Cultivating demons, Buddhism, and Dao, these three are not merely different in cultivation methods, much less about reaching the same goal by different paths.
The worldviews, life views, and values of these three schools differ.
The initial character foundation for entering the Dao is different. Some people grow up with a yearning for Buddhist teachings, no matter how complex the Buddhist philosophy is, they understand it upon hearing and are moved by great compassion, vows, and actions. Others, upon seeing a bald head, feel psychological and physiological disgust, and unless they curse twice, they don't feel relieved.
Some people have always preferred the Daoist carefree and unfettered life, dislike crowds, and shun disputes, becoming self-reliant and self-sufficient.
Others prefer the demon path's capricious ways, dominating others, taking from others' lack to supplement their own abundance, insatiable, selfish, and eager to seize all fame, wealth, and power in the world.
