175: Holy Queen
Among the demon gates, there are four sects, six realms and ten major branches. Among them, the first is of course the Tianji Sect.
The Tianji Sect belongs to the lineage of the first generation of Demon Gate Holy Lords, and has mastered the two great masters of the Demon Gate's deepest Dao Fetal Seed Demon and Great Compassion Fu. In terms of selecting successors, the requirements are extremely high and strict. So much so that there are often decades or even hundreds of years without a suitable successor, relying on the "scripture protector" to inherit all kinds of mastery of the Tianji Sect.
But on the other hand, the Tianji Sect either has no heirs, and once it does, then it must be a great master who is amazing and brilliant, and rare in the world. Therefore, as long as there is a descendant of the Tianji Sect, there will be nine branches of the Demon Gate, including the three sects and six paths. He must only bow down to the descendants of the Heavenly Extreme Sect and respect him as the new generation of Demon Gate Holy Lord.
If the descendants of the Heavenly Extreme Sect are not born, then among the other nine sects of the Demon Gate, the most outstanding one will definitely be the "Infernal Affairs". Since the establishment of the Demon Gate in the Han Dynasty for nearly two thousand years, except for the Tianji Sect, the number of times that Infernal Affairs disciples have served as the Holy Lord of the Demon Gate is the largest.
The first Demon Gate Holy Lord of that year had two books. One is the Book of Heaven, and the other is the Book of Life and Death. The former includes the Dao Fetal Seed Demon and the Great Compassion Fu, which is the mastery of the first generation of Holy Lord's own cultivation. The latter only records the various miscellaneous studies of the first holy kings.
After the death of the first Holy Lord, because the Dao Fetal Demon Seed and Great Compassion Fu were too profound, the rest of the Demon Sect turned to study the Book of Life and Death. and then fused the doctrines of the hundred schools of thought, and created another method of cultivation on his own, which gradually developed the four sects and six paths of the demon gate.
For nearly 2,000 years, generations of people in the Demon Gate have written based on their own experience, wisdom, and insight. These writings were eventually included in the Book of Life and Death and became part of it. Therefore, the Book of Life and Death has become the supreme collection of the Demon Gate, along with thousands of kinds of skills. In terms of content, it is more than ten times more complex and vast than back then.
Strictly speaking, today's "Book of Life and Death" is divided into thirteen volumes, scattered among the nine sects of the Demon Gate. Among them, Infernal Affairs has five volumes. In these five volumes of "The Book of Life and Death", it is recorded that among the Demon Gates, there is a peerless study second only to the Dao Fetal Demon and the Great Compassion Fu - Purple Blood Tianhua Da/Fa.
This is a masterpiece. It is divided into six articles and eighteen layers. From shallow to deep, it is the chapter of form and spirit, rigidity and softness, virtual and real, space, disintegration, and reincarnation. Progressively, profound, and mysterious at the same time. However, it also captures the wonder of heaven and earth, and has the power of penetrating heaven and earth.
According to the comments of the Demon Saint Li, it is believed that if he can really cultivate this peerless sect to the eighteenth layer of the peak, although it is still not as good as the "Dao Fetal Demon", it is already enough to surpass the Great Compassion Fu, dominate the Demon Gate, and stand alone in the martial arts.
With the support of the Purple Blood Tianhua Great/Law, Infernal Affairs has the weight of authority within the Demon Gate, second only to the Tianji Sect. But Infernal Affairs has another characteristic, that is, the suzerain of each generation must be a woman.
In fact, Infernal Affairs does not only accept female disciples. The ratio of men and women in the door is roughly about 50 to 50. But it is because the purple-blooded geranium is more suitable for women's physique, so in the past two thousand years, the disciples of Infernal Affairs who can cultivate this peerless discipline to the seventeenth layer of disintegration, or even the eighteenth layer of reincarnation, have always been daughters, without exception. No matter how hard a male disciple tried, at most he could only cultivate to the sixteenth level, and then it would be difficult for him to make progress. Therefore, the position of suzerain can only be firmly held by women.
