"Golden Horn," Supreme Pure Dao Venerable said calmly.

The Golden Horn Boy, who was serving nearby, respectfully replied, "Ancestor."

"Take my imperial edict and deliver it to the Jade Emperor in Heavenly Court," Supreme Pure Dao Venerable instructed.

"Yes." The Golden Horn Boy picked up the jade talisman that appeared out of thin air with both hands, and then flashed away from the Eight Views Palace.

"I originally wanted to let Changsheng cultivate in peace for a while... Now that the Wujian Gate has taken notice, there's no way to avoid it, so the only option is to stop the killing with killing."

After pondering silently for a long time, the Supreme Pure Dao Venerable finally let out a soft sigh and closed his eyes again.

Regardless of what happened outside, let's just talk about Zhou Hao putting down all his magical treasures and entering the Eight Trigram Purple Gold Furnace alone.

Then I found myself in what seemed to be a boundless and strange world.

In this world, there is no distinction between east, west, south, and north; all around is a vast, primordial chaos, with only a brightly lit, shimmering lake floating in the center.

"Is this the elixir that Senior Brother mentioned?" Zhou Hao's heart stirred, and he immediately flew towards the lake.

As he got closer, he discovered that the lake of elixir was the color of mutton fat jade, with a faint fragrance that made his mouth water and his mind and soul feel refreshed.

Even without using the Visualization Technique, the soul that had been destroyed and damaged by the Green Eyebrow Needle was rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wow~~~

As Zhou Hao rushed into the lake of elixir, a massive amount of vital energy immediately seeped into his body through countless pores all over his body.

There was no need to swallow any food; simply immersing his body in the elixir gave him the illusion of consuming Nine-Revolution Golden Pill Elixir.

"Eight-Nine Arcane Art"

Zhou Hao immediately began to circulate the profound energy technique.

"Rumble~~~"

The rapid transformation of his bones and muscles caused his body to emit continuous booming sounds.

In the blink of an eye, he had mastered the fourth stage of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.

"Continue!" Zhou Hao remained unmoved, his incredibly pure Yuan Qi transforming into streams of energy that frantically poured into his body.

A moment later.

The fifth stage of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art was also completed in one go.

At that moment, three sparks suddenly fell into the lake of elixir.

Splash~~~

Instantly, the entire world was engulfed in boundless flames, and the lake of elixir that had been submerging him turned a fiery red, as if endless magma was surging.

The vital energy poured into his body was incredibly hot, making Zhou Hao feel as if a raging fire was burning inside him.

"Is this the Samadhi True Fire?" Zhou Hao opened his eyes and looked around.

Amidst the fiery red flames, interspersed with crimson, gold, and cyan flames, enveloping him, not only did his entire body—bones, muscles, skin, and hair—feel as if it were being forged in fire, but even his divine soul within his Mud Pill Palace seemed to be roasted in the flames, as if it had become a physical entity being tempered and refined a thousand times.

The Samadhi True Fire is extremely famous in the Three Realms. It is not the true fire of Solar True Fire. Rather, it is a special true fire generated by cultivators who refine their essence, qi, and spirit into Samadhi and cultivate the essence of separation.

Compared to the raging and explosive Solar True Fire, the True Samadhi True Fire is easier to control because it is cultivated by the cultivator himself. Therefore, it is most suitable for alchemy and weapon crafting. It is also more effective in tempering the divine body and enhancing the transformation effect of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.

Furthermore, with the addition of the elixir containing endless vitality and a massive amount of pure primordial energy, Zhou Hao's divine body was also soaring, becoming increasingly resilient, and undergoing some deeper changes that he was unaware of for the time being.

It is unknown how much time has passed, but just as the sixth stage of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art was about to be completed.

Zhou Hao heard a loud 'bang' and saw a ball of black and white lightning appear in the primordial world and suddenly explode.

As countless chaotic energies surged endlessly, they formed countless black and white vortexes of varying sizes, resembling Tai Chi, or perhaps the boundless universe, with black and white flowing ceaselessly.

These vortices range in size from as small as a palm to as large as immeasurable ones. They rub and roll against each other, boiling and colliding in ways that defy description and seem to embody the Dao.

