After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 324 The Secret of Ascension 1
Those with guilty consciences naturally wouldn't dare to go.

The ceremony ended hastily, and rumors began to circulate that Sect Leader Yan might have fallen into demonic possession. Someone even used a recording stone to capture his reaction of not daring to test himself.

There were also related posts and videos posted in front of Jade Disc Square as evidence.

Rumors spread quickly, and Xingyanzong could not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

They disqualified the Miaofa Sect from the competition and expelled them from the area, arguing that the Miaofa Sect's actions showed disrespect for the Xingyan Sect and were intended to provoke sectarian conflict.

Rongce's testing plan had to be interrupted.

However, this move also made Xingyanzong seem guilty, further confirming the rumors.

For the safety of their disciples, many sects voluntarily withdrew and dared not have any contact with the Yan Sect.

Many cultivators do not want to have anything to do with demons.

The Miaofa Sect claimed that they could detect and remove demonic creatures without affecting cultivation, which tempted many cultivators.

The Demon Clan's move was quite unethical.

It wanted to conquer the entire Canghai Continent without lifting a finger, and through this means, plant the demonic seed in most of the cultivators.

Those remaining cultivators without the demonic seed became outcasts.

At that time, in order to protect themselves and to gain control of the discourse, the cultivators will definitely take the initiative to exclude or even kill that small group of cultivators.

There is no such thing as fairness, justice, or light in this world.

What benefits the majority is the light.

The Miaofa Sect had just claimed to remove demonic seeds free of charge and without causing any harm when several other sects secretly accused the Miaofa Sect of deceiving them.

There's no way to remove it without causing harm; they're just trying to trick people into killing them, and they're making it sound so noble.

Some say that the Miaofa Sect disregarded the rules and deceived people in order to use disciples of other sects as guinea pigs for experiments.

The elder in charge of the Miaofa Sect was furious when he saw these remarks.

Wen Ningqing crossed her arms in front of her and said coldly, "These people have all fallen into demonic possession. Kill them all."

The elder in charge was sweating profusely. "No... is this really necessary? It's not to the point of annihilation yet. There should still be hope."

"Hmph, it's no use saving those people!"

"Venerable One of Severance of Intent, please be careful with your words..."

"You people are so concerned about this and that, but the only truth is that the strongest fist is the one that matters."

"..."

They couldn't refute that.

However, their power wasn't strong enough to fight against several sects at the same time.

If they truly had a monopoly, they wouldn't have so many concerns.

Those who are not in charge have no idea of ​​the difficulties involved.

They are already doing well to keep the disciples of the Miaofa Sect from being harmed by demons.

People are now in a state of panic. We need to investigate all areas within the Miaofa Sect's territory to prevent the demonic seed from entering.

Even the elders have to be tested every day; everyone is on edge.

If things continue like this, one day their sect, which does not accept the demon seed, will become the target of public criticism and be seen as an outcast by others.

This is a headache... It's really difficult to deal with this.

"I'm not convinced. This matter needs careful consideration. We must not act impulsively."

Wen Ningqing looked at Rong Ce, who was silent, and the Supreme Elder, who seemed to be lost in thought, and was speechless.

Now that the two people in charge of making the decisions are both silent, why is she in such a hurry?

She's used to doing things her own way; since she doesn't have the ability to remove the demon seed, she'll just kill anyone she sees.

"Impulsive? If we don't deal with this, we'll become heretics! Then a bunch of little devils will gang up on us and say that we are the outcasts."

"..." According to Wen Ningqing's idea, they should not hesitate and should directly take coercive measures.

Who wouldn't cooperate under violence?

Is it wrong to exterminate demons?
Because they now possess demonic seeds, they turn their swords against their own kind for their own temporary gain. In the future, they will also be drained by the demonic seeds and become nothing more than the skins of demons.

Can't a bunch of idiots even figure this out?

Or is it that even if they understand, they are willing to do this for the sake of temporary survival?

Before they could come to a conclusion, several major sects invited the Miaofa Sect to discuss the matter of dealing with the demonic seed, specifically requesting that the Supreme Elder come to discuss it.

Wen Ningqing's first reaction was that there was something fishy going on, and that if they were to discuss anything, they should at least bring the person to the territory of the Miaofa Sect.

The Supreme Elder ultimately decided to invite others to the Miaofa Sect to discuss the matter; if they didn't come, it meant they had something to hide.

The Miaofa Sect issued a statement saying that it will not treat cultivators as guinea pigs.

They are still willing to provide free demon seed removal services; it's voluntary and there's absolutely no pressure.

That's what they said, but they didn't forget to arrange for someone to display the miserable state of cultivators after they were parasitized by the demonic seed in the Jade Disc Square.

Even Elder Chu's previous demonic image was described as the result of being planted with a demonic seed.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator is in such a terrible state, wouldn't an ordinary cultivator be in an even worse state?

To conspire with the devil is a dead end.

Miao Yin has been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for a long time, and has been looking for an opportunity to break through. Perhaps this is the opportunity.

After the meeting ended, she had just returned to her residence when she received a text message.

Someone invited her to discuss matters in a town under the jurisdiction of the Myobo school.

She glanced at the signature and decided to go.

Upon arriving at the designated place, she cut to the chase and asked the visitor, "What do you want to discuss? Don't tell me you've also been infected with a demonic seed?"

The other party was an elder of the First Sect, who was also struggling to find the right opportunity and had been unable to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the other party's bone age is not young. If he did not age gracefully, he would have aged according to his lifespan. He should be old and frail now, with deep wrinkles on his face, instead of looking so handsome.

It was clear that the other person did not want to die naturally when their lifespan was up; their eyes showed a strong desire to live.

She asked the question in this way, but her tone was certain.

The person who came in turned pale when she asked him a question, and his feigned gentleness vanished completely.

He said, "I know you are like me, desperately seeking a breakthrough without success."

"So what?"

"Venerable Wonderful Sound, there's no need to mock me in such a tone. Don't you want to know why you've been unable to break through?"

Miaoyin showed a hint of interest and gestured for the other person to continue.

"A hundred years ago, in my quest for a breakthrough, I ventured into a secret realm that my ancestors had discovered and forbidden me to enter. It was said to have been left behind by an ancient, ascended being, but once inside, I discovered that the so-called ascension was nothing but a hoax."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"No one in this world can ascend to immortality. The few who have ascended are now trapped in the Demon Realm. They have endless lifespans, but they are trapped in one place and can never get out."

At this point, the elder revealed a resentful expression.

"In order to prevent more cultivators from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage and searching for the secret of ascension, Heaven deliberately blocked their advancement until they exhausted their lifespan and died."

"What does this have to do with you secretly planting demonic seeds in cultivators, attempting to plunge the Canghai Continent into a living hell?"

Miaoyin ignored all the nonsense before her and asked the most incisive question.

Elder Liu showed a look of sorrow and pity.

"When I was feeling utterly desperate in the secret realm, I was unexpectedly pulled into the demon realm and met an ancestor who was trapped in the ascension. He said that in order to open a new ascension channel, the entire Canghai Continent must be overthrown."

Miaoyin understood.
