The Ancestor of All Demons

Deng Yin was sitting upright on the Vajra Spirit Stone, attempting to suppress and refine his Heart Demon.

The Heart Demon, a type of Inner Demon, originates from within; Outer Demons are easy to subdue, but the Heart Demon is difficult to refine.

This is because the Heart Demon is essentially a part of one's own emotions; defeating others is easy, but defeating oneself is too difficult.

People usually don't realize their own mistakes. If everything goes smoothly, they naturally think of themselves as great and powerful. Even when faced with setbacks, they spare no effort in finding excuses for themselves, blaming others, believing they can do no wrong, and even if they make small mistakes, they see them as minor errors, while major mistakes are attributed to others, to the country, to the broader social environment.

Without acknowledging one's own shortcomings and mistakes, it's impossible to overcome one's Heart Demon. Everything is ruled by one's Heart Demon, which revels or rages at will, unbeknownst to the individual.

The higher one's mana, the stronger the Heart Demon. The Buddhist and Daoist teachings emphasize Mental Cultivation, and many who cannot obtain the authentic mental method find after several lifetimes of Cultivation they still cannot subdue their Heart Demon.

The Demon Path from the very start follows one's own nature, putting all effort into becoming stronger.

Never reflecting inwardly, never examining oneself, completely unaware of the Heart Demon's presence.

Deng Yin has Cultivated to the peak of the Demon Path in this world, mastering the complete 'Blood God Scripture'. Undying and Undying, will he admit he was wrong?

In his subconscious, he finds reasonable excuses for everything he's done. These excuses are barriers that support the existence and rampant growth of the Heart Demon!

But he had cultivated the 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture', with the first lesson of Dual Cultivation of Life and Nature being to lock the mind's monkeys and restrain the mind's horses. If the mind's monkeys are not locked, the Primordial Spirit is restless; if the mind's horses are not restrained, Primordial Qi cannot gather. Gathering the mind is to suppress demons, gathering the mind's monkeys is also gathering the Heart Demon.

He had some inner cultivation in this area, so rationally he could see the Heart Demon, cut out the Heart Demon, but emotionally he still found it difficult to conquer the Heart Demon.

As he battled the Heart Demon with his Divine Thought, engaged in fierce struggle, the Seven Demons in his mind wailed, laughed, cursed, sobbed, and made various other sounds, interwoven, causing the listener's heart to be anxious and blood to boil.

Suddenly, a mighty lion's roar echoed, the nine heads of the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits roared with varying tones, layered together, like crashing Heavenly Thunder, directly entering the consciousness.

In Deng Yin's awareness, blue light burst forth, revealing nine blue Spirit Talismans aiming straight for Deng Yin's Primordial Spirit.

The Giant Wood God intended to seal Deng Yin's Primordial Spirit with Spirit Talismans, then cause his Heart Demon to backlash, leading him to self-destruction.

Deng Yin's spirit was greatly shaken; the Heart Demon, his own intention, caused the Primordial Essence and Qi within him to rampage and reverse, instantly boiling his entire bloodstream, with Demon Fire burning from inside outwards.

"Argh!"

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, more pouring from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

"Ah, Yin!" The Princess of Stone God was alarmed by the situation, realizing the Giant Wood God was casting deceitful spells, she hurried to release a swath of Buddha Light to enshroud Deng Yin, chanting... not Shakyamuni or Amitabha Buddha, but her own 'Original Buddha', called the Stone God Buddha.

With the chanting of the 'Buddha's name', sheets of golden Buddha Light burst forth from her body, covering Deng Yin, the two then exchanging divine energy, and then she turned into a humanoid blood light, and plunged into Deng Yin's body.

They had co-cultivated the 'Blood God Scripture' for years, their hearts and energy were interconnected. In Deng Yin's heart, she revealed an avatar of the Fire God Buddha. The human heart is associated with fire, concealing divinity, and Deng Yin's Heart Fire had become Demon Fire, uncontrollably spewing and rampaging, recklessly burning its master.

The 'Fire God Buddha' sat cross-legged amidst the fire, releasing Buddha Light to suppress the Demon Fire.

There was also a 'Wood God Buddha' in the liver, and a 'Golden Body Buddha' in the lungs.

The liver is associated with wood, concealing the soul; the lungs with metal, concealing the spirit, subduing these two areas to specifically stabilize the soul and spirit.

Next, a 'Water God Buddha' appeared in the Kidney Palace. The kidneys are associated with water, concealing essence, and she used this to suppress the Primordial Essence, which was the source of the Demon Fire. Only by suppressing this could the fire of the Demon Fire be confined.

Finally, the 'Stone God Buddha' stabilized the central Spleen Palace.

The spleen is associated with earth, concealing intent. This Witch was truly formidable, possessing both vast divine skills and surpassing intelligence, and the two also shared true love, directly helping Deng Yin to rein in the mind's horse, considering the mind's horse as being in her own stead.

"Ah, Yin!"

With a call filled with deep affection, she pulled Deng Yin out of his chaos, forcing back the nine blue talisman lights of the Giant Wood God.

"It's not so easy to destroy me!"

Deng Yin tied up the mind's monkeys, steadied his position, and then began to cast magic for a counterattack.

According to the proper principle, the Heart Demon arises within oneself, and outsiders are absolutely incapable of helping to suppress it.

