Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

Seeing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun lightly waved his sleeve, imbuing it with the power of the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, Human Dao, and Immortal Dao, and sent the Eastern Emperor Bell flying.

"Boom!"

At the same time, Demon Ancestor Rahu stared at Dao Ancestor Hongjun's figure, a look of joy flashing in his eyes: "Have you gotten the goods?"

Demon Ancestor Rahu only cared about his own interests and did not care whether Dao Ancestor Hongjun achieved his goals.

Knowing the nature of Demon Ancestor Rahu, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the twenty-four-petaled Dreamy Golden Lotus faintly appeared in his palm: "It's in hand, let's go!"

After speaking, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou shattered the void, using the power of the Heavenly Dao, Immortal Dao, Earthly Dao, Demonic Dao, and Human Dao to interfere, and then disappeared without a trace.

Now, Donghuang Taiyi stared at the spot where they had disappeared, his eyes bloodshot, and roared, "Hongjun, bring back the Human Realm!"

But at this moment, this was all he could vent; he was powerless to do anything else.

Then, Donghuang Taiyi appeared beside his brother, the demon emperor Jun, looking at him with great concern as he fell into a deep sleep.

Although the demonic path only devoured half of the human path, it barely reached the threshold of transformation for the demonic path.

Ying Zheng estimated that before long, after the Demon Emperor Jun awakens again, his cultivation will surge once more, making him one of the strongest among them.

Seeing Donghuang Taiyi's worried expression, Nuwa comforted him, saying, "Don't worry. He is currently in a deep sleep due to his transformation into a demon. Once he wakes up, everything will be settled."

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi looked at Ying Zheng and the others and said, "Thank you all for your protection this time. Taiyi and my brother will remember your kindness."

Seeing Donghuang Taiyi's sensible attitude, Taiqing Daode Tianzun and the other talents showed satisfied smiles.

However, Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha Mother still did not smile.

After all, they can be considered the losers in this battle of wits, no matter how easily Amitabha Buddha spoke.

However, it is no easy task to cultivate the Merit Lotus into the Dream Lotus.

However, we have no choice but to start over, since Amitabha Buddha has left us with no other option.

"Since Fellow Daoist Dijun still needs to undergo transformation, we will not disturb you and will take our leave now. We look forward to Fellow Daoist Dijun's return from seclusion."

After speaking, Ying Zheng and the others left, leaving only Donghuang Taiyi to lead the demon emperor Jun to a secluded place.

Next, the Demon Emperor Jun still needs to undergo a transformation and must not be disturbed.

Otherwise, all their efforts would be in vain, so Donghuang Taiyi decided to hide himself first.

During this period, he will not engage in any other activities, and will wait until his brother, the demon emperor Jun, has successfully transformed.

As for inside the Zixiao Palace, before Dao Ancestor Hongjun could even sit down properly, Demon Ancestor Luohou appeared before him, still reaching out to collect his debt.

Upon seeing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "We have already cooperated for so long, do you think I would renege on my debt like you do!"

Demon Ancestor Rahu didn't care about the disdainful look in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's eyes; a few more glances wouldn't hurt anyone.

Besides, as long as I can get my hands on the Twenty-Four Petal Dreamy Golden Lotus, what does it matter if I'm shameless: "Aren't you uneasy until you get this precious thing?"

Then, with a gloomy expression, Dao Ancestor Hongjun took out the Twenty-Four Petal Dreamy Golden Lotus and handed it to Demon Ancestor Luo Hou: "Here you go."

Upon hearing this, Demon Ancestor Rahu took the item and examined it closely: "It is indeed genuine. But why are you so quick to agree this time? Do you perhaps have another favor to ask of me?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun's lips twitched slightly. After so many years, he still couldn't get used to the arrogant temperament of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou: "What do you mean by asking? This is a win-win cooperation between us. You need the Thirty-Fourth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus in Ying Zheng's hands, and I also need to find a way to take back the human path that was devoured by the Demon Emperor Jun through the demonic path."

