Li Qing only felt that in his Sea of Consciousness, it was as if a blazing spark was thrown in, and instantly, a mysterious power erupted within the Sea of Consciousness. The mysterious script rushed into his Divine Soul like a Heavenly River pouring in.

These scripts shimmered with strange light; each character contained endless mysteries, as if telling the origin and the end of the universe. Li Qing only felt his Sea of Consciousness constantly expanding and reshaping under the impact of this power.

Far away in the Pure Yang Realm, the true body Xu Qing also suddenly opened his eyes. In his Purple Mansion, the projection of the Emperor Star seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, spinning madly. The projection of the Emperor Star radiated brightly, illuminating the entire Purple Mansion, reflecting the surrounding void into bright clarity.

Xu Qing looked at the Yin Ruins phantom that appeared before him, his mouth slightly upturned, and lightly laughed, "So that's how it is." He slowly got up, and the phantom of the Five-headed Heavenly Demon Sacred Image slowly emerged behind him.

With each step Xu Qing took, it seemed to drive the stars in the heavens to turn; the vestment robe transformed from the Mountain and River Map shone with stars, flickering unpredictably, ancient and powerful.

When the seventh step was taken, his figure had turned into a wisp of purple light, penetrating the barriers of time and space.

...

On the Lu Platform, Di Xin's hand holding the pen hung in mid-air, unable to move forward. Cinnabar ink dripped slowly along the wolf hair, spreading like a pool of fresh blood on the memorial, alarming the eyes.

The Mystic Bird Jade Pendant enshrined on the table seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force, suddenly emitting a piercing sound. On the body of the jade pendant, the originally still Twenty-Eight Constellations Map spun rapidly, and the lights of those constellations intertwined to form a mysterious and magnificent scene.

At the same time, five strands of Purple Qi surged out from the void fissure, like five agile swimming dragons, swirling and meandering in the air, then rushed directly into Di Xin's seven orifices.

"Ugh—"

Di Xin let out a muffled groan, his five fingers suddenly clutching deeply into the bronze table. His knuckles were overstrained, turning bluish-white, and the skin on his forehead cracked inch by inch. Golden-purple light burst from the cracks, weaving into a huge Ziwei Star Map in the void above his head.

Xu Qing's consciousness surged over Di Xin's body like a tide. Under the impact of this consciousness, every meridian of Di Xin was undergoing the remodeling of stars. In his left eye, the All Heaven Star Orbit gradually emerged, the densely packed star tracks like a giant heavenly net enveloping the entire universe; in his right eye, the Heavenly Demon Poison Qi churned, the dense Evil Qi like black flames, burning fiercely, as if to devour everything.

"So that's how it is..." Xu Qing chuckled softly, his voice overlapping with the dual echoes of the true body and King Yin. At this moment, he seemed to possess eyes that could see through all things in the world, clearly witnessing the essence of the Yin Ruins Space-Time slowly unfolding before him: countless hair-thin lines of cause and effect, intricately entwined together, forming a gigantic cocoon.

Each line connected 129,600 cycles of reincarnation, and within this endless reincarnation, Ji Chang's white-haired figure loomed faintly in the center of the silken cocoon. The bamboo slip tightly grasped in his hand was the key anchor point maintaining the entire space-time.

"Crack!"

The Mystic Bird Jade Pendant could no longer withstand the tremendous power and shattered completely. The flying fragments whirled rapidly in the air, finally coalescing into a mysterious Star Map.

Xu Qing reached out to gently tap, and under his control, the star trajectories suddenly twisted and reorganized, transforming into the ancient Demon Text "Heavenly Demon Transformation." These four words emanated a bizarre and powerful aura, as if spoken by an ancient Demon God.

Outside the hall, the sound of panicked footsteps from attendants could be heard, but the moment they reached the threshold, they were stopped by an invisible barrier, unable to take a step further. By this time, the entire Lu Platform was completely shrouded by the Heavenly Demon Domain, where everything seemed to fall into an endless stasis.

"Ziwei as bone, Heavenly Demon as vein..." Xu Qing closed his eyes to inner vision, focusing on the entangling powers in his Sea of Consciousness. The strength of the Emperor Star poured down like a galactic river, washing over his Divine Soul with overwhelming momentum, attempting to completely assimilate his consciousness; the source of the Heavenly Demon transformed into a gluttonous giant mouth, viciously devouring the starlight of the Emperor Star, the two ebbing and flowing, neither yielding to the other.

