Beneath the Immortal Extinction Ghost Cave, magma flows, and the air is scorching hot.
In the open area, a huge black sphere was bubbling and gurgling, emitting bluish-black gas that devoured the magma and then flowed back into the black sphere.
"ah……."
The piercing screams are ultimately a form of self-harm.
Ji Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at her left side. Her left hand and left foot had been pulled apart, and thick black liquid gushed from the bloody wounds, rushing into her limbs. Looking at her right side, she saw countless faces, sobbing and wailing.
"Immortal Nightmare Demon, what have you done to me?"
With her last breath, Ji Xiaoxiao questioned the Immortal Nightmare Demon about why he had attacked her.
Inside the black sphere, the Nightmare Demon is omnipresent.
"Do you know why 'corpse immortals and ghostly demons appear, and heaven and earth weep'?" asked the Immortal Nightmare Demon.
Ji Xiaoxiao was in excruciating pain all over her body and didn't want to think about it. She angrily said, "Who cares about him?"
The immortal demon, seemingly unperturbed, said calmly, "Don't be angry, I'll explain things to you properly."
At the beginning of the Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Dao separated a wisp of consciousness, which transformed into the first immortal in the Immortal Realm—the Dao Immortal. He worked diligently in the desolate Immortal Realm, moving mountains and seas, changing the terrain, planting immortal flowers and herbs, and greening and embellishing the scenery.
Millions of years have passed in the midst of our busy lives.
One day, the celestial realm welcomed its first true immortal—Xuan Gu, who later became the first celestial lord, known for his great compassion and for building the Zhenxian Palace.
The arrival of Xuan Gu shattered the dull and peaceful life of the Daoist immortals.
The two hit it off immediately, and Dao Xian took care of Xuan Gu in every way. Xuan Gu advanced rapidly, and in just ten thousand years, he went from a lowly immortal as insignificant as dust to a celestial lord above all others.
For a Celestial Lord to break through and ascend to the Divine Realm is extremely difficult, even after Xuan Gu secluded himself for ten thousand years, he still couldn't reach the threshold of advancement. But as the saying goes, heaven never closes all doors. Xuan Gu inadvertently learned of the Celestial Lord's true identity, and his mind began to make his calculations.
Xuan Gu secretly gathered the most precious treasures of the Immortal Realm: the water of the River of Oblivion in the Eastern Region, the ancient tree that supports the sky in the Southern Region, the colorful stones that mend the sky in the Western Region, and the five-colored soil in the Northern Region, to build the magnificent first palace of the Immortal Realm—the Palace of Suppressing Immortals.
"Wait, isn't the Zhenxian Palace used to protect the 'Heaven and Earth Connection,' but rather the foundation for maintaining the stability of the Immortal Realm?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked, still confused.
The Immortal Nightmare Demon sneered, "If the Immortal Suppression Hall is truly protecting the Immortal Realm, then it should be called the Immortal Protection Hall instead of the Immortal Suppression Hall."
Dao Xian's surname is Dao and his given name is Xian. He is Zhen Xian in Zhen Xian Hall. It is obvious who he is suppressing.
The Immortal Nightmare Demon's sarcasm was laced with malice as he continued speaking.
Dao Xian was kind-hearted and trusting, and Xuan Gu had planned this for a long time, so it was foolproof. Dao Xian was like a lamb entering a tiger's den, naturally falling into Xuan Gu's trap.
Xuan Gu employed a grand, concealing array to hide the secrets of heaven, using the Zhenxian Palace to suppress the Dao Immortals, stripping them of a wisp of the Dao Immortals' consciousness and merging it into himself. This allowed him to glimpse even a fraction of the Three Thousand Great Daos, easily breaking through to the Immortal Lord realm. Xuan Gu had misrepresented the Dao; because of that wisp of Dao consciousness, Xuan Gu's ascension tribulation was merely a formality, all bark and no bite.
Dao Xian was an avatar of the Heavenly Dao consciousness, an immortal being. Betrayed by his friend Xuan Gu, he was suppressed in the Zhenxian Palace for many years, where his resentment grew. Over time, the world changed, and he condensed into the Corpse Immortal Ghost Fiend.
"Am I the embodiment of the resentment of a Daoist immortal?"
Ji Xiaoxiao secretly laughed at herself, realizing that she wasn't human after all!
Immortal Nightmare Demon Path: "No, you are not."
No? Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. Am I still human?
The Immortal Nightmare Demon dropped a bombshell: "Only when we merge into one can we become the true Corpse Immortal Ghost Fiend."
Next, another story.
The resentment of the Daoist immortal manifested as a Corpse Immortal Ghost, or more precisely, a Purple-Gold Devouring Heaven and Earth Annihilating Corpse Immortal Ghost, which instantly turned the immortal realm upside down. At this time, the immortal realm had already welcomed thousands of immortals, including many immortal lords. They gathered the power of all the immortals in the immortal realm, suffering heavy losses themselves, and personally slew the Corpse Immortal Ghost that was plaguing the immortal realm.
Corpse Immortals and Ghostly Demons are formed from the resentment of Daoist Immortals. Like Daoist Immortals, they are immortal and indestructible. When immortals kill Corpse Immortals and Ghostly Demons, they only weaken their power, causing them to split into two. Their physical bodies are either the Copper-Skinned Iron-Boned Supreme Heaven-Opening Corpse Immortal and Ghostly Demon or the Profound Azure High Void Yin God Slaughtering Buddha Corpse Immortal and Ghostly Demon, while their divine souls are Immortal Nightmare Demons.
For millennia, the Immortal Nightmare Demon, the soul of the Corpse Immortal Ghost, retains past memories and hides in the Immortal Extinction Ghost Cave, accumulating power. Meanwhile, the Copper-Skinned Iron-Boned Supreme Heaven-Opening Corpse Immortal Ghost or the Profound Azure High Void Yin God Slaying Buddha Corpse Immortal Ghost possesses power but has no past or present life; they are repeatedly annihilated by immortals, only to be resurrected time and again.
Thus, the corpse immortals and ghost demons were divided into three types by the immortals who were unaware of the truth.
The Immortal Nightmare Demon Path: "When the Corpse Immortals and Ghostly Demons appear, the heavens and earth weep. The immortals slay the Corpse Immortals and Ghostly Demons time and time again. Although the Heavenly Dao is obscured by the formation, it is still a part of itself. Every time the Corpse Immortals and Ghostly Demons are destroyed, mountains collapse, rivers flow backward, and the heavens and earth weep together. It is laughable that the immortals think that the Heavenly Dao is mourning those who have died."
Mourning those brainless pigs?
So self-righteous! Utterly ridiculous!
What wrong did Dao Xian commit? He helped Xuan Gu time and time again, but Xuan Gu was ungrateful and instead stripped Dao Xian of his Heavenly Dao consciousness, suppressing him for endless years.
Although the Corpse Immortal Ghost is the embodiment of resentment, it has never done evil. However, because it possesses a strong aura of resentment, the immortals have identified it as an extremely evil being capable of any evil. From the moment it was born, everyone wanted to kill it. Forced to take to the mountains, it had no choice but to live up to its reputation as an extremely evil being.
The Immortal Nightmare Demon has lived in the Immortal Extinction Ghost Cave for many years, and it has long been fed up with its dark and gloomy life.
"To return to the peak and avenge our grievances, we must transform back into the Purple Gold Devouring Heaven and Earth Destroying Corpse Immortal Ghost Fiend. To maintain this, we must merge into one and become one."
