Yinshan Record

Chapter 563 Attracting a Celestial Calamity (Part 1)
In the ancient times, it was the era when demon gods occupied this world. Most of the so-called primordial alien species were the blood descendants of these demon gods. The reason why the demon gods created these blood descendants was to use them to fight against other demon gods. Every primordial alien species was a born fighter.

Moreover, depending on the demon god they serve, their supernatural powers and magical abilities also vary.

"The so-called Zhu Yan is the harbinger of war and disaster. Ancient records say that the Zhu Yan beast is shaped like an ape, with a white head and red feet, and its appearance foretells a great war. This ferocious beast is extremely difficult to deal with, but I have already trapped it. You few go first, and I will cover you."

Fei Xin chuckled and said, "Zhu Yan is said to be indestructible, so let you swordsmen test its strength."

Gongshu Yun and the Venerable Galeng, seeing his imposing demonic power, could only nod repeatedly.

When you're under someone else's roof, how can you not bow your head? If you dare to refuse now, you're afraid this old devil will turn on you immediately.

Su Che, however, saw that this person was indeed an old fox.

Back when he was in the Huangtiandao Sect, Su Che had already read through these materials about the exotic species of the primordial world. Knowing that Madam Xie had a Zhu Yan by her side, he had even carefully researched what the Zhu Yan was.

According to information within the Huangtiandao Sect, the claim that Zhuyan is a mythical beast associated with war and disaster is actually putting the cart before the horse.

It is true that Zhu Yan enjoys fighting, but their favorite food is the murderous aura that permeates the air when living beings fight.

Therefore, even in ancient times, Zhu Yan was the most unpopular primordial alien species. This was because Zhu Yan would deliberately provoke conflicts to satisfy their own appetites, and they would not be satisfied until blood flowed like rivers.

Therefore, after the demon gods were sealed away, Zhu Yan was one of the earliest ancient alien species to be hunted down and nearly wiped out.

In contrast, the dragon race is also a primordial species. However, as water spirits, they have the power to control clouds and rain and harmonize mountains and rivers. After ancient times, they not only did not become extinct, but became more and more prosperous. Wherever there are water veins, there are dragons.

In addition, it was lewd and gave birth to various kinds of dragons, such as Bixi, Pixiu, and Yazi.

Returning to the topic of Zhu Yan, Huang Tian Dao specifically emphasizes that this strange beast's power is extremely wondrous, and that it represents a kind of "end of fortune" or "end of Dharma".

The so-called "end of Dharma" or "end of fortune" refers to the period when practitioners, after reaching a certain stage in their cultivation, suddenly lose their supernatural powers and revert to being ordinary people. This often indicates that a practitioner's lifespan is nearing its end. Even those who have attained immortality and achieved longevity sometimes encounter similar celestial tribulations, known as the "five signs of decay in the heavens."

Once such strange phenomena appear, it means that the fortune has run its course and the time for extinction has come.

Zhu Yan's ability is to use this power for attacks. Once affected by Zhu Yan, it directly attacks the foundation of one's cultivation and affects the lifespan of the cultivator.

Daoji is the foundation of a person's cultivation. It represents the cultivator's understanding and application of the Great Dao. However, Zhu Yan can directly attack this foundation of the cultivator. Naturally, a master of the demonic sect like Fei Xin would not joke about his own path of cultivation.

By omitting this part, he's hoping we'll become his scapegoats.

As the fog rolled in, the five set off again. Lingzhenzi, carrying four swords on his back, led the way, followed by Su Che and the other two. Finally, the Demonic Sect's Bu Xu from the Arctic Yuan Palace personally oversaw the procession.

While it was said that he was in charge, it also implied that he was supervising the battle.

The group wandered through the winding, narrow cave. Su Che had never imagined that the cave he and the Yin-Yang Dharma King had explored years ago would be of such a large scale.

It's like another world has formed beneath Jiankang.

