Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 282 You blind fool, who's a tiger spirit like you!

The white-haired demon, half-bull and half-tiger, had deep, unfathomable eyes, as if a thousand thoughts were swirling within them.

Finally, a slight smile played on his lips as he emitted a low, husky, metallic sound:

"Interesting, it seems I, Zhuang, have never been a demon before."

This life is quite novel for Zhuang Buran. Before he could awaken his true spirit and recover his past, he was already naturally enlightened and had figured out the cultivation method on his own.

They comprehended the demonic path, which was considered extremely vicious by others, by observing the ox, tiger, and tortoise respectively.

Because he was illiterate and had never read a book, he did not give any name to the work he created.

The white-haired demon, pondering this matter, exuded an aura of utmost stillness and simplicity. His demonic energy was contained within him like a stubborn rock, and with each breath, he transformed into a young shepherd boy with a restrained divine radiance.

When Zhuang Buran rode his ox to the foot of the mountain, he jumped down and came to Sun Wukong.

"Kid, you're finished. You've actually cultivated a demon core, becoming a monster through and through."

Sun Wukong's eyes gleamed with golden light:
"It turns out that he cultivated his nature and protected his spirit in the form of a spirit tortoise, so that he would not fall into bloodlust and ferocity."

"Tsk tsk, others know the origin and infuse the divine body, but you know the origin and forge the demon body. I wonder how you will survive the Three Calamities in the future?"

The young shepherd boy looked puzzled:

"Monkey, I've never been to school, so I don't know what the Three Calamities are."

Sun Wukong slapped his forehead:
“I, Old Sun, can’t believe there’s such a strange child as you in this world. It’s one thing to be ignorant, but usually it’s the demons who cultivate human form to become demon immortals, but you’re cultivating a demon body in human form.”

He began to explain the dangers of the Three Calamities, so that this freakish existence would not die and perish without knowing why, because he had never heard of cultivation. He was also curious about what kind of path this young shepherd boy could take.

"Cultivating the path to immortality is a matter against the will of Heaven. It will seize the creation of Heaven and Earth and invade the mysteries of the sun and moon. After the elixir is completed, even ghosts and gods will find it intolerable. Although it can preserve youth and prolong life, after five hundred years, you will be struck by lightning. You must see your true nature and understand your mind to avoid it in advance."

"If you can escape it, you'll live as long as heaven; if you can't, you'll die."

"Five hundred years later, a fire will descend from the sky and burn you. This fire is neither heavenly fire nor ordinary fire, but called Yin fire. It will start from the Yongquan point on your body and burn straight through to the Niwan Palace. Your internal organs will turn to ash, and your limbs will rot. All your arduous practices will be in vain."

"Five hundred years from now, another wind will blow down on you. This wind is not the wind from the east, west, south, or north, nor is it the gentle, warm, or cold wind, nor is it the wind blowing through the flowers, willows, pines, or bamboos. It is called the Bi Wind."

“It blows into the six internal organs through the fontanelle, passes through the dantian, and penetrates the nine orifices, causing the bones and flesh to disintegrate and the body to dissolve on its own, so one must avoid it.”

After hearing this, the young shepherd boy asked with even greater confusion:
"Why are you hiding?"

"I, Old Sun, have made myself perfectly clear, yet you still refuse to hide?"

"Because I'm not afraid."

The young shepherd boy asked earnestly:

"Monkey, do you think lightning strikes, fires, and typhoons taste good?"

"I've never eaten it before, how would I know if it's good or not?" Sun Wukong said speechlessly.

"This is deadly stuff, why are you thinking of eating it again?"

The young shepherd boy said matter-of-factly:

"If you can eat monsters, why can't you eat the Three Calamities? I've heard a saying that goes, 'Those who eat meat are brave and valiant, those who eat grains are wise and skillful, those who eat air are divine and long-lived, and those who don't eat are immortal and divine.'"

"Thunder, fire, and wind are all forms of energy, and even more so, the mysteries of heaven and earth."

"If a being that seizes the creation of heaven and earth and delves into the mysteries of the sun and moon dies under the three calamities, doesn't that mean it is an exceptionally mysterious thing in heaven and earth? If one can survive the calamities, that is, consume it, wouldn't one be able to comprehend something and thus attain great freedom?"

