Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 305 Good Things Come in Pairs, Domineering Exercise of Power

"How does Qing'er plan to heal my wounds?"

Yang Yang, like a delicate woman, softly asked Dou Eqing.

Dou Eqing looked down at his master's wife, who rarely showed such vulnerability in his arms, his fingertips brushing through her loose hair, his voice deep and magnetic:
“Since Master’s wife has already guessed, why ask any more questions? The Three Lights Divine Spring of my Ziwei Immortal Mansion is a sacred place for healing. Healing there... will be twice as effective with half the effort.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Yang's pale cheeks flushed instantly. She glared at him with a mixture of reproach and anger in her beautiful eyes, but instead of breaking free from his embrace, she gently rested her head against his firm chest, her voice soft and barely audible:

"You...you wicked disciple, I don't know how you managed to take my clone, and now you're even eyeing my main body. If Kuanhai had even half your...shamelessness back then, perhaps..."

“There is no possibility,” Dou Eqing interrupted her, tightening his grip and stepping into the light of the teleportation array. “Only I, Dou Eqing, and only I can protect you and make you… no longer alone.”

The teleportation array glowed, enveloping the two figures.

Before the spatial fluctuations completely engulfed them, Yang Yang heard him whisper almost in her ear:

"From now on, you will only be Yang Yang, and I... will be your Qing'er."

As soon as they arrived at the Guixu Demon Abyss, Dou Eqing immediately teleported the two of them into the Ziwei Immortal Mansion. When they reappeared, they had fallen into the Sanguang Divine Spring.

As Yang Yang was suddenly immersed in the divine spring and instinctively cried out, Dou Eqing stuffed a ninth-grade healing pill into her open mouth and swallowed a ninth-grade Yin-Yang Resonance Pill himself.

These two ninth-tier precious pills were among the gains from the Forbidden Soul Abyss of Merit.

The Yin-Yang Resonance Pill is more precious than the other ninth-grade healing pill.

This elixir is an extremely precious auxiliary medicine in the path of dual cultivation. It also has the auxiliary effect of healing injuries through dual cultivation. Its name points directly to the fundamental principle of the Great Dao—the interaction of Yin and Yang and the resonance of spiritual energy.

The pill was about the size of a longan, and its entire body had an extremely peculiar semi-transparent texture, as if it were condensed from the purest crystal.

Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the elixir is not a single color, but contains black and white energies, which flow slowly and chase each other like yin and yang fish, yet blend perfectly to form a miniature tai chi pattern, which is extremely mysterious.

The surface of the elixir naturally contains cloud-like patterns and is warm to the touch, yet it exudes a unique medicinal fragrance that is both refreshing and warm. The scent calms the mind, yet subtly stimulates the yin and yang energies within the body.

The most crucial effect of this elixir is not to directly enhance cultivation or provide energy, but rather to build an invisible bridge at the level of soul and magical power after both partners in a dual cultivation process consume it.

It can create a high degree of "resonance" between the two people's aura, magical power fluctuations, and even the frequency of their spiritual consciousness, greatly reducing the barriers and repulsion reactions of energy fusion during dual cultivation, making the exchange and circulation of yin and yang energy as natural and smooth as breathing, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

The process of dual cultivation, especially for those at a high level, involves intense energy impacts, which can easily lead to inner demons or damage to the meridians.

The gentle medicinal power contained in the Yin-Yang Resonance Pill can form a protective layer, stabilizing the heart and mind of both parties and preventing the danger of going astray due to energy loss or the growth of distracting thoughts.

In an efficient dual cultivation cycle, the power of the elixir guides energy not only to act on the meridians, but also to deeply temper the cultivator's yin and yang essence, making the foundation more solid and providing implicit benefits for subsequent breakthroughs in bottlenecks.

In the mysterious state of spiritual resonance, both parties have a certain chance of perceiving each other's understanding of the Great Dao, or entering a deeper state of enlightenment together. This is a rare and precious opportunity.

This elixir, though wondrous, is not a panacea.

It requires basic trust and tacit understanding between the two practitioners. If one has ulterior motives and forces the practice, it will not only be useless, but may also cause backlash due to the intensified conflict of energy.

In addition, the effects of the elixir are limited in duration, and the best results can be achieved by practicing during the peak of its potency.

