Chapter 1658: Paranirmitavaavartin Supreme Heavenly Demon Treasure

“I apologize for the disturbance, honored guests. It was just a puny Heavenly Demon, and I have already expelled it. You need not worry about further disruptions to your experience.”

After putting away the Blue Lotus Demon Burning Treasure Lamp, the white-robed image shrank into a blurry, humanoid silhouette. He clasped his hands in front of him and said, “As an apology, the Celestial Market On A Cloud would give you all a gift later.”

“You’re too kind, owner...”

“This is too much, owner...”

Everyone returned the salute while secretly scoffing at the owner’s excuse. They were veteran Sages, not youngsters who just set foot into the jianghu. Naturally, they could tell that the owner of the terrible gaze from before could not be a “puny Heavenly Demon”, nor would the owner go so far as to use the Blue Lotus Demon Burning Treasure Lamp to fight it off if it really was a “puny Heavenly Demon”.

Therefore, the Heavenly Demon must be an extremely powerful entity from the Beyond. It might even be a Heavenly Demon King.

But of course, there was no reason to expose the owner’s lie. It was clear that the owner did not wish to elaborate, and he was even going so far as to bribe them with a gift. They were more than happy to sell the owner a favor.

“I have other business to attend to, so I bid you all goodbye. Please continue as you were, honored guests.”

The owner disappeared after that, and the Celestial Market On A Cloud regained its previous peace and tranquility. It was almost as if nothing had ever happened.

Inside an extravagant palace, a young man in his twenties with snow white hair and white clothes slowly opened his eyes and let out a murky breath.

At the same time, a woman beside the man asked softly, “Who is that Heavenly Demon earlier, owner? It’s not actually a puny Heavenly Demon, is it?”

The woman was wearing a purple dress. She had a graceful presence, though her beautiful countenance was marred by a scar. It made her look less gentle and more vicious than she actually was.

The owner let out a wry chuckle. “I knew I couldn’t fool you. If I’m not mistaken, it’s that one who resides in the Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven!”

“You mean the Paranirmita—”

The woman subconsciously wanted to blurt out his name, but the owner stopped her before she could finish. “Do not say his name.”

The woman realized her mistake and nodded. She then asked seriously, “Why is that one suddenly paying attention to our humble market?”

The owner shook his head as well. “I do not know either. The Celestial Market On A Cloud is isolated from all arts and karmic bonds. It doesn’t make sense for that one to pay attention to us so suddenly, not unless...”

The woman immediately understood his meaning. “Unless one of our guests is connected to that one, and they had somehow drawn his attention.”

“Go carry out the investigation. Find the person who is connected to that one,” The owner ordered. “And of course, be ever careful. Do not beat the bush and alert the snake.”

“As you command,” the woman replied before taking her leave.

“Whoever the person is, they must be intricately tied to him to draw his gaze. Just who is it?”

The owner muttered to himself with a severe expression after the woman took her leave, “And was it accidental or intentional?”

He had wiped out the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon’s gaze with the Blue Lotus Demon Burning Treasure Lamp earlier and instantly whisked the Celestial Market On A Cloud into the unknown. The market itself was difficult to divine via any art and untouchable by any karma. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon to find them again. However, this was the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon; the ultimate Heavenly Demon they were talking about. Who knows if he had left behind a backdoor or two that they couldn’t detect?

He did not know if what happened today was an accident or a premeditated event either. This uncertainty disturbed him greatly.

“I really hope it’s an accident...”

......

“What happened?”

Inside the Rising Serpent Market, Ye Qing had no idea what happened just now. He was just gathering his strength to wipe out the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon’s demonic intent once and for all.

At first, the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon’s demonic intent had shown extraordinary resilience like a maggot clinging to his bones. Even with the Yin Yang Millstone, he was unable to wipe it out completely. Then, his power suddenly decreased dramatically, and the opportunity to wipe out the demonic intent completely fell into his lap.

He did not know why this was happening, but it had to be a good thing.

“The Way is like a millstone. Be destroyed!”

Ye Qing growled, and the Yin Yang Millstone created from his Innate Yin Yang Qi abruptly sped up. Great power immediately burst forth and ground everything within the millstone into nothingness.

“We will meet again...”

The Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon was neither surprised nor angry though. He simply let out a chuckle and slowly faded into nothing.

“I’d rather not.”

After the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon was gone, Ye Qing let out a sigh of relief and dispelled the Yin Yang Millstone. It was at this moment a faceless, formless demonic lotus appeared out of nowhere and flew toward his yang god.

“Not good!”

Ye Qing cursed and hurriedly channeled the Earthly Sovereign Bell to protect his mind. Strangely, the demonic lotus wasn’t affected by the Earthly Sovereign Bell in the slightest. It passed right through its barrier of Profound Yellow Mother Qi and entered his mind.

“Heavenly Demon Treasure Edict”

The instant the demonic lotus entered his mind, it was suddenly bathed in petacolored radiance. A lotus bloomed as a grand voice boomed inside his head.

The grandiose voice disappeared as quickly as it came. Then, profound murmurs began echoing inside his head.

As the murmurs continued, the “Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Sutra” that had reached the end of the road for a long time suddenly operated on its own. At the same time, the demonic thought that embodied the essence of the “Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Sutra” transformed into a demonic lotus.

Slowly, the two demonic lotuses grew closer and merged into one.

“Wonderful... Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon...”

“Excellent... Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon...”

When the two lotuses blended, all of the murmurs transformed into praise for the Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon.

At the same time, his “Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Sutra” and “Heavenly Demon Treasure Edict” also merged into a single sutra called: “Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon Treasure Edict”.

“The Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon is beyond limit, law, form, and shape. Unfettered from heaven, unbound from earth, unshackled from time, and untouched by age...”

“The heart is fearless, the thought is formless, the intent is transcendent, the thought is everchanging, the art lifts both sun and moon, the will is eternal...”

As the sutra manifested itself, Ye Qing’s yang god unconsciously began chanting its contents. As his headspace vibrated, the Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven manifested itself and expanded outward endlessly. As for his yang god, it resided high above the nine firmaments while growing bigger by the second.

“Wonderful... Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon...”

“Excellent... Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon...”

“Praise be... Paranirmitavaśavartin Heavenly Demon...”

As his Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven expanded, and his yang god grew taller, the quiet, ephemeral words of praise grew clearer as well.

“He just wouldn’t leave me be, would he?”

Right now, Ye Qing could clearly feel his strength growing by leaps and bounds. He could feel his Paranirmita Vasavartin Heaven expanding and his yang god growing non-stop. It was all signs that his demonic thought and spiritual power were growing rapidly.

In just an instant, his spiritual power was more than twice its original size. His yang god was becoming denser as well. Naturally, his strength was much greater than before.
