The Great Demon's expression changed slightly. "You want the Saint's body?"
Nether River Patriarch nodded and smiled. "Seems like you do know where it is."
The Great Demon's eyes flickered. "The Saint's body is indeed among us Demons. But what do you want it for? Do you want to use the Saint's body to cultivate?"
The Blood Sea was the most evil thing in this world. The Mosquito Daoist, who was born within it, could absorb the blood of others to strengthen himself. The Nether River Patriarch, on the other hand, cultivated the Dao of Blood and the Dao of Slaughter. He cultivated by devouring thousands of souls through slaughter.
It was easy to guess his purpose.
"That's right." The Nether River Patriarch admitted generously. "Don't worry. I'm on good terms with your Lord Demon God. Doing this will only be beneficial to the Demon Race."
The Great Demon's eyes flashed red. "Hmph, how can I believe you?"
Nether River Patriarch's record was already stained when he borrowed the God-killing Spear. This time, he still wanted to reap benefits. Did he think that the Demons were easy to bully and treated it as a treasured place to fleece?
"Back then, your Demon God fought with Tao Zu and was defeated by him. He even recuperated in my Blood Sea for tens of thousands of years. I do have old ties with him."
Patriarch Nether River continued, "You Fiendcelestials have already informed me of this calamity. We have already made plans for it! Originally, when the Impasse Heavenly Connection caused the fate of the human race to drop, you Demons should have taken advantage of the situation to replace the human race and create endless slaughter. Nether River could collect endless souls. This was a win-win situation. But I don't know what happened, and there was a flaw in the plan. "
Originally, the Demons could indeed crush the human race. But suddenly, the Human Sovereign came to the world, a new Buddhism was established, and the Impasse Heavenly Connection ended abruptly. This caused the fate of the human race to increase greatly. On the other hand, the Demons were going downhill at an unimaginable speed. It was impossible to guard against.
The Great Demon frowned and looked at Nether River Patriarch without saying a word.
"Actually, part of this calamity is your Demon God's doing. Back then, he lost to Tao Zu, but this time, he forced Hong Jun to compromise."
Nether River Patriarch smiled. Obviously, he knew a lot about all kinds of secrets. He continued, "Moreover, the situation now doesn't allow you to hesitate. Buddhism, the Heavenly Palace, the Underworld, and the Demons are all rising. Demons. As long as they have time, you Demons will never rise!
"You have a solution?" The Great Demon King looked at the Nether River Patriarch and said unhappily, "It's not that I'm looking down on you, but the news of the Kun Peng being stewed into a pot of soup and eaten separately has spread throughout the Three Realms. Have you heard of it? How do you think you are compared to him? "
"That's why I came find you.
The Nether River Patriarch's eyes darkened as he said solemnly, "The Kun Peng is the best example. If we don't take action, I'm afraid that death will be the only outcome that awaits us. And the only way is to … take another step forward!"
"A step further?" The Great Demon God stared at Nether River Patriarch, his face full of suspicion. "Do you still want to become a Saint?"
"Haha, this is what your Demon God told me. Actually, the realm above Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal is not Saint!"
Nether River Patriarch's eyes flashed with excitement and eagerness. He said seriously, "Saint is just a title. It's the result of the Heavenly Dao's reward! And the realm above Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, to be precise, is Chaos Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal! "
Actually, the so-called Saint was just a title for the Heavenly Dao. It was equivalent to a "good student" and did not represent the realm of cultivation.
"I see."
The Great Demon God's face showed a hint of understanding. Nether River was indeed an old fox. He knew so much.
But he was still a little hesitant.
Nether River Patriarch said, "In our current situation, you can only trust me!"
The Great Demon God clenched his teeth. "Alright, come with me!"
No matter what, it was great to be able to cause trouble for the Heavenly Palace.
…
In the backyard of the quadrangle.
Li Nianfan put away his carving knife and held the red gourd. He looked it up and down and could not help but nod in satisfaction.
The gourd's appearance did not change much. However, there was an additional phoenix pattern on the belly of the gourd. The phoenix spread its wings, full of nobility, pride, and mystery. It was completely compatible with Huo Feng's temperament.
