I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

The Confucian scholar knew clearly that the other person's true self was actually outside the boundaries of this time and space.

Even if he used all his strength, he could not completely destroy it.

His original intention was to change the other party's mindset and lead the influenced person back to the right path.

Although Xie Que appeared in the world as a red fox, his cultivation seemed mediocre.
However, the resentment hidden deep in his heart and the huge will that should not be underestimated have caused serious "spiritual pollution".

This power is impartial to everyone, no matter the status quo.

Or to those cultivators in the Mingtang Realm, their thoughts were infinitely magnified by this power.

As a result, the order of the entire Mingtang world became turbulent and collapsed.

Therefore, for the Mingtang Realm Heavenly Dao, killing the "Red Fox" is not important, what is important is to eliminate the inner demons of all living beings.

At this time, Xie Que finally understood that this battle that had spanned endless years and hundreds of reincarnations had finally come to an end.

And the result of the struggle is already clear.

The white fox transformed by Ketu Tianjun ultimately failed to escape the fate of failure;
As for myself, although I have managed to hold on until now, it cannot be said to be a real victory.

However, fortunately, I have lived longer than the other person.
All the cultivation that once belonged to Jidu Tianjun now naturally became his own.

What Xie Que had not expected was that Jidu Tianjun had left a final foreshadowing.

While he inherited the other party's powerful power from the other side, he also invisibly took over the other party's identity, that is, the inner demon Jiduxing.

Xie Que sighed softly and looked at the scholar: "Although you came here with the will of heaven, you are just a piece of good fortune. What can you change..."

Upon hearing this, the scholar's expression instantly became solemn, with a flash of anger in his eyes:

"You evil heretic, what exactly do you want to do? What nonsense do you want to instill in me?"

Xie Que did not respond directly, but just stared at him quietly, with a meaningful smile gradually appearing on the corner of his mouth:

"You keep calling me a demon. So who will I be the demon of right now, standing in front of you? You? Or those scholars who are immersed in books and dream of ruling the country and bringing peace to the world?"

The scholar snorted coldly and was about to open his mouth to refute, but suddenly he felt the surrounding scene was in a trance.
In the blink of an eye, he was on a busy street.

This street is filled with harmony and peace.
The faces of the people were filled with smiles of satisfaction and happiness, and the food they ate due to hunger and cold was no longer seen.

At the same time, Xie Que's deep voice sounded quietly in his ears:

"Isn't this a good world? All people in the world, regardless of their status, should enjoy equal rights and opportunities."

"Everyone can have enough food and clothing, and everyone can live in peace. Isn't this the ideal country you long for in your heart?"

The scholar snorted disdainfully, his tone full of dissatisfaction:

"So what? Isn't everything still under your control? The so-called freedom and order are nothing but toys in your hands."

"If you really remove these artificial restrictions, then can the order of this Mingtang world continue to exist stably as you wish?"

Xie Que just smiled calmly, that smile revealed endless calmness:
"As long as I can suppress this world, order will always exist."

His tone was sonorous and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the scholar's heart hard.
His face began to turn pale and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

"But, you..." The scholar wanted to say something else, but was quickly interrupted by Xie Que.

"There is no but," Xie Que's voice was cold and firm, "You can't defeat me. Naturally, the Heavenly Dao of this Mingtang Realm cannot defeat me either!"

"I am the master here, an invincible existence!"

His words seemed to carry an endless pressure, as if they contained the law of heaven.

The scholar felt a terrifying force coming towards him, which caused blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.

He staggered back, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Take a good look at yourself, the so-called son of destiny!" Xie Que's voice sounded again, with endless indifference.
"You yourself are already plagued by inner demons, deeply trapped in the quagmire, and there is no cure. How can you have the energy to meddle in other people's affairs?"

In a trance, the Confucian scholar suddenly raised his head, and where he looked, he found that the entire Mingtang world had been tightly entangled by a huge monster without him knowing when.

The creature had a strange appearance, resembling a dragon and a wolf, with a red head, and its left eye catching the sun and its right eye catching the moon.

"This...what kind of existence is this?!"

The scholar was so horrified that his whole body began to tremble involuntarily.

