Chapter 792: Ancient Demon Avenue
"Still the Emperor of Heaven?"
Chu Tai was a little surprised. He originally thought that this thing that could bypass the influence of the Donghuang Bell was the core problem, but he didn't expect that the biggest problem was the Emperor of Heaven.
After thinking for a while, Chu Tai asked again: "May I ask, Lord Zhen, is the Heavenly Emperor who manifested the Tao and transformed the heavens really that important?"
True Lord Qingshi was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "It's more important than you think. That person has reached the extreme of the acquired path and has taken a big step forward. I even suspect that he is only one step away from becoming a Dao Lord in Daluo Heaven."
"Back then, when I was discussing with Hunyuan about the issue of the immortals and the Great Heaven and the Great Heaven, I always thought that if the Emperor of Heaven had not been asleep, Taiyi's original idea would have succeeded and there would not have been so many messy things. I would also be able to free up my hands to clean out those rubbish..."
Hearing this, Chu Tai could feel that the True Lord glanced in the direction of the Central Plains.
In contrast, Shou Dao Ren was awakened from a dream. When the [Filthy Demon] appeared just now, his expression was very ugly. Now he finally recovered and looked at Zhenjun with a shocked face and said, "Master, what evil thing is this?"
As he spoke, there was even a slight ripple in his aura.
Chu Tai and the incarnation of Dong Huang were both a little surprised. After True Lord Qing Shi lowered his innate Qi to sort out their auras, he slowly spoke: "Did you comprehend the power in the Dao Fruit fragment just now?"
"Disciple...disciple..."

When Taoist Shou heard this, he trembled all over and bowed hurriedly, feeling very nervous.
Zhenjun snorted coldly: "As a result, halfway through the practice, his own ideas, personality and the law of the circulation of vital energy have all changed. The foundation has been distorted step by step from the beginning. That's why he hurriedly stopped and asked about the origin of this thing?"
Chu Tai was a little surprised at Zhenjun's stern attitude. He could feel that when Zhenjun said this, many Dharmas of subduing demons, conquering demons, killing demons, exorcising evil, upholding righteousness and returning to the truth were operating within him, as if he wanted to enlighten Taoist Shou.
"Disciple...disciple..."
Taoist Shou seemed to be stupid and could only answer like this.
After a nearly silent sigh, the True Lord scolded again: "That's enough. Look at yourself now. Do you still look like a Kunlun Immortal?"
There was an infinite [Purity] Dharma meaning contained in his words. Chu Tai even felt a wisp of [Origin] Dharma meaning. With [Purity] as the foundation, it pulled Shou Daoren's mind back to [Origin] and then went downstream to sort out his mind.
Chu Tai's eyes lit up, and he silently memorized this magical power. After this change, Shou Daoren finally calmed down. He looked at the [Filthy Demon] with great fear and said, "The Way of the Heavenly Demon!"
Chu Tai was stunned for a moment, and True Lord Qingshi coughed and explained: "The way of the devil that Shou Tong'er mentioned is not the way of the devil now, but a very ancient way of the devil. Most of it was seized by the current devil, and part of it was sealed, and part of it was occupied by the Buddha devil."
"Now the magic of the other-transformed free heaven magic and the self-transformed free heaven magic, the wonderful method of the great free Brahma of the Buddhist and demonic ways and the wonderful method of the Brahma dream are all considered its branches. The foundation of that path lies in dreams and eternity. It can interpret the fate of living beings according to their seven emotions and six desires, past lives, and play with truth and falsehood, and confuse the light of the universe. It can place eternity in dreams, and it can also turn eternity into an empty dream."
At this point, the True Lord paused and said, "Even for an existence like me, whose Dao Fruit is almost perfect, this ancient demon path can also weave a self-circulating dead end based on my original intention to pursue the Dao when I first entered the Dao, and use the emotions and insights I gained during the practice as an opportunity, or lead me into a dead end that cannot be proven by myself, in order to seize my Dao Fruit."
"Shou Tong'er was previously trapped in a vicious cycle by similar means, and was unable to free himself. Even if he thought he had found a flaw and jumped out of the cycle, it was actually just a powerless struggle, and he would eventually fall into the cycle again."
Chu Tai thought for a moment and asked, "May I ask, Master Zhenjun, has Fellow Daoist Shou really recovered now?"
"You are very smart. Shou Tong'er hasn't recovered yet."
Zhenjun’s answer stunned Shou Daoren for a moment, and he hurriedly bowed to ask the reason.
"You can already tell that it is the way of the ancient demon? But you still don't know why you haven't recovered?"
