Chapter 217: Chapter 207: "Crowdfunding for Cultivation, Alliance Between Humans and Witches" (Subscription Request)

Although Luo Hou is not yet dead, being suppressed by Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun, most of the Demon Clan present do not believe Luo Hou will ever rise again.

The position of Demon Ancestor, created by Luo Hou’s feats in developing the Demon Path and acknowledged by numerous members of the Demon Clan, requires both conditions and is indispensable. Now, most of the Demon Clan no longer recognize Luo Hou as the Demon Ancestor, causing this supreme position to fragment into several Demon Path positions, similar to Hao Tian’s position as Heavenly Emperor.

"Damn it!"

Luo Hou did not expect that his inviting Xuanqing into the Demon Realm to strengthen the Demon Path would backfire on him.

He is still the Demon Ancestor, but because most of the great Daluo and Great Divine Power of the Demon Path have publicly declared their intention to depose him, his authority, like that of Hao Tian, has greatly diminished.

And the majority of the fortune associated with the Demon Ancestor position is flowing towards those with Great Divine Power, making him no longer the sole Demon Ancestor.

His will, transformed into the ’Eyes of World Annihilation,’ stared fiercely at Xuanqing: "I underestimated you! I thought creating the Devouring Spirit Clan was your limit! But it turns out, you were after the position of the Demon Ancestor!"

"But, since it’s just the position of Demon Ancestor, I’ll give it to you! But I want to see if you guys can truly live up to the name of Demon Ancestor."

Having said that, the Eyes of World Annihilation slowly dissipated, and Luo Hou’s will vanished without a trace, but Xuanqing once again became the focus of all demons present.

A great Daluo of the Demon Clan immediately looked at Xuanqing: "Did Luo Hou just say that the Devouring Spirit Clan was concocted by the Huiyue Demon Lord?"

"Exactly!"

Another demon nodded in agreement.

A great Daluo under the command of Flame Demon roared angrily: "Damn it! It was you who researched such an evil thing!"

Xuanqing looked helpless, she knew Luo Hou would retaliate tooth for tooth, but she didn’t expect retribution to come so quickly.

She was about to become the public enemy of the Demon Realm!

"Mother-child Creation Divine Light!"

Seeing that the great Daluo under Flame Demon wanted to strike at her, a strange light immediately flashed in her eyes, shooting directly towards the belly of that great Daluo.

"Ah!"

The belly of that great Daluo suddenly swelled up, and a new life force began to gestate inside him.

Xuanqing, having no time to observe, immediately fled out of the Myriad Demon Hall.

"Damn it!"

"Kill that bastard!"

Many great Daluos of the Demon Path shivered with fear; the eerie Divine Skill that could actually impregnate a Daluo had become real.

"Chase her!"

In an instant, various Divine Skills were launched at Xuanqing, with several Great Divine Power also taking action, their formidable powers sweeping through the Myriad Demon Hall.

Boom!

Xuanqing’s physical body was blown apart, but several beams of "Mother-child Creation Divine Light" directly shot towards many great Daluo of the Demon Path.

Screams ensued.

With so many attacking simultaneously, her incarnation was doomed!

However, it was just an incarnation, and she had already left a backup plan... thus, she did not reveal her identity nor did she call for help from people like Demon Lord Tongtian!

"Damn that bastard!"

Many Great Divine Power of the Demon Path were furious, knowing that Xuanqing had not truly fallen and that her main body was a being from Primordial.

Destroying just an incarnation did not quell their raging fury in their hearts.

Seeing this, Flame Demon turned to look at Blood Demon Daoist: "You, using the Devouring Spirit Clan as a template, created that eerie Blood Spirit Clan. Are you in cahoots with Huiyue?"

"So what if I am? What if I’m not?"

Blood Demon Daoist, not known for his good temper, roared and transformed a sky-high Blood River, immediately bearing down on Flame Demon in a flash.

That’s the way of the Demon Path, clashing at the slightest disagreement. If you fear other cultivators’ provocations, others will only see you as an easy target.

Boom!