Demon Ancestor Rahu fell silent, though he had said that.

However, it was no easy task for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to reclaim the origin of humanity that had been devoured by the demonic path.

Regardless of the fact that the demonic path is the foundation of the demon emperor Jun, anyone who wants to seize it will have to fight desperately.

Even if the demonic path is successfully removed, it remains to be seen whether it can be restored to its original state.

Therefore, the risk is extremely high. Moreover, although the Thirty-Fourth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus is essential, the Demon Ancestor Rahu has discovered during this period that there are substitutes.

Therefore, the Demon Ancestor Rahu resolutely refused: "You should handle this matter yourself! I have important matters to attend to, so please do not disturb me."

After speaking, Demon Ancestor Rahu vanished in an instant.

Seeing Demon Ancestor Rahu swaggering away from Zixiao Palace, Dao Ancestor Hongjun seemed thoughtful: "What's wrong? Does he not want the Black Lotus of Destruction to reach its full potential? Perhaps his bargaining chips are still insufficient?"

Thinking of this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's face darkened: "Rahu is too greedy. Forget it, I'll have to find a way myself."

Meanwhile, the Demon Ancestor Rahu, who left Zixiao Palace, has now appeared in the Demon Ancestor Hall.

The figure of a Great Luo Heavenly Venerable-level inner demon appeared before him, holding a red lotus seed with karmic fire power swirling around it: "Demon Ancestor, I have retrieved the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seed you requested."

Upon hearing this, Demon Ancestor Rahu's lips curled into a wicked smile: "Well done, you shall be rewarded."

After speaking, a wisp of demonic power merged into the inner demon's body, enhancing its essence.

Upon seeing this, the inner demon was overjoyed. With this wisp of primordial power, he might be able to break through to the Primordial Dao Master level: "This subordinate takes his leave."

Then the inner demon's figure departed, and Demon Ancestor Rahu played with the karmic fire red lotus seed in his palm, a playful smile on his face.

"Now, the Thirty-Six Grade Creation Green Lotus has split its origin, with only the Karmic Fire Red Lotus origin remaining unintegrated. Although this lotus seed was only nurtured by the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, it is not impossible for me to break through its limits. I only need to have the Destruction Black Lotus absorb it and supply it with a large amount of origin power to make it perfect. Hongjun, you didn't expect that! I don't need the Primordial Purple Lotus at all!"

This also shows that the previous Demon Ancestor Rahu was mistaken. Ying Zheng's Primordial Purple Lotus was based on the Creation Green Lotus, supplemented by the Destruction Black Lotus Seed, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seed, the Merit Golden Lotus Seed, and the Purification White Lotus Seed, and was nurtured by the Primordial Great Dao.

Therefore, it is said that Ying Zheng's thirty-fourth-grade Primordial Purple Lotus, as long as its source is sufficient, can grow to its peak and have the possibility of reaching perfection.

Subsequently, countless primordial powers flowed in the palm of Demon Ancestor Rahu and were absorbed by the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seed.

In an instant, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seed began to bloom, and under the nourishment of endless primordial power, it instantly grew to the ninth grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus realm.

This has reached the peak of this Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seed; under normal circumstances, it is impossible to break through the innate limitations.

But who is Demon Ancestor Rahu? For him, making a primordial spiritual treasure break through its limitations and become a supreme primordial treasure would be an easy task.

Demon Ancestor Rahu extracted a wisp of demonic origin for the Ninth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus to refine, and he personally erased the true meaning of the demonic path contained within it.

This trace of the power of the Great Dao's origin is integrated into the Ninth-Rank Karmic Fire Red Lotus, nourishing its internal origin and the laws of karmic fire, causing a transformation.

In an instant, the Law of Karmic Fire directly connected with the omnipresent Great Dao of Karmic Fire throughout the world.

This Great Dao is currently ownerless and without a Primordial Dao Lord in charge. Therefore, under the blessing of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, this Ninth-Rank Karmic Fire Red Lotus absorbs a massive amount of the primordial power of the Karmic Fire Great Dao and rapidly grows to the Twelfth-Rank realm.

