Chapter 520: Chapter 221: What If My Dharmic Dragon Circled the Cultivation Realm Once? (Two-in-One)

The True Demons bore an uncanny resemblance to the beastly creatures Fan Wubing once saw on Eternal Night Snow Mountain.

They lacked the grandeur of towering mountains or the vastness of the mighty seas, yet the will representing Mahayana was unmistakably strong. Eagerly, they emerged from the Obsession Furnace, chanting loudly,

"Today, ascend to immortality, rise and soar immediately!"

"Today, ascend to immortality, rise and soar immediately!"...

They hovered in the air, striding forward, their eyes burning with soul fire, fixated on the distant Profound Wall. They knew their sole mission was to break through that wall, to set foot upon the world and let all feel the suffering of obsession.

Their will swirled in the sky, enveloping all energy and the great Dao.

They looked down on the world, scornful of all beings.

They truly seemed like rulers returned from Hell, exuding an aura of invincibility.

But the next moment, they felt their soul spirits, shaped by obsession, were being eroded.

Furiously, they roared:

"Today, ascend to immortality, rise and soar immediately!"

They used their high-pitched willful cries to chastise those attempting to erode them.

Then, they heard a human voice, "Hmm, not bad, quite spirited, should be diligent when working."

All the True Demons looked toward Fan Wubing, brimming with malevolence, as if combining the evils of all humanity, ready to tear him to shreds.

"Humans! Your obsessions created us! Your sins are countless! Your madness should be condemned! You are the parasites of the world! The destroyers of order! Only through endless, unchangeable cycles of reincarnation can your sins be washed away!"

All the newly born Obsession True Demons charged at Fan Wubing.

A breath later, the fierce beasts turned into obedient puppies, sitting beside Fan Wubing, wagging their tails.

Fan Wubing said with satisfaction, "That’s more like it, what’s the point in fighting to the death? Come, work for me, and together we’ll contribute to the rebirth of the Great Wilderness Cyan Dragon! I promise you, one percent of the harvest will be used to pay you, we split ninety-nine to one!"

Then, over a thousand Mahayana True Demons went to the Sea of Obsession, willingly acting as bridges, continuously transporting obsessions to Fan Wubing.

[Maximum health +1.3 trillion]

[Maximum health +2.9 trillion]

[Maximum health +3.7 trillion]

Obsession is something that cannot be entirely cleansed. As long as cultivators live and hold the obsession of becoming immortals, the Sea of Obsession will never run dry. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Hidden high in the air, with each obsession absorbed, Fan Wubing would experience the cultivating life of the owner of the obsession.

The obsessions in the Sea of Obsession are not only of the current cultivators of the world, but also of the past. More accurately, since the concept of "ascending to immortality" was formed, all obsessions are included.

Thus, Fan Wubing could traverse time, through the cultivating lives of those with obsessions, experiencing a world spanning tens of millions of years ago.

And this period of time was precisely the part missing when he faced the Celestial Snake, in the long river of time.

Through these obsessions,

Fan Wubing was able to see how the Human Race gradually rose from among many beings.

In the late Great Wilderness Era, the human race first discovered the energy of heaven and earth named Immortal Spirit Qi, could be actively absorbed, thus giving birth to the concept of "cultivation". Since then, the human race led the world from the Great Wilderness Era into a new era called the Enlightenment Era.

For millions of years, the human race continually explored and progressed on the Path of Cultivation.

Continuously making mistakes, repeatedly facing natural disasters.

Until the birth of civilization, the concepts of home, country, tribe, and community began to emerge.

Watching the ebb and flow of eras, Fan Wubing was briefly lost, thinking he had returned to Earth. The evolution of time, the change of eras in this world, seemed like a longer, larger-scale Earth. He could only think of one sentence: The world returns to righteousness, all paths converge at the origin.

Gradually, the Human Race explored and sought the Path of Cultivation, calling those who succeeded on this path by the title of deities.

Fan Wubing was able to see some familiar names,

Supreme Jade Emperor, Primordial Celestial Venerable, Celestial Venerable Lingbao, Celestial Venerable of Dao and De, Emperor of the Celestial Palace of Gouchen... Divine General Shen Tu, Divine General Yu Lei, Yue Lao... Fude Zhengshen and a series of other deities’ names.

He felt puzzled that these deities did not exist until the Celestial Court was established fifteen thousand years ago. Why did they exist at the beginning of the Enlightenment Era, millions of years ago? Is it possible that the Celestial Court from fifteen thousand years ago simply imitated the past? Are the titles of True Gods in the Celestial Court merely names borrowed from historical figures?

He thought it was highly likely.

"I mean, the Celestial Court was merely established by the Daoist School, how could they come up with such grand titles for True Gods... Turns out they were just borrowing the names of historical figures from the Enlightenment Era."

He suddenly recalled when he was dealing with the Three-legged Golden Crow’s fire toxin within Man’Er, he had a dream. In the dream, a being suspected to be the Seven Luminaries True Monarch told him a phrase: "Borrow my name, conduct my deeds."

He wondered if the Celestial Court established by the family, under the ancient gods’ names, needed to carry out their deeds.

At the thought of the Seven Luminaries True Monarch, he began searching among many obsessions for any records of his deeds.

However, strangely, among so many obsessions, there were no contents about the Seven Luminaries True Monarch.

"Could it be that the Seven Luminaries True Monarch had another name? But I remember when I first met Xianchan, I came across a Talisman Master who had borrowed the name of the Seven Luminaries to draw talismans... Could it be that these Mahayana cultivators are unaware of him? Is there something amiss here?"
