Xie Shan was unable to pull his daughter out of the Illusion Realm, feeling quite dejected.
Afterward, he tried many other methods, but still to no avail.
Suddenly, he heard Xie Ying's call by his ear: "Father! Father!"
He looked into the distance and found Xie Ying still with Xie Lin, neither moving nor speaking.
Puzzled, he heard Xie Lin's voice by his ear again: "Father, I am outside this world, please come out first."
Xie Shan was slightly surprised, and after withdrawing, he saw the two daughters on the ground, Xie Lin still asleep, and Xie Ying already sitting up: "You... you... have already come out?"
Xie Ying gave a faint smile, showing dimples by her cheeks, while tidying her bun, calmly saying: "Lin'er and I entered different Illusion Realms. Her Illusion Realm is formed by her delusional thoughts, mine by mine. You just entered hers. My delusional thoughts are much shallower than hers, so I woke up by myself."
Xie Shan felt comforted in his heart, at least one of his two daughters is useful!
However, usually Xie Ying had a better temperament than Xie Lin, more understanding, with Daoist power stronger by a margin, so her coming out by herself was not surprising. After all, these things are merely like a thin paper window, breaking through is just a matter of One Thought Reversal.
Xie Shan said, "Then hurry up and enter your sister's Illusion Realm with me, and help me wake her up and rescue her together."
As he spoke, he asked Xie Ying to cast a spell with him, but Xie Ying did not move, continuing to neatly arrange her hair, shaking her head slowly with refusal: "It's useless, Lin'er's temperament is too poor, her obsessions too deep. The Illusion Realm she created is difficult for others to rescue her from. Like you, Father, this whole world is like a dream, a bubble shadow, like dewdrops or electricity.
How to know it isn't a huge Illusion Realm, you can't let go of everything and follow Master Tian Meng to Ascend to the Nirvana? You can't get out, and Lin'er certainly can't either. Furthermore, my Daoist power is far inferior to yours, I can only do what I just did, transmitting sound inside. Wanting to go in and save others like you is absolutely impossible."
Hearing such words from his daughter, Xie Shan's face turned red, but he refused to give up: "You transmit sound from outside to her, maybe she will realize the world inside is false."
Xie Ying gave Xie Shan a look: "Doing that would only lead her to think the sound is Demon Sound from the Demon Realm, someone invading her with Demon Path Technique! Might even deepen her resentment and obsessions, sinking her even deeper."
Xie Shan was speechless, not knowing what to do for the moment.
Xie Ying, having finished arranging her hair, leisurely dressed herself properly, then said: "Let's bring sister back to the mountain first, let her awaken slowly by herself, then we'll think of other ways."
Xie Shan felt his elder daughter's tone and demeanor were slightly off, but couldn't pinpoint exactly what, but for now, there wasn't a better plan.
Father and daughter then brought Xie Lin back to Wuyi Mountain's Thousand Stone Sail Chime Small Residence...
At this moment, the sky brightened again, with another three hundred and sixty beams of sun wheel glory rising, illuminating the entire world, every detail clear, then gathered into a large sun wheel disc at the zenith.
Shi Feiyang and Chi You had been contending for half a day, neither could overcome the other, but he used this time to take away all thirty-six black tides above.
The thirty-six Heavenly Immortal level experts were finally free, hurrying to the Great Wall front lines to help slay Zhu Rong Demon Beasts.
The battlefield increasingly favored Shi Feiyang, with Chi You's Zhu Rong giants, wizards, millions of demon beasts by sea, land, and air getting slaughtered continuously on various fronts.
The Kunlun Sect, Snow Mountain Sect, Qingcheng Sect, Huangshan Sect, Wudang Sect, Emei Sect... as well as Loose Cultivators from Central Earth Four Seas, nearly all Righteous Path Sword Immortals were summoned to engage in a decisive battle with Chi You's army. Everyone knew, if Chi You managed to breach the borders this time and ravage the Central Plains, not only would a large population be massacred, but even the entire Huaxia civilization would face annihilation.
These cultivators, tracing their roots, belonged either to The Three Pure Ones or the Three Emperors Series. Once civilization was destroyed, they'd face the mortification in front of ancestors, losing their foundation!
Thus all gave their all, fighting relentlessly from the Heavenly Mountain and Yin Mountain line to Bohai and East Sea.
Even the previously injured Golden Cicada and others, having consumed elixirs, rejoined the fray, fortunately having learned their lesson, knowing this calamity of blade and man is extraordinary, daring not recklessly to kill Chi You, instead heeding Shi Feiyang's command, strategically defending in assigned positions.
Shi Feiyang took away all the dark tides, finally dispelling the mountain pressing against the deep forest.
He rose from the Dharma Platform, ready to face Chi You head-on for a strategic counterattack.
Suddenly, a massive dark cloud flew over from the northwest sky. Seated within the cloud was an elder a hundred feet tall, known as Elder Cang Xu. Flanking him were a red child, none other than the Five Ghosts Heavenly King Shang Heyang, and a green child, being the Green Robe Ancestor. Though diminutive in height, they appeared minuscule sitting by Elder Cang Xu's feet, each emanating a significant amount of red and green light.
They swiftly flew over and hung suspended in the sky.