In conclusion, the Yin-Yang Resonance Pill is a top-grade catalyst in the path of dual cultivation. It does not replace the cultivation techniques and emotional exchange of dual cultivation itself, but it can optimize this process to a near-perfect state, seeking efficiency while maintaining safety, and finding the Great Dao in resonance. It is an auxiliary treasure that countless Daoist couples dream of.

Dou Eqing used this pill not only to assist Yang Yang in healing during their dual cultivation, but also to completely win her heart with the Yin-Yang Resonance Pill.

As Yang Yang swallowed the ninth-grade healing pill and focused on refining it, he kissed her, simultaneously transmitting his thoughts telepathically:

"With this pill in my mouth, your internal injuries can be repaired even faster."

Yang Yang shut up to prevent him from succeeding, and used her divine sense to ask him in return:

Why do this?

"This is a Yin-Yang Resonance Pill that requires a special method to absorb. You cannot refine it normally by yourself; you and I need to work together..."

As Dou Eqing explained, he grabbed the other person, making her instinctively open her mouth.

His kiss made Yang Yang accept him half-heartedly.

……

This dual cultivation in the divine spring, under the accelerated time of the Purple Star Immortal Mansion, took nine thousand years to complete in the blink of an eye.

And less than a hundred years have passed in the outside world.

With the healing power of two ninth-grade pills and the blessing of dual cultivation, Yang Yang not only recovered from all her injuries, but her cultivation level also subtly advanced further.

At her level, even the slightest progress is extremely rare.

This goes a step further, bringing his combat power infinitely close to that of a being who has reached the peak of the Tribulation Realm and become a king—the Tribulation King.

Dou Eqing was the one who reaped the greatest benefits.

For some unknown reason, Yang Yang, like her clone, possessed an abundance of primordial yin comparable to a pure yin body.

The two cultivated together for nine thousand years, and the eight yangs of his Nine Yang Dao Body took shape.

No sooner had they emerged from seclusion than Shui Yunxian, the contemporary fairy maiden of the Judgment Hall, came knocking on their door.

Upon hearing that the current celestial maiden of the Judgment Hall had come to her door, Yang Yang couldn't help but scrutinize Dou Eqing.

She naturally had no connection with Shui Yunxian; the other party was most likely coming after Dou Eqing.

Although we have never met, I know Shui Yunxian, the current fairy of the Judgment Hall, very well.

Yang Yang's deepest impression of Shui Yunxian was her Daoist body.

In the cultivation world, the furnace physique is not uncommon, but those who can be called "peerless" are extremely rare.

The Immortal Jade Cauldron Body possessed by Shui Yunxian, the contemporary fairy maiden of the Judgment Hall, is such a legendary physique. Its miraculous effects and potential are considered to be comparable to the "Immortal Yin Sacred Body" recorded in ancient books, which can only be born in the Upper Immortal Realm.

Shui Yunxian herself is the most direct embodiment of this constitution.

She exuded a clear and gentle Daoist aura, as if she embodied the most yin and gentle spirit in the world.

Her skin was radiant and translucent, with a subtle inner glow, which was not due to deliberate exertion, but rather a natural manifestation of her constitution.

Her aura is incredibly pure, without the slightest impurity. When you are near her, even without practicing any techniques, you can calm your mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and even become more sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This charm transcends mere physical beauty; it is a harmony and attraction that reaches the very essence of the Tao.

The essence of the Immortal Jade Cauldron Body is pure and flawless, embodying ultimate yin.

The Immortal Jade Cauldron Body contains the most primordial and purest innate Yin essence, its purity far exceeding that of ordinary extreme Yin constitutions or various furnace cauldron constitutions.

This Yin essence is an invaluable treasure for cultivators who practice Yang-based techniques or those that require the balance of Yin and Yang.

It can not only greatly increase the chances of breaking through from the mortal realm to the immortal realm, but also help to temper magic power, making the immortal essence in the body of a rogue immortal infinitely close to that of a true immortal.

In terms of solidifying one's foundation, there is even a slight possibility of comprehending the profound principles of Yin and Yang.

Immortal Jade Cauldron Body cultivators possess innate Daoist charm, aiding in their comprehension of the Dao:

The greatest benefit of dual cultivation with someone of this constitution (or receiving their primordial yin energy) is not only the increase in energy, but also the ability to briefly share their "closest" state.

Because of her constitution, Shui Yunxian is naturally in harmony with the Great Dao. By merging with it, she has the opportunity to immerse herself in its pure Daoist essence, greatly enhancing her efficiency in comprehending the Dao and breaking through her long-standing cultivation bottleneck.

