While they were in a panic, Shi Hao arrived first and hugged them at the same time. He pushed the two women to the two sides of the broken bridge with both hands.

"Shi Hao?" "Brother Shi?" The two girls flying upwards exclaimed at the same time.

Shi Hao couldn't stop his momentum and fell into the sea of fire. To his surprise, what he felt was not the damage of the flames, but the chaotic demonic energy.

"Be careful!" The two girls who landed on both sides of the broken bridge shouted at the same time.

Shi Hao turned around and saw an exquisite and beautiful rag doll... the Emerald Beauty!

She stretched out her two small hands, with her palms pointed at his head. Suddenly, he felt his whole body shaken, and rolling demonic fire rolled towards him. They poured into his body, and the demonic energy in his body rose, and rushed madly to his dantian.

Oh no, it's going to destroy the foundation of my Taoism! Shi Hao understood this instantly.

But he was unable to move. The golden fluid turned into fluid under the transformation of this mysterious magic palace. The foundation of the magic sect in his body actually rose at this time, constantly breaking through to the extreme.

At the same time, the devil fire was like a poisonous dragon, rolling towards his upper dantian, and his Taoist foundation was being continuously eroded.

The girls on both sides of the stone bridge jumped down at the same time, landing in the rolling devil fire, and rushed towards him. Then, they all screamed and rolled in the flames.

Their bodies were not harmed at all, but the demonic fire turned into surging demonic energy and rushed into their bodies madly.

“Tremble, scream!” The Jade Beauty’s petite body was also filled with demonic energy, but her pretty face was ferocious. “Only those who survive can obtain my inheritance, and those who can’t get through will die. Let’s see who has good luck and who is qualified to survive. You can hate me, but it’s useless to hate me, hehehe…”

Shi Hao felt that many illusions were forming in his mind, and his whole soul seemed to be falling into the abyss.

At the critical moment, he quickly used the Sacred Heart Mirror Method, and suddenly, he pulled himself up, escaped from the sea of fire, and soared into the sky.

"You can't escape!" The emerald beauty whooshed and chased after him. More demonic fire was driven by her and swept towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao ignored it. He raised his head and rushed higher and higher. A ray of moonlight came through the cracks in the mountains.

At the moment when the emerald beauty, with the magic fire like a tsunami, stretched out her little hand and was about to touch him.

The crystal clear stone he took out of his arms was illuminated by the moonlight.

Chapter 112 Full Moon Night, Return to the Cave

The space seemed to collapse in an instant, turning into snowflakes as thin as cicada wings.

Beyond that, there was endless darkness, and he kept falling in this darkness.

Then, blue and purple light came at this time, quickly reorganizing around him. These rays of light seemed to be twisted by a whirlwind, spinning wildly around him, forming a mysterious passage.

This was the third time he entered this place, and only this time did Shi Hao understand the entire process clearly.

As the space is reorganized, the surroundings become illusory and colorful.

A small hand pressed him from behind, and a raging devil fire surged into his body, burning him.

The foundation of his Taoism is about to collapse in this turbulent demonic flame.

The other hand gently grasped him, grabbed him, and slowly brought him down while injecting internal energy into his body.

The cool true energy flowed along his meridians, protecting his upper dantian, and then drove his Taoist internal force to slowly spread out.

A considerable portion of the demonic fire that invaded his body was automatically absorbed by the demonic foundation in his lower dantian. The demonic foundation reached its peak in a very short time, and the hot breath seemed to be about to explode, making him quite uncomfortable.

The true Qi that entered his body decomposed another part of the demonic fire during the flow, turning it into a golden fluid and flowing towards the foundation of his Taoism.

"Your body has been invaded by the devil lotus fire generated by the true dragon energy. If you cannot completely absorb it, it will cause irreparable harm." A cold but gentle female voice sounded softly beside him, "Sit cross-legged and focus your mind on your Dantian. I will help you dissolve the excessive devil fire and turn it to your inner elixir, so as to restore the balance of the Taoist and devilish energies in your body."

