Chapter 632

“Ha ha ha! I have finally taken this step, becoming the thirteenth of the big-shot Reversed Demons. This chaotic Yin extreme place indeed holds my worldly opportunities.”
The big-shot Reversed Demons exist at the pinnacle of the Reversed Demons, and Li Hui did not know just how powerful they were, nor did he need to know. At this moment, if he didn’t act soon, he would be stuck here.
The bull-headed ghost crashed into the bright light of the deep well, bursting into flames. The elderly demon reached out with a large hand to grab it; the fierce suction amazed Li Hui. The big-shot Reversed Demon was incredibly powerful! His arm stirred up energy that ignored the chaotic Tai Chi eyes, resembling a chaotic demon god.
“Bang…” The big hand clutched the bull-headed ghost’s arm. Li Hui was quick to react; with the fragments of the triangular mace in his Legal form, he unleashed layers of Non-Return Sword aura, cutting off the bull-headed ghost’s left arm, which fell into the bright abyss like a warrior cutting off his wrist.
Because the bright light softened the Bi Lan corpse, making it weak, Li Hui was able to sever the arm.
“How can this be?!” the elderly demon roared. His form dove down, trying to grab hold again, but the pure Yang energy in the bright light was too dense; it actually seeped into his Demonic Patterns and wreaked havoc. In anger, he crushed the blazing left arm of the bull-headed ghost and had no choice but to turn and retreat from this place.
Li Hui fell alongside the Bi Lan corpse and lost track of time; maybe it had been a stick of incense, or perhaps a month. Just as he struggled to determine the duration, a crash echoed as the pure Yang fire infiltrated his dantian.
“Oh no! What fierce pure Yang fire!”
After examining it slightly, Li Hui shook his head and sighed, “Wait, this is not pure Yang fire; it is Initial Yang Fire! Born from chaos, then from Wujie, next from Tai Chi, and later divided into Yin and Yang. This is the first strand of innate pure Yang fire within the sun, the Initial Yang Fire. If it continues to burn without control or guidance, this Bi Lan corpse will be ruined. However, if utilized for refinement, there’s a chance to return to the roots and forge a true Chaotic Dao Body.”
“Legal form, align!”
As the Bi Lan corpse continued to fall, Li Hui amplified his Legal form to merge with it. Instantly, his spirit was scorched, and he almost fainted.
“Ouch! My spirit has been harmed, but the Initial Yang Fire has burned away all the dark energy from this body, even the aura of death accumulated over time, which is a heavenly opportunity. The dragon offspring’s meridians are different from a human; there are acupoints everywhere like countless stars, and now, to refine the Chaotic Dao Body, I need to completely disperse everything and start over.”
“At this moment, this body is like steel being melted into molten iron; it is the perfect time to inject the steel mold and shape it.”
Li Hui took action. He held the fragments of the triangular mace and continuously sculpted the bones, remarkably carving a human skeleton from the dragon bones, removing all excess parts, refining to the core, and using shattered bones to piece together the severed arm.
“Boom…” The left arm, bathed in Initial Yang Fire, revived. The inscriptions were dense, far more intricate than the skeletal structures all over the body. Soon, the arm bones began to solidify, radiating ninety-nine layers of energy, each layer amplifying strength in an indescribably wonderful way.
Meticulously crafting such an avatar consumed a great deal of his mental effort, but his vitality surged like mercury, and dragon power flowed like the sea. The inscriptions hid within the body, self-evolving, making all his hard work worthwhile.
However, Li Hui had exhausted his spirit and needed to spend a lot of time restoring his energy. So before the body fell, he chose two treasures for nurturing the mind from the treasures in the crystal palace, retreating into the protective range of the Li Gui and falling into a deep sleep.
With the Li Gui guarding him, he was not concerned about the Time Claws searching for him, allowing him to rest relatively peacefully. After an unknown period, the body, looking somewhat weak, fell from the light. The Initial Yang Fire dissipated, leaving only a figure continuing to descend.
This time, it did not take as long; amidst the rumbling, several mountain peaks collapsed, and countless ghostly beings bared their teeth, fleeing, but not escaping the ensuing Yang fire storm.
