Is the cultivation world now only populated by demonesses?

Chapter 101.100. The Art of Transforming the Five Desires and Six Dusts into the Mind (5k)

Lu Changyuan dragged his body, step by step, toward the palace of the Underworld King.

Sundials obscure the secrets of heaven, while moondials trace back to the past.

The sundial could ensure that he retained his sanity for the time being, enough to sustain him until he reached the long road to his death.

Following the River Styx forward, the Underworld Palace comes into view.

Lu Changyuan, his demonized, enormous body approached step by step, knocking down the dying ruins.

"The demonization is quite interesting."

This feeling was quite novel, as if my body was about to no longer belong to me.

"It's disgusting."

Lu Changyuan reached out and chopped off the other hand that was about to grow back on his body.

Actually, saying that he was possessed by lust is not quite accurate.

To be more precise, half of his body had already been tainted by lust, so he had a way of becoming a second lustful demon.

That's why the lust demon chose him, and then tried every means to break through Lu Changyuan's Supreme Ruthlessness, and finally devised a plan to take Lu Changyuan's body.

"You know, we're old friends, why are you being so polite?"

Lu Changyuan squinted and laughed: "If you want my body, just say so, don't beat around the bush."

A strange roar came from Lu Changyuan's body.

It was a howl that seemed to encompass the thoughts of all living beings.

boom!
Lu Changyuan ripped open the door of the prison and plunged his massive body into it.

He wasn't actually feeling very well.

The half-body of the succubus wanted to take over his body, devour his original consciousness, and thus be born into the world.

The problem remains the same: having lost the "Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique," Lu Changyuan actually doesn't have many ways to stop the lustful demons.

The demon of desire has existed in the human world for millions of years, hiding in the heart of every person. It is not so easy to deal with.

Lu Changyuan squinted, and his legs began to mutate, turning into bloated, disgusting, and festering giant pillars.

The moondial began to crackle and pop, teetering on the verge of collapse.

It's still quite difficult for an unclaimed magical artifact to resist the lustful demon.

Lu Changyuan felt his mind begin to become chaotic, with all six senses entering his mind. Even with the power of severing thoughts, he still could not stop his thoughts from spreading.

The first thing that came was greed. Suddenly, many copper coins appeared on Lu Changyuan's left hand and were embedded in his skin, turning his arm into soil for cultivating copper coins. It looked extremely terrifying.

Next comes lust.

A gentle, fragrant breeze wafted by.

The scent of sandalwood wafted into my nostrils.

"Young Master Lu, would you like to take Youwan's body?"

Su Youwan appeared in front of Lu Changyuan at some point, dressed in a light blue gauze robe with a suspended interior, revealing a view of his white jade-like skin.

Her delicate, icy body coiled around her like a snake.

The girl whispered lewd words in Lu Changyuan's ear, which, combined with her pure and innocent appearance, made her seem even more depraved.

Not only that, but after seeing that Lu Changyuan didn't even glance at her.

Su Youwan chuckled, removed the blue veil, and then covered her eyes.

"In this way, whatever Young Master Lu does to Youwan, Youwan won't be able to see it."

Lu Changyuan remained indifferent.

Still walking step by step with a weary body.

He's going down a dead end.

The desire for fame and the desire for food come together.

Hunger and the desire for fame tightly bound Lu Changyuan.

I want to stop. I want to stop.

Lu Changyuan suddenly opened his mouth and bit down on his left hand, which was already covered in copper coins.

Flesh and blood flew.

The copper coin fell to the ground, rolled around, and eventually shed its outer layer, turning into a piece of scarlet flesh.

"That's all the tricks they have."

Although Lu Changyuan was dizzy and lightheaded from the torment, he still said so.

Finally, sleepiness arrives.

This is the last of the five desires.

Suddenly, a cacophony of voices rang in Lu Changyuan's ears.

"You've ruled the world for a thousand years, aren't you tired yet?"

"You've done enough for the world, it's time to rest, and you want to rest too, don't you?"

"If you don't want to rest, why don't you go back to the Daoist sect and have a good talk with your disciple? She will understand."

"You never wanted to care about this world anymore, did you?"

Amidst countless voices, a figure in a white dress slowly emerged.

Her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and her voice was pleasant.

Xia Lianxue stepped forward and gently stroked Lu Changyuan's head. Lu Changyuan felt as if he had stepped into the softest clouds and was about to fall asleep.

