Let the system try to save the world

Xitong stepped into the cave and looked at the decoration of the cave. Every few steps on the stone wall, there were luminous pearls as big as a baby's fist, emitting a soft light in the darkness.

This is not Xi Wanan's style. Xi Tong recalled that when they met several times, Xi Wanan always wore the unified Taoist robe of Tonghe Sect. A few years ago, during the battle in Xuanqing Realm, his sword was broken, and now he has not recast it, and he still uses the small sword given by the sect to new disciples.

"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality." Xi Wan'an coughed twice, walked down from the only stone bed in the room, dragged out a cushion and put it on the ground.

Xitong looked at the bed. It was covered with a straw mat, and underneath was a whole piece of thousand-year-old cold jade.

Just like the decoration style of the whole house, the collision of luxury and simplicity reveals an incredible difference.

"This bed was given by Master." Xi Wan'an poured him some tea. "It's better to say that most of this room was given by Master. I have always believed that cultivators cultivate their minds and don't care about these external things. It doesn't matter if they use the sky as a blanket or the ground as a bed. But... since it's a gift from an elder, I dare not refuse it, so I accepted it."

"It's really rude to meet you in this state." His face was pale, his hair was scattered on his shoulders, and he was only wearing a white Taoist robe. Blood could be faintly seen oozing from his wounds.

Xitong picked up the teacup, the aroma of tea filled the air, he savoured it carefully, it was also good tea.

"I owe you an apology." Xi Wan'an sighed, "Rong Yuan dragged the Yaoguang Goddess's transformation and Mr. Gu into the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss. I roughly know what he wants to do."

"Combined with what you asked me at the cemetery before, I guessed that Master arranged for Rong Yuan to do this." Xi Wan'an said, "But please believe me, the series of events that followed, including marrying Mr. Gu, were not what I wanted."

"That's okay." Xitong said, "Gu Yugui has already beaten you up, so it's okay as long as he doesn't care."

"Yes." Xi Wan'an smiled helplessly and coughed twice, "As expected of you, you are the disciple of Goddess Yaoguang. In just 30 years, you have been able to defeat a cultivator like me who has practiced for nearly a hundred years. Maybe I have been slacking off over the years."

"In my eyes, the Yaoguang Goddess's transformation is an object, while my junior sister is a living person." Xi Wan'an said, "If I can save my junior sister's life with an object, I will naturally do it without hesitation."

"Do you really know the person who pushed you into the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss?" Xitong asked.

"I know him." Xi Wan'an nodded. "It's a long story."

"Did this conversation happen?" Xitong asked, "Then let's make it short."

"Do you know why my junior brother... Rong Yuan became possessed by the devil?" Xi Wan'an asked.

"I don't know." Xitong replied.

"A hundred years ago, there was a scandal in the world of cultivation." Xi Wanan said.

"Why are there always scandals in your world of cultivation?" Xi Tong said.

"There is nothing new under the sun. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again." Xi Wanan muttered a lot of things, as if he was using some classic to explain to Xi Tong.

"Stop." Xitong made a pause gesture, "Don't preach. It gives me a headache."

"Didn't you ask before why we didn't kill Shen Fuguang?" Xi Wan'an said, "When a dragon dies, the dragon slayer will become a new evil dragon."

"Xuanqing Realm can be without the demon clan, but it cannot be without the Demon Lord." Xi Wan'an said, "It's not that our ancestors didn't kill the Devil Ancestor of Destruction."

"The Devil Ancestor of Silence is a demon born and raised by nature. Even if his body is temporarily shattered, he will naturally be reborn after hundreds or thousands of years." Xi Wan'an said, "It's just that people at that time didn't know this. They simply indulged in the happiness of being free of fear and threats."

"When cultivators practice, they often have inner demons." Xi Wan'an said, "If you can break through these inner demons and consolidate your Tao heart, you can make further progress."

"A hundred years ago, the number one sect in the cultivation world was not the Tonghe Sect, but the Quandao Sect." Xi Wanan continued, "At the Wuwei Dharma Assembly a hundred years ago, Song Yanci, the son of the head of the Quandao Sect, proposed:"

"What exactly is this so-called inner demon? Is it our imagination, or does it really exist? If it exists, where is it?"

"In the Dantian? Heart? Or brain?" Xi Wan'an asked, "If we can remove all these inner demons from the body, wouldn't the cultivator have a smooth journey from now on without having to worry about the shackles of the inner demons?"

"Song Yanci first conducted an experiment on himself." Xi Wan'an said, "Sure enough, after getting rid of his inner demons, he only needed to absorb spiritual energy without any scruples. His cultivation level advanced rapidly and he easily broke through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage."

"Seeing such a good thing, countless cultivators flocked to it. They joined Song Yanci's experiment one after another, removed their inner demons, and continued to cultivate."

"Reshape the soul and purify the mind." Xi Wan'an said, "They call this experiment..."

"Plastic Heart."

"But how can people control their own hearts?" Xi Wan'an sighed, "No one is perfect. Be it jealousy, lust, or arrogance, these concentrated negative emotions are the best sword, enough to penetrate the heart of everyone who has bad intentions towards Song Yanci."

"If a sword is held for too long, it will no longer be a sword." Xi Wan'an said, "The heart is detached from the seven emotions and six desires of human beings, and naturally it also has intelligence."

"It, or he... bewitched Song Yanci, causing him to kill his father and mother, and to rebel against his superiors. He used his blood relatives and the souls of thousands of mortals to strengthen the power of the Heart-Shaping and use it for his own benefit."

"My junior brother Rong Yuan and Song Yanci are of similar age. They met each other in their youth and became close friends. Tonghe Sect and Quandao Sect are far apart, so they can only communicate through letters. According to the letters found later, Rong Yuan is the first disciple of the Formation Dao. My junior brother also participated in the heart-shaping event."

"Song Yanci went berserk and eventually became possessed by a demon, and was killed by everyone in the Taoist sect. When Rong Yuan learned about this, he was unwilling to believe that his old friend would die in such a tragic way, so he chased after him with a sword."

"However, although Song Yanci died, many people benefited from the Plastic Heart. They did not want to destroy it, so they secretly preserved it, claiming that it could devour the inner demons."

"On the surface, the Heart Shapers were classified as demons and renamed 'Heart Devouring Demons'"

"They think they are in control, but in fact the Plastic Heart is ever-changing, and everyone only gets a clone of the Plastic Heart."

"When Rong Yuan arrived, the entire Quandao Sect was like a purgatory on earth. The monks fought each other, fathers killed sons, and disciples killed their masters. The scene was like a bloody sea." Xi Wan'an closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to watch. "The Heart Devouring Demon sat on the top of the Quandao Sect, wearing the skin of Song Yanci, and bewitched my junior brother to join in."

"Rong Yuan... used the spirits of all the people in the Dao Sect to open a passage to another world and threw the Heart Devouring Demon over there." Xi Wan'an said, "It doesn't matter if it's thrown over there. The two worlds are close to each other. Since that year, the spiritual energy of the Xuanqing World has leaked out, making it more difficult to practice Taoism."

"In order to prevent the slices of the Heart Devouring Demon from leaking out, Rong Yuan slaughtered all the Dao Sect members with his sword alone."
