I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 272: Is this all the evil path is? No wonder you guys are being beaten by the righteous path
"What's the matter, Mr. Xu Shiqing?" Lu Wenwu asked with a smile.

While the other demon cultivators who had attained divine transformation were still wondering who Xu Shiqing was, the Blood River Demon Lord had already controlled his turbulent emotions and also smiled.

"Nothing. It's my honor to help you solve your problems."

Now, he has some of the confidence and aura of the uncrowned king of the devil.

This is not because he suddenly has a trump card that can compete with Lu Wenwu.

This is because the Blood River Demon Lord is completely certain that the human-like Tyrannosaurus Demon Lord in front of him is none other than the contemporary Dragon Emperor, whose true identity is unknown to anyone in the world!
The uncrowned king of the demon race!
The true ruler of the sea!
After he was completely sure about the matter, the burden in his heart was put down, and he no longer felt nervous or frightened.

When the gap is within a certain distance, people will have corresponding jealousy, envy, panic, and many other different emotions.

However, when the gap is so big that it seems like a punishment from heaven, people will become calm instead.

Because in front of the identity of the contemporary Dragon Emperor, everything Lu Wenwu had done before, the Immortal Alliance's evaluation of him, the world's opinion of him, and all the efforts of others in front of him, all have lost their meaning.

Everything is condensed into two words - Dragon Emperor!
The most capable dragon of this generation, and the ruler of the sea for the next ten thousand years.

The only thing that can determine the other person's style of behavior is his own preferences.

All morals, concepts, and positions can no longer become shackles and chains that restrict and influence him.

This is the real dragon.

This is the Dragon Emperor!
The ruler of a powerful race that has been passed down since the beginning of the world, with generation after generation of ascenders, the eternal master of the sea!
The dragon race is invincible, does whatever it wants, and is lazy.

This has become a consensus among monks all over the world.

As the world changes and time passes, the world of immortal cultivation has seen countless dynasties come and go, and countless inheritances and traditions have been replaced countless times. The dragon clan always lies lazily in the Dragon Palace deep in the sea, watching all this with a smile and laziness.

This is not a respectful title given by others just to please them.

It's the reputation that the True Dragon clan has earned, generation after generation, using their own claws and magic!
The True Dragon Clan is the symbol of invincibility in the same realm.

"An honor? Very good. I was worried that you would have some resentment in your heart." Lu Wenwu stroked the dog's head with a smile.

Such behavior really made the supreme elders of the Blood Refining Demon Palace a little confused. They didn't know what these two people were talking about.

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Xuehe, I wonder if you have realized a problem." Lu Wenwu suddenly said this without any context, "There is something wrong with the situation of your Demonic Path."

"You call me Daoist friend, but I am too embarrassed. How can I discuss Dao with you? Just call me Xiao Xu." The Blood River Demon Lord immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Xu is stupid. Please give me some advice."

Now several demon cultivators who had reached the state of being gods finally reacted belatedly.

What the hell!

Is Xu Shiqing referring to the name of the Blood River Ancestor before he created his own name?
Who is this Tyrannosaurus Demon Lord that even the leader is willing to call himself Xiao Xu?

Back then, even the previous head of the Blood Refining Demon Palace, the master of the Blood River Demon Lord, had never been so humble and regarded himself as a junior. Later, he even killed his master to take the position - this is commonplace in the demon world and is very normal.

Although this Tyrannosaurus Demon Lord is powerful, he shouldn't be allowed to humiliate himself to this extent, right?
Yes, self-humiliation.

This is how it is in the eyes of several other supreme elders.

Where is your pride as the number one demon? Where is your arrogance? Where is your arrogance?

Now that you see the Tyrannosaurus Rex, you lick him like this, right?
He really doesn't even care about his reputation anymore!

The supreme elders were indignant and said that the leader's behavior was really too much and was simply disregarding the honor of the sect!
What should we do if you lick us like this?
At least you can collude with us, let's do it together!

Start licking!
Lu Wenwu ignored these old guys who were frantically showing their loyalty. Instead, he kicked them out because of their noise.

When there were only two people left in the room, he did not directly explain the previous question, but instead asked another question.

"I wonder if you can summarize when you review the situation yourself why the evil path was suppressed by the righteous path?"

"It is clear that you have released your nature and broken through the constraints of ethics and morality. Your combat power is far superior to that of the righteous at the same level, and your cultivation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds."

"Logically speaking, you are the ones with the upper hand."

"But what was the result? Not only were you completely suppressed by the Immortal Dao Alliance, but you also fought timidly against the demon tribe."

