Chapter 169 The Jade Emperor's Hidden Name

"Such a huge earth-shattering sound! What exactly happened at Thunder Ancestor Peak?"

"Just now, did I see things? Could that have been Ancestor Dongyun!"

"Absolutely impossible. Let's not even mention the Soul Suppression Palace's array being miraculously outstanding. Even if the Ancestor really broke out of the palace, he couldn't have been..."

"It... it really is the Ancestor!"

Clouds filled the sky above Mount Wudang as old cultivators from various sects and factions arrived on their clouds. They saw Ancestor Dongyun, his demonic aura completely dispelled, lying wretchedly at the foot of Thunder Ancestor Peak, having smashed out a large pit. The surrounding area looked as if a great wind had reversed its course, a meteor had fallen to earth. The vegetation... even the solid mountain rocks had turned direction, all collapsing and falling away in all directions.

"Ancestor!"

The old cultivators lowered their clouds, but dared not approach, because although they could not sense Ancestor Dongyun's demonic aura, that ferocity still existed. They clearly saw a festering, bloodied, and still-growing demonic eye on the old ancestor's forehead. Inside, veins and flesh were churned into a mass, in the middle of which was the half-finished eyeball with a circular outline, straining in all directions while constantly rotating. It looked both evil and bizarre.

"Old Ancestor, can you... can you speak?"

One old cultivator boldly asked, but as soon as he got closer, that demonic eye immediately stared over. The instant he was watched by the demonic eye, the old cultivator felt the demonic thoughts in his heart begin to rise. All kinds of the most vicious desires and thoughts in the human world suddenly came in droves. His pure and tranquil Daoist heart, cultivated for decades, almost broke down. He immediately retreated a dozen steps before suppressing the evil thoughts constantly surging in his heart.

Unexpectedly, this act of retreating seemed to make the demonic eye even more anxious.

It desperately needed someone to approach and be seduced by its heart demon, so that it could quickly recover and escape from the Soul Suppression Palace. It was originally a good thing, but who would have thought it would be beaten into this state by a young Daoist in black robes.

What kind of power was that?

Was that also a demon?!

Why was its sense of ferocity even above its own, yet without the slightest feeling of evil?

It possessed only a huge, ferocious nature and an unparalleled domineering power!

Why... no evil thoughts!

It was absolutely impossible for a demon to have no evil thoughts in their heart, to not be tainted with the slightest bit of evil.

Even the Ten Trial Demons of the human world were chosen from among those demons who acted more restrained. In some places, the position of Trial Demon was vacant, and monsters or ghosts were needed to fill in. The Ten Trial Demons were called demons, but in fact, many were monsters and ghosts, endowed with the demonic energy of the trials and possessing the qualifications for the trials.

This Trial Demon energy often came from the gifts of heaven. It was said that there were eighty thousand Heavenly Demons in Dafuli, corresponding to eighty thousand Trial Demons in the world. This was a fixed number that could not be changed, spreading eighty thousand Trial Demon energies in the world, which could not be increased.

Some of these demonic energies were kept by ancient sects that had achieved success in cultivation in the local area, and given to some monsters and ghosts who had achieved success in cultivation and had never harmed anyone at the appropriate time. After all, Trial Demons were also an option for cultivation. Some Trial Demons and local sects even benefited each other, helping each other for hundreds of years.

However, even Trial Demons could not be without evil thoughts. They could only use the Trial Demon energy to suppress them.

Let alone monsters and ghosts, even people, even gentlemen of integrity, even saints! There would also be evil thoughts, even if it was only for a moment!

No...

The demonic eye realized a problem.

Perhaps it was not that the other party had no evil thoughts.

But that the other party was also a demon, with a position far above his own!

Rumbling—

Thunderclouds descended, and Ji Xiang appeared alone here. Zhang Sanfeng was still on Thunder Ancestor Peak and had not come down, but he was watching what was happening below from afar. After all, Zhang Dayuan's identity still had to be maintained. It was impossible for these juniors on Mount Wudang to realize his identity.

The existence of immortals was the greatest guarantee for a mountain's inheritance. Immortals in the open possessed great deterrence, but they were also easily targeted. Hidden Immortals in the dark, although they did not possess deterrence, were the strongest foundation accumulated by a mountain over hundreds of years.

As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. What's more, there was the imperial court watching.

