Chixia Mountain, Yang Residence.

Within the small world of the abdomen.

After hearing Silver Horn's explanation, Xiao Chen understood the whole story.

It turns out that the grudge he had with the God of War back then was like a butterfly effect, triggering a series of subsequent upheavals and involving countless causal entanglements.

However, once the immortal entered the Demotion Terrace, the celestial beings and humans were forever separated.

Once a celestial being is banished to the gloomy and eerie Banishment Platform, their fate becomes as uncertain as a candle flickering in the wind.

Whether one is reborn as an ordinary mortal or reduced to the body of a pig or a dog, it all depends on the will of Heaven.

Xiao Chen naturally had no idea that the Martial Star Lord had actually turned into a wild turtle in the mortal realm, and also into a wild monster. He simply thought that the Martial Star Lord had been reincarnated as a human.

Otherwise, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth will surely follow.

This Wuqu Star Lord turned their toad clan into living tea pets, torturing them every day.

He, the Toad King, must also turn that Martial Star Lord into a wild toad tea pet, pouring boiling water over him every day, so that he too can taste the torment, to comfort the spirits of the toad clan in heaven.

As the saying goes, "Debts are settled upon death."

When a person dies, the debt is cleared, and the cause and effect are resolved.

He had already formed a grudge against Wuqu Xingjun, who had once wanted to kill him and also deeply hated him.

at the moment.

Only by "refining" the Martial Star Lord can King Golden Horn settle this karmic debt.

Xiao Chen gently patted Silver Horn's shoulder, comforting him:

"Silver Horn, don't worry. Now that Wuqu Star Lord has come to the mortal realm, this grudge will surely be avenged."

"The Heavenly Realm is the territory of the gods; it's not appropriate for us to kill him."

"But once we reach the lower realm, what is there to fear from a mere Wuqu Star Lord? We can easily kill him!"

Silver Horn was moved to tears, with tears welling up in his eyes.

He quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said in a firm voice:
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Silver Horn will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations. Once my cultivation is complete, I will make that Martial Star Lord pay for his blood debt!"

"Avenge my toad clan!"

"Let him know that we toads are not to be trifled with!"

Xiao Chen patted Silver Horn on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"You have already reached the peak of True Immortal cultivation, and are only one step away from the Profound Immortal realm. This is truly remarkable."

"Rest in peace in this small world within my belly. I will release you when I descend to the mortal realm."

"When the time comes, once you find the whereabouts of the Martial Star Lord, you will be allowed to personally kill him to vent your hatred!"

For Silver Horn, the Golden Toad King was not only his savior, but also the leader and protector of his toad clan.

The Golden Toad King showed him both the care and guidance of an elder and the trust and reliance of his own kind, making him feel that he was not alone and helpless in the toad clan.

Therefore, Silver Horn secretly vowed to himself that he would gladly go through fire and water for the Golden Toad King, without hesitation. Even if it meant facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, he would never back down.

Upon hearing this, Silver Horn was moved to tears and said:
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. Silver Horn will live up to your expectations, cultivate diligently, and seek justice for our toad clan as soon as possible."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, secretly planning his future.

In these three realms, fighting alone is not the right path.

Back then, the three pure energies, Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing, huddled together for warmth and advanced hand in hand, dominating the primordial land. Wherever they went, no one dared to challenge them.

The same applies to the two Golden Crow brothers, Taiyi and Dijun.

The two brothers, Jinwu and Jinwu, worked together with great strength and perfect teamwork to kill Dongwanggong, the leader of the male immortals of the primordial world, and established the hegemony of the Demon Heavenly Court.

With brothers united, their strength could break metal. From then on, the Golden Crow clan established absolute authority among the demon race, and also gave the demon race a place in the Three Realms.

And then there are the twelve Ancestral Witch Clan members: Dijiang, Xuanming, Xizi, Shebishi... They can also fight against the Demon Heavenly Court by banding together.

These ancestral witch siblings were able to rival the Demon Heavenly Court by virtue of their powerful clan strength.

The human race has three emperors and five sovereigns.

……

As the saying goes, "Two fists can't beat four hands, a hero needs three helpers, and a fence needs three stakes."

Whether it's the Pure Qi Clan of the "Three Pure Ones," the Golden Crow Clan of the "Demon Emperor," or the Witch Clan such as the "Ancestral Witches," or the Human Race represented by the "Human Emperor"... all need the strength of their respective clans.

