King Pan's Remnant Soul, Forging an Alliance

The Hundred Thousand Great Mountains were originally the territory of the Pan Hu Clan. However, after the fall of Old Ancestor King Pan, this place became a deadly land that no living creature dared to approach.

The remaining members of the Pan Hu Clan either refused to yield and died, or fled into the Great Desolation. Some of the more timid ones followed Demon God Xiao Mang and defected to the Demon Clan.

"Selling off your father's land, truly heartless!"

Xuan Qing couldn't help but shake his head as he listened to the rumors about Demon God Xiao Mang, feeling pity for Old Ancestor King Pan.

This Demon God Xiao Mang was originally a direct descendant of the Pan Hu Clan. After ascending to Grand Unity, he led a portion of the clan members to split off and establish the Xiaomang Divine Clan. Later, when the Demon Clan rose to power, Demon God Xiao Mang felt that there was great potential, so he led the entire Xiaomang Divine Clan to join the newly established Heavenly Court!

This was not uncommon in the Great Desolation. Most races were born this way, and being annexed or assimilated by other races was also a common occurrence.

However, Demon God Xiao Mang's offspring were killed by Ancestor Shaman Qiangliang of Thunder during the last Witch-Demon War, making him determined to seek revenge against the Witch Clan.

When he heard that Di Jun had deduced the complete version of the Great Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation and needed more Grand Unity Golden Immortal powerhouses, he immediately thought of his own ancestor.

He didn't consider that the reason King Pan had let him go establish his own sect was precisely to prevent him from causing trouble and leading to the extinction of the Pan Hu Clan's bloodline!

Yet now, for the sake of one offspring, he had not only dragged the entire Xiaomang Divine Clan into peril but also brought a devastating disaster upon the Pan Hu Clan behind the Xiaomang Divine Clan.

That's right!

It was this Demon God Xiao Mang who led the Demon Clan army, along with Demon Emperor Di Jun, to attack the Pan Hu Clan, demanding that the Grand Unity Golden Immortals in the clan join the Demon Clan.

But who knew that King Pan was also hot-tempered? Having taken form several Yuan Cycles before Di Jun, and being fellow travelers of Zixiao Palace, how could he be willing to submit to Di Jun?

Thus, the great battle that shocked many powerful beings in the Great Desolation ensued.

"Find him for me!"

"You must find the Old Ancestor's magical treasures!"

This Demon God Xiao Mang was also witnessing his ancestor's strength for the first time.

After all, even Di Jun, who led the Demon Clan, had almost fallen at King Pan's hands. This also made him covet King Pan's several Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Therefore, after Eastern Emperor Taiyi led the Demon Clan army to retreat, he, along with some Demon Clan members, traversed the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, which were filled with poisonous miasma, hoping to find the Innate Spiritual Treasures left behind by King Pan.

At the same time, many rogue cultivators from the Great Desolation also came to this place seeking opportunities.

However, the poisonous miasma that evolved after King Pan's death was truly terrifying. These so-called rogue cultivators only dared to wander around the periphery of the poisonous miasma!

Only Demon God Xiao Mang, relying on his Grand Unity physical body, repeatedly charged into the depths of the poisonous miasma.

Unfortunately, he still found nothing!

Xuan Qing, using the "Golden Cloud Crown" and "Innate Eight Trigrams" to conceal himself in the void, did not alarm this Demon God and successfully entered the depths of the poisonous miasma.

Plague poison and miasma were inseparable. With Yu Jiang's "Plague God" authority, these poisonous miasmas that ordinary Taiyi cultivators avoided like the plague had no effect on him.

He shuttled through the poisonous miasma, meditating on the "Way of Plague Poison" while searching for the whereabouts of the "Heavenly Gu Yuan Yu Banner" and the "King Pan Yuan Gu Sword."

Yu Jiang was, after all, a figure from several hundred Yuan Cycles ago. Although he possessed the "Plague God" authority, his Way of the Plague God was not as complete as Old Ancestor King Pan's.

Times were progressing, and various Great Daos, after generations of development, had become increasingly complete, even giving rise to new branches.

King Pan's Great Dao included the Way of Plague Poison, the Way of Curse, the Way of Enslavement, and the Way of Gu Worms, and could no longer be considered the original Way of Plague Poison!

