The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

The devil's calamity may not seem as earth-shattering as the previous fire and thunder calamities, but it is actually more dangerous. It all acts on people's hearts. A single thought may lead to eternal damnation!
The Emei Sect and others saw that the thick blood fog had completely covered the four altars on the southern shore of Xingxiu Lake. The top was almost connected to the calamity clouds, and there were tens of millions of wisps of devil fog hanging in the middle, with demon shadows looming in it, which was very eerie and terrifying.

Those with poor skills could not see clearly what was happening inside. Master Baiyun and others asked Qi Shuming: "Up to now, we have not been able to destroy even one magic sword. When the magic calamity is over, the twelve Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords will be born. In the future, the world will be rid of demons and the whole world will become a demon domain!"

The Three Immortals of the East China Sea could see some clues in the blood mist, but not as clearly as Master Youtan.

The old nun shouted angrily, "What a monster! You actually used the Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon to seduce the foreign Heavenly Demons, in an attempt to give birth to a child to refine the demons!"

No one quite understood what she said. After listening to her explanation, they were all stunned and speechless for a moment.

When others face demonic calamities, they carefully meditate, not daring to have any thoughts at all. They just want to get through each moment as quickly as possible, for fear that any thoughts they have will be taken advantage of by the demons.

That demon dragon was actually able to refine demons during the demonic calamity! He even had the wild idea of ​​letting the demon he refined himself have sex with the demon of heaven. It was simply unbelievable!
"If that evildoer can really use this method to refine the Nine-Child Mother Heavenly Demon, wouldn't it be... wouldn't it be even more difficult to control than Jiupanpo? Once he refines the Heavenly Demon and the Demon Sword, he will be lawless!"

Master Youtan also frowned. This time, Qi Shuming invited Zen Master Baimei, Zen Master Tianmeng, Master Fentuo, Master Youtan, as well as Li Jingxu, the True Man of Bliss, and Yan Mian of Miaozhen Temple.

Zen Master Tianmeng said that it was because of his junior fellow disciple Xie Shan that he was taking him wandering around the world, accumulating the six paramitas through asceticism, and had no time to take care of anything else.

Ji Le Zhenren was also playing around in the human world outside. When the invitation was delivered to the cave, his wife, Sun Xun, the Five Blessings Fairy, received it and just said that she would pass it on when he came back.

This was just an excuse to decline. Li Jingxu was playing outside with the body of a little boy condensed from the elite of the five elements, and the young man's real body was still in the cave. If there was an emergency, Sun Xun would definitely find a way to notify him.

In addition, Zen Master Baimei is still meditating in seclusion in the stone wall. Among the five great Buddhist masters in the Shushan world, Zunsheng and Tianmeng are the best, followed by Fenduo and Baimei, and then Youtan.

The old monk Baimei knew that he still had some shortcomings, so when he came to the top of Mount Emei to worship the Buddha's light in the past, he took the opportunity to imitate Zen Master Bodhidharma's practice of facing the wall at Ningbi Cliff. He directly "faced" himself into the cliff and would not come out before the end of fifty years.

Master Fentuo and Yan Mian also made excuses. Others did not know the reason, but Master Youtan knew.

Fentuo and Miumi, one a Buddha and the other a Taoist, are both top super masters. They know that there is a terrifying demon sealed under the Xingxiu Sea. In fact, they are not afraid of Deng Yin in a one-on-one fight. Even Yan Miumi's Qiantian Taiyi Silent Divine Thunder is Deng Yin's nemesis.

But they couldn't catch Deng Yin. Once Deng Yin came out, it would cause endless catastrophe. Masters of their level would have to gather four or five of them, and they would have to make many calculations and plans in advance, set traps to lure Deng Yin in, and only then would they have a hope of eliminating him in one fell swoop.

The two men calculated that once they arrived at the scene, Shi Feiyang would definitely release Deng Yin when he was at his wit's end. If that happened, the consequences would be disastrous.

Therefore, neither of them came, only Fentuo asked Yang Jin to bring a talisman that could transform into Sumeru Vajrapani.

It was precisely because Shi Feiyang knew that they did not come that he was reluctant to release Deng Yin. This could be considered a strategic deterrent for both sides.

Master Baiyun asked: "What should we do next? We must not let them refine the magic sword!"

"We still have one last chance." Master Youtan said solemnly, looking at the rolling magic fog in the distance.

Shi Feiyang sat upright on the Five-Colored Divine Peak of the central altar, his body and soul motionless, passively accepting all the touches sent back by the Nine Swords and Nine Demons, all the illusions inspired by them, all kinds of crying and shouting, begging and roaring, with sound and light, smell and touch, and a large number of heavenly demons pouring into his mind like a waterfall...

