Zhao Xiuqi looked closely and realized that the woman was actually his mother.
However, in Zhao Xiuqi's memory, his mother had passed away when he was very young, but now she was standing in front of him.
Zhao Xiuqi's eyes welled up with tears. In a daze, he felt as if he had returned to the young man who was diligently cultivating and determined to become the future hope of the Zhao family.
The woman walked up to Zhao Xiuqi and wiped away his tears. The middle-aged man also smiled.
Zhao Xiuqi diligently cultivated, and as time passed, he finally reached the Mahayana stage, becoming the first person in the Zhao family to ascend to immortality.
But just as the family was immersed in joy, an old man descended from the sky. The old man displayed a strength that Zhao Xiuqi could not imagine, which made Zhao Xiuqi yearn for it!
The old man slowly spoke to Zhao Xiuqi:
"Little one, would you be willing to follow me and learn superior immortal techniques?"
The bewildered Zhao Xiuqi nodded. The old man smiled at Zhao Xiuqi and then slowly spoke:
"But your worldly ties are not yet severed, so I will lend you a hand."
With a gentle wave of the old man's hand, the once lively Zhao family home was instantly reduced to ashes.
And those relatives and friends who came to celebrate Zhao Xiuqi's attainment of the Mahayana stage also vanished like smoke.
Zhao Xiuqi stared blankly at the scene unfolding before him, then spoke to the old man:
"My father told me to become the hope of the Zhao family. But now the Zhao family is gone. What's the point of my cultivation then?"
The old man simply smiled without saying a word.
Zhao Xiuqi kept repeating this sentence until he realized that everything had become an illusion.
Zhao Xiuqi knew from the beginning that he had fallen into an illusion, but his parents appeared in the illusion, making him reluctant to break free. He could only gradually succumb to it.
Knowing that Zhao Xiuqi had asked the question that had been hidden in his heart, the illusion disappeared, leaving only Zhao Xiuqi, trapped in his inner demons, shouting continuously within the great formation!
Chen Tianwen shook his head. As the one controlling the formation, he naturally knew what Zhao Xiuqi had experienced in the illusion formation.
What a pitiful child!
Chen Tianwen sighed silently, but he had no intention of letting Zhao Xiuqi go, after all, Chen Tianwen was not a sentimental person.
Seeing Zhao Xiuqi trapped in his inner demons, Chen Tianwen continued to cast hand seals, and the Five Elements Space reappeared, constantly eroding the immortal spiritual energy on Zhao Xiuqi's body.
Under Chen Tianwen's instructions, the Heart-Questioning Chain slowly approached Zhao Xiuqi.
Zhao Xiuqi, still trapped in his inner demons, was completely unaware of all this!
"Let's do it!"
Chen Tianwen gave a soft shout and used the Silent Earth Lotus once again, blasting it towards Zhao Xiuqi.
Zhao Xiuqi neither dodged nor avoided the enormous earthen-yellow lotus flower that slammed into him. Although he was blasted far away and blood kept flowing from his mouth, he continued to mutter to himself, repeating the words he had just spoken.
The Heart-Questioning Chain naturally wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by, rushing over and binding Zhao Xiuqi tightly.
Chen Tianwen slowly appeared, standing in front of Zhao Xiuqi!
Now Chen Tianwen is no longer afraid of Zhao Xiuqi's tricks, because the evolved Heart-Questioning Chain can not only bind a person's actions, but also their soul.
A person who has lost their soul cannot use any of their skills, no matter how many tricks they have.
At this moment, Zhao Xiuqi had become neither human nor ghost. Chen Tianwen couldn't help but sigh, recalling how spirited and arrogant Zhao Xiuqi had been when he first arrived.
Moreover, Zhao Xiuqi did indeed possess such strength. If I hadn't set up the immortal array here a few days in advance, how could I have captured Zhao Xiuqi?
Chen Tianwen did a careful calculation and found that he had lost a total of twenty-nine top-grade immortal artifacts and countless fourth and fifth-grade immortal pills in order to deal with Zhao Xiuqi!
These resources are enough for his Bu Huo City to use for ten years, and the price Chen Tianwen paid was considerable.
"Little Chain, is there a way to search for a soul?"
Chen Tianwen told the Soul-Searching Chain that although he could also search souls, he dared not act rashly against Zhao Xiuqi, a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation.
After all, the soul of a Great Luo Golden Immortal is already extremely condensed. If one were to rashly search the soul, it might very well provoke resistance from the soul.
The Heart-Chain said smugly:
"Master, leave it to me!"
As the Heart-Questioning Chain spoke, it emitted bursts of golden light, entering Zhao Xiuqi's sea of consciousness, and Zhao Xiuqi's eyes became empty.
Chen Tianwen also took out a jade slip and threw it to the Heart-Questioning Chain, instructing the Heart-Questioning Chain to engrave Zhao Xiuqi's memories into the jade slip.
After a full hour, the Soul-Searching Chain finally completed its soul-searching process and triumphantly handed the jade slip to Chen Tianwen.
Chen Tianwen looked at Zhao Xiuqi lying on the ground. After the soul search, Zhao Xiuqi's intelligence had been completely destroyed.
Although Zhao Xiuqi still had some life left, he was no different from a living dead!
Chen Tianwen sighed. Putting everything else aside, Zhao Xiuqi was definitely a formidable opponent.
Not only is he incredibly strong, but he is also meticulous and cautious.
Therefore, Chen Tianwen couldn't bear to leave Zhao Xiuqi's body in the wilderness. Chen Tianwen raised his hands and extinguished Zhao Xiuqi's last bit of life.
"I will bury you in this endless sea of sand!"
Chen Tianwen dug a giant pit about 10,000 meters deep in the endless sea of sand and put Zhao Xiuqi's body into it, so as to prevent Zhao Xiuqi's body from being devoured by ferocious beasts.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Chen Tianwen also left the Endless Sand Sea.
"This knife has reached the level of a Dao-grade immortal artifact, a good thing."
Chen Tianwen placed Zhao Xiuqi's immortal sword into the spiritual energy space, allowing the cauldron spirit to slowly erase Zhao Xiuqi's traces from the sword.
Apart from that, Zhao Xiuqi had nothing else of value on him.
After returning to Tuyun City, Chen Tianwen did not go directly to Xiang Feng.
After all, Zhao Xiuqi was the Grand Elder of the Sand Sea Guild in Tu Yun City. His sudden disappearance would surely lead to an investigation.
Xiang Feng had gone to see Zhao Xiuqi, so this matter definitely couldn't be kept secret.
However, Chen Tianwen had already come up with a solution for Xiang Feng, so he wasn't worried about Xiang Feng's safety.
Chen Tianwen returned to the inn, tidied up briefly, and then set off for the next city!
Chen Tianwen hadn't even had time to examine the jade slip containing Zhao Xiuqi's memories, which was why he was in such a hurry.
It was because Chen Tianwen was afraid that the people behind Zhao Xiuqi came looking for him.
The person capable of annihilating the Hua family is someone Chen Tianwen is not capable of dealing with at his current level, since even the Hua family's Immortal Lord level experts are no match for him.
Chen Tianwen avoided cities and specifically chose to settle in places that were rarely visited by people.
After traveling hastily for more than ten days, Chen Tianwen finally felt at ease entering the spiritual space to examine Zhao Xiuqi's memories!