This kind of benefit to the "Tao" is something that ordinary furnaces and cauldrons simply cannot achieve.

The primordial yin of the Immortal Jade Cauldron Body is not a one-time consumable, but rather a source of power that can be continuously nourished and strengthened as the host's cultivation level increases.

This means that its value increases as the Water Lily grows.

It is rumored that if one can obtain its willing assistance, the effect will be multiplied, and the loss to the host will be minimal, making it almost a sustainable and mutually beneficial cultivation aid.

Because of her extraordinary physique, Shui Yunxian held a superior position in the Judgment Hall and became Li Xiaochun's exclusive possession.

Her very existence is a symbol of the Tribunal's important strategic resources and profound heritage.

However, possessing such a treasure is a crime, and this kind of physique will inevitably attract countless greedy and covetous eyes. If it weren't for the behemoth that is the Hall of Judgment, it would probably have already caused a bloodbath.

This also shaped her seemingly approachable yet actually aloof, meticulous, and highly skilled personality and strength—she must be strong enough to protect this divinely bestowed "opportunity" of hers, rather than becoming someone else's vessel.

In conclusion, Shui Yunxian's Immortal Jade Cauldron Body is a strategic-level special physique. Its value lies not only in its ability to instantly boost cultivation, but also in its long-term benefits to the understanding of the Great Dao.

It is both the greatest gift from heaven and the center of a vortex of fate.

Her ability to maintain her position as a celestial maiden proves that she is not merely relying on her physical constitution; her character and strength are the foundation of her success.

If it weren't for Dou Eqing's Nine Yang Dao Body, Yang Yang really couldn't understand why Shui Yunxian would come to the Sea Demon Sect.

Dou Eqing shared similar ideas with Yang Yang, but he had his own plans.

She made many promises to get Yang Yang to agree to let him meet with Shui Yunxian alone.

After special arrangements, when Shui Yunxian entered the Guixu Demon Abyss through the ancient teleportation array, she was unexpectedly teleported to Dou Eqing's Ziwei Immortal Mansion.

The space distorted slightly, and before the hazy teleportation aura had completely dissipated, Shui Yunxian already sensed something was wrong.

This was not the ominous scene of the Guixu Demon Abyss that I had imagined, but rather... a garden with a fairy-like atmosphere and an elegant layout.
Her heart skipped a beat, her gaze sharpened instantly, and her consciousness spread out like a tide, only to be as if she had crashed into a bottomless sea of ​​clouds, gently yet absolutely dissolved and swallowed up.

This place is owned.

Moreover, its rules are quite different from those of the outside world.

Dou Eqing hid in the shadows, a confident smile curving his lips.

From the moment she sensed that the ancient teleportation array had been accidentally activated, to the moment she confirmed that the visitor was none other than Shui Yunxian, the fairy maiden of the Judgment Hall, a long-brewing idea finally took shape.

Within this Purple Star Immortal Abode, he is the master who controls everything. Not to mention that Water Rhyme Fairy is new to this place, even if she is in perfect condition, she will not be able to escape his control.

Moreover, his current cultivation level is already infinitely close to that of the legendary King of Tribulation Transcending Peak.

Shui Yunxian's vigilance lasted only a moment before her gaze was firmly drawn to a strange flower not far away.

It was a Jade Buddha Peony, its petals as smooth and lustrous as mutton fat jade, yet faintly revealing a seven-colored glow. At the heart of the flower, a small, seated Buddha phantom naturally condensed, radiating a pure and peaceful Daoist charm. Its grade was already close to that of a celestial being!

Even with her vast knowledge and experience, she couldn't help but be momentarily captivated by such a wondrous object, her mind involuntarily drawn to its profound and mysterious charm.

In the instant her mind relaxed slightly, the surrounding space seemed to ripple silently like water.

A figure appeared out of thin air like a ghost, close to her back.

The next instant, a pair of strong arms naturally encircled her slender waist, and warm breath brushed against her sensitive ear. The action was as intimate as that of a beloved Daoist partner, yet it carried an irresistible domineering force.

"Since the fairy maiden has admired the flowers of my fairy abode, how about... she also takes a look at the master of this place?"

Dou Eqing's deep voice rang out, carrying a hint of amusement and absolute control, so clear in the silent immortal abode that it sent shivers down one's spine.

