Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 460 Release
Qin Feng supported the mud-covered Wei Xi and moved her slightly away from the center of the collapse, tears streaming down his face as if they were free.

The two, in extremely poor condition, settled down a few feet away, and Wei Xi, who had temporarily lost the ability to move, was gently settled in.

Wei Xi was indeed seriously injured—she managed to dodge the first day of the month but couldn't dodge the fifteenth, and was tricked by the dying tailbone.

If Wei Xi hadn't mobilized his spiritual power to resist in time, he would probably have already died.

After rushing to finish off Wei Xi and confirming that Wei Lu was completely dead, Qin Feng rushed back to Wei Xi's side to try to save his friend who was barely clinging to life.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Wei An had prepared a large quantity of high-quality pills, which allowed Wei Xi to catch her breath. She then opened her Qiankun bag and took out the pills that her cheap master had given her.

Wei Xi ate so much that his neck swelled up a bit before his condition finally stabilized.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and freed his hands to treat his injuries.

Having practiced martial arts for many years, Qin Feng managed to avoid serious injury during her hand-to-hand combat with the demonic beast, thus escaping the fate of being mutated; moreover, now that she was using Wei Xi's bone structure, all the yin and yang energy impacting her body was completely absorbed by the gluttonous [Pulling Silk].

If Qin Feng hadn't cushioned Wei Xi's fall and caused her to be caught in the final blow from the tailbone, she wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.

"You beast! Even in death you have no good intentions!"

After taking the pill, Qin Feng was full of energy. He cursed as he washed his ruptured wounds, occasionally spitting out stagnant blood.

Wei Xi can only move his mouth and two eyes now. After the blood and foam in his mouth were cleaned out, he kept making "woo-woo" noises before he could even catch his breath.

Those cries sounded just like a kitten's, and Qin Feng, heartbroken, quickly said, "It's dead! I used [Thread of Connection] to break its neck!"

Wei Xi desperately turned his head—his half-human, half-snake body was only able to move his head—trying to confirm the death of his tailbone.

Finally, Qin Feng brought over the monster's deformed head, and Wei Xi only calmed down after examining it.

As it turns out, Wei Xi won his gamble once again.

Previously, Wei Xi had some questions about the passage, such as the difference in the number of totems between the two versions, and how dilapidated the passage had become to allow the abilities of several powerful demons to permeate each other.
It wasn't until Qin Feng mentioned the coccyx that Wei Xi had a sudden realization—what if the entire structure is a coccyx?

As Wei Xi lay on the ground recuperating, he mentally reviewed the entire journey to the Bone Reef Sea, only to discover that there was no direct evidence to suggest that the Eastern Barbarian Demon Chief was still clinging to life.

Wei Xi believed that Yu Xianzhou was only trapped in the Bone Reef Sea because of the conversation she had with that thing when Ku Xun died.

However, judging from the recreation of the scene from a thousand years ago, the Dongyi demon leader was definitely dead.

The fact that Yu Xianzhou, a monster who defied the heavens, died due to betrayal by his own men, the sudden rise of a new force, and the combined forces of heaven and earth, can be considered a fitting end to his tumultuous life.

"Yu Han was killed by that boy, and Tun Qing was later suppressed by the founding ancestor of the Zhenhai Sect. If I hadn't interfered, Tan Xian might have been dealt with by Zuo Fei, or it might have been done by Lord Bai of Nanjiang. Chang Sheng Mu's subordinates might not be without the ability to do so!"

“As for Luexi,” Wei Xi paused, the image of that strangely beautiful face appearing in his mind, then he was shocked by the other party’s ruthless spirit of enduring humiliation, “he probably didn’t have a good ending either.”

This wasn't just Wei Xi's unfounded speculation. Historically, the infamous evil demon, Luexi, did indeed disappear suddenly. Moreover, Luexi was a product of Yu Xianzhou's defying the heavens; once the workings of the universe were revealed, it naturally met a bad end.

