Chapter 140 Fragments of the High Priest's Memory
Every cultivator in the Misty Heaven Realm knows that a large-scale war between them and the Demon Clan is inevitable sooner or later.
When that day finally arrived, the result was a victory for humanity, which greatly surprised everyone.
Although the Five Elements City was littered with dead and wounded, everyone wept with joy.
Because this victory was not just an ordinary victory; it showed everyone a possibility—that humanity could defeat the Demon Clan.
In the past, everyone had teamed up to go out and hunt the Lesser Demons, but they had always only hunted low-level Yellow Demons and Green Demons.
Occasionally, teams have managed to hunt down Blue Demons, but in very small numbers.
But this time, a total of eleven purple demons attacked Five Elements City, but only three escaped, two were captured alive, and six were killed.
This achievement was something no one dared to imagine when the leaders of the Sky Alliance gathered for a meeting at the very beginning of its establishment.
After the war, Venerable Yusheng, together with all the bigwigs, reviewed the entire course of the war.
Then it was discovered that the turning point of the war began the moment Achen and Xi'er appeared at Shifang Academy.
First, Achen, along with his two contracted beasts, Long Batian and Pangtouyu, the three of them restrained a Purple Demon.
Then, Achen temporarily trapped the Purple Demon with his Mental Cage, resisting the Purple Demon's skill, Purple Light Devouring.
Then Achen threw out a stack of group attack talismans, Snow Elf, while Bo Yiyan, who was with him, took the opportunity to spray the Purple Demon with his specially made poisonous mist, Annihilation's Sorrow, which was specifically designed to counter the Purple Demon's true form.
The two attacks caused Zi Mo's invincible cheat to fail prematurely. Bo Yiyan commanded his contracted spirit plant, Qian Si, to pierce Zi Mo's body with spikes containing nerve paralysis toxins, while simultaneously activating the Devour skill.
They successfully defeated the first purple demon and broke through to a higher level on the spot, which also attracted the High Priest.
Then, Xi'er's contracted spirit pets, Da Cai and Xiao Cai, unleashed a powerful illusion, successfully delaying the High Priest's attack and allowing Bo Yiyan to break through to the fifth level of the Tongtian Realm in one fell swoop.
With the help of Bo Yiyan's enhanced Devouring skill, Achen seized the opportunity to unleash his strongest attack—Mental Impact Drill—completely shattering the High Priest's resistance.
Using the help of the contracted spirit plant Thousand Threads to share the powerful energy, Bo Yiyan drained the second purple demon dry.
Later, Yu Shan dispatched all available high-level combat forces, even at the cost of putting her people in constant danger, so that Five Elements City would not be completely destroyed before other reinforcements arrived.
Therefore, the sage's prediction was correct; the reincarnation of the saintess did indeed bring back the light of salvation.
This light of salvation refers not only to Xi'er, but also to Achen and Xi'er, the two children born from the womb of the reincarnated saintess.
Previously, Venerable Yusheng always thought that Xi'er was the savior, because after Yu Shan returned to the Misty Heaven Realm, the Heavenly Dao sensed the aura of this soul that had once defied the heavens and planned to punish her with a tribulation of lightning.
However, the gathering thunderclouds sensed the aura of the saving light after the feather fan revealed its abdomen and immediately dispersed.
At that time, Achen was not by Yushan's side, so Venerable Yusheng naturally assumed that the light of salvation was Xi'er, who was in her womb.
Only now did he truly understand that these two children were indispensable, and that together they were the savior of the world.
Bo Yiyan, who contributed the most in the normal war, was also an otherworldly being attracted by the feather fan.
The others who came to the rescue of the City Lord's Mansion later did so because of her.
The Feather Fan Saintess was the butterfly wing that triggered the great change.
Everything seemed preordained, but it also depended on her own choices.
If she hadn't chosen to defy fate for the sake of her people, she wouldn't have been punished by Heaven.
