Chapter 301 Xing Tian! The Great Free Heaven Demon Lord! (Bonus chapter for every 18,000 average subscriptions)

(It's been a while since I've added an extra chapter. I have two chapters saved up, so I'll add one more.)
The majestic Mount Tai rises abruptly from the ground and soars into the sky.

Where the mist and clouds rise and fall, the green peaks pierce the nine heavens; when the sea of ​​clouds surges, the azure dragon appears and disappears in the eighteen bends.

Watching the sunrise from Taiping Peak, one sees the golden sun bathed in blood, with purple clouds rising from the east, and all the valleys and cliffs bowing their heads. Listening to the pine waves before Zhangren Peak, one can almost hear the bells of Qin Shi Huang's Fengshan ceremony and the drums of Emperor Wu of Han's sacrificial rites to Heaven, as if the souls of emperors from a thousand years ago have not yet faded.

The stone cliffs bear the traces of Yu the Great, and the ancient cypress trees with their gnarled branches conceal the traces of immortals.

This is the backbone of heaven and earth, the soul of China.

The sea of ​​clouds is surging.

A bearded man dressed as a Taoist priest gazed at the vast land and let out a soft sigh. He turned to look at his disciple behind him and said softly, "The Ziwei Anomalous Manifestation has occurred; the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord has descended upon the world."

"Disciple."

"Take my sword and go down the mountain."

The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with extremely bright eyes. He looked reluctant to leave, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. However, the Taoist waved his hand, and the wind and clouds of heaven and earth transformed into a primordial energy, as if riding on clouds and mist, sending the boy down the mountain. The boy carried a sword on his back, pure yang like fire, with its own Taoist charm contained within it.

I do not know how long it has been.

Deep within the sea of ​​clouds, a graceful figure emerged, riding the wind. His long beard flowed freely, and his face was as handsome as jade. The essence of heaven and earth resided beneath his feet, causing the sea of ​​clouds to ripple and the pure energy to arise from his single thought, stirring the veins of the Five Sacred Mountains.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, how have you been?"

The man's appearance was so obscure that it seemed impossible to see clearly. If one looked closely, he appeared to have a thousand faces and a myriad of features, the epitome of an emperor, the ruler of heaven and earth, and the supreme being of all things.

On top of the cliff.

Fellow Daoist Lü slowly rose, gazing at the person standing a hundred feet away above the sea of ​​clouds, and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"It's been a long time since we last met. Your cultivation has improved even more."

Both of them were at the level of immortals in their time. Throughout the long history of China, there were very few people who could achieve such a level of cultivation in the mortal realm.

The fellow Daoist Zhang rode the clouds and landed on the summit of Taiping Peak. He looked down upon the heavens and the earth, and the two stood side by side. After an unknown amount of time, the man turned around and softly asked, "What do you think of my Jade Emperor Temple, fellow Daoist?"

Master Lü remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you truly intend to steal the destiny of heaven and earth and attain the Dao of the Jade Emperor?"

In an instant.

The earth veins of the Five Sacred Mountains trembled, as if an immense force had collided. The Dao of Heaven and Earth split, Yin and Yang separated, and the sea of ​​clouds churned. The two people were as close as if they were worlds apart, no longer in the same dimension.

The human world was severed here, and strange phenomena appeared around Master Lü, with purple energy gathering, as if this world could no longer contain him.

Zhang Daoren remained silent for a long time, but his body had isolated himself from heaven and earth, suppressing the aura of Mount Tai.

The man bowed and said, "Please, Fellow Daoist Lü, ascend to heaven."

As soon as the words "ascend to heaven" were uttered, countless rays of light appeared in the sky, as if someone were ascending to heaven on a cloud. The ethereal music of immortals, the sounds of morning bells and evening drums, seemed to tear open a gap in the heavens.

Lu Daoren remained unmoved. As the number one immortal in the world, he did not want to ascend to heaven, and no one could force him to do so.

He stood atop Mount Tai, gazing upon the mountains and rivers of the nine provinces, his voice resonant and distant: "The Supreme God of Heaven, suppress the destiny of the nine provinces."

"It has remained unchanged since ancient times."

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, if you want to steal the secrets of heaven, aren't you afraid that the world will collapse, China will suffer, and all living beings in the land will be devastated?"

The Taoist priest looked calm and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Lü is overthinking it."

