The Demon Mountain was not a specific region. Instead, it was made up of many broken ancient worlds of the universe, filled with miasma and demonic fog.
Over the years, many great demons and ancient demons from various worlds had gathered at the Demon Mountain.
Some of the demons who had once made a name for themselves had also submitted to the Demon Mountain and were ruled by the red-robed female demon.
In the current Upper World, the Demon Mountain was considered one of the top forces, excluding the Divine Nation.
There were even rumors that the Demon Mountain had a deep connection with the current ruler of the Divine Nation, Gu Changge, because he was once the Lord of All Demons.
The master of the Demon Mountain, Chan Hongyi, was Gu Changge's disciple. For some reason, the two of them had a conflict and did not get along.
However, this did not affect the status of the Demon Mountain. It could be considered a force comparable to the Gu Family and the Unparalleled Celestial Dynasty in the Upper World.
Now, as Tao Yao stepped into the Demon Mountain, monstrous waves were set off. Demonic clouds rolled, and many figures appeared in the mountain ridges surrounded by chaotic fog.
However, these silhouettes had clearly received instructions. They only glanced at Tao Yao, and then quietly disappeared.
Tao Yao walked into the depths of the Demon Mountain with a calm expression. Her speed was not fast. The vast and turbulent demonic clouds parted in front of her, revealing a path to the heavens.
In the depths of the Demon Mountain, there was a seemingly desolate mountain peak. It was not very tall.
There was a simple thatched cottage and a clear stone pool. Demonic Qi surged in all directions, but the surroundings were peaceful and peaceful.
At the top of the mountain, a red-robed figure sat cross-legged. She was extremely beautiful, with delicate features like the most flawless porcelain. Her face was the size of a palm, her eyebrows were deep, her eyes were dark, and there was a mole under the corner of her eye.
She looked at Tao Yao walking over and suddenly smiled.
This smile seemed to be able to bring disaster to the world and turn all living things upside down. It was difficult to describe all of this with words. Because of this, the sky became dazzling.
"Long time no see …"
"Old friend."
Chan Hongyi looked at Tao Yao with a coquettish smile. At this moment, she seemed to be the demon, and Tao Yao, who was walking over, had a sense of peace and holiness.
"It has indeed been a long time. I never thought that in the end, I would be the one to come and see you," Tao Yao said softly as he landed on the mountain peak.
Looking at the familiar scenery around her, she fell silent for a moment with a complicated expression.
Although Chan Hongyi hated Gu Changge to the core, this could not hide her obsession.
Otherwise, the layout of this place would not be exactly the same as the previous mountain.
"I didn't expect you to come and see me."
Chan Hongyi said with a smile. She seemed very calm at this moment, and there was no trace of the previous hostility in her eyes.
She sat cross-legged at the peak of the mountain. Beside her was a simple stone table and a stone stool. There was also a small peach tree that had not yet grown up.
"Are you … imitating him?"
Looking at Chan Hongyi's actions, her current expression, and her sitting position, Tao Yao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
She felt that Chan Hongyi was truly possessed, and very deeply.
"Perhaps."
"Only in this way can I feel his existence, as if I once had him …"
Chan Hongyi was still smiling, and her smile became even more bewitching. She did not deny her actions.
Of course, in front of an old friend like Tao Yao, she had nothing to hide. The two of them used to know each other very well.
"You're really possessed."
Tao Yao looked at her in a daze. At this moment, Chan Hongyi's expression seemed a bit like Gu Changge's to her.
"Am I not a red-robed female demon now? So what if I'm possessed? "Chan Hongyi still shook her head and smiled.
Tao Yao didn't know what to say. The current Chan Hongyi was already difficult for her to connect with the heroic, pure, and innocent red-robed girl in her memories.
"How long have you been asking this question?"
After a moment of silence, she asked again.
Chan Hongyi heard this question but did not answer. Her expression was a bit absent-minded.
How long?
Did she mean possessed? Or did she mean like this, sitting on the mountain peak and forgetting the flowing water?
She couldn't remember. Her memories were sometimes blurry and sometimes clear, and sometimes she felt like she had returned to her childhood …
Clear and muddled.
Many scenes overlapped. Sometimes, even she couldn't tell how much time had passed.
"Perhaps it has been a few hundred years …"
Chan Hongyi said softly. The smile on her face had faded, and her features were thinner. She was like a lotus flower at the beginning of a sudden rain, a bit desolate.
"A few hundred years?"
"Was that the day of his wedding?"
Tao Yao was silent. He wasn't surprised by this at all.
Chan Hongyi didn't say anything more. She changed to a more comfortable sitting position and didn't sit cross-legged like before. She gently waved her hand and a pot of hot tea appeared on the stone table beside her.
0
"Old friend, I don't have any good tea for you."
"Do as you please."
After saying this, she hugged her knees and rested her chin on them, as if looking at something.
Tao Yao sat down on the stone bench and poured a cup of tea for herself. "Don't look. Instead of watching from afar, why don't you ask him yourself? "
Chan Hongyi retracted her gaze and waved her hand, taking the cup of tea.
"Ask what?" Her gaze fell on the teacup. There were a few dried peach blossoms floating on the rippling tea.
"Ask for a reason. Also ask for an answer you want to know. "Tao Yao lowered her eyes and blew on the tea.
Chan Hongyi suddenly smiled, but it was a bit of a mocking smile.
"So what if I ask?"
0
"Is the reason or the answer still important now?" She asked.
Tao Yao glanced at her indifferently.
"Only you know whether it's important or not."
"I didn't come to find you to talk about the past. I think you can also feel the changes in the environment these days …"
"With our current strength, we should be able to withstand the huge karma. If we go back in time, we might be able to see some things with our own eyes."
"This can also be considered as an end to one of our obsessions."
"If the karma backfires and we can't withstand it, we will die. That's better than living like we are now, muddling along …"
This was the choice she had made before she left Peach Village.
Now that the environment of the world had changed, she had recovered much of her former strength. Although it was not a true reversal of time and return to the ancient times, she was still able to do so.
Although she didn't reverse time, as a passerby, she could still see some things with her own eyes.
However, some things involved so much karma that even Tao Yao wasn't sure if she could bear it.
If one wanted to see the ancient times, they had to pay a price.
"Making a trip back in time?"
Chan Hongyi didn't expect this to be the reason Tao Yao came to find her. Her gaze was still faint as she muttered repeatedly.
"The High Priest of Destiny of the Immortal Palace is now in the Fane of Destiny. She has the creation immortal boat. With that item, she can cross the river of time and offset the huge karma."
"Go find her. She should be willing to lend it."
Tao Yao's tone was still calm.
