Primordial Era: I, Wutu, govern the Earthly Dao and suppress the Heavenly Dao.

At the summit of Mount Sumeru.

Luo Hou gazed at the three top-grade innate spiritual roots before him, his eyes filled with pride and ecstasy.

"You should all join me in my demonic path!"

As the laughter subsided,

Rahu unleashed a torrent of demonic energy and simultaneously summoned the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus and the Nine Demon Tower, drawing upon the Three Lights Divine Water and boundless demonic energy to pour into the three spiritual roots!

The demonic energy surged like a tide, and the first to be hit was the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit!

The compassionate golden light, imbued with the merits of the Great Dao, emitted a series of buzzing sounds the moment it collided with the demonic energy.

It seemed to be subconsciously resisting this completely different aura.

However, because the Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus shared the same origin as it, it only resisted for a moment before readily accepting it.

The golden lotus, having absorbed the demonic energy, now has a layer of purplish-black covering its golden leaves.

Both are lotus seeds of the Chaos Green Lotus. Even if one destroys the world and the other brings merit, they are of the same origin!

Therefore, the fusion of their energies is also within the rules of the Great Dao, which is why Rahu dared to attack the merits of the Great Dao!

Seeing that the Golden Lotus of Merit no longer resisted, Rahu poured even more demonic energy into it.

Because of the presence of a wisp of Great Dao merit, the Golden Lotus of Merit, after receiving ample nourishment from the demonic energy emanating from the Black Lotus's origin,

It didn't even require much of the Three Lights Divine Water, and it gradually transformed from the dazzling golden light into an old man dressed in a cloth robe!

The robe was dark yellow, seemingly a manifestation of the fusion of merit and demonic energy.

His face was withered, but he had a kind and benevolent appearance.

However, between his brows, a faint demonic mark was visible.

The magic pattern is red in color!

His eyes possessed both the inherent compassion and the inverse expression resulting from being infused with world-destroying demonic energy—this was the state of Nirvana!

This old man is none other than Jieyin!

He, who wields the two paths of compassion and annihilation, possessed the cultivation level of a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal as soon as he took human form!

Then, after ten thousand years, the Gengjin Bodhi Tree also began to change.

The transformation into human form is mainly achieved through the infusion of one's own merits and the demonic energy of world destruction, without consuming much of the water from the divine pool or the power of the spiritual veins.

In this way, the Gengjin Bodhi tree naturally has sufficient "nutrients".

Originally standing beside the sacred pool, it was directly irrigated by Rahu with divine water!

In the Golden Lotus Pond, it absorbs nutrients from the pond's edge, so it is naturally slightly inferior to the Golden Lotus.

However, when Rahu unleashed the Nine Demon Towers, the situation was completely different.

Rahu used the Nine Demon Tower to mobilize the Three Lights Divine Water, which, along with the supreme demonic energy, irrigated and nourished it. Furthermore, after being guided into human form, it became the first in its class and decisively absorbed the nutrients.

On this day, the Bodhi tree emitted a brilliant golden-black light, which slowly coalesced into a gaunt old man!

His eyes flashed with the color of metal, sharp as a knife, as if they could see through people's hearts. A trace of black light flowed in his eyes, hiding an indescribable gloom.

He is none other than Zhunti!

Born with the power to comprehend the Dao and guide others, his cultivation level after taking human form was slightly lower than that of Jieyin, reaching the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

Finally, there's the bitter bamboo.

Unlike the Golden Lotus, the Bitter Bamboo has no merits, nor does it have the assistance of the Black Lotus of the same origin. Unlike the Bodhi Tree, it does not absorb a large amount of divine water of the three lights and demonic energy. After the two have taken different forms, there is not much left for it.

Transformation is extremely difficult!

Seeing this, Luo Hou decisively retrieved the Black Lotus and the Demon Tower, and then summoned the God-Slaying Spear and the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!

The God-Slaying Spear sliced ​​through the void and then landed beside the Bitter Bamboo.

The murderous and malevolent aura emanating from this supreme treasure is the most intense in the primordial world.

Although only half of the Zhuxian Sword Formation has been unsealed, it still contains immeasurable killing power. The combined power of the two is terrifying!

Rahu's eyes fell upon the body of the bitter bamboo.

The demonic energy, used to control killing intent, gradually merged into the pillar, and he said in a deep voice:

Whether you successfully take human form or are slaughtered and annihilated depends on yourself.

