Chapter 106: The Origin of the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties
Chapter 106: The Origin of the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties
The lecture continued for seventy-seven days and forty-nine nights.
Divine music reverberated through the Eighteen Mountains, enchanting all who heard it.
The Nine Coils Mountain was bustling with people, and as they looked up, they witnessed heavenly thunder rolling across the sky, followed by a spring rain showering the land.
The light drizzle fell, and everyone felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
A human cultivator's vision blurred, and he exclaimed, "Since the disappearance of the sun, moon, and stars, we have not heard such divine music!"
A demon knelt on the ground, wishing to worship Qi Yuan as the most sacred teacher.
Qi Yuan sat cross-legged on a large rock, his voice resonating, "The Demonic Path, this... is about Constrain Demons."
As his final words echoed, a cultivation technique named 'Constrain Demons Manual' entered the hearts of everyone present.
The mountains were filled with demons and humans, all in a trance.
At this moment, an elderly human knelt down, "Thank the heavens for bestowing this cultivation method, saving our race in times of crisis."
[You have gained the cultivation method 'Constrain Demons Manual'.]
The 'Constrain Demons Manual' primarily assists cultivators in building a cage to trap the demonic essence within their hearts.
This way, one wouldn't suddenly lose control due to emotional outbursts, only to have the demonic essence break free from their bodies.
This was undoubtedly significant for both humans and demons.
As the elderly human knelt, the rest of the humans and demons, regardless of cultivation level or status, all bowed down, chanting, "Thank the heavens for bestowing this method, saving us in times of difficulty."
The mountains were filled with humans and demons bowing towards Qi Yuan, a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Golden Canary was stunned.
Everyone was kneeling, should she join them?
She quickly dismissed the thought.
How could she, the childhood companion of the young mistress, kneel alone?
If she were to kneel, it would be the two of them together.
She looked at Qi Yuan, her beautiful eyes filled with pride.
Qi Yuan stood up and surveyed the mountains filled with humans and demons. Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind.
Finally, he spoke, "The lecture concludes, everyone may return home."
He hadn't intended to lecture.
However, as he reached the pinnacle of enlightenment in the Demonic Path, his insights flowed freely.
Demons and humans gathered to listen.
Gradually, Qi Yuan realized that lecturing was a way to organize and clarify the Demonic Path.
The more he spoke, the clearer the principles became.
After the lecture concluded, it was natural for everyone to leave. It would be awkward for them to keep staring at him.
The mountains filled with humans and demons heard Qi Yuan's dismissal and once again showed their respect by performing the disciple's bow. Slowly, they departed.
Twenty-six people remained.
Half of them were humans, and the other half were demons.
Looking at Qi Yuan, they sincerely said, "We are willing to serve the Blood Lord as disciples, attending to his needs."
Qi Yuan, clad in a long blood-red robe, had achieved enlightenment through blood, so it was not inappropriate for them to address him as the Blood Lord.
Hearing this, Qi Yuan's heart was filled with refusal.
Why would he take on disciples for no reason?
However, he glanced at the sky and had many thoughts.
He did need some help to learn more about the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties.
And he didn't know when he would return next, so having some familiar faces around would be good.
"I don't take disciples, but if you wish to stay, then stay."
The twenty-seven people present heard his words and their eyes showed disappointment, but they were also excited at the prospect of staying.
From this point on, all twenty-seven chose to remain.
"We are willing to serve the Blood Lord!"
Golden Canary stood by Qi Yuan's side, her eyes fixed on one of the women among the twenty-seven.
That woman was the White Fox Shang Yanran from Nine Coils Mountain.
Golden Canary, seeing Shang Yanran, immediately linked arms with Qi Yuan, looking at others with disdain.
The young mistress had a commanding presence.
At this moment, Qi Yuan spoke, "All twenty-seven of you, find a place on Nine Coils Mountain and build your own residences."
"Yes, master."
No matter their previous personalities or statuses, all twenty-seven now looked at Qi Yuan with reverence.
