Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 309 Devouring Tribulation Divine Body, Ten Thousand Cultivators Simultaneously Undergo Tribulation
Just as Dou Eqing's current incarnation decided to defy the heavens and charged toward the core of the Triple Immortal Tribulation with his divine soul and demonic body, the Dou family matriarch, who had been observing the situation quietly, finally made her move after a glint of light in her eyes!

She stopped trying to coerce them with words and instead took more direct actions that were more in line with the Dou family's long-standing strategic approach.

Moreover, the immeasurable merit pearl that she had forcibly taken away was no longer under her control and flew towards Dou Eqing's true form on its own.

Previously, Madam Dou had only used the Immeasurable Merit Pearl to scare Dou Eqing.

The Immeasurable Merit Pearl is indeed the key to the Dou family's eternal scheme, but it did not actually originate from the Dou family.

Its chosen master cannot be forcibly taken away even by Dou Zhumu, who is a celestial being.

The reason why Madam Dou summoned the Boundless Merit Pearl from Dou Eqing's soul sea was partly because her cultivation as a human immortal allowed her to easily delve into the soul sea of ​​cultivators to retrieve items.
In addition, because she was Dou Eqing's contracted Daoist partner in his previous life, the Immeasurable Merit Pearl has a potential connection with her.

With a flick of her sleeve, Madam Dou conjured a lifelike, closed-eyed body out of thin air.

This physical body appears no different from that of an ordinary person, but upon closer inspection, there are hidden Dao runes flowing between the skin textures, and the whole body exudes a quasi-immortal Dao charm that has been accumulated over countless ages and is perfectly harmonious and flawless—it is the quasi-immortal physical body of Dou Eqing's predecessor that has been sealed and nurtured for countless years!

"The time has come; the soul returns to its original form!"

With a low shout, Madam Dou formed a hand seal, and the quasi-immortal body suddenly opened its eyes, which were filled with chaotic lightning!
It was like a pre-programmed, precise magical artifact. Without any command from Dou Eqing's current self, it spontaneously generated a powerful suction force, directly targeting the divine soul demon body that was rushing towards the lightning tribulation!

At this moment, Dou Eqing's true consciousness was still halfway to the tribulation, and was still a little distance from the Heavenly Demon Body.

Inside the Heavenly Demon Body, the collective consciousness of many female cultivators, including Luo Damei and Yang Yang, was almost powerless to resist this targeted and powerful suction force originating from the same source!
In particular, the part of Dou Eqing's soul that is dominant in this life is firmly locked down.

"Om-!"

The enormous divine soul and demonic body were forcibly absorbed and devoured by that quasi-immortal body, like a whale sucking in water!
The countless beams of light converged and all entered that seemingly frail body, which in fact contained a universe within it.

In an instant, the aura of the quasi-immortal's physical body began to rise and recover at a terrifying speed. Those chaotic thunder eyes became clear and sharp, and Dou Eqing's will (mainly dominated by his previous life, mixed with memories and emotions from this life) rapidly condensed within them!
Even more terrifying is that this physical body began to instinctively cope with the surrounding violent celestial tribulations.

It doesn't use its internal energy to resist or dodge heavenly lightning like ordinary people do; instead, its pores and acupoints naturally open, generating a strange, devouring power.

The lightning bolts that struck down were silently absorbed into its body, not only failing to cause harm but also acting like nutrients, tempering every inch of its flesh and making it exude an increasingly terrifying pressure!

Swallow the divine body!

This is what makes this original body so extraordinary!

It is a unique physique cultivated by the Dou family using endless resources and a certain ancient forbidden secret method. It absorbs heavenly tribulations as its resources and becomes stronger with each tribulation!

After the celestial body merged with the divine soul of the Heavenly Demon, Dou Eqing's true form had to change its strategy. The true form forcibly initiated a tribulation in an attempt to create a celestial body.

As a result, four layers of celestial tribulations immediately appeared on the Celestial Tribulation Mountain.

However, the "nourishment" from the current fourfold immortal tribulation is not enough to make this Tribulation Devouring Divine Body completely perfect and awaken its full potential.

Dou's wife was clearly prepared.