"Have you ever thought about why this is happening?"

The Blood River Demon Lord thought for a moment and replied, "We raise mortals as livestock and select immortal cultivators from them to enter the path of magic, but we neglect the training and education of our minds. Is this why our overall cohesion is not as good as that of the Immortal Alliance?"

"Although our cultivation speed is fast, the disciples generally do not have a strong sense of belonging to the sect, and betrayal, sneak attacks, and harm are common in the Demonic Path. This seriously reduces our combat effectiveness and makes it difficult for us to work as a team, let alone integrate resources and jointly resist the enemy."

"When scattered, they are like stars in the sky, but when gathered, they are like a pile of stinking feces. To put it bluntly, the demonic monks are basically selfish, cold-blooded, and self-interested. It is only because of the pressure from the outside world that we have to stick together to survive."

Lu Wenwu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to think of this. This makes me look at you with a new eye. I thought you would say it was because you are not strong enough or ruthless enough."

"Ha, thank you for your compliment. If it was me who had just broken through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, I might have answered like this. But now, I have been in the late Spiritual Transformation Realm for more than 700 years."

The Blood River Demon Lord smiled self-deprecatingly, his eyes filled with undisguised bitterness and sorrow.

"I first came into contact with the way of immortality at the age of nine due to a disaster. Relying on a popular technique in the immortal cultivation world, I entered the foundation-building stage at the age of eleven. At the age of seventeen, I became a demon and forged a high-grade golden elixir. At the age of fifty-four, I condensed a first-grade Nascent Soul. At the age of one hundred and seventy-two, I slaughtered millions of lives and entered the stage of incarnation in one fell swoop."

"When I entered the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm before I was 300 years old, I was at my most ambitious. I took over the Blood Refining Demon Palace and almost became the uncrowned king of the demon world. At that time, I believed that I would be able to ascend to become an immortal, just like the Blood Refining Demon Lord back then."

"But reality dealt me ​​a heavy blow."

"When I was five hundred years old, I finally realized something."

"I am not invincible. I cannot become stronger endlessly."

"Demon cultivators also have their limits."

"It was not until this moment that I finally understood why so many brilliant cultivators and demon gods failed at the step before ascending."

“The gap between a late stage of the Spiritual Transformation and a late stage of the Spiritual Transformation is greater than the gap between a sword cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation and a country dog.”

Lu Wenwu nodded in understanding: "So you started to correct your own 'Tao'? For example, starting from reforming the Demonic Path and establishing order for it?"

"Yes."

The Blood River Demon Lord sighed.

"I have to admit that you do have some talent." Lu Wenwu couldn't help laughing again, "You have touched the edge of the right way, but it's not quite right yet. To be honest, you're not far away." Blood River Demon Lord suddenly sat up straight, his eyes revealing hope: "I'd like to hear more about it."

Lu Wenwu raised another question: "What do you think is the 'devil'? Or, do you really think that what you are doing now is the 'devil'?"

"Uh, isn't it?" The Blood River Demon Lord felt a little confused.

I have been practicing the magic path for thousands of years, and now you tell me that what I practice is not magic?
Lu Wenwu said seriously: "Do you really think that what you are doing now can be called 'demon'? In my opinion, even if you are an ancient demon cultivator, it is far from enough."

"Look, let's take the long-standing and prestigious 'He Huan Sect' in the magic world for example. This is a sect that relies on inviting a large number of people of the opposite sex to help them practice. The other party consumes their vitality and life force, which makes their own cultivation level soar, right?"

The Blood River Demon Lord nodded: "Yes, isn't this the cultivation of the devil?"

"What kind of demon is this? It's just letting go of the lust in your heart, that's all." Lu Wenwu glanced at him, "You don't think that righteous monks don't have harems or parties, do you? It's just that they don't openly come here."

"."

The Blood River Demon Lord fell silent.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Lu Wenwu said did make some sense.

The righteous path does not mean that one does not keep oneself clean.

For example, sword cultivators are generally single, and their XP is all on their swords.

Or maybe there are some special Buddhist monks, and Saint Hengru, the leader of the Immortal Alliance, none of them made the move.

But that may not be the case for others.

A high level of cultivation only means that he is gifted and lucky, and has nothing to do with his character.

There are many male monks who keep female lovers, male lovers, and mortals.

It is not uncommon for female monks to keep male lovers, female lovers, male animals, and monsters.

The Beast Taming Sect secretly sells some popular goods to the Demonic Path, but their Blood Refining Demon Palace is very strict about them.

