The Heart Moon Fox observed the entire chess game. It could swear it had never seen such a breathtaking match.

Moreover...

The entire chessboard was clearly a practice of the righteous method pointing straight to the Great Dao.

One could even say it was a tutorial game.

Xu Qing was "guiding" Red-haired Yan Kong.

Various perplexities grew within the Heart Moon Fox's heart.

Boom!

As Xu Qing placed a piece, the surrounding earth energy gathered, surprisingly forming a "Tai Chi Diagram" centered on the chessboard.

"The Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao, this humble monk is well aware of it, alas, what a pity..." Red-haired Yan Kong said leisurely.

Xu Qing smiled: "The Great Dao is hard to hear, but today I've heard it. I kindly ask Master for compassion to fulfill my wish."

Red-haired Yan Kong: "Xu Gongming, you are indeed sentimental and righteous. But to cut out a notion of compassion injures me considerably, there should be compensation."

Xu Qing: "Naturally, as long as Master cooperates, I'll compensate you with a Martial Arts Grandmaster."

"Very well."

The Heart Moon Fox was a First Generation Demon King, with remarkable insight. Combining its understanding of Red-haired Yan Kong, it quickly realized that Xu Qing was trying to save an old acquaintance.

That old acquaintance was the "Yan Kong" old monk who Red-haired Yan Kong once parasitized.

This person was originally the abbot of the Golden Ray Monastery. Because of Red-haired Yan Kong, he lost control of his body, and it seems now that his consciousness hasn't completely dissipated.

Xu Qing was cherishing old ties, taking the initiative to rescue him from the plight.

"This young man is really passionate and righteous."

Even standing from the past opposing standpoint, the Heart Moon Fox also admired Xu Qing's actions.

The human world is an endless Sea of Suffering, even Shakyamuni could only save himself. Xu Qing could, after achieving the Dao, remember an old friend and spend a great deal to help him out of calamity, which is indeed a move full of personal charm.

After all, whether it's the Demon Path or the Immortal Dao, cultivators are mostly selfish.

And an afflicted old friend is, in a sense, an emotional burden.

Today save this one, tomorrow help another, the entanglement of cause and effect, indeed endless.

For example, Heart Moon Fox, given a chance, wouldn't even save its own true self!

This is the normal behavior of a cultivator.

But what cultivator wouldn't want a friend like Xu Qing?

It's fine to be cold and unfeeling oneself, but still hope an old acquaintance will give a hand in times of tribulation.

"Is the Fox King here to join the fun?" Xu Qing casually pointed, revealing a stone bench.

The Heart Moon Fox sat down, not daring to use Charming Technique in front of Xu Qing, and said: "There has been some disturbance in the Capital, so I wanted to inform the Bodhi friend, but didn't expect to meet Young Protector Xu."

Xu Qing laughed heartily: "We, who have attained cultivation, rarely gather. As the saying goes, it's better to meet by chance than to invite purposely. Since we've met, let's sit and discuss the Dao."

Heart Moon Fox smiled charmingly: "How about we discuss that chess game?"

Xu Qing smiled slightly: "Since the Fox King is interested in the Purple Mansion Golden Core Dao, let's talk about it."

Heart Moon Fox: "You really agree to that."

It was very surprised.

After all, even as an observer, it could see that this Dao was extraordinary, stealing creation from the heavens and seizing mysteries from the sun and moon. A cultivator possessing this Dao would hide it meticulously as the ultimate method and never pass it to others.

Xu Qing: "The Dao is like a mountain, the method like a mountain path. Tell me, is it better for fewer people to walk a path, or more?"

The words left Heart Moon Fox momentarily stunned, then it sighed: "As expected of the present-day Wen Qu Star."

In its view, Xu Qing already had the heart and capacity of a supreme expert. Even if not yet the top of the world, it would be sooner or later.

Throughout history, which of the world's pinnacles didn't disclose the Great Dao they comprehended?

This is confidence, and also expansion of the Great Dao.

An individual's wisdom is limited, the wisdom of all beings is limitless.

The Buddha saving all sentient beings is also a means for all sentient beings to save himself.

The reasoning is this, yet few truly practice it from ancient times to the present.