After the upheaval in Dongyi, it was perhaps Zuo Fei or someone else who established Deadwater City.

Emotionally, Wei Xi hoped that Zuo Fei, who wanted to be a hero, would get her wish, but rationally she knew that given the extent to which Zuo Fei's chest was exposed, her chances of surviving were extremely slim.

Previously, Wei Xi speculated that Dead Water City was built to suppress demonic beasts like Yu Xianzhou who were not quite dead yet. Now that they are definitely dead, the new conjecture is officially established:

Deadwater City was built to suppress the yet-to-be-born Tail.

"Yu Xianzhou must have manipulated the heavens and earth's geomancy by taking advantage of the Green Moon Tide. That's how the demons like Luexi were able to survive. It just so happened that it died at the right time, its tailbone still inside the furnace. Later generations had no way to deal with it and could only use the stagnant water town to suppress it."

Recalling the massive arrays outside, Wei Xi became even more convinced of his deduction. As for the ring that the two of them had risked their lives to retrieve, it was definitely the core of the array!

If she's not the key to the formation, it's no wonder that even drinking cold water causes her to have problems!

"Only the Tail can contain the power left behind by the demon beast. Or perhaps it was precisely because of the Tail's power that it was left behind. The five flames on the token are very likely imitations by later generations, meant to warn those who stray into the wrong path."

Just as Wei Xi was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Qin Feng say something in confusion.

Wei Xi suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a dense, endless expanse of grayish coral.

"The passage is destroyed?"

Qin Feng didn't understand the reasoning behind it, but Wei Xi, who had more information, knew that since the source of the tail was gone, neither Dead Water City nor Bone Reef Sea had any reason to exist.

If Wei and Qin had both grown up by the sea, they would have realized that graying meant the death of the coral.

However, this did not stop the two from escaping—because the gray coral began to shake, and then various skeletons of varying degrees of breakage were released.

Qin Feng coiled his snake tail around Wei Xi, who was partially paralyzed, and retreated into the depths of the ruins in a bizarre manner.

Wei Xi was unable to speak, and the broken sounds he made were completely incomprehensible to Qin Feng.

But Qin Feng had the advantage of being strong, so even while carrying Wei Xi, he still climbed very fast.

The sound of bones colliding and breaking followed the two until Qin Feng broke through a layer of water film, and the two fell into a tidal pool.

With a somersault, Qin Feng flipped over and was about to grab Wei Xi to continue his escape.

But this time, Wei Xi, with his winking and gesturing, finally managed to stop Qin Feng.

Qin Feng then realized that after their frantic climb, they had left the passage that was originally covered with bone-colored coral.

"Where is this? Is it marked on the merfolk's map?"

As Qin Feng spoke, he tried to move Wei Xi to a place where there weren't too many broken seashells.

Wei Xi shook her head slightly, because this place looked very familiar to her; it was the top of the furnace where Yu Xianzhou had been imprisoned thousands of years ago.

That is, the place marked as a volcano on the map presented by the cricket.

The only difference is that the top of the furnace has sunk to the bottom of the sea.

“No wonder it was labeled as a volcano,” Wei Xi thought to himself, “So the furnace really did collapse, and the fire was all on top.”

"Thinking about it this way, the fire here can be considered a fire without roots. If we could get our hands on it, wouldn't it be much better than the fire in our hearts?"

Wei Xi suppressed his greed, reminding himself that it was precisely because he had succumbed to the Tenth Princess's bad influence that he had ended up in this predicament.

No matter how sharp Wei Xi's eyes were, he couldn't convey a large amount of information to Qin Feng.

After much effort, Wei Xi finally managed to keep the terrified Qin Feng at bay for the time being.

Ignoring Qin Feng's suspicious gaze, Wei Xi had her move closer to the water film so she could carefully observe the skeletons.

The large-scale formation refers to the remnants on the giant sea serpents on the outer edge of the Bone Reef Sea that Wei Xi found in chapters 401-402.

The next chapter will mark the harvest season!
