Chapter 762: Eye to Eye, the Opportunity to Open the Door, Containing the Mystery of the Old Heaven Sun and Moon

The old woman from the Guanghan Palace was indeed crazy!

She was running wildly while holding dozens of pieces of Taiyin Silver Soul utensils, disheveled, holding the things in her arms tightly, but with a nervous face, looking left and right, as if afraid that someone would come to rob her, but she turned a blind eye to others, only treating those young cultivators as air.

"It's coming, it's coming... No, it's not coming, it's not coming... There's a dog barking... Ah!"

She screamed, holding the pile of things and sitting down in the bone pile.

Seeing the old woman's loss of composure, a demon head of the Demon Path approached quietly, silently, and the demon-consciousness operated various subtle perceptions of eye, ear, nose, tongue, and body, transforming into a yin demon, falling toward her divine soul.

Any qualified Demon Sect disciple would not miss the opportunity to refine a cultivator who had lost their Dao heart into a demon head.

Because there was the observation of the North Pole Great Bright Palace cultivators, the Demon Path disciples could only make a move in secret, performing invisible and formless yin demon methods.

The relationship between the Guanghan Palace and the Great Bright Palace was extremely subtle, just like an ex-husband and ex-wife who had been divorced for a long time. Sometimes they wished the other would die, and sometimes they took care of each other.

But the various yin demons just touched the old woman, and her divine soul was transformed into a bright moon, illuminating tens of thousands of miles around. The Taiyin Silver Soul utensils scattered among the dense skeletons reflected the shining brilliance, and the yin demons entangled toward the old woman were like thin black threads, which dissipated as soon as they were illuminated by the moonlight.

That Demon Path disciple didn't even make a sound before being thoroughly refined by the moonlight, instantly transforming into a wisp of green smoke.

"She is actually a Yang Spirit?" The old dragon felt his heart tighten. This person's cultivation was not inferior to his own, and she was a top-tier figure among the crowd.

Yu Yu Lingxiao also frowned, but only glanced at the heavenly soldier beside him and relaxed: "A dignified Yang Spirit True Person, actually scared crazy? What exactly did she encounter?"

The North Pole Great Bright Palace cultivator scanned the group of demon heads and suddenly snorted coldly. Two waves of fire shot out from his eyes, burning the golden plate in his hand until it was more dazzling, burning the void until it twisted, and the golden flames spread into a sea of fire, with a terrifying momentum.

That solar true fire transformed into fire crows, flying out of the sea of fire in groups, flying toward those Demon Path disciples.

The fire crows circled, wanting to refine these Demon Path disciples into flying ash.

But the hundred or so demon heads of the Demon Path suddenly gathered together, transforming into a huge skull, wrapped in rolling darkness, and swallowed those countless fire crows in one gulp, holding back the redness in its mouth.

Seeing the Great Bright Palace cultivator increase the firepower of the solar true fire by another three points.

The skull suddenly raised its head and made a swallowing action, then opened its mouth wide and let out a long hiccup... finally spitting out a mouthful of black smoke.

The skull cackled weirdly, and opened its mouth to swallow all the gold and silver collected by the Demon Path disciples.

Blood flames and golden fire burned inside the skull, thoroughly melting the solar gold essence and Taiyin silver soul, and through the two eye sockets, everyone saw the golden juice pouring and forming inside, soon refining two suns and moons.

The golden sun was like a ring, but it was a solar corona.

The moonlight, however, appeared blood-colored, and it was a blood wheel...

The Great Bright Palace cultivator's forehead veins jumped, and he shouted sternly: "Old demon, you have great skills, actually splitting your divine sense to hide in these small demon heads of your sect. You are a split divine sense of a Primordial Spirit level, I can't afford to provoke you! But when did you steal my Great Bright Palace's 'Solar Taiyin Zhenhuo Crow Strategy'? In the future, my Great Bright Palace Master will have his own advice."

