"You can do anything!"

Taiyi Zhenren nodded, then gave Xuanqing a Daoist curtsy: "I entrust the matter of Nezha to you, fellow Daoist! I just wonder... if there's anything I can do for you?"

He trusted Xuanqing quite a bit, but Nezha was his disciple after all, and he couldn't just ignore Nezha's situation!
Upon hearing this, Xuanqing immediately revealed a strange smile: "Then please, Fellow Daoist Taiyi, announce to all living beings in the prehistoric world as quickly as possible that Nezha be expelled from the Chan Sect, and let's make a just separation!"

"what?"

Taiyi Zhenren was incredulous, then shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, are you joking with me? You should also know that Nezha was tricked. As his teacher, it would be my duty to protect Nezha and expel him from the Chan Sect. Wouldn't that be playing right into Rahu's scheme?"

Then, as if he had thought of something, he shielded the still unconscious Nezha behind him and said, "Fellow Daoist, you wouldn't be trying to steal my man, would you?"

Nezha's aptitude is among the best in the three schools of Taoism; otherwise, he would not have been able to cultivate into a Great Luo Golden Immortal in such a short time!

Although the three religions share a common origin, and Xuanqing is nominally the master of the Taoist sect and the Heavenly Venerable of Propagating the Dharma, the doctrines of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect are still different.

The disciples of the two sects were still secretly competing with each other!
However, among the second-generation disciples of the three Taoist sects, Xuanqing was the first to attain enlightenment, and among the third-generation disciples, Fumin, an extraordinary figure, emerged. In terms of prestige, the Chan sect is indeed much weaker than the Jie sect.

However, as long as Yuanshi Tianzun is still alive and the Chan Sect's lineage continues, there will eventually come a day when it surpasses the Jie Sect. If the second and third generation disciples are not up to the task, then we will place our hopes on the fourth and fifth generation disciples.

Taiyi simply refused to believe that every generation of disciples from the Jie Sect could outperform his Chan Sect disciples!
"how is this possible?"

Xuanqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "Nezha's path to enlightenment is already set. I'm not like those two fellow Daoists from the West, so how could I possibly do something like poaching someone from another sect?"

He explained, "What I mean is, since Rahu wants to use Nezha to scheme against the Chan Sect and incite the dissatisfaction of all living beings in the prehistoric world towards the Chan Sect, then we will play along. On the surface, we will expel Nezha from the Chan Sect! But in reality, we will use Nezha to lure out Rahu's backup plan!"

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Let Nezha infiltrate the demonic path and find out its true nature so that we can better eliminate the demonic path and restore order to the primordial world. Have you never heard of Infernal Affairs?"

In the primordial world, many demonic organizations have emerged, colluding with each other and spreading demonic arts everywhere, threatening the survival of ordinary beings.

The three major schools of Taoism, as well as the Heavenly Court and Buddhism, organized many cultivators to suppress them, but these demonic cultivators were like weeds, impossible to eradicate completely. One wave was killed, and another wave would come.

It should be noted that although Yuanshi Tianzun and others were dealing with the Chaos Demon God in the River of Time, there were still a few saints in the prehistoric world.

Logically speaking, when sages deduce the secrets of heaven, those demonic cultivators should have nowhere to hide, yet they are unable to completely eradicate the demonic path.

Without a doubt, it was that Demon Ancestor Rahu who was stirring up trouble from behind the scenes!

In the primordial world, there are probably quite a few cultivators who have had demonic seeds planted by Rahu. The strangeness of the "Primordial Demonic Qi" makes it impossible to guard against.

Since that's the case, let's just play along and have Nezha betray the Chan Sect and join the demonic path, and see if we can use this to turn the tables on Rahu!
"Master, your disciple is willing to infiltrate the demonic path to atone for my sins. Please grant my request!"

Nezha woke up at some point and overheard the conversation between Xuanqing and Taiyi Zhenren. He also remembered the things he had done after he became a demon.

His expression was resolute, with a trace of regret still lingering on his face. If it weren't for Master Taiyi's timely arrival, he would have been branded as a murderer of his fellow disciples!
Within the Chan Sect, he had the best relationship with Yang Jian. If he were to kill Yang Jian while in a demonic state, he would likely regret it for the rest of his life!

Just as Xuanqing said, his cultivation level improved too quickly, and he was indeed lacking in his Dao heart!
"Ugh!"

Master Taiyi sighed helplessly: "Since you want to go, then go!"

He really didn't want Nezha to take any risks!

But Nezha is now a Great Immortal and has his own ideas. As his teacher, he can't impose his own ideas on him!

"good!"

Xuanqing's ghostly avatar nodded in satisfaction, then flicked his finger, imprinting an obscure scripture specifically designed to hone one's Dao heart into Nezha's sea of ​​consciousness: "This scripture was created by me by combining the characteristics of celestial immortals with the Buddhist method of undergoing tribulations. It is called the 'Three Worlds and Ten Directions Dao Venerable Tribulation Heart Sutra.' It can be used to continuously enter the world through tribulations with the help of my avatars, thereby refining the Dao heart of my true self!"

