"You must be referring to the four spirits originally suppressed by the Spirit Suppressing Stone, right? After the stone shattered, those four spirits broke free; three of them occupied the shattered Celestial Suppressing Palace, which is now Longevity Island, Bottomless Pit, and Celestial Sea. The whereabouts of the fourth spirit are unknown," the Demon Spirit said.
"You don't have to ask; I intended to tell you anyway. I plan to go to Celestial Sea to retrieve Endless Water and to Longevity Island for Longevity at, which ans I'll definitely have dealings with them. I have a way to help you smoothly obtain these two items from them."
"What's the way?" Li Xiu thought to himself: "That Unparalleled King seems honest but is actually treacherous, hiding so many things."
"This thod can only be known by you; otherwise, disaster will ensue." The Demon Spirit's voice echoed in Li Xiu's mind.
Li Xiu silently morized the contents spoken by the Demon Spirit until the voice disappeared from his mind. When the Demon Spirit asked if he rembered, Li Xiu nodded in response.
"I know this is a gamble, but I have no chips left. Even if this last chip was deliberately given to by soone, I have no choice but to bet on this last chance." The Demon Spirit slowly stood up and walked out of the cave, looking at the stone forest under the sunset, revealing complex emotions in its glass-like eyes.
There was unwillingness, resentnt, and perhaps so relief.
"Human, what is your na?" After a long while, the Demon Spirit turned back slowly and looked at Li Xiu.
"Li Xiu." Li Xiu stood silently beside him, waiting, and responded.
"The Unparalleled King and Longevity Heaven both gave themselves nas, but I have never had a na. Now I want one too; can you help choose a na?" The Demon Spirit looked at Li Xiu and said.
"The sunset is infinitely beautiful but fleeting; how about 'Huang Hun'?" Li Xiu gazed at the sky full of red sunset clouds and suggested.
"Isn't this na sowhat inauspicious..." The Demon Spirit turned to the red clouds in the sky, contemplating.
"'Huang Hun' signifies an ending, but it also heralds the arrival of tomorrow and the prelude to new beginnings," Li Xiu explained.
"New beginnings? Sounds good, then I shall be 'Huang Hun.'" The Demon Spirit said, staring at the setting sun, and remained silent for a long ti.
Li Xiu waited until the sunset disappeared and night fell. Huang Hun remained motionless, prompting Li Xiu to call out to him several tis, but Huang Hun did not respond. When Li Xiu walked over, he saw that Huang Hun had already passed away, standing there just like that.
"Forgive ." Li Xiu lifted Huang Hun's body with both hands and brought it back into the cave, placing it slowly into the water pit.
As Huang Hun's body fell into the pit, it began to emit a phosphorescent glow, unlike its original gray rock-like appearance.
Thread by thread, the phosphorescent light flowed towards the Gem Species. After being absorbed by the Gem Species, the glow on the Gem Species gradually beca more dazzling.
The small gemstone, the size of a grain of rice at the center of the flower petals and flower, also beca increasingly brilliant.
"Such a pity; this fellow within the Divine Position level was likely among the top tier, with a high chance of yielding a Divine Position Gemstone, or perhaps even a ring," Li Xiu glanced at the Demon Spirit's corpse now subrged in the water, and then left the cave.
Earlier he worried about the Gem Species being devoured by other ignorant Demon Spirits, but now knowing its true origins, he realized it's not sothing anyone can consu, so there's no need to guard over it.
"It seems a journey to Celestial Sea is inevitable now." Only at this point did Li Xiu decide firmly to go to Celestial Sea.
With the decision made, Li Xiu no longer wasted ti, planning to head to the Fla River where the Great Demon King is located.
The Fla River is near Fla Mountain, though Li Xiu had heard of Fla Mountain before, he hadn't heard of this Fla River.
It was only after reviewing the president's provided information that he learned of this underground Fla River beneath Fla Mountain, where the mutated Divine Position Demon Spirit known as the Great Demon King resides.
After looking over the Great Demon King's information, Li Xiu called over A Fei before setting off.
With Li Xiu's assistance in practicing Light Planting, abundant resources, and A Fei's extraordinary Divine Skill of 'Renunciation,' she is now at Light Base Peak, just half a step away from Spirit Casting.
"Since that's the case, cast your spirit first, then co with to the Trial Gate; there's sothing only you can do," Li Xiu handed a Spirit Casting Bead to A Fei, aware of what she requires due to their shared Life Contract.
"Okay." A Fei didn't hesitate and took the Spirit Casting Bead, preparing to return to her room.
"Do it here, just in case there's an issue; I can lend you a hand," Li Xiu stopped A Fei.
He understood that the Forbidden Life Contract makes spirit casting challenging, unlike his own success due to Super Bottle Suction and Ultimate Light. Given A Fei's situation, her path wouldn't be easy.
Fortunately, Li Xiu's current resources are substantial, so he's not worried about facing obstacles.
A Fei nodded and, in Li Xiu's room, swallowed the Spirit Casting Bead and began executing Light Planting Technique.
Half a day later, A Fei and Li Xiu left No. 7 Courtyard and headed toward Fla Mountain.
A Fei had received an entry token during the trial, getting a Fire Ripple Flower Washing Skirt, which flickered crimson light, looking very festive.
With one radiating colorful light and the other shimring with fiery glow, the pair attracted attention wherever they went.
Fortunately, Fla Mountain was rarely visited by Trial Takers, so they encountered no one.
Though the na Fla Mountain sounds intimidating, it's truly unrelated to fire; not a single fla nor a tree branch to burn atop the pitch-black mountain.
The temperature is not high; rather, it's drizzling and damp, which might even feel chilly to ordinary people.
According to the information, Li Xiu discovered a cave entrance halfway up Fla Mountain. Inside, one cave led to another; the labyrinthine network could easily bewilder anyone relying on maps.
However, with Li Xiu's unparalleled mory and sense of direction, he smoothly reached Fla River inside Fla Mountain.
The so-called Fla River is a subterranean river of magma; scorching gold-red magma flows slowly within a deep trench, radiating heat that warms the surrounding air considerably.