"If I attain enlightenment, I will become the Jade Emperor."

"It is only right to suppress the destiny of the Nine Provinces, slay the extraterrestrial demons, and deter the gods of the barbarians in all directions, so as to protect the Nine Provinces and China for thousands of years."

Master Lü asked in a deep voice, "For a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations?"

"Fellow Daoist Zhang has seized the destiny of China and presumptuously used the dynasties of the mortal world to help himself prove his Dao. I, the humble Daoist, have used the Great Derivation Number to deduce the changes in heaven and earth, and I have only seen the north and south separated, the nine provinces fall, and the Chinese clothing and culture destroyed."

Zhang Daoren remained unmoved and calmly said, "Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking it."

"Your Great Derivation Number is obscured by the secrets of Heaven, so you naturally see the evolution of the Heavenly Demon. In the future, with my authority to suppress the destiny of the Nine Provinces, China will have no worries."

Upon hearing this, Master Lü was furious but laughed, "Good! Good! Good!"

"What a fine Jade Emperor!"

"What a magnificent line, lasting for eternity!"

"This humble Taoist priest is not talented."

"For the sake of China's destiny and to restore the true name of heaven and earth, I'm afraid I must seek guidance from you, fellow Daoist!"

The Supreme God of Heaven.

The Chinese bloodline has been worshipped since ancient times, unchanged for thousands of years. If this person wants to steal the secrets of heaven, seize the power of the Jade Emperor, and become the Jade Emperor, he must first ask the sword in his hand if it agrees.

"Why must Fellow Daoist Lü do this?"

The Taoist priest sighed and slowly said, "If you ascend to heaven today, my friend, and fly away on a cloud, this world will have nothing to do with you anymore."

"You too can attain great freedom and ease, unrestrained and roaming freely throughout the three thousand worlds."

A mocking smile appeared on Lu Daoren's lips as he said, "Great freedom? Great ease?"

"Fellow Daoist Zhang knocked down all the stars in the sky."

"The Twenty-Eight Mansions and the Twelve Earthly Branches have all been reincarnated in the mortal world."

"Beyond Heaven and Earth."

"Even the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord was drawn here by your act of stealing heavenly secrets, so how can you claim to be carefree and at ease?"

"I'm afraid it's not that the heavens are unleashing their killing intent, causing stars to shift and constellations to change, or that the earth is unleashing its killing intent, causing dragons and snakes to rise from the land."

Zhang Daoren remained silent.

After a long while, he finally said, "The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord came because of me, so I should rise up to meet this calamity and kill him to prove his Dao!"

"There's no need for Fellow Daoist Lü to worry."

The mockery on Lu Daoren's face intensified as he slowly said, "Kill the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord?"

"Fellow Daoist, you have quite the arrogance."

"You have not yet attained enlightenment, what gives you the confidence to kill the Great Freedom Heaven Demon Lord?"

Zhang Daoren calmly replied, "I have my own way."

"There's no need for you to worry, fellow Daoist."

"We respectfully invite Fellow Daoist Lü to ascend to heaven!"

Ascending to heaven.

When these two words reappear, the world changes, stars shift and constellations change. The summit of Mount Tai seems to be isolated, and all the stars in the sky appear in the firmament. A path to heaven breaks through this world, which is the proof of breaking through the void, ascending to heaven, gaining great freedom, and entering and leaving the great world.

Zhang Daoren wanted to force him to ascend to heaven. No one in this world could be allowed to remain who could threaten his path to becoming the Jade Emperor.

As the celestial secrets unfold and the destiny of the Chinese nation coalesces, the Song Dynasty is about to rise, and the emperor will be crowned with the yellow robe.

He wanted to use the destiny of the Nine Provinces to become the Jade Emperor. He needed to establish a human dynasty, borrow a scroll of heavenly book, bestow titles upon the gods, perform the Fengshan ceremony on Mount Tai, seize the creation of heaven and earth, and establish the Jade Emperor Temple on the summit of Mount Tai.

There will never be another paradise on earth.

The Great Freedom Demon Lord has descended to earth. As long as there are no more immortals in the world, even if the Great Freedom Demon Lord has the supernatural power to steal people's cultivation, he will not be a match for him.

At that time, he can slay the Heavenly Demon to prove his Dao, kill the Great Free Heavenly Demon Lord, destroy his physical body and annihilate his primordial spirit, and with this achievement become the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the Supreme Being of all things.

