The Fetal Membrane Plan Restarts and the Asuras Are Born
A century has passed since the first lecture.
Thirty-Three Layered Heavens.
After returning to the Heavenly Realm from hearing the Dao, Taiyi's heart was filled with turmoil, and many other Demon Clan shared the same sentiment.
Although the opportunity to become Earth Dao Saint is rare, this is no longer the time before the Dao Ancestor preached.
Initially limited by the laws of heaven and earth, everyone could not advance beyond the Great Luo Peak in their cultivation. After Dao Ancestor's teachings, they all followed his path to break through their current realms.
Even if people cannot become saints now, they can still seek the proof of the Hunyuan Great Luo.
A century has passed, and Taiyi has finally made up his mind. He believes in the Earthly Dao morality and virtue from the bottom of his heart, but it is ultimately a step away from the path of kingship and hegemony that he pursues.
The intense True Sun Fire energy emanating from him clashed with the heavy Earth Qi.
Kunpeng, who was also listening to the Dao in the Hall of Reincarnation, had the same feeling as Taiyi. He was burdened with the Dao of the Northern Darkness and was skilled in spatial travel and Chaos travel. Although he had some understanding of the Earthly Dao, it was not the core of his cultivation.
He found it difficult to give up the opportunity to become a saint, yet he also felt that this path did not align with his true nature, making it hard to make a decision.
Just then, a group of people arrived outside his hall. They were some of the elite Demon Clan who had failed to enter the Hall of Reincarnation to hear the teachings.
Six Demon Saint— Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Jiu Ying, Ci Tie, Fei Lian, and Shang Yang— were prominently listed, along with many powerful demon kings with exceptional cultivation.
They came here to ask them how to proceed, since they had lost their chance to become saints and the Chaos Fetal Membrane Plan had stalled. They wanted to find a goal for themselves, otherwise, while others were working hard, they would be idle and fall behind.
After hearing their explanation of their purpose, Kunpeng had his own ideas.
He is the demon Demon Master recognized by the Demon Clan. This title is not undeserved; it is earned through his numerous contributions to the Demon Clan race and the widespread recognition he has received.
Their arrival immediately tipped the scales in Kunpeng's mind to the other side.
So Kunpeng decided to seek support from Eastern Emperor first. He and Taiyi had fought side by side many times and had a deep friendship. He believed that Donghuang would provide support for some reasonable requests.
Upon arriving at the Eastern Emperor Palace, Kunpeng explained the requests of Ji Meng and the other Demon Saint and demon kings, and also expressed his own thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Taiyi seemed quite pleased, smiling as he said to Kunpeng, "It seems great minds think alike. Demon Master, I also believe that Earth Dao Saint is not what I seek, and I was just undecided. Your request has come at the perfect time, allowing me to make my decision."
Kunpeng was surprised that things went so smoothly, and from Taiyi's words, he seemed to be willing to give up competing for the Earth Spirit Origin Qi.
Kunpeng nodded slightly and said, "Although this opportunity is good, a large number of our Demon Clan's sons were not selected."
Instead of letting them waste their energy and time on those few spots, let's find another way.
Taiyi's golden eyes lit up as he looked at Kunpeng: "What does the Demon Master mean...?"
Kunpeng said in a deep voice, "Let's revive the Chaos Fetal Membrane Plan!"
Previously, the Fetal Membrane Plan was forced to be temporarily suspended because the Houtu Saint attracted everyone's attention with the Earth Spirit Origin Qi.
However, Your Majesty should know that this plan was originally proposed by Dao Venerable Jiang Yun with great foresight, aiming to stabilize the Primordial World and broaden our path to explore the Depths of Chaos.
"Currently, the Heavenly Court still has a group of people who are skilled in Formations, familiar with the void, loyal and unselected by the Hall of Reincarnation. They are exactly the kind of people we can use!"
He stepped forward, his voice low but each word clear. "Our Demon Clan cannot place our hopes on one place; we should make more plans."
His Your Majesty Di Jun can sit in the central command, oversee the construction of the northern lands, and control the overall situation of the Heavenly Court; while His Eastern Emperor Your Majesty and his ministers will personally lead this group of elites who were not selected or were unwilling to Earthly Dao to restart the construction of the Fetal Membrane Great Formation!
