Shi Feiyang's proposal deeply moved Zen Master Xiao Yue.

His Dao Level and mana were actually quite formidable; it was just that he lacked a sufficiently powerful Magical Treasure.

Truth be told, he was genuinely poor, having acquired the Yiguang Twin Swords only through the guidance of his former teacher Deng Yin.

Yet relying solely on these Twin Flying Swords against the three immortals of the East Sea was a disadvantage. In his last duel with Xun Lanyin, his own mana wasn't lacking and he was competitive in Spell casting; only, his Flying Sword Magical Treasure was inadequate, repeatedly putting him at a disadvantage. Had he possessed the Nine Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords, he would have cleaved Xun Lanyin into seventeen or eighteen pieces long ago!

However, the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture" was passed down to him by his mentor, refined from the Eastern Jin dynasty until now, through several lifetimes of reincarnations…

Noticing the emotion stirring in him, Shi Feiyang doubled down, "Fellow Daoist, you've mentioned wanting to establish an Orthodox Emei Sect, but how are you going to contend with them? They have the Purple and Blue Double Swords, the Seven Cultivation Swords, the Invisible Sword, the Mandarinduck Thunderbolt Sword, the Spiritual Jade Peak, the Nine Commandments Immortal Banner, the Zi Wu Universe Light Disc, the Three Flowers Divine Shuttle, and many treasures passed down from the ancestors of Emei,

even that Dragon Slayer had the Dragon Subduing Pearl and the Dragon Slayer Saber, plus many other treasures she refined herself. What do you have, fellow Daoist? What will you contest them with? Don't be offended by my bluntness, but from an outsider's perspective, despite your great Mana and extensive Divine Skills, with your strength, you could easily take any mountain and gather disciples, becoming a Sect Hierarch, a Grandmaster.

But if you are thinking of challenging the Emei Sect, honestly, our first reaction would be to laugh. They are numerous and powerful, with many Magical Treasures. How can you, fighting alone and without a powerful Magical Treasure, contend with them?

I have the Eternal Elixir Book passed down by Guang Chengzi, the "Inner View Primordial Sect" by the Green-haired True Master, the Demon Path's secret "Demon God Scripture," and the "Chi You Three Disks Scripture" among others. Honestly, I don't absolutely need your 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture,' but having long heard of its renown, I can't help but want to see it.

So, if you are willing to give me the 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture,' not only will I help you perfect those Twelve Supreme Heaven Secret Demon Slaughters, but I'll also give you a copy of the 'Chi You Three Disks Scripture,' which contains many ancient secret techniques, ferocious and domineering, and the methods to refine those Magical Treasures are immensely powerful. If you could understand and cultivate it, integrating it with what you have learned so far, you could easily defeat Qi Shuming."

He spoke calmly and extensively, stirring Zen Master Xiao Yue's emotions profoundly, especially when mentioning the Dragon Slayer, which only reminded him of the injustice from his master.

The Dragon Slayer, Shen Xiu, had the worst relationship with him and, having been caught for her indiscriminate killing, was expelled from his sect. Yet, his master had granted her a Treasure Saber and sent her to the North Sea where she killed many Great Poison Dragons and earned the title of Dragon Slayer; later, he arranged for her to become a disciple under Xin Ru Nun, who had once been an outcast female immortal and one of the Cosmic Six Strange, but had joined Buddhism and gained formidable power. The nun, proficient in both Buddhist and Daoist Dual Cultivation, had a ruthless and dark heart. If he wasn't well-prepared, he might suffer at her cruel hands.

With a determined snort through his nostrils, Zen Master Xiao Yue firmly decided to exchange with Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang was delighted. The "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture" was the highest Immortal Law of the Shushan World, from Mysterious Sect. Even though The Three Pure Ones had their way in existence and the Three Emperors in reincarnation, and the path was diverse, the source was still the Dao itself. Shi Feiyang believed that studying it would deepen his understanding of the Dao and his Cultivation of the Three Emperors' Dao.

Shi Feiyang first transmitted the "Chi You Three Disks Scripture" to Zen Master Xiao Yue, who then transmitted the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture" to Shi Feiyang, followed by Shi Feiyang transmitting the Supreme Heaven Fierce Fire Flag and the twelve Divine Demons.

The Supreme Heaven Fierce Fire Formation required thirty-six large flags for complete setup, and Huo Wuhai once held a set. Shi Feiyang had studied it with Huo Wuhai, teaching him the strategic thoughts of setting up the formation while leaving the rest for Huo Wuhai to complete.

He now held these twelve large flags, having acquired them later from Shi Nanxi and others. Holding them, he could set up a simplified version of the Fire Formation and had long calculated how to combine it with the Divine Demons.

He first jointly refined the twelve large flags with Zen Master Xiao Yue, integrating them with the Twelve Supreme Heaven Devine Slaughter, each flag encapsulating a stream of Evil Qi.

Following that, he infused the twelve Divine Demons onto the flags, ensuring that in future usage, unlike before, Zen Master Xiao Yue wouldn't have to sacrifice his own life; the power would also be much greater.

The two spent over two months in the Underground Palace to refine the entire set of flags successfully.

