The Ancestor of All Demons

Shi Feiyang cast a spell to slowly detach the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain from the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm, beginning its descent, aimed at returning to the Shushan World's earth.

The Chaos Heaven and Star Constellation Heaven above the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain had entered the range of the Ling Kong World, now slowly departing.

Standing on the divine mountain, looking up at the sky, the dazzling Heaven became smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared completely, leaving the outside as the endless dark cosmic void.

The Outer Heaven Divine Mountain traversed the vast expanse of space again, heading towards the earth. At first, nothing was felt, but as it got closer, the speed slowed down.

The divine mountain had become of pure spirit nature, repelling the dull energy that formed the earth below.

The original divine mountain was of dull nature, ascending to the Immortal Realm was like dull entering clear, generating a strong reaction; once completed, the mountain turned to pure nature, returning to the surface as clear entering dull, generating strong reactions once more.

Many of them had already become true Heavenly Immortals. Returning to the mortal realm for too long could trigger natural catastrophes...

Understanding this, the immortals grew anxious, seeking Shi Feiyang: "We are already Heavenly Immortals, staying in the mortal realm would bring about even greater tribulations than during ascension..."

Some thought, since they were Heavenly Immortals now, could they ascend directly? But worried that after the battle with the Heavenly Court, they were already marked, and Heavenly mercy not pursuing was the limit, could they permit another ascension?

Thus, everyone was filled with unease and trepidation.

Shi Feiyang, descending from the Chaos Heaven, reached the Lingjiao Immortal Mansion at the peak of Tianpeng Mountain, gathering all Heavenly and Earth Immortals to impart these teachings:

"In ancient times, when Pangu split the heavens and earth, pure energy ascended as Heaven, corresponding to the Qian Trigram; dull energy descended as Earth, corresponding to the Kun Trigram. Qiantian was Pure Yang, and Kundian was Pure Yin. Heaven retrieves from Kun to Earth, its Yang bears Yin upward. Earth retrieves from Qian to Heaven, its Yin embraces Yang in descent. The retrieval leads to transformations, Earth Mother Kun Trigram births eldest son Zhen, middle son Kan, youngest son Gen; Heaven Father Qian Trigram births eldest daughter Xun, middle daughter Li, youngest daughter Dui. Although sun, moon, and myriad creations evolve."

First, he explained the principles, then his method of "alchemy" this time:

"The Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, originally from the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm, is Qian's True Yang, falling to earth and receiving dull energy, with us, is Yang bore by Yin, returning to Heaven; now we have pure spirit immortal bodies, returning to the mortal world, is Yin wrapping Yang. In this way, Qian and Kun retrieval reveals creation's potential..."

Many of the Heavenly and Earth Immortals present did not understand, feeling perplexed, only a few, such as Master Chi Zhang, immediately comprehended, eyes brightening with shock.

Shi Feiyang truly took the cosmic void as a tripod furnace, the earth as the lower dantian and crescent furnace, the sky as the upper dantian and pivotal cauldron, treating the Outer Heaven as the river car, transporting his True Gold Great Medicine directly from the ground to the skies, refining within the "tripod" according to the Sixty Sexagenary Cycle... Six Ding and Six Jia marking year, then months, seasons, and periods through the Circulation Fire of the Heavenly God. He, taking months in the year, days in the month, hours in the day, within three day-and-night cycles completed a perfect Circulation Fire tempering. Now, returning to the ground, he would begin the "Golden Liquid Rejuvenation Pill!"

Immediately, Master Chi Zhang thought of another problem:

In regular Dan Skills, the body is the tripod furnace, the mind is heaven, kidneys are earth, Kidney Energy nourishes Liver Wood, Qi rises from child to mother to the heart, accumulating Qi into fluid, Heart Fluid transfers to Lung Fluid, because Heart Fire overcomes Lung Gold, this is fluid circulation of married pair, maintaining circulation.

That Jade Liquid Refining, Golden Liquid Refining, is using the Returning Pill to enlighten the body...

If Shi Feiyang saw himself as True Gold Great Medicine, then what was his "body?" Could it be the entire world? Was he going to use the "Golden Liquid Rejuvenation Pill" to enlighten the whole world??

The thought alone was unimaginable, leaving only admiration: such bold ambition!

Shi Feiyang's teachings awakened a few; besides those originally in "Heaven" like Jin Xunu, the Shang Family elders, Tian Chi Master, Huo Wuhai, the ground's Zhenyue Divine Monarch, the young man of Tianqian Mountain also suddenly realized.

If Shi Feiyang could be True Gold Great Medicine, they could be True Gold Great Medicine too, after all, they were all on the "river car" of the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain!

Previously merely cleansed by heavenly tribulation to become ordinary Heavenly Immortals, but what if considering themselves as "True Gold Great Medicine," communicating with the Primordial Qi would not be the same!

Each, caught in a mixture of shock and joy, departed to return to their respective Immortal Mansions for secluded insight.

Shi Feiyang was pleased, perceiving them as "True Gold Great Medicine," they naturally entered the path of his "Mixed Element Great Pill," yet within his system, yielding greater future accomplishments but no longer in the system of ascending to the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm...

These top Immortals retreated to meditate on the mysteries, Shi Feiyang assigned others to their rightful places.

Despite the calamity upgrading the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, the loss was immense. Several high mountains collapsed, rivers dried, large numbers of creatures perished, Sword Immortals met tribulations, and nine out of ten of Yu Country's populace died...

Fortunately, their spirits have entered the Red Lotus Hell.

The Red Lotus Hell has undergone a change, being washed by both natural and heavenly tribulations, and is no longer filled with ghostly or demonic energy, transforming into ethereal Immortal Energy.

