Chapter 202, Section 201: [The Heaven-Mending Sect's Scheme]

The world of Beike, a realm beyond the heavens.

Five female immortals, with their hair in black buns, draped in colorful cloud-like robes, adorned with various gemstones between their brows, flawless faces, six radiant celestial lights floating behind their heads, and various gorgeous magical artifacts, gathered in front of a giant demon-suppressing mirror.

In the clear, water-like mirror, the Blissful Demon King, with his dual Buddha and demon forms, unleashed his terrifying power. The shattered mirror rapidly regenerated, and the powerful seventh-tier demon king seemed inexhaustible. The two were so entangled that this battle seemed to have no end.

Five indifferent female immortals were intently watching the battle reflected in the mirror, while above the mirror floated a small mark.

The mark was formed by two creatures with human heads and snake bodies, their long snake tails intertwined, their upper bodies embracing and kissing, and their entire bodies radiating a faint glow.

Perhaps due to its long existence, nearly half of the mark is missing over the years, with only a few delicate rays of light barely outlining the hollowed-out parts to complete the shape.

Under the light of the mark, the female immortals were communicating rapidly using their divine senses.

"In order to lure the Demon King of Bliss into the Gate of Mending Heaven, we sent Elder Tianpeng to risk his life to buy treasures in the Central Great World. Isn't that a bit too heartless to him?"

"After all, we've had a friendship for hundreds of thousands of years, and I felt a little reluctant to do it."

However, all sacrifices are worthwhile in order to trap the Demon King of Elysium.

"Over the past million years, Tianpeng is the only cultivator in the Beike World who, by chance, escaped our control and naturally advanced to the sixth rank. It is truly remarkable that he has reached this point today."

Unfortunately, he and we are not on the same path. We have already done a great favor by keeping him alive for so many years, so my sister doesn't need to worry too much.

"Yes, yes, this Blissful Demon King is a demon formed from the demonic thoughts of the Holy Maiden and Holy Son millions of years ago."

He wants to come in, isn't it to devour us and complete himself?

To survive, we must use any means necessary; what does it matter if we harm someone else?

……

The path of cultivation is arduous, and achieving the eighth-order Dao Integration Realm is extremely difficult.

With the blessing of a third-grade fruit of Destruction alone, the Path of Destruction may allow a Heavenly Demon to advance to the seventh rank, but it is absolutely impossible for it to advance to the eighth rank.

Moreover, there are three third-grade fruits on the side branch of the Ren character. Why is the Blissful Demon King so determined to forcefully attack the Bei Ke World?
This battle, in which the Heavenly Demon army invaded the world of Beike, was far more complex than the Heavenly Demons' stated intention to destroy the third-tier fruits in order to advance to the eighth tier.

However, the sixth-order immortals of this realm were clearly aware of the origins of the Blissful Demon King.

This all started more than a million years ago.

Although the Northern Ke World at that time had already reached the third grade of fruit, it was far from being as prosperous as it is today, and even sixth-level cultivators were extremely rare.

Then one day, two eggs of the Jambudvipa Beast suddenly fell into the world from the void.

These two eggs, having seized the creation of heaven and earth and invaded the mysteries of the sun and moon, eventually gave birth to two giant spirits with human heads and snake bodies after thousands of years.

The giant spirit named himself Fuxi and Nuwa respectively.

At that time, the world of Beike was ruled by demons who ate raw meat and drank blood. Their customs were barbaric. Fuxi and Nuwa were influenced by the moral values ​​of the time and were both brothers and sisters and husband and wife.

They practiced dual cultivation together, each specializing in the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the Four-Nine Arcane Arts respectively. Through mutual verification, they achieved the peak of the sixth rank in just one hundred years.

Afterwards, they fought a great battle against the demon king who ruled the world. One of them broke through the sky, and the other repaired it. They advanced to the seventh rank and helped the human race rise to power, which made the Bei Ke world what it is today.

After finishing these tasks, Fuxi and Nuwa left the Northern World and set off to explore the Central World.

Unexpectedly, the two returned severely injured tens of thousands of years later, and after struggling for several thousand years, they passed away, turning into a mark of a snake's tail.

In the years that followed, a small piece of the mark would peel off every 100,000 years and be reborn within the human race, eventually all of them reaching the sixth rank, which is the current high-ranking members of the Patching Heaven Sect.

If nothing unexpected happens, based on the Taoist arts practiced by Fuxi and Nuwa, the Holy Maiden's mark should split into twelve parts, and the Holy Son's mark should split into eight parts.

It took two million years to complete, and a total of twenty sixth-order cultivators were created.

Furthermore, because sixth-level cultivators have already attained immortality, they will not die of old age naturally. Their primordial spirits will eventually return to their original state, allowing Fuxi and Nuwa to be reborn.

However, an unexpected incident occurred during this process.

