I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

"What else do you think you have?" Xie Que looked at Lord Dameng with a smile.

"What you want is the skills and formation diagrams left by His Majesty Taiyi."

Da Meng Tianjun also understood that now these were the only things that mattered to him.

Xie Que turned around slowly, staring at Lord Dameng intently, with a barely perceptible hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

Under this gaze, Lord Da Meng remained silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about some important decision.

Finally, a hint of determination flashed across his golden eyes, and he said, "Deal."

The Great Dream Lord then proposed a condition: "But I have a request... that is, when you help me to peel off the origin of the Golden Crow, can you keep a trace of the True Fire of the Sun?"

"That... is my last connection with the Donghuang Bell."

His voice was a little low. After all, the Donghuang Bell was now his last capital.

Upon hearing this, Xie Que nodded slightly to show his agreement.

His expression was calm and composed, as if he had anticipated this condition.

Xie Que continued: "You don't need so many."

"I can also assure you that the way of heaven in the Earthly Immortal Realm has long been biased towards the human race."

After hearing this, Lord Da Meng was silent for a moment, then asked, "How do you explain Tian Yi's 'following the will of heaven'? Isn't this another form of oppression against the demon race?"

Xie Que raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and explained:

"Although Tianyi's 'following the will of heaven' may seem like a form of oppression against the demon race, in fact, it is also a way for heaven to operate."

Lord Da Meng frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with this explanation, and asked:

"What about your martial arts? What role does martial arts play in the operation of the laws of nature?"

Xie Que's smile became even brighter: "The path that martial arts should take is to allow all living beings to become part of the way of heaven."

His voice was not loud, but it echoed in the ears of Lord Da Meng like a huge bell.

The Great Dream Lord nodded slightly, but he was a little unconvinced.
After he sighed, he indicated that they could begin to strip away the Golden Crow's essence.

After all, the origin of the Golden Crow can be said to be a part of Donghuang Taiyi.

To peel it off is like starting a battle with Donghuang Taiyi.

Then, a huge shadow of a candle dragon appeared behind Xie Que.

The next moment, the head of Zhulong bit the soul of Daying Tianjun fiercely.

On the head of Zhulong, the Dao rhyme of Yu and Zhou began to flow slowly.

The thinking of Lord Da Meng suddenly became slow, as if he had lost his perception of time and space.

He felt as if he was drawn into an unknown vortex of time and space, with countless images flashing before his eyes.

However, in this chaos, the eighteen-winged golden cicada instincts that had been possessed by Lord Da Meng for tens of millions of years began to operate quietly.

A brand new soul actually began to grow inside his simple soul!

This new spirit is like a hatching egg, gradually growing and becoming stronger.

Time passed quietly, and three months had passed. Cracks had already appeared in the soul of Lord Da Meng, like an eggshell that was about to break.

But this is only a surface phenomenon. The real soul is undergoing a transformation internally, just like a cicada shedding its shell.

In the seventh year, in the soul of Lord Da Meng, the origin of the Golden Crow finally revealed its true face, a three-legged Golden Crow burning with blazing flames.

The golden crow spread its wings and seemed to fly, as if trying to break free from the confinement of the cicada shell.

However, no matter how it struggled, it could not break through the seemingly fragile cicada shell.

Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye, and the essence of the Golden Crow was finally completely refined, transforming into a trace of pure true sun fire.

This strand of true sun fire was instantly extracted by Xie Que and merged into his body.

Xie Que smiled slightly, and also felt the extraordinary nature of this Golden Crow's origin. After all, it came from Donghuang Taiyi.
It represents the purest yang in the world, the Sun Taizhen.

In the thirty-sixth year, the outer soul of Lord Da Meng had completely turned into an empty shell, and inside was the new soul that he had nurtured.

After erasing part of the Golden Crow's origin, the new soul inherited everything about the Eighteen-Winged Golden Cicada from the Great Dream Lord, without any loss of its magical powers, Taoism, or realm.

As for the layer of spirit and soul outside, one needs to wait patiently, as it will eventually transform into a piece of "Heaven's Destiny Cicada Cloth".

This is also the incredible power of the Eighteen-Winged Golden Cicada race, and it is also the biggest guarantee that Lord Dayeng can survive to this day.

