Along the way, the Nether World was visibly in chaos. The Road to the Underworld had been cut off. Countless souls were floating in the River Styx, muddleheaded all the way to Samsara. Occasionally, there were lonely souls and wild ghosts who were lucky enough to break free, wandering in the Yin Soil of the Nether World. Youdu City on the other side of the Bridge of Helplessness had been broken, but the Nether World had not yet been affected. However, Youdu City had been broken. Those evil things trapped in the darkness would sooner or later wreak havoc here.
When that time came, the Nether World would become a bizarre land of death. Apart from Daira who could come and go as he pleased, even Gold Immortals and Primordial Immortals would be in danger.
Yuan Yu already knew that if he and his team had not fallen into River Styx's trap, they would not have been able to escape.
Not to mention the Xue Tu King, Ajati, Reverend Fajing, the group of fiendish cultivators, Buddhists, and righteous Daolords, even a Deputy Sect Master like him, as well as Imperial Emperor Zi Yang, Daolord Corpse Demon, Daira of the dragon race, and the nameless old monk like Daira, could forget about leaving the Ruins of End alive. The terror hidden in the Ultimate was truly indescribable.
Rho's Demon Ancestor's final enlightenment, the Great Dao returns to the void, the end of time!
Hiding the third Demon Ancestor of the demonic path, the evil Demon Ancestor Ketu, the Great Darkness Sky!
The Demon Ancestor, who imprisoned River Styx, attempted to redefine Daira, and created something that possessed the power of Daira but did not have the Innate Inextinguishable Divine Aura and was not recognized by the Great Dao. There was also the Primordial Evil Being created by River Styx's experiments, creating a forbidden species that was not tolerated by great mediums, the Mahesvara!
The core fragment after the destruction of the Netherworld, the abyss of Youdu City, where the Great Darkness Heavenly Evil Beings and countless distorted souls were hidden!
There might also be a portion of the Primordial Demon Court that was destroyed during the Great Magi-Demon War!
There might even be the remains of the Ancient Heavenly Court!
It was the fragment that fell into the blood sea after the Primordial Buzhou Mountain shattered!
The burial ground where the bodies of the Twelve Grand Wizards were buried …
In the primordial era, there were two divine mountains and immortal islands that sank into the Sinkhole!
The missing Primordial West Ocean and North Ocean Eye!
The civilization of prehistoric human beings created by the reckless Lord Daira, who attempted to compete with Goddess Nuwa and Her Majesty Houtu for the creation of human beings in the primeval times, was the civilization of pseudo-humans!
Rho's old subordinates, the true remnants of Asura!
The remains of the Mystic Door's Daira Sky!
Haotian's old body, a fragment of the ancient Heavenly Realm!
The place where the Golden Crow bathed in the sun, the Tang Valley, Fusang!
There were countless eras in the primeval times, innumerable ancient wars, and the rise of innumerable races and civilizations. Innumerable things that perished, were buried, forgotten, exiled, perished, distorted, sunk, despaired, and hopeful had all returned to the End of Nothingness. This place was like a bottomless abyss that could not be entered or exited, and it buried all taboos.
It was only after being possessed by the Ketu Demon Ancestor that Yuan Yu truly came into contact with all living beings! The Ketu Demon Ancestor was formed from the thoughts of the souls of all living beings after they died. What all living beings knew was what he knew. Although he was not omniscient and omnipotent, he was not far from it. After transforming into Black Yin and Yang, Yuan Yu came into contact with the terrifying sea of thoughts formed by all living beings in the primeval times. He was almost impacted and lost himself.
However, he also learned a lot of things from it.
Yuan Yu's mood was extremely complicated. The experience of transforming into Black Yin and Yang was too terrifying. Although he managed to maintain himself, it was inevitable that he would be contaminated and changed, or rather, he would grow! After experiencing and knowing so many things, growth and transformation were inevitable. In a sense, this was a kind of progress in cultivation, but in another sense, it was also an advantage for himself.
