Jiang Mo seemed to have grasped a clue, but it vanished in an instant. He couldn't recall what that inspiration that appeared out of nowhere was, but he knew that he was very, very close to the truth of the world.

The Flying Immortal Master's face showed a look of reminiscence, his white eyebrows slightly relaxed, and he began to recount:

"That happened when I was a child. I learned from a conversation between my master and my grandmaster that the Shenlin Sect had fled to this land."

"They initially intended to start a war and unify the nine provinces and seventy-two realms, but they failed to even take a step towards the human race before being defeated. They were suppressed by many Dao Lords of that era and disappeared for a long time."

The Nine Provinces is a general term for the regions of China throughout history, while the Seventy-Two Realms are seventy-two secret realms that exist on this vast land. Ten thousand years ago, the human race and the demon race each occupied thirty-six of them.

It wasn't until thousands of years later that humans finally became the sole dominant species on the land, wiping out the demon race and forcing them into hiding, thus eradicating them from the annals of history. Only a pitifully small number of individuals remained, not a distinct race.

"More than three thousand years have passed since the Shenlin Sect first appeared."

“Even if it’s just to carry out a mission, three thousand years would be enough, but they are still fighting us for the land to survive, just like crops and weeds in a field, killing each other until blood flows like a river.”

"During this time, they never received any stronger reinforcements and were nearly wiped out by us several times. All of this is really too unbelievable. I think the most plausible explanation is that the Divine Descent Sect, which comes from another world, is an exiled sect."

“The Exterminator.…”

Jiang Mo carefully considered the word. For some reason, he wondered what he would do if the entire world turned against the San Yi Sect in the future, or if the world collapsed and the end of the world came. How would he protect his disciples?

If the disparity in strength between the two sides is too great, and even he is powerless to reverse the situation, then the only safe path remaining is...

Initiate a time reversal, sending all disciples to other timelines in order to gain a chance at survival.

"!"

Jiang Mo was suddenly shocked. That's right, why couldn't the Divine Arrival Sect have migrated from another time and space?

After all, they destroyed the ancient Dao lineage. So the question arises: where exactly does the Divine Descent Sect originate, upstream or downstream of the river of time?

Jiang Mo pondered this point for a long time but still had no clue. If they had escaped from the future to the past, why were there no traces of the Divine Descent Sect in other timelines? The logical fallacy here alone made him unable to accept such a simple answer.

However, the truth is known only to the Divine Descent Sect. The ancient secret that occurred on this land is unknown to everyone, which sounds like a tone of contempt for the natives.

Seeing Jiang Mo's silent expression, the Flying Immortal Master suddenly smiled faintly:

"What, even the Venerable Master has a day of worry?"

"You have already reached the pinnacle of this world. Even if the founders of various sects were to be reborn, they might not be able to compete with you for glory. Why should you worry about this?"

"If you really can't let it go, come back to the Flying Immortal Secret Realm with me afterward and ask our seniors from the Heavenly Evolution Hall?"

"What conditions are required?"

Jiang Mo glanced at the old man, but did not refuse his invitation. Instead, he inquired about the relevant matters.

"We value fate, not money."

The Flying Immortal Master said this, but in reality, he was also curious about what was going on inside.

"Then I'll trouble you to make the introduction."

A few hours later, Jiang Mo and the old man sealed all the exits of the secret realms of the four major sects, and the war came to a temporary end.

The barriers surrounding the Deep Sea Dragon Palace and Tianshan quietly dissipated, and the two returned to the Hengduan Mountain battlefield.

Jiang Mo had no intention of winning over the ancient white bird demon king, who was filled with hatred. He directly punched through its head, sending it to its death. He then extracted all the essence and blood from the corpse in one go, pulled out its tendons and bones, and dug out the demon core that had accumulated power in its body.

The bloody scene terrified the Blood Demon Bull. After cultivating for over a thousand years, it had ended up like this, no different from ordinary livestock. How tragic! It couldn't bear it and immediately felt utterly hopeless.

No one can save it now....

The white-haired man approached step by step, his eyes indifferent, with divine fire hanging on his back. He was undoubtedly the strongest cultivator in the mortal world. Who would dare to disobey him?

"Mysterious Lord, I don't want to die."

Even though the hope was slim, the Blood Demon Bull still spoke in human language and pleaded desperately when the man stopped.

"I didn't intend to let you die."

“I will not destroy your clan. The Flying Immortal Sect has a descendant who needs your protection for a hundred years.”

Jiang Mo cut to the chase: "If you can accept it, then live; if you can't, then forget it."

"What about a hundred years from now?"

Blood Python Demon Bull's mood sank, and he couldn't help but ask in return.

Its lifespan is still over four hundred years, and if it continues to cultivate, it will only continue to grow. Such an end is not unacceptable.

"Life and death are your own responsibility; they are none of my concern."

