Sun Hongbo rejected Bai Cang's proposal!
Bai Cang wasn't surprised at all by this.
After all, he is now over ten thousand years old, the ruler of a country, and is doing very well in the Five Dragons Demon Sect.
With three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, hundreds of beautiful women and concubines, and seventy or eighty offspring, they had long since taken root in the Five Dragons Demon Sect and become powerful figures in the area.
The person who once gritted his teeth and said, "Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, who wouldn't want to pursue the Great Way?" has long since disappeared without a trace amidst the hustle and bustle of the world and its riches and glory.
Perhaps for Sun Hongbo, what he is pursuing is the life he has now.
Becoming an immortal? I'm living the life of an immortal right now!
Bai Cang expressed respect for this, but also put forward his own "conditions".
That is to sever the causal relationship between the two, and perhaps even modify some of it, making Sun Hongbo forget his true origins and his relationship with Bai Cang.
This is also to protect him!
After all, what Bai Cang was about to do was absolutely unacceptable to the Five Dragons Demon Sect.
If others were to find out about their relationship, everything Sun Hongbo has now would vanish in an instant.
However, Bai Cang did not hide anything from the other party and laid everything out clearly.
Sun Hongbo also said he could accept this result!
So Bai Cang randomly selected a "lucky one" who had cultivated the "Art of Immortality" to the ninth level and then secluded himself for a long time.
Then an invisible sword flew out and killed the "lucky guy," refining it into a blood pill and sealing it within Sun Hongbo's body.
Finally, Bai Cang activated the "Heart-Mind Divine Number" to erase Sun Hongbo's past and confuse his cause and effect with the secrets of heaven.
From then on, whether in other people's hearts or in Sun Hongbo's memory, he was a native "Northern Demon Cultivator," with no trace of being a visitor from the Southern Frontier.
Modifying memories and confusing cause and effect on such a large scale is not an easy task, even for Bai Cang.
Fortunately, none of the people involved by Sun Hongbo had achieved immortality like gods and demons; the highest level of cultivation was only the ninth level of demonic arts.
Otherwise, Bai Cang might not have been able to accomplish this task.
However, as that rather thick causal line gradually became thinner and dimmer, it eventually broke and disappeared completely.
Bai Cang felt a sudden sense of relief and a strange feeling in his heart.
Only then did he truly understand what it meant to be a "divine being".
It lies not only in its strength and combat power, but also in its control and alteration of the fate of all living beings.
A single thought can influence and change the fate of countless people.
They can even alter memories, confuse and graft cause and effect, causing the fate of an individual, or even countless beings, to undergo earth-shattering changes.
This experience of being able to overturn heaven and earth with a single thought and control all living beings with a single thought moved Bai Cang far more than the matter of severing ties with Sun Hongbo.
Today, when Bai Cang looks at "mortals," he feels somewhat like he's looking at the flowers and plants on the left side of the road.
Even if someone is a ninth-level god or demon, or a Yin God Venerable, as long as they have not yet attained the Dao of the Primordial Spirit and become an "immortal," they are no different in his eyes.
Apart from a few old acquaintances, everyone else was no different from objects in his eyes.
If it's useful, then "pick" it; if it's not, then ignore it.
Just as he wanted to repay the debt to Sun Hongbo, he casually killed a demonic cultivator at the ninth level of demonic cultivation and refined him into a blood pill.
Everything seemed perfectly natural, without taking into account the other party's identity or whether they had a close relationship with Sun Hongbo.
For example, after Sun Hongbo refused to follow, he quickly became a tool for Bai Cang to fulfill his own karma and state of mind.
Although I do consider the other person's feelings, I prioritize my own.
Bai Cang couldn't say whether this mindset of "all living beings are ants, only I am an immortal" was good or bad.
After all, he was inherently indifferent to human life and regarded all living beings as worthless.
If they can disregard even human life, why would they care about anything else?
Let alone other people's lives, Bai Cang often doesn't even care too much about his own life.
Extremely afraid of death, yet unafraid to risk it all, these are desperate criminals who walk on the edge of a knife.
That's exactly the kind of person I'm talking about.
Moreover, Bai Cang felt that this change in mindset might not be unique to him.
Most Yuan Shen Dao Jun (Primordial Spirit Dao Lords) will likely experience similar changes in their state of mind; it's just a matter of time.
Some people follow past behavioral patterns, "playing" their former selves, perhaps in order to maintain their unwavering faith and avoid moral guilt, thus giving rise to inner demons during their spiritual practice.
Some people do it simply to make themselves feel like a human being.
Bai Cang is undoubtedly the latter!
He found himself needing to deliberately play the role of a flesh-and-blood, compassionate "person," pretending that he still had a pitifully small number of principles and a bottom line that was so low it was practically nonexistent.
It's simply because this is the mainstream and most powerful orthodox sect of Taoism, and it's the moral standard that best serves everyone's interests and is what they need and advocate.
If you can continue acting, you are considered an "immortal"; if you can't continue acting, you have fallen into the demonic path and must bear all the consequences yourself.
Bai Cang had accepted this principle in his heart, which is why he subconsciously "played" it.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Bai Cang has lost the emotions and feelings that a human being should have.
Rather, these things are no longer able to bind him at all.
It was merely a seasoning in his long life, not a necessity.
He can "be a human being," and only because he does so intentionally.
He could also "become inhuman" if it suited his interests.
In short: to do whatever one pleases to the extreme is to be close to being a demon!
However, when Bai Cang told Zhang He about this result...
He seemed completely unsurprised, and instead, strangely, let out a sigh of relief.
Bai Cang then asked, "Is there anyone here you still care about?"
If so, Bai Cang wouldn't mind helping him take them with him.
Anyway, the "Pot Heaven World" is still lacking quite a few "people", so what difference does it make who we bring?
Unexpectedly, Zhang He did not hesitate at all, "Having sought the Dao for decades, I am all alone and have no attachments."
So Bai Cang released his divine sense again, preparing to randomly select a "lucky one" who had cultivated the "Vajra Heavenly Dragon Technique" to the ninth level, and also to refine a blood pill for Zhang He.
However, after searching the Five Dragons Demon Sect thoroughly, he couldn't find a single person who had cultivated the "Vajra Heavenly Dragon Technique" to the ninth level, "Origin Condensation, Demon God True Body".
The highest level is only the eighth level, "physical creation, demonic body".
Moreover, they were subjected to various measures, and each of them was being watched by more than one god or demon ancestor.
Seeing this, Bai Cang couldn't help but let his mind wander, and immediately made corresponding adjustments to his plan.
Then, he condensed the first ten levels of the "Vajra Heavenly Dragon Technique" into a golden seal for receiving ordination and slapped it into Zhang He's forehead.
However, when he took Zhang He into the "World of Pots and Caskets".
But then another unexpected turn of events occurred!
