Li Xiu stared at the evil spirit as it slowly moved its body, wanting to confirm whether it really saw him.

"If you want to leave, leave. If you want to stay, stay. What are you wandering around there for?" The evil spirit spoke again.

"Uh!" Li Xiu can now be sure that this guy can indeed see him.

Li Xiu had no choice but to retract the Ultimate Light and revealed his figure. When the evil spirit saw him, it had no intention of getting up and attacking him.

The demon spirit slowly stood up, but did not walk towards Li Xiu. It just circled the puddle twice, then lay down again and said weakly, "I am dying soon. I can't wait for the day when the gem seed matures. Whether you come for it or for my rotten bones, you only need to wait for a few more days, and you will get it naturally. There is no need to go through so much trouble."

"Does the demon spirit also have a lifespan limit?" Li Xiu looked at the demon spirit and did not see any signs of injury on it.

"Just as I expected, you were not sent by that person, otherwise you would have known that I was injured." The demon's voice was obviously very old: "That person should not tell anyone the secret of the gem species here. How did you know that there are gem species here?"

"I didn't know the kind of gem you mentioned was here. I came here for you." Li Xiu said.

"Then how do you recognize the gem species?" the evil spirit asked. It was obvious that it had already known Li Xiu when he observed the plant before.

"If you hadn't told me this was a gemstone, I wouldn't be sure. I've only seen gemstones in other places, but they're a little different from this one." Li Xiu said truthfully.

The demon spirit was slightly startled, narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Xiu and asked: "Where did you see this gemstone, and how is it different?"

Li Xiu described the appearance of the gemstones from the Great King, but did not say where he saw them.

"Five-colored gem seeds... Could it be that... King Gai Shi really brought the gem seeds to the human world, and the gem seeds can actually be grown and survived in the human world?" The demon spirit said immediately after hearing this.

"Do you know the Peerless King?" Li Xiu immediately realized that his previous guess was correct. This evil spirit looked so similar to the Peerless King, and they both guarded the same gem seed. It was definitely not a coincidence.

"How could I not recognize it? Apart from our spirit-suppressing beast clan, who else can grow this gem seed?" said the demon spirit proudly.

"The Great King is of the same clan as you?" Li Xiu was a little surprised.

Although they do look somewhat similar, their attributes and abilities are obviously different, and their body shapes are also very different. I didn't expect that they are actually of the same species.

“We are not of the same race, but we are both spirit-suppressing beasts.” The demon spirit sighed and said, “Back then, King Gai Shi and Chang Sheng Tian and I were born because the spirit-suppressing stone was shattered. King Gai Shi got five pieces of the spirit-suppressing stone, I only got one, and Chang Sheng Tian got three…”

"Who is Changshengtian?" Li Xiu heard what the evil spirits meant. Changshengtian was also an evil spirit like them, but the name was too coincidental. How could it be exactly the same as the Changshengtian organization established by the president?

"You may not have heard of the name Changshengtian, but you must have heard of Changshengdao, right?" The demon spirit thought for a while and said.

"Could Changshengtian be the real owner of Changsheng Island?" Li Xiu suddenly thought of something.

Li Xiu remembered that Li Ming'er said that her mother was the real owner of Changsheng Island. Could it be that her mother was Changshengtian?

But after thinking about it, Li Xiu felt that it seemed unlikely. Although the Great King and this evil spirit were somewhat different, they both looked like Qilin.

Changshengtian, like them, is a member of the Yinzhen spirit beast clan, and his original form should also be in the form of a Qilin.

Thinking about how the president and a demon spirit that looked like a unicorn gave birth to Li Ming'er, it was really hard to imagine how they did it.

"Yes, after the Soul-Suppressing Stone was shattered, the Soul-Suppressing Palace was divided into three parts, which became the three forbidden areas of the Demonic Kingdom. The three of us also guarded one area each. The Great King was in the Sea of ​​Heaven, the Eternal Life Heaven was in the Eternal Life Island, and I was in the Bottomless Pit."

Li Xiu finally knew the true origin of the three forbidden areas. It turned out that the three forbidden areas came from the same source.

