Chapter 417: Chapter 324 [Debate of Immortals and Demons, Wandering the Primordial] (Seeking Subscription)_2
Xuanqing has an incarnation permanently residing in the Buddha Realm, discussing Buddhist Law with Jieyin and Zhunti, and another incarnation has transformed into the Huiyue Demon Lord in the Demon Realm, establishing the Jie Sect and overseeing the Heart Demon Lineage. Having studied the Great Dao of the mind intricately, it is natural for him to immediately discern the flaws in Nezha’s Dao Heart.
Moreover, from Zhu Zhao and You Ying, he acquired a fragment of the "Creation Jade Disc," which contains the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of the mind.
With an uncertain initial resolve, insufficient confidence, excessive caution, and difficulty in maintaining perseverance, coupled with his inherent demonic nature, these are the reasons why Nezha is susceptible to erosion by demonic energy.
"The human heart is ever-changing, but the Dao Heart remains steadfast. On the path of cultivation, there are too many temptations, and no one is always free from setbacks and failures!"
"Only by overcoming the hearts of negligence, impatience, arrogance, greed, stinginess, resentment, stinginess, and jealousy, while strictly adhering to your initial resolve, strengthening your confidence, maintaining your caution, and having a fearless heart filled with the determination to forge ahead, can you achieve a Dao Heart without impurities, akin to Yang Jian who is not exploited by external demons!"
Xuanqing meticulously analyzed Nezha’s problems. Although his power was not much different from Yang Jian’s, in terms of Dao Heart he was far inferior to Yang Jian.
This is also why the disciples of the Chan Sect’s third generation have Yang Jian as their leader!
Of course, this problem is not unique to Nezha; many cultivators face it as well, like the Intelligent Stone Monkey, Qitian, who faces issues similar to Nezha’s.
It’s just that...
Daoist Duobao noticed this issue and discussed it with Xuanqing, leading Xuanqing to develop this supreme scripture for tempering the Dao Heart.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Nezha hurriedly bowed in gratitude; this scripture indeed explained his issues well.
As for the illusory Dao Heart that Xuanqing integrated into Nezha, it was cultivated by Xuanqing himself. To ensure Nezha wouldn’t truly fall into the Demon Path in the upcoming plans, it was temporarily lent to him.
Taiyi True Master was shocked: "Is the Dao Heart something that can be lent out as well?"
Although he knew Xuanqing was somewhat unconventional and often researched rather deviant Divine Skills, he had never thought that through the Great Dao of the mind, one could lend out their own Dao Heart!
"Why not?"
Xuanqing smiled slightly: "If the Dao Fruit and Mana can be lent, why can’t the Dao Heart be? If Taiyi Daoist is interested, I can also lend my Primordial Dao Fruit to Daoist for some enlightenment!"
"Really?"
Taiyi True Master was overjoyed.
If he could peer into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth from the perspective of a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, he would surely gain immense benefits and perhaps even find an opportunity to attain the Dao of Primordial Chaos!
"Naturally!"
Xuanqing nodded: "I have previously lent my Dao Fruit to Senior Brother Duobao! However, since our Great Dao are similar, I cultivated Dao while he cultivated Artifact Dao, there was no impact! As for you, Taiyi Daoist, your Great Dao is vastly different from my Refining Dao, if you cannot stabilize your Dao Heart, it could easily be influenced by my Great Dao!"
In Xuanqing’s view, among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, the one most likely to achieve the Dao of Primordial Chaos is not Guang Chengzi or Chi Jingzi, but Taiyi True Master, who had long found his path.
While other cultivators pursued the Daluo Dao Fruit, Taiyi True Master had elevated his Taiyi Dao Fruit to the extreme.
Every realm in the Immortal Dao is essentially about developing a certain characteristic to the extreme, and each has the potential to achieve the Dao of Primordial Chaos.
In the Primordial World, at the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, Taiyi True Master was absolutely unequaled!
He naturally wished to form a good relationship with him!
If Taiyi True Master could evolve the Taiyi Realm to a level comparable to that of a Saint, it would significantly aid his deduction of the Mythical Realm.
Rumble!
With a thought from Xuanqing, the Dao Fruit split in two, with one half falling into Taiyi True Master’s auspicious cloud, merging with his Dao Fruit.
"The Immortal caresses my head, tying my hair granting me longevity. The Saint caresses my head, the Great Dao is like a bright lamp!" Taiyi True Master’s eyes flashed with a sharp light: "So this is how the world appears in the eyes of a Saint?"
As for Nezha...
Seeing Taiyi True Master enter an enlightenment state, he left Mount Tai according to Xuanqing’s instructions, seeking ways to infiltrate the Demon Path faction.
He appeared in the human world and, upon seeing numerous cultivators criticizing him, immediately went on a killing spree, slaying those who insulted him and the Chan Sect.
This was the principle that Xuanqing taught him!