Firstly, it preserves a path for our Demon Clan to advance towards the Hunyuan Great Luo Primordial World, unaffected by the disturbances of the Earthly Dao Sainthood. Secondly, if the Fetal Membrane Plan succeeds and breaks through the Heavenly Dao Barrier, we can be called pioneers, and at that time, we will benefit all those in the prehistoric world who aspire to explore Chaos. Moreover, the Merit and fortune of the Chaos Fetal Membrane Great Formation, which constantly absorbs and releases Primordial World Chaos Qi to nourish the prehistoric world, may not be weaker than the merit and Fortune of sorting out a region's Earth Veins.
Moreover, only a great Primordial World clan like ours has the manpower and resources to implement this method, and the credit for it is clearly attributable, resting entirely on Your Majesty and your followers!
Upon hearing Taiyi felt a surge of pride and ambition; this was the path he, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, should take!
Riding the Sun Star Chariot, wielding the Eastern Emperor Bell, traversing the heavens and chasing the sun, venturing deep into Chaos, seeking unparalleled opportunities!
He said loudly:
The Demon Master's words are exactly what I wanted to say!
"Let's go, let's see our Elder Brother right away!"
Inside the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Di Jun listened to Taiyi and the Demon Master's well-organized explanations. The River Diagram and Luo Shu slowly unfolded before Di Jun, its star trails reflecting his contemplative face.
"Elder Brother," Taiyi's clear and firm voice broke the silence in the hall, "The Earthly Dao described by the Saint Houtu that Bearing Things with Vast Virtue, and life and death Reincarnation, but his Dao and my origin are ultimately not the same."
The Earthly Dao are indeed vast, but they are not the path my heart seeks.
Di Jun's deep eyes were fixed on Taiyi. He still wanted to advise him, "You must know that the Earthly Dao Sainthood is a rare opportunity that is hard to come by again."
"Even if it's hard to find and doesn't suit my taste, what good is becoming a saint! It's better to be Hunyuan Great Luo Immortal, free and unrestrained!"
These words caused a slight commotion among His Highness's courtiers.
Demon Master Kunpeng took a step forward, his voice steady:
Your Majesty is wise!
As the Eastern Emperor said, the Earthly Dao is not the only way through; the Chaos contains endless possibilities.
The Heavenly Dao Barrier prevent us from delving deeper into the Chaos, a deep-seated problem for those of us who seek the Dao.
The Fetal Membrane Plan is the foundation of the Primordial World and the key to breaking down barriers. I am willing to assist the Eastern Emperor in restarting this grand plan for the ages!
Di Jun lightly tapped the Armrest of the imperial throne with his fingertips, and the phantoms of the River Diagram and Luo Shu appeared and disappeared around him, as if all the Heavenly Secrets were flowing and being deduced within them.
His gaze swept over the resolute Taiyi and Kunpeng, then over the many Demon God in the hall, deep in thought.
"What you say makes sense," Di Jun finally spoke. "Since my brother aspires to the Chaos, and the Demon Master is also interested in it and is well-versed in the Dao of the Void, then I will grant your wish."
Restart the Chaos Fetal Membrane Plan, with the Two you in full charge, Taiyi as the lead Kunpeng as the assistant!
That's it!
Taiyi and Kunpeng bowed solemnly at the same time. "We obey!"
Di Jun continued to issue decrees, his words clear and logical. "I hereby appoint seven more Demon Saint — Ji Meng, Jiu Ying Zhao, Ghost Car, Bi Fang, Shang Yang, and Qin Yuan —along with those under your command who are skilled in Formations, space, and Restriction, to all obey the orders of the Eastern Emperor!"
The expansion of the Northern Primordial Desolation relies entirely on the Heavenly Cycle Stars Great Formation to Jieyin the Star Power. Furthermore, all materials needed for the Fetal Membrane Plan from various departments of the Heavenly Court can be allocated with priority!
He raised his hand, and a jade talisman flew toward Kunpeng: "With this talisman, you can mobilize the manpower, resources, and reserves of Chaos Spirit Materials of the Heavenly Court's Heavenly Works Hall!"
Demon Master, you are in charge of the overall coordination and management of this matter.
"Your subject obeys the decree!" Kunpeng deftly accepted the jade token, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"You must remember that the Demon Court must also take advantage of the opportunity to access the Earthly Dao passages, and manpower and resources cannot be entirely entrusted to you."
Since the two strategies are to be implemented in parallel, the Fetal Membrane Plan must first implement the 'elite strategy'.
