Chapter 105: Demonic Path
Chapter 105: Demonic Path
"Transformation... is it difficult?" If it were the Qi Yuan of the past, during his enlightenment, transformation would indeed be challenging.
But now, having comprehended the Demonic Path, the entire cultivation system is within his mind.
With a snap of his fingers, he can transform.
"Can you transform?" Jin Sique, with her snowy face like jade, had never seen a transformation using blood before.
According to the Nine Coils Mountain's teachings, only demonic spirits and creatures could transform.
Blood... what is that?
"Don't transform and become an ugly fellow again.
It took me twenty-seven years to get used to your ugliness.
If you change into another ugly form, I'll need another twenty-seven years to adjust." Jin Sique hesitated.
Qi Yuan couldn't be bothered to talk to this female imp with her chattering mouth, like a machine gun.
He immediately demonstrated the transformation technique from the Demonic Path.
Instantly, a blood-red screen appeared, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth rolled towards him, condensing into a human form.
After about a dozen breaths, a crimson-robed Qi Yuan emerged, exceptionally handsome.
Above his eyebrows, there was a hint of red, making him appear even more demonic.
He was still the same person as before, but now even more demonic and handsome.
Jin Sique stared at Qi Yuan, and when she saw the handsome face beneath the blood robe, her snowy face blushed: "It's just... average, barely worthy of accompanying this miss."
Qi Yuan felt his body: "Indeed, having a physical form is more comfortable."
After speaking, he resumed his meditation, gazing at the Ten Thousand Varieties Gate in the distance.
Jin Sique stood by his side, her golden skirt unmoving in the wind. She exclaimed, "Is that gate so fascinating that it's more attractive than me?"
When she saw the blood pearl transform, she had planned to cook a celebratory meal.
But now, after his transformation, he was gazing at the gate again, as if he were a block of wood.
Qi Yuan didn't respond; he continued staring at the Ten Thousand Varieties Gate in the sky.
His mutation ability, along with the Demonic Path, was increasing rapidly.
A month later, a small wooden house appeared near Qi Yuan.
Jin Sique, hands on her slender waist, shouted to Qi Yuan, "This place has excellent feng shui! I've moved here, but not to be your neighbor. Don't get the wrong idea!"
"Is it possible that you moved here without me knowing?" Qi Yuan glanced at Jin Sique, who had put on makeup today, her cheeks like peach blossoms, exuding charm.
"Hmph! Being your neighbor is a blessing you've cultivated for a hundred years!" Jin Sique grumbled and returned to her wooden house, still feeling upset. She occasionally glanced outside, as she didn't want her childhood friend to suddenly disappear again.
Time passed, and Qi Yuan remained seated on a rock, comprehending the Ten Thousand Varieties Gate.
Every day, Jin Sique would come to chat with him, sharing trivial matters.
Through these conversations, Qi Yuan learned that there were many other demonic spirits and creatures like Jin Sique on Nine Coils Mountain. Most of them could transform, though not all transformations were complete.
For example, Qi Yuan saw an elephant spirit with a long nose.
He recalled television scenes, where male demons often retained their demonic features, while female demons transformed almost entirely into human forms, leaving only a small hint of their demonic nature.
Previously, Qi Yuan had thought it was just a TV show, never imagining that Nine Coils Mountain was similar.
"Blood Pearl, something terrible has happened! Miss needs your help!"
Jin Sique rushed over, her face filled with anxiety as she pulled Qi Yuan.
"What's wrong?" Qi Yuan allowed Jin Sique to lead him, as it didn't hinder his enlightenment.
"Let's go, I'll explain on the way!" Jin Sique held Qi Yuan's hand as they ran downhill.
Soon, fine sweat appeared on Jin Sique's delicate hands, and she anxiously said, "They're arguing!"
Before long, Qi Yuan arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Below, several creatures were gathered, engaged in a heated argument, while others watched the spectacle.
The argument was simple: a female rabbit, a male dog, and a female dog were involved.
The reason for the dispute was straightforward: a love triangle.
In short, the male dog and the female rabbit were once a couple, but the female rabbit cheated, breaking the male dog's heart. The female dog, attracted to the male dog, had started flirting with him while he was still with the female rabbit. The female rabbit, angry, confronted the female dog: "When you pursued me, you said you didn't mind my nature. Now that you've won me over, you've changed your mind? And you, while I was still with the dog, you started flirting with him. You're shameless!"
The female dog, furious: "If you hadn't cheated first, would the dog have strayed? I'm usually understanding, but I won't bring up the past. However, you gave birth to a child and refused to use your fur to build a nest, instead stealing the dog's fur.
You are so motherly, but your moral quality is low."
The male dog accused the female rabbit of cheating.
