呼!

As if an invisible yin wind blew out from the void, stirring up the fine dust and fallen leaves on the long street.

It seemed desolate and eerie.

Da~~~

The crisp, rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed like drumbeats, accompanied by a desolate and ancient song coming from afar.

It was not Qi Tang, not even a human language, nor a language born among the demon race, but an extremely complex and tongue-twisting sacrificial text.

Its meaning was unknown, yet it still sent shivers down one's spine.

"This, this..."

Hearing the faint song, Tu Ba and Cai Xiaobai, who were playing around, shuddered and noticed the strange changes around them.

Unknowingly, the people on the long street had disappeared, and the previous noisy storytelling, brawling, and toasting in the restaurant had all vanished.

Strangely, they hadn't noticed this at all until they heard the peculiar song.

Immediately, both little demons felt a chill run down their spines.

Although this ancient city could not compare to Dragon Tooth City or Dragon Horn City, the largest cities of the Dragon Path, it was still a city with tens of hundreds of thousands of residents.

To disappear completely in the blink of an eye was simply too bizarre.

It felt as if the world had been shifted in an instant, transporting them to another space without their knowledge.

"Bo, Bodhi..."

Tu Ba was a little nervous, while Cai Xiaobai had already jumped off the table and hugged An Qisheng's leg.

Although he had only been enlightened for less than a year and had only known An Qisheng for a few months, the little guy certainly knew who was more reliable.

Tu Ba glared at him fiercely, leaned out of the window, and listened to the approaching footsteps, his expression both nervous and excited:

"Is this the aura of a great demon ghost?"

Since his enlightenment, he had not seen many demons, let alone such an eerie existence.

Yet he felt no abnormality.

Had it been himself a few months ago, he would have fled at the first sign of such a situation, regardless of whether they were friend or foe.

"Perhaps not..."

An Qisheng shook his head slightly, a glimmer of unfathomable light flashing in his eyes.

The thing in the city could not move millions of living beings in an instant under his gaze. The reason for their disappearance was simply that a layer of something similar to a restriction or formation was added to the original city.

Tu Ba and Cai Xiaobai couldn't see it clearly, but it was naturally impossible to hide it from him.

"But this aura..."

His eyes flickered slightly, and a hum vibrated in his heart.

Deep within his mind, unseen by anyone, a seed surrounded by seven colors silently 'broke ground' and grew dense, tender branches.

Like its seed, it had seven colors.

Realm was different from power, just as Dao attainment was different from mana. The two complemented each other, indispensable, but with clear priorities.

The former was like a channel, and when the channel was formed, it was easy to pour water into it.

An Qisheng's realm may not be high, but after rising and falling time and time again, the solidity of his foundation was beyond doubt.

When he wanted to cultivate, it was naturally countless times easier than ordinary people.

Especially in this Da Dao Ji world, where the spiritual energy was even denser than in the Myriad Yang Realm, although it was impossible to achieve sainthood on the spot, there was no need to follow the established order.

The moment he came into contact with the spiritual energy of the seven Daos – Daoism, Buddhism, Gods, Demons, Monsters, Ghosts, and Confucianism – he had already crossed the realms of Qi Nourishment, Talisman Receiving, Warm Nourishment, Natal, and Entering the Dao.

This seven-colored seed seemed to be his Natal, but it could also be called the Golden Elixir.

What it contained was the essence he had extracted from the spiritual energy of the seven Daos.

Since he had decided to do as the Romans do, he naturally had to learn from others' strengths to make up for his weaknesses. Although cultivating multiple Daos at the same time was like a fantasy for the people of this world, it was nothing to him.

Buzz~

As An Qisheng's thoughts moved, the seven-colored branches stretched out, and he heard the faint murmuring in his ears:

"Ignoring the Venerable One, one day you will be killed by that tree spirit..."

Along with Da Zi Zai, the so-called 'Supreme Heart Demon System' was stuffed in.

Of course, like Da Zi Zai, this so-called system was also split in half. Half was stored in the Bodhi tree, and he got the other half.

And this system, along with Da Zi Zai, was suppressed in the seven-colored Dao seed.

"A puppet parasitic on the so-called system, what does it know?"

An Qisheng replied casually.

But he used the seven-colored Dao seed to sense the origin of the strangeness in the city. He had been walking in the wilderness for several months. There was a reason for entering the city.

The spiritual energy of Daoism, Buddhism, Demons, and Monsters was the strongest of the myriad spiritual energies in this world. The only things truly unique to each other were these seven Daos. The gathering of these old spiritual energies was enough to capture ninety-nine percent of the spiritual energy in this world.

In an instant, An Qisheng had captured the origin of the city's cold energy.

But he couldn't help but frown.

Hoo~

As An Qisheng's gaze narrowed, the aura in the city suddenly changed again.

