Chapter 115: Using Demons to Control Demons, Still a Demon in the End
Swish!
A blade sound carrying the wind, the crystalline ice rainbow long blade passed through Xiang You's chest as if it were nothing. The ice crystals immediately sealed his body, and that Undying Divine Demon body, which was almost undying and inextinguishable, seemed like rotten leather.
Qian Chen looked at Xiang You in a daze, even suspecting that he had been ambushed by demonic thoughts and had stabbed a hallucination.
Unfortunately, the heart-mind protected by the Dao Dust Bead told him extremely clearly that what he had slashed was the opponent's real flesh body.
"Madam Chilian said your blade was very fast……"
Xiang You said calmly: "It turns out it really is very fast."
"You shouldn't have to force me to kill you like this!" Qian Chen sighed: "I have always been a very decisive person. Even if I admire you somewhat, I won't hold back."
Xiang You just smiled faintly: "When you drew your blade, didn't you already understand your own original heart?"
Qian Chen had already understood in his heart, bowed to him, and said: "Thank you!"
"I just didn't want to die at the hands of the demon blade……" Xiang You said slowly.
Qian Chen saw the light of perfection slowly rising from his body, and a circle of light appeared behind his head. It was the righteous fruit achieved by Buddhism, almost equivalent to a Golden Body Dharma Body. It didn't even need Xiang You to let go of his last bit of obsession to rainbow-transform and ascend to the Pure Land Heavenly Realm. But only his master's relic flew out from behind Xiang You's head, carried by that rainbow, and escaped into the void, heading toward the Pure Land.
"The righteous fruit that so many Buddhist cultivators bitterly pursue is right before your eyes. If you attain the Bodhisattva fruit, even if all your loved ones have had their souls scattered, it's not necessarily impossible to have a chance to start over, to make everything perfect…… Why are you willing to enter extinction, leaving not a trace? You must know, life is the collection of everything meaningful……"
"Whether it's Buddha or Demon, the most important thing is always knowing what you want. Then ask if you can seek it from Buddha or Demon." Xiang You bowed his head and repeated in a low voice: "The most important thing is always knowing what you want?"
"What I want is not there…… that is all."
Xiang You glanced at the Great Liberation Demon Blade in his hand, then slowly closed his tired eyes and said in a low voice: "That demon blade of yours is ultimately transformed by her. Can it be destroyed? I am willing to exchange my head for it. The evil object you rely on to enter the demonic path seems to be refined from the heads of cultivators. Although this one of mine no longer has a soul, I presume its high quality can make up for it. It surpasses that demon blade of yours……"
"Please take it!"
Qian Chen bowed again and thanked him: "Thank you for the enlightenment, but I think I won't need it anymore!"
After saying this, Qian Chen's ice blade rolled back and suddenly slashed toward himself!
At this moment, Xiang You smiled slightly, and his body and mind entered stillness and extinction…… His head drooped slightly, leaving behind a skin bag; there was no longer a trace of his soul in the world. In heaven and earth, his true spirit could no longer be found.
The demon blade transformed by Madam Madam Chilian lay across his knees, as if the two were leaning against each other again……
"Half a life bowing before the green lamp."
"Half a life sinking in the blood sea."
"Looking back at the master's appearance, never having looked back at the beauty fading."
"Closing my eyes to follow you one day……"
Qian Chen used the long blade transformed by the ice rainbow to slash back at himself. The blade light passed through his body, severing the shackles in his heart.
"Entering the demonic path is not scary either…… But can the things I seek really be obtained in the demonic path?"
"Using demons to control demons, ultimately it is still a demon!"
"I only wish to be carefree and at ease for a lifetime……"
After the battle with Miaokong, he had to suppress the Bone Tianmo Tianmo Sheli, and his true qi had undergone transformation, and he had to refine the magic power of the Taiqing Innate One Qi Divine Talisman, which was why he had frozen his qi sea, leaving not a trace of true qi. He claimed to only have one-tenth of his cultivation…… but in reality, he could rely on the suppressed Bone Tianmo Tianmo Sheli to use demons to control demons and drive all demons.
Gradually merging with the demonic path, revealing a peerless posture.
Using demons to control demons, how can one control the demon of oneself? The Taiqing Dao Dust Bead could suppress demonic thoughts, but could it suppress the demonic nature originating from oneself?
Twelve Bone Relics, twelve astonishing divine abilities, one-tenth of his cultivation actually had an invincible posture. As he became more and more proficient in driving gods and demons, and realized more and more of the true essence of the demonic path, Miaokong was nothing but a withered bone in a grave, and the Blood Demon was not worth worrying about. After all, he was becoming more and more like a Heaven Demon, worthy of being called a demon among demons.
Scheming against the Blood Demon and Miaokong, and seizing their foundations and Dao fruits, was just a small trial.