If it weren't for the purpose of accepting the inheritance from the Emperor of Heaven, he would naturally be unwilling to give up the Heavenly Fate Cicada Cloth that he had accumulated for so many years. That would mean that he didn't know how many times he would die for himself.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already the 49th year.

During these years, with the help of Xie Que, Lord Da Meng not only refined the essence of the Golden Crow, but also completely healed the injuries on his soul.

Not only that, after this period of recuperation, his soul has become even purer.

All this is thanks to the head of Zhulong, which makes the flow of time in the Great Dream Lord different from that in the earthly immortal world.

Although only forty-nine years had passed in the earthly immortal world, for Lord Da Meng Tianjun, four thousand nine hundred years had actually passed.

Such a long time is enough for him to recover from his injuries.

Time flies, and the eighty-first year has passed in a flash.

In this year, the layer of heavenly cicada clothing on the exterior of Lord Da Meng suddenly changed.

It turned into a ray of dazzling golden light and escaped into the soul of Lord Da Meng.

At the moment when the cicada leaf disappeared, a clear and pleasant cicada chirping sound suddenly rang out in the cave.

When the cicada's shell fell off, Lord Dameng slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were as clear as water, revealing an otherworldly temperament.

Eighteen pairs of translucent cicada wings spread out behind him, trembling gently, like a dream.

Da Meng Tianjun stared at the man in front of him and said softly, "Thank you for your care over the years."

Xie Que smiled slightly and responded, "It's just a small favor, don't worry about it."

Lord Da Meng said no more and immediately passed on some of the knowledge in his mind about the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array and the "Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon" to Xie Que without reservation.

Xie Que nodded slightly, without checking whether it was true or not.

He just handed a jade slip to the Great Dream Heavenly Monarch, on the surface of which were engraved the words "Martial Canon":
"Would you like to try it? Although it may not be suitable for you."

……

In the Earthly Immortal Realm, eighty-one years passed in a flash. During this time, the demon court led by Tianyi remained silent.

Although the Great Xia Dynasty had always maintained a state of alert, due to the eighty-one years of peace, people's vigilance had gradually relaxed.

After all, Emperor Yu could tell from Tianyi's various actions that Tianyi was just "building up his power" now.

What he hoped for was nothing more than to wait for the day when the fortune of the human race would gradually decline.

By then, Tianyi will completely release the power accumulated by the Demon Court over the years like a volcanic eruption, and transform it into the destiny of the demon clan.

However, Emperor Yu did not agree with Tianyi's approach.

Although Tianyi mastered the complete River Map and Luoshu as well as the Hunyuan Heluo Array, in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao in the Earthly Immortal Realm, these were nothing but insignificant means.

In the face of the great trend of heaven and earth and the tide of the times in the earthly immortal world, these so-called magic weapons and formations are simply unable to compete with them.

Tianyi also knew very well that both himself and Lord Dameng were almost as powerful as Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun at that time.

Although there is still a certain gap from their peak period, this gap is not insurmountable.

However, considering the current prosperity of the human race, even if these two former masters of heaven are resurrected, I am afraid that according to the general trend of heaven and earth,
A true human emperor will be born in the human race immediately! And he will be the kind that can crush the two demon emperors.

This is also the reason why, although Tianyi boasted so loudly at the beginning, in fact he could only hide in the Hanging City and did not dare to compete with the human race.

Emperor Yu alone, holding the Nine Cauldrons, the divine artifact of humanity, is enough to resist the Demon Court.

Not to mention that outside, there are the Taoist ancestral temples, the Zen ancestral temples, and the Huoyun Cave where the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors still exist.

These human forces, which have existed for who knows how long, are the ones that truly have a solid foundation.

Therefore, Tianyi's approach is actually the most suitable method for the demon race.
Only in this way could they survive during the most prosperous period of the human race.

It is just like when Donghuang Taiyi was the Emperor of Heaven and the human race was at its weakest.

……

In Wuzong's cave, Xie Que slowly unfolded the "Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon" in his hand.

The content was not complicated for him and was even easy to understand.

As time went by, the Golden Crow essence in his body seemed to be touched by this technique and began to tremble slightly.

Suddenly, a crisp cry came from Xie Que's body, and the Golden Crow's origin seemed to be pulled by an invisible force.

It quickly twisted and deformed, and finally turned into the shadow of a golden crow spreading its wings as if ready to fly.