Afterward, Zen Master Xiao Yue cast a Spell that sent the twelve flags swirling energetically around him, feeling immensely thrilled.

He could feel the enormous energy contained in the Magical Treasure.

Ever since his last fight with Xun Lanyin, he had harbored grudges against the fan in her possession. The Heavenly Treasure had infinite uses, many of his Spells and Magical Treasures had been countered, and he had been unsure how to face them in the future.

Now, with this set of flags, encountering Xun Lanyin again, he could definitely refine her and her treasures to ashes!

Holding the treasure joyfully was Zen Master Xiao Yue, and Shi Feiyang was also delighted. Having acquired the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture," truly profound it was, he had scored big in this exchange!

Unfortunately, time was pressing. There wasn't enough time to scrutinize and cultivate further. The distant matter was the third swordfight that was soon approaching; the immediate concern was that the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor and others had returned.

White Bone God and Xu Wan, two wastes, had finally completed their Sword Mold after a process filled with danger that nearly led to failure.

With the Sword Mold ready, the formal Sword Refining was to begin. Shi Feiyang and the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor recalculated repeatedly and began preliminary preparations.

Both parties had been busy for half a year, and eventually, on an auspicious day, they departed together and arrived at the north shore of Star Constellations Sea.

Wutai Sect, White Bone Sect, and Taiyin Sect all mobilized collectively.

Shi Feiyang, however, did not bring anyone with him, instructing them to stay at their respective posts. One was to guard the Bitter Bamboo Temple by the Yuan River, and another was to maintain order in Mingyu Immortal Market and ensure the safety of maritime transportation.

The collapse of a building is but a moment's event. When luck flourishes, one can be safe and sound. But once momentum wanes, various crises erupt. This is akin to the rope breaking at its weakest point—fate particularly oppresses the unfortunate.

In times of adversity, if one cannot adjust their mindset and halt their decline, they will spiral rapidly downwards, worsening until extinction.

For instance, if a person loses their job and becomes disheartened, they may soon lose their spouse, and if they become inflamed with anger, they will quickly be plagued by illness...

If Shi Feiyang did not assign people to guard those places, enemies would surely rob his home, like Zheng Dianxian or the disciples of Xuanyuan Dharma King.

If he had stationed people there, those threats would not materialize, ensuring calm seas.

He did not bring a single person and only followed Zen Master Xiao Yue to the Star Constellations Sea.

Upon arriving, Zen Master Xiao Yue mentioned that his master, Deng Yin, wanted to see him.

Shi Feiyang of course would not enter the Demon Palace, so he stood at the entrance shrouded in thick fog, seeing within a handsome, tall young man with the build of an ape and a wasp's waist, his face like fine jade, brimming with heroic vigor, his demeanor tranquil, and his eyes clear with a smiling expression, exuding an air of bold generosity!

If one did not know beforehand, who could imagine that Deng Yin, who once rampaged across the world killing countless Sword Immortals, was such a person?

Deng Yin had fifteen disciples beside him, all handsome young men, three of whom were practicing skin-peeling cultivations like himself. Due to insufficient Dao Level, a faint smell of blood enveloped them, their eyes revealing a chilling blood light, and they stood curiously beside Deng Yin, surveying Shi Feiyang.

They were eager to know what the man who had occupied their master's thoughts and was deemed crucial for breaking through the blockade looked like.

Deng Yin, with his handsome appearance and cheerful gentle tone, smiled before speaking, "Daoist Shi, we finally meet."

Shi Feiyang nodded and smiled, "Heavenly Number dictates so; to defy it would cost even more."

Deng Yin said with a smile, "Heavenly Number intended for our acquaintance and for using you to break out of this sunless prison."

"Perhaps not."

"It must be so," Deng Yin said, "otherwise you would not be here today."

Shi Feiyang looked up at the sky, "Humans plan, heaven decrees."

Deng Yin suddenly laughed heartily, "Do you think, Daoist friend, that without my assistance, or if I were to obstruct, the Twelve Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords could ultimately be refined?"

"No, but I know you will do everything in your power to help us refine them; otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen this place for Sword Refining."

"If I help you refine the swords, will you help me escape?"

Shi Feiyang shook his head, "No."

Deng Yin fell silent for a moment before speaking again, "Are you so certain?"

Shi Feiyang nodded, "Yes."

Deng Yin looked at him and suddenly laughed, "You are truly the most unique person I have ever met, possessing both the stubbornness of a righteous hypocrite and the cunning of a true small-minded person from the Demon Path."

"Thank you for the compliment," Shi Feiyang said, "Yin and yang, the Five Elements, use them at the right time, the right momentum, the right place, the right person, and unite them in one heart."

Deng Yin was momentarily at a loss for words, then chuckled and sighed, "Actually, you do not need to be so wary of me; I am not a senselessly murderous demon. I only kill those who have bullied me."

Shi Feiyang remained unmoved.

Deng Yin looked at him with a sense of closeness in his eyes, "You will definitely help me escape with all your might eventually, even if you are unwilling now. I look forward to the day that comes."

Shi Feiyang gently shook his head, "I hope that day never comes."

Deng Yin smiled warmly, "It's not far, I have already seen it."
