Under Ling 'er's guidance, Xiao Lingyu quickly found the small island.
The island wasn't big, and there were only three small hills that were glowing with fire. The heavily injured Heavenly Star Beast was lying in the middle of the three hills.
Ling 'er wasn't mistaken. This Heavenly Star Beast was a glutton, and it looked like it was heavily injured.
Previously, the foodie had been with the elite Heavenly Star Beast army. When the powerful shockwave had erupted on the Evil Spirit Island, it had been there as well. Therefore, even though it had an extremely strong physical defense, it had still suffered a heavy blow. If it were not for its strong physical defense, it would have been killed on the Evil Spirit Island like the other Heavenly Star Beasts.
Although it was heavily injured, the glutton was very cautious. When it sensed a cultivator approaching, it immediately dragged its heavily injured body to stand up. When it saw Xiao Lingyu flying over, it let out a few low cries before falling back down in exhaustion.
Looking at the gruesome wounds on the glutton's body and its tired face, Xiao Lingyu felt a bit of heartache. After all, the glutton had been with him for so many years and had helped him countless times. He still had some feelings for it.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Lingyu took out a few Extreme Star Beast corpses and threw them to the glutton's mouth.
The foodie first looked at Xiao Lingyu, then started to gobble up the corpses of the Heavenly Star Beasts.
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment, then threw over a few healing pills and a bottle of light green liquid.
The glutton didn't hold back and swallowed the pills and the green liquid. Seeing how it didn't hesitate, it was clear that it wasn't wary of Xiao Lingyu at all.
"Are you back?"
After the glutton's injuries were stabilized, Xiao Lingyu asked.
The glutton looked up in shock and stared at Xiao Lingyu for a long time. Then, it lowered its head and shook it a few times.
Its expression was very complicated. Even Xiao Lingyu couldn't understand the meaning behind it.
"Take care."
Xiao Lingyu didn't say anything else and immediately flew away.
To be honest, he had already regretted saying the words "Are you coming back?". Perhaps the foodie had seen through his thoughts, so she shook her head and refused.
If the foodie really came back, Xiao Lingyu wouldn't be able to trust it wholeheartedly and wouldn't dare to help it improve. It would be better if they weren't together.
Worried that she would hesitate again, Xiao Lingyu decided to leave. If they were really fated, they would meet again sooner or later.
After the Heavenly Star Beast Tide retreated from the Devil Abyss, they no longer attacked the Evil Spirit Island. As a result, no more treasures appeared on the Evil Spirit Island. The experts from the Realm of Immortals that gathered near the entrance of the Devil Abyss also retreated. However, they all retreated to the new city that wasn't severely damaged and stabilized the city's defensive array.
Due to the destruction of the Evil Spirit Island's forbidden array by the Heavenly Star Beast Tide, Xiao Lingyu did not dare to let her family stay in the Demon Abyss for too long. Therefore, she brought her family and Xiao Wei out of the Demon Abyss.
After asking Ling 'er to find out more about the new city, she brought everyone back to the new city and returned to the Xiao Family's courtyard that was almost in ruins.
Rebuilding the Xiao Clan's main courtyard and side courtyard wasn't a difficult matter, and it only took two hours. A brand-new and similarly magnificent mansion rose from the ground.
In the tens of thousands of years in the Demon Abyss, most of Xiao Wei had successfully reached the Extreme Astral Realm. Even the remaining half was about to reach the Extreme Astral Realm.
As for Xiao Lingyu, she still hadn't reached the Extreme Astral Realm. However, she was almost there.
As for Xiao Lingyu's six children, they had also made considerable progress. All of them had reached the Nirvana Soul Realm and had grown to look like thirteen or fourteen years old youths. The boys were all handsome, and the girls were naturally as beautiful as their mother.
Xiao Lingyu set up formations to gather the Lunar Sun Energy and Star Energy in the various cultivation grounds of the Xiao Family. Then, she repaired the destroyed teleportation formation and the forbidden array left behind by Big Sister Gu. Only then did Xiao Lingyu return to her cultivation.
After a few more years, Xiao Wei's children finally all reached the Extreme Astral Realm with the help of the Heavenly Star Beast Life Pearl and the Starlight Demonic Flame.
Now, the Xiao Family had more than a hundred Extreme Astral Realm experts. They could be considered a major power in the World of Immortals. Their overall strength was inferior to the four major powers. However, if the four major powers did not use most of their strength, they would not be able to easily defeat the Xiao Family.
Xiao Lingyu still hadn't reached the Extreme Astral Realm, but the Howling Celestial Dog had suddenly returned.
"I hid in the depths of the Heavenly Star Forest for many years and never had a chance to make a move. However, tens of thousands of years ago, Beastmaster suddenly left the Heavenly Star Forest with the elite Heavenly Star Beasts. That gave me the chance to make a move. It allowed me to complete the last mission that old bastard Hong Jun gave me."
The Howling Celestial Dog seemed to be happier. It continued, "However, when I returned, I was rather unlucky to encounter Beastmaster. Fortunately, that guy seemed to be quite injured. When he saw me, he did not stop and directly flew over my head."
"I heard that Beastmaster had been fighting with Sun Wukong. He was probably injured by Sun Wukong," Xiao Lingyu replied.
At the same time, he understood why the Heavenly Star Beasts retreated to the Heavenly Star Forest. Being heavily injured in the Demonic Abyss was only one reason. Their Beastmaster's injuries were probably the most important reason for their retreat.
