Who came to rescue me?

Yu Yuan was stunned for a moment and he gripped the Jade Pestle, listening attentively several times. Although the woman's voice was intermittent, he could clearly make out those few words.

How strange!

This Jade Pestle was given to him by Chang'e Fairy, who said it was specially left for him by the Moon God Chang Xi.

At the time, he examined the Jade Pestle over and over but found nothing—unthinkably, today, a call for help was emitted without any signs.

Not right!

It wasn't a cry for help!

Normally, a call for help would be "come quickly to rescue me" or something similar, but "Who came to rescue me" sounded more like a warning!

A warning not to go to the rescue!

But the thing was, he hadn't even thought about rescuing anyone!

Where to rescue, who to rescue, he had no idea about any of it, what a total mess!

He had only met the goddess Chang Xi once; they had neither friendship nor obligation. Even if it were her personally asking for help, Yu Yuan would have to consider whether or not to rescue her, not to mention just a signal from a Jade Pestle.

"What's going on?"

Golden Spirit Saint Mother asked Yu Yuan with some curiosity.

Yu Yuan hesitated for a moment before handing over the Jade Pestle he held.

Golden Spirit Saint Mother, without any hesitation, reached out and took the Jade Pestle.

As soon as the Jade Pestle left his hand, Yu Yuan immediately felt the throbbing in his heart disappear, while the expression of Golden Spirit Saint Mother changed, she looked at Yu Yuan in surprise.

"Did you hear it?" Yu Yuan asked.

"I did," Golden Spirit Saint Mother nodded slightly, then curiously asked, "Who is the voice's owner?"

"It might be Moon God Chang Xi, I don't quite remember. But this Jade Pestle was left by her…" Yu Yuan did not conceal it, directly laying out how he came to possess the Jade Pestle.

After explaining the situation, he looked at Golden Spirit Saint Mother and said, "I had checked this Jade Pestle before, and it is not any magical artifact; I wonder why it has suddenly transmitted a sound today?"

"Why didn't you tell me about this before?" Golden Spirit Saint Mother first glared at him, then held the Jade Pestle and listened carefully for a while, afterward expressing some disappointment, "The voice has disappeared."

Yu Yuan reached out to take the Jade Pestle, indeed, the throbbing feeling was gone.

He let go and handed the Jade Pestle back to Golden Spirit Saint Mother.

The latter carefully examined the Jade Pestle in her palm for a moment, then spoke softly, "What you said just now was correct, this is indeed not a magical artifact; it should be an array eye."

Yu Yuan suddenly realized, staring at the fine patterns on the surface of the Jade Pestle, boldly guessing, "Does this mean that this Jade Pestle is actually an array eye of a great formation, and it has been activated due to some reason?"

"Correct." Golden Spirit Saint Mother nodded, seriously saying, "The person who made this array eye has extremely high knowledge in formation array, far above me. If it hadn't been activated, I might not have noticed it was an array eye."

"Do you know what just activated it then?" Yu Yuan curiously asked.

He had some understanding of the Array Dao himself, knowing full well that the array eye is the central pivot of a great formation, meaning that as long as one can control the array eye, one can move freely within the great formation, breaking or defending the formation all at a thought.

Normally, a powerful spiritual treasure is used as the array eye during formation setup, like Lady Primeval Chaos using the Primordial Golden Bowl as the array eye in the Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, and the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, rumored to be the most lethal formation under the Heavenly Dao, also uses the Four Swords of Slaying Immortal as its array eye.

Golden Spirit Saint Mother said, "There are many ways to activate an array eye, but just now I didn't feel any external force intervening, it seemed like this Jade Pestle revived on its own... Its array patterns are very complex, I can't comprehend them in a short time."

"Even if it revived on its own, there should be a trigger, right?" Yu Yuan grumbled, "If Chang'e Fairy wasn't lying, this Jade Pestle has been with her for hundreds of epochs, how could she not notice anything abnormal?

I think this sudden revival of the Jade Pestle has something to do with our arrival at this eerie place...

Isn't it said that the Demon Emperor Hall had appeared here? This Jade Pestle is also a product of that era, there might be some connection between the two."

"That is indeed a possibility."

Golden Spirit Saint Mother nodded, staring intently at the Jade Pestle, said solemnly, "I'll try to trace back what exactly caused it to revive just now."

With that said, a misty Chaotic fog flashed in her eyes, as if time was flowing and years were fleeting.

Moments later, she suddenly stood up, a glint flashing in her eyes, smilingly said, "I know where the Demon Emperor Hall is now, the sudden revival of this Jade Pestle is related to that Demon Emperor Hall!"

Yu Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

If the Jade Pestle was indeed left for him by Chang Xi Fairy, then why would it be related to the Demon Emperor Hall?

Could it be that Chang Xi Fairy is currently in the Demon Emperor Hall?

Regarding this Chang Xi Fairy, Yu Yuan had also specifically inquired later, but there weren't many Immortal Gods who knew of her existence in this era.