Immediately afterwards, he used the Great Dao of the Mind to condense a phantom Dao Heart, and with unpredictable means, merged it with Nezha's Dao Heart.

"The mind can contain Mount Sumeru and encompass all things; it has a good side, and naturally, it also has a bad side!"

"You are the incarnation of the Demon Orb, with talent far surpassing your peers, and your cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds. However, over time, this has fostered a proud heart in you!"

"But as you get to know Yang Jian and are defeated by him, your pride disappears, and you lose confidence, always feeling inferior when facing Yang Jian!"

"And your personality is very different from that of your peers in the Chan Sect, to the point that you have become somewhat withdrawn without realizing it!"

"This is wariness!"

"Furthermore, your hasty and impulsive actions demonstrate a lack of perseverance!"

"In addition, your will is not firm, your original intention is not firm, and you often change your mind, which is why Rahu's primordial demonic energy took advantage of your weakness!"

Xuanqing has one incarnation that resides in the Buddhist realm, where he discusses Buddhist teachings with Jieyin and Zhunti. He also has another incarnation that transforms into the Demon Lord of the Dark Moon in the Demon Realm, where he establishes the Jie Sect and takes charge of the Heart Demon lineage. He has a deep understanding of the Great Dao of the Mind and can naturally see the flaws in Nezha's Dao heart at a glance.

Moreover, the fragment of the "Creation Jade Disc" that he obtained from Zhuzhao and Youying contained the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of the Mind.

Uncertainty about his initial intentions, lack of confidence, excessive caution, and difficulty in maintaining perseverance, coupled with his own demonic nature, are the reasons why Nezha was corrupted by demonic energy.

"Human hearts are fickle, but the heart for the Way is steadfast. On the path of cultivation, there are too many temptations, and no one can avoid setbacks and failures forever!"

"Only by overcoming laziness, anxiety, arrogance, greed, stinginess, resentment, anger, and jealousy, and by adhering to your original aspiration, maintaining firm faith, and remaining vigilant, can you cultivate a fearless heart, forge ahead with determination, and persevere on the path of cultivation, so that you may achieve a pure heart and be like Yang Jian, untouched by external demons!"

Xuanqing analyzed Nezha's problems step by step. Although his strength was similar to Yang Jian's, his Dao heart was far inferior to Yang Jian's.

This is why Yang Jian is the leader of the third generation of disciples of the Chan Sect!

Of course, this problem is not unique to Nezha; many cultivators face it, such as the Spiritual Stone Monkey Qitian, who encounters the same issue as Nezha.

only……

Daoist Duobao noticed this problem and discussed it with Xuanqing, which led Xuanqing to study this supreme scripture for tempering one's Dao heart.

"Thank you, Uncle Master!"

Nezha quickly bowed in gratitude, for this scripture indeed provided a good explanation for his question.

As for the illusory Dao Heart that Xuanqing merged into Nezha's body, it was something Xuanqing cultivated. In order to ensure that Nezha would not actually fall into the demonic path in the following plans, he temporarily lent it out.

Taiyi Zhenren was dumbfounded: "Can the Dao Heart be borrowed?"

Although he knew that Xuanqing was rather unorthodox and often researched some rather wicked supernatural powers, he never thought that he could lend his Dao heart out through the Great Dao of the Mind!
“Why not?” Xuanqing smiled slightly. “I can lend you Dao Fruit and magic power, so why can’t I lend you my Dao Heart? If Fellow Daoist Taiyi is interested, I can also lend you my Primordial Dao Fruit to study!”

"really?"

Master Taiyi was overjoyed.

If one could peer into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth from the perspective of a Primordial Golden Immortal, one would surely benefit immensely, and might even find the opportunity to attain the Primordial Dao!

"nature!"

Xuanqing nodded: "I lent my Dao Fruit to Senior Brother Duobao before! However, our Daos are similar. I cultivate the Dao, and he cultivates the Dao of Weapons, so it doesn't affect us much! But Fellow Daoist Taiyi, your Dao is very different from my Dao of Refining. If you can't strengthen your Dao heart, you'll easily be influenced by my Dao!"

In Xuanqing's view, among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, the one with the best chance of attaining the Primordial Dao was not Guangchengzi, nor Chijingzi, but Taiyi Zhenren, who had found his own path long ago.

While other cultivators were pursuing the Great Luo Dao Fruit, Taiyi Zhenren had evolved his Taiyi Dao Fruit to its ultimate form.

Each realm of the Immortal Path is essentially the development of a certain characteristic to its extreme, and each characteristic has the potential to achieve the Primordial Chaos.

In the primordial world, among the Taiyi Golden Immortals, Taiyi Zhenren was absolutely number one!

He naturally wanted to establish a positive relationship with the other party!
If it is the Taiyi True Man who can deduce the Taiyi realm to a level comparable to that of a sage, it will greatly help him deduce the mythical realm.

Boom!

With a thought, Xuanqing split his Dao Fruit in two, with one half falling into Taiyi Zhenren's auspicious cloud and merging with it.

