Chapter 407: True Demon resonance, destiny guidance

Su Chen looked at Qiao Ling before him, his eyes filled with appreciation.

"Sit." Su Chen pointed to the stone stool opposite.

Qiao Ling sat down as instructed.

Although he practiced the Demon Dao, there was not a trace of violence around him; instead, he exuded a sense of purity that broke through all constraints.

Su Chen saw this scene and nodded slightly; it seemed that his disciple's Great Freedom Demon Dao had already begun to take shape.

"Between master and disciple, no need for formalities." Su Chen picked up the teapot and poured a cup of clear tea for Qiao Ling. "Did you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation? Or are you missing any heavenly treasures? Just say it."

Su Chen was extremely satisfied with this disciple of his; as long as he could help, he would never be stingy.

Qiao Ling took the teacup with both hands but did not drink.

He frowned slightly, a trace of confusion appearing in his originally calm eyes.

"Master, disciple did not encounter a bottleneck in cultivation." Qiao Ling put down the teacup, his voice carrying a bit of hesitation. "For the past half year, when disciple was in seclusion deducing the Great Freedom Demon Dao, I always sensed a call from the dark."

Su Chen's gaze condensed, and the hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air.

"Oh, a call?"

"Yes." Qiao Ling nodded. "That call arose from the heart, intermittent. Every time the call sounded, the Demon Dao origin within disciple would resonate with it, making my heart restless, and I couldn't continue to enter meditation at all."

Su Chen put down the teacup, his index finger tapping the table habitually again.

His brain spun rapidly.

His first reaction was that the Fomen was playing tricks.

Qiao Ling was the reincarnation of Tathagata and was now an enemy of the Fomen.

Over these years, the Fomen had never given up on finding him, but they had turned the Three Realms upside down and hadn't found him.

It was hard to guarantee that it wasn't some great power of the Fomen using some means, designing a trap to lure Qiao Ling out.

But this thought had just arisen when Su Chen pushed it over himself.

Qiao Ling gathered the only True Demon destiny in the Three Realms.

The Heavenly Dao emphasized balance, and the Demon Dao was born in response to the calamity, protected by Heavenly Dao laws.

Even the two Sages of the West didn't dare to forcibly calculate Qiao Ling's origin; others in the Fomen couldn't possibly use Heavenly Dao means to disturb Qiao Ling's spiritual platform.

Since it wasn't the Fomen's calculation, there was only one truth.

Su Chen stopped his finger tapping the table and looked at Qiao Ling with burning eyes.

"Where is the direction you sensed?" Su Chen asked.

Qiao Ling closed his eyes, sensed carefully for a moment, and pointed to the west.

"That direction."

Su Chen followed the direction Qiao Ling pointed, a trace of brilliance flashing in his eyes.

That was the direction of Xiniu Xiuniu Hezhou.

Su Chen nodded slightly and told Qiao Ling his guess.

"Disciple, this shouldn't be a calamity, but your opportunity." Su Chen's tone was firm.

Qiao Ling showed confusion upon hearing this.

"You now carry massive Demon Dao destiny and are the only True Demon of the current age." Su Chen explained. "The Fomen is at its peak, and the Heavenly Dao needs the Demon Dao to balance the Fomen; naturally, it needs you to grow quickly. The Tathagata foundation within you is no longer enough to support your rapid growth; if you want to continue breaking through, relying solely on seclusion and hard practice is not enough."

Su Chen turned around and looked at Qiao Ling.

"That call must be the guidance of Demon Dao destiny. The location you pointed to is the West; in the Primordial Era when heaven and earth first opened, the West was the Daoist site of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. There, there should be a supreme creation hidden that is enough to make you reborn, most likely the legacy treasure left by the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou."

Qiao Ling's eyes flashed with a trace of light upon hearing this.

But he quickly calmed down, his gaze falling on that position on the map, and his brows frowned again.

"Master, but the West is now the territory of the Fomen." Qiao Ling said in a deep voice.

