The Ancestor of All Demons

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader used the Zhunti Golden Bowl to collect the miles of yellow sand emitted by the Yellow Lotus. This is truly a wonderful treasure, spraying forth large swathes of Buddha Light. Wherever the light shines, the yellow sand ceases and reverts into strands of Earth Element Yuan Qi. The towering green vines from the east were similarly transformed, dispersing into streams of green energy.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang ceased his spellcasting and unleashed tens of thousands of Purple and Blue Sword Qi, which were again collected by the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader using the golden bowl.

He then sent out the magical treasure Suiren's Drill, transforming into a rainbow-hued lightning bolt, crashing towards the Black Lotus. Yet, it too was encased by the golden bowl with a clang and was absorbed inside.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader let out a sinister and wicked laugh, shaking his body to release an avatar.

This avatar appeared directly atop the Southern Red Lotus. Since water can conquer fire, accompanied by a refreshing black mist, the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader appeared above the Red Lotus, waving his hands to unleash a large wave of Evil Spirit. The avatar of Shi Feiyang on the Red Lotus hurriedly emitted Purple and Blue Sword Qi to battle against it.

The Red Lotus had just recently fallen into Shi Feiyang's hands. Although the avatar was severed long ago, it was not birthed within the Red Lotus, making its mana and compatibility not sufficient, and soon it was at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, the old man Shi Pi was still on the Red Lotus. Seeing this, he hastily waved his White Jade Dust Brush, unleashing a swath of Fiery Fire Gold Saber to attack, "Benefactor, I come to aid you!"

Though the old man Shi Pi was severely weakened, he was after all the Asura Sect Leader who had long attained an Undying Body. With the White Jade Dust Brush, Five Mountains Divine Peaks, and Demon-Slaying Golden Saber still in hand, his strength was formidable. With his assistance, Shi Feiyang's avatar on the Red Lotus quickly stabilized its position.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, unable to break through after a fierce attack, snorted coldly and divided his Primordial Spirit once more, producing a watery avatar atop the Western White Lotus.

The White Lotus was acquired by Shi Feiyang long ago. This avatar was formed by severing part of his Primordial Spirit, cultivated on this Lotus Platform, and its Divine Energy had already merged with the White Lotus, making it much stronger than the avatar on the Red Lotus, able to contend evenly with the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader split once more, now using metal to suppress wood, appearing on the Eastern Green Lotus.

The Green Lotus was the first he obtained, and the avatar on it had similar strength to the one on the White Lotus.

Finally, the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's avatar appeared on the central Yellow Lotus. Upon the Yellow Lotus Platform was Shi Feiyang's true self, possessing the highest strength along with a host of magical treasures. The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's avatar was soon enclosed by Shi Feiyang using the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, and then pinned with rays from the Yu Guang Disc, directly shattering it.

Enraged and astonished, the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader now faced evenly matches on the Eastern Green Lotus, Southern Red Lotus, and Western White Lotus.

Only the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader occupied the Northern Black Lotus, while Shi Feiyang held the central Yellow Lotus, both sides locked in a stalemate.

He knew that outside, the fierce battle involving Xin Ru Nun was intensifying, but it could not last indefinitely, with victory and defeat looming soon. Delay was unacceptable, given the location within Xin Ru Nun's array formation.

Thus, he roared, leaving an avatar on the Black Lotus, as his true form emerged from the Yellow Lotus, surrounded by the Mystic Yin Demon Banner, and leading thousands of demons, to attack Shi Feiyang.

Seeing his true form arriving at the Yellow Lotus Platform, Shi Feiyang promptly manifested an avatar on the Black Lotus.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, cunning as always, expected Shi Feiyang's avatar to come to the Black Lotus once his true form left, so he left another avatar there as well.

He wished to match true form against true form, and avatar against avatar, swiftly eliminating Shi Feiyang.

