Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 318 [Luo Hou's Answers, the Cursed Clan's Relic] (Please Subscribe)

Jin'ao Island.

Xuan Yin was originally in seclusion to comprehend the Nirvana Seal, but the arrival of Bai Ze and Suirenshi forced him to end his seclusion early.

The news the two brought was even more shocking to him; if he didn't stop it, it might really lead to a new great calamity in the primordial world.

Humans, demons, phoenixes, the Witchcraft Cult, the Chan Cult, Xihe the Sun Mother, and the daughter of Shennong—each of them is capable of influencing the balance of the primordial world.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't any major wars in the primordial world now; this is the result of the restraint among the various forces.

If someone were to ignite a spark, this fragile balance could be broken in an instant!

Why did the fall of the nine golden crows in the past twenty reincarnations become the fuse for the demon race's massacre of humans and the war between the witch and demon races?

With Di Jun and Tai Yi's intelligence, they couldn't possibly be unaware that there was something fishy going on!

But they still had to make a decision!

after all----

The nine golden crows did indeed perish at the hands of the witch clan. If they turn a blind eye, the fortune of the demon clan will surely plummet!

This is also a calculated move!

Ultimately, the reason Xuan Yin was able to break the deadlock in this era was because he communicated with the Lich King in advance and saved the lives of the Nine Golden Crows!

But this time, he miscalculated. He didn't expect the Primordial Celestial Venerable to pull such a move. Now, even if he wanted to stop him, it was too late!

This open conspiracy began when Shennong attained the Dao Fruit of the Red Emperor!

"No!"

"It shouldn't be too late yet!"

Xuan Yin suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "The Divine Rebellion Curse is attached to the Crimson Emperor's Dao Fruit. Perhaps we can persuade Shennong to sever the Crimson Emperor's Dao Fruit. As long as Shennong is not the Crimson Emperor, the curse will naturally not affect his descendants!"

Bai Ze frowned and said, "But this Crimson Emperor Dao Fruit is the foundation for Shennong to advance further. Would he be willing to abandon his own path?"

Xuan Yin was also helpless: "I don't know either, we'll only know after we try!"

"That's probably impossible!"

Suirenshi sighed softly, "I went to see Shennong before, and besides the Dao Fruit of the Red Emperor, his true spirit also contained a wisp of primordial Yang Qi!"

"This Primordial Yang Qi, while helping him suppress the Divine Reversal Curse, also bound Shennong's True Spirit and the Crimson Emperor's Dao Fruit together!"

"If the Crimson Emperor's Dao Fruit is severed, Shennong will likely perish immediately!"

"Furthermore, the Divine Reversal Curse, suppressed by the Primordial Yang Qi, will also erupt immediately, and this cursed power will instantly erode the descendants of Shennong!"

Xuan Yin was thinking too simply. Since Yuanshi Tianzun had taken this seriously and set up this scheme, how could he possibly leave him any loopholes?

The reason why a strategy is called an open strategy is that it is fundamentally unsolvable under normal circumstances.

After hearing Suirenshi's words, Xuan Yin sighed helplessly: "If that's the case, then I have no better solution! The one who tied the knot must untie it. The two best solutions now are either to get the one from Kunlun Mountain to give up this open scheme, or to find a way to break the Divine Rebellion Curse!"

But neither method is very reliable!

The former, Yuanshi Tianzun had finally gained control of the situation, so how could he easily give up his plan to let Shennong support the Chan Sect and weaken the Wu Sect?

Regarding the latter, he had also consulted the Tongtian Sect Master about the matter of the Divine Rebellion Curse. He believed that if a sage forcibly removed it, it might cause the Dao Fruit holder to perish!

Seeing this, Bai Ze had no choice but to leave, while Suiren also looked melancholy.

Watching the two leave, Xuan Yin couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Are there no other methods besides these two?"

There definitely is!

He just hadn't thought of it yet!

Besides, Dao Ancestor Hongjun might also have the ability to remove the Divine Rebellion Curse, but this wouldn't affect the survival of the Primordial True Realm.

He won't care!

In his view, these saints and these forces might even be able to delay the arrival of the immeasurable calamity by fighting each other from time to time!