The two Great Divine Power instantly fought over a hundred rounds, the extreme power of destruction even dragging two unfortunate great Daluo of the Demon Path into it.

On one side was the torrential Blood River, on the other, terrifying demonic flames soared, and between the rising demonic qi, endless worlds were born and destroyed, and vast expanses of the void were instantly turned to dust.

But there was no one to stop the fight.

...

At the same time, in the Demon Pool billions of miles away, a body slowly condensed, the contingency Xuanqing had earlier left in preparation.

An incarnation is nothing more than that; as long as there’s Undying Spirit Light and sufficient resources, he can always recondense using the original material in the Demon Realm.

"Still, being in a male body feels more comfortable!"

This time, his physical body was destroyed, and he directly formed a male body, but due to the nature of the origin, he still retained a trace of the Power of Taiyin inside him.

That was the essence of the "Moon Búi Star."

Seeing oneself from a female perspective was indeed interesting, but Xuanqing felt as if he were shackled, unable to unleash his full strength.

After reconstructing his physical body, his strength in this incarnation fell back to the early stages of Daluo, requiring a massive amount of resources to recover.

However, the Demon Realm lacked nothing but demons and essence of flesh and blood; with some techniques, he could quickly return to his peak state.

But as he reformed his physical body, he found something extra in his sea of consciousness.

"It’s the ’Old Mother Rescue Calamity Scripture’!"

Xuanqing’s brows furrowed slightly; he sensed a trace of spiritual intelligence in this scripture.

"I’ve seen demon beasts transform, Spiritual Treasures transform, Spirit Roots transform... Could this scripture possibly transform as well?"

In a daze, it seemed as if he heard a Divine proclaiming scriptures: "The Mother of the Non-born, the homeland of emptiness!"

"Is this cultivation technique truly imbued with spirit?"

Xuanqing felt a sensation of chilling horror.

For he discovered that at this moment, the "Scripture of the Saving from Calamity by the Old Mother" had more content than when the Mother of the Non-born had first transmitted it to him.

Those contents were his understanding of the Creation Skill, but now they were directly absorbed by the scripture, serving as the nourishment for its further transformation.

"My cultivation of the Refining Dao is to use the false to cultivate the true, while this scripture uses people to cultivate the technique!" Seeing this, Xuanqing couldn’t help but exclaim: "Anything is possible, the world is truly full of wonders!"

This incarnation of his had died once, yet its accumulated enlightenment had contributed to the complete formation of this scripture, which made him admire the Holy Saint’s methods.

"A scripture that transmits the technique and Divine Skills that impart spirit, this is indeed a path never before seen!"

"The Daoist Ancestor uses Immortal Dao cultivators as nourishment, the Demon Ancestor uses Demon Cultivators as nourishment, and my revered old mother isn’t someone simple either!"

While lamenting, Xuanqing delved into the mysteries of this method. If he could master it, by spreading his cultivation techniques, couldn’t he let countless cultivators help build and refine it?

"Crowdfunding for immortal cultivation, this holds much promise!"

As a disciple of the Jie Sect, and the human race’s Emperor Shennong, as well as the ancestor of ghost immortals and divine immortals, if he wanted to propagate his teachings, naturally, innumerable cultivators would follow.

However, this method of instilling spirit into scriptures was beyond his understanding of the Creation Skill; he was clueless about it for the moment.

"Should I ask the Holy Mother for advice?"

Xuanqing quickly shook his head, "No, wouldn’t it reveal my dark history?"

This scripture was passed from the Mother of the Non-born to the Moon God. If he went to ask Nuwa, wouldn’t he be admitting he was the Moon God?

"Better to figure it out myself!"

After thinking it over, Xuanqing decided to keep this demon incarnation low profile for a while, while allowing it to explore the so-called crowdfunding path of immortal cultivation.

...

Primordial.

The memories of the Demon Realm incarnation synchronously returned to Xuanqing’s own mind, and his eyes flickered with a peculiarly mysterious Creation Divine Light.

"This Divine Skill is indeed impressive. With my current strength, as long as there is no protective Spiritual Treasure, no one below a Saint should be able to withstand it!"

