Chapter 510: The Five Decays of the Heavenly Human

"Houzi, the demonic Qi here at the bottom of the Beiming is getting heavier and heavier; I can barely stand it anymore."

Bajie could not help but say, hugging his arms and shivering incessantly.

One must know that he is the reincarnation of Fleet Admiral Tianpeng and the controller of the Heavenly River; in terms of aquatic ability, no one present could compare to him except Xiaobailong.

Yet even someone like him felt the Beiming becoming increasingly eerie and terrifying.

"It's a good thing I cultivated Master's Moral Tendon, otherwise even my Dragon Clan body wouldn't be able to hold up," Xiaobailong said.

"Heixiong, what about you?" Sun Wukong asked.

"My Skin is thick and my Flesh is sturdy, and my fur is thick, so it's no big deal, no big deal," Heixiong said carelessly, but one could clearly see his bear face twitching non-stop.

As for Baigu Furen, because her true form is white bone, she has an innate Yin-Sha constitution, so she was doing alright.

Sun Wukong has the Water-Avoiding Spell, but he also felt his Primordial Spirit growing cold; if he stayed here for a long time, he feared his cultivation would be damaged.

"Why don't we go back? Let's not end up dying here before we've even found the Essence of Beiming," Bajie said.

"We have already reached this point; if we give up halfway, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?" Sun Wukong said.

"Then be careful; haven't you noticed that there are fewer and fewer members of the Demon Race around us, yet the pressure of the demonic Qi is getting heavier?" Baigu Furen said.

In the vicinity of powerful beings, there generally aren't any low-level creatures, especially in a place like the bottom of the Beiming where the strong prey on the weak.

"Indeed, this pressure is truly powerful; I, Old Sun, have never encountered it before," Sun Wukong said.

"Perhaps there is no such thing as the Essence of Beiming here at all; it was all Shen Gongbao talking nonsense, and we've all been duped," Zhu Bajie complained.

"It exists; I have heard of the secret," Baigu Furen said.

"Big Brother, there is light over there!"

Suddenly, Xiaobailong pointed in one direction, where a white halo of light was flickering.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong, Bajie, and Baigu Furen quickly headed over.

When they reached their destination, they saw an ancient circular altar standing there, along with a few lonely pillars, but the altar was extremely dilapidated and had likely existed for who knows how many years.

Even the secret scripts on the stone walls surrounding the altar were unrecognizable to everyone.

In the central area of the circular altar, within that empty Void, dozens of water-drop-shaped liquids were suspended, and even from far away, one could feel the vigorous spiritual energy within them.

"The Essence of Beiming!" Baigu Furen's eyes flickered, her face revealing joy.

It truly was effortless to find; with this Essence of Beiming, perhaps she could use this power to advance to the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal and break through the shackles of the Heavenly Dao.

As a reincarnation of a Demon God's thought, Baigu Furen could have advanced to Great Luo Golden Immortal long ago, but she had always been bound by the Heavenly Dao and found it difficult to break through.

Although a Golden Immortal is Undying and enjoys eternal life.

Yet below the Great Luo, all are ants, and one day they will eventually fade away and turn to dust.

Because all gods and immortals below the Great Luo will encounter the Five Decays of the Heavenly Human; the Five Decays of the Heavenly Human are extremely terrifying, and no god, Buddha, or demon can escape them. Under the power of the Five Decays of the Heavenly Human, their Dao marks are eventually worn away, and their souls scatter?

However, there are ways to avoid the Five Decays of the Heavenly Human; the Golden Core of the Profound Gate, the Flat Peach of the Heavenly Court, and the sarira of Buddhism can all avoid the Five Decays of the Heavenly Human, but in the end, it is only temporary; only the Great Luo can control their own destiny.

"This is the Essence of Beiming; what a great treasure."

Sun Wukong opened his Fiery Eyes and Golden Gaze, unable to contain his joy; with this, could he become a Great Luo Golden Immortal like his master?

"So it really does exist; it seems that I, Fleet Admiral Tianpeng, also have a chance to achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal in this lifetime," Bajie revealed a trace of greed.

In front of such a treasure, what god or demon wouldn't go crazy?

"What are you still standing there for? Grab it!" Bajie said.

Sun Wukong and Baigu Furen came to their senses and hurriedly moved to take the Essence of Beiming from the altar.

But at a distance of about three feet, they were bounced away by an invisible force.

Bang!

Sun Wukong, Baigu Furen, and Zhu Bajie were all shaken, retreating incessantly.

"There is a barrier," Baigu Furen said, her face immediately showing vigilance.

"How could there be a barrier?"

Bajie said, feeling somewhat anxious; this was likely the feeling of having the Flesh right before one's eyes but being unable to eat it no matter what.

"Having a barrier means it is an object with an owner; being able to repel us, I fear the owner of this place has a cultivation of at least Great Luo Golden Immortal. Run!" Baigu Furen said, a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.

But just at this moment, light flowed, and a black shadow slowly appeared in front of the Essence of Beiming.

This was a youth wearing gray Taoist robes; although he looked young, he gave people a feeling of being very weathered and ancient.

Especially the faint pressure radiating from his body, which actually made Xiaobailong, with his Dragon Clan bloodline, feel fear.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, outsiders could still enter the land of Beiming," the youth said.

"Who are you?" Sun Wukong asked.

He stared fixedly at the youth, and a feeling of extreme threat surged from within his bloodline.

"Houzi, in front of this Old Ancestor, hehe..."

The youth smiled and said pretentiously:

"Countless years ago, Houzi, you were still just a piece of stone.

I was once one of the three thousand Red Dust Guests in that Purple Heaven Palace; I once discussed the Dao with the Dao Ancestor, watched the collapse of Buzhou Mountain, and also witnessed Nuwa mending the sky and the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation.

A long time ago, the Demon Race of the world called this seat the Demon Master."

"Demon Master?" Sun Wukong.

"It sounds familiar; I feel like I've heard it somewhere before," Bajie fell into thought.

"Demon Master, Kunpeng," Baigu Furen said word by word, her face pale; she had not expected to encounter such a Great Ability.

Rumors from the outside world said that during the Witch-Demon War, didn't Kunpeng die in battle? How is he still alive?

Observing his realm, I fear he has already cultivated to the extreme among the Great Luo Golden Immortals.

"Demon Master, I remember now," Bajie slapped his forehead and said in horror.

"Bajie, who is it?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Stop asking, that is a Great Ability even more terrifying than a Great Luo Golden Immortal," Bajie said.

"Demon Master Ancestor, we are just passing through this place and do not wish to disturb you; please let us go."

Bajie knelt and begged directly, completely disregarding his dignity and face.

Besides, kneeling to an existence of this level is not shameful at all.

"You pig demon are quite slick; this seat can spare your life," Kunpeng said.

"If you are all willing to kneel and admit your wrongs, I, the Ancestor, can let you go."

Kunpeng looked at Sun Wukong with great interest, a playful expression appearing on his face.

"Hmph, you monster, you are not worthy of making me, Old Sun, kneel. I, Old Sun, only kneel to heaven and earth and my master; who do you think you are? If you have the ability, then kill me, Old Sun," Sun Wukong said fiercely.

"Houzi, stop showing off; even if Master came, he probably couldn't beat him," Bajie pulled on Sun Wukong's palm, attempting to make him kneel.

"As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood."

"Stop showing off, Houzi!"

"Bajie, don't try to persuade me; if I kneel, I am no longer the Great Sage Equaling Heaven," Sun Wukong shook off Bajie and took out the Golden Cudgel.

"Demon Master Ancestor, this monkey is young and ignorant; please do not blame him!"
