Bonus Chapter :D
...
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, sixty years had gone by.
Deep within the vast western desert, there lay an ancient and eerie mysterious relic.
"This should be it."
"According to Celestial Master Zhang's description, this should be the site of the original Demonic Sect from back then."
"Quick, go inform Celestial Master Zhang."
Dozens of martial artists from the martial world explored this place and were filled with excitement. The robust man in the lead quickly gave orders and stood guard in front of the relic.
"It's said that this site will change its location with the shifting earth veins. Every period, it will move to a different place; otherwise, it wouldn't have taken so long to find."
Next to the robust man, a slightly dark-skinned man spoke in a low voice.
After a short while, a figure wearing Daoist robes appeared at the site, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Celestial Master Zhang."
Seeing him, the robust man immediately stepped forward respectfully.
"Greetings, Celestial Master Zhang."
The others also saluted.
When facing this seemingly ordinary Daoist, everyone involuntarily felt immense pressure. This was because Celestial Master Zhang was undoubtedly the most ruthless among all the Celestial Masters in the history of the Celestial Sect.
In the past, Celestial Masters from the Celestial Sect did go down the mountain to eliminate demonic forces, but it usually lasted for a few years. However, Celestial Master Zhang had been eliminating demons for a full sixty years.
Up to this day, many once-arrogant demonic leaders had become legends, and the two words "demonic path" were the most dreaded in the world.
And all of this was because of Celestial Master Zhang.
With his own power, Celestial Master Zhang had killed so many demonic leaders that no one dared to call themselves a demonic leader anymore.
Someone had secretly calculated that in the sixty years of his demon hunting, there were probably hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of demonic leaders who died at his hands.
"This is the place."
Lin Yuan carefully examined the relic, confirming that it was the site of the original Demonic Sect from the past.
As the force that could contend with the first-generation Celestial Master six thousand eight hundred years ago, the original Demonic Sect could be considered the source of all demonic entities in the world.
If Lin Yuan wanted to truly eliminate all the demonic forces in the world, he would undoubtedly have to deal with this relic.
However, the site of the original Demonic Sect was not fixed in one location; it constantly changed. Therefore, Lin Yuan, using the name of the Celestial Master, mobilized martial artists from all over the world and finally locked onto the location today.
"I'm going in."
"You all should leave as soon as possible."
Lin Yuan glanced at the robust man and the others and spoke.
"Yes."
The robust man immediately responded.
"Celestial Master Zhang, this site is very dangerous; you must be careful."
The robust man hesitated for a moment but still spoke up.
He admired Celestial Master Zhang very much. During Lin Yuan's sixty years of demon hunting, although the world couldn't be described as completely peaceful, it was much calmer than before.
The robust man's grandfather often told him that sixty years ago, demonic leaders were rampant, often collaborating to capture and devour people, practicing demonic techniques.
"I understand."
Lin Yuan nodded and then walked straight into the relic.
Outside the relic, the crowd soon began to discuss.
"Is that Celestial Master Zhang? He looks quite young."
"Young? Celestial Master Zhang was twenty years old sixty years ago, and now he's eighty."
"Can't imagine the Celestial Master? I heard that every generation of Celestial Masters can live over two hundred years."
The people discussed in hushed tones. After all these years, Celestial Master Zhang had already become a "legend." Compared to the Celestial Masters of previous generations, Celestial Master Zhang had hunted demons for the longest time. Therefore, his reputation was more profound, and even the Emperor of Da Yu showed respect when meeting Celestial Master Zhang.
Over these years, Celestial Master Zhang had commanded heroes from all over the world, relying on what? Did the heroes listen obediently? It was his absolute strength.
Although Celestial Master Zhang had always only killed demonic leaders, the definition of a demonic leader depended entirely on Celestial Master Zhang himself.
Even if you practiced orthodox cultivation techniques and had never harmed anyone, if Celestial Master Zhang deemed you a demonic leader, you were considered one, and he could kill you.
"Alright."
"Let's go."
"Since Celestial Master Zhang told us to leave, he must have his own considerations."
"Even though the original Demonic Sect has disappeared, its relic is not to be underestimated. Celestial Master Zhang is fearless, but we are not Celestial Master Zhang."
The robust man immediately spoke with seriousness.
Upon hearing this, the others shuddered and quickly followed the robust man, distancing themselves from the area.
Inside the relic of the original Demonic Sect,
Lin Yuan strolled leisurely, and an invisible Tai Chi aura extended around him, covering a radius of one hundred meters.
Within this hundred-meter radius, it was as if observing the details on the palm of one's hand, every inch clear.
Sixty years ago, when Lin Yuan attained the position of Celestial Master, he became invincible in the world, surpassing all previous Celestial Masters.
Now, after sixty years, even Lin Yuan himself found it challenging to determine his current level.
