Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

```

Chu Qin and Li Qingcheng witnessed a somewhat surprising scene, as various "Red Demon Monsters" crowded atop the flying beasts!

As their name implies, these creatures were completely red and had heads resembling demons, each holding a bloody curved saber in their hands!

At the same time, a group of humans were bound by these Red Demon Monsters!

Upon seeing Chu Qin and Li Qingcheng suddenly appear, all the Red Demon Monsters turned their gaze towards them!

Simultaneously, their bodies lit up with a bloody radiance!

"What kind of creatures are these!" Li Qingcheng exclaimed in surprise.

"Who are you!" Chu Qin asked coldly yet with a hint of surprise, staring at the Red Demon Monsters.

"Wa wa wa..." However, the Red Demon Monsters seemed unable to speak the human tongue, chattering in a language that Chu Qin couldn't understand at all!

But the next second, the leading Red Demon Monster clad in armor had already teleported in front of Chu Qin and swung its saber at him!

Chu Qin was keenly aware of its strike, but with a slight focus of his eyes, a terrifying spiritual power was released instantly. It repelled the armored Red Demon Monster and stunned all the Red Demon Monsters, knocking them unconscious to the ground!

Following that, Chu Qin and Li Qingcheng approached the group of bound humans.

Under the operation of Chu Qin's Divine Power, the previously unconscious group gradually came to their senses one after another.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" a middle-aged man was the first to regain consciousness, shouting in utter terror.

"Good, they speak our language," Chu Qin said with a light smile.

"Eh, you... you're not from the Blood Demon, what are you?" The middle-aged man, seeing that Chu Qin and Li Qingcheng looked human and spoke articulately, seemed to relax his guard a bit.

"We two saved you, so we should be asking you that first. Who are you?" Chu Qin said.

"Saved us? You're from the Holy Domain Alliance too?" the middle-aged man slowly transitioned from shock to joy.

"Holy Domain Alliance?" Chu Qin and Li Qingcheng were slightly taken aback.

"Ah? You're not from the Holy Domain Alliance?" the middle-aged man asked in confusion.

"First, tell us who you are and where you come from," Chu Qin said.

"My name is Li Qing, from the Holy Domain Alliance, Earthly Immortal Sect!" Li Qing replied.

"Earthly Immortal Sect?" Chu Qin and Li Qingcheng echoed in surprise.

"Yes!" Li Qing nodded, looking towards those waking up beside him, "All of us here are from the Earthly Immortal Sect!"

"Who's your sect hierarch?" Chu Qin quickly asked.

"Infinite Heavens' number one powerhouse, Holy Domain Alliance leader, Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign!" Li Qing answered.

Chu Qin's pupils constricted slightly. Wasn't Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign the founder of the Earthly Immortal Sect, Qing Yu's ancestor!

"You two are not from the Holy Domain Alliance?" Li Qing asked in confusion.

"I'm from the Infinite Immortal Domain," Li Qingcheng replied.

"I knew it! If you're not from the Holy Domain Alliance, how could you possibly appear in this Primordial Ancient Forest!" Li Qing laughed, "Turns out we are allies after all!"

"Allies, please release us, we need to get back to the Holy Domain Alliance quickly!" Li Qing continued, "Otherwise, if someone from the Blood Demon Fiend arrives later!"

"What is this Blood Demon Fiend?" Chu Qin asked, as he freed the people.

"Ally, you don't know the Blood Demon Fiend? Are you really from Infinite Heavens?" before Li Qing could speak, another disciple from the Earthly Immortal Sect said.

"Just tell me, what exactly is this Blood Demon Fiend?" Chu Qin urged.

"The Blood Demon Fiend is a mysterious creature that invaded Infinite Heavens countless years ago!" Li Qing explained, "They consist of these Blood Demons on the ground, and no one knows where they come from. However, they are incredibly powerful, possessing many Venerate of Heavens level powerhouses. Upon entering Infinite Heavens, they took over countless territories, killing many creatures. Fortunately, the Blood Dragon Venerable of the Sanctuary launched a resistance, descended to the mortal world, and united Earthly Immortal Sect and Infinite Heavens to form the Holy Domain Alliance to fight the Blood Demon Fiend!"

"So the mysterious creature from the Ancient Era's war was the Blood Demon Fiend!" Chu Qin realized.

They had traveled to the Ancient Era!

By now, the Blood Dragon Venerable and Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign had already formed the Holy Domain Alliance to combat this mysterious Blood Demon Fiend!

"Ally, what did you say?" Li Qing asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, continue," Chu Qin replied.

"Well! The Holy Realm Sovereign led the alliance to reclaim half of the Infinite Heavens territory, ultimately making the Primordial Ancient Forest the dividing line. To the east, the Holy Domain Alliance, to the west, the Blood Demon Fiend territory," Li Qing explained.

"Hmm," Chu Qin and Li Qingcheng nodded in understanding.

"No wonder this Primordial Ancient Forest is so deserted," Chu Qin mused, "It's the center of the battlefield!"

"That's why, allies, let's hurry and go back to the Holy Domain Alliance!" Li Qing urged.

"You go first, Qingcheng and I still have things to do," Chu Qin told Li Qing.

"All right then, thanks to both of you for your help, be careful!" Li Qing said to Chu Qin and Li Qingcheng.

Having said that, Li Qing and the other Earthly Immortal Sect disciples scrambled towards the Holy Domain Alliance's direction.

"Qingcheng, it looks like we really did travel through time!" Chu Qin remarked.

"Hmm, the current leader of the Earthly Immortal Sect is Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign. It must be the great war of the Ancient Era," Li Qingcheng nodded lightly.

"Now I finally know what creatures invaded the Infinite Heavens in the Ancient Era, it's this Blood Demon Fiend!" Chu Qin also nodded in agreement.

"Chu Qin, what do we do now?" asked Li Qingcheng.

"We must find Xuan Wu Tian Zun and Xiaowu first, this place is very dangerous!" Chu Qin stated.

"But where do we start looking?" Li Qingcheng inquired.

"Right, the Compass of the World Tree!" Chu Qin suddenly realized, "I gave each of them a leaf from the World Tree, as long as we follow the aura of the World Tree, we should be able to find them!"

Chu Qin closed his eyes and activated the memory Compass from the World Tree.

However, to Chu Qin's surprise, there was no response from the World Tree's leaves.

