Tianyan Dao Fa, Golden Red Two Lights

  Blazing Inferno Cultivator; Level 13 - True Immortal; Race: Omniling

  He glanced at the information bar and knew that the Taoist riding a black tiger in front of him, although with an unpleasant face, was among the highest level of immortals present, on par with Lingming Taoist, both being 13th-level True Immortals.

  Lietuo Dao Ren urged the Black Tiger forward while laughing loudly: "It's been a long time since we've met, fellow daoists! I pay my respects!"

  The Taoist priest stepped forward and said: "Fellow Taoist has courtesy." After making a slight bow, he asked again: "I don't know where the friend below is..."

  The Blazing Fire Taoist didn't dismount from the Black Tiger, instead he patted its head and made it shake its head and swing its tail. He burst out laughing and said: "This is my newly subdued mount! Fellow Taoist, take a look!"

  His words had a somewhat boastful tone, seeking praise from the audience. However, none of the Taoist friends responded as he wished, and instead they all said: "Friend, you were too rash in this matter!"

  The Blazing Fire Taoist was displeased and said: "What does this mean?"

  "This black tiger has clearly transcended its beast form and become a demon, under the protection of the Demon Realm's Heavenly Court! If you ride it as your mount, it will invite revenge from the demon tribe!"

  Lihuo Dao's face changed immediately, and he retorted: "But a mere little demon like you, how could there be such a thing? What's more, what's so great about the Demon Tribe's Heavenly Court? We cultivators are mostly transformed from ancient spiritual objects, our identities are noble, how can we be compared to those hairy, horned, wet-born and egg-hatched creatures?"

  Everyone's face changed upon hearing this, and they hastily said: "Brother, be careful with your words!"

  "What's wrong? Are all of you fellow Taoists afraid of that demon tribe? Now that the Supreme Saint has become a saint, we cultivators have the protection of the saint, what is there to fear from the demon tribe? Even if it's here, Senior Yuan Xing is also one of the Purple Mist Three Thousand Guests, with a status equivalent to that of the Demon Emperor, why should we be afraid of them! Even if they come knocking on our door, Senior will surely display his divine might and eliminate them!"

  Ling Ming Daoist heard this and finally changed color, shouting loudly: "What are you saying! We were not abandoned by Yuan Xing, the predecessor who transmitted the great law to us. How can we cause trouble for our predecessors like this!"

  Ling Ming Daoist seemed to have a high reputation among the crowd, and his scolding was echoed by everyone, even those who were originally watching from the sidelines also opened their mouths.

  The Blazing Fire Taoist saw the Spiritual Brightness Taoist open his mouth, and many others echoed in agreement. Knowing that he had provoked the anger of the crowd, although he still didn't think much of it in his heart, he said with his mouth: "This humble Taoist has misspoken! This humble Taoist has misspoken! Please forgive this humble Taoist, fellow Taoists!"

  He said it several times in a row, seeing that the crowd was still not convinced, and angrily shouted: "If it's that demon clan coming, I'll block it alone! No matter what, even if I die, it has nothing to do with all of you fellow Taoists! Are you satisfied now?!"

  The crowd saw him speak like this, with a face full of anger, and a few points away from taking action, so they didn't continue, shut their mouths and sat back down. The Lingming Taoist let out a sigh and also sat at the stone table, sipping tea alone.

  This brief conversation was only a moment, and Bai Ye stood by silently, observing the expressions of everyone, taking everything in at a glance.

  "I didn't expect that there are already cultivators who look down on the demon tribe now - 'hairy and horned, born from eggs', this phrase has appeared quite early! However, listening to this, it seems to have a somewhat sour tone!"

  It's worth noting that although 'hairy and horned, born from eggs' is the origin of all demons, it doesn't mean their status is low. Isn't the three-legged golden crow hairy and horned? Aren't the ancestral dragon and phoenix born from eggs? Where is their status low? Even the guides for the heavenly emperor, Nüwa and Fuxi, don't dare say their own status is higher than theirs!

  In the midst of a sleepless night, cultivators who are in the midst of their cultivation journey feel somewhat dissatisfied with the current situation where the demonic tribe's power is overwhelming and the cultivators' power is weak. They grasp onto one weakness of the demonic tribe's existence and specially bring it out to severely strike at it, indicating that they hold themselves in high esteem and look down on the demonic tribe as being beneath them.

  "Is it that the Lingtong in the mouth of Lie Huo Dao is a manifestation of the spiritual object, which means the spirit of all things? Is the manifestation of the spiritual object one of the ten thousand spirits?"

