The legend of Demon Saint had actually been around for a long time, but as Old Antique had said, this was knowledge that could only be learned in advanced university textbooks; most high school students had never come into contact with it.
Demon Saint did indeed exist. According to Old Antique, after repelling the demon race army back then, General Yi and the other Ten Founding Generals had begun to plot a plan to capture a demon god alive. Capturing a demon god alive was far more difficult than directly killing it. They had learned about Demon Saint from the three demon gods who had been captured alive back then. Not long after their memories had been extracted, however, the three demon gods had started to perish right under everyone's noses, and in the end had been reduced to ashes.
"Are these demon gods all dead?" Listening to Old Antique's story, the people in class didn't quite understand.
"Maybe they're dead, maybe they're still alive … the only thing we can be sure of is that Demon Saint is behind all of this," Old Antique said with a frown. Old Antique frowned and said, "Ever since the human world and the demon world were connected through the Gate Between Worlds, human cultivators have been studying the demon race. The source of their power is different from our spirit qi, and they rely on the demon qi in the demon world to cast any spells.
"It's precisely because the composition of their power source is different from ours that the way the demon race inherits power is definitely different from that of real human cultivators. The so-called demon gods are just subordinates appointed by Demon Saint, the biggest ruler of the demon race. As long as they find a suitable successor, Demon Saint can create a god in his own way. "
"Is this the inheritance of Dao?" Little Peanut asked again.
"A little like it, but there's a difference. In order to continue their Dao hearts for a long time, the Almighties of the past would choose to take in disciples and pass on their lifelong knowledge to their disciples so that they could inherit their mantle. By personally passing on the teachings and imbuing the body with the source of their power, the inheritors of the Dao can greatly shorten the time it takes for them to cultivate … but a true inheritance of Dao isn't something that can be accomplished overnight. "
Speaking up to this point, Old Antique was silent. In fact, there was another rather special situation that he hadn't mentioned. That was Immortal She Pi … directly passing on his power to his children in the form of a new life was also a special method of inheritance of Dao. However, the success rate was very low in general, and one needed to pay attention to some elements that were compatible with Yin and Yang.
Moreover, those who chose this method to pass on their legacy would eventually die of exhaustion.
Thus, Fang Xing was a special case … but this kind of special case was really too rare. The reason why Immortal She Pi had been able to succeed was largely because he was Fang Xing's father and mother. There was no need to pay attention to the theory of "Yin and Yang compatibility" at all. Humans were born with a high degree of Yin and Yang compatibility …
"Just like the previous incident with the Old Devil. That Old Devil took advantage of the impatient nature of many cultivators and tricked them into searching for the Stone Ghost Mask. In the name of inheriting the orthodoxy, he found a body for himself and seized the opportunity to possess it."
Old Antique smiled. "So students, if you come across something good in the future where you can inherit a Taoist orthodoxy, please do register with the official Taoist orthodoxy inheritance organization. But basically, the probability of encountering such a good thing is not high … "
"Wh … why?"
"Finding disciples now is different from the past. In the past, as long as one was talented, there was a possibility of catching the eye of a big shot. But now, with the continuous advancement of science in the cultivation world, it can be said that the big shots' horizons are getting higher and higher. It's not enough to just be talented; you also have to be able to speak, be able to handle matters, and be able to withstand tests of character … if you're told to serve tea, you'll serve tea, and you'll come and go at your beck and call. You can be a waiter for hundreds of years and still have no complaints. Isn't it popular to enter a family tree now? This is actually one of the ways to find a successor to the Taoist orthodoxy. "
Old Antique's words carried a hint of ridicule. Although his tone sounded relaxed, Wang Ling noticed that a lot of people in class were lost in deep thought.
When they were young, a lot of people had probably fantasized about what it would be like to wake up one day and suddenly possess the formidable power that they had always dreamed of. Inheriting a Taoist orthodoxy through the official channels was indeed a way to gain strength in a short period of time, but it was often very difficult to realize.
Today, you could enter someone else's family tree and become a senior disciple, but as long as your "shifu" was even the slightest bit dissatisfied, you could be directly removed from the family tree in a matter of minutes.
Should he be a piece of miserable pork, or should he become a thinking reed?
This is a question worth pondering.
Therefore, the inheritance of orthodoxy was not as glamorous as it seemed. There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Sometimes, the truth behind an event was much more complicated than it seemed.
Wang Ling stared at the relaxed expression on Old Antique's face. He realized that this was one of Old Antique's great charms when he was teaching; he could inadvertently make the students think a lot.
Perhaps he sensed that the atmosphere in the classroom was a little serious, Old Antique rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile, "Of course, if I were taking in disciples, I wouldn't have so many requirements. If I want to accept a disciple, first of all, he must pass the test of history. He must know a lot of gossip, and secondly, he must know how to play! "
Dopey Guo suddenly raised his hand in excitement. "Teacher, teacher! What do you think of me? "
Old Antique looked at him. "Do you eat spicy strips?"
Dopey Guo: "No …"
Old Antique smiled all over his face. "I confirmed with my eyes that you're not the person I'm looking for …"
Dopey Guo: "…"
Everyone: "…"
…
…
Today was Wednesday, which happened to be the day when Loopy Toad and Fatty Luo had made an appointment to pick up the custom-made magic treasure. Because Fatty Luo never used chat software, Loopy Toad didn't even know what he had designed this custom-made magic treasure.
The Bone King had been left behind by poor Dog Saint, so it could be said that it was quite rare. If it messed up the refinement process, would Dog Saint's hot pot lid collapse?
Because Sheep had already led the way last time, Loopy Toad went on its own this time. Boundless Road was a street for refining weapons. Fatty Luo's metal shop wasn't too conspicuous, but it was a rare five-star premium shop on the cultivation review network on Boundless Road.
When it reached the shop entrance, Loopy Toad was still wondering what kind of magic treasure Fatty Luo would refine the Bone King into …
When he entered, Fatty Luo saw Loopy Toad's figure and nodded tacitly. "Don't move, I'll go get the thing." After saying that, he turned around and went to the refining time chamber at the back of the shop to get the thing.
A few minutes later, Fatty Luo came out with a box in his hands and gently placed it in front of Loopy Toad. "Brother Dog, this is the magic weapon you refined from your Bone King. It's a third-class holy weapon, but there's still a lot of room for improvement. If we can find the corresponding materials later on, we can continue to refine it into a second-class or even first-class weapon. "
"Third-class? Not bad! "Loopy Toad's eyes lit up.
After all, it had been refined in such a short time. It didn't have too many expectations for its grade; it was fine as long as it was convenient. Furthermore, the most important thing was that there was still room for improvement in the Bone King.
Fatty Luo crossed his arms and was very pleased with himself. "Brother Dog, open it and take a look. I'm very satisfied with this work."
Loopy Toad opened the box, and then it saw a lustrous green light reflected from the box.
Loopy Toad stared at the light, its expression a little absent-minded.
It understood this principle. As the main material in the refining process, the Bone King could indeed be affected by other supplementary materials, which could cause the finished product to change color slightly.
But why …