Just when the Golden Crow phantom was about to break free from Xie Que's restraints, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled it back.

The phantom of the Golden Crow struggled for a few times in his hands, but was finally reluctantly taken back into his body.

Xie Que looked at the "Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon" in his hand and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:
"This technique is not suitable for humans, not even other Golden Crow races may be able to practice it successfully..."

There was a hint of disappointment in his voice, and he was obviously not satisfied with the applicability of this technique.

Then, Xie Que began to modify "Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Demon".

Sometimes he frowned in thought, and sometimes he punched hard.

Lord Da Meng stood quietly by, staring at Xie Que's every move, secretly amazed in his heart.

Da Meng Tianjun couldn't help but think of the memories left by Donghuang Taiyi in the Donghuang Bell. It took that emperor three million years to create this technique.

But now, Xie Que could tamper with it so easily, which made Lord Dameng deeply doubt Xie Que's cultivation.

Could it be that Xie Que's cultivation has surpassed that of the original Heavenly Emperor?
Lord Da Meng pondered in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was not absent.

When Lord Da Meng thought of this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that all this was too absurd and outrageous.

After a long while, Lord Da Meng finally came to his senses.

Xie Que also stopped what he was doing and turned to look at him:
"No wonder you still can't defeat Emperor Yu even though you have already entered the Dao-Evolution Realm."

Upon hearing this, Lord Da Meng began to ask the reason.

Xie Que smiled slightly, and suddenly pointed to the chapter "Heavenly Heart Change" and explained:
"Donghuang Taiyi has devoted his entire life to making the Golden Crow Dharma Image perfectly match the Heavenly Dao of the Earthly Immortal Realm."

"However, because of this, this technique has become a 'one-time' killing move."

As he spoke, Xie Que raised his hand and condensed a ball of starlight, which contained both the sun's true fire and the power of the stars. Surprisingly, the two did not repel each other but coexisted harmoniously.

Xie Que looked at the starlight in his hand and continued, "Donghuang Taiyi thought that the Heavenly Dao was the only one, but he didn't know that there were other 'Dao' outside of the Heavenly Dao."

When Lord Da Meng listened to Xie Que's words, a sentence Tian Yi once said suddenly flashed through his mind:

"The so-called general trend is only temporary."

He murmured to himself, "Could it be that Donghuang Taiyi's 'Heavenly Heart' is actually just the 'bias' of the Heavenly Dao in the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

Xie Que seemed to have anticipated the reaction of Lord Da Meng. He smiled and nodded, answering affirmatively:
"That's right. The way of heaven in the Earthly Immortal Realm is biased towards the human race, but Donghuang Taiyi is trying to force the demon race to 'comply' with this way of heaven."

"It's like asking a fish to learn how to fly. It's simply impossible."

Xie Que slowly opened his palm, and a strange tree blossomed in his hand.

The tree is crystal clear all over, as if it is made of ice crystals and flames.

At the top of the tree, a flower of ice and fire quietly bloomed, its petals showing the colors of ice and fire.
Intertwined yet independent of each other, they seem to be the perfect fusion of two extreme forces.

"Martial arts are different. It allows all living beings to define 'Tao' for themselves, just like this tree. It shouldn't have the power of ice and fire at the same time." Xie Que stared at the strange tree in his hand and said softly.

Lord Da Meng stood aside, staring at the tree, thinking about something.

He suddenly thought of martial arts, and recalled the scene when the witches and human monks practiced in the same place.

At that time, although they came from different races, there was no barrier between them in the world of martial arts.

"I understand." Lord Da Meng muttered to himself, "I used to tie up the monsters with ropes, but now I should let them hold the other end of the rope themselves."

At this moment, Xie Que smiled and handed a jade slip to Lord Dameng.

"This is 'Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Cicada', a martial arts technique I created based on you." Xie Que said.

Lord Da Meng took the jade slip and gently stroked the patterns on it.

Then he took a deep breath and slowly put the skills in the jade slip into his mind.

In an instant, his body trembled gently like a cicada's wing.
A chaotic aura emanated from his body, enveloping his entire body.

The chaotic aura became more and more intense, and the body of Lord Da Meng was also constantly transforming.

Although his injuries were still serious, his realm had actually improved a bit due to his understanding of Tian Xin. (End of this chapter)