Shui Yunxian's delicate body tensed abruptly, only to find that her aura had been completely locked, like a butterfly trapped in invisible amber, unable to move even her fingertips. Suddenly, she remembered that the purpose of her trip was to borrow Dou Eqing's Nine Yang Dao Body to repair her Immortal Yin Sacred Body, and her tense nerves immediately relaxed.

Since Dou Eqing wants to make a move on her, then she can save herself a lot of scheming. Why not just go with the flow?
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her previously tense body suddenly softened. Instead of struggling, she leaned back into his firm embrace, a captivating smile playing on her lips, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness and pride.
"This fairy maiden has come here to appraise your husband, but you... seem rather impatient."

These words caused a barely perceptible hint of surprise to flash across Dou Eqing's deep eyes.

He sensed that she wasn't just putting on a brave face, but had genuinely let her guard down, even... with an almost predatory urgency, as if she were scrutinizing her prey.
Shui Yunxian tilted her head slightly, her breath sweet and fragrant, the warm air brushing against Dou Eqing's chin:

"I have long heard that the Nine Yang Dao Body is the source of the ultimate Yang in the world, and it is a perfect match for my Immortal Yin Sacred Body."

Today, I have mistakenly entered your celestial abode; it seems to be a predestined opportunity, destined to bring us both great fortune.

Her fingertips had unknowingly touched his arm that was wrapped around her waist. It seemed ambiguous, but in fact she was carefully sensing the surging pure yang energy within him. She was secretly amazed that the power contained within this person was indeed well-deserved.

Dou Eqing was no ordinary person; he instantly understood her scheme, which suited him perfectly.

He chuckled softly, tightening his grip on her, pressing them even closer together, his burning breath almost melting her.

"Oh? So it is the fairy maiden who is interested. I, Dou, have been presumptuous. But I wonder, how does the fairy maiden intend to 'appraise' her?"

"Repair my Immortal Yin Body, and the Hall of Judgment will become your backer? Perhaps..."

Shui Yunxian paused for a moment before continuing:
"Perhaps helping you unify the demonic path is not out of the question."

Her frankness in stating her naked purpose made her appear upright and added to her irresistible charm.

Dou Eqing gazed at the thorny fairy flower in his arms, weighing his options in his mind.

Although she possesses the constitution of a furnace cauldron, her identity is special and her cultivation is profound; she is by no means someone who can be easily manipulated.

After all, she has the protection of an immortal, so the Demon Slave Seal might not be so easy to subdue her.

However, if one can seize this opportunity, not only can one advance one's cultivation level, but one might also be able to establish some subtle connection with this fairy maiden of the Judgment Hall...

"trade?"

Dou Eqing's lips curled into a wicked smile as he leaned down and whispered in her ear, his voice filled with seduction and control, "Very well, then it will be as you wish, Fairy Consort. However, within this Purple Star Immortal Abode, the rules of this transaction must be set by me."

Before he finished speaking, he took Shui Yunxian's arm and stepped out. The surrounding scenery changed instantly, and they were moved from in front of the flowers to a separate space in the heart of the Jade Buddha Peony.

When the Jade Buddha Peony flower grows to the late stage of the ninth level, a flower core space will be created inside.

This place is like a tiny paradise, filled with spiritual energy and imbued with the essence of Yin and Yang.

Before them lay a bed of white jade, with a babbling spring, where the rich yin and yang energies naturally converged.

"How is this place? Is it worthy of a fairy maiden's status?"

Dou Eqing released her, stood with his hands behind his back, exuding a profound and imposing aura, as if he were already the master of this place.

Shui Yunxian looked around and felt the great benefit this place brought to the harmony of Yin and Yang, and all her last doubts disappeared.

She smiled radiantly, her beauty unparalleled: "My lord is indeed well-prepared. Then... let's begin our 'deal.'"

Inside the secret chamber, the atmosphere suddenly became both alluring and dangerous. A dual cultivation involving power, desire, and scheming was about to unfold in this secluded immortal abode.

Shui Yunxian was well-prepared for this trip, and specially prepared many ninth-grade Yang-tonifying pills for Dou Eqing, as well as top-grade ninth-grade pills to assist in dual cultivation.

This dual cultivation journey, with its thorough preparations and the blessing of the Jade Buddha and peony flowers, was truly unique.

As the tide of spirit and desire surged to its peak, a trace of cold clarity remained deep within Dou Eqing's consciousness.

With a slight thought, the strange and domineering Demon Slave Seal, like an invisible tentacle, quietly probed towards the core of Shui Yunxian's soul.

