Chapter 1366 Offering Oneself to the Demon
"Although you slaughtered the Demonic Sect's 'Holy Domain' and set up the Myriad Immortals Array to purify this demonic land, you did not completely wipe out the ten elders and thirty-six sect masters of the Southern Demonic Sect."

It could even be said that the main lineage of the Southern Demonic Sect has never been broken; it has continued indefinitely.

It's just that the location has changed; it's moved from the mountains of southern Xinjiang to overseas.

"If evil is not eradicated, endless calamities will follow," sighed Grand Tutor Yu.

Master Guan was a little embarrassed and somewhat helpless. He pointed to the volcano below and said, "This 'Burning Heaven' sacred mountain and the 'Ten Thousand Demons City' at its foot have no legs and can't escape. They can be surrounded and wiped out by the army."

But the elders and sect leader of the Demonic Sect can fly.

Seeing that Wanmo City had fallen, they immediately fled, and the Qin soldiers could not catch up.

However, of the ten elders of the Demonic Sect, four died that year, and more than half of the thirty-six sect leaders were killed on the spot.

"Many of the Demonic Sect's sacred artifacts were either destroyed or taken away by immortals and moved to the Xianyang Treasury, becoming spoils of war for the late emperor."

He glanced at her sleeve, his expression turning hesitant. "If the Grand Tutor were to offer sacrifices to Rahu here, wouldn't that reignite the demonic fire and turn this place into a demonic realm?"

Grand Tutor Yu said, "We will proceed step by step, experimenting one step at a time."

"We still need to experiment? Even the Grand Tutor isn't confident!" Master Guan began to worry again.

Grand Tutor Yu said, "This is my first time trying this too, and I don't even have a proper demonic cultivation technique. Do you believe me if I say I'm 100% confident?"

Ying Zheng did indeed "burn books and bury scholars alive," burning all the books he believed were detrimental to the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

This includes the evil arts and spells of the Demonic Sect.

Although he had organized a large number of immortals to study the techniques of the Southern Demonic Sect, what he needed was not a specific demonic spell or secret method.

Grand Tutor Yu sensed that Ying Zheng had also set his sights on the "Heavenly Authority" contained within the Great Dao of Rahu.

Therefore, the research materials in the "Demon Gate Zone" of the Hidden Chamber are mostly about studying the original power of the Southern Demon Sect - the Great Dao of Rahu, rather than deducing the demonic spells and techniques of the Demon Sect.

Even the primordial spirit of the Demon Sect Master, sealed within the crystal ball, had its memories of ordinary demonic arts erased by a Great Luo Immortal with immense power and supernatural abilities, leaving only some secrets of the Demon Sect and insights into Daoist techniques.

At this moment, Grand Tutor Yu had not yet obtained the specific method for cultivating demonic arts.

Of course, even if there were demonic arts or evil techniques, she would not cultivate them.

Back in Western Shu, she was still a mortal martial artist, yet she still gave up dozens of evil techniques and secret arts in Chi Lingzi's mind.

Those who wantonly plunder heaven and earth are practicing heretical and unorthodox methods; those who plunder all living beings are practicing demonic and evil arts; developing one's own potential (immortal bones) and systematically absorbing the essence of heaven and earth is the orthodox path of the Xuanmen (mysterious sect).

Almost all demonic arts and evil techniques involve harming living beings during their cultivation.

Grand Tutor Yu was very cautious. He first flew around the volcano twice, wiping out the caves of several demon cubs, but ignored the naturally generated mountain spirits and ghosts.

Then she led Guan Zhenren into the crater and stopped beside the bubbling lava pool.

Grand Tutor Yu reached out and grabbed a ball of fire elemental energy from the lava pool. After sensing it carefully for a moment, he nodded and said, "It's very pure, without a trace of magic."

You guys were really ruthless back then, no wonder the Old Demon hasn't returned yet.

This place is completely ruined; it's useless to them now. Well done!

She flicked her sleeve towards the lava pool, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~"

Seven or eight items flew out of the sleeves, some hovering in mid-air, others falling into the lava pool and floating and sinking.

