Primordial Era: I, Yuan Hong, am solely focused on stability; humanity remains clear-headed

Chapter 176 The Demon Ancestor's Successor Shocks the Primordial World!

Similar to how Tongtian obtained the Zhuxian Sword Formation, the karmic connection between the Western Sect and the Demon Race is also very close.

It's not just territory and training grounds, but also numerous treasures, resources, and heritage...

Many of these items were treasures left behind by the ancient demon race, which were eventually seized by the Western Sect.

Mount Sumeru, the sacred site of the Western religion, was once the place where Rahu, the Demon Ancestor, resided!

Even the renowned Zhuxian Sword Formation was forged here.

The prophecy accompanying the Zhuxian Sword Formation, "Neither iron nor steel, it was once hidden beneath Mount Sumeru," serves as proof of this.

As for the rest, such as treasures and resources, it's not hard to understand.

Although the Western religion is impoverished, that is in comparison to the Xuanmen sect where the Three Pure Ones of the East reside. In terms of total size, it is actually not small, at least not something that ordinary great supernatural beings can imagine.

The Primordial Demon Clan was a top overlord no less powerful than the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans. Even though most of their treasures and inheritances were destroyed in the great war and the explosion of the Western Ancestral Vein, many good things still survived.

For example, when Yang Tianyou followed Zhunti's orders to go to Peach Mountain to bewitch Yao Ji, the Bewitching Heart Zither he used was a demonic artifact!

Moreover, many of the Western religions' methods of salvation originated from the magic of the ancient demon race.

Conversion, a skill that Western religions excel at, inherently carries a strong demonic nature. After it evolved into Buddhism in later generations, its characteristics became even more pronounced, and many cultivators turned pale at the mention of Buddhism's concept of conversion.

Therefore, there is a saying that Buddha and demon are one, which is not without reason.

Many Buddhist teachings are the other side of magic, originating from the teachings passed down by Rahu!

Therefore, the influence of the demon race on the Western religion is extremely profound, and the causal connection between the two is naturally very close.

In fact, it was because of this unbreakable karmic connection between Buddhism and demons that the great demon Wutian appeared after the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, conquered the Buddhist mountain of Mount Sumeru, suppressed all the Buddhas, and transformed into the Demon Ancestor Wutian!

That Wutian possessed the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, clearly having received Rahu's inheritance. His existence was, in fact, the calamity of the flourishing Buddhist sect.

In the end, he single-handedly defeated the entire Buddhist sect and even the Three Realms, leaving only a few powerful figures like Sun Wukong struggling to hold on.

Of course, the appearance of Wutian was actually a final glimmer of hope for the Demon Clan's fortune.

Ultimately, by that time, the Heavenly Dao had already gained a very deep control over the primordial world, so how could it possibly allow the re-emergence of the demonic path?

Therefore, no matter how powerful Wutian was, he could only be defeated by the Fighting Buddha who had cheated.

The demonic path was fleeting; at that time, it was merely a tool to help the Buddhist sect and even the Three Realms achieve Nirvana.

Of course, with Yuan Hong's appearance in this world, the future trajectory will probably be different.

He certainly didn't receive any inheritance from Rahu, nor was he a member of the demonic path, but he did obtain the World-Destroying Black Lotus and the God-Slaying Spear—that's an indisputable fact.

Perhaps, he really does possess some demonic destiny, which has fallen into his hands.

It's uncertain how the situation will evolve in the future.

These are all things to be discussed later, so let's leave them aside for now.

The profound karmic connection between Western religions and the demon ancestor Rahu is beyond doubt.

At this moment, the divine-slaying spear strike, which was of saintly caliber, inevitably caused the two Western Saints to worry, fearing that Rahu might appear one day and personally kill his way up Mount Sumeru.

As sages of the Heavenly Dao, they were naturally not afraid of Rahu, but if he came to their doorstep, the losses would be enormous!

They themselves are not afraid, but their disciples are a different story!

In short, the enemy is now in the dark while we are in the light. Being watched by a saint in the shadows is something even beings of the same level would find difficult to bear. After all, they are not like Nuwa, who is all alone, but rather they have a large family and a great business.

If the Western religion were to encounter any major problems or suffer any losses, the two Western saints would be devastated.

Therefore, the two brothers, Zhunti and Jieyin, were extremely anxious and their faces were ashen. They wished they could find Rahu immediately.

"Let's see how things go. That Rahu wouldn't dare to be too arrogant."

"Don't forget, this guy is the Dao Ancestor's enemy. If he shows up, how could the Dao Ancestor possibly let him off?"

Finally, Jieyin slowly spoke.

Zhunti could only nod in agreement. The Dao Ancestor's intimidation was certainly very effective. Even a sage wouldn't be considered a major problem in front of him.

The only worry is that Rahu isn't stupid; he certainly won't be courting death by directly charging into the Heavenly Dao's side. Instead, he'll be making all sorts of underhanded moves in the shadows...

For example, right now, although it is unknown why Luo Hou sent someone to make a move in the Blood Sea, the Demon Ancestor's successor disappeared without a trace after that one time, and no trace could be found.

No one can say for sure what that guy is going to do.

……

Shouyang Mountain.

Taiqing Laozi was refining elixirs when he was interrupted by the attack of the God-Slaying Spear and had to stop.

Looking towards the sea of ​​blood, he couldn't help but be shocked.

However, he quickly regained his indifferent expression, just like before, with deep, calm eyes, as if he had no thoughts about it at all.

Among the Six Saints of Heavenly Dao, his strength is almost universally acknowledged to be the strongest, so he is naturally the most confident in dealing with all variables.

In addition, his only direct disciple in the Human Sect was Grand Master Xuandu.

Unless Luo Hou is out of his mind, he wouldn't provoke Tai Qing for no reason.

Therefore, Laozi of Taiqing certainly had the right to remain calm.

Of course, he was also quite curious about the Demon Ancestor Rahu, as this was probably the biggest variable in the world, and its impact would certainly be significant.

"However, now that the Heavenly Dao is in control of everything, no matter how great Rahu's abilities are, he no longer has the right to disrupt the Heavenly Dao's power."

Taiqing Laozi shook his head slightly, not optimistic about Luo Hou, and even felt that this guy's high-profile move seemed a bit inexplicable.

"Although I don't know why he wanted to make his presence known, the teacher probably noticed it too..."

……

In the primordial world, the sensation caused by Yuan Hong's use of the Sage's Talisman was so great that it shocked and astonished all the Sages.

The saints had different attitudes toward this.

Nuwa curiously ate the melon, Yuanshi was solemn, Tongtian was eager to try, the two Western Saints were worried, and Taiqing Laozi remained calm...

However, nothing has been done yet; at most, they've just told their disciples to be more careful.

As time passed, the news that the Demon Ancestor was not dead gradually spread throughout the world, and the existence of the Demon Ancestor's successor shocked all living beings!

In ancient times, the Demon Ancestor had already perished and the Demon Race had disappeared, but in reality, the Demonic Path has always existed!

After all, many cultivators risk developing inner demons if something goes wrong during their cultivation process...
