Chapter 415: 323 Chapter [Inverting Black and White, Only Killing Without Saving] (Request for Subscription)

A surge of demonic intention erupted from Nezha’s body, with endless demonic flames sweeping across the vault of heaven.

He has succumbed to the demon!

After succumbing to the demon, Nezha’s power surged severalfold. With a single blow, he sent Yang Jian flying, and the terrifying demonic flames incinerated all things in heaven and earth!

"This is troublesome!"

Yang Jian watched this scene and secretly felt uneasy. The other Chan Sect disciples mostly operated individually, only he and Nezha were together.

As for the reason...

It has to do with Nezha’s origins!

In past years, the "Primordial Pearl" within Lady Nuwa’s palace gained spiritual intelligence and was cast into the Primordial. Yuanshi Tianzun then exerted great magical power to divide it into the "Spiritual Pearl" and the "Demon Pill," assigning Shen Gongbao and Taiyi True Master of the Chan Sect to respectively take these two beings as disciples.

The "Spiritual Pearl" was the Ao Bing mentioned by Nezha before, while the "Demon Pill" is precisely the god of slaughter with raging demonic flames, Nezha!

As the transformation of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, Nezha was naturally endowed with certain Daluo characteristics. His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and with the meticulous guidance of Taiyi True Master, he achieved the Daluo Realm in under five great kalpas of time.

Now, being eroded by the "Primordial Demon Qi," he has pushed his potential to the limit.

With the many Innate Spiritual Treasures he possesses, even those at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal level might not be his match now!

Yang Jian is no exception!

In fact, under normal circumstances, Yang Jian’s strength surpasses Nezha’s!

Otherwise, Taiyi True Master wouldn’t have specially asked Yang Jian to watch over Nezha!

Due to the origins of the "Demon Pill," Nezha naturally harbors demonic intention within him. Ordinarily, the power of the Jade Void Immortal Technique is sufficient to suppress it, but now, it’s the calamity of the Five Turbid Evil World!

At this moment, faced with the demonized Nezha, Yang Jian was equally troubled but still attempted to temporarily subdue him using the Jade Void Immortal Technique.

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle!

Meanwhile, the figure manipulated by Luo Hou was recording all this with a "Memory Stone."

He sneered, "If those foolish mortals find out that the always upright Chan Sect also has someone like Nezha cultivating the Demon Path, will they continue to revere the Chan Sect?"

In recent years, although many within the Three Taoist Sects have fallen into the Demon Path, those individuals are mostly mediocre in power.

But Nezha, a third-generation direct disciple of Chan Sect, inheritor of Taiyi True Master’s teachings, was even conferred as the "Great God of the Three Altars Sea Assembly" due to his merit in eradicating demons during Nanji Daoist’s tenure as the Heavenly Emperor!

He is decidedly the face of the Chan Sect!

Moreover, due to the Twelve Golden Immortals being reclusive, Nezha’s reputation among mortals is greater than that of several Quasi-Saints of the Chan Sect.

The "Great God of the Three Altars Sea Assembly," famed for subduing demons, falling into the Demon Path in plain view, is more effective than any rumor!

"What a pity!"

Luo Hou’s consciousness showed a trace of regret: "Yuanshi Tianzun, to prevent anything unforeseen, didn’t let that damned Heavenly Demon leave Kunlun!"

"And Tongtian Sect Master also has that Sword Demon Shang Chen cultivating on Golden Turtle Island."

"Even if I wanted to scheme against them, there was no suitable opportunity... Otherwise, letting the beings of Primordial know there are two great demons under the Heavenly Dao Saints they revere would be entertaining!"

"However..."

"To disturb people’s hearts and dismantle the Chan Sect’s glorious image, it’s enough for Nezha to succumb to the demon!"

After recording the scene of Nezha succumbing to the demon, the being controlled by Luo Hou’s demon seed immediately spread the footage captured by the Memory Stone.

In the same world, Taiyi True Master, cultivating on Qianyuan Mountain, also sensed Nezha’s anomaly and immediately rushed to their location.

"Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield!"

As a Quasi-Saint power, Taiyi True Master naturally wouldn’t fear the demonized Nezha; just activating his Magic Treasure was enough to suppress him.

But after suppressing Nezha, there wasn’t even a hint of joy on his face.

Because on his way there, he saw beings using inexplicable means to spread the images of Nezha succumbing to the demon in the Primordial World!

If this matter isn’t handled well, it will adversely affect the reputation of the Chan Sect, the Heavenly Court, the Taoist, and Yuanshi Tianzun!

"Uncle-Master Taiyi!"

Seeing Taiyi True Master take action, Yang Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, with his strength, he really had no way to subdue the demonized Nezha.

