#753 - The worldly life refines the heart
“I have always admired Lord Xuanwu's strategies,” said Shui Fangshu, the Sect Leader of the Water Moon Sect. “Since he says so, then this Li Chengfeng is definitely a threat that cannot be ignored.
We must act as soon as possible and not let him ruin our plans.”
Xuanwu's doppelganger nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
“This time, as long as Li Chengfeng shows himself, we must not let him escape unscathed,” Xuanwu's doppelganger said coldly. “Even if we can't kill him, we must severely injure him and let him know how powerful we are.”
The Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Demons sighed, his voice revealing helplessness and worry: “Easier said than done, but how cunning is that Li Chengfeng?
He simply won't show himself easily. Perhaps he is hiding all around us, like a lurking lion, ready to give us a fatal blow at any time.
He is simply too insidious and vicious. Besides, last time our plan was so meticulous, and we had the Chaos Pearl in hand, but we still failed to keep him here.
How can we easily succeed here? He can enter his magical artifact at any time to avoid our attacks.”
Upon hearing this, Shui Fangshu, the Sect Leader of the Water Moon Sect, smiled softly, the smile containing endless confidence and wisdom: “Fellow Daoist Heavenly Demon, don't be anxious. Every place has its own rules, and every place has its own methods.
Although we no longer have the Chaos Pearl, this is still his grave.
How many years have we planned to open the passage to the Spirit Realm? The resources spent are simply countless.
The plan started from my additions, but it still couldn't be done.
Now that we finally have a glimmer of hope, we will never allow anyone to destroy it. Even if it costs the lives of hundreds of thousands of disciples of my sect, we will not hesitate.”
Xuanwu's doppelganger nodded, his voice revealing firmness and determination: “We must not fail this time in dealing with Li Chengfeng. We don't have many chances left, we must succeed in one fell swoop.”
Beside them was also an elder, Ning Wen, who nodded. This person was a middle-aged man with some graying temples, but his eyes revealed wisdom and depth.
He slowly opened his mouth, his voice revealing hatred and incomprehension towards Li Chengfeng: “That Li Chengfeng, desperately cultivating, not hesitating to start wars, is a demon king, decisive in killing, wherever he goes, blood will surely flow like a river.
What is his purpose? Isn't it also for the power of the ancient demon corpse, and then refine it to open the ascension passage?
If that's the case, as long as we follow him, wouldn't we also be able to ascend? Why can't we cooperate with him?”
However, his words were not recognized by the others.
Shui Fangshu, the Sect Leader of the Water Moon Sect, gently shook her head, her voice revealing helplessness and sorrow: “Li Chengfeng is ruthless, selfish, and self-serving. He will never allow us to share his achievements.
Cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, and in the end, we will only end up in disgrace.”
Xuanwu's doppelganger looked at her, his eyes flashing with deep light, and slowly nodded, saying: “How could my true self not have thought of what you said?
However, don't forget that Li Chengfeng is a selfish person.
For his own benefit, he can disregard others, even using any means.
For the sake of longevity and ascension, he has already embarked on a path that belongs to him alone.”
“Furthermore, although his strength is very strong, how can he easily refine the ancient demon's corpse? The ancient demon's corpse is too huge, and it must be refined using special secret methods to succeed.
If the ancient demon refined by the power of our entire human realm is taken away by Li Chengfeng, after he opens the passage, he may disregard others and ascend first.
At that time, the efforts of all of us will be in vain.”
“We can't gamble. Who can guarantee that Li Chengfeng will be willing to stabilize the passage after opening it and allow us to negotiate with the Spirit Realm? Because the ancient demon is our bargaining chip for negotiating with the Spirit Realm.
As long as the Spirit Realm restores the passage, allows us to ascend, and provides us with a good cultivation environment, what does it matter if we send the ancient demon's corpse to the Spirit Realm?
After all, our human realm is too weak compared to the Spirit Realm. Not to mention anything else, the North Sea alone has already caused the human realm a lot of headaches.”
“And Li Chengfeng is arrogant and conceited. He will definitely want to secretly ascend to the Spirit Realm and stir up trouble there.
That way, it will bring disaster to everyone. Therefore, after thinking it over, my true self decided to kill him to avoid angering the Spirit Realm and completely bringing disaster to the human realm and to all of us.”
“Although my true self is also selfish and wants to ascend, he doesn't want to ascend alone, but wants to gather everyone's strength and ascend together.
Everyone who contributes to ascension should be rewarded. This is also the path my true self cultivates.”
The Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Demons nodded, agreeing deeply, and said: “That's right, Li Chengfeng must die.
His existence is a huge danger to everyone.
Now, everyone's goals are very clear, all for ascension, all for refining the corpse of that ancient demon.
It depends on whose methods are more brilliant. Although Li Chengfeng is powerful and has many forces under his command, he is still far behind us.
After all, we have allies in other continents, and our power is even greater.”
Speaking of this, the Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Demons couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
His coming here was actually like living under someone else's roof. Although he was arranged to cultivate in a place full of spiritual energy, the soaring sword energy and demonic energy undoubtedly announced his existence to Li Chengfeng.
He worried that he had become bait to attract Li Chengfeng.
Seeing the Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Demons in this state, Shui Fangshu, the Sect Leader of the Water Moon Sect, smiled slightly, her voice revealing reassurance and confidence: “Fellow Daoist Heavenly Demon, I know what you are thinking, but you have misunderstood.
After all, we are separated by a continent, and the cultivation methods we use are completely different.
Your aura and our aura cannot be mixed. Now we cannot close the guardian formation, otherwise Li Chengfeng will not throw himself into the net.
Don't think that you came here to be bait to attract Li Chengfeng, you are wrong.
In fact, we started planning this assassination a few years ago. This time, Li Chengfeng has no choice but to jump into our trap.
Li Chengfeng's ordinary conspiracies and tricks cannot achieve our kind of layout.
Do you know what secret technique my Water Moon Sect cultivates? It is 'Concealing Heavenly Secrets', which can cover up all heavenly secrets, making Li Chengfeng unable to detect it.
So, rest assured, we will not let you become bait.”
The Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Demons shook his head, indicating that he was not very clear about some things. He said frankly: “I have not been here for long, and I will need to ask for more guidance from you in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Shui Fangshu, the Sect Leader of the Water Moon Sect, explained with a smile: “We cultivate the path of passion and desire, which is the so-called dual cultivation method.
However, our passion and desire do not refer to physical passion and desire, but to the passion and desire of the soul.”
As soon as these words came out, the Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Demons was shocked. He had never heard of the cultivation method of the passion and desire of the soul, and he couldn't help but curiously inquire about it.
