I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 273 If you don’t plot against your own people, can you still be called a demon cultivator?

[An Yuan was born in the cave world of Qingteng Cave. His parents were ordinary people in the cave world of Qingyou Old Demon.]

[My daily work is to recite scriptures devoutly in front of the statue of Qingyou Old Demon, providing him with the power of faith.]

[When Dark Abyss was born, the vital energy of heaven and earth shook, and a rosy cloud appeared in the empty room.]

[This immediately alarmed the disciples who were helping the old demon Qingyou manage the cave world.]

[These disciples took Dark Abyss as a fairy seedling and brought it to the old demon Qingyou.]

The old demon Qingyou was very happy that a fairy seedling had been born in the cave world he had opened up.

[He directly bestowed the name of Anyuan and accepted the infant Anyuan as a registered disciple.]

[Anyuan did not disappoint the old demon Qingyou in his regard for him.]

[He broke through to the third realm at the age of twelve, and to the fourth realm at the age of eighteen, and successfully drew the celestial map.]

[At the age of twenty-five, he broke through to the peak of the sixth realm and began to prepare to forge the foundation of immortality.]

[At the age of 540, Dark Abyss forged an immortal foundation and broke through to the sixth realm.]

[At the age of 560, Dark Abyss broke through to the peak of the Seventh Realm.]

[At the age of six hundred, An Yuan survived nine thunder tribulations and broke through to the peak of the Eighth Realm.]

[Having just broken through the peak of the eighth realm, Dark Abyss, he was sent to the Immortal Slaughter Alliance by the old demon Qingyou.]

"Fellow Daoist, you have seen my disciple's entire life, my scriptures and my supernatural powers. Could you please spare my disciple's life?"

Accompanied by a calm voice.

On the Dark Abyss's soul, wisps of blue-black Taoist patterns rose up and transformed into an old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest wore a loose green Taoist robe and wrapped his head with a green cloth.

His skin was as dry as a dead leaf, his face was full of the vicissitudes of life, and his black eyes revealed kindness and gentleness, as if they could soothe all worries.

Anyone who sees the old Taoist priest for the first time will think that he is a Taoist monk with Taoism, rather than an old demon who may break through to the level of a demon.

"In Anyuan's memory, fellow Daoist entered an ancient immortal's cave three hundred years ago. Now it seems that fellow Daoist has successfully cultivated the True Immortal Scripture and merged the immortal and the devil into one. This is truly cause for celebration."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

There are countless people who have mastered the scriptures of magic and immortality throughout history.

However, there are very few people who can fully grasp the profound meaning of the two scriptures and combine them into one, even if you look through all the ancient history!
The fact that the old demon Qingyou was able to transform the restrictions created by the Tao into a physical form was enough to show that his strength was already that of an extremely powerful immortal, not inferior to the divine fortune teller!

"I'm still a long way from becoming a True Immortal, and I don't deserve your congratulations."

The old demon Qingyou shook his head: "I wonder if you are willing to let my disciple go?"

"I have no grudge against you, so it's okay to let Anyuan go, but you have to answer a question for me."

Jiang Chuan asked, "Is the fake Cang Yuan of the Taihong Sect a plot by your Luxian League?"

"Is Cangyuan, the leader of the Taihong Sect, a fake?!"

The old demon Qingyou was taken aback. "I've never heard the two vice-leaders mention this, but fellow Daoist should also be aware that there are countless people who are eyeing the Taihong Sect's million-year-old foundation. This matter must have been the work of another Daoist, or perhaps someone within the Luxian Alliance."

The Immortal Killing Alliance is, after all, just a relatively loose organization, and everyone comes together to divide up the Taihong Sect.

If the time really came to divide up the treasures and heritage of the Taihong Sect, perhaps the Old Demon Letu, the Old Ancestor Xuehe and the others would start fighting among themselves.

"It's not the Luxian League's plan. The situation in Feixian Land is indeed extremely chaotic. In the previous simulation, Shen Nanxing left Feixian Land and went to the Dark Star Sea. Is this related?"

While Jiang Chuan was thinking, the old demon Qingyou spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist, you kidnapped my disciples, presumably to plot against the Taihong Sect's foundation. I'm weak and alone, and I'm worried that you will turn against me in the end. I wonder if you're willing to form an alliance with me?"

"An alliance?"

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay."

"I wonder what your name is?"

"Blood Hand Demon."

"Even if you don't want to form an alliance, there's no need."

Before the old demon Qingyou could finish his words, he suddenly realized what was happening and looked surprised: "Daoyou, are you the unlucky Blood Hand old demon who was impersonated by our Immortal Slaughter Alliance?"

Jiangchuan: "."

You are the unlucky one!
Your whole family is unlucky!
[Although the name Jiang Chuan is not well-known in the starry sky, it is very famous in the Qingyuan world.]

[With the Qianjie Chamber of Commerce, Feixian Building, and Wanbao Chamber of Commerce entering the Qingyuan Realm, you are also worried about your identity being exposed.]

[So I directly revealed the name of the Immortal Killing Alliance, which I gave you.]

The Qingyou Demon never imagined that by simply forming an alliance with a powerful cultivator, he would find the Blood Hand Demon, who had destroyed the Changle Demon Star, slaughtered all the cultivators on that star, and was now wanted by the Letu Demon and many other forces.

[Then the old demon Qingyou stated that the masters of the remaining seven demons, including the two deputy leaders, could be their potential enemies.]

He hopes you can find an opportunity to obtain their magical powers and see through their weaknesses. You readily agree, handing Blood Kill and Dark Abyss to the old demon Qingyou. After taking a token inscribed with the word "Qingyou" from the Dark Abyss storage bag, you leave.

