"I'll need to rely on Master and all my senior uncles to take care of the new sect rules during my absence."
Golden Spirit Saint Mother quietly nodded.
She knew that with Yu Yuan's current Dao Xing, there were few in the Three Realms who could pose a threat to him, hence she no longer insisted on accompanying him.
After all, she was still only a Daluo Golden Immortal.
To her, the most important thing right now was to use the Enlightenment Tea and Bodhi Seed gifted by Yu Yuan, to diligently comprehend the Dao and strive to attain the Primordial Dao Fruit before danger arrives.
Thus, she would not become a hindrance.
Zhao Gongming solemnly stated, "Nephew, rest assured, with several of us here, those fellows won't be able to stir up any major trouble!"
Qiu Shou Immortal and others also showed full confidence, assuring Yu Yuan there was no need for concern.
Yu Yuan slightly nodded, bowed to his Master and the senior uncles, and then boarded the Chasing Sun Chariot that had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
"Drive!"
Moments later, as Ao Yi shouted, nine thousand-mile-long Dragon Souls condensed from ethereal to tangible, reborn in flesh, and enveloped in golden flames, then exerted force together, pulling the palatial huge chariot turning it into a streak of golden light that disappeared into the horizon, heading towards Tang Valley.
The East Sea Sea Eye was located southeast of Tang Valley.
Different from ordinary sea regions, the area where the Sea Eye was situated had a strange tranquility; a breeze blew over the pitch-black sea water, which failed to stir up even a slight ripple.
Yu Yuan rode the Chasing Sun Chariot to above the Sea Eye.
Looking down, he saw the scorching sun's rays pierced through the light clouds to scatter across the churning sea surface, and a gigantic vortex appeared in his sight, like a bottomless abyss endlessly swallowing the sea water.
The diameter of this vortex was hundreds of thousands of miles, its interior pitch-black and bottomless.
Undoubtedly, this vortex was the East Sea Sea Eye.
Legends say that this sea eye devours the East Sea Water year after year, and every thousand years, it erupts once, spewing out all the previously swallowed East Sea Water, forming currents connecting the Four Seas.
Inside the sea eye was dark and gloomy, eerily silent, with no sight of the blue sky above or the earth below.
All around was pitch-black, an empty expanse.
There was nothing here.
Even the Qi of Heaven and Earth was absent.
It was impossible to cultivate in the Sea Eye.
In such a situation, it was easy to feel loneliness and oppression.
Yu Yuan personally entered the Sea Eye, to lift the seal suppressing Virochana Immortal.
"What are you going to do?!"
Seeing Yu Yuan, Virochana Immortal immediately took two steps back in nervousness, trying to remain composed, "Isn't it enough to have me suppressed in the Sea Eye, you must utterly annihilate me?"
Yu Yuan ignored him, just incanted a spell, and three Golden Hoops without any warning were placed on Virochana Immortal's head, neck, and waist.
"How could the Tightening Three Hoops be in your hands?"
Virochana Immortal knew these three hoops, having once been brothers with the Golden Hoop Immortal.
His expression immediately changed, full of panic and confusion.
"Although you recognize this treasure, you probably haven't tasted its effects, have you?" Yu Yuan said with a smile, "Don't worry, you'll experience how it feels now."
Virochana Immortal: ∑(O_O;)
Who would want to taste this?
But before he could speak, Yu Yuan's lips moved slightly, chanting words quietly.
In that moment, Virochana Immortal felt the three Golden Hoops around his head, neck, and waist suddenly tighten fiercely, the intense pain as if countless steel needles were directly piercing into his brain and bone marrow.
Despite his profound Dao Xing, he couldn't endure it; the pain made him cry out, desperately trying to pull off the three hoops.
But those three Golden Hoops seemed to have taken root in his flesh, neither removable nor tearable.
Although the three Golden Hoops each had different effects, they all rooted in flesh, and the longer the incantation was chanted, the tighter they squeezed, causing Virochana Immortal, with his brain boiling, to scream uncontrollably:
"Stop chanting! Stop chanting!"
"It was all my fault before, please forgive my offenses, stop reciting those spells..."
Yu Yuan paid no heed and recited the Golden, Tightening, Banning spells ninety-nine times each.
Virochana Immortal grimaced in agony, screaming and wailing to the heavens, unable to help but transform into an immense golden giant bird with three claws.