Zhang Sanfeng did not want to work for the imperial court, so he had been hiding all along. Otherwise, he could have come out during the Ming Taizu or Ming Chengzu periods. What would have been the point of Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao?

The imperial court had conferred so many titles on him. If he was exposed, he would really have to drink and get his hair permed for the Ming Dynasty for generations. This kind of thing should not happen. Someone intervened in secular disputes in order to obtain benefits. The Hidden Immortal Sect did not want to do this, so they stayed away.

Staying away might not be a way to gain favor from the Heavenly Dao, but the Way of the Dynasty had always existed, and it was the path that people had always pursued and was closest to.

Thump!

Ji Xiang's footsteps landed in front of Ancestor Dongyun. The demonic eye instantly stared at Ji Xiang, but its power could not affect the Daoist in black robes in front of him. It was still difficult to sense the other party's evil thoughts, let alone seduce his heart demon.

Not only that.

On the contrary, an extremely violent demonic power came from the other party!

At the same time, those old cultivators were also watching this scene, their minds shaken.

Wasn't this the Daoist from the Tongwei Sect who had entered the royal family!

"Is... is that the kid who just came up the mountain a few days ago?"

"The Directorate of Taoism... this kid really has such power? But Ancestor Dongyun is a Pure Yang realm cultivator!"

The old cultivators felt that their eyes were going to fail. They actually saw an unbelievable scene. A Pure Yang cultivator was the pinnacle of the human world, the foundation of various mountains, but now he was beaten to the point where he could not get up from the ground. The earth-shattering sound just now only happened once. This guess made them even more horrified.

One strike? Maybe not! But it didn't take many moves!

In the demonic eye, the blood and flesh tangled together inside the eye socket began to fester again, turning into pus that flowed out, dripping onto the ground. If a monster drank a drop of this pus, it would immediately turn into a demon king of slaughter, into something like a demon.

"Sedation of the heart demon is naturally impossible."

"Humans, gods, ghosts, and demons all have heart demons. That is the demon aspect of the human body, the master of desire, the incarnation of evil thoughts in the heart, and an insurmountable obstacle. However, demons themselves do not have another demonic aspect."

Ji Xiang walked over slowly. The demonic energy of the demonic eye had been dispelled. Finally, under Ji Xiang's gradually approaching pressure, it manipulated Ancestor Dongyun to speak, issuing a threat.

"I am a demonic obstacle."

"This person is your ancestor. If you kill me, he will also die. Now we are fused together, inseparable from each other. I am the thing he raised."

"Even the flesh and blood have rotted and turned into black charcoal. Even if the demonic energy is swept away, it cannot restore him to his original appearance. Do you want to deceive your master and destroy your ancestor!"

Ji Xiang shook his head: "No, you don't have to lie to me. You are not a demonic obstacle."

"You... are something born from the Qi of Black Blemish, a demonic blood placenta born from it. After you take shape, you will become a new demon."

"A demon that has never appeared in the world before, not among the ninety external paths, or the one hundred and eighty-three types of demons."

Ji Xiang slowly stated the other party's identity: "Starting with the demonic obstacle, like a parasitic insect egg, grafting the Qi of Black Blemish onto a Pure Yang body, and someone is helping you pour in the ultimate demonic power, making the ancestor forcefully cultivate the Heavenly Demon Technique, forcefully see the location of the Heavenly Dao, his spirit collapses, for you to erode and devour, and finally achieve a Pure Yang demon. This demon feeds on the demonic thoughts in people's hearts. Anyone who is moved by the demonic thoughts you incite will be infected and, within twenty-one days, will fall into evil spirits and demons to be driven by you. However, these demon-infected people are no different from ordinary cultivators."

"Your origins... well, let's skip that for now."

Skipped because this section was smeared with black, and most of it could not be seen.

Ji Xiang's eyes flowed with dark light, and he blinked slightly.

Yes, most of it, but there was still a small part that could be seen. However, it was a bit interesting. This guy's existence was related to Yuanhuang. However, the one who let it enter Ancestor Dongyun's body, and even forcibly gave the ancestor the demonic power, forcing him to touch the Heavenly Dao and become confused, was someone else!

Just like the suddenly appearing Song Shen Heavenly King, a mysterious figure, seemed to have a thousand ties with the Yin World, and also had an inseparable relationship with Yuanhuang, but they were not the monsters they released.

【Evil Ghost】.

The only name seen was this extremely ordinary term. The other information that could be seen was that it was related to Yuanhuang.

