Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

"You know nothing! That female cultivator is the granddaughter of the former Dark God."

"Oh... so the God was forced by someone!"

"? No, Heavenly Eye God, aren't you the son of the former Dark God?"

"Then, that female cultivator is your daughter?"

"You filthy old bastard, you idiot Tianyan!"

"It seems this fellow Daoist is somewhat excited."

"Fellow Daoists, I don't understand the 'Great Joyful Union for All' plan recently proposed by the Joyful Union Divine Court."

"What don't you understand?"

"Dual cultivation, dual cultivation, no matter how it changes, dual cultivation always requires a dual cultivation partner, right? But the 'Great Universal Harmony' plan recently proposed by the Joyful Union Divine Court, apart from providing a cultivation technique that looks somewhat inexplicably powerful, seems to be nothing more than spreading erotic novels?"

"I don't quite understand it either, but this technique is indeed somewhat useful! Although it's not as good as proper dual cultivation, as long as you spend a little bit of effort every day, you can gain a bit of cultivation for free. I don't know where this cultivation comes from."

Am I the only one who pays attention to the erotic novels that accompany cultivation techniques?

"What's wrong? This erotic novel is really exciting. The writing style is extremely erotic. Only a veteran who has been immersed in this field for many years could write it."

"The waters here run deep. Let me give you an example."

"Fellow Taoist, please speak."

"For example, in the ninth chapter, 'Looking for a lover, the beautiful woman consults the oracle; a Taoist priest burns a spirit of her husband and listens to lewd sounds,' the protagonist of this story is a young Taoist named Ling Ji, whose surname is Sun."

"so what?"

"Don't you know? The Eternal God Emperor's mortal name was Sun Lingji."

"Uh... it's just a coincidence. There are many people in the world with similar names. Besides, the Eternal Life God Emperor was a figure from many years ago. He passed away long ago, and the Eternal Life God Dynasty has collapsed."

“Oh? Then how do you explain this little Taoist’s Taoist name ‘Wanshou’? Wanshou is the name of the palace where the Eternal God Emperor resides, and this person is also skilled in using a Wanshou sword. The Eternal God Emperor’s imperial weapon is named the Eternal Sword.”

"Uh... perhaps we're drawing inspiration from ancient figures?"

"Alright, let me tell you a few more. The tenth one is: 'The young musician listens to the warbling of swallows and orioles, and the young man frolics in the Butterfly Lane.' The Demon Emperor of the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly Clan once strayed into a human settlement when he was young. He survived by disguising himself as a young musician. The Demon Butterfly Clan even boasts about this as a glorious deed of their ancestors, who were wise, brave, and resourceful."

"The Eighteenth Chapter - The Charming Lady Yan Seduces Her Under the Curtain, and Hu Sheng Teases the Beauty Under the Moon. Don't forget that the ancestor of the Immortal Granny Palace, the Immortal Granny, was surnamed Yan. Moreover, the Immortal Granny's imperial weapon was a jade hairpin that resembled a sword, forged by the Jade King of the Nine Heavens. In the story, the token of love between Lady Yan and her lover was also a jade hairpin, and both of them were green."

"The nineteenth chapter—Chen Guanren visits his beloved moon in the snow, Xin Si Niang battles her lover with water. This hint is too obvious. Who is Xin Si Niang? Holy Buddha, don't you know? This story is quite famous. Chen and Xin are none other than the Sun King Bodhisattva and Moon King Bodhisattva of your Buddhist sect. Back then, they and Amitabha Buddha jointly established the Sumeru Sacred Realm and were revered by later generations as the Three Saints of Sumeru."

For a time, the virtual forums fell silent.

After a long while, someone finally spoke.

"Uh... since it's so bad, you're just going to do nothing about it?"

"What do you mean, 'manage'? How do you intend to manage it? Do you want to go against the Hehuan Divine Court? Besides, they're only hinting at it right now. If you take it seriously, aren't you just accepting all the characters in this erotic novel as references?"

"But...this is an insult to our ancestors! Don't you feel humiliated? Even the Holy Buddha, you are considered a disciple of the Three Saints, yet the Joyful Union God Emperor insults your sect's sages like this, and the Sumeru Holy Realm doesn't care? The Western Buddha Emperor doesn't care either?"

"Heh... Is it really an insult? I don't think so!"

"how you said that?"