"You Demon-Consciousness Sect is a Yu Yu Jiuyou true-transmission tradition, do you think my Great Bright Palace has no roots?"

The skull cackled: "The 'Solar Taiyin Zhenhuo Crow Strategy', what kind of garbage is that? Solar true fire is indeed one of the few innate fire seeds in the universe, but its power is infinitely increased in the hands of powerful people. In your hands, does it deserve to be called solar true fire?"

"How many years has your Great Bright Palace not cultivated the 'Solar God-Slaying Light Line'?"

"The 'Solar God-Slaying Strategy' was obtained by you in a small half, and modified into what 'Solar Taiyin Zhenhuo Crow Strategy'? It's really laughable... I think your Great Bright Palace should honestly wait for the next Guanghan Fairy to be born, and be a son-in-law by her side. Maybe you can complete the inheritance and refine the 'Two-Instrument Extinction Divine Light'."

The old demon's eyes swept over the miscellaneous fish on the ground and didn't mention them, but instead focused his

The hundred or so demon sect disciples he was possessing suddenly had their blood-red eyes pop out, forming a vertical eye behind him, resembling a rift in the void.

The vertical eye opened slightly, and within it, a golden, brilliant sun and a blood-colored red moon rotated.

The solar corona of the Sun Essence and the blood-wheel of the Moon Soul were refined into that vertical eye, shooting out a terrifyingly incomparable divine light that shone directly onto the point where ten thousand mountains converged on the stone gate.

The terrifying firepower was more than a hundred times greater than that of the Yang Spirit cultivator from the Great Brightness Palace; the black iron mountain stone, which the crowd had tried to probe in every way only to barely leave white marks, was burned to a glowing red under that scorching white light mixed with crimson divine radiance.

One black mountain after another was focused upon by that divine light, melting into crimson stone liquid, and points of golden light were revealed—these were the Sun Essence mineral veins buried within the mountain bodies.

The cultivators of the Lu family of Southern Jin saw the gold and silver grains melted out by the old demon's divine light and could not help but mutter, "So the Sun Essence and Moon Soul here were all mined from those black mountains!"

In the distance, the Shaoqing true disciple Yan Shu sharply commented, "They didn't wipe it clean!"

"Sun and moon of the Nine Heavens, descend with divine light! True Yang and Demon Yin, the two poles rotate!"

The old demon head shouted sternly, continuously capturing the disciples and demon lords of the Demon Consciousness Sect one by one; even the true disciples who rarely interfered in ordinary matters had to transform into demon eyes, drawing upon the Manas consciousness of the Nine Heavens Demon Zangshan Laozu, using that infinite demon path wisdom to compose that vertical eye supernatural ability.

That vertical eye supernatural ability was formed by contemplating the sun and moon of the Nine Heavens, though it differed in principle from the great sun and bright moon of the Earth Immortal Realm.

But the fundamental principles within were still Taiyin and Taiyang, as well as the path of the Nine Heavens' Demon Yin and True Yang...

Only in its specific form did the Nine Heavens' sun and moon differ; the moon was a solid star like those in the Earth Immortal Realm, merely a blood moon, but the great sun was vastly different—it was a colossal, incomparable chaotic hole floating in the void, spitting out infinite scorching currents, explosive to the extreme, like a flow of divine light poured out when a great sun perishes, resembling the Sun-Slaughtering Divine Light rays.

The Nine Heavens' sun and moon rotate, but once every ten thousand years, the blood moon star and the demon sun chaotic hole overlap, like a blood-colored eyeball inserted into an eye socket, known as the Eye of the Demon Zangshan Laozu.

At that moment, the Taiyin Extinction Divine Light and the Sun-Slaughtering Divine Light rays merge into one, transforming into the Two-Pole Extinction Divine Light, annihilating ninety percent of the living beings in the Nine Heavens.

"Great Supernatural Ability—The Demon Zangshan Laozu's Destructive Glare!"

