Chapter 584: Primordial Inheritance, the Huntun Mozhu's Conspiracy

"Ascended?" Ancestor Xinghe smiled indifferently, "This master did indeed once experience death, but an ancient Secret Technique allowed this master to be reborn. After a thousand years of seclusion, this master has already comprehended a method to restrain your Blood Fiend Sect."

He slowly raised his hand, and a miniature star map appeared in his palm: "Ancient Secret Technique—Star Seal Demon Array!"

Countless starlight descended from the sky, forming a complex Dharma Array around the Blood Fiend Sect Elder. These starlight rays appeared gentle, but the power contained within them was capable of purifying all evil.

However, just as Ancestor Xinghe was preparing to act, a massive crack suddenly appeared in the space. From the crack came bursts of demonic howling, and an aura more ancient and evil than that of the Blood Fiend Sect began to permeate the area.

"Hehehe... to think such interesting chaos has appeared in the Human Realm; it is the perfect time for my Mo Jie to invade!" A voice full of evil emanated from the crack.

Immediately following, several figures stepped out from the crack. They were several zhang tall, their bodies radiating black demonic energy, with sharp horns on their heads and massive bat wings on their backs. These were the legendary Mo Jie Shizhe, each possessing terrifying strength no less than that of a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Mo Jie... the Mo Jie Shizhe have actually taken this opportunity to invade!" Seeing this scene, Ancestor Taixuan felt complete despair.

The original three-way melee instantly turned into a four-way chaos. The Blood Fiend Sect, the demonized Yunxiaozi, the Reform Alliance, the traditional forces, and the suddenly appearing Mo Jie Shizhe—the entire Qinglong Peak was plunged into an apocalyptic chaos.

"Hahaha! Excellent! The greater the chaos, the more benefits we shall reap!" the lead Mo Jie Shizhe laughed wildly, "The Qi Luck of the Human Realm is declining; it is time for our Mo Jie to rise!"

Watching the desperate situation before her, Xiao Yuan felt fear in her heart, but her conviction grew even firmer: "No matter how powerful the enemy is, I must never let these demons destroy the Cultivation World! Master Huiming, please give me strength!"

The appearance of Ancestor Xinghe stabilized the battle like a needle in the sea; with a light wave of his hand, he forced back those crazed blood-colored tentacles by dozens of zhang. Those evil powers, which appeared incomparably terrifying in the eyes of others, seemed so insignificant before him.

"Master, your cultivation..." Xingchenzi looked at his master in shock; he could feel the unfathomable pressure on Ancestor Xinghe, which far exceeded his range of understanding.

"After a thousand years of seclusion, this master has glimpsed the mysteries of the Dao at a higher level," Ancestor Xinghe said calmly, though his gaze remained fixed on the Blood Fiend Sect Elder, "More importantly, this master has finally understood the truth of that great war ten thousand years ago."

He turned to look at everyone, his expression becoming exceptionally grave: "Everyone, do you think the revival of the Blood Fiend Sect is merely a coincidence? No, this is a massive conspiracy that has spanned ten thousand years!"

"A conspiracy?" Lin Xuan keenly captured the key information, "Does the senior mean that someone is manipulating all of this from behind the scenes?"

Ancestor Xinghe nodded: "Ten thousand years ago, a righteous-evil war of even greater scale occurred in the Cultivation World. That battle nearly destroyed the entire Cultivation World; countless sects were wiped out, and even the laws of heaven and earth were severely damaged."

He pointed at the Blood Fiend Sect Elder: "The Blood Fiend Sect was merely a pawn in that war; the true enemy is the Yuan Gu Moshen who attempts to destroy the order of the Three Realms—the Huntun Mozhu!"

Hearing this name, everyone present felt a chill. Even the Blood Fiend Sect Elder had a look of fear flash across his eyes.

"The Huntun Mozhu is an ancient evil that has existed since the birth of the Three Realms; its goal is to drag the entire world back into a state of chaos," Ancestor Xinghe continued to explain, "Ten thousand years ago, it nearly succeeded, but fortunately, the Immortal Realm, the Human Realm, and the Mo Jie joined forces to seal it in the depths of the Void."

"However, the seal is not perfect, and the consciousness of the Huntun Mozhu can still influence the Three Realms. The revival of the Blood Fiend Sect, the stirrings of the Mo Jie, and even this great battle today are all within its calculations."

Upon hearing this, Ancestor Taixuan's face turned deathly pale: "Do you mean that all of us have been used?"

Ancestor Xinghe nodded with a bitter smile: "Indeed, including this master, we have all been inadvertently advancing the plan of the Huntun Mozhu. Every large-scale slaughter and hatred weakens the power of the seal."

Hearing this, a strong sense of crisis welled up in Xiao Yuan's heart: "Then what should we do? How can we stop this conspiracy?"

"The only way is to reinforce the seal or completely purify the evil influence left by the Huntun Mozhu in the Three Realms," Ancestor Xinghe looked at Xiao Yuan, a flash of surprise in his eyes, "And you, Miss Xiao Yuan, may be our final hope."

"Me?" Xiao Yuan pointed at herself, full of confusion.

Ancestor Xinghe walked up to Xiao Yuan and carefully observed the aura on her: "This master just discovered that the Compassionate Harmony Dao you practice is actually able to resonate with Immortal music. There is only one possibility for this—your primordial spirit contains the origin of purification from the Primordial Era!"

"Primordial purification origin?" Everyone was confused by this unfamiliar term.

"In the Primordial Era, when heaven and earth first opened, two fundamental forces were born from chaos: creation and destruction. The Huntun Mozhu represents pure destruction, while its counterpart is the Primordial purification power that purifies all things and reshapes order," Ancestor Xinghe explained.

"In that great war ten thousand years ago, the powerful beings who possessed the Primordial purification origin all sacrificed themselves; their power merged into heaven and earth, waiting for a fated person to awaken it. Miss Xiao Yuan, that you were able to create the Compassionate Harmony Dao without a teacher proves that you are that fated person!"

Xiao Yuan felt her heart surge, but at the same time, she felt immense pressure: "But my strength is still very weak; how could I possibly oppose an enemy of that level?"

"This is what this master intends to pass on to you," a Jade Slip radiating a gentle light appeared in Ancestor Xinghe's hand, "Primordial World-Purifying Art—this is a supreme divine art left behind by those sages ten thousand years ago, specifically designed to restrain the power of demons."

He handed the Jade Slip to Xiao Yuan: "This cultivation method is profound and vast; even this master has only comprehended a small portion of it. But with your talent, you should be able to grasp its essence."

The moment Xiao Yuan took the Jade Slip, her entire being was enveloped by a warm power. Countless ancient Runes flashed in her mind; these Runes contained the purest power between heaven and earth, making her heart instantly become incomparably clear.

"This feeling... so familiar..." Xiao Yuan closed her eyes and began to circulate her True Qi according to the guidance of the technique. Surprisingly, she was able to understand those profound incantations without any obstacles, as if she had practiced this technique in a past life.
