Chapter 110 is all a lie!
"Senior, what are you saying? I was just worried!"
Rong Xi chuckled, "After all, you've been imprisoned for so many years. What if something happens to this secret door? Wouldn't we be walking into a dead end?"
“Little girl, if you don’t trust me, you can stay here by yourself.”
Xiaoyaozi sensed Rong Xi's distrust of him, and he was furious. It was only because he was currently a skeleton and his facial expression couldn't be seen. If he could see his face, Rong Xi would definitely know that the old man was on the verge of exploding.
"How could that be?"
With a "nothing to lose" mentality, Rong Xi immediately stepped into the swirling, dark vortex.
The moment Rong Xi stepped into the dark vortex, her vision suddenly cleared.
She stood in a picturesque valley, and not far away, there were endless fields of spiritual rice paddies, as well as patches of spiritual herbs and fruits growing.
Xiaoyaozi's skeletal form also appeared in the valley.
As Xiaoyaozi appeared, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the valley began to surge wildly towards him. Consequently, the spiritual energy within the spiritual grains, herbs, and fruits of the valley also rushed towards him.
"What are they trying to do?"
Rong Xi had no idea what was wrong with Xiaoyaozi, so she could only quickly leave the valley. Heaven knows what was wrong with Xiaoyaozi right now; if she were implicated, who knows how miserable she would be!
Summoned from the system's blessed land, Rong Xi mounted the Taotie and vanished from the valley in the blink of an eye.
Looking back at the valley in the courtyard, Rong Xi shuddered.
As expected of the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaoyaozi created a terrifying whirlwind of spiritual energy at his location. This whirlwind did not spread outwards, but rather converged towards Xiaoyaozi's skeletal form.
"Taotie, do you know what kind of method this is?"
Rong Xi watched the commotion caused by Xiaoyaozi from afar, sensing the changes in Xiaoyaozi's aura.
In a short period of time, Xiaoyaozi's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and his skeletal body was slowly regenerating flesh and blood.
"This seems to be the Devouring Heaven Technique of our Taotie clan, but... it seems a little different!"
Taotie stood beside Rong Xi, also watching the strange phenomenon caused by Xiaoyaozi. However, compared to Rong Xi's shock, Taotie's eyes were full of disdain.
"Tell me more!"
Rong Xi glanced at Taotie.
"Our Taotie clan's Devouring Heaven Technique is a secret racial technique passed down through bloodlines. The technique this little guy is currently using is somewhat similar to the Devouring Heaven Technique, but in reality, they are quite different!"
Taotie immediately launched into a popular science lecture, explaining what the Devouring Heaven Technique was, such as how, at its peak, Taotie could even devour heaven and earth. However, Xiaoyaozi's technique had significant drawbacks.
"Simply put, this little guy's cultivation technique is indeed very advanced, allowing him to directly absorb the spiritual energy of all things to improve his cultivation. However, this absorption has limitations. Once the limit is exceeded, and he cannot refine the absorbed spiritual energy in time, over time, the spiritual energy will remain in his body, leading to impure cultivation. This will be absolutely fatal when advancing or undergoing tribulations!"
Taotie is a ferocious beast that existed in ancient times and is one of the Four Fiends.
Some of the things it knows are absolutely exclusive.
Unfortunately, the media and entertainment industry didn't exist in this era. Otherwise, Rong Xi could have made a fortune using that.
Xiaoyaozi absorbed the spiritual energy of all things in the world for more than an hour.
During this time, the heavenly tribulation struck Xiaoyaozi twice. However, Xiaoyaozi's abilities were truly powerful, and once his flesh and blood were regenerated, the heavenly tribulation dissipated.
"Ha ha……"
"I, Xiaoyaozi, am back!"
With his strength greatly increased and having successfully transcended the tribulations twice in a row, Xiaoyaozi soared into the sky after his flesh and blood were regenerated, letting out an extremely arrogant laugh.
The resurrected Xiaoyaozi was indeed a handsome and dashing man. However, his eyes looked rather sinister, making him seem anything but a good person.
"Little girl, hand over the inheritance of the Yantian Sect's leader, and I will give you a chance to be reincarnated!"
As Rong Xi was scrutinizing Xiaoyaozi, Xiaoyaozi suddenly flew closer, staring at Rong Xi with hostility.
"What did you say?"
Rong Xi was truly taken aback by Xiaoyaozi's words.
She was Xiaoyaozi's savior, but instead of repaying his kindness, this person wanted to steal her inheritance and even planned to kill her.
"Little girl, stop pretending to be stupid with this old man!"
"Hand over the sect leader's legacy of the Yantian Sect!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind extracting your soul and slowly processing it into you!"
I've saved an ungrateful wretch!
After a moment, Rong Xi finally understood that Xiaoyaozi, whom she had rescued from the Xiaoyao Sect's prison, was indeed no good. His imprisonment in the Xuanjin Black Prison was likely for another reason.
Rong Xi glanced at Xiaoyaozi, who was laughing triumphantly at her, and coldly snorted, saying, "Old man, have you gone mad from being locked up? Do you think this era is still the era you thought it was?"
Rong Xi pointed a finger and said sternly, "Xiao Hua, bite this ungrateful bastard to death!"
Although Rong Xi had ulterior motives in rescuing the skeletal Xiaoyaozi sect leader from the beginning, she genuinely saved him no matter what.
This act of repaying kindness with ingratitude is unforgivable!
The gluttonous beast looked at Xiaoyaozi and opened its mouth to bite.
"What can a mere beast do to me, even if it is one of the four ancient ferocious beasts?"
Xiaoyaozi laughed triumphantly.
Facing the gaping maw of the Taotie, he neither dodged nor avoided it. Instead, he formed hand seals and activated his own technique, preparing to confront the Taotie head-on.
Unfortunately, Xiaoyaozi clearly overestimated himself and underestimated Taotie.
Of course, to be precise, Xiaoyaozi underestimated Rong Xi.
In Xiaoyaozi's view, what merit or ability did Rong Xi, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, possess to have Taotie become her battle pet? Therefore, Xiaoyaozi began to speculate. He believed that Taotie became Rong Xi's battle pet because Rong Xi had a powerful figure behind her. Rong Xi was able to subdue Taotie through the power of her elder.
These battle pets, which are not subdued through their own abilities, will break free from the enslavement array once their strength reaches a certain level, thus gaining true freedom.
Xiaoyaozi wanted to force Taotie to break free from the influence of the enslavement array, but he didn't know that Taotie might have been somewhat dissatisfied with Rong Xi at first. But now, Taotie felt that he had been too stupid before, and that he should have become a guardian of humanity long ago!
In that case, who knows how many delicious foods would have been eaten long ago?
Now, Xiaoyaozi is completely unaware of the truth; empiricism is a deadly thing!
He activated his Northern Darkness Mystic Art in an attempt to fight against the Taotie.
However, it was of no use.
The Northern Darkness Mystic Art is indeed wondrous, but it is still a notch below the Taotie, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts!
