Chapter 11 Demonic Cult and Underground Tunnel
Chapter 11 Demonic Cult and Underground Tunnel
Having completely stabilized his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Kunpeng was not in a hurry to emerge from seclusion.
The higher one's cultivation level, the more one understands the vastness of the world.
Although the Great Luo Golden Immortal is said to be immortal and indestructible, in the face of immeasurable calamities, he is nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
Only by attaining the Primordial Dao Fruit can one truly achieve indestructibility through countless eons and roam freely beyond the heavens and earth.
"Now that I have swallowed the Styx River, I possess the origins of two top-tier innate divine beings."
In terms of the depth of one's origins, even the Three Pure Ones, transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, would probably pale in comparison to me.
Although the Three Pure Ones are powerful, their strength lies in their merits in creating the world and the primordial spirit of Pangu.
Kunpeng, on the other hand, has now combined the strengths of both schools and integrated them into a coherent whole, thus establishing a solid foundation for proving the Dao of Hunyuan.
However, having a solid foundation does not mean one can rest easy.
Kunpeng knew that once one reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, further advancement required not only diligent study of the laws and accumulation of magical power, but also, and perhaps more importantly, the mysterious and profound fortune and merit.
Kunpeng's divine sense sank into the depths of his sea of consciousness.
Within that vast legacy of memories, a faint glimmer of light flickers.
That was originally an opportunity that belonged to Kunpeng—the nascent form of demonic script!
The original Kunpeng perfected the three thousand demonic scripts by observing the stars, mountains, rivers, and all things in the universe.
He used this to educate all the demons, enabling all demons in the world to awaken their intelligence and inherit their cultivation techniques. In the end, he was made a demon master by Emperor Jun and Taiyi and enjoyed the fortune of the demon race.
Now, the rudimentary method for creating demonic script has already been passed down in his primordial spirit.
He only needs to spend time perfecting it before the demon script can be released ahead of schedule.
This is a great opportunity that could cause the Heavenly Dao to bestow profound merit!
"However, a mere demon master, despite his impressive title, is in reality nothing more than a subject under Emperor Jun and Taiyi, subject to their control, and ultimately falls short."
"If I'm going to do this good deed, I'll do it thoroughly!"
"I will not be a sorcerer; I will... establish a sorcerer's cult!"
With demonic script as the cornerstone of its doctrines and Beiming as the ancestral home of the demonic sect, it gathered all the demons in the world and established a supreme sect that could rival the Jie Sect, Chan Sect, and Buddhism in the future!
This action does not mean that Kunpeng truly wants to dedicate himself to the demon race.
He could see clearly that in the primordial world, the matter of destiny was mysterious and profound, yet of paramount importance.
The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the need for luck.
Even the lofty and supreme Heavenly Saints are not immune to this.
Otherwise, why would Fuxi and Nuwa be willing to risk great calamities just to get involved with the demon race?
One is the demon emperor Xi Huang, and the other is the demon emperor Nuwa?
Why did all the sages of later generations, without exception, establish their own great religions and vie for the destiny of heaven and earth?
All this is because fortune is the foundation for enlightenment and an indestructible guarantee!
"Now that the initial calamity of the Dragon and Han dynasties has ended, the struggle between the Dao and the Demon is about to begin."
After the conflict between the Dao and the Demonic Path ends, the next great calamity will be the struggle for supremacy between the Lich and the Demonic Path!
"The Wu Clan is formed from the essence and blood of Pangu. They have strong physical bodies, are arrogant and exclusive. They only respect the great god Pangu, and do not worship heaven and earth or honor the Dao Ancestor."
"Of course I could never become the leader of that witchcraft cult."
"Therefore, if we want to share in the protagonist's immense fortune in the next great calamity, the only way is to set our sights on the demon race!"
He established a demon cult ahead of time and became the ancestor of all demons.
At that time, he will be the rightful supreme ruler of the demon race!
Even if Di Jun and Tai Yi were to be born in the future and establish the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, in terms of law and tradition, they would still have to respect him as the leader!
In this way, one can enjoy the immense fortune and merit of the demon race and share in the greatest benefits of this great calamity.
Kunpeng's gaze fell once again upon the boundless sea of blood beneath him.
"The origin of the Styx River is closely related to the affairs of the underworld and the cycle of reincarnation."
He inherited the origin of the Styx River, and naturally knew that this Netherworld Blood Sea was a place where primordial filth gathered, and the final resting place of the remnants of countless dead souls.
Logically speaking, the most suitable candidate to be the ruler of the six realms of reincarnation should not be Houtu.
