Checking In for Sixty Years, From Puppet Emperor to Heavenly Emperor – Chapter 31

Ch 31: Enter Demon

After delving deep into the forbidden cave, they saw a secluded stone chamber inside. The stone chamber contained only a round platform for meditation. The walls were adorned with reliefs, somewhat resembling the Hundred Flowers Flying Picture, but unfortunately, there were signs of fighting, and many parts of the picture were incomplete.

“Eldest Disciple, what is this place?” One of the disciples couldn’t help but ask curiously.

“This is where the founder of our Hundred Flowers Valley, Hundred Flowers Fairy, secluded herself. The cultivation methods practiced by all the Hundred Flowers Masters throughout the generations were comprehended from the remaining pictures on the stone walls. It’s a pity that we don’t know what happened back then, but the battle here caused a lot of destruction, and Hundred Flowers Fairy also underwent Disassembly Transmission.”

“You can take a look. After this time, I’m afraid this place will be destroyed.” Hua Wuyue looked at the Hundred Flowers Fairy relief on the stone wall with a sad expression and sighed.

Zhou An also looked curiously and noticed that Hua Wuyue, wearing the Hundred Flowers Robe, really resembled Hundred Flowers Fairy. The only difference was their hairstyles.

Hua Wuyue seemed to understand Zhou An’s thoughts and said calmly, “The Flower Spirits don’t have much difference in appearance. It’s common to look similar to Hundred Flowers Fairy.”

“Oh, I thought you were Hundred Flowers Fairy reincarnated.” Zhou An smiled embarrassedly.

After waiting for a while, Hua Wuyue opened a hidden door in the side of the stone wall and had everyone follow her to leave. Staying here was to allow everyone to remember the contents of the reliefs, which might be beneficial for their future cultivation.

After they left the forbidden area, the formation barrier above Hundred Flowers Valley slowly disappeared. At the same time, Hundred Flowers Lady sensed that the Sixth Heavenly Tribulation was approaching. She sat on the balcony at the top of Hundred Flowers Pavilion, and Jie Yun began to gather in the sky. However, instead of lightning, the Jie Yun contained Heavenly Fire, which Flower Spirits feared the most.

The Drunken Taoist and the disciples of Hundred Flowers Valley stood outside, all showing worried expressions.

Soon, white fireballs fell from the sky, descending like meteorites. Hundred Flowers Lady sat cross-legged, forming hand seals. Countless specks of light floated out from the large tree in Hundred Flowers Pavilion, transforming into a green umbrella suspended in the sky.

The Heavenly Fire balls struck the umbrella, and energy exploded, with white fire engulfing the entire pavilion.

At this moment, the green umbrella slowly rotated, scattering ten thousand rays of green light, isolating the Heavenly Fire.

After several minutes of burning, the Heavenly Fire’s energy was exhausted, and the white fire disappeared.

Energy gathered in the sky again, and six Heavenly Fire balls appeared.

Hundred Flowers Lady activated the power of the large tree, channeling it all into the green umbrella, making it even larger.

Soon, the six Heavenly Fire balls fell. This time, the impact was even stronger, and the white fire that erupted instantly engulfed the entire pavilion. If everyone hadn’t been watching from a hundred meters away, they would have all been affected.

No one could see what was happening inside, but the Heavenly Tribulation was still ongoing, indicating that the person undergoing tribulation was still alive.

This time, the burning lasted even longer, almost ten minutes, before the Heavenly Fire’s energy was exhausted.

It could be seen that Hundred Flowers Lady was currently handling the situation with ease, her expression calm and composed, which secretly relieved the surrounding disciples and fellow sisters.

However, the Drunken Taoist frowned instead, not even drinking his wine, and stared intently at the Jie Yun in the sky.

He was also Innate Sixth Level. As a core disciple of the Righteous Oneness Sect, he was very familiar with the Sixth Heavenly Tribulation. His senior brothers had already passed it, and he knew that the most terrifying part of the Heavenly Tribulation was the last one.

The previous ones were just appetizers, and most tribulation failures occurred during the last one.

