The Demonic Mountain was not a specific area but comprised nurous shattered ancient realms filled with vapor and demonic fog.
Over the years, many powerful demons and ancient monsters from various realms had gathered in the Demonic Mountain. So notorious wicked leaders who once wreaked havoc had pledged allegiance to the Demon Mountainic, ruled by the Red-Clothed Demoness.
In the current immortal realms, excluding the Divine Kingdom, the Demonic Mountain stands as one of the top-tier forces.
Rumors suggest a deep connection between the Demonic Mountain and the current master of the Divine Kingdom, Gu Changge, who was once the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons.
The ruler of Demonic Mountain, Chan Hongyi, was rumored to be a disciple of Gu Changge, but their relationship turned hostile for unknown reasons.
However, this has kept the status of the Demonic Mountain, as it can rival the powers of the Gu Family and the Peerless Immortal Dynasty in the immortal realms.
With Tao Yao stepping into the Demonic Mountain, a trendous upheaval occurs. Demonic clouds surge, and figures appear amid the chaotic mist on the winding mountain ridges. Yet, these figures seem to have received orders, quietly vanishing as they cast a glance at Tao Yao.
Tao Yao proceeds calmly into the depths of the Demonic Mountain. Her pace isnt hurried, and the turbulent demonic clouds part before her, revealing a path.
Deep within the Demonic Mountain, a sowhat lonely peak cos into view. It isnt towering, with simple thatched cottages and a clear stone pond. The demonic energy surges in all directions, but the surroundings exude a tranquil and peaceful aura.
At the mountains peak, a figure in red attire sits in ditation. She is lovely, her features delicate like flawless porcelain. Her small face bears brows resembling distant hills, eyes like dots of lacquer, and below the corner of her eyes, theres a teardrop-shaped beauty mark.
As she watches Tao Yao approaching, she suddenly breaks into a smile. This smile seems capable of causing chaos and turning the world upside down. The radiance of the world intensifies with her smile.
Long ti no see
Old friend.
Chan Hongyi looks at Tao Yao, her smile bewitching. At this mont, she appears as the enchantress, while Tao Yao, who approaches, emanates a sense of serenity and sanctity.
Indeed, it has been a long ti. I didnt expect that, in the end, it would be coming to see you, Tao Yao speaks softly as her figure descends onto the mountain peak. Looking at the familiar surroundings, she falls into a montary silence, her expression complex.
Despite Chan Hongyis intense hatred for Gu Changge, it doesnt conceal her obsession. Otherwise, the arrangent of this place would be very different from the past mountain peaks.
I didnt expect that you would co to see .
Chan Hongyi smiled gently as she spoke, appearing serene at the mont, devoid of the previous hostility in her eyes.
She sat at the mountains summit, accompanied by a simple stone table and stool. There was also a tiny peach tree that had yet to grow fully.
What youre doing is it an imitation of him?
Tao Yao couldnt help but sigh softly, observing Chan Hongyis deanor, current expression, and even the position where she ditated.
Tao Yao thought Chan Hongyi had indeed fallen into the demonic path, and deeply so.
Perhaps, Chan Hongyi replied with a smile. Only by doing so can I feel his presence, as if I once possessed it
She continued to smile, her expression becoming even more enchanting. She didnt deny her actions, especially not in front of Tao Yao, an old friend who knew her inside out.
You have truly fallen into the demonic path, Peach Yao said, looking at her with amazent. At this mont, Chan Hongyis expression even resembles Gu Changge.
Im the Red-Clothed Demoness now, arent I? What does it matter if I fall into the demonic path or not? Chan Hongyi said and shook her head while still smiling.
Tao Yao didnt know what to say. The current Chan Hongyi made it difficult for her to connect with the mory of the brave, innocent girl in red from the past.
How long have you been like this? After a mont of silence, she asked again.
When Chan Hongyi heard this question, she didnt answer imdiately, her expression showing a hint of trance.
How long has it been?
Does it refer to falling into the demonic path? Or does it an sitting idly like this, forgetting everything, atop the mountain?
She couldnt rember anymore. Now, her mories were sotis blurred, sotis explicit, and sotis she felt like she had returned to her childhood
Clear yet hazy.
Many scenes overlapped, making it difficult for her to distinguish the passage of ti.
Perhaps it has been several hundred years Chan Hongyi spoke softly, the smile on her face fading away. Her features seed even more delicate, like a lotus in the early rain, exuding a sense of desolation.
Several hundred years?
Is it the day he got married?
Tao Yao fell into silence, and surprisingly, she wasnt astonished by this revelation.
Chan Hongyi adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position without saying much more. Instead of cross-legged ditation, she casually waved her hand, and a faint tea fragrance appeared on the nearby stone table, accompanied by a pot of hot tea.
As old friends, I dont have any good tea to offer you, Chan Hongyi said.
Help yourself.
After saying this, she hugged her knees again, placing her chin on her knees as if she were watching sothing.
Tao Yao sat on the stone stool, poured herself a cup of tea, and said, Stop staring. Instead of watching from a distance, why not ask him yourself?
Chan Hongyi took the tea offered by Tao Yao with a casual gesture. Her gaze lingered on the tea, gently rippling with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
Why ask? Chan Hongyis eyes were deep, focused on the tea in the cup, where a few dried peach blossoms floated.
Ask for a reason. Also, ask for an answer you want to know, Tao Yao said, blowing on her tea.
Suddenly, Chan Hongyi smiled, but there was a hint of mockery in her smile. Whats the point of asking? Were reasons or answers still important now? she retorted.
Tao Yao glanced at her calmly and said, Whether they are important or not, you know it in your heart.
I didnt co to talk about these things and reminisce with you. Over these days, you should have felt the changes in the world With our current strength, we should be able to bear those vast causes and effects. Going back in ti, we might be able to witness so things firsthand. This could also be a way to resolve the obsession between you and .
If the causes and effects backlash during the journey, and we cant bear it, dying in the process, its better than living in the current haze.
This was a decision she had made before leaving Peach Village.
Now, with the changes in the world, she has regained so of her past strength.
Although she couldnt indeed reverse ti and return to ancient tis, she, as a passerby, could witness so things with her own eyes. However, there were things with such enormous karmic consequences that even Tao Yao wasnt sure if she could bear them.
Peering into the ancient world required a price to be paid.
Going back in ti? Chan Hongyi repeated, surprised to learn this was why Peach Yao sought her out. She continued muttering, The Destiny Grand Priestess of the Immortal Palace is currently in the Destiny Temple. She possesses the Fateful Immortal Boat, which can traverse the river of ti and offset many imnse causes and effects.
Go find her, and she should be willing to lend it to you.
Tao Yaos tone remained calm, devoid of any ripples.
