In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

"Senior Brother Changqing probably didn't have time to explain, and he wouldn't presume to talk about his teachers."

And what about the five seniors of Qingwei?

The Evil Sword Immortal was, after all, a product of their evil intentions, and their authority was questioned because no one had spoken of it personally.

At this moment, Senior Qingwei did not personally come to see me, which probably means he had already made preparations.

"What preparation?"

Dugu Yuyun felt increasingly confused by Zhang Xiaoshan's words, unable to grasp their meaning at all.

........ ......... 0

As the head of the Shu Mountain sect and a great cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, although he was less than a hundred years old, he was quite knowledgeable, yet he knew nothing about these Shu Mountain secrets.

"Prepare to die!"

what?

Dugu Yuyun was immediately shocked and looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in disbelief.

Zhang Xiaoshan ignored Dugu Yuyun's shock and continued:

"The Evil Sword Immortal was formed from the evil thoughts of five predecessors, therefore they were originally one."

Although I couldn't defeat the Evil Sword Immortal back then, killing him would have inevitably caused the five seniors of Qingwei to vanish like the Evil Sword Immortal, which is why they didn't come out to see me.

As Dugu Yuyun processed the news about Zhang Xiaoshan, a storm raged within him.

Even though he had reached the level of "the highest good is like water," he was still utterly astonished.

"Hard to accept? Actually, it should have ended back then."

To eliminate the Evil Sword Immortal, the sealed magic box must be sent to the Heavenly Pool in the Celestial Realm to purify this evil thought, and many unforeseen events are bound to occur along the way. Moreover, if the Evil Sword Immortal manages to escape, it will inevitably cause a catastrophe in the Three Realms.

Therefore, I sealed the magic box that sealed the Evil Sword Immortal back then under the Demon-Suppressing Iron Pillar, leaving the five predecessors a hundred years.

As for why not leave more time?

"Everything is a sign of impending doom. If I don't act today, the Demon-Sealing Tower will surely crumble once more."

"A descendant of Nuwa!"

Dugu Yuyun's expression changed upon hearing this, confirming what Zhang Xiaoshan had said about the impending calamity.

He has imprisoned Nuwa's descendant in the Demon-Locking Tower and bound her to the Demon-Suppressing Iron Pillar. Once Nuwa's descendant breaks free of the chains, she will surely overturn the Demon-Suppressing Iron Pillar, releasing the evil sword's immortal power beneath it.

Chapter 989 Descendants of Nuwa

"The descendants of Nuwa are destined for their responsibilities from birth."

Let alone a Demon-Sealing Tower, there is nowhere in this entire world that can imprison them.

Once the power of gods and demons awakens, they may seem incredibly weak, but in reality, the power they wield far exceeds your imagination.

"Fellow Daoist, you have a deep connection with the previous generation of Nuwa's descendants; you should be aware of the terrifying power this possesses."

"What you say is absolutely right, senior. It was Dugu Yuyun who acted on emotion."

Dugu Yuyun believed in this power precisely because he knew about it.

Unfortunately, his belief ultimately turned into disappointment!

The descendants of Nuwa, who awakened this power, ultimately could not defeat their enemies. In the end, they sacrificed themselves to suppress the evil demons.

Therefore, Dugu Yuyun brought the descendants of Nuwa here only to preserve the last trace of Nuwa's bloodline.

Why were people born in the 1980s and 1990s arrested as demons?

Not to mention the close relationship between Shushan and the descendants of Nuwa, Shushan wouldn't dare to act recklessly simply because of their identity as descendants of Nuwa.

Although there is a Sanqing Hall in Shushan, Shushan truly worships the Three Sovereigns.

Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong!!

"I understand your good intentions, fellow Daoist."

However, the responsibility of Nuwa's descendants can only be taken by them.

Moreover, if Nuwa's descendants have offspring, once their bloodline awakens, the responsibility will inevitably shift to the next generation.

We cultivators are mostly alone and destitute; the hardships our parents endure are beyond our comprehension. This is why the Nuwa lineage is so great and why their divine power endures forever.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yuyun's expression became even more complicated.

He's a single dog, all alone—that's exactly what describes him.

But because of this, he couldn't help but feel incredibly complicated, realizing that what Zhang Xiaoshan was saying was precisely the greatness of the Nuwa lineage.

"Thank you for your reminder, senior. Dugu Yuyun is a bit obsessed."

However, given the abilities of our predecessors, which can reverse the course of fate and transcend celestial tribulations, I wonder if they could save the descendants of Nuwa?

Immediately, Dugu Yuyun set his sights on Zhang Xiaoshan.

According to the information they collected from Mount Shu, Zhang Xiaoshan has the ability to change the calamities of Heaven.

Now, the protector of the business has reached the end of its hundred-year contract—Bai Suzhen, the Blood Demon who failed to be the one to face the calamity back then, and the Evil Sword Immortal who is now fulfilling the hundred-year agreement.

These were all human catastrophes, but in the end, they were all wiped out by Zhang Xiaoshan.

Therefore, although the tribulations of Nuwa's descendants are difficult, Zhang Xiaoshan may not be without a way out.

After all, who knows what level Zhang Xiaoshan's cultivation has reached in the past forty or fifty years?

"Fine, I'll act depending on the situation."

"Whether they herd one sheep or two, it's the same as herding two. If they encounter a demon too powerful for them to contend with, I will step in and annihilate it!"

After so many years of seclusion, Zhang Xiaoshan had already fused the power of gods and demons. If it weren't for the fact that the nine-colored mist derived from his merits was insufficient, he would have already cultivated the divine power of physical sainthood to its fullest extent.

Even so, dealing with a water monster should be a piece of cake.

"As for Senior Qingwei?"

