I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 165: Jiang Chuan's heart is indeed dark, even his own weapon is deceived

hum!
Just when Jiang Chuan and others were chatting happily, a green light flew in from outside the door and turned into a green ribbon, wrapping around Lu Chenling's arm.

"Chen Ling, the six sects of the Demonic Path have stolen the key to the Nine Abyss Prison from the Taicang Zhou family and want to get a piece of the pie."

Silkscreen paused and continued, "Bodhi Temple won't relent or give up its benefits anytime soon. The Nine Abyss Prison won't be opened anytime soon. You can leave the Nine Abyss Imperial Capital and return to the Seven Killing Demon Sect to continue your retreat and cultivation."

"So my master and the others didn't go to Danfeng Mountain today because the key to Jiuyuan Prison was taken away?"

Jing Hui looked worried: "Are my master and the elders okay?"

Ribbon replied, "The Six Demonic Sects simply stole the key. Kong Bei and the others went to investigate and they've probably already figured out it was the Six Demonic Sects who did it."

Jiang Chuan picked up the wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Chuan had long anticipated that the key to Jiuyuan Prison would be stolen.

In the simulation, Bodhi Temple thought Jiang Chuan died in Kuntian Immortal Mansion. Before Mu Bingyun and Nangong Chang had a sword duel, they prepared to open Jiuyuan Prison together with Taicang Zhou family and Jiuyuan royal family.

Now Jiang Chuan intervenes and fights with Nangong Chang and Mu Bingyun in Danfeng Mountain.

The time for Bodhi Temple to open the Jiuyuan Prison was naturally postponed.

The time for the six demonic sects to seize the key to the Nine Abyss Prison was naturally postponed.

Meng Luoshu smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, you don't seem to feel bad at all about losing the opportunity."

"If I get the inheritance and treasures of Demon Lord An Yu, I won't be short of some flesh and blood of the celestial demon." Xiang Dong said with envy in his eyes.

"Who would complain about having too much opportunity?" Jiang Chuan asked back.

Mu Bingyun stood up quickly, staring at Jiang Chuan with her beautiful eyes.

"You desire opportunities, yet you don't grieve over the loss of them. Could it be that you have already comprehended the mysteries of the Heavenly Heart, begun to eliminate the six desires, and are about to achieve the Heavenly Heart Dao realm of selflessness, without affection, and without desire?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not going to turn into a stone man." Jiang Chuan hurriedly clarified.

The so-called Tianxin Dao realm is actually what the ancient cultivators believed: the Dao is emotionless and desireless, impartial and selfless.

Human emotions and desires hinder monks from practicing Taoism.

Only by cutting off the seven emotions and six desires and leaving only a pure heart of Tao can one achieve the Great Dao.

Ziwei Immortal King, Qingyu Immortal Venerable and others scoffed at this view.

Even the Ziwei Immortal King said in person that without emotions, people are no different from stubborn stones.

"Then why are you so calm?"

Xiang Donglai looked curious, then suddenly looked at Lu Chenling.

"Jiang Chuan, you wouldn't have kidnapped Fairy Lu and exchanged her for the key to the Nine Abyss Prison with the Seven Killing Demon Sect, would you?"

The ribbon wrapped around Lu Chenling's arm emitted a green glow.

"Jiang Chuan is very powerful. I'll hold the cat hostage. Then, Chen Ling, you can use the talisman that the master gave you to attack Jiang Chuan. Try to kill him."

Jiangchuan: "."

No, what is going on?
It’s fine if they spread rumors about me in front of me, but why are there still people, no, Daoqi, who believe it?
Jiang Chuan grabbed Xiang Donglai's neck and said, "Don't slander me. When did I say I wanted to kidnap Fellow Daoist Lu?"

"Relax, I can't breathe."

Xiang Donglai struggled hard, but Jiang Chuan's arms were like big iron clamps and he couldn't break free at all.

"I knew that a good man like Jiang Chuan would not do something like tying me up and blackmailing my father." Lu Chenling had great trust in Jiang Chuan's character.

"The demon cultivators are insidious and cunning, sweet-mouthed but treacherous, and they change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book. Chen Ling, you must never trust Jiang Chuan's words." The voice of Ribbon sounded again.

"You're right."

Patriarch Ziyun nodded: "Jiang Chuan lied to me before, saying that he was the founder of the Demonic Path."

Jiangchuan: "."

I am telling the truth, I, Jiang, am really the founder of the Demonic Path!

