After returning to the Human Race Dao Palace, Qing Xuanzi discovered the source of the Human Race's problem.

Thousands of newborn babies had suddenly disappeared from the Human Race.

They were neither seen alive nor found dead.

However, this was the Primordial Era, where matters were often resolved with a simple calculation.

After performing a calculation, Qing Xuanzi cursed again, "What the hell? A Soul Summoning Banner? How dare someone refine such a malicious artifact among the Human Race? This is seeking death!"

Qing Xuanzi was seething with anger. Someone had actually walked right into his trap.

He grabbed the main culprit, threw him to the ground, and sternly demanded, "Do you not know what death is?"

The bewildered culprit looked up, his soul nearly scared out of him.

This appearance was too familiar. It was seen everywhere in the Human Race. Anyone on the street could tell him who this was.

"Worthy Teacher above, this disciple does not know why he has offended the Worthy Teacher. I beg the Worthy Teacher for forgiveness."

"Did you refine this?" Qing Xuanzi threw the Soul Summoning Banner to the ground.

"Ah, Worthy Teacher, this disciple knows his mistake, knows his mistake. Worthy Teacher, spare my life!"

Qing Xuanzi kicked him, "You know your mistake? That's the Human Race, the Human Race, and newborn infants! How could you do such a thing, ah, you beast!"

If Qing Xuanzi didn't have questions for him, he would have kicked him to death on the spot.

He could see at a glance that a restriction had been placed on this person's soul, and it was a very clever restriction.

Without knowing the method, a forced soul search would be useless.

Not only would he not get any useful information, but the person whose soul was searched would likely become an idiot, if not die.

"Speak, how did you obtain the method for refining the Soul Summoning Banner?"

"Worthy Teacher, this disciple is a follower of the Moon Worship Sect. This method was taught to me when I joined the sect."

Moon Worship Sect, Qing Xuanzi almost shouted out loud.

What the hell? Wasn't this the sect from the game he loved to play in his previous life: Immortal Sword?

Damn it, how could it appear here?

He performed another calculation, but there was no information. How could there be no information? Was his Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal status fake?

"What is the Sect Leader's name? Who else do you know among the followers?"

"Worthy Teacher, this disciple does not know. Thirty years ago, this disciple suddenly received a Sect Talisman from the Moon Worship Sect and inexplicably joined the Moon Worship Sect."

"The Soul Summoning Banner is originally a righteous method for summoning souls, yet you have harmed innocent infants. Do you know your sin?" Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Qing Xuanzi decided to just kill him.

"This disciple knows his sin, Worthy Teacher, spare my life."

"You have harmed a total of nine thousand eight hundred and thirty-five people. When Reincarnation appears, you will be punished to be a cow or a horse for nine thousand eight hundred and thirty-five lifetimes to repay your debt. Now you can die."

As soon as Qing Xuanzi finished speaking, the main culprit lost his life, and his body turned to ashes.

Qing Xuanzi picked up the Soul Summoning Banner and wiped it.

A stream of clear energy flowed into it, and in an instant, the infants who had been refined into the Soul Summoning Banner were freed from their suffering.

One by one, they smiled at Qing Xuanzi.

Looking at those pure smiles, Qing Xuanzi had the urge to revive that fellow and kill him again.

But no matter how many times he killed him, it wouldn't change what had already happened.

"Alas, so be it. Since you have suffered such a great calamity in this life, when Reincarnation appears, I shall bestow upon you Immortal Opportunity as compensation."

With that, he put away the Soul Summoning Banner and placed it in the Three Lights Divine Water within his Primordial Spirit to nurture.

After being nurtured for a long time, the souls of these infants would be much stronger in the future.

Qing Xuanzi thought of going to ask Nüwa, so he came to Nüwa Palace.

"Junior Brother Qing Xuanzi, you busy person, what brings you here?"

"Senior Sister Nüwa is joking. I came to ask if Senior Sister has heard of the Moon Worship Sect?"

"Yes, why? What are you asking about this for?"

