The First Demon of the Chan Sect

"Is this the cultivation technique of a Dao Chaser?" Li Qingming wandered through Demon Night's vast, smoke-like memories, seemingly discovering something intriguing.

These patches of golden memory, just like the clouds drifting across the sky, were ephemeral and intangible.

Li Qingming probed with the Power of the Primordial Spirit, but found that the surface was densely covered with Tao Runes. No matter how hard he tried, he could not delve any deeper. He could only guess at some traces from the surface of the golden clouds.

"Hmm? Unable to investigate?" Li Qingming felt very curious. Could it be that the magic of these Outer Realm Dao Chasers could directly affect the soul? Otherwise, this situation would not occur.

Always unable to penetrate these golden memories, Li Qingming felt somewhat annoyed and simply ventured in directly with his true Primordial Spirit.

"Hum!"

In the external world, Li Qingming, who was sitting with eyes closed and forming a hand gesture, suddenly emanated a majestic aura, and the endless Saintly Pressure instantly spread in all directions.

Caught off guard, the Quasi-Saints beside Li Qingming, except for a few like Li Qingquan, were all pressed down by this overwhelming aura and plopped down to sit.

Not far away, the Buddha, who seemed to have been forgotten by everyone, was trying to break free from Xuan Tian's spatial shackles. He had just made some progress when he was suddenly pressed down by the Saintly Pressure, plunging straight to the ground.

"Bang!"

The unfortunate Buddha landed face-first. To make matters worse, not only was he unable to break free from Xuan Tian's spatial Binding, but he was also pressed to the ground by Li Qingming's aura, his injuries that were just about to heal got exacerbated.

Unable to accept this reality, the Buddha's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

...

Inside Demon Night's soul.

Li Qingming, having returned, slowly reached out with his true Power of Primordial Spirit and touched those golden clouds.

This time, it went smoothly. The Tao Runes couldn't resist his true Power of Primordial Spirit at all and he almost instantly barged into the golden clouds.

Li Qingming joyfully explored within the golden cloud:

"Nine Demon Body Refining Skill," "Great Soul Prohibition Spell," "Netherworld Vedic Heaven Skill"…

The first patch of golden clouds was almost entirely filled with wondrous Body Refinement and Refining God techniques. Just randomly picking one out could be cultivated to the Saint Realm.

Li Qingming imprinted all these techniques into his Divine Sense, then proceeded to the next patch of golden clouds.

This patch of golden clouds was full of various Forbidden Techniques and Array Dao, almost encompassing all of the Array Dao in the Central Heaven World. Some Arrays, Li Qingming had never even heard of.

The third patch of golden clouds…

...

Time slowly passed, and a full half day went by.

Li Qingming finally withdrew the Power of Primordial Spirit from Demon Night's soul, the memories of Demon Night were simply too colossal. Li Qingming also wanted to gain a detailed understanding of the origins, forces, and so on, of the Outer Realm Dao Chasers, so it took him half a day to memorize everything.

"They indeed come from other Great Thousand Worlds!" A smile appeared on Li Qingming's face. As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be in peril. This was the precious experience left by the ancestors of his previous life in Hua Xia Country.

Previously Li Qingming knew nothing about the Outer Realm Dao Chasers, but now, through this unfortunate Demon Night, he had gained a comprehensive understanding.

Speaking of which, Demon Night is no ordinary character either. His brother is the chief Dao Chaser, the Mountain Lord.

Demon Night and his brother, Mountain Lord, are half-brothers sharing the same father. They were born in a Great Thousand World called the "Mountain and Sea Chaotic Realm."

Their family was originally just a merchant family until they offended a Cultivation Sect, which exterminated their family in one night. If it weren't for Demon Night and Mountain Lord hiding in the basement, they would have likely met the same fate.

In order to take revenge, the brothers joined a Cult Sect and quickly advanced their cultivation through Evil Skills. In a mere ten thousand years, they reached the Quasi-Saint Peak Realm and decimated the once powerful sect, leaving no one in peace, women and children included.

Later, as their realms deepened, they learned of other Great Thousand Worlds within the Universe Chaos Cosmos.

Thus, the brothers began to consciously expand their influence and pursued the Xuanhuang Qi and Spirit of All Worlds that everyone in the Universe Chaos Cosmos yearned for.

Thus began their wandering through the Universe Chaos Cosmos! Along their journey, they subdued any Great Thousand World they could, and those that resisted were violently destroyed.

As a result, countless Central Heaven Worlds perished at their hands, including four Great Thousand Worlds.

As for why Demon Night is here, that's easy to explain!

The last time Mountain Lord visited Pangu's Great Thousand World, he saw potential in this world and wanted to dominate it. Thus, he scattered countless spies and personally stationed his half-brother here to await the arrival of the main forces.

Poor Yoyo, who was lurking here, had his cover blown, and was instead destroyed by Xuan Tian who appeared en route.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, the soul of Demon Night, wrapped in Qing Qi, let out a faint sound and turned into a wisp of Qing smoke, completely dissipating in the Void.

"Hu!" Li Qingming opened his eyes upon hearing the sound and exhaled softly, saying, "Fellow Daoist, are you looking for Xuan Kong or Xuanluo?"

Xuan Tian's eyes flickered with a fierce light as he said, "Both!"

Li Qingming waved his hand and replied, "Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you."

"What do you mean?" Xuan Tian's expression changed as he asked anxiously, "Could it be his memory contains only Xuan Kong or Xuanluo?"

Li Qingming looked at Xuan Tian oddly and said, "If Demon Night's memories are not in disarray, then only Xuan Kong is within the Puppet Spirit Domain. As for Xuanluo . . . he has already been refined into a Saint-level Puppet by Xuan Kong!"

"Saint-level . . . Puppet . . ." Xuan Tian's gaze went blank, and after a long pause, he suddenly burst into loud laughter, "Haha, Xuanluo, oh Xuanluo! On that day, you and Xuan Kong, for the sake of the Realm Master's position, jointly attacked me! Even you have come to this day, did you ever think you would have such a day! Puppet, Puppet! Hahahaha . . ."

"F*ck, you scared me! What's wrong with him?" Li Qingquan, who had been standing beside Li Qingming all along, jumped at the robust laughter and muttered softly.

"Shut up, be polite when you speak!" Li Qingming glared at his brother, then to Xuan Tian who had stopped laughing, he said, "Fellow Daoist! Now that Xuan Kong is the Realm Master of the Puppet Spirit Domain and resides in the Spiritual Domain Holy City, what are your plans?"

Xuan Tian shook his head somewhat dazedly, then suddenly looked up at Li Qingming and asked, "Fellow Daoist, where are you heading?"

"Us?" Li Qingming was startled, then said, "We are heading west, on the Path to Heaven!"

"Sss, the Path to Heaven!" Xuan Tian snapped to attention, surprised as he pointed at Li Qingming and said, "You, you, you are from Pangu's Great Thousand World?"

Li Qingming nodded slightly, saying, "Correct!"

"And you came out via the Wanling Pass?" Xuan Tian continued to inquire.

"That is so!" Shakyamuni answered with hands clasped together.

Xuan Tian fell silent for a while, then said, "I will travel with you! But once we reach the Puppet Spirit Domain, you must help me attain the position of Realm Master!"
