The Central Demon Lord's incarnation encounters trouble in the West Continent, leading to its capture by the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor. Tu Ming is revealed to be the youth on the bridge. Meanwhile, Chen Mobai captures Chi Lei after defeating Little Thunder Immortal. Pure Wind True Monarch purifies Chi Lei's Heart Demon, but Little Thunder Immortal intervenes before executing him. Chi Lei and Sun Qingxue are confirmed to have practiced demonic cultivation, implicating the Pure Palace.

Over the vast ocean, the Central Demon Lord retracted his gaze and made a clicking sound with his tongue.

"What troubles you?" True Lord Tianling inquired.

"Merely a minor inconvenience, one of my incarnations has perished," the Central Demon Lord responded with an air of indifference.

"Then let us delve into more significant matters; my time is rather constrained," True Lord Tianling stated, cutting directly to the chase.

The Central Demon Lord gave a nod, and behind his head, a radiant crimson disc ascended. His aura, previously an unsettling illusion, shifted into one of savage violence, his very pupils flashing with crimson light.

"The Asura Disk!"

Upon witnessing the appearance of the gleaming red disc, Tu Ming's suspicions solidified.

His ghost fetus had been concealed within the Jie’e Sect in the Western Continent, a place he believed to be undiscoverable. However, decades prior, he was found by Chi Lei, who was then possessed by the Central Demon Lord.

His discovery stemmed from his acquisition of a potent magical treasure that had journeyed from beyond the heavens.

This artifact was none other than the Hell Disk, one of the revered Six Paths Child Plates.

It was through the power of this artifact that Tu Ming managed to evade the body-snatching attempts of the Western Demon Path Lord, instead absorbing his peak demonic Qi and successfully returning to the Deity Transformation Realm.

Following the Hell Disk's acknowledgment of him as its master, the Central Demon Lord also located him.

This was due to the Central Demon Lord’s possession of the Asura Disk, another of the Six Paths Child Plates.

These two discs had been meticulously crafted by formidable demonic path cultivators in ancient times and had since been transported from the Tianhe Realm to the outer reaches of space.

However, during the recent epochal shifts within the world, these ancient demonic cultivators made attempts to return, projecting their magical treasures back into existence, one by one.

Among these, the Hell Disk found Tu Ming, who resonated most strongly with its power, and consequently merged into his Sea of Knowledge within the Purple Mansion.

Conversely, the Asura Disk was brought to its current state by the Central Demon Lord through supreme demonic cultivation.

In theory, Tu Ming's Wheel of Reincarnation should have been capable of roughly sensing the locations of the Six Paths Child Plates.

However, it had been lost after being severed by Yuan Qingque.

Now, the Central Demon Lord, through his terrifying transformation achieved via demonic cultivation, was able to sense the positions of the other discs scattered throughout the Tianhe Realm with the aid of the Asura Disk.

The Hell Disk, residing within Tu Ming, responded to the magnetic pull of the Central Demon Lord’s Asura Disk, autonomously emerging from his forehead. It then transformed into a dark, profound jade disc, intricately divided into eighteen segments.

As the two significant discs materialized, a bone-like, grayish-white disc floated out from the basket secured on True Lord Tianling’s back.

This righteous deity had journeyed here specifically because the Animal Disk was in his possession.

This particular child disc possessed the ability to continuously purify the bloodline of any true spirit, guiding it back to its ancestral form until it reached its innate state. It was through the power of this Animal Disk that the Nine-Headed Great Saint of the East Continent achieved Cultivating Void in the Tianhe Realm.

Upon the Nine-Headed Great Saint’s demise, the Animal Disk returned to the custody of the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect.

However, to evade detection by the Heavenly Emperor, subsequent deity transformations from the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect refrained from utilizing this powerful child disk.

Even True Lord Tianling only became aware of this secret when the previous generation's deity transformation from the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect passed away.

In the interest of maintaining absolute secrecy, the art of refining the Animal Disk was never passed down.

True Lord Tianling acquired the sacred refinement method for this Six Paths Child Plate directly from the Central Demon Lord.

It was with the assistance of this very Animal Disk that True Lord Tianling’s Kui Beast began showing signs of ascending to the sixth rank. The advancement of his bonded spirit beast offered a glimmer of hope for his own cultivation realm, which had remained stagnant for centuries, to progress.

