Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 245 Qi Yu goes into seclusion, Ji Du holds a secret meeting

After Emperor Xuanming left, the Blackwater Palace returned to silence.

Deep within the Blackwater Abyss, Qi Yu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of void, looking towards the endless and profound Land of Return to Nothingness.

"Yu Jiang..."

He murmured his former name, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

In fact, from beginning to end, he never fully trusted the "self" deep within the Ruins of Return. Especially after the opponent displayed power close to the pinnacle of Hunyuan in the Battle of the North Sea, this distrust reached its peak and became Qi Yu's biggest concern.

It wasn't that he was being overly suspicious, but it was simply too unbelievable that a lingering obsession from countless ages ago could still reside in a place of destruction like the Ruins of Return, retaining its primordial power, while its true form claimed that it hadn't truly taken that final step yet!
"What their true purpose is will be revealed soon enough."

This is Qi Yu's current thought, and also one of the purposes of Emperor Xuanming's trip. Another purpose is to use the Xuanming Seal to delve into the Ruins of Return and carry the Xuanming End Power, which is different from the Water Element Great Dao of the Earthly Realm. Although Qi Yu does not follow the path of merging with the Dao and returning to the Ruins to destroy the world, the Ruins of Return is ultimately an indispensable link in the Great Cycle of Water Element in the Three Realms. If Qi Yu wants to prove the Dao, he naturally cannot ignore this link.

He hoped to use the Xuanming Emperor as an envoy to bring back the benevolent corpse and then take over the Ruins of Return.

Finally, after a long time, Qi Yu withdrew his gaze, waved his sleeve, and countless runes appeared in the Black Water Palace, intertwining into a profound array. He himself sat cross-legged in the array, the Great Dao of Water Circulation flowing around his body, the Black Emperor's position manifested, resonating with the Heavenly Realm, the Earthly Realm, the Four Seas and all the water veins of the world, and began to condense the Dao Fruit, further exploring the mysteries of the Primordial Chaos.

boom--

In an instant, the Heavenly Dao resonated with him, and all the Dao manifested. Qi Yu's primordial spirit sank into it, and he began his long-awaited seclusion.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Jidu Hall.

At this moment, the void twisted, and the ancient palace located in the dark and chaotic space-time surged with demonic energy. One after another, powerful demonic cultivators gathered, and the current allies of the demonic sect also crossed time and space to arrive in their true forms. For a moment, everyone looked at the throne at the top, and no one dared to utter a word. The atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Pan Man was also among the powerful figures. At this moment, he sat cross-legged on a black demonic lotus, his body covered in blood and gore, clearly suffering from serious injuries.

However, even with his source damaged, the ferocity in his eyes remained undiminished. He coldly surveyed everyone in the hall, and finally his gaze fell on the leader of the demons at the head of the hall, who always concealed his body with chaotic mist and refused to show his true face.

"This time, your Demonic Sect suffered considerable losses, but it seems that I am in even worse shape."

"I accepted your invitation, but ended up returning severely injured, and my journey was almost cut off."

"Demon Lord, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Pan Man's voice was hoarse, his tone filled with suppressed anger.

As his voice fell, an immense pressure erupted, sweeping across the entire Jidu Palace—don't let Pan Man's current miserable state fool you, as the former strongest member of the Anti-Heaven Front, he still possesses the power to overturn the entire table!

If the Demonic Sect cannot give him a satisfactory answer, there is no doubt that the next moment will be the start of war. Even if it means risking his life, Pan Man is confident that he can drag most of the Demonic Sect down with him.

This is the source of Panhuang's evil intent, the confidence of the god of extreme evil! Even the unfathomable demon capital has to be wary of him!

In response, the Demon Leader spoke.

"In the battle of Beihai, the Three Pure Ones joined forces to fight against Hunyuan. The Black Emperor even sank Cangyuan with a single blow. Although Fuxi did not descend upon Beihai, the Zhou Tian Star Array is still troublesome and has Hunyuan combat power."

"We have been utterly defeated." A deathly silence fell over the hall.

The Demon Lord then spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist Panman has indeed suffered greatly this time, suffering heavy losses in the great battle."

"Fortunately, there is a blood pool in my Jidu Palace, which was left by the Demon Ancestor. It is formed by the essence of the blood and life of all the creatures in the primordial world, and the last legacy of the Demon Ancestor is also incorporated into it. It is enough to help Fellow Daoist Panman recover from his injuries, continue his path of cultivation, and even have the hope of making further progress."

"I wonder if you are satisfied with this?"

"Humph!"

Pan Man snorted coldly, but withdrew his imposing aura, which could be considered as acknowledging the Demon Lord's statement.

Naturally, with his foundation, even if he was seriously injured, he was not afraid of the Demonic Sect's tricks. Pangu's evil intentions brought too many methods! In his opinion, even if the true body of the former Demon Ancestor Luo Hou returned, Pan Man would not be afraid of him, let alone the blood pool left behind by the other party.
Just what I wanted!

After calming Pan Man down, the Demon Lord continued.

"In that case, gentlemen, let's discuss what to do next."

"Moli is dead, Fellow Daoist Demon Dragon Mother has been captured, and several other fellow Daoists have perished in the Heavenly Court. Our Demonic Sect has suffered too many losses this time. Fellow Daoists of the Chaos lineage are in a similar situation to us."

"Given this situation, we need to devise a plan for how to conduct ourselves in the future."

The Demon Lord's meaning was clear: he had no intention of admitting defeat, and the Heavenly Court would never allow it. His only choice from beginning to end was to overthrow the Heavenly Court, destroy the primordial world, and create a new world!

All of this has one prerequisite: it must be before a powerful figure in the primordial world attains the Dao of Hunyuan. As far as they know, the Black Emperor of the Heavenly Court is probably less than three thousand years away from finally attaining the Dao. And these three thousand years are the last chance for the Demonic Sect and the remnants of Chaos.

"The Heavenly Court... Yu Jiang, the Sea God!"

The one who spoke was the leader of the remnants of Chaos. He was also a peak Quasi-Saint, an unparalleled expert who had stepped onto the path of Hunyuan. His cultivation was extremely high, no less than anyone else present, but at this moment his expression was solemn.

"The Black Emperor Yu Jiang of the Heavenly Court is our biggest problem right now. He is as powerful as the Three Pure Ones, or even stronger! If we don't have a way to deal with him, all our ideas will be just empty talk!"

Clearly, as the leader of the remnants of chaos, this person was extremely familiar with Yu Jiang, the sea god who was active during the reign of the ancient emperor. It was for this reason that he preferred to call Qi Yu by his original name and did not value the latter's current identity.

This can be considered a common problem among these Chaos Gods who have always wanted to restore the Chaos Era.

Upon hearing this, there was a moment of silence in the Jidu Hall. This was indeed a major matter that had to be considered.

Even the tyrannical and powerful Pan Man fell into deep thought at this moment, considering various countermeasures, but in the end he could only shake his head in disappointment—one strike could sink Cang Yuan! Such an opponent was far too much for Pan Gu's evil thoughts to handle, and he simply could not fight against him, let alone restrain him.

Fortunately, the Demon Lord broke the silence quickly.

"That Black Emperor of Heaven is indeed powerful and difficult to defeat. He is our greatest obstacle in the future."

"But what if we don't have to face each other?"