Yuan Yu knew that he could no longer go back!
He was no longer a pure disciple of the Mystic Door. He could not avoid being tainted by the colors of the Demon Door. He wandered in the sea of thoughts of all living beings. The Path of Divinity was only in contact with the prayers of all living beings and the power of their wishes. Compared to the pure expectations and pious thoughts, it was said that incense was poisonous. Moreover, the River Styx took in the endless and meticulous thoughts of all living beings.
Eighty percent of them were distracting thoughts. Many of them flashed by, filled with extreme evil that broke ethics, violated morality, had no taboos, and had no bottom line … They were filled with chaos, indescribable sins, and distortions.
The thoughts that flashed in the minds of these living beings were suppressed by the moral teachings.
To individuals, these were just distracting thoughts. Because of the teachings and morality, the thoughts of all living beings tended to be normal. Those distorted and abnormal thoughts, those tyrannical, shameless, cruel, and chaotic thoughts could not change the nature of all living beings. However, they occupied a large part of the sea of thoughts of all living beings, turning into endless demons and Yin Demons, becoming the source of evil for all living beings.
This was the origin of the evil Demon Ancestor!
Evil came from the source, originating from the fundamental thoughts of humans, the seven emotions and six desires. Evil came from distracting thoughts, the endless distracting thoughts that were born and extinguished as they were born. Not only were they born in the consciousness of all living beings, but they were also suppressed and destroyed. Once these distracting thoughts could not be suppressed, evil thoughts would be born in all living beings … However, the evil thoughts in the consciousness of humans only existed for a short period of time. However, after these thoughts turned into ghosts, they would exist forever.
In this way, the countless living beings in the Primordial World, the accumulated distracting thoughts, and the distracting thoughts that had once been born, became a part of the All Beings Demon Ancestor. They became countless Yin Demons and evil thoughts that were infinitely larger than the number of the Primordial World. They gathered into an ocean. How terrifying was that?
The evil Demon Ancestor … used the evil blaze as its foundation and the evil thoughts as its wings. Those who truly understood its essence would tremble.
Even the righteous path of the Mystic Door, the enlightenment of Buddhism, and the orthodox moral ideals of the human race could not be destroyed. Instead, they had to be careful of being contaminated and destroyed by it. They could only fight against it continuously.
Evil was the source of the seven emotions and six desires. Evil could only develop and grow when it had the evil foundation. Evil could only break through its bottom line when it had the bewitchment of evil. Therefore, regardless of whether it was the Mystic Door or the Buddhism, they had to use meditation to wipe away the dust in their hearts and maintain the calmness of their thoughts so that they would not have distracting thoughts and Yin Demons would not disturb them.
Only by suppressing evil thoughts and then using moral education to eradicate the root of evil could one get rid of evil and return to the righteous path.
Yuan Yu transformed into Yin and Yang and saw the endless evil thoughts of the Primordial World. There were countless Yin Demons, countless distracting thoughts, and countless evil views. The accumulated distracting thoughts of countless living beings in the Primordial World attacked him. In an instant, countless evil thoughts were infected. The evil thoughts touched the root of evil and almost merged with the evil, distorting and changing Yuan Yu's essence and self forever.
Even so, Yuan Yu changed because of the purification of the living beings' evil thoughts. His foundation changed, and his cultivation improved.
"No wonder the Demon Ancestor of All Beings is the Evil Demon Ancestor, and the Evil Demon Ancestor is the Demon Ancestor of All Beings." Yuan Yu still had lingering fear when he thought of it. "The Evil Demon Ancestor was originally a dark demon god born from the source of Youdu City. Because the souls of living beings had nowhere to go, they wailed in Youdu City day and night, suffering endless pain and suffering. It was a twisted existence, the Lord of Evil. Because of its twisted essence, it was called the Evil Demon Ancestor. "
"The Patriarch of River Styx interrupted the birth of the Evil Demon Ancestor and helped Lady Houtu open up reincarnation, taking away the source of hell, so that the Evil Demon Ancestor could not be born. However, the Patriarch created a terrifying existence like the evil thoughts, so that the thoughts and consciousness of living beings could not be destroyed. Every thought and thought would turn into evil ghosts, gathering into the sea of collective consciousness of all living beings."
