Chapter 120: Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art: All Roads Lead to the Same Destination【4k】

The Star Sea is vast and boundless, upon a Green Leaf Dharma Boat.

Fang Longye and Jiao Mowang sit opposite each other, the two exchanging cups and chatting happily.

When both sides have the intention to draw close to the other, the conversation is naturally pleasant.

Fang Longye flicks the rippling starlight beside him and asks, "Does Brother know who wishes to summon me? Could it be your master?"

After some conversation, while not exactly frank and open, they have revealed some of their foundations to each other.

Only then does Fang Longye learn that this Jiao Mowang did not simply join the Demon Master Mansion. He is actually a disciple of that person in the North Abyss.

Although it seems to be only a nominal disciple, it is still extraordinary.

He, Fang Longye, may appear to be sought after by others now, as if he has a strong background, but in reality? He is no different from a rogue cultivator~ I wonder what price the Beihai Old Dragon King paid to allow this Jiao Mowang to study under such a famous teacher.

He does not believe the outside rumors about Jiao Mowang rebelling against Longgong in a fit of anger, joining the Demon Master Mansion, and shining brilliantly.

Jiao Mowang drinks a cup of wine, shakes his head, and smiles, "You have misunderstood. The Demon Master Mansion is the Demon Master Mansion, and my master is my master."

"Apart from the name, the Demon Master Mansion does not have much to do with my master. It was merely established by borrowing my master's reputation. Unless it is a life-and-death crisis of being destroyed, my master will not appear here."

Fang Longye understands in his heart. While somewhat disappointed, he is also somewhat relieved.

As expected, I knew it! How could one start with a big move right away? That does not fit the behavior of a high-level expert! If he could easily see that person in the North Abyss, that person would not be honored as the Demon Master by the Demon Clan.

The nature of the Demon Master Mansion is, in essence, no different from the profound gate sects that now cover the Earth Immortal Realm. It is just that their power is a bit greater and their strength a bit more profound.

The Yuanshi Dao Sect, Shangqing Palace, Yuqing Sword Sect, Taishang Dan Sect, Taiqing Temple, Spirit Treasure Sect, and so on, and so forth... there are countless of them.

Can you say that just because their names contain Taishang, Yuanshi, or Shangqing, they were personally founded by Saints?

The status of the Demon Master in this Demon Master Mansion is no different from the status of Saints in these profound gate sects.

They are all supreme deities held high and worshipped daily.

The only force truly established by the existence known as the Demon Master is the Beiming Palace located in the extreme north.

However, one who listens only to one side will be benighted; Fang Longye will not believe Jiao Mowang's claim that the Demon Master Mansion has little connection to that person.

Otherwise, there would not be rumors in the outside world that Jiao Mowang is a person of the Demon Master Mansion.

Seeming to see his skepticism, Jiao Mowang smiles, "Besides that, the connection between the Demon Master Mansion and my master lies in the fact that whenever creatures from the North Abyss emerge, they walk the world in the name of the Demon Master Mansion."

He puts down his Wine Cup, points at Fang Longye, and smiles, "Not to mention me, even you, fellow Daoist, after you register as a Yaofang owner later and leave your image here, in the eyes of the outside world, are you not a person of the Demon Master Mansion?"

"But as for the details inside, I am afraid only you and I know!"

Fang Longye's eyes flicker; there is more to these words than meets the ear! Thinking of the South Sea Dragon Girl who joined the seat of Guanyin on Luojia Mountain of Putuo Island, and the West Sea Little White Dragon who joined the Scripture Seeking team during the Westward Journey and eventually became a Bodhisattva.

It seems this Jiao Mowang is also a chess piece for the Dragon Clan to rope in all sides! And it is very obvious that even after becoming a nominal disciple of that person, he is still 'physically in the Cao camp but his heart is in the Han'.

Jiao Mowang sees him lost in thought and smiles. He looks at the dim and bright starlight before him and drinks a cup of Immortal Brew.

In his view, it is truly a great joy for the Dragon Clan to have such a figure appear! Regardless of what this person's true foundation is, or whether he is a reincarnation of a great power.

But through the resonance with the secret technique he practices, he thinks this clansman, who the Mansion Master says has the 'aptitude of a Yinglong', has already practiced that legendary secret technique of transforming toward an Innate Divine Dragon.