He attracted 80% of Demon Tribulation's power, leaving Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch to bear 10% alone, and Bai Gu Shenjun and Xu Wan to bear 10% together.

The situation of Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch was very bad. He sat cross-legged on the "Zhongyue" and used all his strength to protect his mind. In addition to the demonic calamity in the sky, he also had to face the attack from Chiyou's soul.

"Why do you want to separate from me now? Didn't you say you would live and die with me just now?" The roaring voice of Emperor Chi You resounded in his mind like thunder.

Just now he and the magic sword merged into one, which was equivalent to using his own body to sacrifice the sword to practice magic, and his soul and Chi You merged with each other. This time they wanted to separate, but Chi You refused.

Chi You now wants to merge with his soul, and even completely devour his soul, occupy his body, and use his body to return to the world!

Fortunately, only one third of Chi You's original spirit remained, and Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan was no ordinary person either. He had practiced Taoism for hundreds of years. With the same amount of practice time, the magic power cultivated was different. Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan was considered a genius in Taoism, and his practice was much higher than that of his junior brother Sikong Zhan. At this time, he could still barely hold on.

The other two, the White Bone God and Xu Wan, could not hold on any longer.

First came Xu Wan, who called himself the Saint of the Underworld and specialized in killing, snatching and refining souls. At this time, in the demonic realm, the ghosts he had killed in the past emerged one after another, thousands of them, surrounding him from all sides. Some ghosts were hanging upside down from above, bleeding from all seven orifices, wailing at him: "I died such a miserable death..."

Some people came out from underground and grabbed his ankles and thighs, as if they wanted to drag him into hell: "I want you to go down with me and be buried with me!"

These are not real ghosts, but illusions of demons. Some are just illusions, and some are real demons that have transformed to take him away.

Xu Wan was also well-informed and knew the key to it. He did not need to use any method to cure ghosts. He only used the method of refining demons to protect himself. At the same time, he closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, guarding his consciousness and not wavering.

Suddenly, without opening his eyes, he "saw" a female ghost floating in front of him. She was wearing a red gauze dress and was very beautiful and gorgeous. It was Qiao Qiao, the female ghost in his ghost palace.

Qiao Qiao was originally a palace maid during the Yongle period. Because of her beauty, she was favored by the Yongle Emperor. However, before she could inherit the emperor's favor, she was killed by a jealous concubine.

In her second life, she was born in an ordinary family. Her parents married her to a village idler. Because she disliked her husband's ugliness, she refused to sleep with him. She was so angry that she hit her head and died after being insulted.

In her third life, she was born in a wealthy family named Qiao in Shanxi. She was more beautiful than in her previous two lives, but she had a strong temperament. She hated men and swore not to marry, but her parents still arranged a marriage for her. Before the marriage was completed, her family fell into poverty and she encountered bandits. In order to protect her innocence, she committed suicide. She died with resentment from three lives. Her true soul wandered in the world. She was met by Xu Wan, who took her back to Beimang Mountain and taught her how to refine her body and strengthen her soul. He loved her natural beauty and her deep roots, so he wanted to marry her and make her the Queen of the Underworld.

Although Xu Wan truly loved her, she was wary of him, constantly finding excuses to postpone marriage, and stubbornly guarding her chastity before marriage, while constantly asking Xu Wan to teach her magic.

After many years, she had learned most of Xu Wan's "Taiyin Ghost Seal". Except for the last few most advanced chapters which she was unable to complete due to her own limitations, she had successfully practiced all the others.

Xu Wan wanted to marry her again, but she despised Xu Wan's unorthodox practices, which would prevent him from achieving enlightenment. Because she was beautiful, she naturally did not want to borrow someone else's body to be resurrected. But even if she was reincarnated, she would still be a member of the unorthodox sect and would never be able to enter the true path. So she had other ideas.

As the years passed, Xu Wan gradually realized her feelings, but he still insisted on keeping her by his side and taking good care of her, hoping that one day he could make her change her mind.

This time when he came to Xingxiu Sea to refine the sword, because it was too dangerous, he only brought other disciples with him, leaving Qiao Qiao and the fourth disciple to look after the house in Beimang Mountain.

The moment he saw Qiao Qiao, Xu Wan knew that this was an illusion of the devil and he should not take it seriously. He let Qiao Qiao fly from far away and talk to him.

"Master, I'm leaving..."

Xu Wan regarded it as an illusion and remained unmoved.

Qiao Qiao sighed quietly, "I knew long ago that your Taiyin Ghost Seal had no future and could not achieve the right result. You, the self-proclaimed Dark Saint, would not last long and would meet with disaster sooner or later. I'll tell you a secret. Many years ago, when I was out, I met the second disciple of the Xuanyuan Dharma King, the Devil Patriarch Gu Ying, by chance.