"These days, the disciples of the Sumeru Sacred Realm always talk about Amitabha Buddha, while they seem to have forgotten about Sunlight King Bodhisattva and Moonlight King Bodhisattva. They don't want to mention them unless necessary. Is this really just a result of factional struggles within Buddhism? If you ask me, I'm afraid it's..."

"Alright, benefactor, there's no need for further words. Our Sumeru Sacred Realm has long held a consensus on this matter, so please give this old monk some face."

"Oh, since the Holy Buddha has spoken, I won't say any more. However, some fellow Daoists said before that 'the Eternal Life Divine Dynasty has collapsed and the Eternal Life Divine Emperor has passed away.' I just want to say that the Divine Dynasty has indeed collapsed, but the Eternal Life Divine Emperor... is he really dead? He was a Divine Emperor who called himself Eternal Life!"

"The same goes for the Sky-Splitting Demon Emperor of the Sky-Splitting Demon Butterfly clan. Is he really dead? There was a rumor that Sky-Splitting Demon Butterflies could be seen in the Myriad Caves Mountain near the River Styx."

"The Immortal Granny Palace does still exist, but did their first ancestor, the Immortal Granny, really bury herself under the moon as the legend says?"

"The waters of the Three Thousand Worlds are too deep. I wonder what the Joyful Union God Emperor intends to do by bringing these things up?"

"Perhaps His Majesty wants to experience the taste of these ancestors? After all, if we can't see them in person, we can only experience it in books."

"I'm a farmer, and this is sugar beet."

Chapter 235 The Joyful Union Emperor: Dual Cultivation of Witchcraft and Magic

In the Hehuan Divine Court, in that celestial palace without a dome, on a high platform, on a huge cloud bed, Loran lay comfortably, surrounded by several peerless beauties.

Dressed lightly but still retaining her haughty demeanor, the Western Wilderness Empress felt her magical power increasing at an extremely slow pace, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

It should be noted that he had been a God Emperor for some time now, and his realm had long been stable. For a God Emperor, increasing their magical power was an extremely difficult task.

Moreover, this magical power is growing at an extremely stable rate. Although it is slow, it is solid and stable enough.

Even when discussing slowness, comparisons are necessary.

His daily increase in magical power is now equivalent to a year's worth of hard work in the past, and the rate of increase in magical power has increased hundreds of times, which is much faster.

"Your 'Nationwide Harmony Plan' actually worked?" The Western Wilderness Empress looked at Loran, who was resting with her eyes closed, with some surprise and asked curiously, "How exactly did you achieve this plan? Can dual cultivation be done remotely without a partner?"

Loran opened one eye and looked at her.

"Who says my plan for universal union of lovers doesn't have any partners for dual cultivation? I have plenty of partners for dual cultivation!"

The Empress of the Western Wilderness rolled her eyes dramatically.

"You're still using that old theory of cultivating the sun, moon, heaven, and earth, aren't you? Stop lying to me. Do you think I wouldn't sense a connection with heaven and earth?"

“I can vaguely sense the so-called dual cultivation partner,” the Western Wilderness Empress’s eyes showed a hint of apprehension, “that is a single, no, many, at least a hundred, entities of power that are no less than me, and even stronger than me.”

"Your perception is so vague, you can't see its true form at all. Where did you find these suckers? Dual cultivation? It's clearly just one-way exploitation of these suckers." The Western Wilderness Empress scoffed at Loran's statement.

Loran was not annoyed by the mockery from the Western Wilderness. Instead, he smiled and put his arm around the other man's muscular waist.

"Madam is so intelligent, perhaps she had already guessed it!"

Xihuang gave Loran a cold laugh.

"Although I cannot determine the location of those suckers, I can still vaguely see their true identities from the erotic stories you wrote."

The Western Wilderness Empress stared intently at Loran, who had repeatedly pushed the limits of her understanding of human courage and thought processes.

"So you're setting your sights on those restricted areas now, aren't you?"

The forbidden zone of life is a topic that cannot be ignored in a world where immortals and mortals are separated, yet the top-level combat power is off the charts. It is also a taboo topic in the Three Thousand Worlds.

Long, long ago, according to some researchers, roughly 30 million years ago in the ancient era, a group of giants of light... uh, wrong story, a group of ancient immortals from the upper realm, for some reason, severed the ascension passage between the Three Thousand Worlds and the Immortal Realm.

Originally, after becoming an emperor, one should expand one's Great Dao to be on par with the heavens, and then take a leap to overcome the tribulation of becoming an immortal. This would allow one to break free from the shackles of the world and ascend to the immortal realm to become an immortal.

