In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 290 Who in the world doesn't understand demonic arts! (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking further subscriptions!)

Yes, that's what it looks like.

Zhuo Lixin replied in a complicated tone.

You can tell from her tone how complex her mindset must have been when she first learned of this news.

"This……"

Su Yuan was momentarily at a loss.

Did he choose the right major or the wrong one?
However, after hearing what Zhuo Lixin said next, Su Yuan dismissed the idea.

Zhuo Lixin: "After learning that the Nascent Soul Transformation lineage of the Exorcism Sect was so evil, I once doubted whether I had chosen the wrong major."

"But just when my resolve to follow the Dao wavered, the teacher who had guided me in learning the Transformation of the Divine Realm explained it to me."

He said that the three Nascent Soul inheritances of the Zhuxie University, and even all the Nascent Soul inheritances of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, are all demonic inheritances, without exception.

"Therefore, no matter what you choose, you will eventually learn demonic techniques."

Su Yuan: "..."

Who in the world is not familiar with the demons?

The prestige of the Demon Lord title is still rising!

He asked tentatively:
"Is there really no righteous lineage? Even from a probability standpoint, it doesn't make sense. Could there be some kind of conspiracy involved?"

Zhuo Li thought to himself:

"Our predecessors have naturally had similar conjectures, which is why the Ten Great Immortal Sects have made tremendous efforts to find out the truth behind all of this."

"After years of investigation, they finally came to a conclusion that shocked the industry."

Listening to the beautiful senior's profound words, Su Yuan swallowed hard, feeling that some earth-shattering secrets were about to be revealed.

Then the beautiful senior student slowly said:

"The thirty-six ancient human gods were all demonic cultivators; not a single one was a righteous cultivator."

"hiss--"

This news is indeed quite explosive.

So is this the key factor that causes the Celestial Tribulation?

Before Su Yuan could ask the question, Zhuo Lixin's next words dispelled Su Yuan's guess.

"According to experts and scholars, although the core methods of the thirty-six human gods were demonic, the actions of most of them can be considered as those of righteous cultivators, which is a standard application of demonic power."

"Some ancient books record that before the celestial calamity descended, the Nascent Soul Celestial Lords took the initiative to protect the outstanding talents among the ancient human race. These are all manifestations of their love for the people."

After listening to this explanation, Su Yuan scratched his head and muttered speechlessly:

"If they're not demons, then why are they all cultivating demonic arts? Are they all assigned a demonic art after reaching the Nascent Soul stage?"

"It's possible!"

To Su Yuan's surprise, his casual remark was actually accepted by Zhuo Lixin.

The beautiful senior student said earnestly:
"According to the analysis of the inheritances of the righteous and demonic paths that the Blue Star Federation has unearthed so far, the higher the level of the inheritance, the greater the proportion of the demonic path inheritance."

"Many possessors of demonic lineages are exemplary figures and leaders of righteous sects."

"Further research on the average number of demonic cultivators among the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords reveals that, apart from some desperate rogue cultivators who invented some low-level demonic inheritances, the rest of the demonic inheritances were passed down from top to bottom."

"Simply put, it means that there is an extremely mysterious being above the Nascent Soul stage, and that being actively spreads the demonic path."

"Those Nascent Soul Celestial Lords who are closest to that mysterious being are the most deeply affected, and therefore they are all demonic cultivators."

“Those Nascent Soul cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage are less affected, but those Nascent Soul cultivators with demonic lineages account for more than 30%.”

"Only when one reaches the Golden Core level does one return to the righteous path of cultivation, and the normal state of a demon cultivating the demonic path."

"If nothing unexpected happens, that mysterious being is the one who initiated the Celestial Tribulation."

"We just don't know yet whether this so-called mysterious entity is a person or something beyond our comprehension."

Su Yuan listened for a long time before nodding and saying:

"If that's the case, then cultivating demonic arts is actually the right path."

"You so-called righteous cultivators, don't you still have to turn to the demonic path after you reach the higher levels?"

Zhuo Lixin was speechless:

"After all I've said, that's all you've gotten out of it? Shouldn't you be focusing on improving yourself and breaking free from this vicious cycle where the more you cultivate, the more you'll turn into a demonic cultivator?"

