If the Demon Ancestor was the origin of the Demonic Dao, then it was even before the Grand Master.
When the Master achieved Dao, the Demon Ancestor had already shaken the world. The ancient wilderness could be said to be the era when the Demonic Dao was at its most rampant. Whether it was the era of blood sacrifice and slaughter of the ancient witchcraft, or the ancient demon gods who opposed the Heavenly Mother and other ancient gods, they all had the shadow of the Demon Ancestor behind them.
And the postnatal lifeform cultivation method represented by the Qi Practitioners also had traces of the Demon Ancestor's interference in the beginning. For this reason, one of the two branches of Qi Practitioners was tainted by the Demon Ancestor, becoming a brand new Demonic Dao cultivation system. Xuanzheng Chau's Ten Paths of the Origin Sect was such.
In the past, when the Master achieved Dao, heaven and earth changed color, and the Demon Ancestor personally led the demons to stop him. If not for the protection of the ancient Immortals of the Master's generation, the Mystic Dao could not have been established in the beginning.
In the Mystic Dao era, the Mystic Dao was only truly established from the moment the Master achieved Dao. The previous Dark Age was probably only briefly mentioned in the ancient books of the various sects.
Tens of thousands of Immortals died, and the rain of blood did not disperse for nine days.
Even the phenomenon of the Grand Supreme Dao Ancestor corroborating the Dao could not suppress this phenomenon. It was not until the Master made a great wish and slashed out an incarnation to personally enter the Netherworld Demonic Domain to save these fellow Daoists that the resentment was finally eliminated, allowing the Mystic Dao to flourish. The Painting of Saving the Sage was a depiction of this scene in Xuanzheng Chau's Painting of Salvation.
Many of these ancient Immortals who helped the Master achieve Dao were now the direct descendants of the Master's 81 transformations, occupying the position of the Master's incarnation. The others reincarnated and cultivated one after another to achieve Immortal Dao.
Starting from the Master, the Mystic Dao grew stronger step by step. Under the Master's protection, the two Taoist Priests, Tai Xiao and Tai Yuan, were born one after another. Then, with the power of the three Taoist Priests, they began to clean up the demonic cultivators.
The three Taoist Priests had destroyed the Nine Underworlds Devil Domain that the Devil Path had created in the Turbid Land. Demon Ancestor was sealed in the depths of the Demon Domain. Ninety percent of the other Demon Sect mighty figures had died, and only a few scattered outside had managed to escape. However, the Supreme Firmament Palace of the Heaven Domain had put a bounty on every Demon Sect mighty figure who could display the supreme might of the Three Palaces Immortal Dao to suppress the universe.
First, it was the Demon Ancestor, then the Demon Sect's Celestial Immortal, and finally, the human Demon Cultivators.
The number of days when the Daoists would grow and the devils would vanish was exactly how it was carried out step by step over thousands of years. Ever since the destruction of the demon race … The Celestial Sect of Wonders had begun to close the net step by step. Currently, they were at the final step of closing the net. When the last disease of Devil Cultivators in the human world is cleared, the Taixiao Taoist Priests can practice Devil Cultivation to attain Tao, and justifiably occupy the second Karma Rank of the Three Poles of the Universe.
Seeing the Heavenly Immortal from Supreme Firmaments Palace kill off Yang Hengzhen, Ji Feichen finally understood the situation that the Demon Sect was in.
It was too tragic. The path ahead of the Demon Gate was a dead end!
The Skynet Exorcism Operation had already begun. First, they caught the fish in the net, spared the small shrimps in the human world, and uprooted the big shots of the Demon Sect one by one. Then, they used a small net to slowly exhaust the small shrimps to death. Even if there were fish that slipped through the net, as long as they grew to the Celestial Immortal level, they would be stabbed to death with a harpoon.
This top-down operation prevented the human world's Demonic Cultivators and Demon Sect mighty figures from joining forces to destroy the human world, ensuring the safety of billions of mortals. At the beginning, they suppressed the Demon Ancestor with lightning speed, and then slowly cleaned up. The Demon Ancestor could only watch helplessly from the Demon Domain, watching helplessly as his orthodoxy was destroyed by the Immortal Dao.
