Chapter 192 How can a true immortal be without human heart?
A light appeared in the eyes of Taoist Jingxin. It was obvious that Xue Xiaohei's lofty ambitions touched his heart.
After all, in this world full of despair, a cultivator who follows the rules a little bit when eating people can already be considered to be on the right path. As for Xue Xiaohei, an ambitious person who is determined to create a bright and clear world, he is simply a point of pure light in the endless darkness!
Killing is, of course, bad.
But if this world is inherently evil, then slaughter becomes "justice" in another sense!
And when this strange light of justice appears, the moth that is forced to live in darkness will instinctively approach and yearn for this unique light, and then burn with the light...
"You are the first person who dares to say that the Taoist ancestors should die, and you are also the first person who dares to say that the immortals should die! You are really a lunatic! A lunatic!"
Surprised, frightened, and even excited, the gentle Jingxin Taoist slapped his thigh hard and couldn't help but utter a string of vulgar curses:
"But...you're so damn right!!!"
"This world has gone astray! There is no hope! All cultivators deserve to die! The immortal path should also perish!"
"If Daozu knew it but didn't do it, he deserves to die and his dog head should be smashed!!!"
Xue Xiaohei: ???
Seeing this Taoist actually saying such vulgar words that were not in line with his image, and even cursing more harshly than himself, Xue Xiaohei looked at him in surprise:
Why do I feel that this person's emotions are even more extreme than mine...
[In your surprise, the irritable Jingxin Taoist seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. After calming down, he bowed to you seriously and sincerely.]
[“Fellow Daoist, can you take me with you?”]
【He asked to join the group.】
[A True Immortal voluntarily joins your army. This is of course an unexpected happy event. With his help, your efficiency in slaughtering the prehistoric immortals will be greatly improved! ]
[But you are a little hesitant, because you don't dare to trust others rashly when you meet them for the first time, and also because... you have a psychological cleanliness problem. ]
[You have always called yourself a demon, and you regard the immortal ways in the world as evil, but evil and demons cannot coexist... Although this Taoist Jingxin's words sound better than his singing, he was able to cultivate to the level of a true immortal, so he must have eaten countless people. He is the most evil of the evil ways! ]
[The reason why you didn't kill him directly was simply because you were not strong enough, and now this evil person wants to join you...]
【Jingxin Taoist obviously saw your disgust and struggle, so he laughed at himself: Daoist friend, there is no need to hesitate. I know that I have committed serious sins, so I dare not beg for my life.】
[I can completely entrust my life to you, Taoist friend. Whether I am to work like a slave or to be a scapegoat, I will do whatever you say. My life and death are entirely decided by you, Taoist friend!]
[Hearing his sincerity, you finally let go of some of your guard and cleanliness, and nodded to agree to his joining. No matter what, it's not bad to have someone to do your bidding...]
[When the great task of destroying the immortals is accomplished, it won’t be too late to kill him! ]
【…】
[With a genuine immortal joining you, your slaughtering efficiency will be much faster. Every time you arrive in a country, you will slaughter the cultivators of both the righteous and evil sects in the country, while the Taoist Jingxin will kill the corrupt officials and the incompetent rulers, and then establish a new court to effectively govern the country.]
[One monk after another was crushed to death, one cave after another was razed to the ground, and one corrupt imperial court after another was slaughtered with countless heads rolling...]
[You two True Immortals brought death and slaughter to the places you passed through, and your ferocious power shocked all directions. However, under this terrifying high-pressure method, the lives of the people in various countries have improved. Although you cannot ascend to the fairyland in one step, you have ascended from purgatory to the human world.]
[Two destructive thunderbolts killed one rebellious bitch after another, and dispersed the dark clouds that enveloped the world...]
[While you were slaughtering people like crazy, Jingxin Taoist also saw that you were a wild person, but he did not look down on you. Instead, he generously shared with you the various immortal arts and methods inherited from his family. With this inheritance, your combat power has become even stronger.]
[During this friendly interaction, your impression of him gradually improved, from a precious thing that was beyond belief, to a "precious thing with a bit of kindness"...]
【So, you began to actively communicate with him about many things, such as spiritual practice, life, and the past... In the process of this communication, you gradually gained a more objective and comprehensive understanding of him. 】
[Jingxin Taoist is a typical righteous person. When he was young, he longed for the immortal way and became a disciple in a blessed place. He dreamed of punishing evil and promoting good like the heroes who uphold justice in myths and legends! ]
【But...the reality is cruel. 】
[From the fear and disgust he felt when he first learned that spiritual energy originated from the souls of mortals, to his gradual numbness and deliberate ignorance, and finally to his final attitude of treating it as if it were natural... The mental journey of Jingxin Taoist can basically represent the changes in the mentality of righteous monks since the end of the law.]
[It’s not that they are born to like eating people, but there is no other way to cultivate immortality except eating people! ]
[Some people try to numb themselves, some pretend to be blind, and some choose to escape from everything. After quickly becoming a true immortal, they immediately enter the fairyland: they believe that the fairyland will have infinite spiritual energy and many resources. As long as they reach the fairyland, they will no longer have to eat humans! Everything will be fine! ]
[Some people choose none of the three, such as Jingxin Taoist.]
[After becoming an immortal by eating humans, Jingxin Taoist did not continue to eat humans, nor did he enter the immortal world. Instead, he chose to stay in the mortal world and lived in seclusion here as an ordinary person.]
