He had set up the Dharma Platform in the cave beforehand, letting Xiong Xue'er sit on the platform in a cross-legged meditation, with a drop of Dragon Blood on his forehead, and placed nine urns behind him, all refined with talismans.

As the Heavenly Demon arrived, they began to communicate with the Nine Demons, their mana descending along with the Tribulation Qi, plunging Shi Longgu and Xiong Xue'er into a state of Heavenly Demon Illusion that they couldn't extricate themselves from.

Not just them, but all living beings within a hundred miles of Gupo Ridge were captivated by the Heavenly Demon, experiencing sights and sounds that were no longer real, with all senses fully stimulated!

Only Shi Feiyang remained unaffected by the Heavenly Demon's confusion, wielding his sword in front of the platform while watching the Heavenly Demon and the Nine Demons' thoughts interconnect. As the Heavenly Demon was about to take away the Nine Demons, he began burning talismans.

He consecutively burned three Spirit Talismans, then pointed his sword at the sky. Immediately, numerous invisible Pure Yang Sword Energies emerged within the bloody clouds above, slashing towards the Heavenly Demons and causing chaos in the clouds in an instant.

Shi Feiyang bit his ten fingertips, dipped the blood into the urns before him, and rapidly recited a long spell, finally stating, "Since you've come, none of you shall leave! Come down and work for me!"

He actually employed a Demon Path Secret Method, intending to capture all the Heavenly Demons and seal them within the Dharma Platform!

At that moment, each urn began emitting light: red, green, blue, purple; beams of various colors penetrated through the mountain, shining on the bloody clouds above, generating an extremely strong suction force that captured the concealed Heavenly Demons, pulling them into the urns!

There was indeed a method in this world for summoning extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons, but it was conducted with great respect, preparing various sacrifices, even requiring living human sacrifices, to possibly succeed in summoning a Heavenly Demon.

Once summoned, one also had to treat the Heavenly Demons with the utmost respect, as if worshipping a god, sacrificing one's own spiritual energy to request the Heavenly Demon's assistance.

The only exception was the Wutai Sect, when they needed to refine the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, they would lure the Heavenly Demons down, then catch them off guard, apply the casting method to restrain them, ultimately refining them into the sword.

Since the sensing ability of the Heavenly Demons was immense, knowing anyone's intentions involved, participants in this ritual either had to be oblivious about the Sword Refining beforehand or capable of maintaining a stillness of mind without entertaining a single thought.

Even so, success was not guaranteed; the Heavenly Demons' sensing also included a premonitory ability. Even if one's thoughts were calm enough to deceive at the moment, the demons could presense the danger beforehand and refuse to descend.

Even if they successfully deceived the Heavenly Demons to descend, sealing them proved to be extremely challenging. These beings, lacking physical bodies and resembling more a spiritual will, could come and go as they pleased.

It was for this reason that Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor gave up on refining the sword with Heavenly Demons and instead sought alternatives in the Human World.

Initially, Shi Feiyang learned the Sword Refining Technique from the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor, which naturally included the spells for luring and sealing Heavenly Demons. Now, displaying it, he achieved surprisingly effective results; since none of the external Magical Treasures or Spells were effective against Heavenly Demons, it all came down to a contest of Dao Level, and this was precisely Shi Feiyang's strength.

The bloody clouds housed over a thousand Heavenly Demons, some Great Heavenly Demons, others lesser, some manifestations, and some actual forms, all captured by the rays of light shot from the nine urns.

The Heavenly Demons, not expecting someone to dare attack them, immediately retaliated!

In an instant, thoughts from over a thousand Heavenly Demons, accompanied by the Tribulation Qi, smashed into Shi Feiyang's consciousness like meteors falling from the sky!

If it were anyone else, suddenly flooded with so many thoughts, they would immediately go mad, their mind in complete disarray, their Primordial Spirit unable to maintain control, soon to be overtaken by the Heavenly Demons who would seize their body and Primordial Spirit. Even cultivators from Mysterious Sect, with their resolute minds, could withstand it, but would momentarily be dazed, afterward having to exert all their strength to maintain their core and resist the Heavenly Demons, with no capacity left to counter.

