During the battle at Huaguo Mountain, the demons had suffered a huge loss. Several demon patriarchs had been killed by Yang Jian's seal. Only a few monkey spirits remained on Huaguo Mountain out of the hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers that the demons had gathered.
These monkey spirits were specially protected in front of the Six Friends of the Plum Mountain in order to prevent Sun Wukong from going berserk in the future.
The so-called opportunity for the demons to revive had been completely destroyed under the joint efforts of Yang Jian and the Celestial Court. The Celestial Court had used the most direct and cruel method.
Not a single blade of grass was left.
Almost overnight, most of the wings of the demons, who had begun to rise in the Three Realms, had been destroyed by the Celestial Court.
The experts of the demon race could only hide in the underground demon city and defend. The Celestial Court did not send an army to sweep through. That was why the demons barely survived and were not completely wiped out.
The demons could not be completely destroyed. If those birds and beasts cultivated, they could all become demons.
However, if all the demons above the Longevity realm were slaughtered, the legacy of the demons would suffer a fatal blow. The legends of the great demons would no longer exist, and the demons would enter a long blank period …
There were two suspicious points that Yang Jian couldn't help but think about it more.
Firstly, Goddess Nuwa had always been protecting the demons. Why did Goddess Nuwa not say anything during the battle at Huaguo Mountain? She even gave the Demon-Summoning Banner to the demon patriarch before that?
Secondly, why did the Jade Emperor leave the last faction of the demons alive when he was chasing after the demons everywhere in the Three Realms? Isn't that a hidden danger?
However, he could be sure that the Jade Emperor's operation this time had the permission of the Saint. Or perhaps, it was completely controlled by the Saints. The Jade Emperor was just a pawn who represented the Saint.
Yang Jian could not understand the various schemes after the Journey to the West calamity. He recalled his first meeting with Heavenly Flame Daoist in the Chaos Bell.
Back then, the third person of the Demon Court, Xihe, was still in the Chaos Bell and was controlled by Heavenly Flame Daoist.
At that time, Daoist Tian Yan had once mentioned Xihe's role. If the Demon Court's Demon Emperor appeared again, Xihe would be a bargaining chip to restrain him.
Before learning about the existence of supreme experts, Yang Jian could only understand the great calamity mentioned by Heavenly Flame Daoist as the calamity of resurrection.
In that case, it was very likely that the ancient East Emperor Taiyi and Emperor Jun had been "resurrected" by the supreme experts hiding under the Nether Stream of the North Sea. After the Sages found out about this, they immediately made the decision to exterminate the Demon Clan.
It was true that the Demon Race could not be left alive. Otherwise, with the status and prestige of the two Demon Emperors in the Demon Race, the Demon Race of the Three Realms would definitely submit to them as soon as they appeared in the North Sea.
But since they were going to be destroyed, why did they have to leave behind the strongest Demon Clan force?
Yang Jian didn't know much about this and didn't have the time to think about it.
With the Three Pure Ones and Daoist Heavenly Flame around, Yang Jian was actually quite at ease about the changes that had happened in the Primordial World.
Sun Wukong still had to stay in the Eight Trigrams Furnace for more than forty days. In the Primordial World, the chaos caused by the demons was wiped out step by step. The South Continent was not affected much.
On the second day after Yang Jian's true body returned to the Black Spirit Kingdom, he went to Xuandu City for a stroll.
This time, he did not have a clear goal. He only wanted to visit his friends and chat with Treasure Master Colored Glaze and the Snow Saint Partial Spirit to discuss the Dao and cultivate.
Although he had yet to become a Saint, Yang Jian was already standing at the threshold of the Great Dao Saint realm. If he took a small step forward, he would be able to become a Saint. He could also exchange cultivation experiences with the remnant spirits of the Saints who had helped him a lot.
In fact, Yang Jian wanted to go to the Heart Sea Boundary Stone. However, after discussing the matter in detail with Treasure Master Colored Glaze, he gave up on that idea.
If he went down rashly, needless to say, he would be in danger. The most terrifying consequence would be that Yang Jian was no match for the trapped supreme expert. After being devoured by the supreme expert, the supreme expert would have the strength to escape and bring a real disaster to the Primordial World.
Without full confidence, Yang Jian would not take the risk easily even though the supreme expert had all the truth that Yang Jian wanted to know.
The remnant spirits could not leave the Saint's Tomb. Yang Jian stayed there for a few days to completely eliminate the worries of the Invincible Golden Body Technique.
Next, Yang Jian went into seclusion in Xuandu City and worked hard to comprehend the eighth realm of the Eight Nine Mysteries.
Although there was almost no difference between cultivating hard and spending his days in an absurd manner, Yang Jian felt more at ease when he cultivated in peace. He would not feel that he was slacking off, nor would he feel that he had sunk into the gentleness of his three wives.
It was not the time to spend his days in an absurd manner.
"Eight Nine Mysteries …"
Yang Jian sighed, and there was a hint of depression in his eyes.
If the Eight Nine Mysteries had not been destroyed by Taoist Qianhong, the ninth chapter would still be there. He could still refer to it for his current cultivation and perhaps stand before the door of the Saint State earlier.
At that moment, Yang Jian's left hand was already on the door of the Invincible Golden Body Technique to become a Saint, while his right hand was about to touch the door of the Eight Nine Mysteries to become a Saint.
Pushing those two doors at the same time, Yang Jian might be torn apart by the two Great Dao, or he might be able to embark on a path that no one had ever walked before.