The old demon head only felt the endless wisdom and insight brought by the Demon Zangshan Laozu's Manas consciousness, which had forcibly composed this heaven-defying great supernatural ability; the vertical eye had only cracked open a sliver, and it had already scorched countless black mountains into lava. If this demon eye were to open completely, no... as long as it opened halfway, it could completely open this portal.

Ning Ning Qingchen was somewhat anxious; although she did not know what the old demon intended, she knew it could not be anything good, so she turned to look at Yan Shu.

"The Demon Zangshan Laozu's Destructive Glare, wanting to stare down a dog's ass..." Yan Shu laughed heartily: "Courting death... courting death!"

"Demon Zangshan Laozu of Destruction..." the old demon head shouted again, but his face turned beet red, and he still could not shout the vertical eye open. At this moment, a continuous stream of demon path wisdom and insight surged into his heart, making him realize in a flash: "That's right! I want to imitate the demon eye of the Nine Heavens' sun and moon merging, but how can the sun and moon I manifest compare to the true sun and moon of the Nine Heavens?"

"The Demon Zangshan Laozu of Destruction is the manifestation of the Nine Heavens' Great Dao of Destruction! It is absolutely impossible for me to summon him; there is only..."

The old demon had a flash of inspiration and instead shouted: "The Nine Heavens Demon Zangshan Laozu opens his eyes!"

The vertical eye composed of black rifts and endless demon fire was, at his shout, cracked open slowly. The Nine Heavens Demon Zangshan Laozu, observing the myriad realms with his Dharma eye, had originally planted demon consciousness in the hearts of countless demon path lords; thus, by evolving the sun and moon with demon consciousness, and transforming the sun and moon into an eye of the Nine Heavens Demon Zangshan Laozu, he finally completely perfected this great supernatural ability.

The Two-Pole Extinction Divine Light completely transformed into chaos, carrying the gaze of the Nine Heavens Demon Zangshan Laozu.

There was no pure great destruction; instead, the power of the Extinction Divine Light became increasingly restrained, with not a single wisp of heat leaking out. The light pierced into the place where the ten thousand mountains converged, and countless black mountains vibrated, the mountain ranges winding and moving like mountain dragons.

That continent was turned upside down, vibrating violently; the place where ten thousand dragon heads hung down cracked open amidst the trembling, as if a rift were about to tear the entire continent apart.

Just as the old demon was ecstatic, that demon eye suddenly retracted its divine light fiercely; the sun and moon reversed within the blood-red vertical eye, and a true demonic nature suddenly became vivid. Only Yan Shu, having cast aside his brain, saw a trace of extremely deep shame and annoyance within that demonic nature; the others were only shocked by the old demon's supernatural ability.

Because the Two-Pole Extinction Divine Light rotated in the demon eye, completely transforming into a demon fire that burned the void and was as substantial as the Nine Heavens, giving everyone a fear that they would vanish if touched by the demon fire.

A flash of amusement crossed the eyes of the heavenly soldier beside Yu Yu Lingxiao.

Soon, the old demon head screamed as his demon consciousness manifested as black lightning, continuously pulled down by the rift transformed by the demon eye behind him. The demon eye transformed into a rift that devoured everything and led to the Nine Heavens, forcibly pulling out the demon consciousness hidden in the sea of consciousness of those demon lords and devouring it.

An invisible Dao fruit tugged slightly, and Yu Yu Lingxiao heard a muffled groan from the heavenly soldier beside him, who tightly closed his eyes.

Heavenly Realm...

In the Weiling King's mansion, someone groaned, then ordered all attendants and immortal children to withdraw. Then, the main mansion was completely shattered by the Weiling King, and the filth within was burned to ashes with tribulation fire.

The Weiling King roared in a low voice: "Nine Heavens! You were plotted against by someone, why take it out on me!"

Having said this, he looked at the lump of Sun Essence still flowing amidst the burning tribulation fire; it was the Nine Heavens Demon Zangshan Laozu who had forcibly stuffed a black mountain into his mouth with great Dharma power.

