Chapter 688: Holding Your Hand

Li Hui and Yang Jiuzhen sat at the peak of Taishan, with his left eye representing Yin and her right eye representing Yang, shining like the sun and moon illuminating the surroundings. They raised their arms, palms facing each other, while the baby floated beside them, curiously observing their parents.

Through the Yin-Yang merging, Yang Jiuzhen acquired the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique and the Ideal Body, while Li Hui attained the boundary Dao body and the Reversed Demonic Patterns.

They shared their cultivation results, and after being tempered by the Six Paths of Reincarnation, their skills quickly transformed into their own abilities, producing numerous mysterious changes.

Yang Jiuzhen combined the Cloud-Brush Dragon Claw Technique with the Reversed Demon Palm to create the Dragon Demon Puncture Hand, designed specifically to target the enemies’ vital points.

Casually pointing a few times at the nearby mountaintop, she instantly created a thousand-foot-long gap filled with fierce winds and calamity fire, making her quickly retract her attack, afraid to test it further. This power surpassed the peak performance of Ouyang Xiao Yi’s Reversed Demon Palm during her prime.

As for the Ideal Body, this cultivation method was extraordinary; reaching this level allowed her to evade most worldly harm. The fusion with the boundary Dao body was not simply additive, but magnified tenfold.

Wisdom Dragon Horns and Reversed Demonic Patterns emerged on Li Hui’s forehead.

Suddenly, the Reversed Demonic Patterns climbed up, emitting a hissing sound as they burned into his dragon horns. A storm of thunderclouds erupted in his mind, each thought flashing with electricity, observing everything from an incredibly rebellious perspective.

“Hmm? Is this how Reversed Demons perceive things? Bold and crazy! I should be more extreme and let the Wutu Continent live in fear. Hahaha! The strength of Reversed Demons comes entirely from body control. With my Wisdom Dragon Horns enhancing the Reversed Demonic Patterns, it could get rather terrifying if I went all out!” Li Hui was even afraid of himself; he seemed exceptionally suited to being a Reversed Demon, perhaps even more than a true Reversed Demon.

Next, guided by the Reversed Demon Dragon Horns, the Ideal Body and boundary Dao body began to merge, surpassing Yang Jiuzhen’s fusion and greatly enhancing their body refinement and ability to break through formations.

Five days later, a buzzing echoed at the absolute peak of Taishan as their legal forms instantly reverted. Their bodies emitted crackling sounds, shattering the surrounding six beams of light that scattered across the heavens and earth.

The mountains and rivers lost their color; the small veins and dragon veins that had been hidden underground vanished without a trace. The losses to the rich mineral veins were significant, transforming the Wutu Continent into a true wasteland of spiritual energy. Practitioners struggled to cultivate as it now slowed their progress by tenfold, making the demand for Miao Jade soar.

Practitioners at the foot of Taishan shouted, “What are they doing? Are they trying to ruin us, severing the very roots of the Wutu practitioner world?”

Their shouts traveled through the fierce winds to the top of Taishan. Yang Jiuzhen was slightly distracted, and Li Hui quickly reminded her, “It’s not time to conclude yet. I have absorbed so much energy from the heavens and earth through the Yin-Yang merging to fundamentally eradicate the environment that demons thrive in. This energy, once diverted by Taishan, has already been purified. In a few days, there will be benefits. But before that, we need to push the Six Paths of Reincarnation to conceal our child.”

“Oh? How do we hide him?” Yang Jiuzhen became serious upon hearing it was about their child.

“We will each send a thread of our spiritual sense into the cycle to accompany him as he grows, teaching him self-defense. Even if we unfortunately perish in the future, at least we will leave some legacy in this world. The calamities of heaven and earth will intensify, especially after my new arrangements…,” Li Hui stopped short; the path ahead was perilous and hard to articulate.

“Fine, we will share a thread of our spiritual sense to help this child grow.” Yang Jiuzhen’s back emitted strands of black mist, her expression suddenly becoming fierce as she said, “Jade must be refined to become useful. I will separate a thread of my spiritual sense from the Heartless Ideal Body and transform it into a female Rakshasa to nurture this child.”

Li Hui was astonished by Yang Jiuzhen’s decisiveness and nodded, saying, “Very well! I can just recover the Bull Demon King Talisman from the Heartless Ideal Body and appear with my spiritual sense through this talisman, transforming into a warlike demon clan practitioner! I will teach this child to battle against heaven and earth. If the Dharma Demon world rises swiftly, we might expunge this calamity.”

“Six Paths manifest, and reincarnation begins.”

With all their might, they sent out two figures with the child, quickly departing, then swiftly erased any traces in the area. After three days of surveying the surrounding area and ensuring no hidden dangers remained, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Jiuzhen pondered for a moment and said, “Why don’t we also send a segment of our spiritual sense to Turtle Longevity City to live as an ordinary couple?”

Li Hui recognized this was Yang Jiuzhen’s wish; she envied those couples living a peaceful life. He couldn’t help but smile, saying, “Alright, we shouldn’t favor one over the other. While we protect our child fiercely, we should also safeguard our family in Turtle Longevity City. The calamity is upon us, and we must cover our past traces. Let’s walk through reincarnation again. My name is Li Yingjun, born in a small seaside kingdom. By chance, I followed my parents escaping to the Great Xia and settled in Turtle Longevity City for over ten years, marrying Yang Lu’er, who also fled here. What does my wife think?”

“No, have you forgotten that I was born with Mu Qianyun? I’m her sister and naturally have a family in Turtle Longevity City. I was loved by my parents since childhood. The Mu and Li families both come from Dalong and have a historical friendship. When the time comes for marriage, you’ll need to twist and turn for three days and nights, gathering your courage to ask a matchmaker for my hand, and then in front of the whole city, you’ll marry me. By the way, my name will be Mu Qianxun.”

Li Hui laughed cheerfully, “Hehe, should I arrange a few rivals to jump out and duel with me at the critical moment? Or perhaps the Mu family can set up a platform for me to return from my training and win my beauty with a few punches?”

“You dare! I want to marry you smoothly, and there must be not a single mistake; otherwise, I’ll have trouble with you!” Yang Jiuzhen said playfully.

“Good, good, good. Twist and turn for three days and nights, then go ask for my hand without a hitch!” Li Hui quickly gathered his focus, pushing the cycle to start severing traces that could lead to trouble, fulfilling Yang Jiuzhen’s wishes so they could engage heavily.

“Reincarnation happens in the world; we will grow old together!”

At this moment, Yang Jiuzhen was even more solemn and serious than Li Hui.

Suddenly, she recalled the dark and sunless Heavenly Realm, where for a hundred years, only two months of sunlight would break through. Ouyang Xiao Yi was born during those two months of bright sunshine.

Reversed Demons were born with memories, and perhaps it was because they had seen the sun that she, unlike others, yearned for something beautiful. That yearning only intensified until she met him, and she felt her soul tremble.

After an indeterminate time, Li Hui embraced Yang Jiuzhen, gracefully descending from the peak of Taishan, tightening his hold as he said, “Green green son’s collar, my heart is endless! This evening, we join in marriage, love unwavering! Holding your hand, growing old together! Though we may not live together, in death we shall share the same grave…”
