Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 241 Yang Wushang Accepts the Demon Seed

Previously, Yang Wushang had a dream in his heart, which gave him endless motivation to achieve it.

But now, his dream is shattered, and he is lost.

"No matter how hard I try, the glory of the Sun Demon Clan can never be relived."

Yang Wushang gave a self-deprecating laugh: "The world will only remember the Sun Clan, brothers killing each other, heartless beasts!"

"Where is Yang Dingtian?" Li Changsheng asked. "He has been waiting for you. You two went through the Sun Inheritance together. He should know that he cherishes you as his elder brother and your brotherhood."

Yang Wushang turned to look at him: "Do you know what the glory of the sun is?"

"I don't know," Li Changsheng shook his head.

"The Sun Clan, supreme and unique!" Yang Wushang said proudly, "In ancient times, our clan was also the world's top overlord. Countless clans have perished in the long river of time, but our clan has prospered forever."

"All demons in the world worship our race. Whether it is a sacred fetus or a human, they all have reverence for us. We rely on the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate, which is called the Emperor's Dew. Our race uses the Emperor's Dew to benefit all living beings under heaven."

"They prayed to our people, and bestowed upon us the Emperor's Dew; how glorious the Sun Clan was then!"

"The world has long forgotten the glory of my race, but I, the ruler, will never forget!"

Li Changsheng fell silent.

Is Yang Wushang still living in the past? Times have changed?

"My vision is inferior to yours; I only see the glory of my people!"

Yang Wushang scoffed coldly, his face full of self-mockery: "I am not even as good as Dingtian. He has the great righteousness of the world, and he has the heart to resist the great calamity of heaven and earth... I just want to restore the glory of the past."

"It's difficult," Li Changsheng sighed softly.

"It's absolutely impossible!" Yang Wushang said. "I know in my heart that even without the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, it's impossible for the Sun Clan to return to its former glory in this era."

"Then what are you insisting on?" Li Changsheng asked.

"Persist..." Yang Wushang opened his mouth, but chuckled softly, "What am I persisting in? And what are you persisting in?"

  

"This humble Taoist only wishes to live through one era after another. As for fighting against the great calamity of heaven and earth? I'm sorry, this humble Taoist does not have that ability."

Li Changsheng sighed, "If I had enough strength, I could easily take care of this, but I don't."

"Who in the world can be confident in dealing with a group of True Immortals?" Yang Wushang shook his head and said, "Even the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor can't, and neither can any of the major powers."

"I am just an ordinary cultivator, and even quite weak, and dare not stand up."

Li Changsheng said, "How could someone like me be allowed to leave this world and become their master? Do you expect me to lead them against the great calamity of heaven and earth?"

"Indeed, you don't have that ability," Yang Wushang said bluntly. "You know your own limitations very well."

"A person should know himself. I am just an ordinary cultivator, living one day at a time," Li Changsheng said.

Yang Wushang sighed, a hint of bewilderment in his voice, and said, "Is living really that good?"

"It's good that you're alive," Li Changsheng said. "Your dream is shattered, but Yang Dingtian is still here. Although you appear ruthless, everyone knows that you don't want anything to happen to Yang Dingtian and that you cherish this younger brother."

Yang Wushang smiled and said, "Is it that obvious?"

"It's obvious," Li Changsheng said.

Yang Wushang suppressed his smile and said, "Dingtian has grown up now. He has friends, you as his master, and the strongest Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor as his backer."

"He will be very safe and live a good life in this era."

Yang Wushang murmured softly, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

He could never fit into this era!

Li Changsheng laughed and said, "We are all on the edge of the times. I appeared by Niu Wendao's side, once guided the Demon Emperor into cultivation, conferred gods in the Great Shang Dynasty, and taught Wutian, creating the Six Paths..."

"But I am not the protagonist of this era. Time flies by. I am in this era, yet I am not in this era."

"No matter the era, I have always been on the margins, unable to truly integrate into this era."

Li Changsheng turned to Yang Wushang and asked, "Tell me, when will I be able to become the protagonist of this era?"

"If you are still alive after the great calamity of heaven and earth."

Yang Wushang said, "Of course, there is another premise, that is, the world has not been destroyed even if the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and all of them are dead."

"Then I will try my best to live, hoping to live until that time," Li Changsheng said with a smile.

Yang Wushang's lips curled into a smile: "What's the difference between you and an old tortoise?"

"So what if I'm an old tortoise? Ten thousand years from now, maybe I'll still be alive, and the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor will be gone."

Li Changsheng said, "Even if you are unparalleled geniuses, in this world, only those who survive to the end have the right to laugh at those who came before them."

