307 Mo Ningsang

As he watched Zhou Donghuang's back become smaller and smaller, He Jin shook his head and laughed bitterly.

"This young man is really quite stubborn."

This time, before leaving the Lightning Sword Sect, when Zhou Donghuang had visited He Jin and uttered his request, Zhou Donghuang had mentioned that he believed the Qi Dynasty would send someone to kill him.

At that point, his first words had been, "You could simply greet those people of the Qi Dynasty and mention that you are an acquaintance of Liu Pingsheng. I'm sure they would not dare to touch you after knowing that."

Although Liu Pingsheng was not from the Qi Dynasty and instead was from the other Transcendental Force of the Hengliu galaxy, be it the Guangling Academy Dean or Emperor Qi of the Qi Dynasty, both saw him as a mentor and as a father figure.

If Zhou Donghuang mentioned his name, the Qi Dynasty would definitely not dare to threaten him again.

However, Zhou Donghuang rejected this notion as he did not want to owe Liu Pingsheng further.

To Zhou Donghuang, the fact that Liu Pingsheng had shared his Divine Dharma knowledge with him was already an extraordinarily heartwarming and generous gesture. He did not wish for Liu Pingsheng to offer him any more favors.

…

Upon reaching the Guiyao planet, Zhou Donghuang once again felt the unique Spirit energy of the planet. "I guess that Connate demon is still here."

Once moonlight shone down, Zhou Donghuang began to explore the Guiyao planet in search of any clues or traces of the Connate demon, and he did not leave any rock unturned. Every area was scrutinized without anything being overlooked.

Zhou Donghuang was patient, and he remained patient despite having no progress as each day went by.

This was because he knew that being impatient would lead to him missing out on tiny details, and he would then be unable to find the breeding ground of the Connate demon.

Nevertheless, this breeding ground of the Connate demon was hidden really well. After all, there were many natural guises and traditional spells that helped to conceal it. So although the Guiyao planet was extremely strange, no one from the Hengliu galaxy was able to successfully discover its secret, even after many years.

One month went by in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Donghuang still had not met with any success.

Another month went by.

Zhou Donghuang was still unsuccessful.

Three months went by to no avail.

Nevertheless, Zhou Donghuang remained as calm and as patient as before, using his Divine Will to meticulously sweep over every corner of the Guiyao planet.

These two channels of Divine Will went in separate directions and reached out.

"I've finally found it."

Eventually, during the fourth month of his stay on the planet, Zhou Donghuang finally managed to find a clue.

Splash!

…

Zhou Donghuang now froze before a giant waterfall in the air. The water seemed to fall from the skies, and they splashed against the mountains and rocks below. The droplets of water that bounced off managed to reach about 10 meters tall.

Zhou Donghuang's gaze was now fixated on the core of the waterfall. "In the story of the 'Journey to the West' back on Earth, the cave was hidden within the waterfall... Is it possible that it is the same here, except that the cave of this planet births more than just a monkey?"

After muttering to himself, Zhou Donghuang first shook his head amusedly at himself as he felt that he had become too obsessed with the narrative after reading too much of 'Journey to the West.'

However, now, he could confirm that the breeding ground of the Guiyao planet was definitely hidden behind this giant waterfall.

If he had not been patient and meticulous, it would have been impossible for him to find this place.

"Even if a Separating Divinity adept had been here, without patience and diligence, using pure Divine Will would not have been enough for him to find this clue... Perhaps only Immortal adepts would be able to find this place with ease."

After speaking thus far, Zhou Donghuang flew forward, and he suspended himself in the air using a layer of essential core as his shield. Carefully, he dodged the water and crossed the waterfall without getting a single drop of water on his body.

After crossing the waterfall, a giant mountain that seemed untouched lay before him.

However, once Zhou Donghuang stepped onto the mountain, where his foot landed suddenly changed from being a piece of the mountain to reveal a giant hole that was only now visible.

This hole was many meters deep and it was close to ten meters wide as well. The interior of the hole was pitch dark, and occasionally, a soft noise could be heard from within. This gave anyone who stood at the entrance chills.

Zhou Donghuang walked into the hole without any change in facial expression.

Randomly, Zhou Donghuang's palms suddenly had a gust of sparks fly up. Clearly, this was essential fire that he had created with his internal essential core, and this was used to illuminate the hole and allow Zhou Donghuang to see into the distance.

The walls of the hole were rather uneven, and they looked to be rather coarse. This was similar to that of the ground.

"I've arrived."

After reaching the end of the hole, Zhou Donghuang halted in his steps. At this moment, he could smell a strong scent coming from within, and this gave him a feeling of claustrophobia.

He knew that the Connate demon had to be within.

"I wonder what type of demon it is."