He had anticipated fierce resistance from the soul-controlling restriction left by Li Xiaochun, and was even prepared for a prolonged erosion.

However, the moment the Demon Slave Seal's power touched the restrictive light membrane, a sudden change occurred—

The entire Ziwei Immortal Mansion seemed to be moved by an invisible hand. Above the dome, a beam of pure immortal light containing supreme and profound laws suddenly descended, precisely enveloping Shuiyun Xian's brow.

The celestial light was gentle yet powerful, carrying an undeniable purifying force. The restrictions that Li Xiaochun had painstakingly set up were like ice and snow meeting the spring sun before this celestial light, failing to even stir a ripple before quietly melting, disintegrating, and turning into nothingness.

"Click..."

A soft sound, perceptible only to the soul and symbolizing the breaking of shackles, echoed clearly in Shuiyun Xian's sea of ​​consciousness.

Shui Yunxian, who was immersed in complex emotions, suddenly stiffened, followed by an unprecedented sense of relief, as if she had unloaded the burden of countless ages.

It was a liberation that burst forth from the depths of her soul, as if an invisible cage that had been imprisoning her true self had suddenly burst open at that moment.

For a long time, even though she held a high position, the ever-present feeling of being controlled had always been the deepest shadow in her heart, but now it had vanished.

This immense joy and shock of suddenly feeling light in body and mind even temporarily overwhelmed the body's instinctive reactions.

Her hazy, beautiful eyes instantly regained their clarity, and she stared fixedly at Dou Eqing, who was so close to her, her eyes filled with unbelievable shock and an indescribable gratitude.

The next second, she was no longer passively enduring, but actively stretched out her arms and tightly wrapped them around Dou Eqing's neck, pressing a passionate and resolute kiss deeply onto his lips.

This kiss was filled with catharsis, gratitude, and a newfound excitement.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Shui Yunxian was slightly out of breath, her cheeks flushed, but her eyes, which had been filled with no trace of gloom, were now fixed on Dou Eqing. Her voice trembled slightly, but it was more sincere than ever before:
"Thank you, Dou Lang... I never expected that you could actually break the restriction that Li Xiaochun placed on me..."

This gratitude stems from the breaking of the shackles on the soul, which is far more profound than any physical conquest.

Unbeknownst to her, Dou Eqing had silently planted an even more inescapable demonic slave mark in her soul.

Unbeknownst to them, the balance of power in their relationship had subtly shifted.

Within the Ziwei Immortal Abode, time accelerates, flowing at a speed far exceeding that of the outside world.

Dou Eqing activated the profound [Yang-Nourishing Yin Scripture], transforming his own cultivation into incomparably pure Yang energy. At the same time, he drew upon the vast innate spiritual energy within the Immortal Abode, turning it into sweet rain that nourished all things, meticulously nurturing and repairing the essence of Shuiyun Immortal, which was comparable to the Immortal Yin Saint Body.

What seems like a blink of an eye to the outside world has been a century within the mansion.

When the last trace of the original hidden injury was completely healed, Shui Yunxian felt completely comfortable. Her Immortal Yin Sacred Body radiated an unprecedented lustrous glow, and her communication with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth became clearer and more acute.

This transformative feeling made her realize the immense effort and even self-sacrifice that Dou Eqing had expended.

This unexpected kindness, like a warm current, deeply touched her already softened heart once again.

Before she could recover from the joy and gratitude of the restoration, Dou Eqing gazed into her eyes and made a promise in an almost solemn tone:

"Once this matter is resolved, I will surely help you ascend to the path of immortality and ascend to heaven."

The oath of the Dao is fundamental to a cultivator's Dao heart and is by no means a trivial matter.

Upon hearing this promise, Shuiyunxian was deeply shaken, and her last trace of doubt vanished.

The spiritual and physical fusion brought about by dual cultivation, the subtle influence of the Demon Slave Mark, and the series of methods to repair her sacred body and promise her a path to immortality have completely broken through her defenses.

At this moment, she had completely given herself to Dou Eqing, achieving a state of absolute loyalty, a kind of "shared souls," and was willing to give everything for him.

Seeing that the time was right, Dou Eqing finally began to lay out his true scheme.

After another three-thousand-year-long dual cultivation session, Dou Eqing embraced Shui Yunxian, his fingertips casually entwining a strand of her hair, but his voice carried an undeniable air of planning.

