CHAPTER 171: CHAPTER 170: FALSE CELESTIAL DAO

The Profound Vagina Door is precisely the True Intent of the Great Dao that Lu Yan comprehended from the Scripture of Profound Vagina’s Teachings.

After some interaction with these demons, Lu Yan gradually realized the true nature of the so-called True Intent of the Great Dao.

The Celestial Dao of demons is completely different from all the Celestial Daos Lu Yan has encountered, exercising a laissez-faire approach to management over the entire demon version.

If in other versions of the Path of Heaven and Earth, there is a veil in the middle that one must penetrate to comprehend the Path of Heaven and Earth.

Then the demon version of the Path of Heaven and Earth is laid bare before you, without a trace of concealment.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Yan was able to grasp the True Intent of the Great Dao of the Profound Vagina Door after just a little cultivation.

In fact, it’s not only Lu Yan; as long as one cultivates the True Technique passed down by the divine beings of various heavens, one can directly comprehend the Path of Heaven and Earth at the beginning of cultivation.

And the so-called True Intent of the Great Dao is essentially a part of the power of the Path of Heaven and Earth.

By contacting the Path of Heaven and Earth, gradually evolving one’s own cultivation towards the Path of Heaven and Earth, making oneself more compatible with the Path of Heaven and Earth, one can thus borrow a part of the True Intent of the Great Dao from the Path of Heaven and Earth.

The immortality of Sewn Demon Fiend, the speed of the One-legged Giant, the plague of the White Wolf, and even the devour of the Mist Insect Swarm are essentially manifestations of the Dao Rules.

This is power at the level of rules!

It is precisely because of this that they can easily display these abilities, ignoring their own level constraints.

Lu Yan’s spell killed the Sewn Demon Fiend several times, yet he still finds it difficult to break through the Immortal True Intent.

The Mist Insect Swarm devours second-level spells with Qi Cultivation to propel its own evolution, precisely thanks to the rule-based devouring ability.

Although the True Intent of the Great Dao they possess is just a trivial trace, the True Intent of the Great Dao at the rule level can ignore power that does not exceed them greatly, surpassing levels to kill the enemy with ease for these demons.

If not for encountering Lu Yan holding the Soul Banner, these demons with extraordinary methods might even have hoped to encircle and kill a Golden Core True Human who fights to the death without retreat.

This is something that is impossible to achieve in the Xianxia version, where the gap between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core is immeasurable.

But demons can achieve it, relying entirely on the overbearing nature of their rule-based power.

Unless the cultivation exceeds by too much, rule-based power can ignore all conventional methods. Demon version cultivators and demons are undoubtedly powerful mechanisms.

"The True Intent of the Great Dao is indeed powerful, but ultimately it’s a wrong path."

Lu Yan shook his head regretfully.

Yet in Lu Yan’s view, these so-called True Intent of the Great Dao are merely superficially delicious fruits that actually hide deadly poison.

In the Xianxia version, only upon reaching the Golden Core Realm and after the Divine Power Seed nurtures Great Divine Techniques above the Earth Fiend can one barely contact the Path of Heaven and Earth during the Golden Core Stage, and this is achieved through the advantage of Divine Techniques.

Without the convenience of Divine Techniques, truly touching upon the Path of Heaven and Earth in cultivation requires at least a Great True Monarch at the Peak of Nascent Soul.

To manipulate the Path of Heaven and Earth, one must be at the level of Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarch or even higher.

Even so, cultivators still face the risk of being counterattacked by the Path of Heaven and Earth.

Demon version cultivators do not cultivate themselves but rather actively assimilate into the Path of Heaven and Earth, undoubtedly placing the safety of themselves entirely into the hands of the Path of Heaven and Earth.

The Path of Heaven and Earth of the demon version inherently contains distortion and filth, and whether it’s cultivators practicing Demon True Technique or those grotesque-looking demons, they are all more or less polluted by the True Intent of the Great Dao.

This sends demon cultivators rushing down a path increasingly distant from humanity.

The stronger they become, the less they resemble regular humans.

But even the power gained through self-degradation and alienation is not truly theirs.

Without cultivating oneself, the Path of Heaven and Earth can at any time retract the understanding of the Dao and the power of the True Intent of the Great Dao. Even if demon cultivation reaches the heavens, if unable to transcend the Path of Heaven and Earth, they ultimately cannot escape the fate of being devoured.

"This is a world that eats people!"

"But, those who eat people are not just demons—there’s also the Dao!"

Lu Yan couldn’t help but whisper softly.

Seeing this, the Giant Spirit God couldn’t help but ask:

"My master, you actively contacted the Path of Heaven and Earth to exterminate the Sewn Demon Fiend; will it have any negative impact?"

Lu Yan calmly shook his head: "It’s just a trial.

I’ve already attained Foundation Establishment Cultivation, with the Supreme Dao Foundation being exceptionally strong. Under the protection of cultivation and foundation, the corruption of the Path of Heaven and Earth cannot erode me; merely making initial contact with the True Intent of the Great Dao will not have any impact.

Moreover..."

Speaking here, Lu Yan paused slightly, his gaze falling on the still-operating Profound Vagina Door in his palm, a hint of unusual color flickering in his eyes.

To break the True Intent of the Great Dao, one must either crush with superior strength or use an even higher True Intent of the Great Dao.

Knowing this, Lu Yan tried to comprehend the Scripture of Profound Vagina’s Teachings to deepen his understanding of the entire demon version.

The whole process was far easier than Lu Yan imagined. Possessing the True Technique ranked third on the Heaven and Earth True Technique List, Lu Yan merely operated the True Technique slightly, and accessed the Path of Heaven and Earth, extracting a trace of True Intent of the Great Dao.

The Profound Vagina Door is the mother of all techniques, the root of all paths, effortlessly crushing that trace of Immortal True Intent.

Originally, Lu Yan’s idea was to withstand the corruption of the Path of Heaven and Earth with Foundation Establishment Cultivation and the Supreme Dao Foundation, but the final result was different from what he had previously thought.

He was not subjected to the corruption of the Path of Heaven and Earth nor showed any signs of assimilation into the Path of Heaven and Earth, as if the malice of the Path of Heaven and Earth lost its effect on Lu Yan.

This discovery greatly surprised Lu Yan.

He is but a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, far from reaching the level of affecting the Path of Heaven and Earth. Why does the Path of Heaven and Earth, which can even assimilate and devour powerful demons, lose its effect on him?

As Lu Yan’s thoughts flowed, he operated again the Scripture of Profound Vagina’s Teachings, trying to find the reason within it.

The Path of Heaven and Earth related to the True Technique once more appeared before Lu Yan’s eyes.

Lu Yan’s consciousness abruptly sank into another world, a colossal vortex where any words to describe it lose their meaning.

As his consciousness sank into this place, Lu Yan seemed to touch the source of all paths, the foundation of all techniques; everything before him yielded to Lu Yan’s will.

And in the corner of the vortex, a tiny, nearly imperceptible stream disappeared, precisely the part of True Intent of the Great Dao that Lu Yan first comprehended and intercepted.

Lu Yan’s thoughts shifted slightly, operating the True Technique to attempt intercepting a small stream again, merging it into the Profound Vagina Door.

And just as Lu Yan touched the immense vortex, representing the Dao in transformation, the giant vortex suddenly slowed its spin, allowing Lu Yan to more easily extract the True Intent of the Great Dao.

Such a sight made Lu Yan pause in surprise.

"Is the Dao actively submitting?"

The next moment, Lu Yan seemed to understand something, showing an extremely peculiar expression.

"Could He be mistaking me as the Celestial Dao?"