The Ultimate Realm.
"How did Du Bi cultivate to the peak of the Ultimate Realm?"
Yang Jian asked himself and examined the incomplete memories he had. In the end, he could only shake his head gently.
There was no cultivation process and realization in all of Du Bi's memories …
Perhaps to Du Bi, the process of cultivation wasn't anything important, so there weren't too many details left in his memory.
Yang Jian gradually realized what it meant to be 'difficult' to cultivate and 'difficult' to become a Saint.
What was the limit of the eighth level of the Eight Nine Mysteries and the Indestructible Mystic Yellow Body? If he did not break through the limit, would he have a chance to enter the Saint State?
There were a few more questions in his mind. Yang Jian sat in the ruins with his chin in his hand, unable to calm down for a while.
There were still more than 40 days before Sun Wukong would be free. Should I not be in a hurry to cultivate and go back to accompany the three madams for a while?
Forget it. It's not like they have nothing to do. The huge Heiling Kingdom needs them to take care of it. It's really a bit hateful for me to not help but cause trouble.
Yang Jian chuckled and waited for the monkey to come out of seclusion in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
After waiting for less than half a month, Yang Jian's state of mind gradually recovered. He closed his eyes and began to cultivate again, comprehending the various mysteries of the eighth level of the Eight Nine Mysteries.
After waiting for a long time, Yang Jian did not see the chaos in the Celestial Court or the upheaval in the Tushita Palace. Instead, he waited for a piece of news that made him even more excited.
There had been some abnormalities in the back mountain of Kunlun Mountain for the past few days. From time to time, the sky would be filled with rays of light or colorful clouds. Auspicious divine beasts would gather, qilins would accompany each other, and immortal deer would turn around.
Meanwhile, there was a clear fog everywhere in the back mountain of Kunlun Mountain. Cultivators who had yet to become immortals could improve their cultivation by kissing the fog. Cultivators who had become immortals could gain many insights by smelling it.
In the first two days, no one knew why. Everyone thought that Kunlun Mountain was originally the Dao field of the Three Pure Ones, which was why there was such a phenomenon.
However, as the news spread, the Celestial Court, the Netherworld, the four seas and five continents, and the trichiliocosm were shocked.
Fuxi deduced that the various phenomena were due to the appearance of a new Saint in the world. After Goddess Houtu, the Primordial World was about to welcome another new Saint!
When Yang Jian's incarnation heard the news, many immortals had already gathered near Kunlun Mountain to watch the unprecedented feat of the birth of a Saint.
However, the back mountain of Kunlun Mountain had already been restricted by the Heavenly Dao. No one could approach it. They could only absorb some of the immortal fog that floated out of Kunlun Mountain.
Who is the new Saint?
Some immortals said that it was Yang Jian, while others said that it was Hiroshige. Some even said that it was an ancient mighty figure who had never participated in any Great Tribulation in the world. That was why he was not famous.
However, gradually, the cultivators believed that the person who was about to become a Saint was suppressed under the Qilin Cliff …
Yuding Zhenren.
Apart from Yang Jian, most of the others were a little dissatisfied while they were glad that the Primordial World had another Tribulation Facing Power.
Even the evil Kun Peng had a chance to become a Saint. Most cultivators who cultivated honestly could not even enter the Quasi-Saint realm.
Yang Jian's incarnation came first. A few hours later, his true body returned from the Chaos Sea again. He stood in the sky above the back mountain of Kunlun Mountain and quietly guarded his master.
In the North Ocean, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, who had been sleeping lazily, rarely appeared. He ordered the various tribes not to be careless. If there were any changes in the Netherworld Stream, they should report to him and the various mighty figures in time.
In various parts of the Nether Realm, remnant souls whistled, and true spirits flickered. The waves in the Three Roads River surged, and flowers bloomed beside the Village Viewing Platform.
Other than Kunlun Mountain, the most obvious place in the world was the Celestial Court.
The upper, middle, and lower 33 heavens were filled with multicolored light. The Star Lord's Mansions were surrounded by starlight, and every corner of the Celestial Court was filled with Clear Spirit Qi.
Just like that, another half a month passed.
Yang Jian, who was standing alone on the back mountain of Kunlun Mountain, was thousands of feet behind him. The disciples of the three sects had already gathered. Although most of the disciples of Jie School and Chanism were still prejudiced against each other, they were all peaceful at that moment. No one made a ruckus.
Yuding Zhenren was about to become a Saint. The Dao Sect was about to have four Saints. He was also the first personal disciple of the second generation of the Dao Sect to become a Saint of the Great Path.
Even if Yuding Zhenren's background was a little worrying, the Three Pure Ones had guaranteed for Yuding Zhenren, so nothing would go wrong.
When would the eighth Saint of the Primordial World be born?
Even the few Saints were not sure. After all, in the countless years of the Primordial World, there were very few Saints of the Great Path breaking through. This was actually the first time such a situation had happened in the Primordial World.
When Daoist Heavenly Flame broke through, it was in a place that no one knew, and it was also hidden by the Bell of Chaos.
After waiting for another half a month, Yang Jian, who had been guarding the top of Qilin Cliff, suddenly made a slight movement.
He looked down at the thick fog below.
Although it was a small movement, it attracted the attention of countless cultivators. In the sky and on the ground, countless Immortals were watching nervously. They all wanted to find their own opportunities when the Saint of the Great Path became a Saint.
However, Yang Jian merely lowered his head and glanced at it. Then, he returned to normal and stood there, waiting quietly.
