Master of Strange Dao

It was a pity that they paid with their lives, for at the moment of completion, a sliver of a gap had already been pried open, and the sealed items were never taken out.

Whether it was intentional or out of fear to come back in and take away the sealed items, the thought was rather ironic.

Yu Ziqing approached the two elders and bowed.

"Esteemed seniors, your righteousness is admirable; I am in awe.

I wish to see those sealed items forever preserved intact, erasing all traces of time here.

Unfortunately, my opinion doesn't matter at all, be it great figures or schemers; no one would listen to me.

Now, we can only find a good result among the bad things.

Those devils were troublesome in the past; now they have their nemesis, which offers some hope.

The two of you did not do a futile task. Had it not been for you two, there would surely have been devastation, with devils running rampant.

Now let me take on the baton from you two and try to solve those devils, so you two may rest in peace."

After finishing his words to himself, Yu Ziqing bowed with cupped hands.

Suddenly, he saw the two skeletons collapse with a crash, scattering on the ground like the others.

Yu Ziqing looked at the skeletons, unsure if his disturbance caused those fragile bones to fall, or if the residual obsessions of the two heard the words.

In any case, let's assume the two elders agreed.

Yu Ziqing took out some containers and collected the bones of these two elders, labeling and organizing them to avoid confusion.

Then he proceeded to collect the bones of the remaining people, one by one.

When he finished all this, he noticed a storage bag had revealed a corner from the ground where one of the elders had sat.

Upon retrieving the storage bag, the imprint on it had completely disappeared.

He opened it to find the Spiritual Medicine had withered, the Pills tainted by the Demonic Qi, and the Magical Treasure corroded by the Demonic Qi.

Only a few sealed Jade Scrolls and a golden Metal Book still resisted the demonic corrosion.

Yu Ziqing took out a Metal Book, which had only the first page engraved with some writing.

"Whoever you are, being able to see these words means the seal has been opened.

I hope you have found a way to deal with that Heavenly Demon.

He is not an ordinary devil but a transformed Heavenly Demon, named Freedom Heaven.

He eroded Emperor Zhen, and Emperor Zhen, strong and unyielding, was unable to drive him out, intending to perish together with him.

Unfortunately, Emperor Zhen became a near Tenth Tier powerhouse after entering the Devilic state.

The Heavenly Demon lay hidden, and no one in the world could destroy his body.

Regrettably, by the time my brother and I discovered this, it was too late; we could only muster all our strength, with the help of the Heavenly Monarch, to seal him.

If you see this, the Heavenly Demon has been sealed once again.

Please do return those several Jade Scrolls to the Feng family or the Yin Family, as they were our life's work, lost abroad, dishonoring our ancestors.

When the time comes, the sealing families will surely offer a great reward.

If the Heavenly Demon has not been sealed again, you better run.

Run out, survive, and tell these events to the people outside."

Yu Ziqing closed the Metal Book, realizing the metal book pages he had seen earlier were made of the same material as this book.

Originally, their idea was to separate the Heavenly Demon from the severed limbs for sealing.

But in the end, there was no choice but to seal the entire Sorrow Cave Heaven with one book.

They should have known such a hasty seal might not hold for long.

In just over a hundred years, only one page of the Metal Book remained golden.

Yu Ziqing collected all these items and casually popped a Pill, which had already turned into a Devil Pill, into his mouth.

Feeling the energy within, now transformed into pure Demonic Qi, Yu Ziqing nodded secretly.

He thought it more useful than a bucket of Demonic Qi.

Right after finishing these tasks, Yu Ziqing sensed subtle battle fluctuations.

He floated into the air, gazing toward the horizon, and pushing his vision to the limit, he vaguely saw a leg descending from the sky, while on the other side, Divine Light was bursting with more vigorous energy.

It seemed King Xiang had found his father's severed leg and started fighting...

From the fluctuation, King Xiang seemed to have the upper hand; yet, who knew how he managed to control a severed leg, still moving and fighting, which belonged to a Devilic Body Cultivation practitioner.

The irritating thing about a Ninth Tier Body Cultivation was indeed its undying nature.

Yu Ziqing could not meddle with this matter and could only hope King Xiang had thought of a strategy, rather than acting on hot impulse.

He landed on the ground as his Yin God, who had always kept eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

Yu Ziqing spun around and gazed at a tree in the distance.

There, a human-shaped figure, with a grotesquely wide grin, sat on a branch, staring at him.

Surprised at Yu Ziqing's gaze, the figure floated down from the tree, smiling heartily.

"You can see me?"

Yu Ziqing took a gentle breath, letting out a heartfelt sigh.

"You smell delicious… Hahaha..."

He burst into laughter as he spoke, mood lifting rapidly.

He somewhat understood why Cece would be delighted, smiling ear to ear like crescent moons when consuming the Devil Thoughts.

It wasn't that he wasn't susceptible to temptation, but that those rubbish Devil Thoughts simply weren't tempting enough.

Just like now, he felt a hunger, an inner itch, prompting instinctive reactions.

He was hungry and, indeed, craving.
