Chapter 288: Monsters and Ghosts
The cancer in the only eternal real world - demons and monsters.
Monster: A general term for non-human alien life forms, different from the intelligent demons. Regardless of their strength, these creatures have no spiritual wisdom at all. From birth to death, only destruction and killing run through their entire lives.
Demon: Intelligent creatures have fallen into the darkness of sin and transformed into demons. They are cunning and cruel, and take pleasure in destruction and killing. Because they are intelligent and good at lurking, they always cause huge damage whenever they suddenly rise up, causing headaches for human forces.
(Human cultivators, for some reasons, may also fall into the possibility of degenerating into demons if certain conditions are met.) Ghost: Non-physical life, some creatures whose true spirits have been destroyed. Their souls, which should have returned to heaven and earth, have undergone mutations and have been born with intelligence and transformed into ghosts. They are neither alive nor dead, and feed on negative emotions such as souls, fear, and the breath of life and death. They like to play with the seven emotions and six desires of intelligent life, causing them to die in endless fear and despair.
Monster: A strange and bizarre thing, mysterious and powerful, with unknown reasons for its birth and various forms of existence. Any object, even a piece of text, a song, a star, or a concept, has the potential to become a "monster".
The means of attack are even more bizarre and unpredictable. The most advanced existence has the ability of "memetic infection". Once it appears, it often turns a world or a star field into a completely desolate death zone.
Monsters can be said to be the most terrifying of the four major cancers. The reason for their birth is unknown, their form of existence is unknown, their means of attack are unknown, and there is no specific method to eliminate them.
"Monsters are a bit like 'contained objects'. If we regard the One True World as a living being, the appearance of monsters is the result of some genetic mutations."
"The world is sick, and it's cancer..."
Bai Donglin and many other sect monks sat on the viewing platform with a thoughtful look in their eyes, while the Taoist monks on the stands were still introducing demons and monsters to their disciples and teaching them some ways to deal with them.
He was just listening casually. When it comes to understanding demons and monsters, most people can't compare to him. There is a lot of knowledge in this area in the mountains of books. He has studied it in detail and has also developed some inferences and insights of his own.
The goals of demons and monsters are similar to those of aliens, except that one wants to destroy the only true world, and the other wants to exterminate the human race and then occupy the only true world themselves.
With this somewhat similar purpose, demons, ghosts and alien races are all frantically eroding the only true world.
However, only demons and monsters will obey the orders of alien races, while the attitude of ghosts is ambiguous. Ghosts are generally independent individuals with independent wills, making it difficult for alien races to control them.
As for "monsters", it is even more impossible to control them. As long as they are in the one true world, the monsters' attacks are indiscriminate. No matter whether they are human or alien races, they are all their targets.
"When it comes to studying demons and monsters, the alien races are more powerful. Humans are far behind!"
Bai Donglin sighed slightly. After all, the alien race has a unique advantage. They are close to the water and get the moon first. Now they have mastered the means to mass-produce monsters.
In addition to the cultivators of their own race, the demon army has become a force that cannot be ignored on the battlefields of both sides, such as the cannon fodder demons that emerged from the twisted black hole of the Dan Alliance last time.
Fortunately, however, these mass-produced monsters have no possibility of becoming top-notch powerhouses. The strength of their power depends on the manufacturing methods of the alien race, and they have no ability to improve themselves.
Very similar to the cannon fodder angels in the world of gods.
"Okay, I have finished my introduction, and now we are officially going to start the Heart Test Conference!"
"I hope you can overcome your inner fears and slay demons. Disciples with outstanding performance can directly become inner disciples!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and summoned a magical weapon surrounded by fairy light, which turned out to be a rare scroll magic weapon.
The magic weapon slowly unfolded, and a lifelike ink-colored landscape painting appeared in front of everyone. The picture was slightly waving, and the objects drawn by the brush and ink seemed to come alive.