When the 180,000th star was devoured, a spirit light suddenly flashed in Xu Qing's mind, and he profoundly realized: the Yin Ruins Space-Time was the "Primordial Cocoon" manifested by the Taiyi Dao Seed, only by simultaneously mastering the Heavenly Dao and Human Dao, these two completely different powers, could one break out of the cocoon and glimpse the true essence within.

"Wen Zhong." Xu Qing spoke softly, his voice echoing in the silent palace.

At the moment of retracting the domain, Xu Qing slowly caressed the newly formed Purple Jade at his waist. This jade pendant refined from a Star Core appeared gentle as water, radiating soft light, but inside it contained unfathomable power.

As the three-eyed Grandmaster Wen Zhong stepped into the hall, Xu Qing intentionally let the purple-golden eccentric light of his third eye surge. Instantly, the Heavenly Eye on Wen Zhong's forehead was strongly impacted, immediately oozing golden blood.

This was the ancient Thunder Department God bloodline rejecting the Heavenly Demon instinctively, under this powerful rejection, Wen Zhong felt a bout of dizziness, his body swaying slightly, nearly losing his balance.

"Your Majesty... your eyes?" Wen Zhong asked, enduring the discomfort, with a hint of doubt and concern in his voice.

"Grandmaster, how does this galaxy look?" Xu Qing replied without directly answering, his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a mysterious smile. With a wave of his sleeve, a brilliant starlight scattered like fireworks, the starry brilliance glittering, dreamlike.

As the star points landed, they instantly transformed into demonic patterns, etching a miniature map of Yin Ruins on the jade floor. On this map, a dazzling blue light shone at the location of Xiqi City, responding to the direction of Chao Ge's Purple Qi, forming a perfect Tai Chi double fish configuration. The blue light and Purple Qi intertwined and fused, as if Yin and Yang poles, containing boundless mysteries and power.

Wen Zhong's third eye suddenly felt a sharp pain, in his unique "Observing Qi" view, the monarch before him was no longer human-shaped: the left half was an Emperor star image sitting in the Ziwei Constellation, emanating an aura of majesty, as if controlling all order in the world; the right half was a Five-headed Heavenly Demon swallowing sun and moon, with demonic Qi surging to overturn the entire universe.

At the junction of the two, golden Tao patterns grew like vines, these Tao patterns shimmering with mysterious light, exactly the fusion trajectory of "Lianshan" and "Guicang" of the Two Yi. This strange sight shocked Wen Zhong greatly, his eyes filled with awe and fear, as if witnessing the most incredible thing in the world.

"Order the three armies." Xu Qing lightly tapped the Yin Yang Fish Eyes of the Tai Chi Diagram with his fingertip, his gaze firm and his tone unwavering, "In three days, I shall borrow the pure Qi of Xiqi to refine the Taiyi Golden Pill."

As the last word fell, all thirty-six Coiling Dragon Pillars on Lu Platform shook violently. The eyes of the Mystic Bird carvings on the pillars turned scarlet instantly, resembling burning flames, with a jade pearl in their beaks bursting with purple lightning.

This purple lightning darted through the air like a dragon, crackling with noise. It was originally the Heaven Peeping Array laid by Bi Gan, but now, thoroughly corroded by Heavenly Demon Qi, it had become the sensory tentacles of Xu Qing perceiving the Heavenly Dao. Through this Heaven Peeping Array, Xu Qing seemed to establish some mysterious connection with the Great Dao of heaven and earth, able to sense every change in the Heavenly Dao, perceiving the workings of all things.

Outside the hall, a sudden fierce wind surged, the wind howling, like ghost cries and wolf howls. Rolling dark clouds rapidly covered the sky, within which, a strange phenomenon of stars reversing appeared.

Xu Qing looked up at the sky, understanding in his heart that this was the true Ziwei Emperor Star in the Taixu Universe responding to him. When the true body opened its eyes in the Pure Yang Realm, the star trajectories of the two space-times had already overlapped, and this mysterious land of the Yin Ruins finally revealed its deepest secret to him—the trial of choosing a master by the Taiyi Dao Seed.

...

...

Outside the Yin Ruins Space-Time, in the Spirit Platform Star Sea, the barefooted True Martial showed a mysterious smile to the elders of the Four Great Daoist Sects, the Pure Yang Dao Sect, and others.

The Formless Daoist even heard True Martial's whisper,

"You, indeed have returned."
