My construction materials are weird

Inside the Void Ruin World.

Xuan Huang released the Soul Demons from their confinement.

Instantly, the group of Soul Demons erupted in chaos, finding the situation very similar to the 'Human Abominations' of their ancient legends.

Powerful, mysterious, dangerous, and impossible to defeat were the characteristics of those called Human Abominations.

And now, their own kind had been captured by a Human Abomination.

Weren't Human Abominations born from the lingering obsessions and resentment of dead demons?

Weren't they supposed to be devoid of intelligence?

Why did this Human Abomination seem so intelligent, unlike the mindless Human Abominations they knew?

Could it be that this wasn't a Human Abomination at all?

"Meow?"

It was as fast as a bolt of black lightning.

Arriving before the unsealed Soul Demons, the Xuan Cat couldn't help but drool.

The aura of these Soul Demons was so delicious; it really wanted to devour them all.

"Master, are these my food?"

The Nine-Lives Xuan Cat asked eagerly.

"Bang!"

Before Xuan Huang could reply, a black tree root flashed out, striking the Xuan Cat far away like a whip.

A very lively tree root suddenly emerged, its end caressing the trembling Soul Demons as if cherishing a baby.

The Jian Mu had also arrived, having discovered a rich aura of vitality.

But!

"Whoosh!"

A black and white light flashed, separating the root that was caressing them, as the Great Millstone was also attracted.

What kind of divine soul was this?

How could it be so extraordinary? It hadn't been refined and tested yet, so Jian Mu couldn't be allowed to devour it alone.

Soul Demons: ...

The Soul Demons were already dumbfounded.

Where had they arrived? First, it was a Human Abomination.

Then, a cat that seemed like a black hole was drooling over them, making the Soul Demons feel like they had encountered a natural enemy.

They were about to be devoured!

And while the black cat was still drooling, an even more terrifying tree root appeared.

That dense aura of life and death, the aura of the cycle of life and death, made the demons even more uncomfortable than their natural enemy.

Their divine souls couldn't help but want to merge into the tree root, becoming a part of the cycle of life and death.

It was as if self-Daoization into the tree root was more perfect than their lowly existence.

That was the highest state of life, and they seemed ugly in comparison; what was the point of living?

This was too terrifying; their minds and bodies completely wanted to sacrifice themselves.

But, it wasn't over yet.

Another black and white millstone arrived; if the black cat exuded the aura of a black hole, then this millstone was an abyss.

An bottomless abyss, whose mere presence caused their soul crystals to tremble, as if their divine souls would turn into nothingness.

Where was this place?

So terrifying!

Just as they were in despair, the Human Abomination waved its hand, and the three terrifying fellows were all chased away.

Xuan Huang couldn't help but laugh.

It seemed that the Demon Realm was a good place; his major treasures and spirit beast generals all liked it a lot.

Even the honest and simple furnace was sending out waves of desire to him.

It wanted to refine those dead Blood Demons.

It wasn't interested in the Soul Demons.

Xuan Huang waved his hand, and the furnace received its instructions, as a suction force was transmitted.

"@#..."

The Soul Demons shouted loudly, whether it was for help or some other unknown cry.

Just when they were in despair, they discovered that the huge suction force wasn't directed at them, but at the corpses lying beneath their feet—the Blood Demons.

Immediately, they knelt on the ground and spoke in the Demon language, no one knew what they were thinking.

It was meant to convey loyalty and beg for mercy, and they even made the most vicious oaths as guarantees.

Xuan Huang didn't pay attention, first wanting to see why the three treasures so wanted to refine them.

"Boom!"

The Heaven and Earth Furnace was at full power, instantly refining the corpses of the Blood Demons.

After all the essence of the Blood Demon corpses was refined, streams of gray aura were absorbed by the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Under Xuan Huang's mental probe, the Heaven and Earth Furnace solidified a little.

"Heaven and Earth bear Yin and embrace Yang, and all things contain the two opposing yet complementary energies of Yin and Yang. Could it be..."

The human realm is Yang, and the demon realm or the underworld is Yin.

All things in Heaven and Earth are like this, except for those who transcend Yin and Yang.

For example, the Void Ruin, Chaos, etc., which are not within Yin and Yang.

But, there is still the problem of breaking the circle.

Seemingly, the Void Ruin World transcends Yin and Yang, but it is only the Yin and Yang of this realm, and even the Yin and Yang of this realm have not broken through.

There is always a higher mountain, and one sees different scenery from different heights.

Seemingly transcending Yin and Yang, but what is transcended is only a small branch of the Yin and Yang Great Dao, and the Yin and Yang Great Dao has not been transcended at all.

