The Demon Lord of All Forms

Chapter 111 Immortal Scripture

Based on these memories, Yun Weiyang finally understood the general history of Tianyuan Jiuzhou.

From the time when Yuan Yang Daojun established laws and quelled the turmoil in the ten directions in the ancient times, more than 300,000 years have passed in Tianyuan Jiuzhou. Tai Ming Tianmo calls the current era "the late ancient period", an era of great strife. The balance between the righteous path and the demonic path is being broken. The heretical path is rising, the Buddhist sect is lying dormant, and all forces are accumulating strength, waiting for the next opportunity to reshuffle the deck.

From the memories of the Tai Ming Heavenly Demon, Yun Weiyang obtained nearly a hundred different techniques and classic texts from the Ten Directions Demonic Path, including many ancient methods that had long been lost.

Besides the demonic path, Yun Weiyang also obtained many righteous and unorthodox cultivation techniques. These techniques were obtained by Taiming Tianmo after he killed his opponents and searched their souls.

There are relatively few heretical teachings, only a dozen or so volumes, including the "Iron Prophecy of the Great Void Zhou Tian" from Xingxiuhai, the "Central Heaven Establishment Ascension Register" from Zhongtianmen, and the "Golden Book of the Exiled God" from Wanfacheng.

The orthodox teachings include the "Great Yin Yang Cave Thunder Secret Instructions" of the Shenxiao Sect, one of the twelve orthodox sects today; the "Yuan Yang Great Sword Scripture" of the Shenjian Sect; the "Contemplation Diagram of the Twenty-Four Gods of the Heavens" of the Tianren Pavilion; the "Ancient Scripture" of Tiandao Mountain; and even the "Supreme Five Elements Bright Spirit Scripture" of the Taishang Palace.

This time, Yun Weiyang can be said to have become incredibly wealthy. These Heavenly Skills and Earthly Manuals alone are a huge gain that would make any major sect envious. Not to mention, from the memories of the Tai Ming Heavenly Demon, Yun Weiyang also gained a trace of the other party's insights into cultivation.

This is a celestial-level insight, already the limit of the Nine Provinces of Heavenly Origin, enough to allow Yun Weiyang to have a smooth path in demonic cultivation without any further obstacles.

Many of the questions that Yun Weiyang couldn't understand before suddenly became clear under the guidance of this insight, like ice melting away and snow melting.

In the deepest part of Tai Ming Tian Mo's memory, Yun Wei Yang also obtained something that truly moved him.

The Immortal Scripture, still in two volumes.

One volume of the "Great Kalpa Sutra" and one volume of the "Primordial Beginning Sutra".

Unfortunately, both of these immortal scriptures are incomplete. The Great Calamity Scripture is of a mysterious nature and its cultivation method is extremely bizarre, while the Primordial Beginning Scripture is relatively complete and points directly to the realm of celestial immortals. However, this scripture requires starting from scratch and abolishing all one's cultivation.

The Immortal Scripture is of a higher rank than the Heavenly Technique, and is the most top-tier cultivation method in the Nine Provinces of Tianyuan. The appearance of each volume is enough to stir up endless bloodshed in the Nine Provinces of Tianyuan. The Heavenly Technique, as the treasured classic of many major sects, only has a tiny chance of achieving the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit, while the Immortal Scripture, once cultivated to perfection, guarantees the achievement of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit. The two are simply incomparable.

Among the many sects and forces in Tianyuan Nine Provinces today, the Supreme Palace has a copy of the "Tai Xu Jing", the major demonic sects have put together half a copy of the "Tai Shi Jing", the East Sea Dragon Clan has a copy of the "Hong Huang Jing", and the Yunzhou Demon Clan has a copy of the "Da Huang Jing". Apart from these, there are no other immortal scriptures. The most sects' treasured classics are just Heavenly Techniques.

The origin of the Great Calamity Scripture is unknown. It is rumored to be a method of the Heavenly Origin, but rather a method of the Netherworld. The Taiming Heavenly Demon has no answers in his memory about where this immortal scripture came from or who created it.