At a glance, his body spanned thousands of miles in width, his wings covered the skies, and his angry roars surrounded by the burning Taiyang Fire made him akin to a sun, terribly formidable.
He endured the deep pain into his Primordial Spirit, hoping to use his innate Taiyang Fire to melt those three Golden Hoops.
However, those three Golden Hoops gleamed with a faint golden light, completely unharmed amidst the Taiyang Fire.
Indestructibly solid!
This was the divine prowess of the Golden character in the Golden, Tightening, Banning spells.
Under the blessing of the Golden spell, "Immortality" was added to the three Golden Hoops.
Unless the enemy's Dao Xing far surpassed the caster, it would be impossible to break the Golden Hoops.
After Yu Yuan fully recited the Golden, Tightening, Banning spells ninety-nine times, Virochana Immortal had painfully died three times and lay paralyzed, unable to move.
At this point, Yu Yuan finally briefly explained the situation to him, then asked softly, "Unexpectedly, someone was willing to oppose the Jie Sect to save you!
You should know who this person is, right?"
While speaking, he closely watched the changes in Virochana Immortal's expression.
But in Virochana Immortal's eyes, besides surprise, there was only confusion and doubt, seemingly unable to believe someone would risk coming to his rescue.
Yu Yuan then recited the Tightening spell, causing Virochana Immortal to roll on the ground in pain.
A moment later, Yu Yuan stopped and looked at him, asking, "Have you figured it out?"
Virochana Immortal, who had profoundly experienced the meaning of being "meat on the chopping board," said with difficulty, "If my late mother were still alive, perhaps it would be her coming to my rescue… But she perished along with my father when the Demon Court fell."
Yu Yuan's gaze slightly sharpened, thinking that this scoundrel likely didn't know that his father had left behind a contingency plan.
But that made sense, as the last Crown Prince of the Demon Clan from the era of the Demon Court's downfall was still young, and such crucial arrangements naturally wouldn't be disclosed to him.
At this moment, seeing Yu Yuan silent, Virochana Immortal worried his answer hadn't satisfied him, hurriedly continued, "Now that my Demon Clan is in such decline, aside from the Bai Ze Demon Saint having the capability, I can't think of anyone else!
But since the fall of the Demon Court, Bai Ze Demon Saint never contacted me again and even defected to the Human Race, offering the Myriad Demon Chart to the Human Emperor to eliminate his own karma!
How could such a traitor to the Demon Clan risk coming to rescue me?"
Yu Yuan inwardly smirked.
He had witnessed the loyalty of Bai Ze Demon Saint to the Demon Emperor himself.
The reason for not contacting Virochana Immortal was probably to avoid exposing his true identity, and offering the Myriad Demon Chart was also part of the plot to facilitate the return of the Demon Emperor in secret.
Such well-intentioned efforts had been misunderstood by Virochana Immortal as traitorous actions.
If Bai Ze Demon Saint knew about this situation, would he be heartbroken or simply laugh it off?
Yu Yuan would not clarify this matter, reached out to pick up Virochana Immortal, who had reverted to his human form and was limp like a pile of mud, and tossed him into the Chasing Sun Chariot, then ordered Ao Yi to set off.
The Chasing Sun Chariot, driven by nine Divine Dragons, sped voraciously.
However, Yu Yuan still found it slow, directly smashed the space with a punch, allowing the Chasing Sun Chariot to travel through a dark spatial rift, and within moments they had already reached the Northern Continent.
The Chasing Sun Chariot stopped ten thousand miles from Emperor Mountain.
Yu Yuan got off the Chasing Sun Chariot and looked at Ao Yi, saying, "Take him to Emperor Mountain, and do everything as I have previously instructed! I will wait here; if there are any issues, I will arrive immediately!"
The Jade Scroll had mentioned that Ao Yi must bring Virochana Immortal to Emperor Mountain alone, otherwise, they would not meet Huo Ling'er and the others.
Given that Yu Yuan didn't know the other party's true intentions, he did not want to take any risks and could only temporarily comply with their demands.
Ao Yi also knew the importance of his mission, took a deep breath, nodded firmly, and said, "Rest assured, master, I will go at once!"
After that, the Chasing Sun Chariot turned into a golden light, rushing towards Emperor Mountain.
Only then did Virochana Immortal sincerely heave a sigh of relief in the cabin, nervously and curiously looking forward to learning about the identity of the person who dared to rescue him.
What he didn't notice, though, was that a tiny broken bell had silently landed on him.
