My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1080 Explaining the Heavenly Dao, No Investigation Required
Having already consumed the top-grade healing elixir personally refined by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, Yun Zhongzi's damaged Dao foundation gradually recovered, and his depleted immortal power flowed into his long-empty meridians like a trickle.

"Take your time and speak slowly, there's no need to rush to finish."

Guang Chengzi sat on another nanmu chair, gently instructing Yun Zhongzi, his gaze fixed on Yun Zhongzi's pale face, full of concern: "Judging from your injuries, the source of the damage was mainly due to the self-ignition of your Dao foundation. Using such a fighting style that kills eight hundred enemies but injures ten thousand of your own, even if you were lucky enough to win, it would be difficult to gather even a fraction of your immortal power. You were able to escape alive from him, so he must have been seriously injured as well, right?"

"I'm ashamed..."

Yun Zhongzi lowered his head and said, "Wen Rui was completely unharmed, and didn't even expend any true energy. He simply moved to the side and flicked his palm, perfectly neutralizing my deadly sword strike."

"Hmm?" Guang Chengzi asked, puzzled, "So you possess a mysterious magic treasure that helps you escape?"

"You might not believe it if I told you, and even I don't believe it myself."

Yun Zhongzi said with a bitter smile, "He spared my life, did not harm me after I had exhausted my immortal power after drawing my sword, and let me return to Kunlun to report the news."

Around the long sandalwood table, besides Jade Cauldron True Man and Guang Chengzi, Yellow Dragon True Man and Red Essence were also present, and several Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect all showed expressions of confusion.

Master Huanglong roared in fury, "What an arrogant junior! He completely disregards my Chan Sect!"

"The common problem among the disciples of the Jie Sect is that they were defeated by their arrogance and conceit. Even though they were victorious, they pretended to be magnanimous and did not understand the principle of eradicating evil completely."

Chi Jingzi commented from the side, "That junior will pay the price for this sooner or later. The new generation of Jie Sect disciples have not learned a thing from the lessons of the previous generations of demon immortals and monster immortals."

Yun Zhongzi found the sound increasingly grating and couldn't help but recall the time when the Three Immortal Maidens of the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation subdued the Twelve Golden Immortals but never used the Golden Dragon Scissors to massacre them. As a result, the Primordial Heavenly Lord personally broke the formation.

Ignoring the sentiments shown by the Twelve Golden Immortals, the Primordial Heavenly Lord showed no mercy and mercilessly slaughtered them all without batting an eye.

There are many such cases. For example, Nezha, a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren, was once subdued by Shiji Niangniang for killing her disciple. Shiji Niangniang did not intend to kill Nezha, but when she was about to argue with Taiyi Zhenren who had arrived, she was burned alive by Taiyi Zhenren.

As the person who was spared, Yun Zhongzi felt very uncomfortable. If Wen Ruixin was from the Chan Sect, then he would have been dead for sure.

These core disciples at the very top of the Chan Sect's hierarchy, like father, like son, adhered to the Chan Sect's consistent style and did not believe that the Jie Sect disciples' soft-heartedness was a good virtue.

Recalling Wen Rui's words, Yun Zhongzi's already unbalanced Dao heart began to waver again—how could he possibly manage the Chan Sect well when he was with these bloodthirsty and cold-blooded insects?

"Fellow Daoist Yun Zhongzi's injuries have stabilized."

Yu Ding Zhenren, who was healing Yun Zhongzi, interjected, "Brother Guang Chengzi, what important matter do you have to discuss with us? I still have some pills being refined in my alchemy furnace..."

"Fellow Daoists, please listen to Fellow Daoist Yun Zhongzi recount the changes that have occurred in the Three Realms during our years of seclusion."

