"Haha!" When the blind Daoist heard this, he laughed out. He stood up and took a few steps forward, "The Demon King is the amalgamation of thousands of demons. It all depends on who is the leader. If he is really capable, why don't we make him the leader?"
"Our demon race is capable of that. If not, how could we have swallowed so many worlds over the years?"
"After all, there are many people in some worlds who are blessed by the heavens. If we don't rope them in, it would be hard to win."
It was because of this mechanism that when they arrived in a new world, it looked like they were struck by lightning and split into thousands of pieces. In actual fact, they were just broken into pieces.
"Furthermore, it's not like I don't have any countermeasures!" The blind Daoist thought to himself as he spoke plainly, "It's not difficult to control them. You will know in the future."
"As for now, it's more important to make this person do things for us demons." As the blind Daoist spoke, his tone was filled with confidence. When the scholar heard this, he was convinced, "I understand. But how can we make him do things wholeheartedly?"
"It's not difficult to make him do things. I just need to reveal some of the techniques of the demon race and make him think that the demon race has no leader. That way, he can fight for the throne. For the sake of his ambition, he will naturally do his best."
As the blind Daoist spoke, he smiled. The scholar did not speak further as he took a step back.
Dark Altar Mountain, Main Hall
There was a pond in front of the main hall. The water rippled, and golden scales could be seen leaping out of it. Clouds and mist could be seen swirling around the pond. Taking a deep breath was like drinking dew. At this point, Cheng Yuan Zi was sitting on a cloud couch, breathing in deeply. His life force was growing stronger. Ten years, twenty years, thirty years. His body trembled as his wrinkles disappeared. Spiritual light flashed across his eyes as all sorts of unbelievable knowledge and techniques appeared.
"What? It's like this? " Cheng Yuan Zi touched it and was stumped. Initially, he had some resistance. But after reading a few lines, he started to thirst. He was not willing to relax at all as he read.
As he read, Cheng Yuan Zi's True Energy started to transform into demonic energy. He did not stop it.
"All sorts of techniques, although they are techniques from the outside world, can be used as a reference." When Cheng Yuanzi finished reading, he suddenly opened his eyes. There was an unconcealable smile on his face, and there was even more longing in his eyes. Many of the mysteries that he had been unable to see through in the past had all been cleared up today. Most importantly, he had originally been unable to see the path, but now he could see a new path opening up in front of him.
"Who would've thought that the heavens are so vast and the void is so hard to traverse. I'm truly a frog at the bottom of a well." Cheng Yuanzi laughed involuntarily, mocking himself in a low voice. Then, he laughed again. His face was like jade, his expression serene and full of vitality, like the majestic vitality of a hundred years ago.
"A blessing in disguise. I thought it was a poison, but it turned out to be an immortal medicine."
"In this world, there is an upper limit. True Immortals are hard to reach, and the Demon Sovereign rules over a world. His status is equivalent to that of a True Immortal. Right now, the Demon Race is divided, and their strength is weak. Moreover, they are without a leader.
'As an Earth Immortal, my powers are deep and profound. As long as I can convert all of them, I will definitely be the strongest among them. Only I am the most suitable person to be the Demon Emperor. The only thing I can do now is to convert all the disciples of Dark Altar Sect and their fate energy into my own, so that I can become an Emperor. '
As for whether he was a human or a demon, this wasn't a problem to someone who had lived for more than two hundred years. As long as he was alive, everything was fine.
Thinking this way, he stood up and took several steps forward. The sunlight shone through the doors of the main hall, and was filled with dense spiritual energy. Cheng Yuanzi felt a sense of contentment that he hadn't felt for a long time. He could feel the changes within his body, and wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he spoke softly, "So it seems that demonization requires energy as well. Ordinary people don't have any energy, and it's hard for them to be corrupted. It's much easier for the disciples who have energy."
"It's no wonder that when Xie Cheng Dong was still alive, my Dark Altar Sect was able to demonize so many people. King Lu's army was much slower."
"Now that I think about it, it's because the Demonic Qi is stronger when it's stronger, and weaker when it's weaker. It's like vines coiling around a tree."
"Since that's the case, I shall go and see the disciples who have been demonized."
Thinking this way, a smile appeared on his face. Cheng Yuanzi then walked out, as several disciples on duty hurriedly welcomed him and bowed. Cheng Yuanzi remained silent for a moment before waving his hands, "Pass down my orders. Gather all the disciples who have been corrupted."
"I've already understood the crux of the matter, and can remove all the impurities."
The surrounding disciples believed him, and were overjoyed. One of them then said, "True Sovereign meditated, and finally understood the mysteries of the heavens. Save us. I shall do it immediately."
As he spoke, he hurriedly left.
When news of this spread, Elder Yu Kan, who was waiting outside, was overjoyed. He had wrinkles on his face, and his eyes were filled with wisdom. He was the number one Elder in the sect, and was in charge of managing the sect's daily affairs.
The biggest problem for the sect now was that the evil spirits had invaded their bodies. This had dragged on for three months, and they still hadn't been able to resolve it. Furthermore, they couldn't kill the evil spirits as they pleased. This was a huge blow to the morale of the sect. Now that he heard Cheng Yuanzi say that he had a solution, he hurriedly ordered, "Gather all the Elders, and set up a cleansing array."
"All the disciples who have been corrupted, send them out in batches. Do not mess around."
"Those disciples who wish to observe, are not allowed to approach the cleansing array. Just line up according to your class."
As he spoke, Yu Kan gave out orders. After some time, he rushed into the main hall and bowed to Cheng Yuanzi, "There are many disciples outside who have heard the news. I've arranged them according to their seniority and status."