However, this path to ascension was blocked by the immortals of the celestial realm, leaving a large number of god-emperors stranded in the lower realms, waiting to die in despair. At the same time, deprived of the nourishment of the celestial realm, the spiritual energy of the three thousand worlds gradually withered.

Previously, the ascension of the God Emperor to the Immortal Realm was a good thing for the Three Thousand Worlds.

The ascension of the God Emperor briefly connected the Immortal Realm with the Three Thousand Worlds. The huge fluctuations caused by the God Emperor's ascension caused the pure immortal energy of the Immortal Realm to flow back into the Three Thousand Worlds, nourishing them.

This could be considered a kind of exchange, exchanging a God Emperor for the nourishment of the Immortal Realm. It's like the Yao Guang Holy Land taking Weiwei away from the Lingxu Cave Heaven, but in return, it will reward the Lingxu Cave Heaven with resources and benefits.

Therefore, in the ancient times, the flourishing of cultivation and the lifespan of cultivators were far greater than they are now.

This is not a big deal for the Three Thousand Worlds. It just means that cultivators will live a few less years. The world will not be destroyed because of it.

The real trouble is these god-emperors who remain in the mortal realm. They have no hope of ascending to immortality, cannot live forever, and are unwilling to die of old age. So they lie dormant in some dangerous and special places where they can slow down the passage of their lifespan, and prolong their lives by sleeping and sealing themselves.

Their greatest hope is to wait for the ascension channel to reopen.

When these god-emperors are about to collapse, they will emerge to harvest the three thousand worlds, using the endless essence of human life to brew a great medicine to prolong their lives, which are as fragile as candles in the wind.

Then leave some seeds, wait until they grow to their full potential, and then jump out to harvest them.

The major powers of the Three Thousand Worlds do not know much about the secrets of these forbidden zones, because civilizations have suffered many periods of interruption and destruction. Only powers like the Dragon Court of the Myriad Dragons World, which have produced many generations of God Emperors, can endure for a long time.

“There are at least a hundred elderly God Emperors in those forbidden zones, so you'd better be careful.” The Western Wilderness Empress said solemnly.

"Keeping those parasites around will only drive up the spiritual resources of the Three Thousand Worlds!" Loran sneered. "Isn't this just giving them a job of self-sacrifice? Making them the furnaces of the entire universe."

"How exactly did you do that?" Xihuang asked, puzzled. "Just with a few erotic novels?"

"It's witchcraft! I've incorporated witchcraft into the Love Affair Technique!"

"Witchcraft?" The Western Wilderness was even more puzzled.

Loran smiled and said, "What is your understanding of witchcraft, Madam? Voodoo dolls? Suppression? Curses? Poisoning? Witchcraft doesn't seem to be very popular in the Western Wilderness World where you come from."

"That's true. Witchcraft is a product of ancient times, and there are indeed not many people who understand it now."

"But the essence of witchcraft is actually very close to the essence of spiritual practice."

"Oh? Tell me more." The Western Wilderness became interested.

"All magic is based on the principle of communion. Communion describes an interactive relationship between living beings and the world, between different natures, and between living beings and extraordinary objects."

"Therefore, sympathy gives rise to two basic laws—the law of similarity and the law of contact. Magic performed according to the law of similarity is called similarity magic, and magic performed according to the law of contact is called contact magic."

"The so-called voodoo doll is a kind of witchcraft. The principle is that the witch uses a small doll she makes to imitate the object of the curse, thereby establishing a kind of communication. Then, by relying on this connection, whatever harm is done to the doll, the object of the curse will suffer the same harm."

"And by taking a part of you, such as your blood, your flesh, or even your birth date and time, to curse you from afar, this is contact witchcraft. This is also why cultivators regard everything about themselves as extremely important, because in ancient times, if you did not carefully hide yourself, you might be cursed by someone one day."

"Now that you mention it, I understand." Xihuang reacted quickly. "In the last battle when I unified the Western Wilderness, the Xia clan used a great divine power called 'Severing the Yellow Springs'. Relying on a series of rituals, songs, dances and music that seemed inexplicable to me, they remotely summoned a sword intent from their ancestor."

"Thinking about it this way, those inexplicable sacrificial songs and dances are actually imitating a classic battle of their ancestors. They are establishing a connection with their ancestors through imitation, so their attack on me is equivalent to the Xia clan ancestors attacking me?"

“This is a very profound form of witchcraft.” Loran nodded, then changed the subject, “By the same token, since witchcraft can establish a connection between two unrelated entities, why can’t it be used for dual cultivation?”