[Although the battle between the Immortal Slaughter Alliance and the Taihong Sect was fierce, the Immortal Slaughter Alliance's deputy leader, who was impersonating you, was ultimately at a disadvantage even when facing the Immortal King's soldiers while holding an immortal weapon.]

[Once they are defeated, the Immortal Slaughtering Alliance on Feixian Land will inevitably be annihilated by the Taihong Sect.]

[Therefore, the Immortal Slaughter Alliance retreated as the Eight Demons and other high-ranking officials withdrew.]

[In less than half a day, a massive battle was completely over.]

[The entire Feixian Land, hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, were reduced to ruins due to the war, with broken walls and shattered limbs everywhere.]

[The next morning, you come to Feixian Tower again.]

The city where Feixian Tower was located was no different from the last time Jiangchuan had visited. It was just as peaceful and tranquil, forming a stark contrast to the crumbling mountains and land around it.

[When you want to enter the city, you are rejected by the guards.]

[The reason is that many demons from the Luxian League have not been able to leave and are lurking in Feixian Land. Only after the Taihong Sect announces the complete elimination of the demons from the Luxian League will the city be opened to allow cultivators to enter and exit.]

[Looking around the city, you see a dense crowd of monks who want to enter the city with you. You turn around and leave helplessly.]

[You arrive at a collapsed mountain thousands of feet high, and immediately begin a retreat, contemplating the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King who defies fate.]

[Five years later, through comprehending the Dao Fruit of the Immortal King of Reversing Fate, your understanding of the Dao of Time has advanced even further. You can now extract six hundred strands of Time Light from the river of time.]

Twenty years later, after a long period of retreat, you feel that you have digested a portion of the teachings of the future Star King Buddha.

[Not only has he taken a giant step forward in the path of time, but he has also taken a giant step forward in the path of the void, and his understanding of the mysteries of the universe has also become more profound.]

You are excited, but also a little disappointed.

The teachings of the Future Constellation King Buddha are extremely profound and abstruse, encompassing not only various astonishing magical powers but also the development of all things and the evolution of all living beings.

[With your current state, it is impossible to comprehend all of them.]

[Over the years, you have made rapid progress in the way of time, which is closely related to this sermon.]

[Now you will be able to comprehend and understand the principles of time and space, and digest the mysteries of the universe.]

[The remaining content is quite profound and difficult to understand, and it will probably take an extremely long time to digest.]

[After emerging from retreat, you discover that Patriarch Ziyun has thoroughly comprehended the mysteries of the world and is preparing to transcend the calamity and become a supreme Taoist artifact.]

[In previous simulations, you had already experienced this, so there were no surprises.]

[Then, through communication with Ziyun Patriarch and Chu Hongyu, you learned that twenty-five years had passed.]

You paused for a moment, then sighed, "It's true that there's no such thing as a sixty-year cycle in the mountains." This single retreat took you nearly half a sixty-year cycle.

After nearly half a century, Feixian Land, once shattered by mountains and rivers and shattered by the earth, has regained its prosperity and bustle.

[When you return to Feixian Tower, you directly express your desire to meet the owner, Dongfang Yun, and mention that you have a big deal you'd like to make with her.]

[However, the steward of Feixian Tower informed him that a cave that was suspected to be that of Fairy Qinglan had appeared.]

[Fairy Qinglan is not very powerful among the many Immortal Kings. What makes her famous is that she is a disciple of the Eternal Immortal Emperor.]

You were very surprised, because Fairy Qinglan's cave had not appeared in your previous simulations.

[Plus, the Immortal Slaughter Alliance hasn't made any new moves in nearly half a century.]

[Think for a moment, and you're 70% sure this might be the work of the Immortal Slaughtering Alliance.]

[After you leave Feixian Tower, take out the token given to you by Qingyou Old Demon and contact Qingyou Old Demon for verification.]

The old demon Qingyou didn't answer, only saying that he would ask you to go to the White Crane Restaurant in Yudeng City in Feixian Land in three days.

[You are already 90% certain that Fairy Qinglan's cave is related to the Immortal Slaughter Society.]

[Three days later, you arrived at the White Crane Restaurant and met Anyuan.]

Anyuan takes you into the restaurant's private room, greets you, and then tells you about Fairy Qinglan's cave.

[Just as you thought, Fairy Qinglan's cave was indeed the work of the Immortal Slaughter Society, with the intention of trapping and killing a number of high-ranking members of the Taihong Sect.]

[Then Anyuan explained the reason why the old demon Qingyou had called Jiangchuan here.]

"My master hopes that Senior Blood Hand can go to Fairy Qinglan's cave."

Jiangchuan:? ? ?
No, is it that the old demon Qingyou has become stupid because of the combination of immortals and demons, or do you think that I, Master Jiang, am easy to fool?
Knowing clearly that Fairy Qinglan's cave is fake and that it was done by the Immortal Killing Society to deceive the Taihong Sect, should I go in and get killed?

"Senior, please don't misunderstand me. This cave is fake, but the treasures inside are real."

An Yuan explained, "In order to make Fairy Qinglan's cave look real, the two deputy leaders, including my master and eight other immortals, contributed many treasures."

"It contains not only one-third of the Eternal Immortal Emperor's incomplete scripture, a half-broken immortal sword, a formation diagram left by an Eleventh Realm Heavenly Demon, more than ten magical herbs, and many other treasures, but also a Dao stele left by the Purple and Green Immortal King."

"The reason why Master agreed to this is because he knew that Senior Blood Hand had astonishing attainments in the Way of the Void. He could sneak in unnoticed and steal all the good fortune."

"Even his own people are plotting against him. The old demon Qingyou is indeed worthy of being a demon cultivator!" Jiang Chuan sighed.

　I'll write faster today, and challenge myself to see if I can write more than 10,000 words a day.
