Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Chapter 360 [Time Waits for No One, Xuanyuan Cultivates Demonic Power]

The Jiuli Divine Dynasty's military action against the Jiuxiao Divine Clan was undoubtedly a major event that shook the human race. However, neither the Renshi, who was stationed in the ancestral land of the human race, nor the Heavenly Emperor Shennong showed any intention of mediating.

There's no other reason than this!

Before letting Chi You take action, Hou Tu communicated with them, her purpose being to find out the twenty-odd Great Luo Immortals who had been reincarnated into the human race!

If a Great Luo Golden Immortal reincarnated into the human race were of one mind with the human race, that would naturally be a good thing. But since there is Yuanshi Tianzun's scheming involved, it proves that these Great Luo Immortals are only after the fortune of the human race!

Holding the Tiger Soul Blade, Chi You roared, "This battle is to protect the destiny of the human race! We absolutely cannot allow that scoundrel Haotian to become too powerful among humans!"

"Head north, and shatter the nine heavens of the divine dynasty!"

In fact, Chi You had long wanted to take action against the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty. His military strategy could only advance rapidly when he fought on the battlefield.

"Victory is certain! Victory is certain!"

"Victory is certain! Victory is certain!"

"Victory is certain! Victory is certain!"

Under Chi You's command, tens of millions of soldiers roared in unison, their murderous auras intertwined, actually evolving into a powerful force that suppressed heaven and earth!

Military formation!

This is also an application of military strategy.

These soldiers, none of whom were particularly skilled in cultivation, could, when combined with the military formation, give their commanders the ability to fight against those in higher realms.

Most of the great formations in the Primordial Realm are difficult to move once they are set up, but Chi You's formation using humans broke this constraint.

With tens of millions of soldiers gathered together, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal felt a sense of unease.

Haotian's expression was extremely gloomy. As a sub-sage, he naturally had no fear of Chiyou, but his troops were inferior to those of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty.

The Jiuli Divine Dynasty was inhabited by a mix of witches and humans. Leaving aside the ordinary humans, the witches with witch blood were incredibly tough and could easily crush their soldiers with their military formations.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun did not stand idly by. He directly handed over the thirty percent of the Asura people he had obtained from the Styx Daoist to Haotian to command, so that he could withstand the onslaught of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty.

These Asura beings are warlike by nature, fearless of death, and are no weaker than the Wu people, making them capable of temporarily dealing with the army of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty.

In addition, Yuanshi Tianzun also recalled the Four-Unlikes and sent him with the Qilin Seal to the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty to help Haotian.

The Qilin Seal in his hand was the primordial Qilin's innate treasure, capable of harnessing the power of the earth's veins to set up the Eight Desolate Qilin Calamity Annihilation Array.

This grand formation is similar in effect to Zhen Yuanzi's "Earth Book Grand Formation," which can temporarily bind the person holding the seal to the primordial earth veins.

Today, the Qilin clan is no longer as glorious as it once was, and the Four-Unlikes is only at the Great Luo realm, so naturally it cannot set up the Eight Desolate Qilin Calamity Annihilation Array.

However, setting up a simplified version of the Innate Earth Formation could still deter Chi You and others from launching a major war against the Great Luo.

To attack this great formation is to attack the primordial earth veins. If one is not careful, the Great Luo of the Nine Li Divine Dynasty will be tainted with endless karma.

Therefore, in the vision of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, before Chi You found a way to break the formation, the great battle between the Nine Li Divine Dynasty and the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty would definitely be mainly about military formations charging into battle, or fighting magic and generals.

It's absolutely impossible for it to start with a battle between Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Supernatural Powers!

Seeing the Innate Earth Formation unfold, Chi You sneered, "Did you think you could protect the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty with just this formation? The sons of my Nine Li Divine Dynasty can slaughter you without leaving a single one alive!"

Since Chi You was able to deduce military formations, he naturally had an understanding of formations and knew that the Primordial Earth Formation was now connected to the primordial earth veins.

If he were to personally intervene and forcibly break through the great formation, he would inevitably be tainted by karma and would certainly encounter various misfortunes in the future struggle for the Human Emperor.

