When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 915 Bozhou Ding Appears
The transformation of the Immortal Realm is still in full swing, and the war in the [Dust Tribulation Floating World] is not yet over, but this does not affect the fact that the seemingly real yet illusory flame of civilization has already been burning brightly.

On Tianxuan Peak, Tang Yuan, who had been taking a break for a long time, finally stood up, his eyes like torches, staring at the blazing firelight that came from all living beings in heaven and earth and then converged into one place.

To the naked eye, there is no trace of it, but if one observes it with spiritual insight, one can see that the ball of fire is as bright as the sun.

"It's about to begin!"

Even a Dao Lord like him couldn't help but feel a little unsettled at this moment. The Ink Palace had been guarding the void for countless years, and now there was finally hope of returning to the center of all realms.

Tang Yuan stood suspended in mid-air, nodding slightly and saying, "Good!"

"Heaven's will is clear, and virtue carries all things." As the Grand Master recited the Mohist mantra, a colossal cauldron, too enormous to be described in words, slowly appeared in the sky.

Its height is immeasurable, like a pillar supporting the sky and touching the earth, reaching straight into the void. Its entire body is both real and illusory, neither gold nor jade. The body of the cauldron is covered with cloud-like inscriptions and Qin dynasty seals. Just by looking at it, one feels countless truths flowing into one's mind, and long-standing problems are easily solved.

The Nine Tripods are national treasures!
Although these nine tripods were cast by Emperor Yu, the immortal Qin left a more profound mark on their bodies.

The legal principles and Daoist symbols engraved on its body almost encompass the Dao of heaven and earth and all things, the ultimate principles of the universe, such as the military strategy of killing, the laws of the Legalist school, Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, life and death, and thunder, all of which are contained within it.

Similar in essence is the Great Void World, which was created by the Heavenly Court with all its might by imprinting the Three Thousand Great Daos.

"As long as the Nine Tripods remain intact, the Qin laws will not be lost. Rather than calling them national treasures, they are more like the inheritance of the Qin civilization."

Because of the Heavenly Court's prohibition, Tang Yuan didn't know much about the Immortal Qin Dynasty. However, through various signs and his understanding over this period of time, he could tell that this unique Immortal Dynasty, which openly lacked a single Great Luo Immortal but was regarded as a great enemy by the Heavenly Court, definitely hid countless secrets.

Its own spirit and ambition surpassed those of dynasties like Tianxia, ​​Tianshang, Xianhan, and Xiantang, which were limited to one realm, and were even comparable to Taiyi Divine Court, Five-Colored Divine Court, and Jade Emperor Heaven.

However, compared to those Dao marks, what concerned Tang Yuan more was a hideous crack in the belly of the cauldron, from which wisps of black mist seeped out.

If you look here, you will hear demonic whispers and incantations, and all sorts of illusions will surround you, eroding your mind.

The principles he comprehended were naturally incredibly distorted, chaotic, and fragmented.

If it weren't for the fact that the Grand Master had mentioned it beforehand, and Tang Yuan hadn't been prepared, using the technique of separating the real and illusory worlds to isolate this "rift" or "scar" from reality.

With just this one move, countless cultivators in the entire Earthly Immortal Realm will suffer from qi deviation and fall into the path of evil.

According to Ju Zi, this wound existed before King Zhao Xiang obtained the cauldron, and it was very likely the result of the war that led to the change of dynasties between the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties.

This wound has no substance and does not damage any physical object; it only goes against the law and can disrupt or even change the legal rules of a region, making it as chaotic as a fog.

Ju Zi believes that it may have been left by a powerful demonic cultivator during some war.

However, in Tang Yuan's view, this doesn't seem to be a demonic method at all. Although magic is evil, it is also one of the great paths.

The wound here reminded him more of the various chilling and unorthodox practices displayed in the Qinghua Grand World and Daqian Ganlu Temple in the past.

At that time, Tang Yuan was only a primordial spirit, and just looking at him made him feel crazy and disoriented. But now that he has become a Dao Lord, he can deal with it more easily.