"This is..." Zhou Hao stared at the strange scene before him, which was escalating and seemed to turn the whole world into a mess, and felt countless flashes of inspiration rise in his mind.

" From the Wuji Begets Taiji, from the ultimate comes the two polarities."

"The two polarities transform into the four symbols, and the four symbols evolve into the eight trigrams."

"The Eight Trigrams establish the Nine Palaces, and everything returns to the Ten Directions."

A majestic voice that enveloped the world resounded.

The black and white vortex in Zhou Hao's eyes gradually became clearer, with black and white distinguishing yin and yang. White turned into pure qi and rose, while black turned into turbid qi and descended.

Between the clear and turbid air, flames suddenly ignited, followed by a torrent of turbid water surging forth from the raging fire, along with rolling yellow dust and howling hurricanes sweeping by—it was all a manifestation of earth, water, fire, and wind arising out of thin air.

Then the earth and water evolved into rivers and streams, fire and wind stirred up countless bolts of lightning, and the sun, moon and stars gradually took shape, establishing the Nine Palaces and Twenty-Eight Mansions in the sky according to the eight trigrams...

"This is... this is the beginning of creation!" Zhou Hao murmured.

Inspired by this, the memories imprinted deep within his soul from when his master bestowed the teachings upon him resurfaced. Countless great and minor paths, whether he had fully comprehended and mastered them or had only barely touched upon them, caused his Dao realm to soar rapidly in the face of this unparalleled mystery of creation, much like the transformation and tempering of his divine body before.

"Junior brother, although I cannot fully demonstrate the supreme mystery of Pangu's creation of the world, I can still give you a general understanding of the profound mystery of chaos evolving from Wuji to Taiji."

How much you ultimately understand depends on your comprehension.

He's the eldest brother.

Zhou Hao's heart stirred slightly, and he then immersed himself in the mysteries of countless Daos, falling into the deepest state of enlightenment.

The Heavenly Realm, the Eastern Victory Divine Continent.

Wushan Gorge, the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.

One after another, beautiful young women dressed in light pink silk robes carried crystal fruit platters, bringing dishes of fine wines, rare fruits, and delicacies into the palace.

Celestial music filled the palace as celestial maidens danced gracefully.

Those who didn't know better would just think it was some celestial abode or a royal banquet, where guests were being entertained.

But if you see two rows of people sitting in the hall, either withered and gloomy Ghost Mother or ugly Asura evil gods, and some tables even have freshly killed dragon livers and phoenix marrow, the timid might be scared to death on the spot.

Of course, not everyone in the hall was a terrifying-looking person.

The master of the palace, ' Hundred Desires Celestial God,' who sat at the head of the palace, was dressed in a pure white Daoist robe, and his hair was tied with silk thread. He looked elegant and extraordinary, like a jade tree standing in the wind.

He looked quite young, not even thirty, and no one could imagine him as the powerful old devil who ruled the region.

However, as the Hundred Desires Celestial God's eyes darted around, flashes of blood-red light occasionally appeared, revealing a hint of eeriness.

Beside him sat a beautiful woman dressed in a thin, sheer gauze, with bare, rounded feet and skin as smooth as jade.

Her light veil barely covered her body, leaving it partially obscured, revealing a variety of alluring features.

Especially with every smile and frown, her eyes sparkled, causing the blood of the Asuras sitting below to surge uncontrollably.

However, this woman was the Great Asura ' White Wondrous Demoness ', who not only possessed the strength of Pure Yang True Immortal, but also had a distinguished status. She was the daughter of Zizaitian ' Dao Ancestor Bo Xun ', the leader of the four great demon kings of the Asura Demon Cult, and one of the seventy-two princesses of the Asura clan.

Even though these Asuras possessed the strength of true immortals and gods, and were used to running rampant in the Heavenly Realm, indulging in both meat and vegetables without restraint, they dared not be too presumptuous in front of their own clan's noble princess.

certainly.

The so-called "not daring to be presumptuous" is nothing more than not daring to directly take action and do those despicable things.