Upon receiving Jiang Mo's reply, the Blood Python Demon Bull remained silent for a few seconds before immediately choosing to submit and loudly thanking him for sparing its life.

Chapter 473 The Half-Master on Tianyan Peak

Jiang Mo slightly raised his right hand, circulating his true energy in his palm. Tens of thousands of blazing silver chains binding the Blood Python Demon Bull's body transformed into streams of Qi that contracted back into his body.

"Boom!"

The Blood Python Demon Bull swayed its body, its imposing form comparable to a mountain, obscuring the entire sky. However, it was bruised in many places, with its right horn and left leg torn open by terrible wounds. The dripping blood resembled a boiling waterfall of lava, piercing through the earth.

Before it could take any further action, Jiang Mo gave the order:

"Calm your mind, clear your mind of all distractions, and do not resist any abnormal reactions your body may have."

"Yes......"

The Blood Demon Bull responded in a muffled voice, knowing this was a prelude to measures to restrain it. It dared not openly resist, but prayed silently in its heart that there would be a solution.

"clatter...."

Jiang Mo's slender fingers landed on the demon bull's skin, which was countless times harder than rock. True Qi began to overflow, coming into contact with the demon Qi and transforming into the same attribute. Then, it penetrated the skin's surface and entered the flesh and blood.

"Wow!!"

In an instant, countless demonic energies were as if they were sucked into a terrifying black hole, undergoing a violent transformation and turning into dark black true energy.

Jiang Mo pushed the true method to its limit, and just like he had done for shaping the human body for the immortals of the Northeast in the past, he forcibly and gradually decomposed the body of the Blood Python Demon Bull with Qi.

"..."

The ancient demon king sensed the abnormality within his body and remained silent. His eyes, which resembled purple suns hanging in the sky, revealed a deep sorrow. He could not bear to look at his own plight, and his state of mind plummeted. He closed his eyes and waited quietly.

"Boom!!"

Soon, the speed of the demonic energy transformation became increasingly astonishing. The flesh, bones, and internal organs of the Blood Python Demon Bull began to gradually disappear. Several hours passed before Jiang Mo was able to completely transform this enormous creature into energy, under the protection of the Wolf King and the Flying Immortal Master.

During this time, the outside world was in complete uproar. Almost all areas within Kyushu, and even many neighboring countries, heard the terrifying explosions coming from outer space. Within minutes, groups of defunct satellites continued to fall to the ground.

Of course, they were only shaken off by the Qi waves that spread to the edge and weakened countless times. If they were within the blast radius of 'Eternal Day,' they would have melted into molten iron in an instant and evaporated again, leaving no trace in the world.

Most countries that use satellites to monitor multiple locations have captured, to varying degrees, that miraculous scene.

At the satellite monitoring center, technicians use the efficient operation of the computer system and the command program to analyze all the data transmitted back from space, and slow down the recorded video by nearly a hundred times.

The images displayed on the screen, without exception, sent chills down the spines of high-ranking officials in various countries.

Seven figures appeared, scattered across the vast expanse of space, transcending the boundaries of science and mythology. They seemed to be gods above the world, appearing in the deep universe and bringing various strange phenomena to that area.

Behind some people was a gloomy palace, like a palace from the underworld, with Ox-Head and Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence, and countless ghosts.

Someone stood in the starry sky with six lotus seals of reincarnation under their feet, radiating terrifying and surging energy that caused the nearby satellite constellation to explode in an instant.

Some were disheveled, their faces covered in blood, and their bodies were wrapped in crimson lightning, resembling gods who controlled slaughter and death.

However, these freaks, who do not resemble humans, are arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, and the man in the middle, with striking white hair and three divine rings forged from flames on his back, is none other than the infamous Demon Lord.

However, this image, which was less than one-hundredth of a frame, immediately became blurry.

Immediately, what everyone saw was a terrifying light bursting forth from the location of the Demon Lord, completing a pinpoint explosion in a fraction of a second, filling the screen with blinding white light.

After detailed analysis by the technicians, the report indicated that the kill radius of that area was a full two thousand kilometers, exceeding the effects of all the ultimate weapons developed by human civilization. Even all the nuclear and hydrogen bombs in the world combined could not achieve such an effect.

More than 160 satellites were located near the area and were blown to pieces before they could be monitored. No one knows how terrifying the temperature was in the area illuminated by the white light. All they could see was that space was burned and distorted, with dense cracks, like broken ceramic. This was an unprecedented miracle.

The one who created this miracle is none other than the Demon Lord, who reigns supreme over the entire world and is the only one of his kind among humankind.

After the video, which lasted only a few seconds, finished playing, the high-ranking officials from various countries in front of the screen were all stunned. What kind of immense power was that, battling in the starry sky, burning two thousand kilometers in one strike?

No wonder they're heading to space battlefields; if it were on land, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The sphere's precise and perfect kill radius is a thousand kilometers. If released on land, no country could withstand it; it would even pierce through the geological structure.

