The Ancestor of All Demons

The Fire Spirit God was truly shaken by the last Golden Orb Celestial Sun Divine Flame Heavenly Element Great Method. He too played with fire, not only refining the Asura Divine Flame of his sect to the extreme but also gathering and sacrificially refining the flames of other factions. However, the flames he eventually refined all turned into demonic flames. Although these demonic flames were strange and had many wonderful uses, compared to Shi Feiyang's righteous and glorious Immortal Techniques that illuminated the heavens, they paled in comparison.

The reason he so readily agreed to reincarnation and hoped to become a disciple of Shi Feiyang in the next life was to learn this spell!

He quickly settled his affairs, then spent three days cleansing and calming himself in a quiet room, before igniting himself with his most powerful demon fire from within, burning himself to death.

This demon fire had been cultivated by him for over a thousand years, at the cost of countless efforts, and had been used to kill countless lives. Ultimately, ending his life with it was a way to repay some karma.

After his death, Shi Feiyang sealed his memories and had Lin Han take his Primordial Spirit for reincarnation.

Lin Han took his Primordial Spirit to the East Coast and found a wealthy family in Everday City where a woman was just pregnant. The Fire Spirit God's Primordial Spirit was sent into the belly of the pregnant woman, and after ten months, a baby girl with excellent innate talents was born. Shi Feiyang then had Lin Han accept her as a disciple.

He had already closed the doors too many times and did not want to close them again. Moreover, he was extremely busy these days, with countless matters inside the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain and now the Central Earth being opened. Although he had the method of dividing his consciousness, he could not handle so many things at once and had no energy to accept another disciple.

Furthermore, the origins of the Fire Spirit God were extraordinary, and he had karmic ties with the family he reincarnated into. This rebirth could be considered a return to the rightful path.

Moreover, that day Shi Zhu, along with Ruan Zheng and Ming Shu, rapidly fled to Emei Mountain, where the Three Immortals and Two Elders, along with Li Yingqiong and the other available brothers and sisters, greeted them at the entrance of Taiyuan Immortal Mansion.

Kuzhu Elder, having a very high seniority and having helped the Emei Sect a lot in the past, was someone Emei Sect would have befriended long ago if not for Shi Feiyang intervening. This time he saved Ruan Zheng, so the Emei Sect put on their most grand ceremony to welcome the distinguished guests.

The Three Immortals and Two Elders, along with Xun Lanyin and Master Can Xia, were all capable of ascension. However, if they left, the Emei Sect would certainly be entirely annihilated in the subsequent celestial tribulations unless they went to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to seek refuge with Shi Feiyang. Otherwise, none could escape.

They were not as fortunate as the Kunlun Sect, which had the Blood God Son Deng Yin as an archenemy, who had long vowed to kill everyone from the Emei Sect, leaving no survivor.

Thus, not only Li Yingqiong's generation of Heavenly Immortals but also the generation of the Three Immortals and Two Elders stayed behind.

Ruan Zheng was taken for healing by Shen Tuhong and Zhuge Jingwo and others, while Ming Shu was taken by Yu Yingnan, Shen Ruolan, and several other female disciples. She still had a Golden Saber and Golden Sword pinned in her head and chest, was covered in blood, and had divine demons ready to counterattack at any moment. Yu Yingnan and others took her to a side cave, temporarily suppressed the demon with Taiqing Immortal Technique, removed the swords from her body, administered the Immortal Pill, treated her wounds, and finally changed her into clean clothes.

Ruan Zheng was similarly treated, while Shi Zhu was welcomed to a meeting place by the Three Immortals and Two Elders and others.

The conversation between both sides was straightforward and brief: "The Blood God Son will arrive soon."

Qi Shuming nodded: "They are already outside Emei Mountain."

Shi Zhu said: "The Blood God Son was originally an Emei outcast. He wants to kill all living beings in this world and turn it into a demon realm. The Emei Sect cannot remain uninvolved."

Qi Shuming acknowledged: "But Emei Sect alone cannot eliminate the Blood God Son. When will Master Yuan Yang arrive?"

Shi Zhu pondered and said: "My master has something very important to do and cannot come to Central Earth for the time being. He said, however, that he believes the Emei Sect will find a way."

The Three Immortals and Two Elders exchanged looks, unable to hide their disappointment in their eyes, but said nothing further.

They remained silent, and Shi Zhu repeated: "My master said that the Emei Sect will certainly have a way to eliminate the Blood God Son."

Qi Shuming listened and gave a bitter smile: "There is indeed a way to deal with him, but there is no guarantee we can truly annihilate him." With that, he instructed Golden Cicada to retrieve a Jade Box from an inner cave.

Before Master Chang Mei ascended, he prophesied that there would be a traitor to the sect in the future, purposely leaving behind a Jade Box, inside of which was a Golden Saber.

He did not specify for whom it was prepared, only saying it was for the traitor of the Emei Sect.

Afterwards, the only one who left the Emei Sect as a traitor was Master Xiao Yue, who, knowing the power of the Golden Saber, lived cautiously. Later, he went through great lengths to retrieve the Broken Jade Hook from Huangshan Purple Gold Ridge, forged by the ancient Gonggong. Believing he could resist the family punishment flying knife from the Jade Box, he began to act wantonly, openly causing trouble for the Emei Sect alongside a group of evil demons and demon humans at Ci Yun Temple.

