Deep within Fengmo Mountain.

Jiang Li was dressed in a bright red dance dress, wearing a hideous demon mask, and her eyes were filled with a hazy light.

Qin Luo discovered that her life essence was slipping away.

Chu Peiran murmured, "Could the legend be true?"

The old woman's hands trembled, and she exclaimed excitedly, "We succeeded! He answered us!"

"Cough cough..."

The demon mask on Jiang Li's face fell to the ground, and she returned to her original appearance, pale-faced with white hair mixed in with her black hair, her life essence severely depleted.

The old woman stepped forward to help Jiang Li up, and used a secret technique to transmit her voice, "A-Li, who did you see?"

“I don’t know, I saw a towering figure standing in the hazy mist, and His voice echoed in my ears. He said, ‘Let’s start with change!’”

Jiang Li did not use any secret techniques. She was very weak and her voice was very soft, but Qin Luo and the others could hear her.

Qin Luo looked at Chu Peiran and Gui Chen, who both shook their heads, not understanding the meaning of these words.

"Starting with change?" the old woman murmured softly, then suddenly burst into ecstatic joy. "I see! I understand! He wants to rebuild order in the human world!"

Qin Luo had heard his master say that every once in a while, a great calamity would occur in the world. According to his master, the great calamity was approaching, and Jiang Li might have really communicated with the heavens.

“Senior, He only knows destruction. Praying to Him is no better than praying to gods and Buddhas!” Chu Peiran said solemnly. He then looked at Qin Luo and Gui Chen, “Don’t you agree?”

"May Buddha have mercy."

"The Way resides within my heart; it need not be sought externally."

Gui Chen had been searching for the light in his heart, and ever since he followed Qin Luo, his mind had been illuminated.

The old woman's face darkened. "Heh, what do you know? The Witchcraft Cult existed long before your three religions. When we were serving Heaven, you didn't even know where you were."

Qin Luo smiled slightly and said softly, "Senior, the Dao appeared even before Heaven and Earth."

Chu Peiran stood tall and proud, “Senior, there is no order of learning, and those who are accomplished are our teachers. With the decline of shamanism, we should learn from you. Our academy supports ancestor worship because our ancestors were even greater; they adapted to nature and changed nature.”

Gui Chen nodded with a smile.

I think what they said makes sense.

The old woman's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Heaven is our unwavering faith, and He will reason with you."

Chu Peiran's lips curled up slightly, "I'm really looking forward to it. I study and practice swordsmanship so that I can reason with Him."

Qin Luo looked at the exhausted Jiang Li and said softly, "Miss Jiang, you have lost a lot of your life essence. If you try to communicate with Him again, you may die."

"I know."

Jiang Li forced a smile.

"Farewell!"

Qin Luo turned around with a smile.

They walked out of the cave.

Jiang Li looked at Qin Luo's back and had a sense of déjà vu. The old woman frowned and said, "Ordinary beings cannot manipulate time at will. He may have other identities."

"What is your identity?"

Jiang Li's eyes were filled with doubt.

The old woman's expression was solemn. "It could be the Dao Ancestor, it could be the Supreme God, or even Him."

Jiang Li's eyes widened.

These identities are all terrifying.

The old woman said in a deep voice, "That young Taoist priest will likely stand on the opposite side of us in the future."

"I hope not!"

Jiang Li felt that he was very kind.

Qin Luo and his group arrived outside Fengmo Mountain.

Chu Peiran said loudly, "Let's be good people to the end. Why don't we deal with the demons around us before we leave?"

"That's right!"

Qin Luo and Gui Chen nodded and separated again, each searching for the corrupted demonic beasts. The raging demonic beasts around Fengmo Mountain were either killed by swords, purified by Buddhist light, or returned to their docile appearance from when they were children.

Boom!

Qin Luo heard the noise.

He saw a dazzling golden light in the distance.

The moment that golden light appeared, Qin Luo's heart pounded. It was very likely that there was a fragment of the Heavenly Dao there. There was a tributary of the Luo River nearby, and he saw a bustling village.

Chu Peiran rushed to Qin Luo's side, "Brother Dao, that place looks like Wushan. It seems that a great destiny is about to be born."

The old woman saw the clouds in the distance dyed golden, and her face turned grim. "Oh no, that's the direction of the tribe. Starting with the change, could it be referring to us?"

"Ah Li, you should go back right away."

"Um."

Jiang Li put on the demon mask, transformed once again, and turned into a streak of fire as she headed towards Wushan.

Qin Luo saw Jiang Li flying through the air and thought, "Wushan, the witch, it seems to be related to them."

"Let's go join in the fun."

Let's go!

Near Wushan, above the sea of ​​clouds, there was a dark red celestial ship. The ship was originally heading towards Jiangling City. When the white-robed elder on board saw the golden light, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy Son, it seems we have not come in vain. An immense fortune awaits us."

A young man in silver armor stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes burning with desire. "Such a commotion must mean a priceless treasure. Let's hurry over there and not let other forces get there first."

...

Wushan.

The surrounding people all looked up at the mountain peak.

"It's not safe here."

"Everyone, get out of here immediately."

A burly man in a black robe was evacuating civilians.

In the ancient palace atop the mountain, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky. Inside the palace were five elderly men in black robes, all looking haggard and lying on the ground, coughing up blood incessantly.

The palace was filled with a somber atmosphere, with golden divine stones floating on a high platform, and the surrounding space distorted.

An elderly man frowned deeply, "This sacred object never had any problems before, so why did it suddenly go out of control?"

"The most important thing now is to stabilize it, otherwise it will cause big trouble." An old man sat up cross-legged, stretched out his hand, and a stream of energy rushed towards the golden divine stone.
