The Central Demon Lord and True Lord Tianling meet to discuss the reassembly of the Disk of Life and Death. They reveal their respective Six Paths Child Plates – the Asura Disk and the Animal Disk. Tu Ming, revealing his Hell Disk, realizes his reincarnation abilities are being manipulated for a larger plan. Meanwhile, at Tongtian Peak, a supreme ancestor explains the significance of the Wheel of Reincarnation and the looming threat of the Ghost Mother’s return. Chen Mobai also detects activity from the Evil Ghost Dao Child Plate in his possession.
Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.
As Chen Mobai was conversing with Su Ziluo, his expression shifted drastically. Gazing upward, a fiery streak streaked across the sky before transforming into a Treasure Bead and vanishing behind his head. This marked the return of the Second Primeval Spirit from the West Continent.
With a casual wave of Chen Mobai’s hand, the two offspring of the Mysterious Water materialized in his palm. Shortly thereafter, Qing Nu arrived, having been alerted to the situation.
"Should we inform Yi Yuan Dao Palace of this, or shall we await Mysterious Water’s return to let her relay the news herself?" Qing Nu inquired, cradling the two infants with a touch of sympathy after hearing the entire account.
"Notify Chen Lingming. Instruct him to speak with Lian Shui," Chen Mobai commanded. Having already bestowed the Primordial Dao Fruit, all associated matters concerning Yi Yuan Dao Palace were now delegated to Chen Lingming’s purview.
He remained uncertain whether Lian Shui would react with anger or joy at the prospect of two new nephews.
Qing Nu nodded, summoned Gu Yan, and departed with the children, intending to conduct a thorough examination and devise a suitable treatment strategy.
Following this, Chen Mobai and Su Ziluo discussed the ongoing situation involving the Tongyou Demon Sect and Ming Zun.
His personal entanglements were now minimal; most threads had been passed on to his disciples. The remaining connections pertained to Deity Transformation True Monarchs, which he continued to manage himself.
Among these was the thread concerning Ming Zun. Despite achieving Divinity Transformation twice and subsequently falling to the Yi Yuan Dao Body and Yuan Qingque, this leader of the Eastern Demonic Path proved resilient, much like a centipede that refuses to stiffen even in death. As long as his lifespan had not concluded, with the potent essence of Divinity Transformation, he could potentially reclaim his status among the Tianhe Realm's elite.
This time, when the Evil Spirit Dao Child Plate showed activity, Chen Mobai observed that his connection with Ming Zun had intensified, transitioning from a faint trace to a vibrant glow.
This indicated that the time had come to sever this particular thread.
Furthermore, eliminating a Divinity Transformation cultivator from the Demon Path would facilitate the advancement of his End of Destiny Great Dao.
The Pure Yang Scroll, a technique he had practiced throughout his life, was deemed ready for a trial against the Devil Cultivators of the Tianhe Realm.
On a particular day, Ye Qing sent word of his desire for a visit.
Chen Mobai readily agreed, welcoming his close comrade to the Yellow Dragon Cave Mansion.
"Brother Chen, it is possible that my Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect will soon face a significant calamity, and I may require your assistance," Ye Qing stated directly after being seated, referencing the Disk of Life and Death.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was profoundly astonished, finally comprehending the reason behind his Evil Spirit Dao Child Plate’s unusual reaction.
He had not anticipated that the stirring was related to the impending reassembly of the Disk of Life and Death.
This implied that numerous powerful figures from the Upper Realm were keenly observing these developments.
The realization sent a shiver down Chen Mobai’s spine as he pondered whether his possession of the Evil Spirit Dao Child Plate had long been within the awareness of others.
An image of the enigmatic old man he had encountered at the Beidou Conference surfaced in his mind without any apparent cause.
"The most critical component of the Disk of Life and Death is the Wheel of Reincarnation, currently held within the Tongtian Refining Road Tower. As the Generation Emperor and other esteemed Great Abilities of the Immortal Realm engage in altering the Great Tao Rules, the principles of life-and-death Reincarnation will be utilized as a Dao marker, manifesting tangibly in the mortal world."
"During this process, the Wheel of Reincarnation will, in turn, summon the Six Paths Child Plate sequentially, thereby reconstituting the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Subsequently, due to the intricate interplay of the Three Thousand Great Dao, when the Great Dao of Innate Life and Death emerges, other Innate Great Daos will also be drawn forth and embodied, making them more accessible for comprehension. The Ancestor aims to leverage this opportunity to elevate his own Great Dao to the level of Innate Tai Chi."
"However, the Ancestor has accumulated numerous mortal enemies, and the influential figures from the opposing Sects will undoubtedly seek to thwart his progress. The most straightforward method is to seize the Wheel of Reincarnation, as the Great Dao surrounding it becomes exceptionally potent and reachable during the Disk of Life and Death’s reassembly."
Having learned the crucial details from Ye Qing, Chen Mobai finally understood the formidable power of the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor. This ancestor was a Seventh Rank True Immortal, having successfully fused the Acquired Two Forms Great Dao. It was revealed that if this opportune moment could be seized to elevate the Two Forms into the Innate Tai Chi, the ancestor's might would ascend to the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm's Great Abilities.
This level of power was surpassed only by the Generation Emperor and the recently returned Taixu True King.
Furthermore, considering the limitations of the Generation Emperor's Pure Yang Realm, and the potential transcendence and departure of the Taixu True King after this tribulation, the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Ancestor, upon proving the Innate Tai Chi Path, could even contend for the prestigious title of the number one Daoist Monarch in the entire Immortal Realm.
It was for this exact reason that the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect would commit all their resources to suppress the Wheel of Reincarnation.
"Given our shared friendship, this matter falls under my purview, and I will absolutely lend my aid," Chen Mobai declared without a moment's hesitation, offering his immediate agreement.
In the vast Tianhe Realm, his circle of friends was small, and Ye Qing stood out as the most cherished among them.
Beyond that personal connection, the unwavering integrity that permeated the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect from top to bottom garnered Chen Mobai's profound respect. He genuinely believed the Tianhe Realm desperately needed more Sects embodying such principles.
"Many thanks to you!" Ye Qing conveyed his deep gratitude with utmost sincerity.
"Do you have any knowledge of which Demon Path adversaries will be launching this assault?" Having pledged his assistance, Chen Mobai began to gather intelligence on the opposing forces targeting the Nine Heavens Demon Vibration Sect in this impending conflict.
"The Asura Disk was previously acquired by the Central Demon Lord. Its acquisition enabled him to attain the Asura Sky Demon form. His power is so immense that even Taixu Immortals have sustained setbacks against him; it's evident he has fully refined this potent Magic Treasure. Moreover, it is highly probable that this Demon Lord has already comprehended the Void Refining Realm, intentionally suppressing his cultivation level to remain within the Tianhe Realm."
"In addition to the Asura Disk, the Hell Disk was also among the Magic Treasures that descended from beyond the domain during this event. Historically, it was the Magic Treasure belonging to the Black Rope Demon God; its current whereabouts among the cultivators of the Side Sects remain unknown."
"The Evil Spirit Disk is believed to be situated within the Netherworld of the Underworld, but the Nine Ghost Mother's offspring will undoubtedly devise a method to transport it to the Tianhe Realm. As for the Animal Disk, it has been missing within the Tianhe Realm for a considerable duration, but due to its innate affinity with Demon True Spirits, it is likely in the possession of one of those potent True Spirits."
