Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

In reality, the strongest technique pursued by the Zhuge family was not complicated at all. In fact, all the miscellaneous things they learned were preparations for this final thing.

This technique is called Samadhi True Fire.

The term Samadhi is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word Samādhi, also translated as "Samadhi" or "Samadhi".

Samadhi is one of the methods of Buddhist practice, which means eliminating all distracting thoughts and calming the mind.

However, the true fire originates from the internal alchemy practice of Taoism. There are three kinds of fire in the human body: the fire of the eyes, the fire of the mind, and the fire of the movement of qi.

When these three types of fire are combined, with intensified focus and unwavering concentration, it is called "martial fire"; when the focus is relaxed and seemingly absent, it is called "gentle fire".

The Samadhi True Fire of the Zhuge family combines these two concepts, incorporating both Buddhist and Taoist elements. It is a flame ignited by "the spirit of the upper elixir, the qi of the middle elixir, and the essence of the lower elixir" as fuel, specifically designed to burn the souls of all things in the world, making it the nemesis of the soul.

The inner demons in Under One Person are originally derivatives of distracting thoughts and desires, and are naturally restrained by the Samadhi Fire.

Therefore, if Loran wanted to further refine his demon-refining method and go further on the path of the Son of Heaven Moro, he naturally had to pass the test of Samadhi True Fire.

Unfortunately, none of the Zhuge family members currently possess the Samadhi True Fire. The next master of the Samadhi True Fire will not emerge until several years later, when Zhuge Qing encounters the Eight Extraordinary Techniques and begins to question himself.

It's alright, the Zhuge family won't do it, then let me, Luo Lan, do it.

It wouldn't be difficult for Loran to steal the Zhuge family's legacy. Whether it's through external means or by directly peeking into their memories, Loran has plenty of methods.

The Qi circulation diagram of Samadhi True Fire is exceptionally simple, much like the alchemy process. Its core wisdom lies in breaking down complexity and "using simplicity to govern complexity." Although it is called a technique, it is actually a state of being, emphasizing the ultimate control over one's own essence, Qi, and spirit.

Loran extended his finger, and a faint blue flame of "life" ignited at his fingertip. This was the Samadhi True Fire that the Zhuge family had been dreaming of.

Although Loran followed the path of the Son of Heaven, he never stopped refining himself.

Each time he subdues a demon, he must first subdue the demons himself. Demons are utterly devoid of loyalty or righteousness; they are a pure collection of negativity. Even when facing the Emperor Moro, they will seize any opportunity to turn on him.

Each time Loran subdued a horde of demons, it was a test of his own abilities.

Without a demonic heart that transcends all demons, how could one become the free and unfettered Son of Heaven, the Great Sage of Demons?

Even Loran's meditation skills had reached the fourth level—the state of detachment and purity—through this period of training. Therefore, igniting the Samadhi Fire was not a difficult task for Loran.

But soon, Loran discovered something ominous.

That is, he cannot currently create a demon that can restrain the Samadhi True Fire.

Why? Because the Samadhi True Fire discards all complicated external techniques and goes straight to the core; it is a flame fueled by essence, energy, and spirit.

As long as the demon still contains elements of essence, energy, and spirit, it is impossible for it not to be restrained by the Samadhi True Fire.

But this does not mean that the demon is powerless against the Samadhi True Fire.

Just like metals in the real world, no matter how much you improve the process, study the proportions, or create various alloys, they will always melt. This is because the laws of the universe dictate that metals have a liquid phase, and you cannot avoid it.

If we consider the demon as metal, then the Samadhi Fire is the heat source. You can raise the demon's "melting point" to give it strong "high-temperature resistance." As long as the Samadhi Fire's "heat" is insufficient, the demon can suppress it.

So, in the end, it all comes down to the most fundamental cultivation of life force. Just like the battle between Shinigami, it ultimately comes down to the fundamental element of spiritual pressure.

If your spiritual cultivation is insufficient, even if I give you the Samadhi True Fire, you still won't be able to subdue the demon.

Loran extended another finger, and a ball of invisible crimson flame rose up. This was the "Burning Anger Flame," a demon-controlling divine power derived from the "Three Poisons Demon Army's" cultivation of the Wrathful Demon to a certain level.

This flame can also subdue demons, but its principle is different from that of the Samadhi Fire.

