Guo Yan had intended to wait until she reached the Void Refinement stage before seeking revenge. However, she never expected her enemy to be killed first, and the Blood Shadow Palace to be destroyed. This was truly gratifying!
However, her mother, who had already been turned into a corpse, became someone else's spoils of war.
The Jade Flute Fairy was able to kill the Red Cloud Demon, proving that she was even more powerful than him. How could she reclaim her mother's body? Later, she learned that the Jade Flute Fairy was collecting various spiritual herbs to repair the soul and nourish the primordial spirit, so she went through countless hardships and faced near-death experiences to find a Soul-Gathering Pearl.
The Soul-Gathering Pearl, as its name suggests, has the effect of calming the soul and nourishing the primordial spirit. It is formed from the condensation of a three-flowered pearl clam that has existed for ten thousand years; only a small pearl is formed every ten thousand years.
The Soul-Gathering Pearl that Guo Yan obtained was only the size of a fingernail, which was already quite rare.
With a wave of her hand, A Yao summoned the Soul-Gathering Pearl into her palm. She looked at Guo Yan and said, "I'll take this pearl; you can take your mother with you."
Guo Yan was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Thank you, fairy!"
"No need to thank me. You give me the Soul-Gathering Pearl, and I'll return your mother to you. It's a fair trade!" As she spoke, A Yao waved her hand, and a jade slip imprinted with a lot of information flew towards Guo Yan.
"Keep this jade slip!"
As she spoke, A Yao turned and transformed into a streak of azure light, speeding away. Feng Chu blinked, then, carrying the Light Thunder Beast, also transformed into a streak of light and followed A Yao.
In a sea of flowers, a coffin stands, and in front of it floats a beautiful female corpse.
Guo Yan took the jade slip, looked inside with her divine sense, and showed surprise.
It contains methods for controlling the corpse-refining process, as well as methods for releasing the control over her mother's primordial spirit, restoring her sanity, allowing her to enter the cycle of reincarnation, and even methods for preventing her mother from entering reincarnation and allowing her to cultivate the ghost path after regaining her sanity.

The former site of Blood Shadow Palace has now become the territory of A Yao and Feng Chu. Passing through the barrier that shrouds Blood Shadow Palace, A Yao and Feng Chu land on a high point of a palace.
The Lightning Beast jumped off Feng Chu's shoulder and transformed into a streak of azure lightning, speeding through the palace.
Ignoring his spirit beast, Feng Chu looked at A Yao and said, "I feel like I can break through to the Void Refinement Realm."
Over the past decade, his cultivation level has soared rapidly, and he is now at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
Ayao looked at him and said, "When do you plan to break through to the Void Refinement stage? I'll protect you."
Just as Feng Chu was about to say "now," he suddenly sensed an aura approaching. Feng Chu released his divine sense and saw a crimson rainbow hurtling towards them from thousands of miles away, with a young man dressed in black within it.
Before long, the young man in black arrived at the Blood Shadow Palace. He floated in the sky, his gaze piercing through the barrier covering the entire palace, and met A Yao's eyes.
Feng Chu stared sharply at the young man in black. He was enveloped in demonic energy, far more concentrated than any demonic cultivator she had ever seen. Could this guy be…?
Demon race?
This guy seems to have pretty strong cultivation. Who is he? What's he doing here?
Ayao wasn't surprised at all when she saw the young man in black; she flew out of the barrier. Feng Chu looked at Ayao in astonishment; he realized that Ayao knew the young man in black.
"Take these corpses with you."
Ayao stood in the sky, looking at the young man in black. With a wave of her hand, four coffins appeared in the sky. Over the years, besides the four refined corpses she obtained from the Old Demon Hongyun, Ayao had also obtained quite a few refined corpses from other demonic cultivators.
Without a word, the young man in black waved his hand, rolled up his sleeve, and took the four coffins away. Then he transformed into a rainbow and left.
This young man in black is an avatar created by A Yao using a demon's body; more accurately, it's an external avatar. Because this avatar is different from other avatars, its location cannot be swapped, nor can its memories be directly synchronized.
A Yao's demonic clone was heading to the Endless Abyss. The main body and the other clones believed that they should bring more trump cards. Since A Yao in green had quite a few refined corpses, he took them along the way.
"Who is he?" Feng Chu asked.
Ayao chuckled and said, "It's an avatar I created."
Upon hearing this answer, Feng Chu was shocked. His light golden eyes widened as he looked at A Yao and asked, "When did you refine it? How come I didn't know?"
Ayao smiled mysteriously and said, "It's a secret."
Feng Chu: "..."
The black-haired, golden-eyed boy crossed his arms, scoffed, and turned his gaze away. After a moment, he looked at A Yao and asked, "Your avatar feels different from others. The aura it exudes, that demonic energy, is different from other demonic cultivators. He... he couldn't possibly be a demon, could he?"
Feng Chu had never seen a demon before, only heard descriptions of them.
“You guessed right,” Ayao said.
"You actually captured a demon to use as an avatar, what are you planning to do?" Feng Chu asked.
“Let him go explore the Endless Abyss. Feng Chu, you didn’t intend to stay in the Canglan Realm forever, did you? The upper limit for cultivators in the Canglan Realm is the Integration Stage. If you want to become stronger, you have to cross the Endless Abyss and go to the Kongmeng Realm,” A Yao said.
She looked at the young man in front of her. He had a face as beautiful as jade and golden eyes that shone with an unusual light. She said, "With your talent, you will soon reach the Integration Stage. This place is too small for both of us."
"The Void Realm? What kind of world is that?" Feng Chu asked A Yao.
“The Void Realm is a level higher than here, and the spiritual energy there is much more abundant, but the demon race occupies half of the territory. If we only want to become immortals, we can do it in the Void Realm. But the height I want to reach is the pinnacle of cultivation, and I think you do too.” A Yao looked at Feng Chu.
During the ten years he spent with A Yao, Feng Chu learned many things from her. For example, the various realms after becoming an immortal. He had long ago secretly vowed that he must become an Immortal Emperor.
He will become the strongest Immortal Emperor!!
"I will become the strongest Immortal Emperor!" Feng Chu declared with burning fighting spirit in his golden eyes.
The boy wanted to be the strongest, for no particular reason other than wanting to be number one.
"The Immortal Emperor realm isn't easy to reach. To become stronger, you need to see a wider world. Our final destination is the Seven Primal Realms," Ayao said, gazing at the sky.
Feng Chu watched as her hair was blown by the wind, his golden eyes filled with doubt: "The Seven Primordial Realms?"
“Yes, the Seven Primordial Realms are the earliest planes to be born in all the myriad worlds. They are even older than the ancient stars. The Seven Primordial Realms are home to the strongest beings in the entire universe,” A Yao said.
"The strongest being in the entire universe? That sounds interesting," Feng Chu said.
Ayao chuckled: "The Seven Primordial Realms are still quite far from us. Anyway, you should focus on breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm first! My avatar will go to the Endless Abyss to check out the situation of the Demon Clan there. After all, we have to pass through the Demon Clan's territory to get to the Void Realm."