"That's enough!"

"Go ask Rahu!"

As the former Western White Emperor, a participant in the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, and now a Heavenly Saint, and a former Destruction God, Rahu was also cursed by the Divine Reversal Curse. Perhaps he knows the way to break it.

Coincidentally, Xuan Yin also had some questions about Amitabha Buddha and the Buddha of World Freedom, which he wanted to ask the Demon Ancestor Rahu in person.

Before long, he used his own characteristics to arrive at the space-time marked by Rahu.

"Senior Rahu?"

Xuan Yin tentatively spoke.

Upon hearing this, Luo sneered, "I have no junior like you, trying to use the foundation of my demonic path to gain Hongjun's favor!"

Xuan Yin felt no shame, but rather pride, and immediately said, "But isn't betrayal and double-dealing a tradition of our demonic path? The Dao Ancestor has offered many benefits, so why can't I pledge allegiance to him?"

"So far, all you've given me is a twelfth-grade Black Lotus of Annihilation, and some demonic karma that's neither useful nor worth discarding—while the Dao Ancestor is far more generous than you, a mere Demon Ancestor!"

"If Senior Luo could offer me more benefits, I would also be loyal to the demonic path!"

"This junior remembers that Senior Luo Hou, you should also possess the God-Slaying Spear, the Heavenly Demon Tower, and some other extremely high-grade innate spiritual treasures!"

Upon hearing this, Luo was not angry but delighted: "I knew I hadn't misjudged you! Your fickle nature is truly the most suitable person for my Dao Fruit! In the Primordial True Realm, there is no one more suitable than you for the Second Generation Luo!"

"Hahaha!"

Luo is that kind of person. If others respect or fear him, he will look down on them. Only those with a demonic style that has no taboos and a fickle personality can catch his eye.

"Speak!"

"What do you want with me?"

Xuan Yin understands Luo, and Luo also understands Xuan Yin's personality fairly well. He would never seek out the Demon Ancestor unless there's a reason!

"This junior wishes to inquire about the karmic connection between Amitabha Buddha and the Buddha of the World-Free King, as well as the matters concerning the divine retribution curse and the Five Emperors' attainments!"

Xuan Yin slowly spoke, "Senior destroyed the Western Earth Veins. Logically speaking, the Two Sages of the West and you should be irreconcilable enemies! But in Buddhism, the World-Free King Buddha is the teacher of Amitabha Buddha!"

"And that Divine Retribution Curse, I'm very curious, how did you get rid of it? Did you forcibly remove it with the strength of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal? Or did you get rid of it by giving up the Western White Emperor's Dao Fruit?"

Rahu immediately laughed and said, "It seems you must have met Jieyin not long ago! There's nothing to say about the karma between Amitabha Buddha and Lokesvararaja Buddha. The West is the ancestral home of demons, and he and Cundi are both beings who manifested from the Western Land. It's not surprising that they heard my teachings and respect me as their teacher!"

"Before Hongjun became a saint, the western part of the prehistoric world was the territory of my demon race. Even the Qilin clan dared not set foot on Mount Sumeru!"

"You have also cultivated the Great Awakening Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, haven't you noticed that the methods of Buddhism and Taoism are, in many ways, opposite to those of demonic paths?"

"Buddhism and Taoism emphasize the purification of the six senses, while my demonic path uses the six desires of the mortal world as its sustenance!"

"Buddhism and Taoism emphasize the immortality of the golden body, while my demonic path cultivates the indestructible primordial spirit of the Heavenly Demon!"

"Buddhist and Taoist practices require adherence to precepts, while demonic practices emphasize a complete lack of taboos!"

"If Jieyin and Zhunti didn't understand the demonic path, how could they have created a path that is so contrary to the demonic path in many ways?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin fell silent. It was not surprising that during the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts, the Four Extreme Saints were exonerated and went ashore, and after Luo Hou was defeated and suppressed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Two Western Saints were cut off at lightning speed and exonerated and went ashore!

Their backgrounds were inferior to those of the Three Pure Ones, yet they were able to establish Buddhism and Taoism. The hardships they endured cannot be summarized in a few words.