"Hmm!"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi True Master sighed helplessly: "Yang Jian, you should return to Kunlun first! I will go and ask a Saint to intervene, to dissolve the demonic qi within Nezha, as for those rumors..."

He paused and then said to Yang Jian: "I will personally explain to Senior Brother Guang Chengzi later and try my best to minimize the impact of this incident!"

This situation left him helpless, and he temporarily did not know how to handle it.

"Yes!"

Yang Jian nodded immediately, but his face was filled with deep concern.

Behind Nezha’s demonization, there must be Luo Hou’s schemes; otherwise, why would Taiyi True Master, a Great Divine Ability who had severed two corpses, need to ask a Saint to expel Nezha’s demonic qi? frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

As the first disciple of the third generation of the Chan Sect, Yang Jian was naturally no fool. From Taiyi True Master’s actions, he deduced the seriousness of the matter!

...

Mount Tai.

Although Taiyi True Master said he would ask a Saint for help, he did not go to the Ancient Starry Sky to seek Jin Ling Saint Mother, nor did he return to Kunlun to find Taiyuan Saint Mother. Instead, he went directly to the Netherworld, hoping for the assistance of Xuanqing’s avatar.

Learning from the past.

Ever since the collapse of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, all the Saints paid special attention to the Underworld. Last time, when Luo Hou’s avatar invaded the Primordial World, Pingxin went to stop him, and Xuanqing’s avatar did not move, fearing that Luo Hou was setting up a feint to lure them away!

The Heavenly Court, the Underworld, the Undying Volcano, and the Returning Ruins—all of which could affect the stability of the Primordial World—had contingency plans left by the Saints.

Xuanqing’s Ghost Dao Avatar and Divine Dao Avatar were responsible for the Underworld and the Undying Volcano, respectively.

Taiyi True Master took out the "Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield," showing a trace of supplication: "Daoist Xuanqing, I ask you to expel the demonic qi from my disciple!"

"This Luo Hou is indeed restless, but I must admit, he played his move well!" Xuanqing’s Ghost Dao Avatar shook his head and said, "Nezha was originally formed from the Demon Pill. I can dispel Luo Hou’s demonic qi, but I cannot eradicate the demonic nature inherently contained within the Demon Pill!"

"Without the balance of yin and yang, nothing can grow. Second Senior Brother split the Primordial Pearl into two, which purified the Great Daos of Nezha and Ao Bing and allowed them to progress rapidly, but it left a hidden danger!"

"With Nezha’s realm advancing too quickly, the consequence is a flawed mind and lack of firm will, making him extremely susceptible to murderous intent and demonic thoughts. Otherwise... he wouldn’t have been so easily manipulated by the Primordial Demon Qi and fallen into the Demon Path under everyone’s eyes!"

Nezha achieved Daluo in five Yagnis, nearly twice as fast as Xuanqing, although this was partly due to Nezha being formed from an Innate Spiritual Treasure with inherent Daluo characteristics... However, the cost of rapid cultivation was a lack of mental fortitude equivalent to his cultivation!

"What can be done?"

Taiyi True Master was deeply worried, watching Xuanqing exorcise the "Primordial Demon Qi," and sighed, "This is indeed negligence on my part as a teacher! But Nezha’s nature is good! And should today’s events be known, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t wash the stain away!"

Since the Five Turbid Evil World descended, various unauthorized histories were spread by the Saints, and most beings in the Primordial did not have a clear understanding, blindly accepting what they saw and heard.

They do not care about what Nezha has done or what feats he accomplished, they only see a direct disciple of the Chan Sect falling into the Demon Path.

Xuanqing’s Ghost Dao Avatar smiled upon hearing this: "If Taiyi Daoist trusts this poor Daoist, why not temporarily leave Nezha with me, and as for those rumors, leave them to Daoist Shen Gongbao!"

Shen Gongbao’s mouth is capable of turning black into white and white into black, not utilizing him for public relations is truly a waste of talent!

Moreover, even if Shen Gongbao can’t handle it, Xuanqing has a second plan!

The human heart is complex!

He once discussed Buddhist theories with Jieyin Daoist and Zhunti Daoist; for an evil person to become a Buddha, he only needs to lay down his butcher’s knife. However, for a good person to become a Buddha, if he makes one wrongful act, even if unintentional, even if he has done a thousand good deeds before, his previous efforts are wasted!

This flaw of Buddhist teachings!

But in the context of the Three Taoist Sects and among the beings of the Primordial World, this principle also applies!

If so, why not first do "evil", using killing to stop killing, instilling fear into the cultivators of the Primordial World, then have Nezha repent and return to the right path?

Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. Since ordinary methods of enlightenment are ineffective, then use absolute strength to suppress everything.

A figure who has fallen into the Demon Path, one who kills without educating, is perfect for this task!

After all, Luo Hou can take the blame!