Throughout these sixty years, while Lin Yuan was engaged in demon hunting, he possessed unparalleled insight. Whether in seclusion or demon hunting, he was constantly gaining enlightenment and practicing.
Before becoming a Celestial Master, Lin Yuan stayed on Mount Longhu not only because his strength was not unmatched, and going down the mountain involved certain risks.
Another reason was that he hadn't fully comprehended the True Martial Arts collection on Mount Longhu yet.
After achieving the position of Celestial Master, even if he didn't hunt demons, Lin Yuan wouldn't continue staying on Mount Longhu. He would travel the world to comprehend the heavens and the earth.
Inside the dark and eerie relic,
Lin Yuan moved forward as if unaffected by the gloomy atmosphere, heading towards the deepest part of the relic.
Before long,
Lin Yuan saw a massive altar.
The altar displayed a black-red color, and faint traces of blood seemed to linger on its surface.
"Hehehe."
Just as Lin Yuan looked at the altar, a deep and majestic voice echoed.
On the surface of the altar, countless blood energies formed into a blood-colored figure.
"So many years have passed, and the True Martial lineage has finally produced another Celestial Master."
The blood-colored figure gazed at Lin Yuan, chuckling lightly.
"Who are you?"
Lin Yuan asked.
"Who am I?"
"You can call me the Original Demonic Spirit."
The blood-colored figure's tone rose, slightly madly saying.
"Original Demonic Spirit?"
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you not from this realm?"
Ever since obtaining the True Martial Sword, Lin Yuan had speculated that it originated from another world.
Because the power of Yin and Yang within the True Martial Sword, even Lin Yuan himself couldn't achieve it now, let alone the Celestial Masters of previous generations.
The Celestial Master was the ceiling of this world. If the Celestial Master couldn't achieve it, it meant that no creature in this world could.
Now that Lin Yuan saw the Original Demonic Spirit in front of him, he became more certain of his guess.
The way the Original Demonic Spirit manifested just now had already surpassed the mundane. Combined with its tone, it was likely to have existed six thousand eight hundred years ago.
"Hahaha."
"This generation of Celestial Master does have some insight to recognize the origin of this Demonic Spirit."
The blood-colored figure glanced at Lin Yuan, "But since you've come in, the person chosen by this Demonic Spirit has probably died at your hands."
A hundred years ago, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect accidentally entered the relic. Guided by the Original Demonic Spirit, he obtained part of the inheritance of the original Demonic Sect, causing a bloodbath in the world.
This was not an isolated case. Every few hundred years for the past six thousand eight hundred years, scenes of chaos in the demonic path would occur, most of which originated from the hands of the Original Demonic Spirit.
"Speak. What do you want by coming here to find this Demonic Spirit?"
The blood-colored figure stood in the center of the altar, asking with interest.
It had been lonely for too long. The last time it saw a living person was a hundred years ago.
"I plan to attempt to destroy you."
Lin Yuan did not conceal his intentions.
He commanded heroes from all over the world to find the relic of the original Demonic Sect in order to completely end this source of all demonic entities.
Without the relic of the original Demonic Sect, even though demonic leaders might appear in the next few hundred or thousand years, they would not pose a significant threat.
"Hahaha."
"Want to destroy me?"
"How arrogant!"
"Before you, more than twenty Celestial Masters have found this place."
"Among them, the first Celestial Master of this world, who received the inheritance of the True Martial Arts, also came. Why do you think I'm still here?"
The blood-colored figure chuckled, suddenly bursting into laughter.
"Yin."
"Yang."
Lin Yuan didn't continue speaking but, with a slight thought, he drew upon the power of Yin and Yang between heaven and earth, pressing down towards the altar.
Boom!
The black and white colors transformed into a gigantic Yin-Yang millstone, intending to crush the altar, causing the entire relic to tremble faintly.
Under the pressure of the Yin-Yang millstone, the blood-colored figure retreated a few steps, and the vivid red hue of its figure dimmed slightly.
"At the same time controlling the power of Yin and Yang, relying solely on these means, you want to surpass all the Celestial Masters of the True Martial lineage in this world, including the first Celestial Master who received the True Martial Arts inheritance."
"However, with just these, you still can't destroy me."
The blood-colored figure's tone returned to calmness, and blood energies surged around the altar again, continuously replenishing its consumption.
"Condense."
Lin Yuan manipulated the Yin and Yang within his body, extending his right hand and gently pressing down.
Sixty years of practicing Dao and gaining insights, Lin Yuan's comprehension of Yin and Yang far exceeded that of sixty years ago. At this moment, the Yin and Yang forces he mobilized were vast and mighty.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Yin-Yang millstone surged tenfold, with Yin and Yang forces interchanging, surging endlessly like a vast ocean.
"It's useless. I am indestructible."
The Original Demonic Spirit's expression changed slightly, still maintaining a defiant attitude.
But in just a few breaths of time.
"Stop, stop, stop."
"Let's talk things over."
"No need to resort to violence."