The Weiling King dared not argue with the Nine Heavens Demon Zangshan Laozu, but simply shattered the core of the entire mansion countless times, burned himself tens of thousands of times with tribulation fire, and then went indignantly to confess his sins to the Profound Heaven God, denouncing the demon path for harboring evil intentions and attacking the Heavenly Realm again.

Ten Thousand Gods Cave...

The skull shattered suddenly, transforming into hundreds of demon path disciples and demon lords. A demon path true disciple almost trembled, looking at that huge portal, looking at the gold and silver melted out from the black mountains, but no longer feeling a shred of greed, he said tremblingly: "That, that gate must never be opened, otherwise a great tribulation will descend!"

But his expression changed, and he added: "But it must be opened a sliver, otherwise a great tribulation will happen right now!"

"No, it cannot be opened!" someone among those demon lords shouted.

Immediately, someone else retorted: "We cannot open that gate on our own; only by propping open the sliver that the Master blasted open earlier is there a glimmer of hope."

"Can't you see how the Master was just backlashed by the Nine Heavens Great Dao when he tried to open that portal?"

"We have already been noticed by the Nine Heavens Great Dao; if we don't open that portal, there will be terrifying consequences."

A group of demon lords argued for a long time, and even the fellow practitioners of the Blood Sea Path went up to argue for a long time, before concluding: "That portal must be opened, otherwise great terror will descend, but it cannot be opened completely..."

Ning Ning Qingchen felt it was strange and turned to ask Yan Shu: "Senior Brother, why are they arguing about whether or not to open this portal?"

Yan Shu lowered his head and thought for a moment, saying: "It must be opened, but only a tiny bit!"

Yu Yu Lingxiao also carefully inquired: "Zangshan Laozu, Zangshan Laozu? I respectfully ask if the Zangshan Laozu is unharmed." Only then did he hear a majestic, cold snort: "That demon just now did not know life from death and stirred the Nine Heavens Great Dao; I had to temporarily evade it."

"May I ask Zangshan Laozu, what should be done now?"

The Weiling King sneered: "Do you think the Sun Essence and Moon Soul here can really be taken by you without any disaster?"

Yu Yu Lingxiao hurriedly said: "Grandson dares not! But Zangshan Laozu, is the gold and silver here really as we guessed, objects with an owner, with seals set by the Heavenly Dog Great Sage, such that one person can only take away two or three items?"

"Would you care about your own excrement?" The Weiling King's voice was calm, but the words spoken had a hint of exasperation.

"Don't forget, these gold and silver come from the sun and moon of the Old Heaven. The Supreme One has already opened a New Heaven. Even if these objects have no owner, no one cares, but the wisp of Old Heaven Great Dao contained within them is enough to make you die countless times!" the Weiling King mocked.

"The more you take, the more you are actively stained by the Old Heaven Great Dao, becoming intolerable to heaven and earth."

"The Eleven Ghost Plagues are themselves old ghosts stained by the residual Dao fruit of the Old Heaven. If you were still people of the New Heaven, you could naturally drive them away easily, but you actively stained yourselves with the aura of the Old Heaven; hehe, those things will no longer be so safe!"

"No longer safe?"

Yu Yu Lingxiao trembled slightly; he really could not imagine how this terrifying and bizarre Eleven Ghost Plagues could be any more dangerous!

"Don't think about it, you have no way out, otherwise that ant-like demon lord would not have stimulated his demon consciousness to try and open that portal. Everyone knows that it must contain the true sun and moon of the Old Heaven. Even if it is intolerable to the current Great Dao, the Nine Heavens Demon Path doesn't care about these things. He wants to use the sun and moon origin behind the gate to refine his own Dao seed and get rid of that kind of existence..."

The Weiling King was silent for a moment before saying: "You must find a way to open that portal and draw out a wisp of the sun and moon origin from within."

"I need to know if this sun and moon origin of the Old Heaven was intentionally preserved by the Heavenly Dog Great Sage."