Moreover, the "wounds" on the Bozhou Cauldron are not as active as those of the Deceptive Technique; one must actively contact them and deeply perceive them in order to receive their reflection.

It must be because the Dao marks on the cauldron still have some suppressive power over it.

The work at Daqian Ganlu Temple was done by Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, but I wonder who did this here.

While Tang Yuan was pondering, the Grand Master had already entered the second stage. He stood on the void, and ripples spread out beneath his feet. The three flowers above his head appeared and disappeared.

The vast and boundless magical power smoothed out the wrinkles of time and space, establishing a passage that was attached to the void yet transcended reality.

One end is connected to the illusory Bozhou Cauldron, and the other end is connected to the flame of civilization condensed by all living beings.

What is truly astonishing is that both the Fire of Civilization and the Bozhou Cauldron were originally illusory objects, but when the two were combined and the fire entered the cauldron, both of them actually gained a tangible feel as the cauldron trembled.

Looking through the stove opening on the belly of the cauldron, one can see that the flames are nine-colored, beating incessantly like a heart.

The inscriptions on the cauldron seemed to come alive, constantly pulsating and interacting, creating a series of pictures under the firelight.

From the Yellow Emperor's conquest of Heaven to Youchao's establishment of the Dao, from Yu the Great's flood control to King Wu's conquest of Zhou, and even Qin's unification of the six kingdoms, standardization of writing and cart axles, and the homage of all nations, from the kings and nobles residing high in the heavens to the common people buried in the countryside, all lived to the fullest in this scroll of history.

All living beings are civilized!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Accompanied by three resounding clangs that echoed throughout the myriad realms, all the talismans converged into a divine script.

This is the second ancient divine script that Tang Yuan has seen in his life, apart from the "sun" script in Chiwen's dream.

The "culture" of civilization!
Northern Xinjiang, a sea of ​​blood at the earth's core.

Aside from the Abyssal Sword on the main seat, the handsome young man sitting to his left is none other than the Blood Sea Sect Master, Demon Lord Tian Dui, who has been reborn in the Blood Sea after a thousand years.

The person holding the Abyssal Sword to the right is the Demon Lord Gou Tu. He was the previous Lord of the Hall of Killing All Beings. He attained enlightenment during the Immortal Tang Dynasty, but he did not ascend to the Nine Netherworlds, nor did he enter the Blood God Temple. Instead, he guarded the White Bone Island of the Blood River.

Further to the right, there was a female cultivator, wearing a long, dark black cloak without any patterns. Her hair was not tied up high, but was only held back diagonally with a black jade hairpin, with the rest flowing down to her waist. Her eyebrows and eyes were extremely beautiful, yet extremely faint, almost to the point of being unremarkable.

Demon Lord Xuan Yin!

A demon lord who emerged from the Blood God Temple only in the last hundred years.

As for the lower seats, they were naturally headed by Sang Chan and Lian Tai, the two Great Demons of the Five Decays. The rest were seated according to the Three Halls, Four Pools, and Blood God Temple. A quick glance revealed that there were more than thirty people in total, and most of the Heavenly Demons of the Blood Sea Path were present here.

This also reveals just how exaggerated the blessing the final tribulation bestowed upon the demonic path was. It's worth noting that since Tang Yuan's rebirth, he has killed quite a few demons.

However, the power of the Blood Sea did not diminish in the slightest. In the Daoist sect, there were people of the chosen generation such as Zhou Ju, Xu Zhi, Fan Xiang, Li You, and Zhang Fuxiang who achieved the Primordial Spirit in just over a thousand years.

The demonic path was equally formidable, with four members achieving the Heavenly Demon realm!

At the same time in his previous life, even Tang Yuan had not yet become a primordial spirit. The Five Emperors' Families and the Five Clans and Seven Noble Families were still around. The conflict between the Dao and the Demons was still at a low intensity, not even close to that of a primordial spirit. There was no sign of a demonic calamity or even the end of the world.

