The grass in the factory should be plucked

The chaotic void has no distinction between heaven and earth, only boundless gray mist and drifting stardust, and from time to time, one can encounter violent void turbulence.

Xie Chang'an spread out his divine sense, carefully exploring the deathly silence.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he exclaimed, "Tai Xu, head in that direction!"

"okay!"

Taixu also noticed that a colossal object was silently floating deep within the mist ahead.

"Wow, if only this were a meteorite, it would be enough for the little one to eat for a while!"

Taixu was very excited and sped away.

Xie Chang'an felt a vague unease. The aura emanating from ahead carried a sense of decay and death, and it felt somewhat familiar, as if...

As they passed through layers of mist, the scene before them suddenly became clear, and the previously excited and jubilant Taixu instantly fell silent.

A colossal creature lay silently in the chaos, its body resembling a mountain range stretching for thousands of miles, its fur a dull, grayish-black color, covered with fine cracks.

Its massive head hung low, its eyes tightly closed, and its claws, which could once traverse the void, now hung stiffly, its life force long since extinguished.

This is a fully grown Void Beast!

Taixu stammered, "This is..."

Xie Chang'an sighed and transmitted his voice, "Little Tanuki, let Kongkong come out."

Upon hearing his telepathic message, Jiang Li frowned slightly, looking at Kong Kong rolling carefree on the ground with eyes full of pity and heartache.

“Kongkong,” she whispered, “Brother Chang’an and the others may have found your mother.”

Kongkong jumped up in a flash, excitedly asking, "Brother found Mother?"

"Ah."

Jiang Li gently stroked his big head, "You need to be prepared, your mother..."

Kongkong froze, his beady eyes instantly filling with tears.

He hung his head, "Sister, I know, Mother died a long time ago!"

His mother transferred all her cultivation to him, how could he survive in the void?

Jiang Li held him in her arms and whispered, "Your mother only hopes that you will live well."

"Uh-huh!"

Kongkong nodded vigorously, and large tears fell to the ground one by one.

"Go on, say goodbye to your mother properly."

Xie Chang'an and Taixu silently guarded the enormous void beast. The mother beast's body was covered with wounds from attacks, and the remaining spiritual energy was mixed and violent. It was clear that she had been hunted and had desperately fled here, eventually dying from exhaustion.

It seems that Kongkong was able to survive by sheer luck because the mother beast hid her cub in a secret spatial rift at the last moment, transferred all her cultivation to him, and then used herself as bait to lure away the pursuers.

There was a dark hole in her abdomen; clearly, her demon core had been removed.

The demon core of a Void Beast is a priceless treasure in the cultivation world, possessing powerful spatial energy. It is the core material and foundation for refining a Void Spirit Boat, enabling the boat to tear through the void and traverse the starry sea without being eroded by turbulent currents.

It can also be used to comprehend the laws of space, condense spatial supernatural powers, refine high-level spatial teleportation arrays, break through various spatial confinements and mazes, and tear through space to escape at the critical moment of life and death. It is a life-saving and enlightenment treasure that countless cultivators dream of.

If this void beast hadn't been so enormous, its corpse might have been taken away as well.

An empty figure suddenly appeared, transforming into a black shadow, and pounced in front of the giant corpse. Its large head rubbed against the cold, stiff beast body, and its claws gently scratched at the mother's face, as if trying to wake her up.

The mournful cries echoed in the empty void, making Xie Chang'an and Taixu's hearts tighten.

Xie Chang'an used his divine sense to comfort the grieving cub, his voice gentle yet firm: "Kongkong, don't be sad. Your mother protected you so that you could live well. From now on, we will always be with you."

Taixu comforted him, saying, "Yes, Kongkong, tell your mother not to worry. Now you have a new family. We will definitely love and take good care of you and never let anyone bully you!"

Kongkong looked up, tears welling in his eyes, and rubbed his face against the two sword lights. He then leaned his big head against the Taixu Sword, causing it to stumble and almost lose control.

"Kongkong thanks Brother Chonghua and Brother Taixu."

He now truly acknowledges these two "family members," especially Brother Taixu, whose true form is Void Meteorite Iron, also born from the void, which gives him a sense of blood connection.

Taixu is Kongkong's biological brother!

Xie Chang'an pondered for a moment, then retrieved a Xuan Kong Stone from the treasure vault of the Tai Xu small space. This kind of spiritual stone is generally used to refine storage magic treasures and is quite expensive on the market.

He raised his hand and formed a hand seal, his spiritual energy surging around him. Using this Xuan Kong Stone, he created a stable little space in the chaos.

"Let this small space serve as a place for your mother to rest."

He used his divine sense to support the enormous corpse of the Void Beast and slowly sent it into that small space.

He then used sword talismans to set up a deadly array and a concealment array outside the small space to prevent cultivators or strange beasts from disturbing the Void Mother Beast's slumbering place.

Sobbing, Kongkong knelt before his mother's grave and kowtowed several times. "Mother, Kongkong is leaving now. Kongkong will come to see you again in the future!"

Taixu, carrying Kongkong, circled the small space with Xie Chang'an to pay tribute to this great mother, before breaking through the void and flying away into the distance.

In the small space, Jiang Li looked at Kong Kong's sleeping face, which still had tears in his eyes but was gradually becoming peaceful, and gently covered him with a small blanket.

Xie Chang'an said, "It's getting late, let's go back to the Dragon Palace first, and go to the Western Sea tomorrow."

"Okay." Jiang Li nodded.

She was also worried about the eggs left in the Dragon Palace. Although they were being watched over by Little Vine and had a few spiritual plants such as Gold-Eating Grass and Fire Lotus, their combat power was practically zero in the Demon Realm.

After waking up, Kongkong found himself in a different place.

"Wow--"

His little eyes widened in surprise. Was this the fairyland from his mother's story?

The crystal-clear walls refracted a rainbow of light, and a pearl curtain over ten feet long hung from the connecting corridor, shimmering with a lustrous glow.

On the jade shelves on both sides, palace lanterns made of strings of luminous pearls were hung, illuminating the hall as bright as day.

The floor was covered with a soft carpet, the royal blue velvet surface embroidered with surging waves in gold thread, and it felt as soft as a cloud when you stepped on it.

Kongkong felt as if she were in a crystal dream world, full of dazzling light and breathtaking beauty.

Poor child, who has always lived in a void, has never seen such celestial phenomena.

He was stunned and speechless with shock.

Jiang Li walked in with the Rejuvenating Vine, looked at the dumbfounded Kong Kong, and chuckled, "Kong Kong, welcome to the Crystal Palace."

"Crystal Palace?"

Kongkong jumped off the jade bed, excitedly looking around and touching the crystal-clear wall. "Is this all made of crystal?"

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Yes, isn't it beautiful? Does Kongkong like it here?"

"I love it! I love it so much!"

He laughed heartily as he moved through the long pearl curtains and even rolled around a few times on the soft, thick carpet.
