Chapter Nineteenth: The Elixir of Immortality, Chang'e Flees to the Moon

  What an arrow!

  As if it had existed since ancient times, carrying an unstoppable momentum, piercing through the clouds and chasing after the moon, shattering space, and arriving instantly in front of the Tenth Prince.

  The tenth prince closed his eyes in despair, tears falling from his eyelids. The ninth elder brother, Little Ten has come!

  A loud and clear bell sound rang out beside the Tenth Prince, slowly calming his fears and sorrows. The Tenth Prince opened his eyes to see that the Primordial Treasure, the Hunyuan Bell, was rotating in front of him with a mysterious and inexplicable trajectory, and even the divine arrow that could pierce the sky couldn't shake it in the slightest.

  The tenth prince was overjoyed and cried out: "Uncle!"

  The Eastern Emperor turned his head and looked at the Tenth Prince with a pitiful gaze, then suddenly flashed a fierce look in his eyes and spoke to Hou Yi below, gritting his teeth: "Hou Yi, you have a big nerve, daring to shoot and kill my tribe's prince. Today is your day of death!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, Xun's hands grasped the chaotic clock, ready to destroy Hou Yi. However, a burst of eerie laughter suddenly came from afar, and just as the laughter stopped, the space ancestor Wu Di Jiang was already standing in front of Hou Yi.

  Di Jiang coldly said to Dong Huang Tai Yi, "Dong Huang Tai Yi, with us here, you will not be able to harm Hou Yi in the slightest!" As soon as his words fell, Gong Gong and Xiang Liu, two ancestral witches, appeared around him at the same time.

  "East Emperor Taiyi, the Daozu Hongjun ordered my witch tribe to control the earth. Now your demon clan's crown prince is rampaging through the desolate wilderness, destroying countless lives and killing my clansman Kuafu. How will you account for this to my witch tribe?!"

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi suddenly became angry and laughed, saying: "Later, Hou Yi will shoot and kill the crown prince of my demon clan. This account is hard to wipe out. My demon clan and your witch clan are not dead or alive!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Hun Dun Bao took the ten princes and drove the cloud to rush towards the Heavenly Court. Although he wanted to kill Hou Yi now, there were three great ancestor witches here, and his injury was not healed yet. If he dragged on, waiting for other ancestor witches to arrive, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

  Di Jiang snorted, saying to Gonggong and Jumang: "If it weren't for my Wu tribe lacking Hou Tu Bu, the twelve great heavenly arrays wouldn't have been formed, how could I tolerate this demon clan being so arrogant?"

  He patted Hou Yi's shoulder and said, "Hou Yi, this time you killed nine golden crows, which is a great slap in the face for the demon tribe and a big boost to our witch tribe's reputation! Hahaha, you're indeed a worthy disciple of our witch tribe!"

  Hou Yi respectfully bowed to the three ancestral witches and said, "Hou Yi thanks the ancestral witches for saving my life!" He sighed again and said, "But unfortunately, Kuafu brothers have already returned to the earth!" After finishing speaking, he handed over the peach wood stick in his hand to Xianmang.

  Jumu took over the peach wood staff, his hand gently stroking it, and sighed: "What a pity for Kuafu!"

  Di Jiang and Gong Gong were also disheartened! You should know that the Wu tribe was born without a Yuan Shen, so it's difficult to cultivate Taoist methods. They rely solely on their innate divine powers to dominate the world. It's rare for even one great witch to be born among millions of people, which is why great witches are so precious in the Wu tribe, with a status second only to the twelve ancestral witches! The fall of Kuafu has also dealt a significant blow to the Wu tribe.

  Gong Gong's eyes flashed with a fierce glint, and he immediately spoke in a murderous tone: "One day, my Wu clan will definitely kill off those demonic creatures!"

  Gongzi slightly calmed down, patted Hou Yi's shoulder and laughed: "Hou Yi, you've been out for a long time, hurry back to the tribe, Chang'e has been waiting at home for a long time!" After that, another burst of loud laughter.

  Hou Yi burst out laughing at the words, his face turning red with mirth. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of that woman who had captivated his heart, a faint smile of happiness flickering on his lips.

  Three ancestral witches saw the situation and smiled at each other, then returned to their respective tribes, leaving Hou Yi behind. By the time Hou Yi came back to his senses, the three ancestral witches had long since left. Hou Yi shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts in his mind, and set off towards the Gonggong tribe. In the distance, a woman was leaning against the railing, looking out with her head raised!

  But in the heavenly court, Emperor Jun looked at the golden crow fragments under his feet, and two lines of blood tears fell on his face. He trembled with both hands holding those fragments, gritting his teeth and saying: "If I cannot avenge my child, what is the use of being the Heavenly Emperor?" Suddenly, he turned around and stared tightly at the Tenth Prince.

  The tenth son felt the pressure from Emperor Jun, and was just about to apologize to him, but saw Emperor Jun speak first: "Xiao Shi! From today on, I will send you to the palace of the Queen of Heaven to listen to the great Tao of the saints. Without my order as your father, you are not allowed to leave the palace of the Queen of Heaven, did you hear that!" The last sentence was sternly shouted at the tenth son.

