Night of Despair-Chapter 455 - 453 Rescue 1 (Xie Zisang, Alliance Hierarch Lingfeng)
"You are really Chi Xiao, then you should know a lot of things I am concerned about, right?" Ku Chan voiced his skepticism.
"Of course. If you don’t believe me, you can ask. However, I don’t have much conscious time left. Back then, Heaven refined me into a sword, which caused great damage to my divine soul. Being able to be conscious now is all because of my formidable strength."
Ku Chan stopped speaking and stood up, walking towards the basement. Aside from the safe house’s array, there were also his own arrays placed there, which have a miraculous effect on blocking external sound transmission and consciousness fluctuations.
But soon, he realized that the voice was still there. After entering the double layer of arrays, he could still clearly hear it.
"Don’t get agitated, I really am Chi Xiao, and don’t tell your Alliance Hierarch about this; that guy is kind of strange," Chi Xiao said.
"What do you mean by kind of strange?" Ku Chan asked.
"To tell you the truth, I’m a little afraid of that Yu Hong," Chi Xiao spoke, "I’ve lived for several hundred years, and this is the first time I’ve encountered someone so inscrutable."
Hearing this, Ku Chan immediately got up and headed towards the Main Control Room where Yu Hong was located.
"Wait! Wait for me!!" Chi Xiao hastily called out to him. "Don’t you want to know why I am speaking out now?"
"Go ahead and talk, and I’ll report to the Alliance Hierarch when I get there," Ku Chan said.
"Ah, mainly because you guys actually managed to isolate the influences of the Spirit Disaster, something that even everyone from our time together couldn’t accomplish. So don’t rush... I came out to help you!" Chi Xiao quickly said.
With a chuckle, Ku Chan turned around and headed towards the Main Control Room, but was immediately called back again.
Chi Xiao began another earnest explanation.
After more than an hour of hassle, Ku Chan finally began to believe it a little.
"So what are you conscious now to help us with?" There is never such a coincidence in the world, not awakening earlier or later, but the other party happens to awaken now, there must be a reason. Thus, Ku Chan straightforwardly voiced his inquiry.
"It’s simple, you guys want to save someone, right? The person you want to save is locked up here in the Heavenly Prison, I can help you distract the Guardian Immortal Generals, but you have to do me a favor."
"What favor?" Ku Chan asked.
"Take away my Primordial Seal that’s kept in the Heavenly Prison," said Chi Xiao.
"What is the Primordial Seal?"
"It’s the most core imprint that belongs to a person, why you are you and not someone else, that’s determined by the Primordial Seal. Even if I die on the outside, if the Primordial Seal is still here, I can’t be completely freed. I will resurrect here, recover, and be locked in the Heavenly Prison where there is no light, until I go mad," Chi Xiao answered.
"...I need to discuss this with my Alliance Hierarch." Ku Chan is an honest child, even if a bit corrupted, he is still very nice to those kind to him.
His nature is frankness, straightforwardness, being the first to rush into situations.
"Well... okay, alright, I am quite interested in your Alliance Hierarch as well, he is indeed miraculous, always able to turn the impossible into possible! Very formidable!" Chi Xiao reluctantly admitted.
He had originally chosen him not only because he was barely capable of withstanding his descent but also because of his plain Chi Cheng heart, open and bright.
Now it seems, this plainspoken Chi Cheng sometimes is still a problem...
Confirmed by Chi Xiao, Ku Chan immediately got up and rushed towards the Main Control Room.
Meanwhile, inside the Main Control Room.
Yu Hong was holding an eyeball that shone with dazzling, rainbow-colored light, slowly inserting it into his own eye socket.
A silver-lettered instruction slip slowly drifted down beside him.
It was clearly written in Chinese characters: Outer Eye (also known as Colorful Mirror Candle Pupil, the cultivation essence of life from the Heaven’s Cai Jing Taoist, automatically enhances one’s Spiritual Energy by seventeen times, comes with high-level spiritual ability Technique Void One Finger, with the Passive Technique Myriad Spirits Guide).
’Void One Finger: Active Technique, launched with a single finger of one hand, the object pointed at will be suppressed by a Spiritual Power five times your own. Can be used within a radius of one kilometer from yourself. Consumes one-fifth of your own Spiritual Energy each time.’
’Myriad Spirits Guide: Passive Technique, able to spontaneously absorb the spiritual energy of all life forms within a one-kilometer radius, all creatures with Spiritual Energy less than one-tenth of your own will be continuously drawn by the force, unable to isolate or resist, their Spiritual Energy will be forcibly extracted until death.’
’Note: The Spiritual Energy drawn by Myriad Spirits Guide contains a large number of impurities, directly absorbing it can significantly enhance strength in the short term, but will cause thought disorder, memory recognition deviation, personality distortion. It is impossible to evolve to the next stage and requires Immortal Light to completely purify.’
These two Techniques, at a glance, were the powerful abilities once used by Cai Jing Taoist.
Especially the second one, which even caused widespread death among ordinary people before.
Yu Hong felt somewhat moved when he saw these two Techniques.
’Void One Finger is against a single enemy, Myriad Spirits Guide is against cannon fodder troops, Cai Jing Taoist really is a versatile Spirit Disaster! No wonder the fight was so arduous back then.’
This was an eyeball freshly enhanced from a Three-Eyed Dragon Head General.
Unexpectedly, this eyeball directly evolved into the attributes of Cai Jing Taoist.