"An immortal touched my head, granting me eternal life. A sage touched my head, and the Great Dao became a guiding light!" A glint of light appeared in Taiyi Zhenren's eyes: "Is this how the world is in the eyes of a sage?"

As for Nezha...

After seeing that Taiyi Zhenren had entered a state of enlightenment, he left Mount Tai and, as Xuanqing had instructed, tried to infiltrate the demonic faction.

He appeared in the human world and, upon seeing the many practitioners who criticized him, immediately went on a killing spree, slaughtering those practitioners who insulted him and the Chan Sect.

This is the principle that Xuanqing taught him!

Since words can't convince the other party, then use the "Universe Ring" to subdue them!
After exiting his state of enlightenment, Taiyi Zhenren immediately returned to Kunlun and had Guangchengzi issue a statement expelling Nezha from the Chan Sect!
"interesting!"

Luo Hou also learned of this news and couldn't help but sneer, "A brave man cutting off his own arm, a righteous act of separation, is indeed in line with the temperament of the disciples of the Chan Sect!"

He originally wanted to see how the Chan Sect would handle the matter, but he didn't expect that Guang Chengzi would directly expel Nezha from the Chan Sect!

Thinking of this, he immediately used the demonic seed to manipulate a cultivator to find Nezha: "The immortal path is full of hypocrites. They actually expelled you from the Chan Sect because of some rumors! Nezha, you are a demonic orb in human form, and you are destined to be with my demonic path!"

Nezha ignored all that and killed the cultivator with a single spear thrust: "Damn you, how dare you show your face in front of me!"

He wasn't stupid. Although he wanted to infiltrate the demonic path, being too proactive was not in line with his personality and would only make Luo Hou suspicious of his motives.

Therefore, he did not express his opinion directly, but instead killed the cultivator in front of him.

He sneered, "Whether I'm a demon or an immortal, the world has its own Li Nezha! Whether I stay or leave, life or death is in my own hands. Neither the demonic nor the immortal path can bind me, Li Nezha! Whether I'm a demon or an immortal is not for you to decide!"

Nezha was extremely rebellious and arrogant, straddling the path of immortals and the path of demons, and he did not take Rahu, the Demon Ancestor, seriously.

But the more he acted this way, the happier Luo Hou became. In his view, the demonic path should not be restrained, and Nezha was born to be the seed of the demonic path!

"interesting!"

He began to relentlessly pester Nezha.

He even descended in his avatar to personally explain the mysteries of the demonic path to Nezha, and attempted to make Nezha the spokesperson for the demonic path in the prehistoric world!
Nezha, however, showed a disdainful attitude: "The demonic path is nothing but a stray dog! If the demonic path is really as powerful as you say, why don't you dare to descend upon the prehistoric world, and only dare to stir up trouble behind the scenes?"

He was provoking Rahu to see if there was an opportunity for Rahu's true form to descend upon the primordial world.

……

Meanwhile, the great battle in the river of time and space also came to an end. The Dark Demon God was defeated, and the Collapse Demon God and the Death Demon God were also suppressed and refined.

Of the dozens of Chaos Gods, only the Order God and the Tide God escaped.

The others were either annihilated by Pangu's true form and the Primordial Heavenly King's Dharma Image, or refined into innate treasures by Xuanqing using supreme methods!

Of course, the primordial saints were also seriously injured. Apart from the Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and a few others such as Xuanqing, Fumin, and Nuwa, almost everyone was injured and their aura was weak.

"This can't go on!"

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh: "Although the sages of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man can recover from their injuries by drawing on the origins of these three paths, they are consuming the origins of the primordial world. If this kind of great battle continues, the primordial world will probably enter the Dharma-ending Age!"

As a sage of the Earthly Path, he could sense that the power of the Earthly Path was constantly weakening, and that they had consumed too much of the Earthly Path's power during this period.

The Way of Heaven and the Way of Man are quite similar!
Even with the Tongtian Jianmu tree and the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen" (Great Array of the Celestial Stars) in the ancient starry sky, the conversion of spiritual energy could not keep up with the consumption rate of the primordial saints.

During this period, due to the continuous extraction of power from the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man by the various sages, coupled with the outbreak of the Five Turbidities Calamity in the prehistoric world, the cultivation environment in the prehistoric world is deteriorating.

"How about we take the Primordial Era and run away?"

Seeing the exhausted saints, Xuanqing immediately proposed a bold idea: "Let's join forces and take the Primordial World to the Chaos Origin Sea, and with the help of Pangu's backup plan there, resist these Chaos Demons?"

He had previously considered abandoning the prehistoric world and using Fu Min's "Chaos Pearl" to lead the creatures of the prehistoric world into chaos.

But this was met with unanimous opposition from all the saints!
The sages took human form in the primordial world and attained enlightenment there; how could they easily abandon the primordial world?

Therefore, Xuanqing, as a second-best option, proposed the "Wandering the Primordial World" plan, which would take the primordial world directly to the place where Pangu took human form, triggering Pangu's backup plan and causing Pangu to clash with those chaotic demons and gods!

after all……

When it comes to dealing with the Chaos God, who is more professional than that guy Pangu?
