Chapter 3: The Magic Pearl

In the white, misty space, darkness slowly descended, and black elements began to precipitate bit by bit...

Below the space, a middle-aged man, who seemed both divine and demonic, was intently watching the image above his head. The black wings on his back highlighted his extraordinary nature. Above, a teenager around fifteen or sixteen years old touched a pitch-black pearl with his right hand. At that moment, a series of images began to emanate from the pearl.

The middle-aged man was none other than the legendary Demon Saint, Motian.

And the teenager was Aoshuang, who had just crossed over.

"Is this Sword Sharpness? Is this Tree Reaching the Sky? Wave Rolling, Flame Piercing the Sun, Earth Enduring? But what are those two above? I've never seen them before, strange, strange," Motian said, surprised by the scene.

Sword Sharpness, Tree Reaching the Sky, Wave Rolling, Flame Piercing the Sun, Earth Enduring—these were five martial arts images. Martial arts images were the pinnacle of martial arts, only attainable by those with extraordinary talent and unique experiences, who had cultivated to the Spirit Saint level. Those who could comprehend these images had the potential to become emperors, or at the very least, great heroes.

Above these five martial arts images were two more. On the left, a towering figure with an indiscernible face, but with three pairs of wings on his back, sat in the air. Two spheres orbited around him, one dark and one bright. The dark sphere emitted a mysterious light, as if it could devour the world, while the bright sphere was blinding, as if it could blind the eyes. Even Motian dared not look directly at them. On the right, a figure radiating a dazzling light stood in the air, his hands raised as if to tear open the heavens.

Motian had never seen such a strange sight and could only sit down, close his eyes, and meditate. He believed this was a unique encounter for him. Even as a soul, if he could gain a bit of insight, it would be immensely beneficial for his future.

Above, the teenager's right hand touched the pearl, and his whole body trembled, his eyes tightly closed, as if he was enduring immense pain.

In the black space, the five martial arts images appeared in sequence, not resisting each other but not approaching either, just quietly emitting a powerful aura. Above them, the two martial arts images, like the sun and the moon, shone together, though without much turmoil, their extraordinary nature and hostility were evident.

All of this was because of the black pearl.

The teenager slowly opened his eyes. In that instant, his right eye flashed with a power that seemed to pierce the heavens, while his left eye, like the moon, emitted a gentle light that seemed to touch the soul. The light that flashed by made Motian's body shudder. The seven images also gradually faded and disappeared as the teenager opened his eyes.

"Phew, strange, too strange," Aoshuang murmured, "Magic Pearl, Dance of the Sun and Moon?"

"Awake? Kid, what is that pearl?" Motian, who saw the pearl for the first time, knew it was extraordinary. At his level, he had some understanding of the evolution of the world, but he could not see through this pearl.

"Magic Pearl," Aoshuang said calmly.

"Magic Pearl? Could it be the first treasure of the ancient demon race, the Magic Pearl!?" After knowing what the pearl was, even Motian's calm heart seemed to waver: "Yes, only the Magic Pearl could make me, a Demon Saint, unable to see through it."

"Senior Motian, what is so special about this Magic Pearl?" Aoshuang was also curious about the pearl's extraordinary nature.

"When the Magic Pearl appears, ghosts and gods are slain, and the heavens and earth weep! Sigh, the Magic Pearl is the treasure of the ancient demon ancestor, who was the pinnacle of existence. The rise of the demon race was led by the demon ancestor! Even at my level, I can only look up to such a figure." Motian was cautious in front of the Magic Pearl.

"Is the Magic Pearl really so powerful, slaying ghosts and gods, making the heavens and earth weep?" Aoshuang asked, puzzled, because to him, the pearl had only brought him to this world and nothing else.

"I'm not entirely clear about the specific wonders of the Magic Pearl, but every time it appears in the world, it causes a wave of slaughter, with countless lives lost and bloodshed." Motian continued, "Don't you feel anything? It's said that the demon ancestor reached his supreme level because of the Magic Pearl. Hey, kid, the flower on your body is quite beautiful."

"Flower?" Aoshuang hadn't noticed it before, but now, after Motian mentioned it, he realized that his upper body was bare, and his arms had tattoos. Intricate patterns wrapped around his arms, resembling two black dragons. Aoshuang touched the tattoos and felt a warm sensation.

"That's strange, I didn't have any tattoos before I crossed over, so why do I have them now?" Aoshuang was very surprised.

"What do you mean by crossing over, and tattoos? Aren't they called flowers? Tattoos, yes, quite fitting," Motian said, stroking his chin.

"Oh, never mind. By the way, do I have any tattoos on my back?" Aoshuang quickly changed the subject and turned around.

"Hmm, yes, this is..." Motian drew a circle in the air, and an image of Aoshuang's back appeared. Aoshuang focused and saw a smaller version of a towering man sitting there, with three pairs of wings faintly visible on his back. Two spheres orbited around him, one hollow and one solid.

"Dance of the Sun and Moon?" Aoshuang said. "What is Dance of the Sun and Moon?"

"It's the name of the tattoo. When I touched the Magic Pearl, I had some strange memories, but they were too complex to explain right away. I only know that this image is called Dance of the Sun and Moon."

Motian stroked his chin and said, "Could the image on the left above the five martial arts images be called 'Dance of the Sun and Moon'? What a powerful name!"

After a martial artist becomes a saint, their martial arts image appears behind them when they act. Motian seemed to see a man in the air, with six wings, the sun on his left and the moon on his right, orbiting around him. The man opened his eyes, and a divine light shone, looking down on the world with a powerful and domineering presence.

"Too strange, kid, how did you get the Magic Pearl?" Motian asked.

"I don't know. I made a mistake in my practice, got injured, and passed out. When I woke up, I was like this. Senior, you and the Magic Pearl appeared inside me." Aoshuang said this, but in his heart, he wondered how the Magic Pearl could appear on Earth and bring him to this world.

Motian stroked his chin again, "Kid, you must not let others know you have this treasure. I will stay in your mind to recover, and you must not reveal it."

"Yes, I understand, Senior."

Motian was a Demon Saint, a practitioner of demonic arts, with a demonic body. Aoshuang knew that those who practiced demonic arts were free-spirited, bold, and had unpredictable moods. Since Motian was in his mind and seemed to have no ill intentions, he decided to take it one step at a time.

"Imagine the outside world and control your soul to return, and you can leave."

"Alright, Senior." Aoshuang steadied himself and slowly disappeared.

"Sigh, it's fate. I am a Heavenly Demon Body, and even I feel a bit of resistance from the Magic Pearl. This kid's demonic potential must be even greater than mine. The rise of our demon race is hopeful. Now, I just need to recover my soul power and repair my body. I'll deal with it when the time comes." Motian was also helpless, wanting to control the Magic Pearl, but the pearl seemed to resist him. He knew that such divine objects acted on their own and could not be forced.

Aoshuang's soul returned to reality, and he sat down, reflecting on what had happened.

"Dance of the Sun and Moon! Magic Pearl, since you chose me, I will not let you down. When I can truly dance with the sun and moon, and support the sky and step on the earth, I will make your name known throughout the world!"

When Aoshuang said this, he didn't notice that the Magic Pearl inside him flickered...
