Grandmaster Ha Ha knew that he couldn't defeat the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon in a short time, and aware that Shi Feiyang would soon emerge, he used his Divine Skills to send a message to Elder Kuzhu, who was in the Void Illusion Realm, hoping to awaken him and have him engage in another battle with Shi Feiyang.

Should Elder Kuzhu engage in a real fight with Shi Feiyang again, it would inevitably result in a cataclysmic clash, giving him enough time to leisurely capture those Demon heads and Demon Swords.

Grandmaster Ha Ha was only able to convey a single phrase before severing the connection to Shi Feiyang, and thereafter could sense nothing of the situation within the cave; he could only wait for Elder Kuzhu to act quickly and first shatter Baiyang Mountain.

Regrettably, Elder Kuzhu unexpectedly performed a "One Thought Reversal" and completely knelt before Shi Feiyang...

He waited to the left and right, but there was no movement; despite his boundless mana and specialized demon-suppressing skills, the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon was one of the top Demons in the world, nourished and trained for many years by Shi Feiyang, ever-changing and armed with the Nine Demon Swords; it was invincible. He only managed to capture six lesser demons in a short time, but in the blink of an eye, the Mother Demon took them back and shattered his Dharma Body.

Grandmaster Ha Ha wanted to use other spells, but calculating that Shi Feiyang was about to finish his cultivation retreat, he could only temporarily suppress his frustration and leave.

When Shi Feiyang emerged from the cave, the battle outside had already ended. Of the three hundred and sixteen Sword Immortals, the vast majority perished under the Nine Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords, none left with a complete corpse.

Towards the end, Shi Longgu, Lin Han, and others also refrained from acting, watching with their own eyes as demons danced wildly in the sky and shafts of blood over a hundred cubits long flew in every direction, along with the eerie sounds of demonic chants that left everyone terrified.

Once Shi Feiyang appeared, he first collected the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon and the Nine Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords.

Mo Zhui, Lin Han, and others came forward to pay their respects, with Situ Ping, Ouyang Hong, and other juniors formally greeting him.

Shi Feiyang instructed them to clean up the valley. He then led everyone in formally setting up the Triple Immortal Formation to prevent future intrusions, followed by decorations and preparations for the foundation ceremony of the state.

In a few days, Bai Guanhong returned with the delegation that had gone to the Capital.

For the imperial court, the idea of such an exotic nation paying tributes was amazing, and as the State Preceptor had recommended them, they naturally had to be treated with proper national rituals.

Eventually, Emperor Tianqi officially conferred the title of White Sun King upon Mo Zhui, granting an eight hundred-mile radius around Baiyang Mountain to the Baiyang Country.

They also brought the Imperially bestowed Golden Seal and Dan Book, as well as precious gifts of Five-Colored Porcelain and merfolk silk.

Following this, a grand state foundation ceremony was held within the valley.

Mo Zhui became the first-generation King of Baiyang Country. He and his two brothers would stay here, cultivating in tranquillity, while leading the people of Baiyang Country to govern the Qi family and prosper together.

The guests bid their farewells and dispersed, but Tang Shi and Sui Yin were left with nowhere to go.

They knelt down and begged Shi Feiyang to take them on as disciples.

Shi Feiyang told them, "Your original master, the Green Robe Ancestor, suffered repeated defeats at my hands, and has now pledged allegiance to the Western Sect in West Pole Mountain.

Your later master, the Red-haired Ancestor, was coerced by the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon to use the Six Yang Dissolution Great Technique, returning the flesh he had taken from Elder Kuzhu years ago.

They have now joined the Western Sect, and according to my calculations, they have formed twelve Immortal Demon Gods and will come to Central Earth to cause trouble in the future, prompting another fierce battle.

If you become my disciples today, when they come, I will surely lead my disciples to face them; what will you do then?"