It can be said that all these changes were caused by Tang Yuan, and the trajectory of the Earthly Immortal Realm is completely different from that of the previous life. The boy who was transformed from the Abi Sword looked up and saw that even though this place was far from the Chaos Sea, the various scenes were not diminished at all, as if they were playing at the gate of the Northern Frontier.

“Immortal Qin,” Abi Sword sighed, “why do people always want to summon the soul for this huge trouble?”

"No matter what, the Immortal Qin Dynasty is just a dynasty in the Earthly Immortal Realm. It seems that there are no Great Luo level beings there. Why do you care so much, sir?" Tian Duo, who was usually arrogant, was now as obedient as a mouse and asked cautiously.

Abi Sword coughed lightly and said, "You were all born after the Immortal Qin Dynasty. How could you know the ambition and power of that person back then? The so-called Floating World created by Tang Yuan is just a jumbled mess of fragmented information. It can hardly reflect even a fraction of the true terror of the Immortal Qin Dynasty."

“But some things are true.” He paused and continued, “Even the Five-Colored God Emperor and the Jade Emperor failed to make both the Dao and Demonic sects submit at the same time, but the Immortal Qin did.”

Abi Sword looked around and said, "None of you remember that disciple of our sect who served in Xianqin, do you?"

The demon lords exchanged glances and shook their heads, saying, "All records and even traces of that senior have been erased by some kind of power. We only know that there is such a person in our sect, but we know nothing about the details."

“That’s natural.” Abi Sword said with a sneer, “The Heavenly Court is too wary of the Immortal Qin. After destroying its kingdom, it was afraid that it would rise from the ashes, so it completely concealed its existence.”

"Even if I wanted to explain to you, the information that reaches your ears will be completely distorted and even incomprehensible. This is a method at the level of the Great Dao of Rules, which shows how deeply the Heavenly Court is wary of it."

"As for your senior, he was an exceptionally talented individual. In my opinion, he was no less than Tang Yuan. After he died alongside Xian Qin, even the Nine Netherworlds could not take him in, and not even a trace of him remained."

"He can be considered a tragic figure."

Although the Blood Sea Sect has long worshipped the Avici Sword, and several demon lords and some heavenly demons in the arena have even had the honor of wielding it to fight against enemies.

But at that time, the Avici Sword had not yet awakened its spirit and was merely a simple killing weapon. It had never been able to communicate like this before, and even revealed so many high-level secrets.

For any Dao Lord, such knowledge involving the level of a Great Luo Dao Venerable, or even the secrets of the Eight Trigrams, is extremely precious.

Tian Duo and the others listened attentively, hoping to get more information from Abi Sword.

But Abi Sword seemed to be just speaking from the heart, and quickly changed the subject, asking, "Sang Chan, how is the progress on the Blood Soul Palace side?"

Sang Chan said in a deep voice, "Tang Yuan did not break his promise this time. The [Ling Shu Dharma Realm] has indeed stopped restricting the Northern Frontier region. However, those illusory bodies operated by the Blood Soul Hall still need to be cleared of their names slowly, otherwise they will still be pursued by the [Qing Xu Thunder Mirror]."

The reason why this siege of the aristocratic families went so smoothly was largely due to the tacit cooperation between Tang Yuan and the Demonic Sect. The Cui family thought they had switched sides in time and hitched a ride with the Demonic Sect, but they did not expect that the latter would sell them off for a good price and provide the Daoist sect with a good excuse to collude with the Demonic Sect to cleanse the aristocratic families.

Aristocratic families always believe that they still have sufficient strength and resources to move freely between the Dao and the Demonic paths. If the Daoist sects are aggressive, they can simply go to the Northern Frontier to make a living.

In their view, with the Dao and the Demonic Path now at odds and engaged in an arms race, how could the Demonic Path refuse such assistance?

However, the demonic path also had its own calculations. It was true that the aristocratic families had some foundation, but their operations were too extensive, and their roots were deeply embedded in the Central Plains, making it difficult to relocate them as a whole to the Northern Frontier.

Of course, the prospect of a single Dao Lord and a dozen or so primordial spirits collectively defecting to the Northern Frontier is also very tempting, but that would inevitably provoke a full-scale counterattack from the Daoist sect, and might even trigger a demonic calamity ahead of schedule.

