Destiny is ashes

Chapter 1114 Using Demon to Subdue Demon (25)

At this moment, the Dao Spirit, which had been instantly refined by An Jing, also cleared its thoughts and memories, and answered in a voice that seemed to be composed of the harmony of many voices.

The Xuan Tian Sacrifice created us to completely resolve the problem of 'Heavenly Demon Corruption'.

Upon opening his mouth, Dao Ling uttered words that made An Jing raise an eyebrow: "Our goal is to spread our laws throughout the entire world, and then completely eliminate the demonic invasion."

"As expected, the Xuan Tian Sacrifice wasn't originally the way it was in later generations."

Because he had fought against Xuan Tianji in the Zhaolin Realm, An Jing could confirm that the Great Chen Saint Ancestor had not fallen into depravity even when he had already begun trading with the Heavenly Demon.

It was a vibrant and confident mindset. He was indeed researching the Heavenly Demon, but it was not simply about maintaining the bloodline of his clan and the throne. Rather, at that time, the Divine Court had probably not yet collapsed, and he was still a member of the Divine Court. How could he have started thinking about the grand cause of the future at that time?
Therefore, An Jing believed that Xuan Tianji, who was the most talented among all the Heavenly Venerables, definitely had his own plan.

Moreover, it is absolutely profound.

It can even touch upon the most fundamental needs of the Heavenly Dao... namely, how to resolve the issue of the Heavenly Demon.

Otherwise, Xuan Tianji would never have received the favor of Heaven and obtained the 'Second Generation of Nothingness-Generating Immortal Tree'.

"I can see it."

An Jing said calmly, “You are the Great Group, the soul of the Great Chen Imperial Court. Xuan Tianji merged himself into you, so you are all of you, as well as the Heavenly Officials of all generations, all the imperial blood that has been integrated into the Imperial Court, and even the collection of many ordinary people who have been integrated into the earth vein array... Xuan Tianji is your core, so every emperor after him is a ‘proxy core’ selected by you from the imperial blood.”

“When I first spoke with Prince De, I found it rather strange. The Imperial Court selects the Prince of Zhen not based on ability and character, but simply on ‘Imperial Court approval’. And while the Imperial Court selects the Emperor, although talent is an element, it is still largely based on ‘Imperial Court approval’.”

"At that time, I thought that the Imperial Court must have its own will. It's just that I couldn't be sure whether this will was a program that simply followed the rules or a 'living thing' with its own will."

"Oh, not only that, but... the entire Celestial Official System is actually based on your physical bodies, isn't it?"

【Yes】

The Dao Spirit, reconstructed by Anjing, answered fluently. Although it was only a wisp of a complete Dao Spirit, it still possessed a wealth of information: "[The bestowal of titles upon Heavenly Officials is essentially a request for power from us; this is the 'True Spirit Seal of Flame Fusion.' Moreover, when any Heavenly Official steps down or dies, their power returns to us; this is the principle of 'Heaven and Earth devouring people.'"

The Emperor's Blood contains the Xuan Tian Sacrifice, which is our will. Each selection of the Emperor's Blood makes the bloodline purer, even more perfect than the Xuan Tian Sacrifice was back then. This cycle of blood is the 'Azure Spirit True Scripture'. We are both the multitude and the one. When we become myself again, the Xuan Tian Sacrifice will be reborn. This is the 'Immortal Pill'.

The Heavenly Sea Earth Vein Grand Array is the root of the Yingtian Immortal Tree, governing all spirits. It is the 'Heavenly Origin Profound Spirit Orthodox Method'. The entire Great Chen Dynasty system, constructed from countless national-guarding divine weapons and national-guarding heavenly martial arts, is also the 'Taibai Haoling Divine Restriction'.

Finally, the laws that everyone must obey, all the strict rules, and the vast, convergent thoughts of all living beings are the fuel of the law, capable of restraining all spirits and suppressing heavenly demons; this is the 'Mysterious Light and Mysterious Spirit Chapter'. [Gathering the five laws and uniting them into one, this is the 'Dragon,' the primordial dragon born from the Dao. When the 'Imperial Book of Heavenly Laws and Mysterious Imperial Imperial Expedition Returning to Origin Secret Scripture' is fully completed, we will devour the Yingtian Immortal Tree, transform into the Ancestral Dragon, and return to the world.]

Just as An Jing had thought.

Back then, Xuan Tianji did indeed master the Five Emperors' Laws. However, unlike An Jing, he chose to use the "Mysterious Light and Dark Spirit Mysterious Chapter" as the core, supplemented by the "Yellow Emperor's Law" and the "Azure Emperor's Law," to create his own Daoist methods. He then used the "White Emperor's Law" to create the ever-present martial forces such as the National Guardian Divine Weapon and the Heavenly Martial Weapon. Furthermore, he used the "Flame Emperor's Law" to create the cycle of power distribution and recycling through the "Heavenly Official of Ordination," thus establishing a complete social order.

This is also part of the Five Emperors' Law, not only the Daoist Law, but also the Law of Civilization. However, it is clear that Xuan Tianji did not regard civilization as the ultimate goal. When he created the Great Chen Dynasty, he had already thought everything through. He wanted to use the entire Tianzong Dynasty, and even the Yingtian Immortal Tree that had been helping him all along, as firewood and raw materials to allow himself to live another life!
but……

"why?"

An Jing stroked his chin, quite puzzled, and said, "To be honest, although I have mastered the essence of the Five Emperors' Law, it will still take at least a few years to create the entire system of divine weapons and celestial officials... And you, oh, you all. You are fighting in the south and north, and at the same time fighting against several peak masters. Even with the help of the Yingtian Undying Tree, the situation should be quite difficult."

"But you actually managed to create a technique like the 'Imperial Book Secret Scripture' back then, a technique comparable to the Dao Scripture of the Dao Integration... How could Xuan Tianji be so stupid as to cooperate with the Heavenly Demon and even try to devour Wu Zhong Sheng?"

This doesn't make sense... How could a genius capable of conceiving and executing such a grand plan choose the most foolish shortcut at the most crucial point?
This is not a collaboration.

Dao Ling denied this, saying: "From beginning to end, we have been controlling the Heavenly Demons, even now, even now..."

Dao Ling was unable to continue speaking.

It lacks complete memory and therefore cannot fully answer questions about the 'present'.

But it doesn't matter, An Jing can understand.

Or rather, the moment Dao Ling uttered those words, he had already deduced the answer himself.

Commanding the Heavenly Demons...using the Heavenly Demons to suppress...suppress what?
Stop the practice of "cannibalism"!
Xuan Tianji's desire to activate the Heavenly Demon is essentially the same as An Jing's desire to seal the "Heaven and Earth Devouring People" part of the "Cave Heaven Method." After learning the ultimate truth of the Dao Integration Technique, Xuan Tianji also realized the most dangerous aspect.

The Daoist court could have used morality, observation, and the principle that laws should not be easily passed on to suppress it back then, but Huaixu is different now... If a Celestial Venerable really goes mad and wants to eat people, or if the subsequent Xuan Tian Emperor wants to go mad and devour the entire Celestial Official system and the people of Dachen, then it would probably be too easy for him to do so.

By then, it will be too late to stop it. The Emperor of Dachen could fall into one of the most terrifying demons in the world with just a single wrong thought.

Therefore... we use the Heavenly Demon to suppress demonic thoughts.