There must be Arhats everywhere and Bodhisattvas gathered.

Qiao Ling knew his identity very well.

Once he appeared there, if his True Demon aura leaked even a little, he would immediately attract the overwhelming pursuit of the Fomen.

With his current early-stage Golden Immortal cultivation, facing the anger of the entire Lingshan, it would be ten deaths and no life.

"Danger is danger." Su Chen walked back to the stone table and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp. "But opportunity—if heaven gives it and you don't take it, you will suffer the blame."

Su Chen looked at Qiao Ling, his eyes filled with confidence.

"You don't need to worry about the Fomen." Su Chen patted Qiao Ling on the shoulder. "Master is going out of seclusion, and I originally planned to go to Nanzhan Nanjian Buzhou to sever the black hand of the Fomen extracting human destiny. Since your opportunity is in the West and you have to pass through Nanzhan Nanjian Buzhou, it's just on the way, so Master will take you there."

Qiao Ling was stunned, then his expression changed drastically.

"Master wants to go personally? No!" Qiao Ling hurriedly stood up. "The Fomen is powerful; if Master falls into danger because of disciple's opportunity, disciple will be guilty of ten thousand deaths!"

Qiao Ling truly respected Su Chen.

Su Chen not only preserved his self but also taught him the Great Dao.

He would rather not have this opportunity than see Su Chen take risks in the Fomen's hinterland.

Su Chen looked at the anxious Qiao Ling and laughed loudly.

"Danger?" Su Chen stopped laughing. "Disciple, Master is not who I was back then."

Before the words fell, a terrifying pressure instantly filled the entire cave dwelling.

This pressure was mixed with the inclusiveness of the Hunyuan Great Dao and carried a terrifying chaos aura.

Qiao Ling looked at Su Chen in shock; he discovered that his Master's strength was much stronger than when he achieved Demon Immortal.

Su Chen restrained his aura, flipped his wrist, and a mass of mysterious yellow light appeared in his palm.

The ancient Chaos Bell rotated slowly in the light, exuding a heavy feeling of suppressing everything.

"Master's physical body is now comparable to an early-stage Semi-Sage, and I hold the Chaos Bell. In the Three Realms, even if a peak Semi-Sage attacks, although Master is not a match, I have the confidence to leave." Su Chen's tone was calm but carried absolute confidence.

He spent six hundred years refining twenty-one innate prohibitions of the Chaos Bell.

Plus the physical body of the seventh turn of "Chaos Nine Turns," his current combat power, even against a top powerhouse of the late-stage Semi-Sage, he could fight and retreat calmly even if he couldn't win.

If it were a peak Semi-Sage, although he couldn't fight, he would have time to escape.

So what if it's the Fomen's territory?

Now that the Saints cannot make a move, he, Su Chen, can go anywhere under heaven.

Qiao Ling looked at the Chaos Bell phantom in Su Chen's palm, and the worry in his heart instantly dissipated.

He took a deep breath and bowed to Su Chen.

"Disciple, all depends on Master's decision!"

Su Chen nodded and put away the Chaos Bell.

"Go and tidy up." Su Chen ordered. "After Master settles the affairs of Mount Huaguo, I will accompany you on a trip."

"Yes." Qiao Ling turned and exited the cave dwelling.

After Qiao Ling left, Su Chen stood alone in the cave dwelling, his gaze looking toward the West.

"Fomen..." Su Chen sneered.

Back then, the Fomen wanted to use the reincarnation of Tathagata to layout, but he intercepted it, leading to the decline of the Fomen's destiny.

Now, the Fomen relies on harvesting human faith, using human destiny to replenish their blood, so he naturally cannot sit idly by.

And now that Qiao Ling, who is a True Demon, is guided by Demon Dao destiny, the spearhead points directly to the West, and Su Chen happens to use this to target the Fomen's layout.

However, before leaving, he still had to explain the affairs of Mount Huaguo. ===== CHAPTER 408 =====
