The Ancestor of All Demons

Deng Yin and the Princess of Stone God came to Divine Sword Peak, naturally wanting the Elder Shibi and the Fire Spirit God to join their ranks.

"We plan to demonize this entire world, turning it completely into a Demon Realm! By then, all living beings in this world will become demons, and the Four Seas will all become a Blood Sea. I plan to designate the West Sea as the Asura Sea, granting the entire sea to you both, with the Asura Clan under your command, making you the Great Asura Kings!"

Deng Yin revealed his ambitious blueprint, making a solemn promise to the Elder Shibi and the Fire Spirit God.

"By then, although you two haven't ascended, it will be no different from having ascended. We won't need to go to the Demon Realm, because wherever we are, that is the Demon Realm!" The Princess of Stone God spoke such heroic words beside them, inspiring the fighting spirit of the two Asura Sect leaders.

These words would stir the blood of even those who are sect leaders of the Demon Cult, let alone those of unorthodox ways, or even people from the Mysterious Sect!

The Elder Shibi glanced at Shi Zhu, who was seated at the last seat, clutching the jade talisman he'd just handed over, and said to Deng Yin and the Princess of Stone God, "Do you two know what Master Yuan Yang said in this jade talisman? He said he's long known that you intend to demonize the whole world, killing all living beings here to turn them into demons. He said that as long as he's around, your wish will never be fulfilled."

What Shi Feiyang said in the jade talisman was not polite, it could even be described as domineering. However, Elder Shibi, trying to avoid conflict occurring within his place, translated it as gently as possible.

Deng Yin listened and snorted heavily, his anger barely concealed. Beside him, the Princess of Stone God clasped his hand, both comforting and encouraging him with a smile.

"Back in the day, I roamed the world, and apart from my senior brother Ren Shou, who else in the world was worth my notice? That Evil Dragon... hmph, though seemingly friendly with me, was always using me, first to deal with Xin Ru Nun and to help him seize the Xuanyuan Two Treasures, later using me to obtain the Chi You Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, not hesitating to kill me on the spot, nearly rendering my thousand-year hard-earned demon skills useless!"

Deng Yin harbored deep resentment against Shi Feiyang. After he recovered his memory and recalled how Shi Feiyang tricked him into swallowing the lotus seed, then used him to collect the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword and destroyed his body, he was greatly resentful.

He believed that Shi Feiyang ruined his body, causing him to be reborn in the Womb of Turtle and Snake, and then sealed his memories, all with ill intentions, deliberately suppressing him. Even if there was some kindness, it was just a guilty conscience after using him up, and a slight compensation.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Shi Zhu, and said with a sinister smile, "Go back and tell that Evil Dragon, tell him that in the future, the whole world will become a Blood Sea Demon Realm, with me as the Demon King Heavenly Lord. In consideration of our past relationship, I'll give him the South Sea and appoint him as the Blood Sea Dragon King.

Shi Zhu did not argue, not even sparing him a glance, he only looked at Elder Shibi: "In the old days, the two of us alongside the other four were collectively called the 'Cosmic Six Strange' by the True Master of Bliss. When it comes to mana, I am not inferior to either of you. But unorthodox paths are ultimately not the right way. Back when I had a great battle with my master, I lost to his Void Illusion Realm and realized the shortcomings of unorthodox paths. You two have already known the flaws in your own cultivation techniques for a long time. Fellow Daoist Shibi has even practiced Buddhist Law, wishing to cultivate to a proper fruition, while Fellow Daoist Huo Ling feared heaven's will and has been fervently cultivating in the Demon Palace all these years..."

The Princess of Stone God interrupted him with a smile before he could finish, "You were deceived by your 'master'! In those days, his mana and Dao level were far inferior to yours. He merely relied on the magic of the Xuanyuan Treasure, the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, to create an illusion with Lu Yu's assistance beside him, to win by trickery, otherwise, he would have been destroyed by you from the beginning. Why did he seal your memories in this life, not daring to let you remember past life matters? Isn't it because he's afraid that you'll remember and immediately turn against him?"

"No, it's not that, no." Shi Zhu explained, saying that in the past, he had reincarnated many times, but never managed to enter the Mysterious Sect, and during reincarnation, memories must be sealed to start anew.

The Princess of Stone God interrupted again with a smile, "This is precisely where your 'master's' treachery lies. He makes you believe that everything he does is for your good, even taking the initiative to tell you things from past lives, while actually hiding his sinister and malicious intents, only roughly telling you the parts where he was 'good' to you, making you be grateful and admit him as your 'master'!

This is his usual trick, he did the same to our Ah Yin, sealing Ah Yin's past life memories and then pretending to be kind. Until I found him, Ah Yin firmly believed that his brother was sincerely good to him. But after I restored his past memories, he realized that his brother had malice in mind from the very first meeting!"

Recalling the initial encounter with Shi Feiyang, he was always unwilling to let me directly leave the Liangyi Dust Formation. It was only with the instruction of the ancestor Ha Ha that I made a detour from another world. Even so, Shi Feiyang continued to stop me until the treasure was obtained in the Holy Mausoleum, and he was surrounded by the Emei Sect and the Buddhists and had no choice but to pull me over...

Scene after scene, Deng Yin had envisioned countless times in his mind. Every time he thought about it, it felt like Shi Feiyang had always been deceiving him, always using him!

The Princess of Stone God, who holds the highest secret scripture, the Blood God Scripture of the Demon Path, had refined her own demon skills to a supreme realm, especially after rescuing Deng Yin from Lingjiao Immortal Mansion, they both cultivated together the Good Volume of the Blood God Scripture.

