Yinshan Record

Chapter 743 Once a move is made, there's no going back; the game ends in defeat.
Taiwei Tianzun was one of the founders of the Celestial Masters sect, and he passed down many wonderful methods within the sect.

What is most remarkable is that this person has always been fond of mentoring younger generations. Not only the juniors of the Xuanmen, but also the sword cultivators of the East Sea Sword Palace, and even some of the demons and ghost cultivators have benefited from his kindness.

As a revered earth immortal, he dwells in the world to cultivate good relationships.

This person truly deserves the praise of being described as "possessing great virtue and carrying great responsibility".

However, this celestial being gradually disappeared from the cultivation world.

Some say he traveled across the void to another country to establish a new lineage, and has already become the ancestor of a new lineage.

Some say he was corrupted by demons long ago and was deliberately harming practitioners. His past good deeds were nothing more than carefully cultivated demonic seeds.

Some people say that he has encountered a problem in his cultivation and is currently in seclusion within the sect.

There are many different opinions.

However, today, everything is settled. After confirmation by Mingwei, a highly accomplished disciple of the Celestial Masters sect, it has been determined that the Taiwei Celestial Venerable of that time has perished under the heavenly tribulation.

Jiang Shouchang looked at Li Shouchang, and the two brothers exchanged glances, their faces filled with indescribable shock.

For a terrestrial immortal, dying under a heavenly tribulation is almost impossible.

The most basic requirement for becoming an Earth Immortal is proving that the cultivator has transcended the system of laws governing heaven and earth and is no longer bound by them.

If one cannot cultivate to this level, the so-called "Earth Immortal" is just a castle in the air, something that cannot be discussed at all.

Unless there is a fundamental change in its foundation, it would never have fallen to this state.

There is only one answer.

Taiwei Tianzun, also known as the Earth Official Emperor, used a secret method of the Xuanmen to sever the three souls, and re-divided the originally perfect Yang God into three souls, leaving one of them in the secret mansion formed by the Earth Book.

On one hand, it inherits the demonic thoughts of ten thousand years, and on the other hand, it deduces the past.

It also left him with a fatal flaw.

Generally speaking, the higher one's cultivation level, the less likely they are to use methods such as "external incarnation" or "second primordial spirit".

Because such methods are tantamount to splitting one's own foundation, leaving endless hidden dangers for the future.

It's fine to play around with it when your cultivation level is low.

The higher one's level, the more cautious one must be with such methods.

But that's exactly what the Earth Official Emperor did.

"Huang Tiandao's senior brother Su was not corrupted by the Heavenly Demon, but was enlightened by the Taiwei Heavenly Venerable of our sect."

As Mingwei spoke, a chilling aura emanated from her as she pointed at Zhongjia beside her.

"If anyone speaks unclearly, talking about being possessed by demons or not, I will not care about others, but if they insult our sect's founder, the Celestial Masters Sect will never allow it."

These words were so reasonable and insightful that both Li Shouchang and Jiang Shoucheng felt a surge of warmth in their hearts.

They are all of the same lineage, sharing the same blood and spirit.

If it weren't for the difference between men and women, Li Shouchang would have liked to lift Mingwei up high and praise this little devil of the Celestial Masters sect as fresh and lovely.

"You all knew all along that this place was guarded by a branch spirit of the Earthly Official Emperor, so why didn't you say so sooner?"

Before Zhongjia could even make a move, it was Ji Boyuan who was furious this time.

The Divine Firmament Sect mobilized a large force this time, bringing many starships large enough to serve as warships. However, they were completely wiped out as soon as they entered the void passage. The number of disciples, celestial generals, and divine soldiers they lost is unknown.

If they had known that a fragment of the Earthly Emperor's soul was guarding this place, why would they have gone to such great lengths?

"Our sect has long stated that the handling of this matter should be undertaken entirely by our Celestial Masters Sect."

As Mingwei spoke, her sharp gaze swept across the faces of the group.

"Didn't I say that in front of Master Puxiang back then? Didn't you guys shout that you wanted to join the game and have a match? Now that you've suffered a loss, you're blaming me instead."

"We, the Celestial Masters, pride ourselves on being the teachers and rulers of Heaven, and naturally we are prepared to sacrifice ourselves for righteousness. We know that there may not be any contingency plans left by our predecessors in the secret palace, and we have long been prepared for the annihilation of all of us. However, you all have your eyes on the secret treasures and inheritances in the immortal palace... Since you are coveting the inheritances of other families, then don't blame us for losing our lives."

The conversation turned sour, and another argument ensued.

Guangyuan Tianzun remained silent, completely unconcerned about the quarrel between these juniors.