Lu Wenwu added: "For example, the equally famous 'Kui Xin Men' is very good at soul manipulation magic. The most famous one is a weapon refining method that only consumes a little bit of mind and some precious materials to make a person loyal to them, and greatly improves work efficiency, right?"

Blood River Demon Lord: “???”

He thought about it for a while before realizing that the other party might be talking about the signature skill of the Puppet Heart Sect - the living puppet technique.

He has a unique skill that allows him to transform cultivators, mortals, and monsters into living puppets. Except in large-scale battlefields, this skill is more flexible and convenient than the Corpse Puppet Sect's Corpse Puppet Technique.

"Turning other living beings into puppets alive! Isn't this considered a 'demon'?" Blood River Demon Lord asked sincerely, "It is said that their heritage comes from ancient times, and they still have two mother-and-child heart-linked puppets at the level of God Incarnation."

"No, this is not 'devil', it is just a disregard for human life, using it like consumables."

Lu Wenwu shook his head.

"And do you think the righteous path doesn't have such means? How about the Beastmaster Sect's Beast Soul Battle Puppet? Or do you have no idea about the intelligence level of demon cultivators above the Demon Pill Stage? The Puppet Heart Sect simply puts humans on the same level as demon beasts."

The Blood River Demon Lord was speechless.

What Lu Wenwu said was indeed correct.

I am the Demon Lord, but I didn't expect that I would subconsciously become hypocritical.

Lu Wenwu continued, "I remember that you have some famous things in the magic world, such as the Human Emperor Banner that can be made by inviting a person's soul into a small flag, or the Umbrella of Ten Thousand People that can be made by refining it into an umbrella, right?"

"There is also the Nirvana Palace, which can melt the bones of many people together to achieve eternal immortality and form a cool palace for defense or attack. And there are also body-refining pills that can burn the essence of flesh and blood into a small ball and eat it to increase one's own magic power and strengthen one's body, right?"

The Blood River Demon Lord thought about it and thought that he should be talking about the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the Blood Soul Umbrella, the White Bone Battle Palace, and the last one, the Blood Food Pill.
"This must be a demonic method, right?" He couldn't help but ask, "Extracting souls and refining spirits, melting bones and solidifying flesh, there is nothing more cruel than this."

"Look, you still haven't realized it."

Lu Wenwu shrugged with a hint of regret on his face.

"Whether it's your magic tools or elixirs, or your talismans made of human bones or skin, or your use of humans as blood food or spiritual stones, in the final analysis, they can only be considered as 'cruel'."

"What is cruelty? This is defined based on human morality. It is something that happens to other living beings that humans cannot stand. Anything that meets this standard is cruel."

"Look, you call yourself a demon cultivator, you call yourself a demon, but in fact you are still confined to the category of 'human'. You are still restricted by human morality. You still know what you are doing."

"All cultivators in the world use the skin of monsters to make talismans, their blood to make ink, their bones to refine weapons, their souls to make puppets, and their flesh to make pills. The other party also has the same intelligence as humans, so why does no one think this is bloody and cruel?"

"In my opinion, among all the cultivators of your demonic sect, even if you include the cultivators who have already ascended to heaven and the ancient demon cultivators who are far more cruel than you are now, not a single cultivator can be considered a true 'demon'."

"You are at best a bunch of bad guys, a bunch of evil guys, a bunch of cruel, evil guys."

"As for the techniques and methods you use, if you package them in some way, there is absolutely no problem in calling them Xuanmen's orthodox methods."

"Using the blood melting technique to help other monks regenerate their broken limbs, this shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

"Let the female cultivators of the He Huan Sect open a brothel and use the two-way Yin-Yang Dragon-Phoenix Heaven-Earth Interaction Method to ensure that both parties benefit at the same time. Do it in small amounts and multiple times. Do you think the cultivators in the world will call them living Bodhisattvas?"

"Is it difficult to cleanse yourself and become a righteous monk? The boundary between black and white is inherently blurred, and people are even more dualistic. They can change at any time."

"It's not like that with humans and demons."

"You said it yourself before - people have limits."

"Indeed, it is true for you."

"But the devil has no limits."

"If you want to become a demon, if you want to become a real demon, you must abandon the part that belongs to you as a human."

"When you throw away all the limitations of being a 'human', throw away all the morals and ethics defined by humans, and truly begin to view and treat the world from an inhuman perspective, then you are truly 'possessed by the devil'."

Having said that, Lu Wenwu paused for a moment, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Are you ready to stop being a human?"