The Samadhi Fire burns the essence, energy, and spirit; demons arising from distracting thoughts and desires are merely suppressed incidentally. The "Fire of Burning Anger" is specifically designed to burn away negative emotions that represent anger.

This world also has a similar method to the "Three Poisons Demon Army," namely the Three Corpses Method of Corpse Demon Tu Junfang.

Taoism believes that there are three spirits within the human body, residing in the upper, middle, and lower dantian respectively:

The upper corpse is named "Peng Ju" (or Qing Gu), located at the head, symbolizing a greed for fine clothes and vanity;

The middle corpse is named "Peng Zhi" (or Bai Gu), located in the abdomen, and governs appetite and anger;

The lower corpse is named "Peng Qiao" (or Xue Gu), located at the feet, which arouses lust and murderous impulses.

The Three Corpses are also known as the Three Poisons, which correspond to the three delusions of “ignorance, greed, and anger”.

Tu Junfang came from the Three Demons Sect. Despite the sinister name of this sect, it is actually a righteous sect of Taoism. Its core philosophy is to attain immortality by eliminating the Three Corpses and breaking free from delusions.

Unfortunately, the elders of the Three Demons Sect sacrificed their lives on the battlefield against the Japanese, which ultimately led to the loss of the sect's core inheritance—the Three Corpses Severing Method.

This caused great distress to the later successors of the Three Demons Sect, including Tu Junfang. Tu Junfang only had the method to summon the Three Corpses, but not the method to sever them. Summoning the Three Corpses without severing them would only make them more terrifying.

Tu Junfang thus fell into the trap of self-cultivation, trying every means to complete the method of severing the three corpses.

Loran replied, "Yes, I do."

My "Three Poisons Demon Army" has corresponding methods to subdue demons. Since these three great demon-subduing supernatural powers can restrain the three demons derived from the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, they can naturally restrain the three corpses in the human body.

Luo Lan held Tu Junfang in a somewhat lenient regard. He joined Quanxing not to indulge in depravity, but rather to create a new method for severing the three corpses by observing the three corpses of others.

He could draw out the three corpses of others; how was this any different from the actions of the demonic path? Therefore, Tu Junfang naturally fell into the trap of Quanxing.

The Quanxing sect has almost completely fallen under the "Hehua Zizai Tian Demon Curse," and Tu Junfang is no exception. Luo Lan obtained the inheritance of the Three Demon Sect from his mind, so with the aim of making a move, he revealed the incomplete demon-subduing divine power to Tu Junfang through the Hehua Zizai Tian network.

As for whether Tu Junfang can recover from this setback and perfect his incomplete demon-controlling abilities to a more complete state, thereby reviving the Three Demon Sect, or whether he will continue to sink into depravity and remain trapped in the quagmire of Quanxing, that depends on his fate. In any case, Loran will not lose out.

Loran's path was complete, and every day a large number of demons came and went in his Transformation Free Heaven, bringing him countless pure innate Qi.

Within the Heavenly Demon Network of the Self-Transforming Heaven, sparks of wisdom flash constantly, and countless mysteries of magic are continuously deduced within the Heavenly Demon Network. Loran only needs to dominate the entire network and then harvest the fruits of wisdom that have taken shape.

Not only Quanxing, but also many so-called prestigious sects and even foreign "friendly people" have joined in as the influence of the "Otherworldly Freedom Mantra" spreads.

Loran was even able to spy on the company's internal affairs through certain Tianmo Network users within the Nadutong Company. Hmm... it seems the company's crackdown isn't going very smoothly.

Chapter 77 Under One Person: Extending Abroad

With the addition of some "friendly people" from abroad to the Tianmo Network, Loran's pressure has increased.

Never underestimate anyone; there will always be a few smart people in a group.

For example, some newly joined supernatural beings began to peer into the source of the "Otherworldly Demonic Curse," and some intelligent people, such as sorcerers, even suggested that its source might come from the mysterious "inner vision."

Some have tried to use the power of sorcerers to figure out Loran's background, but who is Loran? He is both a demon and a sorcerer.

He even learned the Wuhou Qimen Dunjia, so why would he be afraid of other sorcerers' divinations? Therefore, it was natural that those people returned empty-handed.