The Blissful Demon King was a celestial demon formed by the fusion of the demonic thoughts of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter when they reached the seventh rank. After many years of cultivation, he actually achieved the seventh rank.

His attack on the Northern Ke World was clearly aimed at devouring the former master and replenishing his own foundation.

Just as the female immortals, who were transformed from Nuwa, were chatting around the mirror, three orbs of light appeared out of thin air nearby, transforming into Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, and Nezha, three male immortals transformed from Fuxi.

The high-ranking members of the Butian Sect are all reincarnations of Fuxi and Nuwa, and they have an extremely close relationship, so they don't stand on ceremony with each other.

Upon arriving at the Outer Heavens, Nezha, who had grown into a childlike figure due to his cultivation of the [Corpse Immortal Soldier Dismantling Technique], spoke in an old-fashioned manner.

"The matter of exterminating demons in the lower realm has been arranged. Let's talk about the next step of the plan."

He touched the Demon-Suppressing Mirror with his bare feet, and the image in the mirror immediately changed, transforming from the Blissful Demon into Chen Sheng holding the Demon-Slaying Token.

At this moment, Chen Sheng was in the Yuanshi Hall looking at the merit exchange catalog of the Butian Sect, a faint smile on his lips, his whole body exuding an alluring charm that seemed to be in harmony with the Dao.

Even the female immortals who were reincarnations of Nuwa, with their profound cultivation and strong willpower, couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

Looking at his figure, Yang Jian, whose handsome face was due to cultivating the [Witchcraft Heavenly Scroll], spoke directly.

"When I first noticed this monk named Zhong Kui more than two hundred years ago, I originally thought he was just a handsome pretty boy."

Unexpectedly, he possessed a constitution that allowed him to be naturally close to the Dao, and no matter who he was cultivating with, he could directly sense the other person's cultivation insights.

This discovery is truly a blessing from heaven!

Beside him, Sun Wukong, whose body had become thin from cultivating the [Book of Gods and Demons Ascending to Heaven], also smiled and said.

"Yes, in order to realize our plan to exploit him."

Over the years, no matter whose daughter or sister the woman he was involved with was, we always took the initiative to suppress the parents' anger.

Now it seems he hasn't let us down.

The plan of the higher-ups of the Butian Sect was simple: to use Chen Sheng's talent to help him master the 108 Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Techniques.

Then, based on the Taoist aura, some of the aura of Fuxi and Nuwa were added to his Yang spirit, making him a fake reincarnation of a holy son and a holy daughter.

They even had a way to divide Chen Sheng in two.

In this way, by adding some substances and vital energy that are highly toxic to seventh-level cultivators to the Yang God, a great enemy can be easily eliminated after he is devoured by the Blissful Heavenly Demon.

Although doing so might be a waste of Chen Sheng's talent, what can you do when he's not the true reincarnation of Fuxi and Nuwa?

Those who are not one of their own, no matter how talented they are, are not qualified to be cultivated by the higher-ups of the Butian Sect.

"The thirty-odd fairies around Zhong Kui now should be enough for his cultivation, right?" "They should be enough. If we find anything lacking, we can add some more."

When the crucial moment arrives, even those female immortals who are already wives of gods and have profound cultivation can cultivate together with Zhong Kui.

We guide their destinies, so that whenever they meet, sparks of love will ignite.

"As for the Saintess's aura, let's use the little bit of five-colored steel left over from when we mended the sky. As for the Saintess's aura, let's use a drop of blood from her Dharma body left over from back then."

"Don't worry, these things will appear around him in a reasonable way."

"Yes, nothing can be rushed. The current Heavenly Demon Tribulation is a good opportunity. Through various demon-slaying missions, we can gradually get these things into his hands."

"The fusion of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and the Four-Nine Arcane Arts is the most crucial. When he reaches the final stage of his cultivation, he may need some of our help."

The higher-ups of the Butian Sect discussed and refined the details of the plan bit by bit.

With their authority and power, they can certainly make the plan flawless.

Click!

A crisp sound suddenly rang out from the heavens.

It turned out that a short crack had appeared on the Demon-Suppressing Mirror, and Chen Sheng's vision suddenly changed to the Blissful Demon King throwing punches with all his might.

Upon seeing this, Daoist charm immediately emanated from the primordial spirits of the eight sixth-level cultivators present, transforming into radiant light that fell upon the Demon-Suppressing Mirror.

The mirror surface has been temporarily repaired, suppressing the opponent.

Compared to all their long-term plans, suppressing the demon is their most important task right now.

……

The Celestial Realm, the Immortal Palace, the Primordial Hall.

Just as the higher-ups of the Butian Sect were plotting to take Chen Sheng's life, he was staring intently at several sixth-order magic artifacts in the artifact inventory in front of him.

Golden Dragon Scissors: Forged by two evil dragons from this world millions of years ago, this treasure can easily tear through space and cut immortal bodies as easily as cutting cloth.