Related to Yuanhuang, then it must be related to the Yin World.

"Locust Demon, let's not mention the evil ghost you planted in the ancestor's body, but you..."

"When I remove you, your name will be on the Heavenly Demon Record, and you will be listed as the one hundred and eighty-fourth of the demons."

Hearing this, the demonic eye was greatly shocked!

"Who are you, to actually know my origins! Could it be that you are a leader of a certain sect in the Yin World!"

"Who are you! Yama? King Reincarnation? Zhong Kui? Dongyue? Or Manjusri, Ksitigarbha, or the like?!"

The demonic eye was terrified!

However, although the Inner Vision Divine Tablet could see clearly, there were still many blurry places, covered by black bars. Most things that had a deep connection with the Qi of Black Blemish were like this, and Ji Xiang was used to it.

If he couldn't see it, he couldn't see it, as long as there was a solution.

"You don't have to worry about who I am, it has nothing to do with you, after all, you are about to die."

The demonic eye wriggled, fearful and threatening: "What are you going to do? What do you dare to do!"

"Hehe! Let me tell you one more thing! Even if you dig me out of his body, it's useless! The eye is just my external manifestation. Now your ancestor is like a pupa. You know, when insects turn into pupae and then into butterflies, there is no flesh inside the pupa, but a mass of soft, rotten water."

"To be reborn from this rotten water, reshaping your body! Your ancestor still has a primordial spirit. If you kill me, his primordial spirit will no longer exist!"

"And I will not die! Those who have been to the Soul Suppression Palace all have the demonic thoughts that I have aroused in their hearts! If you destroy this body, I can also use other demonic thoughts to be reborn and continue to gestate! You can't catch me! You can't destroy me either!"

"Let me go, and after I successfully gestate, I will no longer infect the power of outsiders. I will become an independent existence and integrate into your world as a human..."

"I also have an existence that I want to get rid of. I went through a lot of hardships to come into the world! My appearance is allowed by the Heavenly Dao! Look, the Heavenly Dao has not sent down any tribulations!"

The demonic eye shouted loudly, afraid that those cultivators would not hear it. Sure enough, the old cultivators of Mount Wudang, the leaders of various sects, all looked horrified when they heard this, and some looked embarrassed, and even more looked anxious, shouting at Ji Xiang:

"The Imperial Dao kid from the Tongwei Sect, don't fall for its tricks and harm the ancestor's life!"

Some were worried about Ancestor Dongyun, but others said:

"Although what the demonic eye said may not be true, the ancestor's body has indeed been demonized, and there is no possibility of saving him. It is better to..."

It would be best to let the ancestor die!

"That's how it should be!"

Someone looked gloomy: "Ancestor Dongyun has been demonized for more than two hundred years, and cannot eliminate his own wisdom. Now his body has been stolen by demonic obstacles and will be transformed into the flow of demons. If we don't kill him now, when will we?"

"If we don't kill the ancestor, and the world suffers disaster in the future, I'm afraid the cultivators of the world will attack our Wudang!"

Many people agreed with this statement.

"The demonic fetus has been formed, and there is no turning back. Why wait if we don't kill him?"

But some angrily opposed: "How many people have entered the Soul Suppression Palace and been seduced by their heart demons? If what this thing said is true, even if we get rid of it now, it will not be destroyed, but will just find another person to repeat what happened to Ancestor Dongyun!"

People's minds were changing, and of course some people thought that if they didn't kill him, Ancestor Dongyun could hold on for a few more years, at least he wouldn't let himself randomly become a container for this kind of demon. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

There were many voices of contention. Ji Xiang remained unmoved. After all, even if a robot were to perform a scenario deduction, it might be able to give three options, let alone complex humans? Whether it was for righteousness, or for their own safety, or for the reputation of Wudang, they all had their own arguments.

Ji Xiang was as deaf as a post, and said to himself:

"Don't worry about what outsiders think. Only I can do the ability to subdue demons. I will listen to their opinions, but they are not important."

"So, killing you will indeed cause the ancestor's flesh and soul to be annihilated together, but this is also not important."

"I'm going to start."

Ji Xiang's words made the demonic eye stunned!

Not important? Letting your ancestor's flesh and soul be turned to ashes, that's not important?

Then what is important!

"The demonic energy on your body is strong. You are indeed not a cultivator from a true sect. Then come on, let me see if you can really destroy me!"