After that, the third and fourth Heavenly Tribulations were blocked by the green umbrella. During the fifth one, the Heavenly Fire transformed into a pillar of fire. After absorbing all the life force of the large tree, it was barely blocked. The Heavenly Fire pillar disappeared, and the green umbrella also dissipated, while the large tree had withered.

The final Heavenly Fire Tribulation began to condense. Sensing the astonishing power, the faces of the surrounding Hundred Flowers disciples turned pale, and they all showed expressions of fear.

Hundred Flowers Lady formed hand seals, and white petals appeared beneath her, enveloping her. At the same time, a white Mystic Light appeared around her.

Just as she was ready, a white beam of light shot down from the eye of the Jie Yun, striking the petals in the blink of an eye. The entire pavilion was instantly crushed, and even the large tree turned into ashes.

The flowers, plants, and soil within a fifty-meter radius around the pavilion were all shattered and blown away, turning into a large pit. Hundred Flowers Lady floated in mid-air, enduring the impact of the white beam of light.

It could be seen that cracks were beginning to appear on the petals, slowly widening.

Everyone became worried and stared intently at the petals. Only the Drunken Taoist looked at the distant horizon, his brow furrowed.

When Hundred Flowers Lady’s protective petals were shattered, the final Protective Aura endured the bombardment of the light beam. She let out a long roar and instead flew into the sky, resisting the Heavenly Tribulation head-on. Forming hand seals, she emitted a three-colored Mystic Light, directly piercing through the Jie Yun, which had almost exhausted its energy.

However, the Jie Yun did not dissipate. Hundred Flowers Lady’s expression suddenly changed, and she fell into the large pit, her body trembling slightly.

Two disciples beside her panicked and were about to go over, but the Drunken Taoist stopped them and shouted, “Don’t approach! This is the Heart Devil Questioning. This is the most dangerous part. Only by passing the Heart Devil test can one be considered to have successfully passed the tribulation and reach Innate Seventh Level. If she fails, she will Enter Demon.”

At this moment, a man’s laughter came from the horizon, “White Lotus, can you pass your own Heart Devil!”

A purple light appeared on the horizon, flying in front of them in an instant. It was a man who looked only about twenty years old, with purple light shining in his eyes. The Demonic Energy around him caused the surrounding flowers and plants to wither rapidly.

The Hundred Flowers disciples immediately flew out, standing between Purple River Demon Lord and Hundred Flowers Lady. These remaining disciples were all Hundred Flowers Lady’s fellow sisters and their respective disciples. Hua Wuyue had taken away the generation of Hundred Flowers Lady’s grand-disciples.

These new generation disciples had never seen Purple River Demon Lord and had not formed any Karma with him, which was why they were able to leave. Otherwise, Purple River would definitely not have let them go.

“Demon, don’t even think about harming Hundred Flowers Lady.”

All the Hundred Flowers disciples formed a formation, making hand seals. Green light floated out from the surrounding Hundred Flowers, gathering into a formation that surrounded Purple River Demon Lord. Countless colorful lights flowed around him.

“Haha, Hundred Flowers Bewildering Formation, it couldn’t even deal with this Demon Lord a hundred years ago. Break for me!” Purple River Demon Lord’s Demonic Power erupted, and purple energy spread out, directly shattering the green formation map.

The Hundred Flowers disciples were struck by the backlash, and their expressions all changed. They gritted their teeth and released Flying Swords. Various flower vine-shaped Flying Swords flew out, transforming into thousands of vines that fell from the sky.

Purple River Demon Lord instead shot towards the towering vines, his body erupting with purple light, forming a purple Star River Light Sword, colliding with the vine tsunami.

The two forces collided, and the energy light from both sides surged. After only a second of pause, the Purple River Sword pierced through the vine tsunami, and all the vines were severed.

The Hundred Flowers disciples were struck by the backlash of power, and all of them spat blood, their True Energy scattered.

