Chen Xu attempted to communicate with Wei Yuan.

Initially, within a thirty-mile range, the telepathic communication between them was very clear.

Chen Xu, holding the main diagram of the dragon bone waterwheel in his hand, took a step in a certain direction, guided by a peculiar feeling in his heart, and crossed over thirty miles by traversing through the Netherworld.

Thus, he once again used the Jade Leaf Knot summoning technique in his mind to communicate with Wei Yuan, but the little hedgehog's voice began to sound distant and indistinct:

"Brother Chen, I'm here. I'm still on the ship..."

Although somewhat fuzzy, it was still discernible.

This shows that although the maximum range of the Jade Leaf Knot summoning technique is three hundred miles, in reality, at the three hundred mile limit, it becomes very difficult for both parties to have a concrete conversation.

But as long as it can accurately convey a sense of crisis, indicating whether one wishes to "summon the other" or wants to "be summoned by the other"—

The value of the Jade Leaf Knot summoning technique remains intact.

Chen Xu responded to Wei Yuan: "I need to keep moving a bit further, don't worry, Ah Yuan, wait on the ship with peace of mind."

Wei Yuan said: "I'm not worried, Brother Chen, rest assured..."

The little hedgehog's voice was distant yet proper, which to Chen Xu sounded particularly strange.

He smiled slightly, wasted no time, and immediately traversed through the Netherworld once again.

Now Chen Xu could traverse through the Netherworld five times a day, and upon the third time returning to the Mortal World, Chen Xu suddenly realized he was back where he first encountered the Shimmering Star Water Monarch!

An endless expanse of water lay before him.

At first glance, every glimmer of water seemed similar, making it extremely difficult to determine the exact location.

But Chen Xu was equipped with many observational techniques, and at a glance, he could detect that the aura here was unusual.

And upon reaching this location, the main diagram of the dragon bone waterwheel in Chen Xu's hand began to hum and vibrate once again.

The sound of water rustling wonderfully echoed from the drawing, as if a dragon bone were truly about to soar from the page!

Chen Xu employed the Spirit Manipulation Technique, his Divine Thought spreading in the moonlight, and with this odd sensation, he immediately selected another direction.

This time he didn't traverse through the Netherworld again, but instead relied solely on the Wind Summoning Technique, and with Wind Control, proceeded in the predetermined direction at great speed.

Under the moonlight, his sleeves billowed in the wind.

Beneath his feet, the vast silver waves shimmered, with a gentle breeze accompanying his back.

Anyone witnessing his silhouette from afar might have suspected they were seeing an Immortal wandering under the moonlight.

Thirty miles away, Glazed Island.

The life-and-death battle between Chi Jie and the Shimmering Star Water Monarch continued.

Both parties had exerted all their effort, with the Shimmering Star Water Monarch using only its massive demon body and immense demonic power to cause Chi Jie's meridians to rupture several times, covering him in blood, almost turning him into a bloodied figure.

However, Chi Jie had seized the initiative from the start and possessed endless bizarre methods coupled with fierce determination.

There wasn't an inch of intact skin left on his body; his entire flesh was battered and bloody, with his facial features distorted beyond recognition.

Yet, the strange power within him surged at an incredible rate.

The more he suffered, the more he laughed: "Shimmering Star Water Monarch? A mere little snake, do you know what kind of technique this young master practices?

Let me enlighten you, this technique is called the Thousand Variations, My Heart of Resentment Technique.

Resentment, the greater the resentment, the stronger my power, the more pain I suffer, the quicker I draw upon your bloodline and fate, and the more injured I get, the deeper the connection between us becomes.

You cannot escape me; before you kill me, you will surely die first, hahaha!"

The Shimmering Star Water Monarch roared in righteous indignation: "You scoundrel, practicing such an Evil Technique, you are doomed not to last."

Chi Jie laughed heartily: "What if I don't last long? As long as I devour you today, even if I only get to enjoy a hundred days of glory, it's worth it!"

"You're insane!" The Shimmering Star Water Monarch screamed in anger, ultimately regaining its composure and attempted to persuade, "You know well, if you truly forcefully refine me, you will be fortunate to last a hundred days afterward.

No, not even a hundred days; you won't even survive that long.

So doomed to a dead-end, why must you press yourself in this way?

We don't have any deep hatred; why don't we just call it quits here? You let me go, and I'll return the favor. What do you say?"

"Nothing to say." Chi Jie snorted with a cold laugh, "Don't think you can play me for a fool, Water Monarch. If I let you go today, once you recover, will you really be willing to let bygones be bygones?

Heh, absolutely impossible!

If you turn back and regret, with no advantage from today's attack, without the Thousand Variations, My Heart of Resentment Technique, how could I possibly stand a chance against you?"

So, he was well aware that today he succeeded mainly because of the Shimmering Star Water Monarch's carelessness, which allowed for a successful sneak attack.

If it came down to true cultivation, even ten Chi Jies together wouldn't have matched the Shimmering Star Water Monarch.

But Evil Techniques rely on the element of surprise.

Chi Jie's ability to launch a successful sneak attack through deceitful means was a skill in itself.

The Shimmering Star Water Monarch was filled with hatred, but could only persuade with a bitter mouth: "Mr. Chi, not to hide from you, I have arduously cultivated for centuries to reach today's level. It hasn't been easy, so why would I want to die easily?

If there is a way to keep my life, what hatred cannot be let go of in this world?

We demons are different from you humans.

If you truly refuse to trust me, I am willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

If you spare me today, and I seek revenge in the future, I will be struck by the tribulation of thunder.

What do you think?"

No sooner had he spoken than a muffled thunder resounded between the clear moonlight and the sky.

This was a response from the Heavenly Dao!

Evidently, the Shimmering Star Water Monarch's statement about swearing an oath to the Heavenly Dao was not false in the least.

Faced with such sincerity from the Shimmering Star Water Monarch, Chi Jie couldn't help but be somewhat moved.

If he could live well, even madness like his wouldn't truly wish for mutual destruction with the Shimmering Star Water Monarch.

He said, "You are truly willing to swear?"

The Shimmering Star Water Monarch immediately said, "I swear willingly, let the heavens bear witness; I, Bai Cang the Little Demon, and the human Chi Jie before me mutually pledge an oath.

If he is willing to resolve our enmity today and spare my life, I will certainly avoid him in the future.

All acts of revenge and pursuit shall not occur.

If I violate this oath, I, Bai Cang the Little Demon, am willing to face the punishment of Heavenly Thunder!"

He made the oath without any hesitation.

This time, the thunder rolled in the sky like war drums, hammering loudly.

In the next moment, it seemed as though a heavy rain was about to fall from the heavens.

Chi Jie shouted: "Good! In that case, this young master will set you on your way... before his words were finished, he"