"That's possible. That damn monkey seemed to have improved a lot after returning from the Ancient Path of Stars. Since it's back, it naturally has to have the strength to deal with Beastmaster. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for it to come down." The Howling Celestial Dog nodded.
"Senior, you came back this time to remove the master relationship, right?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"That's right. I've completed the mission. I have to go to the Ancient Path of Stars to find my master."
The Howling Celestial Dog opened its mouth and spat out a bone with countless cracks. It then said, "I stole this from the Heavenly Star Forest. Don't be fooled by its ordinary appearance. It looks like it will break at any time. In fact, it's a genuine bone of Haotian. If you want to enter the Haotian ruins, you have to have it open the door for you. Alright, you can remove the master relationship. "
Xiao Lingyu first looked at the bone in surprise. Then, with a surge of thoughts, he removed the master relationship between himself and the Howling Celestial Dog.
"I'm leaving. I wish you good luck." The Howling Celestial Dog stood up.
"I also wish Senior good luck on the Ancient Path of Stars." Xiao Lingyu sincerely clasped his fists.
"Most likely I'll die. It doesn't matter if I'm lucky or not. What's important is that I can't be abandoned by my master."
The Howling Celestial Dog waved its paw indifferently. Then, it left the Xiao Family Courtyard. It still did not let Xiao Lingyu send it off. It ran towards the gate of the new city.
Less than three months after the Howling Celestial Dog left, Great Sage Sun came to the Xiao Family Courtyard again.
Great Sage Sun, who used to be in his prime and incomparably arrogant, looked a little withered at the moment. His armor was tattered, and even his Ruyi Jingu Bang looked bent.
"That Beast King is really powerful. I thought I could beat it this time. I didn't expect that I, Old Sun, would have improved so much. I could only fight with it until both sides were injured. If it was in the past, I, Old Sun, would not last more than a hundred moves. Its Beast King's Scepter is actually stronger than Old Sun's Ruyi Jingu Bang!"
After seeing Xiao Lingyu, Great Sage Sun sat on a large green rock in the courtyard and shook his head. He was very dissatisfied.
Xiao Lingyu stood silently at the side and did not make a sound.
Great Sage Sun asked, "That girl with the surname Gu still went to the Ancient Path of Stars?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded.
"What a pity. If she was still here, she could have helped Old Sun."
Great Sage Sun said gloomily, "The Beast King was just beaten back, and it seems like the Evil Spirit Demon Lord is about to come out again. I, Old Sun, should not have listened to the Hong Jun Ancestor and killed my way back from the Ancient Path of Stars. The Heavenly Star Beast Tide is really stupid. Of all places, they just had to go to the Demon Abyss and Hell to destroy the seal on Evil Spirit Island! "
"The Heavenly Star Beast Tide also suffered heavy losses on Evil Spirit Island. Close to 1,000 Extreme Star Realm Heavenly Star Beasts were killed on the spot," Xiao Lingyu continued.
The other cultivators probably did not know about this news.
"Oh?"
Great Sage Sun was a little surprised. Then, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. In this way, the Heavenly Star Beasts in the Heavenly Star Forest are about the same as the Heavenly Star Realm cultivators in the Immortal Realm. The next time the Heavenly Star Beast Tide erupts, the pressure on the Immortal Realm will be much less."
"When will the next Heavenly Star Beast Tide erupt?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"It will be a long time. However, with this accident, Beastmaster will probably bring the Heavenly Star Beast Tide back again after he recovers from his injuries."
Great Sage Sun replied with uncertainty. Then, he said with dissatisfaction, "Kid, although you have improved a lot, why haven't you reached the Extreme Star Realm?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled bitterly and replied, "Soon. I will definitely advance in ten thousand years."
Great Sage Sun said, "This Heavenly Star Beast Tide erupting early, is it related to you?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, "It's very likely."
Great Sage Sun gloated and said, "Hong Jun Ancestor was right. This time, you are targeted by Beastmaster and really got yourself into big trouble. If you don't go to the Haotian Ruins before Beastmaster recovers from his injuries, I'm afraid you and your family will not have a good time. You don't have to count on me anymore. If the Evil Spirit Demon Lord comes out, I will have to do my best to deal with it. The Heavenly Star Beast King has always been relatively restrained. It doesn't really hate the cultivators of the World of Immortals, and it also doesn't have too deep of a grudge with us from Earth. However, that Evil Spirit Demon Lord has been sealed by the experts of our Earth. If it comes out, it will definitely cause a reign of terror in the World of Immortals. "
Xiao Lingyu replied, "I have already worked very hard."
Great Sage Sun asked again, "Do you have the key to open the gate of the Haotian Ruins?"
Xiao Lingyu took out the bone that the Howling Celestial Dog called the Bone of Haotian and asked, "Is Great Sage referring to this?"
Great Sage Sun took the bone and looked at it again and again, and said, "Yes, it is the Bone of Haotian. With it, you can enter the Haotian Ruins smoothly, but you better go quickly."
"I will try my best." Xiao Lingyu said.
He had no choice but to try his best. The situation had already become like this. He couldn't just sit and wait for death, right?
"Kid, you should have a lot of medicinal pills. Give me some. It's not that I am greedy, but I need these medicinal pills to heal quickly." Great Sage Sun then said.
After taking a lot of medicinal pills and two bottles of light green liquid from Xiao Lingyu, Great Sage Sun left again.