The fairy in the white dress said, as if a wife were pleading with her husband to relieve his fatigue, "Young master, it's time to rest."

Lu Changyuan paused for a moment.

The sundial suddenly exploded, eventually turning into fragments that gradually merged into Lu Changyuan's body.

The lustful demon found one of Lu Changyuan's few weaknesses, and thus lust and sleepiness came together.

It wanted to completely render Lu Changyuan powerless, hide Lu Changyuan's consciousness deep within this body, and then slowly erase it over time.

Su Youwan hugged Lu Changyuan from behind without him noticing, her ethereal laughter as melodious as a wind chime.

Is there any desire in the long road ahead?

There is.

Cultivators will inevitably have desires. Before attaining enlightenment, Lu Changyuan's greatest desire is actually to go home.

After all his memories returned, Lu Changyuan finally remembered his origins.

He was indeed a time traveler; otherwise, the word "game" wouldn't exist in his memories. The Desire Demon was able to manipulate the game's memories precisely because he read his memories.

Eighteen hundred years ago, he came to the world of cultivation, and his family lost an ordinary office worker, Lu Changyuan, while the world of cultivation gained a little doctor.

His innate talent was ordinary; it wasn't something that was created, but rather that he was naturally of ordinary talent, which is why he only embarked on the path of immortality at the age of fifty.

Xia Lianxue was not some fiancée given away in a game, but a real girl next door.

Everything is real.

Lu Changyuan took one step at a time and quickly integrated into this world.

Although his innate talent was poor, he had a long road ahead and good luck. Opportunities came one after another, and he even found a way to circumvent the laws of heaven and return to the mortal world to enter Yao Guang.

But gradually, as his cultivation level increased, Lu Changyuan found that he could no longer go back.

As Sun Moon Palace Master Su Wuxiang and Lu Changyuan get to know more and more people, their bonds become heavier and heavier.

These all became reasons why Lu Changyuan could not go back.

The Supreme Being is ruthless; the taste of home grows ever more distant, while the treacherous schemes and betrayals among cultivators draw ever closer.

Therefore, Lu Changyuan's desires changed later.

One by one, the people he knew became obsessed, and Lu Changyuan's desires eventually turned into thoughts that no one else dared to even think about.

He desires peace and tranquility in the world.

The chaos should come to an end.

Who doesn't live in Chang'an?

Who did he kill?

Along with this came another overwhelming desire—he wanted to kill the lust demon.

Who could stop him from killing the lust demon?

He kills everyone.

Lu Changyuan has done enough.

He is so tired now, a weariness that comes from the depths of his soul.

"It's time to rest. Come with me, and we'll go slay the demon again after you wake up, okay?"

A soft voice rang out, and another figure appeared before Lu Changyuan. Dressed in magnificent robes and wearing a glass crown, her eyes were like a painting, as beautiful as a pure lotus atop the Tianshan Mountains.

This is the Lord of the Sun and Moon Palace.

He was also the person Lu Changyuan admired most when he was not yet in a position of power.

She reached out her hand to Lu Changyuan, as if by holding those hands tightly, Lu Changyuan could return to the past, to the days when he, the Lord of the Sun and Moon Palace, and Su Wuxiang roamed the world together.

so tired.

I really want to rest.

Lu Changyuan's knees suddenly bent, and he knelt on the ground.

My eyelids felt like they were carrying a huge weight and were about to close.

Those illusory shadows surrounded him, as if inviting Lu Changyuan into a sweet, dreamlike state from which he didn't want to escape.

"Master, you can leave the world to me. You should rest."

Just then, another figure appeared in front of Lu Changyuan.

It was an excessively beautiful face, cold yet aloof, mysterious yet full of profound meaning.

She was also completely naked, her stunning beauty radiating grace and poise, seemingly unconcerned about being observed by Lu Changyuan. "With me protecting this world, all living beings can be assured of peace."

Lu Changyuan was startled.

He looked up and saw that it was indeed the Daoist sect leader, his only disciple.

"You're awake? Master, prepare to die!"

Lu Changyuan noticed an undisguised murderous intent in the beautiful woman's eyes.

So, instinctively, I reached for the point of severing ties.

"You've become this powerful? Even the appearance of the Desire Demon that it created has to bear the consequences and be affected by you?"

No one answered that the road was long.

next moment.

The phantom images shattered completely.

