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

The five-colored celestial realm is boundless, magnificent, and dazzling, with its five-colored rays of light captivating the eye.

Blue, cyan, purple, red, and white—the five colors flow and evolve, representing earth, water, fire, wind, and the birth and death of time and space.

In the realm of the six desires, greed, lust, gluttony, envy, sloth, pride, wrath... these seven emotions and six desires materialize, distorting the void and eroding the mind.

At this moment, these two vast and boundless celestial realms, like two mad dogs, are violently colliding in the void above and below the Azure Inkstone.

Why would the two legendary forbidden zones, the Five-Colored Heaven and the Six Desires Heaven, coincidentally appear at the same time in this ordinary void of the boundary sea where he was hiding?

Why is it that their point of collision, precisely, completely envelops the Azure Inkstone at its center?

"Were these two celestial realms attracted here by the Azure Inkstone?"

Shen Moyan felt it was absurd.

Are these two celestial realms not so different, each possessing its own consciousness?

"I am currently inside the Azure Inkstone, which forms its own space and to some extent isolates me from external perception and prevents the impending crisis, giving me this brief opportunity to deduce the situation. However, if I were to venture out, I would immediately be drawn into the epicenter of that upheaval!"

"The choice is between two heavenly realms: either boundless good fortune or certain death."

"However, the results derived from the 'Record of Auspicious and Inauspicious Causes and Effects' are too vague, and it's unclear which side it's on..."

Having figured out the key point, Shen Moyan calmed down.

Life and death hang by a thread, chance and opportunity hang by a thread!

This is not a simple choice, but a huge gamble!

He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Retreating might ensure temporary safety, but it would mean missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The path of cultivation is inherently about defying fate and fighting against destiny!

"Great fortune reaches the heavens"—such a hexagram has never appeared in the memory of the astrological master.

"Abundant good fortune... I'd like to see just how extraordinary that fortune is!"

Shen Moyan was overwhelmed with emotion. He adjusted his state to its peak, activated the "Scripture of Detachment from All Forms" to its limit, and enhanced his spiritual awareness to the highest level.

But Shen Moyan himself couldn't possibly go out.

He recalled the secret techniques recorded in the "Book of the Beginning Demon".

Demonic incarnation!

This avatar is formed from the user's own will and the Daoist principles of the Five Elements. Although it does not possess the full power of the original, it is completely connected to the original's consciousness and fully shares all perceptions. Furthermore, after the original dies, the original's soul can be transferred to this avatar.

"Using this body to explore the path, even if something unexpected happens, the loss will only be an avatar and a portion of divine consciousness, which is still bearable."

Without hesitation, Shen Moyan sat down cross-legged, held his breath, and began to circulate the "Primordial Demon Heavenly Book".

In the western part of the Purple Mansion, demonic energy surged, and a wisp of pure will separated from the sea of ​​consciousness.

The five aggregates of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness slowly coalesced in front of him.

Gradually, a phantom that resembled Shen Moyan in appearance by seven-tenths, but with a darker and more agile temperament and surrounded by a faint demonic aura, took shape.

Shen Moyan opened his eyes, met the gaze of his avatar, and their consciousnesses instantly connected.

He immersed most of his main consciousness into his clone, leaving only a trace of clarity in his main body, which he stored in the Azure Inkstone to ensure that even if the clone perished, his main body would remain safe and sound.

"go!"

Shen Moyan's true form made a hand seal and completely subsided, his main consciousness returning to the Demonic Avatar, thus gaining control of the Azure Inkstone.

"It seems that wherever my true self resides, the Azure Inkstone will be under my control."

Shen Moyan's mind raced, clearing away all distracting thoughts.

"Which side should we join?"

"The Five-Colored Heavenly Realm, with its majestic and righteous Daoist aura, is related to the five Deities and may be relatively safe. If one has the opportunity, it should be the orthodox path! As for the Six Desires Heavenly Realm, it is filled with demonic energy and is extremely dangerous. Although it is compatible with my demonic arts, it is easier to lose one's mind..."

Having considered this, Shen Moyan, who was already in the demonic incarnation, took a step forward with a solemn expression.

The figure vanished, and the next moment, it appeared in the chaotic void outside!

The moment the avatar appeared, a violent energy surge swept over it!

The collision between the five-colored glow and the fog of desire has reached a fever pitch, and swathes of emptiness are collapsing.

The demonic avatar let out a muffled groan, its demonic energy violently fluctuating, its form becoming somewhat blurred.

He dared not be negligent, and used the Azure Waves Step to its fullest extent. His figure moved like a ghost through the gaps in the energy storm, dodging and weaving, while simultaneously taking the Azure Inkstone into his palm.

Without hesitation, Shen Moyan burned the demonic essence of his avatar and enveloped himself in the Xuanming Azure Flame, rushing towards the five-colored heavenly realm, which was radiant with light and majestic with Daoist charm.

"puff--!"

