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

Chapter 323 [Conflict Between Humans and Demons, Dao Corrupted by Inner Demons] (Please Subscribe)

"The Nine-Rank Pure White Lotus?"

Yuanshi Tianzun was always watching Shennong, so he naturally knew about Xuan Yin's act of handing over the Nine-Rank Pure World White Lotus to Shennong to suppress the curse of divine rebellion.

He sneered, "That is indeed a variable, but a single ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus cannot truly dispel the Divine Rebellion Curse. It can suppress it for a time, but not forever! This meager skill is not qualified to overturn the causal order I have established!"

However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Yuanshi Tianzun decided to proactively promote conflict and friction between the human and demon races.

Lu Jun went to the West, expressing his willingness to become the Great Sun Tathagata in exchange for the help of the two Western Saints—but unfortunately, the West was too busy to help itself, and neither Jieyin nor Zhunti wanted to get involved in Yuanshi Tianzun's scheme!

They merely promised that if things became unmanageable, they would intervene to protect Xihe's true spirit.

Lu Jun had no choice but to leave.

But when he returned to the demon realm, a powerful demon suggested, "Your Highness, since Shennong's daughter is Yuanshi Tianzun's weakness, why don't we also start with his daughter?"

"If we capture his daughter, Shennong will surely not dare to act rashly. As long as he doesn't seize Xihe Niangniang's power, we can treat his daughter as a guest!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun's eyes lit up immediately: "That's a great idea!"

If possible, he naturally did not want a war between the human and demon races, but he did not have anything that would make the human and Chan Sect hesitate to act.

"Your Highness, this is not appropriate!"

Bai Ze quickly advised, "Shennong's daughter is a matter of honor for the human race. If we abduct her, it might incur the hatred of humanity!"

Lu Jun's expression remained unchanged, but she coldly asked, "Does that demonic figure have any ideas?"

Bai Ze fell silent.

Although he was known as a wise man among the demon race, he was helpless in the face of such a blatant scheme.

"I'll take care of it myself!"

Seeing Bai Ze remain silent, Lu Jun immediately made up her mind: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't let Shennong's third daughter get hurt!"

Shennong's eldest daughter is now a Daoist partner with Chijingzi, so he can't easily make a move against her.

Shennong's second daughter has now joined the Jie Sect and is cultivating on Jin'ao Island. With Kong Xuan watching over her, Lu Jun has no chance to make a move.

Therefore, his target was Yao Ji, the third daughter of Shennong.

Having made up her mind, Lu Jun did not hesitate at all and immediately used the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique to abduct Yao Ji as quickly as possible.

Of course, he also left a message for Shennong: "Shennong, as long as you no longer covet the power of the sun, I guarantee your daughter will be safe and sound!"

Yao Ji is now only a True Immortal, so she naturally has no power to fight back against Lu Jun.

Although this move was unbecoming of a monarch, it did make Shennong hesitant to act rashly.

Shennong was furious, but there was nothing he could do. If he let his anger cloud his judgment, it would definitely trigger a great war between the human and demon races.

but----

Although Shennong chose to back down, the news that the demon prince Lu Jun had abducted Shennong's daughter still spread like wildfire throughout the primordial world.

Some human cultivators were even more enraged and began to attack the demon race in the Primordial True Realm, hoping to get Lu Jun to release Shennong's daughter.

Although Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun opened up the demon realm, not all demons followed Lu Jun, Bai Ze and others to migrate to the demon realm.

In the primordial world, there are also many demon races, who still revere Di Jun as the Demon Emperor.

Among these demon races, although there are no quasi-saints, there are quite a few demon kings and demon gods who have cultivated to the Taiyi or Daluo levels.

Faced with the provocation from the human cultivators, they immediately launched a retaliation.

The demon race is bloodthirsty!

Several Taiyi Demon Kings even directly attacked and slaughtered dozens of human tribes.

"How dare you!"

Although Suirenshi knew that this was Yuanshi Tianzun's scheme, he still personally took action to kill those demon kings when he saw the human race being slaughtered!

The rift between the human and demon races widened once again, and major battles broke out in many places.

Although both Suirenshi and Bai Ze called on their human and demon races to exercise restraint, how could they quell each other's anger with words alone?

Suddenly, tensions rose between the human and demon races, and their relationship began to deteriorate rapidly.

"Ugh!"

Seeing this scene before him, Xuan Yin couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "The will of the Sage is hard to defy; the worst-case scenario has still occurred!"

The current situation is a result of both sides exercising restraint. If no one, such as the Bai Ze, were to mediate between them, it would be highly likely that the conflict would escalate into a full-scale war between the two races.

But once a crack is created, it's not so easy to repair it!

He has been searching for ways to enhance his spiritual power, such as reincarnation and karmic trials, or comprehending methods related to the Great Way of the Mind and the Great Way of Dreams.

Although there were some gains, they were negligible and insufficient to complete the transformation.

"Perhaps I should go and explore the heart of Pangu!"

When Xuan Yin was in Guixu, he roughly determined that the origin of Pangu's Heart was located in the southern part of Guixu, probably below the Undying Volcano.

However, since that place concerned the fire element cycle of the primordial true world and was imbued with the intense pressure of Pangu, he did not step into that world.

But now, he has tried all the methods that could be tried. If he wants to further improve his Mind Source Power, he can only place his hopes on Pangu!

Before long, Xuan Yin stepped into the Ruins of Return once again, but this time he entered quietly in his true form.

