Chapter 169: Chapter 106 The Origin of the Door of Ten Thousand Differences_2

All the eyes turned to the canary in the room were somewhat different now.

When they first saw her, they thought that the canary was only a child of the Blood Master, but now it seems that the relationship is not ordinary.

The way they looked at the canary had also begun to try to curry favor.

Upon hearing this, a blush crept up on the snow-like face of the canary.

She still understood what embarrassment was.

...

Twenty earth-shattering years had gone by since Qi Yuan first preached.

The Trapping Demon Technique began to spread in the human world.

Every day, a large number of practitioners would make a pilgrimage to the Nine-Plate Mountain.

The Nine-Plate Mountain had become a holy place in the Flowing Wind Realm.

People all said that on Nine-Plate Mountain, there was a divine figure named the Blood Master.

The Blood Master, emerging from the Chaos, preached on Nine-Plate Mountain for forty-nine days, founded the Trapping Demon Technique, and temporarily suppressed all the heart demons.

As long as they practiced the Trapping Demon Technique, they would not, like in the past, suddenly spawn heart demons and have demonic calamity bursting from their bodies for no reason.

This act saved the world.

You have to understand that, in the past, among humans and demon clans, one in a hundred could survive from birth to maturity. And it can be said that almost none could live until they died of old age.

When this technique appeared, the numbers of humans and demon clans significantly increased.

Some people had said that the Blood Master was similar to sages, and then some suggested that the Blood Master should be a saint of humans and demons!

Qi Yuan directly refused.

He was unworthy of being called a sage.

And being a saint to humans and demons was something he did not want to be at all.

One day, Qi Yuan stood at the top of Nine-Plate Mountain, where he originally arrived.

Now, Qi Yuan’s understanding of the Door of Flux has grown deeper and deeper.

What a pity it was that he could no longer get any closer to the Door of Flux, which was several hundreds of feet away from him.

He was afraid that if he tried to approach it, he would evaporate.

And if he tried to get into it...

Qi Yuan’s understanding of the origin would certainly become far deeper.

At this moment, Qi Yuan, in blood-red long robes, stood on top of the peak.

Below him were five men and women, releasing terrifying auras.

These five were among the initial group of twenty-seven who stayed in Nine-Plate Mountain.

"Blood Master, The Trapping Demon Technique has spread across eleven continents of the Flowing Wind Realm, and it is expected to spread throughout the world within a hundred years." said the taciturn man with a worried look on his face, "In recent years, the spread of The Trapping Demon Technique has slowed down, it seems like someone is trying to hinder its progress."

The taciturn man, known as the Foolish Daoist, was the leader of the twenty-seven people.

The other four people descended into gloom upon hearing this.

The propagation of the Trapping Demon Technique was a great support for the Flowing Wind Realm. Those who tried to obstruct it angered them and were simply incomprehensible.

"Who dares to hinder the progress of the Trapping Demon Technique, I’ll split them in half with my axe!" The burly man was hot-tempered.

A few times in the past, the demonic calamity in his body almost broke out, and he was on the verge of death.

Fortunately, he practiced the Trapping Demon Technique, and that situation never occurred.

However... his temper had become much larger.

"Let’s not discuss this." Qi Yuan did not care. He turned to Monk Bai Ze and Yanran with a smile, "How is the investigation of the Door of Flux going?"

For these twenty-seven people, as well as those who followed Qi Yuan later, Qi Yuan didn’t mind explaining The Path of the Human Demon and the Trapping Demon Technique to them from time to time.

Every guidance led these people to gain a lot of insights and reap great benefits, and their reverence for Qi Yuan grew even more.

Of course, Qi Yuan didn’t just give without taking anything—he also made these people collect some useful information for him.

Monk Bai Ze and Yanran were sent to investigate the Door of Flux.

Yanran who had transformed into a white fox stepped forward, "Blood Master, the origins of the Door of Flux seem to have something to do with ancient gods."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan became aroused, "Go on."

The white fox Yanran continued, "Rumour has it that, during the ancient times, a great demon known as Buddha existed in the Flowing Wind Realm."

"Buddha?" Qi Yuan was surprised.

That name was not to be used lightly.

"According to records, Buddha was a celestial deity who came down and entered the mortal realm to train, crossed the ten thousand trials of the mortal world, and then could return to the realm of celestial deities.

However, at that time, when the Buddha went to the Rakshasa City, he met a woman who changed his destiny.

