Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 112, Section 111: Rahu Achieves Sainthood
Ji Yuan sat upright in the Heavenly Court, exercising the powers of the Heavenly Emperor, and surveyed the Three Realms. In the blink of an eye, three thousand six hundred and fifty days had passed in the Heavenly Court.

Hanging the Investiture of the Gods in the sky, with stars evolving within the inner universe and numerous divine positions being conceived, this is another step forward.

"Once you understand one path, all paths become clear. I have reached the point where I can hear the Dao in the morning and comprehend it by evening. It is a pity that the power manifested in the Investiture of the Gods did not encompass the ultimate number of the Dao, otherwise I would not have bothered to enter the world to comprehend the Great Dao."

With one step, the world turned upside down, and in an instant, they arrived at the North Sea.

"I have arrived, Lord Zhiming."

Ji Yuan called out softly, and the great formation opened. This time, there was no need to rush in.

Zhi Ming looked at Ji Yuan with amazement and said:

"Unexpectedly, the two saints of the Western Sect have betrayed the Heavenly Dao, leaving two vacant positions in the Heavenly Dao."

"The heavens are divided into forty-nine, but one is missing. Who can say for sure?"

Ji Yuan smiled slightly, knowing that things were bound to change eventually.

Then they brought out the Investiture of the Gods:
"We humbly request that the Divine Lord be included on the list."

Zhiming nodded: "Then I'll trust you one more time."

A wisp of true spirit was listed and bestowed the title of Northern Black Tortoise Emperor. However, the specific conferment ceremony still needs to be presided over by Haotian. Ji Yuan merely gave him the opportunity to gain merit by being listed.

This deity is a first-rank official, second only to Haotian in status, so it is most appropriate for Haotian to perform the investiture ceremony.

Of course, Ji Yuan came to Beihai not only to confer a godhood upon Zhi Ming, but also for matters concerning the Demon Realm.

Possessing the God-Slaying Whip, he has the ability to detect flaws in the world, and naturally discovered traces of the Demon Realm during his daily grand inspection of heaven and earth.

Rahu silently opened the entrance to the two realms through an extremely sophisticated means of cause and effect. His accurate Dao sign was elusive, and even several sages could not find it.

Entering the realm is quite simple. One can either stir up the seven emotions and six desires to trigger the cause and effect in the dark, or use a good or evil corpse to trigger the cause and effect to enter the realm. There is also an extreme method: one can use one's own flesh and blood and a trace of one's primordial spirit as a support to trigger the demonic path and use the origin of the demonic path to create a body in the demonic realm.

The first two are easy to cross the boundary, requiring only the intervention of the Heavenly Dao. The last one is almost impossible to leave the Demon Realm, as the body created from the origin of the Demonic Path is too deeply bound to the causal relationship of the Demon Realm.

Even so, people continued to flock to the Demon Realm.

There's no other reason than that it brings merit. The Demon Realm is teeming with demons, and for every demon killed, heavenly merit descends. All living beings in the primordial world flock to it, and even the celestial gods and immortals of the Heavenly Court find it hard to extricate themselves, and they all enter the Demon Realm.

It should be known that Heavenly Merit is a true panacea, with a variety of wonderful uses such as improving cultivation and enhancing comprehension. Not to mention that the celestial beings and gods of the Heavenly Court need merit to obtain Primordial Purple Qi.

The celestial beings and gods who ventured there preferred to create physical bodies using the essence of demonic cultivation. Firstly, they were unafraid of death, and secondly, they could rapidly increase their strength in the demonic realm and gain insights into the demonic path. The weaker demons in the demonic realm, lacking suitable cultivation methods, were no match for the celestial beings and gods and were easily harvested.

The demon race reproduces extremely quickly, making them impossible to kill completely.

If one were to enter in their true form, there would be powerful figures in the Demon Realm, posing a risk of death. As for the two corpses of good and evil, most immortals and gods do not possess the cultivation of a quasi-saint.

Ji Yuan felt that Luo Hou was definitely playing some grand scheme. The death of the demons in the Demon Realm would not benefit him at all; it would only deplete the Demon Realm's very essence.