Qing Xuanzi hadn't held out much hope, only thinking of coming to discuss it.

Unexpectedly, there was a surprise, so he recounted the matter of the Soul Summoning Banner.

"Since this matter cannot be calculated, there must be a Saint involved," Nüwa's words were very clear.

"Hmm, but perhaps it's not a Saint."

Nüwa knew that Qing Xuanzi was referring to the Heavenly Dao, so she continued, "The Moon Worship Sect was born during the Dao-Demon calamity. The Sect Leader is the famous Goddess Wangshu, but I don't think she would pass down such a sinister method. Someone must be secretly using this name to cause trouble."

"Goddess Wangshu, isn't she the Mother of the Stars? How could she be the Sect Leader of the Moon Worship Sect?" Qing Xuanzi was a little confused.

"Yes, she is the Mother of the Stars. The starry sky is primarily dominated by the Sun and Moon. She is of the Taiyin body, and her eldest disciple Xihe resides on the Taiyin Star, hence it is called the Moon Worship Sect."

"Why is there no trace of Goddess Wangshu now?"

Nüwa shook her head and said, "This is a mystery in the Primordial Era. After the Dao-Demon conflict, Goddess Wangshu mysteriously disappeared, and her whereabouts are still unknown. Even the Heavenly Dao's trajectory only goes back to before the Dao-Demon conflict."

"Teacher once speculated that either Goddess Wangshu attained the Great Dao and leaped out of the river of time, or she fell into an unknown place that can isolate the perception of time."

Nüwa spoke everything she knew in one breath.

"Alas, so there are no clues. Forget it, never mind. Senior Sister Nüwa, how is the matter of the Demon Refining Pot?"

"Hmm, your method is very useful. It has already been separated. What's missing now is the Star Lord Banner. I'm afraid you'll have to ask your Senior Brother Yuanshi for this. In the current Primordial Era, I estimate only he can do it."

The Stars All Over The Heavens Formation originally didn't have a Star Lord Banner; it was entirely cast by the Demon Clan Star Officials.

Qing Xuanzi felt that this made it too dependent, so he obtained the formation diagram from Fuxi through Nüwa.

After pondering it, he devised this enhanced version of the Stars All Over The Heavens Formation.

The function of the Star Lord Banner is to store spiritual energy and be controlled by the main formation caster, in order to set up the great formation.

Of course, this was Qing Xuanzi's backup plan, as the effect of using Star Officials was better than this.

He was preparing for it, in case something went wrong somewhere, he would have a substitute.

"Alright, I'll talk to Senior Brother Yuanshi about this."

"Wait, speaking of which, one of Yuanshi's disciples is also connected to the Moon Worship Sect you just mentioned."

"Who?"

"Cihang Daoist."

Hearing this name reminded him of the future Guanyin.

Qing Xuanzi used this to calculate, and it turned out that Cihang Daoist also originated from the starry sky.

She was a lotus seed that fell from the World Cleansing White Lotus, absorbing starlight day and night, and developed sentience.

Only after transforming did she become Cihang Daoist.

This is why Nüwa said she was related to the Moon Worship Sect.

It was because she originated from the starry sky.

Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.

"Cihang, go outside the mountain gate and welcome your Uncle Qing Xuanzi." Yuanshi, who was lecturing to his disciples, suddenly stopped and instructed.

"This disciple obeys." Although Cihang Daoist was puzzled why she was asked to welcome him, she didn't dare to ask. In any case, obeying her master's command was never wrong.

As soon as Cihang arrived outside the mountain gate, she saw a Daoist in green robes, surrounded by swirling clouds, approaching from afar.

"Disciple Cihang, greets Martial Uncle." As soon as Qing Xuanzi saw that Yuanshi had sent Cihang to wait here, he knew that Yuanshi was already aware of the matter.

He then asked, "Let me ask you, do you know about the Moon Worship Sect?"

Cihang didn't know why, but Qing Xuanzi's calm tone contained a strong killing intent.

It made her tremble with fear.