To survive for a hundred years is a victory in itself.

Otherwise, they would have been scattered to the winds back then, how could they have survived to this day and protected Mount Shu for a hundred years?

After all, the Demon-Sealing Tower could suppress the Evil Sword Immortal for a time, but it could not suppress him forever.

Chunyangzi is currently confident in killing it, but if it reappears a thousand years later, no one will be able to contend with it. At that time, this catastrophe will sweep across the Three Realms and Six Paths, and it will be ten times more terrifying than you can imagine. This will be the true end of the world.

The Evil Sword Immortal embodies malevolent intent; even the descendants of Nuwa cannot contend with him.

The Evil Sword Immortal is terrifying. Right now, apart from him, no one else has any way to defeat him.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan's main objective this time was to eliminate the Evil Sword Immortal.

Moreover, the reason he made the hundred-year agreement was because he foresaw this calamity and the appearance of Nuwa's descendants.

"Thank you, senior."

Evil Sword Immortal?

Even Dugu Yuyun wanted to see what this thing was. It was so terrifying.

According to Zhang Xiaoshan's description, this Evil Sword Immortal is far more terrifying than Baiyue.

After all, Baiyue and the Water Demon Beast have physical forms, but the Evil Sword Immortal is not within the Five Elements and Yin Yang, making him an unkillable being.

···

After leaving the main hall of Mount Shu, Zhang Xiaoshan went straight to the Demon Locking Tower.

Because this was the Demon-Sealing Tower that he had personally sealed, a barrier that was virtually impenetrable to others, Zhang Xiaoshan entered the Demon-Sealing Tower in the blink of an eye.

Five Elements Escape Technique - Earth Escape!

In a single step, he traversed a hundred feet underground, and the instant he stepped out, he was already on the ninth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower!

In recent years, Shushan has declined...

Therefore, there are not many demons on the ninth floor of the Demon Locking Tower, and most of them have already passed away.

After all, the purification power of the ninth level is such that unless it is a thousand-year-old demon king or demon emperor, ordinary demons will not last long and will soon be purified by the Demon Locking Tower.

At this moment, the Demon-Suppressing Iron Pillar, with its several thick chains, was pressing down on a girl with a human body and a snake tail.

Upon Zhang Xiaoshan's arrival, the girl immediately sensed something amiss with the wall and witnessed Zhang Xiaoshan burst through it.

"who are you?"

Her voice was ethereal, and her dreamlike, stunningly beautiful face carried a hint of curiosity, rather than a desire to survive or fear.

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled slightly, took out the magic box he had brought, and placed the abundant food in front of the little girl while explaining:

"I am Chunyangzi, and I am an old friend of your maternal grandfather."

Although Xu Changqing is not Zhao Ling'er's direct blood relative, their three lifetimes of karmic entanglement are essentially one, all belonging to the same person.

"An old friend of my maternal grandfather? You know my maternal grandfather?"

"I know, the twenty-third generation leader of Mount Shu was still alive before I went into seclusion."

But this time, upon emerging from seclusion, everything had changed. Not a single familiar face remained on Mount Shu, and he had to personally see off five highly respected seniors!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling'er was also surprised, never expecting that her maternal grandfather was actually the leader of the Shu Mountain sect.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan's tone suggested that he had been in seclusion for a very long time, and that Mount Shu had undergone tremendous changes.

"What does it mean that the senior is sending off the five seniors from Mount Shu?"

"It's just as you think, but I won't kill them directly. Instead, I'll annihilate the demons you're currently suppressing below—the Evil Sword Immortal!"

Zhang Xiaoshan handed a pair of chopsticks to Zhao Ling'er, and while drinking and grieving, slowly began to tell the story of the Evil Sword Immortal.

Zhao Ling'er didn't suspect anything and started eating.

After a period of simple meals, the sight of such a sumptuous feast naturally whetted their appetites.

After all, someone who could penetrate the ninth level of the Shushan Demon-Locking Tower and force their way here was definitely not a simple expert.

If you wanted to kill her, you wouldn't need to resort to such methods.

As Zhang Xiaoshan narrated his story, Zhao Ling'er felt even greater awe for him, while also experiencing a sense of melancholy and sadness, reflecting on the tragic end of the Five Elders of Shu Mountain.

Chapter 990 The End of the Evil Sword Immortal

"Senior, is this what's under the Demon-Suppressing Iron Pillar?"

Zhao Ling'er looked at the magic box she had taken from under the demon-suppressing iron pillar, never expecting that there was such a terrifying thing under the seat she had been sitting on.

The fact that it could be sealed on the ninth floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower speaks volumes about its threat.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan just explained the dangers of this thing. Once released, it can grow by devouring the evil thoughts of all living beings, eventually wreaking havoc on the three realms and causing immense suffering to all living beings.

This is something that even the divine power of Nuwa's descendants cannot harm.

Because it is formless and intangible, it is not within the Five Elements or Yin and Yang.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have just been sealed away back then.

"Indeed, I sealed it here with my own hands back then. Today, as it sees the light of day again, it is the time when this evil thought will be completely annihilated."

Perhaps sensing Zhang Xiaoshan's murderous intent, the magic box involuntarily trembled and shook.

However, the box was blessed with the power of merit, so after the golden light flashed, it returned to calm.

"Alright, little girl, I've freed you from your restraints."

But it's not appropriate for you to be out now. Wait until your lover arrives on the ninth floor, then you can leave together.

Now is not the time for you to go out.

"Senior, senior..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling'er immediately became anxious.

She knew who Zhang Xiaoshan was talking about, but precisely because she knew, she didn't want the other person to take risks for her.

This is the Demon-Sealing Tower.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoshan, carrying the magic box, turned around and disappeared into the ninth floor.
