Shi Feiyang each year delivered a water amount far exceeding that of the Yellow River, employing a spell from "Guang Chengzi's Heavenly Book" with the assistance of the Circulation Hunyuan Umbrella, which often triggered lightning and thunder over the vast desert, followed by torrential rain.

For years, numerous oases began to appear in the desert, their numbers and sizes growing progressively, eventually forming large freshwater lakes.

With the presence of water in the desert, the temperature difference between day and night, winter and summer, began to diminish, with winters becoming warmer and summers cooler. The glaciers from the northern Heaven Mountain and southern Kunlun Mountain began to melt, their centuries-old ice volume shrinking year by year.

Meanwhile, in West Kunlun, many prominent figures of the Demon Path were lurking.

These Old Demons, largely malevolent figures from the past rejected by Heaven and Earth, unable to withstand their destined catastrophes or resist divine punishment, thus invoked the Demon Path Great Technique to create small spaces to hide themselves.

Shi Feiyang's grand actions had disturbed many of these entrenched Old Demons, prompting them to cast spells to investigate.

Among them, there was one who had been lodged within the Undersea Demon Palace at the Star Constellation Sea Floor for hundreds of years—his name was Deng Yin.

Deng Yin was the junior disciple brother of Master Changmei, True Master Ren Shou; before the Eastern Jin, they had cultivated together, and at that time, Deng Yin was a warmhearted, helpful young man.

The relationship between the brothers was extremely good; when Master Changmei obtained the Purple and Blue Double Swords at Wudang Mountain, he shared one with Deng Yin. Given that the masculine Purple Ying Sword was more mature and stable and the feminine Green Rope Sword was still wildly untamed, he gave the top-ranked Immortal Sword Purple Ying to Deng Yin, while he wielded the Green Rope Sword himself.

Later, Deng Yin married Shen Wugou and became the disciple of the master mentioned earlier, known as Master Di Can of the Red Clouds. The couple was affectionate and together followed Master Changmei to study the Purple and Blue Treasure Talisman, venturing out to accumulate merit and goodwill.

However, later on, Deng Yin met two witches, one good and one evil, one kind and one bad—one the daughter of the Stone God Palace Master, the other the daughter of the Old Demon from Iron City Mountain. Their relationship, due to their past lives, led them to intend to defy their fates, yet they were eventually helpless against fate's cruel twists, and step by step, he fell into the Demon Path, and finally abandoned all inhibitions, forsaking his wife Shen Wugou and wreaking havoc with the witches.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, relying on his Demon Skills, Deng Yin dominated the world, committing numerous murders. Master Changmei pursued him everywhere, and the brothers dueled several times. Unable to triumph, Deng Yin eventually peeled off his skin, used Golden Needles for acupoint piercing, and refined his body with Demon Fire, transforming his flesh and blood into a red silhouette. Upon encountering anyone, he would simply lunge forward, instantly absorbing their Essence Qi and Primordial Spirit for his own use, even seizing their bodies to deceive and plot against their families and friends.

This act rendered him even more lawless and his fierce might became untreatable, leading him to be known as the fearsome Blood God Child, causing all Cultivators in the world to tremble upon hearing his name.

During that time, Master Changmei could do nothing else but focus on capturing Deng Yin; every time just before Deng Yin killed someone, Master Changmei would catch up from behind.

When the brothers dueled again, Deng Yin, mastered in both righteous and evil powers with inconceivably high Technique Divine Power, eventually could not prevail over righteousness, and was captured by Master Changmei using the Liangyi Dust Formation, and taken back to his lair in Star Constellations Sea, where he was imprisoned in the Undersea Demon Palace.

Master Changmei left a prophecy stating if Deng Yin could ever repent his ways, there would still be a chance for redemption. Otherwise, the day he escapes confinement would be the day his body and soul are destroyed...