The female rabbit accused the female dog of being a third party.
The female dog accused the female rabbit of causing trouble for her ex after cheating.
The three of them argued loudly, surrounded by a group of onlookers, some trying to mediate.
Golden Canary looked anxious, "What should we do?"
Qi Yuan was speechless, "If I had known it was such a big deal, I should have summoned more people. If I had called upon the likes of Buddha, Monkey King, Thanos, Iron Man, and Bald Qiang, this matter would have surely been resolved."
With so many powerful beings present, how could this argument continue? It might even be ranked among the most intense arguments in the multiverse.
Golden Canary glared at Qi Yuan, "They're so chaotic, whose fault is it?"
"Go up and slap them all, then leave. That should settle things." Qi Yuan suggested, "But you don't have a mental health certificate, so it won't work."
To be a judge, one needs to have a mental illness, or they'll end up in jail.
"The argument is almost over, let's go back." Qi Yuan lost interest.
"Let's watch a bit more, we rarely get to witness such a scene." Golden Canary held Qi Yuan's hand tightly.
【You have gained insight into the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties, Charm +5.】
"Alright." Qi Yuan decided to keep watching.
At this moment, the arguing trio became increasingly agitated.
Some of the bystanders nearby showed signs of excitement, "Don't get excited, don't get excited."
As they spoke, they backed away.
Qi Yuan also sensed something amiss, "What happens if we get excited?"
Before Golden Canary could answer, Qi Yuan already knew the answer.
The female dog, as she spoke, became more and more agitated, her face contorting into a hideous expression.
A crack suddenly appeared on her face, and blood started flowing from within.
The crack grew larger, and her entire body expanded, revealing a terrifying monster tearing through her skin and crawling out of her body.
The monster was horrifying, with a hideous face and a body covered in slimy, viscous liquid. Its aura was also incredibly intimidating.
The onlookers, upon witnessing this scene, turned pale, some showing fear as they fled.
The male dog, seeing his partner transform like this, felt a surge of fear.
In just a moment, he too became a terrifying monster.
Finally, the rabbit also transformed into a terrifying monster.
Three terrifying monsters, with hideous faces, charged towards the crowd.
"Ah, a heart demon is born!"
"Run, it's a heart demon!"
"We shouldn't have gotten involved, we're done for!"
"Stay calm, stay calm."
Golden Canary's face turned pale as she gripped Qi Yuan's hand tightly, "Let's go!"
Qi Yuan's expression turned cold, "Demons?"
The three terrifying monsters before him resembled the adorable little demons that Qi Yuan had been fighting all along.
Or perhaps, they were those very demons.
At this moment, Qi Yuan had slain countless demons.
He could confidently say that no one in this world understood demons better than him.
He glanced at Golden Canary and gave her a reassuring look.
Holding Golden Canary's hand with one hand, he transformed the other into a sword finger.
"Die!"
The three terrifying demons seemed to sense Qi Yuan's aura and roared as they charged towards him.
A stench of blood approached.
A flash of blood-red sword light passed by.
Slit.
Several streaks of blood-red light, fast as lightning, flashed by, and those three powerful demons were instantly sliced to pieces by that sword light."
In the end, they turned into nothingness.
The fleeing monsters stopped in their tracks and looked at Qi Yuan with awe, as if he were a god.
So cool!
Golden Canary's eyes sparkled.
"Blood Pearl, you're so powerful! You killed those three heart demons in an instant!" Golden Canary was thrilled.
Could her childhood companion be this strong?
"It's nothing." Qi Yuan asked, "They were fine, but why did they suddenly transform like that?"
He had some suspicions.
Golden Canary quickly explained, "Because... when they argue, they easily get excited, and the heart demons consume them, making them want to kill any living thing they see!"
She looked at the three torn pieces of clothing on the ground, a hint of regret in her eyes.
"When emotions run high, do heart demons break through the body?" Qi Yuan was astonished.
"For the creatures in this world to have survived until now, that's too bizarre.
But then again, the creatures on Nine Plateaus Mountain seem so friendly, without any fighting. Everything seems quite reasonable."
However, he thought of something.
Getting excited isn't limited to arguments; there are many situations that can cause excitement.
If... a demon suddenly appeared during such excitement, the scene would be terrifying.
"It seems this is before the North-South Pact." Qi Yuan was almost certain.
Because this world seemed even more insane than the world of the North-South Pact.
Anyone could suddenly turn into a monster.
Golden Canary's brief regret came and went quickly.
It seemed that living in this world, she had learned to regulate her emotions to avoid excessive excitement.
"Blood Pearl, you're so strong, how about helping this young miss with something?"
"Golden Canary's eyes glimmered with a thought, and Qi Yuan had an ominous premonition.
