Shi Feiyang had killed the Five Lascivious Venerable and frightened away his second disciple, the Demon Ancestor, along with Green Robe Ancestor, thus rescuing Ni Fangxian.

Ni Fangxian had just fought against two opponents and had not been able to defeat them, but she was not injured, merely temporarily trapped.

She felt somewhat embarrassed and seeing Shi Feiyang killing the Five Lascivious Venerable, she regarded it as him avenging her, and while thankful, she also worried for him, "That lascivious demon was Xuanyuan Old Monster's favorite disciple. He's always been quite indulgent towards him. If I were to kill him, he would not seek revenge on me due to Jingxu's mediation, but now that the lascivious demon died by your hand, Xuanyuan Old Monster will definitely seek revenge!"

Her reasoning was sound. The Five Lascivious Venerable had provoked the situation. If Ni Fangxian had killed him, the Xuanyuan Dharma King would not disgrace himself by killing Ni Fangxian, partly because it would look unjust, and also because Jingxu would relentlessly oppose him.

Yet, as Shi Feiyang had killed the Five Lascivious Venerable, it gave Xuanyuan Dharma King a legitimate reason to seek revenge.

Indeed, he had helped Ni Fangxian, and Jingxu would definitely not sit by if Xuanyuan Dharma King decided to hunt him down, but Jingxu couldn't always be by his side as a bodyguard. Xuanyuan Dharma King would certainly plan thoroughly before making a move, aiming for a fatal blow and leaving no chance for rescue.

Shi Feiyang, however, just smiled, "The Xuanyuan Old Monster won't come after me for revenge any time soon."

Seeing him speak with such certainty, Ni Fangxian was puzzled, "That old monster can invert Yin Yang and create chaos throughout the arts of divination. Even Jingxu can't entirely predict his movements."

Shi Feiyang said, "On Outer Heaven Divine Mountain, I calculated the movements of the Heavenly Stars and concluded that over the next sixty years, great changes will occur in the weather and earthly conditions. At the same time, the karmic seeds sown between the immortals and mortals in the past will also bear fruit. Then, as the Heavenly Number influences the population, Heavenly Tribulation and Human Tribulation will intertwine, and all kinds of calamities will erupt, which all wise beings are already preparing for."

In the future, within this sixty-year cycle, there will be the Forty-Nine Tribulations of the Independent Immortals from the Daoist tradition and the Millennium Tribulation of the Earth Immortals. This is not simply individual tribulations but a critical juncture due to the turning of the Heavenly Number, with the sense of Heaven and Man interacting, affecting all collectively.

All those who have achieved Golden Core as Independent Immortals and Nascent Soul as Earth Immortals must face these tribulations!

Ni Fangxian suddenly realized why the divination showed that Jingxu needed to borrow a treasure from Shi Feiyang.

Watching the divination she was confused, considering Jingxu's divine power, what difficulty could he have that required borrowing a treasure from someone? But it turned out it was for this reason!

Indeed, the wise were already preparing, even laying the groundwork in advance!

The couples from the Emei Sect, Qi Shuming, and his wife, had reincarnated, as had Master Zhu Mei from Song Mountain. Bai Guyi was going overseas to seclude himself for fifty years. When they returned from facing these tribulations and leaving seclusion, their Daoist power would have substantially changed.

Actually, from the second swordfight to the future Ci Yun Temple swordfight over these fifty years, everything was rather peaceful worldwide. High-ranking individuals from both righteous and evil sects, except for a few foolish ones, were all diligently cultivating in silence.

The state of the Three Immortals and Two Old Men fifty years ago had drastically changed from what it was fifty years later.

In the original text, during the second swordfight, Qi Shuming couldn't defeat the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor. Fifty years later, Xu Feiniang's cultivation and power had surpassed the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor. This means that Qi Shuming from the period of the second swordfight couldn't defeat the later Xu Feiniang!

Meanwhile, Zhu Mei, having reincarnated, avenged Wen Jin, obtained the Langhuan Secret Manual, and even took Shuizijun, a disciple of Master Changmei, as his mentor. By the time the main story began, he had also undergone transformation.