Clearly, he has chosen the Dragon Clan as his foundation for this life; as long as he succeeds, the Dragon Clan will have one more incredible existence, bringing unimaginable luck to the clan.

Unlike him, although he is also on the path of Reverse Innate, if he does not succeed it is fine, but once he succeeds, he will forever be of the Demon Clan, not the Dragon Clan.

Changing one's foundation is extremely difficult. Unless he surpasses his own teacher, he can only help the Dragon Clan seek some benefits within the Demon Clan.

Such thoughts are naturally unknown to others.

If Fang Longye knew of the noble character of this Jiao Mowang who "worries about the country and the people," he would only feel ashamed of himself.

As an existence with a human heart, a demon body, and dragon attributes, Fang Longye has no sense of clan righteousness in his heart.

He chose to belong to the Dragon Clan purely out of consideration for his own interests.

As long as there is enough benefit, such as allowing him to achieve the supreme, even if the price is the destruction of Honghuang, he would not hesitate at all.

Without belonging, he lives only for himself in this life.

Well, it is as if he, who spent half his life drifting in his previous life, was not living for himself.

In short, never expect Fang Longye to give his all for anyone.

If he really knew Jiao Mowang's inner thoughts, that he was actually melancholy about the fact that Reverse Innate would completely detach him from the Dragon Clan, he would probably only mock him as pedantic—and curse him for being a well-fed man who does not know the hunger of the starving.

"Brother, Fang has a question, I wonder if I should ask it or not?"

Hearing this, Jiao Mowang's eyes move slightly, as if he knows what he is going to ask, and smiles, "Of course, there is no reason not to."

Then, before Fang Longye can speak, he says straightforwardly, "Fellow Daoist wants to ask why there is that inexplicable resonance and connection between you and me? Right?"

Fang Longye pours him a cup of wine and says, "Brother is indeed discerning, Fang admires you."

"It is just that I have lived a few more years and read a few more classics," Jiao Mowang waves his hand and says.

"Fellow Daoist should have practiced the 'Great Vehicle Yin and Yang Dragon Transformation Scripture', right? Then do you know the origin of the Great Vehicle Yin and Yang Dragon Transformation Scripture?"

"Was it not created by that Demon Emperor?"

"Yes and no. This secret technique was not created by him out of thin air; there was a reference object."

His tone carries a hint of disdain.

He does not keep him in suspense anymore, pinching his fingers to form a seal, and thousands upon thousands of seal characters appear, condensing into a Dao seal that is cast before Fang Longye.

Fang Longye's primordial spirit makes contact, and the Dao seal enters his brow, turning into a trickle of information flowing through his heart.

He immediately understands~

"Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art?" Fang Longye mutters to himself.

"That's right, it is the Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art." Jiao Mowang straightens his body, and thousands of light wheels appear around him, large and small, suffused with black light patterns, shaking constantly like water ripples.

In every light wheel, there is an ink-green Jiao dragon constantly changing its form, sometimes with a dragon head and human body, sometimes with a human body and dragon tail, sometimes with dragon horns and a beast body, sometimes with nine heads and a dragon body,... and so on, in a thousand postures.

"This technique is the masterpiece gathered from the hard work of various Demon Clan Great Sages, optimized on the basis of the Reverse Innate secret technique roughly created by my master!"

"The 'Great Vehicle Yin and Yang Dragon Transformation Scripture' practiced by Fellow Daoist is merely a modification based on this foundation."

Fang Longye nods, indicating he understands, and adds for him, "It reduced the adaptability and is solely applicable to dragon-type creatures. Compared to the original 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art', it is just unclear which is better or worse!"

The Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art, as the name implies, focuses on slaughter and plunder. It involves a Post-Heaven Demon Body battling Xiantian Shengsheng, devouring their origin and status, and ultimately achieving Reverse Innate to attain the dignity of a Heavenly Demon.

In the era of Di Jun, too many Post-Heaven Demon Clan members successfully used this secret art to achieve Reverse Innate and elevate their own foundations.

Pure, direct, violent, and cruel.

This was the evaluation that welled up in Fang Longye's heart after he learned the cultivation method of this secret art. Even though he had not obtained the specific content of this secret art.

He also understood why the Demon Clan had been shouted at and hunted for so many years.

