The ferocious aura in the cauldron was still the same. It didn't disappear because of the interruption of the sacrificial refining. Instead, it was like a starving beast, showing signs of becoming more ferocious.
The unfinished black pagoda in the cauldron was still frightening.
Chen Luoyang stared at the giant cauldron and kept thinking.
He was considering if he should "feed" the Earth-overturning Seal and even the Jun Tian Spear into it.
If the sacrificial refining was successful, what kind of monster would it be?
His intuition told him that if this black pagoda was successfully refined, it would be more powerful than the Jun Tian Spear and the Earth-overturning Seal.
But it would also be more unstable and difficult to control.
Therefore, it wasn't a good time to be hasty.
Speaking of the raw materials for the sacrificial refining of this treasure, there might be a good choice?
In front of the Demon Venerable's remains, a huge rock-like object appeared.
This was what the Demon Venerable said was stolen from the Demon Venerable by a disciple of the Demon Venerable.
Where did the Demon Venerable get it from? It was still unclear. Chen Luoyang didn't know whether his senior was dead or alive, or where he was.
Ever since he got this treasure from the Demon Venerable, Chen Luoyang had been studying it.
But after such a long time, he didn't find anything.
Sometimes, he even suspected that he was tricked by the Demon Venerable. He suspected that this was a trap set by the Demon Venerable to test him.
If it wasn't for the Jun Tian Spear, Chen Luoyang would really suspect that this thing was fake and that his identity had been exposed in front of the Demon Venerable.
But looking at the Demon Venerable, there was nothing wrong.
In other words, this seemingly ordinary big rock was really the treasure that was stolen by the Demon Venerable's eldest disciple?
But if it was something important, the Demon Venerable wouldn't just return it like that, right?
At least the other party should have studied it thoroughly.
Or maybe, the Demon Venerable made a mistake?
Chen Luoyang was hesitant.
Why was this treasure stolen back then, and what was it supposed to be used for?
Before figuring out what was going on, he threw it into the cauldron to sacrificial refine the pagoda. Chen Luoyang always felt uncertain.
Maybe, if my cultivation level is higher, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel?
But before that, there were some things in the mortal world that had to be arranged properly.
Chen Luoyang secretly made up his mind.
He withdrew his consciousness from his main body.
Inside the Black Water Extreme Palace, the leaders of the forces under the Demon Emperor's command had gathered, waiting for their leaders' orders.
Chen Luoyang's figure appeared in the main hall, and he sat on a high seat.
Everyone in the hall bowed and greeted him.
"Greetings, Hierarch."
"Greetings, Palace Master."
"Greetings, Sect Master."
The way they addressed each other was different, and the way they saluted was also different. The three parties were clearly separated, but they spoke in unison and were uniform.
Not only the people of the Ancient God Sect, but also the people of the Black Water Extreme Palace and Yan Ranshan now looked at Chen Luoyang with more trust than before, and some of them even showed faint fanaticism.
Previously, the commotion at the Imperial Mausoleum had stirred up the world of mortals, and the people on land had gradually come to their senses.
Many people, especially those from Fusang Island and Azure Dragon Island, took the risk to head to the deep sea in an attempt to catch such a fated chance.
But alas, no one was able to enter the door.
The commotion caused by the collapse of the Imperial Mausoleum even formed an even more terrifying space-time storm on the sea, sweeping down and killing many.
When the sea calmed down, everything was settled.
Finally, as Chen Luoyang, the East Zhou Empress, Ji Zhong, and the others returned to the mortal world, the news could no longer be suppressed and spread quickly.
Although most people didn't know the details, the news spread in the mortal world that the Demon Emperor, East Zhou, and Xian Tian Palace shared almost one-third of the Human Sovereign's inheritance.
The Demon Emperor, who stirred up a storm in the mortal world and then finally had a year of peace, was once again one of the winners.
Everyone could foresee that the Demon Emperor would once again look at the mortal world.
And the people under Chen Luoyang's command were even more in awe of him.
"Hierarch, we've plowed through the territory of Ancient God Church once again, but we didn't find any trace. However, I've already ordered people to continue the investigation." Xie Buxiu, the first seat of White Tiger Palace of Ancient God Church said as he bowed to Zhang Tie.
Chen Luoyang said calmly, "If the Heavenly Demon really appears, you won't be able to stop him. Don't act rashly, but report to me immediately."
Xie Buxiu said respectfully, "Yes, Hierarch's order."
The Demon Emperor's power rose again, and the others in the mortal world naturally felt a stronger threat.
But now, they had no time to be wary of Chen Luoyang.
Because a piece of news spread in the mortal world.
Heavenly Demon Ye was about to return!
In the Imperial Mausoleum, the old demon also had a hand in it.
Although the Demon Emperor, the East Zhou Empress, and the Xian Tian Palace Heavenly Phoenix fought together, Heavenly Demon Ye still got a part of the Imperial Mausoleum's essence.
This part of essence was enough to heal the old demon.
It wouldn't be long before the dark cloud that once shrouded the mortal world, the peerless demon who once fought the world alone, would make a comeback in his heyday.
The news was confirmed by the Demon Emperor, the East Zhou Empress, and Xian Tian Palace Ji Zhong.
The entire mortal world was shocked.
Everyone went into action, either visiting each other or actively searching for Heavenly Demon Ye's whereabouts, hoping to interrupt the old demon's recovery at the last moment.
The Ancient God Palace, the Black Water Extreme Palace, the Yan Ran Mountain, and the former Chu Land also took action.