While the power of the Primordial Demon Lord's single glance was indeed formidable, it was not enough to cause this long-established Earth Immortal to fall from his realm.

Damage to one's foundation can be repaired and one can reach a higher level by returning to the inner palace and undergoing some recuperation.

What truly concerned him was the battle taking place in the tunnel at that moment.

The Demon King Juntian Guangletian appeared, transforming his demon kingdom "Juntian Jiuye" into a demon realm. This demonstrated his formidable cultivation as a Lord of the End of Dharma.

Among them, the Nine Realms of the Heavenly Realm are arranged in accordance with the Nine Laws of Heaven and Man, with the Law of Transcendence at the center, praising the unparalleled transcendence of the Primordial Holy Way, and then the Great Void, Movement and Stillness, Creation, Yin and Yang are arranged in order around it...

Among the divisions, the Yangtian division, where Lingmei resides, is the most vulnerable.

The reason is simple: the so-called "spiritual ignorance" is the fundamental flaw in the Primordial Sacred Path. Even the Primordial Demon Lord possessed very little of it; how much could the Heavenly Music of the Primordial Realm possibly reveal?

This is also his most vulnerable point in the Demon Realm.

However, at this moment, this person threw Bai Ze into it, using this ancient demon god as firewood in a furnace, using his spiritual power to nourish the entire demon realm...

Such a feat is unparalleled; after all, where in the world can you find a few unlucky demon gods to burn as firewood these days?

At this moment, the Demon Lord of Juntian and his demon kingdom are in an unbelievable place.

However, with Bai Ze here as firewood, this secondary demon realm can be described as having strict laws and regulations.

At this moment, Guangyuan Tianzun had stopped his petty thoughts of fame and fortune, and instead began to ponder and observe from the perspective of a celestial being and an earth immortal.

If I were in this situation right now, how would I act, and how would I break free from this demonic realm?

Should we use the methods of movement and stillness to bombard it with magical power, fundamentally crushing its distorted laws? Or should we respond with the methods of creation, altering it once again?
Or perhaps, by using the method of truth and illusion, one could directly target the core of the matter and sever that wisp of demonic thought from Jun Tian Guang Le.
Of course, the stability of the void passage must also be considered. Indeed, since the "Four Dimensions of Heaven" have already been laid out, then this will be the battlefield...

The Heavenly Venerable Guangyuan's thoughts flew by.

However, at this moment, Su Che in the arena felt a true sense of death.

The source of that deathly intent was the Taiyin Emperor.

No, a more accurate description is the Earth Official Emperor.

At this moment, he gazed at the North Star, his entire being exuding an aura of impending doom.

That was the source of the eternal chill, the true meaning that had kept him fighting the demonic intent alone in the secret palace for countless years.

At this moment, he had regained part of his will as the Earthly Emperor and no longer held any hope of survival.

The end is near.

Needless to say, with the return of those primordial elements buried within the Earth Book, which serve as the hub of the Heavenly Court, the Taiyin Emperor, or rather the Zhongyuan Earth Official Emperor, is regaining his awareness as a divided soul of a powerful Earth Immortal.

The original body has perished, and the deduction of the immortal abode has yielded results.

If that's the case, why waste time here?

Everything left behind back then should be recorded in its final form today.

The Earthly Emperor let out a long laugh, causing the Earth Book to tremble and the void to shake.

The vast and boundless lands below also trembled.

That was the radiance emitted when a powerful Earth Immortal burned himself.

The Earthly Emperor stretched out his large hand, and a wisp of eerie light shone from between his sleeves.

The ethereal light multiplied into six, like six shimmering lotus flowers.

The lotus flower arises and fades, giving birth to a pure and true meaning.

That was the final wisp of life, the one that brought everything to its end and ultimately to collapse.

When everything returns to chaos, all the energy that constitutes and sustains existence is finally annihilated, leaving only emptiness and coldness—the end of the laws of creation.

This is also the power displayed by the Earthly Official Emperor burning himself.

"If the Zhou dynasty does not move, the heavenly order will break."

The Earthly Emperor unleashed a wisp of ghostly light.

The Nine Realms of Juntian trembled under the impact, and at this moment, the physical body that the Juntian Guangle Heavenly Demon King had just obtained was cracking inch by inch.

When the laws of creation cease to exist, how can all things sustain themselves?

Not to mention sentient beings, even celestial demons are no exception.

When the law of annihilation descended, the void passage instantly shattered into dust.

"Once a move is made, there's no going back; the game is over."

The Earthly Emperor smiled and, like a wisp of light, vanished into the void passageway.
