The rain from the skies grew heavier and heavier. The pitter-patter of the rain could be heard as the sky turned chaotic. Pei Zi Yun awoke from his slumber and stood on a rock. He looked down at the city below and saw the soldiers collecting the heads of the dead soldiers. He raised his head and sighed.
This wasn't being pretentious. The Foundation Daoist of this world would die if he was stabbed. If it wasn't for the Imperial Qi restraining Dao arts, a Foundation Daoist would be able to rule the world.
The process was simple. Using the Soul Enchantment Technique, one could control a person who could be introduced to the magistrate. The magistrate would then control the magistrate. The magistrate would then control the magistrate. The magistrate would then control the governor. As long as the governor could bring someone to see the Emperor, he could control the Emperor.
As long as he controlled five people, it would only take a month for him to control an entire empire. This was taking into account the long journey. The actual process would only take five minutes.
Therefore, those who only emphasized on direct confrontation with violence were only gorillas. However, such a "God" was ultimately made of flesh and blood. The strength of the Taoist who laid the foundation was limited, and it was impossible for him to control too many people. In the end, it would leave the possibility of a white rainbow piercing through the sun for those righteous people who wanted to free mankind from slavery. Many people did not know that if they really risked their lives, they could actually kill people with chopsticks. However, if they were made of iron or bronze, it would be impossible to assassinate them.
As for even greater firepower, a person who controlled an empire would still be able to hide the movements of so many people from him. Such a gorilla deserved to die.
Pei Zi Yun thought about it carefully. If this was his previous world, it would be the same with nuclear weapons.
Every step of the Earth Immortal Dao was a challenge to the legitimacy and existence of the regime. The first and second stages would allow him to unleash his power. The third and fourth stages would allow him to make a comeback. The fifth and sixth stages would strengthen him. The seventh and eighth stages would allow him to control the regime without any flaws.
The ninety stages would allow him to rule forever, until he became immortal.
However, people were different. This wasn't an exaggeration. Such a good card had been played out in such a manner. Pei Zi Yun thought about the Dao Monarch who had even wiped out his name. It wasn't just because he was angry, but because he truly looked down on him.
However, these thoughts ended in a blink of an eye. The past had already passed. All that was left was the present. Pei Zi Yun's sleeves fluttered as he descended. The rain didn't fall on him and the night didn't block his path.
Deep into the night, the rain continued to pour down. The blind Daoist rode on his horse, seemingly deep in thought. The scholar followed beside him, and a few lieutenants stood by his side, protecting him. Since the assassination attempt had failed, they were all dejected.
Along the way, the scholar frowned as he thought about what had just happened. He then whispered to the blind Daoist, "Your Majesty, we didn't succeed this time. How are we going to explain this to King Lu? I'm afraid I'll lose King Lu's favor. "
The Blind Daoist didn't speak. The scholar then asked again. The Blind Daoist then raised his head and thought for some time before speaking, "Let's report this matter as it is. If Pei Zi Yun was easy to kill, we wouldn't be the ones to do it. Didn't eunuch Liao let Pei Zi Yun escape the last time too?"
"I'm thinking about something more important than dealing with King Lu. I have to return to the Reincarnation Platform to read it."
"Samsara Platform?" When the scholar heard this, his expression changed slightly. For the Blind Daoist to mention such a huge matter, it definitely concerned the fate of the demon race in this world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such a thing.
"Your Majesty, could it be that you've discovered something that concerns the life and death of our demon race?"
The scholar's voice was trembling as he asked. When the Blind Daoist heard this, he tugged on the reins of his horse. His expression was one of deep contemplation, as though he was thinking of something.
"You know that I'm the Demon Emperor, but the Demon Emperor isn't me. There are many important memories within the Reincarnation Platform. I have to read them one by one. I feel that this matter is very important."
"Demon spirits can travel through worlds, and every single one of them is made up of tens of thousands of demon spirits. For them to disappear just like that is extremely terrifying. However, I feel that this isn't the first time this has happened. Hence, I have to investigate."