But even if he can't take action himself, does that mean he can't break the great formation?

of course not!

The Innate Earth Formation is difficult to move. As long as he sends his army into the formation and uses the evil energy to suppress several key earth vein nodes, he is confident that he can break the formation without damaging the earth veins.

Therefore, he did not panic!

Instead, following the will of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, he engaged in battles and magical duels with the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty, while secretly observing the changes in the Primordial Earth Formation.

Of course, there was another reason why he wasn't in a hurry—that is, the earth veins of the Primordial True Realm would undergo a major change soon.

During this period, Zhen Yuanzi and Shennong have been using Nuwa's Mountain and River Map to readjust the earth vein nodes of the Primordial True Realm, so as to ensure that when the Golden Yuan World is recreated and the Great Five Elements Cycle is reconstructed, the power of the Five Elements in the Primordial True Realm can maintain a relative balance.

The ten great spirit witches of the witch clan, and the twelve-year-old child born to Yeming, all participated in it, and Houtu, the true saint, also opened the door to help.

Chi You had naturally heard some of the news.

As long as the balance of the five elements in the Primordial True Realm can be ensured, the Tongtian Sect Leader, the Guide Daoist, and Houtu will join forces to reshape the Golden Yuan World.

At that time, the primordial earth veins changed, and the innate Wutu Grand Formation was bound to have flaws!

Breaking through the formation will become a piece of cake!

Therefore, he was not in a hurry at all, but instead took this opportunity to hone his military skills.

Xuanyuan was also taken by him to learn military tactics and troop deployment!

"kill!"

Under Chi You's command, the Jiuli Divine Dynasty's army advanced continuously, with extreme baleful energy transforming into various military magic forms above the army, advancing with overwhelming power.

The area where the Jiuli Divine Dynasty and the Jiuxiao Divine Dynasty meet is shrouded in dark clouds, and murderous and malevolent auras are constantly spreading to the surrounding area.

Faced with Chi You's army, Haotian did not send ordinary humans to their deaths, but instead sent the Asuras sent by Yuanshi Tianzun to fight.

Boom!

War is imminent!

In a one-on-one fight, the sorcerers of the Jiuli Divine Dynasty would definitely not be a match for the Asuras.

However, Chi You's army consisted of at least ten thousand men, and their formations were so intricate and complex that the Asura warriors could find no weakness in them.

In less than half a day, tens of thousands of Asuras were annihilated by Chi You's army.

but----

The Jiuli Divine Dynasty's army was not without losses. The female Asuras performed the Six Desires Heavenly Demon Dance on the battlefield, causing various illusions to appear in the minds of the soldiers forming the army formation.

Meanwhile, the male Asuras seized the opportunity to wreak havoc, and some of the bloodthirsty male Asuras even self-destructed on the battlefield.

Boom!

Clumps of blood exploded, and even though Chi You responded quickly, he still suffered considerable losses.

If the baleful aura of the military formation is sufficient, it will naturally not be afraid of the illusions created by the Six Desires Demon Dance. Chi You directly linked the military formations together, so the Six Desires Demon Dance of the female Asuras was greatly reduced.

"The Asuras created by that Styx fellow are indeed quite a problem!"

Xuan Yin's Asura incarnation, inheriting the cover of the name "Luo," is currently observing the battlefield situation silently from the rear of the army formation.

After the Styx Daoist disbanded the Asura Cult, apart from the 30% of the Asuras who had been converted to the West by the Zhunti Daoist, the remaining 70% of the Asuras, along with the fortune of the Asura Cult, were divided up by Xuan Yin, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Houtu!

Yuanshi Tianzun used Gouchen's companion spiritual treasure to exchange for 30% of the Asura from the Styx River, while Xuan Yin and Hou Tu each received 20%.

Of course, in order to ensure the stability of the Asura Path, Xuan Yin's Asura incarnation directly led the 20% of his Asuras to join Houtu and then became outer disciples of the Witchcraft Sect.

Therefore, the current fortune of the Asura Cult is actually divided into three parts. Zhunti Daoist and Yuanshi Tianzun each received about 30%, while Houtu and Xuan Yin's Asura incarnations accounted for the remaining 40%.

