Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 240 Dreams Shattered, What's Left?

The endless battles were nothing to them, who had already achieved Dao.

The cultivators outside can work without sleep or rest, which is not a problem.

Everyone is waiting for the final result.

On the seventh day, both sides unleashed their ultimate techniques, finally reaching the final moment.

Sun Chengdao mobilized the power of the five elements and drew upon the laws of immortals and gods to unleash his strongest attack.

The power of the sun was vast and boundless, but now it was imbued with the power of the moon and a unique Daoist charm.

Although it was only a trace, it far surpassed Sun Chengdao's aura of immortal and divine laws, shattering everything and destroying Sun Chengdao's attack.

Li Changsheng's expression changed. This Yang Wushang had actually comprehended it too?

He had already secretly cultivated the Way of Yin!

In this battle, Sun Chengdao was defeated and suffered some minor injuries.

  Remember us, 101kanshu.com

Yang Wushang was severely injured, but he still won.

Because he only used the power of Taiyin at the very end to achieve the unity of Yin and Yang.

If it had been used earlier, the injury wouldn't have been so severe.

After a moment's thought, Li Changsheng's clone left the Great Wilderness.

The unexpected result shocked the other powerful figures, as well as Sun Chengdao.

He didn't even know how he lost.

Yang Wushang laughed heartily, his laughter filled with unbridled joy, releasing emotions that had been suppressed for a long time.

"The Holy Embryo of Heaven and Earth, the Holy Embryo of Heaven and Earth, hahaha!"

Yang Wushang, in a state of madness, dragged his heavily injured body and vanished in a flash of light.

"Has Yang Wushang gone mad?" Tai Shi Tianmo Shengzi frowned.

"He is not insane. He is the Holy Embryo of Heaven and Earth, the most talented person in history. Everything in the world originates from the Holy Embryo."

The Holy Maiden of the Azure Heaven said solemnly, "His victory over the Holy Embryo is of great significance."

Sun Chengdao showed no sign of dejection; instead, he scoffed and said, "What's the point? I don't even dare to face the Demon Emperor."

Everyone: "..."

Can we not mention the Demon Emperor?

Even the Sacred Embryo of Heaven and Earth paled in comparison to the Demon Emperor!

"However, Yang Wushang cultivated the power of Taiyin, and that last trace of his aura was truly terrifying."

As Jiu Youming finished speaking, he looked at Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I once told my elder brother about the Way of Yin and Yang. My elder brother must have been cultivating it at that time, but he never revealed it."

"My elder brother is truly exceptionally talented!"

"We believe it." Everyone nodded.

Yang Wushang's talent would indeed make him number one if he hadn't encountered the Demon Emperor.

But the truth is, there really is a demon emperor!

The powerful figures departed one after another, also spreading the news of the battle's outcome.

All the cultivators were shocked to hear that Yang Wushang had won.

Even Sun Chengdao, who possessed the Heavenly and Earthly Sacred Embryo, was defeated. Yang Wushang is truly powerful!

Some cultivators even say that Yang Wushang is the second best in the world!

Upon hearing the title of "second best in the world," Yang Dingtian sighed deeply.

Back then, Yang Wushang was also known as the second best in the world. Being number one was just to give face to Daozun and Demon Ancestor.

But now, it's because there's a demon emperor pressing down on it!

Yang Wushang transformed into a beam of light and departed, returning to the demon race's territory. As soon as he entered the demon race's lands, an aura attracted him.

"Hmm? Yin and Yang united?"

Yang Wushang frowned and entered a small mountain below.

A young Taoist priest stood atop the mountain, his aura consisting only of Yang spirit.

"Are you an avatar?" Yang Wushang sized up the young Taoist. With his discerning eye, he could naturally tell that this was merely a divine soul avatar.

"It's been so long, you don't remember me?" the young Taoist said calmly. "Back on Penglai Island, you made me hand over the Heaven-Reaching Staff."

"You are Taiyi... Li Changsheng?!"

Yang Wushang's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the Taoist priest before him.

"Is it that shocking? Congratulations on achieving enlightenment." Li Changsheng said.

Yang Wushang's expression slowly returned to calm. He looked at Li Changsheng, a smile appearing on his lips: "What, seeing me defeat your disciple, you have some thoughts, so you came to see me?"

"Victory or defeat is not important. My visit to you was merely a spur-of-the-moment decision."

A unique Daoist aura appeared at Li Changsheng's fingertips: "Because I have sensed your comprehension."

"You..." Yang Wushang stared at him blankly. He naturally understood this Daoist rhythm, and he had also comprehended it.

Compared to Li Changsheng, he had only just begun to learn about him.