The high-level experts of the Black Water Extreme Palace and the Yan Ran Mountain also reported the progress of the search to Chen Luoyang.
Unfortunately, there was still no news of Heavenly Demon Ye.
But this was basically expected. After all, the old demon's whereabouts had been a mystery for more than a hundred years. With his strength, if he wanted to hide, he could go anywhere in the world, and it was too difficult to find him.
"Reporting to Sect Master, there is news from the Northernmost Lake that the Heavenly King has come out." After reporting about Heavenly Demon Ye, Yan Ran Mountain's Bai Feng continued, "In addition, there is unconfirmed news that the Heavenly River invited the Heavenly King to be a guest."
Bai Feng vaguely suspected that the master of the Star Palace, who had been taking care of him in recent years, might be the legendary supreme.
And among the people in the "Star Palace", there didn't seem to be a direct disciple of Chen Luoyang.
If the master of the Star Palace was really a supreme, then the supreme's purpose in giving advice to them besides Chen Luoyang was a bit thought-provoking.
How they should deal with Chen Luoyang, the true successor of the supreme, was really a headache.
Perhaps the supreme didn't think so much and did it on a whim, but if Chen Luoyang knew of their existence, he might not mind.
Bai Feng could only deal with it carefully.
The news he brought attracted everyone's attention.
The master of the Northernmost Lake, the "Heavenly King" Zhang Weiyu, had always been one of the top ten experts of the righteous path in the mortal world. He had been famous for many years and his cultivation was outstanding.
However, he had been in seclusion for a long time, and even the Northernmost Lake had been extremely low-key in the mortal world these years.
The rise of Chen Luoyang had brushed past the Heavenly Lake, and the two sides had almost no contact.
Now that the Heavenly King had suddenly come out of seclusion, it was unknown what kind of impact it would have on the mortal world.
Of course, the most relevant thing at the moment was that Heavenly Demon Ye was about to reappear in Jianghu. The Sky River Old Sword Immortal had invited the "Heavenly King" Zhang Weiyu to the Sky River for a meeting, most likely because of this.
"Not only the master of the Heavenly Lake, I might also have to meet the Old Sword Immortal, but now is not the time." Chen Luoyang smiled and then ordered, "Invite Abbot Fa Kong, Island Master Bao, and Island Master Tian to come to the palace as guests."
Everyone's spirit was roused, and they quickly accepted the order.
With the secret support of the people of Little Western Paradise, Misery Sea gradually found it difficult to gain the upper hand.
The battle between the two sides gradually calmed down from the intensity, but there were still small conflicts, but the top experts of both sides did not personally participate.
Therefore, Chen Luoyang invited Abbot Fa Kong as a guest, and the other side came as promised.
Azure Dragon Island Master and Fusang Island Master were also present.
Both sides were old enemies, but now they both had their own troubles.
One was badly battered because of the God of the Netherworld, and the other was trying to keep a low profile because of the arranged battle between Zhi Zun and Young Master Tian.
The two giants, who had once fought in the Divine Land under the mortal world for Chen Luoyang, greeted each other as if nothing had happened.
"Abbot Fa Kong, how have you been?" Azure Dragon Island Master Bao Lvqi greeted.
Fusang Island Master Tian Tianhai also greeted the old monk in the distance.
"Island Master Bao, Island Master Tian." Abbot Fa Kong put his palms together and returned the greeting.
Bao Lvqi sighed, "Such a lineup, it should also be for Heavenly Demon Ye, right?"
"In the Human Emperor's Mausoleum, Chen Luoyang should have had a conflict with Heavenly Demon Ye," Fusang Island Master Tian Tianhai said.
Abbot Fa Kong said, "We still can't find Heavenly Demon Ye's whereabouts, otherwise we might still have a chance. But now, I'm afraid we will really have to face the return of the Heavenly Demon."
The three giants of the demonic path entered the Black Water Extreme Palace together.
Then, in the palace, they not only saw Chen Luoyang, but also another person who had not appeared in the mortal world for a long time.
"Mad Emperor" Bie Donglai.
Abbot Fa Kong and the other two were deep in thought.
Bie Donglai had indeed appeared here for Heavenly Demon Ye.
Although he and Heavenly Demon Ye were master and disciple, they were also enemies. Although Han Yan had been found, Bie Donglai still loathed Heavenly Demon Ye.
But it was unknown whether the Demon Emperor had interceded on his behalf, or whether the Demon Emperor himself had ordered him to come out.
The former meant that the Demon Emperor still did not interfere in the mortal world, while the latter meant that Heavenly Demon Ye had angered the Demon Emperor. The difference between the two was very large …
Chen Luoyang did not give a clear explanation. He only said indifferently, "Heavenly Demon Ye is temperamental and a very unruly person. If we let him return to the mortal world and sit at the table again, it will affect everyone's meals. It's better to let him continue to stay where he is."
The three leaders of the demonic path's holy lands nodded silently.
As members of the lawful evil camp, they also disliked people who flipped the table.
Back then, almost everyone in the world, regardless of whether they were good or evil, attacked Heavenly Demon Ye together. Even the Heavenly River and Blood River swords combined, and the Righteous Buddha and Anti-Buddha put their palms together.
However, the old demon was too fierce, and half of the mortal world was destroyed in one battle.
Killing a Heavenly Demon would result in death.
Many people died.
In the current mortal world, the number of peak experts was actually not as great as it was a hundred years ago.
However, it was not as if they did not have an advantage.
The leader this time had a different identity.
Azure Dragon Island Master and the others looked at the Demon Emperor disciple in front of them.
