Chapter 1414: The Profound Profound Demon Lord Preparing for a Protracted War

“Establishing a sect, what does it mean?”

Lu Zheng was quite curious and asked, “Has he openly taught magic already? How could Celestial Sword Mountain not notice at all?”

Although Celestial Sword Mountain is named for the sword, emphasizing the way of Flying Sword slaughter, it doesn’t mean that everyone on the mountain is a bunch of brutes.

On the contrary, the disciples of Celestial Sword Mountain, besides the sect’s own cultivation techniques, highly value Confucian classics, cultivating Qi and spirit, and keeping the heart within the sword sheath.

The disciples of Celestial Sword Mountain, when not drawing their swords, seem like scholars and Confucian gentlemen, often walking the world and experiencing its hardships.

Therefore, Lu Zheng found it hard to imagine that the Profound Profound Demon Lord had already established a demonic sect right under the eyes of Celestial Sword Mountain, widely recruiting followers.

“How could it be possible? Even that Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor set up a small Demon Realm in the Southern Border and was chased by a group of mountain bandits with swords. If the Profound Profound Demon Lord dared to be so bold in Linxi Dao, he would have been slashed by Divine Monarch Hui Jian already,” said Master Qing Song.

Without waiting for Lu Zheng to ask further questions, without keeping anything in suspense, Master Qing Song said, “He disguised himself as a Daoist True Man and established a Daoist temple.”

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded, “Daoist temple?”

Even Si Lingxi and Shen Ying couldn’t help but turn around, surprised that the Profound Profound Demon Lord had such a move.

“Daoist temple!”

Master Qing Song nodded, “He established a Yuzhen Temple in Yazhou, Linxi Dao, calling himself Profound Jade Daoist, establishing his sect, and widely recruiting followers.”

“And then what? Teaching Daoist techniques?” Lu Zheng couldn’t help asking.

“Yes, teaching Daoist techniques.”

Master Qing Song nodded, “A Daoist technique named ‘Profound Celestial Jade True Longevity Technique’.”

Lu Zheng’s eyes flashed, immediately understanding and asked, “Demonic essence within the Dao?”

“Precisely, demonic essence within the Dao.”

Master Qing Song said, “That cultivation technique appears to be a Daoist technique, but it is actually demon in essence hidden within. The higher the cultivation, the deeper the demonic influence.”

“Well, that’s bold!”

Lu Zheng clicked his tongue, “How many disciples has this Yuzhen Temple recruited?”

Master Qing Song said solemnly, “Eight hundred disciples with significant cultivation, but…”

Seeing Master Qing Song’s expression was not right, Lu Zheng blinked and tentatively asked, “But what?”

“But, he has also spread the cultivation technique widely among the common people, affecting five provinces and thirty-two counties in Linxi Dao, involving millions of commoners.”

Lu Zheng’s eyes widened, “Millions! Have they all become possessed?”

“How could it be possible!” Master Qing Song was speechless, “But such a demonic cultivation technique, seemingly like a ‘Child’s Enlightenment,’ has been distributed. Who knows how many commoners think it’s a treasure that can defy fate, passed down from generation to generation, and occasionally a demon will emerge.”

Master Qing Song sighed, “Linxi Dao will be in chaos in the future.”

Lu Zheng, upon hearing this, was also helpless.

Cultivation techniques have very high thresholds, always rare and precious. If a commoner inadvertently obtains one, it must be cherished and kept secret, passed down through generations.

In fact, many lost techniques might still be hidden in some corner, occasionally producing an inexplicable master carrying a technique that’s been lost for hundreds or thousands of years.

The Xuanmen Orthodox Sect is like this, so are the peripheral paths and left-hand ways, and naturally, the heretic ways are like this too.

The previous Fallen Celestial Demons were eradicated, yet their legacy techniques sometimes were missed, and after a hundred years or so, a demon inadvertently cultivating successfully would emerge to plague the world, forming a minor demon tribulation.

However, those passed down cultivation techniques are always limited, and the number of emerging demons is generally controllable. Moreover, the demonic cultivation techniques themselves appear very evil, making ordinary people hesitant to cultivate them.

No one expected the Profound Profound Demon Lord to create a “demonic essence within the Dao,” making commoners believe they hold an authentic Daoist inheritance.

Well, if one cannot cultivate, save it for the next generation, and before long, out comes a demon ravaging the world.

And the number is not just one or two, nor ten or eight, but thousands and thousands.

“What does the ancestor plan to do?” Lu Zheng asked.

“What else can be done, try to confiscate them,” Master Qing Song sighed, “Have the Court step in, declaring Yuzhen Temple as heretic, claiming the techniques are harmful, collect as many as possible.”

“Luckily, it was discovered early,” Master Qing Song said, “After learning this situation, Celestial Sword Mountain was shocked, deeply appreciated the ancestor, acknowledged our White Cloud Temple’s grand favor, and even promised to host a banquet in your and Sect Leader Si’s honor when you ascend the mountain!”

Lu Zheng said helplessly, “Is this considered early discovery?”

“Of course it is early discovery; the common people are timid, with the Court stepping in, most can still be confiscated, and the remaining harming range won’t be too large. If it hadn’t been discovered early and those eight hundred demons spread the techniques widely, it would be a huge problem,” Master Qing Song said.

Lu Zheng was also helpless, shaking his head.

Strictly speaking, the Profound Profound Demon Lord’s method, the short-term harm is weaker than the Dark Sun Demon Venerable and Yuan Ya Old Demon, but it wins in the long run, continuously bleeding the world.

As a result, waiting for the right moment, if the world falls into chaos, with unsettled hearts and rampant demonic thoughts, then it’s a good time to cultivate the demonic techniques, and at that time, if some demons emerge, who knows, it might deliver a fatal blow to this world.

“It seems he plans to use the other four demons as cover, hide himself and fight a protracted battle,” Lu Zheng said.

“Protracted battle?” Master Qing Song thought for a moment, felt Lu Zheng’s description was quite accurate, nodded, “Therefore, before he launches his protracted battle, we must send him back to the Demon Realm!”

Lu Zheng nodded, “Alright, so what did the ancestor say, should we all encircle the Yuzhen Temple together?”

Master Qing Song said, “Exactly, Divine Monarch Hui Jian and the ancestor are now at Celestial Sword Mountain, and have already alerted Zen Master Ben Hong from Great Vajra Temple, Ling Kunzi from Chixiao Temple, Zen Master Dejie from Fahua Temple. The three can arrive at any time, now only waiting for Sect Leader Si herself to arrive, combining the power of six great masters to encircle and kill the Profound Profound Demon Lord.”

Lu Zheng: ╭(°A°`)╮

“Is it necessary?” Lu Zheng was stunned, “I thought only the ancestor and Divine Monarch Hui Jian would act, but Ling Kunzi and Zen Master Dejie also join in? Plus that Great Vajra Temple’s… patriarch?”

What qualifications does the Profound Profound Demon Lord have to be besieged by these six top masters of the era?

That Primordial Fang Dog Demon Venerable, just handling Master Fansa alone, had lost most of his life… Hmm, maybe no such comparison, after all, Master Fansa himself is gone.

But in any case, the lineup of six great masters is too luxurious!

The previous Four Great Dragon Kings emerged together, countering only Demon Dragon King and Su Aojun!

But…

“That’s awesome!”

Lu Zheng just loves such confrontations; on their side, the advantage of the Celestial Demon is the stealth; naturally their advantage is numbers and strength. Especially once the position of the Fallen Celestial Demon is confirmed, not utilizing the advantage is foolish behavior. ℯℓ.

Is Dongyangzi a fool?

Of course not!