Tang Shi and Sui Yin exchanged glances, fell silent for a moment, and then Sui Yin knelt down again to Shi Feiyang: "Grandmaster, I was also from a learned family in my youth. Because my parents were harmed by a villain, I was left wandering alone. Later, I was captured by the people of Bai Man Mountain,

They wanted to dig my heart and liver out to offer to the Green Robe Ancestor. Because I didn't cry at the time, the Green Robe Ancestor found me peculiar, so he kept me and fed another child's heart to me instead. I then stayed on Bai Man Mountain as a boy servant.

I knew they were Eluding Demons and that they couldn't last in the long run. My heart always leaned toward the Righteous Path; I wanted to be a true Sword Immortal, but being a disciple of the Demon Cult who ate human hearts, any person from the Orthodox Sect would want to kill me when they saw me.

Master Shi, in truth, I've always admired and aspired to be like you. I thought that if I could become your disciple, and follow you to slay demons and rid Bai Man Mountain of evil, wielding a three-foot green blade, it'd be wonderful! I dreamed of becoming your disciple. Now that I have nowhere else to turn, at the end of my rope, I earnestly beg Master Shi to show mercy, accept me as a disciple, and open the door to the Righteous Path of the Mysterious Sect for me; even if I am shattered to pieces, I would repay you!"

He spoke with heartfelt sincerity and then kowtowed his forehead to the ground without rising again.

Actually, Shi Feiyang had always harbored a sense of pity towards factions and beings that were viewed with prejudice. As an outsider himself, he could deeply empathize with their situation.

He believed that those like Sui Yin, who yearn for the Righteous Path and are willing to dedicate themselves to cultivation, deserve to be given a chance, regardless of whether they are part of the factions or classified as 'different.' The path might be strewn with dangers and obstacles, but what mattered was the existence of that path and door.

At that moment, Tang Shi also pleaded, expressing his wish to repent and return to righteousness.

Shi Feiyang said, "When I initially took Yuan'er as a disciple, I intended to make him my closed-door disciple and not take any others after that. But a special circumstance arose in the cave just now, forcing me to agree to accept another closed-door disciple.

I've already 'closed the door' twice; it is excusable once or twice, but it cannot happen over and over again. However, if you truly wish to join my sect and learn from me, you can become disciples of this disciple of mine; he is the one among my many disciples who has received my true transmission the most."

Shi Feiyang gestured towards Lin Han.

Lin Han, suddenly being spotlighted, felt taken aback.

He felt his Daoist power was limited and that it wasn't yet time for him to take on disciples.

Especially after the battle with the Red-haired Ancestor, he believed his performance left much to be desired.

These days, he often reflected and replayed the entire process, striving to rectify each exposed weakness and error so that he could do better should he encounter similar situations in the future.

But he had never expected that suddenly his Master would designate someone to take him as a mentor.

Tang Shi and Sui Yin, upon hearing Shi Feiyang's earlier remarks about not wanting to take any more closed-door disciples, thought the matter was completely off the table and were extremely disheartened, particularly Sui Yin, who even considered Soldier Disintegration to be reincarnated, to draw a line from this life and start anew in the next.

However, he did not have reliable people to protect him during the transmigration process, which posed great risks; one misstep could lead to being lost in reincarnation, without the opportunity for immortal fate again.

Yet, to their surprise, the situation took a turn for the better, and they had the chance to take Lin Han as their mentor!

They could tell that Lin Han was a very typical Sword Immortal from the Mysterious Sect, with his Daoist power, mana, temperament, and swordsmanship all impeccably righteous.

All they wanted was a path leading to the righteous Mysterious Sect; they didn't care whose disciple or grand-disciple they became. Having been involved with the Demon Cult for so long and having faced major changes, they had long since let go of such concerns.

Even in their eyes, having Lin Han as their Master was preferable to many other lesser-known sect leaders; given the choice between someone like the Red-haired Ancestor or the Green Robe Ancestor and Lin Han, they would definitely choose Lin Han.

Because this choice was not only about learning spells and who was stronger; it was about choosing their future path and life!

Lin Han, however, felt he was not qualified to accept disciples and refused to accept their bow, repeatedly telling Shi Feiyang he was unworthy of being a Master.

