The Ancestor of All Demons

Besides humans and demons, Shi Feiyang also had demonic figures around him, and there were quite a few in his hands.

These demonic figures harbored potential resentment towards him. If Deng Yin and others interfered from afar, causing them to suddenly betray him, while unlikely, it's not entirely impossible.

However, he did not immediately check these demonic figures, as any changes in them could occur in the mind without any prior signs, making it challenging to detect.

He went into seclusion again, meticulously studying the Yuanyun Ball, sending it along with the Chaos Dragon Ball into the Qiankun Furnace, using the Circulation Fire for sacrificial refinement, taking months from the year, days from the month, hours from the day, and with the effort of a hundred days, seizing the creation of heaven and earth, employing the Circulation of Civil and Martial Fire Control to merge the two.

After the Dragon Ball merged into the Yuanyun Ball, its exterior showed no changes, yet it displayed signs of evolving into a world.

Shi Feiyang had an epiphany: if it truly succeeded in opening up a world, it could last at least one Yuanyun cycle, equivalent to 129,600 years.

From the very beginning of the world's opening, all changes in the mountains and rivers, human relationships, falling sands and leaves over these twelve thousand years and more would be clear in his mind!

Unless variables from other worlds interfered, which could still be adjusted, re-evolving subsequent events.

After succeeding, he would use this Dragon Ball to probe the past and future of the demonic figures he possessed.

Over the years, he had refined numerous demonic figures, placing them all in the Red Lotus Hell upon opening it, including the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon.

He deeply suspected that the one most likely to rebel against him was also this Nine Child Mother Sky Demon.

The Mother Demon was originally a Myriad Cold Centipede, a lascivious and vicious millennium Great Demon, and the nine child demons could have been born if not for his intervention.

For instance, Qian Lai should have been born into Qian Kang's family, becoming the young master of Everday City, later apprenticed at Emei Sect's Golden Cicada, future cultivation of Mysterious Sect's orthodoxy, and ascending to the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm would be within reach.

Since Shi Feiyang killed Qian Kang and his wife, Qian Lai couldn't be born, so he reincarnated into the Mother Demon, losing his path to becoming a Heavenly Immortal, entangled by karma, with a high possibility of seeking revenge.

Besides him, the other eight came to seek debts.

The Mother Demon had heavy Demon Nature, being born from the Myriad Cold Centipede mating with the Heavenly Demon. Shi Feiyang strictly guarded against them, suppressing them with absolute power. If released, allowing them to wreak havoc, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Shi Feiyang focused the Dragon Ball on probing their past and future lives.

Yet it was not them!

Both the Mother Demon and the child demons, having been by Shi Feiyang's side for so many years, were often nourished by his Pure Yang Immortal Qi and frequently received teachings from the Mysterious Sect's Righteous Path, leading to changes in their bodies and minds.

During this Tribulation, they were also amidst it; Shi Feiyang let them hold the Nine Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords to undergo the Tribulation together, facing the baptism of Heavenly Thunder, Fire, and Wind, influenced by various demons, provoked to rebellion, hatred towards Shi Feiyang, with promises of becoming Demon Realm's Crown Prince upon ascension to the Demon Realm, even with Heavenly Demons claiming to be their father, wanting to take them back to become the Crown Prince of the Demon Realm...

Lin Han also, at several critical moments, entered their illusions, using the Mysterious Sect's Righteous Path's Immortal Laws to help them escape the Demon Realm.

The nine little demons were always a bit harsh-tongued but soft-hearted, often threatening Shi Feiyang but never expressing the desire to harm others, raised as vegetarians, instilled with a "compassionate heart."

Mengzi said: "All men have a compassionate heart.... Without a heart of sympathy, one is not human; without a sense of shame and aversion, one is not human... The possession of these four is like having four limbs.... if they could be fully developed, they would suffice to care for the world; if not, one couldn't even serve one's parents."

The nine little ones have always been filial; whenever mischievous, getting spanked by Shi Feiyang, they endured. When Shi Feiyang punished the Mother Demon, they quickly came to kneel, admitting fault, and pleading for forgiveness.

Essentially, they possessed some talent, and Shi Feiyang's education was good, so they didn't develop wrongly. After enduring this Heavenly and Demon Tribulation, not only did their temperament and mana advance significantly, but there appeared to be a hint of Immortal Energy on them.

The Dragon Ball indicated their future, suggesting they could rid themselves of Demonic Qi, becoming Earth Immortals, and eventually ascend to Pure Yang Heavenly Immortals.

Meanwhile, the Mother Demon, Cold Centipede, had been listening to One Light Master preach in the Underworld over the years, starting to repent for evil deeds done at the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain; her future achievements would not rival her nine children, but through the bond of mother and child, the nine sons would strive to help her ascend, even if it meant enduring Tribulation themselves!

If not them, then who could it be?

Within Red Lotus Hell, the demonic figures included One Light Master, Poison Dragon Venerable, Five Lascivious Venerable, Zhong Gan, Zhong Liang, Varnagyin II, Kayinsabu...

Shi Feiyang meticulously investigated every single demonic figure, over two hundred thousand in the Underworld; none would betray him or even have the capability to do so.

Who could it be...?

Shi Feiyang pondered again and again, convinced the opposing party occupied a significant position within his karmic line, thus using the Dragon Ball to trace back from when he traversed into the being of a Black Dragon at Dinghu Peak.

