Chapter 70: Fusion of Dao and Buddha

The little Daoist boy's heart was bleeding.

One must know that twenty years ago, he performed the Rebirth Great Sacrifice, and at the same time, he sealed his own Wang Family bloodline power, turning it into a foundation; only after the ritual ended could the bloodline be liberated.

By then, with cultivation and bloodline combined into one, he might have been able to glimpse the profound and mysterious Innate Above. But now, having used the bloodline prematurely, twenty years of bitter cultivation had become a bubble.

How could he accept this?

He wished he could instantly slaughter this female Great Demon. However, his reason told him that he must retreat first, so that he could make further plans, and perhaps still remedy the situation somewhat.

"Right now, neither of us can do anything to the other."

"Why don't we negotiate a condition?"

The little Daoist boy said with a cold expression.

The female Great Demon raised her eyebrows, feeling a sense of relief in her heart; it seemed that this person from the aristocratic family could not hold on after all and had spoken first. Otherwise, in a little while, it would be she who could not hold on.

The seal of the Array had only just cracked open a sliver.

It was simply insufficient to support a battle of this intensity.

However, her eyes rolled, and she suddenly felt this was a good opportunity to extort this person from the aristocratic family. Especially since he was a member of the Wang Family who possessed Divine Dao Power.

She intended to extort some Divine Dao Power.

Of course, she had no use for it. The purpose of doing this was actually for that Yin Demon Primordial Fetus, which was Li Heng's Divine Dao avatar.

At first, she only wanted to activate its demonic nature. To directly suppress, or even erode, the divine side of the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus, transforming it back into a peerless Evil Demon Weird.

But later, she thought about it.

For a Yin Demon Primordial Fetus to practice the Divine Dao was so rare, or even almost impossible, that it simply challenged her view of the World.

Her intuition told her that if it could be successfully practiced, the two originally opposing powers merging together might result in a peerless Evil God.

The kind that even this Heaven and Earth would not reject.

To her, this was simply a great opportunity!

Therefore, she intended to obtain this Wang Family's Divine Dao Power to nourish the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus. Letting the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus activate its demonic nature while also successfully practicing the Divine Dao.

As long as the demonic side could suppress the divine side, then the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus would always be one of her own! The female Great Demon thought, her eyes brightening, her heart growing more and more excited.

Such an operation was truly feasible!

"A fine negotiation. If you can make a promise that moves me, I might just let you go." The female Great Demon smiled, appearing as if she were still in her prime.

"Then what do you want?"

The little Daoist boy said calmly.

The reason he agreed so readily was mainly considering that this place was not far from the female Great Demon's Seal Land. He estimated he could not outlast this female Great Demon.

"What do I want? Your Wang Family's Divine Dao Power is quite interesting; how about you hand over half to me?"

The female Great Demon remained smiling, somewhat teasingly.

She felt some pleasure in her heart. It seemed she was still somewhat powerful and had not fallen behind; even when facing someone from an aristocratic family, she had a clear advantage.

So, what kind of monster was that junior from before?

Thinking of Li Heng, her mood turned sour again.

"You want Divine Dao Power? What do you want it for?"

The little Daoist boy was surprised, feeling somewhat hesitant.

Regarding this, the female Great Demon already had a corresponding reason.

"This Array that seals me, I presume your Wang Family had a hand in it back then, right? The web of divine power that is still running continuously, merging with the surrounding mountains and earth."

The little Daoist boy realized; so that was it.

Did the female Great Demon want to borrow his Divine Dao Power to analyze the weaknesses of the Array? He sneered in his heart; she had truly fallen into the demonic path after all, did she really think she could break the Array like this?

The Reverse Eight Trigrams Array does not only consist of Divine Dao Power!

"Fine, I agree to your request."

The little Daoist boy agreed readily, then directly condensed a Divine Power Crystal that floated in his hand. It was much larger than the one Li Heng had obtained, emitting a brilliant golden light.

After condensing the mysterious crystal, the little Daoist boy's face turned pale. Clearly, this was a great drain on him.

"You dispel the Ghost Domain, and I will throw out the Divine Power Crystal."

And so, both sides, each having thoughts of retreating, tacitly dispelled the Ghost Domain and threw out the Divine Power Crystal at the same moment.

The female Great Demon obtained the Divine Power Crystal.

The little Daoist boy fled in an instant. Along the way, he took with him the group of juniors in the distance who had been watching, which made him very angry and very worried.

This time he had suffered a huge loss; after condensing the Divine Power Crystal, his combat power had dropped directly to Half-step Innate. The little Daoist boy looked miserable; he would have to properly recuperate.

Holding this Divine Power Crystal, the female Great Demon sighed deeply in her heart, hoping the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus would be worth her investment. Now that the Node was about to open wide, she also had to make preparations early.

Bei'an City, inside the Demon Suppression Division.

Li Heng arrived at Meng Lingyun's residence, but he frowned; where had this old man gone again? The main gate was still not open, and he was given the cold shoulder again.

Could it be that that unlucky fellow Xiao Meng still hadn't recovered?

Was the old man still at Bai Si Hall?

He simply left directly, heading toward Bai Si Hall. If the old man wasn't at Bai Si Hall, he could just head back on the way.

Inside Bai Si Hall, in the spacious medical hall.

Li Heng soon saw Xiao Meng lying on the hospital bed, as well as Meng Lingyun standing nearby, conversing with a person in a Daoist crown and monk's robe.

"Tsk, Xiao Meng, you still aren't better? How weak."

Li Heng shook his head and walked forward.

He really didn't know what kind of tormenting demon could suck Xiao Meng dry like this; it seemed a miracle that Xiao Meng hadn't died.

"Li Heng, it seems you are indeed doing very well."

Xiao Meng stopped pretending, lying on the bed, and said through gritted teeth.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow; it seemed he had recovered quite well, as he now actually had the energy to talk back to him.

He ignored Meng Hao, who was still lying on the bed, and turned to look at Meng Lingyun; there was no sign of that naturally imposing expression between his brows, but rather a look of exhaustion.

"Old man, it hasn't been that long, yet you've become so haggard," Li Heng remarked with emotion.

Seeing Li Heng appear, Meng Lingyun was first surprised and then happy, his expression extremely complex, a thousand words finally converging into a single sigh. "It is good that you are unharmed."

"Of course I'm fine, you need to have confidence in me."

Li Heng nodded.

Meng Lingyun could be considered to have saved his life. At the same time, their personalities were very compatible, making them friends across generations. They could talk about many things and could not put on any overly sentimental displays, so they could only wish each other well.

"I wonder who this is..."

He turned his head to look at the old man beside him, who was wearing a Daoist crown and a monk's robe, unsure if he was a master or a Daoist priest.

"Him? Let me introduce you."

"You can call him a fake Daoist; he is a bald donkey, anyway he has no name. In his own words, he doesn't even know his own name."

Meng Lingyun regained his composure and said with a smile.

"What do you mean by fake Daoist? Layman Meng, this is what I call the fusion of Dao and Buddhism! If you keep saying that, believe it or not, I will leave immediately." The old man was instantly displeased, blowing his beard and staring with wide eyes.