The Heaven and Earth Furnace seems powerful, seemingly not needing the balance of Yin and Yang.

But the truth is that it still needs it.

Refining the Blood Demons, which represent Yin, made it condense and solidify, resulting in a small improvement.

"In this case, the Demon Realm really came at the right time."

After some calculations, Xuan Huang understood many mysteries.

But he generally understood the reason.

That is, the three treasures also need the unique Yin of the Demon Realm, or the true meaning of Yin.

Even the Tongtian Jian Mu, which controls life and death, actually has the need for Yin-death Yin-life, and Yang-death Yang-life.

Yin and Yang must be opposed and unified to be complete.

Yin-death Yang-life, Yang-life Yin-death, this is a cycle of reincarnation.

Only when life and death are united with Yin and Yang can it be called reincarnation.

The Yin and Yang here are not simply the Dao of Yin and Yang, but also a concept.

"If it is said that the three treasures wanted to advance to the Third Order Cave Profound before, the first was to devour and refine Third Order Anomalies, and the second was to accumulate Yin and Yang to perfection after a long accumulation and advance on their own."

"But devouring the Third Order is very difficult, and self-accumulation is too long. If there is the true meaning of the Demon Realm creatures, it is equivalent to having a way to improve quickly."

The Second Order is the beginning of Yin and Yang.

Not to mention the three treasures, the Second Order method deduced by Xuan Huang is also the initial cultivation of Yin and Yang.

No matter what method is used in the First Order Transcendence, if there is a general term, it is the One of the beginning of Chaos.

The Second Order is the Two of One divided into Two, the beginning of the initial comprehension of Yin and Yang.

The Third Order is the Three of Yin and Yang differentiation, Three is all things, and the Fourth Order is to seek the truth among all things, and condense one's own unique True Self.

The cultivation method of the Inner Heaven and Earth is to imitate the way of the opening of Heaven and Earth.

It's just that no matter the One of Chaos, the Two of Yin and Yang, the Three of Three Talents, etc., they are all rough imitations, small comprehensions.

They cannot achieve the completeness of the beginning of Heaven and Earth.

The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things.

The Dao is one's own body and mind, the whole mind, body, and soul, and will that are metaphysical and physical.

Explore One from one's own small universe, and One differentiates into Two…

Having figured out the desires of the three treasures, Xuan Huang knew what to do.

There was also a change in attitude towards the Demon Realm.

"What needs to be strived for is that even if we can't occupy the Demon Realm, we must try to kill the Demon Realm demons as much as possible. After all, it is useful to the three treasures."

Xuan Huang made a decision.

However, this decision wasn't firm, lacking the resolute determination to conquer the Demon Realm.

After all, the Three Treasures refining demons were only a catalyst.

The Blue Star main world was the key. Refining even a Third-Order Aberration would advance the Three Treasures.

The Demon Realm was merely an option, not a necessity.

Afterward, Xuan Huang waved his hand.

Without any mistakes!

Receiving the order, the Jianmu and the Gui Xu Great Mill divided the Soul Demon equally.

Amidst the Soul Demon's screams, Xuan Huang ended this exploration.

The gains were considerable, but the crisis he faced had also grown a little.

If the disciples under his command thought similarly to him, then they would definitely take action, vying for resources with the Demon Realm.

Especially the Martial Dao Alliance, they wouldn't give up on Black Gold, as it concerned their Qi Sea weapon refinement.

Even if other forces didn't participate, they would.

Indeed!

After Wu Gang and the others returned, the major forces, after discussion, decided to continue developing the Black Gold Secret Realm, including mining and preparing to deal with demons.

However, the experts were still engaged in battle in the Blood Moon Realm and couldn't return temporarily.

They would prepare slowly, gradually mining the Black Gold veins without alarming the demons of the Demon Realm.

They would also adapt to the uncomfortable state under the Demonic Qi.

Making thorough preparations.

Even if discovered by the demons of the Demon Realm, they would have a group of cultivators adapted to the Demon Realm's aura, avoiding chaos.

In addition, they were investing heavily in transforming the Black Gold Secret Realm, building roads and making various contingency preparations.

For example, setting up layers of checkpoints and firepower in the Black Gold Secret Realm's sinkhole to prevent a large-scale invasion by the demons of the Demon Realm.

The major forces' plan was to focus on careful mining and defense for the next three months, while also establishing powerful defensive positions and structures.

After pacifying the Blood Moon Realm's Ding'an Prefecture in two months and formally commencing 'exchanges' with the major forces of the Blood Moon Realm, without short-term threats, most of the experts would return.

Then, they would officially begin developing the Blood Soul Realm.

