"That's great, but before we go, there's something I'd like to ask."
"What is it, Venerable Master?"
"Ten thousand years ago, when this secret realm first appeared, many people from the outside barged in."
Seeing Gu Tong nod, Gu Qingfeng asked, "Do you know their whereabouts?"
"When this secret realm first appeared, it was as if the heavens and earth were falling apart. Many demons and ghosts died, and the immortals who barged in from the outside weren't spared either. Most of them died."
"What about the small number?" Gu Qingfeng asked, "As far as I know, some of them are still alive."
"Back then, there were indeed a small number of people who barged into the One-Line Sky Forbidden Zone to avoid the disaster. No one knows whether they're still alive or not."
"The One-Line Sky Forbidden Zone?"
"It's an ancient ruin. It's extremely dangerous. Over the years, almost no one who barged in has ever come out. That's why we call it the One-Line Sky Forbidden Zone."
"Oh? There's such a thing? "Gu Qingfeng rubbed his chin and asked," An ancient ruin? How ancient is it? And when is it? "
"I don't know either."
"Is that so …."
Gu Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know where the ruin is?"
"I do."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to take me there."
"This … Venerable Master, the ruin is extremely dangerous. Even the reclusive seniors of the secret realm don't dare to barge in. What do you think …."
"It's fine, I know what to do."
"This … Alright."
Gu Tong left some instructions at Blackscale Mountain, then led Gu Qingfeng to the One-Line Sky Ruins. Zi Jin and Zi Qing had been waiting in the carriage at the foot of the mountain. When they heard that Gu Qingfeng had found their master's whereabouts, they were very excited and grateful to Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Tong was worthy of being an old monster that had cultivated in the Quicksand Secret Realm for tens of thousands of years. When the other monsters saw him leading the way, not only did they not block the way, they even made way for him.
Obviously.
Gu Tong was very respected here, regardless of whether they were enlightened or unenlightened, they all treated him with respect.
Gu Qingfeng sat on a chair at the front of the carriage and said with a smile, "You have quite the reputation here."
"Esteemed Lord, you must be joking. When I have free time, I will teach them some cultivation methods and try my best to help them develop their minds. Only when their minds are developed can the demons gradually learn to restrain their nature. This will also reduce some of the killing."
Gu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
Before demons developed their minds, although they had self-awareness, this awareness was dominated by their nature. There was no good or evil, nor was there any morality. Bloodthirstiness and savagery was a very common thing for them. If they developed their minds, with the increase of experience, they would not be as ignorant as before. Perhaps they still did not know what good or evil was, but at least they would understand what gratitude, respect, and fear were.
Actually.
In Gu Qingfeng's eyes, there was no difference between demons and humans, immortals, or even demons.
Some demons might be savage by nature, but that was only their nature. Compared to those immortals who spoke of benevolence and morality on the surface but were sinister on the inside, the demons' savage nature was nothing.
To tell the truth.
Gu Qingfeng had cultivated for more than five hundred years and had interacted with various Great Daos. His friends were either demons or demons. As for immortals, he despised them from the bottom of his heart. It was not because he had been encircled by the Immortal Dao back then, but because those immortals were too hypocritical. They liked to stand on the moral high ground at every turn, often doing shameless things in the name of eliminating demons and protecting the Dao.
Gu Qingfeng hated such hypocritical people the most.
"I heard that the Demon Dao and the Immortal Dao have broken off relations. Do you know about this?"
"This … this humble one has heard of it."
"After so many years, has the Demon Dao not sent an emissary to inform you of this?"
The Immortal Dao liked to establish Sengoku in the Myriad Realms to educate and cultivate immortality. This way, they could not only occupy the resources of the Lesser Thousand Realms, but there would also be more and more immortals, and the Immortal Dao would grow stronger.
Of course.
In addition to the Immortal Dao, the Demon Dao would also do such things. The Immortal Dao would establish Sengoku in the Myriad Realms, and the Demon Dao would also establish demon mountains in the Myriad Realms to gather demons and educate them. With more demons, the Demon Dao would also grow stronger.
Now that the Demon Dao and the Immortal Dao had broken off relations, Gu Qingfeng thought that the Demon Dao would also send an emissary to educate the unenlightened demons here, so as to prepare for war with the Immortal Dao in the future.
"Not yet. There aren't many demons in our Secret Realm."
"Although there aren't many, there definitely aren't few, right? Just like your Black-Scaled Demon Mountain, how many are there here? "
"Hundreds."
"There are hundreds of demon mountains, and that's not a lot? Every demon mountain should have at least tens of thousands of demons, and every demon mountain should have at least one or two old demons like you, right? If all of them were gathered together, it would definitely be a powerful demon army. Although they wouldn't be able to shake the Immortal Dao, they'd be able to easily occupy a heavenly realm in the great wilderness. "
Gu Tong's face paled at Gu Qingfeng's words. He hurriedly explained, "Esteemed Master, please don't misunderstand. We absolutely don't have such intentions. Although there are hundreds of demon mountains here, they don't coexist peacefully with each other. Killing occurs from time to time, so why would we join forces to occupy a heavenly realm? No, no, absolutely not. "
"Hahaha! What are you afraid of? I'm not an Immortal, so I won't tell on you to the Immortal Dao. Besides, if you do occupy a heavenly realm, I'll be cheering you on. "
"Esteemed Master, whether or not you are an Immortal, we won't occupy a heavenly realm of the Immortal Dao. The reason I chose to leave the Great Wilderness and come to this Secret Realm was to distance myself from the conflict of the Great Dao."
"Leave the Great Wilderness? Distance yourself from the conflict of the Great Dao? " Gu Qingfeng smiled and shook his head, saying, "All the worlds in the universe are in the Great Wilderness, how can you leave? You want to stay away from the conflict of the Great Dao? You are in the Demon Dao, so how can you stay away from the conflict of the Great Dao? Even if you can, you won't be able to distance yourself from the conflict of the Great Dao. Humans fight with humans, Immortals fight with Immortals, and demons fight with demons. As long as there's life, there will be conflict. It's been like this since ancient times. You can't distance yourself from it, and no one can. "
It was unknown if Gu Qing Feng's words had struck a chord in Gu Tong's heart, but Gu Tong suddenly stopped. He glanced at Gu Qing Feng and then sighed. This sigh seemed to have exhausted the helplessness in his heart.
Indeed.
Just as he said, when he left the Great Wilderness and came to this Secret Realm, he wanted to distance himself from the conflict of the Great Dao. Although the Quicksand Secret Realm had disappeared from the Great Wilderness for nearly ten thousand years and was indeed far away from the conflict of the Great Dao, the demons in this Secret Realm had always been fighting. Not to mention demons of different races, even demons of the same race with the same bloodline were always fighting.
He couldn't and couldn't leave.
