Standing in front of Hong He was a female cultivator dressed in a light blue dress, possessing a petite and delicate appearance.
Though he had never met her, at first glance, he recognized that the person before him was his deceased wife.
"It’s just the use of the Incarnation Demon Technique. I always keep three Heart Demon Avatars. A hundred years ago, I foolishly offended the true body of Ancestor Chen and was slain, then activated Sun Huangling to live again. After Sun Huangling’s death, I revived in this avatar. Seeing me, shouldn’t you be happy?"
Du Mengyun spoke while casting a slightly scrutinizing gaze at the Daoist partner holding the fishing rod before her.
"Naturally, I’m happy, but for such a matter, you should have informed me in advance. This way, after you died, I could have promptly brought back your resurrected self."
Hong He thought for a moment and decided not to take any action.
After all, he had sworn a Daoist Heart Oath to Du Mengyun in the past, promising not to harm her. Even though now Du Mengyun had a different body, the oath probably still held.
Although there were underhanded ways, like having someone else do it, Hong He felt that on the territory of the Righteous Path, having a Daoist partner knowledgeable about his background who could share heartfelt words was better for the Dao Heart.
Moreover, in her previous life, Du Mengyun had at least nurtured him, and Hong He wouldn’t mit the ungrateful act.
Even though he had already fallen into the Demon Path, he still adhered to basic morals.
"I originally intended to use this opportunity to shed my skin and leave the territory of the Five Elements Sect, to hide far away..."
Hearing this, Du Mengyun also lowered her guard. She, born of the Demon Path, trusted no one. This time she came to find Hong He, not only to seek resources to help her Core Formation but also because she received shocking news.
"Then why did you return?" Hong He was somewhat curious.
As Daoist partners, the two, although not truly husband and wife, understood each other’s backgrounds. He knew Du Mengyun always wished to break free from Chen Mobai and regain her freedom.
"I might have done so before, but now in the Tianhe Realm, this territory of the Five Elements Sect is the safest place."
Du Mengyun told of Chen Mobai’s battle above the Mysterious Sea with the sixth-rank Kui Beast of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, forcing it to ascend, yet he continued to pursue into the Nine Heavens, bringing back its corpse.
Her current avatar just happened to be a Foundation Establishment Elder of a Core Formation power on the East Barbarian side, where she received firsthand news.
And at this time, originally planning to flee, Du Mengyun decided not to leave.
If Chen Ancestor could even slay a sixth-rank Kui Beast, it’s likely that even if the head of the Central Demonic Path dared to e, they would be subdued.
Moreover, with the Tianhe Realm about to undergo a great transformation, a catastrophe where Dao dissipates and demons thrive, although she was a devil cultivator, she didn’t believe she could stand out amid such overwhelming circumstances.
After all, none of the descending magic treasures from the outer skies ever chose her or fell upon her head.
"Is Ancestor really that powerful?"
Upon hearing Du Mengyun’s account, Hong He was shocked.
Though aware that Chen Mobai was already the number one in the Eastern Continent, chasing and killing a sixth-rank Kui Beast still exceeded his imagination.
After all, the realm of Ascendance is already the highest and strongest in the Immortal Cultivation World, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
"Ancestor Chen should be in a realm where he can ascend at any time. However, there isn’t a second Divinity Transformation in the current Five Elements Sect except for him, so he suppresses himself to remain in the Tianhe Realm. We should take advantage of the safety while he remains, strive to cultivate, and elevate our realms, lest we be swept away as dust in the times of great transformation."
Du Mengyun shared her thoughts; with this rebirth, she decided to securely attach herself to Chen Mobai.
Hong He gently nodded, intending to send someone to Northern Abyss City to purchase some spiritual medicine for assisting Core Formation from Danxia Pavilion, only to find Du Mengyun ing beside him and taking his hand.
Just as Hong He wore a puzzled expression, Du Mengyun’s face turned slightly red, and she voiced another plan: "We two have entered the Demon Path, likely never to cleanse our names in this lifetime, but the kindness of Ancestor Chen cannot be forgotten. Why not have a child, allow them to join the Five Elements Sect and serve him, so that if the child achieves something in the future, we would have a background and patron."
Hong He was very hesitant after hearing this.
He disliked women, preferring to cultivate and fish. Having a child in the future might affect his current pleasant life.
But what Du Mengyun said made sense.
Last time, Chen Mobai’s words clearly meant the favor was concluded. If not for the background of the Five Elements Sect, when pursued by the Jade Mirror Demon Sect, he and Du Mengyun might only be able to await death.
As he hesitated, Du Mengyun leaned into his arms, stretching out her hand to undo his belt.
...
Among the eastern regions, the East Li Domain was the only place Chen Mobai had yet to visit.
Originally a Demon Path territory, it fell into the hands of various large factions of the East Land after a decisive battle between righteousness and demons.
However, the East Li Domain was vast, with many deep mountains and wild forests, so no one knew where demon entities might lurk.
Following a message talisman from Dustless True Monarch, Chen Mobai arrived at a sinkhole, a deep pit filled with miasma, with faint spiritual energy mixed in. Uninformed cultivators would think it a small Spirit Vein polluted by miasma and would not examine closely.
The message talisman transformed into a yellow ray, flying into the sinkhole.
Behind Chen Mobai’s head, a glow flickered, with the Primordial Yang Treasure Bead rising like a sun, emitting scorching light and heat, dispelling the cold miasma inside the pit.