Lu Changyuan breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

Because he had already passed through the door to the dead end.

He has entered a dead end.

~~~~~~~~~~~
The Underworld is a very special place.

Dead ends are even more exceptional.

Those who walk the path to death are guilty; those who walk the path to death can be pardoned.

This is a road surrounded by deep, dark energy, whose destination and length are unknown.

"finally reached."

Lu Changyuan murmured, then made a jaw-dropping move.

He voluntarily gave up resisting, leaving only a wisp of thought, allowing the lust demon to possess his body. The thought transformed into a spirit, standing on the path to death, while his body was completely devoured by the lust demon.

Lu Changyuan took two steps forward and disappeared completely into the dead end before turning back to look at his own body.

The original body was now completely possessed by the lust demon, and that indescribable black lust began to writhe and turn, finally being reborn from the darkness.

And so, another long road was born from that body.

Unlike Lu Changyuan in the past, the eyes of the lustful Lu Changyuan were filled with a frenzied scarlet.

It seemed somewhat surprised, astonished that Lu Changyuan had given up resisting so quickly, but in the next instant, its body rose into the air, as if it wanted to leave from behind.

boom!
A dull thud, as if he had crashed into an invisible wall, was followed by an irresistible force that slammed down, slamming Lu Changyuan's body back to the ground, where he landed awkwardly on the cold, dead road.

The lust demon scrambled to its feet and turned around, its crimson eyes fixed on the direction it had come from, trying to find the dead end that Lu Changyuan had entered through. But behind it, there was only the same darkness as before.

The dead-end door has disappeared.

The spirit that Lu Changyuan had transformed into floated there quietly, watching the lustful demon's futile attempts, his tone calm and unwavering: "Have you realized you can't get out? That's for sure. This is a dead end. You took my body and became a tangible human, so you can only leave by walking this dead end. The rules of the Underworld Lord must be obeyed, even if you are a demon from beyond the heavens, once you have become human."

The lust demon let out a low growl, it had not yet fully adapted to Lu Changyuan's body.

Soon, it suddenly looked up and stared intently at Lu Changyuan.

"What? Not used to your new body?"

Lu Changyuan transformed into an illusory spirit, so the lust demon could not see his expression.

"When you were a lustful demon, you had no physical form and were not affected by most laws. Even the Yao Guang Law had a hard time touching you. But now that you have become human, there are many more constraints."

Before reaching the dead end, the demon of desire cannot escape.

The lust demon seemed to be enraged by Lu Changyuan's calm attitude. It roared and drove Lu Changyuan's body to gather monstrous demonic energy, slapping Lu Changyuan's spirit body hard with its palm.

With a bang.

Lu Changyuan's spirit body vanished like smoke in an instant, but the moment it completely disappeared, the surrounding nether energy rippled slightly, and the illusory spirit body re-condensed from nothingness, standing perfectly intact in place, as if it had never been attacked.

"You can't kill me, this is the underworld."

That being said...

But now Lu Changyuan is just a spirit, and has almost no way to snatch his body back from the lust demon.

The lust demon could not kill him, but since it had already taken Lu Changyuan's body, there was no need to kill Lu Changyuan. As long as he walked the path to death, he could leave this place.

Now that the lustful demon has become Lu Changyuan, with that body, even if he can't finish walking the dead end for the time being, he can walk it slowly.

In a few decades or a hundred years, they will eventually be able to get out.

As for the long road ahead, this thought can only remain forever on the dead road, losing its true nature under the constant permeation of deathly energy over the years.

Having figured this out, the lustful demon stopped worrying about how far the road was and instead slowly walked down the path to his death.

Lu Changyuan said sarcastically, "So ruthless? We've known each other for a long time. Aren't you curious why I, despite being so weak, was still able to resist your influence for a while?"

At the very beginning, Lu Changyuan did not use the sundial, yet he was still able to maintain consciousness.

This was indeed strange, but the Desire Demon felt that this was the strength that Lu Changyuan should have possessed.

A bone-chilling wind suddenly swept across the dead-end road.

The lust demon stood frozen in place, seemingly trapped, unable to take a single step.

Lu Changyuan's voice came from near and far: "Finally found out? I do not have the 'Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique' in my body, but there is something else."

The succubus's body twisted again, howling as if it had discovered something strange.

Lu Changyuan remained unhurried: "Do you really think I haven't made any preparations? Do you think that just because I have a memory of a game, I won't doubt the blood-written words in my eyes?"

