Chapter 818: Chapter 23: The Underworld’s Nether Spring Erupts!

A week later, in the Biyou Palace on Golden Turtle Island.

"Is it still not working?"

Xiluo stood disheveled at the end of the corridor.

At this moment, after being busy for days, she had completely lost interest in her appearance.

If it weren’t for the Celestial Maiden Feather Robe’s built-in cleaning feature, Xiluo’s condition might have been more than just disheveled.

Despite this, Yao Xi, standing beside her, couldn’t hide the disdain in her eyes, far from the composure she had when she first met the Queen Mother of the West.

Yao Xi is a Longbo Giant known for her cleanliness obsession, something everyone is aware of.

Being able to bear her inner disgust and stay by Xiluo’s side was already a sign of how much she valued her.

In fact, if it weren’t for the safety of Luo Qiao and even the Longbo Kingdom being at stake.

Yao Xi wouldn’t bother to endure, wasting time here with Xiluo!

"I don’t think what Elixir of Immortality you use matters."

At this point, Yao Xi, unable to hold back any longer, finally spoke up.

"Can’t you see? It doesn’t want to ’be born’!"

"At the very least, it doesn’t like the body you’ve prepared for it now."

As the saying goes, a word to wake the dreamer, Xiluo immediately raised her head and looked at the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit not far away.

At this moment, the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit had completely transformed into a golden giant egg.

Nearby the giant egg, a baby quietly floated in mid-air.

Had she not witnessed the formation of that baby herself, Yao Xi could hardly believe it was a malformed life fruit.

"It doesn’t like this body?"

It seemed only then that she noticed Yao Xi’s presence, and Xiluo looked at her with a face full of confusion.

Due to the huge height difference, Yao Xi, even sitting cross-legged, was several times taller than Xiluo.

But that did not stop her from feeling the invisible pressure emanating from Yao Xi.

With just a simple glance, Yao Xi felt a deadly sense of crisis.

However, before this sense of crisis could spread, Yao Xi was amused by Xiluo’s next words.

"I remember you, you’re Luo Qiao’s second sister..."

"How are you so sure it doesn’t like this body? I thought my craftsmanship was quite good?"

"Even the appearance, I molded it after the doll’s childhood appearance?"

"Well, to ensure the closest possible likeness, I even deliberately compared it with past memories."

Though unclear about who Xiluo’s "doll" referred to.

But out of some intuition, Yao Xi thought it best not to delve into this question.

After all, whoever was used as the template for the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, it was clear that doll must not be any simple person.

If she accidentally knew the black history of some big figure, Yao Xi didn’t want to sleep with one eye open from then on.

"Perhaps that’s the reason?"

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t want to look exactly like someone else."

Testing this line tentatively, Yao Xi apparently did not want to dwell further on this issue.

"I think you noticed the turbulence in the River of Time, right?"

"Since three days ago, the River of Time has been in constant turmoil, precisely when you arrived in the Longbo Kingdom."

Feigning calm, Yao Xi paused to quietly observe Xiluo’s expression changes.

Surprisingly, instead of showing much surprise or avoiding the issue, Xiluo kept gazing calmly at her.

"You suspect that the turbulence in the River of Time is related to my arrival."

Without using an interrogative sentence, Xiluo just stated this fact.

"You’re worried I’ll bring disaster to Luo Qiao, to the Longbo Kingdom..."

"No, you want me to take away this Primordial Spirit, to completely keep disaster away from the Longbo Kingdom, am I right?"

In response to Xiluo’s words, Yao Xi subtly pursed her lips and eventually nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, I know in your eyes, I’m perhaps not a big figure."

"But in the hearts of the Longbo Giants, I’m a high priest worthy of everyone’s trust."

"I must be responsible for the safety of the Longbo Kingdom, deserving of their trust, especially in disasters that far exceed our capacity to bear."

Slightly raising her eyebrow, Xiluo watched Yao Xi’s sharpness and bravery.

Not everyone could detect the turbulence in the River of Time, nor did everyone have the courage to say such advice to the Queen Mother of the West.

"Do you know why the Tao Ancestor gave this Primordial Spirit to Luo Qiao to guard, instead of leaving it in the Tang Valley?"

"There’s clearly a burgeoning Fusang Tree there, the most suitable place for the Primordial Spirit to recover."

Slightly blinking in confusion, Yao Xi hesitantly shook her head.

She didn’t know the inside story, nor had Luo Qiao ever mentioned the origins of this incident to her.

"Because your brother is far stronger than you think."

With a brilliant smile blooming on her face, Xiluo’s tone even carried a bit of teasing and jest.

Xiluo was well-acquainted with this feeling, after all, she too had come up through it bit by bit.

When Xiluo still thought Li Boyang was a mortal in need of her protection, he had already quietly grown to the point of killing the Five Directions Gods.

When Xiluo gradually realized the gap between her and Li Boyang, he had already pioneered a new era and become a Tao Ancestor spanning ancient and modern times.

When Xiluo began to chase after Li Boyang’s footsteps, she helplessly found she actually needed his help to complete proving the Tao.

Now, in Luo Qiao and Yao Xi, Xiluo saw a replication of her and Li Boyang’s situation.

"Your brother is strong and gentle."

"The Longbo Kingdom is your duty, but not solely your duty."

"You should also try to trust your brother; his willingness to take on this task from the doll indicates his confidence to complete it."

Continuing to look at Xiluo in bewilderment.

Yao Xi was very certain that she seemed to have accidentally learned a black history that could cost her life.

But before Yao Xi could further contemplate the significance of the word "doll," a loud bang suddenly echoed throughout the entire island.

Rumbling...

This loud bang was so abrupt and earth-shattering.

Yao Xi instinctively stood up immediately, and then she noticed the waves of the River of Time turning into raging tides.

The tremors they felt earlier were merely the aftershocks of these tides.

"Outside...what’s happening?"

Her pupils suddenly trembled, and Yao Xi quickly locked onto the source of this disturbance.

It was a rift that traversed this world and the Netherworld, a channel that broke the barrier between the two realms.

"The Nether Spring in the Underworld has erupted!"