In the past, he also tried to predict himself; however, since he was the greatest variable, the calculation cost immense effort and was not accurate.

Now with the Chaos Yuanyun Dragon Ball, looking at my past is quite easy; with a shift of the mind, I capture the caution of a hundred years, but calculating the future is still very laborious, especially when it involves calamities, which remain unclear.

This time, he watched carefully, day by day: this is the first day I crossed over; I am a Black Dragon, coiled on the Crouching Dragon Stone. This is the second day... This is the third day...

As the days went by, the scenes inside the Dragon Ball changed; first, Sikong Xuan and Sikong Hu, uncle and nephew, appeared, followed by Mo Zhui and Red Snake.

Soon, it was the night he shed his skin, and Wei Fengniang and Brooyinca came knocking.

Wei Fengniang!

Shi Feiyang suddenly remembered, Wei Fengniang was also turned into a demon by him and was later sent to Jifandu to help control the West Pole Sect in Central Earth.

Later, as the Great Ming National Master, he swept through all the evil sects. The West Pole Sect in Central Earth was destroyed, and both Wei Fengniang and Jifandu were captured by Jiang Shu, and Shi Feiyang placed them into the "Demon God Scripture".

Back then, Shi Feiyang had sought someone to refine demons and chose E Shengfan, making Jifandu and others vow to rebirth, eventually entering the world within the Demon Scripture.

Shi Feiyang later acquired the Xuanyuan Two Treasures and stopped practicing magic, so the "Demon God Scripture" had been sealed and never opened since.

He took out the "Demon God Scripture" and was about to open it, but hesitated, placing the scripture on the Jade Table, sitting at a distance of about ten feet, and using the Dragon Ball to view the situation inside the scripture.

In this Demon Scripture, just like the Heavenly Secret Demon God Lamp, there was a world within the scripture. E Shengfan sat majestically like golden casting, seated high above like a Buddha, with Wei Fengniang and Jifandu as left and right protectors.

Besides them, many people sat below.

Among them were some believers of the West Pole Sect in Central Earth, who were followers developed by Jifandu and Wei Fengniang, all vowing that after death, they would be reborn into the world inside this scripture.

Additionally, there were some who came from Earth. Back then, Shi Feiyang had brought over primordial spirits from the Earth world, creating bodies for them, building his power on one hand, and on the other, seeking to understand the mysteries of shuttling between the two worlds to see the Dao and understand the existence of the heavenly worlds...

Later, upon acquiring the Xuanyuan Two Treasures, he turned to the Heavenly Mirror for insight into the Dao and the world, no longer engaging in this practice.

However, those who had come to this world back then had changes in their primordial spirits and had mastered the spells of this world.

Even though Earth was in the Dharma Decline Era, spiritual energy had not completely depleted, allowing for the use of some minor spells.

The spells from the Shushan World, casually taken to the other side, would be at a "Heavenly Master" level, prompting these individuals to quickly establish their own sects, developing many disciples and striving to return to the Shushan World.

Due to the Demon Scripture's influence, some, in a meditative state, had their primordial spirits reach the Shushan World, directly entering the book. Others, encountering misfortune, reaching the end of their lifespan, and died, would also be reborn in the book.

This group of people was quite numerous, especially with Gongye Huang having been there and with Deng Yin once developing a demon cult force there, all believing in such a Shushan World, vowing to go there, whether alive or post-death...

Those who came over in meditative states, upon seeing E Shengfan, learned many spells from him, reinforcing their faith.

Shi Feiyang's Dragon Ball revealed the book world, illuminating the heads of each person, from the old to the young, including young students in school uniforms, all sitting cross-legged, expressions solemn, filled with joy at the teachings by E Shengfan on the golden law seat.

The Dragon Ball swept past, and none of these people had the slightest awareness, with the preaching continuing, and the listening uninterrupted.

Something's off!

If others couldn't sense my observation, that's one thing, but E Shengfan shouldn't be unaware.

Shi Feiyang specifically aimed the Dragon Ball at E Shengfan, beginning to cast a spell to see what he would do in the future.

Finally, E Shengfan reacted, looking up at Shi Feiyang, seeming like he wanted to speak, but sensing Shi Feiyang's intention to look into his future movements, the demon also changed his expression, from originally solemn to eerily terrifying. Raising a hand, he unleashed a golden light giant hand into the air.

The giant hand contained demonic qi, essentially a demon claw, yet clad in golden light, fused skillfully with the orthodox Buddhist Demon-suppressing Vajra Divine Palm.

These two should have been extremely repulsive to each other, yet at this moment, they were cleverly merged, slapping directly at Shi Feiyang from within the scene of the Dragon Ball!

"Well, isn't this something!"

Shi Feiyang formed a mudra with both hands, flipping them over, sending the Dragon Ball spinning into the air, its internal light and shadow disappearing, turning into a swirl of chaos.

Then the "Demon God Scripture" suddenly flapped open quickly, gold light surged, revealing golden radiance and auspicious cloud. Upon this cloud appeared a most splendid law seat, with E Shengfan sitting at the peak, Wei Fengniang on the left, Jifandu on the right, with disciples and descendants lined up left and right, thousands upon thousands, all looking at Shi Feiyang in unison.