It should be the Styx Ancestor who was born to be stationed here.
"It is clear that there must be some calculation by Heaven involved in this."
The Heavenly Dao is supreme, Hongjun merged with the Dao, the Six Sages returned to their positions, and ruled over the primordial world.
Although humanity is insignificant, it has produced countless figures, from Nuwa who created humans to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and its lineage continues unbroken.
This tunnel, however, has always been suppressed, and can even be described as incomplete.
"If the River Styx were to establish reincarnation, relying on this boundless sea of blood, the Underworld would awaken, and might even give birth to an Underworld Lord capable of rivaling the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun!"
"This is absolutely not what Heaven wants to see."
"Therefore, the Heavenly Dao will inevitably suppress the Styx River, and may even induce Houtu to reincarnate."
"Letting Houtu be reborn is a plan that kills two birds with one stone."
"Firstly, Houtu was an ancestral witch. Her transformation into reincarnation meant the dissipation of her physical body, making it impossible for her to form the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, which was powerful enough to threaten the Heavenly Saints. This directly severed the foundation of the witch clan and pushed the witch-demon calamity towards mutual destruction."
"Secondly, Houtu has no primordial spirit. After reincarnation, she can only rely on the true spirit of Lady Pingxin to exist. Although she has immeasurable merits, she is trapped in the six realms of reincarnation for eternity and cannot truly control the complete power of the earthly path."
In this way, the Earthly Way will forever be subordinate to the Heavenly Way, becoming its appendage.
"A brilliant plan, truly a brilliant plan!"
"The original Styx was unfathomable, and I lacked the power to contend with it. But I am different!"
"Now that I have swallowed the Styx River, I am the master of this Blood Sea. I also know the future trends, and I hold in my hands the Pure World White Lotus, a supreme treasure that can purify karma and suppress destiny."
"If I could comprehend the true meaning of reincarnation before Houtu, and establish the Six Paths of Reincarnation within this sea of blood..."
"Then I shall be the Lord of the Underground!"
"At that time, I will hold the Book of Life and Death, wield the Judge's Pen, and command countless ghosts and gods. In terms of status, I will be on par with Dao Ancestor Hongjun! In terms of strength, with the aid of the power of the Earth, I can suppress all the sages of the heavens!"
This is the true path to heaven!
In comparison, the titles of "Demon Master" and "Holy Position" seem rather petty.
"Of course, to do this would certainly be feared by Heaven and would be extremely dangerous, so it cannot be rushed."
Kunpeng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in his heart.
He's not strong enough yet.
We must proceed cautiously, accumulating sufficient strength and merit before undertaking this heaven-defying act when the time is ripe.
"First, establish a demonic sect to gather fortune and use merit to push your cultivation to the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm."
"Let's proceed slowly and methodically, planning for reincarnation!"
Having made this grand vow, Kunpeng suddenly felt his Dao heart clear and his future path bright.
He stopped thinking about it and closed his eyes again.
His consciousness sank into the depths of his sea of consciousness, and he began to fully comprehend the rudimentary form of the three thousand demonic scripts in the inheritance.
Each demonic script corresponds to a law or anomaly in the universe.
This is not only about creating written language, but also about re-examining and understanding the myriad principles of the universe.
As he deduced, ancient and desolate runes, imbued with boundless demonic power, continuously emerged in his dantian, evolving into all sorts of incredible supernatural abilities.
Time flew by during this tedious yet fulfilling period of seclusion.
I don't know how much time has passed, maybe 90,000 years, maybe even longer.
This day.
The Kunpeng, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened its eyes and looked sharply toward the western part of the primordial world.
"BOOM—!!!"
A terrifying explosion that resounded throughout the entire primordial world came from the distant western Mount Sumeru.
Immediately afterwards, a destructive aura, powerful enough to make even a Great Luo Golden Immortal tremble, swept across the heavens and earth.
The entire primordial world trembled violently. On the western land, countless spiritual veins collapsed, and earth, water, fire, and wind raged, staining the sky blood-red.
Boundless demonic energy and resentment surged into the sky.
At the same time, Heaven, sensing the situation, sent down boundless rain of blood, and a sorrowful atmosphere permeated the entire world.
Heaven and earth are sad!
This is an unusual phenomenon that only occurs when a top-tier powerful being falls or when the foundation of heaven and earth is damaged.
Kunpeng slowly rose and stood above the sea of blood, gazing indifferently at the devastated west.
"The battle between the Dao and the Demonic has come to an end."
