Wait a minute, where is my master?

With the guidance of Senior Chi,

the Kunlun Immortal Palace, once elusive and off-limits to mortals, soon came into the view of the group.

They did not stop as they passed through the mountain gate.

The Ancestor of the Immortal Palace waved his sleeve, and a gap slightly larger than Little Purple Spirit Elephant opened up in the lingering clouds encircling the mountain gate.

Streaks of light flew in one after the other, soaring over the lofty mountain ranges and various magnificent and imposing pavilions and towers, heading straight towards the inner depths of the Kunlun Immortal Palace.

After Little White had eaten the time it takes to devour a chicken leg,

the group arrived at their destination.

"Jin Taoist, this place is the forbidden land of our sect,"

Senior Chi said, as he lightly hopped down from his flying magical treasure. Close behind him was Little Purple Spirit, who was adamant about not riding in the Taoist's golden light shield again.

As the sound of his words faded, Jin Xu also descended to the ground with the two women.

"Senior, the prohibitions of your sect's forbidden land are indeed quite interesting,"

the Taoist said after landing and dispelling the golden light shield, looking around curiously.

At this moment, they stood in a huge open space covered in fresh green grass, surrounded by various steep and rugged mountains enclosing the space tightly without any gaps.

But on this greenery, Jin Xu saw no objects that could signify the status of the forbidden land of the Kunlun Immortal Palace.

Where his gaze fell, he discovered that the vast open space was sparsely dotted with eight or nine thatched huts, ordinary beyond measure.

"Hahaha, Jin Taoist, you jest. It is merely a technique of holding a world in a grain of sand, hiding the sun and moon within a pot,"

Senior Chi chuckled modestly as he stroked his beard, but the expression on his face clearly showed immense satisfaction from the Taoist's interesting comment about his sect's forbidden land.

"Let's go, the hut that contains the seal of the Demon Lord is at the very back. I will lead the way for you all.

"Remember, although it seems quite ordinary here, various prohibitions are laid out around each hut, so please be careful,"

the Ancestor of the Immortal Palace mainly warned the two women and the elephant.

Well... to be more exact, he was reprimanding the husky that, out of curiosity, had sneakily approached a hut, seemingly ready to pull out some straw to see if it could be taken for cooking.

"Senior Chi, rest assured, please lead the way,"

Jin Xu replied warmly, while casting a helpless look towards his own husky.

"Little White, you are in someone else's forbidden land, you must not be mischievous! Look at your sister Little Yu, how sensible she is."

"Temple master... it was Little Yu who told me to pull out a straw to see if we could use it for cooking,"

said the husky, returning disappointed after being called by the Taoist, speaking in an incredibly honest tone.

"...Yu Yaoer, have you started teaching Little White bad habits now?!"

Jin Xu looked drained as he directed his gaze to the Little Fish Demon who had silently bowed her head, unable to even see her own toes, and bit down on his back teeth, forcing out such a sentence.

"Cough, master, let's hurry and seek revenge for Little Purple Spirit,"

Yu Yaoer, after hearing her master's reprimand, rushed over in a few steps to wrap her arms around the Taoist's arm, cooing softly.

At the same time, catching her eye signal, Little White also darted over, imitating her by wrapping around Jin Xu's other arm.

"You two..."

The Taoist turned his head to look at his 'captured' arms and the Purple Spirit Elephant not far in front who didn't seem to understand what was happening but was eager to leap forward.

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and say,

"Sigh. Let it be, I'll deal with you two after finishing the important business,"

Having said that, he dragged the two treasures with him, swaggering along the path that Senior Chi had taken towards the thatched cottage deep within.

Along the way, the little Taoist noticed that next to the doors of these seemingly ordinary thatched cottages hung wooden plaques inscribed with different characters.

Some read 'Refining Essence and Transforming Qi,' some read 'Craft of Ghosts and Gods,' and others read 'Yin Yang Five Elements.'

But the strangest of all was the cottage next to the one sealing the Demon Lord, boldly marked with 'Five Grains Reincarnation.'

"Senior Chi, what is this... cottage for?"

Jin Xu, who watched 'Journey to the West' every summer and winter vacation, had a deep impression of these four characters. Thus, unable to contain his curiosity and with a look of deep confusion, he addressed the Immortal Palace Ancestor who had long been waiting next to the cottage that sealed the Demon Lord.

"Cough, this place was built by an Ancestor of our Kunlun Immortal Palace in the Nine Provinces, following the lineage of that Taoist Ancestor. He said... since they are all cottages, how could there be no toilets? So..."

"Cough, Taoist, the important matter at hand is critical, the Demon Lord is sealed in the cottage behind me, let's go inside and discuss thereafter,"

Senior Chi, with an embarrassed expression, briefly explained before hurriedly changing the subject, and then he formed a seal with his hand and struck the thatched cottage behind him with it.

"...Your sect's Ancestor must also be a wonderful character,"

Jin Xu remarked mysteriously, while glancing at the two treasures on his arm.

He really wanted to ask if anyone had actually used the toilet, but his reasoning, and Senior Chi's urgent reaction, held back that thought.

"Buzz!"

A faint vibration arose from the plain thatched cottage.

Following the Immortal Palace Ancestor's seal, countless prohibition patterns and mystical symbols began to emerge from each straw of the thatched cottage.

A moment later.

The door of the cottage opened inward automatically, revealing a reflective water ripple inside the doorway, reflecting the image of everyone present.

"Taoist, please,"

The Immortal Palace Ancestor gestured with an open arm.

Seeing this, Jin Xu didn't hesitate and dragged the two girls inside with him.

By his side, the Little Purple Spirit Elephant also followed them in, under the instructions of Senior Chi.

It is worth mentioning that although the cottage door was only tall enough for one person, as Little Purple Spirit, which was over three meters tall, stepped forward, its height seemed to be twisted by some force, and it entered smoothly without disturbances.

After everyone had gone in, the Immortal Palace Ancestor, who had been continuously forming seals with his hand, stepped forward and his figure disappeared on the spot.

The large area covered with eight or nine thatched cottages returned to its usual tranquil state in the blink of an eye.

...

...

The Demon Lord, pierced by bright silver chains and suspended in the air.

At this moment, feeling the presence of someone entering the confinement suppressing him, he suddenly raised his head that had not been lowered long ago.

"The aura of the little ones from the Demon Clan?

"Hmm!? Senior Chi, you've already reached the True World Immortal Realm and still haven't ascended to the Upper Realm, could it be that you can't let go of this old friend? Or are you worried that your useless disciples and grandchildren won't be able to keep me sealed after your ascension?"

The Demon Lord first sensed the presence of Yu Yaoer and the others, appearing somewhat puzzled.

Afterwards, he sensed the Immortal Palace Ancestor also entering the confinement.