Purple River Demon Lord flew into the sky and laughed loudly at the people below, “White Lotus, you were raised by Water Immortal, and your cultivation was taught by her. But you also played a part in forcing her to death.

Have you forgotten that when you were captured by several Independent Cultivators and were about to be refined into a Magic Treasure, it was Water Immortal and I who stormed into the Independent Cultivator Alliance and forcibly rescued you? Water Immortal was seriously injured because of this, making it difficult for her to break through Innate Sixth Level again.

This is how you repay her? I ask you, how will you face your Heart Devil today?”

“Hahaha, White Lotus, look, Hundred Flowers Valley will disappear from the world forever because of you!”

Purple River Demon Lord laughed and shouted, pointing his right hand. Body-Sword Fusion, his body and Flying Sword transformed into a purple Star River Light Band and charged down again.

Hundred Flowers Lady, who was resisting her Heart Devil, trembled, her forehead covered in sweat, revealing a painful expression.

The Drunken Taoist flew into the air, also using Body-Sword Fusion, his Flying Sword transforming into a blue Mystic Light, intercepting the Mystic Light of Purple River Immortal Sword.

The two sword lights touched, a flash of light, and the two flew apart.

“Righteous Oneness Sect! Meddling in other people’s business.” Purple River Demon Lord snorted angrily, and the sword light flew out again.

The Drunken Taoist fought Purple River Demon Lord for the first time. Although he had heard that this person was powerful, it was only after making contact that he understood that he was more than just powerful.

He patted the gourd at his waist, and the sprayed wine transformed into countless Talismans, burning with flames, all gathering on the sword body, forming a True Fire Talisman Formation Sword Light, and colliding with the Mystic Light of Purple River Immortal Sword again.

The two flew in mid-air, colliding back and forth, and the energy that erupted shook the air, and the ground of the Hundred Flowers Sea was lifted up, and some trees were uprooted by the wind.

After five exchanges, the Drunken Taoist’s sword light was still broken, and he flew from the air to the ground, his True Energy in chaos, revealing an anxious expression.

He didn’t expect to be defeated so quickly. Since he couldn’t regulate his True Energy for a while, he couldn’t cast spells again.

At this moment, the sword light of Purple River Immortal Sword had already rushed into the crowd of Hundred Flowers disciples, and as the light swept across, they were all cut in half.

“No, Purple River, stop!” Hundred Flowers Lady couldn’t bear to watch any longer, and spat out a large mouthful of blood, her eyes bloodshot, her True Energy in her body in turmoil, and the veins on her face bulging.

“Stop? Back then, I knelt down and begged you to let Water Immortal go, but did you ever stop!”

Purple River Demon Lord shouted, and the sword light swept across the ground again, shaving off a layer of the grassland, and the Hundred Flowers disciples on it were all beheaded and turned into ashes.

“Purple River, ah!” Blood tears flowed from Hundred Flowers Lady’s eyes, and monstrous Demonic Energy surged from her body. The original white True Energy quickly transformed into black Demonic Energy.

Purple River laughed when he saw this, “The Master of Hundred Flowers also has a day to Enter Demon, haha, now you are also a member of the Demonic Path, how will you face your ancestors?”

Hundred Flowers Lady roared, and black Demonic Energy soared into the sky, and the White Lotus Sword also turned black, and black sword light flew out.

“Well done.”

Purple River Demon Lord laughed, and the purple sword light met it. The two sword lights collided alternately, spinning in mid-air, forming a storm, and the entire Hundred Flowers Valley was destroyed.

The Drunken Taoist was dumbfounded when he saw this scene, and slapped his thigh in grief and anger, turning into sword light and flying away.

The destruction of Hundred Flowers Valley was within his expectations, but no one could have predicted that Hundred Flowers Lady would Enter Demon.

Originally, everyone had calculated that after Hundred Flowers Valley was destroyed by Purple River Demon Lord, Purple River’s obsession would dissipate, and he himself would die, and the world would lose a great Demon Head.

Now, not only is that not the case, but there is another one. If these two join the Demonic Path camp, then this Righteous-Demonic War will probably be completely reversed.
