Source of "It Turns Out I Was Really the Protagonist":
Li Sisui broke out in a cold sweat. This old guy was indeed no pushover. He had actually kept a trick up his sleeve in the Tongshi Pill. If he had been even slightly hasty just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable. With the cultivation of the Supreme Demon Ancestor, that strange fragrance just now was probably not simple either. Not only Leng Rushuang, but he himself might have fallen into his trap!
That was close!
Li Sisui was still shaken. He saw thunder rolling above the Supreme Demon Ancestor's head, indicating that a divine tribulation could descend at any moment. Looking at the Supreme Demon Ancestor's anxious expression, he thought there was nothing to worry about now.
Seeing Li Sisui's hesitant expression, as if he still had some reservations, the Supreme Demon Ancestor said with a mixture of urgency and anger:
"Trust me this once, will you? You want to save someone, but there's no point in saying more. Just give the person in your arms the Tongshi Pill, and we'll see the results. If this place weren't so far from my palace and I didn't have any suitable medicinal materials right now, I would have several ways to bring the person in your arms back to life. Hmph!"
Seeing the Supreme Demon Ancestor's fluctuating emotions, Li Sisui thought for a moment. If Leng Rushuang failed to turn the tide, then this old demon would never obey any of his orders. With that in mind, he gritted his teeth, grabbed the Tongshi Pill in front of him, and stuffed it into Leng Rushuang's cold lips.
Because the Tongshi Pill was quite large and Leng Rushuang was unconscious, it was initially thought that swallowing it would be a troublesome matter. However, to everyone's surprise, the moment the Tongshi Pill touched Leng Rushuang's lips, it instantly turned into a fiery red liquid, which flowed silently into Leng Rushuang's mouth, nose, and eyes. In just a few breaths, Leng Rushuang, whose skin was originally as white as snow, became rosy all over, and a visible red glow surged under her skin!
Cough cough!
Leng Rushuang suddenly awoke with a start, her eyes wide open. She saw two lines of undried tears on Li Sisui's face, his lips moving as he tilted his head back, seemingly talking to someone. Leng Rushuang's mind was filled with only one question:
"He actually cried? Was it because of me...?"
Immediately afterward, he became delirious and fell into a coma. Li Sisui noticed Leng Rushuang's unusual behavior and looked down to see her close her eyes and fall into a coma again, but her complexion was much rosier and the coldness in her body gradually disappeared.
"What...what's wrong with her?"
"It's alright! The Tongshi Pill has penetrated her limbs and bones, refining her bones and cleansing her marrow. It's like breaking down and rebuilding. Everything is just beginning. She will need a long time to wake up, depending on how fast she absorbs and refines it. But you should also realize that, in any case, at least she is alive now!"
"See? I didn't break my promise!"
The Supreme Demon Ancestor's indifferent voice rang out, resolving Li Sisui's doubts. He nodded subconsciously, then, as if remembering something, looked up and asked:
"If she stays in a coma like this, isn't she just a living dead? Aren't you just messing with me?"
"You... I spent a thousand years of effort, countless precious materials, and sacrificed a large number of my subordinates to successfully refine this heaven-defying divine pill. Is it worthless to you? Sigh, if it weren't for... sigh, as long as she could refine the Tongshi Pill, she would definitely not die. I guarantee it with my life!"
When has the supreme demon ancestor, who stands atop the Demon Mountain, ever been so humble? It's utterly ridiculous. If his mortal enemy saw him like this, one wonders what he would think. But he also had his own difficulties. After temporarily unleashing the Mind God Technique, it proved to be a technique that even he couldn't fully master. In no time, it pointed him to a clear path!
The divine tribulation above his head was fierce, and if nothing unexpected happened, this tribulation would be his death. However, according to the deduction of the Mind Sutra, the intruder from the foot of the mountain with a low cultivation level was his only chance of survival in this life-or-death crisis. Intruders into the Demon Mountain were rare, but not nonexistent...
However, he never expected that the person in front of him was someone whose fate was not yet exhausted. The most domineering aspect of the Nian Shen Jing is that it can see the fate of people related to him through the caster himself. This fate is not a number, but represents the fortune of this person's life. Ordinary cultivators have a fixed fate, rising and falling, and will eventually return to nothingness!
The person before me possesses an aura so strong that it is unprecedented in my life, truly a chosen one and my destined enemy!
Anyone connected to him will have their fate affected and become unknown, just like me now. The divine calamity that was originally expected to descend in three thousand years has suddenly appeared above my head. Ultimately, it all depends on the person in front of me!
Qi is a concept; those who follow it will benefit, while those who go against it will suffer misfortune!
With the vague direction deduced by the Nian Shen Jing, coupled with the inconceivable things before him, how could the Supreme Demon Ancestor dare to act recklessly? It was only thanks to his heaven-reaching cultivation, which could withstand the heavens and earth, and the miraculous skill of the Nian Shen Jing, that he was able to touch upon the ethereal concept of destiny!
Although the person before him was of low cultivation and insignificant, he had to be handled with caution at this moment, taking whatever he wanted without the slightest negligence. Thinking back to how he had almost killed him, he regretted his actions. Indeed, he had to digest the bitter fruit of his own actions...
"Young friend, I don't have much time left. Could you take a few steps forward and get a little closer to me?"
Huh? What kind of trouble is this old devil up to now? Does he want me to get closer so he can slap me to death?
Li Sisui asked suspiciously:
"Just say what you want to say, stop with the beating around the bush. Without basic trust, there's nothing to talk about..."
"Trust is mutual... She's already taken the Tongshi Pill. Regardless of the outcome, I've already lost a divine pill. You should at least offer something in return, right? What's wrong with taking a few more steps? If I were to truly harm you, what do you think you would do..."
Boom!
The Supreme Demon Ancestor shrank back, quickly swallowing the threatening words that followed, and continued:
"I think you are being a little too cautious. Young friend, what exactly do you require? Please just tell me, and I will do my best to fulfill your request..."
Sensing that the Supreme Demon Ancestor's aggressive attitude had softened considerably, Li Sisui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment's thought, given the strength this old demon had displayed, if he truly wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be much different from a few steps away. Saving Leng Rushuang was only the first step; figuring out how to leave this place was the most crucial thing. Now was not the time to tear off the mask of civility...
Thinking of this, Li Si silently took a dozen or so steps forward, of course, in small, quick steps...
The Supreme Demon Ancestor rolled his eyes and almost fainted, but he couldn't show it in the slightest. He was so angry, but he could only endure it. This kid was far too afraid of death. Did he think he was that fierce and terrifying...?
However, as Li Sisui took a few steps closer, the tribulation clouds above the Supreme Demon Ancestor reacted swiftly. The originally thick, lead-like black clouds began to melt away at a visible speed, and even a few strands of purple moonlight pierced through. Upon seeing this, the Supreme Demon Ancestor was overjoyed. Just as he had expected, he was no longer the Demon Ancestor; this kid was the Demon Ancestor, the ancestor...
Li Sisui also saw the changes in the tribulation clouds above his head, and was completely dumbfounded. Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly realized!