We do not seek to completely cover the Fetal Membrane in a short time, but rather to use our elite forces to achieve breakthroughs at key junctures, opening the door to the Depths of Chaos for our race's most powerful fighting force!
Taiyi replied, "Excellent! This is a brilliant idea! A well-prepared strategy with elite troops, using a specific point to influence the whole, is exactly what I wanted!"
Kunpeng also solemnly replied, "Your Majesty's plans are profound and far-sighted; we will certainly do our utmost!"
With the elite strategy set, Taiyi and Kunpeng accepted the order and immediately began selecting Demon Saint and capable cultivators to prepare for the restart of the Fetal Membrane Great Formation.
Although the manpower was not as abundant as initially planned, this small team, which brought together the elite forces of the Heavenly Court, had a clear objective and greatly improved efficiency.
After the lecture, the focus of the Primordial World masses shifted to the Northern Region. However, at this moment, in the depths of the Netherworld Blood Sea, which was extremely yin and filthy, a different scene unfolded.
The Ancestor Minghe did not set foot in the northern lands; after the first lecture, he went straight back to his lair.
The Netherworld Blood Sea, with its towering waves of blood, is a confluence of billions of years of filth.
Minghe sat cross-legged atop the Karma Red Lotus, gazing upon this unique world that continuously absorbed the endless negative energy of the Primordial World, yet remained a self-contained system. A grand plan grew increasingly clear in his mind.
The Origin of Earth is explained thoroughly, and the Reincarnation Law also clarifies Karma. The core of the Minghe Way lies in "absorbing impurities" and "transforming." The correct way is to combine one's own Way with the Earthly Dao!
"People in the world vie for worldly achievements, but I should practice the virtue of seclusion in the Earthly Dao!" Minghe muttered to himself, his blood-red eyes gleaming.
Yin-Yang complement each other, Clear and Turbid Qi are in balance.
The Blood Sea is the final destination of the Primordial World filth and defilement, and also the starting point of purification and reincarnation!
However, relying solely on the Blood Sea's own gravity to passively absorb it was too inefficient, leading to the accumulation of filth and impurities throughout the Primordial World, like a skin disease.
If I can actively guide this process, so that all the filth of the Primordial World worlds can be led, transformed, and purified by my Blood Sea... the magnitude of this achievement is enough to be recorded in the annals of the Earthly Dao!
"The Blood Sea expands, encompassing all the filth of the Primordial World, forging a vast net of defilement, concealing turbidity within purity—this is the supreme foundation for attaining Sainthood!"
To realize this "Filth Source Network" that covers the Primordial World and actively draws in pollutants, a large number of people are needed to meticulously lay out and maintain the nodes; it is by no means something that he alone can accomplish.
He pondered in his heart, recalling Nuwa Creates Humans's immeasurable Merit in creating humans and becoming a saint, Houtu's Reincarnation of Houtu and the introduction of many races to establish the Reincarnation Order, Zhenyuanzi's creation of the Earth Immortal lineage to sort out the Earth Veins and achieve Sainthood. An idea ignited in his heart and took shape: Creation! To emulate Nuwa's creation!
We should emulate the holy deeds, create a race, and assist me in ruling the Blood Sea and spreading the gospel throughout the Primordial World!
The thought suddenly popped into my head.
Within the Blood Sea lies the flesh and blood of demons and gods since the Heaven-Opening Pangu, the Bloodline and fragments of Remnant Soul left behind by all living beings after their deaths, and endless Grievance and Malice energy—truly an excellent material for creation!
The fervor in Minghe's eyes intensified. He suddenly raised his hands, Twelve-grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus erupted with a terrifying crimson light!
"Born here, destiny is in my hands!"
Now, with the Blood Sea as its womb, and bearing the power of the source of filth, a race is born!
Based on the Blood Sea, guided by the Remnant Soul countless souls, and drawing upon the Reincarnation Law Earthly Dao, the Creation Clan will become my ally in wielding the filthy network!
Asura, come forth!
The Minghe roared, its sound like Nine Netherworlds thunder rolling across the nine netherworlds!
Boom!
The entire Blood Sea was boiling!
In an instant, the once surging, endless Blood Sea suddenly turned violent!
Endless waves of blood surged into the sky, carrying with them a complex yet powerful mix of Remnant Soul fragments and filthy essence, swirling and coalescing wildly at the core of the Karma Red Lotus.
The primordial power of the Minghe, his understanding of creation, and even his grand ambition to control the corrupt network were all poured into it.
