The Ancestor of All Demons

Mahayana Venerable Sikong Zhan captured the Red Flower Princess and brought her before the Princess of Stone God to report back.

The Princess of Stone God had come down the mountain this time specifically to capture the Red Flower Princess, taking advantage of Deng Yin's preoccupation at a crucial moment.

She dared not delay any further because Deng Yin could arrive at any moment. Now that the person was captured, she needed to relocate immediately.

As for the Red Flower Princess, captured by Sikong Zhan with two hooks binding her Primordial Spirit, she was unable to transform or fly, feeling utterly hopeless.

She knew that if she were to be captured by the Princess of Stone God, her fate would be extremely miserable.

If she had the upper hand and captured the Princess of Stone God, she would ensure that the Stone God Princess suffered greatly.

In the two volumes of the "Blood God Scripture" of good and evil, because good and evil are irreconcilable, they furiously clash when encountered, and even devour each other.

Unless the cultivator possesses enough wisdom and mana to harmonize them, they can ultimately achieve dual cultivation of good and evil like the Stone God Palace Master without favoritism.

The best outcome for the Red Flower Princess would be to run directly into Deng Yin instead of being seized by the Princess of Stone God.

In her moment of despair, the only thought remaining was to seek her father's help.

However, the Iron City Mountain Demon remained as unresponsive as ever, as if he didn't exist in this world at all.

In reality, she didn't realize that to contact her father, and even to have the old demon descend the mountain, the correct approach would be for her to gain an advantage and take the Princess of Stone God, using evil to swallow good and open a portal between two realms.

While she was calling for the heavens and receiving no response, the voice of Shi Feiyang sounded in her mind: "Fellow Daoist Red Flower, I'm the only one who can save you now. Would you like to come to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain with me? Or do you prefer to go back to West Kunlun with her? You must make a choice quickly, for once Sikong Zhan hands you over to the Princess of Stone God, even I won't be able to save you."

Previously, in the flower room, upon hearing Shi Feiyang's voice, she felt extreme terror and disgust, but now it sounded like heavenly music, prompting her to plea for rescue: "King Dragon, please save me! As long as I am not captured by that wretched person, I will surely repay you generously and never break my promise!"

Shi Feiyang laughed softly, "Alright, alright..."

Even if the Red Flower Princess hadn't begged him for help, he couldn't allow her to be taken by the Princess of Stone God. That would render both the Princess of Stone God and Deng Yin truly undying and undying, potentially allowing them to create the Blood Demon World. However, with the Red Flower Princess actively cooperating, it would make things easier for him.

Shi Feiyang's current strength can already compare to that of a Golden Immortal, only lacking a little fire control. In reality, he had already completed all his cultivations, and with a few more years of nurturing, he could secure his Golden Immortal position.

But even so, he couldn't possibly be in the Outer Heaven, snatching people from under the hands of the Red Flower Princess and the Red Lotus Demon with just a thought.

Earlier, while the Red Flower Princess was maneuvering against others, he had already contacted Master Fen Tuo, urging him to arrive quickly. All he needed to do was delay for a bit, and the old nun would be able to strike, seizing the opportunity to rescue the Red Flower Princess.

However, that was under the premise that the Red Flower Princess was unwilling to cooperate, requiring the old nun's help.

Now, the Red Flower Princess was willing to cooperate, so it wasn't needed anymore.

Shi Feiyang told the Red Flower Princess, "Your Primordial Spirit is currently sealed, and your soul is completely hooked by two Demon Hooks. Escaping is as difficult as ascending to heaven. I am also far away in the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain and cannot rescue you directly. If you want to escape, you'll have to make a little sacrifice."

Their conversation occurred through mental telepathy, able to transmit vast amounts of information in an instant. Although the dialogues sounded complicated, both parties understood everything in a mere thought.

The Red Flower Princess was willing to do anything as long as she didn't fall into the hands of the Princess of Stone God.

Shi Feiyang opened the "Demon God Scripture" in the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, began casting a spell, and instantly transmitted vast amounts of information to the Red Flower Princess, making a "Western Paradise" appear in her mind—a world incredibly beautiful, with golden radiance filling the sky, golden bricks paving the ground, fragrant liquid flowing, serene and harmonious.

Most importantly, Shi Feiyang transmitted a strong sense of security to her.

"Come, to my world!" Shi Feiyang called out to her, "Only if you vow to be reborn into my world can I find a way to save you and bring you over."

Even though their information exchange was rapid, Sikong Zhan had already reported back under the blood lotus of the Princess of Stone God, following her instructions to deliver the Red Flower Princess to a Blood River.

The Red Flower Princess knew this was her last hope for escape. Although she knew Shi Feiyang's side might also be a trap, it surely wouldn't be worse than the pitfall of the Princess of Stone God, so she struggled to vow to be reborn into Shi Feiyang's world...

Humans have countless thoughts, unceasing as long as they live. Ordinary people are consumed by chaotic thoughts, a tangled mess, while their mind monkey leaps up and down, ever-changing.

Practitioners can tame the heart monkey and rein in the intent horse, thoughts continuing without interruption, no longer chaotic—this is called pure mind and clear thought.

The objective of reciting Buddha's name in the Pure Land Sect is to turn all chaotic delusional thoughts into one single Buddha thought. Reciting for a lifetime, the ultimate pursuit is that "one thought." However, this seemingly simple goal takes lifetimes for many to achieve, forever trapped in a whirlwind of delusional thoughts.

