Chapter 366.2 (1/2)
The Master of The Profound Yin World
“Just a bit more! As for the plucking session with women, I have already satisfied that requirement. With regards to my comprehension of the cultivation method, it’s almost enough. However, I still need to understand what Yin and Yang means from another perspective! I’m Ning Fan, a devil cultivator who can only view these two words from the perspective of devil cultivation. If I just rely on my own perspective, it will be a biased understanding and would not let me understand the true meaning of Yin and Yang. Therefore, I need to know a righteous cultivator’s understanding of it!”
Ning Fan let out a laughter which was loud enough to make the Black Orchid Island tremble. No one knew how many women had been disturbed by his deafening voice from their spring dreams.
“Wait for me here. I’ll be back within seven days!”
He made a step forward and vanished into a trace of mist, flying out of Black Orchid Island.
He travelled all the way to the west and passed by the Xuan Wei Sect in the west region of the External Endless Sea.
It was a low-profile righteous sect which only had hundreds of cultivators. The strongest cultivator within this sect was an old man at the Gold Core Realm.
Cultivators of the righteous Dao were considered as aliens in the Endless Sea. They were people others would slaughter at will.
Despite lacking in strength, this Xuan Wei Sect was still able to survive, upholding the Dao of Righteousness. It must have its own way of survival!
In the Xuan Wei Sect, most disciples were either in secluded meditation or slumber except for a few disciples who were assigned to patrol at night.
The night was cool like water. In the study room, the old ancestor of Xuan Wei Sect was holding a scroll of a scripture in his hands. Despite having an air of righteousness, what he was reading was unexpectedly a scripture about the Devil Dao!
Ning Fan seemed to have understood something.
An old ancestor of the righteous Dao is studying the Devil Dao. Is this the reason why the Xuan Wei Sect can survive in the Grave of Cultivators?
A gust of wind blew into the study room and Ning Fan’s shadow emerged. The candlelight flickered due to the wind.
“Qing Feng, Ming Yue, haven’t I told you that I don’t like anyone disturbing me when I’m reading scriptures at midnight?!”
The elderly man lifted his head unhappily. When he noticed that the person who entered his study was an unfamiliar cultivator, he suddenly felt shocked and alerted.
“Who are you?!”
*Shua*
The old man immediately rose to his feet with his face not showing the slightest trace of fear.
Even though his cultivation base was weak, he had his own righteous Dao. This righteous Dao within him was so strong that it would not be destroyed even if he was reading the devil scriptures!
Under the dim candlelight, the old man gradually got a clearer view of Ning Fan’s face.
As soon as he saw him clearly, he felt like a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured upon him from his head. Cold sweat began to trickle down from his forehead.
“V-Venerated Ming!”
He was stunned by Ning Fan’s aura!
This was all because Ning Fan’s name was just too scary. After his notoriety had been spread around in the Endless Sea, innumerable forces strived to buy the jade slips containing his face so as to not offend him without recognizing him when they encounter him in the future and avoid being annihilated!
“I will ask you something and you will answer me!” Ning Fan’s tone sounded like he would not take no for an answer. The old man who was breaking out in a cold sweat did not even dare to refuse.
“Yes...”
“What’s your name?!”
“My name is Zheng Tong. I’m the old ancestor in charge of the Xuan Wei Sect.”
“Are you a cultivator of the righteous Dao?”
“Yes, I am…”
“You’re a righteous cultivator and I’m a devil cultivator. Why do you fear me? Isn’t eliminating devils the responsibility of cultivators of the righteous Dao?!”
“How will this junior be bold enough to do so?! In this world, the righteous path and the devil path are just a single thought different from each other. Even though the cultivation methods for both Dao are different, they both ultimately lead to the one Great Dao. Instead of holding on to the differences between the righteous and the devil paths, why not devote ourselves to cultivating wholeheartedly and focus on practicing. There are countless kinds of devil and righteous Dao. My righteous Dao is to preach, teach and protect the lives of my disciples from any danger. If I can ensure the safety of my disciples, I’d still claim myself to be a cultivator upholding the righteous Dao even if I fall into the devil Dao!”
The old man just had an Early Gold Core Realm cultivation base. However, his Heart of Dao was firm when he spoke. It was obvious that he had always served the devil sects for the safety of his own sect but he was not ashamed of it.
The righteous Dao that the old man pursued was not the pureness of his own name but to protect the safety of his disciples.
If there was no justice to uphold, there was no point in claiming oneself as a cultivator of the righteous Dao. The justice of this old man was everyone in the Xuan Wei Sect!
“Well said. I see. In your heart, Yin and Yang are just a single thousand different from each other. If one adheres to their conscience and true intentions, they could still claim themselves as Yang even if they fall into Yin.”
Ning Fan stopped, musing in silence. He then flicked his sleeve and left several bottles of pills there. At the next moment, he turned into a cooling breeze and disappeared into thin air in front of the old man.
“What a profound speed… Huh? These are Fire Separation Pills!”
The old man was greatly astonished. The Fire Separation Pill was a type of invaluable high-grade Third Revolution pill in the Endless Sea. To Gold Core Realm cultivators, it could be used to increase their magic power by a great deal. If one had sufficient pills, they could even break through to the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm from the early stage in one go!
With these pills in hand, the day for the old man to attain the Mid Gold Core Realm was not far away. The stronger he becomes, the more capable he would be at keeping his disciples safe!
He was a good master. The kind of goodness he had had nothing to do with kindness or evil, nor with being righteous or devilish.
The old man found it difficult to calm himself down. He looked at the direction where Ning Fan had left with a grateful expression.
He surmised that the reason as to why Ning Fan had asked him those questions was to achieve a breakthrough in some kind of bottleneck or shackles in his cultivation. Therefore, he tried to comprehend it by the analogies of other things.
It was the same as to why the old man studied devil scriptures. He was trying to enhance the cultivation of his righteous Dao from another aspect.
It only took the time for an incense stick to burn for Ning Fan to appear in his study and leave after asking those questions. He did not disturb anyone else of the Xuan Wei Sect at all and neither did he take anyone’s life.
In the old man’s eyes, Ning Fan was not like the bloodthirsty monster who slaughtered many indiscriminately from the rumors spreading in the outside world. Instead, he was a person with principles and he distinguished kindness and hatred clearly.
“So this is the true Venerated Ming…? What an unrestrained devil cultivator with such an elegant demeanor.” The old man’s eyes glowed with respect. The admiration he had for Ning Fan gradually grew stronger.
After swiftly flying out of the Xuan Wei Sect, Ning Fan was still thinking about the old man’s words. The latter’s words seemed to have provided him some insights.