A massive Whirlpool was formed at the center of the Karma Red Lotus. The Whirlpool was bottomless and connected to the most primal power of the Blood Sea with the ferocious Remnant Soul and the essence of Bloodline of various races that had accumulated within it over millions of years.
Blood-red light shot into the sky, illuminating the dark world.
Minghe activated his magic with both hands, and mysterious, blood-red Dao Patterns bloomed in the void. He joined his fingers like a sword, and his primordial Hunyuan Magical Power surged and roared around him, forcefully drawing upon the purest primordial power of the Blood Sea and the endless potential for life hidden within its filth!
"Condense!"
As the Minghe roared, the first and most massive column of pure blood shot into the sky!
As the Laws of the Minghe's fingertips were drawn, four powerful, violent, and uniquely spiritual figures took shape at the point where the blood light exploded.
In a short while, the figures gradually solidified, and four towering demon kings descended with a thunderous roar, their demonic power overwhelming and shaking the Blood Sea!
One of them is the Mara, Lord of Desire: He is clad in heavy armor as black as night, engraved with mysterious demonic patterns, his face is as cold and hard as if carved by a knife and axe, his eyes are as red as if burning in a furnace, and he is surrounded by Baleful Qi.
He knelt on one knee above the blood wave, his hands clenched in a fist, and a murderous aura condensed in his palms into a huge, blood-red Soul-Slaying Demon Blade. A pure Slaughter intent spread out, and the sea of the Blood Sea froze.
The second is Great Brahma: he wears a tall crown and magnificent robe, his face is dignified and solemn, and ancient Sanskrit characters that shimmer with Golden Light float around his body, symbolizing Order and Law and Order.
His gaze was like lightning, exuding an aura of absolute authority, his presence steady and powerful, wielding the power of the Blood Sea.
The third is the Indra, Lord of Lust: her figure is graceful and exquisite, her allure cannot be concealed by the light gauze, her skin is crystal clear and more like jade, and a strange fragrance floats with each light step she takes.
Her eyes, with their ever-changing gaze, seem to contain all the charm of the universe; a single frown or smile can stir the most primal emotions and desires deep within the hearts of all things.
The fourth is Shiva: his red hair dances wildly like flames, and a third divine eye grows on his forehead, which seems to conjure and destroy worlds with each opening and closing! An aura of Destruction surrounds him, and every move he makes stirs up Blood Sea and raging waves.
His three-eyed gaze, which embodies life and death, creation and Destruction, is the Incarnation a raging, violent power of the Blood Sea.
"Greetings, Ancestor! We will never forget the grace of your creation!"
The Four Great Demon Kings' voices shook the Blood Sea, and they bowed their heads in reverence.
Their voices, whether powerful, gentle, or magical, all carried an innate reverence and loyalty to the Minghe Styx.
Immediately afterwards, four more beams of blood-red light, slightly weaker than the former but still imbued with immense power, descended, transforming into four awe-inspiring demon generals.
Indra: As tall and imposing as a mountain, clad in bone armor, wielding a giant thunder pestle, unparalleled in bravery, and the vanguard of the Blood Sea.
Vishnu: With a deep-set face and eyes like a cold abyss, he possesses wisdom and cunning, and is a Strategic Wisdom who controls strategic planning.
Rudra: Surrounded by a chilling aura and swirling with dark winds, he wields the power of punishment and discipline, striking fear into the hearts of Asura.
Kalaratri: With a bizarre appearance, she can give birth to and differentiate into countless ghost children, commanding the Blood Sea underworld soldiers Yin soldiers, possessing the most vast power.
Finally, at the very center of the Blood Sea, at the core of the Whirlpool, the purest and most refined essence of blood essence suddenly bloomed when the Karma Red Lotus shone at its brightest!
A woman dressed in a magnificent blood-red palace gown, with an elegant and dignified demeanor— the Uma, the Heavenly Consort— was born. Her beauty was unparalleled in the Youming, her grace and nobility were like a blood lotus in the abyss, and she was beyond compare.
Beside her, Seventy-Two Asura Princesses descended like stars surrounding the All Stars, each possessing stunning beauty, some charming, some aloof, some valiant, all embodying the essence and splendor of the Blood Sea.
They are primarily responsible for the Asura Clan's internal affairs, reproduction, Enchantment diplomacy, and the sophisticated manipulation of certain aspects of the corrupt network.
