Chapter 355: Mo Xian

Boom!
Two forces of death collided with each other.
Although the power of death emitted by Chen Xiao was purer than that of the force of collapse, its intensity was far inferior.
In almost an instant, Chen Xiao’s pure black power of death was completely shattered. The force of collapse, barely weakened at all, rushed straight toward Chen Xiao’s body.
But at that moment, Chen Xiao leaped upward. A even more powerful force of death erupted from within him. However, instead of attacking the force of collapse, this powerful force protected Chen Xiao’s body.
Boom!
Once again, the force of collapse struck Chen Xiao’s body, sending him flying outside the City of Collapse like a kite with its string cut.
“Tian Long You!”
Chen Xiao suppressed the boiling blood in his chest and muttered these words. Instantly, the nearly sealed Heavenly Map began to emit an immense force of natural freedom.
The Heavenly Instrument Tian Long You instantly enveloped Chen Xiao’s body. The next moment, driven by Tian Long You’s power and the vast force behind him, Chen Xiao’s body vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace.
“Tian Long You… the Heavenly Instrument of the Supreme Lord of Natural Freedom…”
The pupils of the Spirit of Collapse contracted sharply, his expression becoming extremely complex.
“Tian Long You… after the Supreme Lord of Natural Freedom perished, it scattered throughout the universe… Now, the Heavenly Realm can no longer reach the universe, yet this Heavenly Instrument appears here…”
“I wonder if what I’m doing is right or wrong…”
The next moment, the Spirit of Collapse glanced at Xi Xi, who was already fast asleep in his arms. Then, his entire body flashed as he returned to the City of Collapse below. Soon after, with a muffled sound, the massive city that had stood outside the Mountains of Collapse for tens of thousands of years vanished into thin air.
…
Pain—agonizing pain.
Chen Xiao felt as though every inch of his flesh and bone was about to shatter. He tried to stand up, but a profound sense of weakness overwhelmed him.
Chen Xiao quickly focused inward. At the center of his dantian, the black-and-white flame of the laws was trembling, seemingly on the verge of going out. Yet, surrounding it was another strange force keeping it alive.
Chen Xiao knew that without this strange force, his flame of laws would surely extinguish, and although he would still be a supreme god, he would merely be an ordinary lower-tier supreme god.
Moreover, his body was now in ruins—his muscles and bones severely damaged. Under the vast power of the Spirit of Collapse, recovery would be extremely difficult.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao opened his eyes.
“Where am I?”
Gathering a little strength and enduring the pain, he struggled to sit up. He realized that the force that had appeared in his dantian to sustain the flame of laws wasn’t his own. Clearly, someone else had implanted it into his body.

It was a clean and simple room, devoid of any decorations. At that moment, Chen Xiao was sitting on a small bed in one corner of the room. Next to the bed was a not-too-large wooden table, and beside the table was a wooden chair.

Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply as his eyes fixed intently on the surface of the table. A vivid blue jade dragon lay there peacefully, emanating a faint aura of natural power.

Whoosh!

Chen Xiao broke into cold sweat. He had used Tian Long You only out of desperation; otherwise, he would have died on the spot. Now that Tian Long You had been revealed, it wouldn’t take long before the entire heavenly realm learned of it.

What worried Chen Xiao even more was why the owner of this room had saved him and what motives they might have.

As Chen Xiao grew anxious, the door to the room opened, and a green figure entered from outside. Although this figure was right in front of Chen Xiao, it seemed as if they were separated by thousands of miles. With his vision, Chen Xiao couldn’t make out their appearance at all. Yet he could tell it was a woman.

She seemed to be wearing some extremely mysterious divine weapon. Chen Xiao’s soul was now that of a true supreme god. Though severely injured, this didn’t hinder him. But in his eyes, this woman was merely a faint silhouette.

The woman in green resembled an elf from the forest, her body brimming with vibrant energy that spread throughout the room like a gentle stream. With each breath Chen Xiao took, his wounds improved slightly. After ten breaths, all his physical injuries, including broken bones and muscles, had completely healed.

The next moment, the woman in green gathered all her energy back into her own body, leaving not a trace behind.

Chen Xiao got down from the bed and stretched his limbs slightly. He didn’t look at Tian Long You on the table but bowed to the woman in green and said, “Thank you for saving me, miss.”

“Mm.”

The woman in green nodded, responding with a soft “mm” in a voice like a mountain spring. Then she turned and left the room, closing the door behind her.

Chen Xiao stood there, still bowing, at a loss. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. She simply said “mm” and left?

And her purpose in coming here was merely to heal his wounds?

Chen Xiao shook his head. He walked over to the door and gently pushed it open.

Instantly, a refreshing breeze blew towards him, carrying a faint, delicate fragrance. It was a small courtyard filled with various fresh and elegant flowers—none of the garish, competing blooms, but simply pure and subtly scented.

Outside the courtyard was a small forest, where faint figures could be seen darting about—small forest animals.

“Sister Mo Xian, wait for us!”

Suddenly, Chen Xiao heard the shouts of a group of children—seven or eight, holding flowers and plants, seemingly only six or seven years old—running toward another direction with smiles on their faces.
With her sharp eyes, Chen Xiao could tell that these children were all in the form of beasts.
Following the direction the children were running, Chen Xiao saw the green-clad woman from earlier. She still gave off a hazy appearance, but she was no longer as distant as before.
At this moment, the green-clad woman named Mo Xian was carrying a medicine basket, heading toward a sloping valley on the west side of the courtyard.
Hearing the children’s shouts, Mo Xian stopped in her tracks and turned around.