She no longer looked at "Dou Eqing," who was merging with her physical body, but instead faced the entire Kunlun Realm, using an unparalleled divine power to transmit an incomparably clear divine thought throughout the four seas and eight wastelands, and the entire Kunlun Realm:

"I am the matriarch of the Dou family! Today, the God of Tribulation Devouring has appeared in the world and opened a sacred place for tribulation crossing at the Immortal Tribulation Mountain!"

"All those who go to the Immortal Tribulation Mountain to undergo tribulation at this moment, regardless of their cultivation level or the type of tribulation they are undergoing, will be protected by a divine body. Ninety-nine percent of the heavenly tribulation's power will be absorbed by the divine body, meaning you will almost never have to endure the torment of the lightning tribulation. Your success rate in breaking through to a higher realm is nearly one hundred percent! Don't miss this opportunity!"

This announcement was like pouring a ladle of cold water into a boiling oil pan, instantly igniting an unprecedented frenzy throughout the entire cultivation world!
Countless cultivators, whether righteous, demonic, or rogue, who were stuck at their bottlenecks and dared not break through out of fear of the heavenly tribulation, almost lost their minds after hearing this almost miraculous announcement!

To break through to a higher realm without fear of heavenly tribulation—what an incredible stroke of luck!

In an instant, countless streaks of light, like rivers flowing into the sea, rushed from every corner of the Kunlun Realm toward the Immortal Tribulation Divine Mountain, which had long since turned into a desolate wasteland!
Golden Core Tribulation, Nascent Soul Tribulation, Deity Transformation Tribulation, Void Refining Tribulation, Body Integration Tribulation, Mahayana Tribulation, Tribulation Crossing Realm Thunder Tribulation...

Even terrifying heavenly tribulations triggered by some old monsters in the Tribulation Transcending Realm who are nearing the end of their lifespan and preparing to fight to the death...

All sorts of tribulation clouds gathered wildly within a radius of tens of thousands of miles around the Immortal Tribulation Divine Mountain at an unprecedented density!

The sky, which was originally just a confrontation between three immortal tribulations, was instantly covered by dense, colorful tribulation clouds of varying power!

Thunder roared throughout the universe, and lightning bolts danced wildly, weaving a net of destruction across the heavens! It was nothing short of an apocalyptic scene of utter annihilation!
When Madam Dou proudly confirmed her claim, Taotie Jiamo immediately triggered his own celestial tribulation. Gu Renzhai also racked his brains, using a secret method to summon his own celestial tribulation, and took the opportunity to forcibly become an immortal.

And at that very moment, as this calamity descended and the laws of heaven and earth descended into utter chaos—

The physical body of "Dou Eqing," which had already initially merged with the divine soul and the demonic body and whose eyes were blazing with lightning, finally released all its suppression!
"swallow!"

A low roar, seemingly from the ancient wilderness, came from "his" mouth.

The true power of the Devouring Divine Body is unleashed in full force!

A massive, invisible vortex, seemingly capable of swallowing the heavens, suddenly formed around this physical body!

It's no longer about secretly taking what you need, but about a domineering and unparalleled gluttony!
The terrifying energy of the triple immortal tribulation, as well as the tribulation lightning of thousands upon thousands of different sizes that gathered from all directions, were like encountering the Guixu Black Hole. They were frantically pulled, torn apart, and devoured, surging into the Tribulation Devouring Divine Body, which seemed to be a bottomless pit!
At this moment, the aura of "Dou Eqing" began to surge wildly beyond imagination!
His physical body was being tempered by endless lightning tribulations, transforming into a true immortal body. His cultivation launched its final and most violent assault towards the legendary realm of true immortality!
It feeds on countless eons and uses the thunder and punishment of heaven and earth for its own purposes!

The true scheme of the Dou family's ancient plan was finally revealed at this moment, in a way that shocked the entire cultivation world!
At this moment, the fates of Li Chunlong, Su Muwan, and all those caught up in this catastrophe seemed insignificant, becoming mere background figures in this earth-shattering transformation.

This apocalyptic scene of "all calamities descending together, feeding on calamities" finally touched the ultimate bottom line for maintaining order in the Kunlun Realm—the Celestial Court.