Li Nianfan had seen Huo Feng's real body several times. Out of curiosity, he deliberately observed it carefully. He was very familiar with every part of it and did not need to imagine it.
Carving was naturally a piece of cake for him.
However, in these three days, Li Nianfan's results were not just this gourd.
He looked at the ground in front of him again. There were two peach wood swords.
The peach wood swords were only the size of a palm and had a very simple appearance. It was just the shape of a sword and there were no other patterns on it. However, it was extremely exquisite and would easily make people happy.
These two peach wood swords were for Nanna and Long'er. Once he started carving, Li Nianfan's hands were a little itchy. Coincidentally, he saw the peach tree at the side and had the idea of carving peach wood swords. He hoped that it could ward off evil.
Li Nianfan put away the gourd and raised his hand to pick up the peach wood swords on the ground. He was ready to give Huo Feng and the others a surprise.
However, when he saw the leaf that fell from the peach wood swords, his eyes narrowed slightly. He raised his hand and held it at his fingertips to examine it.
This leaf was extremely dark green and seemed to be flashing faintly. It looked like jade and the veins of the leaf were clear. The surface was smooth and flat, but it was surprisingly soft and had a very good texture.
This leaf came from the sapling that was first planted at the edge of the pool. That sapling was now as tall as a person, and its leaves were exceptionally lush, shining brightly under the sunlight.
"It's a pity that I don't use such good leaves to play the flute."
Li Nianfan's heart skipped a beat. He gently stroked the edge of the leaf with his finger. He sat by the pond and enjoyed the breeze. He looked at the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains in the yard. Suddenly, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart. He had the urge to play music.
The sound of the wind, the sound of the pond water flowing, and the sound of the leaves swaying became the most beautiful scenery in the backyard.
He looked at the old turtle resting by the pond and immediately rose into the clouds under his feet. He floated on the old turtle's back and had a panoramic view of the courtyard from above.
Then, he smiled slightly and casually sat on the old turtle's back. In this picturesque scenery, he brought the leaf to his mouth. Then, he gently pursed his lips and a melodious sound drifted out.
"Tuk tuk tuk —"
Unlike musical instruments, the sound of the leaves being blown was very soft and did not have enough penetrating power. However, it was the purest sound of nature. It was like a gentle breeze, making people feel comfortable and at ease.
Sounds of music flowed in the spacious backyard. They were like ripples of water, rippling out from Li Nianfan's mouth.
At this moment, the wind stopped, the clouds stopped, and the entire world seemed to have stopped.
The trees that were still swaying suddenly stopped. However, if one looked closely, they would notice that although their leaves were no longer swaying, their trunks were trembling slightly.
This was because of excitement.
It has begun. Master is giving us an impromptu opportunity!
As the elders who followed Li Nianfan, they had experienced this phenomenon several times.
Perhaps it was due to feelings or a whim, Master would suddenly enter a certain state. He would either play the zither, compose music, or recite poems or paint to express his inner feelings.
Originally, this was a very normal thing for anyone, because emotions and thoughts would exist as long as one was alive. However, what kind of existence was the master? His every word and action contained the truth of the Great Dao, let alone when he was expressing his feelings.
The power of the Great Dao contained in it was like a baptism, cleansing the entire world. It could make every place it passed through be reborn!
The music flowed out like water.
At the side, the halo of the peaches on the peach tree couldn't help but become brighter. Along with the music, the peaches swayed slightly like a child. The plum tree that hadn't borne fruit before suddenly quietly produced a small fruit. The entire courtyard, the fragrance of the flowers became stronger, and the grass also became greener.
The buzzing Golden Bees that were originally flying all returned to their hives. They controlled the amplitude of their wings and did not make any sound. They leaned against the entrance of the hive and listened carefully.
Two five-colored sacred cows sat with their legs bent, leaning against each other, and wandered along with the music.
Below Li Nianfan, Old Tortoise was motionless.
In the pond, small ripples spread out. The golden dragon floated under the water, twisting its body and closing its eyes in intoxication.
This music seemed to have a strange magical power. Wherever it passed, all sounds would involuntarily disappear, causing one's mind to go blank. It made one feel as if one had turned into the wind, turned into the sunlight, and merged into one with the world ….
The music was like water, overflowing from the backyard and slowly flowing out.
