Chapter 627 What is this mysterious and obscure thing (Part 2)
White Pond?

Su Che had also seen the name of this strange beast in human books. It was said that such beasts were virtuous and spiritual creatures that would only appear when the ruler was wise and virtuous.

He was born with great supernatural powers, able to perceive the shadows of all ghosts and understand the principles of all things in the world; he was an omniscient being in the human world.

The Bai Ze of the East Sea and the Di Ting of the West are both mythical beasts capable of communicating with the underworld and understanding changes. They are extremely rare in the world and priceless.

"Most of the strange beasts we see today can be traced back to an ancestor who was a demon god in the ancient times."

Kongkong'er explained, "The first Bai Ze in this world was an ancient demon god who wielded the power of truth and illusion."

"Moreover, because it cooperated with the ancient Heavenly Court and wavered between the Western Paradise and Xuandu Palace, it escaped the fate of being sealed away by the primordial demon gods."

"Is it an enemy?"

"We can confirm it now, but we don't know exactly what it wants."

Kongkong'er sneered, "The remnants of the ancient demon god are restless back then. I'm afraid this situation in the Blood River Realm is an important step in their probing."

After the Primordial Evil Dragon broke the seal of the Yin-Yang boundary and returned to the sea, it disappeared without a trace. Bai Ze was behind the scenes, slowly laying out his plans, even subtly pointing to Zhongyuan.

Madam Xie also had a Zhu Yan by her side...

The ancient demon gods who had gradually fallen silent since the beginning of time are also returning.

"It would be better to follow the clues in Jiankang City and use the route through Baiyun City to see which forces are willing to be used by Bai Ze."

Su Che asked Kong Kong'er, "Doesn't he sense anything when we mention him like this?"

Legend has it that Bai Ze is all-knowing and all-seeing; if any living being mentions his name, he will immediately sense and know it.

Will Kongkong'er's mention of his name disturb this ancient demon god?

"He should have been crippled long ago."

Kongkong'er gave a cold laugh and then recounted a case.

This matter still needs to be traced back to the Celestial Masters sect.

The three major sects of Xuanmen—Huangtiandao, Tianshidao, and Shenxiaodao—all inherently claim to be the orthodox sects of the Heavenly Court and call themselves supreme in terms of doctrine and law.

Specifically, Huangtiandao believes that Huangtian is supreme and unparalleled, while Shenxiaodao regards the Jiutian Yingyuanfu as the pivot of Yin and Yang in the universe.

When it came to the Celestial Masters sect, it took it a step further. The Celestial Masters sect called itself the "Three Heavens Orthodox Law" and regarded other Xuanmen lineages as "Six Heavens Ancient Qi," which they wanted to teach a lesson to.

This also involves the most important legal arrangement in this world, which I will not go into detail about here.

Among them, the ancient primordial demon gods were naturally thrown into the "Six Heavens Ancient Qi". Those ancient demon gods who were sealed by Xuandu Palace and turned into earth bones need no further mention. They were already unlucky and dead. The few who were still jumping around naturally received special attention from the Celestial Masters Sect.

First, the "mountain-breaking and temple-chopping" campaign wiped out the tribes and followers of these demon gods. Then, they targeted their destined deities with deadly force.

According to Kongkong'er, Bai Ze was able to understand the past, present, and future not only because he had a pair of spiritual eyes that represented enlightenment, but also six pairs of spiritual ears that could hear the changes of Yin and Yang.

The method of the Celestial Masters sect is very simple: they gather their disciples, along with the immortals within their sect, and simultaneously praise this Bai Ze demon god.

That's right, the Celestial Masters sect chose to worship gods in order to bring down Bai Ze.

Numerous cultivators, even powerful figures at the Earth Immortal level, followed the ritual and jointly worshipped Bai Ze. Their chaotic thoughts and soul-crushing prayers nearly shattered the ancient demon god's mind. However, due to the arrangements of the Celestial Masters Sect, this Bai Ze demon god couldn't gain any faith. As for the changes in the world, they were completely obscured by the chanting of the Celestial Masters Sect.

The information pollution tactic was a great success, directly overwhelming the six pairs of spiritual ears that could hear the changes of Yin and Yang.

Later, the Celestial Masters sect struck while the iron was hot. Under the leadership of the Water Official Cave Yin Emperor, the sect's immortals attacked Bai Ze, whose spirit was in a daze, and completely destroyed his spiritual ears that could hear the changes of Yin and Yang.

After hearing all this, Su Che became even more certain that the three major sects of the Xuanmen were all quite capable.

"Didn't Bai Ze ever think about revenge?"

"Revenge? Under the current circumstances, how could he dare to retaliate? If he makes a move, it would be like the ancient demon god returning, wanting to turn the world upside down. Not to mention the Xuanmen, even the East Sea Sword Palace and the Western Heaven Buddhist Kingdom, which one would tolerate them continuing their reckless behavior?"

Kongkong'er sneered: "You have no idea how much effort this White Demon God has put into extricating himself from the ranks of the Primordial Demon Gods over the years, accumulating merit, doing good deeds, and mentoring the younger generation in the cultivation world..."

"If that's the case, it seems it's still unwilling to accept it."

"The ancient demon gods cultivate the Path of Annihilation, which is close to the divine path but even more domineering. It seeks to plunder and seize the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and to corrupt and transform the laws into its own. This is a struggle for the Great Dao. The stronger the ancient demon gods are, the weaker the cultivators are; the stronger the cultivators are, the weaker the ancient demon gods are."

Kongkong'er continued, "To this day, there is no room for the ancient demon gods to advance further in this world. They either need to sever their karmic ties as soon as possible and seek another world, or they need to become enemies of the world, release the ancient demon gods, and start a new battle."

Kongkong'er's smile was quite meaningful.

"No matter what they choose, they will challenge the current order and laws of heaven and earth and collide head-on with Xuandu Palace."

Upon hearing this secret, Su Che suddenly felt somewhat relieved, yet also harbored some inexplicable worry.

Indeed, the Earth Immortals of Xuandu Palace are the most stable source of power in this realm. They always think that if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. But with Xuandu Palace protecting them at every turn, what if something goes wrong?

Bai Ze has been accumulating power for a long time, and who knows how many arrangements he has made in secret. He has been planning for a long time, so why not take this opportunity to follow the clues and see what kind of schemes he has in the Central Plains?

"Senior, why don't we follow the clues and see what this person is really up to?"

Su Che said, "Since they've set up this bait, we'd better take it."

"That's exactly what I meant. Since they've reached out, we should be prepared to chop off their wrists as well."

Kongkong took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

"Does this place look familiar to you?"

Su Che took the note, but it contained an address.

"Yaqing Villa, this seems to be a courtyard of the Xie family of Chenjun."

"Young Su, this time you'll be the one to go and see what surprises this White Demon God has arranged in the Central Plains."

Kongkong'er said, "Let's stick to the old rules. I'll cover for you, and you can be my vanguard, how about that?"

“Alright, since they’ve set up a bait, let’s test the waters with a stone. I’ll be the stone.”

Having made their decision, the two immediately set off for Jiankang.