"Then why did the Zhenling Stone and Zhenling Palace split up?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly.

"Because the sky is cracked..." The demon spirit suddenly started coughing violently.

"The sky is cracked?" Li Xiu couldn't help but continue asking after it calmed down a little. He really didn't understand what "the sky is cracked" meant.

"The Soul-Suppressing Palace is the core of the Demonic Kingdom. You can think of the Soul-Suppressing Stone as the world tree of the Demonic Kingdom. If the Demonic Kingdom is destroyed, the Soul-Suppressing Stone will also be damaged. One day, the sky of the Demonic Kingdom cracked... The crack spanned the entire void, and billowing purple air fell from the sky, almost dyeing the entire void purple... The whole world was affected, the Soul-Suppressing Stone shattered, and the Soul-Suppressing Palace was also divided into three..."

Li Xiu originally just listened to it as a story, thinking it had nothing to do with him, but after hearing the last sentence, Li Xiu's face turned a little ugly.

"In that sky mark... a human walked out..." After the demon spirit said this, he started coughing violently again.

When Li Xiu heard what Mo Ling said, the first thing he thought of was his sister Han Ling'er. But after thinking about it carefully, he immediately knew that Mo Ling was not talking about Han Ling'er.

When Han Linger came, she went directly to the Earth, not the Demon Kingdom. Moreover, when she came, the three forbidden areas had already existed for many years, so the time didn't match.

"The person who walked out of the crack in the sky...could he be the person you were talking about?" Li Xiu immediately thought of someone.

"Yes, it's him." The demon spirit nodded.

"What's his name and what does he look like?" Li Xiu asked hurriedly, his face changing from gloomy to bright.

The person he thought of was naturally the president. In addition, Guan Jinghao had said before that the president was not human. If the person the evil spirit was talking about was really the president, then everything made sense.

"I don't know his name, nor do I know what he looks like, because when I saw him again, he looked different from when he came out of the Scar of the Sky... ahem... but I can smell his scent... In this world... no living being can escape my nose..."

Li Xiu finally understood how the evil spirit discovered him. It turned out that it did not see him, but smelled his scent.

Li Xiu also knew that the aura that the evil spirit was talking about was probably not as simple as smell.

He has no smell when he is in the invisible state of Ultimate Light.

“After the Soul-Suppressing Palace split, King Gai Shi, Chang Sheng Tian and I were all trying to find a way to revive the Soul-Suppressing Stone. We used the method of cultivating souls to transform the fragments of the Soul-Suppressing Stone into gemstone seeds. As long as the gemstone seeds blossom and bear fruit, we will be able to regain the power to suppress souls and restore the Demonic Spirit Kingdom to its original state… Unfortunately, the Soul-Suppressing Stone itself is the root of this world. It is too difficult to make the gemstone seeds blossom and bear fruit and breed Soul-Suppressing Stone again… ahem… Chang Sheng Tian has been staying in Changsheng Island to cultivate gemstone seeds, while I have traveled all over the Demonic Spirit Kingdom, looking for a place where gemstone seeds might blossom and bear fruit. King Gai Shi took a different approach and wanted to plant gemstone seeds in the human world. We originally thought it was a fantasy, but we didn’t expect it to actually grow the gemstone seeds… ahem…”

"Human, if you want to get the gem seeds, you need to do as I say and use some means to ripen them, and take the mature gem seeds away before that person arrives..." The demon spirit said while coughing. Its cough was so severe that it seemed like it would cough out its lungs at any time.

"Since you don't want to give the gem to him, why are you willing to give it to me?" This happiness came too suddenly, making Li Xiu have to doubt it.

"Do I still have a choice? I'm almost dead." The demon spirit calmed down a little, and the coughing was not so severe, and then he continued: "And you are different from him. Although you are also human, you belong to this world, and he does not. I don't have so many choices. Compared to him, I hope you can take the gem seed."

"Do you know where he came from?" Li Xiu didn't expect that a demon he picked at random would accidentally get this huge secret.

"I don't know. I don't think anyone knows." The demon spirit resisted the urge to cough and continued, "I don't have much time. You must make a decision as soon as possible, whether to take the gemstones with you or not."

