Yi always carried a red bow. He was unerring in his arrows, hitting the bullseye every time he was out of range. He could easily pierce the heart of an enemy leader amidst a vast army on the battlefield.
Yao was overjoyed and specially granted Shangqiu as his fiefdom, which often amazed people in the tribe:
"Yi, you are really amazing! No one can stop your arrow. You could probably even shoot down the sun, right?"
Yi shook his head: "The sun is staying in Tanggu perfectly well, why should I shoot it?" — Besides, if I really shot it, this grumpy bow would surely go crazy and tear him apart.
"Who knows... Tanggu, yes, the sun stays quietly on the Fusang tree in Tanggu. After all, he is the prince of the demon race."
Yi gripped his bow and gazed into the distance. On the horizon, he could almost see the towering shadow of the Fusang tree, and flames seemed to be burning on that shadow.
On the horizon, in Tang Valley.
Hibiscus.
Unseen by anyone, hidden by the two barriers of Heavenly Dao and Emperor Jun, Fusang Wood was truly burning with flames.
At this moment, Tanggu was already in complete chaos. The five demon saints sent by Dijun to guard Yi were in a frantic state, their hands trembling as they wrote reports.
"Quickly! Go and inform His Majesty! The Crown Prince has encountered a problem in his cultivation. He's entangled with a demonic inner demon—he's currently struggling with it. Go and inform His Majesty so he can find a way to save the Crown Prince! If we delay any longer, the Crown Prince will truly suffer a cultivation deviation!"
Chen Yao felt like he was burning.
It's a strange feeling.
He is a three-legged golden crow, and he himself is the burning yang fire. How can fire burn itself?
But that was the truth; his whole body was burning hot, and he rolled around on the hibiscus tree, the pain causing him to let out a bloodcurdling scream!
Breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is no easy feat.
Who in this world is without worries? Only immortals are carefree and at ease. Great immortals can reside in the Great Luo Heaven, ageless, immortal, and eternally living. They enjoy the ultimate bliss of the immortal realm without any sorrow. Only by severing the three corpses and transforming the six qi can one touch the edge of this realm.
However, his true form is composed of three separate souls and seven spirits. To sever the three corpses and transform them into six energies is more than ten times more difficult than for ordinary people. It is not something that can be done in a short time!
But right now, what he lacks most is time.
Chen Yao kept his eyes tightly closed.
Everyone outside knew that he had gone astray in his cultivation and might suffer a qi deviation, so they were all on high alert nearby, fearing that he might lose his mind and go insane.
But in reality, Chen Yao felt he was very calm.
To be possessed by a demon is to have one's mind bewitched by inner demons—but he hasn't reached that point yet.
His inner demons were still entangled with him.
"I said, what are you still hesitating about? Your woman is about to die—and you're still so calm?"
No one can say for sure what shape the inner demon takes, but at this moment, in Chen Yao's sea of consciousness, what he saw was a human figure that looked exactly like himself.
He clenched his fists tightly, closed his eyes to ignore his inner demons, and continued to use his spiritual power to break through the bottleneck in his cultivation.
The inner demon cackled, "Hey, do you know that your woman is currently with that great shaman of the Wu tribe named Yi? Every few days, Di Jiang forces her to revert to her original form! You should know how humiliating it is to be forced into your original form, right?"
Chen Yao's fingers turned white and blue from the excessive force: "Shut up!"
The inner demon not only didn't shut up, but instead burst into loud laughter:
"Yi is dating Chang'e. Oh my, that great witch is really something. First, she stole your woman, and now she's seduced a fairy from your demon clan. She's a real winner in life, isn't she? Your red bow spends all day and night with her, much more time with her than you have, and she's in her original form—aren't you afraid she'll change her mind?"