However, the destiny of Chinese civilization has been lost, and it is unlikely that the Song Dynasty will ever achieve a "great unification". The Chinese civilization left by Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Taizong of Tang may still have some civil achievements, but its military achievements have been completely destroyed.

Even if in the future, when the stars shine brightly and the world is rich in resources, and the power of the stars illuminates the human realm, it probably still won't save martial arts.

Cause and effect backfire.

The Central Plains dynasties placed the greatest importance on the Mandate of Heaven, but the Song Dynasty lost the Mandate of Heaven, and no amount of heroes could save it. Even if a general were born, he would die unjustly.

If the secrets of heaven are intercepted, the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai will be completely destroyed.

The throne of the human emperor was usurped.

Future emperors would probably consider this dynasty's Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai a laughing stock, as it marked the complete end of the millennia-old Chinese tradition of the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

The land was overthrown, the gentry fled south, and blood was shed at Yai Shan.

The spirit of the Chinese nation remains, but the might of the Han and Tang dynasties is gone forever.

The descendants of Yan and Huang have been able to wage war for thousands of years, but in the next few hundred years they will be punished by the karma of heaven and earth.

The Chinese dynasties did not respect the Heavenly Emperor, but foreign tribes praised the Eternal Heaven.

In the name of Heaven, let us vie for supremacy in the Central Plains!

The Great Derivation Number, which deduces the changes in heaven and earth, is like a thread of causal law.

Lu Daoren's killing intent had been aroused. As the number one immortal in the world, he tore through the void and borrowed the pure yang power of heaven and earth, transforming it into a long sword in his palm.

This person must never be allowed to attain enlightenment!

The Supreme God of Heaven is the legitimate successor of the Chinese nation, suppressing the destiny of the nine provinces, and has existed since ancient times. How can there be any talk of the Jade Emperor?

—Xingtian!
Lu Daoren's mind was made up; this battle was unavoidable. Among the immortals of this world, only he remained in the mortal realm, and only he could fight this person.

Even if he loses this battle.

Murderous intent!
The Great Free and Unfettered Demon Lord will descend upon the world.

He will carry out the execution on behalf of Heaven!

If he cannot overcome the tribulation of Xing Tian, ​​then the name of the Jade Emperor is nothing but a joke.

If he can attain enlightenment and kill the Great Freedom Heaven Demon Lord, then Master Lü will believe that he has the strength to suppress the destiny of the Nine Provinces!

"please!"

A sword light pierced the sky, a rainbow pierced the sun, the world changed, and myriad rays of light rose up, as if someone was ascending to heaven on a cloud, shattering the void and tearing apart the spatial laws of this world.

Zhang Daoren's expression gradually became solemn, and he sighed softly, "Then this humble Taoist will seek guidance from the Pure Yang Sword Immortal!"

The moment the words "seeking guidance" were uttered, the essence of heaven and earth condensed, and the law followed the words.

The entire Mount Tai seemed to be isolated, and the ghosts and gods of all directions were silent as cicadas in winter. The city gods and local deities of the time all trembled in fear.

From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the present.

He had been planning to become the Jade Emperor for a long time, and there was no way he would give up now and fail at the last hurdle. He had gone through countless lifetimes.

The world is rife with murderous intent, and the fate of China is fluctuating wildly. Buddhism has already seized a portion of that fate. If one cannot attain enlightenment in this life, there will be no other chance in future generations.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a Taoist named Zhang Jiao said: "The Azure Heaven is dead, and the Yellow Heaven shall rise."

How could he not take God's place!
As long as he can attain enlightenment, he will have his own way to suppress the destiny of the Nine Provinces and prevent the entire land of China from falling into the hands of foreign races. One day, when he recovers the land, he will surely be able to return to 'great unification'.

At that time, the stars in the sky will be at his disposal, the world will be full of natural treasures, heroes will be born, and generals will shine brightly.

How could they possibly fail to save a dynasty from its fate?

He has his own way of restoring the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties.

The fortune borrowed today will be returned to the land of China in the future.

The cause and effect have been established.

There is no way to retreat.

For today's battle, we can only ask Fellow Daoist Lü to ascend to heaven.

As long as there are no more immortals in the world, even if the Great Freedom Demon Lord descends to earth, relying on some mortal martial arts techniques and secret arts, he would not be his match.