He thought I was great and wanted to take me into the palace and make me the Ghost Consort. I disagreed at first, thinking he was just like you, but after learning his skills, I really felt he was much stronger than you! This time you went out to practice swordsmanship, and he arrived right after you left. He said that your luck had run out and that you would definitely be doomed this time and could not return to Beimang Mountain, so he asked me to go with him. "

She blew a gloomy breath at Xu Wan and asked, "What do you think? Should I go with him?"

Xu Wan still regarded these as illusions of the devil and ignored them.

At this time, a mean voice came from the blood mist on the right: "My beloved, didn't you say you didn't love him at all? Why are you so polite? Why don't you just tell him that I'm not only going to take you with me this time, but I'm also going to take his life and seize the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword he just refined?"

Xu Wan had heard this voice before and knew it was from the second disciple of the Xuanyuan Dharma King, the devil ancestor Gu Ying. He was immediately shocked: "Is this all true? Is Gu Ying really here?"

Before he could finish his thought, the six lights in front of him all turned emerald green and shot up to more than three feet high. A young man in a black cloak appeared in the flames. There were six figures in total, laughing wildly at him.

The array of lights he set up, the six lights in the front correspond to the six stars of the Southern Dipper, and the seven lights behind correspond to the seven stars of the Northern Dipper. As the saying goes, the Northern Dipper represents death, and the Southern Dipper represents life, and all his life depends on these six lights in the front.

At this time, the six lights changed color, which meant that his life was cut off...

There are two possibilities. One is that it is an illusion of the devil, making him see that the light has changed color, but in fact the light remains the same as before.

Another possibility is that the light really changed color and Gu Ying really arrived!

Xu Wan was still in doubt as the six ancient fireflies in the light each made a hand seal and simultaneously cast a talisman made up of emerald green flames.

He could see clearly that this talisman was exactly the Taiyin Ghost Talisman that he had practiced painstakingly for hundreds of years!

Xu Wan hurriedly used his fingers to break the six ghost scrolls, and shouted, "How do you know my unique secret technique?"

"How else could I know that? Of course my Ghost Concubine taught me!"

At this time, the seven lights behind Xu Wan also turned emerald green, revealing seven ancient fireflies. They cast spells at the same time, this time releasing flying knives refined by Yin Sha. A total of thirteen black lights attacked Xu Wan from the front and back!
In order to guard against the devil, Xu Wan had an Avici Pearl hanging above his head. At this moment, he shouted angrily, stretched out his finger and pointed, and the pearl rotated. The thirteen lights immediately turned from emerald green to pale white. At the same time, there was a "pop" sound, and white lamp flowers burst out. The image of Gu Ying inside disappeared immediately, and even Qiao Qiao who had been there before disappeared without a trace.

The surroundings returned to their original tranquility, and the sixty and seventy-three lamps in front and behind were still burning quietly as if nothing had happened.

Could it really be an illusion of the devil? Xu Wan couldn't tell whether it was true or not, and became suspicious again.

Just at this moment, he sensed that the Demonic Sword placed not far ahead had some movement!

In fact, he had already regretted refining this sword. Originally, Taiyi Hunyuan Patriarch wanted to teach him to refine the Bailing Zhanxian Sword, but that person wanted to refine nine swords. He was angry for a moment and followed suit. At this time, all his disciples had died, and he felt that his doom was approaching. He was afraid that he would not survive today...

But the sword-making has already begun, and I can’t give up halfway. I can only grit my teeth and continue to make it!
At this time, the Demon Sword was in tune with his mind. He felt that the sword was moving, as if it was grabbed by an invisible hand and was about to fly away.

But the sword was right in front of him. Although the mandala was broken, it still kept most of the blood mist out. He could see the sword with his eyes, which was always stuck there steadily and motionless.

There is a deviation between what I see with my eyes and what I feel in my heart. Which one should I believe?
Xu Wan raised his head and exhaled a breath of essence, then made a seal with his left hand to hold up the Avici Pearl, pointed his right hand forward, and shot out a Taiyin Ghost Scroll.

The pale white flame condensed into a talisman and flew out, hitting the sword. There was a "pop" sound, as if a layer of glass floating on the surface was broken, and the truth behind it was revealed. His most beloved female ghost Qiao Qiao was hanging above the magic sword, holding a bloody human head in her left hand and a black ghost knife in her right hand. She kept poking the human head with the knife. The blood in the head dripped down and was immediately absorbed by the magic sword when it hit it.

Xu Wan looked at the head and recognized it as his fourth disciple Chen Hui. When he came out this time, he had a bad feeling and specially left this disciple to look after the house and protect his master's wife.

He was still hesitating whether this scene was real or fake, when suddenly the Avici Pearl seemed to be wrapped by some huge force and forcibly pulled backwards! (End of this chapter)