The incarnation had mastered the "Mother-child Creation Divine Light," and naturally, the original self had as well. However, thinking of the terrifying scene of high-end Divine Beings becoming pregnant because of this technique, he decided never to use it lightly.

During this period, he also exchanged insights with Daoist Duobao, learning that his incarnation had been taken in by Demon Buddha Bhusunda, and was now studying the Demon Buddha Dao.

"The Path of Immortal Dao is Dao, the Demon Path is Dao, and Buddhism originally is Dao, all great paths eventually converge. The Divine Skills of Buddhism also have their merits!"

Listening to Daoist Duobao’s exposition, he benefited greatly, even thinking about maybe using an alias to explore the potential of achieving a Buddha status in a future Buddhist Sect.

"By the way, junior brother!"

Daoist Duobao slowly began, "I heard from Demon Buddha Bhusunda that in the Demon Realm, a pervert has developed a Divine Skill that can make people pregnant. Be careful with your incarnation in the Demon Realm!"

"Certainly!"

Grinning slightly, Xuanqing responded, "Don’t worry! I won’t fall for it! I’m always careful; how could a mere Divine Skill harm me?"

After all, that Divine Skill was researched by his own demon incarnation—he was the very pervert Daoist Duobao mentioned. How could his own developed skill harm himself?

Then, he visited the Heavenly Court to understand the recent situation. A great cycle had passed, and the person currently in rotation as the Heavenly Emperor had now become Shennong.

As for Hao Tian, he was still undergoing a series of reincarnations, with no news for now.

The Turquoise Pool had not returned to the Heavenly Court either.

However, the Witch Clan, due to a previous betrayal by Li Tan, which unilaterally decided the matter of the Human Emperor’s succession, was now preparing to forge a marriage alliance with the next common ruler of the human race.

Yes!

A marriage alliance!

Since you of the Phoenix Clan could strengthen your ties with the human race through marriage with the Earth Emperor, why shouldn’t the Witch Clan marry into the human race?

After all, Warlord Li Tan, the first witch from Primordial times, was the product of a human-witch union.

The Witch Clan, showing more sincerity than the Phoenix Clan, not only proactively offered a Spiritual Treasure, but after communicating with the current Human Emperor Xuanyuan—Xuanyuan’s grandfather—they planned to have Great Witch Jiufeng marry Xuanyuan.

Great Witch Jiufeng, the sister of Ancestor Witch Qiang Liang and highly valued by Houtu, was chosen for the marriage, unequivocally demonstrating the Witch Clan’s sincerity.

However...

Xuanqing’s brow slightly furrowed: "With Jiufeng’s temper, Xuanyuan can only hope for the best!"

Having interacted quite a bit with Jiufeng, their initial meeting marked by her throwing a punch at him, he was well aware that her petite physical body harbored strength capable of tearing through the void and shattering the Great Thousand Worlds.

Fu Xi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan had led the human race to a new epoch. The current Xuanyuan had not yet found his own path.

Under the tutelage of True Man Yu Ding, Xuanyuan had now reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

According to Xuanyuan, it was intended that Xuanyuan would break through to Daluo Golden Immortal before marrying Jiufeng, otherwise their statuses and strengths wouldn’t match.

The Witch Clan naturally had no objections.

But the Phoenix Clan, among others, had some reservations, as True Man Yu Ding taking Xuanyuan as a disciple undoubtedly indicated his potential to become the Human Emperor.

They did not want to miss this opportunity.

However, with the Witch Clan pre-emptively offering the "Sky Ascending Sword" and "Shadow Painting Sword" as part of Jiufeng’s dowry, both of which were high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Moreover, with Earth Emperor Houtu and Human Emperor Xuanyuan personally setting the marriage, they could only suppress their qualms.

The weather was clear, and the atmosphere serene; a perfect match, everything seemed too good. Yet inexplicably, Xuanqing felt a twinge of unease.

He quickly activated the "Innate Eight Diagrams" and the "Dao Yi Seal," and began seriously calculating.
