The far north is in turmoil, and we must go there even though we are completely unprepared.
If we delay our departure even a moment, the strength of the Taotie will increase exponentially, and the resulting losses will be immeasurable.
With fragments of memories from my past life, I'm looking at this issue from a completely new perspective.
Shi Jiu said I would live forever in this world, but in my opinion, that's not true.
As I perish, I will return to the demon realm I do not understand. The reason I did not die when I faced the drought demon last time was simply because its energy could not break through my demonic energy defense.
That pure white world at that time was just another space shrouded in demonic energy.
Before setting off this time, I had prepared myself mentally, because I might very well stay in the far north forever.
After gaining full access to the memories, I became even more aware of how terrifying the Taotie was. As one of the four great ferocious beasts, it possessed power comparable to that of a god.
Despite my powerful demonic energy, I am not an ancient true god, and the battle against Taotie remains uncertain.
I've also figured out a lot of things, and it all started because of my arrival.
I was the one who created the Taoist arts that we know today, and I was also the one who led Taoism to its dead end.
"Master, let's set off."
"The current situation leaves us no time to prepare."
"I have a very bad feeling..."
This is not me exaggerating; it is my heart telling me that a great disaster is about to strike.
My master didn't ask me why; he simply stood up after hearing what I said and said:
"I understand. I will gather my men and get to the far north as quickly as possible."
I nodded and said, "Master, there are some things I'd like to talk to you about alone."
The master glanced at Wu Shi subconsciously and said in a deep voice, "That's why I'll come to the main hall."
Wu Shi didn't say anything, he just smiled and nodded at me.
I just watched him quietly, and then walked into Hanyun Hall.
The master changed into his Taoist robe and placed many talismans on the table.
I vaguely saw many top-tier talismans, so it seems that Master doesn't intend to use these things this time.
After straightening his Taoist robe, the master asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Xi, is there something you want to say to me?"
I lowered my head, knelt down before my master, and kowtowed heavily on the ground: "Master, thank you so much for giving me a different life in this lifetime."
"I have gained many memories, but the memories about the Demon Realm are sealed away. However, I have already seen my own ending."
"The complete collection of talismans and that ancient book that you gave me were personally compiled and handed over to the head of Maoshan Sect two thousand years ago."
"It may sound unbelievable, but it was all preordained."
After I finished speaking, I slowly stood up and stared intently into my master's eyes.
"So you really don't intend to say anything?"
My master and I stared at each other for a long time, then he revealed an enigmatic smile.
Then my master looked at me with his deep, ghostly eyes. This was the second time I had felt pressure from my master's ghostly eyes.
The first time was before I entered the Taoist sect. Perhaps I was too naive back then and felt pressured, which is understandable.
Now my Taoist skills have reached their peak, and I have remembered all my memories from my past life. I can say without any modesty that I am the pinnacle of Taoist arts in the world.
Even so, I could still feel oppressed by my master, the Demon Eye.
“Xiao Xi, I have never lied to you. I once said that my ghost eyes can see everything, including your past and present lives.”
"That hundreds-of-years-old Corpse King, do you really think your master can't do anything to him?"
"It was just the right time; everything was too early back then."
"Master, do you think the path I've chosen is the right one?"
"To be honest, I'm very scared. I'm very scared that you, Master, have already seen the ending."
I felt a little down. Over the years, my master had always chosen to observe me quietly without interfering excessively in my growth.
At first, I didn't understand. I just thought my master was an ordinary Taoist priest who had a pair of eyes that were a little more powerful than others.
But after my master and I entered the underworld that time, I noticed something was wrong with him.
When the master first entered the underworld, he was not restrained, but when he saw Chaos, he rarely spoke.
At the time, I felt something was strange, but then I realized that it was because my master saw through the other person's identity at first glance and foresaw the fate of the three of us.
So he remained silent, simply waiting for the outcome.
He knew I would definitely bring back the Rebirth Fruit, and he also knew I could definitely revive Wu Shi, so he wouldn't do anything that would harm the outcome, nor would he say anything that would harm the outcome.
At first, I only had doubts, but after I regained my memories of my past life, I understood this ability.
This is the innate ghost eye in Maoshan ghost techniques, which can perceive yin and yang, life and death, see through the red line of cause and effect, and know the reversal of heaven and earth.
This is a terrifying ability, and for so many years, my master has been bearing the karmic consequences that have led to his utter ruin.
"Xiaoxi, no matter what the outcome, we still have to do it."
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the ending, as it would lead to many things. I also can't tell you whether it's good or bad, because one decision I make could change things in an irreversible direction."