Additionally, Ling Hun, who hadn't acquired the Heavenly Book fifty years ago, not only obtained it fifty years later but had also experienced the process of refining his character in the mortal world in the guise of a beggar after his body was destroyed...

In short, each person was growing continuously with time, constantly transforming in strength.

Months before the future opening of Emei headquarters, the Ascetic Monk transcended. In the years following the opening, Xuanzenzi transcended, and Qi Shuming made rapid progress, becoming the one with the greatest mana among his peers!

As an old monster who had accumulated wisdom over the years, Xuanyuan Dharma King naturally foresaw these events. Even before Shi Feiyang disposed of the Five Lascivious Venerable, he had calculated that Xuanyuan Dharma King was refining several treasures to deal with upcoming heavenly and human calamities and practicing a tremendously powerful spell, having been in seclusion for a number of years. Therefore, he wouldn't be emerging from seclusion any time soon, which is why Shi Feiyang was able to so neatly dispose of the Five Lascivious Venerable.

After explaining this, Ni Fangxian finally felt somewhat relieved and handed a Golden Flower to Shi Feiyang, "If Xuanyuan Old Monster ever comes for revenge, you must use this treasure to notify me. No matter how many thousands of miles away, I will surely rush over to help you."

Shi Feiyang took the Golden Flower, and after discussing it, they decided they couldn't just go back. The Green Robe Ancestor was vengeful by nature and having made an enemy of him today, he would surely seek revenge in the future. This evil old demon was a calamity to the Human World, and so they decided to eradicate his lair together in Bai Man Mountain!

With their plan set, the two rushed to Bai Man Mountain.

Situated in Southern Border, Bai Man Mountain stood isolated amongst thousands of mountains, surrounded on all sides by poor, harsh terrain, twisting ridges and peaks tangled up, with ravines crisscrossing everywhere.

The thick undergrowth, poisonous mists perennially enshrouded the mountain, never dispersing. Even from hundreds of miles away, the area was uninhabited, with no proper birds or beasts in sight, just Poison Insects and strange pythons.

Both of them flew straight to the main peak, where below, numerous Demon Humans were joining forces to cast spells, refining the Golden Silkworm Gu. They wielded banners and swords, directing the Silkworm Gu to a cliffside field of venomous flowers to feast on the poisonous blooms.

Shi Feiyang saw that the leader was a one-armed Demon Human, who was none other than Xin Chenzi. He shouted loudly, "Where is the Green Robe old monster? Tell him to come out and meet his death!"

The disciples of Bai Man Mountain, upon seeing them, did not recognize them. Xin Chenzi yelled, "Who are you? Daring to run wild on Bai Man Mountain?"

Ni Fangxian said sternly, "Why waste words with these demon spawns? Just kill them all!"

She had been feeling frustrated today, first injured by the hands of the Green Robe Ancestor, then encountered the Five Lascivious Venerables, who had slighted and insulted her years ago. Although her enemies were ultimately killed, she did not have the satisfaction of slaying them herself, and during the process, she had also been suppressed by two other Demon Evils.

This time her return to Bai Man Mountain was all about flattening the place and slaughtering them without mercy!

With a point of her finger, Ni Fangxian summoned over a hundred Taiyin Divine Thunders. Golden thunderbolts fell from the sky, striking the plateau on the cliff. Thunderous booms sounded, shattering rocks and sending debris flying.

Two of the Bai Man Mountain disciples were struck by the Divine Thunder and killed on spot, while the rest were left with their Divine Souls reeling, scrambling for cover with their hands over their heads.

Only Xin Chenzi, with his strong magic, hastily shook out the Demon Spring Banner, releasing tens of white waterfalls that stretched over a hundred yards, forming a white dragon that charged towards Ni Fangxian. The water ignited fierce flames, and the flames stirred the earth's qi, merging earth, water, fire, and wind in an all-out assault towards Ni Fangxian.

Ni Fangxian was slightly taken aback upon seeing this Magical Treasure, not expecting that this evil demon could possess such a powerful artifact. She quickly swung her horsetail whisk, dispersing myriad strands which she thrust downwards.

Shi Feiyang did not intervene; instead, he flew towards the cliff's peak where those above released seven Flying Forks, radiating verdant flames, stabbing towards him.