In his calculations, though Shi Feiyang's Dao level was nearly at Golden Immortal, he was still bound to the earth, unable to ascend to the Spiritual Space, nourished by Nine Heavens Spiritual Energy. Ultimately, he was just an Earth Immortal, unlike a true Golden Immortal in the heavens. Meanwhile, he had over two thousand years of cultivation, having endured numerous Heavenly Tribulations and Heavenly Punishments, and infused with spirit and blood from Haha Patriarch, Xuanyuan Dharma King, and Demon Corpse Gu Chen, his mana certainly exceeded Shi Feiyang's. By any reckoning, the advantage was his. Though Shi Feiyang possessed several formidable magical treasures, he had prepared for them before coming today!

His meticulous plan was well-calculated, to split into five and tightly confront Shi Feiyang, determining victory across the five lotus platforms.

Yet Shi Feiyang laughed aloud, "Old monster, you've fallen into my trap!"

He extended his arms, three beams of light emerged from his body, being the three lights of the sun, moon, and stars. These three lights were like water, with sunlight at the center, moonlight on the second layer, and outside was the splendid Milky Way, rapidly expanding.

Illuminated by these three lights, the Five Elements Lotus Platforms responded simultaneously, raising tendrils, blooming in a thousand hues, with each lotus pod spurting twelve strands of various energies, injected upwards into these three lights.

"Three Lights Divine Water!" The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, knowledgeable as ever, immediately recognized the item used by Shi Feiyang.

"That's right, it's indeed the Three Lights Divine Water!"

Previously, Shi Feiyang released the True Water, along with various Five Elements Essence, Magnetic True Qi, etc., visibly, while secretly blending the Three Lights Divine Water.

Years ago, Li Jingxu left a will regarding the Three Lights Divine Water, advising Shi Feiyang to acquire this treasure, as it was one of the few capable of restraining the Purple and Blue Divine Flames. Shi Feiyang had fused this flame with his own spirit, refining it into the Top Three Flowers. If others obtained it and broke his Purple and Blue Duoluo Fire, even he would suffer a severe spiritual injury.

If these two items can be obtained, combined with the Purple and Blue Divine Flames, once refined together, they can illuminate the Primordial Spirit and temper the body, greatly benefiting his cultivation.

Shi Feiyang had already refined this treasure, leveraging the power of the Heavenly Tribulation to harmonize water and fire, achieving the hexagram of balance, extracting Kan and filling Li, returning to the Qian Heaven and Kun Earth body, thus directly transcending to the Golden Immortal realm.

This item originally emitted sunlight, moonlight, and starlight, dazzlingly brilliant, but after being refined with the Purple and Blue Divine Flames, it could return from acquired to innate, able to hide or reveal itself.

The fire hexagram is empty inside Li, the water hexagram is full inside Kan, extracting the Yang line from the Kan hexagram and exchanging it with the Yin line in the Li hexagram is known as extracting Kan and filling Li, transforming them into the Qian Heaven and Kun Earth hexagrams.

The water and fire hexagrams are acquired, the Qian Heaven and Kun Earth hexagrams are innate, acquired is for use, with endless transformations, innate is the foundation, difficult to capture or see.

Thus, Shi Feiyang dispersed the Three Lights Divine Water between the True Water and the Five Elements Essence Qi. At that time, the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader was only thinking of how tricky it was to deal with him, wary of being outmaneuvered, while contemplating how to defeat him and snatch the Five Elements Lotus Platform, also guarding against Xin Ru Nun outside, and even pondering on achieving the Immortal and Undying body once acquiring the Five Elements Lotus Platform... In such a complicated mindset, he failed to guard.

The Three Lights Divine Water is the true liquid formed from the essence of the sun, moon, and stars in the heavens, something all living beings fervently yearn for; upon obtaining it, spiritual beings can evolve.

Especially since the Five Elements Lotus Platform originated from the heavens, its spiritual roots formed in the Turquoise Pool, are more harmonious with this Divine Water.