"Master Guan, you preside over the ceremony and ignite the demonic fire. I will pray to Rahu."

Despite his worries, Guan Zhenren did not slack off.

He swiftly assembled these sacred artifacts of the demonic sect into a six-pointed star-shaped "Demon Skull Altar": the base was a six-pointed star support, sunk into a pool of magma to draw upon the power of the earth's fire, and above it was a giant "Demon King's Skull" three zhang tall, with a dark red color and a metallic texture.

The flat, broad forehead of the skull served as the altar.

Master Guan participated in the Southern Demon Sect Extermination War of that year. After the great battle, he became a member of the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation," clearing the demonic energy from the earth's veins and fundamentally destroying the feng shui pattern of the area.

To put it simply, it was the Imperial Observatory's original business—severing the "dragon veins" (earth veins) of the demonic sects.

Reconstructing the Demonic Sect's altar at this time was also within his professional scope.

"The Dragon-Han Calamity has begun, and the Great Dao is vying for supremacy. Your discontent will be carried on by us!"

His body is a demonic abyss, his heart a star; the Great Dao of Nirvana is only Rahu!
With blood as the catalyst and soul as the guarantee, ignite the sacred flame, which will live on forever!

As Master Guan chanted the incantation, flames three feet high rose from the Demon Skull altar.

It's located between the eyebrows of the Demon King's skull.

Initially, the flames were normal ground fires of pure color.

Gradually, a black magic flowed from the Demon King's skull, turning it black.

Grand Tutor Yu sensed a familiar aura.

When the Venerable One of Bewitching Mind passed away, the burning black flames became even purer and more primal, and the "demonic smell" of the black flames was somewhat faint.

Even the newly lit "sacred flame" has already begun to spontaneously pollute the surrounding environment.

Originally, the lava pool was a normal bright red or crimson color. But now, as the sacred fire was lit, black demonic light fell into the lava pool, staining the lava with a wisp of black. The demonic light fell on the surrounding rock walls of the crater, and the space around the rock walls became "full of demonic shadows," with distorted demonic shadows projected onto the stone walls.

They were initially just shadows under the lamplight, drawing magic from the shadows and being nurtured by that magic, thus gaining sentience.

You can see the demonic shadows twisting and dancing, their numbers gradually increasing, all bowing and worshipping towards the sacred fire.

"Grand Tutor, you must hurry. The Demonic Sect's Sacred Flame has been lit, and it's clearly polluting the earth's veins and fire here."

"If this goes on for too long, it will surely alert the highly accomplished elders of the demonic sect," Master Guan warned loudly.

Grand Tutor Yu nodded. "I know. But the concentration of the sacred fire is not high enough to summon Rahu's 'Will of Heaven'."

Master Guan was startled and quickly asked, "Grand Tutor, didn't you come here to fall into demonic possession?"

"If I ignite my own magic with the sacred fire and burn all my power, it should be able to transform into 'authentic magic,' right?"

Grand Tutor Yu first absorbed the essence of the Chaos Demon God before creating his own demonic arts and cultivating "Yu Clan Demonic Power".

The true demonic sect within the Pangu world has only one source of power: Rahu, who transformed himself into the Dao when he was on the verge of death.

In short, Rahu possesses a small number of "original shares" in the Heavenly Dao of the Pangu world.

Luo Hou is a Chaos Demon God. Xiao Yu's "Rotten Demon Eye," which plundered the Demon God's essence, is also a Chaos Demon God.

In theory, anything not possessing the power of the Great God Pangu would be considered an anomaly upon arriving in the Pangu world, and regarded as a "demon" by the orthodox Xuanmen sect of Pangu.

Rahu and the owner of the Rotten Eye are clearly two demon gods, possessing two different powers.

Now, Xiaoyu has traveled thousands of miles to the Southern Frontier, entered the Holy Mountain of the Demonic Sect, restarted the sacred fire, and stood on the altar, all to offer herself as a sacrifice to the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

Allow the power of Rahu to enter her body, transforming the "Yu Clan Magic Power" within her into the authentic Pangu Magic Power "belonging to Rahu".

