Chapter 1127: Loving and Killing Each Other Is Falling; Inverting Yin and Yang to Become First-Rank

Dao Wujin sighed gloomily: "True Person Qian, the World-Destroying Black Lotus that the Fallen Demon Lord seeks is not some thought of the Demon Ancestor, but your wisdom!"

"So it is not the Demon Ancestor's thought that possesses supreme Demon Path wisdom, but your wisdom that has reached the level of the Demon Ancestor!"

"Therefore, the Fallen Demon Lord has been in your calculations from beginning to end."

"She achieved the Dao by using your wisdom—it's not that she succeeded, but that you succeeded!"

"Falling, falling—stupidity is naturally also a kind of falling. The Dao Fruit achieved by the Demon Lord was already in your calculations."

"The Fallen Demon Lord proved the Fallen Dao Fruit; should that also be a part of your proving the Dao?"

"She is falling, and you, are you truth? Ascension? Transcendence?... Oh! It should be appropriate to use 'sublimation'!"

"This principle of using demons to control demons is something no one in the Demon Path has been able to match for billions of years! True Person Qian, you are the true world-shaking great demon, the demon among demons, the eternal demon calamity!"

As soon as Dao Wujin said this, all the wisdom in his mind was finally completely refined by Qian Chen, blooming into a black lotus in his consciousness.

That infinite stupidity was also refined into a 'Stupid Worm'!

It symbolized the terrifying power that no wisdom of all living beings could grind away, causing all great wisdom to deviate, slow down, fail, and collapse.

Being able to comprehend the secrets within symbolized that Dao Wujin's wisdom had reached Qian Chen's level.

But to say it out loud!

To say these secrets concerning his Dao Fruit before Qian Chen, who could crush and destroy him billions of times in an instant, also meant that he had finally grasped his own stupidity and broken free from Qian Chen's wisdom control.

"Supreme Wisdom Fruit, Supreme Stupidity Worm!"

Dao Wujin sighed: "So what we truly need to comprehend is not that all living beings possess infinite stupidity, but that we are also one of the living beings. We also have that kind of—stupidity—in our hearts that cannot be ground through, cannot be broken, a kind of stubbornness that makes all mistakes and deviates from the Great Dao!"

All the demon true transmissions present were numb and speechless.

Because they were demons, they couldn't be wrong; because they couldn't make mistakes, they were extremely afraid and terrified of stupidity.

Because they were afraid of stupidity, they were all desperately pursuing wisdom.

Every Demon Path true transmission possessed extreme 'stupidity-phobia'.

Because the environment in which they grew up was too cruel, any stupidity would lead to eternal damnation and endless harm.

So gradually, wisdom swallowed their humanity, their good and evil, and many of their other emotions.

However, when facing Qian Chen's Moral Wisdom Parasite, the more they pursued wisdom, the harder it was to escape control!

Shi Wuliang sighed: "So stupidity was originally a part of us!"

He also stood up from the cushion: "The use of wisdom lies in success!"

"Therefore, in the eyes of the world, what can succeed is wisdom, so we are not pursuing wisdom, but success. The Demon Path can only succeed!"

"Wisdom and stupidity are indeed Yin and Yang..."

"There is no absolute Yin, nor is there absolute Yang; Yin and Yang are always transforming into each other and containing each other. Wisdom and stupidity are the same!"

"Wisdom and stupidity are also a relationship of mutual containment and mutual transformation!"

"Abandoning stupidity makes it impossible to obtain true wisdom. The wisdom we pursue and see is not true wisdom, but 'success'!"

Shi Wuliang also refined a Stupid Worm, blooming a wisdom black lotus in his heart.

The stupid worm and the lotus flower—one becomes two, two becomes one.

Yet they were like Yin and Yang, difficult to separate!

He glanced at the black lotus in his heart and suddenly said: "He Qi is it still a black lotus? Is this wisdom so black?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Qian Chen with a subtle expression.

Qian Chen sneered: "He Qi, is it not your demonic nature that dyed the lotus black, but mine?"