The singing emanating from the gloomy and eerie atmosphere came to an abrupt halt, and the sound of footsteps slowly stopped.

At the end of the distant street, in the shadows, a pair of cold, scarlet eyes had pierced through the void and focused on the restaurant where An Qisheng was.

"Jie Jie Jie Jie~~~"

A dry, ear-piercing ghostly howl echoed through the city, and a red shadow emerged from the shadows.

It was a bald man wearing a red, cassock-like robe, his exposed muscles showing nearly perfect lines.

At first glance, it seemed that every inch of his skin was filled with explosive power, making him intimidating.

"Hehe~"

The red-robed bald man licked the corner of his mouth, looking at An Qisheng with a smile that was not a smile:

"Little demons have no eyes but have good fortune, stumbling into this God's ranch? Very good, very good."

God?

God!

An Qisheng's expression was indifferent, but Tu Ba's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the ghostly red shadow in disbelief:

"God?"

Who in the world didn't know about Gods?

As the most honored and noble group of people in the world, even now, they had countless devotees who worshiped them sincerely.

Although he was a demon, he had heard of the Gods.

But the person in front of him, ghostly and eerie, was also a God?

"Hmm?"

An Qisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes falling down: "You said ranch?"

"The Emperor herds the heavens and the earth, the Gods herd all living beings. This city is precisely my ranch. I am the God who herds this city, Tian Ren!"

The red-robed man touched the top of his head, which had no hair at all, and took a deep breath.

Hoo~

Strands of smoke-like gas floated out of the houses and into his nose and mouth.

Visibly, the bald man's aura was becoming more and more condensed and cold.

"Spiritual energy..."

An Qisheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he had already seen what the aura that the bald man was breathing in and out was.

It was clearly the spiritual energy that was born in the human body.

He swallowed the spiritual energy of humans, and the spiritual energy he exhaled then entered the human body, and in this swallowing and exhaling, the spiritual energy had some extremely subtle changes.

It seemed to become more agile and pure.

Using the people of this city as containers to understand the spiritual energy for cultivation...

An Qisheng's eyes flickered, but he thought of the subtle things he had seen in the spiritual brand of the Night-Wandering God.

The Gods herd the heavens and the earth, and all things are used by the Gods.

This was not a rumor, but a guideline, the first guideline for the survival of all races and all spirits in the distant years.

"It's been a long time since the harvest, but it's a waste to have so much for nothing."

A trace of intoxication faded, and the red-robed man seemed to smack his lips with some regret: "The lives of these livestock are still a bit short..."

"Spiritual energy between heaven and earth is available at will, what's the use of nurturing energy with people?"

An Qisheng swept across the city.

Under the dim, invisible barrier, the aura of the people in the ancient city, frozen before the appearance of the red-robed man, suddenly plummeted.

It was like finally closing your eyes after days of sleepless, high-intensity labor.

And with the red-robed man's exhalation, strands of spiritual energy filled in, allowing them to avoid dying on the spot.

"This city is one of my ranches, and the whole city is my livestock. It doesn't matter if the un-enlightened monsters stray in and eat one or two, but a little demon that has become established dares to be presumptuous. It seems that this God has been asleep for too long..."

The red-robed man was extremely tall, but his voice was hoarse and piercing, with a kind of gloomy and cold aura that seemed to have just crawled out of a pile of dead people:

"I herd people but not demons. In the past, I would kill or eat most of the demons I saw, but this time I have been asleep for many years and have not tasted them. Since you have run into me, you can help this God reminisce a little..."

At this point, he paused, then licked the corner of his mouth:

"The taste of land demons is great, the smell of water demons is fishy, but the elves of plants and trees have always been the most sweet and delicious..."

His eyes were scarlet but without murderous intent, and his gaze towards An Qisheng was like a gourmet seeing delicacies, with only the desire to feast and no intention of destroying them.

Sensing this gaze, Tu Ba felt a chill in his heart, the hair on his body standing on end, and he could no longer suppress his timid nature, almost running away.

"There is no grievance between you and me in the past and no enmity in recent days. Just because I strayed into this place, you want to put me to death?"

An Qisheng's eyes were calm, but he sighed lightly on his face:

"This is really unreasonable..."

The worlds were different, and the Da Dao Ji world, or the Imperial Heaven World, was much crueler than the human world affected by spiritual energy.

Because there was an unimaginable chasm between gods and humans.

"Reason? It's really the cognition of ants..."

As if he had not been awake for long, or simply did not care about the three little demons in front of him, or for other reasons, the red-robed man, who called himself Tian Ren, smiled dumbly:

"The strong are respected, and the weak are despised. This is the only truth in this world!? Are you worthy to talk to this God about reason?"

Tian Ren had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. All that was there was indifference and coldness. In his opinion, the three little demons in front of him were just ants that were slightly stronger than the livestock in this city.