Just as the Devouring Tribulation Divine Body was recklessly devouring countless lightning tribulations, its aura approaching the realm of True Immortal, the void above the Immortal Tribulation Divine Mountain was suddenly torn apart by an unparalleled power!
Auspicious clouds paved the way, celestial music filled the air, and several figures exuding magnificent divine power, making one's soul tremble, stepped out.

The leading celestial official held a golden decree, his voice like thunder, resounding throughout the universe:
"The Dou Clan of the Lower Realm! You have recklessly stirred up countless eons, disrupted the order of Heaven, and violated the Heavenly Laws! Cease your rebellious actions immediately and return with us to the Celestial Court to be judged!"

The Celestial Court has finally intervened!
Moreover, the arrival of several True Immortal Realm officials indicates that this matter has already alarmed the higher-ups of the Celestial Court.

However, faced with the pressure from the Celestial Court, the matriarch of the Dou family simply raised her head calmly, without the slightest hint of panic on her face.

She didn't even say a word, she just waved her hand gently.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Four terrifying auras, no weaker than those of the envoys from the Celestial Court, and even more refined and enduring, soared into the sky from the Dou family's camp!

Four cultivators dressed in ancient attire, their eyes as weathered as stars, stepped forward, confronting the celestial officials of the Celestial Court from afar.

They were surrounded by celestial light and laws, clearly four powerful beings at the True Immortal Realm!
"The Dou family, Dou Xuan."

"The Dou family, Dou Huang."

"The Dou family, Dou Yu."

"The Dou family, Dou Zhou."

The four simply announced their names, their voices calm, yet carrying an unparalleled confidence stemming from ancient traditions.

These four true immortals are clearly one of the real reasons why the Dou family dared to take such a heaven-defying act!

The celestial officials of the Celestial Court changed their expressions drastically. They had clearly not expected that a lower-level family could produce four True Immortals at once!
This foundation is already comparable to some powerful factions in the Celestial Court!
"What a disgrace to the Dou family! How dare they defy the Celestial Court!"

The celestial official roared angrily, but his confidence had diminished.

He looked around and realized something was wrong. The Dou family had not only been prepared, but had also anticipated the Celestial Court's actions and made meticulous arrangements against it.

Four true immortals were enough to completely capture their enforcement team.

This negotiation, though seemingly brief, actually dragged on for a very long time.

Finally, the Celestial Court confronted the Dou family head-on, broke through the Dou family's blockade, and sent a message back to the Celestial Court.

Just as tensions were running high and the clash of True Immortal-level pressures was causing space to begin to collapse, the void trembled once more, and an even more vast and majestic aura descended!
A blurry phantom of a throne appeared on it. Although it was not fully solidified, the terrifying pressure that surpassed that of a true immortal made all the true immortals present feel their hearts tremble!

Immortal King!

The Celestial Court actually sent a projection of a Celestial King-level being to descend!
Clearly, the Dou family's actions have made the Celestial Court feel truly threatened, prompting them to resort to higher-level forces.

The situation instantly became extremely precarious!
However, the matriarch of the Dou family remained calm.

This immortal king's surname is Hao, and he has a connection with the Dou family.

Madam Dou nodded slightly towards the illusory throne, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"His Majesty the Celestial King's presence is a great honor for the Dou family. However, Prince Hao, please look—"

She pointed to the center of the Immortal Tribulation Divine Mountain below, which had already transformed into a massive vortex of lightning.

The Devouring Calamity Divine Body has absorbed a massive amount of calamity power, and its momentum has been formed. Like a supernova about to explode, its transformation process is irreversible. Forcibly interrupting it will inevitably lead to a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, with unimaginable consequences.

"The momentum of the calamity has already been established. Forcibly intervening at this moment would likely cause chaos in the Heavenly Dao, something the Celestial Court would not desire. Moreover,"

Madam Dou then changed the subject, her tone carrying a deeper meaning, "Although our Dou family's actions may seem to defy the heavens, they are not without their own way of 'sharing' the calamities of the Celestial Court and purifying the malevolent energy of this realm."

After the deed is done, the Dou family is willing to share part of the profound secrets of the 'Devouring Calamity' technique with the Celestial Court, and promises that any immortals achieved by the Dou family will uphold the fundamental order of the Celestial Court and jointly resist enemies from beyond the realm.

Use both soft and hard tactics!

