After Jin Xunu transformed and completely took on human form, when the two elders of Song Mountain took him into the Lianshan Treasure Vault on Moon Island, they used Flying Swords and Magical Treasures to blast apart the stone warriors.

Later, these things reconnected and healed on their own. When they came into Shi Feiyang's hands, he cast a spell to refine them again. Since their means of attack were limited, once they left the protection of the vault's Array, it was possible that the enemy, if they could figure out their weaknesses, could bypass the Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light's Mars and directly attack their Lifebound Embryo.

Therefore, he had the two stone warriors perform a Sword technique with their left hands, which appeared to be the same Sword technique that Sword Immortals used for Sword Control, but in reality, the Stone Swords in the stone warriors' hands would not fly out. The technique they performed was actually one for manipulating the Five Elements Essence Qi, secretly embedding a spell within.

When Xin Chenzi's Yin Soul Poison Fire Bomb struck, it just hit its target. The stone warrior's body suddenly burst forth with a five-colored brilliance. The Poison Fire Bomb hit the brilliance and immediately exploded into a big cluster of green Ghost Fire, engulfing the stone warrior.

However, the fire bomb couldn't shatter the protective brilliance, staying several inches away from the stone warrior's true body at all times. The five-colored brilliance scattered while spinning, diffusing the green fire into a sky full of fire stars.

Upon seeing this, Xin Chenzi fired four more Poison Fire Bombs in quick succession and then unleashed his own Flying Sword. At the same time, he cast the Devil's Net spell and enveloped the stone warrior with it.

Shi Feiyang, inside the cave, saw that Bai Guanhong's confrontation with the Demon Tribulation had reached a critical moment. The stone warriors were in danger of being damaged while fiercely battling Xin Chenzi outside, and over time, they could be destroyed.

He took out the Yu Ding and commanded it to fly to the mouth of the cave. The Ding Cover lifted, revealing a string of various monstrous creatures emerging one after another.

Inside the ding, there weren't only the fierce beasts that Yu the Great had slain in ancient times, but also many extremely ferocious monsters that Shi Feiyang had killed on the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, each with a Dao Level of at least five thousand years, all following behind the leader of ten thousand monsters, the "Elephant Dragon," streaming out in succession.

They started out very small, but rapidly increased in size after flying out of the cave.

The Elephant Dragon, with the head of a wolf, trunk of an elephant, eyes of a dragon, and beak of an eagle, spread its wings, reaching over a hundred zhang wide. Its fangs, at least fifty to sixty zhang long, surrounded by other fierce beasts, covered the sky in an instant, bringing dark clouds and thunder, staring down with eyes of various sizes.

The people from Bai Man Mountain were dumbstruck, having never seen anything like this before. They felt as though a catastrophe was upon them, as if all monsters were going to bring about the end of the world. A few with lower Dao Levels couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding and bodies trembling in fear!

The Elephant Dragon lifted its trunk and let out a sound that was part elephant, part whale, then opened its mouth and spewed out flames like cannonballs. Next came a hundred zhang-wall of fiery blaze, which poured down wildly like the opening of the Heavenly River. The other Demon Beasts also followed, breathing fire and water, conjuring wind and spitting thunder, crashing down with a cacophony.

"Good heavens..." Those disciples from Bai Man Mountain didn't even have the will to resist. Each one performed a spell and shook a banner or cast a Talisman, turning into streaks of green light as they fled low to the ground, scattering in all directions like birds and beasts.

Xin Chenzi was a vicious sort, and even upon witnessing this spectacle, he thought of fighting back with the power of his Demon Spring Banner. But just as he shook the banner to invoke earth, water, fire, and wind, the Great Demons turned their focus to him and unleashed a concentrated attack. The hundred or so white water dragons created by the Demon Spring Banner, along with the Fiery Fire Earth Evil and others that flew into the sky, barely engaged in combat before they were routed, and only then did he realize the severity of the situation.

He dared not continue the fight and, cursing under his breath, he hastily performed Human Sword Unity, turning into a streak of Green Light and flying away.

The Yu Ding was an ancient treasure. Although it had been challenging to use against Elder Kuzhu, it was now overkill against Xin Chenzi and his followers, who could not withstand a single strike.

Shi Feiyang cast a spell to recall all the Demon Beasts back into the ding, and they issued whimpering calls.

Originally, Yu the Great had completely imprisoned these Demon Beasts, each without even a hint of consciousness, expressionless when released, resembling marionettes, which resulted in the least power. The advantage was they lacked any thought of resistance.

When Shi Feiyang later performed Sacrificial Refinement, he reduced the prohibition to seventy percent. Once released, the group of Demons could regain some of their own cognitive abilities. Since they now had their own thoughts, they naturally didn't want to return to the ding and pleaded with Shi Feiyang to stay outside.

Shi Feiyang said, "If you all follow me obediently, accumulate merits and virtues, when the time comes for you to achieve the Dao, I will rebuild your bodies and grant you freedom. But for now, do not be unruly."

Hearing that there was hope of regaining their freedom in the future, the group of Demons proudly nodded their heads, emitting joyful and grateful cries. Then they followed the Elephant Dragon back into the ding.

After Xin Chenzi and his group left, Shi Feiyang worried that the Green Robe Ancestor might follow and come to kill him. He hastily cast a divination, which indicated that the Green Robe Ancestor would not come.

Two days passed, and Bai Guanhong's bones had hardened, marrow condensed, and a new body had formed. He woke up from his coma.

The ugly skin on the outside was now just a thin layer, flimsy like paper. With a gentle tear from the inside, it split in half with a rustling sound, and out crawled a beautiful young boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, pure and fair.