A slightly stronger ant was still an ant.

These were this person's words, but they reminded him of someone he had met a long, long time ago.

But even that person who believed that 'reason is greater than the fist,' what was the ending?

"That's right."

The sharp aura rushing towards them made Tu Ba and Cai Xiaobai, hiding under his legs, feel hairy, but An Qisheng nodded.

"Hmm?"

Seeing An Qisheng slowly getting up, Tian Ren's eyes moved, as if he saw something extremely interesting, and a cold smile appeared on his rough face:

"You..."

Boom!

Before Tian Ren could finish speaking, a loud noise like thousands of thunderclaps exploding at the same time had resounded through the ancient city.

In an instant, the ancient city shook violently.

Layers of ripples rippled in the void, and the invisible barrier suddenly trembled, like a lake into which a boulder had been thrown, the ripples spreading out.

Bang!

The sound wave exploded extremely quickly!

But compared to An Qisheng, it was extremely slow.

Tu Ba only heard a huge roar, and the dome of the restaurant had been completely lifted, and the howling wind rolled up billowing smoke and dust and spread, and in an instant, the entire city was shrouded in it.

"He..."

Tu Ba's face twitched wildly.

But the speed of his thoughts was too slow. Before he could recover, he heard an even louder and more high-pitched collision sound!

Rumble!

The earth was shattering, and the sky was full of dust.

The huge ancient city seemed to be turned upside down, and the ripples rippling in the void rippled against each other, like huge waves.

"You!"

The sound of shock and anger flashed and disappeared.

A seven-colored streamer rose from the ground like a dragon, pulling out an extremely ear-piercing sonic boom, blasting Tian Ren into the sky and throwing him away for hundreds of thousands of miles!

The wind was rolling in the sky, and the vast smoke was rolling and stirring, and the rampant spiritual energy was like thousands of azure dragons roaring, and for a time, it filled the sky, and the celestial phenomena changed drastically.

Between the collision of clouds and mist, there was a cold flash of lightning.

Hoo hoo~

Listening to the roaring wind and sonic boom, Tu Ba woke up from his dream, reached out and picked up Cai Xiaobai, who was squatting on the ground in a daze, and with a point of his feet, rushed out of the restaurant shrouded in billowing smoke.

"Oh my god, Bodhi is so fierce..."

Tu Ba hid in the corner with a face full of cold sweat, ready to escape at any time, while tremblingly looking at the figure in the city, like a dragon, surrounded by smoke and dust, with seven colors intertwined like a dragon, immortal and god-like.

At this moment, even if he was stupid, he would not think that he could 'subdue' such a terrifying monster.

Hoo~

The air was rolling, and the dust was floating.

In the divine light of seven colors, An Qisheng stood on the eaves of a house, staring at the raging aura in mid-air, like a volcano about to erupt.

Beneath the indifferent expression, there was an unspeakable taste in his heart.

It was like breaking free from shackles and seeing the true self.

Or it was getting rid of the shackles and being unscrupulous!

Bang!

It was as if the void was broken by a head.

Tian Ren, who had been blasted into near nudity, stepped out, and his strong, mountain-like body had golden blood flowing on it, and at the junction of his drooping arms, there was a shocking fist mark.

This punch almost shattered his arms!

His expression was shocked and angry, and there was an unspeakable tremor, and his voice faded from the hoarseness and became extremely high-pitched:

"Can control the seven Daos of Daoism, Buddhism, Gods, Demons, Monsters, Ghosts, and Confucianism? Who are you?!"

Boom!

A roar was even more powerful than the roar of a dragon and tiger, and even overwhelmed the lightning and thunder of the changing celestial phenomena.

The pain on his body could not compare to the shock in his heart. He was blown away by a blow, and the first thing that came to his mind was disbelief.

The Heavenly Sage passed on the Dao, the Brahma Sage passed on Buddhism, and the Demon Sage passed on the Demon.

Although Daoism, Buddhism, and Demonism have similarities, there are many who enter the Dao from Demonism and enter Buddhism from Daoism, but cultivating one Dao, changing to cultivating one Dao, is the same as practicing all the laws together.

This is fundamentally different!

Tian Ren's expression was shocked, and his heart was constantly trembling, and he thought of the past.

In his memory, there was a peacock who was extremely proud, practicing the five elements and five colors, and practicing the five Daos concurrently. His power could defy the sky.

He laughed proudly at the heavens and the earth, and ran rampant in the six realms, and few could restrain him.

This person, this person...

"Reason..."

While his mind was agitated, he saw a seven-colored radiance rising from the ground to the sky, filling the endless spiritual energy between the heavens and the earth, and turning into a seven-colored divine tree that stood tall in the sky.

In an indifferent and cruel posture, he whipped towards himself:

"You are indeed not worthy!"