Elder Cang Xu loudly cursed, his voice rolling like thunder and shaking miles around: "Shi Feiyang! You evil dragon! Why slander me behind my back? You wicked beast doomed to wander for a hundred generations, you actually plan to flay me and break my bones to dust! Here I am now, let's see what skills you possess and if you can fulfill your vow!"
Shi Feiyang was taken aback upon hearing this. He quickly realized it was the two-colored demons deliberately stirring trouble due to their hatred, misleading Elder Cang Xu, whose mind wasn't functioning correctly. Influenced by Lie Baduo's will, who hated Shi Feiyang too, Elder Cang Xu had come looking for trouble.
Under normal circumstances, even though Elder Cang Xu was formidable, Shi Feiyang wouldn't fear him, but the current situation was quite tricky. Chi You possessed unusual methods, and besides Shi Feiyang, no one could hold him back. Not to mention, few could withstand the attack of the Twelve Heavenly Divine Swords, and if Chi You charged and slaughtered wantonly, even Heavenly Immortals would fall in great numbers.
Yet Elder Cang Xu's power was immense as well; aside from Shi Feiyang, few could handle him.
Shi Feiyang had anticipated the course of the battle beforehand, even calculating the state of Xuanyuan Dharma King, who hadn't recovered his full strength yet, hoping that if the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain was left vulnerable, Xuanyuan would go to attack there instead of clashing here.
Elder Cang Xu's appearance was likely a spur-of-the-moment scheme by Shang Heyang and the Green Robe Ancestor, as the elder's mind unclear, his thoughts contradictory and forgetful, often forgetting the words said just moments before, which Shi Feiyang hadn't been able to predict.
Nonetheless, although Shi Feiyang hadn't precisely forecasted Elder Cang Xu's arrival, he had prepared in advance.
Following Elder Cang Xu's appearance and loud questioning, without waiting for Shi Feiyang to respond, five waves of Shura Blood Flame suddenly flew from the Divine Sword Peak at the northwest Burmese border, faster than lightning, racing to the sky above the Qinling Mountains. Gathering together, they formed a gigantic Blood Lotus, with a hundred feet tall elder in red clothes and white hair, holding a White Jade Dust Brush, appearing atop the lotus—Elder Shi Pi.
Before this, Shi Feiyang had sent letters to Elder Shi Pi, not through Flying Sword or Spirit Talisman, but by having the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon personally deliver them.
After intercepting Divine Camel Yi Xiu at Wuxia, the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon rushed to deliver the message at the Divine Sword Peak.
Shi Feiyang had conversed extensively with Elder Shi Pi in the letter, writing over thirty thousand words. He began with their enmity formed at Little Penglai in the East Sea, moving on to the duel between Shi Sheng and him at Stone Tiger Mountain, which swayed between hostility and friendship.
Afterwards, he spoke of the karma entanglement between Master Zun Sheng and Elder Shi Pi from over two thousand years ago up to Shi Pi's future path to liberation.
Lastly, Shi Feiyang informed Elder Shi Pi that he and Master Zun Sheng had an understanding. At that time, Shi Feiyang had handed the Red Flower Witch and Bai Guanhong, cursed by Dongxuan Immortal, over to Master Zun Sheng, who accepted without refusing and did his best to handle them. Though not completely resolved, it bought Shi Feiyang enough time to accomplish many other tasks, especially freeing up the Nine Grade White Lotus which had always been guarded against the escape of Red Flower Princess.
From this, Shi Feiyang decided to aid Master Zun Sheng in resolving Elder Shi Pi's issues.
Although they had never met or communicated, not even through thought, Master Zun Sheng knew Shi Feiyang would eventually guide Elder Shi Pi onto the Righteous Path, helping him overcome future tribulations. While not entering Buddhist Orthodoxy, it fulfilled one of Master Zun Sheng's wishes, allowing him to peacefully ascend to Nirvana.
Elder Shi Pi, upon reading the letter, was both moved and joyful, moved that Master Zun Sheng hadn't abandoned him and left him a way out, joyful at the increasingly evident sign that Shi Feiyang was favored by boundless fate, established as the leader of the myriad immortals. If Shi Feiyang sincerely helped him, the future vast heavenly tribulation wouldn't be an issue!
Thus, Elder Shi Pi gladly agreed and warmly received the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon, inviting them to partake in his refined Shura Blood.
Earlier, during Shi Feiyang's duel with Chi You that overturned the heavens and earth, when the dark tides covered the sky and ground, Elder Shi Pi had been ready to act.
Shi Feiyang had agreed beforehand, asking Elder Shi Pi to disregard other matters, but to confront Elder Cang Xu should he appear.
Shi Feiyang specially warned that Elder Cang Xu was no longer what he once was, his Primordial Spirit damaged, his mind unclear, with two Demon Sect Masters who possess the Undying Body beneath him. Thus, Elder Shi Pi should not fight to the death, only entangle them until Shi Feiyang dealt with Chi You and then join to confront them together.
Yet Elder Shi Pi was inherently strong-minded, and as Elder Cang Xu was also one of the Cosmic Six Strange, the weakest among them, having suffered greatly from the West Pole Sect's torment, he felt determined to overcome Elder Cang Xu, intent on driving him away, hence flying quickly to the scene.