Their eyes were fixed on her exquisite, water-like skin, barely concealed by the thin veil, completely disregarding the fact that her husband, the Hundred Desires Celestial God, was right beside her.

The White Wondrous Demoness is skilled in the art of dual cultivation, and has many lovers in the Three Realms. Her beauty is widely known. She is said to be married to the Hundred Desires Celestial God of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, but in reality, they are just lovers, each taking what they need.

Besides, the Hundred Desires Celestial God is no saint either.

Originally, he was just an ordinary Earth Immortal of the Void Return from the Heavenly Realm. Relying on his handsome appearance and bedroom skills, he caught the eye of the White Wondrous Demoness and was introduced to become a disciple of the Desire-Colored Heaven ' Dao Ancestor Boyu ', one of the four great demon kings of the Asura Demon Cult. After obtaining a superior Asura Demon Cult Sect, he actually cultivated supernatural powers, survived the Heavenly Tribulation, and thus became a regional overlord. Together with the White Wondrous Demoness, he was the unseen leader of all the Asura Demon Sects in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent.

"Brother, you spend most of your time in the Saha Heaven, rarely venturing into the Heavenly Realm. Today, your presence at the Ten Thousand Demon Palace is truly a great honor..." The Hundred Desires Celestial God raised his wine cup and smiled at the imposing man sitting opposite him, "I toast to you, brother."

"Yes." The White Wondrous Demoness also reached out her slender hand to pick up a wine cup and said with a charming smile, "Senior Brother has always been distant from his younger sister, and rarely visits Father's Free Heaven. This time, he must stay for a few more days so that his younger sister can get to know him better."

Looking at the burly, majestic man who was so different from the ugly-faced Shura men of the common race, she longed to immediately throw herself into his arms and make love to him.

However, since the other party was Indra, the leader of the Four Demon Generals, and the beloved disciple of the sect leader Patriarch Styx, his status was only slightly lower than that of his father, and his strength was that of a top-tier True Immortal God, he dared not treat him as he usually did when he took a fancy to someone, directly seizing him and wantonly absorbing his essence.

"Sister Miao'er is joking." Indra looked at the giggling White Wondrous Demoness and felt annoyed.

While the pleasures of lust are wonderful, not everyone loves them, especially not a witch of extreme lust.

But thinking of the important things he was planning, he still refrained from raising his glass with the two 'husband and wife'.

"Speaking of which, I have a favor to ask of Brother Hundred Desires and Sister Miao'er," Indra said, setting down his wine cup.

"I was able to establish myself in the Dao Sect and the Heavenly Court's strongholds thanks to the support of my brothers in the ancestral lands of our sects," said the Hundred Desires Celestial God a smile. "Brothers, just give the order if you need anything. As long as I can do it, I will do it without hesitation."

The reason he was able to rise from an ordinary human to where he is today is not only because of his own considerable strength, but also because of his exceptional social skills and ability to make connections.

"In that case, thank you in advance, Brother Hundred Desires." Indra nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Back then, I had a feud with a human True Immortal from the Heavenly Realm in an overseas land over a set of innate spiritual treasures. Later, that human True Immortal feared me and moved his entire sect to the Great Xia World, seeking refuge with the Xia Mang Clan, a collateral branch of the human royal family."

"The Xia Mang Clan has the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor behind them, and Xia Mangyun is also a sworn brother of the Dao Ancestor Yinglong. I dare not rashly kill them. I can only ask the Fourth Ancestor, Dao Ancestor Luya, to curse them to death with the ' Nailhead Seven Arrows Book '. However, that curse technique has many hidden dangers, especially in ruining one's fortune. Therefore, I have been hiding in the sect leader's Saha Heaven World ever since, and dare not come out easily."

"No wonder we've rarely seen you, Senior Brother. So that's why." The White Wondrous Demoness suddenly realized. "Now that you've already cursed that True Immortal to death, is there anything else you need our help with?"

"Junior sister, you may not know this, but although the Human True Immortal is dead, his sect still exists, and I still haven't obtained the spiritual treasure I desire. They are using that spiritual treasure to reside within the Great Xia World, creating a small world to lie low and secretly accumulate strength," Indra explained.

