Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

At the confluence of the Nine Realms and the World Sea, a phantom passage unfolded in the void. Mu An and the Old Celestial Master stepped out from it one after another, returning to the territory belonging to the Nine Realms.

As soon as the two figures appeared, a continuous stream of heaven and earth power converged from all directions of the Nine Realms, and the authority of heaven and earth lingered beside them, further strengthening their power.

Having grown accustomed to the blessings of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, staying in the Spirit Blooming Realm always brings an indescribable sense of emptiness.

Now that I have regained this power, this feeling of emptiness has also disappeared.

The old celestial master pointed at the world below, and the illusory paths gradually solidified in the void, further perfecting the seal on the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram.

Gazing at the Taiyuan Emperor sealed deep within the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram, the old Celestial Master uttered this sentiment.

"Avatar upon avatar, the will of the Nine Netherworld Demon Abyss split into nine true demons, and the nine true demons further split into true immortal powerhouses like Emperor Taiyuan... The body is the world, and the world is the body. Such a method is truly divine."

Upon returning to the Nine Realms, the Old Celestial Master lost the urgency he had shown in the Nine Netherworld Abyss and calmly began discussing topics related to the will of the Abyss.

Although the Nine Realms are far less vast than the Nine Netherworld Abyss, and their strength is far less than that of the Nine Netherworld Abyss, and although the Old Celestial Master has yet to replace the Heavenly Dao, he is not worried at all that the Nine Netherworld Abyss would dare to follow their trail.

Long, long ago, the Old Master understood a principle.

The Nine Realms may not have much else, but they have the most monsters, and they hold far too many secrets.

On this land, anything strange can be accepted without question.

Although the will of the Demon Abyss is incredibly powerful, it's really not enough to compete on the grand stage of the Nine Realms.

The old master had no doubt that if the will of the Demon Abyss truly dared to invade the Nine Realms, its final result would only be to become a dish on the dinner table, to be beautifully devoured.

Even after living in the Nine Realms for over a thousand years and being the number one in the world for over a thousand years, the Old Celestial Master still couldn't figure out what the Nine Realms were all about, or why one powerful figure after another would be setting up their schemes there.

In this small Nine Domains, one extraordinary powerhouse after another has emerged, and they all appeared in the same era. If this is just a coincidence, the Old Celestial Master would never believe it.

However, due to limitations in knowledge and ability, they can only let things develop in the direction most favorable to themselves.

……

Putting aside the complexities of the Nine Realms, the operation went surprisingly smoothly, and the results far exceeded the Old Celestial Master's expectations.

In the old Celestial Master's initial plan, they should only be able to obtain some information, and at most take some longevity treasures, before being discovered by the will of the Demon Abyss and expelled from the Nine Nether Demon Abyss.

But now, gazing at the Taiyuan Emperor, who was sealed by the Yin-Yang Chains and layers of great formations, the old Celestial Master felt a long-lost joy.

After adding dozens of seals to Emperor Taiyuan, the old celestial master said to Mu An.

"Does the True Lord believe that the nine True Demons in the Abyss are aware of the truth—that they are merely incarnations?"

Mu An thought for a few seconds and then shook his head.

"Whether they know it or not, it doesn't matter. The existence of the Nine Nether Demon Abyss is too special. Whether the True Demon knows it or not, it won't change anything."

"Indeed." The old celestial master nodded in agreement. "To be able to transform into other worlds and feed on them, the power of the Nine Nether Demon Abyss far exceeds my expectations. Such profound methods are worth learning."

When the old celestial master mentioned wanting to learn about the Nine Netherworld Demon Abyss, Mu An's expression changed for a moment, as if he had some different views on the Nine Netherworld Demon Abyss.

The old celestial master noticed the change in Mu An's expression immediately and asked.

"But is there something wrong with it?"

Standing at the edge of the boundary, Mu An cast his gaze down at the world below. Mu An didn't actually have a very clear judgment about the Nine Nether Demon Abyss; it was mostly speculation.

But even if it's just speculation, there's at least an 80% chance.

Looking down at the Nine Realms, Mu An murmured, as if asking the old Celestial Master a question, or perhaps stating in the calmest of statements: "Having merged with so many wills, is the Nine Nether Demon Abyss truly still the same being from the beginning?"

"Is it normal that a powerful being, at least at the Golden Immortal realm, didn't react at all after his avatar met us?"

As the person in the Nine Realms who had the deepest understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the Old Celestial Master understood Mu An's meaning immediately and followed suit.

"Does the True Lord mean that the Nine Netherworld Demon Abyss cannot maintain rational thought? Or rather, that His will is actually constantly repeating the process of birth and destruction, constantly changing in a cycle?"

Combining Mu An's words with what he had seen in the Spirit Realm, the Old Celestial Master had already made his judgment.

The world is not eternal, and neither is the world's will; over the long course of time, the world's will will also change.

It was at this moment that the Celestial Master noticed that Mu An's gaze did not seem to linger on Emperor Taiyuan, but rather looked towards the vast world below.

This direction? Tian Sheng Mountain? Why are you suddenly looking towards Tian Sheng Mountain?

With his thoughts racing, the old master remained expressionless. He raised his hand and took the Yin-Yang Taiji diagram into his grasp, continuing the previous topic.

"This official has been temporarily sealed away, and can be studied at a later time. However, the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram is ultimately not a treasure for trapping enemies. I wonder where the True Lord thinks would be a more suitable place to seal him away?"

Pulled back to reality, Mu An didn't really care about the existence of Emperor Taiyuan. He probably wouldn't get anything useful from this incarnation of an incarnation.

He was now more concerned about the Heavenly Sacred Mountain and the cycle of reincarnation than about a True Immortal who was of little use.

Mu An had always believed that since the cycle of reincarnation had been shattered, even reincarnation could not carry the original memories. However, a fleeting glimpse in the Spirit Realm made him realize this.

Reincarnation seems to be different from what he had previously imagined.

If one can retain complete memories, refine the soul while ensuring its integrity, and reconstitute the physical body, then reincarnation might not be such a bad thing.

Countless thoughts flashed through Mu An's mind, so much so that he didn't pay any attention to the old master's question and instead answered directly.

"Fellow Daoist may find a place to seal it yourself; I have other matters to attend to."

Such a casual attitude made the old master have some guesses. He could roughly guess what Mu An wanted to do, but in the old master's eyes, it was just a meaningless thing.

What one thinks in one's heart is one thing, but a mature old master like him naturally knows what is more advantageous to himself.

Standing in the void, the old celestial master lightly waved his whisk towards the world below. As a faint light appeared in the void, a phantom map of the Nine Realms appeared before the two of them.

As the light swirled, the Starfall Continent was magnified countless times, and a bottomless canyon came into view.

"The Starfall Continent is still deserted. Even if something goes wrong, this messenger can be turned into resources to revitalize the continent... I believe that is the best place to seal it."

"Can."