Long hair draped over the shoulders, a clear gaze, red lips, and white teeth—it was the most handsome human form he could picture forming within his mind. Rising from the tattered cocoon, he first inspected his limbs and, extremely satisfied with his reborn body, turned to bow in gratitude to Shi Feiyang standing behind the Dharma Platform, "Thank you, Dragon King, for fulfilling this grace! I have finally cultivated into a human!"

Shi Feiyang fetched a set of clothes for him and felt gratified, much like watching his own child grow up and mature, "Your physical foundation is quite remarkable, and there was no demonic interference at your birth. As long as you diligently practice cultivation without straying from the path, your future achievements will be boundless!"

Bai Guanhong was overjoyed. As he dressed, he moved his body, twisting and turning, flexing each joint with a mouth that couldn't stop smiling.

Once his mood had settled a bit, he bent down to pick up the pieces of his shed skin, "This 'silkworm cocoon' might be ugly, but it's a rare treasure in the world, extremely valuable in medicine, and it has many other wondrous uses."

Shi Feiyang smiled and nodded, "Indeed, it has other wondrous uses."

All this time, the Ganoderma Immortal had been hopping around in Shi Feiyang's embrace, having witnessed his transformation from an extremely ugly silkworm spirit into a human, and found it utterly fascinating. Now, clutching Shi Feiyang's neck, it chirped and gestured that it wished to do the same. Although it had cultivated a human form, its essence was still that of a plant, devoid of internal organs and a skeletal structure. It yearned to cultivate a true flesh and blood body.

Shi Feiyang caressed its little head, "Practice diligently the cultivation technique I taught you. Once you cultivate your Lifebound Embryo, I will also help you obtain a true human body."

The Ganoderma Immortal then turned back to gaze at Bai Guanhong, eyes filled with envy.

Shi Feiyang put away the Yu Ding and called in the Beauty Serpent and the Single-horned Divine Lin to meet with Bai Guanhong, both of whom were extremely envious.

The Beauty Serpent, with a human head and snake body, wasn't like that due to cultivation; she was born of that species. Initially not conforming to human aesthetic standards and quite ugly, she became more like a beauty of the human world after cultivation.

She fantasized that if she could cultivate into a true human beauty, she wouldn't have to hide behind rocks and beckon anymore. For instance, if she saw a Sword Immortal flying through the sky, she could openly wave and call him down, then deceive and consume him.

To celebrate Bai Guanhong's rebirth, Shi Feiyang took out many Immortal Fruits and fine wines, holding a banquet right outside the cave.

A dragon, a silkworm, a snake, a ganoderma, and a lin—five mystical beings—feasted on Immortal Fruits and drank heartily under the sun and moon.

Shi Feiyang asked Bai Guanhong, "You said you'd follow me, but for now, I'm not planning to return to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain. If there's anything else you need to do, go ahead and do it. We can travel together when it's time for me to return."

Bai Guanhong replied, "I do have one matter. Some time ago, I had just escaped from Bai Man Mountain, running through the vast mountains for my life, driven to desperation by Xin Chenzi and his group. I stumbled into a Guardian Immortal Formation in a place called 'Xianxia Ridge' by accident, and unexpectedly, it did not trigger. I walked straight into the courtyard.

The master of that place, a very beautiful female immortal, repelled Xin Chenzi and his group and rescued me. I saw it was safe and wished to serve as a gatekeeper at her mountain abode, but she said that she would face certain tribulation in the future and that it would be difficult for her to overcome it with her own strength. Although she had a strong ally, she was reluctant to seek help.

She told me that if I headed north from Xianxia Ridge, I would soon find a savior who would help me transform and be reborn, and after I cultivated a human form, to return to Xianxia Ridge to help her overcome that tribulation. Now it seems that my savior happens to be you."

"Female immortal, Xianxia Ridge," Shi Feiyang silently calculated a divination, determining from the pattern that the female immortal was formidable, with over a thousand years of cultivation. Her name related to flowers, but he couldn't immediately guess who she was. However, the divination suggested that assisting her would be of great benefit to his future.

"Given that, I have no urgent matters at hand, so let's go have a look."

The next day, they set off toward the south.

Not long after they had left, the ground inside the mountain cave suddenly cracked open, spewing forth a mass of green flames. From within the fire emerged a creature, not even three feet tall, with a large head and small body, hair and beard tangled together, a pair of green eyes shining chaotically, and bony, sharp fingers like bird claws.

This being was the Sect Hierarch of the southern Demon Cult, Green Robe Ancestor, holding a disciple, his five bird-claw-like fingers digging into the flesh and bone of the disciple's shoulder.

After emerging from the ground, the Green Robe Ancestor looked around, sniffing the air sharply, and demanded in a harsh tone, "Where are those beautiful serpents and fierce beasts that you spoke of?"

His disciple, sweating profusely from pain, replied with difficulty, "Previously, they were right here. We couldn't enter the cave, unaware of what lay inside; we only saw a Single-horned Divine Lin and a Beauty Serpent that had already achieved a significant level of cultivation outside."

The Green Robe Ancestor dragged the disciple around the cave, examining the traces closely, "Has that youngster really completed his transformation into a human? So quickly! Hmm, there's the scent of Ganoderma in the air; a good one at that. This scent... it must be from a ganoderma that's been cultivating for nearly ten thousand years. Did that youngster consume a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma to undergo a total transformation, becoming human? But what's the deal with those fierce beasts and great demons?"

Unable to deduce the situation at hand, the Green Robe Ancestor was certain of one thing: Bai Guanhong had consumed a ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma. If he could capture him and bring him back to Bai Man Mountain, whether to mate him with various Gu mothers to breed offspring or to throw him directly into the Pill Furnace to refine an Immortal Pill, it was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!
