Chapter 671
by fanqienovelChapter 671: Six Paths Complete
Laughter echoed throughout the vast hall: “Haha, the Human Path Legal Form has returned. This time, he can no longer stop our Demon Lord from cultivating the heart of Dao into demons.”
“Let Li Hui fall! He is suited for the path of hell.”
“No, you should understand Tian Xin and let Li Hui become a celestial being!”
As the Human Path Legal Form reappeared, the five forms began arguing endlessly, but in the next moment, all sounds halted, and the five forms stared blankly at the Human Path Legal Form.
“What… how did he become this big? Is he just putting on a show?” The Demon Dao Legal Form was shocked.
“Putting on a show? Did you not see that this guy is even more condensed than us?” The Demonic Dao Legal Form clenched his fists and shouted, “Hurry and join forces; he intends to swallow us!”
Upon this return, the Human Path Legal Form resembled a giant, while the other five forms barely reached his knees.
Li Hui cheerfully remarked, “Oh, everyone is here! Six hundred years have passed, and you are still restraining each other in pairs. Can’t you bear to make a Dao Oath and rush out from Li Sifan’s dantian to discuss things later?”
The Demonic Dao Legal Form furiously replied, “You say it so easily! The Heavenly Dao Legal Form excels at interrupting Dao oaths, the Demon Dao Legal Form is the most elusive, the Ghost Dao Legal Form loves to deceive, and the path of hell doesn’t care about heavenly punishment! Maybe it will even strengthen his curse power. Only I will be affected by the Dao oath, and they will probably unite to eliminate me.”
“Tsk, tsk!” The Human Path Legal Form shook his head. “In simpler terms, you are selfish and unwilling to trust humans. Of course, you are right. I can sense that the other four forms indeed want to eliminate you because you pose the greatest threat to them once outside.”
The Heavenly Dao Legal Form calmly stated, “The Demonic Dao Legal Form always wishes to eliminate us to revert to the original and integrate to truly refine the spirit and soul into a Demon God. I prefer the Yang God.”
Li Hui praised, “None of you are simple. The calamity has arrived; I need your assistance. As the saying goes, ‘seeking help from others is not as good as helping oneself,’ I am helping myself. The true soul and spirit have remained here for six hundred years with Li Gui’s assistance; it has borne great fortune.”
“Dream on! We won’t submit!” The Ghost Dao Legal Form was the first to strike, unleashing a tremendous ghostly technique, aiming to break through the Human Path Legal Form.
The other four Legal Forms saw an opportunity and attacked simultaneously.
In that instant, red and yellow Dao Fruits appeared, suppressing all disturbances. Countless Reincarnation Dao Traces were inscribed around the Human Path Legal Form, quickly intertwining to form a giant Reincarnation Talisman, a preparation Li Hui had undertaken for two hundred years.
“Dao creates one, one creates two, two creates three, three creates all things! Reincarnation lasts forever; all things return to the Six Paths of Reincarnation.” The Human Path Legal Form swayed its body, stepping with Daoist steps, holding the Dao Fruit, and rotating with the other five Legal Forms.
“Buzz… Buzz…” Amidst the buzzing sounds, the Demonic Dao Legal Form shouted in fear, “Don’t come closer! Don’t you fear the heart of Dao cultivating demons?”
“The heart of Dao is the heart of Dao, and the demonic heart is also the heart of Dao; it is time to merge!” Li Hui remained undisturbed, knowing that for the Heart Talisman to bear the Dao Fruit, the Six Paths must be thoroughly unified; the Six Paths of Reincarnation formed a whole, and none could be missing.
“Boom…” The Human Path Legal Form engulfed the Demonic Dao Legal Form, extending a massive hand towards the Demon Dao Legal Form.
“Human Path! I am a demon monkey! Are you not afraid of a restless heart?” The Demon Dao Legal Form was frightened; the Human Path Legal Form had previously been the weakest. What had happened outside to make him so fierce now?
