1342 Soul Formation Mountain, Yu Aofeng
When he participated in Mo Xiao and She Ying’s wedding, Ji Linyuan’s phone rang non-stop. After the wedding ended, he hurriedly returned to the interstellar city. After all, he was the most highly regarded successor and the most talented researcher now.
The guests left after the lunch banquet. In the evening, only Yu Huang and the others were left in the Fox Immortal Palace.
At night, Mo Xiao and She Ying set up a banquet to invite Yu Huang and the others over. After everyone gathered together for dinner, they said goodbye. Before Sheng Xiao left, Mo Xiao suddenly stopped Sheng Xiao. “Sheng Xiao.”
“Godfather.” Sheng Xiao bowed and asked Mo Xiao, “What else do you need?”
Mo Xiao turned around and said to Yu Huang, “Ah Huang, you guys are about to set off, so bring a few people to go check your luggages. Don’t leave anything behind.”
“Okay.”
Knowing that her Godfather had something secret to tell Sheng Xiao, Yu Huang was curious, but she left with Ye Qingyang and the others. After watching Yu Huang and the others leave, Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Mo Xiao in surprise as he asked respectfully, “Godfather, what do you want to tell me?”
Mo Xiao walked to the window and looked at the south end of the Demon Beast Continent as he said, “There’s a highland rising from the ground at the south end of the Demon Beast Continent. The Central Pagoda is on that highland. That highland looks like the shape of a sword from a high place. Do you know what that place is?”
Sheng Xiao thought about it and said, “In ancient times, that highland was called the Divine Mountain Range.”
Mo Xiao shook his head mockingly and smiled as he said, “Now, that place is called the Soul Formation Mountain.”
Sheng Xiao’s eyes flickered.
“Soul Formation Mountain…”
From the moment he entered the Demon Beast Continent, Sheng Xiao felt a strong summoning force coming from the south of the continent.
Yu Aofeng was suppressed under the Divine Mountain Range.
“Sheng Xiao, do you want to see him?” Mo Xiao suddenly asked.
Sheng Xiao was shocked and his heart started racing.
“He’s being suppressed by the Creator and tortured by the lightning whip day and night. Even if I want to take a look, I’m afraid I won’t be able to enter.” He was only a Grand Master, and that place was a purgatory created by the Creator. How could a Grand Master be able to enter?
“You can’t, but I can.” Mo Xiao placed his hands behind his back and smiled disdainfully as he snorted and said, “Killing the Divine Masters die has already severely injured him. I think he hasn’t completely recovered his strength yet. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort to set up a replica world and try to imprison Yu Huang forever.”
“Since you’re back, why don’t you go back and take a look?”
Sheng Xiao was tempted by Mo Xiao’s words.
“… Okay.”
“Then let’s go.” Mo Xiao was about to leave.
Seeing that Mo Xiao was about to leave, Sheng Xiao quickly said, “Not tonight. Tonight is your wedding night.” If anyone dared to disturb his wedding night with Yu Huang, he would kill that person.
“We’ll go there tomorrow.” Then, Mo Xiao went upstairs to look for She Ying.
When Sheng Xiao returned to his and Yu Huang’s residence, Yu Huang had just finished showering and was walking out of the bathroom in her nightgown.
Her body was slightly red and her gorgeous face was flushed. Her eyes looked even more charming than usual. Despite seeing that Sheng Xiao was back, Yu Huang didn’t ask him what he and Mo Xiao had discussed secretly.
After Yu Huang walked to the mirrored dressing table and pressed the nozzle of the moisturizer, she put on moisturizer. Ignoring Sheng Xiao, she leaned against the dressing table and started to apply the moisturizer all over her body. As her fingers rubbed her long legs and perky buttocks, Sheng Xiao’s mouth went dry.
Sheng Xiao took a lot of effort to look away. As he stared at the swaying trees outside the window, he said, “Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Soul Formation Mountain with Godfather.”
Yu Huang’s hand happened to reach her waist.
Upon hearing this, she paused and slowly placed her palm on her abdomen. “Yes.”
Sheng Xiao’s Adam’s apple bobbed a few times as he said hesitantly, “I don’t know what he looks like now, nor do I know how to face him. Rest in the Fox Immortal Palace tomorrow. When I come back, we’ll go back to the Cang Lang Continent together, okay?”
He didn’t want Yu Huang to see Yu Aofeng’s tragic state.
He didn’t want Yu Huang to feel sad.
Yu Huang could understand Sheng Xiao’s worries. As she applied moisturizer, her thoughts wandered to the Soul Formation Mountain.
After a while, Sheng Xiao heard Yu Huang say, “I’m not going.”
Sheng Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when Yu Huang agreed.
Then, he walked to the dressing table and pressed a few pumps of moisturizer. After he walked behind Yu Huang, he placed his wet palm on her shoulder and massaged her shoulder blade all the way to her waist. After applying the moisturizer, Sheng Xiao hugged Yu Huang’s waist and lowered his head to kiss the tear mark on Yu Huang’s shoulder blade.
Yu Huang could clearly feel Sheng Xiao’s breathing getting slower and slower. He seemed very troubled.
“Are you feeling uneasy?” Yu Huang rarely saw Sheng Xiao like this.
Sheng Xiao nodded and explained, “The lightning whipped Yu Aofeng for twelve thousand years. Do you think he’s still the same as before? I’m worried that he might have become a demon too.”
“So, that’s what you’re concerned about.” Yu Huang held Sheng Xiao’s face and said with certainty, “Yu Aofeng won’t become a demon.”
Sheng Xiao didn’t feel at ease. Instead, he said, “Didn’t Professor Song say that Holy Spirit Goldfeather was a selfless person in the beginning? But later, wasn’t he possessed by his inner demon and became a demon who would do anything to revive?”
“I don’t think Holy Spirit Goldfeather was a truly benevolent person.” Yu Huang calmly analyzed, “Perhaps before he became a Divine Master, he was indeed a saint, but don’t forget that the Central Pagoda divine artifact was refined from more than a million living people. Would a person who truly cared about people be ruthless enough to use the lives of a million living beings to refine the Central Pagoda divine artifact?”
Yu Huang personally witnessed the collapse of the Central Pagoda’s divine artifact. She saw its spiritual energy dissipate and transform into a pile of bones.
How could someone who could ruthlessly use the lives of millions of living people to refine a divine artifact be a selfless person?
When Sheng Xiao thought about the scene of the Central Pagoda falling and turning into bones all over the ground, he felt that Yu Huang was right. “Does that mean that Holy Spirit Goldfeather has been up to no good since the beginning?”
“I guess that when Professor Song told him about the Creator’s shocking conspiracy and he saw the Divine Masters die one after another, he realized that he wouldn’t be able to escape death either. As he pretended to cooperate with Professor Song, he secretly captured living people to refine divine artifacts and started his revival plan.”
Yu Huang shook her head and lamented, “He didn’t become a demon after he died. He was a demon to begin with!”