Perhaps, calling it the "Great Dao of Plague and Pestilence" would be more appropriate.

In the poisonous miasma at the core of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, gu worms were dense and miasma was rampant. Xuan Qing had an epiphany; these were gu worms evolved from the "Heavenly Gu Yuan Yu Banner."

"What a stroke of luck!"

Xuan Qing attempted to refine a few gu worms using his "Plague God" authority. Relying on the connection between the gu worms and the "Heavenly Gu Yuan Yu Banner," he found a small world.

The King Pan Bead!

This was a treasure bead condensed by King Pan with his own Great Dao. It belonged to neither Innate nor Postnatal; it contained its own world, making it a rare treasure!

The King Pan Bead was not large, only about the size of a fist, its spiritual light dim. If not for the gu worm's guidance, Xuan Qing might not have discovered this bead hidden in the poisonous miasma.

As soon as he grabbed the King Pan Bead, it unleashed a terrifying suction force, pulling him into a small world filled with various poisonous miasmas.

The poisonous miasmas outside were nothing compared to the ones in this small world; the terrifying miasma had almost condensed into water droplets.

At this moment, an ancient voice sounded: "I never expected a creature in the Taiyi Realm to be able to enter the King Pan Bead, condensed by this Old Ancestor's lifelong cultivation!"

"King Pan?"

Xuan Qing tentatively asked.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi had personally taken action and even used the "Chaos Bell," a supreme treasure. King Pan must have perished. What remained here could only be King Pan's remnant soul.

He was certain of this!

"Human Race?"

The voice was also surprised: "It's truly unbelievable that a mere Human Race would not fear plague poison and dare to call this Old Ancestor by name?"

"This humble Daoist is Xuan Qing, a disciple of Saint Tongtian!"

Xuan Qing did not hesitate to mention his backing: "I heard that the Old Ancestor was also one of the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace. I never expected you to have fallen to such a state!"

"So, you are a Saint's disciple!" King Pan's remnant soul spoke again: "However, Tongtian attained Dao through the sword; how could he have a disciple like you who favors plague poison?"

While increasing his vigilance, Xuan Qing used his divine sense to search for King Pan's remnant soul: "My master advocates for teaching without discrimination, and naturally would not interfere with his disciples' choices!"

Even though it was just a remnant soul, caution was paramount, especially on the opponent's home turf.

As soon as he spoke, he invoked the name of Sect Master Tongtian, also to make the other party wary.

"That makes sense!"

The remnant soul of King Pan seemed wary of Xuan Qing's identity as a disciple of a Saint and dared not act rashly. "Young friend, I will give you the Heavenly Gu Yuan Yu Banner and the King Pan Yuan Gu Sword. Help me do something, how about it?"

"What is it?"

"Help me kill that brat Xiao Mang!"

Xuan Qing was unmoved upon hearing this. "Senior, are you joking? I am merely a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, how can I kill the Grand Unity realm Demon God Xiao Mang?"

There was something he didn't say: as long as your remnant soul is dealt with, the Heavenly Gu Yuan Yu Banner and the King Pan Yuan Gu Sword will naturally be mine.

A remnant soul of a powerful being, and a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, who was easier to deal with, he could still tell.

King Pan was powerful, but that was when he was alive. A mere remnant soul, what waves could it stir?

"You don't need to do it yourself!" the remnant soul of King Pan enticed, "As long as you lure him into this small world, this old ancestor will have a way to deal with him!"

Xuan Qing remained unmoved.

Seeing this, the remnant soul of King Pan had no choice but to say, "I see you are not afraid of plague poison because you have inherited the authority of the Plague God! As long as you help me accomplish this, this old ancestor will not only give you two Innate Spiritual Treasures, but also give you my entire Great Dao!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"First, make a Heavenly Dao oath!"

King Pan's Great Dao was even more valuable to Xuan Qing than the two Spiritual Treasures, but he didn't fully trust the other party and had him make a Heavenly Dao oath first.

As a Quasi-Saint expert, King Pan had already condensed his Innate Undying Spiritual Light. His current demise was merely his physical body and Primordial Spirit being forcibly destroyed by the Chaos Bell!

His true spirit had long been imprinted in the river of time. If he had great fortune in the future, it was not impossible for him to return. The Heavenly Dao oath was still effective for him.