"Our lifespans are all longer than yours," Yang Wushang said.

"How about we have a contest? Who lives longer?" Li Changsheng laughed. "This humble Taoist has consumed many longevity elixirs; my lifespan is already over ten thousand years."

"You old tortoise," Yang Wushang laughed and scolded, feeling much better. "Then I wish you to live through one era after another."

"I accept your blessing and will strive to live on," Li Changsheng said.

"If you want to live, then live. This era has no need for the glory of the Sun Clan, nor does it need me," Yang Wushang sighed softly.

"I still need you," Li Changsheng sighed. "My Chaos Dao depends on you."

"Wouldn't the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor be more suitable?" Yang Wushang said.

"The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor has his own path to follow. Now that you've come to this era, shouldn't you leave something behind?"

Li Changsheng said, "When I am told about you by future generations, I will at least have something to say about you in the future."

"Then I must thank you for recording me in history," Yang Wushang said with a smile.

"That is my longevity diary, which records a lot, such as the Ancestral Dragon Sacred Mark, the Tai Xuan Sacred Mark, and your Sun Sacred Mark."

Li Changsheng said, "I think you should create the Chaos Dao, and future generations will all respect you."

"You certainly know how to talk," Yang Wushang chuckled, shaking his head. "I will do my best to comprehend it. How will I find you then?"

"This avatar of mine will not leave. It will transform into a demonic seed and infiltrate your body to record everything about you."

Li Changsheng said, "What you have cultivated and realized can all become a part of this humble Daoist."

"There is such a method?" Yang Wushang asked in surprise.

Li Changsheng said proudly, "Of course, would you like to learn the Dao Heart Seed Magic that I created?"

Yang Wushang asked, "Do you create laws because you have nothing better to do?"

"Someone as useless as me has to resort to some tricks, otherwise how can I comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth?"

Li Changsheng sighed, "I have no other choice but to rely on geniuses like you to improve."

"What if I don't agree?" Yang Wushang said, "If this method gets out, I'm afraid even the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and the others will hate you and suspect that you have planted a demonic seed in them."

"The Demon Queen knew of this method, and I gave it to her immediately. She helped me plant several demonic seeds," Li Changsheng said.

"I must say, you are quite frank." Yang Wushang sighed softly and said, "I agree. If I didn't agree, you would probably go to Dingtian."

"Initially, a demonic seed was indeed planted in Yang Dingtian, but it was later removed."

Li Changsheng said, "This demonic seed merely records what you have cultivated and comprehended; it is harmless. If you wish to learn it, I will teach you."

"No need. I don't need your Dao Heart to be planted with demons. As long as you understand Yin and Yang, that's enough," Yang Wushang said.

"Okay." Li Changsheng nodded, his body transforming into a stream of light and disappearing into Yang Wushang's body.

Yang Wushang also gained some insights into Li Changsheng's Tai Xuan Sacred Runes.

He left the hill and returned to his own territory.

"Li Changsheng, you have truly impressed me. You are quite something to help others cultivate."

In Yang Wushang's mind, the Dao Heart Seed Magic Gate was also added.

Although he didn't want it, Li Changsheng still gave it to him.

This Heart Seed Magic Gate is indeed a miraculous method; even a demonic cultivator can modify the demonic seed.

It's not impossible to transform a demonic seed into a demonic embryo that devours others.

When the demonic fetus is unified, its strength will increase dramatically.

Li Changsheng had no intention of using this method to improve himself; there was no need for it.

My method is already good enough. If I make myself universally hated, I'll really have nowhere to hide.

After handing the demon seed over to Yang Wushang, Li Changsheng's main body breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a pity that Yang Wushang, such a prodigy, could not have figured it out.

"Yang Wushang's dream has been shattered. He can no longer fit into this era, and he no longer wants to live."

Li Changsheng sighed softly.

What he couldn't let go of before was his younger brother, Yang Dingtian.

Now, Yang Dingtian has integrated into this era, has friends, and has a master, so there's no need for him to worry anymore.

This is why Yang Wushang felt that living was meaningless.

In this era, I can't find a place to belong, and I can't find anything to care about.

Li Changsheng sighed, feeling sorrow for Yang Wushang.

Clan honor bound him for life, and he devoted his entire life to it, but in the end, he was betrayed by his brothers and killed his own flesh and blood.

All the effort, all the sacrifices, were shattered by that one sword!

Li Changsheng sighed and decided to keep his word, so he opened a separate page in Changsheng Diary to record Yang Wushang's story.

Having memorized Yang Wushang's name, he also entered a state of cultivation, focusing on refining the world.

