This World Had Gone Mad!

Fu Kui was the type who "listened to advice and ate his fill."

Therefore, after receiving Yinglong's instructions, he first went to report to the Lord Tiaoyao at River Pillow Peak, and then went to the nearby Chiru Temple to get a copy of the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra".

"I never imagined that besides the Mountain Folk and the Butterfly People, there would be a group of Human-Faced Fish living here in these Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

With a touch of melancholy, Fu Kui flipped through the two scrolls in his hands while communicating with the demon within his heart.

To be honest, Fu Kui believed he had a thorough understanding of the situation in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range before coming here.

However, the various people and events that appeared in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range still greatly surprised Fu Kui.

Let's leave aside the Mountain Folk and the Butterfly People for now.

That was a typical indigenous and immigrant group.

But those Human-Faced Fish with childlike personalities and human speech seem to be mixed between the indigenous people and the outsiders.

Especially after seeing the temple of the Chiru Goddess.

Fu Kui vaguely sensed that the Human-Faced Fish held a rather special position in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Compared to the Human-Faced Fish in other regions, the Human-Faced Fish in these Hundred Lands Mountain Range are all Innate Divine Being and have mastered one or two Law Technique and Divine Ability.

Furthermore, they may exist in any river in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, maintaining a certain balance between the Mountain Folk and the spirits.

It was a non-violent form of oversight, which both Mountain Folk and spirits held in awe.

"..."

To Fu Kui's surprise, the Heart Demon, who usually loved to argue with him, remained unusually silent.

As Fu Kui continued to peruse the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra," its contents gradually appeared in the eyes of his Heart Demon.

This "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra" is roughly divided into three chapters.

The text elaborates on the special group of people suffering from "Heart Demon" in three sections.

They were a group of demon kings born from the Great Sovereign Heaven, manifestations of the seven emotions and six desires of all living beings.

As a Heavenly Demon demon, the Heart Demon was naturally very familiar with the contents of this chapter.

It was at most somewhat surprised that the Dao Ancestor actually knew of the existence of "Boshun Heavenly Demon".

However, the content of the second chapter made the Heart Demon increasingly terrified.

This second chapter deals with a different type of "Heart Demon."

Unlike the demon kings in the first chapter, these Heart Demon do not feed on the negative emotions of all living beings.

They originated from a being called "Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon," and are "Heart Buddha" who strengthen themselves through the righteous thoughts of all sentient beings.

If we consider the demon king, a manifestation of desire, as the ultimate form of evil.

Therefore, these demon kings formed from righteous thoughts are naturally the ultimate form of goodness.

But regardless of good or evil, right or wrong, anything or any idea that goes to extremes is never a good thing.

The Heart Demon is naturally well aware of this.

What truly shocked and even baffled the Heart Demon was the birth of the "Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon".

In terms of both rank and ability, the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon is an equal to the Boshun Heavenly Demon.

His birth gave rise to a new generation of demon kings, accelerated the formation of Great Sovereign Heaven, and established a new order and rules.

This earth-shattering change was something the Heart Demon trapped within Fu Kui's body could not comprehend.

For the first time in my life, my Heart Demon stirred within me a feeling that I seemed... perhaps... maybe I'm falling behind?

In just a few years, the Great Sovereign Heaven had become a form that the Heart Demon could not recognize.

This unease completely transformed into unconcealable terror when the Heart Demon saw the final chapter of the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra".

The final chapter of this "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra" is a striking analysis of the essence of Heart Demon.

Since Heart Demon can descend to the mortal world and walk among mortals using mortal bodies.

Is it possible for all living beings to imitate the behavior of Heart Demon, descend upon the Great Sovereign Heaven, and transform their desires into Heart Demon entities?

The Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra fully explains this hypothesis and possibility.

Based on this hypothesis and possibility, in the last few pages of the Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra, countless different handwritings flash by, describing many feasible or infeasible solutions.

"Huh? Are these other practitioners who possess the Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra?"

Having also seen those fleeting words, Fu Kui's surprise deepened.

Through the exchange of those texts, Fu Kui realized that their masters all possessed the same copy of the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra".

As the person in charge of this "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra," Chiru granted some access to the document.

Anyone who possesses a copy of the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra" can communicate with other holders through writing.

The content of these exchanges will be summarized a month later, and then Chiru will add it to the subsequent content sections.

Prior to this, holders of the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra" could exchange and discuss among themselves.

"That's really amazing!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Kui took out the charcoal pencil that came with the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra" and began to write on it.

Compared to other holders of the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra," Fu Kui possessed a true Heart Demon within him.

Therefore, His views and arguments are often more incisive than those of other holders, and can immediately pinpoint the crux of the problem.

Soon, there was discussion about the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra".

It quickly turned into a pattern where other holders asked questions, Fu Kui answered them.

It was during this process that Fu Kui realized the benefits of this "instant communication".

Two strangers separated by thousands of miles can exchange ideas and theories through a single book.

In just a few breaths, Fu Kui experienced what it meant to feel unsatisfied and lack the words to express his feelings.

Despite having countless thoughts and ideas in my mind, I couldn't find the right words to describe them because I rarely had this kind of academic exchange with others.

Fortunately, the holders of the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra" are not ordinary people.

To gain the approval of Chiru and Yinglong, aside from other factors, demonstrates that his cultivation and wisdom are far superior to those of ordinary people.

They are often able to fill in some details that Fu Kui had not thought of from their own perspective, and even correct some errors that they consider to be common sense.

Having witnessed this scene, the Heart Demon within Fu Kui fell silent once more.

It never imagined that there would be a group of people in this world who were specifically studying the forms of existence of Heart Demon.

In particular, the kind of practice they discussed, which involves letting one's own desires enter the Great Sovereign Heaven and then transforming them into Heart Demon.

From the perspective of the Heart Demon, its feasibility is so high that it has already entered the implementation stage.

This means that any one of these people with even a little bit of initiative Jidu already possesses an incarnation of Heart Demon from the Great Sovereign Heaven.

Am I the one who's gone mad? Or is the world going mad?