He could clearly feel the close connection between himself and the Way of Heaven.

It disappeared strangely at this moment, as if it was pulled into an unfamiliar dimension by an invisible force.

The red dragon head slowly lowered, and its huge eyes revealed a frightening cold light.

The scholar's face instantly became crazy and distorted, as if he had seen something beyond imagination and indescribable horror.

Xie Que originally just intended to devour this Confucian scholar in order to replenish the cosmic light he needed so that he could smoothly return to the present time and space.

However, at this moment, he suddenly developed a strong interest in this Confucian scholar.

He saw that the Confucian scholar's heart was infinitely magnified under the drive of terror, and the seed of the inner demon hidden in his heart,

Under this extreme emotional stimulation, the flowers bloomed naturally.

Xie Que smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and tapped lightly.
The Confucian scholar fell powerlessly like a fallen leaf into the illusion he had previously woven.

……

Xie San's eyes wandered around vaguely, as if he was in a hazy dream.

Everything around him was familiar yet strange, causing him to mutter to himself: "Who... who am I?"

Two hundred years later, the Confucian scholar who inherited Xie San's identity and strength was no longer the original Xie San.

He reintegrated Da Cai with tremendous force and brought the entire world under his rule.

Compared with Xie San of the past, his methods are more ruthless and his actions are more cruel.

Under his rule, a completely new concept was imposed on the world.
Only those who are born with good hearts are qualified to embark on the path of spiritual practice; those who are born with evil hearts will be imprisoned in the mortal world forever and become one of the countless living beings.

In order to realize this idea, Xie San strictly divided the world into two completely different areas.

One side is the paradise of monks, the holy land that everyone dreams of; the other side is the world of mortals.

What puzzled Xie San was that although the mortal world had lost the interference and constraints of the Dragon Snake Ring World Sutra, it had also gained new vitality and vigor.

Although there are still various disputes and conflicts in the mortal world, it is generally stable.

In the monks' world, the situation was completely different. The whole world seemed to have turned into a dark forest.

In this forest, every monk is like a stalking cheetah, not daring to easily reveal their whereabouts.
Because even among fellow disciples, there is suspicion and killing.

Within the sect, tragic incidents of masters killing their masters, betraying their faith, and using their disciples as medicine occurred one after another.

Xie San once naively thought that after being away from worldly troubles, the monks would choose to retreat and practice with peace of mind.

However, reality cruelly told him that both resources and spiritual energy were the source of the monks' greed.

The fire of their desires burned more fiercely and was harder to extinguish than that of ordinary people. Despite this, Xie San still held a mentality of not believing in evil and started a new round of experiments.

He tried to guide the monks onto the right path through various means.

However, no matter how hard he tried, as long as there was no external interference, order would inevitably slide towards collapse.

Even though he gave monks and mortals endless resources so that they no longer had to struggle for a living, the greed and selfishness of human nature ultimately made it impossible for them to escape the fate of being divided into different classes.

Disputes and fights still follow us like shadows and cannot be eradicated.

At this point, Xie San finally understood a profound truth: people may be born selfish, and this is the unchangeable nature of human nature.

So he began an unprecedented campaign of reorganization and massacre, determined to completely change the face of the world.

After that, he controlled everyone's mind, making it impossible for them to have any selfish thoughts.

He also controlled the world's weather changes and all other factors that could affect the operation of the world, making the entire world operate according to his wishes.

……

When the scholar slowly opened his eyes again, what he saw was Xie Que's half-smile.

Xie Que's voice sounded slowly, with a hint of teasing and mockery: "How is it? Have you had enough fun in this playground that you painstakingly built for yourself?"

A trace of helplessness and bitterness flashed in the scholar's eyes. He sighed softly, "It seems that what I thought was right. Human hearts are indeed extremely sinister."

"The so-called inner demon is nothing more than the greed and selfishness deep in our hearts."

"In the final analysis, this is only our own fault."

After hearing this, the Confucian scholar just sighed helplessly.

He knew that he had reached a dead end and could no longer turn back.

Then, in the next moment, his flesh, blood, and soul seemed to be ripped away by an invisible force.

