Shi Feiyang spoke to the Old Demon of Iron City Mountain, "If you have any methods, speak them now. If I find them truly efficacious, I will spare your daughter."

The Old Demon laughed, "For over a thousand years, you are the first to set terms with me. Well, I see you are not one to renege on your word, so I shall tell you!"

At their level of cultivation, indeed they couldn't behave like common thugs. He spoke first, and if Shi Feiyang found the proposal lacking, he could disregard it. However, if he used it, he had to release the Red Flower Princess.

The Old Demon began to explain a task that all direct descendants in their line were bound to undertake—creating Hell!

He mentioned Iron City Mountain, specifically modeled after the "Great Iron Wall Mountain" described in the "Sutra of the Original Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" from Buddhism.

The world of Iron City Mountain predominantly consisted of an ocean, with an isolated island at the center. The island housed a city forged of iron, and in the surrounding ocean lay eight layers of Hell in every direction.

Sha God Child, Jiu Panpo, and the Bodhisattva secluded in North Heaven Mountain, although lacking the power to create new worlds, had all managed to construct Hells within their caves.

Among them, Jiu Panpo's creation was the most orderly, comprising ten major Hells, with the most infamous being Black Hell. It contained seventy-two harsh tortures; even demons imprisoned there found it unbearably excruciating.

Yet more renowned and advanced still was the Stone God Palace.

The Stone God Palace was a Grotto Heaven World opened by the Palace Master of the Stone God Palace, who did not manage to realize a realm as vast as Iron City Mountain—his was merely a complex of palaces due to his early enlightenment, not having the time to expand and meticulously arrange like the Old Demon of Iron City Mountain.

A thousand years ago, the exit of Stone God Palace was originally located at Wudang Mountain.

At that time, Master Changmei and Deng Yin had just commenced their Dao journey and encountered Shen Wuwang, Shen Wujiu, and Shen Wugou at Wudang Mountain, acquiring the Purple Ying and Green Rope immortal swords.

When the Palace Master of the Stone God Palace saw Deng Yin, realizing the karmic bond with his daughter's past life, he fled overnight. He closed the Stone God Palace's exit at Wudang Mountain and opened another elsewhere.

Nevertheless, he could not escape the schemes of others, causing Master Changmei to inadvertently enter the Demon Palace once again, using the immortal sword to sever the "Blood God Scripture," transforming the Good Volume into the Hua Bi Pearl and taking it out.

At that time, Master Changmei saw many pitiful people within the Stone God Palace, enduring various cruel tortures, all appearing young—beautiful women and handsome men.

However, they were all shackled; some were chained by the neck like dogs, some had chains running through their shoulder scapulas, some through their feet, and others through their lower leg tibias. Some bore whip marks, some had their chests and abdomens branded with hot irons, some were cooked in large iron cauldrons, and some were beaten into shattered bones by iron hammers...

They pleaded with Master Changmei, who felt a pang of compassion and intended to plead on their behalf to the Palace Master of the Stone God Palace, who told him these people were all extremely vicious evil spirits.

In reality, what Master Changmei saw that day was less than one-hundredth of it; more fearsome and powerful demons resided deeper within the Hell of the Demon Palace.

The Old Demon of Iron City Mountain told Shi Feiyang, "We don't simply confine and seal the demons in Demon Prison. Instead, using a secret technique of our sect, we connect the demons' essence with the Demon Prison. When setting up the Demon Prison, we use the demons' inherent Primordial Qi to cast. The Demon Prison and the demons share both damage and prosperity. As long as you can relinquish the world you've painstakingly created, you can also relinquish these demons.

For instance, I despise the mundane world and wish to ascend to the Heavenly Demon World. Hence, I seal all the demons within this Grotto Heaven World and directly ascend, leaving. This world where Iron City Mountain resides thus exists independently outside of all heavens. The demons inside, unless one day they become a Buddha or a Demon God, do not have an opportunity to leave. But if that is the case, having attained enlightenment, they represent a different scene altogether.

The karma they generate and their connection with me would be completely different from now. If they each attain enlightenment, we might even gain some merit, though that is unlikely for eons. Here, they kill and devour each other. Over time, they might eventually perish along with this world or grow along with it, perhaps even becoming a small world within the myriad demonic realms."

Hearing this initially, Shi Feiyang felt indifferent, but the more he listened, the more intrigued he became—it truly was a formidable method...

Moreover, this technique, if developed further under the Three Emperors Dao, could lead to many variations. He was on the verge of using the Chaos Dragon Ball to create a world. If he could obtain these Cultivation Techniques from the Old Demon, it could save him much detouring in the future.

He then told the Old Demon of Iron City Mountain to share the methods of world creation and Demon Prison setup with him.

In fact, these were one and the same method, for it involved binding the newly created world's essence with the Divine Demons. Originating from shared livelihood between the master and the Divine Demons, it was impossible to sever, forever entangled.

Utilizing this method, he could bind the Grotto Heaven World with the Great Demons for coexistence, allowing himself to leave yet forever locking the demons within the world, not merely sealing them. After all, no matter how long the sealing lasted, there would always come a day when the demons could emerge...

Seeing his agreement, the Old Demon transmitted the method and ceased to dally, directly implanting this supreme Demon Path Technique into his mind in an instant, followed by all red silhouettes vanishing around them.

Even the "Ghost Gate" ahead vanished, with the voice of the Old Demon echoing from the "Black Hole," as if across countless miles: "Fellow Daoist, born to meet calamities, with the changing of heaven and earth, the path ahead is obscure. With one thought, one becomes a Heavenly Immortal; with one thought, a Demon. Whether it brings fortune or calamity to the beings of this realm all depends on your single thought. I hope you cherish this, till we meet again..."

