Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1231 A True Good Person? A Hypocrite?
Soon, the world returned to normal.

Si Chong smiled and waved his hand. The rooms in the pavilion were immediately rearranged. The Daoist Master of Cultivation was moved to another room, leaving only him and Lü Yang in the original room.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

As Lü Yang looked at Si Chong in front of him, his mind raced. Even now, he still couldn't quite grasp what Si Chong's personality was like.

However, one thing is certain: this person is definitely not without guile. At least during their first meeting, he instantly realized his hint and then cooperated with him without any guile. At the time, he probably just wondered what he was doing.

So, what should we say?

Thinking of this, Lü Yang lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a long time. On the other side, Si Chong also did not speak first, but carefully examined him as well.

A few moments passed like this.

"【The Method of Traversing the Mortal World】".

Lu Yang finally took a deep breath and slowly said, "Senior, could you tell me about this Primordial Spirit Technique? I am currently seeking the path to the Primordial Spirit."

"You want to learn?"

Si Chong's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, and he then smiled and said, "Of course, the [Traversing the Mortal World Method] focuses on good and evil, and is about refining one's true self from within good and evil."

Yes, that's pretty much what the Great Sword Sect said.

These two couldn't possibly have conspired together, so either Si Chong tricked the Great Sword Sect along with everyone, or he genuinely shared everything without reservation.

Lu Yang was analyzing things as usual.

When Si Chong was talking about the concepts of good and evil consciousness, he suddenly said, "If we cultivate in this way, most people would choose evil consciousness as the main focus, right?"

Upon hearing this, Si Chong's expression stiffened slightly.

After a pause, he sighed, "Indeed, it was all too profound back then. I was too hasty and shouldn't have passed on the method first."

"Oh?" Lü Yang raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by that?"

"When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame."

Si Chong said frankly, "I believe that people's hearts change with the environment. When the environment is good, people's hearts will naturally become better."

“My idea at the time was to lead by example, and then have my disciples go out of their way to create a relatively stable and benevolent environment for cultivating in the sea of ​​light. In this way, the practitioners of my ‘Traversing the Mortal World’ method would naturally follow the path of goodness, thus forming a virtuous cycle.”

"But the senior failed."

At this point, Si Chong's sigh grew even heavier: "Although I had made all the arrangements, Du Xuan ultimately chose to prioritize evil consciousness."

I've also heard about this matter.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang frowned: "In the end, it seems that the senior only had a big argument with that person, and then did nothing, and the meeting ended on bad terms."

Si Chong raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, understanding the implication in Lü Yang's words, and shook his head, saying, "It seems you don't have a concrete concept of my primordial spirit technique. The so-called good and evil are actually completely subjective matters, not absolute. Even if evil consciousness is the main factor, the changes are not necessarily undesirable."

"How do you know?" Lü Yang countered.

"like me."

Si Chong pointed to himself: "Fellow Daoist, in your opinion, which line of consciousness did I choose to refine my primordial spirit when I created the Primordial Spirit Method?"

No need to think about it?

As the universally acknowledged great sage of Guanghai, Si Chong is certainly...
'Wait, no way?'

In an instant, Lü Yang's pupils shrank, and an unbelievable thought suddenly popped into his mind. Then, Si Chong confirmed his guess.

“That’s right, I also chose evil.”

At this point, a hint of nostalgia appeared in Si Chong's eyes: "Fellow Daoist, do you know what the name of the first cultivator who sensed the Dharma Body Dao was?"

Lu Yang shook his head.

"In fact, I do not know."

Si Chong laughed: "The records are too ancient. The specific names have been buried in the past. Only the surname has been passed down because of bloodline."

"They are called the [Situ Tian Clan]." "I come from such a large family. The characteristics of the Dharma Body Dao determine the importance of bloodline. At that time, there were actually many similar families."

"Although I have some talent, the three families were at odds at the time, and everyone was secretly targeting the other families' prodigies and weakening their younger generation. So if it weren't for the protection of the elders in my family, I would have had a high chance of dying young. To this day, I am still grateful to them."

"so."

At this point, Si Chong looked at Lü Yang and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what do you think the benevolent and malevolent consciousnesses that I condensed were when I refined my primordial spirit?"

After a moment's thought, Lü Yang suddenly realized the truth.

As is well known, after Si Chong attains enlightenment, he spreads his teachings throughout the vast ocean of light, without regard to social status or background. In addition to the Dharma Body, he treats all magical arts and powers equally.

"Is this the sole and supreme Dharmakaya?"

"Fellow Daoist, you understand immediately."

Si Chong nodded: "At that time, based on my understanding from the first half of my life and the kinship of blood, my good intentions were to exclusively honor the Dharma body and destroy magical power and spells!"

“But my evil thoughts are the ocean of light that spreads the truth.”

But if this act is evil, then I am willing to show no mercy.

Suddenly, looking at Si Chong's calm face, Lü Yang felt a chill and couldn't help but whisper, "What about your good intentions? Could it be that..."

"Ah, fellow Daoist, there's no need to worry about this."

Si Chong immediately smiled: "After all these years, I have made some progress. Now, only my true self remains, whether good or evil, it is still me."

Lu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, doubts still lingered in his heart, and he couldn't help but continue, "What about the Dao Lord of Cultivation? Was his birth also your doing?"

He asked directly. If it were someone else, he would have tried to probe, but for some reason, he didn't want to make assumptions about Si Chong.

This was a rare moment of candor for Lü Yang.

And he was met with the same honesty.

"It's really me."

Si Chong remained calm and said indifferently, "I taught Wan Bao the specific method, but Wan Bao probably forgot it on his own."

"As for the reason, it's actually quite simple."

“Back then, the First Sage snatched the Heavenly Book from me, and not long after, Wanbao successfully cultivated his primordial spirit. I knew he must have taken a shortcut.”

"So I met with him in private and found that he was primarily focused on benevolence. That's when I offered him a way to resolve the hidden dangers in his primordial spirit. At that time, I had already decided to fight the First Saint, but victory and defeat are common in war. Although I also have some cultivation, I dare not guarantee that I can defeat the First Saint."

"And if I die."

“Du Xuan is bound to have problems. He only gained control of the magic power because of me back then, so his foundation is not solid. I am worried that his cultivation will be shaken because of this.”

“It’s hard for me to die, but it’s different for him.”

"So I specially prepared this method and taught it to Wanbao. Wanbao will naturally help him so that he won't get into trouble because of my death."

"At the same time, this method also benefits Wanbao."

“I can tell that he also has some dissatisfaction with the initial saint. The only reason he hasn’t turned against him is because his cultivation level is not high enough, so he helped him out.”

"Moreover, if everything goes smoothly, the birth of a brand new primordial spirit might even give me a chance to survive. Killing three birds with one stone, why not?"

Si Chong's tone was very calm.

Only at this moment did Lü Yang finally form a preliminary impression of this saint, whom everyone in Guanghai held in high esteem and who ranked first in the credit system:

The stigmata and the celestial realm are not the same.

Perhaps he also harbored good intentions, but his good intentions were sharp and ruthless. Beneath the appearance of the Saint of the Light Sea, there was no shortage of scheming and ruthless methods.
