In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...
Confucianism reveres the Mandate of Heaven, therefore it cultivates itself to fulfill its nature and fulfill its destiny!
Buddhism firmly believes in karma, which is why it keeps its distance from cause and effect.
Only we Taoists do not believe in fate, nor fear karma, and dare to strive for immortality and immortality. How magnificent we are!
For Bai Cang, the concepts of cause and effect and karma were nothing but bald-headed fallacies and heresies, not worth mentioning.
Even when the fire of karma recedes and cause and effect dissolve.
Still not satisfied, Yao, feeling a surge of ambition, decided to keep them all as provisions for his own promotion.
Moreover, they act immediately upon thinking of something and put it into practice right away.
"boom!"
In an instant.
The sword's clarity shines forth, the Heavenly Eye of Illumination coalesces, and the phoenix eyes and dragon pupils manifest.
A tangled mess of cause and effect suddenly came into Bai Cang's view.
Upon seeing this, Bai Cang's mind raced, and his "Escape Technique" talent was immediately activated.
The chaotic tangled threads of cause and effect suddenly collapsed and then transformed into a single "point," appearing out of thin air in the world of the pot.
"Boom!"
The next moment.
Countless threads of cause and effect unfold in the world of the pot, weaving together into a dense web, exuding an aura of profound mystery.
At this moment, the world of Pot Heaven also underwent a mysterious transformation, as if something missing had been made up for.
For individual beings, the entanglements of cause and effect that they avoid like snakes and scorpions and fear like tigers are utterly insignificant to the world of the Pot Heaven.
It is even a kind of "resource" that is "highly nourishing"!
However, Bai Cang did not pay attention to the changes in the world of the pot. Instead, he used the heaven and earth as a cage and the rules as shackles to trap a formless, shapeless, and ethereal thought.
"This is... a Heavenly Demon?"
Bai Cang watched the void before him with great interest, which gradually shone with a clear light.
Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared in that pool of clear light, looking at Bai Cang with a bewildered expression.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
Oh, so it's me, "Emperor Demon," about to ruin the cultivation of the person before me?
But how did one person suddenly become the "world"?
Even the "Emperor Demon," with his vast knowledge and experience, was now deeply perplexed.
It's just a subconscious conveyance of the idea of ββ"surrender".
"So it was the Free and Unfettered Demon!"
Bai Cang suddenly realized what was going on, but then a sense of lingering fear arose within him.
The "Heavenly Demon," also known as the "Free Heavenly Demon," often appears when a cultivator's inner demons are rampant or when calamities are approaching. It uses the illusion of enlightenment, claiming to transcend calamities, enjoy eternal freedom, and be completely at ease, to deliberately corrupt the cultivator's cultivation.
If Bai Cang truly believed that he had survived his tribulation and resolved his karma, that was the moment when the "Free Heavenly Demon" began to corrupt his mind.
But now...
"Command the Gods! Command the Gods! Command the Gods!"
Bai Cang raised his hand and unleashed a "Triple Divine Command," transforming the formless and shapeless "Free Heavenly Demon" into a tangible yet intangible illusory deity.
Admittedly, Bai Cang's decree is only effective within the world of the Pot Heaven. The "Pot Heaven Godhood" does not have the same effect outside the world.
But isn't this exactly the effect he wanted to achieve?
By using the "Godhood of the Pot Heaven" to leash the "Free Heaven Demon," they gained control over its life and death.
Next, it's time to arrange the official "Heavenly Demon Blood Blade"!
When Bai Cang was forging the "Heavenly Demon Blood Blade", he did not want to risk colluding with the Heavenly Demon to descend to the mortal realm, so he forged a Ghost Demon as a substitute.
Now that we have the "Free and Unfettered Demon" in hand, and are not lacking in precious materials, we have the means to acquire them.
Of course he wants to reforge the "Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Blade"!
