Chapter 68 The Sage's Selfishness and the Scoundrel's True Feelings
After Cheng Xiao returned to his courtyard, he saw a storage ring on the table, which was filled with all sorts of basic cultivation resources.
Unexpectedly, Chen Tianbao acted quite quickly.
He fiddled with the ring for a moment, then threw the items he liked into his soul space.
This can be considered as taking precautions.
If the system can even seal his cultivation level, it might be able to find a way to restrict his soul.
If such a situation were to occur, he would use these elixirs to instantly create a nascent soul.
Such cultivation would have made them a dominant force in the previous low-magic plane.
In the cultivation world, it is often said that the foundation of cultivation built upon spiritual herbs is unstable, and flaws will be revealed when undergoing tribulation.
But Cheng Xiao felt that it was because he hadn't eaten enough spiritual herbs, and that he should eat more.
What if the system seals up his soul space?
Let's talk about it when that happens.
In the following days, Cheng Xiao sent envoys to inquire about the opinions of other sects.
He made no attempt to conceal his intentions, directly expressing his desire to resolve the source of the turbidity and his desire to cooperate with the Demonic Sect.
Absolute strength means that even if he says something outrageous, others can only grumble a few words and dare not say anything more.
If this had happened during the most tense period between the demonic and immortal sects, and he had dared to say such a thing, he would probably have been attacked by the other sects long ago!
After all, this is treason.
Many years have passed since that great battle, and many young cultivators have never even seen the Demonic Sect.
Time has diluted the hatred of the past in this world of cultivation.
Of course, this is just the basic reason; the main reason is that those people couldn't beat him.
Cheng Xiao stayed at the sect, and his daily routine consisted of wandering around and waiting for news to come back.
Even the disciples of the sect say that they keep running into the Immortal Venerable in the sect these days.
It wasn't that Cheng Xiao wanted to do these things; it was mainly because he couldn't use the system and therefore couldn't start the next instance.
Perhaps because of the failure of the previous instance quest, the system's preparation time was exceptionally long this time.
Are you planning to give him a big one?
A few days later, Cheng Xiao received a message from his disciples, relayed over a thousand miles.
All the sects advised against it, saying that the Demonic Sect was dangerous and that Cheng Xiao should never cooperate with it. They warned that with the crisis at hand, a single misstep could cause chaos throughout the world.
They brought up that great battle from thousands of years ago again.
It is said that the Demonic Sect has been recuperating and preparing to start a second war.
Cheng Xiao didn't feel it deeply, after all, he hadn't even transmigrated to this world yet, nor was he born in this world.
He's just a young man in his early twenties, how could he possibly know about things from thousands of years ago?
Even if you tell him, it won't make a difference.
He had anticipated the attitudes of these sects, but what he hadn't expected was that they only said to be careful of the Demonic Sect, without saying anything about how to deal with the problem of the Turbid Source, and no sect wanted to help.
Cheng Xiao thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to have the right to criticize others.
After all, he didn't want to care about the problem of Turbid Source before the second instance.
He was thinking that maybe one day he would ascend to immortality and say goodbye to this world. What did Zhuoyuan have to do with him?
The reason we want to solve the source of turbidity now is because we have witnessed its terror.
It seems that the only one who intends to save Shenhe Prefecture is the Demonic Sect, which usually cultivates by burning, killing, and looting.
Everyone in the immortal sect is in danger and only thinks about protecting themselves.
Cheng Xiao understood that there were probably only two ways to solve the problem of the source of the turbidity.
The first option is to cooperate with the Demonic Sect and work together to find a solution.
Although he still did not know the true thoughts of that venerable master, the other party at least had this intention, while other sects did not even mention it.
And the second path...
Cheng Xiao thought of the system again.
Since the source of turbidity appeared in the second instance, it will definitely appear again later.
This thing is even strongly tied to dungeon quests.
Perhaps he can gradually find a solution in the dungeon.
Cheng Xiao never expected that he had only wanted to ascend to immortality at first, but now he was starting to save the world.
More than a month passed after he received the message from afar.
Those sects still haven't made any statement.
Cheng Xiao understood that as long as he didn't personally intervene, those old fogies intended to play dead.
Even if he personally comes forward, it's all superficial flattery; behind the scenes, he continues to play dead.
They're all probably waiting for him, the "strongest in the cultivation world," to solve the problem.
There's a saying that goes something like this: Even if the sky falls, there's always someone taller to hold it up.
He's the tallest one now.
Cheng Xiao understood that it was time to contact the Demonic Sect and have a chat with the legendary mysterious master.
Since that great war thousands of years ago, the Demonic Sect has been in hiding.
Even Cheng Xiao didn't know much about those people.
Just as he was about to call Chen Tianbao over to contact the envoy, Hakimi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "Brother, the next instance is ready, and we can set off at any time."
After saying that, he added incessantly, "Let's be careful this time, and make sure we don't break the system again."
Cheng Xiao pretended not to hear and completely ignored Hakimi.
With a thought, an electronic screen appeared in front of him.
The secrets within the system are clearly more important than contacting that lord.
He reached out and clicked on "Start Game" above.
The familiar scene reappeared before my eyes.
[The Tale of Love Across Worlds has begun! Go experience the feeling of love and excitement!]
[Currently loading scenario: Volume 3 - The Supreme Ruthlessness and the Caged Bird]
[Story background: In the cultivation world, immortals and demons are in conflict and are like fire and water. The Supreme Dao Sect, as the leader of the righteous path, has strict rules.]
The youngest holy maiden of the Supreme Dao Sect, she cultivated the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique and was a high-mountain flower revered by all under heaven. She was as flawless as ice and snow, but also as lonely as ice and snow. She was trapped on the altar by the invisible cage of "righteousness and justice" for her entire life.
In contrast, the assassins of the demonic sect "Paradise Gate" are like weeds, spending their days in the company of killing and betrayal.
One is a high and mighty, ruthless god; the other is a deadly shadow mired in the mire.
When the purest white is stained with deadly black, a forbidden love that transcends the paths of good and evil and is destined for eternal damnation awaits you to unveil its curtain...
[Mission issued: You are a dead servant who has been infected with the "Demon Gu" by the Demonic Sect and may die from the poison at any time. You are ordered to infiltrate the Supreme Dao Sect and become an undercover agent for the Supreme Dao Sect.]
Please use your heart to win over this unattainable beauty and warm her frozen Dao heart with your sincerity.
Break her ruthless rules, let this heartless saintess develop a sliver of human selfishness for you, and bring her down to earth.
She is the most selfless saint, but even saints have selfish desires; you are a rotten person mired in the mire, but even rotten people have true hearts.
Saints have selfish desires, scoundrels have genuine hearts; she is the cleanest white cloth, you are the most authentic mud, you are destined to attract each other.
The mission rewards are affected by the final favorability rating.
[System Special Note: This dungeon is extremely difficult. The Holy Maiden has cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness for many years and is no longer able to develop feelings for anyone. The favorability system in this dungeon has been changed to "Personal Value." Increasing your Personal Value is considered completing the mission.]
