Chapter 196: Becoming a Demon
Seeing that his uncle remained silent, Xuan Ji suddenly asked, "Uncle, what is the essential difference between Buddha and devil?"

When Yuanci heard this, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and heavy.

"Although Master Uncle has reached the Golden Core stage, it is still difficult for him to see the Way of Heaven. The difference between Buddhist cultivation and demonic cultivation cannot be fully explained in a few words.

But it is an indisputable fact that the evil cultivators are ruthless, misleading people and taking human lives.

The Buddhist practice is based on compassion, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue to save all living beings. "

After listening to his uncle's story, Xuan Ji only felt more confused.

If we really define demonic cultivation and Buddhist cultivation based on appearance, isn’t that too superficial?
Seeing Xuan Ji remaining silent, Yuanci felt uneasy for some reason, as if something bad was about to happen.

He changed the subject and said, "Nephew, your injuries are still very serious. Come with me and take care of your injuries first. We can talk about these things after you recover."

Xuan Ji heard this but did not answer. Instead, he knelt down silently and kowtowed three times to Yuan Ci.

Xuan Ji’s sudden kneeling made Yuan Ci’s heart tremble. He hurriedly reached out to help Xuan Ji up, with a hint of nervousness in his voice.

"Nephew, what are you doing?"

Xuan Ji did not answer immediately, but slowly raised his head, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Uncle Master, there is something I don't understand. I hope you can help me solve it."

Yuanci's heart sank. He knew Xuanji was stubborn. Once he made up his mind about something, he would go all the way and would not turn back even if he hit a wall.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm, "Go ahead and talk, Uncle Master is listening."

"I don't know what the difference is between a demon and a Buddha. I want to experience it myself. I hope my uncle can help me."

Yuanci's face suddenly turned extremely ugly, and the thing he was most worried about seemed to be happening.

He tried to calm himself, but his voice still contained a hint of harshness and warning.

"Xuan Ji, do you know what you are talking about?"

Yuanci's face was solemn, and he looked straight at Xuanji, as if he wanted to look into his heart.

"In Xuanhu Temple, there are actually quite a few people who have turned from Buddhism to practicing magic. The young monks who sweep the floor, some elderly disciples and even elders, when they feel that the Buddhist path is hopeless, will degenerate into practicing magic.

But in Xuanhu Temple, from ancient times to the present, no Buddhist disciple would abandon Buddhism and practice magic.

If you take this path, you will not only betray your fellow Taoists, but will also become a disgrace to Xuanhu Temple."

After hearing this, Xuan Ji's eyes flashed with shame.

"Uncle Master, it is not my wish to bring shame to Xuanhu Temple. It is just that my disciple's thoughts are not clear. If I cannot experience all this in person, I am afraid that I will never make any progress as a Buddhist disciple in my life."

Yuanci's heart was shaken violently, and he seemed to have aged dozens of years in an instant.

He sighed heavily, with a hint of weakness in his voice: "Xuan Ji, have you really thought it through?"

Xuan Ji did not answer immediately. He knelt down again with his head buried deep in the ground.

"Uncle Master, Xuan Ji is not worthy of being a Buddhist disciple. From today on, he will leave Xuanhu Temple on his own. Please find another capable person."

Yuanci looked at Xuan Ji's resolute expression and felt both heartbroken and angry.

He thought that his earnest persuasion could bring back Xuan Ji's sanity, but he didn't expect that his determination to become a demon was so firm.

Yuanci stood up suddenly, and his originally kind face instantly became ferocious. A powerful spiritual pressure pressed towards Xuanji like an overwhelming force, and his voice was as cold as frost.

"You are so self-degrading, aren't you afraid that I will slap you to death with one palm?"

Xuan Ji's figure swayed slightly, but he still kneeled straight, like an unyielding pine tree.

He raised his head and looked directly at Yuanci. There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a hint of calmness.

"Everything that Xuan Ji has is a gift from Xuanhu Temple. His achievements today are also entirely due to the cultivation of Xuanhu Temple...

If Master Uncle wants to clean up the mess, Xuan Ji will have no regrets."

Yuanci's rage surged in his chest, threatening to swallow him whole.

He raised his hand tremblingly, with a powerful spiritual power gathering in his palm, as if he was going to turn Xuan Ji into dust in the next moment. But in the end, he still dropped his hand weakly.

How could he do that?
He watched Xuan Ji grow up. He was his senior brother's favorite disciple and the most talented Buddhist disciple in Xuanhu Temple in hundreds of years.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a hoarse voice, "Have you ever thought about your master when you did this?"

Xuan Ji's body trembled violently, and a hint of pity appeared in his determined eyes.

He remained silent, letting his lowered eyelids hide the surging emotions in his eyes.

After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "My heart is no longer pure. Master is a high-ranking monk from Xuanhu Temple. A disciple like me should not become a stain on Master..."

Yuanci felt even more sad when he saw Xuanji's appearance.

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.

He waved his hand, his tone tired and helpless.

"Go now! From today on, you are no longer a disciple of Xuanhu Temple. Take care of yourself!"

Xuan Ji knelt down again, kowtowed deeply three times, then turned around and left silently.

Yuanci looked in the direction where Xuanji left for a long time, then sighed and shook his head.

"Forget it, this is probably what Senior Brother is talking about…"

After leaving Xuanhu Temple, Xuan Ji activated a special martial art.

This technique can sense the aura and depth of karma. Although Meng Wan's karma is not the deepest, it is very special.

Xuan Ji tracked all the way and finally found Meng Wan in a dense jungle.

Sensing someone approaching, she suddenly opened her eyes, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in them.

Seeing that the person coming was Xuan Ji, Meng Wan was so angry that she almost laughed.

The Buddhist disciples in Xuanhu Temple are really endless.

She was about to take action when she heard Xuan Ji say, "I am no longer a Buddhist disciple of Xuanhu Temple. I want to join Xuanyin Sect."

Meng Wan's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Xuan Ji with some surprise, as if she was meeting him for the first time.

This Xuan Ji doesn't want to be a Buddhist disciple of Xuanhu Temple, but instead wants to join the evil sect. Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?

"Are you serious?"

Meng Wan raised her eyebrows, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Xuan Ji ignored her ridicule. He lowered his eyelids to hide the emotions surging in his eyes.

"I am no longer a Buddhist disciple of Xuanhu Temple."

After saying that, he raised his head again and looked directly at Meng Wan, with a hint of determination in his tone, "I want to follow you."

Meng Wan chuckled, she stood up, walked to Xuan Ji, looked at him carefully, with a hint of teasing in her tone.

"Follow me? What makes you think I'll accept you?"

Xuan Ji was silent for a moment, and then he slowly said, "If you don't want to, then I will follow the others."

"Heh, I was the one who defeated you, and you actually want to join others?"

A dangerous light flashed in Meng Wan's eyes. "Even if my things are destroyed, it's not someone else's turn."

Xuan Ji was silent.

He thought to himself that he was nothing, but reasoning with the evil cultivators from the Xuanyin Sect was the most unreasonable thing in the world.

Meng Wan thought for a moment and turned her gaze in other directions.

"See that? Those people are my next prey. Since you want to follow me, go and kill them!"