In order to ensure a decisive victory in one battle, when the Jiuli Divine Dynasty army set off, Xuan Yin's Asura incarnation also brought a portion of the Asura clan to quietly join the Jiuli Divine Dynasty army.

If he could destroy or subdue the Asura race under the control of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, his avatar would also gain considerable benefits.

However, since Chi You intended to hone his military formation, he was in no hurry to make a move. Instead, he ordered his Asura clansmen to remain in place and wait for orders.

"Is this what war is?"

But Xuanyuan, standing behind Chi You, couldn't help but sigh: "Why do those sages always scheme against the fate of my human race?"

"The power of a sage is too great; every gesture he makes exudes boundless power, capable of easily destroying countless worlds and endless lives!"

"Even if bound by the laws of Heaven, a single thought of theirs can trigger chaos, causing beings of the same race to fight each other for profit!"

"When will our human race produce a saint?"

Compared to Chi You, Xuanyuan was more magnanimous. While being decisive in killing, he would also think about what caused the continuous turmoil.

The Great Calamity of Dragon and Han and the Great Calamity of Witch and Demon were both struggles over destiny and struggles over the Great Dao.

The current struggle for the Human Emperor is actually a struggle for lineage and ideology, with the sages who have intervened treating the human race as their pawns!

This is not what he wanted to see!

But at this moment, he had no power to change anything. Despite his amazing talent, Xuanyuan was only at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm at this moment. He was still one step away from achieving the Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

However, he was also somewhat confused. From Chi You, he learned about the cycle of reincarnation and how the Yellow Emperor's Dao Fruit was attained by the Yellow Dragon Daoist of the Chan Sect. He didn't know whether his current choice was good or bad.

According to his original destiny, he should first attain the Dao fruit of the Yellow Emperor, and then, by leveraging his foundation, attain the Human Emperor's status. This was undoubtedly an extremely smooth path for him.

But now, he can no longer attain the Yellow Emperor's Dao Fruit. After attaining the Great Luo realm, how can he accumulate the necessary foundation to break through to the realm of the Great Supernatural Power?

Although he possessed astonishing luck, as a human born after birth, his foundation was still somewhat weak.

By reversing the past and leveraging the characteristics of the Great Luo to occupy certain innate sacred concepts, almost all acquired Great Luo practitioners must take this path.

Otherwise, without sufficient foundation, the Great Luo is their limit!

Only by relying on the authority of those ancient gods, or the positions of heaven and earth, and increasing their foundation, can they possibly become great supernatural beings in the future!

But there are only so many suitable positions or powers for him in the world. There are also many Great Luo Immortals eyeing those ancient god concepts that are temporarily without a master. Without attaining the Yellow Emperor Dao Fruit, he really doesn't know what to do after attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but speak up and take the initiative to ask Xuan Yin's Asura incarnation for guidance.

after all----

His true form, Xuan Yin, was one of the earliest Great Luo Immortals born among the human race.

"Senior Fuzhang, is there a method to increase one's own foundation without reversing the past?"

Watching the soldiers of the Nine Li Divine Dynasty fight each other continuously, and seeing the sky-covering array, Xuanyuan couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

He is now just one opportunity away from becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but he has no idea how to cultivate after that!

"Of course!"

Fu Zhang responded without hesitation: "Reversing the past and seizing power over heaven and earth are merely methods of the Immortal Path and the Divine Path. In the Primordial True Realm, there are more than just the Immortal Path and the Divine Path!"

"For example, in Buddhism and Taoism, if one's foundation is insufficient, one can make up for it through reincarnation. By reincarnating several times, one can condense the fruits of one's previous life into relics, and naturally, one can use the foundation from those previous lives to advance further!"

"It just takes a little more time!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan's face lit up with a hint of joy, but the smile instantly faded when he learned it would take longer: "Then isn't there some quick way to master it?"

"some!"

Fu Zhang laughed, "My original form, the Sambhogakaya, ascended to heaven in one step through a great vow! Are you perhaps also trying to overdraw your future potential?"