Ji Feichen smiled bitterly. "I can't help but sigh. Choosing to leave the Demon Sect back then was probably the wisest choice in my life, right?"
The Supreme Demon Domain of the Demon Sect had been sealed, and the Celestial Immortals of the Demon Sect could not go there to obtain protection. The moment the newly advanced Demon Immortals left the mainland, they would be killed by the Immortals. Under this vicious cycle, the Demon Sect increasingly lost the support of the New Army, and was no match for the Celestial Sect.
Thinking of this, Ji Feichen was puzzled. How did the Demon Ancestor lose back then? It was such a good situation, born so long before the Celestial Sect, but it lost so miserably in the end?
Suddenly, a memory of the Demon Ancestor surfaced in his mind.
Fusing with the Demon Ancestor allowed him to obtain part of the Demon Ancestor's insights, as well as part of the Demon Ancestor's inherited memories.
The Demon Ancestor could only feel injustice towards the memories of the Demon Sect's crushing defeat.
In ancient times, the humans of the Wilderness fought on various continents. The Demon Ancestor used the Witch Sect's blood sacrifice method to permeate his ideals into the human world. Compared to the so-called benevolence, righteousness, and morality of the present, in ancient times, everyone fought to survive. Instead, the Demon Ancestor's ideals were more suitable.
In that era, the Demon Ancestor could be said to be in the limelight, and he had already firmly stood in front of the Yuan Karma Rank. However, it was at this time that the Master appeared out of nowhere and completely disrupted everything.
In the face of the Master's appearance and the threat that the Celestial Sect might pose, the Demon Ancestor had immediately anticipated it. At that time, the Master was almost equivalent to the current Dangmo Xuansheng, or even weaker. Therefore, the Demon Ancestor, with the idea of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots, was prepared to directly destroy the Celestial Sect before it was born.
However, the ancient Immortals were too united, and each of them fought bravely to protect the Master to successfully prove his Dao.
In the memories of the Demon Ancestor, what annoyed him the most was not the tenacity of the Celestial Sect, but the stupidity of his side.
At that time, the Demon Sect was strong, and there were more than a million Demon Sect disciples. However, all of them were mixed in, and their cultivation levels were uneven. Coupled with the scheming of the various ancient Demon Gods, it was impossible to form an effective alliance. There were even people who secretly tripped up the Demon Ancestor.
In the end, with his group of "pig teammates" and the other party's group of "godly teammates" working together, the Demon Ancestor could only watch helplessly as the Master rose to prominence and obtained the "Xuan" Karma Rank before him, allowing the Celestial Sect to flourish and become one of the orthodox sects of the world. At the same time, the rise of humanity caused the Witch Cult to fade, and the Ancient Gods and Demons to hide behind the scenes.
However, this was not the end. At this time, the Master was at most on the same level as the Demon Ancestor. According to the inheritance that Ji Feichen had obtained, the first and second levels of the Purple Ultimate Sage Diagram were given a system name. The first level and above could be called "Xuansheng" or "Taoist Priests", and the second level and above could be called "Great Sage" or "Daojun". At that time, the Master was only on par with the Demon Ancestor. Although he had a certain Karma Rank advantage, the Demon Sect was still stronger than the Celestial Sect.
In response to this situation, the Master immediately began to cultivate his companions and support the rise of the Taixiao Taoist Priests. On the Demon Sect's side, although the Demon Ancestor wanted to support a confidant, his subordinates all played tricks and fought for this position. In the end, no one got it.
When the Taixiao Taoist Priests reached the Dao, the Demon Ancestor once again led his people to invade. This time, the Demon Sect powerhouses did feel the threat of the Celestial Sect and used all their means. However, the Grand Master kept them in check. In addition, the Celestial Sect was stronger than before, and the Taixiao Taoist Priests reached the Dao smoothly.
The appearance of the Taixiao Taoist Priests was an important turning point for the Immortal Sect and the Demon Sect. It meant that the Celestial Sect had changed from a defensive position to an active attack. Because of this, the Taixiao Taoist Priests' Karma Rank was directly related to Demon Refinement.
