The chubby little boy's entire body was sprawled on the boulder. His feet were stepping on a slightly protruding part of the boulder, and his body was more than ten meters above the ground. It was hard to imagine how such a small child could stand on his own.
It was very difficult for him to imagine how hard it was for him to climb up so high.
At this moment, the boy's foot slipped and he immediately fell off the rock. He clearly leapt in fright and subconsciously cried out, "Mother!"
Before the little boy could finish his sentence, a white figure appeared beside the little boy as if it had teleported. It reached out and held the little boy in its arms, saving the little boy from danger.
The white figure that had suddenly appeared was the Heavenly Enchantress, who sat on the rock and played her zither. However, the Zither of the Demonic Cry that never left her bosom had disappeared. It had been replaced by the chubby boy.
The Heavenly Enchantress held the boy in her arms. Her gaze toward the boy was filled with mixed feelings, as well as unconcealable affection.
"Xiao Bao, you're being naughty again. Have you forgotten what mother said to you?" The Heavenly Enchantress scolded him. She stared at the boy sternly with her enchanting eyes.
The boy was extremely lively and mischievous. He did not seem to be afraid of the Heavenly Enchantress at all. He extended his chubby, dusty arms and hugged the Heavenly Enchantress' neck. He said, "Mother, Xiao Bao is very obedient. Xiao Bao just misses mother, so I want to go up and accompany mother." With that, the boy stared at the Heavenly Enchantress with his large, gem-like eyes. He seriously said, "Mother, Xiao Bao knows that you're very unhappy, so please don't be unhappy, okay?"
The Heavenly Enchantress revealed an extremely rare expression of gentleness. She gently rubbed Xiao Bao's head as she sighed deeply inside. She was filled with bitterness.
At this moment, three figures flew over from afar. They arrived near the Heavenly Enchantress in the end. They were Qin Qin, Xiao Qian, and Xiao Yue.
Now, Qin Qin's temperament had changed a lot compared to a few years ago, adding a refined temperament to her body.
It was as if he had already transcended the mortal world and distanced himself from the mortal world.
Qin Qin had comprehended the Heavenly Sounds with the Heavenly Enchantress' assistance, formally embarking on this unique path of cultivation. The past few years had not allowed her to increase her strength by much. Her overall strength was not even at the level of an Earth Saint Master. She could only fly with the assistance of Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue.
"Mother, Mother, look! Big Sister Qinqin, Big Sister Xiaoqian, Big Sister Xiaoyue are back!" Xiao Bao immediately cried out in excitement as he was hugged by the Heavenly Enchantress. He broke free from her embrace and happily ran toward the three of them.
"Big Sister Qin Qin, give me a hug!" Xiao Bao walked up to Qin Qin and stretched out his arms.
Qin Qin hugged Xiao Bao lovingly while Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue came over as well. They giggled as they played with Xiao Bao. Their gazes toward Xiao Bao were filled with love and concern.
Xiao Bao's status on Three Saint Mountain was extremely special now. He had basically become the little prince, being held in the hands of Qin Qin, Xiao Qian, and Xiao Yue every day.
The relationship between the Heavenly Enchantress and Xiao Bao was only that of a foster mother in the eyes of Xiao Yue and the others.
Qin Qin carried Xiao Bao to one side to play while the Heavenly Enchantress, Xiao Qian, and Xiao Yue remained where they were. However, with Xiao Bao's departure, their smiles immediately vanished, replaced by faint worry.
"Master, we've successfully exchanged for the ten-thousand-year-old heavenly resource, the Heaven's Heart Lotus. It's said that the Heaven's Heart Lotus has wondrous effects on cultivation, so it should be useful to Xiao Bao." Xiao Qian took out a square jade box from her Space Ring and passed it to the Heavenly Enchantress.
"Master, the Heaven's Heart Lotus is just too powerful. If Xiao Bao consumes it directly, I'm afraid he won't be able to endure it. We need to refine it with a few other supplementary ingredients," said Xiao Yue.
The Heavenly Enchantress frowned in thought before nodding. She said, "Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, I'm going to the Tian Yuan Continent to find a high level alchemist to refine the Heaven's Heart Lotus. I'll leave Three Saint Island to you when I'm not here."
"Yes, master!" Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue replied together.
The Heavenly Enchantress paused before adding, "Also, you have to look after Xiao Bao well. This child always likes to run around and the mountain is dangerous, so you can't let Xiao Bao come across any danger. If anything unexpected happens, immediately contact me using a secret technique."
The Heavenly Enchantress immediately left Three Saint Island with the Heaven's Heart Lotus after giving out all her orders.
Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue stared at the Heavenly Enchantress in a daze. They both gently sighed and said, "I hope the pill refined from the Heaven's Heart Lotus can change Xiao Bao's constitution so that he can cultivate like a normal person. Otherwise, Xiao Bao's fate will be …"
"Sigh, Xiao Bao is just too pitiful. Not only did he lose his parents as soon as he was born, but he's also crippled. We've used so many thousand-year-old heavenly resources on Xiao Bao, but it's just a pity that we can't change his constitution. We've only made his body much more powerful than normal children. His body is still empty in the end. He doesn't have any Saint Force at all."
"We watched Xiao Bao grow up. Although he's not our child, he's like our own. We have to let Xiao Bao cultivate smoothly no matter what. If it really doesn't work, we might as well ask master for a hundred-thousand-year-old heavenly resource from Mercenary City."
…
An extremely large formation enveloped a pitch-black forest at the border between the Tian Yuan Continent, the Beast God Continent, and the Wasteland Continent. Black mist churned within the forest, as if serpents were roaming within. However, it also seemed like vicious demons were brandishing their claws at other times. It was a chilling sight.
All the trees and plants in this forest only had two colors: red and black. The black trees were hidden in the violently churning black fog. From afar, it looked like tall ghosts were quietly standing there. The blood-red plants emitted a demonic red light, as if they were made of blood. The ground was even more crimson, as if it was dried-up blood.
The forest enveloped by the formation was the most dangerous place on the Tian Yuan Continent, the Death Nest.
The Death Nest had been created by the greatest human expert in the past, Mo Tianyun. During the great war between the three races in ancient times, countless experts had died in battle. Mo Tianyun had used a great technique to bury all the corpses in the same place, whether it was the Holy Emperor, the Holy Emperor, or the Saint Ruler. This was where the Death Nest had appeared later.
The Death Nest was the grave of the many Holy Emperor experts of the three races. The ground there had been dyed red by the blood of the Holy Emperor. Even after countless years, the ground was still scarlet red. Even many of the plants had become demonic like blood.