"What should I do?" Li Xiu asked thoughtfully.

“After I die, you throw my body and the magic core into the pool. I was born from the Soul-Suppressing Stone, and I am of the same origin as this gem seed. Using my energy to nourish the gem seed can make it mature ahead of time. But that’s not enough. You still need to find a way to get two things so that the gem seed can mature quickly enough… ahem… you must first go to the Sea of ​​Heaven and find the endless water of the Sea of ​​Heaven, and then go to the Island of Immortality and get a piece of Immortality Meat. Put these two things into the pool, and the gem seed will mature in a very short time… ahem… once the gem seed matures… you will take it away immediately… hide in a place where no one can find you… if you want, you can absorb the gem seed for your own use… then you are the gem seed… the gem seed is you… and no one can take it away from you… ahem… if you are lucky enough to get the other two gem seeds… and absorb them as well… then you will have the power equivalent to the Soul-Suppressing Stone…”

"Have you ever thought about a question?" Li Xiu suddenly said after it finished speaking.

"What's the problem?" asked the demon spirit.

"You were injured by that man. How serious your injury is and when you will die, doesn't he know?" Li Xiu said slowly.

The demon's face changed slightly, and he hesitated, "I have thought about this before, but it should be unlikely. After all, he is not a creature from this world. I once fought with him and could feel that his power was repelled by the power of this world, and his sensitivity to this world is not that sensitive."

Li Xiu thought it made sense, but he still felt a little uneasy.

Because it was such a coincidence that he came here when the demon spirit was about to die. He was now a little unsure whether he had chosen this demon spirit by accident or the president had designed him to come here.

Among hundreds of gods and demons, he chose this place. Is this really just a coincidence?

It was just a question that the demon spirit probably had no answer for no matter how many times he asked. Li Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Since Changsheng Island, the Sea of ​​Heaven, and the Bottomless Pit all came from the same source, I heard that Changsheng Island, the Sea of ​​Heaven, and the Bottomless Pit all have real gods. Did you know about this?"

“You are probably talking about the four spirits that were originally suppressed by the Soul-Suppressing Stone? After the Soul-Suppressing Stone was shattered, the four spirits broke free. Three of them occupied the broken Zhentian Palace, which is now the Changsheng Island, the Bottomless Cave and the Sea of ​​Heaven. The other spirit disappeared and there has been no news of him since then.” said the evil spirit.

"I would have told you even if you hadn't asked me. I'm going to the Sea of ​​Heaven to get the Endless Water and to the Island of Immortality to get the Immortality Meat. I have to deal with them. I have a way to help you get these two things from them smoothly."

"What can we do?" Li Xiu thought to himself, "That fellow, the Great King, seems honest, but he is actually treacherous. He actually concealed so many things."

"Only you know this method, otherwise there will be a disaster." The voice of the evil spirit sounded in Li Xiu's mind.

Li Xiu had been silently memorizing what the demon spirit said until the voice in his mind disappeared. The demon spirit asked him if he remembered it, and Li Xiu nodded.

“I also know that this is a big gamble, but I have no chips left. Even if this only chip is sent to me by someone intentionally, I have no choice but to bet on this last one.” The demon spirit slowly stood up and walked out of the cave, looking at the stone forest under the setting sun, with complex emotions revealed in his glass-like eyes.

There is resentment and resentment, but also some relief.

"Human, what is your name?" After a long time, the demon spirit slowly turned around and asked Li Xiu.

"Li Xiu." Li Xiu stood by and waited silently, then answered when he heard this.

"King Gai Shi and Chang Sheng Tian both gave themselves names, but I have never had a name. Now I also want to have a name. Can you help me choose a name?" The evil spirit looked at Li Xiu and said.

"The sunset is so beautiful, but it's almost dusk. How about you call it dusk?" Li Xiu said as he looked at the red sunset glow in the sky.

"This name... isn't it a bit unlucky..." said the demon spirit, turning his head to look at the red glow in the sky.

"Dusk means the end, but it also means the coming of tomorrow, and it is the prelude to a new life," said Li Xiu.