………………

The sky was ablaze with countless rays of light.

Perhaps because a group of demons and monsters in the Valley of Evil were slain, the sunset glow tonight is exceptionally beautiful. Looking at it, it seems as if someone is about to ascend to heaven on a cloud.

"The potential of this world is so high."

"Perhaps the rumors of ascending to heaven amidst the clouds and shattering the void are true!"

"But where did it go after shattering the void?"

"Heaven?"

Does this world truly have a Heavenly Court?

"So many schools of thought from various schools of thought have been scattered throughout the martial arts world. The Heavenly Court is just a myth created by the Taoist sect later. Even though Taoism is one of the three major religions, it would be difficult for them to actually create a Heavenly Court."

"So?"

"Have those people ascended to a higher dimension? Have they become a different kind of dimensional life form?"

"That's somewhat possible."

Duncan also has his own myths and legends. The more he was deified in later generations, the more outrageous the legends became. Even Avalon became one of his palaces, and his divine realm was said to be on the site of Mount Olympus, where there was a golden apple garden of paradise, guarded by a red dragon and a black dragon.

In short, the more exaggerated the better, and the more mythical the historical figures are, the more scholarly debates they will have.

The Jade-Faced Lady looked at the young man with eyes as clear as spring water.

She was quite famous in the martial arts world and had sparred with many top masters several times. Since meeting the young man, all the martial arts masters and demonic figures had died cleanly, which was incredibly satisfying.

This is how she sought freedom and ease, which is indeed somewhat unorthodox and unorthodox.

Today, she killed a group of experts from the Valley of Evil and the elder of the Joyful Union Sect, which finally gave her a chance to vent her anger. With her stunning beauty and ethereal grace, she is famous throughout the martial arts world. Since her debut, some demons from the Demonic Sect have been eyeing her. If it weren't for their long-standing grudges, she wouldn't have been able to challenge so many gangs from all over the country.

"Does the young master truly intend to exterminate the Valley of Villains and annihilate the Joyful Union Sect?"

After returning to her residence, the Jade-Faced Lady pondered for a long time before finally speaking, "Inviting only one person to help is probably not enough."

"Although Lu Shanjun is very strong, he is no match for four hands."

"I also have some good friends in Jiaozhou."

"We can invite them to help."

Jiaozhou is Guangxi, also known as Lingnan, where people were exiled. During the Tang Dynasty, the Lingnan West Circuit was established. The area there was different from the Central Plains, with unique martial arts techniques and many extraordinary people.

The Jade-Faced Goddess has a mysterious background, and the helpers she invited are of unknown origin—who knows if they are human or demon?

The boy didn't seem to care. His human form was born from the Demonic Sect's Blood Child, so it wasn't surprising that he associated with demons. Besides, given his past experiences of killing, he would probably have been branded a Heavenly Demon long ago if he were in the Eastern Land.

He had been in this world for some time, and although he had gathered some information, he always felt that it was all rather dubious.

The origins and evolution of each world are different, and this world seems to form its own system.

But something still feels a little off.

"can."

The young man nodded.

Having received his promise, the Jade-Faced Lady was overjoyed. Unconsciously, the roles of the two had become clear. Last time she fought against the demonic sect, the Jade-Faced Lady still had some pride in her heart, considering herself a top expert, and was a little reluctant to let go of her pride.

But after slaying those demons and monsters from the Valley of Evil today, she appeared obedient and devoted, serving her lord with all her heart, without a trace of her former arrogance.

It's quite interesting that when the two first met, the Jade-Faced Lady wanted to take the young man as her attendant, but today everything has turned out the other way around.

I just don't know if she can appreciate the xiao (a type of Chinese flute).

inside the room.

The Jade-Faced Lady has already secretly sent someone to inform her old friends. The group of chivalrous heroes who helped her have also gone to the Central Plains. Today, they can be considered to have formed a bond. If they encounter trouble in the future, the young man will definitely lend a helping hand.

There is still no news about Lu Shanjun, but his identity is special, and he will definitely leave a trace whenever he shows his face.

"The Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian is almost unblocked as well."

After killing so many demons and monsters in this battle, Duncan's internal energy became increasingly abundant. In particular, the elder of the Hehuan Sect who was passing on his skills probably possessed the power of sixty or eighty years. After killing him, several acupoints in his human form were directly refined into apertures, resembling miniature dantians.