Shi Hao sat down hurriedly.

At the same time, a sweet laugh came from the other side: "Hey, isn't this Little Feicui? How did he bring her here?"

"Master, Master?" A tiny, unbelievable voice sounded, and then it turned into a loud cry, "Master!"

There was a sound of flying.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" The laughter was pleasant to the ears. "You are using the soul transfer and the Jade Corpse Technique? No wonder you are still alive. I was thinking that after I leave here, I am afraid I won't see you again. Oh, what did you do to him? Well, this is a demon planted in the body of Taoism. Do you want to kill him?"

That tiny voice said: "Master, he, he is..."

That laugh was like a bell: "He is my man..."

With a whoosh, there was a sound of wind rushing towards Shi Hao, and there were teeth biting hard on Shi Hao's shoulder.

"I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding!" A hand pulled the little man who was jumping on his shoulder away, "He is my...disciple! That's right, he is my disciple!"

"Ah, young master!" The tiny voice suddenly became panicked, "I am guilty and have offended the young master. Please punish me!"

Shi Hao thought to himself, what is going on

A cold, yet rather unpleasant female voice came from the side: "Don't worry about them, calm down and continue practicing!"

Shi Hao quickly concentrated and calmed his mind, and with the help of the woman beside him, he tried to regulate the balance of the two energies in his body.

After a long time, Shi Hao opened his eyes.

The first person I saw was the Shengxuan fairy Ye Ziyin. She was standing gracefully under a half-collapsed white jade pillar, her skin was as white as snow and her figure was slender.

She was dressed in a white Taoist robe embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, which fluttered in the wind, making her seem as if she would take off with the wind at any time and fly to the fairyland outside the world where no one could find her.

No matter how many times he saw her, in his eyes, Fairy Shengxuan was like a fairy who had descended from heaven and did not belong to this mortal world. She was otherworldly and yet extremely beautiful.

On the other side sat the fire enchantress Su Xi, who was wearing a bright red gown with narrow sleeves and a beautiful hairstyle.

She had her hair in a bun and was sitting with her legs crossed, which was a completely different style from Ye Ziyin.

She is charming and beautiful, with a sweet smile, bright eyes and a stunning figure.

She was just sitting there, without any unnecessary movements, but she was like a dancing flame, shining and dazzling, which would attract people even if they were torn to pieces and burned to dust, and they would fall into the uncontrollable abyss of fire.

On Su Xi's legs was still lying the exquisite and beautiful rag doll. The doll was like a child, clinging to her and unwilling to leave.

"How do you feel now?" Su Xi smiled and looked at her, her beautiful eyes full of smiles.

"It seems very bad!" Shi Hao observed himself silently, secretly shocked, "The power of Jujing Liuzhu Jue and Mo Xiao Wuji Gong has increased to the extreme, the upper dantian and the lower dantian are full, but many of them are not cultivated by myself. Although I can barely maintain my balance, I feel like I will explode at any time."

Ye Ziyin looked at him and whispered, "Your feeling is not wrong. It has transformed a large amount of True Dragon Qi into magic fire and injected it into your body. Through a mysterious ritual, it wants you to 'sacrifice' the Tao body in your body.

"But you have been practicing both Taoism and magic from the beginning. Your magic skills have reached the peak due to the influence of the true dragon energy. Once your Taoism foundation is sacrificed, you will die miserably on the spot."

Shi Hao asked doubtfully, "True dragon energy? Sacrifice?"

The emerald beauty flew over from Su Xi's legs, prostrated herself in front of him, and said in a trembling voice: "Young Master, please punish me. I didn't know it was you, the Young Master, who had come. I committed a serious mistake and I deserve to die."

Shi Hao asked: "What will Yue Jiao and Xiao Yan become?"

The Emerald Beauty whispered, "They are undergoing the test of the demon seed. The entire Demon Sect Hall is a ritual of 'Tao Body Seeding Demon'. If they can pass the many tests of the Demon Heart Illusion, they will be able to completely cut off the seven emotions, and thus sacrifice their Taoist inner elixir in exchange for the third day's demon source, and become disciples of the Demon Sect.