What a joke.

In the world of cultivation, there is never a free lunch.

The lustful demon struggled, even rolling back and forth on the road to death.

It wanted to leave Lu Changyuan's body.

But they found that it was no longer up to them.

"You can't escape."

Lu Changyuan's laughter rang out: "Have you ever wondered why I didn't start over after breaking the 'Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique'?"

Lu Changyuan had already cultivated this supreme mental cultivation method to its peak, but he had to abandon it after enduring a heavenly tribulation. However, abandoning it does not mean that he cannot cultivate it again.

As the creator of this technique, it wouldn't be difficult for Lu Changyuan to relearn it, at least not when he first started.

However, from the moment the "Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique" was shattered until he entered the Underworld, Lu Changyuan showed absolutely no intention of re-cultivating this technique.

"When the River Styx was upside down in my eyes, all I saw was nothingness."

The sound of raindrops seemed to match the rhythm of Lu Changyuan's speech, giving his voice a slightly sinister quality.

"Just as I expected, the path I want to cultivate is nothingness, and the essence of nothingness is to devour other existences."

The lustful demon is still struggling.

It plotted for a century, fought against the Heavenly Dao and finally won. It finally obtained a perfect body, so it smuggled itself here. Now it finds that this body has become a prison that locks it in.

Can't go back.

It can no longer return to the outer heavens.

In the end what happened?
"Don't be so angry. Anyway, it's not like I can kill you. Why don't you just give me this part of your main body as a gift?"

As long as a cultivator's desires are not extinguished, the demon of desire will never die.

Lu Changyuan smiled faintly: "I have to thank the Underworld Lord. I originally planned to stay here for another hundred years, slowly devour you, and then leave. Now it seems that it is not necessary to go through so much trouble."

The lustful demon finally realized it had been tricked.

While it was scheming against Lu Changyuan, Lu Changyuan was also scheming against it.

It wants to eat the long road.

Lu Changyuan also wanted to eat it.

An inexplicable suction force tightly bound it. The lust demon was composed of the five desires of man, but now these five desires were being broken down inch by inch and finally absorbed little by little by Lu Changyuan's body.

There is some kind of cultivation technique operating unattended within this body.

"I used to practice the 'Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique' which eliminates desires. Now I don't plan to practice eliminating desires anymore. Instead, I want to see what the path of releasing desires is like."

If Lu Changyuan had a physical body, the lust demon would be able to see that Lu Changyuan's eyes were incredibly bloodshot, making him even more like the lust demon.

"Coincidentally, I know how to create a new method for releasing desires. By the way, what do you think we should call this method?"

Mocking voices continued to emanate: "I haven't named this method yet. Since it was taken from you, you have the right to name it."

Ding dong, ding dong.

Lu Changyuan's laughter was extremely grating.

When Lu Changyuan was in Shangyujing, he had already begun to practice the "Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique" in reverse. As the strongest method to eliminate desires in the world, the new technique he practiced in reverse was equally terrifying.

The effect of the "Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique" is to prevent all demons from invading and to keep the mind clear.

What about practicing in reverse?
Naturally, it is to devour all desires under heaven!

When the lust demon descended upon Lu Changyuan's body, it initially did not notice anything amiss, assuming that Lu Changyuan was resisting it. However, it was only after Lu Changyuan left the body that it suddenly realized that Lu Changyuan's body was actually devouring "lust".

Lu Changyuan's original plan was to stay in his body, fight against the Desire Demon, and devour it. But now that the Underworld Lord has given him extremely convenient authority, he can jump out of his body and unleash his power to the maximum extent.

This is naturally not good news for the lustful demon.

The sound of chewing suddenly rang out in the darkness.

creak.

creak.

Lu Changyuan seemed to be chewing something in his mouth, and he murmured, "Let you be the foundation of my new law."

It was created by reversing the practice of the "Supreme Pure Spirit Forget Immortal Technique" and using the desire demon as its operating principle, thus giving birth to the second strongest mental cultivation method in the human world.

The Secret to Transforming the Mind Through the Five Desires and Six Dusts

The five desires burn the heart like a burning house, and the six dusts obscure the eyes like clouds and haze.

Having attained the Bodhi realm of spiritual enlightenment, one can cultivate lotuses amidst the flames, reflecting their image on a mirror.
