"The Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord is not within the Three Realms and Six Paths, transcending beyond Heaven and Earth."
"If he is prepared, even the Great Derivation Art cannot calculate his whereabouts."
The child listened, furrowing their brows in hesitation, and said, "So should we just let the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord wreak havoc in the human world?"
Daoist Zhang smiled faintly and calmly said, "Exactly."
"Not only should we not stop him, but we should also secretly assist him."
"If he becomes absorbed in enjoying this world, he might just shatter the void and leave on his own."
The child seemed thoughtful, murmuring, "So Your Majesty sent Daoist Lv's disciple down the mountain to find him?"
Daoist Zhang nodded in acknowledgment.
The child then looked up in doubt and asked, "What if the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord, unsatisfied, plays around in the mortal world and still refuses to leave, insisting on opposing the Master?"
Daoist Zhang remained silent for a long time before speaking, "I have obscured the Heavenly Secret, using the power of the Heavenly Dao to hinder his cultivation."
"The Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord loves to display saintliness for others, seeks luxury, delights in gourmet food, and even more so in worldly beauty."
"He is the source of all desires."
"He absolutely cannot sever the Three Corpses to prove the Dao! Then he will not be a match for me!"
"If he insists on doing so."
"Then there is only one path left to him, which is to prove the Dao through strength."
Prove the Dao through strength?
The child beside him looked perplexed, having entered the Dao at a young age, but only having a superficial understanding of achieving enlightenment, becoming one with the Dao, and verifying the Dao.
Daoist Zhang calmly stated, "To prove the Dao through strength, one must break open the heavens and earth, divide yin and yang, and reshape the order of all things."
"That will undoubtedly cause turbulence in time and space."
"When that time comes, with changes in Heaven and Earth and the collapse of the Law, Outer Heaven Demons, and the Three Thousand Demon Gods will swarm in!"
"He too cannot escape the backlash of Heaven and Earth, leading directly to death and the Dao disappearing."
"By then, I can reshape the order of the Three Realms of Heaven and Earth, and through his grave mistakes, accomplish my great work, and possibly slay the primal spirit of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord!"
Turbulence in Heaven and Earth?
The descent of hordes of demons?
The two children beside him were horrified.
Daoist Zhang gazed at the distant Heaven, his eyes resolute, having already stolen some of the Heavenly Secret, but the ruler of the heavens had given him quite a challenge this time.
He and the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord were not necessarily enemies; there was still a thread of potential reconciliation, but he didn't dare to gamble on it at all.
If we were to draw an analogy.
You plan to verify the Dao as the Heavenly Emperor, to steal the power of the ruler of heavens, having already grasped some of the Destinies, soon to encounter a tribulation to secure the position of Heavenly Emperor, and then the heavens throw at you a Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord, the demon among demons, the lord of all demons, the fiercest and the largest in Outer Heaven Demons.
What will you do?
This clearly appears to be Heaven wanting you to clash with him.
Daoist Zhang dared not gamble, nor did he dare collaborate with the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord. Now that he was about to undergo a tribulation, the heavens had set an unsolvable stratagem on him; he could only take measures to send the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord away ahead of time.
He must find ways to assist him secretly while also taking precautions against him, best to treat him as a dragon crossing the river, to explore this world for a while and then directly ascend and shatter the void on his departure.
Once he attains the position of Heavenly Emperor, he will no longer need to fear the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord.
But defenses must be strict, not allowing the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord to prove the Dao in this world. He has divine powers to seize cultivation from others, and if his realm advances, no one will be his match.
Cultivation primarily consists of True Qi Bar, Mana Bar, Divine Power Pool, etc. Without the support of the appropriate realm, one cannot exert too high an upper limit.
If we talk about Inner Power Cultivation, the characters Duan Yu and Xu Zhu in the Eight Heavenly Dragons far surpass Qiao Feng.
But as soon as it comes to combat, who in the same realm can contend with Qiao Feng.
In the martial world, there are masters of cultivating strange skills, obviously only in the Acquired Realm, able to absorb the Inner Strengths of others, and possessing True Qi more potent than Innate Realm masters, but genuinely meeting an Innate strong person, they still find it difficult to win.
If in the Western world, below Legendary status as a Wizard, having a hundred more or a hundred fewer mana values does not matter, what's crucial is holding various Legendary Spells and Legendary Abilities after breaking through to the Legendary, including corresponding Domain Law Divine Positions.
This corresponds to the realms and status in the Eastern world.
Daoist Zhang, using the stolen Heavenly Secret, erected a barrier in the cultivation path of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord, so that no matter how high his cultivation, he would find it difficult to break through the realm to verify the Dao, and in the end, would most likely have no choice but to ascend and shatter the void on leaving.
If the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord insists, he would fall right into the trap.
The descent of demon hordes.
Overturning of Heaven and Earth.
The backlash of these celestial laws could not be withstood by even him, and the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord would find it challenging to withstand, with high probability his human form perishing violently, even his primal spirit being severely damaged, by which chance he could slay the main body.
The Heavenly Secret is veiled.
The Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord is the root of all desires; he cannot conquer desires, nor can he battle against his Three Corpses, for the Three Corpses are the true self of the Great Freedom Celestial Demon Lord.
Thus, he cannot sever the Three Corpses, and with his love of grandiosity, has no choice but to prove the Dao through strength.
For Daoist Zhang.