The Second Saint guarded the Celestial Sect. Later, the Taixiao Taoist Priests appeared again, causing the Demon Sect to lose. The Taixiao Taoist Priests and the Taixiao Taoist Priests did not care about their face. They put down their statuses and personally killed the Great Sage of the Demon Sect. In the end, the Demon Sect suffered a bitter end.
Everything was because of the appearance of the three Taoist Priests. In the end, it was because the Demon Sect was not in harmony and they each did things their own way.
Therefore, the Celestial Sect had a clear division of labor among the three palaces to ensure that the Immortal Sect would not take the path of the Demon Sect.
After obtaining part of the inheritance of the Demon Ancestor, Ji Feichen clearly saw the current situation.
The Demon Sect had beaten the absolute best cards into a crippled army and was currently struggling at death's door.
"It seems that when Daojun asked me about my future choice, he didn't just want me to choose the Immortal Sect and the Demon Sect."
Was there a need to choose? Everyone knew that the Demon Sect had no future. Unless the people of the Demon Sect made up their minds and truly united together to launch a new "Xuansheng", there was no chance at all.
"In that case, what Daojun means is …" Ji Feichen's heart stirred. He said in a firm tone, "My choice is to open the right path among the Demon Sect. It's not to kill them, but to give them a chance of survival. I'll let the Demon Sect change its face and reopen the Great Path with the ideology of the Origin Path. "
After hearing this, Daojun smiled. Lotus flowers bloomed on the River Styx. Each lotus reflected the Great Path that Daojun symbolized.
"So, your great wish to refine demons to achieve the Dao still stands?"
"Of course it does! This wish comes from the bottom of my heart. I want to reopen the Origin Path. " Ji Feichen's gaze was firm. "Of course, the Origin Path I speak of is the Origin Path that the ancient Qi Practitioners imitated the Gods and Demons. It's not the Ancient Witchcraft or the Ancient Demon Gods."
The Demon Sect appeared too early. In the beginning, demons and gods were opposed. They were evil gods and Demon Gods. After the rise of the Witchcraft, the Demon Ancestor also expanded the methods of blood sacrifice and human sacrifice in the Witchcraft. It turned the Witchcraft from an orthodox sect that protected the human race and worshiped gods into an evil sect that everyone hated. As for the gods worshiped by the Witchcraft, because of the influence of the blood sacrifice, they were demoted from orthodox gods to evil gods.
Demons could not be destroyed. Demons were the opposite of "righteousness". They were aliens that could not be tolerated by the orthodox path.
The Dao gave birth to Taiji, dividing Yin and Yang. From the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, good and evil were Yin and Yang, one positive and one negative. One was a sage, the other a demon.
Even if the Demon Sect was destroyed now, it would only be a temporary destruction of the Demon Sect, which was opposed to the Immortal Dao. In the future, as the Immortal Dao developed, there would be degenerates who would form a brand new Demon Sect.
However, the day of "Dao grows and Demons vanishes" had already been determined. Even the Great Sage of the heavens could only do something about this day.
Ji Feichen's act of refining demons to achieve the Dao and reopening the orthodox path in the Demon Sect was just to comply with this day. The conversion of the Demon Sect to the orthodox path would also mean that the Demon Sect would vanish. This was in line with the general trend of the heavens.
'But this way, I'll have to go against the Taixiao Taoist Priests.' Daojun thought to himself.
He looked for Ji Feichen to test the waters. He wanted to see if Ji Feichen was worth his help.
According to Daojun's idea, the best outcome was to find a way to solve the karma between Ji Feichen and Dangmo Xuansheng. They could live in peace. Although it was troublesome, it was not impossible for Daojun. It was just that he would have to pay a hefty price.
The problem was, was Ji Feichen worth his effort?
It was true that Ji Feichen could open up the River Styx, which allowed Daojun to successfully fulfill his great wish of a pure land. From this point of view, supporting Ji Feichen was very beneficial to Daojun.
But should he treat Ji Feichen as a potential ally? A confidant that he could trust? Or a chess piece that could be discarded at will?
At the very least, Ji Feichen had to show his stance, intentions, and value so that Daojun would consider how to treat him in the future.
Currently, Ji Feichen had stepped into the Ground Fairies level. Ji Feichen, who had obtained part of the Demon Ancestor's inheritance, had the qualifications to be valued by Daojun.
