"That's right. Back then, I also cherished my physical body and refused to dissolve into an immortal."
"As a result, I starved to death here, suffering a great torment for nothing."
"In the end, he still achieved immortality through corpse dissolution!"
The patriarch of Mount Hua said quietly.
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Li, it's better to transcend death and become an immortal than to starve to death. That would be far more carefree!"
Bai Mei advised.
"You don't need to persuade me anymore. I'm just here for a visit, and I'll be returning to the human world soon!"
Li Yao said calmly.
"..."
The Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and others looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads slightly. They all felt that Li Yao was too naive.
Back then, many of them shared the same thoughts as Li Yao.
However, after trying countless methods and hitting countless walls, they ultimately discovered that they simply could not leave this place, could not escape this enormous cage.
"Let's go, take me to see the Demon Valley!"
As he spoke, a cloud of black mist rose up and enveloped Li Yao.
The next moment, a black light flashed in the black mist, and Li Yao disappeared.
"What...what's going on?"
Where did he go?
The Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
"He's on the back of that yellow bird!"
Bai Mei pointed to the yellow bird in the sky.
How did he get up there?
"He didn't achieve immortality through corpse liberation, yet he still possesses magical powers?"
"Also, did he bring that giant yellow bird?"
The Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the others were even more confused.
"You may not know this, but Fellow Daoist Li has a ring with spatial abilities. He used the ring to teleport to the back of the yellow bird."
"As for the yellow bird, he did bring it over with the ring."
Bai Mei offered an explanation.
"There are actually such magical treasures in this world."
The Yellow Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and others were amazed.
Chapter 634 I heard you have a Tiger Soul Blade
Led by the Yellow Emperor and others, Li Yao arrived at the Demon Valley.
This Demon Valley is much more complex in terrain and much smaller in area than the previous valley.
The sky above Demon Valley was shrouded in a hazy, demonic aura.
Above this mass of demonic energy hung a giant sword with an ancient design.
The giant sword emitted a ghostly blue light, enveloping the entire Demon Valley.
In the center of the Demon Valley, there is a huge stone platform.
On the stone platform stood a huge stone pillar.
On the stone pillar, a person was bound to several thick black iron chains.
This person had a very fierce appearance, with a face like a bull's head, wings on his back, and exuded a demonic aura that sent chills down one's spine.
"That scent is so familiar!"
Li Yao was secretly startled.
He immediately realized what was happening.
When he entered Chi You's Blood Cave earlier, the cave was already filled with this kind of aura.
It seems that the Chi You Blood Cave is indeed related to Chi You.
However, so many years have passed, and Chi You has long since ascended to this second space.
Why is there still such a strong Chi You aura in the Blood Cave?
Could there be something else strange within the Blood Cave?
Although he was surprised, he did not show it.
He pointed to the bull-headed, human-bodied figure tied to the stone pillar and asked, "Is he Chi You?"
"Indeed, Chi You's magic power is immense. None of us can defeat him. Only by joining forces, injecting our magic power into the Xuanyuan Sword, and setting up this magic array can we suppress him!"
The Yellow Emperor said with a solemn expression.
At this moment, Chi You seemed to sense the presence of the Yellow Emperor and others, and suddenly raised his head.
His face turned fierce, and he roared into the air, "Xuanyuan, Kuiwei, you two treacherous villains, release me at once!"
Xuanyuan is another name for the Yellow Emperor.
Kuiwei is another name for Emperor Yan.
Chi You hated the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor to the core, so naturally he would not address them by their imperial titles.
"Chi You, you have slaughtered countless lives and forged an evil blood cave; your crimes are heinous!"
"Even now, you still refuse to repent; you are truly stubborn and incorrigible!"
"If we let you out, once you return to the human world, the human world will be turned into a demonic realm because of you."
"You'd better stay here obediently and reflect on your actions!"
The Yellow Emperor rebuked Chi You a few times.
"You two despicable and shameless villains, if you hadn't joined forces and ganged up on me, how could you possibly be my match?"
Chi You chuckled.
"To eradicate evil and restore peace to all people is a righteous act!"
The Yellow Emperor spoke with righteous indignation.
"Bah! Stop spouting these high-sounding, hypocritical words. You've joined forces to attack me because you're after my territory!"
Chi You said disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor looked rather displeased.
Indeed, their initial joint attack on Chiyou was indeed aimed at seizing Chiyou's territory.
These are all things that can't be brought to the table, so naturally they won't admit to them.
As the saying goes, history is written by the victors.
After defeating Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor portrayed Chiyou as an extremely wicked demon, while they themselves were portrayed as great sages who saved the world.
In fact, it is really difficult to determine who is right and who is wrong.
At this moment, Chi You noticed Li Yao, frowned, and asked, "You're new here, kid. I don't think I've seen you before?"
"I was just passing by and happened to meet the legendary Chi You, which is you!"
Li Yao smiled faintly.
Then, his eyes darted around, and he asked, "I heard you have a Tiger Soul Blade?"
Upon hearing the words "Tiger Soul Blade," Chi You's expression changed drastically.
His expression quickly returned to normal, and he said, "Why are you asking this?"
"Where is your Tiger Soul Blade now?"
Li Yao asked curiously.
"It was already lost in the Battle of Zhuolu!"
Chi You's eyes flickered slightly.
Although it was barely perceptible, Li Yao still noticed it keenly.
Clearly, Chi You was not telling the truth.
So why didn't Chi You tell the truth?
Could there be something strange about the Tiger Soul Blade?
Li Yao seems to have grasped some very crucial information, but he can't connect the dots right now.
In short, he felt that the Chi You before him, and the blood pit left by Chi You, were not simple.
There might be an amazing secret hidden inside!
Having regained his composure, Li Yao and the Yellow Emperor's group left Demon Valley and returned to Immortal Valley.
During this trip to the Second Space, Li Yao has roughly figured out what the Second Space is all about.
There was only one thing he didn't understand.
That's why, after the Yellow Emperor and others ascended to this place, they could never return to the human world.
Perhaps, behind this world, there is an extremely powerful force manipulating everything, playing the Yellow Emperor and his group like puppets.
However, these things did not interest Li Yao.
He's only interested in Chi You's Blood Cave!
Having come this far, he decided to leave and return to the human world.
