Immortal Dao is dead, I am the mastermind behind it all.

Luo Changting had a dream.

He dreamed that he was once a disciple of an immortal lineage.

The Six Hells Demon Sect is a notorious and infamous entity from the ancient mountains and seas.

He was sent by his sect to this remote and secluded place in Langya Prefecture to carry out a secret mission.

As for what the mission was, he couldn't remember due to the sect's secretive methods to prevent soul searching.

He ventured into the Yin-Yang Cave and discovered that there was a vast ocean underground!

After a brief exploration, he discovered that there was a hidden array in the sea.

After visiting the area multiple times, he learned that there were ten key points in the array that could transfer water elements, causing the sea to fall from the sky and cover the entire Langya Prefecture.

As a sect that existed since the ancient times of immortality, he clearly saw the mechanism of the array deep within, and the ancient wutong tree that was about to break through the soil.

All spirits are buried together, and all living beings refine their spirits.

Someone wants to use the lives of an entire state to refine a Nascent Soul Dao Fruit! A Nascent Soul Dao Fruit that can grant instant ascension to the heavens!

Furthermore, that person colluded with the demon race, sparking a war between humans and demons!

Unfortunately, just as they learned the truth, they encountered their nemesis sect, the Biyang Sword Sect, whose swordsmen were from the Biyang Sword Sect.

He fought him, and both were severely wounded and died tragically.

On the bed, Luo Changting suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of scarlet light passing by.

"Possession of a remnant soul? Or reincarnation?"

On one half of his face, three pairs of narrow eyes gradually elongated, and a ferocious horn slowly emerged from the shadows.

"Hey bro, wake up!"

"I put the steamed buns I bought on your desk, remember to eat them."

The sound of Luo Hanchan fading away came from outside the door, and all the strange phenomena around them subsided. Only then did Luo Changting's expression return to normal.

Luo Changting's entire body transformed into a wisp of black mist and dissipated.

On the rooftop, a body formed from demonic energy materialized, holding a steamed bun in his left hand, overlooking the entire small town.

Luo Hanchan has already gone backstage to help out at the opera troupe. Since recovering from her illness, she has been actively giving back to everyone in the troupe.

"No, I am still me, Luo Changting is still Luo Changting."

Luo Changting took a bite of the bun. The sweetness of the red bean paste filling eased his mind slightly.

Besides dramas, he had also read strange tales and knew about how cultivators possessed other people's bodies.

My situation is far too complicated.

"I am not a disciple of the Six Hells Demon Sect, I am just Luo Changting."

Luo Changting remained true to himself, severing ties with the ambitious demonic cultivator from his previous life.

"The end of Langya Prefecture is imminent, and Father and Xiao Chan will surely be affected."

"Even if it's a deal with the Heavenly Demons, we must keep them away from this place of trouble."

The crimson in Luo Changting's eyes gradually faded, replaced by the boy's unique dark complexion.

"And we must act discreetly, so that the Demon Suppression Division cannot find me."

"During this period, I must seize all the opportunities from my previous life and raise my strength to the point where I can participate in the great war."

The new branches are heavy with frost, and a cold wind blows. Luo Changting stands atop the towering building, secretly making up his mind.

…………

"An unexpected yet predictable reaction."

Outside the city, high in the sky, Shen Moyan looked at Luo Changting, whose face was gloomy, and was very satisfied with his performance.

After gaining power, instead of abandoning his family, he prepared to lie low for several years and secretly cultivate.

They lacked the arrogance and complacency of nouveau riche, nor did they blindly believe themselves to be invincible; instead, they kept their skills hidden.

As expected of the person he chose, his character is so admirable.

Shen Moyan, through the firefly's six senses, probed into Luo Changting's deepest thoughts, and his expression froze.

"Good lad, you actually have such a bold idea."

"You want to seize the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit?"

Shen Moyan asked in surprise.

Just as she was about to scoff at his overestimation of his abilities, her expression froze, and she stopped talking.

"No, if he were truly willing to risk his life and trade his soul with the Heavenly Demon, he might be able to do so through the rituals of the 'Primordial Demon Heavenly Book'..."

Unlike immortal lords, celestial demons are not difficult to summon.

A clear ritual, a simple offering, and a devout prayer are enough.

Shen Moyan dared not risk his own life as a sacrifice, and only dared to use the Magic Gourd for the transaction.

Because the Heavenly Demon is no benevolent being, it could be an existence superior to the Nine Songs Immortal Lord.

Shen Moyan still vaguely remembered that even with the great power of the Nine Songs Immortal Lord to convey the Dao through literature, he still couldn't understand the contents of the Heavenly Demon Transformation Technique back then.

"At that time, the Immortal Lord's Dharma Image and the Heavenly Demon will descend..." Recalling the Immortal Lord's Dharma Image that Jiang Qingshui summoned at that time, Shen Moyan's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I really want to see what the upper limit of the Heavenly Demon is."

"Luo Changting, don't let me down."

Shen Moyan smiled coldly, spread his five fingers towards the small town, encompassing all living beings in his palm.

…………

Two months later, in Yu'e County.

After careful consideration, Shen Moyan finally gave up on going to Kongsang County.

The reason is simple: with Gao Sheng, that cunning old fox who's good at divination, everything he wants to do is restricted at every turn.

Using the business card from the Chamber of Commerce provided by Cen Bolang, he successfully joined the Cape Chamber of Commerce.

There, Shen Moyan used the remaining spirit stones he had to successfully gather enough materials for the paper doll.

"Shen Yi, Shen Er... Shen Wu."

"Now I can remotely control five clones with my mental power."

Five small paper figures stood in Shen Moyan's palm. As long as enough magic power was poured into them, they could transform into clones the same size as himself.

"Shen Yi, go to Kongsang County to stay behind. If there is an opportunity, contact Jiang Zhi Qiu and subtly inform him of Yan Zhenjun's plan."

"Shen Er, disguise yourself as a student and go to Yu'e Academy to study."

"Shen San, get the Nine Songs Seal, go work for the Holy Court and earn spirit stones."

Shen Moyan poured ninety percent of his magical power into the three paper doll clones he had prepared, leaving two as backups.

Three days later, in Yu'e County, the inter-state teleportation array.

The pedestrians around were all different, dressed in strange and unusual clothes.

Occasionally, cultivators would cross the light gate, traverse space, leave Langya Prefecture, and head to other prefectures.

"Hey, have you heard? Cangwu Prefecture is about to fall."

"The Holy Court's Guardian Division was utterly routed, its collapse like a torrent."

"Fortunately, the teleportation channel to Cangwu Prefecture no longer has those complicated procedures, so everyone can go to the front line."

"Hmph, if you ask me, it's all the fault of the governor of Cangwu. The governor himself ran away, so how could the locals resist?" a passing cultivator said indignantly.

"This Holy Court is becoming more and more corrupt."

"Shh...keep your voice down, are you crazy?!"

While listening to the conversations of the cultivators around him, Shen San concealed his aura to the extreme.

They only dared to reveal Xuanming's magical power, not daring to expose even a trace of Biyang's magical power or demonic energy.

Just kidding, revealing even a little bit would make you an enemy of the whole world.

The immortal lineage is seen as a walking achievement by these Holy Court cultivators.

As Shen Sanyao gazed at the magnificent teleportation array, preparing to complete the formalities, his mind suddenly triggered a violent alarm.

"No, if I have to go through the procedures to verify my identity, my demonic powers will definitely be exposed."

The real Shen Moyan, far away, was troubled.

It seems we can only pin our hopes on the Cape Merchants Association's smuggling efforts.

With that thought in mind, he immediately set off to find Cen Boliang.
