464: Supreme Demon

Grand Elder Third smiled. "Little Chen, you don't need to blame yourself. Victory and defeat are common in war, after all. Who would have thought that Night Lord would be so cunning?"

Chen De: "Exactly, exactly."

"So, that Demonic Creature is still with Night Lord?" Grand Elder Third asked tentatively.

"Of course." Chen De said with an air of righteousness, "Elder Yu, I guarantee with my honor, my credibility, and my character that I have not spoken a single lie to you.

That Demonic Creature is absolutely, truly, and indeed with Night Lord."

Despite Chen De's certainty, Grand Elder Third was still somewhat uneasy. "Little Chen, you are still young. The temptation of the Demonic Creature is too great, so much so that even some Immortal Law Realm cultivators cannot resist it.

Such an evil thing can easily lead people astray, making them regret their choices too late.

One must often be careful; some people make grave mistakes for a moment of greed!

Therefore, if there is any further news of the Demonic Creature or anything else, do not worry, and do not be embarrassed. Just come and find me.

Although I am old, I consider myself to have weathered many storms and can still maintain my composure."

Grand Elder Third's meaning was almost explicitly clear to Chen De.

If you really have the Demonic Creature, just give it to me quickly. As for what was said before about it not being there, I'll pretend I didn't hear it.

Such a dangerous item, if it's with you, you won't be able to control it.

I can, I can do it!

"Of course!"

As soon as Grand Elder Third spoke, Chen De immediately responded.

"Elder Yu, what you said is true: there is strength in numbers. If I get any more news of that Demonic Creature, I will definitely inform you first.

Together, we will properly deal with the Demonic Creature and benefit the Xichen Domain."

"That is excellent." Grand Elder Third nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing that he couldn't get what he wanted from Chen De, he began to dismiss him.

"Since that's the case... ah, it's already so late. A dignified Sect Master still has a pile of important matters to attend to, so you should go first."

From his demeanor, it seemed he still wanted to say something more, then inadvertently noticed the time.

Realizing that Chen De had been with him for so long, he spoke up to remind Chen De.

As a Grand Elder of the sect, saying such things was naturally reasonable and proper.

Chen De also suddenly realized, as if only now becoming aware that he had been there for so long.

"Elder Yu is right. Thanks to your reminder, otherwise I would have forgotten the time.

This time returning, there are still a pile of matters waiting for me to handle."

"You truly are our sect's most treasured asset, constantly caring about sect affairs. It is truly our honor to have you."

"In that case, Elder Yu, I will take my leave now?"

Chen De stood up, greeted Grand Elder Third, then turned to leave.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Grand Elder Third called out to him.

Chen De turned his head, still with a respectful expression, "Elder Yu, do you have any other instructions?"

"Don't worry, whatever I can do, I will never refuse."

Grand Elder Third solemnly instructed again, "You must be very careful to prevent some people from going astray after obtaining the Demonic Creature. By then, they will surely regret it deeply."

"Throughout countless years, how many heavenly prodigies have fallen due to their inability to resist their inner desires, making a single misstep that leads to eternal regret!"

"Remember, remember!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Yu." Chen De bowed again, "I understand."

Grand Elder Third looked deeply at Chen De once more. "Good, you may go."

Chen De, however, seemed oblivious, turning and leaving directly from there.

Watching Chen De's retreating figure, Grand Elder Third's expression and gaze gradually grew cold.

The custom of Moyuan Sect and Zhengyuan Sect being two sides of the same coin did not start with Yuan Chen... After leaving Grand Elder Third, Chen De suppressed his almost uncontrollable inner turmoil.

In fact, he had already wanted to hand over the Demonic Creature to the other party just now.

After mixing in some black liquid, he would have allowed the other party to absorb it and, in the process, be subtly influenced by it.

However, in the end, Chen De abandoned this idea.

Because the Demonic Creature is an extremely dangerous item, it would inevitably be thoroughly inspected before use.

This was the Moyuan Sect; there was no trust between them. Even if it wasn't a Demonic Creature, anything Chen De gave would definitely be meticulously inspected, inside and out.

If black liquid were discovered, wouldn't Chen De merely increase his chances of exposure?

Of course, the other party might also think it was inherent to the Demonic Creature.

But once black liquid was discovered, wouldn't it be almost like giving it away for free, a huge loss?

Being new here, Chen De still wanted to develop steadily for a period and gather information.

Before figuring out his situation, it was better to be stable and low-key.

Of course, not acting against Grand Elder Third also had its reasons.

The other party should already be in the first stage of the Immortal Law Realm, specifically the late stage of the first transformation of the Immortal Law Realm, with about eighty to ninety percent comprehension of the Law's profound meaning.

With such strength, Chen De couldn't resolve him quickly.

If a single mistake allowed the other party to escape, then his gains would not outweigh his losses.

However, what belonged to Chen De would never escape him.

This Zhengyuan Sect was simply a den of iniquity, and he intended to transform such a corrupt place into the headquarters of the Holy Mother Sect.

In that case, it seemed he would have to use the Demonic Creature himself.

On the way back, Chen De had studied it. According to Yuan Chen's memories, the Supreme Demonic Creature was called the Yin Extreme Origin.

All things carry yin and embrace yang; their vital energy forms a harmony.

When these two energies, yin and yang, condense to their extreme, they can form their respective origins.

Among them, the Yin Extreme Origin is also known as the Demonic Dao Origin, while the Yang Extreme Origin is called the Orthodox Dao Origin.

But whether it is the Yang Extreme Origin or the Yin Extreme Origin, they can both be seen as the concretization of the essence of law.

Absorbing them can enhance one's comprehension of profound meaning.

For those in the Mortal Realm, it allows them to transform from the Law level to the Law Profound Meaning level. For those in the Immortal Realm, it can enhance their comprehension of the Law Profound Meaning.

In the Upper Plane, the problem encountered by Mortal Realm peak cultivators is that they simply cannot access the threshold for breaking through to the Law Profound Meaning level.

In the Lower Plane, those who do access it simply dare not and cannot break through.

However, if this were in the Upper Plane, it's likely that as soon as someone touched upon it, they would attempt to break through.

So, for Mortal Realm cultivators in the Upper Plane, as long as they resolve the issues concerning Law, they can break through to Immortality.

And now, this Yin Extreme Origin can help them solve this problem, directly elevating their Law to a level where they can break through to the Immortal Realm.

Of course, yin and yang are inherently balanced, and separating them now introduces their respective flaws.

Therefore, the most ideal state is to absorb both the Yin Extreme and Yang Extreme Origins together.

This way, not only is it stable, but the two extreme origins can each exert effects far beyond what they would achieve individually, reaching a level where one plus one is far greater than two.

However, if one chooses to absorb them separately, there will be significant flaws and drawbacks...
