Undying Life

Chapter 253: The Seal Breaks

Princess Qianyou 'recovers.' She and Zhongshan looked at the demonic seed imprisoned in Zhongshan's palm together. The black demonic seed trembled slightly, and Zhongshan frowned as he looked at it.

"Sir, it's impossible to control the demonic seed. It bears the imprint of the Demon Lord. If it doesn't take root within three days, it will dissipate and return to the hands of Xieyan," Princess Qianyou said.

"Yeah, I tried just now, and it couldn't even be stored in my storage bracelet," Zhongshan frowned.

"What are you planning to do, sir?" Princess Qianyou asked.

"What to do? I haven't reached the realm of repaying grievances with virtue. Since they plotted against us, naturally, we have to plot back," Zhongshan raised an eyebrow.

"Let's go, let's go out first," Zhongshan said as he held the demonic seed in his palm.

"Okay," Princess Qianyou nodded.

Then, the two opened the door.

Outside the door, three people were still patiently waiting. Ada and A'er's faces were full of worry.

Seeing the two coming out, they immediately called out, "Princess, are you okay? Was the demonic seed pulled out?"

Nian Youyou, however, looked at Princess Qianyou with astonishment. Her eyes were full of disbelief because she noticed that Princess Qianyou's expression was normal now, without a trace of embarrassment. Wait, before the demonic seed was pulled out, Princess Qianyou still had a blush of embarrassment, but now, what happened? Nothing at all? It shouldn't be like this, did Zhongshan use another method? But what other method could there be?

Nian Youyou's eyes were full of astonishment. But Zhongshan just smiled slightly and opened his palm, where the demonic seed floated.

Seeing the demonic seed, Ada and A'er both sighed in relief.

Ada quickly released several spells on Princess Qianyou to lift the ban on her mana.

"Princess, sir, Xieyan must not be spared," Ada immediately said angrily.

"What about the shopkeeper?" Zhongshan asked Ada.

"Someone who dared to plot against the princess cannot be left alive in this world," Ada said immediately.

Hearing Ada's words, Zhongshan was speechless.

"Princess, I got the Fengshui Fish," A'er immediately took out a Fengshui Fish.

"Oh? Obtained from Xiao Qiushui?" Princess Qianyou asked with satisfaction.

"Yes, I captured Xiao Qiushui and left him unconscious in that room because I was worried about the princess and didn't deal with him. I just knocked him out and left him in that room," A'er said.

"Good, well done, A'er!" Zhongshan immediately exclaimed excitedly.

"Um, thank you, sir," A'er looked at Zhongshan strangely. Why was the sir praising him so much?

"Take me to see," Zhongshan said.

Princess Qianyou smiled slightly, as if she knew what Zhongshan was going to do.

Led by A'er, everyone went to the room, and sure enough, Xiao Qiushui was lying on the ground.

Zhongshan walked up and placed the demonic seed in front of Xiao Qiushui's nose. Slowly, he implanted the demonic seed back into Xiao Qiushui's body.

Watching this scene, Nian Youyou couldn't help but twitch her facial muscles unconsciously, feeling sad for Xiao Qiushui, and also for Xieyan. After half a year, when the demonic seed completely merged into Xiao Qiushui's body, Xieyan summoned his female slave, but what he summoned back was... And if this demonic seed was planted for half a year, even Xieyan himself couldn't retrieve it intact.

"Princess, the old scores have been settled," Zhongshan said.

"Yeah, A'er, find a place where no one is around and throw Xiao Qiushui out," Princess Qianyou nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes," A'er immediately agreed. Then, with a trace of doubt, he carried Xiao Qiushui and disappeared in the room—

In the hall of the Sealed Spirit City, Xieyan frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, young master?" Eighth Demon Luo asked.

"I felt something unusual about the demonic seed, but it's fine now. It should be Princess Qianyou who found someone to pull it out, but failed, and it recovered. Hmph, my demonic seed is not so easy to remove. Since it can't be removed, let it obediently become my female slave half a year later, haha!" Xieyan laughed wildly.

"Congratulations, young master," Eighth Demon Luo immediately said.

"Mm," Xieyan nodded in satisfaction—

Another three months passed, and the time mentioned by Xuanyuan had arrived.

Ten days ago, the officials of the Sealed Spirit City began to announce throughout the city that there was an extremely vicious demon in the Fengshui Array, the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tail, and all the city residents should leave the city within ten days.