Shi Feiyang was displeased, "You are the leading disciple of the Qian Dao school in my sect! How are you not qualified? It's their good fortune to be able to take you as their Master! There are only a handful of people in the world who can study the Daoist arts with you."

Lin Han was bound to achieve the fruit of a Heavenly Immortal in the future, and Shi Feiyang saw him as the heir to his own Daoist teachings, valuing him highly, otherwise, he wouldn't have given him the Nanming Leaving Fire Sword.

Respecting his Master deeply, Lin Han saw how Shi Feiyang insisted and dared not decline any further, eventually agreeing to accept the two men.

Tang Shi and Sui Yin were overjoyed and hurried to formally become disciples, establishing their relationship as Master and apprentice.

In the days that followed, Shi Feiyang was cultivating on Baiyang Mountain, leading his disciples and fellow practitioners, teaching spells and refining swords daily, with everyone greatly benefiting.

One day, Shi Feiyang divined the birth of Elder Kuzhu.

Because Lu Yu had manipulated Elder Kuzhu, sending him to Wangwu Mountain.

It so happened that Lady Tianyao entangled herself with the Mystics Yin Sect leader, Gu Chen.

Originally, Gu Chen had no interest in her.

Gu Chen was a Demon Corpse, his muscles stiff, his internal organs decayed, his skin covered in black hair; he had none of the desires of a living person.

But later, he fused with one of the avatars of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader!

The Sky Lusting Sect Leader's lust was off the charts, arguably the number one of Shu Mountain; not to say the Demon Corpses, but even if only a skeleton was left, they could still engage in sympathetic transformations.

After their fusion, the Master and disciple sought a place to cultivate. They were supposed to continue westward, but unexpectedly halfway through, they rescued Lady Tianyao from being bullied by the Chuanxin Monk.

Lady Tianyao noticed that Gu Chen was different from before, now possessing charm and aura even more appealing to her!

So, she claimed that Chuanxin Monk and Po Tou Monk were both jealous of her and would surely seek to kill her later, pleading Gu Chen to escort her back to Wangwu Mountain.

After her "separation" with the yellow-faced Daoist, she had found a cave dwelling left by a predecessor in Wangwu Mountain, where she hid and cultivated.

Gu Chen figured that if he continued west, he was bound to encounter Chuanxin Monk again. That Monk had the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, and without a weapon to contend with, he would just be inviting trouble. Thus, he decided to escort Lady Tianyao back to Wangwu Mountain, where she seduced him, and the will of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader within Gu Chen's Primordial Spirit exploded, naturally blending together.

Lady Tianyao was a crafty old hand, the best at yang harvesting and yin supplementation among the battling female immortals; she dared to claim second place, and no one would dare say they were first, they simply didn't qualify!

The name of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader even contained the word "lust," indicating that in this arena, he was unsurpassed.

The two rewarded each other in the stone chamber, causing darkness to envelop the world, obscuring the sun and the moon.

Lady Tianyao used all her skills, maxing out the Transforming Vajra Soul-shattering Technique, but still was no match for the Sky Lusting Sect Leader.

The Sky Lusting Sect Leader had less than a quarter of his Primordial Spirit here, fused with Gu Chen's Primordial Spirit and could not act entirely independently. Yet even so, he still defeated Lady Tianyao thoroughly.

In the end, Lady Tianyao was harvested of all her Yuan Yin, her essence energy and divine blood all depleted, becoming an ugly, white-boned zombie.

On the contrary, Gu Chen obtained her hundreds of years of accumulated essence blood, used the Supreme Yin Great Technique of the Sky Lusting Sect Leader to refine his Seven Spirits and restored vitality to his five internal organs, his muscles became full, his skin fair, and his hair grew back, shedding the black hair of the Demon Corpse and transforming into a beautiful and handsome young man!

Gu Chen delightedly dressed himself up when an attractive woman suddenly arrived outside; it turned out to be Lady Tianyao's disciple, Soul Chasing Lady Ni Lanxin!
