Chu Mo was also dumbfounded, the corners of his mouth twitching as he looked at the old man with black lines on his forehead.
The old man let out a long sigh, slowly sat down, and told Chu Mo a story that was a secret even in the Heaven Realm.
"This old man was born in a very small family in the Heaven Realm. My family was very small, and my ancestors were not prominent. Therefore, although this old man was quite talented when I was young, I suffered from a lack of resources. However, due to the lack of resources, his cultivation increased very slowly. This situation finally improved after this old man stepped into the Ascension Stage. At that time, when I went out to collect herbs, this old man met the Blood Demon Ancestor, but at that time, he was not called the Blood Demon Ancestor yet. His real name was Ding Ling. "
As the old man narrated, a dusty past of tens of thousands of years slowly unfolded in front of Chu Mo like a scroll.
This old man's name was Wang Zhong, a very ordinary name. After meeting Ding Ling, the two of them quickly became friends who could talk about anything.
At that time, Ding Ling did not have many shortcomings other than being a little selfish and a little black-hearted.
"However, all of this changed completely with his opportunity." Wang Zhong sighed. "Ding Ling was originally a human, and like this old man, he was born in a small family. He could not borrow any power from the family, so he could only rely on himself. Fortunately, we were both born in the Heaven Realm. In the Heaven Realm … as long as you are diligent enough, it is generally not a problem to cultivate to the Perfected Golden Immortal realm. "
Chu Mo nodded and said with some envy, "Yes, this kind of thing … There is no fairness to speak of. In the Spiritual Realm, it is already a very great thing for a similarly talented genius to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage. "
"Yes, this old man and Ding Ling were like brothers at that time. We went out together to find various kinds of herbs, find resources to sell for money, and then buy pills. Those days at that time should be the happiest period of my life. "Wang Zhong said in a deep voice." Later, Ding Ling went out by himself once and mistakenly entered a relic. That relic, however, was left behind by an almighty demon. Ding Ling failed to resist the temptation and inherited the legacy of that powerful demon … "
At that moment, Chu Mo recalled that he had met a mighty figure of the Fiend race in the Sinkhole. Although he did not learn the legacy of that mighty figure, he had learned many of the Fiend race's techniques from him. Moreover, in Chu Mo's opinion, the Devil Race … might not really be as evil as people said. At the very least, the mighty figure of the Demon Race that he had met seemed very normal.
So he couldn't help but ask, "Are all demons … evil?"
Wang Zhong glanced at Chu Mo and sneered, "How could there be an evil race in this world? There are only evil hearts, my child! "
Chu Mo was stunned for a moment before he said, "What you said makes sense!"
It was almost the same thing Chu Mo had said to Qi Xiaoyu. However, people's horizons were different, and there were always things they couldn't see. Therefore, after hearing Wang Zhong talk about the Devil Race, Chu Mo felt enlightened.
"I didn't quite understand this principle back then." Wang Zhong smiled wryly at Chu Mo. "When I found out that my best brother had inherited the demon race's legacy and became a demon, my first reaction was boundless anger. I went to question him and asked him why he had chosen this path. He told me that he wanted to become stronger. "
Wang Zhong exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said, "I can't refute your words. Yes, who doesn't want to become stronger? In the cultivation world, who doesn't want to break through to a higher realm? But after that, the two of us gradually drifted apart. Then, one day, he suddenly came to find me. At the time, both of us were already at the sovereign realm, but his cultivation was a bit stronger than mine. At the same time, his title as the Blood Demon Patriarch was already very famous. Many cultivators were afraid of him, even when they heard his name. But when I heard these four words, I only felt sorrow in my heart. "
Wang Zhong looked at Chu Mo. "Can you understand that feeling? You could only watch as your best friend fell into the abyss step by step, yet you were powerless to do anything. That feeling … was very uncomfortable. " As he spoke, he sighed. "He came to find me and said that there was a method that might give me a chance to step onto the path of a sovereign. At that time, I advised him to turn back, brother … you can't continue to sink like this. In the end … he told me a method that I had never heard of before. "
Chu Mo looked at Wang Zhong and said, "The method that caused you to come here?"
Wang Zhong nodded and smiled bitterly. "At that time, I thought that since those people were all people with heinous sins, it shouldn't be too much to treat them however I wanted, right? The more I thought about it … the more I started to hunt. Because of this action of mine, I even left a huge reputation in the Heaven Realm! "
"Punishing evil and promoting good … will definitely leave a good reputation." Chu Mo also smiled bitterly. He thought to himself that one could not just look at the surface of things in this world. Who would have thought that the reason Wang Zhong caught those evil and heinous criminals was not really to punish them, but to find a way to become a Supremacy?
If they did not know the truth, perhaps no one would think that Wang Zhong was wrong to do so. Apart from those evil people themselves.
However, even if he knew the truth, Chu Mo could not blame Wang Zhong at all. He could not say that what he did was wrong. After all, those evil people … indeed deserved to die!
If one were to say that Wang Zhong's only mistake was that he did not truly understand the Heavenly Way.
"In that case, the Blood Demon Ancestor Ding Ling was not as crazy as he was later?" Chu Mo looked at Wang Zhong because when he mentioned the Blood Demon Ancestor, Wang Zhong had blurted out the word "demon" and had a complicated expression on his face. This was enough to show that the two of them had crossed paths later on. Furthermore … it was very likely that they had become enemies.
Wang Zhong nodded and said, "At that time, Ding Ling had actually already fallen into the Demon Path. This demon … was actually his heart! He started to use all means and became more ruthless … Later on, I heard that he actually cultivated an evil technique called 100 Bodies Return to One. It has to be said that it is not unreasonable for people to hate the Demon Race. Many evil techniques originate from the Demon Race. This Hundred Forms Return to One Evil Skill is one of the representative evil skills. In the entire Fiend Race, its reputation is also very great! "
When Chu Mo heard Wang Zhong talk about this technique, he could not help but smile bitterly in his heart. If not for this technique, how could he have gotten involved with an existence like the Blood Demon Ancestor? From then on, they became mortal enemies?
Wang Zhong sighed and said, "After I heard that he cultivated this technique, I rushed over to dissuade him. However, at that time, Ding Ling had completely fallen into the Demon Path and was almost crazy. He did not listen to my advice at all. Instead, he blamed me and said that the evil technique he cultivated was essentially no different from the technique I cultivated! "
