From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Jiang Liu's eyes blossomed like lotus flowers, having already cracked the artificially set combination lock within the Zhou Weather Bureau, and witnessed the origins of the Holy Lord and the other eight great demons:

The Eight Immortals refined a pure Yang Qi, causing eight Yin Qi to leave their bodies and enter the world to verify the Qi formation of the Eight Trigrams, where they took on different forms.

Because of the innate nature of the Qi, the eight great demons, upon taking form, were connected to the Qi of the Zhou Dynasty, and their demonic power was inexhaustible.

The Eight Immortals also cultivated to the point of reaching the heavens, but being of the same yin and yang nature, they relied solely on their own strength to be on par with the Eight Great Demons, and were even slightly weaker.

Without him.

This is because the eight demons' incarnations are the natural forces of the world, and their size and stature far exceed those of the human body.

Of course—

Acquired factors can compensate for deficiencies in innate constitution, and can also break the innate energy pattern.

Slash-and-burn agriculture, invention and creation.

For ancient humans, these two things were about making up for their innate deficiencies in order to reproduce and pass on their lineage from generation to generation; for nature, they were about using human means to change the innate environment and break through the innate energy pattern.

The same applies to spiritual practice.

Therefore, the Eight Immortals used acquired items and magic spells to defeat the eight great demons. Together, they created the Panku Treasure Box, sealed the innate Bagua Qi position within the Zhouqi Qi Bureau, and set up the Gate of Hell to seal the eight great demons, which were formed from their own Yin Qi and evil thoughts through the Qi Bureau, in order to obliterate their evil thoughts.

"I never imagined the demons had such an origin! They are one with the eight immortal gods!"

The old man couldn't believe it. "How could this be? A complete person has two sides, yin and yang. Once they become unbalanced, it can cause big trouble!"

"There is indeed a big problem; they have created eight demons."

The bull warrior understood and shared his opinion, saying, "After sealing the demon, they left Earth, leaving us with a mess."

"Oh dear! You'll be punished for complaining about the immortal gods!"

Old Man called out, only then did he see the masked Bull Warrior's face clearly—this was the second time the Bull Warrior had come to Old Man's antique shop. Last time, the Bull Warrior didn't know that Tru had reformed and fought with him, breaking many antiques.

Therefore, the old man wasn't too fond of Bull Warrior. Upon seeing him again, he still exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Long! A masked bandit has come to the old man's shop!"

"Dad, he's not a bandit, he's Bull Warrior, the one you saw last time! And Bull Warrior, you really can't take off your mask..."

"Bull Warriors never take off their masks!"

However, before Chen Long could finish speaking, Niu Zhanshi stood up straight with a proud look on his face.

Everyone: "￣□￣｜｜"

Duanmu Ying leaned closer to Jiang Liu, pointed at the Bull Warrior, and whispered, "Is this guy a little crazy?"

"Performance art, just try to understand it, but don't say it out loud in front of people."

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he placed the mask on the table, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and repeated his plan. Then he asked his father, who was trying to smooth things over, "What do you think?"

"Isn't this... too risky?"

Transforming Yin-Yang balance into Yin-Yang harmony —

My dad wouldn't even dare to dream of it!

Indeed.

The balance of Yin and Yang will lead to a constant struggle between the representatives of righteousness and darkness. Even if the eight great demons are sealed in a statue like Shendu, there will eventually be a day when the number of humans is too large, causing the righteous energy to grow to a certain level, making the darkness equal to it, thus reviving the eight great demons, or even giving birth to a new, more powerful demon.

But that was a long time later.

Just like the Holy Lord.

His sealing by Lope brought humanity nine hundred years of peace.

If the person who made the proposal were Da Yu or Chen Long, he would have immediately rejected it, but since the person who made the proposal was Jiang Liu, he had no choice but to give it serious consideration.

Is the goal to force humanity, centuries from now, to simultaneously confront the resurrected eight great demons, or to address the root of the problem: the balance of Yin and Yang, thus solving the problem once and for all, freeing humanity from the torment of this dark energy...?

He glanced at Dayu again, recalling the vision of the future she had described, and sighed. Then he roused himself and looked toward the river.

Perhaps because he was a disciple of the Grand Master and was blessed by righteous energy, the appearance of the river flow he saw was different from that of Chen Long, Xiao Yu, and the others.

Although it also has a human form, with a dignified appearance and refined temperament, it has a subtle fragrance that is refreshing and pleasant. Its body is also filled with radiant light, and there is a faint glow behind its head, just like the immortals, Buddhas, and saints in the temple.

It was precisely because he could see sights that ordinary people could not see that his father called Jiang Liu "the immortal god" the moment he first met him.

So he said, "Then I, your old man, will risk my old bones to completely change the rules of yin and yang balance, so that humanity can be freed from the struggle between righteous energy and dark energy!"

"Dad, you're not being stubborn anymore?"

Xiaoyu happily hugged her father's leg, but was also puzzled.

"Dad isn't old yet; he needs to keep up with the young people."

The old man smiled, patted Xiaoyu's head, and then looked at Tru, "During this trip to Japan, I learned a lot from Tru."

