Phoenix's reliance on overcoming inner demons has never been through preaching, but through the sound of the Dao.
Things that are chaotic can become orderly through her scolding.
Inner demons are cunning, and if they join forces, they can actually suppress the sound of the Dao. However, they all want their comrades to fight in the front while they take advantage from behind, ultimately resulting in a series of defeats.
Phoenix is a professional when it comes to competing in vocal strength.
Grateful for Yuan Feng's innate abilities granted to this body, she can hold her own in a verbal duel with one hundred people and still maintain the upper hand.
With the power of the sound of the Dao, the clamor of inner demons was forcefully suppressed, and the Dao Palace returned to its normal lecture mode. As if all the chaotic noise before didn't exist.
Phoenix no longer blabbers aimlessly but instead grandly recites the Huangting Canon to the many inner demons. There is no issue of revealing secrets here. If she were to convert the inner demons with the Huangting Canon, she would undoubtedly be a great savior of the Taoist sect, and it would be impossible for her to become a saint through meritorious achievements. However, ascending directly to Taiyi Golden Immortal should not be a problem. Unfortunately, this can only be dreamed about. The Tao and demons have been intertwined for too long and too deeply; in fact, the demons may even understand the teachings of the Dao more deeply than those who practice it.
Phoenix's goal when lecturing is not the inner demons but rather the numerous subordinates trapped by them.
As her narration progressed, the eyes of giants like Yan Gong and old Zhu began to regain a sense of clarity, while the inner demons were losing battle after battle. The recovery speed was particularly fast for someone like old Zhu, who had at least heard about Dao in the Taoist sect. The whole Dao Palace started to collapse from the outside in, showing a trend of rejoining chaos, but the numerous listeners sitting in the hall seemed oblivious, still immersed in their own realization of Dao.
Phoenix has been observing the old man next to her, who only spoke twice at the beginning and then let her lecture the inner demons on the Huangting Canon. What does this mean? Is it that inner demons cannot simulate the Demon Ancestor, or is the Demon Ancestor currently very weak, unable to project into the inner demon world?
She delivers the sutras according to her own steps, the Outer Lands Sutra, and the Inner Lands Sutra, giving a standard Taoist explanation, and adding a lot of Lishan Old Mother's and her own interpretations.
It can be seen that listening to the Huangting Canon does not lead to the inner demons' liberation; instead, it makes them increasingly irritable.
Inside the Dao Palace, it's not just Phoenix's inner demons, but also those of old Zhu, Juelingshen, and numerous Taoist generals. It can be considered a non-real world formed by the fusion of many inner demons.
Phoenix can calm her heart like a still pond and maintain clarity of mind through the external brain. She can talk to the inner demons for an hour without any problem. However, she cannot control others' thoughts. Once these heavenly generals turn into demons, the inner demons will take physical form, and the burst of mental power that follows will be tenfold, even a hundredfold stronger.
Phoenix quickly gives him a hint, seeing that Lao Zhu seems to have fully recovered.
What does it mean when the Deputy Commander-in-Chief gives you a hint with his eyes? Lao Zhu found himself in such a strange place, with all the Taoists around him looking gloomy, and the atmosphere making him very uncomfortable. He was panicking and trying to figure out Phoenix's intention. This thing had not been discussed beforehand, nor had there been any secret code. Who knows what your eye color means?
He was in a hurry and seemed to have attracted the attention of the inner demons around him with his anxiety. Aha, you've actually come back to your senses? Then there's no point in keeping you!
Lao Zhu, with the wisdom of a divine inspiration, suddenly remembered his past experiences of listening to teachings under the great Taoist master in Xuan Dou.
In fact, he only went to listen a few times by chance, and he was not even a named disciple.
At this moment, he recalled the content of defeating inner demons that the Xuan Dou Grand Master had once delivered. He felt that he should help Phoenix, point out the key to the overall situation, and finally lead everyone to escape.
He guessed that he should act as a member of the atmosphere group at this moment, so he shouted loudly, "General, we can't delay our troop's expenses any longer. We need to support our families. It's been delayed until tomorrow, and tomorrow until the day after tomorrow. To fight a war without giving us money for our lives is too stingy!"
Phoenix roared, "Hold your tongue! How dare you, a shameless scoundrel! What face do you have to appear before the ancient kings of the Yin Dynasty?"
Lao Zhu was taken aback, "The ancient kings of the Yin Dynasty? Do you think they will answer your call? Failing to pay our brothers their blood and sweat money will lead to regrets!"
Tolerating the sharp pain in her throat, Phoenix again utilized the sound of the Dao and declared, "I am the Marshal!"
The thin and withered old man next to Phoenix was stunned beyond words.
You are too shameless, not even giving us our blood money! You are more evil than the demon path!
The voice of "I am the Marshal! You will regret it!" echoed throughout the Dao Palace. The inner demons next to Lao Zhu shattered into powder first. The notion that a higher rank can crush people deeply permeates everyone's mind, and the Taoist generals subconsciously obeyed the order. Their demonic barriers were broken one after another, and it was as if a domino effect had been set off, with each inner demon shattered, followed by the recovery of consciousness by the Taoist generals one after another. Finally, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the thin old man's body.
The old man's eyes flashed a faint evil light, and a bizarre and indescribable aura filled his body. At the moment when the inner demon world was on the brink of collapse, it revealed an extreme evil, which then took tangible form as his unique Dao body.
Phoenix reacted instantly, flipping her eyelids, and made a connection between her own heart and moon Dao.
She waved her hand at the Dao body in front of her, "Old fellow, stop wavering, you're useless. I have a naturally poor vision; I can't see clearly at all!"
The thin and withered old man said nothing.
It also split in half from the middle. Even the inner demon world, which had merged multiple inner demons, could not bear the existence of a high-ranking entity. Phoenix is indeed not clear-sighted at this moment. Her Dao body, no matter how it poses, is useless. Farewell!
The non-realistic Zixiao Palace disappeared, revealing the true world of the demon world.
"Ah-Cha-Cha!..." Phoenix half-kneels on the ground, coughing violently and repeatedly using the sound of the Dao, which causes great discomfort to her throat. She even coughs up blood.
She disconnected her spiritual connection with the Moonlight Daoist, returning the "nearsightedness" debuff to her own body. Such a useful debuff is something for her true form to enjoy gradually.
She stood up and looked around.
Six thousand elite troops and numerous flying boats are scattered around a black lake.
Calculating with her fingers, she is very certain that this is the Demon Yuan Realm.
They just entered this realm and were immediately surrounded by countless inner demons. Phoenix relied on the sound of the Dao to repel the demons, and now it will depend on each general's fortune when they will regain consciousness.
"Ah Yv?!" Long Ji slowly came to consciousness.
Looking at Phoenix with her eyes, she is full of suspicion. Is this the real world now?
Phoenix pointed to her hand and traced a Feng Seal "Ji" character.
"A Yu! It's really you, that's great! Your character has been a big help!" The Taiji diagram's vitality had helped Long Ji in the fight against the inner demons. Without that "Ji" character constantly keeping her alert, she wouldn't have woken up so quickly.