Later, when the Emei Sect opened the mansion, Master Xiao Yue was captured by the combined efforts of Zen Master Tian Meng and Master Fen Tuo, and taken back to Emei Mountain. The Golden Saber flew out to sever the head, but Master Xiao Yue released the Broken Jade Hook to counter it; surprisingly, he couldn't resist. If it weren't for Qi Shuming and others kneeling collectively to pray to Master Chang Mei in heaven, pleading for forgiveness for old times' sake, the Golden Saber would have beheaded Master Xiao Yue!

This saber is also a Heavenly Treasure, wielded by gods from the Upper Realm as a weapon of slaughter and refined by Master Chang Mei using Taiqing Immortal Technique, infused with his own will, specifically to kill traitors from the Emei Sect.

Since the third swordfight on Jiuhua Mountain, Qi Shuming passed the position of sect leader to Li Yingqiong, and he himself went into seclusion with Xuan Zhenzi and others for cultivation.

During the swordfight, he lost his physical body and was unwilling to reincarnate again, so he continued cultivating with the form of a Yang God. Over the years, his mana has improved greatly.

After becoming a Yang God, one can gather to form shapes, scatter into Qi, and upon ascension, leave behind an empty shell shed; the physical body was not very significant anymore, not hindering ascension or cultivation. However, ascending now, his rank would be far less than before.

The Three Immortals and Two Elders, along with Xun Lanyin, have been in seclusion for years, while cultivating and deducing the future, knowing that Blood God Son Deng Yin would be reborn again, bringing catastrophe to the human world, and Emei Sect would face an unparalleled disaster.

After praying to Master Chang Mei, they summoned the Jade Box Gold Saber, and the six of them used the Liangyi Dust Formation to refine and upgrade it again.

Now, they want to use this saber to deal with Deng Yin.

Qi Shuming took out the Jade Box and briefly explained the origin of the Golden Saber to Shi Zhu: "Now that the Blood God Son is outside, he also knows of the Golden Saber's existence, but with his pride, he will surely think that the Golden Saber won't hurt him. Besides, Emei Mountain is protected by the Liangyi Six Harmonies Microdust Formation, isolating the space inside and outside. He doesn't know the reality, but this saber is only effective the first time; if he has a defense next time, it probably won't cut him."

Shi Zhu was somewhat familiar with the Golden Saber, as Shi Feiyang had told him about it earlier.

He looked around and listened outwardly, only to sense the tranquil ancient cave of the quiet mountain. With his divine power, he couldn't hear a single sound outside. The Liangyi Dust Formation was indeed miraculous, completely isolating the inside from the outside: "Are you planning to rely on the Immortal Array here to contend with the Blood God Son? If he enters, there is indeed a possibility to trap him in the formation and refine him to destruction."

Qi Shuming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work."

He spoke as he waved his hand, and a light bubble appeared out of thin air in front of him, growing larger, inside as if a small world, precisely the scene outside.

It turned out that Deng Yin and his four companions, together with old man Shi Pi, chased to the outside of Emei Mountain. They all knew the power of the Liangyi Dust Formation, especially last time when Deng Yin and his group breached it, though causing heavy damage to the Emei Sect, they also suffered significant losses, nearly losing all their elite disciples, and Deng Yin himself had a Purple and Blue Duoluo Fire embedded in his body by Qi Shuming, taking great effort to dissolve it upon returning.

Although Deng Yin was familiar with the Liangyi Dust Formation, he was unwilling to attack it hard again.

He turned in mid-air and saw a small village below the mountain, pointing with his hand to spawn a demon cloud covering the village. Then, within the demon cloud, numerous dense blood threads emerged, weaving into a net, simultaneously binding all the people in the village, tying them on the demon net.

With a wave of Deng Yin's hand, the demon net ascended, encompassing all two hundred and sixteen people in the village, from the old lady lying weakly on a bed to the infant in swaddling clothes, men and women, old and young, all caught in the net.

The demon net expanded before the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and the two hundred people were like insects caught on a spider's web, splayed in different directions, hands and feet stretched in the net, unable to struggle at all.

Deng Yin transmitted a message to inside Emei Mountain: "Disciples of Ren Shou, listen! Aren't you self-proclaimed as the Mysterious Sect orthodox? Aren't you considering yourselves righteous sects of the Immortal Sect? Now, I, the Great Demon, want to kill them all. You can come out to die for them instead. If I kill you, I won't kill them for three years. If you don't come out, I'll first kill them all, then capture and kill everyone from village to town to city around Emei Mountain in succession, offering them here as a sacrifice, creating a sea of blood. Then bleed it into the Taiyuan Five Mansions, you won't escape either!"

His actions and words were clearly seen by Shi Zhu and Qi Shuming and others within the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion.

Li Yingqiong, beside them, was furious upon seeing this: "How can Deng Yin call himself a master? After a thousand years of cultivation, yet so vile!"

Shi Zhu said: "He wants to kill all living beings in the world, sacrificing everyone, demonizing the world, and transforming this world into a Demon Domain."

A disciple was trembling with fear against Deng Yin: "Since he intends to kill everyone anyways, whether we go out or not actually doesn't matter."

Qi Shuming closed his eyes and slowly shook his head: "Not possible, they only have four people now. If we heavenly immortals or above charge out together, we still have the power to fight. Best to lure him into the Liangyi Dust Formation and try using this Golden Saber to kill him. Since we must face him in a deadly battle sooner or later, now is the best time!"

Li Yingqiong was the first to respond: "Alright! We'll kill our way out and fight till death with that demon!"

Since starting her cultivation journey, this goddess of war encountered numerous setbacks, yet her determination to hate evil and vow to completely eliminate all evil demons never waned a bit.
