After the black Qi completely dissipated, what appeared in front of everyone was a ball of white light. Its size was much smaller than before, and it just floated quietly in the air.
It gave them a completely different feeling from the cold and vengeful feeling they had before. On the contrary, it was filled with an inexplicable sense of holiness.
Faced with everyone’s confusion, Ye Xuan coughed a few times and said, “I used a special method to restore it to its original shape.”
This statement was not quite certain either. The Penglai Immortal Beast had been dead for hundreds of years, so who knew what it looked like? Moreover, Ye Xuan had never seen the Penglai Immortal Beast before. The white light was the remaining power of the soul.
No one had any doubts. Instead, they admired him. There seemed to be nothing in this world that Ye Xuan couldn’t do.
“Have you ever heard of the Penglai Immortal Beast?”
People of the Tai Qing Sect looked at each other, then shook their heads. One of them said, “I’ve never heard of this kind of demonic beast. Judging from its name, it should be related to the Penglai Immortal Island. Could it be that it’s unique there?”
The Penglai Immortal Island had disappeared for almost a thousand years and had almost become a legend. If these creatures really came from Penglai, then it was too magical that they had existed in this form for so long.
The fifth elder pondered for a moment and said, “No matter how powerful a demonic beast is, once it dies, its soul will also dissipate into the world. Even those great demons can not escape this calamity. This is the cycle of heaven and earth.”
“Elder Ye, where did you get this information? Is it accurate?” the people from the Tai Qing Sect couldn’t help but ask.
How could the system’s detection be wrong? Ye Xuan said firmly, “It can’t be wrong. They are the Penglai Immortal Beasts.”
Recalling the appearance of this creature, everyone’s expression suddenly became indescribable.
“This so-called Immortal Beast from Penglai has been dead for so long, but it’s still able to unleash such a powerful force. It’s really incredible.”
Ye Xuan frowned. He remembered that the ‘negative state’ the system mentioned should be referring to the black Qi. After the system stripped away the black Qi, although the Penglai Immortal Beast was in pain, its current appearance should be closer to how it originally looked like.
“Didn’t I die? Why am I here…”
The sudden voice startled everyone. It sounded like someone who had not spoken for a long time. It was intermittent and a little hoarse.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was coming from the ball of light.
“Who are you?”
The white light floated towards them. Seeing that it did not have any offensive power, the Tai Qing Sect was relieved and put down their vigilance.
Ye Xuan saw that he could communicate with it normally, so he asked, “Are you an Immortal Beast from Penglai?”
The white light was stunned for a moment before replying, “Yes, and who are you?”
“We are from the Tai Qing Sect and we came from outside the secret realm. Are you and this stone from Penglai Immortal Island?”
Looking at the stone in Ye Xuan’s hand, the white light was silent for a long time, and then it sobbed, “How did you get the Penglai Immortal Stone?”
“I obtained this by chance. As for you, how did you end up in this state? And this secret realm… is it also related to Penglai? Why did Penglai Immortal Island sink?”
Ye Xuan asked a few questions in a row. He didn’t know which one triggered the white light’s sensitive nerves, but it suddenly became violent.
“The heavenly Dao is unfair! Why did it curse us? My clan was almost completely annihilated, leaving us to struggle on whilst at death’s door. Even if there’s only half a chance of survival, I’ll fight for it with my life.”
The white light became extremely unstable, and its words were incoherent. However, the huge amount of information between the lines set off a storm in the Tai Qing Sect’s hearts.
This ball of white light was the Penglai Immortal Beast. If what it said was true, then it was very likely to involve the truth about the fall of the Penglai Immortal Island.
As its emotions fluctuated, its voice was gradually tainted with resentment. It ranted, “It’s the wrath of heaven. What did we do wrong? We didn’t do anything wrong!”
“The heavens have 49 laws and the great Dao has 50. There’s a chance of survival, but there’s no way for my clan to survive. So what if it’s against the heavens?”
Ye Xuan’s sharp eyes noticed that there was a trace of black Qi coming out again and winding around the white light. The cold and sinister feeling came back again.
[System purification!]
Ye Xuan realized that the black Qi was like the negative emotions, containing the most Yin and evil energy in the world. The Penglai Immortal Beast’s current state was definitely related to these things.
As the black Qi completely dissipated, the white light also gradually calmed down.
“Are you alright? Your situation just now was very strange. Do you know the origin of that black Qi?”
The white light fell into silence. It was obvious that this matter was confidential and it did not want to tell Ye Xuan so easily.
Ye Xuan sneered, “And you call yourself an Immortal Beast of Penglai? I think you’re more like a demonic beast. You’re actually associated with these demons. If the people of Penglai Immortal Island knew about this, they would definitely be ashamed of you.”
The white light was so angry that its whole body was trembling. It flew straight to Ye Xuan and scolded angrily, “What do you know, you little brat! You don’t know anything!”
“Then tell me what exactly is going on.”
“I… I… I can’t say.”
All of a sudden, a gust of evil wind blew over from somewhere, and even the sky was gloomy. A thick evil aura floated over from the southeast.
From a distance, it looked like a huge shadow that covered the entire sky. All the creatures in the secret realm panicked and shivered in their nests as if they had sensed something.
This strange commotion attracted the attention of many sects.
The Heaven Sect’s people frowned as they looked at the sky. At this moment, the sky was so gloomy that it seemed like there would be a thunderstorm, making them feel inexplicably uneasy.
“What a heavy demonic Qi.”
