After everything was successfully absorbed by Yu Ye, Yan Zhaoge nodded towards Gao Qingxuan.
Gao Qingxuan's expression was filled with excitement. She took a deep breath, extended her hand, and tapped on Yu Ye's forehead with her index finger.
Being stimulated by the sword intent of the same lineage, Yu Ye's body trembled slightly.
Then, Yu Ye, who seemed to have been in slumber for many years, slowly opened her eyes.
After the initial haziness, her gaze suddenly turned sharp and vigilant. Killing intent even overflowed from her.
Yan Zhaoge knew that before Yu Ye lost her consciousness, she and Nie Jingshen were being pursued by Zhang Buxu and the heretics. They were engaged in a life-and-death battle.
Now that she had just woken up, her consciousness and memories were still stuck at the moment of life and death.
As expected, when she saw the appearances of Yan Zhaoge, Gao Qingxuan, Long Xingquan, and the others, the killing intent within her gaze dissipated, and she regained her calmness.
Yu Ye was a little happy, but also a little confused, "Grandfather, grandmother, junior apprentice-brother Yan, uncle … you're here."
She subconsciously looked around, "Jingshen, where's Jingshen now? How is he?"
Due to her safe awakening, Yan Zhaoge and the others let out a sigh of relief, and joy appeared on their faces.
However, after hearing Yu Ye's question, everyone remained silent.
"Jingshen, he …" Yu Ye held her breath and stared at Yan Zhaoge and the others with her clear eyes.
"Little Ye, Jingshen … is still alive," said Long Xingquan softly after remaining silent for a while.
Yan Zhaoge silently turned around and left the cave manor.
Yu Ye's voice resounded from behind, "Is he alright?"
Although she seemed a little slow-witted, she sharply noticed Long Xingquan's words.
He's still alive.
Even if he's not, he's still fine.
"Jingshen is currently in the Nine Underworlds …" Long Xingquan sighed and explained everything to Yu Ye.
He told her that she had been slumbering for nearly two hundred years.
He told her everything that happened after she lost her consciousness.
Yan Zhaoge didn't know how Long Xingquan described it. He had already exited the cave manor and stood by the Green Duckweed Mountain's mountain ridge, silently looking at the desolate world.
Feng Yunsheng followed him out and stood beside him. She asked softly, "Is there any way to let Senior Sister Yu and Senior Brother Nie meet again?"
"Even if you are willing to suffer, the Nine Underworlds might not be willing," Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples.
Currently, the orthodox Daoism had already stood openly in this world. They could stand on equal footing with the Western Pure Lands, Nine Underworlds, and other forces.
Strictly speaking, they were in a slightly better situation than the demons of the Netherworld.
After all, Nine Nether was the public enemy. The reason why there was still room for maneuver was because the big shots of the other families had other plans.
This time, in the fight for the Buddha's Śarīra, the Demon Race invited the Nine Underworlds to assist them. With the help of the seawater of the Nine Underworlds' Demon Sea, they were able to destroy the Western Pure Lands' Green Lotus Flag.
If the Demon Race could cooperate with the Nine Underworlds, or rather, trade with each other for what they needed, then theoretically speaking, Yan Zhaoge and the others of Daoism would naturally be able to do the same.
The premise was that both sides could take out a bargaining chip that interested the other.
To the devils of the Nine Underworlds, Feng Yunsheng was probably the one they coveted the Dao Sect the most.
If Feng Yunsheng joined the devilish dao, it would naturally be the Nine Underworlds' happiest.
When Yan Zhaoge said that Feng Yunsheng would be wronged, he naturally wasn't referring to watching her join the devilish dao.
Instead, it might harm the authority she inherited from the Doomsday Heavenly Devil.
However, fortune and misfortune came hand in hand. This might also contain a chance for Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng, and the others to further infiltrate the Nine Underworlds and figure out their next move.
Regarding this, the Nine Underworlds would naturally have to be wary of Yan Zhaoge and the others secretly harboring malicious intentions.
In fact, if they really wanted to make such a deal, Yan Zhaoge and the others would definitely not let go of the chance. Only, they would have to bear some risks.
That was another kind of game, competition, and competition.
The Nine Underworlds might not be willing to take such a risk.
"If they don't dare to, it might not only be because they're afraid that I'll see through them. It might also be because senior apprentice-brother Nie's condition is truly unstable. They're afraid that senior apprentice-brother Nie would come into contact with senior apprentice-sister Yu and affect senior apprentice-brother Nie." Feng Yunsheng said, "We can propose a deal to test their attitude."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "It's worth a try. Still, to be safe, let's take a look at senior apprentice-sister Yu's situation first."
He sighed, "I hope that senior apprentice-sister Yu won't blame herself for senior apprentice-brother Nie's matter. If such thoughts run too deep and cannot be resolved, we should instead try our best to prevent her from coming into contact with the devilish dao."
It was not just desire, greed, viciousness, hatred, and other evil thoughts. Overly stubborn thoughts, if they continued to deepen, could also form devilish thoughts, ultimately leading one to fall to the dark side.
Generally speaking, those with high cultivation bases would have stable mental states and firm wills.
However, conversely, they could also be said to be more stubborn and persistent. Once a certain belief was formed, it would be harder for it to be shaken.
It was not that people could not have stubborn thoughts or evil thoughts.
However, the control of one's limits had always been a test.
Heart devils existed everywhere. Theoretically speaking, it had nothing to do with one's cultivation base. At most, it was just a matter of probability.
Otherwise, Traveling Monk Sun's heart devil would not have manifested in the form of the Six-Eared Macaque whose cultivation base was the same as his, while the Yellow Dragon Cultivated Deity had fallen to the dark side and become the Yellow Dragon Devil Lord.
Such negative examples were too numerous to enumerate.
Of course, there were also positive examples. To a certain extent, the Three Clear Lineage's successors who had experienced the darkest era after the Great Calamity could still maintain their hearts despite facing such a difficult and despairing environment. They could all be considered as positive examples.
They were once glorious, but had fallen to the bottom of the abyss. Under such a huge drop, negative emotions such as self-pity, resentment, hatred, numbness, and despair would easily arise.
In fact, there were indeed many people who had fallen to the devilish dao and became a part of the Nine Underworlds.
"I believe that senior apprentice-sister Yu wouldn't," said Feng Yunsheng.
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Indeed."
"In the end, that Buddha's Śarīra still fell into the hands of the Demon Race." Feng Yunsheng changed the topic, "Mahamayuri might very well help the Demon Race after this."
When Yan Zhaoge went to look for the Kui Wood Wolf, the fight for the Buddha's Śarīra finally came to an end.
The Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles made use of his speed advantage to avoid the battle and successfully escaped back to the Astro Mountains Starry Seas before Mahamayuri could capture him.
Mahamayuri could only stop helplessly.
No matter how unwilling he was, Kong Xuan had no way of snatching the Buddha's Śarīra in front of the Eastern Monarch Taiyi.
Unless he had clearly pledged his allegiance to the Demon Race, which was far more thorough than his allegiance to the Western Pure Lands, only then would the Eastern Monarch Taiyi give him the Buddha's Śarīra.
Now that he didn't succeed, he could only wait for another chance in the future and continue being a super mercenary.