Having said this, the Weiling King fell silent again, leaving Yu Yu Lingxiao alone with countless shocks and doubts churning in his heart—if the sun and moon of the Old Heaven were truly intentionally preserved by the Heavenly Dog Great Sage at the cost of his own life, then what was his intention? Just looking at a tiny bit of fur from this corpse, one could tell what kind of earth-shattering existence the Heavenly Dog Great Sage was during his lifetime!

And such an existence actually wanted to sacrifice himself to preserve the sun and moon, or rather, to preserve a part of the Old Heaven Great Dao.

The schemes involved were simply not things that an ant like him should touch.

Even the Weiling King of the Heavenly Realm was not quite qualified enough...

"Obtaining a wisp of the Old Heaven Great Dao is a supreme opportunity."

The Weiling King suddenly changed to a very seductive tone: "After the Primordial Spirit, one must condense a Dao seed. And the Dao is formless and qualityless; how can it be condensed into a Dao seed? This step has trapped countless Primordial Spirit beings."

"But if you can obtain a wisp of the sun and moon origin of the Old Heaven, this kind of existence will inevitably conflict with the New Heaven Great Dao. The conflict between the New and Old Heaven Great Daos will certainly bring incomparable danger, but it will also inevitably make the Great Dao manifest more clearly, and you can even distort the Great Dao amidst the conflict between the Old and New Heaven Great Daos to condense a Dao seed."

"The Dao seed is that point that uses one's own Dao to counter-verify heaven and earth and distort the Great Dao of heaven and earth."

"Obtaining the sun and moon origin of the Old Heaven almost inevitably allows one to distort the Taiyin and Taiyang Great Daos and condense a sun and moon Dao seed... This is an incredible opportunity even in the myriad realms of the cosmos. To use the Dao rhyme one has comprehended to conversely distort the true Dao and condense a Dao seed is such a difficult hurdle. But the New and Old Heavens are inherently incompatible; amidst this natural distortion and conflict, wanting to condense a Dao seed becomes countless times easier."

"Therefore, the true opportunity here is not these gold and silver objects stained with the old aura of the Old Heaven and attracting the old ghosts of the Old Heaven."

"It is the opportunity to open the portal..."

"Otherwise, why would that old demon head be so blinded by greed? Does he not know what this portal is... humph humph!"

"Young descendant, this is the only chance in your life to covet what is beyond the Primordial Spirit! If not for this opportunity, with your temperament and foundation, wanting to attain the Primordial Spirit would be a thousand times difficult... Now that I am helping you, it depends on whether you have the determination to gamble on it!" The Weiling King stopped speaking, leaving Yu Yu Lingxiao with endless temptation.

The old dragon of the Dragon Clan also looked blankly at his son and suddenly shed tears.

"My child! Only by relying on this place can you come back to life, yet your father cannot take you away from here. I had intended to stay here to accompany you..."

"Father!" the dragon son said: "After I refined the Dew-Catching Golden Plate and was killed by the taboo upon it, I sank into that world of destruction and learned many things. Implicating Father to break into this dangerous place and using the taboo to let me temporarily live is already a great unfilial act; how can I let Father stay here with me and completely transform into a ghost of taboo? Now, the only thing that can save Father is what is behind this gate!"

"Father can collect Sun Essence to imitate the Dew-Catching Golden Plate; there are many people here who want to open that portal, but after opening it, one must use a magic treasure refined from Sun Essence to catch that wisp of origin shot out by the sun and moon of the Old Heaven."

"The Immortal Han had long laid out plans for this, intending to use the Dew-Catching Plate to catch the sun and moon origin of the Old Heaven, then raise the Heavenly Realm, and use the Heavenly Dao of the Earth Immortal Realm to baptize the sun and moon origin of the Old Heaven, piling up a Dao Lord who has attained a quick-success sun and moon Dao fruit!"

"Such a Sun and Moon Dao Lord would use that Heavenly Realm as a Dao fruit, and could then entrust other Dao seeds upon it, opening up the path to becoming a Dao Lord."