The demonic eye was angry and arrogant, and did not believe that Ji Xiang had the ability to completely destroy himself, who had never appeared in the world. This was absolutely impossible!

Ji Xiang nodded, and then took out a blank talisman.

The incense energy ignited on his finger, and words appeared on the blank talisman paper, but these words were very strange, not words that existed in the world, and even the Confucian scholars could not recite them.

They did not know its pronunciation, nor did they know its reading method, and even its writing method was seen for the first time.

What kind of words were these?

When the demonic eye saw these words, it was also puzzled. However, when the talisman was pasted on its eye socket, its will seemed to be locked by something in an instant, and it could no longer sense other demonic thoughts!

This!

What was going on!

Rain. Words. Net. Words. King.

At this time, the three corpses small gods appeared on Ji Xiang's shoulders and the top of his head, and began to chant the incantation with Ji Xiang.

As the pivot of creation, the master of gods and men—

Proclaim power in the Three Realms, command all spirits—

Share the glorious virtue of Yang in the two extremes, and nurture the world in the six unions—

The majestic Red Emperor divides his form, and the illustrious Dan Spirit transforms his body—

Able to dissolve all sins, subdue all demon spirits—

Protect the endless Heavenly Fortune for trillions of kalpas—

Great compassion, great vow, great saint, great mercy—

Great compassion, great vow, great saint, great mercy—

The four voices were extremely harsh, but the distant cultivators could not hear them clearly. Only the demonic eye could hear them clearly, as if something was holding it, suppressing all its power and preventing it from being used.

This is...?

The thing composed of those four words.

Is the Hidden Name of the Jade Emperor!

When using it, gather the divine proclamations of the star lords of the North and South!

The Jade Emperor was now pasted on the ceiling by Zhang Tianshi. Although it was just an empty shell, the basic power still existed, but Ji Xiang himself did not know the Hidden Name of the Jade Emperor until the Inner Vision Divine Tablet displayed it.

But the Heavenly Emperors did have hidden names. Reciting the hidden name could unleash all kinds of incredible powers, but it could not be used indiscriminately, otherwise it would be backfired.

The demonic eye was controlled. Immediately afterwards, Ji Xiang stretched out his hand, and a spell that had never been used before was about to be activated.

Because he had not yet cultivated to the Primordial Spirit realm, this method was temporarily useless, but he did not expect that it would be activated at this time.

"I have a method that can reverse the bodies of destruction and the bodies of doom in the world!"

He pressed a palm outside the talisman, touching the demonic eye through the talisman.

In Ancestor Dongyun's body, a large amount of human essence, the undamaged essence blood, and the untainted parts of the primordial spirit all suddenly went against the grain at this time!

Humans use their bodies as countries, gods as rulers, essence as ministers, and Qi as people. Qi turns into essence, essence turns into gods, and gods turn into infants.

In full view of everyone, the decayed, charcoal-like body suddenly shattered. A large amount of essence surged, gathering at one point, and the demonic eye also dried up and withered violently in an instant, making an extremely panicked sound!

"My consciousness, my thoughts, my demonic will... I... I am... I..."

"You."

Its consciousness was disappearing, reversing, and dissolving into the primordial spirit! And due to the suppression of the Hidden Name of the Jade Emperor, it could not transfer to other demonic thoughts. In fact, it was gradually degenerating!

"Just as you said, before feathering, it must be like rotten water, but when the rotten water surges, the new things created may not be the same."

In full view of everyone, the black body was destroyed, and the cry of an infant sounded in the world.

The invisible thing, with the help of the only remaining substance in the remaining body, was reorganized, so that an infant the size of a palm, like a ginseng fruit, was born into the world.

But this was no ordinary infant.

"This... what kind of spell is this!"

The Wudang cultivators were stunned, watching everything reverse with their own eyes, the dead returning to the state of infants. And someone had already thought of something at this time, their beards trembling. An old cultivator stepped forward tremblingly and said in horror:

"This... could it be. Primordial Infant!"

The Primordial Infant was invisible, just a sacred fetus before the birth of the primordial spirit. It was not a specific cultivation technique, but a state.

That Primordial Infant was the pupa before the birth of the primordial spirit!

Ji Xiang: "The Dao Machine Scripture, reverses the primordial spirit, returns the essence Qi, transforms into an infant, this is the Primordial Infant Technique."

"The infant is unharmed, and will return to the Heavenly Gate!"