Although Zhenjun's voice was calm, Shou Daoren became very depressed.
"You should know that when you realize the way of the ancient demon, it means that this path has left an unsolvable dead loop in your Dao fruit. The reason you can return to normal now is that I used the [Original] Dharma that I comprehended to guide you back to the original state. After you understand your original intention, I use the innate Qi to wrap the [Pure] Dharma to protect your past."
"In essence, your current path has been covered by me, and your cultivation is not completely independent. Just like those little guys in the Sovereign Demonic Path, they are essentially derivatives of the Sovereign Demonic Path."

Taoist Shou knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the innate Qi and said, "I am an incompetent disciple, and I have made my master work so hard."
"You are incompetent, and I am disappointed, but it is not because you are affected by the ancient demon path. This path is extremely dangerous. In order to suppress it, the demon almost went crazy. Even after it came out, it was no longer the same path as before. Although the power faced by the twenty-two post-saint emperors of Xianxian Daohua Datian is more powerful, the power of that aura is indeed similar to that of the ancient demon path, and they were also affected to a certain extent."
"I can't break free even with my cultivation level, so how can I blame you? I'm disappointed that you seem to have doubts about yourself. You pursue longevity, immortality, immortality, and health. There's nothing wrong with that. You've always been on this path, and even now you're practicing step by step. With the continuous expansion of Dongyue Divine Court, as a deity who holds some power over life span, it's no problem for you to enter the second rank. Why are you so obsessed with unorthodox practices?"
At this point, Zhenjun's words became a little harsh.
"I was summoned by you to watch you begin to comprehend the principles of the [Filthy Demon] and to deduce the mysteries within it, but you ended up being stuck in it and unable to extricate yourself. This is what disappointed me. All these years of my teaching and your years of practice have made you feel inferior to the principles contained in a fifth-grade Dao Fruit fragment? To the point where you have doubts and let the aura seize the opportunity to leave a dead end in your Dao Fruit?"
Upon seeing this, Chu Tai hurried forward to persuade him, saying that he was the one who invited Taoist Shou to help this time and that he also had a certain responsibility, and asked Zhenjun if he had any way to rescue him.
"This is not your problem. If Shou Tong'er doesn't change his mind, he will face similar demonic tribulations sooner or later. Even if he doesn't encounter the ancient Heavenly Demon Dao this time, my former fellow Daoist, the current Heavenly Demon Dao Master, will definitely take action against him in the future. Unless he is willing to ascend to Daluo Heaven, he will not be able to escape."
"As for the solution, this catastrophe is actually a good thing for him. The methods he learned originally overlapped with mine to a great extent. After I cover it up this time, as long as he can break free from my principles, his Dao fruit will naturally be reorganized. At that time, the so-called deadlock will be the cornerstone for him to make further progress."
The True Lord's words, combined with his previous words, have made it very clear that this disaster is also an opportunity for Shou Dao Ren. Rather than letting him encounter danger in a place where the True Lord cannot see, it is better to let Shou Dao Ren encounter trouble under his nose. However, Shou Dao Ren's performance did not satisfy the True Lord, so he scolded him. In this regard, Chu Tai naturally could not continue to persuade him, so he could only change the subject.
"It sounds like the True Lord has been able to confirm that these auras are the ways of the ancient demons?"
"It should be said that the Dao of the Ancient Heavenly Demon is part of this aura, and this is what Shou Tong'er's changes have confirmed for me. In the past, although my fellow Daoists Hunyuan and Yuli and I have deduced the origin of this aura, we cannot be sure of its core concept. After all, we cannot use other people's Dao Fruits to test the extent to which this aura can affect us."
At this point, Zhenjun's tone became quite fearful: "But now that I am sure that this breath contains the way of the ancient demon, I am a little worried. Is this breath of the ancient demon gradually derived after it came to our great heaven, or is it something it has in the immortal world? If it is the former, it is easy to say, but if it is the latter..."
Chu Tai immediately understood what the other party meant. If the ancient demon's way originated from the Dongji Chenguang Great Heaven, then this kind of change would still be a problem within the Great Heaven.
But if both sides of the heavens have similar roads, then the greatest possibility is that this road itself is the road of a certain Taoist master in Daluo Heaven, or a similar existence, and with the opening up of heaven and earth, it naturally appeared in the two sides of the heavens.
This means that there are many other factors behind the changes in the two sides.
In the worst case scenario, it might even be that a certain Taoist master from Daluo Heaven interfered with the original connection two days ago.
In that case, what's the point of all their efforts?
