Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Liu Mengli did not wait for Jiang Xinxin's reply. He held the jade slip in his hand and thought about it again and again. He finally confessed his thoughts to Murong Ziying. After all, the journey they had taken was enough for them to realize that Murong Ziying was different from other Qionghua disciples.

"What I said before about having memories in the cradle was probably not a lie or a fantasy," Liu Mengli gritted her teeth and finally said what she guessed, "and the Emperor's Jade on my neck has the functions we all know before, and it can also conceal my true identity and consume demonic energy."

"This makes me think more. Maybe I am not a human being, but a demon."

Murong Ziying was shocked by the truth of the matter. He couldn't imagine what would happen to the Qionghua Sect, a place dedicated to slaying demons and eliminating evil, if a demon that everyone hated suddenly sneaked in!

But he could not doubt Liu Mengli's guess. After all, judging from what he had heard about Yun Tianqing's deeds along the way, he would really save a monster, and Liu Mengli's origin was probably not simple. Otherwise, Yun Tianqing could have placed Liu Mengli in Qingfeng Pavilion and let the monsters there raise her, instead of taking away a treasure like the Emperor's Daughter Emerald and handing her over to a mortal like Governor Liu to raise.

Murong Ziying thought about a lot of things, but none of them was about revealing Liu Mengli's identity, let alone calling for her to be killed.

Not noticing any malicious intent, Liu Mengli felt even more grateful for Murong Ziying's kindness and was happy with her own vision.

Finally, Murong Ziying said to Liu Mengli in a serious tone: "I don't care what your true form is. Now you are my disciple. You must practice diligently every day and follow the founding purpose of my Qionghua Sect to slay demons and monsters. Don't make any mistakes or you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Liu Mengli felt relieved, bowed happily and respectfully and went out. But Murong Ziying could no longer calm down and lost interest in practicing.

Just now he blurted out excuses for Liu Mengli and seemed to be reprimanding her harshly, but in fact he was not sure. After a long time, he finally realized that Jiang Xinxin had such a great influence on him.

For almost half a year, Murong Ziying didn't talk to Jiang Xinxin again. Jiang Xinxin didn't care about Murong Ziying's escapist mentality because she had already started talking to Xuan Xiao.

At this time, Xuan Xiao not only chatted with Jiang Xinxin, but also hooked up with Yun Tianhe. Of course, Xuan Xiao didn't know Yun Tianhe's identity at first, and only thought he was a newcomer with outstanding talent. He didn't think of Yun Tianhe as a person, and would even guide Yun Tianhe in his cultivation when he was interested.

Yun Tianhe benefited a lot from Xuan Xiao, and naturally he trusted his cheap brother more and more.

At first, Jiang Xinxin didn't realize that Yun Tianhe could enter the forbidden area and had an affair with Xuan Xiao, but she occasionally mentioned the defects of the Xihe and Wangshu swords, and mentioned that the current owner of the Wangshu sword was a new disciple. Xuan Xiao, this bastard, actually guessed it was Yun Tianhe, and confirmed from Yun Tianhe that he was the son of Yun Tianqing and Su Yu.

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but roll her eyes, "So what if you know that Yun Tianhe is the son of Yun Tianqing and Su Yu?"

The Yang Yan on Xuan Xiao's body was so strong that Jiang Xinxin took a step back. Xuan Xiao saw Jiang Xinxin's little action and sneered: "Yes, I really can't do anything to Yun Tianhe in my current state, but it doesn't matter. That boy is stupid and naive enough. One day he will bring the Wangshu Sword to me and help me out of trouble!"

Because she had been discussing the Dao with Xuan Xiao for a while, Jiang Xinxin squatted back down and sighed casually, "You guys have narrowed the road."

Xuan Xiao didn't care: "There are thousands of paths to practice in this world, but only a few are suitable for everyone. You are here lamenting that we have narrowed the path of practice, but you don't know that this is another kind of prejudice. Do we have to follow your way to have a chance to climb to the top?"

This is very true, but it does not apply to the Qionghua Sect and Xuanxiao.

Jiang Xinxin said: "There are thousands of ways to cultivate, and the most basic one is to absorb spiritual energy and refine it. Only when you have spiritual energy in your body can you cast various spells. Different methods of absorbing and refining spiritual energy and casting spells are different, which gives rise to various sects of cultivating immortals."

"However, if you want to succeed in your cultivation, you must follow the way of heaven."

Xuan Xiao sneered, "Follow the way of heaven?!"

"I used to be just an ordinary mortal, with a life span of only forty to fifty years, or at most a hundred years. You said that I should follow the will of heaven, so I shouldn't have embarked on the journey to become an immortal!"

It sounds very reasonable. Jiang Xinxin sighed and said, "You are not wrong. The desire for immortality and immortal fate of all things in the world seems to be going against the will of heaven."

"But how can you be sure that you are not following the way of heaven when you embark on the path of seeking immortality?"

"Why do you think that all things in the world are going against the arrangement of heaven when they start to cultivate?"

Jiang Xinxin's words were indeed light and airy, but they were deafening to Xuan Xiao's ears.

Before, Xuan Xiao always thought that he was unlucky. In fact, if Yun Tianqing had not suddenly escaped with Su Yu, causing the Yan Yang in his body to lose the harmony of the Wangshu Sword, resulting in his current internal injuries that could not be healed, the entire Qionghua Sect might not have lost so many disciples, and it is even possible that the entire sect might have achieved the feat of ascending to heaven.

He actually knew the reason why Su Yu was willing to go with Yun Tianqing. After all, since they went down the mountain for the trial, he found that Su Yu and Yun Tianqing were very consistent in their sympathy for the poor and the weak, and their belief that monsters could be divided into good and evil. When the Qionghua Sect ascended to the sky, in addition to the blessing of the power of the Xihe and Wangshu swords, it also required a large amount of spiritual power to maintain the extension of the Xihe and Wangshu swords to the entire Qionghua Sect.

Therefore, the leader at that time, Taiqing Zhenren, set his sights on the Fantasy Demon Realm that passed over the top of the Qionghua Sect every nineteen years. He slaughtered the dream tapirs in the Fantasy Demon Realm to obtain the spiritual power in the dream tapir demon crystals.

Today, Xuan Xiao has to start facing up to the relationship between humans and demons.

In Xuan Xiao's eyes, Jiang Xinxin's cultivation was unfathomable. Even the elders from all over Qionghua could not resist the power of ice in this sealed place, but Jiang Xinxin could come and go freely without changing her expression, as if the effect of the ice power on her was less than the effect of the flames that occasionally erupted from his uncontrollable temper.

It is precisely because Jiang Xinxin’s cultivation is deep enough that Xuan Xiao believes that she is qualified to guide him. Therefore, he cannot ignore what Jiang Xinxin says.

Before leaving, Jiang Xinxin once again made a big revelation: "Before humans appeared, demons were the masters of the earth, and gods and immortals have always been in heaven."
