Chapter 539: Chapter 64: Take away all the books of Profound Mysteries.
Cloud Sea Peak, named for its extremely high altitude and surrounding vast sea of clouds, resembles an isolated island amidst the ocean.
At the peak, there were many buildings inhabited by cultivators, many of which had been destroyed by magical competitions, while the rest had weathered away over four thousand years, leaving ruins everywhere.
Jiang the Witch looked down at the buildings below, feeling an impulsive urge to explore them.
Although she knew these abandoned structures had probably been scavenged clean even of their foundations over the past four thousand years, she still wanted to search through them.
Perhaps she would find something valuable?
It was like a girl seeing a shopping street-although she had decided not to buy anything, she still wanted to browse, just in case she came across something worth purchasing at a good price.
Of course, while she wanted to try her luck, Wei Dongliu clearly had no such intention, and Jiang Liyan could only obediently keep her mouth shut.
She thought to herself that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Guided by the pointers from the Blood Sea Ancestor, Wei Dongliu soon reached the edge of the mountain peak where he found a tall tower.
Inside the tower was empty, lacking even the basic furniture like tables and chairs.
Wei Dongliu made his way to the top of the tower, where the roof was covered with tiles, appearing from the outside like a conical hat.
Looking out from the top floor window, Wei Dongliu spotted a slowly forming entrance on a certain rock face below.

Clearly, the area around Luoyan Cave had been enveloped by an extremely powerful Illusion Domain, such that from the outside world, it looked like an utterly ordinary rock face, spotless and without flaws.
But if one were to look down from the window at the top floor of this tower, they would be able to see through the illusion and pinpoint the exact location of the entrance.
Jiang the Witch did as he had done, looking out the window, and indeed, she also saw the entrance take shape.
“How interesting,” she exclaimed in amazement, “driven by their utilitarian desires, ordinary cultivators, upon reaching the top and finding nothing, would doubtless turn around and leave without looking back.
Who would think to look out from this window?”
“Let’s go,” said Wei Dongliu as he soared out of the window, stepping onto his Sword Light in midair and heading directly towards the rock wall entrance.
Jiang Liyan quickly followed him, and they both landed at the entrance, then entered, casting light spells as they marched on.
After only four or five steps, the path ahead was blocked by a rock wall.
On that rock wall were engraved four large characters in a dynamic, flowing script:
Tai Yi Tong Xuan.
Wei Dongliu pondered for a moment and soon recalled that the Tai Yi Tong Xuan elder from the Intercepting Cult had left behind a Secret Phrase in his last words, supposedly passed down between the Sect Leaders of the Tong Xuan Gate from generation to generation.
Tai Yi Tong Xuan was the first half, and the second half was…
“All Laws Break the Path,” Wei Dongliu said slowly.
As soon as the words were spoken, the rock wall gradually vanished, revealing an entrance large enough for one person.
Talk about a voice-activated door!
Wei Dongliu entered without hesitation, and Jiang the Witch, brimming with excitement, followed closely behind, taking mental note of the incantation Wei Dongliu had just spoken.
The two traversed the lengthy corridor and stepped into a simple secret realm.
There stood a stone hall with a statue erected in its center, yet there were no other exits in sight.
Wei Dongliu extended his Divine Sense into the statue, and suddenly a voice around them asked:
“What do you wish to retrieve?”
“Is there a Daoist magic?” Wei Dongliu intended to first test the waters, “Start with a secret technique for cultivating a Heavenly Demon, and it must be a very powerful one.”
Jiang the Witch’s ears perked up immediately.
“There is one called ‘Cave Divine Demon Secret Technique of the Northern Yin’.” The voice answered, “The six Cave Divine Demons, coming from the Dengdu Luo Mountain of the Northern Yin, are impervious to swords and spears, resistant to water and fire, immortal and indestructible, only restrained by the Seven Treasures Starlight Brilliant Spirit Lamp.”
“Good.” Without waiting for Jiang the Witch to speak, Wei Dongliu directly confirmed.
Suddenly, the surrounding rock walls unfolded in all directions, revealing a broad expanse of the world.