Even among the many demons, the "Free Demon," known as the "Son of Heaven Demon," occupies the very top of the "demonic food chain"!
If we can use the "Free Heavenly Demon" as a foundation to reforge the "Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Blade", we will definitely be able to forge the most top-tier magic weapon embryo!
With this in mind, Bai Cang immediately stopped hesitating and raised his hand, transforming the "Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Blade" into a streak of blood light that shot into the sky.
Then it merged with that clear light, transforming into a blood-red stream of light that rolled and tumbled across the sky, resembling blood-red clouds.
"Heaven and earth are the cauldron, the sun and moon are the furnace, yin and yang are the charcoal, and creation is the craftsman. By command!"
As the white robe billowed, all sorts of precious materials fell into the blood-red clouds.
Items such as "Azure Blood Treasure", "Yin Yang Jade", "Five Elements Divine Gold", and "Pure Glazed Fire" are numerous and dozens of rare materials, each radiating a dazzling array of colors.
All sorts of precious lights and crimson clouds shone brightly, but eventually they gradually vanished into nothingness.
Seeing this, Bai Cang suddenly had a brilliant idea. He raised his hand and sent the rudimentary form of the "Great Five Elements Yin Yang Yuan Magnetic Starlight Extinction Divine Blade" into that formless and shapeless aura.
"boom!"
The next moment.
A sharp edge suddenly appeared, spreading out wisps of Daoist charm.
Yin and Yang intertwined, the five elements interacting and restraining each other, primordial magnetic starlight, extinction and slaughter...
The various Daoist principles gave rise to seventy-two forbidden techniques, which vaguely outlined the shape of a divine sword, but in the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
"What a magnificent Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Blade! What a perfect Earthly Fiend magic weapon!"
Bai Cang opened his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach. Immediately, he saw an invisible and formless sharpness on the platform, circling and intertwining with the Yin God.
This time, the "Heavenly Demon Blood Blade" was reforged using the "Free Heavenly Demon" as its foundation, incorporating various precious materials, and also incorporating the prototype of the "Extinction Divine Blade" seal.
Surprisingly, it enabled him to achieve perfect Earthly Fiend cultivation, and the seventy-two forbidden techniques were perfectly formed.
From then on, the "Great Five Elements Yin Yang Yuan Magnetic Starlight Extinction Divine Blade" was transformed from a supernatural power into a magical artifact.
Not only does it consume less energy to activate, but it also incorporates the characteristics of the "Free and Unfettered Demon".
It is formless and invisible, yet incredibly fast, almost like light, and can even trace cause and effect. It is almost always accurate, leaving people with no choice but to endure it.
Unless one possesses a secret technique to shield oneself from cause and effect, or avoids any involvement with Bai Cang, it is virtually impossible to defeat the Divine Blade's strike!
While it cannot yet be considered a completely "causal and inevitable strike," it can be considered "a sage arising from the human heart," and "a strike that originates from the sea of ββthe heart, severing both the body and the spirit!"
If he were to encounter another "life-saving true lord" like Tianmu Daoren, Bai Cang was 100% certain that he could chop him to pieces!
If he were to nurture a trace of spirituality into the "Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Blade" and use it to "seize" the Free Heavenly Demon, he could take a shortcut to advancing his magic weapon, making it much simpler than advancing ordinary magic weapons.
"I wonder if, after upgrading a magic weapon, there will be miraculous events like reversing cause and effect, striking the enemy before the blade is even drawn?"
Bai Cang thought to himself, and his mood improved considerably.
He originally thought that the first magical artifact he would refine would be the "Ghostly White Bone Banner".
After all, the "Ghostly White Bone Banner" has "Little Nie" as its "fully automated magical artifact refining production line," as well as the blessing and amplification of many ghosts and gods.
But now it seems that the "Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Blade" will probably get there first!
Thinking this, Bai Cang took a step and returned to the mortal world.
But when he looked up, the changes inside the Heshan Dao mountain gate left him speechless!