Individual strength is ultimately limited; to achieve great things, the power of the community is indispensable.

His wife, sworn brothers, adopted sons and daughters... could all be considered part of his clan's strength.

Xiao Chen had his own thoughts on this silver-horned toad.

On the one hand, it is extremely difficult for the toad clan to cultivate and attain enlightenment, so Xiao Chen naturally wants to take good care of the younger generation of the toad clan, so that they can have a glimmer of hope for survival in this cruel world.

On the other hand, the golden toad and the silver toad both belong to the toad family and are related by blood, so they are naturally more trustworthy and easier to use.

Moreover, Silver Horn is skilled in controlling ice and water, which will surely play a significant role in this water battle.

Xiao Chen already had a plan in mind. When the time was right, he would let "Silver Horned Toad" and his adopted son "Water Hyacinth Spirit" lead his Ice Carp Navy and jointly command the navy.

"Alright, Silver Horn, you should rest and recuperate here."

As Xiao Chen spoke, he prepared to leave the small world within his abdomen.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Silver Horn will certainly devote himself to cultivation here and live up to Your Majesty's high expectations!"

"Avenge our people as soon as possible!"

Silver Horn cupped his hands again, his eyes filled with hatred, his teeth clenched, as if he could already see the day when he would personally kill Wuqu Star Lord and avenge their toad clan.

……

After settling Silver Horn in and allowing it to rest peacefully in the small world within its belly.

Xiao Chen then invited Wan Shenglongnu to a secluded spot in the Yang residence to discuss their upcoming plans.

……

The Yang residence on Chixia Mountain is a proper abode of immortals in the celestial realm, so the environment is naturally quite nice.

As Xiao Chen stepped into the depths of the Yang residence, he saw winding paths leading to secluded spots, lush flowers and trees, and verdant grass.

In the courtyard, a simple stone table sits quietly, surrounded by lush bamboo, like a natural green barrier that isolates it from the noise of the outside world.

In the immortal realm, private residences are governed by strict rules.

Without a search warrant, one must never trespass or conduct unauthorized investigations.

After all, everyone here is a deity, and it is most taboo to disturb them during their cultivation.

If one is abruptly interrupted at a crucial moment in cultivation, at best one will suffer a qi deviation and lose all previous efforts, and at worst one's life will be in danger.

What if I'm cultivating and you disturb me?
Moreover, these residences, meticulously constructed by "celestial craftsmen," are generally protected by various restrictions, which will trigger an alarm if touched.

However, Xiao Chen was cautious by nature. Even though he was in the seemingly safe Yang residence, he still used his newly acquired magic weapon, the "Queen Mother's Golden Hairpin," to set up several barriers.

The barrier, like a transparent, invisible veil, enveloped the area where Xiao Chen and Wan Shenglongnu were located.

The invisible barrier created by the Queen Mother's golden hairpin not only prevented outsiders from peeping but also kept their conversations from being heard, providing the two with an excellent private space.

Wan Sheng Long Nu was, after all, a woman. In order to comply with the rules of the celestial realm, she had been wearing the clothes of the male celestial soldier "Yang Long" for many days in a row.

The clothes were really tight and rough, and very uncomfortable to wear.

Moreover, she had to use a "breast wrap" to tightly press down on those proud, large snow pomelos.

After a while, it was incredibly uncomfortable.

It was truly unbearable suffering.

The "breast wrap" was like an invisible shackle, binding her body.

It made her feel very depressed and uncomfortable.

The Taiping Yulan once said: "A lone white rabbit runs east and looks west."

These graceful jade rabbits, creatures of nature, loved to leap among the mountains and forests, their movements full of liveliness and playfulness. Yet the hunter, so cold and ruthless, cruelly imprisoned these two lively white rabbits in a small, cramped cage.

It imprisoned their freedom and restricted their agility.

At this moment.

There was no one else around, and he was in his own residence, protected by so many barriers.

The Dragon Girl removed some of her restraints and changed into slightly looser clothes so that her rabbits could get some fresh air.

Soon.

The Dragon Girl of Halloween changed her clothes and gracefully approached with light, lotus-like steps.

At this moment.

The voluptuous figure of the Dragon Girl was unmistakably revealed.

Her full breasts rose and fell gently with her breath, like undulating mountains, peaks upon peaks, seemingly hiding endless allure...

