567: Chapter 471: Haotian and Yaochi Completely Fall into Demonhood_2 567: Chapter 471: Haotian and Yaochi Completely Fall into Demonhood_2 In the Three Realms, with no Saints emerging, Quasi-Saints have reached the ultimate pinnacle.
Without formidable strength and admirable virtue, who could hope to become a leader?
Isn’t that a joke?
“We would heed the Order of Law.”
“With this, our Three Realms may finally have some hope.”
Atop a dormant volcano in Beiju Luzhou, the Phoenix held an Order of Law, expressing satisfaction.
The Three Realms had temporarily found unity under a leader, that leader being Wang Yang.
As for the two Daoist boys formerly under Hongjun, Haotian and Yaochi.
Everyone seemed to have collectively forgotten them, as no one inquired nor mentioned them.
The once illustrious Lord of the celestial Court had turned to join the Demon Clan, a fact that the Quasi-Saints, and even ordinary cultivators, found contemptible.
While the Quasi-Saints of the Three Realms were receiving the Order of Law, Ksitigarbha had already come out from the Extreme North Land.
A streak of black light shot across the sky of Beiju Luzhou, flying over the heads of six Quasi-Saints, with not one able to detect it.
His destination was Mount Meru in Western Cow Hezhou, where resided another member of the Demon Clan.
“Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha, what brings you here this time?”
Wu Tian personally greeted him outside Mount Meru.
He was well aware of Ksitigarbha’s recent actions and any feelings of discontent had long since dissipated.
There was no help for it, circumstances outweighed personal feelings.
After all, the person before him was capable of slaying Quasi-Saints.
“I am here to discuss matters of great importance to the Demon Clan with you, fellow Daoist.”
Ksitigarbha’s expression was serious, and what he was truly thinking remained a mystery.
“Please!”
Wu Tian certainly had no objections to what Ksitigarbha said.
They shared a common goal: to revitalize the Demon Clan.
Otherwise, he couldn’t stay at Mount Meru for long.
Wu Tian led Ksitigarbha into the Great Hero Treasure Hall.
The Great Hero Treasure Hall of Mount Meru had become his dojo, devoid of Buddha’s light, permeated only by Demonic Qi.
Simultaneously, Wu Tian also called forth Haotian and Yaochi, who were at Mount Meru.
With their identities exposed, they naturally could no longer stay at the celestial Court.
Ghost Car and Buddha of Bright Virtue and Ocean stood in attendance on either side.
Almost instantly, six Quasi-Saints emerged from Mount Meru, solely to welcome Ksitigarbha.
“Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha, the Demon Clan has schemed within the Three Realms for many years and has only now resurfaced unified.”
“Nevertheless, besides my occupation of Mount Meru in Western Cow Hezhou,”
“the grand army of the Dark Demon Realm has positioned its troops to the south of Southern Continent Jambudvipa.”
“Some time has passed, yet no further instructions have been given.”
Presumptively taking the seat of honor, Wu Tian remained the host here.
He did not concede his dignity due to Ksitigarbha’s power.
However, Ksitigarbha paid no mind to these matters.
He took the first seat to Wu Tian’s left, observing the assembly atop Mount Meru.
“The Demon Clan has languished within the Dark Demon Realm for countless years, merely biding our time to once again assault the Three Realms.”
“Now, the Demon Clan alone possesses eleven Quasi-Saints, conquering half of the Three Realms is a trifling matter.”
Ksitigarbha looked at Wu Tian, his face holding a faint smile from the beginning to the end.
However, due to the Demonic Qi, his smile seemed somewhat sinister and frightening.
“We await only the Demon Ancestor’s descent to entangle Hongjun, and then the entirety of the Three Realms shall fall into our hands, and the Demon Clan will once again flourish as it did in the Primordial Continent!”
“Fellow Daoist Ksitigarbha, our Demon Clan is ready.
Why then does the Demon Ancestor delay his arrival?
If we give them more time, they might even conquer Mount Meru!”
Wu Tian wasn’t duped by Ksitigarbha’s enchanting talk.
In truth, he had never fully trusted the Demon Ancestor from the beginning.
The Demon Clan was thriving in the Dark Demon Realm; at most, they desired a calamity to secure a place for the Demon Clan in the Three Realms.
As for dominating the Three Realms, Wu Tian genuinely hadn’t contemplated that initially.
Let alone Daoist Ancestor Hongjun and the six Saints, with so many Quasi-Saints in the Three Realms, including the extraordinary Wang Yang, who would dare attempt to conquer the Three Realms without double the number of Quasi-Saints?
Now, having possession of a Mount Meru was only possible because of their moment of division and a temporary alliance with the Cutting Teachings Sect, winning the battle against Various Sects.