Not long ago, True Lord Tianling received a communication talisman from the Central Demon Lord, extending an invitation to convene at sea to deliberate on the matter of reassembling the Disk of Life and Death.

Had it been any other proposition, True Lord Tianling might have cautiously declined such a meeting with the Central Demon Lord.

But the Disk of Life and Death, once fully restored, would evolve into a seventh-rank supreme treasure.

This artifact represented a fundamental supreme treasure of the Tianhe Realm, wielding dominion over the cycle of life and death.

True Lord Tianling’s Kui Beast, a Thunder True Spirit, possessed Illusory Thunder that was intrinsically linked to the Great Dao of Life. If he could master the Great Dao of Life, bolstered by the power of the Disk of Life and Death, achieving the Cultivating Void realm would be all but a certainty.

This compelling prospect was the very reason for True Lord Tianling's presence here today.As the Animal Disk emerged from the satchel on his back, it synchronized with the vibrant Asura Disk and the shadowy Hell Disk. Instantly, beams of distinct colors flared from the East Continent and the Central State, converging with the three disks held in hand. Together, they coalesced into a colossal, spectral disk that spanned the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, encompassing all life and rotating in perpetuity. The seventh-rank Disk of Life and Death, it turns out, is a manifestation of this world's profound Dao of life and death. This supreme Dao governs the cycle of rebirth across the six realms of existence. By mastering the Disk of Life and Death, one can transcend the boundaries of mortality, shatter the chains of reincarnation, and attain eternal life, even without reaching the Harmonization realm. To reconstruct the Disk of Life and Death, aside from the Six Paths Child Plates, the crucial component was the Wheel of Reincarnation formerly possessed by Tu Ming. He had acquired it after his descent into Huangquan, from the Nether Dragon, one of the Nine Ghost Mother's progeny, deep within the Netherworld. It was at this precise instant that Tu Ming finally grasped the truth. He understood that bringing the Wheel of Reincarnation to the mortal realm was intended to reassemble the Disk of Life and Death. East Continent, Tongtian Peak. Ye Qing, who had been immersed in meditation, suddenly altered his expression. With a flash of Sword Light, he rapidly ascended to the highest level of the Tongtian Refining Road Tower. Ni Yuanzhong was already present. The two Deity Transformation experts of the Nine Heavens Morality Sect observed the Wheel of Reincarnation positioned at the tower's zenith. It suddenly emitted a faint yet profound and enigmatic beam of light, piercing straight into the heavens. The Tongtian Refining Road Tower, a Sixth Rank Artifact, proved utterly incapable of obstructing or concealing this radiant beam. "Indeed, someone endeavors to shatter the cycle of reincarnation and recall that being long departed." A commanding Dao voice echoed, and a supreme divine radiance materialized within the resplendent Star River, formed by the condensation of Immortal Spirit Qi at the tower's apex. It coalesced into the form of a Taoist, with unkempt hair, bare feet, and clad in a dark robe. "We pay our respects to you, Master Ancestor!" Ni Yuanzhong and Ye Qing, upon beholding the Taoist, immediately performed a solemn and respectful obeisance. "No need for such formalities. We, along with the Heavenly Emperor Taixu True King, altered the Great Dao's regulations. Our initial focus was reincarnation, necessitating the restructuring of the Disk of Life and Death. Reincarnation stands as one of the foundational cycles of the Great Dao, originally under the Ghost Mother's dominion. However, she brought ruin upon herself by coveting the Creation Dao Fruit belonging to the Mother of Water, leading to the shattering of her True Spirit." "Nevertheless, an existence like hers could potentially resurrect from past reincarnations, even amidst death and Dao collapse. The Nine Sons of the Ghost Mother seek to exploit the world's monumental shifts to facilitate the Ghost Mother's return and regain control of the life and death cycle." "To accomplish this, their primary objective is to gather the Disk of Life and Death. The Wheel of Reincarnation resides within your grasp. The Heavenly Path Disk was long ago dispatched to the Purple Cloud Heavenly Palace by the Heavenly Emperor, and it has been integrated with the Human Path Disk in the Qianqiu Pen and Ink Forest. Only the Asura, Hell, Evil Ghost, and Animal Child Disks remain." "It now appears that the Ghost Mother's agents within the Tianhe Realm have secured at least three segments of the wheel and have initiated the process of summoning and locating the remaining components of the Disk of Life and Death. Soon, Tongtian Peak will confront an unparalleled calamity. I also intend, by capitalizing on the reassembly of the Disk of Life and Death and the manifestation of reincarnation, to advance my own Acquired Great Dao..." Following the pronouncements of the Demon Vibration Ancestor Master of the Nine Heavens, both Ni Yuanzhong and Ye Qing were struck with astonishment. They had never conceived that the Wheel of Reincarnation, left behind by Yuan Qingque, held such profound secrets. "Rest assured, Master Ancestor, even if we perish in battle right here, we shall never permit those nefarious Demon Path scoundrels to seize the Wheel of Reincarnation." Upon hearing their resolute declaration, the Demon Vibration Ancestor Master offered a nod. Then, extending his right hand, he pointed towards Ye Qing's Tai Peacekeeping Sword. A Xuan Guang entered the blade, causing the Sixth Rank Sword to resonate with a clear hum. Simultaneously. Within the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion, Chen Mobai gazed with a grave expression at the Evil Ghost Dao Child Plate, which had suddenly emerged from his Storage Bag. This artifact, after falling into his possession, had served only the purpose of condensing Terrestrial Evil Qi. For the most part, it lay dormant at the bottom of Chen Mobai's Storage Bag, nearly forgotten.