"Thank you for your hard work." Cheng Yuanzi smiled and swept his gaze across the hall. He saw that the Elders were lined up in rows, and the disciples were gathered in a formation to suppress the demonization. He then ordered, "Bring them in!"
"Yes!" Several disciples replied and left. In an instant, the first batch of demonized disciples were brought in. These people had demonized faces, and were in the shape of demons. The disciple on the left had scales growing out of his body, and his tongue had split into two. As he was brought forward, his body twisted and contorted like a snake.
There was another disciple who had white fur growing out of his body. He was tall and sturdy, and had a fierce expression on his face. At this moment, his eyes shone with a bewitching light, and his voice was soft and seductive, causing one's hair to stand on end.
When Yu Kan looked closely, he realized that there were a few familiar faces. Usually, they would come to him to ask for advice. Although they weren't his direct disciples, they had some friendly relations with him. Seeing them reduced to such a state, he felt a wave of pain in his heart. He bowed to Cheng Yuanzi and said, "True Sovereign, I've brought them here."
Cheng Yuanzi nodded and looked at the best disciple in the middle. "Jue Song Zi, you're the senior brother inside. What do you think?"
Jue Song Zi looked to be no more than thirty years old, and was the one with the best control over himself. He had delicate features, and was the best at maintaining his human form. It was just that he had a short horn on his head, which he didn't know how to deal with. He struggled to take a step forward and laughed bitterly, "True Sovereign, us fellow disciples and sisters are no longer human, nor are we ghosts. Please have mercy on us and grant us a quick death."
"If you can be kind enough to purify our souls and give us a place to rest, we will be eternally grateful."
As he spoke, tears streamed down his cheeks. Everyone around him felt pity for him. When Cheng Yuanzi heard this, he asked a female disciple, "What about you? What do you think? "
This female disciple was not as calm as Cheng Yuanzi. Her entire body trembled as she curled up into a ball. She still said, "True Sovereign, I only wish for a quick death. I only wish for a quick death …"
As she spoke, Cheng Yuanzi looked around. Everyone had quietened down, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. His expression was calm as usual as he instructed, "Since that's the case, bring him here first."
The suppressed disciple immediately brought him over. Jue Song Zi did not resist, instead closing his eyes and waiting for his death.
Cheng Yuanzi giggled. She stretched out her finger and pointed at the space between Jue Song Zi's eyebrows with lightning speed. Everyone revealed expressions of pity, thinking that the space between the eyebrows would explode. Unexpectedly, Jue Song Zi gave a muffled groan and fell down, twitching on the ground.
Everyone looked over and saw that although Jue Song Zi was twitching, the demonic Qi on his body was rapidly dissipating. His body gradually recovered, and his eyes gradually became clear.
"It's done, he's been purified." The surrounding disciples and Elders all revealed looks of joy.
Jue Song Zi only regained his senses after a long time. He stepped forward and kowtowed, "Many thanks to True Sovereign for saving me. I've already recovered, and I can feel that the demonic Qi is gone."
As he spoke, tears flowed down his cheeks.
Cheng Yuanzi glanced at Jue Song Zi and secretly sensed him. He knew that although his demonic Qi looked clear on the surface, it was actually more docile, and it had taken root even deeper. Cheng Yuanzi could feel it, but he could command this disciple. He was overjoyed, but his expression did not change. He only said, "Next!"
Seeing the changes, the escorting disciples were all pleasantly surprised. These demonized disciples naturally had their friends, fellow apprentices, and even lovers or masters. Seeing that they could recover, they could not help but be overjoyed.
They immediately obeyed the order and another demonized disciple stepped forward. Cheng Yuanzi pointed at him, and spiritual energy gradually appeared. The demonic Qi was deeply hidden, and his voice, face, and appearance were all restored. Immediately, thunderous cheers rang out.
"What a blessing for our sect." Yu Kan watched from the side as the Earth Immortals continuously extracted demonic Qi. He felt relieved. Fortunately, there were still Earth Immortals in the sect. Now that the demonic Qi was removed, the sect would naturally prosper.
And at this moment, Yu Kan's expression suddenly changed. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he was shocked and quietly retreated.
Yu Kan quickly retreated into a hall. This hall had a portrait of the Patriarch hanging in front of it. Spiritual incense was burning in front of the portrait, and smoke lingered in the air.
Yu Kan's expression was calm as he looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he stepped forward, "Greetings, Patriarch. May I know what instructions you have for me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in the portrait of the Patriarch. The figure had an anxious expression on his face, "Something is wrong. Just now, the previous generations of Patriarchs in the Paradise all had ominous signs. A great calamity has descended. Immediately arrange for the disciples who can inherit the sect to leave the mountain and carry out Operation Wild Grass."
Wild grass. Even if the branches were destroyed by fire, the ground would be completely destroyed. However, its roots would be hidden deep in the ground, and it would grow again in spring. This implied that the sect was about to be destroyed, and the disciples had fled. Like wild grass, it would grow again in spring. Yu Kan was shocked when he heard this. This was a move that the sect had to make a comeback in the face of a great calamity. Why would it be used now?
Just as he was about to ask, the Patriarch waved his hand, "We are separated by life and death. The amount of time I can speak is very short. Go and carry it out immediately. There is no need to ask too many questions. Pay attention to the changes in the sect. If something is wrong, immediately..."
The Patriarch hurriedly instructed. Yu Kan's expression was solemn as he understood. It seemed that something big had happened in the sect, and he couldn't explain it in detail. His heart was filled with guesses, and he could only comply.
With a few words, the figure disappeared, and the portrait returned to normal. Yu Kan hurried out, his face still dripping with sweat. He wiped it off and walked out of the hall. The hall was still filled with cheers, and disciples were recovering one after another. However, a shadow was cast over his heart. He called a disciple over, and said a few words to him before he turned around and left.