When exactly did he intentionally or unintentionally ignore the transforming Taiqing Innate One Qi Divine Talisman magic power? After all, after breaking through, he could no longer maintain the "guarding the weak" state; the Dao and Demon magic powers would inevitably conflict. At that time, the twelve Bone Relics would truly become a hidden danger, requiring him to be distracted to suppress them at all times.
At this time, it was truly ten-tenths of his cultivation, yet he couldn't move an inch!
With the Blood Demon and Miaokong eyeing him covetously, such a breakthrough was unfavorable, so he justifiably transferred his foundation, using the twelve Bone Relics as the foundation of the demonic path to stir up trouble. During this period, it seemed that external demons did not invade and internal demons did not disturb, but in reality, his demonic nature was already deep. This demonic nature did not originate from the outside, but from the deviation of his self.
At first, he loathed the Bone Tianmo Tianmo Sheli and wanted to destroy it.
Later, he had to use it out of necessity……
Later still, he actively realized a higher level of the demonic path, turning these Bone Relics into his own resources.
His personality also became more and more decisive in killing, cold and ruthless. He became more and more like a stranger. Although it was growth…… but was this kind of growth really what he wanted?
Qian Chen seemed to see that demonic shadow appear behind him, like Heaven, like Dao, indifferent like a god, supreme and forgetting emotions. This shadow that couldn't be escaped, would it become what he ultimately looked like?
"The most important thing is always knowing what you want?"
Qian Chen's gaze gradually became firm. He resolutely slashed his blade toward his demonic path foundation. The connection between the twelve Bone Relics and him was suddenly severed. The ice blade white rainbow, transformed by his budding Dao heart, quietly brushed away a layer of dust, revealing a crystalline and sharp edge.
The twelve Bone Relics lost Qian Chen, the master who had transformed into a demon among demons, and began to become restless.
But the weakest trace of original true qi in his qi sea silently shed a layer of heavy shackles. Previously, he hadn't noticed at all that his own powerful demonic nature was suppressing this trace of true qi, and even began to backfire on his Dao foundation. This change happened silently, born from the deviation of Qian Chen's original heart.
Once completely deviated and the demonic nature was fully formed, Qian Chen's original heart and thoughts would no longer be the pursuit of being carefree and at ease.
Perhaps it would become "only I am free," wanting everything to be at his beck and call.
At that time, even if Qian Chen were to go and cultivate the orthodox Daoist lineage, even if there were countless paths pointing directly to Nascent Soul, Dao Lord, and Dao Venerable placed before him, Qian Chen would only twist and demonize them, turning them into paths of pursuing power and manipulating everything.
This was demonic infection. Demons are not just desires and temptations, but the deviation of the self.
It permeates every aspect of the demonic path, and is by no means just demonic thoughts and external demons……
After shedding this layer of demonic path burden, Qian Chen felt relaxed and happy from the bottom of his heart. With the shackles removed, his body and mind became lively. The long-silent true qi suddenly became active, like a spirit bead, like a divine talisman. That line of true qi condensed all the spiritual opportunities of Qian Chen's Dao practice, touching his soul. His spiritual sense gradually merged with the true qi, and in the dark, he sensed a vast world in the Void Realm Sea that could not be described.
Taiqing Heaven!
At this moment, a trace of innate clear qi appeared outside Qian Chen's body, which was a trace of original qi drawn from the Taiqing Heaven.
No wonder none of the Daoist scriptures in the Central Lands recorded how to cultivate magic power at the level of the Innate Divine Talisman. It turned out that the most critical point of spiritual opportunity required sensing the cosmic realms and drawing a trace of innate original qi to achieve it.
That bit of innate clear qi fell and merged with the prototype of magic power in Qian Chen's qi sea, indistinguishable from each other. At this moment, the true qi transformed into a mysterious magic power true talisman, which breathed slightly and took in endless original qi. This Innate One Qi Divine Talisman easily took in those wisps of clear qi and refined them into a magic power true talisman.
At this time, all the true qi in Qian Chen's qi sea had transformed into magic power true talismans.
At this moment, Qian Chen finally broke through the Sensory Realm, entered the Penetrating Law Realm, and became a true cultivator known as a Mage in the Central Lands and a Daoist in the Daoist lineage. He had finally truly stepped onto the path of cultivation……
Qian Chen re-suppressed the backfire of the Bone Tianmo Tianmo Sheli. After the true qi transformed into magic power, he didn't need to use nine-tenths of his magic power to reluctantly suppress it, but it still involved five-tenths of Qian Chen's energy. After all, Qian Chen had courted death himself, refined the Bone Tianmo Tianmo Sheli again, and refined the Nine-Child Heaven Ghost as resources into it.
He had also taken action to transform into a Demon Lord, integrated the Bone Tianmo Tianmo Sheli, and refined the twelve Bone Gods and Demons into a whole, no longer that kind of pieced-together magic treasure.
As a result, the retribution came too quickly. Now that the Dao and Demon magic powers were in conflict and dragging each other down, the evil consequences of him raising his demonic path foundation too quickly immediately manifested.