Red-haired Yan Kong: "My master Chongyang True Master once said, those inferior to him are not the true teachings of Quanzhen Dao, those equal to him are not the true teachings of Quanzhen Dao, those surpassing him are the true teachings of Quanzhen Dao. At that time, I didn't understand its meaning, but now I do."

At this moment, its tone was from the perspective of Yum Yangzi, the previous incarnation of the Red Moon Zen Master.

Xu Qing laughed heartily, "No need to say much, let's begin."

Xu Qing truly hadn't thought so much, doing these things entirely according to the nature of the Heavenly Demon.

Now that he had the power, he could save Yan Kong from calamity, why not do it?

Where one's heart inclines and the capability exists, just do it.

The Master said it well, "A gentleman is not a tool," and the Daoist Scripture also says "A great vessel does not serve its purpose."

In essence, both are conveying the same truth, which is not to define oneself, but to remain undefined and thus all-embracing.

The bronze mirror said he is a Heavenly Demon, that is the bronze mirror's perspective.

If the Immortal Dynasty continues to develop, in the eyes of the world, why wouldn't Xu Qing be seen as a First Generation Taoist Ancestor?

But Xu Qing is neither a Heavenly Demon nor a Taoist Ancestor, not even "Xu Qing."

Now, he transforms through the Heavenly Demon Transformation, evolves the great method, and with each step, gains deeper understanding.

The "Dao" is realized through action, not through words.

Xu Qing did not hide his insights into the Purple Mansion Golden Core from Red-haired Yan Kong and Heart Moon Fox.

Yet after listening, Heart Moon Fox was greatly disappointed instead.

Because it was simply unattainable.

The Great Dao of the Purple Mansion Golden Core was there, but it was also a form of selection.

Those unsuitable, simply are unsuitable.

No reasoning could bridge it.

On the other hand, Red-haired Yan Kong listened intently, engrossed.

In the process of Xu Qing's narration, the roots of the blood-red Bodhi Tree subtly shed a hint of blood color, revealing a deep green...

Deep green neared the mysterious.

The Bodhi tree roots inherently harbored a mysterious aura, rising and falling.

Experts from Righteous, Demon, and Demon Paths discussed the Dao. Although the Heart Moon Fox was a later entrant and couldn't benefit from the Purple Mansion Golden Core, it still joyfully integrated into the atmosphere, immersed in ecstasy.

Just when this blissful desire seemed endless.

The Heart Moon Fox felt ethereal, its Smell Fragrance Great Method activated on its own. A peculiar fragrance emerged around the Blood Bodhi Tree, nurturing the surrounding vegetation, which began to dance joyfully.

If someone arrived here and overlooked the sinister and terrifying nature of the Blood Bodhi Tree, it would truly appear as an Immortal Realm pure land.

Being here, life would be without regret upon death.

Soon, however, a sky-piercing blood aura and shouts of battle shattered the tranquility.

The Heart Moon Fox was jolted, calcuated secretly, "It's already been seven days."

It, engrossed in the discussion, birthed a desire for pleasure, completely neglecting the passage of time.

When awakened by the killing intent, it realized seven days had passed.

It was just like the Immortal Chess Game recorded in Ancient Books.

Xu Qing smiled at Red-haired Yan Kong, saying, "They have arrived."

He waved his sleeve, a hand as white as jade extended, pointing out a finger.

…

…

Lama Shanzhi led the Blood Executioners in hunting and killing members of the Demon Hunting Bureau.

Relentlessly chasing and blocking, cornering them outside the mountain gate of the Great Zen Temple.

Households Commander Zuo, Guo Zhuang brothers, and others were all injured, suffering terribly.

Lama Shanzhi saw they were at their wits' end and smiled, saying: "Your current state of mind is perfect for using to reconstruct the altar with flesh and blood."

It turned out, he intentionally left them alive, using methods akin to specific slaughter techniques, where the beasts move around first and are driven to despair before slaughter, thus the resulting flesh was exceptionally fresh and sweet.

Just as Lama Shanzhi was about to deal the lethal blow.

The clouds in the sky parted, a finger descended, as unstoppable as fate.