Guang Chengzi said, "Just now outside the hall, I overheard some fragmented conversations. It seemed that the remnants of the Jie Sect had risen from the ashes, and a peerless demon had emerged among the new generation of disciples, plotting a grand conspiracy to destroy the foundation of our Chan Sect. Master sensed the anomalies in the heavens, and the Western Sect's envoy came to warn and request aid, which is also related to this person." Yun Zhongzi composed himself, suppressing his inner turmoil, and recounted the events of his battle with the Creation Celestial Venerable (excluding the vague memories of time travel) in detail. Finally, he changed the subject, his tone becoming solemn:
"More importantly, I sensed from Zhao Mingcheng's words and Wen Rui's actions that his true purpose was not simply to collude with the demon race to wreak havoc on the three realms, but to create a 'new human race' that is a hybrid of humans, demons, and monsters—a new human race that does not rely on the protection of gods and Buddhas, but relies solely on the secret method of 'investigating things to gain knowledge' and the power of its own bloodline to become self-reliant and completely break free from the influence of the gods and Buddhas of the three realms on the mortal world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guang Chengzi frowned and snorted coldly: "Insane! Utterly insane! Absurd, utterly absurd! Humans, demons, and monsters have different bloodlines. Humans are the orthodox race of heaven and earth, possessing the innate virtues of 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness.' How can they be mixed with the ferocity of demons and the filth of monsters? Such hybridization will only create incongruous monsters, not some 'new human race'!"

"According to the laws of nature, this is how it should be... but..."

Yun Zhongzi said with a strange expression, "But the reality is that he seems to have succeeded, and not just succeeded in ordinary ways."

"what?"

"impossible!"

"Have you gone mad too? Has your soul been damaged?"

The Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect present were all astonished.

"Wen Rui handled this major event of racial integration with great method, with each step closely linked to the next."

Yun Zhongzi patiently explained the history of the Demon Alliance that he had collected while infiltrating the New Binhai City: "He first established a Demon Alliance, teaching the demons how to work and produce, which changed the nature of the demons who used to plunder and devour humans. They planted grains and raised livestock, not only supporting themselves but also having the surplus to accumulate resources, becoming increasingly wealthy."

"After the demon race no longer needed to eat people, he took in refugees and absorbed some humans into the demon alliance. They lived and worked together with those demons who had been educated, which deepened the understanding and mutual trust between humans and demons and eliminated estrangement and hatred."

"After that, he began to recruit demons from the Asura and Rakshasa clans from the land, thus forming a great alliance in which humans, demons, and monsters coexisted and prospered."

“The three races lived together peacefully under strict laws. Gradually, the young men and women of the three races developed feelings for each other and naturally came together in accordance with the principles of Yin and Yang to give birth to the next generation of mixed-race children.”

"In the future, these children who are half-human, half-demon, and half-demon will grow up and reproduce again, making their bloodlines even more mixed. They will be intertwined with each other. After three generations, there will be no more pure-blooded humans, demons, or monsters. Only the 'new human race' in Wen Rui's plan will remain."

Chi Jingzi slammed his hand on the sandalwood table and said sternly, "The union of humans and demons is a heinous crime, a violation of human ethics, and an evil deed that deserves to be punished by both gods and men. I refuse to believe that the offspring they produce will not be monsters!"

Yun Zhongzi sighed deeply and said, "There's a saying in the philosophy section of the Jie Sect's New Knowledge Series: 'Without investigation, there is no right to speak.' Fellow Daoist Chijingzi, have you investigated? Have you counted how many half-human, half-demon, half-human hybrid children are monsters?"

"Ah...isn't this an obvious truth of the Heavenly Dao? What's there to investigate? We, who interpret the Heavenly Dao, are endowed with the right to speak. Why do we need to investigate? We can just calculate with our fingers and whatever we think of will come to pass!"

Chi Jingzi said righteously, "When we immortals encounter such a thing, how can we wait for them to give birth to such a wicked child and commit such a sin? We would kill the demons directly, and we would enlighten the stubborn humans directly. If they still cannot be persuaded, we would send them to the Western Sect to become monks. The Western Sect is good at teaching such foolish people who are blinded by lust."