"The Patriarch of River Styx realized that evil did not originate from darkness, but from the nature of living beings. He defined the seven emotions and six desires, the negative nature of living beings, as evil, and the endless distracting thoughts as evil. The two complemented each other, and thus evil became one, creating the supreme source of evil. It is greed, sloth, lust, fear, domination … "
"The Patriarch of River Styx believed that the nature of living beings is emotion, and those with emotion are living beings."
"Therefore, from emotion comes desire, and from desire comes evil. All evil originates from emotion, and the seven emotions and six desires are the most fundamental nature of living beings."
"Evil arises from emotion, and with emotion comes selfishness. That is why the Heavenly Dao is impartial and almost emotionless. All living beings have emotions, and thus evil is born. Love and evil are interdependent, and cannot be separated. Therefore, evil can only be suppressed, enlightened, and tamed, but cannot be eradicated. In the hearts of all living beings, there is an evil root. Although the evil root is born, the emotions of all living beings also have good karma. Good and evil are chaotic, and naturally, there is no imbalance."
"Only the endless distracting thoughts are born and extinguished, and the distracting thoughts give birth to evil. It is precisely because of the nourishment of evil that the evil root will grow, and finally, evil will become one, sinking into hell!"
The Demon Ancestor of All Beings controlled evil, which meant that he controlled the growth of the distracting thoughts of all living beings. With a single thought, the Demon Ancestor of All Beings could control the distracting thoughts of all living beings. The endless ghosts turned into Yin Demons, causing the distracting thoughts of all living beings to grow. Before they could be suppressed and extinguished, the evil root would grow, and subsequently distort one's nature, turning it towards evil. Back then, in the Garden of Solitude, the Revered One of the World had foreseen this side of the Demon Ancestor, and thus blurted out the definition of Yin Demons in an attempt to help all living beings distinguish the distracting thoughts that came from their nature, and the distracting thoughts that came from other natures.
However, the evil Demon Ancestor had long surpassed self-nature and other natures. The Demon Ancestor of All Beings did not have an ego, and the evil Demon Ancestor did not have the concept of 'I'. Therefore, to all living beings, there was no concept of 'other'.
This was the absence of self and other!
The Demon Ancestor of All Beings did not have an ego, and to all living beings, he was not 'other'. The Demon Ancestor of All Beings did not have an ego, so to all living beings, evil was not him. It seemed like the River Styx had given up control over the source of evil, but in reality, it had given up control over evil, so evil could not be controlled …
Therefore, the Demon Ancestor of All Beings controlled the evil of all living beings, and did not interfere with or nurture evil. Only when all living beings saw external appearances would they have distracting thoughts. These distracting thoughts were difficult to distinguish between self-nature and other natures, and could not be controlled. It was like a person who would have all sorts of distracting thoughts when he saw money. If his morals were not complete, and there were too many distracting thoughts, it would nurture his greedy nature. Then, evil would merge, and the self would deviate.
The distracting thoughts produced by the spread of such information would naturally become the Great Dao.
After the evil Demon Ancestor was born, the more information he knew, the easier it was for him to have distracting thoughts. It was like how if a person did not have the concept of money, then when he saw money, he would not have any distracting thoughts, and this would further fuel the root of evil. However, cultivation was the fastest way to receive information. Therefore, the stronger one was, the stronger one's desires would be. The stronger one was, the more information one would receive, and the easier it was for distracting thoughts to be born.
Therefore, the stronger one's cultivation was, the stronger the root of evil desire would be, and the more distracting thoughts there would be. Then, evil would merge, and the self would deviate, sinking into the Demon Dao.