"In this way, they can inherit my Night Charm's 'Secret Code' and become the next generation of true disciples of the Evil Lotus Sect. But now, I know that the master has accepted disciples, and the young master is the true disciple of the Evil Lotus. I am ignorant and presumptuous, and I deserve to die."

Shi Hao looked towards Su Xi.

Su Xi spread his hands and said, "The cultivation of demons in the Taoist body is a relatively unique 'demon test'. Generally speaking, the Taoist alchemy and the demonic source of the demon sect cannot be communicated, but there is a mysterious ritual that can force the demonic source into their bodies and devour their Taoist inner elixir.

"This process is accompanied by a terrifying test. If they pass the test, they will be cut off from the past. Past family and love will have nothing to do with them. The Taoist inner elixir becomes a sacrifice to make the magic source more powerful, and can even allow them to quickly break through their skills and directly rise to a higher level.

"But if they can't pass the magic test, they will die miserably on the spot. Little Feicui tricked you into the Red Lotus Demon Palace and put you all in a 'ritual', forcing you to 'plant the devil in your body'. Your situation is special, and you should have died. If the other two girls can pass the magic test, they will be chosen by her as true disciples. If they can't pass, they will die there and won't be able to reveal any secrets."

Ye Ziyin said calmly on the other side: "This is the method of the Demon Sect. Anyone who accepts the true teachings must first destroy the other party's family and make them no longer a burden."

Su Xi said nonchalantly: "That's right, this is the method of our Demon Sect. If you must say, we cut off emotions, and you Taoists destroy desires. No one should say who is greater."

Looking at Shi Hao, he smiled and said, "Of course, we don't really want to cut off the seven emotions, but the Demon Sect has always focused on concealment. The affection outside the Demon Sect may become a flaw that threatens the entire Demon Sect, so we must try to remove it in advance. Unlike the hypocritical Taoist sect, which exterminates human desires and does not want to be a human being, why do they have to become immortals?"

Ye Ziyin said coldly, "Don't distort it and talk nonsense. The Taoists cultivate immortality and are free and unrestrained. Who said they don't want to be human? The immortal path is the path of freedom. Lust and human nature are shackles, but you have to enter before you can get out. If you don't experience it, how can you understand it? It's better than you accepting a child as a disciple, but killing the whole family first."

Su Xi said: "Oh, what you said..."

Shi Hao hurriedly said: "You two, you two... let's talk about the true dragon energy first, what is this?" These two people are going to talk endlessly again.

Su Xi turned to Ye Ziyin and said, "Speaking of the true dragon energy, you have to ask this fairy from Taisu Fairy Pavilion. This was created by these 'fairies'."

There was obvious sarcasm in Su Xi's tone.

However, Ye Ziyin ignored her and looked at Shi Hao, saying: "The universe is vast and full of wonders. Since you know there is the Demon Realm, do you know that there is actually a 'Heaven Realm' outside the mortal world?"

Shi Hao was stunned: "Heaven?" He had never heard of this before.

Although if you think about it carefully, since there is a demon realm, the appearance of the heaven doesn’t seem to be a very strange thing.

Ye Ziyin said: "The heaven is not as great as everyone imagines. It is not the place where immortals live, and there are no so-called "celestial beings". Of course, the heaven a long time ago may not be like this, but the heaven now is more like a ruin.

"Perhaps in ancient times, there really were gods and immortals in heaven. Afterwards, someone unknown happened, leaving behind only a ruin and some strange creatures living in the ruins that were unknown to the world. The 'True Dragon' was one of them."

Shi Hao said: "That is to say... there are really dragons in the universe?"

Ye Ziyin shook his head and said, "The real dragon is not a dragon, but a kind of 'qi'. In fact, the things in the heavens, like the demonic realm, are all tangible but immaterial from the perspective of the mortal world. However, the heavens are high above the mortal world, and their 'qi' radiates to the mortal world, which can have a great impact on the mortal world, so it is also called 'qiyun'.