The Fire Element World was filled with scorching heat, and the residual Pangu Daoist essence within it was enough to make ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals tremble uncontrollably.

However, this place seems to only provide enough energy for the five elements cycle of the Primordial True Realm. Xuan Yin did not find a way to improve his Heart Source Power, but he did hear a roar that was enough to shake the heavens.

He couldn't help but show a look of horror: "The Heart of Pangu, even after transforming into a world of fire, still contains such terrifying power!"

This was not the heart of Pangu vibrating, but the Great Dao roaring—in a daze, Xuan Yin seemed to see the Great Dao of Power ruling over all paths.

The power of Yin and Yang is power, the power of the Five Elements is power, the power of time, the power of space, the power of destiny—all kinds of power come together to form the Great Dao of Power, which forged the divine body of Pangu!

"Common ground!"

Xuan Yin suddenly realized that Pangu's Great Dao of Power was achieved by forcibly fusing together many Great Daos by leveraging their commonalities.

Therefore, Pangu was able to be invincible and easily suppress three thousand chaotic demons!

To feel the Great Dao of Power is like feeling the rhythm of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Xuan Yin couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

"pity!"

Then, he shook his head in frustration: "It doesn't allow me to improve my mental power any further!"

Suddenly, Xuan Yin's gaze fell on the shadows of the Fire Element World, and he sensed a presence, as if someone had been there for a long time.

"Has anyone else been here besides me?"

Xuan Yin frowned slightly: "Moreover, this aura seems to have the shadow of the demonic path!"

"Could it be Luo?"

Xuan Yin had a sudden thought and immediately used his Heaven-Returning Sun Divine Power to try to see the shadows of the past and see who left their aura here.

As expected, Rahu had indeed been here. In addition, there were Yang Mei, Qiankun, Yin Yang, Daozu Hongjun and others, but they were all repelled by the residual power of Pangu here.

That aura wasn't left behind by them, but by a Six Desires Demon, comparable to a Taiyi Golden Immortal, after the decline of the Divine Path.

Here, he broke through to the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Realm, lingered for countless eons, and finally became a Quasi-Saint of the Demonic Path.

"Inner demons!"

Xuan Yin was startled. As a treasure for suppressing the destiny of the demonic path, the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus naturally contained the information of all branches of the demonic path, that is, all the quasi-saints of the demonic path.

This inner demon is one of Luo's generals. His strength may not rank among the top among the many quasi-saints of the demonic path, but the great war between the dragon, phoenix and qilin clans is inseparable from him.

As is widely known, the reason why the war between the three races broke out was not only the struggle between the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin, but also the instigation of Rahu behind the scenes.

However, few living beings know how Luo escalated the conflict between the three races!

However, Xuan Yin, as the second generation of Luo, was quite aware of this.

Inner demons!

Among Luo Hou's subordinates, the one most skilled at sowing discord was naturally the Heart Demon. It was he who used the Great Dao of the Heart Demon to incite the war between the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans.

This inner demon is neither an innate being nor an acquired being; it is formed from the desires of all living beings after Luo created the demonic path.

His birth stemmed from the desires of all living beings, while the demonic path facilitated his birth.

After discovering his birth, Luo further perfected the demonic path. The original demonic path only had the Great Freedom Dao Fruit, which was comparable to the Great Luo.

It wasn't until he discovered that inner demons could arouse the seven emotions and six desires of all beings that Luo, in order to allow more people to cultivate the demonic path, evolved the Six Desires Heaven Demonic Path Fruit downwards.

The potential of inner demons is undoubtedly terrifying. For other living beings, a great calamity may be a disaster with no chance of survival, but for inner demons, a great calamity is a breeding ground for their continuous growth.

Other demonic quasi-saints, such as the Demon Lord, Earth Demon, Flame Demon, and Ice Demon, are basically transformed from practitioners of the divine or immortal paths.

The inner demon is the first demonic being born from the desires of all living beings.

He was different from the other demons created by Luo, or rather, he was created by all the beings of the primordial world at that time using their own desires.

After the Great Tribulation of Dao and Demon, although the inner demon perished, his Dao of the Inner Demon still exists. If a cultivator does not have a firm Dao heart, he will trigger the inner demon tribulation in the dark when he breaks through.

"The Path of Inner Demons!"

Xuan Yin seemed to have an epiphany: this was a unique Dao created by combining the inner demon with the demonic path, the great Dao of the mind, and the path of the seven emotions and six desires.

"Perhaps I should try to use the characteristics of the Great Luo to control the concept of inner demons!"

"In this way, perhaps we can use the Path of Inner Demons to transform the desires of all beings, turning them into resources for the transformation of our inner source power!"

Just when you think you've reached a dead end, a new path opens up before you. In the Fire Element World, Xuan Yin, though unable to find a way to further enhance his Heart Source Power, was inspired by the aura left behind by his inner demons.

"Even in the demonic path, there are talented people!"

Xuan Yin regained his confidence: "However, this concept will soon be mine!"

As the second-generation Luo, he felt no remorse whatsoever for taking over the demonic branches opened by others, or appropriating the great paths derived from other beings and making them his own resources.

This is the characteristic of the demonic path.

The innate divine way of the primordial era is rooted in the great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the primordial world. What is mine belongs to Heaven and Earth, but what belongs to Heaven and Earth is not necessarily mine.

While the path of immortals comprehends the way of heaven and earth, it is clearly divided: what is mine is mine, and what belongs to the primordial world belongs to the primordial world.

Only the demonic path, regardless of yours, his, or the world's, ultimately belongs to me!