  The tenth prince had gone through great difficulties with his elder brother and had grown up a lot. He didn't dare to disobey, but cried out: "Father, take care!"

  Di Jun gazed at him with a lingering look and then said to Dong Huang Tai Yi, "Younger brother, I'll have to trouble you again to take Xiao Shi to the palace of the Queen of Heaven!"

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi sighed and said, "I understand, younger brother!" After finishing speaking, he bid farewell to Emperor Jun and took the tenth prince towards the palace of Empress Wa. Emperor Jun looked at the two figures disappearing into the distance, then turned his head to look in the direction of the rear hall, "Xihe, ah! Xihe!"

  Dong Huang Taiyi brought the tenth prince to the front of the Queen of Wu's palace, only to see Cai Feng Xianzi already waiting outside the gate. Cai Feng Xianzi bowed and said: "Cai Feng has seen the Emperor! The queen has a message, Your Majesty can hand over the tenth prince to me, and I will ensure his safety in the Queen of Wu's palace!"

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi heard the words and bowed to the Empress Dowager's palace, saying: "Taiyi thanks the Empress Dowager for her kindness!" Then he said to the Tenth Prince: "Little Ten, your uncle is leaving now. You must take good care of yourself and not be rude to the Holy One!"

  The tenth prince nodded and replied with tears in his eyes: "Nephew understands, uncle take care!"

  The Eastern Emperor Taiyi took another look at the Tenth Prince and immediately turned around and rushed towards the Heavenly Court without looking back.

  In the human world, a woman was born with a beauty that could sink fish and shame flowers. Her name was Chang'e. Chang'e and Hou Yi, the great shaman of the Wu tribe, fell in love and got married, living a happy life envying only the lovebirds but not the immortals. Ten years passed like this, one day while Chang'e was dressing in front of the mirror, she discovered that her face already had some faint wrinkles that were almost invisible. Humans are destined to age easily, if they don't cultivate their lifespan, it can't compare with the Wu tribe's. Therefore, Chang'e became depressed every day because of her gradually fading beauty. Hou Yi knew about this and promised her that he would definitely find an elixir for her to live forever young, Chang'e finally had a smile again, but in her heart, there was still a thorn stuck, making her worried about it!

  Today, Chang'e was at home thinking of Hou Yi, when suddenly an old immortal with white hair and a long beard appeared in the house. Chang'e was startled and hastily bowed to the old immortal, saying: "Chang'e has seen the immortal elder! I don't know what brings the immortal elder here?"

  The old immortal smiled and said, "Chang'e! For ten days the Honghuang was in chaos, but later Hou Yi shot down the sun with merit. The Heavenly Queen specially bestowed a golden elixir to commend Hou Yi's achievements. Since he is not here now, I will give the golden elixir to you!"

  With that, he took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it to Chang'e. Under her astonished gaze, he vanished into thin air!

  Chang'e stared blankly at the box in her hand, opened the lid, and after a dazzling flash of golden light, she saw that inside the box was a golden elixir emitting a refreshing fragrance, incredibly enticing!

  She didn't know that the Golden Crow was the son of Xihe, the Heavenly Queen, but only knew that the Heavenly Queen was from the demon tribe, while Hou Yi was from the witch tribe. The two tribes had a deep-seated grudge against each other, so why would the Heavenly Queen give the golden elixir to Hou Yi? But now Chang'e couldn't think about these things anymore, her attention had been completely absorbed by the golden elixir, and she stared at it blankly, as if staring at hope itself!

  It seemed like a thousand years had passed, yet it was just an instant. Chang'e came back to her senses. She looked at the golden elixir in her hand, her eyes shining with determination, and muttered to herself: "Hou Yi, my husband, we will be together forever!"

  She swallowed the golden elixir in her hand, and a burst of sacred aura suddenly rose from Chang'e, making her look even more ethereal and holy, as if she were an immortal who didn't eat mortal incense and should have come from heaven! A strong pulling force came from the sky, and Chang'e was unable to resist being pulled up by this force, rushing straight towards the Taiyin star. She frantically shouted in mid-air, but it was all in vain!

  A long whistle came from afar, Chang'e heard it and exclaimed with great joy: "Hou Yi, come quickly to save me!"

  Hou Yi rushed to Chang'e's feet, watching her fly rapidly towards the sky. He was in a great hurry and loudly called out to Chang'e, but she flew higher and higher until she disappeared into the clouds, her figure no longer visible!

  Above the high sky, Chang'e looked at her descendants on earth, a line of tears flowing down. Since she secretly ate that immortal pill, there has been a strong premonition in her heart, as if this life would be separated from Hou Yi. Now looking at Hou Yi's increasingly tiny figure, she finally shed tears of regret.

  Do we really have to be apart forever?!

  Chang'e's figure had long since disappeared into the sky, rushing to the star of Taiyin. Later, Hou Yi stared blankly in the direction where Chang'e had disappeared, and for a while he could hardly accept the fact that Chang'e had left him!

  It is: Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir of immortality, with a heart that's been longing for the blue sea and green sky night after night!