“Hahaha!” Li Hui laughed heartily, “You are mistaken! In this world, humans are the most terrifying existence! Ancient cultivators became immortals, and when they become ruthless, they can be more brutal than demons, more vicious than ghosts, more violent than demons, colder than heaven, and more merciless than hell. For survival, humans can do many terrifying things, so do not measure the depth of humanity with your wisdom. The Six Paths rotate; the heart of Dao is eternal. To put it plainly, these Six Paths are the paths of humanity; without me, where are you?”
In an instant, the Human Path Legal Form integrated with the five paths, and five puppet-like faces emerged on its forehead: a red face for the Demonic Dao, a white face for the Heavenly Dao, a blue face for the Ghost Dao, a yellow face for the Demon Dao, and a black face for the path of hell.
“Hahaha!” The five puppet faces on the forehead laughed one by one, then vanished. The red and yellow colors swirled, and the Dao Fruit floated up, radiating brilliance.
At the same time, after six hundred years of slumber, Li Sifan opened his eyes, reached out, and grasped the Li Gui and Kui Niu Drum stored in his Chaotic Dao Body’s dantian. The two pieces of Li Gui began to merge.
“Father, you are awake.” Excited voices came from nearby.
Beautiful young boys and girls flew over, the two Spirit Treasures that Li Hui had cultivated before departing, with the Nine Yin Dragon Hua Umbrella becoming Li Longhua and the Qian Yang Ding Jun Pearl becoming Li Dingjun.
“Thank you two for your hard work!”
The two Spirit Treasures wept with joy, hurriedly kneeling and saying, “It’s not hard; you are the one who has suffered outside. We heard Old Demon Granny say that you need to suppress the celestial projections in the Extreme Huan Continent to alleviate the suffering of the world.”
“Oh? What changes occurred in the Ancient Tomb? Tell me everything.” Li Hui sat cross-legged, the Dao Fruit within him about to mature. Every thought mattered immensely, and he needed to stay calm.
Li Dingjun slowly recounted, “Not long after you left, people entered the Ancient Tomb. However, they wandered aimlessly and got nowhere. Longhua, being kind-hearted, didn’t kill anyone. I felt it was time to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys, but it was only when dozens of diviners entered with compasses that we sensed the situation was dire.”
“We swiftly activated the talisman formation; initially, we only drove them back and did not harm anyone. Yet these guys grew bolder and bolder, so I had no choice but to use the talisman formation to slay them.”
“Afterward, things quieted for a while. One day, the team that followed you to the Heavenly Realm entered the Ancient Tomb. Just as Tianyi and Tian Zhu were about to bring a treasure into the talisman formation, some among them suddenly attacked.” The youth still felt a pang of fear when recalling this event.
The girl, Li Longhua, continued, “Father, those people were vicious; they left no survivors. Tianyi and Tian Zhu were gravely injured, but luckily, Dingjun and I didn’t reveal ourselves and instead hid nearby to monitor them. By the time we activated the talisman formation, more than a dozen members of the group had fallen to poison.”
“Alas…” Li Dingjun sighed deeply, “It was my fault for being too slow to react. I only managed to freeze the bodies of Tianyi and Tian Zhu. When we struck to kill the traitors, another dozen were caught. Fortunately, the Ancient Tomb held ample treasures, which barely countered the poison and kept us alive. However, I never expected that among those we saved, there were still traitors.”
Li Longhua angrily responded, “They took advantage of our trust and stayed in the Ancient Tomb. After a hundred days, when they had healed, they immediately attacked, destroying many talisman formations and nearly assaulting the altar hall used to store the broken artifacts and fragments of spirit treasures. Fortunately, you had made thorough preparations before leaving, and with Shrimp Ball’s assistance, we managed to eliminate the traitors. But some of the cultivators originally loyal to you were bewitched and wanted to capture us to search our souls for the truth.”
As she spoke, Li Longhua and Li Dingjun simultaneously knelt and begged for forgiveness: “At that time, we were in a panic and mistakenly injured many loyal cultivators, only later realizing it was due to instigation.”