After all, Qi Yuan's lecture and cultivation method on Nine Coils Mountain, especially the 'Constrain Demons Manual', would likely change the fate of both humans and demons.
The twenty-seven present knew that after today, the lecture and cultivation method on Nine Coils Mountain would spread throughout the Gale Wind Realm.
They understood that this seemingly ordinary lecture held immense significance.
It wouldn't be long before Nine Coils Mountain became a sacred land.
The Blood Lord would become an object of reverence for countless living beings.
What kind of opportunity did staying here present?
"Nine Coils Mountain is my territory, I'll help you find houses!" Golden Canary was a very enthusiastic person.
Especially since these twenty-seven were all her childhood companions and followers.
Qi Yuan didn't say anything.
The Golden Canary does as she pleases, and right now, she continues to delve deeper into the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties.
As for what happens next, that's a story for another time.
The Golden Canary leads a group of twenty-seven, her excitement palpable.
"The Blood Lord, whose name is Blood Droplet, is my childhood companion!" she chirps, unable to spot Qi Yuan in the crowd.
White Fox Shang Yanran, standing amidst the group, looks at the Golden Canary with an envious expression, "The Blood Lord truly dotes on Fairy Canary."
She recalls how, not long ago, the Blood Lord had taken the Golden Canary flying across the Eighteen Mountains, playfully declaring her to be the most beautiful woman of the Eighteen Mountains.
The enigmatic Blood Lord's eccentric and outrageous actions reveal his deep affection for the Golden Canary.
Beside her, White Fox Shang Yanran's husband, White Ze, speaks up, "Not long ago, the Blood Lord mentioned that Fairy Canary is the most beautiful woman of the Eighteen Mountains."
In his words, they reveal what had transpired in the Eighteen Mountains.
Everyone present looks at the Golden Canary with a changed gaze, one filled with newfound respect.
Initially, they had thought the Golden Canary was merely the Blood Lord's servant, but now it's clear their relationship is far from ordinary.
Their gazes towards the Golden Canary become more flattering.
Hearing this, the Golden Canary's snowy face blushes with a hint of scarlet.
She knows she's blushing.
...
Qi Yuan has been preaching for twenty years, and time has flown by.
The Scripture of Constrain Demons has begun to spread among mortals.
Every day, countless cultivators come to Nine Coils Mountain to pay their respects.
Nine Coils Mountain has become a sacred place in the Windflow Realm.
It is said that on Nine Coils Mountain, there exists a naturally divine being known as the Blood Lord.
The Blood Lord emerged from chaos, preached on Nine Coils Mountain for seventy-seven days, and created the Scripture of Constrain Demons, temporarily suppressing all heart demons.
By cultivating the Scripture of Constrain Demons, one can avoid the sudden emergence of heart demons and the eruption of demonic beasts from within.
This act has saved countless mortals.
In the past, for every hundred mortals born, only one would survive to adulthood, and for every ten thousand born, none would reach old age.
With the emergence of this scripture, the number of mortals and demons has increased significantly.
Some say the Blood Lord is like a saint, and the twenty-seven original followers believe he should be revered as the Saint of Humans and Demons.
Qi Yuan directly rejects this idea.
The Blood Lord doesn't deserve to be a saint.
He doesn't even want to be associated with humans and demons.
One day, Qi Yuan stands atop the peak of Nine Coils Mountain, the very place where he first arrived.
Qi Yuan's understanding of the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties deepens.
Unfortunately, the Gate, located a few hundred zhang away, remains out of reach.
He fears that if he attempts to approach it, he might evaporate.
If he were to get closer, or even enter it...
According to the records, the Buddha was a celestial being who descended to the mortal realm for cultivation. After enduring countless tribulations in the mortal world, he could return to the realm of the celestials.
However, during that time, the Buddha went to the Rakshasa City and encountered a woman who changed his destiny.
Upon their first meeting, he developed feelings for her, considering her as his destined partner.
This woman was the daughter of a prominent figure in the Demonic Path, and she was besieged by powerful cultivators from the Righteous Path.
