Volume 1: The Demon Prince Chapter 239: The Return
The half-moon slowly rises from the distant coastline, the tide rises and falls, the waves beat against the smooth stone wall, splashing snow-white waves, shining with a faint brilliance under the bright moonlight, making the dark night, a little more bright light, but also a little cold.
On the shore beach where the sand and gravel are piled up on the seaside, there are many large and small pebbles, which are eroded smooth by the flowing water, a young man in white is sitting cross-legged on one of the big rocks, with a xylophone in front of him, and his slender snow-white hands are randomly placed on the strings, quietly looking at the ebb and flow of the tide in the distance, his eyes are calm and far-reaching, clear but complex, and there is a hint of indescribable taste.
After a long silence, the boy came back to his senses, his fingertips crossed the strings, a touch and a pick, a beautiful tune flowed, the sound of the piano was crisp and ethereal, ubiquitous and hard to find, the light and clear tune seemed to have the power to smooth everything, and the holy light shrouded him, making him even more transcendent.
The sound of the piano drifted far away in the empty night, the fishermen on the shore stopped busy, the passers-by raised their heads and stopped to listen, and even the schools of fish chasing and hunting on the bottom of the sea stopped swimming.
The light and tactful melody relieves all the troubles and sorrows, and the creatures who hear the sound of the piano quietly close their eyes to experience, and the people who are incomplete in the five tones also hum softly, no longer have to work hard for tomorrow's survival, no longer have to be confused for the days ahead, and will no longer be sad about the future, at this moment, except for eternal peace, other things are not important.
Through some wonderful notes, a vivid picture also emerged in their minds, in ancient times, the three orders of heaven, earth and man collapsed, and the sudden catastrophe of heaven and earth swept the world, and the harsh living environment and mutated ghost people's hearts caused an unprecedented huge turmoil.
In this history, known as the era of disaster, the demon ancestor Kunpeng led his subordinates to rise in chaos, overcoming obstacles and bloody battles against strong enemies along the way, going through hardships and dangers, and establishing a transcendent pure land that dominated the side in the northwest edge that was on the verge of shattering, providing a safe place for the demon clan from all walks of life.
The original intention of this place was to provide a refuge for all races in troubled times, but later due to the continuous expansion of its scale, it had to be converted into a holy place, allowing countless cultivators who were suffering from war to flock to it, and at the same time, it also absorbed a large number of strong people, and its strength became stronger and stronger.
However, the rapid growth of the Holy Land has attracted the jealousy of the strong people of all races in the troubled times, coupled with the mixed personnel in the territory, the good and the bad, and the internal contradictions continue to squeeze, and this newly established Pure Land has also come to the edge of the cliff.
Later, the Kunpeng Demon Ancestor listened to the instigation of the traitorous ministers, formed a vanguard army, and decided to send troops to intervene in the chaos of the world, but unexpectedly fell into the trap arranged by the joint efforts of various ethnic groups, and the vanguard army was annihilated, and he was also imprisoned, and was attacked by the combined efforts of several taboo powerhouses.
The Kunpeng Demon Ancestor was seriously injured and beaten to death, and disappeared after breaking out of the siege, and the news of the defeat was transmitted back to the Holy Land, and a long-planned rebellion was launched, two of the five major families in Beihai openly raised the banner of rebellion, encircled and suppressed the Kunpeng clan, and when the other three families reacted and suppressed the rebellion with all their might, there was no survivor in the entire Kunpeng clan.
A vigorous war ended hastily, the various races outside the demon world were afraid of the danger of the boundary wall, and did not dare to invade on a large scale, and the rebels within the demon clan were also blackened, and the agreed reinforcements did not come, and they were all wiped out by the angry three families, but the holy land was also hit hard, and the shrinking forces retreated to the sea, and since then they have been in a state of decline, and gradually faded out of the sight of the world.
After hundreds of thousands of years of chaos in the demon world, the major powerful clans have successively shown their majesty, divided their territories, and ruled the territory, and their arrogance has completely replaced the status of the holy land in the minds of the demon clans.
At the end of the Calamity Era, the forces of the Nine Realms gradually stabilized, and the eight clans established political power one after another, only the Demon Realm was still in dispute, and the two overlords were unable to solve the opponent for a long time, one of the overlords in order to dominate the Demon Realm, bowed down to a major force in the Xuan Realm, intending to unite external forces to destroy the enemy.
The other force was losing and retreating, and its territory shrank again and again, and it seemed that it was about to be destroyed by a strong enemy, but at the moment of the decisive battle, the Holy Land suddenly attacked, showing a strong strength far beyond the two overlords, and wiped out all the overlords who colluded with foreign races.