[His Taoism had long been shaken and hit when he ate people. He felt hopeless about the future of the immortal path and only wanted to live a dull life among mortals. He no longer wanted to climb to a higher level because he felt that he, who ate people, was not worthy of continuing to practice! ]
[If your killing behavior had not alarmed him who was hiding among the people, he would have continued to live a dull life, occasionally doing some good deeds, and that would have been enough...]
[It was you who changed him. You, the candle in the darkness, ignited this lifeless moth. He had lived enough and now only wanted to burn himself and try his best to light up this desperate world! ]
[In summary, Jingxin Taoist is a person who wants to atone for his sins. His purpose is very simple and he did not join the gang out of personal gain.]
[But it is precisely because of his overly simple purpose that you are somewhat suspicious: If he wants to atone for his sins so much, why didn't he atone for his sins before? He has to atone for his sins only after seeing me... Am I so exaggeratedly contagious? ]
[You are not a scheming person. You come from a humble background and always like to speak directly, so you asked him this question directly: "Why don't you continue to live in seclusion? When I come, you have to join me..."] [Faced with this straightforward question, Jingxin Taoist was a little caught off guard, but since you asked it so directly, he answered straightforwardly: Because I can see at first glance that you are extraordinary! ]
[How can a golden fish stay in a pond? Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon! ]
[Do ordinary people dare to say that they want to create a bright and clear world? Do ordinary people dare to threaten to sever the immortal path? Do ordinary people dare to curse the Taoist ancestor? ]
【Obviously, you are not an ordinary person. 】
[After hearing this, you seem to have realized something... but you still don't believe it, because this standard of judgment is too unreliable. If a lunatic comes, he will still dare to curse and beat Daozu's dog head. What's the point? The lunatic even dares to call him a peddler...]
[Faced with your repeated questioning, the helpless Jingxin Taoist had to tell the truth: Although the above are all reasons, the most important factor that made him give up the idea of living and resolutely join your army is actually because...]
【“Because you’ve never eaten a human!”】
[Jingxin Taoist grinned: A fellow who has never eaten a human being can actually practice and become a true immortal, and is even about to break through to a celestial immortal...]
[To be honest, he really thinks you are the reincarnation of a saint! ]
[Following a lunatic is naturally meaningless, but following a lunatic who seems to be the reincarnation of a saint... that's called "following the dragon"! ]
[Jingxin Taoist doesn't expect to get any credit for following the dragon, but he really sees hope in you to end all evil! ]
[And this hope is actually enough for him to lead the charge...]
[Hearing this unexpected but reasonable answer, you can't help but glance at the colorful bird perched on your shoulder: Reincarnation of a saint? Of course not, but "creating something out of nothing" is almost the same. ]
[Besides, in a sense, you are more awesome than a saint, because you are the real protagonist! ]
【Can the protagonist succeed? 】
[You have never doubted this! ]
……
Another cave among the ruins.
A simple young man in black sat cross-legged on the dirt and stones, closing his eyes and practicing quietly...
Not far away, the Taoist Jingxin in white robe was protecting him.
In fact, there is no need for protection, because there are basically no immortals in the mortal world. A true immortal, even if he just sits on the ground to practice, no one can threaten him.
It is said that he is protecting the way, but in fact he is letting him watch the ceremony:
A fairy is about to be born in the mortal world!
"Fairy..."
Looking at his youthful appearance, Taoist Jingxin couldn't help but be amazed.
Since joining the group a year ago, the communication between the two sides has gradually deepened. Not only has Xue Xiaohei learned more about him, but he has also learned more about Xue Xiaohei:
In fact, there is not much to know, because this kid is really only in his early thirties. He spent the last twenty years of his life as a butcher in various places, and the first eight years as an ordinary rural child. All he can tell you is the three days of legendary experience he had when he was eight years old.
It was a very simple resume, as innocent as it could be. It was basically about his family being destroyed in one day, and then he became a True Immortal in three days, and then he started to kill, kill, kill...
He is just like Long Aotian, a standard protagonist template, and his halo is almost maxed out!
However, the more his aura was enhanced, the more certain Jingxin Daoist was that he had chosen the right dragon:
This must be the mythical big shot who has come down to earth to experience the calamity...
"But no matter what, a 30-year-old celestial being... is too amazing!"
Taoist Jingxin was in a state of confusion. He was happy that the darkness in the world could be broken, but he also doubted his life because of this kid's incredible resume.
Back then, my master said that I would become a true immortal after more than a hundred years of cultivation, which means I would be a genius among righteous geniuses. But what the hell is this kid? This speed is rare even in the mythical era!
"He is really the reincarnation of a saint, right?"
Since he could not see that the colorful bird was providing spiritual energy to Xue Xiaohei, in his eyes, Xue Xiaohei was creating something out of nothing, and spiritual energy was naturally generated as soon as he practiced. This undoubtedly misled his judgment further.
And creating something out of nothing is the typical sign of a saint!
"So who is he?"
Daozu? Three Pure Ones? Two Saints?
It can't be Nuwa...
Just as he was wondering which saint this kid was the reincarnation of, Xue Xiaohei on the opposite side suddenly changed his aura and became ethereal...
The young man in black opened his eyes, and a celestial being that was unique in the world officially came to the mortal world!
