The Quest for Immortality

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument stopped rotating.

The purple-black, corrupted power of causality seeped from the Evil Embryo’s palm into the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument, altering the internal decrees of causality.

Evil Power was spreading.

But in the next instant, an ancient force surged from within the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

The pure white Sword Qi of the Heavenly Mechanism began to massacre the purple-black causality of the Evil Embryo.

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument started to slowly rotate again.

In the Poppy Chains, the Evil Embryo’s face was deformed, cold and cruel.

Its bloody hand desperately grasped the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument, trying to prevent it from continuing to operate.

The rotation of the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument soon slowed down again.

But on the Mount of Tao, the strength of the ancient Heavenly Mechanism’s core still made it resolutely complete its deductions according to the predetermined decrees of causality.

The Evil Embryo reached out with another palm, pressing onto the Heaven Instrument.

Even more powerful causal Evil Power entwined itself around the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument seemed to be trapped in the mire of the Evil Path, operating even slower, but in the next instant, the internal causal patterns, like mysterious Formation Patterns, suddenly trembled, and a magnificent power of pure white Heavenly Mechanism spread outward, continuing to slaughter the power of the Fallen Evil God.

This ancient treasure of the Heavenly Mechanism resisted all foreign incursions.

Even the Evil God Embryo could not prevail.

The Evil Embryo’s hands, like those of a corrupted infant, were worn raw by the causal power on the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

The Evil Embryo’s face began to grow fierce, angry, and twisted.

He was the Evil Embryo closest to the Origin of the Evil God.

But in the end, the Evil Embryo was just an Evil Embryo, a nascent form, an embryo at the inception of the Evil God’s descent, without the power of a fully flourishing Evil God.

He must rely on slaughter, bloodshed, fear, despair, and the myriad vile desires of human nature to coalesce a physical form and be reborn.

Before then, he could not break through certain Heavenly Mechanism seals laid by powerful cultivators.

All that he could do was delay the operation of the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument, not change the predetermined outcome. .

The Evil Embryo’s expression was indifferent as he slowly closed his eyes.

He was summoning his ”believers.”

Humans are greedy.

Human nature is corrupt.

The barriers laid by people can only be broken by ”people.”

Soon, his summons received a devout response, and the Evil Embryo opened his eyes, a hint of ridicule flickering in the coldness.

All around, the void quietly split open once again.

A trace of golden causality tainted with Evil Qi emerged once more, encircling the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

The golden causality, a highly sophisticated Heavenly Mechanism technique, entwined around the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

And that wasn’t all.

Another piece of void quickly split open.

A thread of deep blue causality also emerged.

Yet this trace of causal power carried an extremely complex aura, bearing the scent of humans, the aura of Evil Demons, and a hint of the sanguine ”corpse” aroma.

It was impossible to distinguish whether it was human or ghost.

The gold and blue, these two strands of causality were the strongest.

Besides, there were also several more mixed and weaker strands of causal computational power, leveraging the void breached by the Evil Embryo, spreading towards the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument like vines.

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument was tightly ensnared by these dense, degenerative causalities.

The speed of its operation visibly slowed and then became even slower.

Finally, it completely came to a halt.

With his own power and the causal Evil Power of his minions, the Evil Embryo suppressed the operation of the Mount of Tao’s treasure, the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

Next, the Evil Embryo’s purple-black hands began to rewind the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

He wanted to reverse causality, rewrite the decrees.

The golden causality with Evil Qi, the polluted blue causality, were like tree roots.

Other various causal powers were like branches and leaves.

All these forces converged densely, collectively oppressing the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument, creating an opportunity for the Evil Embryo.

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument was indeed suppressed.

But it is the treasure of the ancestor of the Mount of Tao, with inherent causal constancy, which can be suppressed but not reversed nor altered.

No matter how strong the causal power of the Evil God, it could not reverse the Heaven Instrument.

The situation reached a stalemate for a while.

The interlaced, multicolored power of the Evil Gods, and the pure white jade-like power of the Heaven Instrument were both wrestling, locked in a standoff.

For a moment, neither could prevail over the other.

The Evil Embryo, furious, with his purple-black bloody hands, kept slapping and tearing at the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument, but to no avail.

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument was completely unmoved.

Amidst this subtle balance.

On the side of Mount of Tao’s Xuantian Peak.

In the dead of night, atop the towering Sword Observation Tower reaching into the starry sky, a faint trace of energy flew out.

This trace of energy, like a speck of starlight from the heavens, endlessly mysterious.

Yet it was formless, traceless, and colorless.

Coming by chance, arriving in an instant, during the grappling between the Evil Embryo and the Heaven Instrument, it directly merged into the decrees of causality and seeped into the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument.

No one noticed.

The balance was thus broken.

The Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument ”conceded”.

The powerful aura of the Evil Embryo began to gain the upper hand.

The forces of the Evil God’s minions began to run rampant.

The causal structure of the Dao Discussion Heaven Instrument began to reverse.

One by one, the decrees began to be tainted by evil power, with causality being rewritten bit by bit...

Within the Poppy Chains, the Evil Embryo revealed an ugly and cruel smile...

...

All of this took place in the realm of causality, shrouded in layers of concealment.

Besides those involved, almost no one in the entire Qian Learning State Boundary knew about it.

Only Mo Hua suddenly felt a jolt of terror.

He seemed to see an ugly face, smiling at him.

This face was too ugly, both purple and black, like a dead fetus, carrying Evil Qi, hideous and terrifying, full of resentment and greed towards the human world.
