Zhao Cheng naturally had no intention of resisting such demonic corruption. The Demon Fetus wanted to devour him, and he wanted to devour the Demon Fetus. In the end, it would merely come down to whose methods were superior. Before comprehending a trace of the Dao Venerable's mysteries of "Change," Zhao Cheng had not possessed much confidence. What he had relied on was only that the Demon Fetus could lose but once, while he could lose countless times and keep restarting. But now, having grasped a few transformations of the Dao Venerable's "Change"...
Though it was only the tiniest fragment, that tiniest fragment was measured against the Dao Venerable, a primordial source. Change was the transformation of sun and moon, most adept at adaptation. With such transformations, the true Dao Seed formed from Zhao Cheng's original body had rooted itself tens of millions of times deeper than the Demon Fetus's demonic corruption.
Only by rooting deeply enough could Zhao Cheng, when this Daoist body was thoroughly ink-stained by the Demon Fetus and turned into its incarnation in the future, reverse the situation and Plant the Dao within the Demon, rather than have all his efforts become a wedding dress for the Demon Fetus.
As for now, the Demon Fetus was making an additional investment. To the Demon Fetus, it was itself a composite entity: power was knowledge, and knowledge was power. This so-called ink-staining was also a form of knowledge. Though Zhao Cheng did not refine this ink-staining while Planting the Dao within the Demon, its subtle profundities still flowed into his heart. He absorbed them, turning them into nourishment for his growth. It even carried a faint flavor of Starfire Descends.
This made Zhao Cheng wonder whether, if his method of Planting the Dao within the Demon were developed