However, Shi Feiyang was different from them; the vast number of thoughts from the Heavenly Demons crashing into his consciousness was but a drop into the endless void!

Shi Feiyang's consciousness was like the vast universe; no matter how many meteors crashed into it, they merely floated like dust, a drop in the ocean.

The Heavenly Demons were still not willing to admit defeat. They continued to pour in enormous amounts of Divine Thought, attempting to locate Shi Feiyang's Primordial Spirit's thoughts.

If Shi Feiyang had any stray thought that they could sense, they would immediately swarm in, following the trail to find the Primordial Spirit, but they couldn't find even a single thought; all around were endless voids. They still did not give up and continued to increase the output of their Devil Thoughts, stretching out like gigantic tentacles towards every corner.

Shi Feiyang was forming a spell with his hands, non-stop channeling Mana, and the light from the nine platforms grew increasingly intense, drawing in the demon above with a stronger force.

...

Gupo Ridge, located in Shu, wasn't far from Emei Mountain.

In this Shushan World, there were notably many Sword Immortals within Sichuan.

Shi Feiyang had caused such a huge commotion that even those who hadn't known before were now startled and looked on from afar.

Each Taoist and Monk were stunned, "Who is undergoing tribulation, and has summoned such a massive Heavenly Tribulation?"

Those with higher Dao Levels could see what was unfolding, "What is being born here to invoke such a formidable Demon Tribulation?"

On Ningbi Cliff of Emei Mountain, Bai Mei Monk was meditating but got disturbed. He saw more, "That Evil Dragon has quite formidable techniques, really trying to capture a Heavenly Demon!"

On Emei Mountain, Qi Shuming and three immortals were refining swords in the East Sea. Only Li Yuanhua and others resided regularly on the mountain. It so happened that the short elder Zhu Mei was also there; lacking the Mana of Bai Mei Monk, they combined observation with calculation, "Is that Demon Dragon trying to refine Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword like how the Wutai Sect did!"

...

The Heavenly Demon confronted Shi Feiyang, trying to control Xiong Xue'er to release Flying Swords to attack him, but Shi Feiyang had anticipated this move. He had placed Xiong Xue'er on the Dharma Platform, not to let Xiong Xue'er cast spells, but to imprison him there. Xiong Xue'er's consciousness was controlled by the Heavenly Demon, but his body was restricted by Shi Feiyang's Spell, making him unable to move even a finger. The duel between the two caused Xiong Xue'er to bleed from his pores, nearly exploding on the spot.

The Heavenly Demon then tried to control Shi Longgu to twist off her own head.

Shi Feiyang had also anticipated this, and the Circulation Talisman on the bed lit up simultaneously, also restraining Shi Longgu's body.

What came as a pleasant surprise was that after many days of refinement, Shi Longgu's mindset had undergone a qualitative change. In her heart, where the Heavenly Demon transformed into many handsome men, she had long grown accustomed to the sight of handsome men bleeding from seven openings and bodies covered in maggots, no longer moved by it. Although she also had numerous wandering thoughts, she managed to remain partially clear-headed. Using the power of various Demon Suppression Divine Talismans on the stone bed, she was able to control her body and even use her Divine Thought to constrain the nine Demon Infants within her, disrupting the Heavenly Demon's temptation of the Demon Infants.

The standoff lasted about the length of a meal when the Heavenly Demon finally realized it could not overcome Shi Feiyang, and continuing the fight would only result in their capture into the platforms below.

Thus, the Heavenly Demons ceased flames and started to retreat.

These demons were more like a stream of consciousness, quick to come and quick to go, leaving in an instant, disappearing one by one.

The Great Heavenly Demon, relying on his Mana, managed to break free from the constraints and leave, its clone disappeared into thin air, and most ordinary Heavenly Demons also escaped. However, nine were left behind, picked out by Shi Feiyang, forcibly retained, and sealed into the platforms.