He took out the Cave Spirit Zither and plucked the strings. With just one pluck, the verdant flames on the seven Flying Forks dimmed; another pluck, and the flames disappeared entirely; and with yet another, the Flying Forks, as if struck by lightning, were all blasted back.

Rapidly plucking the zither strings three more times, the seven Bai Man Mountain disciples were all sent reeling back spitting blood, tumbling through the air.

This treasure, although primarily effective against unnatural beings, could also target humans, perfect for crushing the weaker foes.

Two others, stronger in their cultivation, used their Protective Dharma Treasures to fend off the zither music, swearing and sending out Flying Fork Magical Treasures in attack, while also shaking a lengthy banner, casting a spell to capture Shi Feiyang's Primordial Spirit.

Shi Feiyang struck with Suiren's Drill, blasting their Protective Dharma Treasures into fragments. The two standing together—one was enveloped in a burst of fire from Suiren's Drill, while the other, distracted, was struck by the sonic waves when Shi Feiyang flicked his finger, hitting him with seven successive notes that instantly shattered his ribs and ruptured his internal organs, killing him.

Seeing his prowess, the demon followers scrambled to escape for their lives.

Shi Feiyang, using the sword light, captured one fleeing figure and demanded, "Where is the Green Robe old monster? How can he simply watch his disciples being killed and not show himself?"

The youth, ensnared by the sword light, tried to escape using the Flying Fork but to no avail, hitting the barriers several times until the Flying Forks were shredded by the luminescence of the Three Yangs One Qi Sword, exploding in bursts of green fire.

Terrified and pale, he knelt and kowtowed, begging for mercy. Hearing Shi Feiyang's question, he hurriedly answered, "After my master returned earlier, he took the Glazed Tile Palace, filled it with all the Green Worms, and hastily left, saying someone had offended him and fled overseas. He went to pursue that person over thousands of miles to seek revenge and take his life, telling us to continue refining the remaining Gu and take good care of the Silkworm Mother."

Shi Feiyang nodded, withdrew his Flying Sword, and said, "Go!"

Seeing that Shi Feiyang genuinely intended to let him go, the man quickly got up, gave another bow to Shi Feiyang, and turned, vanishing into a whirlwind.

Who would have thought the Green Robe Ancestor would be so cowardly, fleeing before us so swiftly within moments of our arrival.

With the Green Robe Ancestor having slipped away early, continuing to slaughter these small fry seemed pointless. He was about to join Ni Fangxian when suddenly from beside Xin Chenzi, two disheveled individuals brandished banners and swords, urging all Gu on a direct assault towards Shi Feiyang.

Originally, the Green Robe Ancestor had used the Heavenly Scorpion and the Golden Silkworm to crossbreed, cultivating the Hundred Poison Golden Worm Gu. He then captured Bai Guanhong, forcing him to mate with the Hundred Poison Golden Worm Gu to produce offspring.

The offspring of the Heavenly Scorpion and Golden Silkworm, initially devoid of reproductive capabilities, were nurtured by the Green Robe Ancestor who, expending significant effort, bred several Gu Mothers. After mating these with Bai Guanhong, the new breed of Gu, although mostly frail, also included some exceptionally potent ones, nearly ten percent.

The Green Robe Ancestor had slaughtered those weak ones, grinding them into powder, and mixed it with lethal toxins to create smoke, fumigating Bai Guanhong and the Gu Mothers with this poisonous smoke while continually cultivating new species, eventually rearing over ten thousand of these. Later, all were confiscated by Shi Feiyang using Yu Ding, transferred into Bai Guanhong's hands.

The Green Robe Ancestor again forced Bai Guanhong to crossbreed with creatures like Heavenly Scorpion, Green Worm, Guard Palace, Golden Toad, Black Python, Five-step Snake, and various other poisonous insects, breeding successors. Amongst these, the Green Worm breed was a huge success—though individually less ferocious than the Hundred Poison Golden Worm Gu, they possessed many unique functions.

Returning to the mountain this time, he merely took the mountain treasure of the Glazed Tile Palace and the ten thousand Green Worms, escaping to evade disaster.