"In order to put an end to the chaos of wars and misery before the Yang Dynasty, the ancestors of Taisu Xian Pavilion selected a wise leader and summoned a 'real dragon' from heaven with a mysterious and astonishing method. The real dragon descended to the world, formed a dragon vein, protected the wise leader, and helped him unify the world. This wise leader was Emperor Yang Wen.

"Following the advice of the Taisu Xian Pavilion, Emperor Yang Wen built a large city along the dragon vein, which was Daxing City. According to the plan of the Taisu Xian Pavilion, with the protection of the dragon vein, the Yang Dynasty should be able to create a prosperous era with peace in the world and well-being for the people, and maintain its fortune for hundreds of years.

"It's a pity that the ancestors of Taisu Xian Pavilion predicted the beginning, but failed to predict the end."

Chapter 113 True Dragon Qi, Tao Body Seed Demon

Shi Hao said in a deep voice: "As I recall, the Yang Dynasty perished in the second generation."

Su Xi was shaking his legs on the other side and said with a smile: "Yes, it was destroyed by our Xie Lian Sect and Tai Su Xian Pavilion working together."

Shi Hao was stunned: "This..."

Su Xi said: "The Taisu Immortal Pavilion sent down a real dragon and formed a dragon vein, hoping to help the Yang Dynasty create a long-lasting and prosperous era. But even if there is luck, what does it matter? After all, God's plans are not as good as man's plans."

"The second emperor of the Yang Dynasty, Emperor Yang, was not originally a crown prince. In order to seize the throne, he secretly worshipped a master of the magic sect as his teacher. Emperor Yang was naturally intelligent and was very good at forbearance before he became emperor. It was not until he became emperor that he began to reveal his identity as a magic sect. As a result, he was protected by the dragon veins and had good luck. Ha, the fairies of Taisu Fairy Pavilion really shot themselves in the foot."

Ye Ziyin said calmly: "It is impossible to predict everything in the world. The ancestors of Taisu Xian Pavilion just did their best. It is undeniable that the Yang Dynasty did end hundreds of years of war and gave the people a good time to enter a prosperous era.

"Although there was the disaster of Emperor Yang later, the duration of war was not too long."

Shi Hao looked at Su Xi in confusion: "Since Emperor Yang is from the Demon Sect, why did the Evil Lotus Sect and the Taisu Immortal Pavilion join forces to overthrow him?"

Before Su Xi could speak, Ye Ziyin sneered: "The internal fighting of the Demon Sect is more cruel than the fight between Taoism and Demonism. Although Emperor Yang is a disciple of the Demon Sect, he is not from the Evil Lotus Sect. How can the Evil Lotus Sect tolerate this

"What's more, because Emperor Yang was able to ascend to the throne with the help of the Demon Sect, he was even more wary of the Demon Sect. The first thing he did after becoming emperor was to completely wipe out the Demon Sect."

Shi Hao thought about it and felt that it seemed natural.

Su Xi rolled his eyes beautifully, ignoring the sarcasm in Ye Ziyin's tone, and looked at Shi Hao, explaining: "The one who secretly helped Emperor Yang ascend the throne was the Yinhuang Sect, which is also an extremely hidden and ancient sect of the Demon Sect. After Emperor Yang ascended the throne, he dug out the Yinhuang Sect and completely wiped it out, and made every effort to wipe out the Demon Sect, making everyone in the Demon Sect feel insecure.

"Since Emperor Yang wanted to deal with the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect naturally had to resist. The Demon Sect had endless means. Although Emperor Yang at that time had the dragon vein luck to protect him, he was also extremely panicked. At that time, he had already received the true teachings of the Yin Emperor. He did not trust anyone around him, only himself. But as an emperor, how could he have so much time to practice? So, in order to improve himself, he went all out and forcibly held the Demon Sect ritual, leaping several levels in one fell swoop, becoming one of the best masters of the Demon Sect."

