A Mistaken Fall into Pansi Cave (I)

Meanwhile, Tang Sanzang and his disciples, having finished their business in the Kingdom of the Zhu Zi Kingdom, set off on their journey Journey to the West.

Ao Tu arrived at Pansi Ridge ahead of Tang Sanzang and his disciples to make preparations in advance.

Actually, there's not much to prepare for in this situation.

Ao Tu planned to use the Great Formation of Stars of the Celestial Cycle to forcibly stop Tang Sanzang and his disciples during this ordeal, so he didn't need too many schemes; simply setting up the formation to block them would suffice.

chapter??

However, the Great Formation of Stars of the Celestial Cycle requires many helpers to set it up, so Ao Tu needs to contact the Immortal in the Heaven and the Demon on earth in advance to see which ones are willing to help.

Within the Great Formation of Stars of the Celestial Cycle, there are two main flags: the Sun Star and the Moon Star, which we will not discuss for now.

Besides the main flag, there are countless secondary flags, also called Star Banner.

Generally speaking, the secondary flag can be divided into 365 parts, each to be held by 365 Daluo Golden Immortal or Great Supernatural Ability Powers. By activating the Formation, they can control the Stars in the Heavenly Deities and unleash immeasurable Kalpa.

However, it is clear that apart from himself, who is probably a great Supernatural Ability being, none of Ao Tu's subordinates possess such power.

Therefore, the only option was to divide the Formation Flag into more categories, assigning them to more Immortal and Demon to unleash a portion of the array's power.

The more Immortal and Demon there are, the better.

Ao Tu wasn't sure how many people he could invite, and there were bound to be conflicts between some Immortal and Demon. So he planned to make other preparations in Pansi Ridge first, and then go to invite people, so as not to make any mistakes, lose trust, offend people, or have the people he invited leave.

Upon reaching the Pansi Ridge, one sees:

The mountain peaks rise high, and the earth's veins stretch far and wide. Above, they connect with the clouds and mist, and below, they reach the sea and mountains. Gentle mists swirl and White Qi drift. Vines and orchids hang from the trees, and countless magnolias and irises bloom. The Cave Abode is near a stone bridge, and a winding stream meanders around it. In the Rear Garden, peach and plum trees are planted, with thousands of trees and trees vying for beauty.

Looking ahead, behind the ridge, there is a mountain spring, a place of auspicious beauty and Creation wonder. This is the Nine Suns Nine Suns Spring, formed from the suns that Yi shot down, and this is one of them, named: Zhuogou Spring.

In the old days, this spring was originally used by the seven sisters, including Hong'er, to bathe and relax in their Lower Realm.

Later, seven Spider Demon came and occupied the spring. Since Hong'er and the others had descended to the mortal Lower Realm without permission, they couldn't argue and gave up the place.

Ao Tu himself possessed the Demon Emperor Bloodline Demon Emperor, who was the Great Sun and the source of the Golden Crow, hence his interest in this spring.

Looking at it now, I unexpectedly sensed a familiar aura.

So he landed.

There were seven Spider Demon, each with their own unique charm. They were barely clothed, one with a rosy face, another with crimson lips, another with arched eyebrows, another with cloud-like hair, another standing like a flower branch, and another with her feet crossed like Golden Lotus.

The eldest sister, a large red spider, was more striking in appearance than the other six, possessing a greater degree of decisiveness; she was the leader of a Demon.

At that moment, the older woman was supporting another woman.

But then I saw the woman:

Her skin, cold and delicate, was devoid of warmth; her jade-like bones, broken and powerless, remained.

Her collar could not conceal her snow-white skin, and her delicate shoulders, though cut open, could not be aligned.

It is like the dawn breaking over a ghostly realm, or like a great flood rolling up spring mud.

Her moon-like beauty has vanished, and her endless charm has also gone.

It was the White Bone Spirit.

Ao Tu could tell at a glance that the White Bone Spirit had just been struck by the power of extreme Yang and was seriously injured.

The eldest sister, not even bothering to put on her clothes, hurriedly said, "Quick, go find our Elder Brother! We absolutely cannot let her die, or our entire cave will be wiped out!"