Regardless of the restraint of other circles, he forcibly obliterated the reinforcements sent by the overlord of the Xuan Realm, which greatly reduced the strength of the overlord, barely supported it for just a few hundred years, and also embarked on the road of destruction, and the connotation of hundreds of thousands of years was all scraped by other forces in the Xuan Realm.
The strong strength shown by the Holy Land made the races that coveted the demon world frightened and changed, and also dispelled countless potential enemies, in exchange for a stable peace for the demon world, and the other overlord knew that he was invincible, and took the initiative to give up the status of the lord of the first world, but he did not expect that the holy land had no intention of fighting, and after the first battle, he retreated to the sea again, without the intention of expanding to the world.
After the Nine Realms were completely calm, a new order and pattern were established, the major forces signed an alliance in the Central Xuan Realm, and it was also the Holy Land that represented the Demon Realm to participate, which was also the last time it openly appeared in everyone's sight, until millions of years passed, and no relevant news had been heard, but the shadow of the Holy Land has since imprinted the hearts of all the demon clans.
The picture flickered, the splendor of the past dissipated into foam, the sound of the piano turned soft, and another scene appeared in front of me, a pure land of peace and tranquility, undisturbed by worldly strife, transcendent and extraordinary.
The creatures here have their own way of being, and although they are strong in cultivation, they also work like ordinary people, living with their own industrious hands, free and carefree, and they don't have to worry about survival.
The ruler has a strict order, defending his status and the safety of the Pure Land, but he never interferes too much with the freedom of the people.
In their hearts, the only thing that remains is the firm belief of the guardian party, which is order and perseverance, maybe there was confusion before, there was wandering, there was blood, there was darkness, but now what is left is that eternal peace.
Many years ago, a wanderer of the Terran strayed into the Pure Land, and after a series of inspections and tests, he was allowed to live here temporarily, and he saw a living environment that was completely different from the outside world, and was infected by this peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
He stayed here for three years, treading the land inch by inch, and when he left, he composed a song of his own accord and gave it to the owner of the holy place at that time, and the friend he had made here.
The Holy Lord just kept it as a precious gift, but he didn't expect that the wanderer would use this song to set off storms in the outside world, and people coveted its amazing power, but until the wanderer disappeared, no one found the whereabouts of this song.
It wasn't until many years later, when the Holy Lord was old, and in his twilight years, when he was sorting out old things and remembering the past, that he accidentally turned to this piece and really understood the wanderer's intentions, so he placed it in the valley where the wanderer lived, and allowed future generations to observe it, as long as they could comprehend the mystery of it, they could take it away.
Unfortunately, after millions of years, no one could get the approval of that song, and over time, the Pure Land forgot about that valley, until one day, the valley suddenly bloomed with holy light, and the sound of the song wafted within the radius, and people realized its existence again.
On that day, a young man crossed the vast sea alone on a lonely boat and came here, the young man's name was He Fanyin, and the song was called the Holy Spirit Song, and that pure land on earth was the holy land of Beihai.
He Fanyin once realized the valley, in the Beihai cultivation for more than 30 years, the terrifying cultivation talent shocked the entire holy land, and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit Song, he found the second song of the Nine Songs of Tianxing.
The Holy Lord intended to cultivate him with another person to create a double master for the future Beihai, but he insisted on leaving and returned to the Gods and Demon Dynasty, which made the Holy Land sigh for a long time.
And at the moment of He Fanyin's death, in the distant Beihai Holy Land, a mournful song could be heard around that valley, and the Holy Lord couldn't help but feel a pity that the Dao Master's mastery would be lost again, but it didn't take long for the mourning in the valley to gradually dissipate, replaced by a strange fluctuation that had never been seen before.
Coincidentally, during that time, it was the time when Yeyang followed Qiao Ran and the others into the Inland Sea......
The song depicts the past of those days, but others listen to only the beautiful melody, but it is difficult to read the meaning, and at the end of the song, the nearby creatures seem to have been wonderfully baptized, their faces are renewed, and they are full of vitality, while the boy on the stone is as calm as ever.
This young man's name is Yeyang, and he is the second person in a hundred years who has resonated with the Holy Spirit Song, and the music he plays contains the mystery of the understanding in the valley, but the place where he is now is not the holy land of the North Sea, nor any part of the sea, but the edge of the vast sea, he has left the North Sea safely, and is about to embark on the return journey.
Yeyang is still in a trance, and the trip to Beihai, which made him jealous, ended so simply, unexpectedly smooth, and no one could ease it all at once.
He stayed in the holy land with Zhang San and Li Si for three months, thinking that the matter of He Fanyin was inevitably hindered by some radicals, but from beginning to end, he did not see a single person showing hostile eyes to them, but he was warmly welcomed, which made Yeyang a little flattered.