For someone like the Red Flower Princess, who has practiced for over a thousand years, she has long reached this realm, making a vow for rebirth in a single thought, causing a great resonance with Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang was conducting spells at the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, holding the Heavenly Treasure Mirror and shining it on the Demon God Scripture. The Circulation Light Disc floated within the mirror light, its pointer spinning rapidly before suddenly emitting a beam that shot into the book.

Instantly, this beam emerged on the Red Flower Princess in the Forbidden City.

Sikong Zhan's Lie Que's Double Hooks hooked onto the Primordial Spirit of the Red Flower Princess from outside, while Shi Feiyang's Circulation Light Disc absorbed it from inside, creating a pull that Lie Que's Double Hooks could not compete against.

Sikong Zhan initially didn't understand what was happening and felt the hooks were acting unusually, thinking it was the Princess of Stone God casting a spell, so he didn't immediately resist. Instead, he actively tried to push the Red Flower Princess toward the Blood River.

Once he realized, he roared loudly, "Who dares to play tricks before me!"

Yet, given his Dao level and power, he couldn't perceive where the enemy was, nor did he know what methods the enemy used.

He looked around, deploying divine skills, attempting to find the enemy thousands of miles away.

Golden light burst forth from the Red Flower Princess, scattering golden radiance, a dazzling spectacle.

The Princess of Stone God was dueling with the Emei Sect, instantly recognizing the glow from the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, and exclaimed, "Not good! That Evil Dragon is secretly casting spells, we mustn't let them take her away!"

She pointed her finger, causing the Blood River to roll backward, trying to sweep the Red Flower Princess into it. Once in the river, each segment held a hell, and anyone captured within would never escape.

Meanwhile, she sacrificed a glittering golden stone.

The Vajra Spirit Stone, the most powerful treasure among the twenty-three Western treasures used by Absolute Venerable years ago, left by the Saintess in the Illusion Wave Pool to suppress the earth veins, was later retrieved by Li Yingqiong. She used it to subdue Jiu Panpo's Blood River during the last major battle at Jiuhai Mountain, but the Princess of Stone God, with clever tactics, took the spirit stone.

Now, the Absolute Venerable's treasure brought from the Western Paradise had been sacrificially refined by the Princess of Stone God.

Due to the Demon Cult's involvement with Heavenly Demon sensing and divine demon curses, she couldn't reveal her true name or surname, known simply as Stone God along with her father. Her father had a stone, which he used to found Stone God Palace, ascending to the Demon Realm, taking the stone with him.

Now, she calculates that her future fate and the chance of achieving the Dao lie within this Vajra Spirit Stone, and having obtained it, she spent considerable effort refining it.

Who is the Absolute Venerable but a divine monk who dedicated himself to demon-suppression? The treasures he used are the pinnacle of Buddhist power; ordinary demons dare not approach. The Buddha Light emitted from the spirit stone causes immediate suffering, and prolonged exposure or proximity leads to soul scattering, reduction to ashes.

The Princess of Stone God initially couldn't refine this supreme Buddhist treasure but was exceptionally intelligent and calculated the slender opportunity before the seizing of the stone.

Though the Absolute Venerable is an unparalleled monk, his demon-suppressing power was even stronger than Tian Meng, Zun Sheng, Bai Mei.

But his mind isn't perfect and flawless, as his thoughts harbored demon-suppressing intent, whether internal or external, they were essentially demon thoughts!

For the nature of true self, the original Buddha's wish, is not outside the body, not inside the body, not in the six roots, nor the six dusts, not in the eighteen realms, neither in existence nor non-existence...

The Absolute Venerable vowed to kill all demons, but that was inherently a demon heart, demon wish.

The Princess of Stone God used this flaw to invade the Buddha Light, seated atop the Vajra Spirit Stone!

Later, she discovered many demon-suppressing evil thoughts left by the Absolute Venerable during his cultivation on the stone, containing a plethora of demon suppression techniques. She integrated these demon suppression methods into her Blood Demon Great Method, achieving a qualitative breakthrough in realm, divine skills, and power, transforming the stone into her lifebound magical treasure.

At this moment, she raised the spirit stone to strike the treasure mirror of the Heavenly Mirror.

Where the spirit stone reached, golden radiance shattered, light rain scattered into a sky full of fine needles.

Seeing the spirit stone about to pin down the Red Flower Princess's Primordial Spirit at her forehead, suddenly a soft chuckle from Shi Feiyang echoed in the air, and the golden light contracted.

With a "whoosh," the Red Flower Princess vanished out of sight.

In the next instant, she appeared within the Demon God Scripture before Shi Feiyang at the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain.

The Princess of Stone God was both anxious and angry, knowing Shi Feiyang intended to use the Red Flower Princess against herself; if she could devour the Red Flower Princess, then Shi Feiyang could naturally use her to consume the Princess of Stone God!

She cast successive spells, trying to capture the aura of the Red Flower Princess in space and time, yet at that moment she had already reached the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, leaving her no trace to search.

From when Sikong Zhan hooked the Red Flower Princess to this moment when Shi Feiyang rescued her, less than three seconds had passed. The Princess of Stone God grumbled at her failure, filled with rage, wishing she could immediately unleash a massacre!