"Although this method has many delusions, the Dew-Catching Plate is the magic treasure most suitable for catching the sun and moon origin. Father, by seizing the initiative with this, will have the possibility of condensing a Dao seed!"

The old dragon looked at the youth who had suddenly grown from a child, with a trace of spirited heroism in his brows, and was suddenly covered in tears.

"My child shall be a True Dragon... The Dao seed is an impossible object that distorts the Great Dao. My life's wish is to condense a Life and Death Dao seed to let my child live again... You were born humble, merely a mixed-color flood dragon; if not for this, why would you have to suffer the exclusion of your fellow brothers and sisters and cruelly seek the mysteries within the Dew-Catching Golden Plate!"

"Father!" the dragon son's gaze was filled with filial love.

The old dragon gritted his teeth fiercely: "Life and death are like the rotation of the sun and moon; I am determined to obtain this Dao seed, and I will surely make my child attain the rank of the fifth Dragon King in the clan!"

The old demon head of the Blood Sea Demon Path also summoned many demon path elites and sneered: "Many people here are afraid they have already guessed what is behind the gate. To be able to make the Third Elder of the Demon Consciousness Sect so reckless, I am afraid that the sun and moon origin of the Old Heaven really has the use of helping people condense a Dao seed!"

"However, attaining the Dao fruit is secondary; more importantly, for the Demon Zangshan Laozu, we must determine what exactly the sun and moon Great Dao in the Heavenly Dog's belly is related to?"

"In the past, our Demon Path destroyed the Ten Thousand Demon Divine Court, and the Heavenly Dog Great Sage suddenly swallowed the sun and moon, causing the Ten Thousand Demon Divine Court's Nine Heavens in the Primordial Era to collapse. Only then did our Demon Path conquer the Primordial Era, and then, using the Primordial Era and the Nine Heavens as a base, counter-attacked the Heavenly Realm and completely destroyed the Divine Court."

"The Heavenly Dog Great Sage buried himself here, and while the Supreme One was present, naturally no one dared to probe anything. But after the Supreme One attained the Dao, the two great immortal dynasties of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Immortal Qin and Immortal Han, both collected the remnants of the sun and moon, plotting the secret of this place."

"If we can find the secret within, the Demon Zangshan Laozu will be overjoyed; what is a mere Dao seed compared to that?"

"Even if I have to give up a Great Dao of the Blood Sea to help you perfect your Dao fruit and attain the rank of Great Dao Lord, it is a trivial matter!"

The old demon of the Blood Sea Path skillfully painted a big picture, stimulating the small demon lords under his command to howl; they dared not not howl! The old demon had one hand painting pictures, while the other immediately planted many vicious magic spells, stimulating the various demons within their bodies, looking exactly like the image of those who did not want to contribute to the greatness of the Demon Path, so they would sacrifice themselves for the greatness of the Demon Path.

Ning Ning Qingchen only felt the Phoenix Master cooing behind her back, pecking at her back with its beak.

Just when the old demon of the Demon Consciousness Sect tried to open the portal with the Two-Pole Extinction Divine Light, Ning Ning Qingchen and the Phoenix Master had realized something; the girl and the bird had combined to refine the Two-Pole Extinction Divine Light several times, and they were the only ones among the crowd, apart from the old demon of the Demon Consciousness Sect, who could truly perceive a wisp of aura behind the gate through that Two-Pole divine light.

"My Guanghan Ice Soul Pill and the Phoenix Master's Feng Yangzhen Fire Pill combined seem to be able to draw something from behind the gate!"

"Is that the opportunity for my attainment of the Dao?"

Ning Ning Qingchen realized that for her and the Phoenix Master, apart from this time, there was only a wisp of possibility hidden in the Guanghan Palace and the Northern Great Brightness Palace. She suddenly understood why Brother Qian Chen insisted on bringing her into the Return to Ruins...
