Tao and Heaven

Chapter 150 The Demon King Takes Over the Body and Becomes the Celestial Lord
Gu Wen leaned over and felt the eight-meter-long fox demon corpse. He found that the demon clan's method of storing items was similar to Ao Tang's, both of which refined a certain part into storage space.

This is related to their practice methods. Humans practice Qi, while demons practice body training. Humans practice the myriad Dao methods, and mainly integrate the heaven and earth into the art of magic. Demons practice the innate method and visualize the innate way of gods and demons.

But if you ask which one is better, Gu Wen thinks the human race's method of practicing Qi is better.

Because among the human race, the Demon Sect's Divine Blood Sect is only a branch, the real mainstream is the orthodox Xuanmen sect that focuses on Qi training.

Practice makes the truth come out. It is not that the human race cannot visualize the innate, but the fact that it has not become mainstream so far speaks volumes. In the cultivation world, the law of the jungle will naturally eliminate the weak.

Where is the fox girl's storage space?

Gu Wen felt around, and because he was a demon, he was not shy about anything. Suddenly, he realized a very interesting problem.

Foxes are also mammals, with four organs in their physiological structure, and she only has two in her transformed form. But when he observed the tiger demon, he found that although it had a human body and a tiger head, it had more than seven or eight mammalian organs.

Chi Yuzi came over and saw Gu Wen looking at the fox demon's corpse with a thoughtful look on his face, and asked, "Why? You can't bear to part with a beautiful fox?"

Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and lust is a natural instinct, let alone when facing Tu Shanxue, a genuine fox saint.

For some people, it is very prestigious to take such a monster as a slave. For example, some powerful people like to take some big monsters as mounts. Since the records of the cultivation world began, it seems that no one has taken a Tushan clan as a furnace tripod.

She understood that Gu Wen was moved, as long as he didn't show mercy at the critical moment.

She patted Gu Wen's shoulder and said comfortingly: "The fox demon is good, but if you really take it back, the goddess will twist your head off. Just let her go with the wind."

"Actually, I'm curious why the fox demon didn't retain its features when it transformed into a human, but the tiger demon retained its features. And why did it have to transform?"

Gu Wen explained his curiosity to Akabaneko.

Akabane frowned, and instead of answering, she pointed at herself, showing her sharp fangs, and asked with murderous intent, "Although I don't wear women's makeup, you should know that I'm a woman, right?"

"Of course I know."

"Then why are you telling me all this, you rascal!"

"It's okay, brothers."

Akabane was so angry that she wanted to kick him, but she was afraid of hurting him. Her physical strength was now comparable to that of a Taoist soldier. Just as the Taoist method was not for people, she could not hit people casually.

Otherwise, if you get hurt from fighting, someone will come to kill you right after, which would be stupid enough to kill you.

Gu Wen asked, "So why are the transformations different?"

Akabaneko answered, "Transfiguration depends on the skin, flesh and bones, and bones are the most difficult to transform, so there are those monsters with animal heads and human bodies. The truly amazing transformations look no different from humans, and I've even heard that there is a kind of transformation that can mate and reproduce with humans."

"Is the baby born a human or a monster?"

"Shemales, things that are neither human nor ghost, basically can't live long."

At this time, the fox demon's corpse's hair swelled up and all kinds of objects began to appear.

Without Tu Shanxue's magic power supply, the objects hidden in the hair began to appear.

Chi Yuzi used a Taoist sword to cut off the fur at the waist and said, "This is the material for making the Qiankun bag. Generally speaking, the weapon refiner will make it himself, but it is best to use the parts of the demon race."

“It’s really mutually beneficial.”

Gu Wen leaned over to collect the spoils. No matter what they were, he put them all into the Qiankun bag. Together with the original herbs, the bag was soon filled to the brim.

A Qiankun bag for a large fish tank is not enough.

It was the same when I went to the secret realm to collect herbs before. I couldn't fit dozens of kilograms of them in. Excessive squeezing would damage the herbs, which would not be worth it.

Seeing this, Akabane said considerately, "Do you want me to refine this skin into a Qiankun bag?"

"how much is it?"

"Why are you still talking to me about money? You're talking as if you're willing to give it."

Akabane rolled her eyes. She had not yet settled the score for the elixir that had cheated her out of her!
Moreover, for her, it is not difficult to refine a Qiankun bag, especially since this skin has been refined through sacrifices and has certain storage functions.