The Blind Daoist looked at the scholar's suspicious expression and knew what he was thinking about. He then sighed, "As for King Lu, he has an Earth Immortal as his henchman. Can he report to the Emperor?"
"You're talking about Earth Immortal Cheng Yuan Zi. But didn't he refuse to use the crystals?" The scholar asked curiously. The Blind Daoist laughed coldly, "Times have changed. In the past, he still had twenty years to live, and could afford to drag it out. Now that he's dead, his lifespan is at its limit. If he doesn't accept it, he'll die. He has no choice but to accept it."
"There's a saying in this world, that it's hard for a Yin spirit to become a saint. As long as Cheng Yuan Zi still had the will to improve, he would definitely consume the crystals. That's human nature."
"I've been through so many worlds, and seen so many heroes. Didn't I also encounter death and join the Demon Race? We're just starting out, and it's extremely important to have such a person join us. It's beneficial to the Demon Race. So what if I have to consume some of my energy?"
The Blind Daoist sighed, his eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life. The scholar listened and was convinced, "Your Majesty, I understand."
Black Altar Mountain
It was night time, and a bright moon shone brightly in all directions. The mountains were tall and spiritual, and there were many Daoist temples. Within one of the palaces, the Earth Immortal's eyes were closed, as he absorbed spiritual energy into his body.
"Pu!" All of a sudden, he spat out a mouthful of blood, as it landed on the ground. The Earth Immortal spat out blood as his face turned pale, "Not good."
The Earth Immortal's face was filled with panic, as his soul was severed. He then understood that his clone had died.
"How is this possible? I've arranged for the sect's treasures to be used. How did this happen?" As the Earth Immortal spoke, his skin started to shrivel up. His black hair started to turn white as well.
The Earth Immortal was still in a daze when he coughed. He felt an itch in his chest. He took a closer look and realized that his life force had been depleted by eighty to ninety percent.
As if in disbelief, the Earth Immortal reached out to touch his arms. His hands, which were originally translucent like jade, were now yellow and wrinkled. There were even some age spots on them.
"No!" The Earth Immortal exclaimed in shock, his voice was filled with despair. He stood up and walked towards the bronze mirror, only to see a withered figure with white hair. His eyes were murky.
"My lifespan was already running out. Now that I've sacrificed my clone, I'm only left with a little bit of time. I can't even protect my physical body." The Earth Immortal gritted his teeth, as his voice echoed throughout the entire hall, "Pei Zi Yun, you and I are irreconcilable."
As the Earth Immortal spoke, he slammed his palm down on the table, causing it to shatter into pieces.
There was a Daoist standing guard outside the hall. When he heard the commotion, he hurriedly asked, "True Sovereign, what's the matter?"
The Earth Immortal's face was flushed red, and his expression was ferocious. When he heard the commotion, he calmed down and replied, "Nothing."
"Yes, True Sovereign."
After dismissing the Daoist, the Earth Immortal looked at himself in the mirror. After a long time, he reached out and wiped his face. His old appearance started to recover.
He then used his powers to restore his skin back to its original state. He then muttered, "I'm the Earth Immortal. I've been in charge for two hundred years. I don't know how many people are jealous of me. If I can't hold on any longer, a pack of wolves will pounce on me. I cannot show any signs of fatigue."
As he spoke, he hesitated for a moment before turning around and entering an inner hall. The interior of the hall was empty and gloomy, dark and cold. Looking around, the interior of the hall was actually very simple. On the wall were the portraits of the past Sect Leaders, and below them was a shrine and a memorial tablet.
Looking at the paintings, the Earth Immortal couldn't help but think of Pei Zi Yun. That day, Pei Zi Yun told him that he had killed the elites of the sect, and that there was no one to inherit his legacy. How could he face the spirits of the earth in the future? At that time, the Earth Immortal scolded him. But now, looking at the paintings of the Patriarchs, it was as if the paintings had come alive and were staring right at him.