He looked Li Changsheng over again, a hint of amazement on his face: "I must say, you are truly extraordinary. I have been studying you diligently, yet you have surpassed me. Have you already become an immortal?"

"Become an immortal?" Li Changsheng chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "I also wish to become an immortal, but my talent is too poor. Compared to ordinary cultivators, I can be considered a genius, but compared to you top geniuses of an era, I can only look up to you."

"Hmm?" Yang Wushang raised an eyebrow: "To be able to comprehend such a great Dao, your strength should be quite strong."

"Oh, it's just a shortcut."

Li Changsheng sighed softly. Without the Longevity Sacred Mark, let alone comprehend the Dao, even the ability to comprehend it would be a question.

Yang Wushang frowned: "The Great Dao of cultivation, can it be achieved through shortcuts?"

"If others can't, I can," Li Changsheng said. "Becoming an immortal is too far away, but you should be close to it."

Yang Wushang nodded, without denying it.

Li Changsheng added, "When I see you again, you've lost your former domineering nature."

Yang Wushang remained silent.

Li Changsheng continued, "Actually, when I accepted Yang Dingtian as my disciple and passed on the Dao of Chaos, I wanted to pass it on to you even more."

"Hmm?" Yang Wushang stared at him.

"Your talent is even greater, and you have a better chance than Dingtian to comprehend the chaos; that is indeed the case."

Li Changsheng said slowly, "You have already touched it, while Dingtian has no clue."

He smelted the Tai Xuan Sacred Runes and saw a trace of chaotic energy, but he had no clue how to truly comprehend chaos.

But it is definitely related to the unity of all things.

Yang Wushang frowned slightly: "You touched it? Have you figured it out?"

"No." Li Changsheng shook his head and sighed softly: "I once thought that the unity of the five elements and yin and yang would lead to the creation of the Chaos Dao, but after comprehending the unity of the Great Dao, I realized that it did not lead to the creation of Chaos."

"The Great Way Returns to One?"

"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things."

Li Changsheng said, "Similarly, all things return to the three, to the one, to the Dao. This is precisely the reason why the Dao is so vast, yet all paths lead to the same destination."

He recounted his insights and told Yang Wushang about the Dao he had comprehended.

"I am the Tao, the most primordial Tao. I am the origin of all things and also the end of all things. There is no distinction between the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, nor between wind, rain, thunder, and lightning."

Li Changsheng spread his hands, and yin and yang energies emerged: "Yin and yang are in my palms, and the five elements bloom in my hands."

Yin and Yang emerged, the Five Elements differentiated, and all sorts of principles were revealed and evolved in his hands.

A hint of emotion flickered across Yang Wushang's face: "You are truly a prodigy."

"A prodigy, perhaps?" Li Changsheng sighed, gazing at the sky. "I was born knowing some outcomes. I embarked on cultivation, groping for the Great Dao, hoping to get closer to those outcomes."

He works backward from the result, unlike ordinary people who don't know what level of spiritual cultivation they should reach or which path to take.

"Born with knowledge of certain outcomes?" Yang Wu's face showed doubt: "What outcomes?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's the end of the Great Dao, or maybe it's a certain realm of the Great Dao. In any case, it's a realm that no cultivator has reached."

Li Changsheng paused for a moment, then said, "Perhaps, ancient beings like Tai Xuan Dao Zun have stepped into that realm."

"The end of the Great Dao?" Yang Wushang asked in a deep voice, "Is it the chaos you speak of?"

"Chaos is just the beginning, not the end," Li Changsheng said, shaking his head.

The gestation of chaos is only the beginning; he aims to create the Chaos Holy Embryo and become an existence like the Chaos Demon God!

As for what will happen next, I don't know.

But with such a supreme foundation, no matter what path they take in the future, they will not be inferior to other immortals.

"Chaos is just the beginning?" Yang Wushang said in shock, "It really shocks me, but I still believe it when you, Li Changsheng, say it."

"I am not a genius; I only know which direction to strive in."

Li Changsheng's expression was somber as he slowly recounted, "When I came into this world, I was incredibly weak, with poor talent, and unable to compete for resources..."

"My fellow disciples are all stronger than me. I finally managed to get some pills, but my senior brother took them away from me."

"I could only endure it. Fortunately, I found a method that suited me. From that moment on, I understood that what suits you best is the most important."

Yang Wushang listened quietly; he had never been so patient before.

If it were anyone else, even the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, they wouldn't have the patience, but Li Changsheng could make him listen quietly!

"I accompanied Niu Wendao for a period of time and helped him get into the Xuantian Sect. He once invited me to go in with him."

But I understand that I can't go, because my talent is too poor. If I went, I would only be a burden, and my presence might even cause unnecessary conflicts.