Back then, the Heavenly Demon Tai Ming searched through all the demonic paths and various righteous and heretical sects in the ten directions and collected this half of the "Great Calamity Scripture" from them. However, since he was about to undergo the Forty-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and had already cultivated the "Tai Shi Scripture", he had no time to cultivate the "Great Calamity Scripture" and thus shelved it.

Yun Weiyang read through the various profound meanings and cultivation methods recorded in the "Great Kalpa Sutra," her eyes gleaming with a strange light, her expression constantly changing.

The first step in cultivating the Great Calamity Scripture requires that the cultivator's cultivation level must reach at least the Golden Core realm, and only those who have reached the first-grade Golden Core are qualified to cultivate it. This alone excludes 99% of cultivators.

Even without a first-grade Golden Core, one can still cultivate the "Great Tribulation Scripture," but the cultivator's cultivation level must have passed through at least the Nine Heavenly Tribulations. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation is used to forcibly cleanse the primordial spirit and soul, making up for the deficiencies in the foundation. Regardless of the method, the threshold is so high that it is despairing.

Yun Weiyang carefully perused the "Great Calamity Sutra," her eyes narrowed, her heart churning with turbulent emotions.

Time, retrospection, anchoring, great calamity, destiny, enlightenment... these words appear repeatedly in the scriptures, outlining a grand and mysterious picture of spiritual practice.

The Great Calamity Scripture is not a divine work where predecessors pave the way and successors simply follow it; rather, it is a sacred scripture that requires practitioners to forge their own paths, face calamities on their own, and find their own anchor points.

The practice of the Great Calamity Sutra requires cultivators to anchor themselves at a coordinate in the endless river of time, using calamities as whetstones and fortune as fuel, and ultimately attaining immortality during the Great Calamity.

Yun Weiyang flipped her right hand and took out the Great Fate Sword. The sword was as black as ink, and the blade shimmered with a cold luster.

"This scroll of immortal scripture was probably not prepared specifically for me."

Yun Weiyang muttered to herself, her expression inscrutable. The Great Fate Sword was a supreme treasure of primordial yang, and the cultivation of the Great Calamity Scripture required the cultivator to anchor their past and present with two supreme treasures of primordial yang. It seemed that Yun Weiyang obtained the Great Fate Sword in order to cultivate the Great Calamity Scripture.

After a moment of silence, Yun Weiyang smiled.

"Interesting, so interesting!"

After a long while, Yun Weiyang finally suppressed her emotions, and the memories of the "Great Calamity Sutra" in her mind slowly faded away, sinking into the deepest part of her soul.

Raising his left hand, Yun Weiyang looked at the faint black lotus mark in his palm. His figure changed, and in an instant, he transformed into the appearance of Tai Ming Tianmo, with black robes, white skin, and five long beards, exuding unfathomable majesty amidst his refined demeanor.

The demonic energy around him transformed into jet-black lightning bolts, piercing into the palm of his left hand. The lightning bolts collided with the mark, emitting a faint hissing sound. The mark swayed slightly before returning to its original state, without any change, as if it were just a gentle breeze.

Yun Weiyang was not surprised to see this, but simply shook his head. The mark left by the Tai Ming Heavenly Demon was not something he could shake with his current cultivation level.

Withdrawing her demonic energy, Yun Weiyang returned to her original form and closed her eyes again.

The next day, Yun Weiyang left the Ninefold Netherworld.

He told Li Qinghe that he was going out to seek opportunities in order to condense a top-grade Golden Core within a year, and Li Qinghe did not stop him.

On the day Yun Weiyang left, Yan Qihui watched her departing figure with a cold gaze; Nong Tingshi sat in the dimly lit side hall, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy old eyes.

Yun Weiyang's body had long been covered with demonic seeds by Yan Qihui, Nong Tingshi, and Li Qinghe. Each of the three had left behind a backup plan, so even if Yun Weiyang wanted to escape, she couldn't. Of course, Yun Weiyang never even thought about escaping.

After leaving the Ninefold Netherworld, Yun Weiyang took a small spirit boat from the spirit boat berth, took off, and flew towards the northwest.