It turned into strands of nutrients and merged into the seed of the inner demon.

Seeing this, Xie Que stretched out his hand and gently grasped the seed of the inner demon firmly in his hand.

At the same time, he did not forget to grab the scattered Tianxin Seals.

At this moment, a divine thunder suddenly appeared in the sky.

After all, Heaven is not stupid. It knows clearly that the Son of Destiny that it personally selected has fallen.

And the person holding the Heavenly Heart Seal at this moment is just an outsider.

"Outsider, you have crossed the line..." A deafening voice like thunder suddenly exploded in Xie Que's ears.

Xie Que's expression did not change at all. He responded calmly: "How did I cross the line? It was obviously you who provoked me first."

Tiandao did not make any excuses, but lightning flashed like a giant dragon tearing through the sky and struck Xie Que fiercely.

Under the might of that day, Xie Que's body was instantly torn into countless pieces, and even the void was shaking.

Although Xie Que has now integrated the power of a Heavenly Lord, Jidu Heavenly Lord is not in a complete state, so his current strength is still unable to compete with the Heavenly Dao.

However, Xie Que was not helpless.

At the moment his body was torn apart, his soul instantly turned into thousands of thoughts, spreading in all directions like stars.

You must know that Jidu Tianjun is known as the source of the inner demon, and such an identity is a taboo among the Buddhas.

Countless ancient and powerful beings have had the seeds of evil planted in their hearts by Ketu.

As long as the demon species is still there, Ketu Star will rise one day.

But now, Jidu Xing's identity has been replaced by Xie Que.

As Xie Que split out his countless thoughts, these thoughts scattered throughout the world like seeds, quietly taking root and sprouting in the hearts of countless people, giving rise to all kinds of evil thoughts.

These evil thoughts do not directly interfere with people's thinking and judgment, but like latent undercurrents, they silently intercept all the will and power that should be fed back to the Way of Heaven.

This is an extremely terrifying ability, a magical power that can subvert the world.

Even Ketu Star had never had such power before.

But now Xie Que has further developed the Dragon Snake Ringing the World Sutra and it has become this kind of magical power.

……

Three hundred years later, the Heavenly Dao began to weaken.

Three thousand years later, spiritual power declined and the cultivation levels of countless cultivators plummeted.

Thirty thousand years later, spiritual energy was completely exhausted, and only a few cultivators were left surviving in the world.

Three hundred thousand years later, countless seeds of inner demons quietly rose up and merged into a giant snake that encircled the world and entangled the Mingtang Realm.

I don't know how many years have passed, but the Mingtang Realm has long been completely washed away by the boundless water of the Yama world.
All traces of life on it were washed away, and its heavenly way gradually fell into a state of weakness.

During this long time, Xie Que finally opened his eyes again.

"The Dragon and Snake World Sutra..."

"Use the world as nourishment to nourish yourself."

"Even in time and space, there is no escape from the mouth of the great snake."

He slowly opened his eyes and saw the sun and moon surrounding him.

Although after he devoured the Ketu star, the other side was already within reach,

This is even more so now after swallowing part of the Mingtang Realm's Heavenly Dao.

But he knew very well that it was merely an improvement in the realm of strength.

Only when you have extrapolated your own "law" to the realm of the other shore can you be said to have truly reached the other shore.

After all, Xie Que knew clearly in his heart that if he blindly inherited other people's methods, he would most likely face huge and unpredictable troubles in the future.

"Now, I have integrated the Heavenly Dao of Mingtang Realm and the True Spirit of Jidu Star into one."

"Compared to the original body in the past time and space, its strength is only stronger, not weaker."

Xie Que sighed. Although he had lived in this time and space for a long time, it did not have much impact on his original body.
After all, as long as we return to the real world, the time node will remain unchanged.

“Now, it’s time to achieve the other shore.”

"After reaching the other shore, return to the real world..."

After coming up with the idea, Xie Que raised his hand.

The entire Mingtang world also exploded, and the remaining power of the Heavenly Dao was completely integrated into his body.

As a result, the Dragon Snake World Sutra was pushed to a new peak. (End of this chapter)
