Chapter 1833: True Natures

Gu Ting stared at the experts of the Qin Clan before turning to glance at Yue Changkong. He didn’t intend to give up like this and he continued to ask, “We will discuss that matter in the future. I still have a question. Yue Changkong, where are your sect members?”

Yue Changkong narrowed his eyes, staring at Gu Ting. It felt like Gu Ting wasn’t willing to leave the matter at that.

“My senior brothers and martial uncle lost their lives in a secret realm. Do I have to report this to you?” Yue Changkong coldly replied.

“Lost their lives in a secret realm?” The devil might around Gu Ting churned wildly. “I’m afraid things are not so simple, right? Everyone is very clear in your hearts why we came here. If someone abandoned his original heart and took shortcuts, influencing others, we naturally have to be clear of this. After all, I have no wish to lose my life while ‘adventuring’ inside a secret realm.”

The Great Devil Divine Palace was also a hegemonic power in the Mystic Region, their status was equal to the Ziwei Divine Court. They can be considered as knowing some details about Yue Changkong’s matter. Although this person’s talent wasn’t bad, and maybe if the Qingcheng Realmlord didn’t appear, he might be extremely dazzling to the point where he might even become a ranker on the Heavenly Dao Rankings, Gu Ting still didn’t believe that Yue Changkong could kill Lifeless so easily after they entered the world of reincarnation.

In that case, there was only one possibility.

The eyes of many experts here gleamed with sharpness. Gu Ting’s eyes had a penetrating look in them as devil intent coalesced around him. He swept his gaze towards everyone and when he saw many people remaining silent, he couldn’t help but coldly continue, “For those present here today, how many of you have already betrayed your original hearts and accepted the deals with those evil existences?”

The space was silent, but those who came from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms naturally understood what Gu Ting was talking about. As for those people who originated from the world of reincarnation, they didn’t understand at all. They only felt that the words of these people seemed to be covered in a layer of mystery.

Could it be the death of Yue Changkong’s sect members had something to do with him?

“Betray one’s original heart?” At this moment, a voice rang out. Gu Ting and the others turned their gazes over only to see that the speaker was a buddhist cultivator from the Western Paradise of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. He was the junior apprentice brother of Seven Abstinences. Right now, his palms were pressed together as he spoke, “My senior brother Seven Abstinences is currently heading to the Western Paradise in this world to seek the dao. He went there with his original body, untransformed by cultivation. That, is his original heart. And now, even if all of you wish to cultivate the evil arts, what’s wrong with it? That would simply be your original heart. So, why is there talk about betrayal? One’s original heart would show themselves under unique circumstances.”

“Reverend’s opinion is wise.” Gu Ting nodded. The monk’s words were right. If someone really chose to cultivate those evil arts, one could only say that they made the choice willingly and that was their original heart. In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, their natures might not have been revealed. But in here, their true natures have been shown.

The legendary place, this tempering exercise in the world of reincarnation, was the purpose to allow them to see themselves clearly and find their true selves?

“If one’s heart is inclined to buddha, he will naturally become a buddha. If one’s heart is inclined towards the devil, he will naturally become a devil. To be a buddha or a devil, it just takes a single thought.” The monk slowly spoke.

“Since this is the case, what does Reverend suggest we do to deal with this?” Gu Ting asked. In the crowd, clearly it wasn’t simply only Yue Changkong who has fallen so low. There should be several others hidden among the crowd, not revealing themselves. No one would be willing to expose themselves. Only Yue Changkong did so, wanting to display his newfound powers after gaining in strength.

“This is basically an unsolvable quandary. Everyone, whether would you be able to guard your original hearts or would your original hearts be invaded by evil, that would have to depend on yourselves.” The reverend shook his head and sigh. The eyes of some people flashed. This was truly a difficult problem.

All of them had cultivated to the world overlord realm, whose will and state of heart wouldn’t be tough? They all have their paths they wished to walk and wouldn’t change that easily. Making a deal with the evil spirits that could allow them to grow stronger at the cost of losing their true self? This wasn’t a dao they wanted to pursue. What if they went astray and cannot return? What should they do then?

However, if they don’t cultivate and if Yue Changkong has already cultivated, wouldn’t that mean that in the future when they contend against Yue Changkong, their fates would probably be like World Overlord Lifeless, dying without a whole body. Also, for Yue Changkong’s sect members, there were two of them who were rankers on the Heavenly Dao Rankings yet they vanished like this. Everyone could faintly guess that they most probably must have already died to Yue Changkong.

This disciple of the Ziwei Divine Court who once fooled the world by faking that he was the godking of time’s successor, was truly despicable to the extreme. To achieve his goals, he could do anything.

Hence, to everyone, to cultivate the evil arts or not was truly a very difficult question.

“Yue Changkong, you’ve cultivated the evil arts. Are you not afraid your dao heart would become unstable and you will be counter-devoured by the evil spirits instead?” Luoshen Lei’s eyes were red, as she stared at Yue Changkong. During the convention, this person was already extremely despicable. She has always looked down on him. But now, this despicable character actually killed her Grandpa Lifeless. This was something she couldn’t accept.

Yue Changkong continued sitting there, quietly listening to everyone. After that, an extremely icy smile appeared on his face.