Shi Wuliang suddenly burst into loud laughter, dancing with joy: "Hahaha... I can really be stupid! I can be stupid! In the past, before a Dao Lord who could crush me to death with a wave of his hand, I would never have said this; I would have been infinitely careful and cautious, fearing to provoke him and be crushed to death with a wave of his hand."

"Dao Wujin, how could you casually speak of the secrets concerning his proving the Dao?"

"If one doesn't act stupid, one naturally wouldn't know that jumping like this before a Dao Lord wouldn't lead to being crushed."

"Sometimes, wisdom only leads to one possibility, while stupidity leads to thousands upon thousands of possibilities. The possibilities we Demon Path followers pursue are hidden within stupidity. Therefore, wisdom is not true wisdom, and stupidity is not true stupidity. Everything is changing, everything is uncertain!"

He laughed: "True Person Qian Dao Lord is also acting stupid. You told us the method to break the wisdom parasite and even let us guess the secret of your desire for the Dao Fruit."

"Exposing the secret of one's own Dao Fruit, for proving the Dao, for the Dao Fruit, is the stupidest thing!"

Shi Wuliang's expression changed, and his tone turned, suddenly changing: "But this is also your true wisdom! True terror! You pointed out our inner demons, enlightened us to join the Demon Path, pointed out the limitations of our wisdom because we desperately avoided stupidity out of fear of failure, and let us truly refine the wisdom parasite and the stupid worm."

"This proves that what you need us to do is incomparably terrifying and horrible—so terrifying that we must realize the infinite power of stupidity, so terrifying that you don't even bother to seal us, so terrifying that you showed no restrictions on us and even gave us the possibility and power to make you fail!"

"He Qi stupid you are, stupid enough to give ants like us a chance to defeat you."

"But how wise you are, wise enough not to care about failure at all!"

Qian Chen nodded: "Not bad, you finally have a one-percent possibility of refining a First-Rank life-fate!"

"In this world, one needs at least a Second-Rank life-fate to possess a trace of the possibility of refining a First-Rank life-fate. Second-Rank is the life of a Primordial Spirit True Immortal; you are too far behind, but possessing Second-Rank wisdom is not enough to make up for it."

"After refining the wisdom parasite and the stupid worm, you already possess the wisdom of a Primordial Spirit True Immortal!"

"Only in this way can you truly be used by me."

"I am different from Lilith. She would forcibly refine you into World-Destroying Black Mosquitoes, use your demonic nature to make up for the Black Mosquitoes' shortcomings, and treat you as materials and tools. But my ambition is higher, my wisdom is higher. I don't just want your demonic nature; I also want you to possess higher wisdom and enlightenment, and possess infinite possibilities. In my eyes, you are the true talents!"

"If there isn't even the possibility of failure, or the possibility of resisting me, how can we talk about infinite demonic nature, how can we talk about creating possibilities out of the impossible."

"If refining life is like refining pills, you are all my demon fire! If you can't burn yourself and resist me, what kind of demon fire is that? I want to use your lives, your wisdom, your stupidity, and all your demonic nature and possibilities to refine a First-Rank life-fate for me!"

"Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Usurps Life!"

"A First-Rank life-fate is equivalent to a Dao Seed. In this world created by the joint efforts of the First Emperor and the Heavenly Court, this might be your only chance in this life to catch a glimpse of a Dao Seed!"

Qian Chen scanned them ruthlessly: "Will you give up this opportunity?"

Shi Wuliang, Dao Wujin, and the many Demon Path true transmissions all stood up from the cushions, each having refined the wisdom parasite and the stupid worm.

Those who hadn't refined them were also completely swallowed by Qian Chen's wisdom, and there was no difference from those who had.

Refining the stupid worm still allowed one to maintain oneself under the wisdom parasite, and even break free from Qian Chen's control and resist him.

Not refining the stupid worm and being parasitized by Qian Chen's wisdom, being completely refined, was also a pretty good tool-person!

A group of Demon Path true transmissions bowed and said firmly: "We are willing to follow the True Person, refine a First-Rank life-fate, and a Supreme Dao Seed!"

