Inside Chang 'an's Imperial City, the palace was grand and majestic. Between the pavilions and courtyards, there were winding corridors and richly ornamented rafters. It was indescribably magnificent. In this vast world, only the residence of the emperor could have such a grand view.
Although it was already night time, there were whale candles everywhere in the palace, illuminating the place brightly.
Yang Guang stood on a high platform and looked down at the magnificent palace. Behind him, a tall man knelt on the ground. He was trembling and didn't dare to look at Yang Guang. The surrounding guards and guards stared at the empty space in front of them as if they didn't see the man at all.
Only a few highly skilled guards hid in the shadows near Yang Guang and stared at the man's every move.
Yuwen Wenji was an expert of the current Great Sui. His Mysterious Ice Force, which was passed down in his family, had been tempered to perfection. Although he was not as good as Yuwen Shu, the current head of the Yuwen Family, but because he was young and vigorous, his lethality was superior. If he suddenly went berserk, it was hard to say whether or not he could hold Yang Guang hostage.
Therefore, they had to be careful. If Yang Guang didn't call Yu Wenji over, they wouldn't even allow him to get close.
"Yu Wenqing, you said that the Art of Longevity that you found for me was taken away by the Rakshasa from Goryeo? Now it's in the hands of two Yangzhou hooligans? " Yang Guang's voice didn't sound happy or angry. His back was facing Yu Wenji, so the expression on his face couldn't be seen.
Yu Wenhua had no choice but to put on a trembling expression as he replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, we came one step too late, Luocha's Daughter snatched the 'Secret of Longevity' from Shi Long's hand in advance, but we killed him with our palms. However, at that time, both of us were injured. The two hooligans that she adopted took the opportunity to take away the Art of Longevity and the corpse of the Rakshasa. "
"Humph!" Yang Guang flicked his sleeves and asked, "Trash, you can't even take down an injured Rakshasa! Yu Wenji, do you know that you're secretly hiding the Rakshasa and plotting to steal the treasures of that traitor Yang Su and my Art of Longevity … "
"Your Majesty, these are all ridiculous words. We can't believe them!"
Yu Wenhua buried his head on the ground and explained in a terrified tone.
Seeing that Yang Guang was about to get angry, he quickly took out the things that he had prepared. Originally, with the power of the Yuwen family, he did not have to be so timid. But now that the world was in chaos and the people were angry, everyone knew that this was the best time to fulfill his ambition. The more it was like this, the more careful he had to be.
If it was the Yang Guang from before, he would not have been so afraid. However, it was because Yang Guang wanted to make them lose their minds that they had to be even more careful. Otherwise, Yang Guang might even dare to force the Yuwen family to rebel.
"Your Majesty, although I was unable to retrieve the Secret of Longevity for Your Majesty, I did find a Rare Object that has a lot to do with the Secret of Longevity!" Yuwen Huaji's words seemed to have piqued Yang Guang's interest.
"Rumor has it that the Secret of Longevity was created by the sage Guang Chengzi. It was written in strange characters and its meaning was close to the ancient times. It was difficult for modern people to understand its meaning. Therefore, it was said that no one in the world could live forever. However, I asked around and heard a strange story. It was said that when Guang Chengzi was teaching the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, he got a flying stone from outer space. He saw the technique of the Extraterrestrial Demon in the stone and created the Secret of Longevity. "
"I thought about it. Since the ancient times, the meaning of the characters has changed, but the strange stone has never changed. If Your Majesty could see the secret of the Secret of Longevity with this stone, wouldn't it be like adding wings to a tiger? Therefore, I asked around … "
"Finally, I found this stone in a library and presented it to Your Majesty!" Yuwen Huaji pointed at the bottom of the stage, where his guards were.
Hearing this, Yang Guang's mind was slightly shaken. It seemed that this strange stone had some kind of magic that he could not let go of. He pondered and said, "Could it be the legendary Heavenly Demonic Stone that Guang Chengzi used to see the Primeval Demon's bone? Rumor has it that Nuwa mended the sky and fought with the Primeval Demon above the Nine Heavens. The Primeval Demon died in ten days and his bone turned into a strange stone? "
The more he waited, the more restless he was. It was as if he could not suppress something. The words Primeval Demon were like a curse that firmly affected his heart.
Therefore, he did not pay any more attention to Yuwen Huaji and hurriedly returned to his bedroom with the Heavenly Demonic Stone.
Yuwen Huaji only raised his head after Yang Guang left. He and his guards left the palace and returned to the direction where Yang Guang had left. Yuwen Huaji's lips curled into a cold smile and he snorted in his heart, "This fatuous ruler is really stupid. He is so obsessed with seeking immortality that he is even superstitious about demons and ghosts."