Shi Hao pondered and said, "The result of doing this is not going astray?"

Su Xi said, "That's right! The result of Emperor Yang's forced ascension was that his soul was eroded by the evil spirit, and his temperament changed drastically. In fact, although he was vicious, he was smart and good at forbearance. After he was possessed by the evil spirit, he became ambitious, violent and cruel. The more he was eroded, the more he harmed the world and brought disaster to the country and the people."

She smiled and said, "Although it seems inappropriate for us to say something like bringing disaster to the country and the people, the Demon Sect cares about interests. If we control the world, we naturally hope that the world will be peaceful so that we can gain the greatest benefits in a long-term and stable environment. But the Yin Demons are different. They are not from the mortal world at all, so why would they care about the unrest in the mortal world?"

"Emperor Yang was corrupted by the Yin Demon, and his temperament changed drastically. Everything he did was aimed at bringing disaster to the world. However, due to the misdeeds of some self-righteous 'fairies' who were protected by the true dragon's luck, all of a sudden, the Taoist and Demon sects were facing a great crisis, and even the entire human world was in danger."

"At this critical moment, our Xielian Sect and Taisu Xian Pavilion were forced to join hands. This was probably the only time in history that the two sides cooperated. With the cooperation of both sides, we finally succeeded in breaking the dragon vein, ending the destiny of the Yang Dynasty, and jointly killing Emperor Yang."

Ye Ziyin said calmly, "After Emperor Yang died, Taisu Xian Pavilion and Xie Lian Sect naturally became enemies again. Although most of the True Dragon Qi was lost because the dragon vein was broken, a part of it was still suppressed in Longshou Mountain. Only Taisu Xian Pavilion and Xie Lian Sect knew this."

"The two sides once fought for this, but both sides suffered losses during the Yang Emperor's disaster and could not withstand too much trouble. The remaining true dragon energy was not enough to form a new dragon vein. For both sides at the time, what was more important was who could support the forces that would win in the war."

"Therefore, both sides kept the true dragon energy hidden under Longshou Mountain a secret. And both sides have means. If one side wants to use it, the other side will be able to disperse it completely. That is why the true dragon energy has always been hidden under Longshou Mountain."

"However, by now, three hundred years have passed in the human world, and the matter of the true dragon energy must have been leaked, which led to the dispute between the ancestral altar and the Ghost Extreme Sect."

Shi Hao exhaled slowly. He didn't expect things to be so complicated.

The reason for this situation was a "mistake" made by Taisu Xian Pavilion more than 300 years ago.

In addition, everyone knows that the establishment of the Sheng Dynasty is inseparable from the secret support of the Taisu Xian Pavilion in the past.

But no one expected that the establishment and destruction of the Yang Dynasty was also related to the Taisu Immortal Pavilion.

He was moved and said: "This True Dragon Qi is so amazing, what on earth do Guiji Sect and Zutan want to do with it?"

Su Xi smiled and said, "The Ghost Sect is also a rather ancient demon sect. Little Feicui has just told us everything the Ghost Sect has done. Since they are putting their entire sect on the line, it must be related to their purpose. Opening the Ghost Gate and creating a 'human ghost realm' is their ultimate goal. Needless to say, this is self-evident."

"It's that ancestral altar... Well, I remember you mentioned last time you came here that the Barbarian Court was repairing the canal?"

Shi Hao said, "That's right! The Prime Minister of the Barbarian Court doesn't seem to be a fool. He should know that the officials are corrupt and the people are living in poverty. If we force the canal to be built at this time, it will only accelerate the collapse of the Barbarian Court. Even if the canal is really built and the credit goes to future generations, if the law is revised like this, the Barbarian Court will probably be gone by then."

“This is also something that is hard to figure out.”

Ye Ziyin said in a deep voice: "When the dragon vein was cut off and Emperor Yang was dying, he built the canal desperately, and hundreds of thousands of people died in the hard labor. At that time, we thought that Emperor Yang was possessed by a demon and his mind was crazy. Is there any other secret behind this?"