How would he not have considered this? However, he knew that if he just depended on his own to cultivate, he could only endure the suppression by his martial uncle and two senior brothers. In the Ziwei Divine Court, he was living a life of shame and humiliation. When he first came here, he was forced to become a beggar. At that time when the bewitching voices rang out in his mind, he didn’t hesitate to accept and cultivate an evil art. For the sake of strength, for the sake of changing everything, even if he embarked on a path of no redemption, he didn’t give a damn. He was no longer the past Yue Changkong. He wanted to be lofty and high up just like before. Luoshen Lei looked down on him and viewed him with disdain? What about now? Most probably, she regretted that, right?

“For matters of cultivation, that would depend on the individual’s choice. Let’s not mention it again. Today, our topic would still be how should we deal with that group of people.” From the Chaos Region, an expert from a peak power spoke. His aura was transcendent and his voice was calm, causing many to cast a deep glance at him.

Gu Ting’s eyes turned cold. He also knew that it was impossible to continue and pursue this matter. Among the people here, Yue Changkong definitely wasn’t the only one who chose to cultivate the evil arts.

“I’ve captured a person there and despite my questions, he didn’t reply. Hence, I killed him.” Yue Changkong calmly spoke as though he was speaking of an insignificant matter. Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with killing intent. Yue Changkong actually brazenly kidnapped and killed students of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy?

“To make things clear first, this matter has nothing to do with me.” Devilox directly spoke. He didn’t want to be targeted.

“You basically cannot be considered part of this. With your status, it’s possible that you know nothing. This is very normal.” Someone faintly remarked. Devilox was a supreme character from the Divine Ox Clan of the Desolate Region. Hence, even if the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy knew the secret of the world of reincarnation, they wouldn’t reveal it to him.

Naturally, since Devilox has expressed his stance, if they could choose not to offend him, they naturally wouldn’t do so.

“Today, the purpose of the gathering is to mainly discuss about this. Next, we should use all methods we can to find the rest of the students from the sacred academy. What do you all think?” An expert from the Qin Clan spoke. As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards Goddess Nichang. She was so beautiful, stunningly beautiful, causing him to be unable to be calm. He wanted nothing more than to press her down beneath him at this instant.

Also for that young miss of the Luoshen Clan, she was also extremely beautiful. Although her beauty was inferior to Goddess Nichang, Luoshen Lei can also be considered a rare peak-level beauty whose appearance would cause the moon to shy away and the flowers to feel shame. If he could obtain them both, how beautiful would things be? In addition, in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the Luoshen Clan and Qin Clan had a grudge between them.

When he thought of this, lust built in his heart and a mysterious energy began to circulate in his body.

“I naturally agree.” Yue Changkong took the lead to express his stance. In the world of reincarnation, the person he wanted to meet with most was naturally none other than the Qingcheng Realmlord, a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. All the sufferings he had endured was brought to him by Qin Wentian. He wanted to repay Qin Wentian back with added interest.

“If anyone receives any inside news about this, don’t forget to share it with the rest of us.” A genius from a supremely strong power from the Heaven Region spoke. The people here all had different schemes. If those core students of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy really knew about the secret of this world, after they forced out the truth, it would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to their cultivation.

“That’s only natural.” Yue Changkong calmly spoke. However, this was clearly feigning civility. If someone learned of the secret of this world, who would be willing to reveal it to the others?

“At our gathering today, I initially wanted to invite everyone to have a spar to test our strengths. But now, I think everyone is no longer keen on that. Let’s talk again in the future then.” Yue Changkong continued. Right now, the hearts of everyone were filled with wariness. Even Yue Changkong’s martial uncle and senior brothers were killed. Anyone here could be an evil cultivator.

“Since this is the case, does everyone want to go and enjoy a banquet in the Qin Clan?” An expert from the Qin Clan spoke.

“No need.” Gu Ting calmly spoke. After that, he turned and left directly, “Farewell.”

After that, the group of experts from the Great Devil Divine Palace directly left.

They have been in this world for many years and everyone was clear of the situation here. Now that everyone has met with each other, it was already enough. There was no need to put on pretense and share a banquet together.

The various experts left one after the other. One of the Qin Clan’s experts walked towards Goddess Nichang and spoke, “Fairy Nichang, why don’t you come back with me to the Qin Clan for a meal?”

“No need.” Goddess Nichang calmly spoke.

“Uncle Qu would often stay in the Qin Clan’s manor as a guest. I treat Fairy Nichang as my kin, why is there a need to act so restrained?” That Qin Clan’s expert smiled. Qu Nichang coldly glanced at the person. If this was in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the world overlords of the Qin Clan definitely wouldn’t dare to speak with her in this manner because of Heaven’s Son Qin Dangtian’s existence. But in this place, these people of the Qin Clan seemed to be much bolder.

In addition, there was an invasive expression in the eyes of this person, burning with a fiery heat as though he had succumbed to evil.

Goddess Nichang faintly guessed at something. She merely cast another glance coldly at him and directly turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, the world overlords of the Qin Clan coldly smiled as lust flashed in their eyes. It was like their natures have been completely revealed in this world. This was then their true natures.