Regardless of whether it is an immortal body or an indestructible soul, any cultivator below the sixth rank will be cut in half and devoured by the evil dragon's soul.

While this treasure cannot kill a sixth-tier cultivator in one strike, it does have a powerful restraining effect.

Merit points redeemed: 92,000.

Five-Colored Steel: A treasure left behind by the Holy Maiden who mended the sky. When activated, it can form a five-colored celestial shield, possessing a certain defensive capability.

This treasure contains the power of creation and renewal. Refining it into one's Yang Spirit can wash away one's cultivation and grant an opportunity to re-condense a different Yang Spirit.

Required merit points: 12,000
The Heavenly Demon Pearl: Holding it can resist the invasion of the Heavenly Demon's demonic thoughts, making one invincible when fighting against the Heavenly Demon.

It can even vaguely sense the location of the surrounding demons within a thousand miles, allowing it to find the enemy beforehand.

Required merit points: 88,000
These three items in front of him are all things that Chen Sheng can use.

The Golden Dragon Scissors are purely a weapon for combat. If he had this weapon, he would probably have no rivals in this Heavenly Demon Tribulation.

The five-colored steel can reset skill points, giving someone another chance to rebuild, which he can use later.

Although all the insights Chen Sheng gained from dual cultivation in the Bei Ke world would be transmitted to his main body, now that the Heavenly Demons are attacking, the Gate of Mending Heaven must have already closed. Being able to directly cultivate those Dao techniques in this world would make it easier for him to gain some benefits here.

The Heavenly Demon Pearl is even more convenient. This treasure can actively seek out the hidden Heavenly Demons, allowing its owner to accumulate more merit.

Unfortunately, the Golden Dragon Scissors and the Heavenly Demon Pearl were too expensive for him to afford.

"That's a bit strange. Why is the price of Five-Colored Steel so low when they are both sixth-tier magic weapons?"
Is it because its defensive capabilities are mediocre, and the skill reset effect is rather lackluster?

The moment Chen Sheng had a thought, he suddenly discovered that the Morality Hall had approved the demon-slaying mission previously recorded by the Primordial Beginning Hall, thus unlocking his 13,600 merits.

"I just wanted to buy something and then I had the money. What a coincidence!"

Without hesitation, Chen Sheng exchanged the five-colored steel, spending all his merit points until he had only 1,600 merit points left.

The items in the Demon Extermination Order can be exchanged by anyone. Once someone else exchanges them, you will forever miss the chance to own them.

No matter how expensive the item is, buy what you can first.

The merits rewarded by the Butian Sect were not Heavenly Merits derived from the diluted Purple Qi of the fruit pit, but rather the name of a merit, which Chen Sheng spent without a second thought.

After exchanging the token, he stood there waiting while looking at the contents of the Demon-Slaying Token.

Next, in the section on classic texts, there are millions of Taoist techniques and life-related methods.

Back in the Divine Court world, the Longevity Daoist Canon compiled by the Great Song Dynasty was already quite extensive, but compared to the collection of the Butian Sect, it was utterly insignificant.

Not only are there more of them in terms of quantity, but they are also a whole level higher in quality. They have also incorporated some other techniques from the side branches of the Ren character, and have hundreds of different cultivation systems, which are dazzling to behold.

Chen Sheng also saw the unique immortal techniques of the Bei Ke world, more than two hundred in total. This means that the sixth-level cultivators of this world have simplified more than two hundred sixth-level Dao techniques.

This is the foundation that a world has built up over a long period of time.

The exchange price for the classics is not cheap, and it is extremely uneconomical to exchange them with merit points.

Chen Sheng planned to wait until he had a higher level of cultivation and became a high-ranking member of the Butian Sect, then use his power to copy the Butian Sect's magic treasury to enrich the cultivation methods of the main world.

He continued looking down and found that the fifth column, "Meeting the Immortals," referred to consuming merit points to travel to the Outer Heavens and meet various sixth-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Those who exchange this opportunity can ask sixth-level cultivators for advice on difficult problems, receive guidance, forge weapons, modify their bodies... and even become disciples of sixth-level cultivators if they spend enough money.

The sixth column allows the holder of the Demon-Slaying Token to post the mission themselves.

When encountering a demon that you cannot deal with, or when you need help from others, you can use the Demon-Slaying Order to send an emergency message and request support from others.

It is a function that allows demon-slaying cultivators to support each other.

Chen Sheng had just skimmed through the rest of the text when, a few breaths later, a deity dressed as a military officer appeared beside him, carrying a wooden box.

A glint of light flashed in the god's eyes as he swept his gaze over Chen Sheng and the Demon-Slaying Order, seemingly confirming Chen Sheng's identity.

She tossed the box into his arms, and without saying a word, turned and left.

"The delivery service of the Lingbao Palace is really fast."