The Demon Lord of Redemption is my master, and the Demon Lord of Seven Killings is my senior brother. Who in the entire demon world has a higher seniority than me?
"am I right."

Ribbon continued, "He even lied about his own Dao weapon. A sinister demon cultivator like Jiang Chuan cannot be trusted in a single word."

"The key to the Taicang Zhou family's Nine Abyss Prison is lost, so I can just use my key to replace it, right?"

Jiang Chuan said as he took out a palm-sized jade pendant from Jiang Shan Daoyi's storage space.

The jade pendant was as black as ink, with the word "prison" engraved on its surface in iron-drawn and silver-hooked characters.

A cold and chilly aura surged from it, and the temperature in the air dropped rapidly.

"The key to the Nine Abyss Prison! How do you have the key to the Nine Abyss Prison?!" Ribbon exclaimed.

Nangong Shuiyue's eyes widened: "Jiangchuan, you actually have the key to the Nine Abyss Prison!"

"Could this be the one from Bodhi Temple?"

Meng Luoshu looked at Jiang Chuan in surprise and doubt: "No, there is no reason for Bodhi Temple to give the key to you for safekeeping."

Jiang Chuan replied, "It's not the one from Bodhi Temple. This is the key to Jiuyuan Prison that my ancestor and I got in Kuntian Immortal Mansion."

Ancestor Ziyun shook his head up and down: "This is indeed what I obtained in Kuntian Immortal Mansion."

"Now the six sects of the Demonic Path will be left empty-handed."

Xiang Donglai broke free from Jiang Chuan's restraints and laughed loudly.

The immortals and demons were inherently at odds, and as the Dongji Sect's first true disciple, he naturally wished to see the demons suffer. "The Nine Abyss Prison Key not only opens the Prison, but also protects the cultivators from the strangulation of most of its formations. With the Nine Abyss Prison Key, the chances of obtaining the Immortal Phoenix's flesh and blood will be greatly increased."

Nangong Shuiyue suggested: "Jiangchuan, I want to join forces with you on behalf of Wanmu Dao Palace."

Apart from the Bodhi Temple, the one that is most eager to open the Jiuyuan Prison is the Wanmu Taoist Palace.

Bai Mengqiu's master, Yan Hongwei, was severely damaged by a thunderstorm and needed the blood of the Immortal Phoenix to save her life.

Yan Hongwei is a genuine ninth-level cultivator. She is the strongest cultivator among the group below Taoist Yuan Heng, the Eternal Demon Lord and the Lord of the Sword Palace Fang Qingting!
Wanmu Dao Palace will do its utmost to rescue as long as there is a slight possibility.

"Taisu Immortal Palace and I also want to join forces with you, Brother Jiang." Meng Luoshu immediately spoke.

Nangong Chang touched his nose and said, "I am also interested in the flesh and blood of the Immortal Phoenix. Count me in."

"If you all join forces with Jiang Chuan, then I will also join forces with Jiang Chuan." Xiang Donglai hugged Jiang Chuan.

"We can certainly join forces, but the Nine Abyss Prison is fraught with danger, so everyone should be cautious."

Jiang Chuan picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine.

The six demonic sects are trying to seize the key to the Nine Abyss Prison, which means they want to get involved.

Even if Bodhi Temple could bring in Shuiyue Temple and Mingwang Palace, plus the Jiuyuan Dynasty, it would still not be able to fight against the Six Sects of Demonic Path.

In addition, there is the Maha Palace that may come out to disrupt the situation, the Wanmu Taoist Palace that wants to snatch the Immortal Phoenix Blood, and the Taicang Zhou family and other forces.

Once the Jiuyuan Prison is opened, it will surely cause a bloody storm.

Although his own strength is not weak, the incarnation of the Starry Sky Buddha refined from the star core has magic power comparable to that of a cultivator in the seventh realm.

But the six sects of the devil are even stronger, among which the Supreme Demon Sect even has the immortal weapon, the Supreme Heavenly Sword!

His purpose in showing the key to Jiuyuan Prison to Nangong Shuiyue, Meng Luoshu and others was actually to drag Wanmu Taoist Palace, Dongji Sect, Taisu Immortal Palace and other forces into the water.

Otherwise, relying solely on the three Buddhist and Taoist sects and the Jiuyuan Dynasty, they would never be able to compete with the six demonic sects.