The Nine Child Mother Sky Demon and her children have all become Heavenly Immortals...

They are Heavenly Immortals, not Heavenly Demons. Heavenly Demons detest the Nine Heavens' Pure Spirit Qi and cannot withstand lightning strikes, as being struck by Heavenly Thunder will not transform them into Heavenly Demons.

The Mother Demon, originally the Myriad Cold Centipede, was an extremely wanton demon. Later, she absorbed Demonic Qi, becoming even more cruel and lustful, yet was strictly controlled by Shi Feiyang. After many years of discipline, her human nature grew while her beastly nature diminished. When she was terribly struck by Heavenly Thunder, nearly causing her soul to scatter, she achieved enlightenment after surviving, wept bitterly, and bowed to the world: "Grateful thanks to Master Yuan Yang for the enlightenment…"

The nine Child Demons were originally meant to be born, but due to Shi Feiyang's actions, they were not. Characters like Qian Lai and Wei Qing in the original work were supposed to be born from the union of the Heavenly Demon and the Cold Centipede Mother Demon, carrying a grudge in their nature, intending perhaps to seek vengeance against Shi Feiyang, acting with a full demonic nature in both deed and word.

This time, after being purified by the Heavenly Tribulation, they broke free of the Heavenly Demon bloodline and acquired the Heavenly Immortal Body, entering the Mysterious Sect as if awakening from a great dream, obediently kneeling beside their mother to pay homage to Heaven.

The Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, as it neared the ground, was increasingly repelled, halting while still tens of thousands of miles away, ready to follow the invisible waves in the cosmic void and fly elsewhere.

Shi Feiyang had already turned three hundred and sixty degrees within the Magic Well of the Heavenly Secret Demon Divine Shuttle, adjusting the stance of the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain to reclaim its original angle, then angled upward to spray the Void Evil Fire, aiding in the descent of the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, while using Magnetic True Qi to connect with the Earth's axis South Pole, mutually attracting each other.

As it descended to a certain level, with the increasing density and sharpness of the Magnetic True Qi from the earth, the descent speed of the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain also steadily increased.

Shi Feiyang then adjusted the angle of the Secret Demon Divine Shuttle, spraying the Void Evil Fire downward, reversing the polarity to slow the descent, allowing it to gradually, gently settle back into its original position.

The Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, once repositioned, exerted pressure causing the Magnetic True Qi below to erupt outward from the mountain's base, forming a ring of Aurora Fire.

Having returned from a journey to the Immortal Realm, touching the ground once more, everyone felt as though they were returned from another lifetime.

Someone asked Shi Feiyang, since the superior strategy was ineffective, would the medium strategy be enacted, entering other Heavenly Worlds, and if so, why did they fly back?

Shi Feiyang responded that he had conceived a better plan and advised them to remain patient.

Jin Xunu, Huo Wuhai, and others had gone into seclusion, so Shi Feiyang summoned Yuan Hua, first asking him to inform everyone that having undergone this experience, Yin receded and Yang advanced within them. To cultivate the Yang God Heavenly Immortal and ascend to the Immortal Realm would be considerably easier, allowing individuals to choose whether to ascend to the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm based on personal desire.

Additionally, the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain has suffered calamity and now needed recovery. Yuan Hua should organize the citizens to quickly restore order, resume production, and prevent chaos.

Then, Shi Feiyang himself returned to Tianqian Mountain to begin cultivation.

This ascension brought immense benefits to him.

Although he previously had the Dao Level and Mana of a Golden Immortal, matching every Golden Immortal metric, he had not been nourished by the heavens and earth. Essentially, he remained an Earth Immortal, vulnerable to great cosmic calamity, risking significant mana depletion, and hiding in his small world would render him a zombie as the world crumbled.

But now he is different; he is a true Golden Immortal, one of those indestructible across all worlds.

And he is no ordinary Golden Immortal. As the Heavenly God remarked, Shi Feiyang completely comprehended the Heavenly Dao within the Heavenly Treasure Mirror. This time ascending, he sincerely wanted to return the Heavenly Mirror to the Heavenly God and express his gratitude. Unexpectedly, the Heavenly God did not care for the mirror and highly praised Shi Feiyang's understanding of the Dao it contained.

The Chaos Primordial Embryo of old was obtained by the Ancient True Immortals, who crafted the Nine Suspicions Tripod in an effort to refine it into a world through alchemy. However, it failed, leaving the Chaos Primordial Embryo in conjunction with the Nine Suspicions Tripod as merely a powerful treasure capable of capturing Flying Sword Magical Treasures.

Shi Feiyang, using the Dragon Ball to merge with the Primordial Embryo, refined it this time with the heavens and earth as the Tripod Furnace to finally produce tangible results.

He intends to engage in thorough seclusion to comprehend the creation laws embedded within.

This ascension journey proved invaluable, with everyone who survived benefiting to some extent, while even those who perished gained significantly in the Red Lotus Hell.

Under Yuan Hua's command, the powerful entered seclusion for cultivation, and those who were not powerful perished in the Heavenly Tribulation, preparing for reincarnation in the Red Lotus Hell, leaving a drastically reduced population striving to restore production.

The entire Outer Heaven Divine Mountain settled into a rare state of calm.

The cultivators outside learned of the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain's return and assumed Shi Feiyang's ascension failed, celebrating why he had not been entirely annihilated by the Heavenly beings as some wished, knowing failure meant a significant loss of Primordial Qi and power decline, believing their chance had arrived!

A day in heaven equates to a year on earth, and they had patiently waited three years!