Bitter bamboo grows in the crevices of rocks and has an extremely strong vitality, which also proves its resilience.

Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now!

After tens of thousands of years of killing and "nourishment," all the leaves of its bamboo have fallen off, leaving only a lonely bamboo stalk!

Even so, its vitality has not diminished in the slightest.

Instead, after countless battles and destructions and the restoration by the Three Lights Divine Water, it emitted a dark green light!

"It's done!"

As Rahu's joyful cry subsided, the emerald green bamboo turned dark green, then transformed into countless points of light that coalesced into a young Taoist!

He was dressed in a dark green robe, thin and pale with a sickly look, as if he could be blown away by the wind.

Between his brows, there was neither the compassion of Jieyin nor the sharpness of Zhunti; his sorrowful eyes seemed to bear all the suffering in the world!

He was transformed from bitter bamboo, and his name was:

Pure Derivation!

He is in charge of the two paths of purity and tranquility, and his cultivation level is comparable to that of Zhunti, reaching the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

The path he wields is one of annihilation of the six senses; it is a path of ruthlessness!

Just like what Taiqing cultivates now, this proves that Wuqing is both an immortal and a demon!

The three top-grade innate spiritual roots successfully transformed in succession, causing Luo Hou to clap his hands and laugh heartily.

"I am the Ancestor Rahu, and you are all my disciples!"

Unlike the others who at least feigned inquiry, Luo Hou spoke with extreme domineering authority, displaying an unquestionable majesty.

Upon hearing this, how could Jieyin, Zhunti, and Jingyan dare to refuse?

They were able to take human form entirely thanks to this person, and their own path also originated from this person, so he must be their teacher!

The three of them bowed respectfully to Rahu in unison:

"We pay our respects to our teacher!"

Hahaha~

Looking at his three disciples, Luo Hou's laughter grew even more hearty, and he no longer felt any sense of being unable to understand the Great Dao.

Jieyin possesses great merit and virtue, while Zhunti and Jieyin also have their own demonic paths. They are both born as Great Golden Immortals, and their backgrounds are in no way inferior to the Three Pure Ones or the Ancestral Witches!

"So what if Hongjun found the Three Pure Ones? So what if Zhenyuanzi subdued the Twelve Ancestral Witches?"

Luo Hou gazed towards Buzhou Mountain and Kunlun Mountain, his eyes filled with arrogance.

"I also have three disciples with deep roots!"

"The outcome of this primordial struggle for lineage and the proof of the Dao is far from decided!"

After saying this, Rahu immediately passed on his demonic cultivation method and ordered his three disciples to cultivate on Mount Sumeru.

The three disciples, overjoyed and grateful upon receiving this demonic inheritance, bowed again in gratitude.

"We thank our teacher."

The demonic cultivation method created by Luo Hou is to destroy the nine insects, which is also called slaying the nine insects.

It is to cut off all desires, poisons, and evil within oneself, and to refine and control the original inner demons!

Unlike Hongjun's method of severing the three corpses and then reuniting them, Luohou's method of severing the nine insects is to sever them and then not reunite them; once severed, they are useless!

In this way, the nine insects can become one's own treasure!

This is the origin of Rahu's treasure, the Nine Demon Tower!

After obtaining this demonic cultivation method, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Jingyan can also use it to preserve their original essence by first severing and then refining the Golden Lotus, the Seven Treasures Tree, and the Six Roots Pure Bamboo!

However, this process will be extremely lengthy, and their current Great Luo cultivation level is far from sufficient...

The birth of the three demonic disciples made the demonic energy on Mount Sumeru even more intense, and the demonic fortune rose from the ground!

In particular, the wisp of Great Dao merit possessed by the guide immediately caused the other demon gods to freeze in shock.

The Five Elements: "Even Mount Sumeru possesses the auspicious energy of the Great Dao!"

"Therefore, I must quickly collect the five elements from the primordial world, whether they be the five elemental spiritual roots or the five directional flags!"

Qiankun: "First it was Buzhou Mountain, then Kunlun Mountain, and now it's Sumeru Mountain!"

"My path aligns with Heaven, earning me the blessings of the heavens, and I've accepted Hongyun as my disciple. But what if I... also align with Earth?"

Yin Yang: "In that case, even if I have four disciples who embody my Yin-Yang Dao and receive the fortune of the sun and moon, I will still be slightly inferior to them."

"However, while I cannot compare to the sun and moon, what if I possessed the power of all the stars in the sky?"