In this way, the evil Great Dao of the Demon Dao was in line with the nature of all living beings. It was natural and close to the Great Dao.
It had truly become a part of the foundation of the Great Dao. All living beings were sentient, so they were evil. Unless the sentient nature of all living beings was eradicated, evil would not be extinguished. Even Laozi, with his wisdom, could only pass down moral teachings to suppress the evil nature of all living beings. From then on, with the existence of the Mystic Door and Buddhism, there would definitely be the Demon Dao. Without the Mystic Door and Buddhism, the Demon Dao would flourish, and it would be almost invincible.
The Mystic Door and Buddhism passed down moral teachings, so those who went against the moral teachings were evil. Therefore, the more prosperous the moral teachings were, the more evil would penetrate deep into people's hearts. The deeper the teachings of Buddhism, the clearer the concept of the Demon Dao. The Dao was one foot higher, and the Demon Dao was ten feet higher. It was like the two sides of Yin and Yang. Morality was like a circle, and the Demon Dao was the external world that the circle came into contact with. The larger the area of the circle, the larger the external world it came into contact with.
The circle would never be able to exceed the area it came into contact with.
This was because morality was limited, but evil was limitless!
It was because Yuan Yu realized this that he understood the true foundation of the Demon Dao that River Styx was scheming against. When the Evil Demon Ancestor was achieved, all living beings would have endless distracting thoughts. As long as the distracting thoughts were not eliminated, the evil nature of all living beings would not be severed. In this way, the unity of evil and evil would truly establish the unparalleled foundation of the Demon Dao. This sounded simple, but it was actually very terrifying.
Originally, among all living beings, there might be some species with firm thoughts and no distracting thoughts.
Some almighty beings who cultivated to a profound realm and became Taiyi or Daolord could cultivate the Buddhist Tranquil Method or the Mystic Door Method of Heart Cultivation. They could also have pure thoughts and no distracting thoughts. In the Primordial Times, when one reached a certain realm, they would not have any distracting thoughts, and their nature would not be distorted. This was completely possible. However, after the Evil Demon Ancestor was born, it was completely impossible!
This was because the Evil Demon Ancestor had become the ocean of the subconscious of all living beings. The subconscious of all living beings could not be controlled by an individual. Even if they controlled their bodies and minds and purified their thoughts, when they saw all kinds of information, they would still be filled with distracting thoughts and Yin Demons would be born.
In other words, originally, cultivators could mark themselves with a Thought Steel Seal and solidify their thoughts. Although they would become stubborn, they would not change their nature. It could be said that their nature was solidified. However, after River Styx created the Evil Demon Ancestor and created the Demon Ancestor of all living beings, the consciousness of all living beings were connected together to form the ocean of subconscious. As long as information and distracting thoughts were not extinguished, it was equivalent to creating information transmission technology. When one received information, they would definitely be affected by it. Unless they did not think or think, they would definitely be affected by the external information.
Because of this, even the most powerful cultivator could be possessed by the devil.
Before the Evil Demon Ancestor was born, once an eminent Buddhist monk achieved the Bodhisattva Buddhahood, he could completely restrain his thoughts and achieve the state where there was no Bodhi tree and no mirror. There was originally nothing, so where was the dust?
Even if everyone that Bodhisattva knew was brought to him and slaughtered, he could still do it. There was originally nothing, so where was the dust?
He solidified his self and would not be moved by external things.
However, after the Evil Demon Ancestor was born, the Bodhisattva's body was like a Bodhi tree and his heart was like a mirror. If he did not wipe it, it would definitely be tainted with dust. If he saw a world being destroyed in front of him and all living beings sinking in front of him, yet he was powerless to do anything about it, if he saw all kinds of cruelty, violence, shamelessness, twisting black and white, unable to distinguish right from wrong, his compassionate heart would also give birth to monstrous rage and endless resentment. He would no longer be able to remain indifferent.
When he saw the deepest darkness in the world, even a Bodhisattva would become a demon.
