Borrowing a sword

Chapter 193 The Truth Behind the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth!
From this moment on, Chu Huaixu was no longer just a "variable" in Jiang Zhi's eyes.

Because he seemed capable of doing everything that a swordsman and a bronze sword could do!
More importantly, that sword was an evil sword; it was uncontrollable, only once irreplaceable.

But Chu Huaixu is different, and his Heart Sword is different too.

Evil energy is the most malevolent energy of heaven and earth. Although it can devour the primordial spirit, who knows if it will cause new trouble once it devours more and more?
Relying on it to solve the problem of the primordial spirit is ultimately just a stopgap measure, only because everyone has no new methods.

But it's different now.

"This time, I can truly say that 'a gentleman uses things, but is not used by things'!" Jiang Zhi thought to himself.

Originally, he planned to wait outside with Xu Ziqing after Chu Huaixu entered the Origin Spirit Realm, in case anything happened.

Now it seems there's no need to worry about the issue of the primordial spirit.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Zhi looked at Chu Huaixu deeply, her feelings becoming increasingly complicated.

This young man is clearly so handsome, one could say exceptionally handsome, yet today he just finds him more and more pleasing to the eye.

"Speaking of which, I still owe him a huge favor," he thought to himself.

"He has avenged his senior brothers and sisters!"

Inside the main hall, Chu Huaixu, who had accomplished this feat, began to actively extract information, asking, "So, when I enter the [Origin Spirit Realm], what I will face is the Primordial Spirit?"

He was starting to get a little excited.

If it's just this thing, then it's going to be a bloodbath!

The Heart Sword is extremely effective against this type of being, and it can be said to restrain it in every aspect.

However, Xiang Yan's reply was: "Yes and no."

He did not give Chu Huaixu an answer immediately, but instead said:

"There are two reasons why my junior uncle and I arranged for you to go down the mountain to fight the demons this time."

"First, I want you to learn how to kill."

"Secondly, it will help you understand what evil cultivators are like, so that you can gain some insight into the Origin Spirit Realm and the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth."

"Now that you have returned victorious from the demonic realm, there are some things I can tell you."

Chu Huaixu began to prick up his little ears, which were full of gossip.

The main event is finally here!

"In the Xuanhuang Realm, those of us who know about the existence of the Origin Spirit Realm generally believe that the evil cultivation methods in the world originate from the Origin Spirit Realm, or rather, they may very well originate from the Primordial Spirit."

"This evil method of advancing by devouring the spiritual embryos of others is not within the cultivation system of my Xuanhuang Realm."

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu frowned.

He had already understood the hidden message.

"So, the primordial spirit is an existence that does not belong to the Xuanhuang Realm?" he asked.

"That's right, you're very perceptive!" Xiang Yan praised, nodding in affirmation.

He glanced at Chu Huaixu, who was standing in the center of the hall, and continued:
“The primordial spirit, in essence, is the soul, the spirit.”

"Therefore, once you enter the Origin Spirit Realm, the enemy you will ultimately face is human!"

"He is someone who possesses a primordial spirit!"

"People from outside the Xuanhuang Realm!"

Inside the main hall, Chu Huaixu listened to these words, and his expression changed slightly.

He wasn't surprised that there would be people from outside the Xuanhuang Realm.

He himself is a time traveler, and he's not from the Xuanhuang Realm; he comes from Earth.
Therefore, it can be inferred that there is not just one world.

He simply hadn't expected things to be like this inside the [Origin Spirit Realm].

According to Xiang Yan's description, these people claimed to come from Kunlun Grotto Heaven.

It is estimated that the so-called Kunlun Grotto Heaven is the name of that realm.

The entire Kunlun Grotto-Heaven is basically the territory of a sect called the Kunlun Holy Sect.

Xiang Yan continued:
"The entire cultivation system of my Xuanhuang Realm is actually similar to a certain concept of my Taoist sect, which emphasizes the principle of 'following the natural way'."