"Very good!"

Qian Chen waved his hand to help them up and laughed: "Worthy of being the true transmission seeds of my path! There are nine Second-Rank Great Life Masters in this world, but their chances of refining a First-Rank life-fate are incomparably slim. However, there are two major forces hidden in the dark; they are the ones who truly have the possibility of refining a First-Rank life-fate."

"Without you, I would still have the possibility of refining a First-Rank life-fate, but wanting to go further, the Life Dao breaking the grid would be too slim!"

"With you, I have truly become a third-party force that can compete with them for the possibility of Life Dao breaking the grid."

"Next, I will read your life-fates one by one, letting you possess the most strange, fierce, dangerous, and evil life-fates. If the wisdom parasite and stupid worm I gave you are the fire seeds, then your life-fates are the methods to manipulate the fire seeds, the changes of the fire seeds, and also the pill recipes I have hidden on you."

"Refining life into a grid, Life Dao breaking the grid—they are all a group of old schemers!"

"Their layouts are too long, and many traps, I might not be able to break. So I give you infinite possibilities; even if you fall into a trap, you have the possibility of resisting."

"Even I can't control you, let alone them?"

Qian Chen spoke very well, stirring the group of demons to high morale, and everyone was shouting: "Resist!"

"Supreme Supreme Tian Mo Usurps the Dao!"

"The infinite possibilities of the Demon Path!"

"No one can control the Demon Path!"

But the few who were truly clear-headed were all inwardly terrified.

Could they really resist this True Person Qian? Even the possibility of them resisting was given by Qian Chen, and even the narrowness of their Demon Path wisdom was pointed out by Qian Chen.

This Fallen Demon Lord, the true mastermind behind the eternal demon calamity of the Earth Immortal Realm, was simply too terrifying.

So terrifying that even though he had abandoned the backhands and restrictions he had left on them, no one dared to speak lightly of betrayal.

This Demon Lord... oh! Dao Lord, once he proves the Dao, he might be one of the most terrifying Dao Lords in the Earth Immortal Realm for billions of years. He didn't even fear them leaking the secrets concerning his Dao Fruit flaws, which already showed he was confident, or rather, his wisdom was terrifying to such a degree!

The wisdom black lotus in Dao Wujin's heart turned, and thoughts arose one after another.

"Success and failure bind your Demon Path, bind true wisdom—how could they not also bind the Dao Lord, bind the Dao Fruit? Proving the Dao Fruit is success; not achieving the Dao Fruit is failure! Just like your Demon Path, the Dao Lord's wisdom is also bound by success and failure. What can achieve the Dao Fruit is wisdom; what cannot achieve the Dao Fruit is stupidity. Once the Dao Fruit has a scale to measure us seekers of the Dao, isn't the Dao Fruit itself a kind of bondage?"

This thought, which carried a kind of supreme wisdom, was like Qian Chen's.

"Sublimation Dao Fruit is success; sublimation is the wisdom of approaching the Great Dao! Its opposite is deviation, is failure, is falling!"

"The Dao Fruit is self-limitation... but it is also the steps to ascend to the Great Dao."

"So its failure is more precious. Without failure, where does success come from? Without deviation, where does approaching the Great Dao come from? My stupidity, my indulgence, my deviation from the Great Dao, and the various factors that destroy the proof of the sublimation Dao Fruit will eventually become the resources for me to go further? Become the grinding for polishing the Dao Fruit and perfecting the Dao Fruit!"

Dao Wujin used the stupid worm to strike down this supreme wisdom, limited his wisdom with his own stupidity, and asked: "But the Dao Lord has infinite time to polish the Dao Fruit, break free from bondage, and get rid of the Dao Fruit—that is what is proven in the step toward the Dao Venerable."

"Not yet achieving the Dao Lord, yet starting to consider the things of the Dao Venerable—if one falls from the Dao Fruit because of this, isn't that stupidity?"

"It is stupidity!"