"That fellow who guides others made a deal with me for the sake of that so-called Shakyamuni. You can rest assured that you can occupy the concept of the World-Free King Buddha. He made a great vow to uphold this!"

Luo Hou continued, "As for the Divine Rebellion Curse, it is tainted by the demonic essence of curses, and it is indeed a threat to beings below the Grand Luo Golden Immortal level, but it is not without a solution!"

"The Great Dao of Curses is one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, but ultimately, it is also a kind of power. The simplest way is to devour it, refine it, or find a way to utilize it!"

"Of course, the curse of the Gods is indeed troublesome. I only became aware of its existence after I became a Heavenly Saint!"

"Since you haven't been tainted by the Five Emperors' Dao Fruits, you don't need to worry about it!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately asked, "But the White Emperor's Dao Fruit still contains the Divine Rebellion Curse. Since you discovered its existence, why don't you completely eradicate it or refine it?"

"Furthermore, why did you and Immortal Yangmei abandon the Five Emperors' Dao Fruit?"

"If the reason why the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin are due to karma—shouldn't you and the Great Immortal Yangmei be unafraid of karma?"

Luo Hou burst into laughter, "Of course it's for fun! Don't you think it's quite interesting to watch a powerful cultivator who has obtained the Five Emperors' Dao Fruit be cursed, with their bloodline descendants turning into ferocious beasts, yet being powerless to resolve the situation?"

Xuan Yin was taken aback upon hearing this; this answer was unexpected.

But it's very Rahu!

As the Demon Ancestor, he naturally thrives on chaos, and what do the life, death, fortune, and misfortune of others have to do with him, the infamous Demon Ancestor?

However, Luo still provided an answer to Xuan Yin's question. After becoming a saint, he had specifically studied the origin of the Divine Rebellion Curse.

According to Luo Hou, the once invincible ancestor of ferocious beasts also had several branches.

Among them is a lineage called the Curse Clan, which inherited the resentment and the origin of the Great Dao from the Curse Demon God. Their strength may not be great, but their methods are extremely strange, and ordinary beings cannot detect them at all.

After Meng Zhang, Jian Bing, Ling Guang, and Zhi Ming betrayed the Beast Clan, He Ye, who was on par with them, also considered betraying them.

However, Shen Ni discovered it!

Thus, Shen Ni used the cursed clan's relic treasure to control He. After Fan's fall, his remains were still able to create the zombie clan because of the cursed clan's relic treasure and the origin of the cursed demon god's great path.

"Among the Cursed Clan, there are three extraordinary treasures. You should have heard of two of them: one is the Seven Arrows Nailhead Book in Pan Wang's possession, and the other is the Six Soul Banner in the possession of Tongtian Jiaozhu!"

"The remaining one was offered to Shen Ni by the leader of the Curse Clan. It is called the Spirit-Binding Curse Lock, a formless and intangible, malevolent treasure!"

"Each time it is activated, a section of it will explode, requiring resentment to recover. The exploded curse locks are integrated into the body, primordial spirit, Dao fruit, and bloodline of the cursed person. The birth of the zombie race, and the Divine Rebellion Curse among the Five Emperors' Dao Fruits, all actually originated from the Soul Binding Curse Locks!"

Luo Hou sneered, "And with Shen Ni's destruction by heavenly punishment, that Spirit-Binding Spell Lock completely vanished into the Primordial True Realm!"

"No!"

"It doesn't exactly disappear!"

"It simply merged with the Five Emperors' Dao Fruits, the Roar's bloodline, and those cursed beings in another form!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin breathed a sigh of relief. If they could figure out the source of the curse, they might be able to find a way to lift it.

He remembered that there seemed to be some members of the Curse Clan remaining in the Primordial True Realm, but they were far less numerous than the major Primordial Clans such as the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin!

When he learned that the Seven Arrows of Nailhead was in Pan Wang's possession, he inquired about this magical treasure, which Pan Wang had taken from the Curse Clan.

"I wonder if the remaining members of the cursed race know how to break the curse?"

Without hesitation, Xuan Yin bid farewell to the mark of Rahu and concealed the secrets of heaven and earth, fleeing towards the ancestral land of the Curse Clan in the Primordial True Realm.