Hearing this, Gu Wen immediately understood and said, "By the way, can you make me some clothes with the fox demon's fur? Otherwise, I will have to change into new clothes after the fierce battle."

With the intensity of the fight, even armor couldn't withstand it. The clothes he was wearing now were all bought by Yu Hua in Luodu before, and he only had a few left.

"roll!"

"I'll give you another sword."

As soon as Gu Wen said this, Chi Yuzi's face suddenly improved a little, and he shouted: "Humph, for your sake, Daojian, I will help you once more."
-
Gu Wen and Chi Yuzi each carried the monster's corpse and returned to the secret cave. The little mouse monster curled up in the corner and stayed there obediently.

When Ao Tang saw the corpse of a white fox being carried by two men, he sensed a breath coming from above and his eyelids twitched.

"Is this the Qingqiu royal family?"

Gu Wen answered without hesitation: "It should be. She calls herself Tu Shanxue."

First he killed the nephew of the Lord of Angri Cave, and then he killed the royal family of Tushan. This is going to be a big uproar.

Ao Tang looked stunned, but didn't say much afterwards.

Because their current situation is that it doesn't matter if the descendants of the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism are killed. Although he likes to talk about human relationships, he also knows what is important.

It’s just that this second ancestor is a little too ferocious. These geniuses of the demon clan are not dogs on the street. How can they be killed just like that?
"Where's Hu Yuan? He shouldn't have let it run away, right?"

"Hu Yuan is Tu Shanxue. It could be some internal fight among the demon tribe. The prince is wandering outside and plans to return for revenge."

Gu Wen said this nonchalantly as he began to sort out the spoils.

After confirming that the pill is non-toxic, put it directly into your mouth to obtain a small amount of celestial marrow, which will replenish your magic power and restore it to its full strength.

Generally speaking, elixirs containing a lot of heavenly marrow can accelerate the cultivation of the Tao foundation, so no one will keep them all the time. Basically, they will be eaten when they are available.

Fortunately, the cultivation method of the demon race is different from that of humans, so some of their flesh, blood, and demon pills will remain.

Gu Wen was rubbing two demon pills, one white and one black. To show respect, he swallowed the black sheep demon's inner pill first. He couldn't let the lowly demon pill of the sheep demon be mixed with the noble demon pill of the fox demon royal family.

【Tian Sui Eighty Years】

One demon pill of thirty years of heavenly marrow is not too low, and you can get some heavenly marrow by eating meat.

Ao Tang frowned slightly and said, "I heard that there was a turmoil in Qingqiu a thousand years ago, which led to the death of a demon king. Could this girl be the bloodline of the previous demon king who was left outside?"

"Maybe, but it's none of our business. There are a lot of secrets out there, and a lot of them are boring."

Gu Wen could read a lot of information from Tu Shanxue's few words.

For example, Qingqiu has Tushan as the emperor, why did she use the alias Hu at the beginning, and how she finally completely changed her aura, and how the other party had some kind of immortal aura.

Those petals can slightly reach the level of one or two immortal swords, so they can only be of the same level of power.

But what does this have to do with me? Who doesn't have a little secret in the world? Chi Yuzi's soul, Jun Yan's experience in the burial cave, and the Qingcang Immortal in Yu Hua's body, all of these are more important than the so-called internal struggle of the royal family.

It is better to hold the demon pill in your hand, which is real and has fur, so you can make a piece of clothing for yourself.

Suddenly two items caught his eye.

The letter was an extraordinary thing. The paper was as tough as a tendon and carried with it wisps of extremely powerful aura, the rhyme of Tao from some powerful being.

The token is unremarkable, but in this case, the more inconspicuous something is, the more powerful its origin is.

Akabane also noticed the token, picked it up and knocked and hit it, looked it left and right, and even put it in her mouth to bite.

Are you a dog?

Gu Wen complained in his heart, then opened the letter and checked its contents.

Just the first sentence made him feel uneasy.

[I was once the sixth generation demon king of Qingqiu. I am glad to see you in person.]

[In the past, the demon clan of Tushan was a mighty emperor, and all spirits looked up to him. Unfortunately, treacherous officials stole the country, and the imperial power fell into the hands of others, causing the bloodline to be separated and the clan to drift away. I was deeply saddened to hear about this.]

[However, God blesses Tushan, there is still orthodox divine blood flowing outside, and I have taken over another body and been reborn as the head of a major sect of Jidao Sect. Although I am in a different body, my heart is with my homeland, and I want to help you return to Qingqiu and ascend to the throne of the Demon King. ]

Brother He’s sect?
Gu Wen remembered that the Yin Yang Sect was one of the top ten largest Taoist sects, and it was also the sect where He Huan belonged.