"Into this world of the painting, a lot of demons and monsters have been placed in advance, with demons making up the majority, and there is also a monster, so you guys better take care of yourself."
“Photo!”
The Taoist pointed his finger, and the scroll sprinkled with colorful light, covering the hundreds of thousands of Taoist disciples on the square. The light rolled back, and instantly all of them were sucked into the world in the painting.
The scroll expanded and floated in the void. The numerous Taoist disciples were like dust particles, invisible in the huge world of the painting.
Bai Donglin's eyes turned, and as long as his gaze fell on a certain point in the painting, a clear three-dimensional picture would immediately appear in his mind. It was indeed a wonderful magic weapon.
The world in this painting is not a complete world. There are no rules. It is just a space that has been cut out.
He also knew the method of refining this type of magic weapon. One of the main materials was a piece of "space-time fragment" captured from the dimensional space.
Bai Donglin, who was originally not in a good mood, suddenly became excited when he heard the Taoist say that there was something strange, and his eyes scanned the scroll back and forth.
Although the monsters are very scary, fortunately they are very rare and rarely seen. Now that he has the chance, he naturally wants to see them for himself.
The battle in the world of the painting is fierce. There is a powerful disciple walking alone, making hand gestures, performing fierce Taoist magic, attracting thunder and flames, and strangling the demons.
The weaker disciples formed groups to complement each other's weaknesses. After being at a loss in the beginning and adapting to the monsters' attack methods, they were able to fight back and forth with them.
If a disciple is in a desperate situation, the scroll will ripple and kick him out of the world in the painting.
These disciples have good strength and talent. After all, they are all geniuses who can join the Taoist sect, and are similar to the new disciples of the Jidao Holy Sect.
The weakest ones have all reached the Great Perfection of the Soul Realm, while the excellent ones have already condensed the Dharma Realm (divine power). It is a foregone conclusion for the Dharma Realm cultivators to enter the inner gate.
Bai Donglin's attention was not on these disciples. Such strength was not worthy of his attention. It looked flashy but was just a small fight. His eyes were always searching for that strange one.

“Found it!”
Bai Donglin's eyes lit up and he noticed something strange in a low-lying area on the plain.
There was green grass ten feet high, the ground was wet and muddy, and in an inconspicuous, dried-up puddle, there was a thin layer of yellow mud covering it. The yellow mud seemed to have life and was wriggling slightly.
Rustle!
The green grass rustled as a wolf demon several feet tall walked by, drooling from the corners of its mouth. Its red eyes were filled with madness as it looked around.
Plop! The wolf demon stepped over the puddle without noticing, its limbs stepped on the yellow mud, and its shiny hair was immediately stained with yellow mud.
The slightly wriggling yellow mud seemed to be stimulated and began to grow and spread wildly, covering the entire body of the wolf demon in an instant.
Sharp bumps emerged from the thin layer of yellow mud. The wolf demon wrapped in it seemed to be struggling fiercely. The movements became weaker and weaker, and it returned to calm within a few breaths.
The yellow mud began to wriggle and twist again, and after a series of changes, a wolf demon that looked exactly the same as before appeared in the same place. From the shiny hairs to the crazy expression and momentum, to the strength and aura, they were all exactly the same.
It was as if the yellow mud had never appeared.
But Bai Donglin, who saw everything, knew that the wolf demon was completely dead, and was replaced by this strange yellow mud.
He couldn't help but marvel in his heart. Even with his insight, he couldn't see any difference between the wolf demon transformed from yellow mud and the previous wolf demon. No matter from which aspect, even the soul breath was exactly the same. It was simply a perfect replica!
The wolf demon shook its shiny scarlet hair, looked around with its red eyes, and walked out of the grassland with the same pace. The yellow mud in the small puddle had disappeared.
A group of pig monsters happened to pass by. A strange light flashed in the wolf monster's eyes, and he pounced on them instantly.
Suddenly, screams like pigs being slaughtered were heard from the grassland.
Extremely cruel.
