Chapter 474: The Creator Awakens

The sky remained clear, with dark clouds still covering it as though it had not heard his words at all.

Fu Young, however, did not think so.

After speaking, he calmly took out the Myriad Koi Pearl he had obtained from the auction while standing above the black sea of flames.

He released his divine sense and sent it into the stone.

Although this was his first time entering it, his powerful divine sense swept through everything within and accurately pierced through all the false illusions.

He directly grasped the golden one.

Immediately afterward, a realm gate opened before him.

In the next moment, the Myriad Koi Pearl pulled his true body into the realm gate.

Above the Heavenly Demon Palace, which had collapsed beneath the flames of the Terrestrial Fox Black Flame, only the Myriad Koi Pearl fell down.

Fu Young’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

...

Demon Abyss Realm.

Xiao Shou continuously refined the light-attribute spiritual particles, using the Vitality Restoration Art to transform them into pure vitality that repaired every part of his body.

Outside, whenever the Star Demon Mother Tree saw that the light-attribute spiritual particles before Xiao Shou had been completely absorbed, it would take out another light-attribute spiritual particle compressed into a purple sphere by one of the first-generation Star Demons, bring it before Xiao Shou, and open it.

Again and again...

Xiao Shou continuously absorbed the light-attribute spiritual particles sent by the Star Demon Mother Tree. Originally, when he finished absorbing the fourth one, his injuries had already been completely healed. However, the Star Demon Mother Tree still offered him another purple sphere filled with light-attribute spiritual particles.

Having realized through this experience that vitality was as precious as life itself, Xiao Shou naturally continued absorbing the light-attribute spiritual particles.

He refined them into pure vitality and stored them in his middle dantian.

One after another, he continued this process. After spending the time of three purple sunrises and sunsets refining the nine purple spheres, the amount of vitality stored in his middle dantian had already exceeded what he possessed before fighting the Demon Abyss Clan soldiers and generals in the Heaven Origin Realm by more than ten times.

Just how much light-attribute spiritual energy was contained within those purple spheres could be understood from the amount of vitality required to completely regenerate every part of his body, both inside and out, including his bones, internal organs, muscles, blood vessels, meridians, and more.

In particular, the amount of light-attribute spiritual particles contained within the final golden-purple sphere was more than twice that of the previous purple spheres. This truly left Xiao Shou pleasantly surprised at the time.

After storing the remaining vitality in his middle dantian, Xiao Shou, who had been lying there for three purple sunrises and sunsets, finally sat up.

The moment he sat up, a series of cracking sounds rang out around him, as though something was breaking.

Xiao Shou froze for a moment before discovering, somewhat to his surprise, that his entire body was wrapped in a thick black blood cocoon. Whenever he moved, cracks appeared across the blood cocoon with a series of cracking sounds.

He knew that this should have been formed from the blood and flesh that had been expelled from his body after his damaged body regenerated, along with the flesh and other tissues that had been contaminated by demonic aura.

Therefore, he calmly cast several Cleansing Techniques to clean himself.

Only after removing the layer of blood cocoon did he discover that his defensive battle armor, clothes, and other items had all been completely damaged. They were covered with countless holes, clearly showing just how terrifying the attacks he had endured back then had been.

Having already experienced being bitten to death by an exotic beast, Xiao Shou had gradually become thick-skinned enough during these three days to ignore the pain he had suffered at the time.

However, seeing the damaged battle armor now reminded him of that scene again, causing him to shudder.

He quickly stuffed the damaged defensive armor and other items into his storage ring and thought to himself:

If he couldn’t see them, he wouldn’t remember them. That was for the best.

Therefore, Xiao Shou found a suitable set of battle armor in the new storage ring Tushan Qing had given him and refined it. He then found a set of clothes in his own storage ring and changed into them. After fixing his hair and making sure he looked presentable, he finally said to the Star Demon Mother Tree, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time. Can I leave now?"

The Star Demon Mother Tree did not respond with words. Instead, it happily shook the leaves of its enormous canopy.

Then, silently, a passage three people tall opened in the trunk directly in front of Xiao Shou.

Perhaps worried that Xiao Shou might be afraid of the dark, the Star Demon Mother Tree thoughtfully filled the passage with purple light from front to back and left to right. The passage looked extremely mysterious and elegant, making anyone who saw it feel an irresistible urge to enter and explore.

"Thank you!"

Seeing that the Star Demon Mother Tree had taken care of him once again, Xiao Shou sincerely thanked it from the bottom of his heart before entering the passage.

He quickly flew through the spacious, mysterious, and perfectly straight passage filled with purple light. The moment Xiao Shou shot out of the exit in the trunk, the opening behind him silently closed. ℴℴ𝘮

Before he could even react, thirteen streaks of golden-purple and purple light flashed.

Thirteen figures immediately appeared before Xiao Shou and spoke in unison.

"Congratulations, Creator, on your complete recovery."

"Uh! You don’t have to be so polite. Just call me by my name, or use the customary form of address in the cultivation world and call me Fellow Daoist Xiao."

Through divine sense communication, it had not felt particularly strange. But being addressed so respectfully as "Creator" face-to-face did not make Xiao Shou feel proud at all.

Instead, he felt overwhelmingly embarrassed.
