When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 358 Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Thunder, and Wind, All Returned to Their Positions

A day later, Xiao Hei, who was the least injured, led the others and fled to the depths of the boundary clouds, no one knew how far away they had gone.

"Alright, Brother Black, at this great distance, even the Void Beasts won't be able to find us," Xiao Rou said to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei, who was already a man of few words, had barely uttered a few words since being chased by the Immortal Venerable's clone.

At this moment, he felt both self-reproach and hatred.

She blamed herself for being so weak.

Everyone around Ninth Brother, except himself, can fight alongside him and lend him a helping hand.

But not only can she not do that, she also has to become the person most in need of protection among everyone.

He hated that he wasn't fast enough.

Since everyone was hoping to use their speed to lead them to escape, he still couldn't escape the siege of the Immortal Venerable.

If I had been a little faster, Xiao Jin and Xiao Huo wouldn't have had to forge themselves alive to catch the sword for Ninth Brother.

Ninth Brother wouldn't have to become like this, barely clinging to life with just a breath left.

After Xiao Hei stopped, it cleared away a portion of the cosmic clouds, creating a small space.

"Little Rou, we're safe now. Tell me quickly, how do we save Ninth Brother?"

"It seems Ninth Brother can't hold on much longer." As soon as Xiao Hei stopped, Xiao Lei asked anxiously.

"Xiao Mu, are you ready?" Xiao Rou didn't answer Xiao Lei's question, but instead looked at Xiao Mu and asked.

"Little Rou is ready." After saying that, Xiao Mu looked at Xiao Lei, who was crying, and continued:

"Why are you crying? Here... this is for you." Xiao Mu's voice trembled slightly, as if she was enduring some pain.

As he spoke, he slowly reached his hand inside his body.

The movement looked extremely difficult, as if he had something extremely precious hidden inside his body that required all his strength to retrieve.

Finally, with a sudden burst of strength, Xiao Mu forcefully pulled a small sapling radiating a vibrant green light out of his body.

The sapling is entirely green and translucent, as if it were carved from jade, exuding a rich sense of life.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Lei's expression changed drastically, and he anxiously shouted, "Xiao Mu, what are you doing?"

Why did you strip away a portion of your essential wood element?

However, Xiao Mu seemed not to hear Xiao Lei's calls. His gaze was fixed on the sapling, and his eyes revealed a resolute and determined look.

"Xiao Lei, don't ask!" Xiao Mu interrupted Xiao Lei, as if she had thought of something, and said in a haughty tone.

"When Xiao Jin and Xiao Huo transform into human form again, you can take this and tell them, 'I, Xiao Mu, am not a coward either!'"

After saying that, Xiao Mu suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the silent space, making everyone who heard it feel a deep sadness.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Mu's body trembled violently and instantly transformed into a green light, rushing straight towards Zhu Chongjiu, who was on the verge of death, like lightning.

"A withered tree comes back to life, life never ends!"

Xiao Mu's loud shout was like a thunderclap.

As soon as he finished speaking, the green light streaked across the night sky like a shooting star and rushed into Zhu Chongjiu's body at an astonishing speed.

"Xiao Mu...!" Xiao Lei burst into tears, his face streaked with sobs, his voice choked with sobs. He cried out as he ran wildly toward Zhu Chongjiu as if he wanted to break through all obstacles and throw himself into Zhu Chongjiu's arms.

"Brother Xiong, hold onto Xiao Lei!" Just as Xiao Lei was about to rush in front of Zhu Chongjiu, Xiao Rou's voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiong Da reacted quickly and reached out to hug Xiao Lei tightly.

"Brother Xiong, don't stop me, I know what to do!" His voice was filled with despair and resentment.

"Little Rou, are you going to...?" Xiao Lei turned his head, looking at Xiao Rou with teary eyes, as if he had already guessed what Xiao Rou was going to do next.

"That's right, Xiao Lei."

Springtime brings forth all things, how could it be complete without the nourishment of the source of life?

Xiao Rou, who rarely smiles, gave a slight smile.

That smile was like spring flowers in bloom, beautiful yet poignant.