Only if the immortals intervene and muddy the waters in the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital and the Jiuyuan Prison, will he have the opportunity to seize the fortune therein and kill Li Yuejiao in the chaos!
"Cultivation is a battle for life with heaven. If you don't fight for the opportunity when it comes, how can you practice Taoism and become an immortal?" Mu Bingyun's voice was sonorous and powerful.

Nangong Chang, Xiang Donglai and others nodded, agreeing with Mu Bingyun's words.

"Do you want to take this little girl with you whose eyesight is not very good?"

Patriarch Ziyun suggested, "If you encounter a cultivator from the Demon Sect, push this little girl to the front. With Lu Jinglin's daughter as your trump card, no demon cultivator will dare to attack you."

"You dead cat, who are you saying has poor eyesight?"

Lu Chenling gritted his teeth and wanted to draw his sword to chop down the Purple Cloud Ancestor.

Xiang Donglai looked at Jiang Chuan with sympathy: "Jiang Chuan, no wonder you fell into the devil's way, it turns out that there is an evil demon accompanying you."

"It's true that those who keep company with vermilion will become red, and those who keep company with ink will become black. Following Patriarch Ziyun, it will be hard for Brother Jiang to avoid falling into the devil's way." Nangong Chang sighed lightly.

Ziyun Patriarch: ???
What's the matter with you?

Why are you, like Jingyun, putting all the blame for Jiangchuan's transformation into the devil on me?
It's obvious that this guy is a born devil!
Finally, after some discussion, Jiang Chuan formed a preliminary alliance with Nangong Shuiyue, Mu Bingyun, and Xiang Donglai, and entered Jiuyuan Prison together to fight for good fortune.

After paying the bill of 300,000 spirit stones, Jiang Chuan prepared to leave Jiuzhen Tower.

Considering that the cave in front of Jiangchuan was probably crowded, Xiang Donglai took the initiative to ask Jiangchuan to stay overnight.

Jiang Chuan declined Xiang Donglai's kindness, saying that he needed to buy treasures such as Yin and Yang Qi to cultivate his supernatural powers, and it would be inconvenient for him to stay at Jiuzhen Pavilion.

"Jiangchuan, in ten days, my Linglong Pavilion will hold its annual auction, where many precious treasures will be auctioned."

Meng Luoshu said slowly: "If you are not in a hurry, wait ten days before buying treasures. If you come across a suitable treasure or magic weapon, you can directly refine it into your magical power and increase its power."

"In that case, let's meet at Linglong Pavilion in ten days."

Jiang Chuan said as he looked at the Purple Cloud Ancestor on his shoulder, revealing an expectant look: "I wonder if this time, Ancestor, can help me pick up a big bargain?"

Finally, under Nangong Shuiyue's arrangement, Jiang Chuan moved into the inn opened by Wanmu Taoist Palace with Nangong Chang, Mu Bingyun, Lu Chenling and Jing Hui.

He generously waived the room fees for Jiang Chuan, Jing Hui, Mu Bingyun and Lu Chenling, but only charged the room fee for Nangong Chang, a direct disciple of the Nangong family.

Although Nangong Shuiyue and Nangong Chang are both from the Nangong family of the Guhua Dynasty, the Nangong family, like the Taicang Jiang family, is a large family with a long history and more than 100,000 members.

The relationship between the two of them is similar to that between Jiang Chuan and Jiang Chao.

Apart from the fact that they share the same surname Jiang and ancestors, they are no different from strangers.

However, it is obvious that Nangong Shuiyue, as a member of the side branch, does not like the direct line of the Nangong family.

A spiritual spring trickled through the cave, and green willows formed a shade with thousands of branches hanging down. The rich spiritual energy was almost turning into mist.

Jiang Chuan walked into the cave for a moment, and a figure in blue clothes also walked out from outside.

It is the incarnation that Jiangchuan created using the star core.

The incarnation transformed into a blue starlight and penetrated into the sea of ​​consciousness between Jiangchuan's eyebrows. Jiangchuan then came to the courtyard and sat cross-legged under the green willow tree.

[Ding! Simulation begins. Now randomly matching the host with a dating simulation partner.]

[Ding! Match successful.]

[The romantic partner for this simulated match is Jiang Yingyue, the reincarnation of the Sea God.]

"The reincarnation of the Sea God!"

Jiang Chuan was slightly stunned. "Just as Poseidon Pearl predicted, the Poseidon has truly been reincarnated! I wonder if this is part of the plan of the Demon Lord Huangquan?"