If her people hadn't united to protect her soul, she wouldn't have been able to reincarnate in another world.
If she hadn't chosen to use her heaven-defying magic again in the other world to save the people there, she wouldn't have been taken to the Flowing Light Galaxy by her lover while in a coma.
If she doesn't reach the Flowing Light Galaxy, she won't be able to awaken her past life memories and find her way home.
If any link in the chain had been missed, this victory would not have been possible.
Venerable Yusheng even wondered if all of this today was the result of someone sacrificing themselves to defy fate.
Whatever the reason, he will use his influence to mobilize all the bigwigs of the Sky Alliance to protect Achen and Xi'er.
He believed that eventually everyone would be able to drive out all the Demon Clan, allowing the people of the Misty Heaven Realm to live a good life.

Bo Yiyan stayed at Shifang Academy, along with Xi'er.
Bo Yiyan stayed here so that the academy could provide him with the best laboratory and the most abundant experimental medicinal materials.
Xi'er, on the other hand, was curious about the academy; she felt it was much more fun than the territory of the Holy Witch Clan.
She was interested in every department here.
Similarly, every tutor here is very interested in her.
The previous war was named the Battle of Five Elements City after the war.
Xi'er's performance in the defense of Five Elements City amazed all the mentors.
A seven-year-old girl, when surrounded by powerful enemies, did not cry and beg for protection.
Instead, he used all his magical power to purify the gray fog, clearing the eyes of all the teachers and students so that they could kill the enemy more easily.
At the same time, she also released both of her contracted spirit pets—two iridescent holy butterflies—to help out, leaving none behind to protect her safety.
Most importantly, she is only seven years old and has already reached the second level of the Spirit Realm. Given time, she will surely surpass her brother, Achen.
That boy was already the most monstrous genius in the entire Ten Directions Academy, and even in the Misty Heaven Realm.
The academy's instructors no longer aspire to be her masters; they only hope to have the opportunity to trick the little girl into attending one of their classes.
Even if you don't attend class, it's fine to just come to your own classroom or office to hang out.
Maybe if we could get a bit of her good luck, our family could produce a child prodigy too.
After lunch break, Xi'er opened her misty eyes and activated the anklet her brother had given her, floating around in the air above the academy.
Suddenly, she found herself at the door of Uncle Bo's laboratory.
Bo Yiyan's eyes were glazed over, as if he had left his soul.
Xi'er floated over and shouted into his ear, "Uncle Bo, what are you thinking about?"
"Ouch! You little brat, you scared me half to death. If you ever appear out of nowhere again and scare people like that, I'll spank your little bottom!" Bo Yiyan glared at her.
"Hehe! Uncle Bo, you've said this dozens of times since I was little, but you've never laid a finger on me." Xi'er reached out and hugged his neck, kissing him on the cheek.
Bo Yiyan's heart melted instantly. Faced with such a cute and adorable little girl, he couldn't bear to say a harsh word, let alone hit her.
Moreover, Xi'er had gone through so much hardship before she was even born, how could he bear not to love her?
"Uncle Bo, you haven't answered my question yet. What were you thinking about just now? You looked like you'd lost your soul, your eyes were all glazed over," Xi'er asked curiously.
"When I absorbed the energy of that high priest of the Little Demon Clan, I had Qian Si share most of it for me."
Recently, I have obtained fragments of the High Priest's memories from Qian Si.
Then I saw the ancestral land of the Fine Demons, a desolate place filled with salt flats.
The people of the Fine Demon Clan were extremely malnourished; their seaweed was yellow and dry, making them look like refugees on the verge of starvation.
Bo Yiyan looked somewhat lost. He had never been a soft-hearted person, and he wished he could kill all of the Demon Clan.
But seeing these memories, he seemed to understand why the Demon Clan would go around eroding and plundering.
Imagine if humans lived in such a world, wouldn't everyone prefer to be a robber rather than abide by any sense of morality and shame?
