The teacher here doesn't refer to the close relationship between Nezha and Nuwa, but is more like a modern teacher-student relationship, considered a term of respect.
When Nezha asked this question, Hong Jun indeed showed a smile. This time, Nezha didn't misread it.
The old man pointed at Nezha and unceremoniously said, "You are the demon."
Nezha was startled for a moment, then said without hesitation, "You are also the demon."
When Nezha spoke like this, Hong Jun didn't show any sign of anger. The current Hong Jun understands his future self, just as the future Hong Jun understands his past self.
He doesn't need to speculate on what his future self wants to do, only needs to know what he needs the most right now.
The biggest problem Hong Jun is facing now is his heart demon. Others see him as meticulous, as Dou Luo Hou seizes the Saint Position and prepares for Harmonization, it all seems so smooth.
But he alone knows how much hesitation, panic, anxiety, and worry about the future he has experienced to reach this point.
These negative emotions are undoubtedly the nourishment for the growth of the heart demon. Now, seeing that he is about to harmonize, he must eliminate these negative aspects of himself.
Who should handle this matter?
He himself can't act, because the power of the heart demon comes from him, and acting himself would be a double consumption. What if he needs just that bit during Harmonization?
So he must use someone else's hand, preferably someone who 'doesn't exist' in this era. All things can have demons, but the Daoist Ancestor must not, at least not on the surface.
Now the tool has arrived.
Hong Jun smiled and asked, "So what do you want to do?"
Nezha said firmly, "Remove the demon, protect the Dao."
"Good."
After the Daoist Ancestor finished speaking, his shadow began to twist. Before long, a dark misty figure resembling Hong Jun appeared in front of Nezha.
Hong Jun's heart demon, suppressed by him very miserably, now appeared somewhat foolish by the Daoist Ancestor's cut, looking not very smart.
Nezha wouldn't care if his enemy was a fool, grabbing the Godslaying Spear, he went up and stabbed three holes into the heart demon. The heart demon, after all, was the Daoist Ancestor's heart demon, in just a few breaths Luo Hou's consciousness fully descended.
He looked at the holes in his body, then at Nezha holding the Godslaying Spear, and for a moment, had a feeling of reverse Heavenly Gang. The Godslaying Spear was my Magical Treasure, you're now using it against me, is this right?
He reached out wanting to use his means to retrieve the Godslaying Spear, but the response he got was actually resistance. Nezha's spearhead had been blown up at least thrice by Luo Hou, the Godslaying Spear is not a passive Dharma Treasure, why would it want to return?
"Good lad, you dare to seize the ancestor's Magical Treasure!"
Nezha paid no mind to the heart demon's soliloquy, instead observing the heart demon's condition. He concluded that the Godslaying Spear's damage to the heart demon was not ideal.
Retrieving the Godslaying Spear, Nezha's thoughts ran in circles only to find there wasn't a suitable Magical Treasure against Hong Jun's heart demon. The Chaos Bell and Pangu Banner were certainly effective, but now Nezha couldn't bring them out, one was in Taiyi's hand, the other Hong Jun had just gifted to Yuan Shi.
If he suddenly took out these two now, the current Heavenly Dao's CPU would likely overheat.
Since Magical Treasures were ineffective, Nezha opted for the simplest method; the best way to overcome the heart demon is to face it directly, "Ori Give!"
Nezha mustered the Great Dao within himself and directly crushed upwards. Meanwhile, Hong Jun gently pointed towards the two, and the space where Nezha and the heart demon were expanded infinitely, as if they were inside the Zixiao Palace and yet seemed not to be.
This was the Duel Platform that Hong Jun created for the two.
Simultaneously, the suppression on the two was instantly lifted.
You two go ahead and fight, I've lectured for a hundred thousand years, it's time for a break, enjoy a spectacle!
Perhaps because the heart demon had been sealed for too long, or maybe Luo Hou was adapting to the demon body, the heart demon's response was not only uncoordinated but also slightly dull.
Nezha launched a punch, directly flattening it from the front, the demon shadow instantly shattered.
The heart demon of Hong Jun, fallen!
Or not.
Nezha watched the demon shadow being eroded by his Power Dao without the slightest joy of victory, as the Daoist Ancestor's heart demon could not possibly be so weak, and indeed it wasn't.