"Primeval Demon? I wonder how it is related to the Demon Sect? "
He turned his head and shouted to the guards who were waiting for him, "Let's go!" Then, he left the palace.
In a secret place in the bedchamber, Yang Guang caressed the strange stone in front of him. It was deep and dark. When light shone on it, it was as if it was penetrating into ink. There was no reflection at all. Yang Guang felt that it was like a black hole that devoured everything around it. There was a mysterious spiritual force that seemed to be faintly connected to him.
The moment his hand touched the black stone, Yang Guang's body trembled. An indescribable feeling came from the bottom of his heart. It was as if his spiritual acupoint had been opened. The vital energy in his body was stirring and a strange spirituality was born in his vital energy.
Once again, he probed it with his vital energy. He felt that the black stone was nurturing a universe. It was mysterious, sublimated, and the indescribable spirituality made Yang Guang's vital energy jump and spin around the strange stone. It was as if there were acupoints and meridians in it, and it was circulating at a normal speed.
A thin white vital energy could be seen coming out from Yang Guang's nose and into the non-existent acupoints of the black stone. It was as if a brilliance was being nurtured inside. The black stone turned and spat out a thick and strange vital energy that went into Yang Guang's seven orifices. In a trance, Yang Guang saw a giant demon that was as majestic as all living beings.
It was as big as a star and was covered in dark gold. There was endless time and space around it, and it held the sun and the moon in its palm.
"Primeval Demon!" Yang Guang said with a trembling voice.
The Primeval Demon Dharmakaya was switching back and forth between a giant star and a giant god. Yang Guang tried his best to see the Heavenly Demon reaching out its hand towards a planet that was filled with life. Endless time and space suddenly gushed out and went into the acupoints of the planet. In an instant, it brought along a large amount of soil, rocks, and lava into the Heavenly Demon's hand.
The planet visibly shriveled. Its flesh, bones, and even its soul seemed to have been devoured by the Primordial Heavenly Demon in one move.
The illusion changed again. Yang Guang saw a young man who looked very similar to him when he was young floating in the vast galaxy. He suddenly turned his head and his eyes seemed to meet with Yang Guang's. A large amount of information, memories, and insights rushed into Yang Guang's brain.
"Ah!" Yang Guang felt a sharp pain in his head and suddenly woke up from the illusion.
"Chen Ang … No, it's the Primeval Demon. I'm the reincarnation of the Primeval Demon!" Yang Guang shouted in shock. He seemed to have found the answer to the matter and the reason why he could faintly sense the Heavenly Demonic Stone. He immediately became furious. "Nuwa, you bitch! How dare you kill me! How dare you kill me! No, I want to be reborn. I want the Primeval Demon to be reborn!!! "
The eunuch beside him was so scared that he was at a loss and wanted to escape.
Yang Qi raised his hand in anger. "You want to betray me?" The eunuch felt a bone-piercing vital energy enveloping him. He was so scared that he knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, I dare not! Your Majesty … "
He looked at Yang Guang and the murderous intent in his eyes grew. He screamed and wanted to push the door open to escape.
Yang Guang laughed. He could feel his vital energy absorbing the life of the eunuch. The eunuch's flesh and blood left his body and was sucked dry by the vital energy in mid-air. Then, the bones, and the marrow of the soul. As Yang Guang's vital energy grew stronger outside his body, a warm feeling enveloped him. It was as if his life was being nourished and his strength was being elevated.
When the eunuch's head turned into ashes in mid-air, Yang Guang felt his body being reborn. A brand new life force came from his vital energy, giving him a new lease of life.
His vital energy had grown by two levels, but the quality was many times purer.
Looking at his white hair that had returned to a healthy black color, the wrinkles on his hands faded, and the youth and energy in his body, Yang Qi laughed.
He accepted the conjecture that he was the reincarnation of the Sky Demon without hesitation and devoted himself to the great cause of the Sky Demon's rebirth.
"So I am the Sky Demon. That's great! Longevity, power … I am Yang Guang, but I will be reborn as the Sky Demon Chen Ang. I will return from the ancient times and rule the earth again … Hahaha! " Yang Guang regarded Sargeras' illusion as Chen Ang's real body and was ecstatic about his newfound power.
The first ray of dawn shone on the palace gate. The palace gate that had been closed for the whole night suddenly opened. Yang Guang looked at the eunuch chief kneeling in front of him, then turned back to look at the empty palace behind him. He glanced at the eyes of the guards around him and saw that they didn't dare to look at him directly. He saw that they didn't dare to doubt that he had suddenly regained his 20-year-old appearance.
Yang Guang chuckled softly.
"Take me to the death row!" he ordered the chief.