This leads to the level of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but this is only the beginning.

It paused for a moment, then grew to the thirteenth grade, and then rapidly increased to the fourteenth grade, and finally to the sixteenth grade, becoming a top-tier innate treasure.

Moreover, it has reached the peak of the sixteenth grade, and if it continues to grow, it will transform into a chaotic spiritual treasure.

However, the price required to transform a primordial treasure into a chaotic spiritual treasure is already considerable.

Moreover, this sixteenth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus was cultivated by the Demon Ancestor Rahu using a ninth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, making it even more difficult and costly to cultivate.

At this moment, a hint of hesitation appeared in the eyes of Demon Ancestor Rahu: "Whether or not to upgrade it to a Chaos Spiritual Treasure is also a difficult decision for me. But if I were to integrate the Karmic Fire Dao and its origin, which are at the level of a Primordial Treasure, into the Thirty-Fifth Grade Destruction Black Lotus, I'm afraid it wouldn't cause much of a stir. Forget it, to be on the safe side, I'll wait until it becomes a Chaos Spiritual Treasure before I proceed with the fusion."

After speaking, Demon Ancestor Rahu showed a pained expression and extracted nearly one-tenth of the power of the demonic origin.

The moment the source of the demonic path was extracted, Demon Ancestor Rahu's face turned deathly pale.

At the same time, the thirty-fifth grade Destruction Black Lotus slowly rotated, erasing the demonic essence within it to prevent contamination of the sixteenth grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus's origin.

Just as the demonic path was in turmoil, Dao Ancestor Hongjun in Zixiao Palace seemed to be deep in thought: "What is Luo Hou doing? Why has the demonic path suddenly weakened?"

Yang Mei, the patriarch in Time and Space City, also hesitated: "What's wrong with Luo Hou? Forget it, the weaker he is, the more advantageous it is for me."

Although both closely monitored the changes in the demonic path, they had no intention of intervening.

There has been no news of the Demon Ancestor Rahu so far, so he must be plotting something in secret.

This made them both wary and incredibly curious.

However, the Demon Ancestor Rahu was extremely well hidden, and they were unable to find his hiding place in a short period of time.

Even the slightest disturbance in the demonic path alarmed Ying Zheng, who was closely monitoring its changes.

After all, Demon Ancestor Rahu was his enemy on the Great Dao, judging solely by Demon Ancestor Rahu's covetousness of the Thirty-Fourth Grade Primordial Purple Lotus in his possession.

It is likely that they will take action against him in the near future, which is why Ying Zheng is paying such close attention to the changes in the demonic path.

"The demonic path is weakened, could it be due to injury? Impossible! Or is he plotting something, perhaps even feigning weakness to deceive the enemy?"

Nuwa pondered Ying Zheng's speculations: "Given the cunning nature of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, all of these are possible. Unless we find his true form, we cannot determine the situation at all."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly: "Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Yangmei Ancestor, and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou are all masters of concealment. Finding their hiding places is no easy task!"

At this very moment, amidst the palace complex that guarded Ying Zheng and Nuwa's sacred site.

These large and small palaces were mostly the Daoist temples of the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable and the Primordial Dao Lord under Qin Shi Huang in the Hongmeng Great World.

Now, in the Blood Sea Palace, which was bestowed upon the Styx Ancestor by Ying Zheng, a pool of blood-red lotus flowers is planted in the center of the main hall.

A faint lotus fragrance permeated the air, while the power of various laws, such as karmic fire and raging flames, swirled around it.

These were the very lotuses that the Styx Ancestor had handed over after giving away the sixteenth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

A spiritual treasure cultivated from the lotus seeds left behind by the Sixteenth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Unfortunately, of all the lotuses cultivated to date, only three have grown to the best quality, each a twelve-grade karmic fire lotus.

After all, this is only a lotus seed nurtured by the sixteenth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and it will be quite difficult to make it break through the limitations of an innate treasure.