Deng Yin, from beginning to end, never encountered the Good Volume of the Blood God Scripture. This thing had been chopped into a Hua Bi Pearl by one sword from Master Chang Mei long before he met it.

He only cultivated the Evil Book of the Blood God Scripture.

This time, finally united forever with his beloved and cultivating the Good Volume together, he instantly mended all the various defects in his past cultivation technique, and his strength was on par with that of the former Stone God Palace Master!

His strength greatly increased, and so did his confidence; he hardly put anyone in this world in his eyes.

The couple launched an attack on Shi Zhu, subtly using the Blood God Technique to influence his Primordial Spirit.

In that instant, Shi Zhu did have a tendency to waver, wanting to unlock his memory seal and fully experience his past lives from a first-person perspective.

Princess of Stone God and Deng Yin keenly captured this fleeting hesitation and continued, "We are all enemies of that Evil Dragon. Fellow Daoist Shi Pi once had a duel with that Evil Dragon at West Sea Island, East Sea's Little Penglai, to avenge his disciple, and later that Evil Dragon sent his disciple Shi Sheng to ruin Fellow Daoist Shi Pi's plans! As for Fellow Daoist Huo Ling, originally when True Master Jile ascended, with the friendship between you two, the True Liquid Holy Water in his silver bottle should have been given to you so that Water and Fire are in balance, enabling you to quickly achieve Dao, yet it was given to that Evil Dragon! And from our side, Fellow Daoist Jiulei's entire family perished under the Evil Dragon Sect..."

Having mentioned all that, he finally spoke of Shi Zhu: "Back then at the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, during your first battle with that Evil Dragon, it destroyed your physical body for a lifetime, and you almost completely turned into stone upon suffering a deviation. Later, when you came out of seclusion the second time, you were again plotted against by him! There are many details during this period that he never told you, only trying to curry favor with you. Why don't you dare to unlock the seal and have a look? If he is truly doing it for your good, nothing will change after you see it, but if he indeed has harmful intentions towards you and you don't lift the seal, wouldn't you be continually deceived and manipulated by him?"

Princess of Stone God added like a knife to the side: "He must be intending to use and scheme against you just like he did with Ah Yin from the beginning. Don't you want to see if it's true or not?"

This couple used both verbal attacks to pry at Shi Zhu's mental defenses and silently cast the highest level of Demon Path Techniques to affect Shi Zhu's mind.

Demon Path methods excel at controlling one's will, and if it were someone else, these two could easily turn them into puppets with a mere thought, making them do whatever they desired without hesitation, even self-harming with a knife and cutting themselves into pieces, with ease.

Old Shi Pi knew this well and didn't see them alone, saying only that the Asura Sect had both a Sect Master and a Vice Sect Leader, and the two brothers advanced and retreated together… So he specially brought the Fire Spirit God with him, the brothers appearing together to prevent their minds from being affected by Deng Yin and the others.

Sure enough, Shi Zhu entered into an internal struggle. As time went by, with his mana growing day by day, the seal placed on his memories by Shi Feiyang was becoming looser and looser. At this moment, his curiosity was aroused, and he involuntarily used his Primordial Qi to assault the seal, all being subconscious actions.

He continuously received scattered memory fragments from the seal, images of himself interacting with Li Jingxu a thousand years ago, scenes of dueling with Ancestor Haha, more scenes of cleansing in Wuzhong Ridge, and ones of continuous reincarnations in Central Earth.

Old Shi Pi suddenly gave a light cough, lightly waved his horsetail whisk, interrupting the spellcasting of Deng Yin and the others: "After all, this is the Asura Palace, I ask you two not to be so presumptuous."

Deng Yin was unhappy, his eyes flickered with Demon Light, intending to teach Old Shi Pi a lesson.

Princess of Stone God gently grasped his wrist, suppressing his temper, turned to Old Shi Pi, and said with a smile, "We were indeed a bit rude. We honestly mean no harm. Fellow Daoist Kuzhu was an old acquaintance of ours, and now being used and schemed against by his 'Master,' to end up like this, it's truly pitiable and lamentable! We merely wish for him to see the truth."

Old Shi Pi said, "Whether you want him to see the truth or not is not my concern, just do not practice such techniques on Divine Sword Peak."

Princess of Stone God smiled and nodded, "Ah, True Master Jile was an old acquaintance of ours too, it's a shame he ascended. The Cosmic Six Strange that he once evaluated… Ah Yin and I have an idea. The reason the Six Strange are called 'Strange' is because they all belong to the unorthodox paths, scorned by the Orthodox Sect. Ah Yin and I intend to find all six of you and complete the great undertaking of the Demon Realm together."

Old Shi Pi asked in astonishment, "Others might be, but Fellow Daoist Xin Ru is already a divine nun of the Buddhist Sect, how could she join you in demonizing the world?"

Princess of Stone God laughed, "As for Nun Xin Ru, ha-ha, Ah Yin and I have studied our sect's supreme secret lesson, the Blood God Scripture, and have had several remote exchanges with Nun Xin Ru, gaining some insights. Buddha is demon, demon is Buddha, Buddha is the manifestation of demon used to deceive the world, demon is the essence of Buddha used to harm others and benefit oneself. Nun Xin Ru vows to turn this world into the Pure Land of Buddha Country, while we vow to turn this world into a Blood Sea Demon Realm. Buddha Realm, Demon Realm, are in fact one realm; whether others see Buddha or demon entirely depends on each individual's karmic force."

After hearing these remarks, both Old Shi Pi and the Fire Spirit God abruptly changed their expressions, feeling an overwhelming sense of dread.