The enormous mushroom cap emitted an eerie glow, and will-o'-the-wisps floated within the mysterious mist, while insects and other creatures occasionally flew through the air. This secret cave below was not a forbidden zone for life.

Lingzhenzi unleashed a surge of sword energy, piercing through the mist ahead. Feixin seemed quite wary of the mist; although it kept dodging the old monster from the demonic sect, he didn't use any magic, instead using the gaps in the space Lingzhenzi had created to ascend.

This Lingzhenzi really knows this place like the back of his hand. Coming down here is like coming home. I really don't know what they were messing around with underground back then.

Su Che was absolutely certain of one thing: this Ling Zhenzi, and Yue Luan, who was suspected to be the Jade Scenery Dao Longevity True Person, both had deep ties to the Demonic Sect. Furthermore, it was almost certain that the Rakshasa Sea was the Northern Demonic Sect's front for the Eastern Sea. Otherwise, why were they so familiar with the Void Step experts of the Arctic Yuan Palace?

Add to that the demonic fetus nurtured by the old emperor, and the mysterious underground cave beneath Jiankang City. Su Che was almost certain that the current Liang royal family had some kind of deal with the Rakshasa Sea and the Demonic Sect.

"Please stop here."

Gongshu Yun suddenly spoke, and the others also stopped in their tracks.

What do you want?

Fessin made no attempt to hide the malice in his eyes.

"I was just reminded of a legend."

Gongshu Yun looked at Fei Xin and said, "I once saw in the sect's records that in ancient times, a demon lord ravaged the Central Plains and was sealed underground in Jiankang by a master of the Celestial Masters sect. I wonder if this is true?"

"Since it's a legend, don't take it as fact."

Fei Xin gave a cold laugh: "The place where Zhu Yan is just ahead, so be careful."

Suddenly, the narrow underground passage opened up into a bright light ahead, and the faint sounds of roaring and howling could be heard in the distance.

The thick fog seemed to boil, constantly fluctuating ahead. Just by observing the intense fluctuations of vital energy ahead, one could tell that at least some cultivators at the Core Formation stage were engaged in a life-or-death struggle.

"Elder Fei, if you had arrived even a moment later, we would have all been ruined by that beast."

A powerful voice came from within the thick fog.

From within the mist, three figures dressed in black robes appeared. The black robes of these people were made of an unknown material, and they appeared to have a dark, shimmering quality and an extraordinary air. They were covered with intricate, twisted, and eerie demonic patterns woven from gold threads.

The leader, a demonic cultivator, wore a tall crown, had a long beard that reached his chest, and was imposing and tall, with a hidden divine light in his eyes.

"Yehu, what's the rush?"

Su Che felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

Back when he was in the Huangtiandao Sect, he had heard of this man's reputation. He was said to be a rising star among the younger generation of the Northern Demonic Sect. It was said that he was originally a rogue cultivator who had offended a powerful demonic sect leader who had attained immortality. However, he had withstood a full-force attack from the Six Desires Demon with his own skills and supernatural powers, which aroused the Demon Lord's appreciation for talent. He was taken into the sect and later bestowed with great treasures.

Huang Tiandao collected the names of these heroes of the Demonic Sect and distributed them to his disciples in order to encourage them to seek out these figures as whetstones when they travel the world in the future.

Do you not see Yu Lizi, who made the fastest progress in the Yellow Heaven Dao Sect? He had to fight his way through the Northern Lands to hone his Dao foundation, and it was only through countless trials and tribulations that he achieved what he has today.

Ye Hu is considered one of the most outstanding young talents in the Arctic Yuan Palace, and it's unexpected that he would also come to the underground of Jiankang.

Su Che couldn't help but wonder what this secret cave was, that the Arctic Yuan Palace had gone to such lengths to find it, and why Madam Xie's Zhu Yan had come here.

All of this fueled Su San Gongzi's fighting spirit.

Since he is one of the best among the younger generation of the Demonic Sect, we should have a match to see if his demonic power is superior or my righteousness is superior.