Since words couldn’t persuade them, then use the "Qiankun Ring" to subdue them!
Meanwhile, after exiting his enlightenment state, Taiyi True Master immediately returned to Kunlun, instructing Guang Chengzi to issue a statement expelling Nezha from the Chan Sect!
"Interesting!"
Luo Hou also heard the news and couldn’t help but sneer: "Severing a limb of the hero, the righteous cut, indeed fits the Chan Sect disciples’ temperament!"
He originally intended to see how the Chan Sect would handle this matter, but he did not expect Guang Chengzi to directly expel Nezha from the Chan Sect!
Upon thinking of this, he immediately used the Demon Seed to control a cultivator to find Nezha: "The Immortal Dao is full of hypocritical people, expelling you from the Chan Sect over rumors! Nezha, little friend, you were born of a Demon Pill; you are naturally fated with our Demon Path!"
Nezha, however, paid no heed, and with a thrust of his spear, slew the cultivator: "You damned fool, how dare you appear before me!"
He wasn’t a fool; despite wanting to infiltrate the Demon Path, being too proactive didn’t fit his character and would only cause Luo Hou to doubt his intentions.
Thus, he did not explicitly express any stance and instead responded by killing the cultivator in front of him.
He sneered, "Neither demon nor immortal, Heaven and Earth have their own Li Nezha! Whether to go or to stay, life and death reside only in my heart. Neither Demon Path nor Immortal Path can bind me, Li Nezha! Whether demon or immortal, it shouldn’t be for you to decide!"
Nezha acted with extreme rebellion, looking down upon everything, with one foot stepping into the Immortal Path and the other into the Demon Path, not putting Luo Hou, the Demon Ancestor, in his eyes.
Yet, the more he behaved this way, the happier Luo Hou became, for in his view, the Demon Path should not be bound, and Nezha was naturally meant to be a seed of the Demon Path!
"Interesting!"
He began to repeatedly entangle with Nezha.
He even descended an avatar to personally explain the mysteries of the Demon Path to Nezha and attempted to make Nezha the representative for the Demon Path in the Primordial World!
But Nezha showed indifference: "The Demon Path is nothing but a stray dog! If the Demon Path were truly as powerful as you claim, why dare not descend upon the Primordial World and instead stir trouble from behind?"
He aimed to provoke Luo Hou, testing the chance of coaxing Luo Hou’s true form to descend upon the Primordial World.
...
Elsewhere, the battle within the Space-Time River also came to an end, with the Dark Demon God being vanquished, and the Destruction Demon God and Death Demon God being suppressed and refined.
Of dozens of Chaos Demon Gods, only the Order Demon God and Tide Demon God managed to escape.
The rest were either annihilated into void by Pangu’s True Body and Primordial Heavenly King Dharma Form, or refined into Innate Treasures by Xuanqing with his supreme methods!
Of course, the Primordial Saints were also not left unscathed, with everyone, except a few like the Three Pure Ones, Twelve Ancestor Witches, Xuanqing, Fu Min, and Nuwa, essentially bearing wounds and having their aura utterly weakened.
"Proceeding like this is not viable!"
Zhen Yuanzi couldn’t help but sigh: "Saints of the Three Paths of Heaven, Earth, and Human, although they can restore their injuries using the origins of the Three Paths, it all consumes the origin of the Primordial World. If such great battles continue, the Primordial World might enter the End of Dharma era because of this!"
As an Earth Dao Saint, he could feel the ongoing weakening of the Earth Dao’s power, for they have consumed too much Earth Dao’s strength during this period.
The same goes for the Heavenly Dao and Human Dao!
Even with the support of the Sky-reaching Jianmu and the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation" of the Ancient Starry Sky transforming Spiritual Energy, it couldn’t keep up with the rate of depletion by the Primordial Saints.
Due to the incessant extraction of the forces of the Three Paths by the Saints, coupled with the outbreak of the Five Turbid Evil World calamity within the Primordial World, the cultivation environment of the Primordial World is deteriorating at an alarming pace.
"Why don’t we abscond with the Primordial World?"
Observing the worn-out Saints, Xuanqing proposed a bold idea: "Let us join forces to take the Primordial World to the Chaos Origin Sea, leveraging Pangu’s hidden strategies there to fend off these Chaos Demon Gods?"
He had previously considered forsaking the Primordial World, using Fu Min’s "Chaos Pearl" to bring the living beings of the Primordial World into the Chaos.
But this was unanimously opposed by the Saints!
Having taken form in the Primordial World and attained their Dao therein, how could the Saints easily abandon it?
Hence, Xuanqing resorted to the alternative "Roaming Primordial" plan, intending to carry the Primordial World to Pangu’s place of transformation, activate Pangu’s hidden strategies, and have Pangu confront those Chaos Demon Gods!
After all...
In dealing with Chaos Demon Gods, who would be more professional than Pangu?