The vast, cold starry sky was stirred to a frenzy by this attack, and the radiance it emitted was countless times more awe-inspiring than a nuclear explosion.

At this moment, the technological weapons that symbolize humanity's survival have completely lost their qualification to compete with top cultivators. The high-ranking human leaders in front of the screen were so shocked that they could not utter a single word for a long time.

........

On the battlefield of Hengduan Mountain, the body of the demon bull had been completely transformed into Qi. Jiang Mo twisted the enormous black sphere, as large as a star, and continuously compressed it to form a human shape.

An hour later, all the demonic energy dissipated, and the pitch-black true energy also vanished. A burly old man, three meters tall, with muscles like refined steel and a weathered face, looked down at his hands with a slightly surprised expression.

Its life form was completely rewritten, from demon to human. Its power was not weakened, but it existed in another form. Everything seemed like a dream, as if it were not real.

"From now on, you will remain in this world for a hundred years. After the term ends, you can make your own choice. I will have nothing to do with you."

As he spoke, ancient Dao True Fire condensed in Jiang Mo's right hand, gradually transforming into a headband. The flame extinguished, turning into a crystal that perfectly fused with the old man's head. Faint indentations were embedded on it, which were the magical imprints that housed the bladeless blazing light.

"Protecting the Dao and ensuring their survival is enough."

“That child has good talent. She has her own path to follow. She can become a Master in a hundred years and will not be weaker than you now. Too much help will not be good.”

"Wha...what?"

Upon hearing that the person who needed his protection was such an extraordinary talent, the Demon Bull was momentarily stunned. This person was far more powerful than its juniors and the demon kings under its command.

Is a hundred years really possible?

Despite the absurdity of the statement being questionable, the Demon Bull found no grounds for rebuttal when it came from the person before him, and even believed it to be true.

Because in its view, Xuanzun also achieved the status of the greatest in the human world at the age of over one hundred years old.

If the two have similar talents, wouldn't it be able to personally cultivate a second Xuanzun? Thinking of this, its complicated and resistant emotions eased a little.

Then, Jiang Mo decisively severed this last favor, offering a few more words of advice:

"On ordinary days, you may consider whether to grant her requests, depending on the circumstances."

"There are only two things you need to do: protect her and not have any rebellious thoughts. If you fail in either of these two things, you can go to your death."

"Finally, don't try to remove the headband; I know exactly what you're thinking."

The cold glint in Jiang Mo's eyes made the Blood Python Demon Bull uneasy once again, and it responded in kind:

"Yes... I understand, I will obey your decree."

At this moment, the Lord of Yaochi, who had been back for a long time, handed over a jade box and said, "Mysterious Venerable, what you wanted is here."

"it is good."

"The remaining enemies in the secret realm have also been wiped out. In addition, I have a request," said the Jade Pool Master, bowing and cupping her hands.

"explain."

Jiang Mo opened the jade box and scanned the cultivation resources inside. There were so many that they were piled up like a mountain, and he couldn't take them all in one glance.

"The secluded realm of the vast sea and cliffs, I wonder if you could grant it to my Jade Pool?"

"Have you discussed it with him?" Jiang Mo raised an eyebrow, asking if she had obtained the consent of the Flying Immortal Master.

"Yes, I talked to the senior, and he is willing to lend me a hand."

"Then take it. Within three years, please send 30 Cloud Frost Jade Robes. Your Yaochi patriarch knows how to forge them. Yaochi is a large and wealthy family, so you can afford to provide these materials, right?"

"Thirty... thirty pieces?"

The Jade Pool Master was taken aback. She vaguely remembered that this was a magical jade robe that only the leader of the Three Ones Sect was qualified to wear, and the materials used were astonishing. Her face showed embarrassment, and she looked troubled:

“Mysterious Venerable, the amount you are asking for is far too large. Forgive my rudeness, but this is indeed impossible to fulfill. I am ashamed.”

"It's not the complete Cloud Frost Jade Suit, a simplified version will do. The materials aren't as extravagant as you imagine. With your resources, it's definitely enough. Go and talk to Senior Du and the others, and you'll know for sure. Besides, isn't it better to exchange this deal for the opportunity to give birth to a new Master?"

“…”

After Jiang Mo's explanation, the Jade Pool Master made her decision and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then let's do as Venerable Xuan says. I will make the best arrangements. We will make as many pieces as we can within three years. If we cannot gather enough pieces, the construction period will have to be extended. Please forgive me."

"can."

After a brief negotiation, Jiang Mo reached an agreement with her, then, remembering the Heavenly Mountain Wolf King standing nearby, he said meaningfully:

"I'm too lazy to track down the Chaos Swamp Lizard. Go to its territory; it's yours now. If it dares to resist, summon me to descend. Just tear this talisman apart; it's effective for one month."