"Then let's enter the Demon Realm together. I imagine our master and the others have been waiting for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Zhiming's evil corpse appeared, triggering a karmic connection that led him into the demon realm.

Ji Yuan, driven by his seven emotions and six desires, followed the cause and effect in the dark and fell into the demon realm. He did not follow the path of the three corpses and never suppressed his own desires. Once his body entered the demon realm, he could do whatever he wanted.

After a period of darkness, Zhi Ming and Ji Yuan had arrived in the Demon Realm.

"Indeed, such a sophisticated method of cause and effect, it is impossible to detect the location of the Demon Realm."

Ji Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration; such a method was truly ingenious.

This was his first time in the Demon Realm. Everywhere he looked, there was a chaotic aura, contrary to the laws of heaven. The landscape was almost identical, except that it was a mix of black and blood, extremely explosive. He looked up at the starry sky of the Demon Realm, where a star shone with divine light.

“Lord Zhiming, please come with me.”

Ji Yuan grabbed Zhi Ming, and with a light step, the Demon Realm continent was instantly reduced to dust, and he arrived at the location of the star.

"Master, Grand Master Uncle, Second Grand Master Uncle, Uncle Jieyin, Uncle Zhunti, and several other fellow Daoists, are you well?"

Ji Yuan greeted him familiarly.

Today, ten saints are accompanying me to explore the Demon Realm. Although I cannot enter the Demon Realm myself, I have sent my evil corpses to help.

"good!"

Everyone nodded.

"Senior Uncle, have you made any discoveries?"

Ji Yuan looked at the evil corpse of Taishang Laojun. Among all the saints, Taishang had gone the furthest on the path of sainthood and was the most likely to see the clues of the demon realm.

The Supreme Lord Laozi frowned, his eyes flashing with countless profound mysteries of the Great Dao as he peered into this demon realm.

"That's not good."

Lao Tzu spoke in a serious tone.

"This demon realm has fused the bodies of at least dozens of Chaos Demon Gods, and... Oh no, Rahu is about to become a saint!"

The eyes of Laozi's evil corpse exploded, and he roared.

Sanctification?

How did Rahu become a saint without even a physical body?

The next moment, the Demon Realm trembled violently, and countless strands of black energy descended, covering the world. A twelfth-grade black lotus bloomed in the center of the Demon Realm, its ultimate destructive intent sweeping across the boundless ten directions, yet also evolving into a trace of the true meaning of creation.

Rahu sat upright on the lotus throne, faintly displaying a majestic and dignified appearance. His form was unpredictable, sometimes dressed in Taoist robes, sometimes transformed into a Buddha, sometimes teaching sentient beings, sometimes a true dragon, and sometimes a mayfly, changing into countless forms and displaying extraordinary divine abilities.

Buddha, demon, Tao, and all the spirits of heaven and earth evolved within him, forming a unified whole, like the Great Way to Heaven.

Ji Yuan's mind raced, and he suddenly realized.

"Master, you should go first. Luo Hou is absorbing that trace of primordial energy from you to evolve the Heavenly Dao and guide that departed Saint!"

At this moment, the aura of the demon realm was tinged with a trace of pure primordial celestial energy. Combined with the primordial yin nature of the demon realm, it was able to guide a celestial saint to descend.

"upbraid!"

The Dao Sound of Creation burst forth from Ji Yuan's mouth, instantly waking the primordial immortals and gods who had been frozen in place by demonic intent. They glanced gratefully at Ji Yuan and immediately activated the Dao of Heaven to escape.

"As expected of the Demon Ancestor Rahu, such methods have truly broadened my horizons."

Despite their opposing stances, Ji Yuan truly admired Luo Hou. His physical body was completely destroyed, and only a wisp of his primordial spirit remained. In the end, he even merged with the calamity energy. He had already reached such a level, yet he was still able to attain enlightenment.

Luo Hou opened his eyes, glanced at Ji Yuan, and his powerful aura swept across the entire Demon Realm. Countless demons cheered for him, which served as proof that when he took the step to become a saint, no one could stop him.

He wants to devour the Heavenly Dao's position to elevate the Demonic Dao and achieve an alternative Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

"Seeing that I have attained enlightenment, you did not flee but instead stayed. It seems that you and I are the same kind of people."