Xuanyuan's little scheme naturally couldn't escape his notice. In the future struggle for the Human Emperor, it would be commonplace for Great Luo Golden Immortals and Great Divine Powers to take action. He, a mere Taiyi, was indeed somewhat weak!

It's understandable that they're eager!

"A grand vision!"

Hearing Fu Zhang's words, Xuanyuan shook his head: "I do have a grand ambition to revitalize the human race and deter the sages from plotting against it again, but I'm afraid Heaven won't approve of my ambition!"

Not long ago, the news that Doraemon's Dream-Fulfilling Celestial Venerable threatened Haotian with calamity, forcing this Quasi-Saint powerhouse to voluntarily give up the position of the Eastern Azure Flower Emperor, had already spread throughout the Primordial True Realm.

He naturally also learned about the calamities and the drawbacks of the Great Vow Technique.

Moreover, a grand ambition must benefit heaven and earth. For example, the Bodhisattva Xuanzang converted the spirits of the dead, and Haotian vowed to become the Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial World and then reshape the order of the Primordial World. If Xuanyuan's grand ambition is limited to one clan, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World will naturally not recognize his grand ambition!

Xuanyuan continued, "Besides Buddhist methods, are there other methods that don't require reversing the past or seizing power from heaven and earth to gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao, yet still increase one's foundation?"

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Ideally, it should be the kind that can be learned quickly!"

"some!"

Fu Zhang's smile faded, and he solemnly said, "This is actually the method I cultivate! The more Grand Luo Immortals or Great Supernatural Powers I kill, the more Asura fortune I seize, and the faster my cultivation grows!"

"but----"

"This is a forbidden method!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan couldn't help but ask, "Why is such a wonderful method a forbidden technique?"

Fu Zhang sighed softly and explained, "Because this is a demonic path! When Styx was the leader of the Asura Cult, the Asura Cult was known as the Lesser Vehicle demonic path!"

"Later, although he disbanded the Asura Cult, Asuras like me actually practiced Hinayana demonic methods!"

"oh!"

"Those on the other side too!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the Asura cultivators who were fighting against the Jiuli Divine Dynasty army: "The more lives they slaughter, the greater the benefits they gain—after all, the demonic path is a method of plunder!"

"The fate of those who die at their hands will also belong to them; this is why the Asura race loves killing!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan's expression tightened: "This is indeed a path that is easy to be wary of!"

The Asura race proves their Dao through killing and warfare. If they were to flourish in the Primordial True Realm, countless lives would be slaughtered by the Asura race.

"What's this?"

Fu Zhang shook his head: "The Lesser Vehicle of Demonic Path only targets living beings. Although it is taboo, it is not enough to make those top-tier powerful beings wary!"

"The real threat to the primordial world comes from the Mahayana demonic path pioneered by that fellow Rahu!"

"The West is barren, the Golden Yuan World has collapsed, and the Great Five Elements Cycle of the Primordial True Realm is in trouble because Luo Ni refined the origin of the Golden Yuan World!"

"Besides, the desires of all living beings, as well as those Great Immortals and those with great supernatural powers, can all become nourishment for the cultivation of the Mahayana demonic path!"

"As long as you're willing to go all out, achieving the Great Luo Dao in a few Yuanhui (eons), and the Primordial Golden Immortal Dao in a dozen or so Yuanhui (eons) isn't difficult at all!"

"This is the quick fix you wanted!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan fell silent for a long time before finally speaking, "Senior Fuzhang, can you teach me the methods of demonic cultivation?"

Fu Zhang laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of cultivating the demonic path and being condemned by everyone?"

Xuanyuan replied, "The Great Dao is neither good nor bad; it is people who cultivate the Dao, not the Dao that cultivates people! Their inability to resist the temptations of the demonic path is their problem; I will never allow the demonic path to influence my will!"

"Time waits for no one!"

"Isn't there a saying in Buddhism that killing is for the purpose of protecting life, and cutting off karma is not the same as killing a person?"

"With a compassionate heart, I wield the sword of slaughter. As long as my resolve remains unwavering, the demonic path, in my hands, may very well become a path to protect humanity!"

