Seeing that things were on the right track, Jiang Yun prepared to return to Mount Sumeru.
He left the Demon Locking Pagoda in place and distributed the dozens of Jade Token he had crafted to the disciples stationed around it, who were responsible for containing the demons.
Once all the demons have been cleared out, all you need to do is notify him, and he can retrieve the Demon Locking Pagoda directly through his Primordial Spirit imprint and place it near the other two towers within the Sect.
Just as he was preparing to return to Mount Sumeru, the jade talisman he used to communicate with Kong Xuan suddenly lit up, and Kong Xuan's voice came through it. "Jiang Yun, I've made a great discovery! I found some good things in the southeast of the Demon Abyss."
Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow. "What is that?"
"Come and see for yourself, I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised," Kong Xuan said, his voice tinged with excitement.
Jiang Yun put away the jade talisman, and with a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Southern Region.
After passing through several barriers of Demonic Qi that had not yet completely dissipated, he sensed that Kong Xuan was underground ahead, seemingly having found something from the Earth Veins.
He used the Five Elements Great Escape to disappear into the Earth Veins.
"You've come at the perfect time." Kong Xuan turned around, a rare smile on his face. "Look what this is."
He stepped aside, revealing three orbs of light from the Earth Veins behind him: one with a black and white interwoven Yin-Yang pattern, one exuding a mysterious aura of the Qiankun Law, and a jet-black lotus seed with a deep, eerie light flowing across its surface.
Jiang Yun's pupils contracted slightly. "Could this be the origin of the Yin-Yang Ancestor and the Qiankun Ancestor who perished in that Great Tribulation? And that's Luohou's Black Lotus Seed?"
"That's right." Kong Xuan nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "It should be the residual power of the two ancestors after their deaths during the Dao-Devil War. I don't know why it remains here."
This Black Lotus Seed was likely lost during Great Tribulation, containing pure Destruction Law.
Jiang Yun approached the Altar, carefully sensing the aura emanating from the three treasures.
This Yin-Yang Origin energy seems quite different from the Congenital Yin-Yang Qi of the Winged Immortal. It contains the essence of many other Laws, giving rise to the idea that One Dao Evolving into Ten Thousand Daos.
The same applies to the Heaven and Earth Origin and earth, where the profound mysteries of spatial changes are fully revealed.
In comparison, the Black Lotus Seed were quite ordinary.
"How did you find out?" Jiang Yun asked curiously.
Kong Xuan pointed to the aura of Destruction Law emanating from the Earth Veins: "I sensed a familiar aura, followed it, and discovered this Altar."
He paused, then said, "I think it might be Heavenly Dao intervention, providing guidance."
Jiang Yun nodded, his gaze shifting between the three treasures. "These things..."
"Let's divide it according to the amount of effort you put in!" Kong Xuan said decisively. "This trip relied entirely on you to resolve the Remnant Soul of Luohou. You contributed more, so you should rightfully receive more."
How about this? I want the Yin-Yang Origin, and the rest is yours.
Jiang Yun was somewhat surprised. "Are you sure? Black Lotus Seed are formed from Innate Spiritual Root; they're quite valuable."
Kong Xuan smiled, a hint of longing flashing in his eyes. "The Yin-Yang Origin is more important to me."
As you know, I have been trying to understand the mysteries of the Five Elements reversing Yin-Yang, and then evolving into Taiji.
This is related to my path to enlightenment.
Jiang Yun suddenly realized. Kong Xuan's Innate Divine Ability was the Five-Colored Divine Light. If he could understand the mystery of Yin-Yang transforming into Taiji Chi, it would indeed be of great benefit to his cultivation.
"Alright, it's settled then." Jiang Yun no longer declined, raised his hand and released a burst of Magical Power to take the three treasures off the Altar.
The Yin-Yang Origin fell into Kong Xuan's hands and immediately transformed into a stream of light that entered his brow.
Kong Xuan closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then a satisfied expression appeared on his face. "Indeed pure, enough for me to study for tens of thousands of years."
Jiang Yun then put away the Heaven and Earth Origin and Earth and the Black Lotus Seed. The moment he held the Heaven and Earth Origin, it felt as if he were holding a Small World. The Black Lotus Seed was also unusually heavy, and holding it in his hand gave him the illusion of holding the entire Demon Abyss.
Jiang Yun wondered, could this Black Lotus be the one Wutian to the West?
"This Black Lotus Seed..." Jiang Yun sensed it carefully, then his expression suddenly changed slightly. "There's actually a trace of Luohou's will remaining inside!"
Kong Xuan was startled upon hearing this. "What? It's not completely cleaned up yet?"
Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "It's not Remnant Soul, it's more like a wisp of obsession."
It seems that Luohou had long anticipated his eventual demise and had deliberately left a contingency plan within the Black Lotus Seed.