```

"Could it be that Xiaowu and the others didn't come over!" Chu Qin immediately realized, "The leaves of the World Tree have the ability to cross spatial limitations. Now, with no trace of their presence responding, it means that Xiaowu and the others are not in this space-time. They probably didn't come!"

"At the last moment, the self-destruction of the Divine Ghost Celestial Honored One destroyed the Primordial Array. If they didn't come over, they should be safe." Li Qingcheng indicated to Chu Qin to be at ease.

"Hmm, let's hope so," Chu Qin nodded.

"What we need to do now is to find the chaotic ancient air currents and return to our own space-time!" Chu Qin continued.

"Hmm!" Li Qingcheng also nodded in agreement.

"Let's go!" Chu Qin said, leading Li Qingcheng as they wandered through the Primordial Ancient Forest, searching high and low. However, along the way, they didn't encounter any people, any creatures, let alone the chaotic ancient air currents.

Moreover, the previous great battle had consumed a great deal of Divine Power, and the continuous Divine Sense searching had also drained a great amount of Spiritual Power.

Consequently, the two came upon a mountain cave and decided to rest there for a bit.

Chu Qin set up a seal outside the cave.

"Let's adjust ourselves here for a while," Chu Qin said.

"Hmm!" With that, Li Qingcheng sat down cross-legged.

Chu Qin also closed his eyes and directly opened the Mountains and Seas Otherworld Map.

This time, Chu Qin easily defeated a Demon Eye Pixiu of a certain level, acquiring the Pixiu Demon Eye!

The Pixiu Demon Eye, like the Eye of the World, is a powerful spiritual detection magical skill!

Together they would be stronger.

Chu Qin believed that at this moment, his Divine Sense would surely undergo a great enhancement.

Out of safety considerations, Chu Qin did not immediately release his Divine Sense.

He paused, wanting to call out to the Blood Dragon Venerable, but it seemed that the Blood Dragon Venerable had already fallen into a deep slumber, and Chu Qin could not get any response.

Chu Qin, therefore, stopped thinking about it and directly closed his eyes, drifting off to sleep.

The next day, Chu Qin woke up to the alluring aroma of meat.