In three months, the experts of the four major forces were confident of reaching the peak of the Entry Stage, and the Devouring Star Vines they were cultivating would all enter the Transcendent stage.

Even the second batch of Devouring Star Vine seeds released a month later would also enter the Transcendent stage.

By then, the entire Green Cloud Mountain would have at least thirty to forty Transcendent combatants, and they wouldn't fear confrontations with the Demon Realm.

The worst-case scenario was the Demon Realm attacking, and they engaging in a great battle between Blue Star and Demon Realm beings.

By then, they would hold a dominant advantage and wouldn't fear the threat of the Demon Realm's Transcendents.

Therefore, everything was being carefully prepared.

… …

Thus, a month passed.

The first month of the ninth year of the Aberrant Revival.

The word to describe this first month was 'chaos'.

The ninth year seemed to have entered the climax of the Aberrant outbreak.

Previously, the top online traffic was the daily news released by the cultivators of Green Cloud Mountain.

Such as what changes had occurred in Green Cloud Mountain, what techniques the Mystics had created.

What new forces the Green Cloud Mountain cultivators had established, how many cultivators had come to Nan City, what great innovations the cultivators had made, and so on.

These messages constantly appeared, dominating the mainstream of the Aberrant Network for a long time.

Even if some Spirit Masters found it uncomfortable, how many Spirit Masters were there compared to cultivators?

They were no match at all. Spirit Masters couldn't compete with the popular topics participated in by countless cultivators.

Here, it was a competition of numbers, not cultivation levels.

In short, various online trends were often formed because of Green Cloud Mountain.

But!

In the past month, Green Cloud Mountain was no longer the mainstream.

Because the Mystics were in seclusion, reportedly in closed-door cultivation.

And in the new month, Aberrants were the mainstream. Mass outbreaks of Aberrants constantly appeared, causing huge losses each time.

The entire Spirit Master and cultivator world was suffering unspeakably.

Not to mention other places, Nan City alone had eighteen Aberrant incidents in this one month.

It might also be that Nan City's population was growing, and with more people, there would be more troubles. With a large base, the probability of triggering Aberrant rules was also high.

Fortunately, Nan City had formed a very strict mechanism.

In addition, Nan City had many experts. Each crisis was not only a crisis but also points.

The Spirit Masters of Green Cloud Mountain actively participated, and the cultivators were even more so.

If they couldn't solve it themselves, couldn't they summon the Void Blade?

Everyone calculated that the points for summoning the Void Blade were only one-third of an Aberrant's.

Wasn't that very cost-effective?

Therefore, the eighteen new Aberrant incidents in Nan City caused no harm.

They were solved by the high-level officials of the new Nan City government, the high-level officials of the four major forces, and the rogue experts who wanted to earn points by summoning the Void Blade.

Even the First-Order Aberrants that Xuan Huang hadn't cleaned up were wiped out in the mighty tide.

Only three Second-Order Aberrants remained, and no one had dealt with them yet.

It wasn't that they didn't dare, it was said that the Mystics instructed them to handle them themselves.

One was the Aberrant Building, one was the Aberrant Road, and one was the newly emerged Aberrant Well.

The Aberrant Mirror, which was once at the peak of the First-Order and was mistaken for a Second-Order, was also solved by three Buddhist experts successively summoning the Void Blade.

This was a downtown area with potential for development.

After the Buddhist sect solved the Aberrant Mirror Aberration that sealed off a two-kilometer radius, they began large-scale construction, planning to build a large Buddhist temple and an important stronghold.

Previously, it was an Aberrant land. Whoever solved the trouble would develop it.

If you want to build on a large scale in the downtown area of Nan City, you need to pay.

Buying and selling was not feasible. The downtown area had been acquired by major forces and the new government, and it would cost too much to buy it.

Moreover, as a dignified major force, if you want to open your doors to welcome guests, you need to make a splash and make a contribution.

After calculating, the Buddhist sect solved the Aberration here.

This situation made the Town Evil Department dumbfounded.

Especially the Dai Yue headquarters that had just merged into the Nan City Town Evil Department.

They felt that this style was not right.

No wonder the cultivators and Spirit Masters of Nan City were on an equal footing.

When something happened, the cultivators really stepped up.

They even leveled all the Aberrations in Nan City without the need for Spirit Masters.

And they solved them with a unique style, smiling happily.

After all, they made a lot of money.

When this kind of interest-driven situation occurs, the situation is completely different.

In the first month of the ninth year, other places were filled with wailing, while Nan City was full of vitality.

Some cultivators had even begun to advance to other cities on a large scale, which was also in line with Green Cloud Mountain's plan for this year.

Expanding its power to the entire Dai Yue this year was also within the plan.