"Why should I change?" Su Yuan said emphatically.
"As long as everyone becomes a demonic cultivator, then we are on the righteous path, and those few who stubbornly insist on their own opinions are the heretics."

"Do I really need to teach you such a simple principle of putting yourself in someone else's shoes?"

Of course, Su Yuan didn't say one more thing—if everyone is a demonic cultivator, then as long as his cultivation level improves, once he invokes the title of "King of the Underground," wouldn't everyone kneel down?

The King of the Underground has directly evolved into the King of Demons, hasn't he?

He loved that kind of world so much.

Zhuo Lixin: "..."

That seems to make some sense...

But then, the beautiful senior student shook her head fiercely.

No, no, I can't be fooled by Su Yuan's lies!

This guy truly lives up to his reputation as the peerless demon he considers his lifelong enemy. Staying by his side would surely warp the minds of even the most steadfast righteous cultivators!

Zhuo Lixin decided that unless absolutely necessary, he would not say a word to Su Yuan.

As the two talked, the battle on the arena came to an end.

Or rather, the battle was already over the moment Qiu Tianze unleashed his blood sword.

At this moment, he had already taken the blood sword and stood ten meters in front of Chi Le'an, casually slashing out with his sword.

The crimson sword light transformed into an arc, heading straight for Chi Le'an.

However, this sword strike seemed to have gone slightly off course. If it had followed the intended trajectory, it would have only managed to scratch Chi Le'an's arm.

Even so, Chi Le'an dared not underestimate him in the slightest. He pushed the Heavenly Heart Sword Dao to its limit, filling the space between him and the crimson sword arc with the vast power of heaven and earth in an attempt to resist.

However, when the crimson sword arc touched that invisible and intangible power of heaven and earth, something strange happened.

A sound like a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out.

The power of heaven and earth seemed to have a physical form in front of the blood-red light, and that physical form was extremely fragile flesh and blood, which was easily pierced by the sword light.

Chi Le'an raised the Heartless Demon Sword and slashed at the crimson sword arc.

But the result was the same.

With a tearing sound, the Heart-Severing Demon Sword was easily sliced ​​through in front of the blood-red sword arc, as if it were made of ordinary flesh and blood.

However, after the crimson sword arc swept past, the Heartless Demon Sword returned to normal, as if everything before had been an illusion.

But it turned out that this was no illusion. There was no further obstruction in front of the crimson sword arc. It simply grazed Chi Le'an's arm and then disappeared.

The next second, the wound, which wasn't very deep to begin with, started bleeding profusely.

Chi Le'an instinctively tried to use his spiritual power to seal the wound, but the next second, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Because when his spiritual power approached the wound, it was blocked by some force, preventing him from healing the wound.

On the contrary, the evil force at the wound began to relentlessly and actively invade his body, conquering and expanding its territory.

With each body part attacked, a large amount of blood would immediately flow out from the wound.

This resulted in the wound on his arm being very small, yet within just a few seconds, hundreds of milliliters of blood flowed out, with no sign of stopping.

Those who witnessed this scene immediately understood the purpose of the crimson sword arc.

The incurable bleeding characteristic means that even the smallest wound will eventually cause a cultivator to perish from excessive blood loss if there is no treatment.

As this sword technique is a divine inheritance, the difficulty of curing it is unimaginable!

How...how vicious!

Is this only the first stage of the Nascent Soul inheritance?
How disgusting would a fully-fledged Demon-Slaying Divine Transformation inheritance be?

"Junior Chi, you can admit defeat now."

Qiu Tianze glanced at the large amount of essence blood that Chi Le'an had spilled on the ground, resisted the urge to absorb it for his own use, put away the blood sword, and calmly advised him.

Because of the blood draining effect of the Nascent Soul inheritance, Qiu Tianze's face was noticeably paler than before.

But it's clear that his condition is much better than that of Chi Le'an, who is constantly losing blood.

The latter tried to raise his sword and fight again before he bled out completely, but as soon as he made a move, his wound immediately started bleeding profusely.

Even if he was arrogant after switching personalities, he could only obediently admit defeat.