Upon hearing this, the six younger sisters panicked and frantically searched for clothes on the clothes rack to put them on. In their haste, one lost her embroidered shoes, another dropped her undergarment, and it was quite a comical sight.

Seeing the White Bone Spirit in pain, Ao Tu didn't bother to look any longer and called out loudly from outside, "Hurry up and put your clothes on so as not to be impolite. I'm going in."

The seven Spider Demon demons were startled by the sound. The eldest sister quickly put on a thin robe and asked, "Who are you?"

Before Ao Tu could answer, the White Bone Spirit recognized the person's identity, and her brows furrowed with boundless joy. Although her eyebrows were almost completely gone, she hurriedly said in a hoarse voice, "It's my Great King!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest sister assumed it was the Blood Sea King and dared not be negligent, so she hurriedly instructed her younger sister to open the door.

The little spider was a bit simple-minded. After hearing its eldest sister's instructions, it didn't care whether the other sisters were dressed properly or not, and ran to open the door.

Ao Tu walked in and, seeing this, laughed, "I told you to put on your clothes properly, but why aren't you wearing shoes or coats? You just ran out with only a bag tied around your neck?"

Upon hearing this, the little spider looked at itself and immediately blushed with embarrassment. It spat out a Silver Threads from its navel, draped it over the roof beam, and vanished in a flash.

Ao Tu smiled and walked inside.

Upon seeing this, the eldest sister took a few steps back and asked, "Aren't you the Blood Sea King?"

The other younger sisters said, "Big sister, this person is good-looking."

The older sister said, "Shut up, I can see through you!"

Ao Tu said, "My name is Ao Tu. I am the sworn brother of the Blood Sea, and also its Great King."

Upon hearing this, the eldest sister, having heard of Ao Tu's reputation, immediately dared not be negligent and hurriedly instructed her younger sisters to bow.

Ao Tu ignored him and looked at the White Bone Spirit in his elder sister's arms.

At this point, the White Bone Spirit's throat had been burned open, half of her face was destroyed, her belly revealed her inner abdomen, and her genitals were empty, revealing only bones.

The White Bone Spirit, weak and pathetic, laughed bitterly, "Your Great King has once again seen my despicable face."

Ao Tu said, "Have you become tainted with blood again?"

The White Bone Spirit said, "Tiger Vanguard and I united the Demon Clan. Although we didn't need to harm people, demons also have sentience. My cultivation is insufficient, and the more I killed, the more blood I became tainted on my body."

Ao Tu nodded, looked at his eldest sister, and asked, "Did you bring her into this Zhuogou Spring?"

The eldest sister hurriedly said, "Senior, I truly do not know. My sisters and I usually bathe in this spring whenever we eat human flesh and our bodies become tainted with its aura. This cleanses us completely and is also very beneficial to us. Legend has it that this spring was transformed from the Golden Crow, and its uses are boundless. Even the Heaven maidens have bathed in this spring. I don't know why she felt a fire rise on her body as soon as she entered the spring. This was truly not something we did intentionally."

Ao Tu said, "You don't know, she is formed from bones, a born Yin demon. You cultivate by Inhaling and Exhaling the sun and moon, and occasionally eat people, so you are not afraid of being burned. She has been cultivating by eating people since childhood, and now she is tainted with blood, so naturally true fire has entered her bones."

Upon hearing Ao Tu's words, the White Bone Spirit was filled with shame and felt utterly demeaned. Despite the excruciating pain and burning sensation throughout her body, she dared not utter a sound.

The little spider on the roof beam spoke up righteously, "You, as her Great King, are utterly unreasonable. Since she was born a demon, eating people is as easy as cattle eating grass. Heaven and Earth must have had a great injustice in her life to have brought her into this world. Instead of speaking up for her, why do you despise her?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Tu laughed and took the White Bone Spirit from his elder sister's hands, holding her in his arms, and said, "Who dislikes her? Heaven and Earth created her for a reason. But who threw her into the Sun Pool, causing such a mess?"

The little spider stammered, unable to speak, and finally said, "We meant well, but we didn't expect this to happen. We don't know how to make amends, but my sisters and I are willing to do our best to help."