Duncan fell into deep thought and murmured, "I've only opened up a few meridians, and I already possess such formidable strength."

"If all twelve regular meridians are opened, plus the eight extraordinary meridians, the extra meridians, and even the three channels and seven chakras of Buddhism."

"The top figures in this world are probably no less than true gods."

When one cultivates one's physical body to this level, one's essence, energy, and spirit have reached their limit. The Three Flowers Gather at the Top and the Five Qi Converge at the Origin. In his view, the Dao Realm, which follows the Innate Realm, is already a process of integrating with a certain law.

"So, are there gods and immortals in this world?"

He had traveled to many places along the way, and although he had seen many spirits, such as city gods, local gods, and mountain gods, he had not encountered a single true deity or god.

Odin's projection is only in Asgard, and there may be similar places in the heavens.

"We should try to find some hidden paradises to explore when we get the chance!"

"If there really are immortals, they are most likely in blessed lands and grottoes."

Duncan's true form has already mastered some laws in the unseen realm. If there were any powerful figures in this world, they would surely sense his intrusion. However, so far there has been no abnormality. It is unknown whether his status has obscured the secrets of heaven or if there is some other strange phenomenon.

After all, he's unfamiliar with the East. If he wants to peek into the secrets of heaven, he'll probably end up associating with Wanling or that person from the Zoroastrian sect.

Forget about the myriad spirits; they've even shouted "shattering the heavens!" So don't mess with them unless you have to.

They are truly reckless.

"The Wise King has descended to earth."

"Just thinking about it gives me a headache."

Duncan can't work for someone else forever. Cooperating with All Souls is mutually beneficial, but he would rather not work with that Zoroastrian.

If it were a mythical kingdom, he wouldn't mind helping it conquer Mount Ling and directly elevate Shakyamuni to the position of the future Buddha.

But in this world, we can't let him follow Zhu Yuanzhang's example and use the power of the Ming Cult to do it again, can we?

In contrast.

Duncan was still more interested in the cultivation system of this world. He had been fighting for supremacy for so long and was really tired of it. Even the most beautiful woman needs a change of pace from time to time.

If one can establish a foothold in the world of Eastern evolution, one can eventually enter the mythical realm and compete with the Heavenly Emperor and Buddha.

For him, the foundation in the East was the most important thing; everything else was secondary.

"Speak of it."

"Aside from encountering the extraterrestrial demons when I met Lu Shanjun, I have only met one other person who used the Wuxiang Demonic Path to enter the demonic path during my travels in the Central Plains. I have never encountered them again."

"What exactly are these extraterrestrial demons?"

"Is it tasty?"

The young man's thoughts wandered for a while before he sat cross-legged and began practicing the Gluttony Method of the Monk Bu Tan. This method involved refining the five internal organs, and it felt more like the method of ancient Qi cultivators from the pre-Qin era.

I'm in a good mood today, and my cultivation is progressing rapidly. I've taken the heads of a group of demons and monsters, which makes me even happier. With the Jade-Faced Lady by my side, my emotional well-being is at its peak.

Unbeknownst to him, the true energy within the young man's body became increasingly refined. If calculated carefully, it was probably already equivalent to sixty years of cultivation.

However, the path of Asura is not what he seeks. In his human form in this world, he still wants to master more of the Great Dao Laws.

Who would have thought?
The very path of ruthlessness that brought him to power has ironically become a prison that confines him. He must learn to master the laws of the world again through his own strength, without resorting to violence.

He has become too deeply entangled in bloodshed and violence.

"This time, without the aid of any external force, I was able to utilize the combat skills possessed by my human form."

"To me, tools of dimensional space are ultimately just tools."

It really comes down to practice makes perfect.

In this battle against the demons and monsters of Evil Valley, he had no special abilities. The fighting techniques he used were simply the result of his habit of killing people and his familiarity with them. He could use any move at will.

This is something that truly becomes something you control; there's no need to inscribe it on any dimension, because you already know it and are very skilled at it.

Grab the external cheat code of the dimensional space and slowly refine it.

when.

When he can cultivate the Great Dao on his own without relying on external cheats to seize others' power, that will be the time for him to transcend the dimensional level.

This day may take a long time, but he has indeed seen a way.

God.

The Great Free Heavenly Demon Lord.

I've finally started to learn how to cultivate myself.