Most Immortal Gods only knew of the former Demon Queen Xi He, but didn't know about her sister.

Because Chang Xi Fairy, even in the Ancient Era, was reclusive and seldom left the Taiyin Star, spending most of her time in seclusion.

Even the Demon Gods from Demon Court hardly had any impression of her.

They couldn't even say for sure whether she was dead or alive.

As he was contemplating, Golden Spirit Saint Mother had already urged the Seven Fragrant Treasure Car to speed towards the depths of the vast desert.

Moments later, the Seven Fragrant Treasure Car stopped above a golden sand dune.

Golden Spirit Saint Mother pointed her hand towards a large sand dune in front of them and solemnly said, "The Demon Emperor Hall is right there!"

While speaking, the Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi in her hand flew out, growing a hundred zhang in length with the wind before fiercely striking the middle of the sand dune.

"Boom!"

The ground shook violently, as if a colossal creature had turned over deep within the earth.

Yu Yuan gazed forward, only to see the lower half of the gigantic sand dune remain unmoved, while the upper half had vanished, emitting dazzling beams of golden light.

Following that, the remaining half of the sand dune began to rise upwards.

A majestic Immortal Palace slowly emerged from the sands.

The palace was embedded with numerous dazzling Immortal Jade, radiating splendid light, and every corner was intricately carved with extreme elegance and grandeur, making it hard to take one's eyes off.

Under the sunlight, the golden roof of the Immortal Palace shimmered with stunning brilliance, as if it was a building cast from gold.

Around the palace, hundreds of towering pillars stood, carved with stars and various patterns of precious birds and Auspicious Beasts, seemingly alive and writhing upwards on the pillars, as if ready to burst forth and howl at any moment.

Golden light flowed around the grand hall, glowing brilliantly in the sandstorm, and the plaque above the palace door faintly revealed three huge golden characters sparkling—"Demon Emperor Hall!"

At the moment the Demon Emperor Hall appeared, Yu Yuan once again felt a pang of trepidation, and the vague murmurs returned to his ears.

When he grasped the Jade Pestle, the voice became instantly clear:

"Do... not... come... save... me..."

Yu Yuan's eyes flickered.

Without a doubt, the Demon Emperor Hall had some direct connection to the Jade Pestle.

He released his Divine Thought attempting to observe the situation inside the Demon Emperor Hall, but under his Divine Thought, the hall seemed to not exist at all.

Even though it was right in his sight, he couldn't lock onto it with his Divine Thought, let alone observe its interior.

"I'll go over and take a look, you cover me!"

Yu Yuan said this as he stepped out of the Seven Fragrant Treasure Car, the Mixed Gold Hammer appearing in his hand, and he charged towards the Demon Emperor Hall.

"Be careful!"

Golden Spirit Saint Mother did not stop him, only reminding him, while the Four Symbols Tower appeared above her head, keeping some distance behind Yu Yuan, ready to provide support at any time.

Along the way, there was no obstruction, and Yu Yuan easily arrived at the front door of the Demon Emperor Hall.

Unable to see clearly inside through the doors, he gently exhaled a breath, transforming it into a fierce Gang Wind that swept forward, and with a loud "bang," the doors were blown open.

Yu Yuan glanced around the grand hall, only seeing golden sunlight streaming through the doors and windows, casting soft patches of light illuminating the entire hall, devoid of any shadow of people.

The air carried a faint scent, with light mist swirling in the space.

The inside of the Demon Emperor Hall was vast and magnificent, completely devoid of even a single pillar.

Yu Yuan stepped inside; above was a azure blue dome, while the floor was a square white jade, feeling the vibrations of Space Law, indicating the interior space must have been folded to be much larger than it appeared, spacious enough to accommodate tens of thousands of Immortal Gods.

In the main position at the front of the great hall, two giant golden thrones stood side by side.

"Those must be the thrones of Emperor Jun and Taiyi."

Golden Spirit Saint Mother, who had followed him in unnoticed, surveyed the surroundings and said, "Since the Ancient Era, countless Immortal Gods have searched for this Demon Emperor Hall, yet who knew it was hidden here... However, it is indeed well-concealed, and without your Jade Pestle to guide us, we might never have found it."

Yu Yuan nodded, about to say something, when he saw the hundreds of towering pillars outside the Demon Emperor Hall suddenly blazing with dazzling Chaotic Divine Light.

In that instant, he understood.

The voice inside the Jade Pestle was indeed a warning!

"Let's leave quickly!"

Yu Yuan spoke, while summoning the Chaos Bell, attempting to travel through space with Golden Spirit Saint Mother away from the Demon Emperor Hall.

However, the cascading Chaotic Divine Light enveloped them first, and to his surprise, this power seemed to originate from the same source as the Chaos Bell!

"Swish—"

A familiar sensation came, and Yu Yuan felt as though he was squeezing into a narrow crevice.

Unlike before, this time he was not alone.

By his side, was his peerlessly elegant mentor!
