Ultimately, the two sides parted ways.
"Xu Ruohai, you stay in the wilderness and assist my clone," Fang Xiu instructed Xu Ruohai.
Xu Ruohai naturally obeyed orders without question.
Afterwards, Fang Xiu took Fang Yao to the Sunset Mountains, which are located in the wilderness.
Gray fog, eeriness, is the main theme of this desolate place, which is a miniature version of the other side. The only difference is that the other side here is not as dangerous as the outside world.
After all, all the strangeness was reduced to physical strength, and even the gray mist had become ordinary fog.
Two figures, one large and one small, walked through the gray mist, surrounded by a constant buzzing sound—the eerie swarm of snakes and insects.
However, before these strange creatures could get close to the two, they were swallowed up by a devouring force generated in the void.
A day later, Fang Xiu's body had reached its limit because he had devoured far too many strange creatures. After all, the Taotie was eating non-stop, and even if not all of them reached the Divine Kingdom, the number was still terrifying.
His body was already at the point of three sublimations, but because he was unable to condense the laws of life, he was unable to break through for a long time, and now he naturally could not accommodate too many strange things.
However, this was no problem for Fang Xiu, who possessed the Black Lotus Decree.
In an instant, the immense life force accumulated within Fang Xiu's body vanished into thin air, while his clone, far away in the Desolate Royal Court, suddenly experienced a surge in physical strength.
Even Xu Ruohai, standing next to the clone, was startled: "Your Excellency, True God, what is this...?"
Clone: "It's alright, the main body has transferred some power to me."
After saying that, the clone cut off its own hand and buried it in the ground. Not long after, another identical clone appeared.
The two clones remained silent and continued their cultivation in silence.
It is conceivable that as Fang Xiu transfers more and more power, the number of clones will also increase dramatically. What is most terrifying is that the cultivation of the clones can be fed back to the original body.
Assuming the clone also cultivates to the level of the original body, then when the two merge, Fang Xiu's strength will increase by a factor of two!
Seven days later, Fang Xiu and Fang Yao finally arrived at Sunset Mountain Range.
It was a towering, majestic mountain range, its outline appearing particularly hazy under the shroud of gray mist, like an ancient behemoth lying dormant on the earth.
At this moment, Fang Yao suddenly felt something and looked into the depths of the Sunset Mountains with her empty eyes: "Nuwa... Temple, it's... there."
Fang Xiu nodded: "Let's go."
The two stepped into the Sunset Mountains, and the moment they entered, it got dark.
Sunset Mountain Range seems to be in two different worlds from the outside world; it's daytime outside, but nighttime inside.
In the darkness, rustling sounds could be heard continuously, as if countless living things were surging.
Fang Xiu clearly sensed that countless eyes were watching the two of them from the surrounding darkness.
"The strangeness here is significantly stronger than that in other places. It seems to have been attracted by the power of the Nuwa Temple. Fang Yao, hide behind me."
He was naturally unafraid of these strange occurrences, but Fang Yao was still too weak; if surrounded, she might die first.
Fang Yao obediently hid in the shadows behind Fang Xiu, stretched out a small, fair hand, tugged at his clothes, and followed him forward.
As the two ventured deeper, the surrounding noises grew louder. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by and pounced straight at Fang Xiu and his companion.
Both of them remained expressionless, letting the shadowy figure attack.
Just as the shadowy figure drew near, Fang Xiu suddenly reached out his left hand and grabbed it. It was a blood-soaked monkey, covered in blood as if its skin had been completely peeled off. It struggled violently, but to no avail.
The gluttonous maw activated instantly, devouring the blood-skinned monkey completely.
This action was like stirring up a hornet's nest; countless roars of wild beasts echoed in the darkness, and the next moment, countless blood-skinned monkeys surged in from all directions.
Fang Xiu scooped up Fang Yao and leaped into the air, landing on a tall ancient tree. He stretched out his left hand, his Taotie mouth wide open, unleashing an invisible and terrifying devouring force, like a black hole, frantically swallowing the blood-skinned monkeys that surged towards him.
After an incense stick had burned, all around was silent, and the faint sounds in the darkness disappeared.
Fang Xiu also helped Fang Yao down from the tree and continued on their way.
Finally, the two stopped in front of a stone wall. The huge, towering stone wall was like an insurmountable chasm, blocking their way.
“The bloodline within me is guiding me; the Nuwa Temple is right here.”
Fang Xiu glanced at the stone wall but made no move. Although he could easily destroy the stone wall in front of him with his strength, he knew very well that the Nuwa Temple was probably hidden behind the stone wall in another space.
After all, it was a temple set up by the goddess Nuwa. If it were so easy to find, then there would be no need for Nuwa's descendants.
As expected, guided by her bloodline, Fang Yao placed her small hand on the stone wall. The next moment, a dazzling five-colored light burst forth from the stone wall, enveloping the two of them.
When the two regained their sight, they found themselves in a huge plaza, surrounded by massive stone pillars carved with mysterious and obscure runes, arranged in some kind of formation.
The ground is paved with huge stones, and the years have left deep marks on it.
At the very center of the square stood a colossal statue, hundreds of feet tall, carved from jade. It was a woman of unparalleled beauty, with perfectly sculpted features, without the slightest flaw. Her lower body was a huge, winding snake tail.
The moment Fang Yao saw the statue, her eyes widened in shock, as if her mind had been stolen in an instant, and she stared blankly at the statue.
He murmured, "Goddess Nuwa..."
Fang Xiu carefully examined the statue of Nuwa. He wasn't observing Nuwa's flawless appearance, but rather her eyes. Those sculpted eyes seemed to belong to a living person, with gentle features, even giving one the feeling of being watched.
Suddenly, he noticed something strange: his long-lost spirituality seemed to stir at this moment, as if it were about to be restored.
But when he tried to perceive it more closely, all the excitement vanished without a trace, as if it were an illusion.
He frowned slightly. With his current strength, he already had complete control over his body and it was impossible for him to have any illusions. Therefore, it seemed that the Nuwa statue might be helpful in restoring his spirituality.
No, that's not right!
It's not a statue of Nuwa, but the essence of Nuwa!
He suddenly remembered the battle with Ling Xinghe before, when the Taotie statue was activated and unleashed unparalleled devouring power, but Ling Xinghe easily severed the connection between the statue and Taotie by using the divine certificate.
In a short time, he finally found a way to restore his spirituality.