Running rampant across the world is fun for a moment, but the list of consequences afterwards is endless.

The era when the Wu and Demon Clans ran rampant, if calculated in years, lasted for I don't know how many trillions of years.

The longer one is tyrannical, the more and greater disasters one causes.

Not to mention anything else, just the Demon Clan of that time, in order to cultivate the Heavenly Demon Dao and achieve Reverse Innate, killed I don't know how many Xiantian Shengsheng.

If one says that the ordinary Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, Wu, Demon, and Human Race belong to the protagonists of the Human Dao, then the protagonists of Heaven and Earth have always been the Xiantian Shengsheng and Xiantian living beings nurtured by Heaven and Earth.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for the Demon Clan to still occupy a continent today.

According to the various information transmitted by Jiao Mowang, Fang Longye had every reason to suspect that that existence in Beiming could have taken that step long ago.

But for the sake of the Demon Clan, he bore what he should not have borne, which is why he was late in taking that step.

Don't mention Nuwa; from what Fang Longye understood, her relationship with the Demon Clan was not very good. "These two are roughly the same, each with their own pros and cons. However, when the Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art is completed, one will change their original racial form and no longer be the original race."

"At most, there will be some outward resemblance to the original race, just like seniors such as Jimeng, Jiufeng, and Shangyang."

"I can pass the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art' to you, Fellow Daoist, but since you have already been fortunate enough to practice the 'Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Sutra', it is better to follow the path within it."

"You must also be very clear about the significance of the Innate Divine Dragon to the Dragon Clan, Fellow Daoist."

"That is natural, I will only use it as a reference." Hearing this, Fang Longye's heart stirred immediately.

This was an unexpected joy.

At the same time, he smiled knowingly to himself, "I didn't expect this Jiao Mowang to be a Dragon Clan supremacist."

However, although he sneered inwardly, he truly had no intention of changing his path of Reverse Innate.

At most, he would use it for reference, just like the secret art of Reverse Innate through a Companion Spiritual Root that he had obtained before.

It was not for the sake of reversing into an Innate Divine Dragon in the future to feed back luck to the Dragon Clan. Rather, the background of the Dragon Clan was truly not bad.

It had power when needed and strong backing when needed; it was worth his development along the Dragon Clan route.

"That is true, I imagine you would not be so unwise, Fellow Daoist," Jiao Mowang laughed.

He had no other path and had joined under the Demon Master. Naturally, he did not consider anything else and chose the Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art.

If he had a choice, he would naturally choose the 'Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Sutra'.

Without hesitation, with a movement of his mind, tens of thousands of Demon script characters emerged, dancing and swirling like stars in the sky.

They constantly collided and combined in layers, forming a beautiful scripture chapter, with bursts of Dao sounds murmuring.

Every word was a pearl, crystal clear, and finally, it rolled up like a Painting Scroll, condensing into a bundle. Under the overflowing halo, it was accepted by Fang Longye's primordial spirit.

"Courtesy demands reciprocity~ Fellow Daoist, the 'Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Sutra' is offered, please take a look."

Fang Longye did not hesitate and immediately presented the ancient animal skin scroll that recorded this secret art.

"Oh? Many thanks for your generous gift, Fellow Daoist!" Jiao Mowang was stunned, then overjoyed. He took it cautiously and opened it to browse impatiently.

It was no surprise that Jiao Mowang had this reaction.

Don't look at how easily Fang Longye obtained it, as if this secret art was already common. In reality, this secret art had never spread. With the capabilities of the North Sea Dragon Palace, they could not even find it.

Seeing this, Fang Longye shook his head and laughed, and also immersed himself in the reading of the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art'.

For a time, the entire Green Leaf Dharma Boat was silent. Only Qingli stood by Fang Longye's side, keeping watch.

……

"Interesting~ It is truly a secret art with unparalleled creation. In terms of versatility, it is far superior to the 'Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Sutra'."

After savoring it for a long time, Fang Longye opened his eyes, his gaze a pale golden red, bizarre and motley.

Restraining the vision, he stood up and looked at the Star Sea floating around, pondering inwardly.

This secret art, like the other two Reverse Innate secret arts in Fang Longye's hands, was no longer just a practice of reaching the sky in one step; it was also a gradual process.

