The midday sun, in winter, can only make people feel warm and cozy.
Upon arriving at the Forbidden Forest, Xunmi immediately sensed eerie wisps of gas circulating in the air.
It seems to be blocked by something, unable to get out, and keeps wandering.
"Resentment never used to appear, but it has been getting stronger and stronger lately."
Luo Ling was explaining things to Xun Mi and Han Shuang, and he would sigh every time he came in.
Since returning, these younger generation members have been following their father, taking turns to strengthen the barrier every day.
He tried to find a way to fix it, and after taking two days off, he thankfully brought back an awesome savior.
Remembering how her father wanted to beat her up the moment he saw her, Luo Ling decided to go with Shuangshuang once the seal was broken.
The group arrived deep within the Forbidden Forest, and without even asking, they knew that the place emitting black gas was the location of the seal.
There was a sturdy-looking golden barrier blocking those things from breaking through.
"Master, those black things look so ugly, just like that white worm."
Ouyang Hanshuang approached and searched, rubbing her arms a couple of times, her face full of disgust.
Can you imagine ugly, grotesque faces made of black gas staring at you in a sinister and terrifying way?
Seeking, he took two steps forward and placed his hand on the golden barrier.
"The seal hasn't cracked, it's just loosened."
If the crack is minor, it can be repaired; if it's major, it needs to be reset.
If it's loose, you just need to fix it; just apply a little more pressure and it will be firmly secured.
To be honest, when she touched the golden barrier, the fluctuations of the extreme yang spiritual energy were incredibly strong.
It looks like it's going to burn everything; it's definitely no ordinary item.
"Then let's begin. Girl, since you've cultivated the Sacred Flame, you must be at least a Spirit Venerable."
"We'll take action first to clear away the loosened demonic energy. You keep an eye on the time."
"We'll try to repair the seal in one go. Ideally, we'd use sacred fire to burn away the demonic energy before sealing it, but..."
Gongzi Liren sighed as he watched the black gas continuously emerging from the golden light.
With so much demonic energy, the spiritual power required to continuously use the sacred fire is immeasurable.
Forget it, let's fix the seal first and deal with this problem later.
It is understood that merely repairing the seal is only a temporary solution; the safest approach is to completely eliminate the demonic energy.
"Let me give it a try," Xunmi said to Gongzi Liren.
She nodded to Young Master Su, who was pulling on her arm and trying to stop her.
"Han Shuang, prepare the elixir to protect me."
Ouyang Hanshuang didn't hesitate either, taking out a large pile of pills and tossing them aside.
Bring out a small table and select all the items you'll need later, placing them on it.
He sat down on the table, close to his master, ready to feed her the Great Rejuvenation Pill at any time.
The others exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what kind of freaks these two were, possessing so many pills.
Moreover, just by smelling the pleasant fragrance wafting out, you can be sure that it's all good stuff.
Seeing that Xunmi had made up her mind, Gongzi Su stood behind her, silently protecting her back.
In case of any unexpected events, everything was ready, and Gongzi Liren also called on the clan elders to begin.
Xunmi kept his eyes on the seal and saw the black energy spreading continuously from the loosened area. The red and white flame in his hand shot out with a whoosh.
They kept squeezing into that small crack, and soon a crackling sound could be heard inside.
The color is a mix of golden yellow and vibrant red, and also includes the energy colors of several predecessors.
It illuminated this entire world, its immense power sweeping across the entire area of demonic energy.
For a full hour, Xunmi went from being pale and on the verge of exhaustion to being fully restored after being fed the Great Rejuvenation Pill by Han Shuang.
After three attempts, I finally managed to burn that huge lump into individual pieces the size of fingernails.
Then Xunmi threw a few more balls of flame, and together with Gongzi Su, they began to seal it.
The moment the seal completely disappeared underground.
The resentment that had been lingering in the forest vanished completely, as if it had never existed.
The previously gloomy colors have now brightened up.
Dead trees come back to life, and various tender green flowers and plants slowly sprout from the ground.
The chirping of birds in the woods echoed from afar, all indicating that they had succeeded.
"We've finally routed the demonic energy! Big brother, we've won!"
"After thousands of years, we can finally stop carrying this heavy burden."
"I need to go home and tidy up, then go out and have a look around."
They cheered, they were excited, and they were overjoyed.
Xunmi and Gongzi Su both looked at everyone with light smiles, feeling very relaxed.
"You little rascal, you're so happy you've smiled more today than you've in the last twenty years combined."
Second Uncle, who had previously met them at the market, punched Young Master Su in the chest and teased him.
Young Master Su didn't speak, he just smiled and said, "Mi'er, this is your second uncle."
"Hello, Second Uncle, I am Xunmi." Xunmi nodded obediently and greeted him.
"Very good, very good! The younger generation is truly formidable!"
The second uncle exclaimed, "If it weren't for this seemingly delicate little girl, we don't know how much longer we would have to keep going."
"Second Uncle, I'll take Mi'er back to rest first."
Young Master Su picked up Xunmi in his arms. Even though she had taken a lot of Great Rejuvenation Pills, Xunmi's face was still very pale.
If your spiritual energy is depleted, it's best to rest for a while.
"Go on, go on," Uncle waved his hand.
The matter was resolved, and everyone left together.
The problem that had plagued the clan for thousands of years, and the factor that affected the stability of the entire Tianze Continent, is now no longer a concern.
This finally put their minds at ease.
The departing crowd failed to notice that a wisp of reddish-black gas quickly disappeared beneath the vanishing golden seal.
When I woke up, I saw a beautiful treehouse, with vines entwined around it and unknown flowers blooming on it.
Sunlight streams down, casting irregular beams of light against the lush green leaves, creating an atmosphere that feels like stepping into a fairyland.
I walked barefoot onto the white plush carpet and sat down by the door.
With his feet dangling outside, he swung back and forth, watching a white fox chase a red, multi-tailed beast.
Occasionally, one or two adorable kittens would pass by, look up at the person in the tree, and then wag their tails and leave.
"Why are you up? Why aren't you wearing shoes?"
When Young Master Su returned to the tree carrying a bag of Dream Rose Fruit, he saw the fiery red figure smiling serenely.
Her heart softened instantly, and she leaped up the tree, offering the washed mongoose to Xunmi's lips.
Xunmi took a bite of the Mengluo fruit from Gongzi Su's hand, and it was still sweet, filling her heart with joy.