Precisely because of this, they were able to grow from a Nine-Grade Lotus Platform to a Twelve-Grade one; otherwise, relying solely on the True Water Essence Qi would still fall short, achieving only a qualitative change, not a quantitative one.

The Lotus Platform evolved nourished by the Three Lights Divine Water, which, like the Purple and Blue Divine Flames, was long connected to Shi Feiyang's divine energy, and control had effectively transferred to Shi Feiyang's hands.

Shi Feiyang waited until now because the Black Lotus was always in the hands of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, his true self remaining on the Black Lotus; forcibly seizing it would have alerted him prematurely. In the midst of contention, should the old monster's nature flare up, he might damage it, so he appeared weak, patiently luring him onto the Yellow Lotus before taking action.

As the Three Lights emerged, the five lotuses resonated, each turning into a colorful light energy, rising with Shi Feiyang's avatar into the resplendent and colorful Milky Way, disappearing without a trace.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader hurriedly formed a seal to summon the Black Lotus, only to find the connection completely severed, and was shocked.

The Black Lotus, after all, was an inheritance of the Mystics Yin Sect for thousands of years, refined over generations, yet it was taken just like that!

He was like a giant beast completely enraged, shaking his body in madness, birthing at least a hundred thousand black arms from the darkness, some human, some with eagle claws, and some with sucker-like octopus tentacles, all reaching out toward Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang crossed his hands, rapidly changing his spell, employing the Pre-Postnatal Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Thunder Net, instantly interweaving tens of thousands of colorful True Qi, forming a net, each mesh condensing into gigantic Thunder Pearls, expanding outward, ensuing in a world-shattering explosion.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader's monstrous appendages were instantly blown to pieces, the Thunder Pearls grinding against one another, following the Five Elements cycle, endlessly erupting, louder with each explosion, forming vast thunderclouds.

Shi Feiyang propelled these thunderclouds toward the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader, simultaneously reforming seals with both hands, ten suns appearing in rotation, aggressively unleashing those Purple and Blue Divine Flames.

The Heavenly Lust Sect Leader roared, invoking boundless Mystics Yin Evil Spirits, unleashing limitless Mystics Yin Divine Thunder and Soundless Divine Thunder within, driving tens of thousands of Mystics Yin Gods and Demons forward, determined for a battle to the death with Shi Feiyang.

The two clashed with tremendous mana, causing the heavens and earth to crumble...

They actually shattered the "heaven."

This was the Yunmo Space within the Fetal Burial Demon Formation, originally designed for the Heavenly Lust Sect to turn him into a Demon Embryo's world.

The force of their mana was too strong, the explosion's power distorting space to such a degree, directly blasting apart this small world!

Outside lay the Great Ru Pure Land, filled with golden Buddha Light, the floor paved with golden bricks, with Perfume Merit Pools everywhere, blooming with various colored lotus flowers.

On the ground was white sandy soil, grown with Bodhi Trees, adorned with Seven Treasures like glazed tiles, coral, agate, along with vast quantities of golden railings, and various pearl and shell chains forming nets, all formed of Seven Treasures...

This was the final look of the Buddha Country Pure Land created by Xin Ru Nun, where everyone absorbed into the Fetal Burial Demon Formation was encapsulated in a fetal membrane, forming a fetus, and born here.

When lotus flowers bloomed in the pools, they would be born among them, becoming infants, sequentially becoming male or female based on their past life's obsessions, growing rapidly according to Daoist power.

Some quickly became youths, while others remained infants; the youth could roam freely, but infants had to stay on the lotus waiting to grow.

This Pure Land was still in a "trial operation" state, and Xin Ru originally planned to wipe out Shi Feiyang, gather ten Shariputras, fully activate the Seven Treasures Golden Banner's power, and with this power, fuse this Pure Land with the outside Jiuhua Mountain Territory, transforming an expanse within a thousand-mile radius into a Buddha Country Pure Land, where a million believers would experience this "Lotus Manifestation" and become citizens.
