Chapter 533 The Mysterious Capital's Refining of the Spirit Finally Has a Method (Part 1)
"My master is doing well, but he is very lonely in the Southern Wilderness and often misses his uncle."

The masked Taoist priest, carrying four swords on his back, spoke indifferently, his voice devoid of any emotion even as he faced Yue Luan.

The Jade Scenery Sect has no mountain gate; all its teachings are passed down from master to disciple. The entire sect is like an invisible net, seemingly without any trace at first glance, yet it is ever-present and its clues can be seen everywhere.

"It's been many years since we last met."

Yue Luan sighed, a rare occurrence for him: "Our lineage has had a difficult journey. Your master has been supporting the Southern Wilderness for so many years; he has his own hardships to endure."

"My master is living in seclusion in the Central Plains, but the ancient underworld has now appeared, and many secrets of our sect will likely be revealed to the Xuandu Palace. My master's idea is that since the Central Plains is about to become the center of attention, it will lose its original tranquility. He requests that my master go to the Southern Wilderness for a while."

The masked Taoist priest spoke quietly.

"I cannot attain the position of Earth Immortal. I can only eke out a living under the Heavenly Tribulation. Even if I go to the Southern Wilderness, I'm afraid I won't achieve anything."

Yue Luan stroked his beard, his aura concealed, and no one could tell that he was actually a master of the Tribulation Technique and a true immortal.

"The reopening of the ancient underworld is crucial to the very foundation of our sect. Your master has worked tirelessly in the south for this very day. Now that I am involved, I cannot remain aloof."

Yue Luan looked at the white cat on the other side and asked, "Has your plan not changed yet?"

"Bai Zu said that because that person wanted to rebuild the Heavenly Court, he loosened the seals in the ancient underworld. If we can take advantage of this opportunity, we might be able to achieve something similar to what happened in the Yin-Yang Realm back then..."

The white cat spoke cautiously.

"The Yin-Yang Realm only sealed one Bilong, and it can't even be considered one of the many anchor points of Xuandu Palace. The reason you had room to maneuver in that game was because Xuandu Palace was able to reinforce that anchor point again through the Buddhist Six Paths of Reincarnation. There were thirteen demon gods in the ancient underworld, and if we talk about their ranking back then, they were all above that Bilong."

Yue Luan coldly stared at the white cat in front of him: "It's not that I look down on you, but back in the Yin-Yang Realm, you caught Xuandu Palace off guard. What makes you think you can do these things under Xuandu Palace's nose?"

"It depends on human effort, and not everyone is willing to have a Xuandu Palace blocking the way in the sky."

The white cat said respectfully.

“I don’t like Xuandu Palace either. But just like your ancestor, once he lost his courage, he was timid for the rest of his life. He suffered such a great loss at the hands of Xuandu Palace back then, and I originally thought he would never dare to enter the Central Plains in his life. A few days ago, I heard him say that he wanted to come to the Central Plains again, and I thought he had finally changed his nature and regained some courage. Compared to him, you are more courageous than him.”

Yue Luan glanced at the white cat.

"With the Xuandu Palace, it is indeed an additional shackle on our bodies. Without the Xuandu Palace, this world would definitely not be what it is today."

Yue Luan naturally knew the origins of the white cat in front of him.

Although almost all the ancient demon gods were sealed away back then, there are still a few who are barely surviving in this world. As for the descendants left behind by those demon gods, they are countless.

In addition, their inheritance of ancient secret techniques makes them a force to be reckoned with in today's world.

But in the end, it was just a shadow under the light of Xuandu Palace.

The reason it exists is simply because it hasn't been illuminated yet.

"But you've been holding back for so long, why rush things?"

Yue Luan looked at the white cat before him: "I have my own ambitions in the affairs of the ancient underworld, but that is none of your business. If I were to use my wits, would Xuandu Palace tolerate a disciple of the Jade Scenery Path like me? If I were to join forces with you, hmph, do you really think the East Sea is so peaceful?" "For senior to speak to a junior like this shows that senior still cherishes the past interactions with us. Then this junior will be frank with senior. Xuandu Palace has now almost completed the method to exterminate the demon god. If we do not take action now, we may never have another chance."

A method to slay demon gods?

Yue Luan frowned.

The immortality of ancient demon gods is not only a well-known fact, but also a fundamental principle of law.

Because the foundation for achieving the Annihilation Saint Technique of the Demon God lies in merging oneself with the laws, making them indistinguishable. If the laws exist, then the Demon God exists because of them.

Many demon gods have even seized control of the most fundamental laws of this realm.

This is different from spiritual practice in the traditional sense.

The struggle between spiritual practitioners and celestial beings lies in utilizing these principles to enhance oneself.

For the demon gods, the laws that originally existed between heaven and earth were the nourishment for their growth.

In this sense, if these demon gods had not been completely annihilated, the final result would have been that all the laws of this world would have been occupied by a giant demon god and merged with it, after which it would have ventured into the more distant universe.

If this path of annihilation is followed to its end, it will lead to the demon god devouring everything.

Therefore, this path is destined to be impassable.

The so-called Great Way is fifty, Heaven extends forty-nine, and man escapes one.

This is the profound truth of nature.

The result of trying to control everything is being sealed off in various places, becoming an "anchor point" that bears all kinds of pressure under this world system and keeps the world from collapsing.

Any force that seeks to dominate everything will inevitably be countered; this is the profound principle upheld by the Jade Scenery Path.

The ancient demon gods who sought to rule over all laws were countered by being sealed in darkness. Similarly, the Five Emperors of the Five Directions who attempted to establish an ancient heavenly court were destined to be rejected by heaven and earth.

From this perspective, Yue Luan believed that the future fate of Xuandu Palace would not be very good. Although Xuandu Palace had tried its best to avoid getting involved in these karmas, some things were destined to be inescapable.

"They won't do it."

Yue Luan looked at the white cat before him: "Since the fall of the ancient Heavenly Court and the collapse of the heavens and earth, it is true that the entire system maintaining this realm was completed by the Xuandu Palace in conjunction with various parties, but the true foundation is the ancient demon gods who serve as the anchor. The power of the splitting of heaven and earth, the laws governing the flow of all things—these pressures are firmly locked on the heads of your ancestors. If the Xuandu Palace were to truly annihilate them, who would be there to shoulder this responsibility? Unless…"

Yue Luan thought of a certain possibility, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Has the Xuandu Palace finally made up its mind about the future of this world and begun to take action?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Perhaps I have indeed been silent for too long.

Sorry for the poor update today. It's not because I've been influenced by bad literature; it's just that I'm not feeling well. My whole body aches, and I have a slight fever. The antigen result was negative, so I'm probably still chilled... I'll test again tomorrow. I hope that next year, the country will be safe and sound, the people will be prosperous and happy, and spring will bring new life to everything.