Zhang San felt that it was Beihai's delaying tactic, the purpose was to drag them down, and suggested that Yeyang meet the Holy Lord directly, but before he could say anything, the two old men came to the door in person and had a face-to-face conversation with Yeyang for three days and three nights, explaining all the doubts and misunderstandings.
The two of them expressed their hearts on behalf of the Holy Land, clarifying their views on the struggle between the two clans, in their hearts, they actually didn't want such a large-scale consumption to occur within the demon world, but the adherence to that order also made them unable to intervene, and they didn't even adjust it, allowing it to develop freely.
The old man said, no matter what situation the war turns into, Beihai will not interfere in right and wrong, openly and secretly, and will not help either side, the Earth Demon Kingdom and the God and Demon Dynasty can find help in the various races in the demon world, but they cannot take action against the races living in the sea area, including wooing or attacking.
And the old woman also emphasized that Beihai does not fight or grab, but it does not mean that he is afraid, as long as anyone dares to move a knife against the holy land, he must be prepared for the destruction of the whole clan, Beihai is the holy land of the demon clan, it was before, it is now, and it must be in the future, and even forced Yeyang to make a blood oath on the spot, the wolf clan will never take the initiative to be an enemy of Beihai.
Heavenly Dao blood oath, swearing by Heavenly Dao and bloodline, usually has no slightest impact, but once the oath is violated, it will be abandoned by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and there will be no way to cultivate, to make this kind of oath, although Yeyang is a little hesitant, but under the combination of soft and hard between the two, he still has no choice but to swear.
And in exchange, Beihai will also find a way to erase the Dao wounds of the living soul sigh for Yeyang, with the eyes of the two of them, they naturally saw the situation of Yeyang at this time, since the wanderer left the Holy Spirit Song in Beihai, the Holy Land has also been obtaining other songs through various channels, but after millions of years, only the seventh of them has been found, that is, the sigh of the living soul.
This time, He Fanyin returned to Beihai again, and he also made a blood oath, and the exchange he asked for was exactly this creature sighing, and the two old men didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he would be able to comprehend the fur from the song and hurt Yeyang to this point.
The two old men expected that no matter how powerful the creature was, after all, it was just a junior shot, and it would be good to be able to barely show his power, and there was nothing serious, but after taking a closer look, they both frowned.
The Dao wound in Yeyang's body is deep-rooted, not like it was just caused, but it has accumulated over the years, the two of them have tried their best, racking their brains, but they are still helpless, and finally the old man clarified this dilemma to Yeyang, bluntly saying that they can't do anything, the Dao injury in Yeyang's body is closely related to the origin of life, if you go all out, I'm afraid it will hurt his life.
If you want to completely eradicate it, you can only rely on the rich life vitality nourishment, and then borrow the power of your own rules to wipe it out, the old man's suggestion is to let Yeyang take more life attribute herbs, and nourish it with life vitality for a long time.
In the end, the Beihai Holy Land could only meet the conditions within Yeyang's ability, and Yeyang proposed to go to the valley where the Holy Spirit Song was hidden to cultivate, but the old woman just shook her head and told him that the things there didn't actually belong to Beihai, and as long as he had the ability to activate it, he could take it away directly, which was nothing to consider.
These words made Yeyang's vigilance against Beihai disperse, and he sincerely admired the bearing of the holy land, and did not make excessive requests, but just asked for a pool of pure water, pure water is the essence of water, and its value is extremely precious, but compared with other possible conditions, it is not so important, and the old man readily asked someone to take a copy and give it to Yeyang.
For the next three months, the night sun spent in the holy land of the North Sea, like an ordinary person, the sun rose and the sun set, tasted the peace in their hearts, walked the entire central sea with their own steps, and at the end of the first month, they really stepped into the valley full of echoes.
But the first time I just walked more than 20 steps, I was drowned out by endless sounds, I had a splitting headache, and I had to quit, Yeyang was not discouraged, and after going back to rest and recuperate, I continued to polish and temper the realm of my heart, and at the end of the second month, I walked into the valley again.
This time Yeyang tried to assimilate himself, merging with the drifting notes, and took more than four hundred steps, but he was still far from reaching the middle of the valley.
This sat for a whole month, and after a month, the night sun got up and calmly entered the valley, and at that moment the holy light bloomed in the valley, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire North Sea, and the holy light flickered for three days and three nights, and stopped in the early morning of the third day.
Yeyang walked out of the valley in the eyes of everyone in the Holy Land, and on the surface it looked no different from before, but the transcendent temperament revealed invisibly made people look sideways, he didn't say a word, just nodded at the two old men, showed a clean smile, and took Zhang San and Li Si and left the central sea area directly.
Under the night moon, on the coast, Yeyang looked up at the horizon in the distance, which was the direction of the North Sea, he smiled lightly, put away the lonely Tongqin and turned around calmly, and embarked on the journey back......