"The source of my magic power is too advanced; ordinary holy fire cannot completely permeate it. Rahu must come in person."

"If He doesn't lower His will, I will certainly not 'submit'," said Grand Master Yu. She wasn't the only "unorthodox sect within the demonic sect" in this world.

Anyone who draws upon the power of external evil spirits is a demonic cultivator, but does not belong to the "Holy Sect".

For example, a group of "black beasts" escaped from the crevice in the Guaizi Mountain in western Sichuan back then.

If a cultivator captures a black beast, becomes greedy for its magical arts, and attempts to convert its power into his own, and does not lose his mind, he becomes the "First Demon Ancestor".

Uh, regardless of his strength, as the first infected, he is theoretically indeed the "Demon Ancestor".

These demonic cultivators, who draw power from monsters and their remains and accidentally become demonic, are despised by the Rahu lineage as "second-rate rogue cultivators."

Unaffiliated cultivators of the Xuanmen sect cannot attain enlightenment, nor can unaffiliated cultivators of the Momen sect attain the Great Dao of Rahu.

It is almost impossible for a rogue cultivator in the Xuanmen sect to transfer to the Xuanmen sect.

For a rogue cultivator from the Demonic Sect to join the Holy Sect, it's relatively simple: obtain permission from the elders of the Demonic Sect, enter the Holy Mountain, stand on the Holy Altar, offer yourself as a sacrifice to Rahu, and become a part of Rahu—let the "black fire" burn your physical body and demonic power, tainting your "rogue cultivator's demonic power" and ultimately transforming it into a lower-level "holy sect demonic power belonging to Rahu."

Even though they are both from the Xuanmen sect, Guan Zhenren's magical power is definitely different from that of Fuqiu Gong; Guan Zhenren's magical power is much lower in level.

The same applies to the Demonic Sect.

Grand Tutor Yu is a genuine "First Generation Demon Ancestor." The demonic power within her body was transformed from the origin of the Demon God, and it is abundant and of high quality (energy level).

Once transformed into the Holy Gate's magic power, she was confident that she could immediately become the "Grand Elder of the Demonic Gate".

However, to convert this high-level "rogue cultivator's magic power," the sacred flame must also be of the highest grade.

After another hour, the holy fire between the Demon King's brows finally stabilized.

Grand Tutor Yu was somewhat disappointed. "The Southern Demonic Sect has indeed had its foundation destroyed by you."

Even if the black flames are allowed to burn freely, this place can never be restored to its former glory.

Guan Zhenren looked around at the volcanic lava space.

The original natural volcanic environment has completely disappeared, and the surrounding area has become a demonic realm.

The black shadows not only twisted but also whispered.

Crimson eyes gleamed in the dark flames, eyes filled with greed and hatred.

He worriedly said, "The Demonic Sect has always claimed that this volcano was formed from a piece of Rahu's spine, so the legend may not be fictional."

Look around you, the places illuminated by the sacred fire are all demonic realms, and demonic spirits have begun to emerge in these realms.

At this time, the demon spirit had just been born, was very weak, and had low intelligence.

If left unchecked, this place, even if it cannot be restored to its former glory, will inevitably become a den of demons.

"A bunch of trash."

Grand Tutor Yu's eyes transformed into black vortexes, and wherever his gaze fell, demonic shadows were forcibly pulled out of the darkness.

"Ahhh~~ Chirp chirp chirp~~~~"

They emitted ear-piercing shrieks, but they couldn't even last a second before turning into twisted and elongated shadows, which entered Grand Tutor Yu's demonic eyes and were easily refined and absorbed by her.

The magic power increased slightly.

The volcanic lava pool space returned to silence.

"Gulp~~" Master Guan swallowed hard and said, "Grand Tutor, your demonic skills have reached their peak. Even the 'orthodox demonic sect' is no match for you."