"and----"

He paused, then pointed in the direction of the Nine Heavens Divine Dynasty: "Senior Fuzhang, don't you think those ill-intentioned, reincarnated humans who want to use the human race's fortune to cultivate are merely resources for me to further advance in the Mahayana demonic path?"

"Now that they've joined the human race, borrowed their fortune for cultivation, and are plotting against them—how can I let them go back alive?"

"One cannot become a human emperor by relying on compassion, concession, or currying favor with sages!"

"The only way is to kill!"

"To carve out a bright and clear world!"

Upon hearing this, Chi You couldn't help but show a hint of satisfaction: "Good, good, good! Only someone with such courage is worthy to be my disciple!"

""

Fu Zhang also laughed and said, "Since that's the case, then I will pass on to you the demonic arts! This art is called the Precious Scripture of the Commander of Calamities and the Rules of Heaven and Earth!"

With a flick of his finger, a demonic technique entered Xuanyuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

This is a method created by the original self after becoming the Holy Law Demon, using his own wisdom to integrate the characteristics of Hinayana and Mahayana demonic paths.

It contains both the demonic methods of plunder and devouring, and the mysteries of the law, but the law is mainly used to restrain the Dao heart of cultivators!

If one can firmly establish one's Dao heart, one's cultivation will naturally progress by leaps and bounds. However, if one is blinded by desires, one will be devoured by the inner demons that evolve from the Dao!

If Xuanyuan wanted to increase his strength by hunting those reincarnated human race's Great Luo Golden Immortals, then cultivating this method would be the most suitable!

He also wanted to see if Xuanyuan could carve out a bright future with the sword in his hand.

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Xuanyuan quickly bowed.

Fu Zhang couldn't help but glance at Chi You: "Fellow Daoist Chi You, do you not object to this humble Daoist passing on the demonic arts to Xuanyuan?"

"Why oppose it?"

Chi You countered, "Just as Xuanyuan said, it is humans who cultivate the Dao, not the Dao that cultivates humans!"

As he spoke, he revealed the Tiger Soul Blade to Fuzhang: "It is righteous when used for righteous purposes, and evil when used for evil purposes. My Tiger Soul Blade may look sinister, but it can devour ghosts. Isn't it also a weapon to protect the human race?"

"That's true!"

Fu Zhang's gaze immediately fell upon the Tiger Soul Blade: "I underestimated you, fellow Daoist!"

After devouring the demons and monsters, Chi You's Tiger Soul Blade has transformed into a demonic weapon with power far exceeding that of ordinary top-grade innate spiritual treasures, almost comparable to those rare and malevolent treasures of the Heavenly Dao!

But Chi You's heart was as firm as iron, and he was not affected by the Tiger Soul Blade at all. In his hands, this demonic weapon was a divine weapon to protect the human race!

Looking at Chi You and Xuanyuan, Fu Zhang suddenly laughed: "This humble Taoist also wants to see just how far you two, master and disciple, can go!"

Xuanyuan decided to cultivate the demonic path, and Chiyou was no ordinary person either. With the help of Houtu, he had already refined the essence blood of the twelve ancestral witches, and his potential was limitless. He could almost be described as a flawed miniature Pangu!

"If he possessed the essence of the Three Pure Ones, Chi You might actually have become a mini-Pangu!"

Fu Zhang couldn't help but think of the Creation Demon, who was tinkering with the Little Pangu in the Demon Realm, but wasn't there a ready-made one in the Primordial True Realm?

The source of the Tongtian Sect Leader's origin can be discussed with his own teacher, but the origins of Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun are more troublesome!

but----

It's not like there's no chance!

For example, Xuandu, Du'e, and Zhenwu of the Human Sect inherited the imprint of the Eighty-One Transformations of the Supreme Being; the Antarctic Immortal and Taiyi of the Chan Sect...

Fenglong, Gouchen, and others inherited the Nine Primordial Beginnings. Aren't these imprints weakened versions of the Taiqing and Yuqing origins?

Let's see if Chi You has the guts to touch the tiger's whiskers of these two sages!