In the instant where the formation before him disappeared, Zhou Donghuang's eyes lit up, and he found himself in a giant yet brightly lit cave house. Before him, spirit weapons that looked almost real seemed to form.

Spirit energy within the cave house was unfurling from its walls, and it was clear that the source of the Spirit energy was coming directly from the various spirit stone veins on the Guiyao planet.

The Spirit energy here was unlike that of the outer world's.

"This..."

As for Zhou Donghuang, he was now mostly enthralled by the altar in the middle of the cave. More accurately, he was attracted by the items that were on the altar.

The altar was hexagonal, and there were many complicated lines and patterns on it, giving it an archaic look and somewhat reflecting the history it had been through.

On this alter, there was a crystal coffin that appeared to float above it, and the surrounding Sprit energy of the skies and the land seemed to be attracted to it. From within the crystal coffin, the Spirit energy that was emitted brought along with it the special qualities that were unique to the Guiyao planet.

Within the crystal coffin, a young lady who was dressed in pure white was lying in it, and she had a lean figure and perfect features. Her eyes were shut tightly, and Zhou Donghuang was unable to look away from her face.

"Could she be the giant Connate demon I'm searching for?"

Zhou Donghuang mused to himself. From his past life till now, this was still his first time coming across a woman with such a timeless look. She was beyond beautiful. Although her figure was rather uneven, she caused an indescribable feeling to overwhelm Zhou Donghuang.

After taking a deep breath, Zhou Donghuang could not resist it further, and he extended his Divine Will to probe the girl in an attempt to determine whether or not she was a demon.

This was a completely instinctive move.

If this girl had been a scary-looking Connate demon, Zhou Donghuang would of course refrain from using his Divine Will to probe it as that would be an extremely dangerous action to take. It would possibly awaken the Connate demon and cause it to attack him and kill him.

However, Zhou Donghuang reached out his Divine Will in a somewhat possessed manner. It was only at the moment when his Divine Will reached the crystal coffin that he had a sudden realization and regained his composure.

At the same time, the neutral expression he had been maintaining was replaced within an instant, and his eyes widened as he realized his mistake. His heart pounded. This was not good!

Within the next instant, his first instinct was to recall his Divine Will.

At the very same time, even before he could do so, he realized that within the crystal coffin, extremely strong Divine Will collided hard against his own Divine Will.

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Zhou Donghuang feared that it was all over for him.

However, within the next instant, he realized that this scary Divine Will that had emitted from within the crystal coffin had no aura of rage when it had collided with his. Instead, it was like the autumn waters, fusing perfectly with his Divine Will.

At the very same time, in Zhou Donghuang's brain, many pictures flashed by, and he managed to experience another living being's life. He saw where she had come from, her experiences and why she had ended up here, lying in a deep sleep within the crystal coffin and absorbing the Spirit energy of the Guiyao planet to maintain her own body.

Zhou Donghuang suddenly also felt as if his entire mind was being read and swept through.

"Now that I've been familiarized with her life... could she have been familiarized with my entire life, too?"

In the next moment, Zhou Donghuang's gaze landed on the lady in white lying within the crystal coffin. This lady was like a saint, having undisturbed and perfect features. Nevertheless, she was extremely hard to read.

"What do you think?"

A clear and heartwarming voice floated out in Zhou Donghuang's brain all of a sudden, giving him goosebumps.

He was the only one present in this entire, roomy cave, right?

At the very same time, Zhou Donghuang could see that the woman within the crystal coffin, who had previously been lying down, had suddenly stood up and was floating midair, staring at him with an impassive gaze.

This flawless lady in white glanced at Zhou Donghuang, "No wonder you were able to wake me up... I see now that you're someone who has transcended time. You managed to live thousands of years and then return back in time. That's rather hard to believe."

As the lady spoke, it was similar to the voice that Zhou Donghuang had just heard, clear and appealing.

However, although Zhou Donghuang could not help but admire the lady's beauty and clear voice, his facial expression darkened as well, and a cold, murderous look filled his eyes.

This was his biggest secret yet.

If anyone else were to know about it, this would be a giant threat to his safety!

"You do not need to feel threatened by me."

Although the lady's voice remained clear, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly in a smile, giving him a feeling of being swept away by a cold wind. "When you shared your memories with me, I too shared mine with you.

"For people of my type, we only receive a single change to share memories with another.

"With the rules of my tribe, the privilege of sharing memories can only be utilized with one's soulmate.

"Although it is a little hard to accept... However, I cannot go against the rules of my tribe.

"From now on, you are my man. My name is Mo Ningsang."

Just as the lady, Mo Ningsang, had spoken, Zhou Donghuang froze with that same murderous look in his eyes, and his face became numb with shock.

What nonsense did she just spout?

What did she mean when she said that he was now her man?

He had merely shared a portion of his memories with the other party... What kind of rules did the other party's tribe have?
