The Yin-Yang God and Demon Technique requires the refining of eighteen Yuan Chen White Bone Rings, each of which possesses supreme magical power and can transform into a Yin-Yang White Bone God and Demon.
The Hundred Bone Daoist himself used eighteen Yin-Yang White Bone Demon Gods as his external avatars to cultivate an immortal body.
Unlike other Taoist practitioners who hoarded their knowledge, this unorthodox Taoist master himself had suffered greatly without receiving the true teachings. Therefore, after attaining enlightenment, he was not stingy with these methods.
Unfortunately, a genius like Daoist Baigu is one in a thousand years. He was able to achieve immortality through his self-created Yin-Yang Divine Demon Technique, but those who obtained the Daoist methods he spread could not attain immortality because they had no one to guide them.
Venerable Tianpeng was well aware that his foundation lay in the Great Peng Free and Unfettered Technique. He cultivated the Yin-Yang Divine Demon Technique primarily to break free from the shackles within his body and seek a breakthrough.
The Yuan Chen White Bone Ring in his hand slowly flew up, and the Nine Heavens Sword Formation was formed without any effort. The sword light changed, and the sword energy crisscrossed, containing endless mysteries.
Venerable Tianpeng stood up, waved his sleeve, and put away the Yuan Chen White Bone Ring. He thought to himself, "It's time to go see that rather mysterious disciple."
He had just stepped out of the palace gate when he saw a thick, dark cloud drifting in from afar.
Dark clouds rolled in, shrouding Golden Cloud Island, obscuring the sky and creating a terrifying spectacle. Then, another plume of black mist shot straight into the sky, and at its peak stood a young warrior clad in full armor.
Venerable Tianpeng and his thirteen disciples who had mastered the Tianpeng True Body all took to the air, ready for battle. Only Lin Yi was still busy in the Sword Pavilion and couldn't spare the time to leave.
"Who are you, and why have you come to invade my Golden Cloud Island?" Venerable Tianpeng asked sternly.
The young general said calmly, "I am the True Lord of the Netherworld, and you are the Venerable Tianpeng. Hand over the Great Peng Free and Easy Technique, and I will spare your life today."
Venerable Tianpeng's face turned ashen with rage. The Yuan Chen White Bone Ring, which he had just mastered, appeared in his hand, forming a small sword array. Hundreds of wispy sword lights swirled and danced within the array, appearing dazzlingly golden.
"The half-finished Nine Heavens Sword Formation and the Yuan Chen White Bone Ring of Daoist Bai Gu, these cobbled-together pieces are no match for me. Come out, my men!"
With a clear shout, the True Lord You Sheng from the underworld caused the black mist beneath him to surge and transform into more than ten thousand underworld soldiers.
He drew strands of black energy from the body of the Netherworld soldier beneath him, transforming them into a strange divine blade with a lotus-shaped tip, three heads and six blades, its sharpness unmatched.
Seeing this, Venerable Tianpeng hurriedly unleashed the Nine Heavens Sword Formation. Hundreds of sword lights crisscrossed, and the wispy sword energy sliced through the vast atmosphere, creating shattered voids.
Seeing this, True Lord Yousheng remained calm and fearless. He activated the divine sword in his hand, and the sword light suddenly intensified.
As the blades and sword formations clashed, countless cracks appeared between heaven and earth. Although these cracks healed themselves in an instant, the sheer power of their battle was a testament to their strength.
The disciples of Venerable Tianpeng could only awkwardly dodge the aftershocks of the battle. Lacking magical treasures or powerful artifacts, they were powerless to intervene.
Below, Lin Yi walked out of the sword hut.
He was equally powerless to help Venerable Tianpeng, who was already at a disadvantage.
Venerable Tianpeng and True Lord Yousheng were evenly matched in magical power, but the latter had over ten thousand Netherworld soldiers assisting him, as well as supernatural powers and formations honed in the Netherworld.
Although Venerable Tianpeng had cultivated diligently and possessed considerable skill, his abilities were ultimately acquired through fortuitous encounters. Furthermore, he had focused on cultivating fundamental Daoist techniques and had not diligently mastered the powerful spells within the Great Peng Free and Unfettered Technique. Consequently, when he unleashed the Nine Heavens Sword Formation, it was riddled with flaws, making him no match for True Lord Yousheng.
The aftershocks of the battle swept across Jinxia Island, causing the ground to tremble incessantly.
Lin Yi turned around and walked towards the central volcano that was about to erupt.
Although Venerable Tianpeng was no match for True Lord Yousheng, he managed to escape with several disciples without any problems.
Let's go our separate ways from now on.
The flames flickered, and scorching magma flowed from underground. Lin Yi's figure disappeared into it.
What kind of flame is the Earthly True Fire?
What kind of Daoist principles and laws are contained within this innate true fire?
Lin Yi walked deeper into the underground fire vein, and his thoughts, conjectures, and hypotheses about the earth fire were confirmed one by one with the reality.
The earth is vast and virtuous, nurturing all things; we are born of the earth and we also die on the earth.
The flames rise and burn everything, but from the ashes, new hope is born.
An overwhelming surge of true fire erupted from Lin Yi's body, like a volcano erupting outside him, eroding everything in its path, unstoppable.
He silently savored this feeling, his spirit seemingly merging with the erupting volcano.
The center of Jinxia Island has been turned into a sea of fire.
Above, the lone and helpless Venerable Tianpeng chose to retreat. After giving a shout, he transformed into a golden-winged roc and flew away into the distance.
His disciples, such as "Tianbo Xiushi" Wang Lun and "Beihai Diaoke" Wan Qisun, quickly transformed and followed.
True Lord Yousheng laughed heartily and did not pursue. His background was special; his request for the Great Roc Free and Easy Technique from Venerable Tianpeng was merely for amusement, a game.
The Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect originally had seventy-two true disciples, all passed down by Nuwa. However, they were later divided into two: thirty-six in the Underworld and thirty-six in the Human Realm.
The ten most powerful divine spells of the Demonic Sect all require the combined practice of multiple true teachings. The Great Roc Free and Unfettered Technique is one of the nine true teachings required to cultivate the "Great Free and Unfettered Emperor," which ranks among the top three.
P.S.: I recommend a book to a friend, "The Extraordinary Life of a Pig," which tells the hilarious story of Marshal Tianpeng's reincarnation in the Journey to the West world.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Crimson Emperor, Flees Ten Thousand Miles Away
Besides the "Great Free Emperor," the Northern, Eastern, and Southern sects of the Demonic Sect respectively inherit the true teachings of cultivating the Primordial Heavenly Demon, the Supreme Heavenly Demon, and the Crimson Emperor Emperor.
The Heavenly Demon Sect, which rose to prominence later and is now the leader of all the demonic sects, has also gathered the seven true teachings for cultivating the "Emperor of Hell" through ruthless and unscrupulous means of acquisition.
Unfortunately, the Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect were a huge pitfall in themselves.
When the Seven Phoenixes created the world, apart from the Heavenly Phoenix which had long since shed its shell and reincarnated, attaining enlightenment, the other six phoenixes had not yet escaped their tribulations and needed a perfect dwelling.
Once the Ten Divine Magic Techniques of the Divine Sect and Demonic Cult are mastered, they will perfectly suit the needs of the six phoenixes. Without the protection of a magical treasure that forms its own world, the fruits of their labor could be stolen by someone else at any time.
Among the five Demon Emperors, apart from the Great Emperor of the Big Dipper who attained enlightenment through an unorthodox method and the Yama Emperor who fled to the Star Sea, the other three Demon Emperors could not escape the clutches of the Seven Phoenixes.