That slender waist, so delicate it could be encircled by a single hand, resembled a willow swaying in the breeze; its fragile beauty was so exquisite that it evoked feelings of pity and tenderness…

Her rounded buttocks, like a ripe peach, were full and elastic, exuding a captivating aura... Every gesture she made was full of charm and allure.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen asked in surprise:

"Ao Yao, why did you suddenly change your clothes today?"

The Dragon Girl blushed slightly and said shyly:

"Ugh, I'm always so restricted by those clothes, it's so uncomfortable."

"Since I have this rare opportunity today, I want to make myself more comfortable."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly and did not stop him.

After all, with such a stunningly beautiful dragon maiden hovering in front of him, it was quite pleasing to the eye, wasn't it?

Moreover, having spent a considerable amount of time on this ninth level, he was quite familiar with the situation here.

This ninth heavenly layer is mostly inhabited by ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals, where spiritual energy is scarce and cultivation resources are limited.

The great gods of Heaven generally reside in the high heavens, where spiritual energy is abundant and cultivation resources are plentiful.

The entire Chixia Mountain area is mainly occupied by the residences of the Silver-Armored Heavenly Soldiers.

Furthermore, since acquiring the A-grade magic treasure "Queen Mother's Golden Hairpin," the power of the barrier set up by Xiao Chen has greatly increased.

The Queen Mother's golden hairpin is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, capable of separating the essence of heaven and earth and stabilizing the veins of the four rivers; its power is astonishing.

With a mere stroke, he could create an indestructible barrier, isolating space and seemingly splitting heaven and earth in two.

Where the Queen Mother's golden hairpin drew, the celestial realm's barrier resembled a crystal dome, capable of preventing stars from falling; the terrestrial realm's barrier resembled a giant bronze lock, capable of suppressing the movement of mountains and rivers; and the human realm's barrier resembled a glass screen, blocking the miasma of the mortal world.

It can even "split the Milky Way with a single hairpin," dividing the vast Milky Way in two and blocking the flow of water; it can "lock the two realms of heaven and man," separating them forever...

Using the Queen Mother's golden hairpin to create a small barrier to block the detection of a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be no problem at all.

Therefore, in one's own home, there is indeed no need to be as careful or cautious as before.

"Sand, sand, sand..."

"Sand, sand, sand..."

A gentle breeze rustled the bamboo leaves, as if they were softly singing.

A small table.

Xiao Chen and Wan Shenglong sat facing each other.

Xiao Chen took out the Cloud Mist Immortal Tea.

Yunwu Xiancha (Cloud and Mist Immortal Tea) has leaves as delicate as silk, with a vibrant green color, resembling small pieces of jade, and exudes a subtle tea fragrance that is intoxicating.

This Cloud and Mist Immortal Tea is a specialty of the celestial realm. It grows atop high mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon. It has an excellent taste and an unforgettable aftertaste.

The silver-armored celestial soldiers also receive a small amount of Cloud Mist Immortal Tea each month, but not much.

Xiao Chen fetched snow water, poured it into the furnace, and used his magic to ignite the flames.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."

Soon, the water in the stove began to boil with a "bubbling" sound.

The aroma of tea wafts gently, like silk threads, filling the air and refreshing the mind and spirit.

Xiao Chen and Wan Shenglongnu brewed snow and enjoyed tea together, creating a unique and pleasant atmosphere in this tranquil setting.

"The immortal herbs and lingzhi from the Jade Pool..."

Xiao Chen picked up his teacup, took a sip of the Cloud Mist Immortal Tea, and his thoughts drifted away, recalling his previous trip to Yaochi to borrow a golden hairpin from the Queen Mother of the West.

At that time.

He saw many rare and precious herbs in the Jade Pool, some growing beside strange rocks, others beside clear springs, each with its own unique appearance and extraordinary spiritual charm.

Among them is a "Queen Mother's Herb Garden".

The Queen Mother's medicinal garden was like a piece of warm, green jade, inlaid in the fairyland of Yaochi, lush and full of life.

Within this medicinal garden, plants and trees flourish, brimming with vitality, as if the very essence of heaven and earth has gathered here. Among them, rare and precious herbs grow freely, displaying countless forms.

Some of the magical herbs radiate a unique golden light, some emit a faint mist, and some burst forth with a strange nine-colored glow...

Xiao Chen knew that the immortal herbs cultivated in the Queen Mother's herb garden were probably precious immortal herbs specially cultivated by the Queen Mother of Yaochi.

then.