"Brother Xiong, Brother Hei, Xiao Tu, Xiao Lei, Xiao Feng!" Xiao Rou looked around at everyone and then slowly said.

"The five of you, keep an eye on Ninth Brother for us and wait for him to wake up."

All good things must come to an end; we'll meet again someday.

After saying that, Xiaorou gently closed her eyes and said, "The source of life, endlessly!"

As Xiaorou whispered, her body suddenly began to flicker.

A moment later, the light disappeared, and Xiao Rou's figure vanished along with the dissipating light, as if she had never existed.

Instead, two drops of water appeared before everyone.

A drop of ink-black liquid, like a bright pearl in the night.

A drop of crystal clear water, just like the dew on a lotus leaf in the early morning.

The two water droplets floated silently in the air, emitting a faint glow.

They seem to have their own lives and consciousness, remaining close yet distant from each other, yet echoing one another.

Suddenly, one of the water droplets seemed to be drawn by some force, slowly drifting towards Zhu Chongjiu and eventually disappearing into his body.

The other drop of water stopped in front of Xiao Lei, as if waiting for his decision.

The remaining five little ones quietly waited for Zhu Chongjiu to wake up.

Zhu Chongjiu, who was originally emaciated and barely skin and bones, now had a new vitality on his face.

One month later, Xiao Tu, Xiao Lei, and Xiao Feng opened their eyes at the same time.

Xiao Lei and Xiao Feng, those four brothers all died heroically, making the three of us seem like outsiders.

At the beginning, due to the special nature of our origins, we couldn't accompany the four of them.

Now, Ninth Brother's body can not only withstand the combined power of the three of us, but it can also accelerate his recovery.

Should we go visit the three of them then?

"Xiao Tu is right. Xiao Jin and Xiao Huo risked their lives to take the sword for Ninth Brother."

Xiao Rou and Xiao Mu sacrificed their lives to save Ninth Brother.

Now, let the three of us brothers rebuild Ninth Brother's World Core!

Hahaha... I knew it!

At first, I thought Xiao Tu was trying to live a life of ignominy.

But after you said it, Ninth Brother's situation is like an ordinary person having a serious illness.

Although there are thousand-year-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) and ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, they cannot be given to patients.

This is the principle behind the saying "the weak cannot tolerate nourishment".

Xiao Mu and Xiao Rou are like medicinal herbs to regulate the body. After Ninth Brother's body has been regulated to a certain extent, then strong medicine will be taken.

Ninth Brother's body is now able to withstand our Source Spirit power.

Let’s get started!”

The three little ones didn't speak, but communicated with each other telepathically.

However, the aura emanating from the three little ones was still sensed by Xiao Hei and Xiong Da, who were standing nearby.

"Xiao Tu, Xiao Lei, Xiao Feng, what are you three up to?"

"Hehe! You guys still found out."

After giving a dry laugh to Xiao Hei Xiong and Da, Xiao Tu continued, "Brother Hei and Brother Xiong, I estimate that the remaining time will be spent traveling within this lawless cosmic cloud."

It's so frustrating.

So the three of us decided to go and keep the four of them company.

I'm leaving Ninth Brother in your care, along with Brother Xiong.

Especially you, Blackie, it was Ninth Brother who led you to conquer the world in the beginning.”

After he finished speaking, three angry roars rang out in succession.

"Based on the divine soil of the Breath of Earth, and incorporating the five-colored divine stones, the power of Houtu, and my own spirit, I will rebuild the foundation of the World Pill!"

"Rooted in the Chaos Thunder Source, and incorporating the myriad divine thunder laws, I will use my spirit to reforge the might of the Heavenly Punishment of the Realm Pill!"

"With my Wind Dao Origin, I will reforge the World Core and open up a supreme world. With my spirit, only with favorable winds can there be abundant harvests!"

"Boom..."

A muffled thud came from inside Zhu Chongjiu's body.

The stone bead that had been dormant in his dantian suddenly began to slowly rotate.

"Do not……!"

A mournful roar escaped from Zhu Chongjiu's mouth, who was still unconscious.

Two teardrops slowly rolled down his sides.