“In ancient times, witchcraft was closely related to the principles of yin and yang in relation to reproduction and procreation.”

"In ancient times, a rain-seeking ritual called Sanghe was prevalent. This witchcraft believed that the heavens were the father and the earth the mother, and that the union of heaven and earth was like the union of husband and wife. When heaven and earth moved and released their energy, the wind howled and thunder roared, and clouds and rain were generated, just like the mating of men and women, where they were in ecstasy and their essences were combined. Therefore, the intercourse of men and women was also called 'cloud and rain.' The rain-seeking ritual of Sanghe involved female and male witches entering a mulberry forest to have intercourse. Using a principle similar to witchcraft, they made heaven and earth, like humans, unite their energy and release abundant rain."

"The most typical example is those women who conceive by sensing the energy of heaven and earth. My Jumang divine body, and your Taibai divine body, my lady, how did they come about? They are nothing more than products of the interaction between the great Dao of heaven and earth and human beings."

"The Holy Ancestor had no father and was born from divine inspiration. Is this still the Dragon Clan's explanation for the origin of the Ancestral Dragon?"

The Empress of the Western Wilderness seemed to be deep in thought.

"So, by spreading those pornographic books through the so-called 'National Harmony Project,' deliberately pointing the content and characters in those pornographic books to the supreme beings in those forbidden zones, you are actually constructing a large-scale similar law witchcraft covering three thousand worlds?"

"That seemingly inexplicable love cultivation technique is actually designed to complement witchcraft, directing the target of sexual intercourse to the object targeted by the witchcraft, thereby enabling each practitioner of this technique to establish dual cultivation with the supreme being of the forbidden zone?"

“That’s right! Madam is wise, you’ve hit the nail on the head!” Loran affirmed.

The Western Wilderness Empress was still puzzled: "But how can you guarantee that the connection established in this way will be for all living beings to nourish the Supreme Being, rather than for the Supreme Being to use this connection to more conveniently nourish all living beings?"

"All living beings are but a swarm of ants, while the supreme being is a divine dragon lurking in the deepest abyss. Even if a connection is established, how can ants possibly overpower a divine dragon?"

Loran sneered: "Madam, what kind of dragons are those supreme beings? You and I are the dragons, those old fellows are just old elephants nearing the end of their lives!"

"So what if they are ants? As long as the power of ants can be organized and concentrated, ants can also kill an elephant."

Xihuang still hadn't solved his doubts: "That's true, but how do you gather the power of these ants together?"

Loran smiled slightly and took out his imperial weapon—the Yin-Yang Harmony Gourd.

He slightly opened the seal on the gourd, allowing the Western Wilderness to briefly glimpse the scene inside.

The divine eyes of the Western Wilderness were immediately startled upon seeing this.

"I understand. You still weren't telling the truth before."

"What do you mean by connecting the Supreme Being with all living beings? You're clearly connecting all living beings with this gourd of yours. No wonder the visualization diagram of the cultivation method you distributed was shaped like a gourd."

"You gathered the power of all living beings through this imperial weapon gourd, and then connected the gourd with the Supreme Being. No wonder the protagonists of your little yellow books all have the surname Hu, and there are so many Hu Shengs. I was wondering, you lecherous thief, your surname is Luo, not Hu! Hu means gourd!"

"So essentially, you are using this witchcraft to deceive all living beings and then use that power to empower yourself. You then use overwhelming force to continuously replenish the supreme beings in the forbidden zone, and then feed back a portion of the replenished cultivation to all living beings. This gives them a taste of the benefits, making them more motivated and thus increasing their support for you!"

"Well, you've turned the art of lovemaking into a middleman's business!"

Loran was displeased.

"How dare you slander me, my lady? What do you mean by deception, what do you mean by being a middleman?"

"I am called a leader, a leader who gathers the power of all living beings to overthrow the supreme ruler of the forbidden zone."

"This isn't deception, this is politics, the imperial art of the God Emperor, understand?"

Xihuang sneered, but then suddenly realized something was off.

"By the way, although what you did might have succeeded, why didn't it provoke a counterattack from those supreme beings in the forbidden zones?"

Loran smiled and said, "Madam, why don't you guess again? I'll give you a hint: why isn't your magical power increasing at a faster rate?"

Xihuang quickly realized what was going on.

"Hiss~ You're so cunning!"

"When you were absorbing the essence of these supreme beings, you were extracting only a tiny amount each time, based on the number of countless beings, right?"
