"Alright, from now on, we'll have to trouble you and Zhaoyang with the affairs of Shifang City." Yaoyao stopped Liuyin, who was about to say something, and Liuyin's mood instantly dropped. "Okay."
Then Yaoyao pulled Amu away and disappeared from the city lord's mansion.
Yao Yao and Amu arrived at the Misty Forest. If the Ten Directions City bordered the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm, then the Misty Forest bordered the Six Realms. It was like a button, firmly connecting the six realms together. However, no one dared to venture deep into the Misty Forest, and no one could survive in its depths.
Yao Yao flew on her sword, carrying Amu as they stood atop a transparent blade—the very sword she had obtained from the Zhaoyang City Lord's Mansion. Yao Yao formed hand seals, her brow furrowed.
Amu stood beside Yaoyao without saying much. Before long, a strange phenomenon occurred. A tornado rose from the originally calm Misty Forest, and the sky became unusually dark, with terrifying lightning and thunder.
This scene could not be concealed. Before long, the people of the Six Realms watched in disbelief as the sky changed. A highly accomplished elder knelt on the ground, trembling, and cried out, "This is a great calamity..."
However, some fearless young people said, "Elder, how can this be considered a major disaster? Perhaps it's just the initial appearance of a rare treasure, causing strange phenomena in the heavens and earth. This direction... it's probably towards the Misty Forest! We must go ahead first; maybe we can seize that treasure and bring glory to our sect!"
Seeing the young disciple's fearless appearance, the elder's brow twitched. "Insolence! What time is it? Still thinking about such things? Quickly pack your bags and come back to the sect with me. A tough battle is coming!"
The young disciple was somewhat dissatisfied, but dared not resist, and silently returned to the inn to pack his things.
——Underground——
"We've waited so long, it's finally here! Give the order: reorganize our million-strong demon army, march into the earth, and unify the six realms!"
Below, a group of bizarre and grotesque figures raised their weapons, their eyes bloodshot, shouting, "Kill! Kill! Kill! Unify the Six Realms! Mighty Demon Lord!"
—The Forest of Mist—
As the tornado rose, a curtain of water appeared in front of Yaoyao and Amu. Yaoyao grabbed Amu's collar, sheathed her spirit sword, and jumped into the water. After the two entered, the storm in the Misty Forest gradually dissipated, but the sky remained dark and ominous.
After Yao Yao and Amu jumped into the water curtain, they arrived at a glacier. Amu blinked in confusion, "Where is this? It feels a little familiar."
“Amu, from now on, you will be the one to guide me on this journey.”
Even though I've never been here before, standing here, it's as if my brain has a built-in map, and I know where to go.
Yao Yao followed Amu for a very long time before finally arriving at a large door made of ice and snow. As they walked, Amu, as if possessed, pricked his fingertip and smeared his blood on the door. With a loud "boom," the door slowly opened.
Green starlight began to surround Amu. A moment later, Amu opened his eyes, his black eyes turning green. "Master," Amu said, looking at Yaoyao in a daze. Yaoyao nodded slightly. "Next, I will be in seclusion here for a while. You should go out and meet up with Liu Yin and Zhao Yang, find the Chaos Sect, and show them this. They will understand your intentions. Then go to Lingwu Mountain, find Yiyi, and wait for me to emerge from seclusion."
Looking at the familiar scene before him, Amu trembled as he took the jade pendant from Yaoyao's hand. "Yes."
The next second, Amu was teleported out of the ice field and back to the Misty Forest. However, the Six Realms had already changed. Everywhere was filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and cries of despair echoed across the land.
In the icy plains, Yao Yao arrived at an ice chamber. Four towering ice sculptures stood guard around her, emanating a terrifying aura. At least Yao Yao, who was currently at the Mahayana stage, was no match for them. However, they did not attack her. Instead, after Yao Yao entered the ice chamber, they all knelt on one knee. The room was silent. Yao Yao did not react and walked straight to the center of the ice chamber. There she saw a miraculous scene: Yao Yao's figure gradually became semi-transparent, and an ice coffin appeared in the center of the previously empty ice chamber. Lying in the ice coffin was a beautiful woman. Judging by her face alone, one might mistake her for a twin, but the auras they exuded were completely different.
The one inside the ice coffin was noticeably heavier, and so heavy that one dared not look directly at it.
Yao Yao, now in a semi-transparent form, transformed into specks of starlight and drifted into the ice coffin. The ice sculpture guardian remained kneeling on one knee, as if time itself stood still in this space. Everything seemed to have changed, yet it also seemed unchanged.
After an unknown period of time, the woman in the ice coffin finally opened her eyes. In an instant, a powerful current of air emanated from her and spread outwards. The four ice sculptures that were originally kneeling on one knee were also instantly reduced to dust and dissipated into the air.
Yao Yao, let's just call her Yao Yao for now, she remembered everything: why she traveled through the small world, why she returned here, and now... it should all end.
—The Demon Palace—
Originally, this was the headquarters of a thousand-year-old sect, but the sect was wiped out by the demons, and their headquarters became the demons' headquarters.
When Yao Yao appeared in the Six Realms, it was completely different from before she entered the Misty Forest. The once peaceful and tranquil Six Realms had long been devastated, with ruins everywhere.
When Yao Yao appeared, Sha, a member of the demon race, sensed it. He revealed a cruel smile, "My demon race has been hiding for so long, waiting for this day! This time, we will make sure you never have a chance to rise again!"
But before they could even come knocking, Yao Yao arrived first. "Sha, I let you go before, but you didn't cherish the chance to live. This time, I won't hold back anymore."
Having said that, he unleashed his domain. After Yao Yao unleashed her domain, she was utterly incredulous. "How is this possible? I clearly severely injured you, how could you have become even stronger!" Then, as if realizing something, she thought, "Indeed, worthy of being the Child of Heaven, such favoritism..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward and began to fight with Yao Yao. However, it was obvious that he was no match for Yao Yao and was swept away in just a few moves.
"This farce should end." A sword pierced through the sword.
Watching Sha vanish into the world, Yao Yao remained unmoved. Without Sha, the remaining demons were no threat. Moreover, the complete annihilation of the demons was not a good thing. She couldn't interfere in everything. What would happen next was a test for the Six Realms.
Yao Yao looked at the direction of Shifang City. Next, she would go and fulfill the promises she had made.
She summoned her spirit sword, soared into the sky, and flew away until her figure grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely...
—The End—

After years of procrastination, I've finally filled in the gaps, though it's been a rather hasty job... haha.
Thank you to everyone who encouraged me in the early stages. I wonder if you're still watching now...
I'm sorry, and thank you for the chance to see you again someday.
