As Hades's earth-shaking Nether Palm descended, a flaw appeared in the Heavenly Monarch's defenses. Chu Chu seized this fleeting opportunity, her spiritual energy surging within her. Her hands quickly formed seals, and a dazzling light burst forth from her palms, like the first rays of sunlight at dawn, piercing through the surrounding chaos and clamor.
"Gate of Time and Space, open!" Chu Chu shouted softly, and saw a twisted space crack slowly unfolding in front of her. It was a secret passage leading to the human world.
Without hesitation, she mobilized her magic power and sent Qingtian, Lanying, Tianyi and the unconscious Lu Chenguang into the light gate.
At the final moment before the light gate closed, Tianyi, Qingtian, and Lanying exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with reluctance. They knew this farewell might be forever, but they also knew that protecting Lu Chenguang's safety was their most important mission at the moment.
"We must find a safe place as soon as possible to hide Lu Chenguang's breath." Qingtian said in a deep voice. Although his voice was light, it revealed an unquestionable determination.
Lan Ying nodded, and with a light wave of his finger, a blue light enveloped Lu Chenguang. It was his unique concealment technique, which could temporarily cover up all the aura on Lu Chenguang.
"But I'm afraid it won't last long with my strength alone."
Upon hearing this, Tian Yi pulled out an ancient jade pendant from his bosom. The jade pendant was engraved with intricate runes and emitted a faint light. "This is the 'Hidden Dragon Jade' inherited from my family. It can further enhance the concealment effect. The three of us working together will ensure Lu Chenguang's safety in the human world."
Then, the three surrounded Lu Chenguang, each casting their strongest concealment spells, concentrating their powers on the Hidden Dragon Jade. The Hidden Dragon Jade shone brightly, transforming into a stream of light that tightly enveloped Lu Chenguang. It then transformed into a dark shadow and disappeared into a corner of the human world.
…
The moment Chuchu safely brought Qingtian, Lanying, Tianyi, and the unconscious Lu Chenguang back to the human world, an indescribable wave of emotions welled up within her. Relief for her friends' safety, yet also apprehension about her own future. Without a moment's pause, she turned and transformed into a stream of light, heading straight for Jiayang Mountain, her only safe haven.
Jiayang Mountain, this ancient and mysterious mountain range, is the pride and refuge of the Chongming bird clan. Shrouded in mist, the mountain resembles a fairyland, inviting one to forget the troubles of the world. However, Chuchu knows that this tranquility is but the calm before the storm. The combined attack of the heavenly realm and the demonic realm, like a dark cloud overhead, casts a shadow over this pure land.
She deftly navigated the forest and mountains, eventually finding a hidden cave. Deep within the mountain, its entrance obscured by dense vegetation, it would be impossible to discover without familiarity. Chu Chu took a deep breath, feeling a sense of security within the cave's naturally formed barriers and complex enchantments. She quickly entered the cave and, drawing on her knowledge of the Chongming Bird clan's secrets, reinforced the entrance's defenses, ensuring she would be temporarily shielded from outside interference.
Deep within the cave, Chuchu found a relatively dry rock to sit on, closing her eyes to rest. Yet, her heart was roiling like a raging sea, unable to calm down. At that moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice quietly echoed within her. It was old and majestic, carrying an undeniable power. It was the spirit of an ancestor of the Mingniao clan, a voice she had never truly faced before.
"Chu Chu, do you understand the responsibility you shoulder?" The voice echoed in Chu Chu's heart, like a morning bell and evening drum, suddenly waking her up. She looked around, but saw only the dim cave and the faint glow of a fire, no physical presence. She understood that this was the spirit of her ancestors, holding a spiritual conversation with her.
"Ancestor, I... I know that as a Spirit Lord, I have a heavy responsibility." Chuchu's voice trembled slightly. She tried to calm herself and answered respectfully, "But at this moment, I am worried not only about the peace of the six realms, but also about Lu Chenguang's safety. He is my friend, and he is someone I cannot let go of."
The ancestral spirit's voice seemed to carry a hint of understanding, but more so, an unquestionable firmness: "Lu Chenguang's fate has long been determined, and it cannot be easily changed by you or me. As the core of the Qiankun Liuhe Formation, every choice you make will directly affect the future of the six realms. This is your mission, and your honor."
Chu Chu was shocked when she heard this. Qiankun Liuhe Formation, that ancient and powerful formation, her mother was still suffering for her. She suppressed her sadness, took a deep breath, and let her mood gradually calm down.
"Ancestor, I understand." Chuchu's voice became firm and resolute. "I am willing to take on this responsibility and use my strength to exchange ten thousand years of peace for Lu Chenguang. At the same time, I will also contribute my strength to the peace of the six realms. Please guide me and tell me how to do it."
The ancestral spirit was silent for a moment, as if pondering something. Then, its voice echoed again in Chuchu's heart, with a hint of relief and anticipation: "Your sacrifice and determination will forever be remembered by the Six Realms. From now on, you must practice diligently, strengthen your own strength, and work together to protect the peace of the Six Realms. Remember, your choice will determine the fate of the Six Realms."
Chuchu suddenly opened her eyes, tears glistening in them. She realized that everything she had just experienced was not an illusion, but a profound touch and guidance from the spirits of her ancestors. She quickly wiped away the tears, and her eyes regained their former tenacity and calmness.
At this moment, Lan Feng rushed in with a panicked look on his face, his rapid breathing carrying an unmistakable sense of urgency: "Ling Jun, this is bad! The Celestial Realm and the Demon Realm have joined forces and are trying their best to break through the barrier of Jiayang Mountain. Our defenses are about to collapse!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Chu moved and jumped up from the stone bed. She said in a deep voice, "Take me to see it. Don't panic. We will face it together."
Following Chuchu's steps, a group of loyal spirit guards followed closely behind. Although they were afraid, under Chuchu's determination, that fear was transformed into an indomitable fighting spirit.
Arriving at the front lines, I saw Demon King Bai Ling, clad in a magnificent battle robe, his eyes gleaming with cunning and fierceness. Meanwhile, Heavenly Lord Rong Yi, clad in spotless white, his face stern. Behind him were a vast army of heavenly soldiers and generals, as well as the demonic realm. Both sides were desperately trying to break through the ancient and powerful barrier of Jiayang Mountain.
"If this continues, Jiayang Mountain will fall in less than half an hour." Chuchu thought to herself, but she remained calm on the surface.
She took a deep breath, and spiritual power surged around her body. She took a step forward, formed seals with her hands, and a bright light burst out from her palms, abruptly interrupting the powerful spell that Tianjun was about to cast.
"Enough!" Chuchu's voice pierced through the clamor of the battlefield, clear and firm. "It was me, Chuchu, who used the forbidden technique. This has nothing to do with the Chongming Bird Clan! I am willing to bear all consequences. Please stop!"