Moreover, the Styx Ancestor did not have the grand vision of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, so the only way to help him break through was through the tempering of time, hoping that he would create a miracle on his own.

But on this day, these fiery red lotus seeds trembled, yet at the same time, they were filled with excitement, as if they were worshipping their emperor.

This situation only occurred when the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus evolved into a Primordial Treasure.

At this moment, the Styx Ancestor felt a little doubt: "Could it be that Lord Ying Zheng is cultivating it? No, that direction is not where the Lord's Daoist temple is located. Besides, Lord Ying Zheng once offered the Sixteenth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus to the Primordial Purple Lotus to devour in front of everyone."

Suddenly, the Styx Ancestor seemed to realize something, and his eyes flashed with astonishment: "Could it be the Destruction Black Lotus of Demon Ancestor Rahu? Indeed, back then, Demon Ancestor Rahu did not ask me for the Sixteenth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, but Lord Ying Zheng took the initiative. So, is it that he has made a move now?"

With this in mind, the Styx Ancestor, carrying this pool of karmic fire and the Crimson Lotus Pond, rushed to the location of Ying Zheng's Daoist temple: "The Styx Ancestor requests an audience with the Primordial Dao Ancestor!"

As this voice rang out, Ying Zheng, who was discussing the changes in the demonic path with Nuwa, frowned slightly, a look of curiosity appearing in his eyes: "The Styx? What is he doing here?"

Then, Ying Zheng lightly flicked his sleeve and led the Styx Ancestor into the main hall of the Daoist temple.

Looking at the figures of Ying Zheng and Nuwa, the Styx Ancestor respectfully bowed.

He then released the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Pool he had brought. Before him, the many Karmic Fire Red Lotuses appeared to be worshipping their emperor.

This made Ying Zheng hesitate: "This situation is..."

Upon hearing this, the Styx Ancestor said with utmost solemnity, "I have encountered such a situation before, when the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus evolved into a Primordial Treasure. These Karmic Fire Red Lotuses are paying homage to their ancestor, paying homage to their emperor!"

These words immediately made Ying Zheng's expression turn solemn, recalling the previous strange changes in the demonic path: "Could it be that the Demon Ancestor Rahu is cultivating the Karmic Fire Red Lotus?"

The Styx Ancestor then said, "It is precisely because of this possibility that I have come to pay my respects to you, sir. Back in the Demon Realm, quite a few Karmic Fire Red Lotus Seeds were also leaked out, and it would be very easy for Demon Ancestor Rahu to obtain one. What should we do now?"

Looking at the worried Styx Ancestor before him, Ying Zheng understood the source of his anxiety.

They were simply afraid that once the Demon Ancestor Rahu gained power, he would come to settle accounts for their previous betrayals.

At this moment, Ying Zheng comforted him, saying, "A mere sixteenth-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus is not enough to perfect the Destruction Black Lotus. Moreover, the Karmic Fire Dao is currently in turmoil and its origin is being lost. It is estimated that he still intends to cultivate it into a Chaos Spiritual Treasure. Let's take this opportunity to track down his hiding place. Even if we are no match for him, it would be good to thwart his plan."

Upon hearing this, the Styx Ancestor's eyes revealed hesitation and fear: "Is this inappropriate? If we completely enrage Demon Ancestor Rahu, given his cultivation level, it might have a significant impact on you, sir..."

Ying Zheng looked at the Styx Ancestor with disdain, and when their eyes met, the Styx Ancestor's words grew weaker and weaker.

Then Ying Zheng looked disappointed: "Minghe, you're getting worse with age. Although you're cautious now, you've lost your indomitable spirit. How can you possibly attain enlightenment?"

Under Ying Zheng's reprimand, the Styx Ancestor also realized that this was a consequence of his actions over the years.

To attain enlightenment, one must possess the unwavering spirit to persevere even unto death. If one always seeks to retreat and play it safe, no one can be absolutely certain of success.

Therefore, the Styx Ancestor, having finally understood, looked respectful and grateful: "Thank you for your guidance, sir." (End of Chapter)