After only a moment, the area where the demon shadow was crushed reformed, and the entire aura even became stronger.
"Young one, do you think you can kill me?"
Nezha was silent, swung down a domineering fist with the Power Dao again, crushing the demon shadow into dust once more.
Before long, the dark mist became dozens of times stronger than when it was reborn. The sky was enveloped in black mist, which enclosed Nezha, as Luo Hou's voice came from within.
"Kid, only using brute force can't hurt me."
The countless gun shadows formed by the Slaughter Dao in the black mist directly attacked Nezha, but Old Luo, he still couldn't forget the Godslaying Spear!
Nezha completely ignored Luo Hou's provocations, clashing with the Power Dao, using himself as the center, terrifying power flattened outward, the Slaughter Dao and Power Dao ground against each other, the demon shadow was swept clean again.
Only moments later, wisps of dark energy formed out of thin air in the void, as Luo Hou's voice echoed once more.
"Kid, I already said, your attacks are useless against me."
Nezha remained calm, observing the heart demon's rebirth process more carefully. This time he finally understood in his heart that his attacks were not without effect; instead, Hong Jun's heart demon was able to utilize a part of Hong Jun's Creation Dao.
Every time he killed it, it reformed itself through its connection to the source of the Creation Dao, creating an illusion of ineffective attacks.
Moreover, as time passed, Luo Hou gradually gained control over all the abilities of this heart demon, becoming increasingly difficult to handle, with each death becoming stronger than the last as proof.
"Luo Hou, you've already lost. You don't actually want to continue fighting me. You lost to the Daoist Ancestor, and now you're just a stinking mouse hiding in a hole, living in disgrace."
Luo Hou's long-winded rebuttal had no effect, but as soon as Nezha opened his mouth, it silenced him, because Nezha was right. From the moment he revived in this Hong Jun heart demon, he never intended to fight. He only wanted to escape Hong Jun's control.
After a long silence, what erupted was endless anger.
"Kid, what do you understand? I didn't lose. Hong Jun is treacherous and cunning; if it weren't for his tricks, I would definitely have beaten him!"
Nezha, who could directly confront the later Demon Ancestor, found the current Luo Hou appearing a bit too 'young.'
"He is now worshipped by billions as the Daoist Ancestor, while you are a despised stinky mouse shouted at by everyone; where are all the 'ifs' you're talking about?"
This sentence completely broke Luo Hou, because, despite a plethora of words, the fact remained that he, Luo Hou, was destined to be suppressed by Hong Jun forever, and had the reverse scenario been true, he wouldn't have allowed Hong Jun any chance to overturn either.
"Quick-witted, the ancestor might not manage Hong Jun, but surely I can handle you?"
"Then give it a try."
Nezha, after a long tugging back and forth, thought of a way to deal with the demon body's 'immortality.'
He instantly activated more than twenty Protective Dharma Treasures, while he himself launched the Twelve Duterrestrial Gods Evil Formation, gray array patterns like traces of Chaos outlined his body, and before long, they became united.
Buddhist Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Ear Technique, Divine Power, Telepathy, Destiny Communication were all activated, the body was once again elevated to the Saint's level, endowed with some characteristics of Chaos Origin.
Subsequently, Nezha directly sealed all consciousness, and the entire Dao Body, lost of conscious control, seemed to turn into an empty shell.
The body of a Saint must be controlled by the consciousness of a Saint, and controlling the current cultivation with Nezha's Divine Soul was like a small horse pulling a large cart; not only would it not run, but it would tire the horse to death.
So Nezha simply didn't pull this cart, run on your own, I'm not minding you anymore!
Luo Hou furiously attacked the Dharma Treasures protecting Nezha, only to find a terrifyingly aura-ridden Nezha standing there dumbly, motionless once they were broken through.
For a moment, he was a bit confused about what trick Nezha was playing. With a thought, a black mist formed into gun light, aimed with destruction and slaughter, stabbing towards Nezha's forehead.
Only to be directly gripped three inches away from the forehead by a hand, forcefully crushing the gun light, Nezha's flesh eyes appeared empty, yet the body had already begun moving to lock onto the enemy by instinct.