Xiao Chen used a "mosquito-brand" cordless phone to tell Wan Shenglongnu about the scene he had seen in Yaochi, hoping to find any clues.

Xiao Chen explained it to Wan Shenglongnu in detail:

“Ao Yao, last time I went to Yaochi to borrow a golden hairpin from the Queen Mother of the West, I saw a lush and green Queen Mother's medicinal garden in Yaochi, which contained many, many spiritual herbs.”

Upon hearing this, Wan Shenglongnu's heart stirred. She raised her beautiful eyes slightly and asked with great interest:

"Oh? Is this happening?"

"I have heard that the Queen Mother's Herb Garden is a place where celestial herbs gather, containing countless rare and precious medicinal herbs that can bring the dead back to life, heal the wounded, and cure even the most serious illnesses in an instant."

"King Golden Horn, tell me, what kind of magical herbs are in the Queen Mother's herb garden?"

After a brief recollection, Xiao Chen recalled the vibrant scene of the Queen Mother's herb garden and recounted it in detail:
"I saw that in the Queen Mother's herb garden, the plants were lush and vibrant, and all kinds of spiritual herbs and immortal plants grew freely, vying for beauty."

"Some immortal herbs are entirely golden, their leaves like sharp swords, radiating a unique golden light. Wherever the light shines, endless spiritual energy surges..."

"Some of the immortal herbs are surrounded by a purple mist, dreamlike and ethereal, and their roots and stems subtly exude a Daoist aura, as if they contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth..."

"Some immortal herbs, on the other hand, bloom with a strange nine-colored glow, the nine colors intertwined, dazzling and magnificent..."

Upon hearing this, Wan Shenglongnu's beautiful eyes widened instantly, filled with surprise and curiosity.

"what?!"

Upon hearing the news of this "Nine-Colored Glowing Immortal Herb".

The Dragon Girl of Ten Thousand Saints involuntarily leaned forward, moving closer to Xiao Chen, her cascading black hair cascading down, emitting a faint fragrance.

She was drawn to the news of the nine-colored radiant herb and couldn't wait to get closer to Xiao Chen to hear more details.

The table was small and cramped.

The female protagonist of the Halloween Dragon and the Golden Horn King sat facing each other, with less than a foot between them.

At this moment.

The Dragon Girl's pectoral muscles were as full and surging as two large grapefruits.

With her forward lean, she moved as swiftly as a rabbit.

The full curves seemed to burst through the fabric, carrying an alluring rhythm that made one's blood boil, as if extending a silent, fiery invitation to Xiao Chen.

The full curve was so close, it almost touched Xiao Chen's face.

In an instant.

Xiao Chen felt a warm breath coming towards him, mixed with a faint, alluring fragrance.

The fragrance was like an invisible hand, gently stirring his heartstrings, quite alluring...

It gave Xiao Chen the feeling of an unexpected facial cleanser.

Subsequently.

The Dragon Girl seemed to suddenly awaken from her reverie, realizing her lapse in decorum.

The Dragon Girl of Ten Thousand Saints was born with "a face as beautiful as a flower and a talent of twenty points," and her beauty was so great that the Nine-Headed Insect was willing to marry into the Dragon Palace of Ten Thousand Saints.

She was undoubtedly a rare and stunningly beautiful dragon maiden in this world.

At this moment.

Although Wan Sheng Long Nu still wore the face of "Yang Long", Xiao Chen naturally knew Wan Sheng Long Nu's true appearance.

When the two are alone, Wan Shenglongnu must act like a man in front of others, and her behavior and speech must be restrained.

But now that she was alone with Xiao Chen, her charming girlishness unconsciously came out, with a touch of shyness and liveliness, like a flower bud about to bloom.

At this moment.

The Dragon Girl blushed, her face as beautiful as the sunset, breathtakingly beautiful.

She hurriedly sat back down in her seat, her hands unconsciously adjusting her clothes, trying to hide her inner turmoil.

But her slightly trembling fingertips betrayed her unease, like a frightened fawn.

"Um……"

Wan Shenglongnu cleared her throat, feigning composure, but her voice still carried a hint of coquettishness and urgency, like a nightingale singing in a valley, clear and crisp with a touch of shyness.

She gently bit her lower lip, her pearly teeth peeking out, her beautiful eyes darting around, as she asked again:
"Um……"

"King Golden Horn, what did you just say?"

"King Golden Horn, you...you actually saw a celestial herb in the Jade Pool radiating nine-colored light?"
