Luohu Preaches the Dao

Yang Mei suddenly felt a boundless, vast aura sweep over her.

Her pupils constricted sharply. Luohu opened a passage to the Demon Realm and stood in the void, demonic energy swirling around her, her aura contained.

Yang Mei's heart trembled, and her voice became stammered, "Luohu, you... you've proven your Dao as a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"

Luohu smiled calmly and nodded slightly, "So it's Fellow Daoist Yang Mei. My opportunity has arrived, and I followed the flow."

Yang Mei stood stunned on the spot. It took a moment before she recovered and cupped her hands in a salute, her tone sincere, "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on attaining the Great Dao!"

Luohu nodded slightly. Now, she was at the fifth heaven of Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, you, Hongjun, Yin Yang, and Qian Kun ganged up to kill me back then. Aren't you going to give me an explanation now?"

Luohu unleashed her aura, demonic energy surging and pressing down fiercely on Yang Mei.

She was a reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God who proved her Dao through killing. Her personality was tyrannical and bloodthirsty. Seeing Yang Mei walk right into her trap, she naturally didn't want to let her off easily.

"Fellow Daoist Luohu, please calm your anger. I was schemed against by Hongjun back then. I implore you, Fellow Daoist, to overlook my transgressions in consideration of our shared status as Chaos Demon Gods. This is a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, consider it my apology to you."

Yang Mei acted decisively. Knowing she was no match for Luohu, she quickly offered a Spiritual Treasure as an apology.

Although she was skilled in Space Law, she was ultimately only a half-step Hunyuan, and Luohu was a Chaos Demon God on the same level as her.

If they were at the same cultivation level, she could still escape, but now, it was impossible.

"Hmm, Fellow Daoist is thoughtful. Since you've offered an Innate Spiritual Treasure, the karma between us is now resolved," Luohu said calmly after accepting the treasure.

She had learned from Chu Feng that the Dao-Demon Conflict was ordained by the Heavenly Dao, so Yang Mei being tricked by Hongjun was understandable.

"Mmm~ Fellow Daoist, did you obtain some fortuitous encounter? I've been stuck at the half-step Hunyuan for a long time. Please help me; I truly wish to advance."

Yang Mei looked at Luohu and humbly asked for guidance. If Luohu were willing to help, she could save at least hundreds of thousands of years of arduous cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Luohu curved her lips into a smile.

"Very well, follow me to the Demon Realm. In consideration of our shared status as Chaos Demon Gods, I will preach the Dao for you for a thousand years."

Yang Mei's heart leaped in surprise. She hadn't expected Luohu to be so agreeable. She thought, Could this person have a scheme? Is she trying to lure me to her territory to kill me?

Yang Mei knew Luohu's personality too well.

She was vengeful, tyrannical, and bloodthirsty. Few who offended her ended up well.

Seeing Yang Mei hesitate, Luohu waved her hand and issued a dismissal: "If Fellow Daoist Yang Mei feels I would do you harm, then this matter of preaching the Dao is over. Please return."

Huh?

She's just letting me go?

It seemed Luohu's personality had changed. She didn't want to miss this opportunity and cupped her hands in a salute, "Fellow Daoist, I had no such intention. Very well, I shall impose upon you for a while."

"Please."

A faint smile curled at the corners of Luohu's mouth as she led Yang Mei into the Demon Realm.

The moment Yang Mei entered the Demon Realm, Luohu instantly unleashed her aura, pressing down on Yang Mei while simultaneously sealing the passage.

Yang Mei was startled and shouted, "Luohu, what is the meaning of this? I trusted you so much. Are you going back on your word, completely disregarding our bond as Chaos Demon Gods, and intending to kill me?"

A smile played on Luohu's lips as she said, "Kill you? I have no such intention. I'm just displeased with you right now and want to beat you up."

As soon as the words fell, Luohu instantly unleashed her aura, firmly restraining Yang Mei and casting her Dao technique.