Swallowing the bloodline origins of many living beings to form a Divine Embryo, and when the time was ripe, swallowing the origins of Xiantian living beings or even Xiantian Shengsheng, melting them into one.

At this point, the Divine Embryo is completed, merges with oneself, and then the achievement of Innate is attained.

"Isn't this quite similar in principle to the Swallowing Heaven Demon Art and the Undying Demon Art in Shrouding the Heavens?"

Both seek to transform one's own origin. It's just that in the end, one is the Post-Heaven Chaos Body of that world, and the other is the Xiantian foundation of this world.

However, because the various origins swallowed are different, the Xiantian foundations cultivated by every Heavenly Demon through the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art' are all different.

There is no unified standard; even for the same race, the final Xiantian form is vastly different, and there may not be the slightest similarity.

The root of Reverse Innate does not lie in one's own bloodline, but in that Divine Embryo.

Every Heavenly Demon who cultivates this secret art is unique, and this trait is even difficult to pass down as a race.

Just like the Demon Immortal with the Xiangliu bloodline encountered earlier.

They only possessed the Xiangliu bloodline; they could neither fully display the appearance of Xiangliu, nor could they possibly become a second Xiangliu.

Of course, this unique characteristic, which is one of a kind, naturally has great benefits.

Just this uniqueness, which is difficult to propagate and inherit, can bring about how much luck!

However, compared to the 'Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Sutra', it is not without flaws.

The biggest flaw is that before the Divine Embryo is completed, it will not have any promoting effect on the foundation or origin.

Unlike the 'Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Sutra', which directly targets the bloodline, even without Reverse Innate, one can still gradually improve oneself.

The Reverse Innate of the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art' is more like nurturing an external object, which is finally integrated into oneself in one step.

Moreover, the 'Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art' only has one chance for Reverse Innate. Either achieve a Xiantian living being, or continue to nurture the Divine Embryo until it reaches the point where it can achieve a Xiantian Shengsheng, and then merge.

The latter is different. Post-Heaven living being — Xiantian living being — Xiantian Shengsheng; the cultivation of the 'Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Sutra' can be gradual, like climbing stairs, transforming layer by layer.

One can only say that each has its pros and cons!

In the era of Di Jun, the "Heavenly Demon Slaughtering God Art" was much easier to cultivate than the "Yin and Yang Great Vehicle Dragon Transformation Scripture."

Xiantian Shengsheng were, after all, far more numerous than Innate Spiritual Treasures. Their strength also varied, making them much cheaper to use for cultivation than Innate Spiritual Treasures.

However, with the passing of many epochs, we have reached the current acquired era, and Xiantian Shengsheng are no longer being conceived.

One can guess with their toes that the remaining Xiantian Shengsheng are certainly not weak.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong—"

While Fang Longye was lost in thought on the side, Jiao Mowang also gathered his wits.

He put down the ancient animal-skin scroll in his hand, overcome with joy, and could not help but tap his Wine Cup, humming a tune—although these two secret arts were too miraculous and, being from the same source, possessed exclusivity, comparing the two still benefited him greatly.

At the very least, he could incorporate the origins of Innate Spiritual Objects and Innate Spiritual Treasures into the resources for the completion of his Divine Embryo.

Compared to the origin of Xiantian Shengsheng, Innate Spiritual Treasures were easier for him to obtain.

The secret art that had previously been somewhat difficult for him now appeared as a smooth path.

A great thing! Just as the two had each gained something and were lost in their own thoughts.

"Clang—"

A bell rang, accompanied by echoes of profound sounds.

A vast and ancient charm—

Jiao Mowang came back to his senses, stood up, pointed ahead, and laughed: "Fellow Daoist! We are almost there—"

Fang Longye looked ahead, where layers upon layers of space-time intersected and intertwined, blurring into a mass.

All around, hundreds of millions of starlight burst forth, crisscrossing and weaving to derive inconceivable hexagrams, presenting a purple-green color that slowly descended from above.

From time to time, they collided, causing clusters of Golden Flower to bloom, emitting a fragrant scent.

At the very center, inexplicable light permeated, evolving into the Great Void, ever-changing, forming a colorful vortex.

Only then did Fang Longye realize that the vast Star Sea they had traveled through along the way was merely a passage!

Jiao Mowang straightened his clothes, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist, welcome to the space-time ruled by the Demon Clan!"
