Primordial Spirit Patriarch

It's like standing on the edge of an abyss, like walking on thin ice.

With just one glance, Chen Nianzhi felt her scalp tingle, as if she were about to sink into a bottomless abyss.

Jiang Linglong was stunned. After hesitating for a few moments, she suddenly exclaimed in shock, "Senior Uncle Qingxu!"

It's me.

The being in the center of the hall spoke. He was clad in a black robe, and his tall and imposing figure looked exceptionally majestic and Bu Fan.

In that instant, Chen Nianzhi understood the man's identity, but a chill ran through her heart.

There are probably only a handful of people in the Purple Yin Realm who can be addressed as "Master Uncle" by Jiang Linglong, and the person in front of her is known as Qingxu, which can only be the once world-renowned Azure Ruins Dao Lord.

What he didn't expect was that after the Abyssal Demon Calamity Azure Ruins Dao Lord had not perished, but had unknowingly fallen into the Demonic Path, which he found hard to believe.

Jiang Linglong couldn't believe it either, her face filled with shock as she said, "Senior Uncle, how could you have fallen into demonic possession...?"

Azure Ruins Dao Lord fell silent. He stood there quietly for a moment before speaking, "A cultivator's life is about resisting fate and seeking a way to transcend the mortal world."

"However, sometimes, even we Nascent Primordial Spirit Dao Lord find it difficult to control our own destiny."

"I was like an ant falling into the Long River; even if I struggled with all my might, I could not change my fate under the sweeping current."

The crown on Azure Ruins Dao Lord's head obscured his face, making it impossible to see the turmoil and expression behind him, but an incomparably desolate aura permeated the heavens and earth.

He suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh and said calmly.

"There are some things I have no choice in."

As Chen Nianzhi gazed at that noble and unparalleled figure, her heart sank even further.

He took a deep breath and finally couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what exactly happened back then?"

"What happened back then."

Azure Ruins Dao Lord shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "During the Abyssal Demon Calamity, our Emperor Jiang lineage was a thorn in the side of a certain Demon God from beyond the realm."

"My senior brother and I were besieged by Outer Realm Demons. Later, an Outer Realm Demon God attacked from across an endless void, and our souls were corrupted by the Demonic Path Principle of the Outer Realm Demon God."

As Azure Ruins Dao Lord recounted the story, the two finally understood what had happened back then.

In that battle, both Azure Ruins Dao Lord and Purple Firmament Dao Lord were attacked by Outer Realm Demons. Purple Firmament Dao Lord died fiercely on the spot, while Azure Ruins Dao Lord barely managed to fight his way out.

Only when he realized what was happening did he discover that his Life Soul had been corrupted by the Principle Demonic Path cultivation, and even his powerful Primordial Spirit, formed by the fusion of his three souls, could not resist it.

The reason he fell into the Godfall Ridge in recent years is because the Demonic Path Principle have been constantly eroding his Life Soul, trying to completely control his will.

"I am now able to barely retain some of my will by relying on the barrier of the Purple Yin Realm and the means by which I resist the erosion of my soul by the Outer Realm Demon God."

"However, over the years I have lost many memories and have had to expend increasingly more power to fight against the Principle Demonic Path cultivation, so the time I can remain conscious is becoming less and less."

As Azure Ruins Dao Lord finished speaking, his gaze turned solemn as he said, "Once the Abyssal Demon Calamity begins, a crack will be torn open in the heavens and earth."

"Then the will of the Outer Realm Demon God will be able to seep into this world, and I will find it difficult to escape the fate of having my Life Soul completely controlled."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong exchanged a glance, feeling a chill run down their spines.

The next Abyssal Demon Calamity will occur in 150 years; in such a short time, they are powerless to change anything.

Jiang Linglong's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is there really no way to resolve this?"

"The methods of Demon God, even if they are used casually, are not so easily countered."

Azure Ruins Dao Lord shook his head, seemingly accepting the outcome with a degree of composure.

He stood there quietly, glanced at Chen Nianzhi, and then suddenly spoke, "If you cultivate the Heavenly Fire Law Power and can cultivate Pure Yang Heavenly Fire, perhaps you have some chance to suppress the Demonic Path Principle on my Life Soul."

"But by then, it will be too late."

Chen Nianzhi remained silent. The Pure Yang Heavenly Fire was a supreme immortal fire, and once cultivated, it would be enough to ascend to immortality. However, this would probably take at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of years.

Jiang Linglong felt a tightness in her chest. This was probably the last time they would have a normal conversation. If they met again, they might become mortal enemies.

She took a deep breath, her pupils slightly red, and asked, "Did Master Uncle summon us this time to give us some instructions?"

"Um."

Azure Ruins Dao Lord stood with his hands behind his back, looking behind the screen, and said, "Qing'er, come out."

As he spoke, a stunningly beautiful woman stepped out from the side and walked in front of the crowd.

"Qing Ji!"

The moment she saw the person who had arrived, Jiang Linglong's face lit up with ecstatic joy.

She was both delighted and alarmed. Back then, to cover for her, Qing Ji had disappeared and retreated to the Eastern Wilderness in her name. It could be said that Qing Ji had taken the risk for her.

Later, Qing Ji disappeared, and the Soul Lamp was completely extinguished. Jiang Linglong thought that Qing Ji had perished many years ago, but she never expected to see her again now.

However, compared to Jiang Linglong's expression, Qing Ji's eyes remained calm. She simply stood there quietly, watching the two of them as if she were a stranger.

She doesn't recognize you anymore.

Azure Ruins Dao Lord spoke, a hint of pain appearing in his eyes. "Back then, her soul was corrupted by Demon Baleful Intent energy. In order to resist the erosion of the Demon Baleful Intent energy and to avoid falling into the Demonic Path, she cultivated the ' Red Dust Dream Butterfly Method '."

"The Red Dust Dream Butterfly Method?"

Chen Nianzhi's expression suddenly changed; he also had some understanding of this ' Red Dust Dream Butterfly Method '.

This method is a supreme immortal Immortal Method passed down from the Immortal Realm. It is said that after cultivating it, the cultivator's soul can sink into the illusory world of mortals to Bandit Cultivator, and attain the Great Dao in the dream world.

However, this method is also extremely dangerous. Without extremely high concentration and a strong Dao heart, one may very well become trapped in the illusion and never be able to wake up.

Qing Ji cultivated the Red Dust Dream Butterfly Method, pouring all her will into it. Her physical body then lost Six Desires, with only an absolutely rational will controlling her.

So even when she was being eroded by Demon Baleful Intent power, she remained unmoved, like someone who was born without feelings or desires.

Seeing that Chen Nianzhi understood the Six Desires Method, the Azure Ruins Dao Lord said, "Surrounded by butterflies, butterflies dreaming of Zhouzhuang, this Red Dust Dream Butterfly Method, one year of cultivation is equivalent to living a lifetime in a dream."

"This method has three thresholds: one hundred years, one thousand years, and three thousand years."

"It is said that if an ordinary person Dream-Reincarnation, they have a sliver of hope of becoming an immortal; if they reincarnate a thousand times, then they can be considered to have the appearance of an immortal lord."

"If someone can accumulate the Dao Fruit of three thousand lifetimes and awaken, then upon awakening, they can wield the Principle of heaven and earth and ascend to immortality."