Deng Yin had spent these years within the Demon Palace laboriously refining his demon skills, constantly assailing and polishing the prohibitions, thinking that once he escaped, he would go to Emei Mountain to kill every disciple of Master Changmei he encountered, obliterating their body and soul completely, to vent the anger he had pent up for many years!

The exit of his Demon Palace was located in the Black Wind Nest on the north shore of the Star Constellations Sea at Mount Xiaogula. Originally sealed by Master Changmei, he could only stay within the Underground Palace under the sea. Over the years, the Liangyi Formation had weakened, and he had deduced many variations of this formation, breaking eighty to ninety percent of it, enough to move again within the Black Wind Nest on the shore.

He was still thousands of miles away from the Tarim Basin. For one thing, his Technique Divine Power was indeed profound and unpredictable. On the other hand, the commotion caused by Shi Feiyang was too great. Moreover, the range of rainfall and the planting of trees and grasses extended from the west side of Luliang Mountain through Shanbei, Gansu, all the way to outside Jiayu Pass.

Deng Yin had long detected the changes, calculating with Mysterious Sect numbers on one hand and conducting Divine Demon Sensing with the power of the Demon Palace on the other, fully grasping the situation of Shi Feiyang and couldn't help but exclaim,

"Such a figure has actually emerged in the world. Looking at his foundation, he seems like a visitor from beyond the stars. In the vast universe and the worlds of the heavens, although immortals, demons, and gods are plenty, having such capabilities is truly extraordinary. Most difficult of all, this person is well-versed in numbers. With his help, wielding power both inside and out, breaking this remaining formation would take no effort at all!"

He then set up a Dharma Platform within the Demon Palace and cast spells across space to the north.

Far away, more than three thousand miles in Zhangye City, there was a Daoist temple of the Snow Mountain Sect with disciples newly taken by Liu Quan in recent years. Since these disciples had good root bone qualifications and were diligent and studious, they had progressed from nominal disciples to direct disciples. Liu Quan had passed on the Sword Refining Technique, and last year, a new Flying Sword was refined, now presiding over several provinces' affairs within the temple.

Deng Yin caused him to have a nightmare, leaving his mind blank except for one thought: to find Master Shi in the vast desert to the west!

Captured by magic, the disciple did not inform his companions and set off by Sword Control at night, heading west.

After flying for several days and nights, he finally passed Yumen Pass. Amidst the vast desert, Shi Feiyang, capable of swift Flying Escape, coming and going like lightning, was untraceable, but Deng Yin could locate him.

Like Shi Pi the Elder and other cosmic eccentrics, capable of reaching within five thousand miles to converse with others as if sitting face-to-face.

Deng Yin cultivated the "Purple and Blue Treasure Talisman" and the "Blood God Scripture," both being the highest-level secrets in this world. The former was the highest of the Daoist, the latter the strongest of the Demon Cult. Imprisoned by Master Changmei for hundreds of years, he immersed himself in rigorous cultivation, understanding and cracking the Liangyi Six Harmonies Microdust Formation, advancing bravely and intensely. Despite being thousands of miles away, he still pinpointed Shi Feiyang's location through calculations and Heavenly Demon Sensing, sending the disciple with a Flying Sword to intercept Shi Feiyang halfway.

Shi Feiyang, using the Chaos Dragon Ball, controlled three hundred and sixty streams of warm humid air to circle around himself as he returned from the South Sea. The intertwining water vapors danced across more than five thousand miles, casting clouds everywhere he passed, with pervasive floating rain, and due to the friction between Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha, bursts of lightning and thunder erupted from east to west, north to south.

As he was flying, he suddenly spotted a sword light from the Snow Mountain Sect zooming towards him from a thousand miles away, seemingly coming for help due to some distress.

He approached to meet it, and upon a closer look, he was startled to realize that the other was under a Magic Restriction. Frowning slightly and just about to break the other's demon prohibition, the Snow Mountain disciple's eyes flickered with a red glow as he spoke, "Hold your hand, Master Shi, and hear me out first!"