"We cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish ourselves, and generate spiritual power within the spiritual embryo or the body."

"But once we die, then we will return to dust and ashes."

"Everything we take from heaven and earth will also be returned to heaven and earth."

"For us cultivators, a person's life is but a mere hundred years." "But the path taken by the Kunlun Holy Sect is completely opposite to ours."

"They actually intend to create their own world!"

"And they even dared to dream of living as long as heaven and earth!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu muttered to himself:

"Judging from the level of sophistication, it seems like the other side is a bit more high-class."

Going against the grain sounds impressive and awesome.

But no matter what, Chu Huaixu is a time traveler, and he is also a proud member of the group!

He has heeded the teachings, as everyone knows—we must follow the path of sustainable development.

We must protect the environment, purify the spiritual energy, and practice green spirituality!

—Building a harmonious and harmonious home for humanity and nature!

Sure enough, this Kunlun Grotto Heaven sounded impressive, but Xiang Yan quickly added:
"Because of the cultivation system, the entire Kunlun Grotto-Heaven showed signs of entering the Dharma-ending Age a thousand years ago."

"Therefore, the Kunlun Holy Sect began to try to find a way out."

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu immediately said, "So, the Xuanhuang Realm is the way out they found?"

“Exactly.” Xiang Yan nodded.

He continued, "In fact, once cultivation reaches a certain level, it involves the power of the origin of heaven and earth, which is equivalent to comprehending the Dao of Heaven and seizing a wisp of its power into one's own body."

"The [Fragments of the Primordial Origin] that you can obtain after entering the Primordial Spirit Realm are actually based on the same principle."

"With it, you will have embarked on the path to the Nine Realms and will not be stuck at the bottleneck of the Eighth Realm in the future."

"This wisp of the power of the Heavenly Dao is the most important foundation of the Ninth Realm."

"And in Kunlun Grotto Heaven, to reach the highest realm of their cultivation system, it is the same principle: one must absorb the power of the Heavenly Dao into oneself."

"But it is precisely because of this that they have entered the Dharma-ending Age."

"Because they are on a crooked path!" Xiang Yan, standing on the side of the Xuanhuang Realm, made this conclusion.

"In the Kunlun Grotto Heaven, the highest realm they call attaining enlightenment and becoming a deity with supernatural powers!"

"And do you know how this so-called Kunlun Holy Sect cultivates?"

Chu Huaixu shook his head, but as he heard this, the sense of familiarity grew stronger, and he began to have some guesses in his mind.

"It was a dark place that seemed to have no rules, a world where the strong were absolutely respected."

Opportunities can be seized, and fortune can be taken!

"As long as your cultivation level is higher, you can ignore everything, and killing and robbing treasures is commonplace."

"However, in this environment, if you can kill someone, someone of a higher level can also kill you."

"Within the sect, it's like raising poisonous insects."

"It seems that no one cares about the lives of disciples. Prodigies can trample on trash at will, and trash is despised. They don't even have the most basic human rights."

"In fact, many disciples are trained only to become expendable resources for high-level experts."

“Those who have attained enlightenment look down upon everything from a high vantage point, as if they were looking at a chessboard and the pieces.”

"Because their cultivation system is inherently evil!"

"The golden core you've cultivated can be taken by others!"

"The nascent soul you've cultivated can also be devoured by others!"

"This cannibalistic behavior actually allows them to grow stronger!"

"Anyone weaker than oneself can be regarded as an ant and taken at will."

"Furthermore, once you cultivate your primordial spirit, even if you are severely injured or nearing the end of your lifespan, you can still seize another's body and live another life!"

"They commit such heinous and beastly acts, yet they claim to be practitioners."

Xiang Yan paused for a moment, then slowly uttered two words:

"Cultivating immortality."

Finally, I've written this far. Taking advantage of this chapter's setting, I'd like to give Laohe and me a quick mutual recommendation for our books, a little cross-promotion: "Living as a Talent in the Initial Saint Demon Sect"~)
