The Black Water Basin, the Undying Mountain.
Xuanqing opened the coffin and emerged, transforming into eighty-one Heavenly Demon Kings, truly astonishing everyone.
"There's no need for everyone to be surprised, I merely practiced the 'Heavenly Demon Secret Scripture' a bit," Xuanqing said cheerfully as he glanced at the gods.
Then he waved his hand, and the Heavenly Demons behind him changed form again.
"If everyone is uncomfortable, they can actually become like this."
In the next instant, the surging demonic qi transformed into overwhelming divine light, and each Heavenly Demon transformed into all Great Emperors of the heavens.
Their divine presence was majestic and awe-inspiring.
"Can these incarnations resist the suppression of the Corpse Cutting Technique?" Luo Hou asked curiously.
"Hmm, hard to say."
Xuanqing's words were ambiguous.
"Then what's the use?" Luo Hou shook his head, thinking they could give Hong Jun a combo punch and enjoy the thrill of gang-beating.
Turns out they are merely pleasing to look at.
"You can't say that, at least they can serve as the Heavenly Emperor in the Taiwei Heavens," Xuanqing thought, and the eighty-one Heavenly Emperors transformed into streams of light, ascending above the Cycle and entering universe after universe.
[Taiyang Venerable] Di Jun saw and clapped his hands in laughter, saying, "This is good, this is good, saves me the trouble of creating more gods!"
Since he and his brother devised the Divine Dao (or Immortal) Certification Method, the task of transforming the divine court of the Taiwei Heavens had fallen on them.
Currently, the Taiwei Heavens operate reliant on the Heavenly Dao, but having the Heavenly Emperor himself manage it is naturally the best.
After all, this is the Heavenly Emperor showing consideration for his subjects!
"By the way, does anyone have any insights?" Xuanqing, quite satisfied with his harvest, looked towards the gods.
"I gained some remnants of an array, and I'm studying their use," said [Age Star Venerable] Fu Xi, who was the first to speak.
He pointed to a cliff not far away, "There are some early ideas from Shen Ni recorded there, which are quite interesting."
"Heh, I picked up this!" [Venerable Star] Zhen Yuanzi took out a section of Demon God Bone covered in runes.
He chuckled and said, "Do you think there are Rune Demon Gods in Chaos?"
"Are you referring to that one?"
The gods looked at the Demon God Bone and nodded slightly, "There should be, after all, Chaos is so vast, the Three Thousand Demigods is an exaggerated number, having a Rune Demon God isn't unusual, is it?"
"I tried to trace back time and unexpectedly found a Spiritual Treasure." [Taiyin Venerable] Wang Shu flipped her delicate hand, and a silver whip appeared in it.
Serene time encircled the surface of this Spiritual Treasure, exuding an extraordinary aura.
"You can still trace time back in this place?" The other divines were amazed as they looked at [Taiyin Venerable] Wang Shu.
They had tried when they arrived; this Undying Mountain is too unique, seemingly having no past or future, residing at an exceedingly mysterious point.
Let alone tracing time back.
"Can't you do it?"
[Taiyin Venerable] Wang Shu was even more surprised than they were, "Actually, it's quite simple."
She extended a finger to the void, and time unfolded like a gentle curtain, revealing a grand Space-Time River flowing in reverse, surging and rushing endlessly.
The gods: "..."
"Is this your way of tracing time?"
The gods gave Wang Shu a peculiar look, "This is obviously recreating time and redefining the past!"
"So you all tell me, does this time not trace back?"
[Taiyin Venerable] Wang Shu blinked and said matter-of-factly, "This place has no past or future; it is like the 'Dao,' without front or back, seemingly difficult to approach, yet it is not."
"After all, the Great Dao is elusive and mysterious, but all can be proven; solving this should be quite simple."
Wang Shu wielded her silver whip in hand and swung it directly into the void, once more creating a Space-Time River flowing upstream.
"No past, create the past; no time, redefine time; if you look carefully, you can always find something."
Who says tracing back time must trace the pre-existing fixed time?
The Taiwei Gods gave her a thumbs-up.
"Professional! As expected of the Taiyin Venerable."
Wang Shu happily enjoyed the gods' praises.
"Everyone can give it a try as well."
"Alright!"
All of them tried it out one after another.
Tracing back to the source, going with the flow, expanding laterally... After a few rounds of exploration, there wasn't much gained.
"As expected."
Xuanqing glanced at Wang Shu, thinking of the Reincarnation Demon God that came to him, suspecting that the Taiyin Venerable also had her fate.
In the following moments, the gods displayed their findings.
Shen Ni fell, the gods feasted.
Even without Shen Ni, the heritage he left behind enriched the vaults of the gods.
For a time, the atmosphere in the Undying Mountain was filled with merriment.
"This Chaos Coffin is indeed beneficial for comprehending the Taixu Essence; fellow Daoists, you should try going in one by one."
Xuanqing pointed at the coffin suspended in the void.
"Oh? Let me take a look."
Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was quite interested, and without hesitation, lay inside.
A long while later.
"Bang!"
Luo Hou opened the coffin and emerged.
"How was it?" Xuanqing looked at Luo Hou, asking with implied meaning.
Luo Hou appeared calm.
He laughed, "It truly works; everyone should give it a try."
"Really?" The Star Venerable also went inside.
When he came out, Xuanqing asked again, "How was it?"
"Not bad!" The Star Venerable beamed with joy.
"Then let's all give it a try."
Next were Taibai Venerable, Age Star Venerable, Ying Huo Venerable, Venerable Star...
Swish, swish, swish~~
When the gods emerged one by one, they were either smiling or laughing, filled with endless delight.
