171 Should He Feel Awe at Those Peaks? (2/2)

Chen Pipi no longer looked natural as he did on weekdays. He stared at Ning Que's eyes as he said with a cold voice, ”Ning Que, I have to warn you that if I know you go for diabolism, I won't let you die from madness but destroy you directly.”

Did Devil's Doctrine live on the human bodies or try to stimulate the spirit in this way? If human-eating meant being possessed, then was this world replete with the people cultivating the Devil? Ning Que remembered the numerous pictures he had seen during the drought of the North that year and many memories he was reluctant to recall when walking hard at the foot of Min Mountain. His facial expression became kind of stiff.

”Devil's Doctrine sneaked into the Wilderness after being beaten by the righteous party. Now there are very few schools left in the Central Plains. I do not think any other school dares to live on human beings. Maybe some schools choose a more normal method to improve the bodies?”

After a moment's silence, he said, ”If those schools of Devil's Doctrine use the cultivation method that doesn't hurt innocent people, why not try it? Since the Academy requires openness and tolerance, why do you so care about the difference of diabolism?”

Chen Pipi shook his head and solemnly said, ”Even those people of diabolism don't hurt innocent people during the cultivation, but they also hurt themselves. The practice method that takes the life as a bet is not the gift given by Haotian, but more likely to snatch the light of Haotian. Even if there is no problem with the cultivation method of diabolism, this idea itself is wrong and will only turn people into inhuman ones.”

Ning Que thoughtfully asked, ”How to distinguish the right and the wrong? How to distinguish between human and non-human?”

Chen Pipi looked at his eyes and said seriously, ”People must know the awe while living in the world.”

...

...

Ning Que officially entered the path of cultivation, with the peak-ascending triumph for less than half a day, and suddenly found a few higher peaks in the distance. Those peaks stood in the clouds, extremely high and steep. With his qualification, Ning Que seemed never to climb them up. Therefore, he inevitably felt a little sad.

Besides the sadness, he even had some desperation he did not dare to utter - Even if he could go on cultivation with the ten acupoints in his Ocean of Qi and Mountain, how could he compete with those young men who have been in Knowing Destiny State and the successors of different schools walking around the world? It was understandable when he could not cultivate in the past, for he and they had been in two different worlds. However, he and those real powerful men were now in the same world, which made him realize the big difference more realistically and clearly.

How could he shorten this gap within the shortest time? How could he make the ten acupoints in his Ocean of Qi and Mountain no longer be an obstacle to cultivation? Ning Que, who had entered the Back Mountain of the Academy to ask the help from Chen Pipi, naturally began to look for shortcuts or non-righteous methods.

He has never encountered the people of diabolism if not counting the Great Sword Master playing with broken fingers at the North mountain. He has never read any one of the diabolism cultivation manuals, but only heard some introductions of the old man Lyu Qingchen on the trip. It was these brief introductions that made he vaguely find the possibility for success. Unfortunately, the serious or even cold attitudes of Lyu Qingchen and Chen Pipi made him soberly realize that if he did not want to become Linghu Chong chased by the Wu Yue Sword School, he had better not try this road.

It was not bad if he really could become Linghu Chong. The problem was that Linghu Chong had the Devil's Doctrine saint Ren Yingying as his wife and its leader as his father-in-law, so he would be enjoyable to go on the Devil cultivation with such a nepotism. But what did he have? Only a black little handmaiden and his best friend who was the most righteous one among the righteous party.

In front of Haotian divine light and the right course of the Academy, Ning Que finally realized that Devil's Doctrine that has been powerless no longer had any development space in this world. The difference between good and evil was as meaningless as turning Paris's Eiffel Tower upside down. To go on the Devil cultivation would only end in tragedy. He has long made his mind not to turn his life into a tragedy.

Devil's Doctrine now was like a mouse across the street, which everyone cried to beat. Ning Que believed that if the others knew that he has been interested in the cultivation method of Devil's Doctrine, he must have an extremely miserable ending. However, Chen Pipi would not betray him. As his best friend, the fat lad could not act like the law enforcement team of West-Hill Divine Palace's Judicial Department, who subconsciously took a fire-punishment station upon hearing a word like Devil even if a poor magician was tied to the station. It was a kind of academic research. Why so serious?

Thinking of these vacant things, Ning Que went down the Back Mountain. But he did not notice the strange eyes of those classmates in the study room, and absentmindedly went out of the Academy.

There were two horse carriages quietly waiting for him beside the meadow outside the Academy.

Old Duan sat on one of the horse carriages. Another one was also black, with a carriage made of some unclear wooden materials. It looked extremely hard and thick, with all kinds of complicated decoration carved on the board. The steed in front lowered its head and gently shook, which looked extremely bored.

Ning Que guessed out the owner of this horse carriage and talked with Old Duan for a few words. Then Ning Que first asked him to take the horse carriage back to the city, and then cleaned the clothes before walking to the front of this black horse carriage. Ning Que greeted a bow with hands folded in front and said, ”Nice to see you, Master.”

The horse carriage's curtain was drawn by an old hand. Master Yan Se exposed his head to yawn and looked at Ning Que as he annoyedly said, ”You've promised to follow me this afternoon. What time is it now? Even the Academy is a good place to stay. But you're just in No Doubts State. Besides, Headmaster of Academy has not come back yet. What can you learn here? Why spend such a long time in it? Did you sleep in the grass?”

Ning Que was surprised and did not expect that he has guessed it right. Was it possible that Divine Talisman Master had the ability of fortune telling?