But one's beloved can, because their intentions are all with each other. The Princess of Stone God and he had dual-cultivated the 'Blood God Scripture' for many years, capable of exchanging their spiritual energy, with their intentions in mutual connection, unlike with anyone else.

Deng Yin was in unison, together stabilizing the situation.

The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits' lion roar thunder sound continued to roll in, shaking people to their cores and constantly trying to shatter the "Five Elements Buddha" of the Princess of Stone God.

The Giant Wood God was also continuously casting spells, sending five blue talisman seals to seal the Princess of Stone God, while the original nine continued to press heavily and increasingly strongly against Deng Yin.

Deng Yin, being extremely clever, immediately used Heart Demon to deal with the Giant Wood God upon seeing the situation.

Heart Demon represents his negative emotions, his seven emotions and six desires. Though it could entice him and enslave him, only when he seeks tranquility would it create discord with his true self. Normally, they are one, as Heart Demon is part of his mental strength. Now, with external attacks, he adjusted his mindset, deciding to use the seven Heart Demons to attack the external enemy.

This sounds easy, but to truly execute it is extremely difficult; achieving it is one in ten thousand!

The seven Heart Demons fiercely collided with the blue talisman sealing Deng Yin's Primordial Spirit, causing the Giant Wood God, casting spells remotely from Taishan, to feel seven strong emotions impacting his heart.

The dignified son of the Green Emperor, who had already proven himself as a Golden Immortal, was still unable to handle a mere demon from the Human World!

During this period, Deng Yin had been casting spells to compete with him for the Spiritual Body between heaven and earth — truly outrageous!

The Giant Wood God was extremely furious, not only hating Deng Yin but also his father for exiling him here, and hating the Heavenly God for setting such merciless heavenly rules, as well as hating the Great Emperor of Purple Microcosm...

Having reached such a level of cultivation, nothing brings him joy, sorrow, or worry... only anger truly penetrates his heart.

For the stronger one's power, the more arrogant one becomes, unable to tolerate provocation from those weaker.

He looks down on all beings like ants; how can one endure insults or provocations from ants? If it truly happens, surely one will crush them!

Thus, this Anger Demon is something many strong figures find hard to avoid, and the stronger one's power, the easier the Anger Demon erupts.

Deng Yin's Anger Demon is an external demon, causing the Giant Wood God to feel rising anger, which then drives his spiritual energy to transform into his own Anger Demon...

Yet he is ultimately of Golden Immortal level, and upon feeling the anger, immediately regained vigilance, internally cursing the demon and hurriedly severed the connection, calming his mind.

He ceased remote spell-casting interference, and Deng Yin exerted effort to shatter the nine blue talismans sealing his Primordial Spirit, while the Princess of Stone God also shattered her own five seals. Together, they jointly tamed the seven Heart Demons, and with the Blood Buddha Scripture's method of integrating Buddha and Demon, refined them into seven avatars!

Through merging with the Demonic Destruction Treasure Record, both parties' efforts gradually penetrated deeply, gradually causing the bloody aura to fade and change into gold. Originally a bloody figure, now a figure condensed of golden light, surrounded even by a Buddha light-like golden glow.

Deng Yin released the seven avatars, appearing dignified with the appearance like Buddha and Bodhisattva.

Finally, with no mishaps, the Heart Demons were excised, refining seven Buddha avatars, and Deng Yin felt fully content.

Originally, his mana was already cultivated to the Meditative State, and with these seven avatars, his power advanced further, comparably to Iron City Mountain's figure, possibly even surpassing.

"Even if meeting my brother, I have no fear!"

Shi Feiyang always weighed heavily like a mountain on his heart, with an oppressive feeling not unlike that of the Master Chang Mei from those years.

In the past, no matter how hard he tried, how intensely he fought, there was always the senior brother pressing down on him, despite his best efforts and methods, always ending up being disciplined like a child!

Hateful that the senior brother, even after Ascension, still sealed him in the Star Constellations Sea, keeping him in a dark prison for over three hundred years.

Finally, with the senior brother gone, there was Shi Feiyang, supposedly weaker than the senior brother in the past, but calculating too precisely. His demon life and his future seemed arranged by him, despite how he tried or the path he took, he always waited ahead, having dug the pit, smiling and watching him fall!

Now Shi Feiyang's Divine Skills are no weaker than the senior brother nearing Ascension years ago, possibly even stronger, and the oppressive feeling is stronger.

Honestly, he is somewhat afraid of Shi Feiyang, feeling that Shi Feiyang could suddenly come find him at any time, not really dueling but using an unexpected method to utterly control him!

He detests this feeling!

Finally, having these seven Buddha avatars!

Even if you previously took away the Red Flower Princess, preventing me from truly becoming the Blood Sea Demon God, how will it matter? I've found another path, obtained the Demonic Destruction Treasure Record, can refine the Blood Buddha Incarnation, and will "Buddha-transform" this world, cultivating a "Blood God Pure Land".

Let me complete the undertaking Xin Ru Nun couldn't accomplish!

He relaxed internally, feeling the sky bluer and the earth wider, with the mountain weighing on his heart finally moved... perhaps not completely moved, but at least half... or perhaps a third...

He held the Princess of Stone God's hand and said: "This Blood Buddha Scripture is truly formidable, with numerous ingenious methods on it, let's cultivate quickly, first vanquish the son of the Green Emperor, then find that old dragon for accounting!"