The Buddha intervened and saved her, and the two became intertwined, falling deeply in love.
Shang Yanran spoke with a hint of regret in her eyes, "If I may say, the Buddha shouldn't have saved that demonic woman, and none of these events would have occurred!"
Bai Ze spoke up, "What fault did that woman have? Should she be besieged by the Righteous Path just because she's from the Demonic Path?"
Shang Yanran shot a glance at her husband, Bai Ze, who represented auspiciousness and naturally had a compassionate heart.
Qi Yuan was momentarily stunned.
Shang Yanran's words reminded him of some immortal cultivation dramas.
"That Buddha, would he destroy the entire world for that woman?"
To fight against the world for your love seems to be the popular trend.
"Not quite," Shang Yanran said with a smile, "In the end, between the well-being of the world and that demonic woman, the Buddha chose the world, and the woman died."
She was clearly satisfied with this outcome.
Bai Ze murmured, "In such a world, how can a weak woman bear such a burden?"
"And then?" Qi Yuan wasn't very interested in the love story between the Buddha and the demonic woman; he wanted to know its connection to the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties.
"Unfortunately, the Buddha's resolve wasn't strong enough. Due to the woman's death, his cultivation in the mortal world was affected.
His salvation of the world also led to the woman's demise. Rumors spread that he was heartless and used the untainted demonic woman to build his reputation, treating her as a stepping stone.
The Buddha sat in front of the woman's grave for three hundred days, eventually going insane and falling into the Demonic Path, becoming a mighty demon.
Shang Yanran continued, a cold smile on her face, "People fear power, not virtue. If you ask me, if the Buddha had killed those who slandered him in secret, none of these troubles would exist."
Bai Ze sighed, "Killing doesn't solve the problem."
"What does this have to do with the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties?" Qi Yuan asked.
In the end, it's all about love and emotions, destroying the world.
"The Buddha's transformation into a demon and his inner thoughts becoming heart demons also triggered the Heart Demon Calamity in the Windflow Realm. From then on, everyone in the realm had heart demons, and their greed, anger, and ignorance manifested as heart demons." Shang Yanran spoke without adding her personal opinions, "Heart demons spread among people, and the large realm adjacent to the Windflow Realm closed its gates to the Windflow Realm.
The Windflow Realm became an isolated realm, but the countless heart demons eventually summoned, or rather, created a gate—a replica of the legendary Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties from the myths.
In the legends, the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties contained countless heart demons. Entering it would lead to one's downfall, even for celestial beings.
It was rumored that only by opening the gate could the heart demons be completely dispelled."
Opening the gate and entering it were not conflicting actions at this moment.
"Countless heart demons creating a replica of the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties?" Qi Yuan's eyes lit up.
Doesn't that mean the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties is delicious, all filled with experience points?
He looked up at the gate, his eyes filled with greed. He wanted to take a bite and taste its flavor.
He was puzzled as to why the gate wasn't present during the North-South Decision.
Could it be that someone had consumed the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties?
If so, they must not go unpunished.
...
"Back already?" Qi Yuan observed the surroundings of No Return City, his mind flashing with images.
This time, he gained Source Enlightenment for a full one hundred and twenty years.
The greatest harvest was the understanding of the Demonic Path and the acquisition of the _Constrain Demons Scripture_.
"So, is it because of me that demons appear in this world after people die?" Qi Yuan asked, "If I go back to the past, can I still change reality? It's really... hard to grasp, oh dear, I need to use my brain more. No more random thoughts."
Qi Yuan didn't think further.
It's just a game.
Enjoy the experience and leave no regrets.
Qi Yuan thought of his neighbor, Jin Pan.
"I wonder when we'll meet again?"
"At level 120?"
"Or perhaps... she's already faded away with time?"
"It's a shame, without contacting the origin, even the mysteries of reincarnation are beyond reach."
"Hopefully, I can enter the Gate of Ten Thousand Varieties after reaching level 120."
This time, Qi Yuan informed Jin Pan in advance.
Surely, she would be able to accept this better.