On the one hand, it points out the disastrous consequences of forcibly stopping it; on the other hand, it offers the bait of cooperation and implies that the Dou family does not intend to subvert the order, but can instead become an ally of the Celestial Court.

The phantom of the throne remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Below, the scene of annihilation growing ever more magnificent, the aura of the Devouring Divine Body drawing ever closer to the critical point. If the Celestial Court were to act now, even if it could suppress the Dou family, it would inevitably suffer heavy losses and trigger unpredictable upheavals in the Heavenly Dao.

Finally, a soft, enigmatic hum came from the phantom of the throne, and the immense pressure receded like a tide.

"The Dou family...you'd better watch yourselves!"

Leaving behind these words that seemed to be both a warning and an agreement, the Immortal King's projection and the figures of several celestial officials slowly dissipated into the void.

The Celestial Court chose to remain on the sidelines for the time being.

The corner of the Dou family matriarch's mouth curved into a barely perceptible smile.

She knew that the Celestial Court was not retreating, but waiting, waiting for the final outcome of the Devouring Divine Body.

If successful, the Celestial Court might actually consider cooperation; if unsuccessful, the Celestial Court's wrath will descend without reservation.

However, the crisis has been temporarily averted.

The Devouring Divine Body has obtained the most crucial and undisturbed opportunity for transformation!
All eyes were once again focused on the center of the thunderous vortex that was devouring all calamities, awaiting the final outcome.

The fates of Li Chunlong and Su Muwan, as well as the entire landscape of the Kunlun Realm, will be completely rewritten at that moment.

As the Devouring Divine Body frantically devoured countless lightning tribulations like a bottomless abyss, an unprecedented spectacle appeared around the Immortal Tribulation Divine Mountain:

Those cultivators who rushed here upon hearing the news, hoping to seize the opportunity of this "sacred place for tribulation," had most of the power of their respective heavenly tribulations, whether it was the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation or the Mahayana Heavenly Punishment, forcibly absorbed by the Tribulation Devouring Divine Body.

What was originally an extremely dangerous ordeal turned into an easy and effortless process, almost like going through the motions.

Cultivators often only need to endure a trace of the aftershocks of the Heavenly Tribulation to temper their bodies, and they can successfully complete the breakthrough in a very short time (less than one-tenth of the normal tribulation time)!
This resulted in a large number of experts successfully breaking through to higher realms emerging within Dou Eqing's forces in a very short period of time.

More importantly, it takes advantage of this "eternal offering" and the restraint of the main immortal tribulation power by the Devouring Tribulation Divine Body.

Gu Renzhai and Taotie Jiamo, who were originally trying to break through to the Immortal Realm, actually survived their respective relatively "milder" Immortal Tribulations and successfully entered the True Immortal Realm!

In an instant, Dou Eqing suddenly had two newly promoted Immortal Realm warriors in his hands!
However, just as Gu Renzhai and Taotie Jiamo were still immersed in the ecstasy and pride of ascending to immortality in one step, feeling that they had transcended the mortal world and could live as long as heaven and earth, Dou Eqing's icy voice, like the black ice of the heavens, pierced through the roar of the tribulation lightning and clearly rang in their souls:

"Gu Renzhai and Taotie Jiamo, obey my command!"

The two newly promoted True Immortals were slightly taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Dou Eqing's true consciousness, which was still in the center of the Immortal Tribulation and had a subtle connection with the Devouring Tribulation Divine Body (its predecessor).

While Dou Eqing was distracted in resisting the baptism of his own immortal tribulation, he issued an unquestionable order:
"Now that you have become immortals, your first priority is to use overwhelming force to completely unify the demonic path!"
Then, immediately lead the integrated demonic forces into the battlefield where the extraterrestrial demons are invading, sparing no expense to crush them back to their homeland!

Upon hearing this order, the arrogance that had just appeared on the faces of Gu Renzhai and Taotie Jiamo instantly froze, replaced by astonishment and a hint of barely perceptible anger.

Especially Gu Renzhai, who felt that he had become a true immortal and was free to roam the world, how could he obey the orders of someone who had not yet fully succeeded in transcending the tribulation?

Go do that arduous task of unifying the demonic path and conquering beyond the realms.
“Dou Eqing,” Gu Renzhai said, his tone carrying a hint of aloofness and arrogance that distinguished him from the mortals, “we have already been ranked among the immortals, and our past karma has been settled.”