Upon first meeting her, he was moved by worldly desires, considering the woman as a lifetime destiny.

That woman was the daughter of a great demon, besieged by righteous powers.

The Buddha stepped forward to save her, through which their fate was sealed, falling deeply in love." Yanran spoke, a trace of regret in her eyes, "If you ask me, the Buddha shouldn’t have saved that demoness, and none of this would have happened!"

Bai Ze then said: "What wrong has that woman done? Is she to be besieged by the righteous simply because she was born into the Demon Path?"

Yanran rolled her eyes at her husband, Bai Ze, who was symbolic of luck and who naturally had a merciful heart.

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment.

What Yanran said reminded him of some Xianxia TV shows.

"Did that Buddha destroy the world for the sake of that woman?"

Being willing to become an enemy of the world for the sake of your loved one seems to be a mainstream idea.

"Not exactly." Yanran said with a smile on her face, "In the end, faced with a choice between the world’s common people and the demoness, the Buddha chose the common people, and the demoness died."

She was obviously very satisfied with this outcome.

Bai Ze murmured: "This world, how could it be borne by a single weak woman."

"Then what happened?" Qi Yuan was more interested in the Trapping Demon Technique than in the love story of the Buddha and the demoness.

"It is a pity that the Buddha’s spirit was not firm enough. The death of the demoness left some cracks in the heart of his mortal training.

His act of saving the lives of ordinary people ultimately led to the demoness’s death, spreading rumors that he was a hypocritical and heartless being who used the untainted demoness to enhance his own fame, with her as a mere stepping stone.

The Buddha sat motionless in front of the demoness’s grave for three hundred days, finally descending into madness, falling into the Demon Path, and becoming a great demon."

Yanran said with a sarcastic smile on her face: "People fear power more than virtue. In my opinion, if the Buddha had killed all those who had slandered him behind his back, none of this mess would have happened."

Bai Ze sighed, "Killing won’t solve the problem."

"So how does this relate to the Gate of Varieties?" Qi Yuan asked.

In the end, love and affection would lead to the destruction of the world.

"The Buddha turned into a demon and his thoughts turned into a Heart Demon, which also triggered the Heart Demon calamity. From then on, there would be demons in everyone’s hearts, and each harboring any of the three poisons - greed, anger, and ignorance - would manifest their Heart Demon." Yanran explained without any further personal commentary, "The Heart Demon spreads mysteriousness among human hearts, closing off the doors to the adjacent major realms of the Windy Realm.

The Windy Realm has since become an isolated realm, but the endless Heart Demons have ultimately summoned, or rather created, a copy of the Gate of Varieties from myth and legend.

In the Gate of Varieties of myth and legend, there are endless Heart Demons. Even gods and immortals would fall into depravity once they entered.

Legend has it that only by opening the true Gate of Varieties can the Heart Demon be completely dispelled."

To open the gate and to enter it did not conflict at this moment.

"The endless Heart Demons created a copy of the Gate of Varieties?" Qi Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Doesn’t that mean that the Gate of Varieties tastes delicious, full of experience points?

He looked up at the Gate of Varieties, filled with greed. He really wanted to go up and take a bite, taste its flavor.

He was puzzled as to why there was no Gate of Varieties during the North-South Final.

Could it be that the Gate of Varieties was eaten by someone?

If that was the case, it would be unforgivable.

...

"I’m back?" Qi Yuan looked at the surroundings of the City of No Return and a scene flashed through his mind.

This time, sensing the essence, he had meditated for a full 120 years.

The greatest gain was the Human Demon Path, and the Trapping Demon Technique.

"So, the appearance of demons in human sleep is caused by me?" Qi Yuan wondered, "If I go back to the past, can I change reality? It really doesn’t hold up under scrutiny... ah, I need to use my brain more and stop overthinking."

Qi Yuan stopped thinking about it.

It’s just a game after all.

As long as he enjoys playing it and leaves no regrets, it’s fine.

Qi Yuan remembered his neighbor, the canary.

"I wonder when I will see her again?"

"At level 120?"

"Or... has she already faded into the flux of time?"

"Too bad, without sensing the essence, one can’t even glimpse the secrets of reincarnation."

"After level 120, I hope to be able to enter the gate of the Gate of Varieties."

This time before he left, Qi Yuan had already hinted to the canary.

Presumably, she could better accept this reality as well.