Of course, such a 'demon' was created by the Buddhist sects. The Mystic Door Buddhists used morality to restrain themselves. The harsher the morality, the stronger the evil.
If the Buddhist sects' definition of Bodhisattva was too high and the Bodhisattva's morality was raised to an unattainable realm, then the Bodhisattva who deviated from this realm would also become a demon. For example, the boundless resentment, the Bodhisattva who saw the deepest evil in the world and rose up to slaughter those shameless and cruel Bodhisattvas who cleansed the world.
As such, the higher the realm of the Mystic Door Buddhists and the higher their morality, it would be like they were sitting on a high platform, teetering on the verge of collapse. The more they restricted themselves, the easier it would be for them to fall into the Demonic Dao.
This was the principle of good and evil, Dao and Demonic, Yin and Yang, interdependence.
It was precisely because Yuan Yu saw the most fundamental evil principle of the Ketu Demon Ancestor that he understood the principle of good and evil, Dao and Demonic like Yin and Yang. The higher one's cultivation, the deeper one's morality, and the higher one's realm would be. Beyond the visible Dao, the invisible Demonic would also be stronger, even higher and stronger than the Dao. The higher one's morality, the easier it would be to be defeated.
When the Dao rises, the Demonic doesn't disappear; when the Dao falls, the Demonic grows!
Yuan Yu knew too many truths about the Evil Demon Master, so he became more and more taciturn. The group arrived at the Gate of the Underworld. Looking at the impregnable gate that separated Yin and Yang and divided life and death, Xie Tu and the others all felt as if they had been in another world. In front of the Gate of the Underworld, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, the two immortals who were like mountains, were guarding it. A divine tiger that shook its head and tail slowly walked not far away. It glanced at them and went straight into the gate.
Its mountain-like claws played with the two Divine Masters for a while before it slowly walked to the huge peach tree and Xiao Tian took a nap.
When Shen Tu saw Xue Tu and the others enter the gate, he said in surprise, "It's actually you Demon Brats …"
"You've caused a lot of trouble in the Underworld. I knew you were going to do something big … I heard that the Ten Temples' Yanluo were all killed?"
Yuan Yu chuckled softly and said, "The Ten Temples' Yanluo were not killed, how could you not know?"
Shen Tu choked on his words and then burst into laughter. He rubbed his head and said, "Us brothers are just guarding the gate, we don't know anything … Haha, we don't know anything, and it has nothing to do with us … Poor us brothers, we've been working so hard to guard the Hell's Gate for the Underworld, we've been busy every day … The disputes in the Underworld have nothing to do with us!"
Yu Lei smiled and rubbed the tiger's head, rubbing the divine tiger like a big cat, it let out a low purr.
"In order to save Prince Mu, the little demon Bai Suzhen from the Upper Worlds did not hesitate to barge into the Hell's Gate, created a disturbance in the Underworld, and triggered the Devil Calamity of the Underworld. The Yin God was destroyed, and even the Ten Temples' Yanluo suffered because of this, affecting the fate of countless creatures in the Untainted Land, and changing the situation of the Heavenly Court. Emperor Zhuanxu has already heard of this and specially sent someone to pick up Bai Suzhen. Not long ago, Bai Suzhen, Fahai, and Prince Mu had already come out from here and went to the Heavenly Court. It is said that Celestial Emperor Dong Hua has sent an angel to pick them up. It is not appropriate for us to stop the reunion of father and son. "
Shen Tu said, "But even though this pair of lovers are innocent, they still caused a great calamity in the end. Humans and gods are in love, and they've gone against the laws of heaven. I wonder what will happen to these two after they leave, and I feel deep sympathy for them!"
"This touching love between gods and demons, as well as the changes in the Underworld during this period of time, the two of us have already recorded it down. We named it 'The Legend of the White Snake That Moves the Heavens and Earth' to record this taboo love and the beginning and end of the great calamity of the Underworld."