“Yunxian,” he called softly, his gaze as deep as the starry sea, “Now that the shackles have been removed, this Hall of Judgment… should also change its way of life.”

He slowly revealed his scheme, each word like a pebble thrown into a still lake, creating ripples in Shuiyunxian's heart.

"The Hall of Judgment may seem like an impenetrable fortress, but it is actually all bark and no bite. Apart from Li Xiaochun and his three male disciples, who are the pillars of the hall, how many of the so-called elites in the core are nothing more than vessels kept by the higher-ups, serving men with their beauty and nourishing them with their souls? How are they any different from prisoners?"

His tone carried a hint of cold sarcasm.

"I want you to be my eyes and hands in the temple."

Dou Eqing lifted Shui Yunxian's chin, forcing her to look directly at the burning ambition in his eyes. "Use your identity and your influence to secretly identify and contact women who are in similar situations to you, who are resentful but also exceptionally talented. What Li Xiaochun can give you, I, Dou Eqing, can give you double; the dignity and freedom that he cannot give, I can also grant."

"What we want is not subversion, but... a silent replacement."

His voice was lowered, like the whisper of a demon, “Let those who were once considered playthings become the ones who truly wield power, and become my people, Dou Eqing’s people.”

When the time is right, the three pillars may be retained if they are pragmatic; otherwise…

Dou Eqing traced a cold arc with his fingertips, his unfinished words filled with chilling killing intent.

"At that time, the Hall of Judgment will still be the same Hall of Judgment, except that its true master will be surnamed Dou."

He smiled slightly, a smile that revealed absolute confidence and control. "And you, Shui Yunxian, will be an irreplaceable fairy maiden in the new order, one of the true arbiters, not anyone's vassal."

This idea is bold and audacious, taking the deep-seated problems of the Judgment Hall as a breakthrough point and turning its most secretive "resources" into the most lethal blade.

Shui Yunxian listened, initially shocked, then lost in thought, and finally, a strange light bloomed in her eyes.

After breaking free from the soul-controlling restriction, a new power is awakening within her. The blueprint drawn by Dou Eqing, though perilous, points her to an unprecedented path where she can take control of her own destiny.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Shui Yunxian's eyes as she softly asked the most crucial question:
"But Li Xiaochun is already an immortal. If you become his enemy, how will you deal with it?"

Dou Eqing had considered this issue long ago.

Therefore, there was no sign of panic on his face; instead, he wore a calm smile that showed complete control.

He gently squeezed Shui Yunxian's soft hand, calmly revealing his threefold confidence:
"First, there is this Purple Star Immortal Abode."

His gaze swept over the swirling, ethereal mist surrounding them. “This abode is more wondrous than you can imagine. Even though Li Xiaochun has ascended to immortality, as long as you are within this abode, he cannot forcibly break in and take you away. This place is absolutely safe, enough to protect you and the sisters you will contact in the future.”

"Secondly, you should know that the Immeasurable Merit Bead is in my hands."

A faint, yet profoundly mysterious, golden halo appeared at Dou Eqing's fingertips—the very aura of the Boundless Merit Pearl.

"I will use the power of this pearl to begin condensing my golden body of merit. Once this body is formed, it will be protected by the Heavenly Dao. Even if he is an immortal, if he tries to forcibly kill someone who has accumulated great merit, he will suffer a backlash from the Heavenly Dao. The price he pays will be so heavy that any immortal will have to think twice and dare not act rashly."

“As for the third,” his tone turned serious, carrying the confidence of a strategist, “I don’t necessarily need to fight him to the death. Instead, I can talk to him. If I can unify the demonic path, and then integrate the entire Kunlun Realm, allowing the demonic path to dominate the Immortal Court of this realm…”

This immense power and resources would be of tremendous benefit to his cultivation and development in the Immortal Realm. This was a calculated move he couldn't refuse.

He looked at Shui Yunxian, his eyes sharp and alluring:
"So there's no need to worry. Just go for it. Even if there's a gap between the mortal and the immortal realms ahead, I have my own ladders to climb and fortifications to defend. Besides, what we give him may be far more than what he loses."

These words were like a shot in the arm for Shui Yunxian, turning her vague fear into a solid stepping stone.

Dou Eqing not only considered defense and deterrence, but also planned a higher-level exchange of interests. His vision and shrewdness completely reassured her and strengthened her resolve to follow him.

In fact, he still had the "accumulated killing weapon" of "divine soul demon body" that he had not told Shui Yunxian in detail.