Chu Tai's mind was shaken a little, and he immediately realized something was wrong. He looked inward and silently visualized the Donghuang Bell.
The ancient bell suspended on the side swayed gently, and invisible ripples fell on Chu Tai's body, triggering the Donghuang Bell visualized in his mind to sway along with it. The two bells resonated, and waves of ripples emerged from Chu Tai's body, bringing with them wisps of breath.
Looking at that breath, Chu Tai was shocked and couldn't help feeling a little scared that he was actually affected by the power of the ancient demon without realizing it.
Seeing this, True Lord Qingshi smiled and said, "Yes, you finally found the problem. The more terrifying thing about the Ancient Heavenly Demon's Way is that when you come into contact with the opponent, the opponent has already begun to exert influence on you. Unless someone like you is an incarnation, whose essence is a treasure of extremely high status, it is impossible to resist it."
Hearing this, the Donghuang incarnation smiled and said, "So I have the least problem?"
"You don't have any big problems. In fact, the Way of the Ancient Demon is actually a help to you."
Zhenjun chuckled and began to explain the relationship.
"In ancient times, the Way of the Ancient Demon was also a major driving force in inspiring the emotions and spirituality of all living beings. Many originally unconscious dead things also gained spirituality because of the Way of the Ancient Demon."
"In this regard, the Dao of the Ancient Heavenly Demon and your [Taiyi] Dao Fruit actually have some overlap."
"After all, all the changes and choices of the Ancient Heavenly Demon's Dao are within the scope of your [Taiyi] Dao Fruit. As for the eternity and dreams it pursues, they are essentially the [One] and [All] that it finally obtains."
"At the same time, because the ancient demon path of our Great Heaven has been torn apart, now as long as you know the ancient demon path, it will be much easier to prevent it in the future, especially when you have mastered similar Dao Fruits, you can take a look at its changes."

After the True Lord gave Chu Tai a few words of advice, he stretched out his hand and the Dao Fruit fragment [Filthy Demon] fell into the innate Qi. With the stimulation of the innate Qi, it transformed again and changed towards the fourth grade.
During this period, Chu Tai saw that the aura of many Dao Fruit fragments around the Donghuang Bell was absorbed by the innate Qi and integrated into the changing [Evil Demon].
This time, Chu Tai clearly saw the reason why he was unable to grasp the changes before.
The aura itself was driving the changes of the Dao Fruit fragments according to their "will", which was equivalent to directly affecting the premise of the choice. However, he was focused on the current choice, so he did not notice the problem.
Or perhaps it was because the other party's influence on the selection was so subtle that Chu Tai didn't even notice the problem.
But now that he knows the ways of the ancient demon, these changes and influences become very noticeable.
Chu Tai watched as the innate Qi was constantly correcting and guiding, and even drove the Dao Fruit fragments to change in the normal direction like the ancient demon's way, constantly testing the limits of that breath.
Finally, a brand new fourth-grade Dao Fruit fragment [Bodhi Tree God] appeared in front of Chu Tai.
The plague, viruses, filth and disease in the body of the [Filthy Demon] are retained independently, and even the independence of its internal organs is retained. The [Bodhi Tree God] is still an aggregate rather than an independent individual.
But compared to the extreme pollution of the [filthy demon], the [Bodhi Tree God] has the ability to guide the plague, virus, filth and disease in the body, endow it with spirituality and wisdom, and endow it with emotion and resonance, allowing it to absorb similar power externally and finally return it to the [Bodhi Tree God].
The external manifestation is that wherever it passes, all plagues, viruses, filth and diseases will disappear, and the bodies of all people and creatures affected by the disaster will be repaired, their broken limbs will grow again, and even when necessary, the activated organs in the body of the [Bodhi Tree God] can divide on their own to save more people.
All living beings rescued by the Bodhi Tree God will have a subtle connection with him, which will help him sense the seven emotions and six desires of the human world and stabilize his own emotions. It is also the foundation for maintaining the spiritual wisdom of many organs, plagues, viruses, filth and diseases. Once these blessings are lost, plagues, viruses, filth and diseases will return to the Bodhi Tree God again, corroding his body, destroying his spirituality and wisdom until self-destruction.
Looking at this brand new fragment of the Dao Fruit, Chu Tai felt that it seemed even more bizarre. If it weren't for the final transformation of saving all living beings and being rewarded by them, this fragment of the Dao Fruit would be even more terrifying than the [Evil Demon], because if it was not handled properly it would become a nest that continuously created a large number of [Evil Demons].
But the restricted [Bodhi Tree God] is not much better, and it feels like it is forcing people to be good.