"A new student? Very good. Then I will be called Huanghun." After saying this, the demon spirit looked at the sunset and remained silent for a long time.

Li Xiu waited until the red glow disappeared and the sky turned dark. Dusk was still moving. He couldn't help but call out to Dusk a few times, but Dusk still didn't respond. When Li Xiu walked in front of it, he saw that Dusk had no breath left and died just standing there.

"Sorry." Li Xiu picked up its body with both hands, brought it back into the cave, and slowly put it into the puddle.

As Huanghun's body fell into the puddle, its body, which was originally as hard as limestone, gradually began to glow fluorescently.

Strands of fluorescent light flowed toward the gemstone, and after being absorbed by the gemstone, the fluorescence on the gemstone gradually became brighter.

The rice-sized gems on the petals and in the center of the flower gradually became more and more brilliant.

“What a pity! This guy should be a top-level existence among the gods. The probability of him dropping a god-level gem is not low. Maybe even a ring or something.” Li Xiu glanced at the corpse of the demon spirit that had disappeared under the water, turned around and left the cave.

Before, he was worried that this gem would be swallowed by other ignorant demons. Now that he knew its true origin, he realized that not everyone can swallow it, so there is no need to guard it.

"It seems that I have to go to Tianhai." It was not until this time that Li Xiu made up his mind to go to Tianhai.

Now that he had made the decision, Li Xiu no longer wasted time and planned to go to the Flame River where the Great Demon King Burning Sky was.

The Flame River is near the Flame Mountain, but Li Xiu had heard of the Flame Mountain before, but had never heard of the Flame River.

It was only after reading the information given by the president that I learned that there is such a river of fire under the Flame Mountain, and the mutated god-level demon spirit, the Great Demon King Fentian, is in that river of fire.

Li Xiu, who had read the information about the Great Demon King Fentian, called A Fei over before leaving.

With Li Xiu's help in growing light and plenty of resources, plus Ah Fei's own magical skill of giving up, she has now reached the peak of the light base and is only half a step away from forging a spirit.

"In that case, you forge a spirit first, and then come with me to the Trial Gate. There's something only you can do." Li Xiu found a spirit-forging bead and handed it to A Fei. As A Fei also had a forbidden natal contract, Li Xiu knew what A Fei needed.

"Okay." Ah Fei didn't hesitate to take the Soul-Casting Pearl and prepared to go back to his room.

"Just stay here with me. If there is any problem, I can help you." Li Xiu called out to the Fei.

He knew that it was not easy for the forbidden natal contract to condense the soul. He was able to advance to the soul casting safely because of the super bottle absorption and the ultimate light. It might not be that easy for Ah Fei.

Fortunately, Li Xiu now has enough resources, so he is not afraid of any problems.

Ah Fei nodded, swallowed the Casting Spirit Pearl in Li Xiu's room, and then began to practice the Light Planting Technique.

Half a day later, Ah Fei and Li Xiu left Yard No. 7 together and headed for Flaming Mountain.

Ah Fei got an admission ticket at random during the trial and was given a Huo Yi Huan Hua skirt, which looked sparkling red and very festive.

One of them had colorful light flowing on his body, and the other had sparkling fire on his body, and they were very eye-catching wherever they went.

Fortunately, there are usually very few trial-takers coming to the Flame Mountain, and they didn't encounter anyone.

Although the name of the Flaming Mountain sounds scary, it really has nothing to do with fire. On the dark mountain, there is not even a branch or leaf that can burn, let alone a flame.

The temperature here is not high, but it is cloudy and rainy. Most people might feel a little chilly here.

According to the information, Li Xiu found a cave entrance halfway up the Flaming Mountain. After entering the cave, there were caves one after another. The cave was interconnected and most people would probably get lost just by looking at the map.

Fortunately, Li Xiu's memory and sense of direction were unparalleled, so he successfully arrived at the Flame River inside the Flame Mountain.

The so-called River of Fire is an underground magma river. The boiling golden-red magma flows slowly in the deep trench, and the heat emitted makes the air nearby become a little scorching.
