Legend of the Great Sage

y cultivated much faster than orthodox cultivation methods and the techniques they used were vicious in nature and extraordinary in power.
Orthodox cultivators of the same cultivation often were not the opponents of their demonic counterparts.

As such, many cultivators turned to the wicked path, specially choosing cultivation methods of this variety from the Pavilion of Heavenly Tomes so that they could win battles.
It was so bad that a few years ago, the demonic path went on a meteoric rise within the World of the Five Continents, greatly surpassing the orthodoxy.
It was only until the Sword Collection palace’s forceful rise and Yu Zijian’s great efforts that they gradually fell back into decline.

Li Qingshan held his chin and sighed.
“There’s bad people in the masses?”

“You only found out now?”

Yu Zijian had seen plenty.
Just which of the powerful demonic cultivators was not a mortal when they first started off? None of them seemed like bad people, but once they grasped extraordinary power, they immediately became twisted.

“I almost forgot.
I’m not exactly some good person either! Hehe!” Li Qingshan began laughing without any sense of shame, patting Yu Zijian on the shoulder gladly.
“Fortunately, you’re around.
You just have to kill all of those bastard demonic cultivators.”

“You big bastard!”

“What did you say?” Li Qingshan basically doubted his ears. Sigh, when I took care of you in the past, you called me Niu Juxia.
Now that you’re grown up, you call me a big bastard.

“You big bastard!”

Yu Zijian furrowed her brows, which added a sense of harshness to her, reflecting her experiences over the years.
Let alone demonic cultivators, even her fellow colleagues would become fear-stricken when they saw her like this, afraid to say anything more.

Over the years, the Sword Collection palace had presided over the orthodoxy and slain countless demonic cultivators, but they had also made numerous sacrifices too.
Even cultivators were like this, so the mortals went even more without saying.

With her current cultivation, she could overwhelm all the demonic cultivators in the world alone with her sword, but this advantageous situation would not last for too long.
The demonic cultivators would produce Human Sovereigns sooner or later and rise up again.
By then, it would be another battle between the righteous and the wicked, another round of endless slaughter.
Who knew how many more innocent lives would be lost, yet he could actually still laugh.

“Alright then.
What do you want me to do?”

Yu Zijian said without hesitation, “Kill all of the demonic cultivators in the world first!”

“Heh, what harshness!”

“Trust me.
The orthodoxy has its fair share of hypocritic scoundrels, but there really are no good ones among those demonic cultivators.
I’d rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one go.
Letting one go means the death of who knows how many tens of thousand people, and it’ll leave everyone in the world thinking that they can get away with their deeds without punishment.
It’ll be an everlasting negative influence.”

Yu Zijian’s expression became even harsher.
This was the determination that had been forged through countless brutalities.
Sometimes, small expressions of benevolence and mercy were even worse than fake benevolence and mercy.

Li Qingshan had no doubts about that.
He had never believed the shitty saying where the people of the orthodoxy were hypocrites, while the people of the demonic path were real men.
When hypocrites did things, they still had to take their image into consideration.
When these “true men” came to butcher cities, they did not show any mercy at all.

“And then?”

“And then destroy all of these demonic cultivation methods and uproot the foundations of these demonic cultivators.
Afterwards, announce it to the world under the name of the hero king so that everyone takes it as a warning.
After that, even if there are ones that have managed to slip away, they’ll be relatively easy to ‘deal with’.” Every single sentence she said was filled with a sense of harshness, as well as unchanging determination.

“Cultivation methods aren’t actually good or wicked.”

“Yeah, what matters is killing all the demonic cultivators and deterring the entire cultivation community under the name of the hero king so that no cultivators dares to try it.”

“But even if you kill all the demonic cultivators in the world, you can’t kill the wickedness within the hearts of all living creatures.
They’ll only become even more hypocritical and despicable, labelling all their enemies as demonic cultivators and all opposition as the demonic path.”

“That’s still better than doing nothing.”

“Actually, there’s an even simpler method.”

“What method?”

“Killing the thought is better than killing the people.” Li Qingshan pointed to his head.
“You don’t even need to take any direct action.
As long as I have the determination, it can directly turn into the will of the world and influence the consciousness of all living creatures, making them embrace good and return to the orthodoxy.
What do you think?”

Yu Zijian clapped and smiled.
“That would be perfect! Hold on, if you’re capable of that, why didn’t you do so earlier?”

“Would you like to be influenced by me?”

“Of course.
Haven’t I always been influenced by you?” Yu Zijian gave him a toothy grin.
“I trust you.”

Li Qingshan was speechless.
Then he said, “What if it wasn’t me?”

Yu Zijian thought about it before shaking her head.
“I’d refuse…”

Li Qingshan was touched and gladdened.
Right when he was about to say something, he heard her continue, “…
but I can go and die.”

Her expression was normal.
There was no hot-bloodedness and high-spiritedness, or any lament and pity, as if it was common sense.

“If the people of the world can go without shedding tears, I’m willing to shed tears.
If the people of the world can go without making sacrifices, I’m willing to sacrifice myself.”