In addition, compared to the single lineage of the Heavenly Extreme Sect, Infernal Affairs is thriving. Generations of talents have emerged, and masters have continued. As a result, he is firmly in the second position among the ten branches of the Demon Gate. As long as the Heavenly Extreme Sect is not born, then Infernal Affairs is a well-deserved leader of the Demon Gate.
About a month ago, the Holy Lord of the Demon Gate was the Sect Master of the Tianji Sect, the "Lonely Marquis" Gongshan Shangqing. He only had one disciple, and that was the Demon Saint Spirit. But at that time, Infernal Affairs also had a very outstanding disciple named "Snowy Frost" Yu Bingqing. Lonely Hou also admired her very much, and said that it was fortunate that she was a woman. Otherwise, he would have to make an exception and snatch Yu Bingqing from Infernal Affairs, and take her as an apprentice.
Although the matter of accepting apprentices could not be realized, Lonely Hou was very enthusiastic and wanted to combine his apprentices Li Jingshen and Yu Bingqing into a pair. After the two met each other, they did feel like-minded and had a good impression of each other. The two once worked together to explore the rivers and lakes and did many great things.
Later, Lonely Hou felt that his limit was approaching, but he was still at a loss for how to break through the shackles and cultivate the supreme mastery of the Demon Gate of the Dao Fetal Demon. So he set out to pursue the legend, the cave blessed land where the glazed treasure is buried. It's gone.
Since then, Li Jingshen has not only taken over the position of the sect master of the Heavenly Pole Sect, but also become a new generation of Demon Gate Holy Masters. Although Yu Bingqing has not officially married Li Jingjing, everyone in the Demon Gate knows that they are already a pair made in heaven. So everyone called Yu Bingqing "Holy Queen".
But good things are destined to be grinding. I don't know what happened later, but there was a contradiction between Li Jingjing and Yu Bingqing. Although both sides exercised some restraint and did not reach the extreme point of fighting each other, they finally parted ways and never interacted with each other again.
Cheng Li also tried to ask the Demon Saint how the two of them broke up back then. But no matter how tempting the Demon Saint was, he insisted on never mentioning the past. only said that the fault was on himself, so he didn't blame Yu Bingqing.
After the two parties broke up, the Demon Saint traveled alone in the rivers and lakes, experienced several relationships, and owed a lot of romantic debts. Then he met the King of Destruction when he was a teenager. The two sides did not know each other without fighting, and in the end they cherished each other and turned enemies into friends.
The Demon Saint took this as an opportunity to help the King of Extermination do a lot of things, and gradually stayed away from the disputes in the rivers and lakes. After the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Demon Saint lived in seclusion in a secret place that no one knew, and wholeheartedly, forgetting to sleep and eat to study how to cultivate the Dao Fetus and Cultivate Demons. When it really lives up to its name, it is "two ears do not listen to things outside the window, and concentrate on studying the Demon Sutra".
Finally, the Demon Saint finally thought that he could use external forces to use the method of "controlling emotions with feelings" to cultivate Dao Fetal Demons. This retreat has finally made a breakthrough. So he re-emerged from the mountain, only to find that his friend King Annihilation had been missing for a long time, and the Holy Queen had long since disappeared. The Demon Gate lost enough people to suppress the ten branches, and once again reverted to a state of scattered sand and separate affairs.
The Demon Saint has no intention of unifying these rabble. I just tried to find the whereabouts of the Extermination King and the Holy Queen, but I didn't get any exact news, so I gave up and focused on cultivating the Dao Fetus Demon Cultivator.
Due to fate, Cheng Li dealt with the Exterminating King who had reappeared in the rivers and lakes, so he knew why the Exterminating King disappeared in the first place. At the same time, it has also come into contact with many branches of the Demon Gate. But these branches of the Demon Gate do not include Infernal Affairs. Therefore, Cheng Li also knew nothing about the whereabouts of the Holy Queen.
But Cheng Li could no longer have imagined that just today, he actually inadvertently knew the whereabouts of the Holy Queen. It turned out that the Holy Queen of the Demon Gate back then turned out to be the current Empress Dowager of Great Wei, the titular mother of the Son of Heaven.
