"Ruyan, let's bury these bodies!" Lu Fan looked ahead, seeing what seemed to be many more corpses. Although these bodies were not decaying, they shouldn't be left exposed to the sun.
The dead should rest in peace.
"Yes! Our cultivation seems to be improving very quickly here. Why don't we stay a few more days?" Ling'er said from beside him.
"Alright then!" Liu Ruyan had no choice but to nod.
Thus, the group began burying the bodies. In one night, they buried several hundred more. They also found some treasures. The next day, as the sun rose, the Hongmeng Qi was once again released from the trees, and the group resumed their cultivation.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lu Fan took out the Spirit Gathering Bottle with a thought. When he left, he had given all the spiritual liquid to Wang Yan to care for Yuan Feng. He wondered if this Spirit Gathering Bottle could condense this Hongmeng Purple Qi.
*Whoosh...* Streams of Hongmeng Purple Qi, like a surging flood, converged towards Lu Fan from all directions. Some were absorbed by Lu Fan, and some by the Spirit Gathering Bottle.
*Bang...* The Spirit Gathering Bottle suddenly let out a muffled sound and expanded several times over. It was now like a large vat.
The few girls kept their distance from Lu Fan, as they could barely get any Hongmeng Purple Qi when he was nearby. He absorbed it all.
Several days later. *Roar...!* A beastly roar erupted, and Ling'er suddenly revealed her true form – a snow-white fox several zhang long. And before their eyes, she grew nine tails!
"She's actually a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox." Lu Fan was secretly astonished. It was said that the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox was the fourth spirit beast born after the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin! Their strength was not weaker than the former. So, this little fox was a Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, and she had been following Liu Ruyan, recognizing her as her Snow Mistress...
"Snow Mistress! I... I've found myself again." Ling'er, having transformed into human form, said joyfully as she approached Liu Ruyan.
"That's wonderful! No one will dare bully Ling'er anymore." Liu Ruyan said happily, looking at Ling'er.
*Bang...!* Suddenly, a black mist surged upwards, and *whoosh...* Zhan Tai Ruo Mei's figure shot into the sky. *Bang bang bang...* Several black mists were unleashed, obscuring the sun and sky.
*Bang...* Zhan Tai Ruo Mei landed on the ground, and the entire earth trembled.
"Ruo Mei! You've finally been completely awakened? Do you remember who I am?" Lu Fan's heart leaped with joy as he asked.
"Master... it's Master! Master's name was never mentioned; we only knew Master, but not Master's name," Zhan Tai Ruo Mei said respectfully, standing before Lu Fan.
"Oh my god! Jingjing! What about you?" Lu Fan glanced at Li Jingjing and asked.
"Master! I also haven't heard Master mention his name!" Li Jingjing said quickly.
"Xiao Fan! Isn't it good enough for you to just be Lu Fan? Why do you have to know who you are?" Liu Ruyan suddenly said from the side.
"Alright! Let's leave!" Lu Fan said, shaking his head slightly, clearly disappointed.
...
In Kunlun Mountain, on Qilin Cliff, within the Soul Locking Purgatory, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons showed a hint of joy. What Lu Fan said was true; he could feel the power of the Soul Locking Array gradually diminishing. Coupled with the power of the immortal herbs left by Lu Fan, their souls were also slowly recovering.
In Dragon Spring Cave, the Ancestral Dragon's massive body appeared within the stone wall. Gazing at the cave entrance outside, he fell into deep thought. The seal on the stone wall had indeed loosened, but should he go out?
"Ancestral Dragon! I've come to see you again." Suddenly, a voice called out, and Lu Fan and the others entered from the cave entrance.
"You are not the First Qilin!" The Ancestral Dragon stared intently at Lu Fan. Although it was the same person, he was no longer the First Qilin.
"Of course not, because the First Qilin is in Biyou Palace! Fighting against the people of Primordial Heavenly Venerate. Do you want to join the fun?" Lu Fan said with a slight smile.
"Hmph! Kid! Are you trying to trick me?" The Ancestral Dragon snorted coldly.
"Why would I trick you? It's fine if you don't go. Because I've found three thousand Great Demon Kings who are even more powerful than you! They will turn the entire immortal realm upside down!" Lu Fan said, then flicked his hand, and the body of a divine general suddenly appeared before the Ancestral Dragon.
"What do you think? An immortal body! Impressive, isn't it!" Lu Fan said proudly.
"A congenital god-demon from the early Hongmeng stage?" The Ancestral Dragon's eyes lit up instantly! *Swish...* His massive body instantly shattered the restriction barrier and rushed out of the stone wall. He directly burrowed into the divine general's body.
"Hey! Ancestral Dragon! That's mine..." Lu Fan suddenly shouted!
"Kid! He's mine now." The Ancestral Dragon merely left a voice behind before rushing out of the cave.
"Hey! Don't forget to go to Biyou Palace!" Lu Fan shouted triumphantly from behind.
"Xiao Fan! Did you deliberately give that divine general to him?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"Of course, it was deliberate! This guy knows that with just a wisp of his divine soul, he can barely protect himself once he's out, so why would he go out?" Lu Fan said smugly.
"You want to throw the Heavenly Realm into chaos?" Liu Ruyan asked again.
"I always feel like someone is looking for me. But I can't figure out who or where this person is. So, I have to let them cause chaos and force this person to reveal themselves. Therefore, having the Ancestral Dragon and the First Qilin isn't enough; I also want to revive the three thousand Great Demon Kings," Lu Fan said with a slight smile and turned to leave Dragon Spring Cave.
"Sigh!" Liu Ruyan sighed softly and followed him out.
The five of them headed directly towards Qilin Cliff.
"Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons, I've only brought back twenty bodies. You can retrieve the rest yourselves!" Lu Fan placed the bodies of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons and other great demons outside Qilin Cliff and shouted loudly.
Twenty large coffins were placed outside Qilin Cliff, instantly causing the surrounding air to freeze.
"Kid! Thank you!" The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Demons' voice came from within the Soul Locking Purgatory.
"Ruo Mei! Jingjing! Since you've awakened your memories, you are free to choose whether to stay or go," Lu Fan said to Li Jingjing and Zhan Tai Ruo Mei.
"Thank you, Master! I want to kill Primordial Heavenly Venerate and avenge my clan. If I survive, I will return to serve Master," Li Jingjing said immediately.
"Master! I am the same as my sister. After we avenge ourselves, we will definitely return to serve Master!" Zhan Tai Ruo Mei also said!
"Good! Your Master will await your triumphant return!" Lu Fan said, then left with Liu Ruyan and Ling'er.
"Xiao Fan! Where are we going?" Liu Ruyan suddenly asked.
"The Heavenly Realm is in great chaos! No one should notice us. Of course, we're going back to live our own happy little lives," Lu Fan said, then reached out and put his arm around Liu Ruyan's waist.
"No..." Liu Ruyan couldn't help but dodge to the side, her face flushing red.
"What's wrong, Ruyan?" Lu Fan asked, slightly surprised, looking at Liu Ruyan.
"N-nothing! Ling'er is still here," Liu Ruyan explained hastily, a hint of panic in her voice.
"Lu Fan! Why don't you go back first? I'll go back to the Extreme Cold Land and then find you in the village," Liu Ruyan suddenly said.
