From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

However, in a short while, the seven demons followed closely behind the Holy Lord, flying one after another to Hong Kong and the Deer Park, returning to the eternal hell.

But Jiang Liu's actions did not end there. He silently recited the Heart Sutra, introspectively observing the world, observing the world with his wisdom eye, and seeing the entire universe. He then determined the location of the eight great demon gates and chanted the mantra: "Om Lan Jing Fa Jie, Qian Yuan Heng Li Zhen."

In an instant.

The fragments of the Panku Treasure Box converged with righteous and demonic energy, forming eight palm-sized tokens, octagonal in shape, like the Holy Lord's talismans, but with different patterns. The front is engraved with: lotus, drum, folding fan, clapper, gourd, sword, flower, and flute; the back is a hexagram corresponding to the eight major demonic energies.

Eight beams of magical energy, alternating between green and blue, burst forth, harnessing the power of the Zhou Qi Qi (a celestial configuration) to traverse space and accurately strike the eight gates of hell, bringing them back to the world.

Inside Hell.

The eight demons, having just been sealed away and at a loss, sensed that their respective gates had reopened. Without asking why, they all rushed toward their own gates with all their might.

Ximu was the first to reach his own Hell Gate, but as soon as his face touched the blue Hell Gate, he was hit by a hurricane and his body was turned upside down.

The other demons were also in a sorry state. Holy Lord was hit by the water wave, Basha was struck by lightning, Zhong Su felt as if she had crashed into an impenetrable wall, Xiao Feng was scorched by flames, Di Kui was bounced back by a gravitational force, and Bo Gang's Hell Gate became smaller than her thumb, making it impossible for her to squeeze through.

As for Cursed Blue?

Stepping through the gates of hell, one never sees Earth; this is the other side of hell.

"That damned immortal god from another world! Even more despicable than Chen Long, how dare he toy with us like this!" The Holy Lord was furious and spewed raging flames at his Hell Gate, but this time the Hell Gate retaliated not with water, but with a whirlwind, which instantly dispersed the Holy Lord's flames.

"It seems that the immortal god has a rather wicked sense of humor."

Unable to escape, and seeing that the forces used to fight them at the Gates of Hell were different each time, the remaining demons calmed down after their initial anger subsided.

"Perhaps there's a pattern to the attacks from these eight Hell Gates." After a moment's thought, Zhou Lan looked at the lightning erupting from his own Hell Gates and asked the Holy Lord, "What are your thoughts?"

What ideas could I possibly have?

In the Holy Lord's view, these eight gates of hell were completely closed and could not be opened again. Back then, he was able to persuade the other seven guys to work together to send him out of hell because they took advantage of the loophole that the eight gates of hell were not completely closed.

These eight gates to hell are nothing more than curses created by an immortal god from another world, which they do not understand, to annoy them.

Indeed.

The soul can freely enter and leave hell and reality.

But does that mean I have to destroy my own physical body first?

Magic can remain in hell along with the body!

What use was it for him to escape hell with just a soul at that time?

Freedom without power is meaningless!

"By the way, have any of you felt your bodies getting hot?"

Just then, Bo spoke up, "And your bodies are getting taller? Did you eat something good?"

"Fever? What nonsense are you talking about, Bo..."

Bazaar stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

Without him.

It was because Bo Gang's tall figure was starting to shrink!

And it wasn't just Bo Gang; the figures of her, the Holy Lord, and the other demons were all constantly dissipating!

"That immortal god wants to kill us prematurely!"

For the first time, a look of panic appeared on Zhou Lan's face...

# Chapter 902 Little Dragon's Backup Plan

Outside of Hell.

reality.

The celestial sphere of Earth, this "golden embryo," has begun to rotate once again!

The eight gates of hell, representing the acquired Bagua, which were created later in life, were no longer fixed on the acupoints of the innate Bagua. Instead, they began to rotate slowly, adding a touch of order to the disorderly and endless struggle between righteous energy and dark energy, and giving rise to a distant expectation of the fusion of yin and yang into the infinite.

"I felt it!"

Da Yu opened up the eternal mind landscape and received the true teachings of Jiang Liu. At this time, she was in the state of the Five Qi returning to the origin and transforming into the Great Void, connected with the Zhou Qi Qi Bureau. All the positive and negative Qi in the world were added to her Yin and Yang Qi.

Harmonize the Qi of Heaven and Earth with the Qi of the human body.

How can a single human being shake the heavens?

It was also Jiang Liu who used the Panku Treasure Box with the power of the eight great demonic energies to seal the eight great demons, reconstruct the gates of hell, and make the acquired replenish the innate, and the innate lead the cycle of the heavens, so that the balance of yin and yang gradually developed in the direction of yin and yang harmony.

Thus, Da Yu's cultivation path coincided perfectly with the changing direction of the Zhou Qi's fortunes, which is why he was able to obtain such benefits.

Jiang Liu also understood why the principle of Yin-Yang balance had developed to its current state:

This is inextricably linked to the Eight Immortals' sealing of the eight great demons.