As he spoke, the World Power surged, firmly imprisoning the Black Lotus Seed. The eerie light on the surface of the lotus seed flickered a few times before finally settling into stillness.
"Do you need my help?" Kong Xuan asked with concern.
Jiang Yun shook his head. "No need, I can handle it. But you..." He looked at Kong Xuan, "Is the Yin-Yang Origin alright?"
Kong Xuan smiled confidently, "Don't worry, the Yin-Yang Ancestor has long since perished. This origin contains no will; it is purely a condensation of Laws."
After checking the Earth Veins again to make sure nothing was missed, the two decided to leave the Demon Abyss.
After walking a short distance, Jiang Yun suddenly stopped. "Wait, I just remembered something."
"What's wrong?" Kong Xuan turned around.
Jiang Yun pondered, "The Yin-Yang and Qiankun Ancestors still have their remnants of their origins here, so what about the others...?"
As far as I know, there were more than just these two Chaos Demon Gods who participated in the war back then...
Kong Xuan's eyes lit up. "You mean, there might be other demon gods' relics in the Demon Abyss?"
"Very likely."
Jiang Yun nodded, "Let's return to Mount Sumeru first. After the matter of the Demon Locking Pagoda is resolved and the Spirit Land Construction begins, we can come back for a thorough search."
Kong Xuan agreed, "That's fine too."
Anyway, the Demon Abyss is now under our control, so the treasure won't escape.
The Two left the Demon Abyss and returned to Mount Sumeru, where disciples had been waiting for them for a long time.
"Vice Sect Leader, Dharma Protector Kong Xuan." A Golden Immortal disciple stepped forward to pay his respects. "The Master instructed me to wait here, saying that once you two return, you should immediately go to the Main Hall."
Jiang Yun and Kong Xuan exchanged a glance, knowing it must be about the Demon Abyss.
Main Hall, Jieyin and Zhunti were discussing the Dao.
Seeing the Two enter, Zhunti smiled and said, "You the Two, tell us what happened!"
Jiang Yun stepped forward and gave a detailed account of the journey to the Demon Abyss, focusing on the destruction of Luohou's Remnant Soul, the placement of the Demon Locking Pagoda, and the discovery of the Demon God's relic.
Upon hearing that Luohou's Remnant Soul had been completely destroyed, Jieyin nodded slightly. "Good."
With the threat of the Demon Abyss eliminated, the last scar on the Western Land has been healed.
Zhunti was very interested in the Demon Locking Pagoda: "This Demon Locking Pagoda is ingeniously designed; it can both control the number of demons and provide a training ground for disciples."
Jiang Yun, your idea is excellent!
Jiang Yun humbly replied, "This disciple is merely following the trend."
We the Two believe that there might be other demonic treasures remaining in the Demon Abyss, which we should pay close attention to during the subsequent Spirit Land Construction.
As he spoke, he took out the Heaven and Earth Origin and Earth and the Black Lotus Seed for the two to see.
As soon as the two treasures appeared, a mysterious aura filled the hall.
Jieyin's gaze sharpened. Jieyin and took the Black Lotus Seed, examining it carefully before saying, "It does indeed contain a trace of Luohou's obsession. With your current cultivation level, it's not a problem."
Zhunti, however, was more interested in the Heaven and Earth Origin: "The Way of Space of the Qiankun Ancestor is unparalleled in Chaos; this origin will greatly benefit your World Law Rule."
Jiang Yun nodded. "That's exactly what I was thinking."
Although the Inner World me has taken shape, it is still lacking in spatial transformation.
If one can comprehend the Heaven and Earth Origin, perhaps one can advance further.
The Jieyin returned the Black Lotus Seed to Jiang Yun, instructing him. "You still have Bailian and Purple Lotus Seed, and now you've obtained the Black Lotus Seed. All three originate from the same source; perhaps you could try fusing their origins to see if you can improve their grade."
"I understand," Jiang Yun solemnly replied.
At this moment, Kong Xuan also revealed the Yin-Yang Origin he had obtained.
Upon Zhunti this, Zhunti's eyes flashed with surprise. "Yin-Yang transform into Taiji... Kong Xuan, are you trying to comprehend the Xiantian Five Grand Primordials?"
Kong Xuan respectfully replied, "This disciple does indeed have this intention."
Although the Five-Colored Divine Light is powerful, it is ultimately limited by the Five Elements. If I could reverse the Yin-Yang, and recreate Taiji, it might help me reach the Yuan Sect.
The Jieyin nodded approvingly. "Not bad, that's ambitious."
The Yin-Yang Ancestor's Path of Yin-Yang are indeed profound. Study them carefully. If you have any questions, you may come and ask me.
"Thank you, Master," Kong Xuan said happily.