The conflicts between demonic forces and wars beyond the realms are merely mundane affairs of the lower realms; why should we meddle? The Celestial Court has its own laws…”

Although Taotie Jiamo did not speak, its fierce eyes flashed with disdain. After becoming an immortal, it craved to devour higher-level energy, rather than go back to the battlefield to fight.

Dou Eqing seemed to have anticipated their reaction. He was not angry, but a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Immortal status? To settle karma?"

He scoffed, "It seems that becoming an immortal has made you forget your roots."

Before he finished speaking, Dou Eqing's thoughts stirred slightly, and the Demon Slave Seal, which had long been deeply planted in the most fundamental part of Gu Renzhai and Taotie Jia's soul, was suddenly activated!
"Ugh—!"

"Roar--!"

The two newly promoted True Immortals let out roars of pain and horror almost simultaneously!
Gu Renzhai felt as if his immortal soul was being pierced by millions of red-hot iron needles. His lofty immortal demeanor collapsed instantly, and the trembling and fear from the depths of his soul almost made him kneel on the ground!
Taotie Jiamo screamed in agony as its enormous divine beast body tumbled violently in the air, as if it were about to be annihilated at any moment!
The power of the Demon Slave Seal did not diminish in the slightest because they became True Immortals; on the contrary, it seemed to become even more sinister and terrifying as their strength increased!
This is an absolute restriction that directly affects the very origin of life.

Unless the caster actively dispels the spell, or someone with strength several realms above the caster forcibly breaks through, they will never escape its control!
"Do you still feel there's a difference between immortals and mortals now?"

Dou Eqing's voice, like a curse, echoed in their tormented souls:

"Remember this: who gave you your path to immortality! Whose life is yours!"

The intense pain receded like the tide, but the unforgettable fear and absolute sense of control were deeply imprinted on the souls of the two newly ascended True Immortals.

The arrogance in their eyes when they looked at Dou Eqing was gone, replaced by deep awe and submission.

"I will obey the Lord's order!"

Gu Renzhai lowered his head first, his voice trembling slightly.

Taotie Jiamo also lowered its ferocious head and let out a submissive growl.

"Go."

Dou Eqing said indifferently, "Let me see your usefulness. The merits of unifying the demonic path and the extraterrestrial battlefield will be of great use to me in forging my Golden Body of Merit. If you do your job diligently, now that you have transcended the mortal realm and become immortals, this Demon Slave Seal will be removed for you sooner or later..."

It turns out that after Dou Eqing retrieved the Boundless Merit Pearl, he did not give up his plan to create a golden body of merit.

Using demonic power to fight against the demons from beyond the realm may seem like "using demons to protect the righteous path," but in reality, it is the fastest way for him to seize a massive amount of Heavenly Dao merit!

He not only wants power, but also a holy body of merit that is invulnerable to all laws and untouched by cause and effect!

The two True Immortals dared not be negligent in the slightest. They transformed into two beams of immortal light, carrying unparalleled power, and charged towards the demonic forces that had not yet fully submitted and the war-torn battlefields beyond the realm.

The turmoil in the Kunlun Realm was once again violently stirred up by Dou Eqing's domineering actions of enslaving immortals and cultivating virtue through war.

……

Five hundred years is a long and eventful period for ordinary people, but for the cultivation world, especially the Kunlun Realm which is currently facing the dual storms of "ten thousand cultivators undergoing tribulation" and "the invasion of extraterrestrial demons," it is an even longer period filled with blood and lightning.

The phenomenon of the Devouring God Body devouring countless tribulations lasted for a full five hundred years.

Over the past five hundred years, the Kunlun Realm has witnessed an era of "numerous fairylands" yet one that is also incredibly distorted.

Countless cultivators, taking advantage of the Devouring Tribulation Divine Body, broke through their cultivation realms with almost no risk. In particular, those old monsters who were originally stuck at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage and whose lifespans were about to end, took this opportunity to step into the True Immortal Realm they had always dreamed of.

However, every blessing has its hidden danger.

These hastily cultivated immortals, lacking the life-and-death tempering and profound understanding of the Great Dao that should come with the Heavenly Tribulation, generally have a weak foundation, and their actual combat ability is among the worst of the true immortal realm powerhouses.

