After Xie Qi returned to the Immortal Palace, he ran to the room to find Yu Ze. He walked over and sat next to him and asked, "Master, can I ask you a question?"
Yu Ze paused in his reading and responded, "You say."
Xie Qi thought about it and felt that the topic needed to be changed, so he asked, "If Fang Kongyi died, would you be sad?"
When Yu Ze heard this, he frowned and looked at him, "Why are you curious about this question?"
Xie Qi: "I'm just curious, Master, can you tell me?"
Yu Ze: "He can't die."
Xie Qi: "Master, what if I said, what if?"
Yu Ze looked at Xie Qi's persistent eyes and sighed. His tone was calm but a little helpless. "If it's true, I might feel regretful, but not sad. I've never been truly sad for anyone."
Xie Qi's eyes darkened, and he continued to ask: "If Fang Kongyi's death can save the people of the Three Realms, will you stop him from dying?"
Yu Ze answered without hesitation, "No. Saving one person and harming innocent people goes against my principles."
Xie Qi's fingers curled up unconsciously, and his voice became a little tense: "What if that person is me?"
Yu Ze frowned when he heard this, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes: "What do you mean it's you?"
Xie Qi suddenly smiled, pretending to be relaxed to break the solemn atmosphere: "It's the same situation as Fang Kongyi. If sacrificing me can save the world, what do you think, Master? Doesn't it sound impressive?"
Yu Ze was silent for a long time, his eyes fixed on the distance, and he did not answer immediately.
Seeing this, Xie Qi immediately put on a playful expression: "Oh! Master, are you going to ignore all the people in the world for my sake? Oh my God! Oh my God! I didn't expect that I am so important in Master's heart!" He waved his arms exaggeratedly, but a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.
Yu Ze looked at Xie Qi's playful smile and pursed his lips: "If it were you... I wouldn't... either."
The last two words were practically squeezed out through gritted teeth. Yu Ze's principles wouldn't allow him to disregard the entire plane for one person, but something was struggling fiercely in his heart.
But in the end, reason overcame emotion, and the word "no" was still uttered.
However, when Xie Qi heard Yu Ze's words, he unconsciously clenched the corners of his clothes with both hands, and his knuckles turned white due to the force.
But Xie Qi knew that this was exactly what he wanted. He hoped that Yu Ze would not be sad because of his departure in the end.
Xie Qi forced a smile and said in a casual tone, as if he was joking, "Master, you are so heartless."
Yu Ze: "...Didn't you ask your master?"
Xie Qi lowered his eyes and shrugged casually: "Okay, then I won't ask. I'd better go out for a walk. Goodbye, Master."
After Xie Qi said this, he turned around and left, going directly to the Demon Mountain in the human world.
Xie Qi could clearly feel that the crisis was approaching and he had to complete the task before the disaster struck.
However, Xie Qi did not want Yu Ze to worry, so he could only ask Fang Kongyi to help hold his master back. Although Fang Kongyi was reluctant, he finally agreed to this request.
So Fang Kongyi took Yu Ze away from the fairyland on the pretext of collecting the essence of the sun and the moon to replenish his spiritual veins. Although Yu Ze had doubts in his heart, he thought that Xie Qi should be fine in the fairyland, so he followed Fang Kongyi to the human world.
After Yu Ze left, Xie Qi went to meet the Emperor of Heaven alone.
At this moment, many immortals gathered under the Punishment Platform. The Emperor of Heaven looked at Xie Qi beside him and sighed, "Even if you say that you won't die as long as your demon core is still there, can you really endure the pain of the Soul-Stirring Arrow piercing your bones?"
Xie Qi's eyes were firm, and a stubborn arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "How do you know if it won't work if you don't try?"
The Emperor of Heaven was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Well."
When the surrounding immortals heard that Xie Qi was about to endure the punishment of thousands of soul-destroying arrows, no one spoke out to dissuade him. After all, they also hoped that Xie Qi could become stronger and deal with the heavenly tribulation.
Xie Qi stood on the punishment platform, and countless immortals holding golden bows and arrows were floating in the sky around him.
Those bows and arrows emitted dazzling golden light, and even the arrows themselves were condensed from pure golden spiritual power.
Following a command, countless spiritual arrows rained down like a torrential rain. Each soul-stirring arrow, after piercing Xie Qi's body, instantly transformed into spiritual energy and seeped into his bone marrow, leaving only a tiny blood hole in his skin, from which blood continuously gushed out.
The intense pain made Xie Qi's face pale and his whole body trembled. But he gradually realized that as the time he endured it increased, the strength in his body continued to increase. It seemed that it was the power of the Boundary-Breaking Epiphyllum itself that was protecting his body. This discovery made Xie Qi sure that his gamble was right.
Time passed by minute by minute, and more than two thousand soul-stirring arrows had pierced Xie Qi's body. At this moment, his body was covered in blood, and his lips, which had been bitten repeatedly to endure the severe pain, were also oozing blood.
The Emperor of Heaven witnessed this scene and turned away with reluctance, no longer looking at this stubborn figure.
At the moment when the 2468th soul-stirring arrow pierced Xie Qi's body, the entire fairy world suddenly shook violently, as if it had encountered a strong earthquake.
All the immortals holding spiritual arrows stopped and looked at this sudden vision in shock.
At this moment, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the originally clear sky without any warning. The crack seemed to tear the sky apart, which was shocking.
Even ordinary people in the human world could clearly see the terrifying crack in the sky. For a time, everyone was in a state of panic.
The bright sky became dim and dim, as if covered by a thick haze, and the stars in the sky collectively went out.
This strange scene shocked everyone. What was even more shocking was that the "Chaos Crack" left over from ancient times was broken!