Originally, the Three-Eyed Dragon Head General needed to devour a large number of living wills and a stream of Heavenly Immortal Energy to successfully ascend to Cai Jing.
Now, with just one enhancement from Yu Hong, he had managed to leap past that hurdle and attain Cai Jing.

Crack.
The colorful eyeball was installed into the socket, emitting a light click.
Yu Hong swiftly released Elf Ancient Tree’s Call, a faint golden halo spread, covering the eye sockets.
At once, numerous white line-like Spiritual Energy formations appeared in his field of vision.
Within the white lines, there were now some silver threads as well.
He extended his hand, trying to touch them.
Hiss!
Suddenly, a stream of highly concentrated and purified Spiritual Energy flowed into his body.
Just one silver thread is worth at least five to ten of the white ones. Extremely exaggerated.
’If I can keep absorbing the silver threads, my progress with Tai Ling Skill can definitely increase five to ten times faster!’ Yu Hong contemplated internally.
The enhancement of the senses strengthens the foundation of cultivation. This perspective of the Taoist Sect was indeed correct.
Of course, the premise is that there is no rejection reaction; he was able to do this because the Black Seal Gang helped him eliminate the problem.
Thump, thump, thump.
Just then, the door was knocked.
"Come in." With a flick of his finger, Yu Hong unlocked the door with his Inner Strength.
Turning his head, he saw Ku Chan enter with a solemn expression, which puzzled him.
"What’s happened? Is there another problem?"
"It’s not... It’s about Chi Xiao." Ku Chan started to speak, then he saw the room’s walls covered with eyeball bottles of all sizes.
His breath caught slightly.
"You see, I told you, this guy isn’t normal! He’s capable of anything!" Chi Xiao shouted anxiously in his heart.
"I think it’s best not to mention me, otherwise, I’m worried you might be in trouble too!" he quickly added.
"...." Ku Chan paused, "It’s like this..." Without hesitation, he spoke of Chi Xiao’s voice.
"...." Chi Xiao suddenly felt like maybe he had chosen the wrong master.
Looking at the situation where the entire family had been wiped out, leaving only him as the sole survivor, he didn’t hesitate at all to fully disclose his greatest secret to a stranger.
As if he didn’t worry about others harming him at all.
"So, you’re saying that the consciousness within Chi Xiao now claims it can help us distract and hold off the Heavenly Prison Immortal General?" Yu Hong repeated the entire content once more.
"Yes."
"Do you believe it?" Yu Hong asked.
"Half-belief, half-doubt."
"Then let’s give it a try." Yu Hong smiled and touched the Colorful Mirror Candle Pupil he had just transplanted.
It was a good chance to test his abilities that he had just pushed to the limit.
Say nothing else, pretending to be a Spirit Disaster Monster might have some feasibility.
"Your eyes?" Ku Chan also noticed the change in Yu Hong’s eyes and hesitantly asked.
"It’s fine, just practiced a Cultivation Technique that changes the eyes." Yu Hong gave a simple explanation.
"Okay then, when do we take action?" Ku Chan asked.
"We need to find out where Heavenly Prison is first." Yu Hong said, looking down at the Chi Xiao Sword.
Seemingly aware of his gaze, the Chi Xiao Sword Handle trembled slightly, evaporating into white light points.
The dots in mid-air condensed into a bald, white-bearded Taoist.
"Your eyes..." As the Taoist appeared, he met Yu Hong’s colored left eye directly, trembling violently as if he were a quail.
"Tell me, you know where Heavenly Prison is, right?" Yu Hong asked.
"Of course, I know. To access Heavenly Prison’s location, one must activate a teleportation Array here to enter. The Array is located on the left side of the Heavenly Prison Palace, beneath a dominating statue, and needs Immortal Law to be activated. You don’t know Immortal Law, so even if you know the location, you can’t enter," Chi Xiao quickly said.
"Lead the way." Yu Hong said calmly.
Chi Xiao still wanted to say something, but seeing Yu Hong’s colorful halo eye, similar to the Cai Jing Taoist’s, he consciously swallowed his words and floated out.
The safe house moved stealthily, quickly reaching the left side, in a white garden overgrown with weeds.
Soon, they saw the statues of the Dragon Sons.
Yiyi was originally cooking and saw Yu Hong and Ku Chan come out with serious faces, followed by a white-bearded old man; they quickly squeezed to the surveillance window.
Although she didn’t know what had happened, she hastily put down her spatula and squeezed in with them to look outside.
At that moment, in the white garden outside, they quickly found one of the dominating statues.
"Let me out," Chi Xiao said.
Yu Hong and Ku Chan exchanged a glance, reached out their hands, and forcefully opened a crack in the door.
Click.
At once, Ku Chan threw the Chi Xiao Sword Handle out like lightning.
"Wait, don’t throw..." Before Chi Xiao could finish, he was already tossed underneath the belly of the dominating statue.
Click.
The door closed.
The three watched from inside the house as the old man Chi Xiao grumbled and prostrated himself, moving rapidly and diving under the statue’s belly, disappearing like he was fired from a canon.
His actions were so practiced; it was clear he had done it countless times before.
"Do we still have any sound transmission?" Yu Hong asked.
"None, seems like he really is Chi Xiao." Ku Chan shook his head.
Yiyi watched the two men, completely confused about what they were talking about.
"I’m going to cook." She turned around to continue what she was doing before.
Leaving Yu Hong and another person to continue waiting by the door.