Even with his cultivation level, he found himself unable to quell the faint, clear light emanating from the Evil Ghost Dao Child Plate, a phenomenon that undeniably signaled the involvement of Seventh Rank power.

A suspicion began to form in Chen Mobai's mind as he recalled the origins of this peculiar Child Plate.

"What is happening?" Qing Nu immediately inquired, having noticed the subtle blink of light from the Evil Ghost Dao Child Plate before it vanished.

After a brief explanation, Chen Mobai dispatched a Message Talisman to Su Ziluo, summoning her without delay to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.

Fortunately, the Evil Ghost Dao Child Plate had only emitted a transient beam of light and quickly reverted to its dormant state. Chen Mobai then secured it within his Storage Bag.

[What if I were to return this Child Plate to the Xuanhu Dojo?]

This thought suddenly crossed Chen Mobai’s mind.

The Sea of Lands.

The Central Demon Lord observed four distinct beams of light appearing in the distance, nodding in satisfaction. "Two in the East Continent, and two in Central State... as expected."

"Could it be that Yuan Qingque did not take the Wheel of Reincarnation to the Immortal Realm?" Tu Ming mused aloud, his gaze fixed on a faint, profound light beam originating from the East Continent.

Even after his defeat at Yuan Qingque's hands, Tu Ming retained some contacts on the East Continent. These contacts had reported that Yuan Qingque had not departed with the Wheel of Reincarnation when ascending with his disciples from the battlefield, a detail that now appeared to be a clever deception.

"The Wheel of Reincarnation is paramount; let us first deal with the Nine Heavens Morality Sect," the Central Demon Lord declared.

"The Nine Heavens Morality Sect is well-established, and with the presence of other Holy Lands in the East Continent, their eradication might prove challenging," True Lord Tianling analyzed calmly upon hearing this.

"Why not address the easier targets first before moving to the more difficult ones?" Tu Ming proposed, his thoughts drifting to the Evil Ghost Dao Child Plate.

This particular item brought to mind an unresolved matter from his past.

In bygone days, he had placed immense hope in the most formidable Ghost Fetus, nurtured with the Primordial Body. This powerful entity had met an inexplicable end within the Ruins.

Subsequently, his duel with Yuan Qingque had left him with no time for a thorough investigation.

Later, he learned of Su Ziluo's affiliation with the Five Elements Sect, which theoretically linked them to the incident. However, Tu Ming refused to believe that his most potent Ghost Fetus had been defeated by the then-Nascent Soul stage Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor.

Within the same cultivation Realm, Tu Ming's Ghost Fetus was considered invincible.

But now, the truth was on the verge of being revealed.

The individual in possession of the Evil Ghost Dao Child Plate was, in fact, the one responsible for its demise.

He was now resolved to uncover the true mastermind behind it all!