Chu Qin opened his eyes and found that Li Qingcheng was actually preparing "hot pot"!

"Qingcheng, what is this?" Chu Qin said with a hint of surprise and delight.

"Chu Qin, you're awake! Here!" Li Qingcheng smiled tenderly, handing over a jade dish filled with various kinds of vegetables and meats.

The wide array of meats and vegetables, with their bright colors and the naturally formed golden layer of oil, were drool-worthy!

"Did you make this?" Chu Qin, taking the jade dish, smiled slightly.

"Hmm, I knew you must be hungry! These ingredients were given to me by your two aunts, and the cooking method is also just as the two aunts do it," Li Qingcheng nodded, "Taste it and see how my cooking skills are."

"Hmm, not bad! " Chu Qin exclaimed in admiration while eating the uniquely flavored meat that was soft, fragrant, and melt-in-your-mouth tender.

It was genuinely good. Chu Qin, a true foodie with high standards for cuisine, found Li Qingcheng's cooking skills to be top-notch, on par with Qin Sijing's and Saint Lu's excellence.

"That's great, you eat more!" Seeing Chu Qin satisfied, Li Qingcheng said happily.

"I never thought you could cook!" Chu Qin, with a light smile, commented.

"Chu Qin, to tell you the truth, before I stopped eating grain, I was a well-known glutton in the Infinite Immortal Domain." Li Qingcheng's smile was radiant, "I often sneaked into the kitchen to steal food to eat, and later, when the kitchen's uncle's master caught me, instead of blaming me, he taught me how to cook!"

A different smile appeared on Chu Qin's face, as he truly hadn't expected that a Saint-level figure revered in the Infinite Heavens could have such an untold past!

However, this matched his own wishes perfectly; his women should have their own personalities. Too much propriety, and Chu Qin would feel it not to be right.

Over the years, each woman that came into Chu Qin's life, under his mentorship, adopted a cheerful and lively character to some extent.

"I never thought you had this side to you, Qingcheng," Chu Qin said with a smile.

Li Qingcheng's expression changed slightly, her mood dimming. "Unfortunately, later on, that master passed away!"

"How did he pass away?" Chu Qin's eyebrows raised.

"He was poisoned by a powerful toxin from the Five Poisons Sect!" Li Qingcheng said sorrowfully, "I watched, helpless, as my master died in agony right in front of me. Since then, I began wandering all over the place, doing my best to save the beings of the world who are in pain."

"But..." Li Qingcheng's expression became even more sorrowful, "I couldn't even save my own disciple."

Chu Qin's hand naturally landed on Li Qingcheng's hand, "Qingcheng, don't worry. I have already promised you, and I won't go back on my word. I will definitely save your disciple."

In Chu Qin's heart, Li Qingcheng had long since become his love. How could he bear to see his beloved so sad?

"Thank you, Chu Qin!" Li Qingcheng looked at Chu Qin sincerely.

Chu Qin took the opportunity to embrace Li Qingcheng in his arms.

Li Qingcheng was slightly surprised but seemed not to resist, and instead, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart.

Seeing Li Qingcheng not resisting, Chu Qin grew bolder and said softly, "Qingcheng, if I save your disciple, how about becoming my woman?"

But Li Qingcheng shook her head.

Chu Qin's pupils moved slightly, "Why?"

"Love should never become a transaction!" Li Qingcheng looked at Chu Qin earnestly and said, "Chu Qin, if you truly love me, then I'm willing to be your woman, because I've realized that I've also fallen for you!"

Chu Qin's face broke into a sweet smile, and he leaned in to kiss Li Qingcheng's lips.

Li Qingcheng also closed her eyes, savoring this beautiful moment.

"Ding! Detected that Goddess Li Qingcheng has willingly fallen in love with the host, achieving 100% of Li Qingcheng's Goddess's Favorability. Received the celestial-grade magical skill: Primordial Spirit Ten Divine Transformations!"

Chu Qin wanted to take bolder actions with Li Qingcheng, but was shyly and gently refused by her, "Chu Qin, although I'm already your woman, I feel that inside this cave, it just doesn't feel quite right."

Clearly, Li Qingcheng was more conservative.

"All right then!" Chu Qin said with a smile, "We'll talk about it when we get back!"