Most of the people with low strength in the city were self-aware and left the city. Even many people in the Golden Core Period left the city, but more chose to stay behind. With the Fengshui Array activated, there must be treasures inside. Maybe they would be the luckiest ones? A vicious demon? Why didn't the large army of the Sealed Spirit City leave? Those who stayed behind sneered at the announcement.

On this day, a thick fog suddenly rose throughout the Sealed Spirit City. This fog was very strange; it could weaken the originally released divine senses to one-tenth of their original power, which means that what could originally be explored within ten zhang could now only be explored within one zhang.

In the circular valley where Xuanyuan was located.

The original Xuanyuan had disappeared, and the time had come. Xuanyuan didn't even bother to take a look at what was sealed; he disappeared in front of everyone.

On the peaks of the mountains, there were already people standing, of course, they were all those who guessed that this was the source of the seal, and there were even more people scattered around the city.

On a mountain peak.

"Your Highness, aren't we leaving?" Mr. Zuo frowned and asked.

"Hehe, we've waited so long, shouldn't we take a look? The world's most vicious creature, what exactly is the world's most vicious creature? There are three hundred thousand troops in the city, what am I afraid of? What if it's not the 'Eight Extreme Heaven's Tail'? Wouldn't we have missed it?" Prince Han Jue said.

"Your Highness is wise," Mr. Zuo immediately agreed.

On another mountain peak, Xieyan looked at Princess Qianyou on the distant mountain peak with a trace of silver laughter. It seemed that soon, Princess Qianyou would be his. Eighth Demon Luo stood beside Xieyan, protecting Xieyan at all times.

Xiao Qiushui never came back. He had been thrown out of the city by A'er a long time ago, and he left early without the Fengshui Fish, feeling a little unwilling.

In a flash, and another flash, then another, like a breath.

As this breath-like flickering continued, all the various Tianwei Towers in the entire Sealed Spirit City suddenly opened and closed, as if breathing. Not only the Tianwei Towers, but also the Tianwei growing everywhere in the Sealed Spirit City, opened and closed like breathing.

The seal was about to break, and everyone's attention was focused on the center.

"Crackling..."

The circular valley below suddenly shook and transformed into twenty-four layers, each layer containing different small grids. In each grid, there were some characters resembling the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

Twenty-four circles, a compass, a gigantic compass in the valley? The compass had twenty-four layers, rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, fast or slow. It emitted a faint radiance and faintly radiant.

At the center of the celestial pool, a sudden burst of golden light erupted.

A large 'Swastika' pattern floated slowly in the air, emitting a dazzling golden light, continuously suppressing the celestial pool.

Beside the 'Swastika,' there were also many small 'Swastikas' surrounding it, seemingly gathering energy to enhance the power of the large 'Swastika.'

At the same time, on the surface of the giant compass, four shadow-like claws suddenly appeared, dragon claws, extending from the celestial pool to the southeast, northwest, piercing through the mountain peaks under everyone's feet, and it was unclear where they extended to.

"Sir, this Fengshui array should be a time-limited array," Princess Qianyou said.

"A time-limited array?" Zhongshan puzzled.

"Yes, time-limited arrays have fixed time limits. I don't know how many years this one is limited to, but one thing is for sure, today is its time limit. Even if we don't break it, whatever is sealed inside will be released," Princess Qianyou said.

"This is a ten-thousand-year array, limited to ten thousand years," Nian Youyou suddenly narrowed her eyes and said. Her brows furrowed slightly.

"A ten-thousand-year array?" Zhongshan frowned.

"Yes, usually, it's because the thing sealed inside is related to the Fengshui Master. The Fengshui Master seals it for ten thousand years to cleanse all connections with oneself. After ten thousand years, the Fengshui Master doesn't care anymore. However, the 'Swastika' sealing the celestial pool should be left by a Bodhisattva from the Pure Land of Bliss. I didn't expect this seal to not only have traces of the Fengshui Master but also be related to the Pure Land of Bliss," Nian Youyou said.

The golden 'Swastika' expanded and contracted, and within the entire Sealed Spirit City, the endless Tianwei also seemed to become lively.

"Break it!" Prince Han Jue shouted.

"Yes!" Suddenly, there was a sound of countless armor and weapons all around.

At the command of each person, tens of thousands of breaking arrows shot directly at the large 'Swastika.'

"Boom~"

Tens of thousands of breaking arrows directly shattered the large 'Swastika' in one round. Perhaps the 'Swastika' seal had become extremely weak after enduring ten thousand years, or perhaps it was the collective effort of the Eight Extreme Heaven's Tails inside, but in any case, the 'Swastika' was broken under the barrage of arrows.