"If someone falls in this step of condensing the Dao Fruit because they consider these things, then they are the biggest joke in the countless realms of the cosmos, the stupidest person, who will be laughed at by countless Dao Lords, humiliated to the end of time!"

Qian Chen smiled slightly: So, I have long since refined the Sublimation Dao Fruit.

If someone thinks they can make trouble while I am proving the Dao, I will let them know who the fool is!

But in Dao Wujin's heart, supreme wisdom said faintly: "So I have a way out!"

"Sublimation Dao Fruit failure is falling. If I cannot prove the Dao Fruit, I can still snatch the Fallen Dao Fruit! All this supreme wisdom of mine will turn into stupidity, falling, and deviation. These are all Fallen Great Dao. Once I fall from the Dao Fruit, I will be the biggest fallen one in the countless realms of the cosmos, sufficient to launch a Dao struggle for the Fallen Dao Fruit."

"With the backhands I left on Lilith, what is difficult about snatching the Fallen Dao Fruit and falling into a demon?"

Dao Wujin looked at the supreme wisdom in his heart and sighed gloomily: "True Person Qian, you are indeed righteous!"

"More ruthless, more poisonous, and more cruel than our Demon Path..."

"Falling into a demon is what you deserve!"

"Once you fail to prove the Sublimation Dao Fruit, all the stupidity you stirred up during this period and all the obstacles to proving the Dao will become resources for the Fallen Dao Fruit."

"The Sublimation Dao Fruit and the Fallen Dao Fruit are opposites of each other. And this falling, which you have deliberately created, I'm afraid it can make the Fallen Dao Fruit perfect in an instant."

"One step out, achieving the Sublimation Dao Fruit, can prepare for cutting off the Dao Fruit."

"Not achieving the Sublimation Dao Fruit can perfect the Fallen Dao Fruit and go to compete for the Fallen Demon Lord."

"The Guanghan Feng Xianzi's Eternal Love Tribulation is well-deserved; you are her cruelest, most ruthless, most heartless, most... love tribulation! You are telling that Demon Lord Lilith your calculations through me, because you are even creating the failure of competing for the Fallen Dao Fruit."

"Are you heartful or heartless? Heartful? He Qi do you have the heart to use the cruelest, most heartless means to hurt her?"

"Heartless? He Qi do you give her a chance to turn the tables?"

"I completely believe it now; the eternal demon calamity of the Earth Immortal Realm must have been caused by the two of you... This pair is simply..."

Dao Wujin completely fell into the persona created by Qian Chen with a worshipful and fanatical attitude.

He even thought he understood why Qian Chen wanted to refine that Super-Rank life-fate.

"The Dao is heartless, yet it has heart!"

"I'm afraid even you don't know whether you are heartful or heartless. This is the true mystery of the Forgetting Emotion Dao. Even you, even a Dao Lord with such terrifying aptitude and such crazy wisdom, cannot escape the Guanghan Love Tribulation, cannot escape the destiny of that Guanghan Feng Xianzi."

"Is the Super-Rank life-fate really that terrifying?"

"I understand! I will refine a First-Rank Dao Fruit for you, True Person, and find that glimmer of opportunity to deny destiny!"

Dao Wujin's thoughts were completely manipulated by Qian Chen.

Driven by Qian Chen, the wisdom parasite and the stupid worm moved slightly...

At this moment, his wisdom and stupidity suddenly broke through the seed of the 'Inverting Yin and Yang' Great Divine Ability sealed by the Reincarnation Disk.

The destiny inscribed, wisdom and stupidity, life and death, truth and illusion, god and demon—all kinds of opposite principles of Yin and Yang were swallowed by 'Inverting Yin and Yang'.

Accompanied by a non-black, non-white Taiji diagram emerging from Dao Wujin's body.

His true life-fate awakened on its own, wrapping around the 'Empty Death' appearing in the void, and the 'Inverting Yin and Yang' Great Divine Ability was instantly achieved on a small scale, and a Fourth-Rank true life-fate was achieved!

Life-fate—Inverting Yin and Yang!

Qian Chen smiled with satisfaction.