However, over the past thousand years, the Taoist sect has developed rapidly with the help of the [Ling Shu Dharma Realm], and with the close cooperation between the Huazhou Small Reincarnation sect and the Buddhist sect, its strength has grown even faster than that of the demonic sect. In addition, with Tang Yuan, the "Number One Person in the Earthly Immortal Realm," it is really not a good time to start a full-scale war.

As Abi Sword said, time is on the side of the demonic sect. The closer we get to the end of the world, the stronger the demonic path's fortune will be. Starting a war prematurely is definitely not a wise move.

Moreover, once a war breaks out, it's uncertain how much strength the aristocratic families can retain. It could very well lead to the fall of a Dao Lord and the death of their primordial spirits.

In that case, from the perspective of the demonic path, this deal would definitely not be considered profitable.

Just like before when Miaoyin Pavilion betrayed them and welcomed Su Nu Dao back, they put in a lot of effort but only gained a few big cats and small cats like Long Xin. For this, they even lost two tentacles that went deep into the East Sea. It can be said that they gained nothing but losses.

Instead, it would be better to join forces with the Taoist sect, just as the three religions previously joined forces to divide up the Five Emperors' families, and put the families back on the table.

Of course, another point is that, like Tang Yuan, the Demonic Sect also looks down on the behavior of aristocratic families, which is considered to be a violation of etiquette and a way for mediocre people to rise to power. For the already impoverished Northern Frontier, wasting resources on mediocre people is the greatest sin!

There are also families in the Northern Frontier, but for these old devils, their descendants are the most useful resources, so there is no problem of resource misallocation.

Even with only a one in ten thousand chance, the demons of the Northern Frontier would choose to sacrifice all their blood and bones in order to break through, rather than hoping for pseudo-immortality through bloodline transmission, which would only deceive themselves.

In a sense, the northern frontier is the fairest place. No matter how noble your bloodline or how extraordinary your origin, you are still prey for those old demons.

Therefore, the disciples of the Northern Frontier Demonic Sect are mostly filled with awe and reverence.

The need to be wary of one's own clan is greater than to take advantage of them. Who knows when a random member of the clan might suddenly appear, offering to sacrifice the lives of the entire clan to help one cultivate?

It can be said that it is better to turn the world into a battlefield than to allow any one family to stand in the halls of power. When the pursuit of common prosperity cannot be achieved, it is still possible to die together, which is also a kind of satisfaction.

In a sense, a world ruled by demons is more hopeful than one ruled by powerful families.

Abi Sword snorted coldly and said, "Tang Yuan is always like this. He clearly has his own needs, but he pretends to be doing you a great favor."

"His ambition for the [Spiritual Pivot Dharma Realm] is immense; it's clear he intends to transform it into a second-tier illusionary realm, much like the Heavenly Court's Great Void World."

"If we seek the truth, how can we do without my Holy Path and the Blood Sea? This is a mutually beneficial matter, and he must be quite eager for it as well."

"That is so," the lotus platform replied. "I can feel the connection between myself and my illusory body in this mortal world gradually increasing, and our energies and causal relationships have already merged. If there is still some time, I may be able to transform this illusory body from the illusory to the real, refining it into a dharma body in reality."

"It seems that Tang Yuan can also take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the true form, which might even be effective in the future."

“It’s alright.” Abi Sword shook his head slightly. “This [Spiritual Pivot Dharma Realm] is indeed a great help to cultivation. I think our Daoist cultivators will also usher in a surge.”

"As for your concerns, I will take care of them myself, so there is no need to worry."

After several exchanges, Abhikkhu clapped his hands again, steer the conversation back to today's main topic.

"Although the Immortal Qin is full of troubles, its hidden strength is real and enough to affect the outcome of our Dao Tribulation."

"Therefore, no matter what Tang Yuan's scheme is, we must follow up. Let's undo the Netherworld Formation soon. The thousand-year-old mountain closure will eventually come to an end."

"It is time to let the voice of my Way resound throughout the heavens."