In the cultivation world, there are many sects that focus on dual cultivation, and these are divided into the Luding Sect and the Dual Cultivation Sect. The former belongs to the Demonic Path, and the latter belongs to the Xuanmen Sect. Among them, the strongest dual cultivation sect in the Xuanmen Sect is the Yin Yang Sect.

By the way, according to what He Huan said, the righteous way of Xuanmen is not necessarily righteous. The Yin-Yang Sect practices a system of one practitioner with multiple wives, that is, one strong man has multiple Taoist partners, which also leads to frequent forced behavior due to some qualifications.

He Huan has already figured out a solution. If his reputation is notorious, he can find hundreds of people at once. There are many people who are willing to sell their bodies for wealth and glory. As long as He Huan is not afraid of cheating, there are many ways to find the furnace.

However, considering He Huan's appearance and her principle of only looking for 'true love', it is unlikely that he would be cuckolded.

As a genius in the sect, he can still afford to support a group of ordinary women.

If the contents of the letter are true, then He Huan's ancestor is actually the Demon King who was reincarnated.

A demon king of the demon race took over the body of a Taoist master from one of the top ten sects. He was a powerful Taoist master, and the best one had the strength of a semi-immortal.

He was possessed by a demon without anyone noticing.

"What's written in it?"

Akabaneko came over and took a look, his expression changed drastically, he could no longer suppress the murderous aura, and with a loud bang, he swept away the dust and gravel around him.

Gu Wen quickly protected the two demon corpses. This thing contained heavenly marrow, and he wanted to make full use of it to eat it.

There was a saying of Tu Shanxue that he agreed with very much: the existence of all things in the world depends on food and death. Eating is the right of the winner, and death is the fate of the loser.

"The Demon King has taken over a human body and has reached the position of Heavenly Lord?"

Akabane was extremely shocked. Ao Tang, who had been lying down, stood up with a start, his expression becoming extremely serious.

He cast his mind and read the contents of the letter. After a moment of stunned expression, he frowned and said, "Have the previous headmaster of the Yin Yang Sect and all the powerful people lost their minds due to the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man? How could they come up with something like this?"

Without Gu Wen's questioning, Ao Tang lowered his head and began to think: "It is meaningless to seize the body of a powerful being, and it is extremely difficult to succeed. But among the young disciples, all the true disciples have soul restrictions, regular checkups every ten years, and various large and small soul checks."

Gu Wen asked, "No countermeasures?"

"Of course there are, but the winner of two opposing schools will be determined by the difference in strength. It will often be a test between the Jindan stage and the Mahayana stage. The Yin-Yang Sect is probably at the Dao realm, spanning seven or eight realms."

Ao Tang explained to Gu Wen the various mechanisms used by large sects to deal with possession of bodies.

There are two types of possession: perfect fit and perfect fit. The former is difficult to detect, while the latter can be recognized at a glance by familiar people. Generally, only the former is discussed.

The perfect possession of a body does not exist above the Nascent Soul stage. Once a cultivator condenses a Nascent Soul, the body will be inseparable from the Nascent Soul. The subsequent two stages of separation and fusion are to repeat this step. The former separation is to turn the Nascent Soul into the Primordial Spirit, and the latter is to turn the Primordial Spirit into a True Spirit.

This repetition is because very few people can directly condense the primordial spirit, and it is impossible for anyone to turn the primordial spirit into a true spirit.

If you insist on doing it in one step, that's fine, but that will lead to the problem that the lifespan is completely insufficient.

The difficulty of Nascent Soul is one, that of Primordial Spirit is ten, and that of True Spirit is one hundred.

This difficulty difference needs time to be overcome, just like going from primary school to junior high school, from junior high school to high school, and from high school to college. If you can complete a doctorate in elementary school, you can also get a degree certificate.

But in reality this is basically impossible to achieve.

Gu Wen felt that this sounded very familiar. Wasn't this what he had done in the first four levels of his Dao foundation?

It’s just not as complicated as it is outside. For example, the fourth level of Taoism foundation is achieved in one step, and the fourth level of perfection has turned into a true spirit.

The full name of Gu Wen's soul is Five Spirits Primordial True Spirit God, which means that when he reached the fourth level of Taoism, he possessed the qualities that the Heaven Beyond Heaven needs to accumulate to reach the fusion stage in one step.