The blade legion summoned by Rasu after donning the Claw Shadow Mask was different from the ghost legions they had encountered before. Old Man's original magic was ineffective; it was Tru who developed a new formula… During this time, Old Man was dejected for a while, but eventually, with the combined encouragement of Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying, he rallied and began to learn from Tru—

A disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, nor a teacher necessarily more virtuous than his disciple. There is a sequence in learning the Way, and each has their own area of ​​expertise; that's all there is to it.

"gentlemen···"

Tru was a little embarrassed.

“Don’t be shy, Tru. Your father isn’t so old that he can’t move. So you have to be open to new things.”

As he spoke, the old man leaned closer to Jiang Liu and whispered, "Jiang Liu, could you write a book of famous quotes from your world for me? I've noticed that many of the sayings there are more meaningful than ours... Only a world without demons can have so many profound truths. I can use these sayings to teach Tru in the future."

"no problem."

The river should flow downstream.

# Chapter 831 The Holy Lord's Scheme

"So, you failed?"

Having obtained the flute imbued with Westwood's demonic energy in Australia and not yet encountered Chen Long and his group, the demonic dragon had no time to rejoice before receiving a communication from Rasu. He learned that the Hanafuda cards had been stolen by his father, Tru, and others, who had also given them their first masks. Rasu reprimanded him, saying, "I really don't know why Valon chose you as his trusted subordinates in the first place."

Scolds are scolded.

In terms of experience dealing with Chen Long's gang, Valon's trio is far more useful than Hanbing, the pizza delivery guy.

"Continue the search for the mask."

"But we don't have playing cards, so we can't find the location of the mask."

"Nonsense! Just follow Chen Long and the others, isn't that enough?"

The demon dragon cursed, "If you manage to get the mask, put it on immediately, summon the Shadow Legion, and go to the Shadow Kingdom to bring me the final tenth mask, Valmont's mask! The ninjas I control cannot grant me that authority!"

As someone who knows the plot, the demon dragon is very clear that the Valmont mask is the key. As long as he finds it and seals Valmont into the mask, then the substitute for the fire demon energy in his body will be complete! The other masks are not so important!

"Valon?"

A puzzled voice came from the other end of the communication line, "Does he also have a mask?"

"It's Tara!"

The little devil slapped his forehead, wondering if he'd lost his temper, then hung up the call and said to the monkey king beside him, "Cartoons just love to translate things haphazardly!"

"Animation? I like watching animation too."

The Monkey King chuckled.

At this point, he had already absorbed Ximu's demonic energy, but he himself did not transform into the demon Ximu of heaven—because he had Jiang Liu's nine-aperture talisman in his body, the moment the demonic energy entered his body, the demonic energy occupied one of the talisman's apertures.

If the Monkey King so desires, he can circulate the demonic energy within this talisman throughout his body, reconstructing his own aura and connecting it with the surrounding qi, thus granting him the claws and wings of a celestial demon.

Once its use is stopped, the demonic energy will flow back into the talisman.

However, the Monkey King himself was unaware of this, and the demon dragon simply assumed that the Monkey King's situation was special, allowing him to freely manipulate demonic energy.

"Let's stop with the small talk. We should go find the next source of demonic energy."

As the demon dragon finished speaking, he froze, sensing a drum within his fiery demonic energy. "It's the demonic energy of the Mountain Demon, Bogang! At this point in time, it shouldn't have been made into chopsticks yet! Let's go to Canada!"

"You're in charge, boss."

The Monkey King had no objections and began to look forward to what he would become after obtaining all eight demonic energies.

At least after acquiring Ximu's demonic energy, he discovered that his magic was not only used for pranks, but could also actually cause harm to others.

This feeling—

very nice!

Only in this way can his magic not just be used for laughs, but can he truly use it to take revenge on Chen Long...

···

“Holy Lord, your son has found my demonic energy.”

The seven demons used magic to project their images and communicate with the Holy Lord, who had already retrieved the twelve talismans and was currently inside a volcanic lava field, comprehending the power of burning.

The first to speak was Ximu, "It's a pity I can't use it to create a child."

"Stop joking around, let's get down to business."

Zhou Lan interrupted west Mu's humor and went straight to the point, "The immortal god didn't interfere, but his henchmen and the old man who sealed us away once took the Hanafuda cards for finding the Ghost Mask and a mask from your son's men."

What do you think is the reason?

"They came from the gates of hell; they are definitely not humans from our world."

Basha's voice was hoarse, "There's a chance that the immortal god doesn't fully understand the situation of our world yet."

"That's true, but he and his two henchmen, like those old guys who sealed us into hell, have mastered the magic of Qi refining."

Zhou Lan's tongue twitched. "Before leaving Earth, those old guys not only sealed us away, but also erased the ability for humans to cultivate powerful magic, leaving only physical training skills, all so that no more beings like us would be born?"

But what's the situation?

Even without us, other demons would still have emerged in the world, like the Shadow Legion...

Now that the gates of hell that sealed us have been completely closed, the law of yin and yang balance has even directly summoned beings from other worlds who can rival us.

If a demon were to be born within this immortal god, it would not be a physical ghost like the Shadow Legion, but would take form like us.

Ximu added, "We don't want another brother."

"Isn't that why we're creating the ninth demon?"