The more he looked like this, the calmer he looked, and the stronger the killing intent in his heart grew.
"To be honest, although I said that I was speaking nonsense, it was the truth. Whether it was when I was cultivating, I was fighting for an opportunity, or to ascend to the position of Sect Leader. I had committed many sins, and even killed the descendants of the previous Patriarchs."
"My heart was clear. There was a lot of hatred within the sect and underground. It's just that I'm an Earth Immortal, and I'm still alive. No one can do anything about it."
"But if my physical body dies, I'm just a mere Patriarch. Although I still have some strength, how can I fight against the alliance of the previous Patriarchs? At that time, my life and death will be in the hands of others."
The Earth Immortal looked at the paintings for a long time before he walked out with heavy steps. He paced along the corridor and looked up at the moon. It was strange. Previously, the moon had been shining brightly, but now, it was so weak that he couldn't even see his own shadow. The Earth Immortal swallowed hard and thought for a long time. He then took out the crystal and swallowed it.
"This crystal definitely has something to do with it. Even if I can't find out what it is, I'm very clear about it. But now, even if it has something to do with it, I have no choice but to use it."
"This is all Pei Zi Yun's fault. Also, there are some people in the sect who deserved to be killed. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have ended up in this state." The Earth Immortal's expression didn't change at all. He swallowed the crystal, and within his dried up body, a surge of life energy flowed.
King Lu's Dragon Qi Paradise
The sounds of battle shook the heavens. The densely packed army of heroic spirits was getting closer. On the Reincarnation Platform, a dark grey aura surrounded it. It was as though a dark cloud was pressing down on the platform. There were also unknown things on top of it, like bugs.
Below the platform, the Blind Daoist sat upright. His body was constantly resonating with the Reincarnation Platform. At this point, the sounds of battle shook the entire area. The demon army kept retreating, but they resisted stubbornly.
The scholar's Primordial Spirit was by his side. He looked anxious and restless, as though he wanted to say something.
The Blind Daoist opened his eyes and glanced at the scholar before closing them again. The scholar had no choice but to swallow the words he was about to say.
At this point, below the Reincarnation Platform, there was a sudden change. Following the change, the Blind Daoist opened his eyes. He saw that in front of the tens of thousands of statues, a statue had been born.
The moment the statue appeared, the dark grey aura surged up and was absorbed by the statue. It grew rapidly.
The scholar saw that a statue had appeared below the Reincarnation Platform. He was shocked at first, before regaining his senses. He looked at the statue carefully, and saw that it was growing larger and larger. He could clearly see the features of Cheng Yuan Zi. He looked extremely tall, and was almost the same size as the people in front of him.
Cheng Yuan Zi's statue seemed to have an indescribable aura to it. The aura was absorbed by the Reincarnation Platform and fused with it. The Reincarnation Platform started to solidify, and even the demonic spirits were attracted to it. The Blind Daoist was so happy that his eyes gleamed. He felt a sense of coolness in his heart, and his entire body felt lighter. He laughed, "Dark Altar Sect has fallen into my trap."
"Congratulations, your majesty. Congratulations, your majesty." The scholar looked at the Blind Daoist and could not conceal the joy on his face. He then stepped forward to congratulate the Blind Daoist. Hearing the compliments, the Blind Daoist waved his hands, "I haven't done my best yet."
He then laughed, "But it's almost done. Cheng Yuan Zi has consumed my crystal, and will continue to transform until he becomes a demon."
"This process won't take too long. As long as he succeeds, Dark Altar Sect will be a great help to our demon race."
The scholar was overjoyed at first, but then he thought for a moment before speaking, "Your majesty, there aren't many immortal spirits in this world. Hence, those who succeed are all heroes. Such a person has been transformed by the Demon Emperor's crystal. Once he transforms, he will become a high tier demon. He will then be able to fight for the throne of the Demon Emperor."
"This person is an Earth Immortal. Not only is he ambitious, he has power. I'm afraid he might not be willing to be under your majesty. When that happens, what will your majesty do?"