"This is the beginning and end of the great calamity of Hell. It was personally written by us Yin Gods of Hell, the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions … The Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions seem to be the only ones left. No, that's not right. The only Yin Gods left alive in Hell are the two of us! We brothers are the greatest gods in Hell! We are the will of the underworld, and what we record is the 'truth' of Hell's great calamity! "
"The Legend of the White Snake that Moves the Heavens and Earth and the Legend of Emperor Mu are the reasons and history of the great calamity that our Netherworld has determined. They are the work of us brothers with our blood, sweat and tears." Yu Lei passed the two books to Yuan Yu and said, "If anyone dares to disagree, us brothers will blow up his dog head and make him unable to become a ghost!"
"I'll leave these two books to you. You must let the gods of the Heavenly Courts and the living beings of the Primordial World know the truth about the Netherworld Tribulation."
Shen Tu nodded and said, "This is to prevent a small group of Gods and cultivators who don't know the truth from spreading rumors, causing the people of the Three Realms to be deceived by these rumors and misunderstand the whole story of the Underworld's great tribulation."
Yuan Yu took the two books and flipped through them.
At the foot of Mount Qingcheng, Bai Suzhen,
This body has been cultivated for a thousand years in the cave
Practice diligently to attain the Way
Be reborn and become a human! "
Yuan Yu couldn't help but sing out loud. Then, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. "This Bai Suzhen clearly cultivated to become an immortal in Mount Li and was favored by the Holy Mother of Mount Li. She took him in and cultivated for ten thousand years before becoming a Dao Lord and coming out to face the tribulation … Mount Qingcheng is a paradise of the Mystic Door. Why would that demon spirit dare to cultivate at the door?
Great God Shen Tu laughed and said, "You little demon brat, how could you not understand the principle of taboo among Venerables? We have no friendship with the Holy Mother of Li Shan, so how could we offend her just because of a joke? Isn't it better to vaguely brush past such trivial matters? Moreover, Celestial Master Zhang of the Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Master Cave came to the Netherworld the day before yesterday to inquire about the news of the Netherworld's great tribulation. He has always been respectful to us and asked us to spread the name of the Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Master Cave. How can we bear to give him face? "
"You're joking again … You just said that you're the only certified official history of the Netherworld."
Yuan Yu was speechless! He hurriedly flipped through the Legend of the White Snake, which was filled with a lot of 'reasonable speculations', 'artistic processing', and 'oral legends'. According to the records, the Netherworld's great tribulation was really …
Ups and downs, full of deep love.
Yuan Yu actually saw the shadows of countless infatuated men and women in this book. He raised his head and glanced at the two great gods, Shentu and Yu Lei, and thought to himself, I didn't expect these two big eyes and bushy eyebrows to actually like this … It's also lonely guarding the gates of the Underworld. If there's nothing new to stimulate them, it's really boring!
Looking at the touching plot, the vivid description of the love between men and women, it's obvious that these two have asked countless infatuated children and heard countless love and hatred while guarding the Netherworld's gate … Look at the description of Prince Mu's appearance, the elegant young man who attracted Bai Suzhen's heart, it's clear that he's a young girl who just had her first awakening of love. And this part … Imperial Lord Dong Hua is high and mighty, and he intervenes to stop the two … This is clearly the infatuated man and woman being hindered by the world … Wow! This is a strange story of guarding the Netherworld's gate!
"This interlude, the story of a lone fox demon falling in love with a white-robed swordsman of the human race, falling in love for a thousand years, and being willing to die by the sword, is definitely based on real people and events. Otherwise, it's impossible for you two uncouth fellows to write about the love between a fox demon and a young girl.
"And this love between a human and a ghost. When you were born, I wasn't born, and when I was born, you were already dead. I hate that we didn't meet before we died, and our souls returned together … In the end, they died for love, and became a pair of ghostly lovers?
"I couldn't tell that you two brothers were guarding the Netherworld's gate. I have the ticket, but do you have the story? This kind of business … is exciting, exciting! "