Under the Light Great Dao of the Primordial Yang Treasure Bead, everything hidden was illuminated.
After the miasma on the surface dissipated, a scarlet demonic aura like a cold tide began to surge upward, vaguely transforming into the shadows of demons, hideous and terrifying.
However, the instant it made contact with the Treasure Bead’s Light, it emitted a mournful wail, like snow exposed to sunlight, beginning to turn into black smoke and dissipate.
The Primordial Yang Treasure Bead continued to descend into the pit, and wherever it passed, whether it was the chilling demonic aura, scarlet demonic shadows, or any form of demonic restrictions, cold frost, and icy flames, they collapsed upon contact.
The demon-suppressing properties of the Pure Yang Scroll were being employed to their full effect at this moment.
Soon, the Primordial Yang Treasure Bead landed on a blood-red and azure barrier of light.
Chen Mobai sensed that it was surprisingly equivalent to a Fifth Rank Superior Grade Formation, originally a Fifth Rank Spirit Vein of subterranean currents, modified by a master of the Jade Mirror Demon Sect into the ancestral ground of the sect, extremely hidden.
If he hadn’t e close and confirmed the place below as his destination, he might have missed this location.
That Dustless True Monarch could find this place can only be attributed to the prowess of the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Instrument.
Chen Mobai, with his Earth Spirit Realm, saw through this naturally and artificially modified formation, then the Primordial Yang Sword lit up, and the Sword Light differentiated, casting hundreds of resplendent rays from the sky, like a meteor shower piercing all the crucial nodes of the formation.
In a series of muffled booms, the light barrier flickered several times before shattering and dissipating. Then this seemingly bottomless pit began to shake violently, as if about to collapse.
"Who is so bold..."
A fierce shout rang out, and a blood-red glow surged into the sky, transforming into a Blood God Dharma Aspect with blood-red skin and two horns on its head.
This Blood God emanated ghostly blue snowflakes all over, falling onto the mountain wall, freezing the stone into powder, evidencing its extreme coldness.
And this power came from a strangely shaped magic artifact held in the Blood God’s hand.
Is this the Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber!
Chen Mobai looked at the narrow, crescent-moon-like azure magic artifact and couldn’t help but think.
With a loud boom!
From the depths of the pit, a yellow spiritual light burst forth, and a Taoist wrapped in it shot out.
It was indeed Dustless True Monarch.
He was trapped by the formation of the Jade Mirror Demon Sect and the Blood God, unable to escape, but outside, Chen Mobai broke the formation, allowing him to slip through like a bird in the sky, and use the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Instrument to escape.
Seeing this, the Blood God immediately wielded the Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber and fiercely slashed at the ascending Dustless True Monarch with a ghostly blue cold light.
With a resounding clang, Dustless True Monarch resisted the blow, but his figure paused, and frost formed on his brows and hair.
"You stubborn old turtle shell, you actually endured until reinforcements arrived!"
While suppressing Dustless True Monarch with the Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber, the Blood God’s gaze remained fixed on the sky-bound Chen Mobai.
She knew that pared to this Dao Morale Sect member, the youth above, Chen Mobai, was the greater threat.
"Young friend, lend a hand; this demon sword contains the Calamity Tribulation Qi from the First Frostfall Snow that sealed Tianhe at the dawn of the heavens and earth. I’m old and can’t handle the cold."
Using the Heaven and Earth Xuanji Instrument to withstand the Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber, Dustless True Monarch immediately called out to Chen Mobai upon seeing him above.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai nodded slightly. As his sword technique activated, the Primordial Yang Sword slashed through the void, receiving the Blood God’s saber strike on behalf of Dustless True Monarch.
In the instant of the blade and sword collision, the two opposing powers of the Great Tao, heat, and cold, instantly triggered earth-shattering effects.
Amidst a cataclysmic explosion, the ancestral ground of the Jade Mirror Demon Sect was directly reduced to ruins.
However, Dustless True Monarch, wielding a Sixth Rank Artifact, faced this earth-altering force head-on, flying out and stopping only by Chen Mobai’s side.
"Young friend..."
Just as a shivering Dustless True Monarch opened his mouth, a sky-splitting, earth-rending ghostly blue saber light emerged, slashing right before them.
Clang!
With a resounding chime, the Primordial Clock descended, effortlessly suppressing the saber light potent enough to freeze the void.
And the Blood God, having cleaved the earth, flew before Chen Mobai, clutching the Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber, sneering coldly.
"With the help of the demon sword, my cultivation has reached perfection. I’m about to settle scores with you Eastern Continent Righteous Dao, along with my grudge against you, today."
While speaking, demonic light flickered around the Blood God, transforming into a figure of a female cultivator familiar to Chen Mobai.
It was Diao Xianlan, whom Chen Mobai had a grudge with in the past when the righteous and demonic paths clashed.
"Young friend, this person is already controlled by the Heavenly Calamity Frost Disaster Saber, with power nearly equivalent to an ancient demon descending. Let’s join forces to see if we can suppress it, preventing it from escaping and wreaking havoc on the Eastern Continent. If that’s really not possible, we’ll gather all the Divinity Transformation experts of the Eastern Continent Immortal Alliance upon returning and eliminate it together," Dustless True Monarch said gravely, having already expelled the coldness of the demon saber from his body.