No sooner had they become immortals than they were urgently summoned by the Celestial Court, which was under immense pressure, and thrown into the front lines to resist the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons.

The brutality of the battlefields outside the region far exceeded expectations.

The demons are fierce and adapted to the chaotic void environment. Although the Celestial Court is resisting them in the Kunlun Realm.

However, these newly ascended Tribulation Realm cultivators and immortals often have to suffer one or even several times more casualties in order to barely withstand the demon race's offensive.

For five hundred years, the blood of cultivators from the Kunlun Realm has stained almost every inch of the starry sky at the edge of the realm.

This is undoubtedly a war of attrition, using human lives to bridge the gap in strength.

Amidst this chaos and sacrifice, the forces under Dou Eqing presented a different picture.

Under Dou Eqing's absolute command, with Gu Renzhai and Taotie Jiamo, two True Immortals, leading the charge, and Luo Yanxi fully cooperating under Dou Eqing's control, the combined forces of the Judgment Hall and the Sea Demon Sect—almost the entire demonic force—demonstrated astonishing efficiency and combat power.

In particular, the gluttonous demon Jia Mo, which devours everything, finds the outer battlefield to be its fastest training ground for growth.

It not only possesses genuine Immortal-level defensive power, but also utilizes the Taotie Devouring Talent as its combat strength, making it capable of fighting opponents of higher levels.

After five hundred years of continuous warfare, the Gluttonous Demon has advanced to the late stage of True Immortal through devouring.

The numerous demonic cultivators of the demonic path may not be the most righteous army, but they are definitely the most adapted to the brutal battlefield and the most adept at achieving the greatest results with the least cost.

Demonic cultivation techniques are inherently adept at killing and plundering, and when fighting against enemies like the extraterrestrial demons who are "not of our kind," they have no psychological burden whatsoever.

They employ various cunning tactics, sometimes concentrating their elite forces for surprise attacks, sometimes dividing and weakening their forces, and even using the characteristics of the demon race to set traps, using war to fuel their war effort and continuously strengthening themselves.

More importantly, every time they effectively annihilated the enemy, the Immeasurable Merit Pearl transformed and continuously delivered massive amounts of Heavenly Dao Merit to Dou Eqing, who was far away at the Immortal Tribulation Divine Mountain!
In just over three hundred years, against the backdrop of the Kunlun Realm's overall front suffering repeated defeats and the Celestial Court's allied forces in inflicting heavy losses, the demonic forces under Dou Eqing not only withstood the pressure from the demon race but also achieved numerous victories.

The merits that Dou Eqing accumulated in this way have reached an astronomical figure, enough to support him in completing the condensation of that rare and precious golden body of merit!

Just as the main defensive line outside the Kunlun Realm was on the verge of a complete rout due to heavy casualties among the Celestial Court's direct forces and the newly promoted immortals being overwhelmed—

The Immortal Tribulation Divine Mountain, at the center of the thunderous vortex that had lasted for five hundred years, has finally ushered in a decisive change!

The Devouring Body's absorption of myriad tribulations seemed to have reached a critical point of saturation, and its absorption speed began to slow down, while the aura gestating within it became increasingly terrifying, as if a sleeping ancient deity was about to awaken.

The fusion of Dou Eqing's original consciousness with his former physical body (in order to separate the women from the body of the Heavenly Demon) has reached its final stage.

The immense power of merit, like a golden ocean, enveloped it and began to forge, along a profound trajectory, a sacred body of merit that is impervious to all laws and untouched by cause and effect.

The two heaven-defying feats of internal (condensation of the golden body of merit) and external (perfection of the Nine Yang Sacred Body) are about to be accomplished simultaneously!
At this moment, the scales of fate in the Kunlun Realm seemed to have tipped subtly.

Dou Eqing's grand game, with heaven and earth as the chessboard and all living beings as the pieces, is finally coming to an end.

Whether they will turn the tide or use the immense power they've gained to forge a new path, the answer is about to be revealed.

The fate of the Kunlun Realm cultivators who were struggling on the battlefield outside the domain, Li Chunlong, and everyone else would be ultimately decided the moment Dou Eqing completed his transformation.