Sun Wukong, somewhat troubled, began to speak:
"Don't spread rumors. I, Old Sun, have told you before that even immortals don't abstain from food and drink. The Three Calamities are punishments imposed by Heaven and Earth for those who defy creation."

"If you insist on stubbornly resisting, don't blame me for not warning you; you'll end up with nothing but a gruesome corpse." He muttered to himself as he said this.
"I, Old Sun, thought this kid was a promising talent and wanted to teach him some transformation techniques. Since he still doesn't appreciate it, I'll see how he'll survive the three calamities in the future."

"It sounds so frightening, I'm even more eager to see the Three Calamities and see if they taste good." The young shepherd boy patted his belly.

"I've never eaten a demon that has become a spirit before. I'll go and catch one to eat. Do you want one?"

"Go take a break, go take a break. I, Old Sun, just love to eat some fruits and melons." Sun Wukong waved his hand.

In this life, the young shepherd boy only had a grandfather. After leading the ox home, he would ride the clouds to Shuangcha Ridge, which was not far away, late at night.

He concealed his aura and wandered around the area, where he discovered several spirits that had already reached a certain level of power: a tiger, a bear, and an ox.

In a short while, the young shepherd boy landed outside a cave. Upon entering the cave, he saw fifty or sixty evil spirits, who turned out to be yanderes.

"General, a living person has come to surrender on their own!" a ghostly servant shouted joyfully.

"Today, there is no need to search hard; human flesh is available for consumption."

A loud shout came from deep within the cave:

"I didn't expect there would be such a fool who would willingly offer himself up. Perfect timing to have a treat!"

Suddenly, a burly man, like a demon king, stepped out. He was majestic and imposing, with a fierce and imposing appearance. His eyes flashed with dazzling light, and his voice boomed like thunder.

"She's still a delicate little girl, quickly take her down for this general."

Zhuang Buran chuckled softly, and a strange aura surged forth. All the ghosts in the cave turned around at the same time, looking at General Yin with eerie eyes.

In an instant, the weak and easily bullied young shepherd boy transformed into a white-haired demon over two zhang tall, his dense demonic aura mixed with the ferocious power of a tiger, surging wildly within the cave.

The once majestic General Yin instantly transformed into a two-legged shrimp, collapsing to the ground, trembling as he said:

"Your Majesty, spare my life! I am a tiger spirit, please have mercy!"

With a stomp of its iron hooves, the white-haired demon unleashed an incomparably powerful force that killed General Yin, causing him to revert to his original form—a striped tiger.

"You blind fool, who's a tiger spirit like you!"

Zhuang Buran immediately sat in the seat of honor and casually gave the order:
"Skin the tiger and roast the meat."

Immediately, the ghosts began to divide the work: some skinned and removed bones, some added firewood and started the fire, and some clever ones quickly went to move the wine and water.

In the following days, the other bear spirit and ox spirit followed in the tiger spirit's footsteps, thus eliminating three man-eating monsters from Shuangcha Ridge.

At the foot of Five Elements Mountain.

Sun Wukong carefully examined the young shepherd boy and said:

"These days, my magical power has increased quite rapidly. I have begun to shed all the yin energy and transform my body into pure yang energy, becoming a body of golden tendons and jade bones. It shouldn't be long before I break through the dantian and become a god."

"By further refining the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, and cultivating the qi of the five internal organs—heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and spleen—one can reach the state of the five qi returning to their origin. Once the three flowers on the top of the head open, one will possess great magical power and be able to roam freely in one direction."

Even if others mistake you for a monster, they won't dare to come and exorcise it easily.

The young shepherd boy grinned:
"In the past few days, I have eaten three harmful monsters and used them to practice my skills. After I have taken care of my grandfather in his old age and seen him off, I plan to go out and see what evil monsters are out there."

"At that time, I will devour them all, so that my cultivation of a demonic body will not have been in vain."

“Yesterday I rode the clouds into the city and learned a new phrase, ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.’”

After hearing this, Sun Wukong sighed:
"It really is a cycle of karma. No one escapes the judgment of Heaven. Demons eat human flesh, and so a person who eats demon flesh was born."