The brilliant Yang fire raged for fifty-five years. During this time, countless powerful ghostly creatures approached, observing from afar for several days before finally shaking their heads and departing, marking this place as forbidden ground.
Within these fifty-five years, some strange ghosts entered the forbidden area to escape slaughter, gradually forming a small village named Chongguang.
On one day, fifty-five years later, the Yang fire suddenly shrank and disappeared. However, after decades of scorching, eighteen enduring Fire Veins formed on the ground.
These eighteen Fire Veins were distinct from one another, categorized into Thunderfire, Cold Fire, Poison Fire, Ghost Fire, Magnetic Fire, Lava Fire, and so on. The strange ghosts of Chongguang, feeling a loss of protection, became anxious.
Three months later, a powerful Shadow Beast arrived and occupied the Magnetic Fire Vein to begin cultivating. That was when the villagers of Chongguang realized they had encountered extraordinary opportunities.
In the following century, some strong individuals emerged from Chongguang. Due to the emergence of the eighteen Fire Veins, the previously weak strange ghosts that sought refuge here became ghost kings and ghost emperors, stronger than average ghost kings and emperors.
These ghostly path strong individuals did not change Chongguang; it remained like a little mountain village. As time passed, even tales of the ghostly realm began to spread among mortals.
When ghosts prayed for peace and protection, they would first think of Chongguang.
However, this legend might truly become a legend. On the three-hundredth year after the descent of heavenly fire, the eighteen Fire Veins vanished without a trace instantaneously, as if they had never been present.
Eighteen ghost emperors and dozens of ghost kings rushed to investigate. Suddenly, a figure stepped forward amidst the blazing flames. When they heightened their vigilance, the figure had already approached and lightly touched a toothy ghost’s forehead.
Strange symbol flames rose slowly from the forehead of the toothy ghost, transforming into layers of light and shadow that displayed the scenes from the toothy ghost’s memories.
“Eh? Is this the Yin Moon Dynasty? No, it cannot be considered the Yin Moon Dynasty, as it is not included in the territories; it can be called the Wild Ghost Vale.”
The thin and emaciated boy surveyed his surroundings, unafraid of the powerful ghost emperors, and smiled, “You were originally all cowards. Because of some innate talents that did not fear flames, you sought refuge under my wings when you had nowhere else to go. I did not expect that three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and only now have you adjusted your spirits.”
“Who are you?” The ghost kings and ghost emperors of Chongguang possessed a unique trait; they were not barbaric and slowly recalled their memories of living in the world, realizing they had once existed as humans. It was as if they had died and reincarnated in the ghostly vale, still acting according to their previous habits.
The boy suddenly looked up at the sky and murmured to himself, “I originally thought that finding the Yang cave would allow me to traverse to other worlds. Over here is the Yin cave that connects to the Heavenly Realm. It turns out that this other world is the Yin Moon Dynasty. Yet the Heavenly Realm has fallen into darkness. This Yin Realm should be filled with light, but instead, it is heavy with dark energy. Where has the Yang energy of the Heavenly Realm gone? Who devoured such massive amounts of Yang energy and vitality? I fear I have touched upon the greatest secret of the Dharma Demon world.”
“It was you who brought the Yang fire, resulting in the eighteen Fire Veins!” The ghost emperors were astonished.
The boy sighed, “Time is truly a remarkable thing; three hundred years pass in the blink of an eye. For me, it was just a nap, but for many others, it represented a lifetime.”
“Though we are ghosts, we possess hearts that aspire towards the Dao.” The leading ghost emperor bowed deeply and said solemnly, “Thank you for protecting us all those years ago, and thank you for bestowing us with the eighteen Fire Veins. This is a predecessor’s grace; please accept our three bows.”
“Ha ha ha ha!” Watching the ghost emperors and ghost kings bowing to him, the boy laughed heartily, “You are all anomalies that should not exist in the world, yet you have received this fortunate fate. Will you follow me out, or will you stay here? Make your choice! I cannot guarantee that you will achieve the Dao in the future, but I can ensure that you will lead spectacular lives.”
