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

"it's over."

The head of the madman rolled off, his soul dissipated, and the Xuanming Azure Flame still burned fiercely on the remains.

Only a faint trace of the demonic soul, carrying the last resentment of Yi Shukuang, attempted to escape, but Shen Moyan, having anticipated this, activated the Azure Inkstone to suppress and seal it.

Silence returned to the Qingming Inkstone.

Shen Moyan was slightly out of breath, his face pale. Continuously using his innate divine power and expanding his domain had placed a tremendous burden on him.

But feeling the more harmonious magical power within his body and the deeper control over his own domain, this battle was worthwhile.

The Xuanming Azure Flame burned, slowly absorbing the pure energy left behind by Yi Shukuang and Baili Ming, which was then purified into demonic essence and purple mansion origin, replenishing Shen Moyan's own mana consumption.

"The power of cause and effect... truly unpredictable."

The deadly move that Yi Shukuang unleashed before the timeout was over was unavoidable, and now, apart from the final blow, he couldn't think of any way to deal with it.

"If I hadn't held back, the outcome would have been uncertain."

Shen Moyan bent down, looking at the crushed pieces of the paper figure, still feeling lingering fear.

I never imagined that there was a causal supernatural power in this world that could restrain the supernatural power of time.

The mountains and seas are teeming with talented people; they are truly figures not to be underestimated.

"This duel was truly exhilarating and exhilarating; I'll probably never forget you for the rest of my life."

Shen Moyan sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing to recover.

A month later, Shen Moyan finished his meditation, and his magical power was restored to about 70-80%, and his aura became more and more refined.

He walked to the place where the mark of the Demon Soul of the Unbridled Mind was sealed.

Yi Shukuang is dead. As is customary, after his death, the traces of his existence naturally turned into demonic seeds.

But this demonic seed was different; it emitted an ominous dark red hue.

"This is... Moge?" Shen Moyan's eyes flickered as he recalled the scattered records in the "Book of the Beginning Demon".

A Demonic Element is different from a Demonic Seed. Only those who condense a "Demonic Element" can be called true "demons," which is the embodiment of the Heavenly Demonic Path. Yi Shukuang, as a true disciple of the Six Hells Demonic Sect, possesses an extremely high-quality Demonic Element.

From Xi Yi's perspective, the Daoist aura emanating from it was telling him about supreme supernatural powers.

"If we can analyze this demonic element, it will not only greatly benefit the refinement of the demonic energy within my 'Purple Mansion Sacred Court,' but may even offer a glimpse into the essence of that Demon Lord's cultivation techniques..."

Shen Moyan held his breath and was about to reach out to grab it when he suddenly pulled back.

He circulated the "Sutra of Detachment from All Forms" and his eyes regained their clarity.

"That was close...that was really close..." Shen Moyan slowly opened his eyes, without a trace of emotion.

"I was almost seduced by the magical aura emanating from it."

Just now, this demonic energy stirred up Shen Moyan's thirst for power, attempting to lure him into directly grabbing the demonic energy.

"With my current strength, directly contacting this thing is far too risky."

Shen Moyan's expression was serious.

The Grand Master Yin He, who was at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, was easily replaced by Yi Shukuang.

Shen Moyan's eyes were icy cold. He raised his hand and made a grasping motion, using the Xuanming Azure Flame to create a sealing talisman. He imprisoned the struggling demonic seed and sealed it into a specially made jade box, reinforcing it layer by layer.

Such demonic arts are so unpredictable that they must never be allowed to have any contact with the outside world or one's own mind.

Shen Moyan mobilized the Xuanming Azure Flame and slowly refined the demonic element within the jade box.

The Azure Flame can purify, slowly transforming this demonic energy into a safe Daoist aura.

Mogg trembled slightly in the flames, resisting fiercely.

From Xi Yi's perspective, Shen Moyan used his divine sense to carefully piece together and gather these fragments, attempting to extract valuable traces of Daoist principles from them.

However, the Daoist aura emanating from this demonic entity was complex and profound, far surpassing ordinary cultivation techniques. Each wisp of Daoist aura was like a living thing, full of aggression.