  Bai Ye thought for a moment, and then remembered Lihuo Dao Ren's words about Laozi: "It seems that Laozi's ascension to sainthood has started to change the situation in the Hongyuan. Although Nüwa is a disciple of the Daozu school, she still has the identity of a demon clan after all. In terms of cultivation, people are more inclined towards other disciples of the Daozu!"

  "Just Laozi becoming a saint is enough to make cultivators produce such thoughts. If Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian and Zhunti all become saints at the same time, then it will be utterly delightful!"

  After a moment of contemplation about the chaotic situation, Bai Ye scanned his surroundings with a sweep of his eyes, took two steps back and distanced himself from Lie Huo Dao Ren.

  This fierce fire Taoist received the great kindness of Yuan Xing Taoist's transmission, but not only did he not think of repaying it, but instead wanted to borrow his power to resist the demon tribe and share the disaster... This kind of ungrateful and unrighteous person is best kept at a distance! Not to mention other things, looking at how this fierce fire Taoist acts, it's not just that his moral character is shallow, it's likely that he's deeply entangled in karma as well!

  "Huh? That's right, I haven't used my Heaven's Eye technique yet, let me try it out now?"

  As soon as I thought of it, the system's Taoist method dropdown menu opened in the white night, and after clicking on the Tianyan option, I felt a surge of Taoist power inside me, which split into a thread and flowed into my eyes, giving them a refreshing feeling. When I looked up at Lihuodao Ren, he was indeed different.

  But saw several small characters on the information bar of Lihuo Dao Ren

  Blazing Inferno Path; Level 13 - True Immortal; Race: Omniling; True Form: Blazing Ember Tree

  This Lianyanmu is a spiritual tree, and Baiye once heard Fuxi say that although it can't be said to be an ordinary tree, it's not a precious species either. At most, it's just a spiritual tree. There are no leaves on its branches, but instead, there are small flames, making it a tree with flames growing on it. Normally, it absorbs the fire attribute yuanqi from heaven and earth to grow, except for water and soil, it doesn't need any other nutrients, which is quite mysterious.

  "It turned out to be Lianyinmu's transformation, no wonder it was named after fierce fire."

  It's not just the information bar that has changed, Lihuo Dao Ren's entire body is now radiating light, like a light bulb! The light is divided into two colors, one gold and one red. The golden light is bright and majestic, forming a circle of light that clings to his body; the red light is dark and cold, sticky and thick, flowing outside the golden light, trying to break through the defense of the golden light circle and enter his body!

  At this time, the golden light was only a thin layer, while the red light was vast and endless, constantly surging inward, some had even penetrated into the golden light circle, transforming into silk threads wrapped around his body.

  Suddenly, Bai Ye had an epiphany: golden light represents merit, while red light represents karma!

  Look at the fierce fire wrapping around this person's body, and you'll know that this person has little merit but many karmic obstacles! I'm afraid it won't be long before great disaster strikes and calamity befalls them!

  "Sure enough, he's an ignorant and immoral person!"

  In an instant, Bai Ye looked towards Ling Ming Dao Ren again.

  Lingming Daoist; 13th rank - True Immortal; Race: Wanling; True Body: Purple Spirit Jade

  The Lingming Dao person is much better than the fierce fire. Although the merit and virtue golden light is only slightly more than that of the fierce fire Daoist, it is still a thin layer, but the karma red light is very little, less than one percent of that of the fierce fire Daoist, and under the illumination of the merit and virtue golden light, they cannot move or stir, let alone exert their power.

  "This Lingming Dao person is indeed someone who can be socialized with!"

  With the Heaven's Eye, Bai Ye took a look at all the immortals present and found that almost every immortal had some extremely small amount of merit golden light, but their karma was not the same, with some having more and some having less. The one with the best situation was Ling Ming Dao Ren, while the one with the worst situation, without a doubt, was Lie Huo Dao Ren.

  "This merit and virtue light is possessed by everyone, and the total amount is similar, it's probably the innate merit and virtue that comes with oneself!"

  In the vast expanse, each person has their innate virtues. These innate virtues are inherited from Pangu's transformation into all things and also obtained through one's own body. For example, the Three Pure Ones of Pangu have the virtue of opening up the sky, which was passed down from Pangu; while Emperor Jun's virtues, to a certain extent, were due to the sun shining on the vast expanse, nourishing all things.

  This innate virtue or merit is more or less possessed by all living beings in the vast and remote antiquity. Fude Zhenshen Yunzhongzi, for instance, had a lot of innate virtue and became a well-known auspicious immortal.

  Next, Bai Ye chatted with the Taoist priests while waiting for Yuan Xing to open the altar. Of course, those he interacted with were all virtuous gentlemen selected by Tianyan - wanting to make friends with beneficial people!

  Three days later, Yuan Xingdao appeared as he had said before.