Following that, the black vortex connecting the two realms vanished into thin air, as though he had never been there.

Shi Feiyang remained with three Divine Flames atop his head, enveloped in violet-green flames, suspended above the rock.

He called out loudly to the space below, "Come out!"

After some time, Red Flower Princess flew up from beneath the Blood Pool, her gaze filled with venomous resentment as she looked at Shi Feiyang.

Before the Old Demon of Iron City Mountain left, he also sent her a thought, telling her that their familial affections had exhausted and this was the last time he would save her. From then on, whether she lived or died, it would have nothing to do with him, and he also erased the Lifebound Divine Spell related to him from the witch's memory.

In other words, if Red Flower Princess ever encountered a life-threatening situation again, she could no longer sacrifice herself to the Lifebound Divine of the Old Demon of Iron City Mountain...

Now, as the overseer Demon God of the Blood God Scripture, the witch is inextricably bound to it.

Undoubtedly, the Blood God Scripture is a supreme secret tome within the Demon Cult, not just coveted by everyone within the cult; many others from various unorthodox paths also desire it immensely.

Yet, for someone of the Old Demon of Iron City Mountain's realm, the Blood God Scripture is something they dread and avoid at all costs.

Originally, the Palace Master of Stone God Palace should have achieved enlightenment one thousand three hundred years ago, but because he was a Great Elder within the Demon Cult, he had to guard this Demon Scripture due to the vow he took when he joined the cult.

The Palace Master of Stone God practiced the Blood God Scripture, and in theory, when cultivated to its limit, he should enter into the scripture and become the overseeing Demon God, waiting for the next practitioner...

Yet, he couldn't destroy this Demon Scripture… It was quite a dilemma, particularly when his daughter, in trying to reunite with Deng Yin, took an oath to the Demon God within the scripture, further complicating matters.

Because of this, he lingered for another two to three hundred years but still couldn't free himself and was not willing to enter into the Demon Scripture, left only to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation...

Just then, Master Changmei was born in accordance with fate and received guidance from the Mad Monk. He entered the Demon Palace intending to destroy the Demon Scripture. The Palace Master of Stone God Palace, therefore, devised a plan, letting Master Changmei turn the Good Volume into a Hua Bi Pearl to take away, leaving only the Evil Book to help his daughter in the future. He hadn't expected his daughter to fail, and he could only achieve enlightenment and depart first.

Thus, while others desperately sought the scripture, the Old Demon of Iron City Mountain would not want it, even if Shi Feiyang offered the scripture and Red Flower Princess together.

Shi Feiyang told Red Flower Princess, "Now that the Demon Scripture is in my hands, you must know the consequences and quietly cultivate here, without causing any more trouble!"

Biting her teeth in hatred, Red Flower Princess glared at Shi Feiyang, her eyes nearly bursting with flames, but ultimately, she said nothing more.

Shi Feiyang withdrew his Primordial Spirit from the Blood God Scripture and returned to his body, opened his eyes, and looked thoughtfully at the Demon Scripture inside the white lotus.

Creating a world is an enormously complex and super-large-scale project, and there are very few spells in the world that can compare to such a feat.

The information that the Old Demon of Iron City Mountain transmitted to him was only for a moment, but if all the content that had entered his mind were to be written down, illustrated, and complied into books, it could fill numerous skyscrapers!

And that was only the part that could be expressed through language and graphics, constituting only one ten-thousandth of the whole; the remaining 99.99% was something that could only be understood intuitively and could not be conveyed through words.

Digesting so much information, even Shi Feiyang would need a lot of Heart Power and time.

Silently, within the Demon Palace, he elaborated these teachings within the framework of the Three Emperors Dao and compared and integrated them with his previous learning.

As days passed, one day, visitors suddenly arrived at the Seven Absolute Palace.

It was Zhuge Jingwo from the Emei Sect.

Zhuge Jingwo should have achieved enlightenment in his lifetime, but years ago, Shi Feiyang disrupted his Dao Level. After reincarnation, he underwent hardships that significantly improved his temperament and foundation.

Originally, his natural talents and foundation were much poorer than his fellow disciples, only slightly above average and certainly not comparable to the outstanding ones, achieving cultivation solely by diligence and perseverance coupled with a resolute character. This time, his foundation was not much different from his peers, and he was cultivating at a much faster rate.

Now, appearing youthful, dressed in a plain and neat blue attire, his eyes clear and his demeanor ethereal.

The Emei Sect was the sworn enemy of the Seven Absolute Palace, and Deng Yin was particularly determined to exterminate all its members.

Yet, he dared to come here, showing incredible bravery as the disciples of the Seven Absolute Palace immediately surrounded him, ready to fight or kill.

Xuanzhenzi had sent him, accurately predicting that Deng Yin and the other two were in seclusion and that the disciples had just suffered a harsh defeat in the West Sea. The most powerful few Great Demons were killed at the West Pole Mountain, leaving the rest either with insufficient Mana or severely injured in their Primordial Qi.

Since Zhuge Jingwo was not far from becoming a Heavenly Immortal and his mastery of the Invisible Sword Energy of the Taiqing Mysterious Sect was impeccable, he moved swiftly, disappearing and reappearing unpredictably. He dodged all attacks and used his Invisible Sword Energy to retaliate, holding back at just the right moments.

In an instant, all the disciples of the Seven Absolute Palace were subdued, knowing that even if they all attacked together, they weren't enough to withstand his slashes of Invisible Sword Energy...

Zhuge Jingwo then spoke calmly and firmly, "I come from Emei Mountain, under the commands of my master, specifically to find Master Yuan Yang and deliver a letter and token. Please pass on my message."