"I took in a willow tree, hoping she could grow up carefree. But then she saw a Buddhist scripture that described a Bodhisattva who shone brightly throughout the three thousand worlds. The naive willow tree thought that the Buddhist practice was about creating the three thousand worlds."

Yang Wushang: "??"

Is the growth of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor really that outrageous?

Can a single passage of scripture unlock the Dharma gates of three thousand worlds?

Even Buddhist monks wouldn't believe this if it were told to them, right?

"She succeeded and entered the realm of world-class cultivation. At that moment, I realized that she was no ordinary person either," Li Changsheng sighed softly.

"The Dharma of the Three Thousand Worlds is unprecedented in history. You have witnessed the Dharma of the Three Thousand Worlds, which is something to be proud of," Yang Wushang commented.

He also acknowledged the power of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor!

"Later, she and I studied the laws of the world together. We lived cautiously, accumulating strength, to kill our former enemies and plunder their resources..."

Li Changsheng recalled the past with a sigh: "The Heavenly Heart Demon Queen surpassed me. She said she wanted to become the Demon King, so I wrote a book called 'The Road to Demon King' for her."

"She wanted to become the Demon Emperor, so I wrote the Path to the Demon Emperor."

Yang Wushang: "..."

I think you really don't need to write these for her!

If it weren't for you, how could there be the current Demon Emperor?

"During that time, I took Sun Chengdao under my wing and watched Wuyou conquer everywhere, becoming a qualified king."

Li Changsheng smiled and said, "From that moment on, I knew I had to leave. In their lives, I was just a passerby."

"But they always remember you; you are not just a passerby," Yang Wushang said.

"If I followed them, do you think Wuyou would be the Demon Emperor he is today?"

Li Changsheng countered, "Those demons will target me and use me to threaten her. What can you do when you're weak?"

In this world, weakness is the original sin!

Survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle!

"They're strong enough now, why are you still hiding?" Yang Wushang asked.

"Not strong enough." Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "Besides, what am I now? I've taught so many Dao Integration cultivators, but what about me? Everyone says that it's a master's honor for his disciples to surpass their masters."

"But Master is also heartbroken! If Yang Dingtian really surpasses you, will you only feel gratified?"

Yang Wushang fell silent; he understood Li Changsheng's feelings.

If Yang Dingtian surpasses him, he will be pleased, but he will also feel bad and be greatly affected.

"To the world, if I fail to become an immortal, am I worthy to be their master? My very existence is a disgrace!"

Li Changsheng sighed, "I am not exceptionally talented; I am merely a temporary guide."

"A temporary guide," Yang Wushang murmured, "Now that you've appeared, are you here to guide me?"

"Of course, I would like to discuss the Dao of Chaos with you," Li Changsheng said.

"You have already taught me," Yang Wushang said. "The Great Dao returns to One; even if I didn't want to learn it, I have already memorized it."

"With your talent, you will surely be able to comprehend it," Li Changsheng said. "Perhaps I can even wait for the appearance of the Dao of Chaos."

"I'm afraid you won't live to see this day." Yang Wushang slowly walked to the edge of the mountain, looking down at the dense forest below: "This era does not belong to me."

"Hmm?" Li Changsheng frowned. "What do you mean?"

"Since its resurrection, the glory of the Sun Bird has vanished. All pride and heritage disappeared in the moment of fratricide."

Yang Wushang conjured true solar fire at his fingertips, transforming it into a sun bird that circled around him: "Since childhood, the teachings I have received have been to glorify the Sun Demon Clan and let the glory of the Sun Demon Emperor spread throughout the world."

"I will strive with all my might. No matter how severe the injury or how powerful the enemy, I will not be afraid. Whatever lies ahead, I firmly believe that the True Fire of the Sun can incinerate everything!"

"I believe that no matter the era or where I am, I can lead the Sun Demon Clan to rise again and lead my brothers to stand proudly at the top of the sky."

"But from the moment it was sealed away, my second brother's sword destroyed everything I had!"

"I've asked myself more than once, was I wrong? Why did he thrust his sword out?"

"Is the Sun Treasure important? Even without it, I can still become an immortal. I've never even considered keeping it all for myself!"

Li Changsheng stared blankly at Yang Wushang. He knew that Yang Wushang had never opened the Sun Treasure or used the ancient relics.

He had always envisioned sharing the treasure with his brothers, standing atop the world, and recreating the glory of the Sun Demon Emperor.

However, that third-best sword strike in the world destroyed the brotherhood and shattered Yang Wushang's dream!

He used to work so hard for his clan and his brothers, but he experienced fratricide, leaving only himself and the youngest, Yang Dingtian.
