Seeing the valley in complete chaos, with the Demon Lord and Xuanji Zhenren locked in a fierce battle, Ye Meier tried to wake Zhang Shaozhong, while Ling Qingxue stood by anxiously, tears streaming down her face.

At this critical moment, the Boundary Stone in Zhang Shaozhong's arms suddenly flew out on its own, buzzing and emitting a blinding white light!

"What happened?"

Master Xuanji was startled.

The Demon Lord also stopped, his blood-red eyes narrowing slightly: "The Boundary Stone has been activated!"

The white light from the Boundary Stone grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire valley so brightly that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

When the light faded, there was no one left in the valley, only an empty space.

When Zhang Shaozhong opened his eyes again, he found himself back in that familiar place of starfall—a swirling nebula overhead, a crystal floor beneath his feet, and a floating black boulder in the distance.

Not only him, but also Xuanji Zhenren, the Demon Lord, Ling Qingxue, and Ye Meier were all transferred over!

"What happened?"

Master Xuanji's expression was grim. "Why did the Boundary Stone activate automatically?"

The Demon Lord sensed the spatial fluctuations around him, a knowing glint in his blood-red eyes: "It's that chaotic vortex. It sensed the energy of the Boundary Stone and brought us all here on its own."

Zhang Shaozhong coldly scanned his surroundings, finally fixing his gaze on the enormous chaotic vortex in the center.

Above the vortex, the Yin Essence, the Nine Netherworld Demonic Fire, and the Chaos Origin still floated there.

“Senior,” he said to Xuanji Zhenren, “Now that I’m here, I will refine the Chaos Origin here to improve my cultivation so that I can take revenge as soon as possible.”

Before Xuanji Zhenren could speak, the Demon Lord sneered, "Boy, do you think refining the power of origin is as simple as eating and drinking? A slight mistake and you will be annihilated, body and soul!"

Ye Meier hurriedly said, "Husband! Don't be impulsive! Let's find out the truth about your uncle and aunt's murder first, okay?"

Ling Qingxue also advised, "Husband, cultivating the power of origin is too dangerous. Let's discuss this further."

Zhang Shaozhong seemed not to hear, and sat down cross-legged, circulating the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique and drawing upon the Chaos Origin.

Sensing the aura of the same origin, the chaotic origin immediately separated wisps of energy and surged towards Zhang Shaozhong.

"not good!"

The Demon Lord's expression changed. "He'll die if he acts recklessly like this!"

Master Xuanji's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Let him refine it! If he succeeds, my Taiqing Sect will gain another great general!"

Seeing Zhang Shaozhong's painful state as he was enveloped in chaotic energy, Ling Qingxue steeled her heart and sat down cross-legged as well: "Since my husband wants to refine, I'll accompany you!"

She circulated her cultivation technique, drawing upon the true essence of Taiyin.

The power of extreme cold instantly enveloped her.

Seeing this, Ye Meier stomped her foot: "Are you all crazy? Fine! Let's all go crazy together!"

She also sat down and activated the Nine Netherworld Demon Fire.

Dark red flames immediately enveloped her.

The Demon Lord roared in fury, "Nonsense! All nonsense!"

However, he is currently suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage and cannot stop the three desperate individuals.

Master Xuanji stroked his beard and smiled: "Good, good! If Qingxue can refine the Taiyin True Essence, our Taiqing Sect will have another helper."

Above the chaotic vortex, the three were each enveloped by primordial energy, painfully being refined.

Zhang Shaozhong struggled within the chaotic energy, pushing the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique to its limit.

The cold, icy techniques clashed with the violent, chaotic energy, causing him excruciating pain.

But the hatred in his heart sustained him, making him grit his teeth and persevere.

Ling Qingxue shivered from the extreme cold of the Taiyin True Essence, but her mind kept flashing back to the moments she spent with Zhang Shaozhong.

Those warm memories became her only support.

Ye Meier struggled to endure the scorching flames of the Nine Netherworlds, while the Demon Lord paced anxiously nearby, unable to offer any assistance.

After an unknown amount of time, the chaotic vortex suddenly began to tremble violently!

"It's going to be a success!" Master Xuanji exclaimed in delight.

Zhang Shaozhong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with chaotic energy, and his cultivation level broke through to the peak of the Golden Core stage!

But his white hair remained cold, and the hatred in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Qingxue also succeeded, her body radiating a chilling aura as her cultivation level recovered to the Nascent Soul stage.

Ye Meier was the last to finish. The Nine Netherworld Demonic Flame danced in her eyes, and her cultivation level reached the Demonic Infant stage.

The moment the three successfully refined the power of origin, the chaotic vortex spun wildly, and a gate of light slowly opened at the center of the vortex!

"The gate to time and space has opened!" the Demon Lord shouted.

Master Xuanji was overjoyed: "Quickly! Come back to the Taiqing Sect with me!"

He then tried to pull Zhang Shaozhong and Ling Qingxue into the portal.

"etc!"

Ye Meier hurriedly cried out, "Husband! Come back to the Demon Realm with us! My father can help you find out the truth!"

Zhang Shaozhong glanced at her coldly: "The truth? I saw it with my own eyes, what truth do I need to investigate?"

Ling Qingxue felt a pang of heartache looking at Zhang Shaozhong's cold demeanor, but said to Xuanji Zhenren, "Master, I will go back with you."

Master Xuanji laughed loudly: "Alright! Let's go!"

Just as the three were about to step into the gate of light, the Demon Lord suddenly tried to stop them, but was forced back by Xuanji Zhenren with a single palm strike.

Night Enchantress tried to rush over, but was bounced back by the energy of the light gate.

"My husband!"

She cried out in despair, "I will find out the truth! I will definitely clear my father's name!"

Zhang Shaozhong paused for a moment, but did not turn around, and stepped straight into the portal.

Ling Qingxue took one last look at Ye Meier and whispered, "Take care."

He went in too.

Xuanji Zhenren glanced triumphantly at the Demon Lord before stepping into the gate of light.

The portal closed instantly, and the chaotic vortex gradually calmed down.

Only the Demon Lord and his daughter Ye Meier remained in the Land of Fallen Stars.

Ye Meier collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

The Demon Lord sighed and helped her up: "Don't cry. Now that they've returned to the cultivation world, we'll go back too. I'll definitely help you find out the truth and bring that silly boy back to you."

Ye Meier wiped away her tears, her eyes resolute: "No need to tie him up, I want him to come back and admit his mistake willingly!"

At this moment, Zhang Shaozhong and his two companions, having passed through the portal of time and space, were already standing on the land of the cultivation world.

A rich spiritual energy rushed towards him, and Xuanji Zhenren's cultivation level instantly recovered. His powerful aura made cultivators within a hundred miles feel their hearts tremble.

"I'm finally back!"

Master Xuanji laughed heartily, looking at Zhang Shaozhong and Ling Qingxue, "Come, follow me back to the Taiqing Sect. Qingxue, you remain the Holy Maiden of the Taiqing Sect. As for Shaozhong..."

He said meaningfully, "I will give you the status of a core disciple to help you take revenge on the Demon Lord as soon as possible."

Zhang Shaozhong nodded indifferently: "Thank you, senior."

Ling Qingxue looked at her completely unfamiliar husband and felt a chill in her heart.

She knew that upon returning to the Taiqing Sect, they would face an even more difficult situation.

Meanwhile, far away in the Demon Realm, Ye Meier clenched her fists: "Zhang Shaozhong, you just wait! When the truth comes out, let's see how you kneel down and beg for my forgiveness!"