Most of what he did was for this Fourth-Rank 'Inverting Yin and Yang' life-fate. True life-fate is Yin and Yang, ghost life-fate is inverting; only when the two are combined can this life-fate, which is possibly the closest to the Great Dao and most profound in the Underworld, be achieved, and it is also one of the most strange life-fates.

Inverting Yin and Yang!

It is because Dao Wujin was female at birth, and in order to cultivate the Great Divine Ability of Inverting Yin and Yang, he cultivated demon arts and turned into a male.

It is even more saying that his whole life has been inverting between Yin and Yang, truth and illusion, Dao and demon, righteous and evil, clear and turbid, male and female, black and white, sorrow and joy, long and short.

Now that he has entered the Netherworld, he is still inverting between life and death, wisdom and stupidity, truth and illusion, god and demon!

Such a life of destiny.

Such a life-fate imprint—if it isn't Inverting Yin and Yang, what else could it be?

"The 'Inverting Yin and Yang' life-fate is the combination of true life-fate and ghost life-fate, a life-fate that is nearly as unbreakable as a Primordial Spirit Heavenly Life, and can allow you to become a Yin-Yang Ghost King. It is the life-fate I calculated that is the only one in the Netherworld that can refine Heavenly Stems."

"With its Great Divine Ability, it can refine things that theoretically shouldn't appear in the Netherworld, refine Yang Qi, and Heavenly Fortune!"

"By relying on this grid, refining any ghost object with a life-fate lower than yours is just an instant."

"True life-fate is Jia-Zi, ghost life-fate is Yi-Zi!"

"The reason true life-fate can draw out ghost life-fate is because they attract each other like Yin and Yang. True life-fate is composed of one Heavenly Stem and one Earthly Branch, and ghost life-fate is composed of one Virtual Stem and one Earthly Branch! Earthly Branches have Yin and Yang, and Heavenly Stems have True and Virtual. Therefore, True Yang Heavenly Stem matches True Yang Earthly Branch to form true life-fate, and Virtual Yin Heavenly Stem matches True Yin Earthly Branch to form ghost life-fate."

"And True Yang Heavenly Stem locks Virtual Yin Heavenly Stem, and True Yang Earthly Branch locks True Yin Earthly Branch!"

"True Yang and Virtual Yin turn into Wu Ji, True Yang and True Yin turn into Taiji... Therefore, Heavenly Stems belong to 'Nothing' in the Netherworld, hidden in the Great Dao, while Earthly Branches manifest in 'Being', turning into Primordial Qi."

"And whether it is Yin or Yang, True or Virtual, whether it is Nothing or Being, or Heaven and Earth, they are all within your Inverting Yin and Yang."

"Do you know what this means?"

Dao Wujin realized: "Ghost life-fate is a virtual life-fate, difficult to exist alone, so it has always been preserved by Life Masters with Yin mansions or life treasures, and even needs to be suppressed by their own true life-fate. One life suppressing two ghosts is already the limit; suppressing various ghost life-fates will bring backlash."

"And I can invert Yin and Yang, turning True and Virtual into Yin and Yang. In this way, Virtual Yin Heavenly Stem matches True Yin Earthly Branch—True is Yang, Virtual is Yin—and the fierce ghosts without life-fates that originally couldn't exist stably can exist stably."

"I can manipulate, usurp, and stabilize all ghost life-fates; I am the King of Ten Thousand Ghosts!"

If the Life Masters of this world heard this, they would inevitably be shocked!

Ghost life-fate is extremely difficult to carry.

Even if a Life Master usurps a ghost life-fate of the same realm, they must combine it with their own life-fate to carry it. Being able to call upon two kinds of ghost life-fates in this way and finding a way to combine them into a more superior ghost-body virtual life-fate is already the breaking-grid path of most Life Masters.

Being able to refine ghost life-fates arbitrarily like Dao Wujin, and even being able to gather billions of ghost life-fates into one body, is a terrifying divine ability that Life Masters couldn't even imagine. ===== CHAPTER 1128 =====