'What is it?'
'Do you think I'm beautiful?' Golden Canary asked, admiring her golden dress.
'You're beautiful, truly rare in this world!' Qi Yuan flattered her.
Golden Canary gave Qi Yuan a sidelong glance.
She didn't mind, after all, she was the one asking for a favor.
'That White Fox Shang Yanran was chosen as the most beautiful in the Eighteen Mountains. Why is she first? I, Miss Golden Canary, should be the true beauty!' Golden Canary exclaimed.
'Don't get worked up,' Qi Yuan said.
He was afraid that the Golden Canary he was holding might suddenly turn into a demon.
Golden Canary smiled serenely, 'You can fly, right? Take me on a tour of the Eighteen Mountains. I want to loudly declare to everyone that I am the true beauty of these mountains!'
Qi Yuan was speechless, 'Golden Canary, your jealousy is a bit much.'
'This isn't jealousy, I just want the truth to be revealed!'
'I must say, your thick skin surpasses mine.'
'Where?'
'Don't you think if I run around like this, people will think we're both mad?'
She paused, 'It's so stupid!'
Qi Yuan wanted to refuse.
After all, he usually kept his distance from madmen and didn't want to be associated with one just for helping Golden Canary.
He prided himself on being a solitary swordsman!
'Blood Bead, giegie...' Golden Canary cooed, tugging at Qi Yuan's arm.
Qi Yuan immediately surrendered, 'Alright, alright, I'll go, is that okay?'
Who could refuse a girl who called him 'giegie'?
...
As night fell, Qi Yuan returned to his usual spot.
Today, he had taken Golden Canary on a flight across the Eighteen Mountains.
He transformed into a sky trumpet, declaring to the mountains that Miss Golden Canary was the true beauty of the Eighteen Mountains.
Those who disagreed were convinced by Qi Yuan's strength.
The current Qi Yuan just wanted to stay there and not meet anyone else.
In contrast, Golden Canary was overjoyed and seemed to be in a great mood.
She even felt it wasn't enough and wanted to go again.
'Blood Bead, you saw White Fox Shang Yanran today, right? Isn't she a bit inferior to me?' Golden Canary looked at Qi Yuan expectantly.
Qi Yuan's mind also conjured the image of White Fox Shang Yanran.
Naturally, Golden Canary's beauty surpassed hers.
But as Qi Yuan looked at the ordinary Golden Canary, he understood why White Fox Shang Yanran was the true beauty of the Eighteen Mountains.
'Do you want the truth or a lie?' Qi Yuan asked.
Golden Canary glared at Qi Yuan, '... a lie.'
'She's beautiful,' Qi Yuan said, lying.
Golden Canary pouted upon hearing this, 'Lies and truths are both her, right?'
'The truth is you.'
'You're lying, your words and heart don't match.'
'I never lie.'
'You just lied!'
...
Twenty years later.
Qi Yuan sat upright on a blue stone.
His Demon Path had now reached a terrifying level of 99999.
He gazed at the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties in the sky, deep in thought.
'Heart Demons, born from Heaven and Earth, nourished by nature, shadowing their forms.'
'Tempt with power, disturb with emotions, entrap with greed, all these are sins.'
Qi Yuan's heart resonated, and his voice grew louder.
'If they see me with their eyes, seek me with sounds, they are humans who seek demons.'
'Seeing no sun or moon, no stars, seeking neither immortals nor demons, humans should entrap demons!'
His voice was vast, like spring thunder or a dragon's roar, echoing through the Eighteen Mountains and beyond.
Wherever his voice reached, a fragrant scent spread, calming all who heard it.
The demonic spirits who heard Qi Yuan's voice stood motionless, deep in thought.
Some bowed their heads in reverence, as if they had received a supreme method.
'Who's speaking?'
'Which master is this?'
'Hurry to the Eighteen Mountains!'
'Such a wondrous method, so strange, it's like a heart demon!'
All the demons were shocked, and even the humans who heard the voice were surprised. They rushed towards the Eighteen Mountains.
A day passed.
Qi Yuan sat like a deity, speaking with divine eloquence.
On the Eighteen Mountains, flowers bloomed, birds sang, and auspicious clouds gathered.
Countless animals and demonic spirits sat in meditation at the foot of the mountain, joined by powerful human cultivators.
They sat quietly, listening intently to Qi Yuan's divine music.
Their eyes showed shock and excitement, sometimes deep in thought, sometimes enlightened, unable to break free.
They were immersed in Qi Yuan's teachings.
On the Eighteen Mountains, dead trees sprouted, and all creatures were serene, gazing at Qi Yuan with reverence.
Only Golden Canary, with a proud look, watched Qi Yuan with admiration.
