Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

After bidding farewell to Elder Tianji, Zhu Feifei did not linger for a moment. He had only one thought in his mind: to return to Qingyun Sect as soon as possible, find the Pure World Pearl, and save Zhu Yue'er.

He traveled day and night, flying on his sword, and finally returned to the Qingyun Sect a few days later.

Upon returning to Zixia Peak, Zhu Feifei couldn't wait to find Fairy Zixia, Zhu Yue'er.

However, he was met with heartbreaking news: Fairy Zixia, Zhu Yue'er, had lost control of her demonic nature and had even injured several disciples who came to dissuade her. Now, she was sealed in a room on Zixia Peak by Daoist Qingxu using an array, and no one was allowed to approach her.

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Feifei was struck dumb. The image of Zixia Fairy Zhu Yue'er struggling in pain kept flashing through his mind, and his heart was filled with self-blame and worry.

"It's all my fault! If I had found the Purifying Pearl sooner, Yue'er wouldn't have ended up like this!" He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. "I must enter the forbidden area, find the Purifying Pearl, and rescue Yue'er!"

He found Fairy Zixia in the side room and told her about the Heavenly Mystery Elder's words and the treasure map, hoping to get her help.

"I know the forbidden area of ​​Qingyun Sect is fraught with danger, but for your sake, I must go!" Zhu Feifei knelt before Fairy Zixia and pleaded.

Looking at her disciple, who was so infatuated with love, Fairy Zixia felt a mix of emotions. She knew all too well the dangers of the forbidden area; it not only contained powerful formations and restrictions, but also sealed the essence of the Qingyun Sect's past leaders. A single misstep could result in the annihilation of one's soul.

"No! I absolutely cannot let you take such a risk!" Fairy Zixia resolutely refused. "No one is allowed to trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the Qingyun Sect, let alone you now..." She paused, not continuing, but her eyes were filled with worry.

"Are you sure you want to do this? Forbidden area... that's forbidden area..." Fairy Zixia Zhu Yue'er's beautiful eyes were full of worry.

"I'm willing to go through fire and water for you," Zhu Feifei said firmly, but her eyes held a hint of heaviness.

Ever since learning from the Celestial Elder that breaking the "Nine Netherworld Demon Art" required the Purifying Spirit Pearl, Zhu Feifei has been unable to calm down for a moment.

He searched through all the records of the Qingyun Sect and finally found a record about the Purifying Spirit Pearl in an ancient book: Legend has it that the founder of the Qingyun Sect once obtained this treasure and brought it into the forbidden area to suppress the demonic energy leaking from the rift in the demon realm.

He knew that trespassing on forbidden territory was a capital offense, but he couldn't care less. To save his beloved Zhu Yue'er, he was willing to pay any price, even his own life.

"You idiot, are you crazy? The forbidden area of ​​the Qingyun Sect is no joke! It's where the souls of past sect leaders are sealed. If you trespass, they'll tear you to pieces!" The voice of the spirit Xiaobai echoed in Zhu Feifei's mind, filled with terror.

"I know, but I have no other choice." Zhu Feifei's eyes were resolute. "For Yue'er's sake, I must go!"

Fairy Zixia fell silent. Looking into Zhu Feifei's determined eyes, she knew in her heart that no matter how she tried to dissuade him, he would not give up.

"Alright, I can help you." Fairy Zixia finally agreed, "But you must promise me that you will be careful in everything you do and never act recklessly."

"Let's not delay, let's set off now," said Fairy Zixia.

Fairy Zixia broke through the formation and arrived at the forbidden area behind the mountain with Zhu Feifei. From afar, they could see an ancient altar standing in the valley, surrounded by a faint golden light, which was obviously the power of a powerful formation.

"Wait here for me, I'll go distract the guard elder," said Fairy Zixia.

"Be careful!" Zhu Feifei said worriedly.

Fairy Zixia nodded, then transformed into a streak of purple light and flew towards the direction of the guarding elder.

Zhu Feifei watched Zixia Fairy's departing figure, took a deep breath, then turned around and walked towards the altar.

"Sigh, I just can't do anything with you." Little White Ringwraith sighed. "Fine, since you've made up your mind, I'll go crazy with you this once! But you have to promise me you'll be careful and don't overexert yourself."

As night fell, the entire Qingyun Sect was enveloped in tranquility.

The forbidden area is located at the deepest part of Zixia Peak, where clouds and mist linger all year round, and it is rarely visited by people. Legend has it that it is the origin of the Qingyun Sect and a place that seals countless secrets.

Zhu Feifei arrived at the entrance to the forbidden area and saw two towering stone tablets standing between the valleys, with the words "Those who trespass into the forbidden area shall die!" engraved on them. The eight large characters exuded a chilling aura, making people shudder.

He took a deep breath, held the nine-bead bracelet in his hand, and then stepped into the forbidden area.

As soon as Zhu Feifei stepped into the forbidden area, he felt a powerful sense of oppression, as if the surrounding air had become heavy. He looked up and saw towering ancient trees that blocked out the sun, with vines intertwined like giant pythons wrapped around the trunks. A cold wind blew, making the leaves rustle, as if they were howling ghosts.

"This place... is truly eerie and terrifying..." Zhu Feifei couldn't help but shudder. "Xiao Bai, can you sense the aura of the Purifying Spirit Pearl?"

"No." The Ringwraith's voice also turned serious. "The aura in this forbidden area is too chaotic; I can't accurately sense the location of the Purifying Spirit Pearl. You'll have to rely on yourself."

Zhu Feifei nodded and walked forward cautiously, constantly alert to his surroundings.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a loud bang came from ahead. Zhu Feifei quickly hid behind a big tree. A golden light descended from the sky and struck the spot where he had just been standing, blasting a huge crater in the ground.

"This is... a formation attack!" Zhu Feifei exclaimed in surprise. "It seems this forbidden area is even more dangerous than I imagined!"

He carefully observed his surroundings and discovered that the ground was engraved with many intricate runes that emitted a faint light, clearly indicating some kind of powerful formation.

"Xiaobai, can you tell what kind of formation this is?" Zhu Feifei asked.

"This is the 'Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation,' a powerful formation passed down from ancient times, with boundless power," said the Ring Spirit Little White. "You must be careful, otherwise, once trapped within the formation, it will be very difficult to escape."

Zhu Feifei took a deep breath and activated the "Eye of Truth" supernatural power of the nine-bead bracelet to its fullest extent, attempting to see through the illusion and reality of the formation.

In his eyes, the runes that were originally obscure and difficult to understand now became clear and visible. He began to understand the operating rules of the formation and searched for a way to break it.

"Found it!" Zhu Feifei was overjoyed. He discovered that the array's core was located on a boulder directly in front of him.

He carefully avoided the other runes, came to the boulder, and then poured his true energy into the nine-bead bracelet, sending a golden light towards the boulder.

"boom!"

The boulder was struck by the golden light and shattered into pieces, causing the formation to collapse.

"That was close!" Zhu Feifei breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily I had the nine-bead bracelet, otherwise I would have been in deep trouble."