"Since the rest were just some minor Celestial beings, I didn't pay them any attention. I simply sent some clansmen to harass them, preventing them from developing peacefully, and also to investigate their backgrounds."

"Later, once the hidden danger of using the curse-killing secret technique had passed, I wanted to completely eliminate this hidden danger and reclaim the missing spiritual treasure. Therefore, I asked my master for a branch of the sacred tree and used the technique of reincarnation to send the branch of the sacred tree into that small world. My intention was to use this to open a world passage with the Saha Heaven. However, I never expected that my junior brother, a member of the True Immortal's clan, had secretly achieved the Pure Yang True Immortal realm. In that spiritual treasure world, my reincarnated clone was far from being a match for him, which led to my plan failing and the loss of the sacred tree branch."

"What?"

The Hundred Desires Celestial God and the White Wondrous Demoness exclaimed in surprise.

The White Wondrous Demoness glanced at her subordinates below the hall and shouted, "I have important matters to discuss with the Great Demon General. You may all leave."

Once she straightened her expression, she resembled a Heavenly Realm saintess, awe-inspiring and unapproachable. Coupled with her status as the recognized princess of the Asura clan, she naturally possessed a certain majesty.

"Yes." The three Asuras and one Netherworld Ghost Mother below responded, along with the young maiden serving them and the flying fairy who was singing and dancing energetically, all of whom withdrew from the main hall.

"Senior brother," the White Wondrous Demoness asked eagerly, her heart burning with excitement, "Where are the branches and leaves of that sacred tree now?"

Although they were protected by magic from speaking to each other, the matter was of great importance, and they still did not want any outsiders present.

As for the Hundred Desires Celestial God, everything he possesses comes from himself, so he is not afraid of his secrets being revealed.

"The branches and leaves of the Sacred Tree are currently in the hands of the sect left behind by the True Immortal in the Great Xia World."

Indra's expression was grave as he solemnly rambled on, "This sacred tree is a spiritual root of heaven and earth, born after the creation of the world. After the sect leader obtained it, he nurtured it with his own blood river. Although its fame in the outside world is not significant, its effects are far more precious to our Asura race than any Ginseng Fruit Tree, peach tree, or yellow plum tree. Not even a single branch or leaf can fall into the hands of other races."

"I went to ask my master for help, but he said it was my fault and I had to resolve it myself. However, Dongfang Mu Yang and the disciples of the Mysterious Heaven Sect have been hiding in the Great Xia World, so I have no other choice."

"Fortunately, I have already discovered that Dongfang Mu Yang has recently allied with the Heavenly Court Celestial Master Sa, sending many disciples and followers to the Heavenly Realm to take up positions in the Heavenly Court. He has also opened a mountain gate at Floating Jade Mountain Cliff Against the Wall Mountain in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, presumably to leave himself a way out during the turmoil in the Three Realms..."

Eastern Victory Divine Continent Floating Jade Mountain?

The Hundred Desires Celestial God was startled; that was the Vast Wilderness Mountain Range area.

"What does Senior Brother mean?" the White Wondrous Demoness asked thoughtfully.

"Among the Divine Sects in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, the most powerful are the Ten Thousand Demon Palace of the Hundred Desires Brothers and Sister Miao'er," Indra said with a smile. "As long as you take action against their disciples who are bringing them to the Heavenly Realm, Dongfang Mu Yang will certainly not stand idly by."

"Given the recent turmoil in the Great Xia World, the Xia Mang Clan is preoccupied with its own problems and cannot afford to concern itself with others. With our combined strength, we should have no trouble annihilating the Mysterious Heaven Sect."

"After this is done, I will only take the missing innate spiritual treasure; the other treasures, including the branches and leaves of the Saha Sacred Tree, will belong to you two."

Indra stared intently at the White Wondrous Demoness and the Hundred Desires Celestial God.

"What do you two think?"

I didn't finish writing yesterday; I only managed to write this during my lunch break. I'm running out of time, I'll continue this afternoon.

It's the last two days of the month, and for those of you who still have monthly passes... Suifeng asking for a vote.

If I can get a thousand votes, I'll be happy to participate in a prize draw next month.

Please, my friends!
