To Gu Ping, the secret techniques of Cheng Zong, even if they were Divine Abilities, held no real allure. What he needed was the support of the entire Sect and control over all branches of the World of Mortals. Even if Lao Luo did not come tomorrow, Gu Ping would find a way to eradicate the Demon Cultivators outside of Cheng Zong.
For days, Gu Ping had remained behind closed doors, waiting for Lao Luo to provide an explanation. He hoped that Cheng Zong had not fallen apart completely. If Cheng Zong was already rotten to the core, Lao Luo would never allow Gu Ping to pursue the traces of demons. If Cheng Zong was not worth Gu Ping's effort anymore, he would disappear from Cheng Zong by morning and seek others who could stand by him.
Now it seemed that Gu Ping had not received the worst news possible, although he also did not hear what he most wanted to know.
Lao Luo allowing Gu Ping to investigate indicated that the matter concerning Cheng Zong was quite serious. The best outcome would be to immediately rectify the entire Sect, even though that would cause immeasurable damage to Cheng Zong. The worst outcome would be for everyone to turn a blind eye as if nothing had ever happened, while the Demoness Fish Princess continued her carefree existence in the World of Mortals.
All matters related to demons were shrouded in thick fog within the mire, and it required Gu Ping to venture into that swamp and struggle to clear away the mist.
As Gu Ping crossed the Righteous and Evil Battlefield, aside from the remnants of Broken Wall buried beneath rolling yellow sands, only the lingering bloodlust remained. Apart from the wandering Wraiths, no life could survive there; even creatures like decayed crows that thrived on death’s decay found it hard to exist. It was a world filled with slaughter where murderous intent could crush everything.
If he did not deny himself and constrict his heart, becoming a person devoid of feelings, it was likely that Gu Ping would have no way out of the Righteous and Evil Battlefield.
During those days in the small courtyard at Summit among Loose Cultivators, Gu Ping asked Yin Tianheng about demons and their nature. Yin Tianheng spoke at length, but what left a deep impression on Gu Ping was Liu Dong's initial question: what exactly is a demon?
Yin Tianheng himself did not seem clear on the definition of a demon, but he knew that those who harmed living beings were indeed demons deserving of justice's retribution—a belief that had always resided in Yin Tianheng's heart.
When Bu Luo discussed demons with Yin Tianheng, Gu Ping could clearly sense Yin Tianheng's unmasked disgust. It was akin to Yin Tianheng's critique of demons—the madness of the world and parasites feeding off living beings—ugly Evil Spirits.
From Yin Tianheng, Gu Ping learned that cultivators despised demons not only because Demon Cultivators cruelly used ordinary people's blood for cultivation but also due to past attempts by some to overthrow heavenly authority through demonic means. The entire demon race became victims during The Battle of the Three Realms.
In that battle, light emerged as the greatest victor; other sects profited while demons suffered immense losses—their sects destroyed and their foundations collapsed. In everyone's eyes, this would usher in a great era for the world.
In the eyes of Yin Tianheng, there was a denial of the greater defeat in the Battle of Good and Evil, a defeat that was not just against the demons but against humanity itself.
The door opened wide, stretching across the entire World of Mortals, except for the remnants of pride from the ancient royal court, the Great Qin Empire.
Time can wash away everything. If there were no beings like Yin Tianheng with long lives, humanity could forget everything, even the origins of their own existence.
The Battle of Good and Evil eradicated the demons, shattering the once unified human dynasty into pieces. The first Human Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty fell in battle, and the outer city of Tiandong City was completely sealed off. The Ying Clan inherited the throne and established the Qin Empire, under the care of those former celestial beings from the royal court.
The moment Yin Tianheng learned about the Nine Nether Invasion, he understood that it was a continuation of that unfinished war from years ago. The ten-thousand-year truce had allowed every faction to accumulate enough power.
Some sought to erase all traces of an era, while others fought to preserve the truth of human history. Who was right or wrong had become unclear. Gu Ping knew he wanted more people to survive that war, even though no one could escape a conflict destined to affect the entire world.
Thus, he sought out traces of demons; he sought control over power; he sought to pursue greatness.
After sending off Lao Luo, Liu Dong and the others exchanged glances in the courtyard.
What should I do now?
Cai Jiang frowned. Having heard tales of those cruel deeds since childhood, just hearing those two words sent chills down his spine.
After some time, they would take a trip to Dongshan, waiting for everyone to feel that matter had passed.
But I have only just begun to lay my foundation.
Gu Pingming's red Yang Buqi means that, indeed, his Ru Ming's cultivation seems too weak in their eyes. Bu Luo is also dismissed in their view.
