Chapter 538 The First Fish to Come Ashore

Yunmengze, near the pool at the foot of Feilai Peak.

"Huh? Someone actually figured out the inner demon so quickly?"

Looking at the discussion on the "Demon-Slaying Heart Sutra" with a surprised expression, Li Boyang made no attempt to hide his astonishment.

Following closely behind Li Boyang, Chi Ru, dressed in a magnificent robe, simply smiled and calmly expressed his opinion.

"This is what you meant when you said that no matter how profound an individual's wisdom is, it cannot compare to the wisdom of the group."

"Like those great shamans of the Great Xia Dynasty, what good is their profound wisdom, even if it encompasses heaven and earth?"

"After all, only a small number of people can become a great shaman."

"Without considering the popularization of education and the enlightenment of the people, the knowledge and power of a small group of great shamans are simply not enough to usher in a new era."

Listening to Chi Yu's eloquent speech, Wang Shu's usually stern face showed a rare hint of resentment.

If it weren't for the Red Carp vying for favor with him, he should be the one in charge of this "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra".

"I don't think this is because someone has thoroughly figured out the inner demons..."

"Judging from his remarks and perspective, I am more inclined to suspect that he is actually suffering from inner demons."

As she slowly passed the red carp, Wang Shu offered a different perspective.

"So what if he's a demon in his heart?"

Clearly sensing the hostility from Wang Shu, Chi Ru smiled rather elegantly.

"Siming has the world in his heart and spreads the teachings to all living beings, and the inner demons are naturally one of them."

"If one can truly reform one's inner demons and restrain one's inner desires, then one is no longer an inner demon."

The open and covert struggle between Wang Shu and Chi Ru.

Li Boyang simply rubbed his temples, looking slightly troubled, and pretended not to see it.

Heaven knows why Wangshu had such great hostility towards Chiyu.

The same goes for Chiyu; knowing that Wangshu's mind was still immature, he still liked to tease her again and again.

"Chiyu is right, whether he is a demon in his heart or not is not important."

"Among these individuals who are currently communicating through the 'Heart Sutra for Subduing Demons,' are there no other inner demons among them?"

Li Boyang's words caused both of the men present to show expressions of astonishment.

Those who know Li Boyang know that he is never the kind of person who speaks without reason.

In other words, since Li Boyang has said so...

That means that among the individuals currently possessing the "Heart Sutra of Demon Subduing," there must be some who have already been possessed by inner demons.

However, those inner demons were extremely good at disguising themselves, and no one noticed their abnormality at all.

"Are we just going to leave them like this?"

Tilting her head in confusion, Wang Shu asked somewhat blankly.

"Why bother?"

Turning his head to glance at Wang Shu, Li Boyang asked in a half-smile.

"For example, you are now a Moon Demon, but have you ever thought about corrupting all living beings with your demonic power?"

Wang Shu shook her head decisively. Of course, she wouldn't demonize the masses; she was more than just the Moon Demon.

"Then that makes sense, doesn't it?"

"Just like the first fish that left the ocean, it gradually adapted to the terrestrial environment and evolved into an amphibian."

“When those demon kings left the Great Free Heaven and began to explore the meaning and value of their own existence, they could no longer be considered pure inner demons.”

"Those inner demons are the embodiment of desire, but they are not merely desires."

"Especially when they break free from the influence of instinct and begin to learn to think little by little, they will naturally integrate into this era."

Yunmengze, Baidi University, Juling Island.

"Another one of our kind?" A small male butterfly-person sneered as he looked at the fleeting words on the "Demon-Slaying Heart Sutra".

As a male butterfly-man who had successfully possessed another's body, this was the first time he had ever seen such a foolish fellow human who couldn't even disguise himself.

As for whether the other party is perhaps not a demon in their heart?

The male butterfly-man never even considered this possibility.

Such a deep understanding of inner demons can only be explained by being one of their own.

"It seems that the Demon King must have left the Great Freedom Heaven before the Primordial Heavenly Demon was born."

The male butterfly-man fled the Great Free Heaven Demon King in a panic when Li Boyang transformed into the Primordial Heavenly Demon, fearing that he would be affected by it.

However, after the Primordial Demon King redefined the rules of the Great Free Heaven.

These escaped demon kings could never return to the Great Free Heaven.

At the very least, before Mara the Demon King revives, it will be difficult for these demon kings to re-establish contact with Shiva.

It is precisely for this reason that male butterfly people stay on this Spirit Gathering Island, obediently learning the Dao of Heaven and Man taught by that Dao Ancestor.

To be honest, male butterfly people don't care about anything else right now.

His only worry was whether the Dao Ancestor had seen through his identity.

But upon further reflection, the male butterfly man put aside his worries.

After all, he was different from ordinary inner demons. He was not one of the first demon kings created by Mara, but one of the vanished gods of the North Sea.

Since Mara, the demon king, fell into seclusion, the Great Realm of Freedom has become the exclusive domain of the demon kings.

Perhaps it's the operating rule of the Great Free Heaven...

Or perhaps it's just the wild imagination of some demon lords...

A more likely explanation is some kind of power struggle among those who have attained enlightenment...

In short, regardless of their original intentions, a group of unfortunate gods were captured by the power of Mara and became one of the many demon kings in the Great Realm of Shiva.

Compared to traditional demon kings, these gods who were forcibly transformed into demons inherited the memories and power of their original forms.

Even in the Great Realm of Shiva, these gods who have transformed into demons can still sense their followers and clans in the real world.

The male butterfly man is able to achieve such perfect camouflage thanks to this.

Of course, simply disguising oneself as a butterfly person is not enough.

The reason why male butterfly people were able to enter this Spirit Gathering Island to cultivate ahead of time is because of the outstanding talent they have shown since childhood.

He understood better than those demon kings that no matter how well one disguises themselves, there will always be flaws.

Therefore, it is better to pretend to be a completely unfamiliar entity.

It would have been better to be born as a butterfly person from the beginning and show exceptional talent from a young age.

In this way, he would have a complete growth experience, and there would be no need for anyone to doubt that he was the demon king of the Great Free Heaven.

The facts have proven that the male butterfly man was indeed very prescient.

Using this pre-cultivated body, he escaped the Great Free Heaven with almost no impact and then perfectly integrated into the present-day Hundred Mountains.

"Zixiu?"

"Are you reading the 'Heart Sutra for Subduing Demons' again?"

Just as the male butterfly-man... or rather, Zixiu, was pondering, an excited voice reached his ears.

When he looked up, he saw Yunxiu flapping its wings and flying towards him.

If Zixiu was allowed to come to Juling Island to cultivate because of his extraordinary talent...

So Yunxiu was born with a deficiency, which is why Jialuo asked Jinjiao for a favor, hoping to make up for her congenital defect here.

"Hmm, have you finished your homework for today?"