Yang Mei's heart jolted. Although she wanted to escape, under the absolute disparity in strength, she couldn't break through Luohu's confinement at all and could only let Luohu attack her.

After fighting for a long time, Luohu seemed to feel she hadn't vented enough. She took out a Spiritual Treasure whip and lashed out fiercely.

"Ah~"

Yang Mei let out a miserable cry that echoed throughout the Demon Realm.

One day later.

Luohu put away the Spiritual Treasure, a smile on her lips, "I feel much better now, Fellow Daoist Yang Mei. Next, I will preach the Dao to you."

Yang Mei: ???

What kind of operation was this?

She beat me up and now she's going to preach to me?

Does she have a screw loose?

Luohu chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, where in the world is there a free lunch? I beat you up to vent my anger, consider it payment for preaching the Dao to you."

Yang Mei rolled her eyes upon hearing this, thinking, As expected, Luohu is still the same old Luohu, insidious, cunning, and vengeful.

If Chu Feng were present, he would definitely give Hongjun a thumbs-up.

No wonder Hongjun said Luohu wasn't a good person back then.

Good heavens, with this personality, she was undoubtedly a black lotus.

"Let's go. I've prepared spiritual fruits to help you prove your Dao."

Luohu smiled calmly, flashed, and left. Yang Mei bowed slightly and followed closely behind.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, our paths of cultivation are different. I can only explain based on my Dao."

Luohu was still confident. She was, after all, at the fifth heaven of Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Even if her Dao was different from Yang Mei's, she was confident she could help Yang Mei achieve enlightenment.

Luohu's gaze sharpened, and she released her aura, speaking slowly, "The Great Dao is formless and shapeless. The strong prey on the weak; this is its essence. Rather than clinging to illusory rules, it's better to face the cruelty head-on and break through all difficulties with a demonic heart!

In my eyes, is not the righteousness and morality espoused by the orthodox path also an illusion?

The myriad heavens and realms, all phenomena in the world are empty. Only strength is eternal!"

As Luohu preached, Dao Charm emanated from her, enveloping the entire Demon Realm.

Yang Mei listened quietly. Although the laws she cultivated were different from Luohu's, she could still gain inspiration from it.

The Primordial World does not count years, and time is worthless. In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, have you gained any insights?" Luohu opened her eyes and asked.

Yang Mei blinked and sighed, shaking her head slightly, "Fellow Daoist, your killing intent is too heavy, and you are too fixated on winning or losing."

Luohu sneered, looked at Yang Mei, and retorted, "If one cannot win, what karma or human hearts can be proven? If killing is not used to restrain killing, how can one comprehend the Great Dao and go further?"

Luohu slowly stood up, her voice low and filled with supreme pressure, "Before the Calamity of Heaven's Opening in ancient times, chaos was undifferentiated, and the universe was not yet settled. We, the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, roamed freely, living quite happily."

She paused, seemingly lost in thought, and spoke slowly, "During the Calamity of Heaven's Opening, Pangu, disregarding all sentiment, fought alone against us three thousand Demon Gods. Countless fellow Daoists became stepping stones on Pangu's path to enlightenment.

In the end, although Pangu broke the law with power, he was also schemed against by the Great Dao and died of exhaustion, his body transforming into the Primordial World."

Yang Mei sighed softly. Luohu's words stirred her memories. During the Calamity of Heaven's Opening, she had narrowly escaped and reincarnated into the Primordial World.

She never expected that the Great Dao of Yang seemed to have vanished, and she had actually taken the form of a woman.

Chaos God-Demons and Innate Beings originally had no gender. To have taken the form of a woman was truly inconceivable.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei, conforming to one's true heart is the way. The three thousand Great Daos all lead to the same destination. Do you understand?"

Having spoken, Yang Mei seemed lost in thought. Suddenly, the Demon Realm trembled, and the Space Law erupted from Yang Mei's body