Wu Tian wondered what Elder Jiang was thinking to agree to team up with forces Beyond the Heavens to assault the Three Realms together.
“The Demon Ancestor cannot come for the time being, and moreover, the Three Realms have already started rejecting anything beyond the heavens, and the four Demon Kings under my command have all had half of their strength sealed by the Heavenly Dao.”
“However, the only silver lining is that the Three Realms also forbid the presence of a Saint’s power.”
“With our strength, we can completely dominate within the Three Realms.”
Ksitigarbha’s face gradually regained calmness, betraying not a single thought in his mind.
“The Demon Ancestor and Hongjun arranged a three hundred year truce; this period of time is their last chance, and simultaneously, our chance as well.”
“How so?”
Wu Tian inquired.
“After three hundred years, the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms will collapse, the Great Dao will be missing, and there will be no opportunity to Achieve Saintliness.”
Ksitigarbha spoke indifferently.
“No chance of Achieving Saintliness?
Doesn’t that mean that when that day really comes, our strength will be set in stone?”
“What’s more, now that the Heavenly Dao already forbids the appearance of Saints, doesn’t that mean we have no hope of Achieving Saintliness in this lifetime?”
Haotian sneered, they were all Quasi-Saints, and if there was not the slightest hope of Achieving Saintliness, what was the point in continuing their Cultivation Practice?
The reason they chose to join the Demon Clan in the beginning was to advance further!
A step further in terms of power, and a step further in terms of Cultivation Level!
“What I’m saying is that they will have no chance of Achieving Saintliness.”
“But our Demon Clan need not rely on their methods to Achieve Saintliness!”
Ksitigarbha said with a smile, as the Demon Clan is named ‘demon’ precisely because they have their unique cultivation system.
“By the time the Heavenly Dao collapses, who knows how many origins will become fragments.”
“And those are our chances to Achieve Saintliness!”
“As long as we can absorb enough Origin of the Great Dao, even a Great Luo can instantly Achieve Saintliness!”
Wu Tian nodded vigorously, agreeing with Ksitigarbha’s statement.
Over the long years, the physical structure of the Demon Clan had already undergone changes.
Though the Dark Demon Realm is part of the Three Realms, it doesn’t sense much of the Power of the Great Dao, mostly it is the unique Abyss of Darkness power of the Dark Demon Realm.
If the Three Realms collapse and the Heavenly Dao shatters, countless fragments of the Origin of the Great Dao will break apart, and the Fifty Great Dao will return to the Void, they could take this opportunity to absorb these origins and accelerate their Cultivation Practice.
“All the talking boils down to the fact that your Demon Clan has a unique advantage.
There is no benefit for me and the Haotian Yaochi!”
Haotian’s face looked terrible, as he had come to realize, after all the hassle, he and the Haotian Yaochi stood to gain nothing.
If that was the case, he should have stayed loyally at the celestial Court instead of choosing to change sides.
“Enter the Abyss of Darkness, where you can completely transform into a member of the Demon Clan!”
Ksitigarbha didn’t even blink as he said this to Haotian.
At the same time, he turned to Ghost Car and the Buddha of Bright Virtue and Ocean, saying, “You both should go as well, only by becoming true members of the Demon Clan can you enjoy the final fruits!”
Upon hearing this, Ghost Car and the Buddha of Bright Virtue and Ocean were overjoyed.
Unlike Haotian, who was more like a partner with the Demon Clan, they had completely submitted to the Demon Clan.
Now faced with such an opportunity, they had no reason to refuse.
Only Haotian and the Haotian Yaochi remained hesitant since becoming completely demonized meant there would be no turning back.
“The two of you may not know yet, but a clone of Hongjun has descended to the lower realm and has spread an Order of Law across the Three Realms that all Quasi-Saints have received.”
“However, since the two of you are currently in Mount Meru, I’m afraid Daoist Ancestor Hongjun didn’t send the Order of Law to you, did he?”
Seeing Haotian’s hesitation, Ksitigarbha added more fuel to the fire: “This suggests that in Hongjun’s eyes, you are already regarded as members of the Demon Clan.”
“Is that true?”
The Haotian Yaochi was somewhat incredulous.
“Of course, if you do not believe it, you are welcome to verify it within the Three Realms.”
“Hongjun asked all the Quasi-Saints of the Three Realms to gather on Golden Turtle Island, yet he did not notify you two.
What does that imply?
Do I need to spell it out?”
Ksitigarbha said smiling, without concern that they would doubt him, because what he said was, after all, the truth.
One could say that with this move, Hongjun had pushed Haotian and the Haotian Yaochi completely to their side.
“Since that’s the case, I am willing to go to the Dark Demon Realm!”
Haotian was the first to speak, lifting his head with all the hesitation and doubt in his eyes gone, replaced only by determination.