Ao Tu laughed and said, "That's a more palatable suggestion. You all keep a close watch on the gates, Heaven and below, and don't let any outsiders in. I'll come to rescue her."

Upon hearing this, the Spider Demon immediately spun silk and spun webs, covering the entire pond.

Ao Tu looked at the White Bone Spirit in his arms and laughed, "You've endured this long without uttering a sound; you've certainly gained a lot of willpower than before."

Upon hearing this, the White Bone Spirit couldn't help but wail, saying, "Your Great King, I have no willpower whatsoever! My bone marrow is burning, and the pain is unbearable! I only dared not utter a sound because I was afraid you would despise me."

Ao Tu said, "You're actually not seriously injured. You were just burned by the Sun's fire. Even if I weren't here, you'll be fine after nightfall. I have two ways to help you. One is to give you a Golden Elixir, and you'll be cured immediately; the other is for you to jump back into the pool and endure the Solar True Fire. I will then grant you a complete transformation."

The White Bone Spirit asked, "Which one does Your Great King wish me to choose?"

Ao Tu bluntly stated, "Choose the second one. If you undergo a complete transformation, you'll be even more helpful to me in the future."

Upon hearing this, the White Bone Spirit said, "In that case, Your Great King, please carry me down."

Ao Tu originally intended to throw her down directly, but since she had said so, he couldn't throw Ao Tu anymore, so he had no choice but to carry the White Bone Spirit into the hot spring.

The White Bone Spirit fell into the spring again, and her flesh and blood instantly dissolved, leaving only her bones, which were her True Body, to endure the scorching heat of the Solar True Fire.

Enduring the excruciating pain, the White Bone Spirit asked, "Your Great King, why didn't you take off your clothes before going down into the spring?"

Ao Tu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, and laughed, "I underestimated you. Enveloped in the Solar True Fire, you still have the mind to think about these things." As he spoke, Ao Tu activated his Demon Emperor Bloodline, and the spring water in the pool immediately overflowed like pearls and jade, bubbling and steaming, transforming into a golden pool.

The White Bone Spirit couldn't hold back any longer and cried out in the water.

Ao Tu remained silent, took out a box of Golden Elixir from his robes, and poured it into the spring. Instantly, a strange fragrance filled the air, startling the birds and beasts in the mountains. Like moths drawn to a flame, they rushed over, only to be trapped by Spider Silk.

Even the seven Spider Demon couldn't resist. The eldest sister, her face flushed and her breathing rapid, asked in a trembling voice, "Senior, may we go down and soak together?"

Ao Tu said, "Don't get close to the White Bone Spirit and try to steal the medicinal power around her. You can fight over the dissipated parts. By the way, this water is a bit hot."

Upon hearing this, the eldest sister disregarded the heat and jumped into the spring. The other Spider Demon followed suit, only to be scalded and scream in agony, eventually reverting to their Original Form and thrashing about in the water.

Ao Tu saw a small yellow spider, seemingly intoxicated by the steam of the spring water. Its head drooped, submerged in the water, revealing only its rounded abdomen or tail. Ao Tu Taiqing spider anatomy, so he poked it; it was still soft, so he figured it wasn't dead and turned it over. The little spider exhaled water, saying, "I'm alive again! I'm alive again!" Then it spun Spider Silk, which wrapped around Ao Tu and crawled up his forearm, saying, "Senior, this spring water is too hot! It wasn't this hot before!"

Seeing this, the large red spider quickly swam over. It was nearly three times larger than the small yellow spider. It hissed, "Seventh Sister, don't be rude! Come down here!"

Upon hearing this, the little yellow spider carefully climbed down from Ao Tu's arm, and the big red spider caught it.

Ao Tu said, "This Divine Fire can temper your true forms. Enduring the heat will bring many benefits."

Upon hearing this, all the spiders persevered.

Time passed.

After the Wu Hour sun's intense heat, as the Wei Hour) arrived, the White Bone Spirit, having undergone the forging of the Solar True Fire and the shaping of the Golden Elixir, had been reborn.

His bones were as pure as gold and jade, as clear as bright jade, and glowed with golden Rosy Radiance.

Ao Tu took out Fifth-Grade Black Lotus, removed the lotus root, and said, "Come, let me shape you."

(And there's more!)