Yang Wushang returned to seclusion, and the world returned to peace.

The cultivators were still marveling at Yang Wushang's power, that he could even defeat the Heavenly Sacred Embryo.

Not long after, Sun Chengdao successfully transcended his tribulation and entered the realm of immortality.

This once again caused a sensation throughout the world.

Decades later, another tribulation of ascension to immortality descended, and Yang Wushang stepped into the realm of ascension to immortality.

Not long after Yang Wushang successfully transcended his tribulation, the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor emerged from seclusion, his imperial might overwhelming and pervasive, pressing down on the entire Central Plains.

In an instant, all the cultivators sensed that the Demon Emperor was in seclusion. Fortunately, the oppressive aura did not affect them and only passed by in a flash.

"Our troops march into the vast wilderness, into the land of the immortals!"

The voice of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor resounded throughout the Central Plains.

One by one, powerful figures emerged from their seclusion, responded to the Demon Emperor, and agreed to enter the Great Wilderness, the Undying Kingdom, to search for the Tree of Immortality.

Li Changsheng also awoke from his seclusion and headed towards the Great Wilderness.

This time, he will not enter the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor's leaf world; he plans to proceed on his own.

In the late stage of the Five Elements Converging to the Origin, one has no problem resisting those who have merged with the Dao, and already possesses the ability to protect oneself.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor and his group have made great progress in strength and are likely to make a big move. All I need to do is find an opportunity to enter the depths of the Undying Kingdom and find what is calling me.

He hopes everything goes well, but of course, he won't force it if he can't get it.

Nothing is more important than living.

One by one, cultivators headed towards the Great Wilderness, including Li Changsheng. However, this time he did not blend into the crowd but remained in the distance, hidden in the void.

Having comprehended the Great Dao and possessing the ability to conceal himself, even a carefree immortal might not be able to detect him.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor once again opened up the world of leaves, and this time even more cultivators entered it.

The cultivators had already spoken of the benefits, and everyone knew that following the Demon Emperor would bring them good fortune.

Some primordial pearls have even come to join the fun, but as for the Golden Core, it's really too weak.

The Demon Emperor recruited rogue cultivators, while other powerful figures entered the Great Wilderness.

Yang Dingtian looked at Yang Wushang and felt that his elder brother had changed somewhat.

"Brother, let's go together," Yang Dingtian invited.

"No need," Yang Wushang coldly refused. "In a war between the Undying Kingdom and the rest of the land, I will show no mercy!"

After saying this, he led his demon subordinates into the Great Wilderness.

Yang Dingtian sighed softly. Wutian patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. Once we get the Undying Tree, we'll ask the Demon Emperor for a share and give it to your elder brother."

Yang Dingtian nodded. An immortal tree can create many immortal beings.

Li Changsheng entered the Great Wilderness silently, quite satisfied with his ability to conceal himself. Even if he walked right past a ferocious beast that had ascended to immortality, no one would notice him.

The Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor also led the cultivators into the Great Wilderness, heading towards the Undying Kingdom.

Upon arriving at the ruins of the Undying Kingdom once again, Li Changsheng cautiously traversed the void. He discovered that some parts of the void also contained formations.

It's simply impossible to hide in the void and pass through directly.

Fortunately, wherever Yang Dingtian and his group went, the formations were destroyed, unlike the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, who simply left after being suppressed.

There's no danger on the outskirts, so feel free to proceed.

Alone on his journey, without the leaf world of the Heavenly Heart Demon Emperor, the call grew clearer and stronger.

Li Changsheng cautiously crept to the altar again. As he explored the altar, a strange sadness welled up in his mind.

The various tree patterns on the stone seem to have come to life.

Buzz

The next moment, the altar emitted a jet-black light, and throughout the Undying Kingdom, jet-black pillars of light rose from the ground.

From the void came an ancient chant: "In the vast wilderness, the god Yuanqiu descends, immortal and ageless, roaming with the three luminaries..."

The tree pattern on the altar also emitted a dark light at this moment, projecting into the void.

Countless figures appeared, one after another, bowing devoutly and worshipping the trees.

They sang and danced around the campfire, revering the immortal tree, slaying one huge ferocious beast after another, and watering the altar with the beasts' blood.

Rumble

A deafening roar came from ahead, the earth was collapsing, terrifying dust waves swept out, and streaks of dark light gathered in the sky to form dark clouds.

"What happened?"

The cultivators watched in horror as the changes took place in the Undying Kingdom.

The earth ahead was collapsing, and terrifying dust waves, led by the gale, were unleashing a destructive force.

A series of dark figures weaved through the dust...
