Luohu spoke again.
His tone was no longer as calm and composed as before. Instead, it grew somewhat hesitant, as though he were weighing his words.
"It's just that..."
Luohu paused, a trace of seriousness flashing through his deep, dark eyes.
"This Great Heart-Demon Art is truly profound and obscure. There are still a few points I do not understand..."
"I hope you will enlighten me, fellow Daoist!"
These words were no mere courtesy from Luohu.
They were a genuine plea from one seeking the Dao.
As the Demon Ancestor, Luohu wielded the laws of the Devil Dao, with the heart-demon laws forming his fundamental Great Dao.
In the past, it was precisely the heart-demon path he had comprehended on his own that allowed him to stand as Hongjun's equal in the Dao-Devil War and forge his fearsome reputation as the Demon Ancestor.
Yet the heart-demon path he had discovered ultimately had its limitations.
At its core, Luohu's heart-demon path amounted to nothing more than making heart-demons arise within living beings, then using them to nourish himself, drawing on their power to recover and grow stronger.
Though sinister and treacherous enough to throw Heaven and Earth into chaos, this method ultimately fell a notch short when measured on the level of the "Dao."
It was more an art, a means to an end, than a complete Great Dao capable of leading to the highest pinnacle.
Gu Changqing's Great Heart-Demon Art, however, was entirely different.
In Luohu's eyes, it was not merely a divine ability, but something more like... a complete Dao.
It infused the power of heart-demons into the myriad Daos, allowing it to corrode the minds of living beings, evolve the laws of Heaven and Earth, and even turn the guest into the host, overturning the order of qiankun