The stone statue in front suddenly came to life, rolling on the spot, transforming into a sinister Daoist practitioner who pinched a Daoist formula, and recited aloud:
“Mount Dengdu Luo of the Northern Yin, six Cave Divine Ghost Gods and Demons, heed my command!”
In an instant, a demon wind assaulted them.
Although it seemed like merely a wind rising from the flat ground, Jiang the Witch intuitively received a frantic warning in her mind, and she hurriedly cried out, “Fellow Daoist, be careful!” From her sleeves, she shook out several substantial divine demons, each eight feet tall with green faces and fierce fangs, standing in front of them.
As the demon wind struck the substantial divine demons, several evil and grotesque, semi-solid phantoms of demon heads appeared, biting chaotically at the substantial divine demons all over their bodies.
The substantial divine demons roared wildly in rage, swinging weapons all about, but it was like cutting water with a dagger or hitting wind with a club, all their efforts passing harmlessly through the demon heads.
Before long, these substantial divine demons were bitten all over, black qi surging out of them, and suddenly, with a collective mournful cry, they turned back into black qi and retreated into Jiang the Witch’s sleeves.
Jiang the Witch’s eyes brightened, and it dawned on her that these six Cave Divine Demons of the Northern Yin truly were impervious to swords and spears!
In the past, she had been a disciple of Fairy Cai’e, learning a lineage called “Substantial and Insubstantial Divine Demon Secret Technique.”
Among them, the thirty-six substantial divine demons were eight-foot-tall strongmen, each with the power to lift mountains and cover the world, unyielding even when wounded numerous times.
The seventy-two insubstantial divine demons could hide their forms and move silently, capable of killing a person amidst ghostly shadows.
But whether it was the substantial or insubstantial divine demons, their weakness lay in their not hard enough bodies.
For instance, a blast from Xu Yinglian’s Great Bright Fire could kill them, substantial or not; or if beheaded by An Zhisu’s Flying Sword, that would definitely result in death.
Being difficult to injure with swords and spears is far from the true sense of ‘impervious to swords and spears’!
Jiang Liyan coveted that secret technique greatly, but she wasn’t foolish enough to outright ask Wei Dongliu to obtain the technique for her.
Instead, she bravely stepped forward and called out tragically:
“Fellow Daoist Wei, step back!
I will block these Heavenly Demons for you!”
“No need.” Wei Dongliu placed his left hand on her shoulder, pulling her directly behind him, while his right hand drew out the Myriad Demons Evil Spirit Sword and thrust it forward.
When the Myriad Demons Evil Spirit Sword pierced into the demon wind, it instantly generated a pulling force against the Heavenly Demons.
However, those six Cave Divine Heavenly Demons of the Northern Yin seemed to have anticipated the danger beforehand and immediately concealed themselves within the demon wind, becoming intangible.
“Heh heh heh.” The sinister Daoist on the opposite side said, “The Heavenly Demons refined by our sect’s Cave Divine Demon Secret Technique of the Northern Yin can shuttle back and forth between the Tai Yin Cave Heaven and the mortal world.
Any attacks from the mortal world cannot affect the Cave Divine Demons.”
“Only a Magical Treasure called the Seven Treasures Starlight Brilliant Spirit Lamp can pose a threat, with its light illuminating all realms.
?0?G0.??
Even if divine demons hide in the Cave of Tai Yin, they can still be locked onto and illuminated by this spirit lamp, which is the greatest threat to our lineage…”
He continued to speak, detailing the advantages and drawbacks of the ‘Cave Divine Demon Secret Technique of the Northern Yin’, then he began to elaborate on the methods of cultivation, incantations, insights, required resources, and so on, not holding back on any key details, laying them all out completely.
Nevertheless, even as the Daoist taught the magic, he was decisive in his actions, continuing to command the demon wind to encircle and attack them, as if determined to end their lives.
Wei Dongliu wielded his sword with composure, each time precisely when a demon appeared by his side, he would cleanly and swiftly force it back with his blade, showing no signs of faltering.
Jiang the Witch, on the other hand, was bright-eyed, silently memorizing the incantations in her heart, planning to refine those Cave Divine Demons of the Northern Yin as soon as she returned, thereby increasing her value in Wei Dongliu’s eyes!