It's not just warlocks who pose a threat. Some people from abroad, such as Behemoth, have noticed the commotion Loran has caused and have even deliberately sent people to join the Heavenly Demon Network, then tried to study Loran using a combination of science and supernatural techniques.

However, Loran was not in a hurry to deal with these people. After all, he couldn't be the only one to perform in this world, could he?

To struggle against the heavens is an endless source of joy;

Fighting against the earth is endlessly enjoyable;

Fighting with others is endless fun.

It was through constant struggle with these intelligent people that Loran's cultivation and wisdom advanced by leaps and bounds, and his divine power became increasingly perfect.

While Loran was cultivating and busy outwitting these "friendly people," he suddenly spotted some unusual and treacherous individuals.

Although Loran said that this world has severely separated the Inhumans from the ordinary people, as the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

When a nation or a civilization is struck by disaster, neither the extraordinary nor the ordinary people living within it can escape it.

During those humiliating years in the early 20th century, the invasion of the East by the Little People was comprehensive. It included not only military, but also economic, political and cultural spheres, and even the realm of the supernatural was not spared.

A large number of ordinary people with supernatural abilities followed the Japanese army to join the invasion of China, and the anti-Japanese situation in this world was divided into a battlefield for ordinary people and a battlefield for supernatural beings.

Especially in the Northeast, which was occupied by the Japanese army for a long time, many Japanese spies took root and lay dormant there, and their presence continued into the new century.

Loran peered around using the senses of a short, middle-aged man who had just been implanted with a demonic seed, and a murderous intent suddenly arose within him.

This was once Fengtian, Chinese territory. Yet this secluded villa on the outskirts of Fengtian is decorated in a distinctly Japanese style. The people kneeling inside are not friendly figures visiting China for exchange or business, but rather a group of malicious, petty eccentrics.

The short, middle-aged man whose senses were being used by Loran handed out a disc, a brand-new communication tool from Loran's updated version.

"Kikawa-kun, is this the vessel for the Demon King Curse, which is feared by many household spirits? It's just such an inconspicuous CD?" a middle-aged woman in a women's suit asked.

"Hi, Mrs. Mi, it's this little CD." The man named Mu Chuan spoke respectfully, clearly indicating that the middle-aged woman who asked the question held a high position.

A withered hand carefully picked up the disc. It belonged to a thin old man in a kimono sitting next to Kikawa. He examined the disc carefully and then exclaimed, "Despicable! What an exquisite creation!"

The middle-aged man in a suit, who was kneeling at the head of the table, immediately spoke up: "Lord Yamamoto, have you discovered anything?"

It's no wonder that Tengchuan Qingxi was respectful. This old man surnamed Yamamoto Chong was a rare weapon refiner, a master craftsman who could be called a "master" in his hometown. However, his early deeds made it difficult for him to return to China, so he went into hiding in Fengtian under the pseudonym Yamamoto Chong.

Yamamoto revealed a fascinated smile, opening his mouth which had been filled with many teeth, and said, "Tengchuan-kun, don't underestimate this disc just because it's not a magical artifact. The crafting technique is definitely not simple. The person who crafted it has grasped the essence of crafting and transforming objects. The simpler the technique, the more it demonstrates the superb skill."

"I bet they created this disc with a single burst of Qi. With that kind of skill, crafting magical artifacts would be no problem at all. Their crafting skills far surpass mine!"

The old man's analysis was correct. Loran not only learned the weapon-refining techniques of this world, but also had some knowledge of the Divine Refinement Technique. He also integrated the forging techniques of "Myriad Transformations Demon Weapon" and the spiritual particle weapons of the Death God world. He was definitely a grandmaster in the art of weapon refining, and he could easily create even magic treasures.

"I see." Tengchuan Qingxi nodded.

Then he turned to look at Kikawa and asked, "Kikawa-kun, you've already heard about the curse inside, haven't you?"

Mu Chuan nodded quickly: "Yes, sir, I have already heard about it."

"how do you feel?"

Mu Chuan recalled the events and then reported his feelings, which were basically the same as those of the Quanxing group.

Tengchuan Qingxi waved to the black-clad man serving behind him, and the man stepped out from behind Tengchuan, took Muchuan's wrist, and probed into it with his Qi.

Mu Chuan dared not resist and allowed the man in black to examine his body.