But the moment the clone arrived at the five-colored radiance, his whole body suddenly became heavy. Shen Moyan's demonic clone was like snow meeting the scorching sun, instantly collapsing and melting away.

"We misjudged! There's something wrong with the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm! This is the place where there's no chance of survival!"

Shen Moyan, inside the demonic clone, was shocked and enraged.

Meanwhile, the Six Desires Heaven, which Shen Moyan had originally judged to be "one of the ten dead," seemed to sense the pure demonic energy at this moment. From the surging demonic energy of desire, a pulling force was actively separated, like a tentacle, to entwine the demonic clone that was about to dissipate.

This force is extremely strange, carrying a greedy absorption and distorted assimilation intention!

The demonic clone was crushed by the five-colored light, and the main consciousness Shen Moyan felt the pull from the Six Desires Heaven. At the moment of life and death, he activated the "Scripture of Detachment from All Forms".

His eyes immediately cleared.

Is the Land of Abundant Fortune the terrifying Demon Realm of Six Desires?

wrong……

Shen Moyan's consciousness jolted.

"Hehe, I see, I see..."

"So, even before my battle with Yi Shukuang, you planted this seed of desire within me?"

What good fortune? It's all nonsense.

The "Record of Auspicious and Inauspicious Causes and Effects" once again deduced that both of these celestial realms were now facing certain death!

"What...such a low tactic!"

Shen Moyan started cursing.

His consciousness was unknowingly influenced by the Six Desires Realm.

Those who play mind games are truly impossible to guard against.

Under absolute rationality, Shen Moyan heard the alluring whispers emanating from the Six Desires Heaven.

Just as he was about to abandon the demonic avatar and return his main will to his original body within the Azure Inkstone, a flash of five-colored divine light appeared in the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm, snatching Shen Moyan back from the tentacles.

In a daze, through Xi Yi's perspective, Shen Moyan clearly saw the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm.

His pupils dilated in shock, for it was a body of indescribable size…

coffin!

The five colors flowed and swirled, lying silently in the endless void, exuding an aura of ancient desolation and eternal annihilation.

With just a fleeting glimpse, that aura almost froze Shen Moyan's soul and shattered his Dao heart!

This coffin is the very essence of the Five-Colored Heaven!

In the very center of the coffin lid sat a figure.

The figure was shrouded in boundless starlight, making its face indistinct. Only its imposing stature could be vaguely discerned, as if it were supporting the four corners of heaven and earth.

He is surrounded by endless stars that come and go, and a long river of time, formed from the birth and death of countless worlds, flows gently around him like a gentle ribbon.

A familiar Daoist aura surged into Shen Moyan's mind, and his expression froze.

"The Starry Sky and the God of Destiny?"

Immediately, Shen Moyan's demonic avatar completely fell into the Five-Colored Heavenly Realm.

…………

I don't know how much time passed; it felt like a fleeting moment, yet also like eternity.

Shen Moyan's main consciousness slowly awoke amidst the violent tremors.

Upon checking himself, he discovered that he was no longer wearing his own blue robe, but a sect uniform of peculiar texture, consisting of alternating shades of blue and gray.

He was in an unfamiliar cave.

"By the way, Qingmingyan, my true self..." Shen Moyan was extremely surprised.

His true form, along with Qingmingyan, remained safe and sound within his soul!

Shen Moyan tried to summon the words I wrote, and his pupils widened in shock.

Name: Shen Baiyan (Mountain and Sea Human Race)

[Real Name: Shen Moyan (Wuxiang Zhenling)]

[Realm One: Peak Golden Core (Immortal Path)]

[Realm Two: Early Stage of Purple Mansion (Taoist Cultivation) (Abnormal Physical Body)]

Current lifespan: 2700 years

[Current Skills: Instant Eternity of Writing (Innate Divine Power), Azure Sun Ascension Technique (Golden Core Realm), Black Sun Concealing Face, Profound Nether Azure Flame, Scripture of Detachment from All Forms (Purple Mansion Realm)...]

"The Azure Sun Ascension Technique? The Immortal Realm? What am I...?"

The moment his divine sense sank into his dantian, Shen Moyan's expression froze.

Within his dantian, there was neither the "Purple Mansion Sacred Court" he was familiar with, nor the core of Daoist essence interwoven with Azure Sun, Demon Seed, Azure Flame, and Black Sun.

Instead, there was a...

Golden Elixir!

"This isn't my body! This is..."

The golden elixir within the body is entirely azure-gold in color, with nine natural Dao patterns on its surface, resembling a miniature blazing sun, containing extremely pure Yang energy.

This is a symbol of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm! Just one step away from shattering the core and forming an infant!

Shen Moyan looked down at his hands. His bones were well-proportioned, his skin was smooth, and there was a faint sword aura around his fingertips.

He tried to recall the memories of this body, but found nothing.

Suddenly, Shen Moyan's robes trembled, and the communication jade slip vibrated.

"All members of the sect, proceed immediately to Ten Thousand Swords Square!"