"Only the authentic can attain the Dao! Only by attaining the Dao can one gain the authority of the Heavenly Dao. What I want is authority," said Grand Tutor Yu.

She didn't know what Hongjun Laozu's current situation was.

Luo Hou, who once vied with Hongjun Laozu for control of the Pangu World, did indeed transform himself into the Dao and forcibly seize a portion of the Heavenly Dao.

Not only are these records found in the Demonic Sect's scriptures, but she has also personally witnessed the Enchanting Heart Venerable's transformation into a Daoist being, experienced the Great Dao of Rahu, and seen Rahu's "World-Destroying Black Lotus" projection.

She didn't care much for the power of the Rahu Path or the authority of the Rahu Demon Path.

The portion of Heavenly Dao authority held by Rahu is what's worth coveting.

She didn't know what the situation was like for a Grand Luo Golden Immortal of the Xuanmen to merge with the Dao. When the Southern Demonic Sect entered the demonic path or merged with the Dao, a very clear "Will of the Demon Ancestor" would descend, leaving a mark directly on the soul.

The powerful "Dao Integration" old demon can even communicate directly with the "Will of the Demon Ancestor".

What does this mean for the "Great Destroyer of Dad"?
—Rahu, Rahu, be my father. My adoptive father lies on his deathbed, and I inherit the family fortune!

This was Xiaoyu's first thought.

Deep within the first layer of thought lies an even more secret ambition: to test the waters with Rahu, this "little old man," and if successful, it would prove that the "great old man (Hongjun Laozu)" could also be taken down using the same method.

Master Guan was unaware of Grand Tutor Yu's true intentions and always felt that entering the demonic path for the power of "merging with the Dao" was tantamount to seeking help from a tiger.

However, having failed to dissuade Grand Tutor Yu before, he didn't want to waste any more words now.

"Waiting like this won't solve anything, Grand Tutor. Let me help you set up the ritual to directly summon the will of Rahu!"

If Rahu's will truly exists, even with a simple altar, if a top-tier 'offering' like the Grand Tutor is placed there, it will surely descend.

Grand Tutor Yu took out a human skin scroll from his sleeve and tossed it to Master Guan, saying, "After Rahu transforms into the Dao, he will be 'Young Master of Heaven'."

The ritual for worshipping Rahu can be performed entirely according to the ceremony for worshipping Heaven; only some details need to be modified.

She sat cross-legged in the center of the altar and once again used the Nine Cauldrons Dragon Control Technique.

“Qiang Qiang Qiang~~~”

One after another, illusory divine cauldrons of Yu the Great appeared around her.

However, she did not load the aura of the Ying clan's ancestral dragon, nor did she activate the human destiny; she only used her own magical power to control the illusory image of the Nine Cauldrons.

In an instant, the nine divine cauldrons erupted in raging demonic flames, resembling demonic artifacts.

She once used the aura of the ancestral dragon to influence the human destiny and communicate with "the heavens": she conveyed her will and then comprehended the will of heaven, without direct dialogue.

Today, she used the "Nine Cauldrons Demon-Suppressing Method" to increase the efficiency of communication with the "Little Heavenly Lord" and strive to be able to have a direct dialogue.

Seeing that she was ready, Master Guan followed the ritual of the Demonic Sect's sacrificial ceremony, made hand seals and chanted the incantation: "Grand Master Yu Fengxian of the Great Qin Dynasty reports to the heavens, the demonic fire forges my soul, the black lotus is my heart."

My body is your blade, my soul is your voice. Within the void and sea of ​​consciousness, I respectfully invite the Dharma Body to descend. I respectfully invite the Demon Ancestor Rahu to descend!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~" The sacred fire on the altar suddenly shot up three zhang high.

In the center of the black flames, a twelve-petaled black lotus flower, as large as a washbasin, gradually emerged.

It spun around a few times, then with a "whoosh," it turned into a dark light and disappeared into Grand Tutor Yu's brow.

"Grand Tutor Yu Fengxian of the Great Qin Dynasty, who wishes to enter the Demonic Sect, submit to me!" A grand voice resounded in her heart.