Shen Moyan exerted all his strength to continuously burn away its will to resist with the Xuanming Azure Flame, and only by using his own understanding of the "Primordial Demon Heavenly Book" as a guide was he able to barely capture and interpret the information within.

If this continues, with careful deduction and time, one might be able to glimpse some of its mysteries.

"Too slow..."

Several hours later, Shen Moyan's forehead was covered in a fine sweat, and he sighed inwardly.

To analyze this complete demonic entity from the perspective of Xi Yi without being replaced would require at least a hundred or even a thousand years of painstaking effort.

He couldn't help but recall the vast amount of Daoist wisdom contained in the remnant soul of the Celestial Master he had killed, which was related to the divination of heavenly secrets and the divination of stars. He had only been able to analyze two or three tenths of it so far, and had only just begun to obtain the secret method "Record of Auspicious and Inauspicious Causes and Conditions". His progress was very slow.

"Never mind, let's go out first."

"I wonder if I can contact the people of the Celestial Bureau from this realm of the sea I am in..."

Shen Moyan was feeling slightly tired and was about to leave this azure space to return to the void of the boundary sea and find the way back to the mountains and seas.

However, just as he was about to escape from the Azure Inkstone, an unprecedented and deadly warning swept over his entire spiritual senses like a tsunami!

My heart pounded wildly, my brow throbbed, and a piercing scream emanated from the depths of my soul!

Extremely ominous! A situation with no chance of survival!

Shen Moyan's expression changed drastically, and he retreated rapidly, suppressing the thought of leaving. He subconsciously raised his magical power to the limit, and the Xuanming Azure Flame flickered on his body as if facing a formidable enemy!

"What's going on?!"

He was horrified.

This warning sign is far stronger than ever before!

It was as if the moment one stepped out of the Azure Inkstone, one would be annihilated, leaving not even a trace of one's soul behind!

Shen Moyan immediately activated the "Record of Auspicious and Inauspicious Causes and Effects" at full power, calculating and deducing with his fingers, trying to discern the source of the crisis and a glimmer of hope.

However, the divination result collapsed violently as soon as it appeared!

The feedback was chaotic and contradictory, ultimately only condensing into two vague yet distinct images in the mind's eye:

On one side, there is an endless, deep darkness that devours everything, representing absolute death and the end, a place of certain death and no hope of survival!

On the other side, there was an extremely dazzling seven-colored auspicious light, containing incredible creation and opportunity, and boundless good fortune!

Two possible outcomes coexist in the deduction, each with a 50% probability! There is no transition, no warning; it's either life or death, or death or life!

"How is this possible?!" Shen Moyan was shocked, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

How could the Record of Auspicious and Inauspicious Causes and Effects deduce such extreme hexagrams?

Is it that my deduction is flawed, or that I haven't learned it well enough?

The external situation has undergone a dramatic change in a very short time, which means that if he goes out now, he will either face certain death or encounter an opportunity that is once in a lifetime!

Shen Moyan narrowed his eyes and took out a sheet of Xuan paper.

The magic of paper cutting to create a human figure.

He cut out several simple paper figures containing his own divine imprint, endowing them with the most basic abilities of teleportation and communication.

Furthermore, the paper figures were divided into batches, each probing out of the Azure Inkstone from different directions and at different speeds.

"I want to see what's out there."

Shen Moyan did his best to maintain the spiritual connection with the paper figure.

But just as they went out, the paper figures vanished one after another, and the divine sense feedback was intermittent, like a candle flickering in the wind.

In the instant before the paper figure vanished, the shattered and distorted yet incredibly clear images and perceptions rushed into Shen Moyan's sea of ​​consciousness.

All that could be seen was the blue inkstone.

Above, there is an endless expanse of five-colored rosy light, flowing with the Daoist principles of creation and annihilation.

Below, a surging, turbulent, seven-colored mist filled with endless temptations and decadent desires.

These are the Five-Colored Heaven and the Six Desire Heaven!