Before the birth of the Eight Immortals, the Zhou Qi Qi (a concept in Chinese astrology) was still evolving and required the balance of Yin and Yang. After the birth of the Eight Immortals, the principle of Yin-Yang balance was no longer applicable to the Zhou Qi Qi, and it had to develop in the direction of Yin-Yang harmony.

In their pursuit of pure Yang energy, the Eight Immortals stripped themselves of their Yin energy and evil thoughts...

This ultimately led to the birth of the eight great demons.

In theory, if no forces from other dimensions were involved, according to Jiang Liu's deduction, the Eight Immortals should have subdued the eight great demons, harmonized yin and yang, and finally brought them back to themselves to prove the primordial unity.

However, the very act of sealing away the eight great demons has caused the next step in the evolution of the Zhou Weather Bureau to be abruptly halted at the stage of "yin-yang balance"...

Although the Eight Immortals did not completely seal the Gates of Hell at the beginning, which was a way of giving the eight demons a chance to repent, they were too soft-hearted and did not completely remove the demonic energy from their bodies.

Then the Eight Immortals abandoned their duties again, leaving Earth to explore the vast expanse of space and time, giving the Holy Lord the opportunity to find a loophole, deceive the other seven demons, and return to reality—

If it weren't for the appearance of a formidable figure like Lope who extracted the divine power of the Holy Lord and forcefully plugged the bug in the balance of Yin and Yang, providing an opportunity for the reproduction and survival of mankind, Earth, with its size, might have been destroyed long ago by the conflict between righteous and dark energies!

in short.

The concept of Yin-Yang balance and conflict, when applied to the system of cultivating the "Golden Elixir and Sacred Embryo," is equivalent to a cultivator lacking the ability or knowledge to coordinate Yin and Yang, constantly causing the two energies to fight against each other within the body.

To maintain balance, the quantity of both sides can only be increased simultaneously; that is, whichever is less, the quantity should be increased in that direction.

However, it is impossible to perfectly control the amount of positive and negative energy added, which causes the positive and negative energy to be unable to achieve a complete balance. It can only work from both sides, spiraling upwards incessantly.

Is this okay?

In the short term, it may be able to rapidly increase the combat power of the creatures on the planet, but once it reaches its limit, it will cause the planet to perish instantly!

Using a spiritual practitioner as a metaphor for a planet—

Which orthodox practitioner would go to such lengths to balance the Yin and Yang energies within their body?

At best, it can cause qi deviation and demonic possession; at worst, it can lead to death.

They must have fallen into a quagmire!

If we take the Earth as the elixir and the ecosystem as the sacred embryo, yet fail to harmonize Yin and Yang, and instead relentlessly push the Yin and Yang forces within the body upwards in order to enhance power, how is this any different from the demons described in "Journey to the West" who do not cultivate the Great Way, do not seek enlightenment, but only cultivate supernatural powers to display martial strength, and only seek magic to manipulate the spirit?

Fortunately, Jiang Liu interrupted the future of "yin and yang in chaos, demon blood staining the sky," but Xiao Yu and the others need to personally regulate it in order to completely harmonize the yin and yang of this world.

As the weekly weather pattern changes, the law of yin-yang balance gradually evolves towards yin-yang harmony, and the original magic system of this world will gradually lose its effectiveness.

In the future, it will be nothing short of a pipe dream for wizards and sorcerers to cast spells without undergoing arduous training or being one of the lucky few who are born with innate abilities.

However, it will be quite some time before we reach that future.

At this stage.

The law of yin and yang balance still exists, therefore a demon must remain in the world.

This is the fundamental reason why Jiang Liu has let the demon dragon go on multiple occasions!

He needs to stay in this world a little longer.

reason?

As for himself—

Now that I've taken Xiaoyu as my apprentice, I naturally have to take some responsibility for her. Unlike Zhao Yingkong and Feng Shayan, Xiaoyu is just a child, so of course I need to look after her more.

Besides, this Earth in this time and space is a testament to the "Golden Elixir and Sacred Embryo" path, so he naturally wants to stay and experience it more.

Yu Lujin, Duanmu Ying —

Spending more time in the late 20th century would allow them to learn more about modern and contemporary knowledge and broaden their horizons.

But there is a problem to solve right now.

Mercury clock...

At the same time.

Bull Warrior and Little Snake noticed that Demon Dragon was missing, so they went to look for him. Catherine also took the two children with her and followed, so as not to be left alone and give the lizardman an opportunity.

Before long, the group found a cave.

"My secret base!"

Esther was astonished.

This cave is where she usually studies and experiments with dark magic.

"You actually have a secret base outside?" Catherine realized that she didn't know much about her daughter.

"Mom, everyone has secrets."

Esther made up her mind to change to another base afterward in case her mother suddenly came to check on her.

"Shh!"

The little snake gestured for the two to be quiet, then whispered, "By the way, who are you? Are you also mages?"

No, we are not.

Catherine covered Esther's mouth with a smile, "We're just an ordinary family, hoping for your temporary protection... We can't fight those hideous and terrifying demons."

"The Bull Warriors will protect you!"

The masked bull warrior shouted.

"Shh!"

The little snake's eyes twitched, utterly speechless.
