In the Peach Mountain Secret Realm, the peach blossoms had bloomed and withered several times, a spectacle that typically occurred only once a year. Yet, in just two short hours, Ru Ming had witnessed this cycle repeat itself.
Each time Mi Chong Laozu expelled the Nine Nether Cold Qi from his body, the blooming peach blossoms would quickly wilt and fade. In contrast, Gu Ping's radiant light would burst forth, bringing vitality and causing the peach blossoms to flourish once more.
Yan Dong was on his seventh attempt to separate Bei Qinping from Mi Chong Laozu using Chaos Power. As he sought to infuse Mi Chong Laozu with light energy to replenish his life force, both he and Gu Ping felt a sudden jolt in their hearts as they looked up.
It seemed that the Nine Nether Person was preparing for something greater. Yan Dong pondered whether the Nine Nether Immortal's descent would allow him to restore his Golden Age strength. He wondered if it was wise to abandon the city and leave, waiting for millions of years for Tiandong City to return to its former glory. Did he truly have the final say?
Glancing at the gently flowing Low Luo River above them, Gu Ping quickly regained his focus and poured Light Spirit Power into Mi Chong Laozu, igniting the life force within him.
Ten thousand years was too long; they needed to seize every moment. Moreover, Junior had already anticipated this situation. He hoped that the person who received Junior's Jade Token would not ignore him.
"I am in Da Tian Ting Leg Segment," he thought. "Does Old Man still underestimate me? Does he not know I can summon help immediately? I fear that by now, the passage to the heavenly realm has been tightly controlled, and we may not make it in time."
"Ancestor, rest assured. That immortal will surely not come eastward," Gu Ping reassured. "We must prevent Coco from encountering any Nine Nether Great Ascension Cultivators; victory before that battle is crucial."
As the seventh attempt to expel the Nine Nether Cold Qi concluded, Gu Ping began the initial healing process. Once completed, the Chill surrounding Mi Chong Laozu would be entirely removed, and Jie Donglai would see if Cosmic Plaza could sustain them during that time.
A lively voice echoed in his heart; a fox's cry brought Gu Ping immense relief—Yoyo had returned and entered Tiandong City.
Just as Xiao Zhang's face turned pale, a long fox cry resonated throughout Cosmic Plaza. A figure resembling Xuehong appeared beside the Jade Conch, her large eyes scanning every person engaged in battle.
Where did the fox come from?
While Sima Wuduan was engaged with Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, he felt a hint of confusion. He couldn't believe that a little fox would suddenly appear next to the Jade Conch. He hadn't heard of anyone present having a Red Fox Spirit Pet. Ying Zhan had a Red Tiger spirit beast, and Bu Luo had already thrown himself into the battlefield, entangled with his Underworld Serpent. Even the Azure Wind Antelope had been caught up by Mu Qinglong's Jade Leaf Green Snake. There was no way such an unthreatening little fox could be around.
A fox?
Hearing Sima Wuduan's words, Mu Qinglong and Hong Yulong turned to look at the Red Tiger. When they noticed the grayish-blue fur on the fox's chest, their expressions changed once again. Hong Yulong burst into laughter, while Mu Qinglong's face darkened.
Although they didn't know why Gu Pingling's Red Fox had suddenly appeared next to the Jade Conch, every time they saw Gu Ping and Mu Qinglong's plans disrupted, Yan Dong couldn't help but worry about what unexpected event might occur this time.
"Si Ma Shixiong, use the Wuji Youluo Dan quickly to seize the Jade Conch! We can't afford to delay any longer."
The True Immortal was about to descend; at that moment, using the Wuji Youluo Dan would be somewhat unnecessary.
Hearing their conversation, Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, and the Night Emperor felt a tightening in their hearts. They increased their offensive power, striving not to give Sima Wuduan a chance to consume the elixir. Although they didn't know exactly what kind of elixir it was, it was certainly one that could unleash potential and elevate one's realm. Sima Wuduan was already at the Late Stage of Transformation; if he ascended another level, he would reach Divine Peak. If he broke through to the Void Return stage, there would be no need for a fight; it would take all of them combined just to contend with Sima Wuduan alone—the gap in their realms was too vast.
Just as Sima Wuduan weighed his options, Yoyo beside the Jade Conch opened her small mouth and took a deep breath aimed at the Jade Conch. Instantly, everyone felt a wave of heat wash over them as azure flames surged forth, transforming the nearly indestructible True Artifact of the World of Mortals into jade-like liquid.
At that moment, everyone halted their movements. The once noisy Cosmic Plaza fell into silence as all eyes turned toward Bu Luo's half-meter-long little fox as if it were a monster.
Yoyo casually swayed her two tails, puzzled by why those people were looking at her with such strange expressions.
A cry of terror snapped everyone back to reality. Sima Wuduan, no longer hesitating, took the opportunity to consume the Wuji Youluo Dan. In an instant, his aura surged dramatically, overwhelming Tenglan, known as Zhongshang. The three had no choice but to exert all their strength to counteract the pressure that Sima Wuduan emanated.
As Sima Wuduan charged toward her, Yoyo let out a long cry, her form transforming into a towering two meters. She collided head-on with the suddenly empowered Sima Wuduan, but ultimately, Bu Luo's strength could not withstand Dong Cheng's might and was sent flying back several dozen feet by Sima Wuduan's strike.
Seeing Yoyo engage with the eastern wind, Tenglan, known as Zhongshang, and Ying Zhan once again entangled themselves in battle with Sima Wuduan. Meanwhile, Night Emperor seized the chance to slip out of the fray, waiting for an opportunity to strike while keeping Sima Wuduan on high alert against Coco's potential ambush.
"Give it up. No matter what we do, we cannot change the outcome of Tiandong City falling into their hands. That fate has long been sealed."
Although Yan Dong and others were in dire straits against Mu Qinglong and his group, they still hoped for the arrival of the True Immortal. Everything Hong Yulong and his companions did would be rendered meaningless; in the World of Mortals, no one could withstand the power of a True Immortal. Even a Mahayana Practitioner would be nothing more than a tiny ant in the eyes of a True Immortal.
Though Mahayana Practitioners were also known as Earth Immortals, until they entered the heavenly realm and completed the transformation from Spirit to Immortal Body, they remained mere mortals—far from being a true immortal.