After a while, the man in black withdrew his Qi and reported back to Teng Chuanqingxi.

"Reporting to the chief, Mu Chuan-kun's cultivation has indeed improved significantly compared to the past few days. Moreover, according to my observation, I have not seen any weakness in his foundation or any other abnormalities."

Loran's demonic seed has traversed four worlds, achieving a state of formlessness and intangibility, directly rooted in his essence, energy, and spirit. At least, this man in black would have absolutely no way of detecting any problems. Moreover, Loran's demonic seed has withstood the tests of many talented individuals in this world and continues to improve.

After some time, Loran assured that even the old master might not be able to detect the demonic seed before it takes effect.

"Yoshi." Fujikawa Yoshiki nodded happily. "I'm taking this back to Japan and handing it over to the chairman and the directors for their research. Kikawa-kun, you deserve credit for this."

Mu Chuan nodded and bowed hurriedly: "I am extremely grateful for the guidance of the chief."

Loran smiled. There are a lot of big shots in the country, each with profound knowledge and skills, keeping their abilities hidden.

As for Behemoth, although their foundation is still shallow and they are prone to courting death, they are technically proficient, combining science and superpowers. Luo Chuan cannot afford to be reckless and must be on high alert at all times to deal with their attacks.

Nathan Island has a sacred tree, and he has been preoccupied with studying its mysteries.

And what about their daily lives? In terms of cultural heritage, they are far inferior to those in China.

In terms of hegemony, power, technology, and even innovation, he is far inferior to Behemoth.

Lorraine was eager for someone to extend his influence to his daily life.

He still needs to observe the situation for a while due to various taboos among the various lineages and communities within the country, and it's not advisable to make any moves for the time being. But what about the eight million gods of the Little Life? Hehehe, just wait for the favor of the King of Moro.

Although Loran had made plans to tidy up his life, he still had things to do before he could actually start.

Inside the interior, there was a peculiar little thing, slippery and slippery, which he couldn't catch several times.

According to Loran's observation, the other party should be the most mysterious one among the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, Gu Qiting, who has mastered the "Great Luo Cave View".

The core ability of "Da Luo Dong Guan" is naturally "observation," which is the supreme and wondrous method of the Qi system. Gu Jiting seems to be able to freely enter and exit the inner landscape through "Da Luo Dong Guan," observing the present world from the inverted spacetime inner landscape.

The opponent, relying on the "Great Luo Cave Observation," roamed freely within the inner realm, already displaying some of the demonic qualities of Loran, which prevented Loran from catching him at first.

However, the other party's influence on the real world was also firmly blocked by Loran. He had to hide himself in the inner world at all times and could not send any messages to the real world.

Now that Loran wants to temporarily leave "Hehua Zizaitian" to live a simple life, he naturally has to eliminate this hidden danger in advance.

Gu Qiting was able to come and go freely, and no one could catch him, because he was somewhat detached from the real world. As Su Shi once said, "You can't see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the mountain."

Being in the mountains, you can't see the whole mountain range, but once you leave the mountains and climb to another peak, you can observe the original mountain range as clearly as looking at the lines on your palm.

As for the method of locking, it's the same old saying: the real boss is the boss in the real world.

"Da Luo Dong Guan" can transcend the Qi of the present world, but since he is not a true immortal, he is only partially transcendent and not truly "outside the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements." Gu Jiting still has many karmic ties in the present world, the most typical example being that the Gu family bloodline still exists in the world, hidden in anonymity.

The Gu family, after all, was a renowned family of sorcerers for generations, proficient in Qimen Dunjia and Feng Shui Qi formations, and their ability to avoid disasters was first-rate. As a result, some members of the Gu family escaped the persecution of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques by those crazy supernatural beings during the "Jiashen Rebellion".

However, for Loran, these Gu family bloodlines were not hidden perfectly.

With a plan in mind, he quickly extracted enough Qi from the surviving members of the Gu family bloodline. Relying on the bloodline connection, he used the Heavenly Demon Divine Power to pinpoint the location of Gu Jiting in the inner landscape.

The enormous body of the Demon King destroyed the hiding place that Gu Qiting had set up for himself and seized his body with one hand.

The deep blue Samadhi Flame ignited, the nemesis of sorcerers. Gu Jiting's soul was quickly refined, and his memories were completely extracted.
