370: The flawed jade is the king (109).

The scene shifted once more.

Before Wang Yun's eyes, that third-party world, which sealed away all things eerie and ominous, floated silently like a deathly still black star.

The old man's three Disciples—the Refined Youth, the Youth Holding a Sword, and the Youth with elegant green hair—stood side by side in the Chaos of the Void Realm outside of this Seal.

Their faces were filled with an unmistakable sorrow.

But Wang Yun could clearly discern that the nature of this sorrow was not the same.

The sorrow of the Refined Youth and the Youth Holding a Sword was a grand mourning that transcended worldly emotions.

Their divinity had completely replaced their humanity; their grief for their Revered Master's sacrifice was not entirely genuine.

Only the Youth with Green Hair was starkly different.

His sorrow was real.

Tears streamed down his handsome face; in his eyes, there was not only the heavy pain of his Revered Master's passing but also a deep compassion for the countless innocent lives lost in that catastrophe.

His humanity remained pure and burning.

Finally, Wang Yun saw a heated argument break out among the three.

He couldn't hear what they were saying; every word seemed isolated by the Chaos.

But from their expressions and movements, he could feel a massive divergence in their philosophies originating from the very foundation of the Great Dao.

A moment later, the Refined Youth and the Youth Holding a Sword turned and left.

They left decisively, their figures soon merging into the distant sea of stars.

Leaving only the Youth with Green Hair to stand guard alone outside this deathly still Seal.

This watch lasted for an unknown number of years.

Time lost its meaning—perhaps a hundred thousand years, perhaps a million.

Wang Yun saw that the sturdy Seal, formed from the old man's body, began to gradually weaken with the relentless passage of time.

An eerie will began to seep out from the cracks of the Seal once more, descending upon the Universe that had been split in two.

It began to bewitch the people of the world.

Its power was formless and intangible, yet it could stir the deepest desires and darkness within living beings.

More and more beings were bewitched, and the speed of its spread became completely uncontrollable.

One Ancient Life Star after another turned into an eerie paradise within just a few years.

As the number of bewitched individuals grew exponentially, the eerie power also strengthened rapidly, gathering into a terrifying torrent that began to assault the already unstable Seal from within.

The Youth with Green Hair knew that the situation had become critical in the extreme.

Standing in the Void Realm, he performed a supreme Divine Ability.

His figure split into eighty-one Clones.

Each Clone took on an appearance identical to his own, holding a azure pagoda that flowed with green light as they walked through the world.

They began to suppress the bewitched beings and purify the contaminated worlds.

Wang Yun saw one of the Clones face a bewitched being that was nearly immortal and whose Physical Body could collide head-on with stars.

That Clone expressionlessly offered up the azure pagoda in his hand.

As the green light suppressed it, that powerful being was instantly immobilized; no matter how it struggled, it couldn't move an inch.

Ultimately, under the radiance of the green light, it was completely sealed within the azure pagoda.

The eighty-one Clones, holding azure pagodas, suppressed countless disturbances in the world.

Despite this, the situation was still not fundamentally under control.

The eerie revival was unstoppable.

Finally, one day, an even more terrifying eerie aura descended once again.

Lives were lost, and all things wailed in sorrow.

The Youth with Green Hair found his two Senior Brothers.

But a heated dispute seemed to break out among the three once more.

Wang Yun could see the pleading and anger in the eyes of the Youth with Green Hair, and he could also see the cold expressions on the faces of the other two.

In the end, the Youth with Green Hair came alone to the outside of that sealed Universe.

With his strength alone, he resisted the onslaught of the entire Eerie Tribe.

This was clearly a battle with no chance of victory.

So much time had passed that he was even stronger than before, and the Divine Might of the azure pagoda was enough to suppress an entire Universe.

However, the terrifying existences within the Eerie Tribe were still not something he could rival.

His Dharma Idol was beaten until it crumbled inch by inch, and green Divine Blood splattered across the starry sky, turning into a burning sea of fire.

Just at the moment he was about to perish.

His two Senior Brothers, whose philosophies ran counter to his, descended.

The Refined Youth's words became Law; as he uttered the word "Freeze," the space-time for hundreds of millions of miles around was suppressed.

The Youth Holding a Sword struck with his sword, and an unparalleled sword light spanned the Universe, forcing back the terrifying eerie being that was about to deliver a fatal blow to the Youth with Green Hair.

They saved the Youth with Green Hair.

However, even with the three of them joining forces, they were still no match for the infinite Eerie Army.

Before them, an Eerie Ancestor, whose mere existence caused the Laws of the Dao to twist, slowly emerged.

Utter despair enveloped the three of them.

Just then, the Refined Youth and the Youth Holding a Sword made a move that caught everyone by surprise.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes calm and resolute.

Using themselves as bargaining chips and their long-transcended Origin of the Dao as a foundation, they activated a certain Forbidden Technique.

Their bodies transformed into two divine chains of Law that spanned the Universe, tightly binding the most terrifying Eerie Ancestor; together with themselves, they were forcibly suppressed back into that third-party Universe and completely exiled to the unknown end of space-time.

This act greatly curbed the re-emergence of the eerie.

But the eerie was not completely wiped out.

The Youth with Green Hair looked at where his two Senior Brothers had disappeared, his eyes hollow and filled with immense pain.

After an unknown amount of time, he pulled himself together.

He inherited the legacy of his Revered Master and Senior Brothers, continuing to walk the world and eliminate the remaining eerie.

But the eerie could not be completely eliminated; it hid in every corner of the Universe, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

During one of his own lapses.

One half of the Universe that had been split in two, the First Universe, was completely eroded by the eerie.

The living beings of the entire Universe were all transformed into a part of the eerie.

The Youth with Green Hair was filled with regret and became resolute.

He came to the outside of the First Universe, and a Secret Technique manifested from within his body.

He transformed into thousands of green lights, completely enveloping the entire First Universe.

He was purifying this completely contaminated world.

But the price of this purification was that the connection between the First Universe and the Second Universe was completely severed.

Finally, under the radiance of the green light, the First Universe, along with everything within it that had been purified, was lost in the Chaos of space-time.

The Youth with Green Hair also dissipated along with it.

He died.

The massive azure pagoda in his hand also split into one hundred and eight small towers, scattered in various corners of the Universe.

In a place where no one could see.

A wisp of green light, so faint it was almost invisible, quietly flowed into one of the small towers.

And that tower was lost within the First Universe, which was gradually drifting away into complete exile.
