Yin's method of killing the Venerable One to enter the calamity was so childish as to be almost "suicide".
She deliberately used the "Heart Demon Banner" (publicly known as the Ten Thousand Souls Banner) to detonate her own karmic obstacles and guide her inner demons into her body.
And then? Then they messed up the very first step!
With his inner demons raging and his spirit consumed by karmic fire, Venerable Yinsha only had time to hurriedly return to the Heshan Dao sect before falling into a state of "self-isolation," transforming into a "wild Teng Snake" in self-sealing.
But this is also part of Yin Sha Venerable's plan!
She was very kind and gentle, and she knew from the beginning that she couldn't overcome the tribulation of her inner demons.
Moreover, even if she overcomes the tribulation of her inner demons and achieves the elixir without regret, she will still not have the opportunity to attain the Dao and the Primordial Spirit.
So her real plan was to bring the fate of the Danghe Mountain Path to its lowest point and trigger the "Cataclysm of Life and Death" when the Danghe Mountain Path was destroyed and she was on the verge of death!
As the saying goes: Between life and death, there is great terror, but also great opportunity!
Yin Sha Zun Zhe was unsure whether this near-certain death plan could actually give him a glimmer of hope.
But she still went ahead and carried out the plan without hesitation!
The worst outcome would be the destruction of Heshan Dao, and Tengshe would also perish, being skinned and dismembered and used as raw materials.
Secondly, the Heshan Sect was destroyed, and the Tengshe was subdued by a Xuanmen master and became a pet and mount.
She will also have a glimmer of hope that, in the long years to come, she can use the fortune of the Xuanmen (mystical sect) to break through the tribulations of her inner demons and be reborn.
Perhaps there is still a sliver of a chance to obtain the opportunity to attain the Dao of the Primordial Spirit.
No matter how faint that glimmer of hope may be, or how utterly hopeless it may be, it is as different as heaven and earth compared to a sliver of hope.
Just like those who are born with strong divine will and have the potential to become immortals, entering the Dao and cultivating Qi is as simple as eating and drinking.
Prodigies of the Xuanmen sect who can enter the Dao in half a day and practice Qi in a day will appear every now and then.
However, for those without the potential for immortality or the cultivation of the Dao, the hurdle of crossing the threshold from the innate to the Dao requires enduring countless hardships and near-death experiences, with only one in a hundred succeeding.
If even entering the Dao and practicing Qi cultivation is like this, how much more so for attaining the Dao and cultivating the primordial spirit?
Of course, there were also some best predictions in Yin Sha Venerable's plan.
That was Heshan Dao's "rebirth from the ashes," and she was at the peak of her fortune, just in time to break through the tribulation of her inner demons. Through the changes in her fortune and destiny, she glimpsed a sliver of opportunity to advance to the primordial spirit.
However, even Venerable Yin Sha himself knew very well that this was just a mirage, an illusion that was almost impossible to realize.
And the current situation is a "dream ending" that she never dared to imagine!
"You're gambling your life on a pipe dream!"
Bai Cang finished processing the message that Yin Sha Zhenjun had transmitted when the two of them had merged in spirit and form.
He immediately said without any politeness, "If I hadn't appeared at the right time, you would probably be doomed forever."
Is such madness really worth it?
Even if he cannot attain the primordial spirit, "Venerable Yin Sha" is still among the most powerful people below the primordial spirit level.
Moreover, they have a long lifespan, with thousands of years to go, allowing them to live a carefree and unrestrained life.
Bai Cang, who had never experienced the despair of having her path severed, could not understand her actions.
"I would rather die than not attain enlightenment!"
Yin Sha Zhenjun simply said nonchalantly, "What's the difference between dying now and wasting thousands of years and dying of old age?"
Her nonchalant attitude had a tremendous impact on Bai Cang.
Even someone as self-assured as him with a firm Dao heart couldn't help but be shocked by Yin's resolute decision to kill Zhenjun.
In particular, she did not express any heroic sentiments, but rather took it for granted.
It's not difficult for a person to bravely face death when driven by certain emotions.
But to be able to calmly face death after careful and thoughtful consideration is a great courage!
At least, Bai Cang didn't think he had that kind of resolute determination to live even in the face of death!
It's better to live a wretched life than to die a glorious death; death is the only truly difficult thing in the world!
Thinking of this, it seemed somewhat unacceptable that she was actually inferior to Yin Sha Zhenjun in some way, and Bai Cang, as if possessed, stabbed her.
"He Shan Dao is truly blessed to have an ancestor like you!"
As soon as he said those words, Bai Cang regretted it!
It's not for any other reason than that I felt it was too petty.
Perhaps it was because of the "ten-day battle" and the extremely difficult victory.
He felt that he was becoming somewhat sensitive, especially to the words "win" and "lose".
"Ancestor Heshan, this is how it should be!"
Yin Sha Zhenjun glanced at Bai Cang with some curiosity upon hearing this, "Back then, when the Feng family's ancestor stood tall at Heshan, he was still unwilling to accept his fate before his death. He refined himself into an unparalleled inner demon, attempting to obstruct his disciples and grandchildren from proving the Way of the Heavenly Demon."
Later, the story unfolded of how he was surrounded and killed by his seven top disciples, and how he was forged into the Heart Demon Banner.
Among them were three of his legitimate sons and grandsons.
I simply stood by and watched; what more do they want?
Yin Sha Zhenjun's words were truly righteous and confident.
It has a certain "After I die, who cares about the deluge" attitude.
Bai Cang didn't see anything wrong with this.
I find this part of the story about "Master Heshan" quite interesting.
It can only be said that Heshan Dao truly lives up to its reputation as a major unorthodox sect, and indeed, it upholds the ancestral tradition of "kindness between teachers and filial piety between students."
From a certain perspective, unorthodox methods are actually the "demonic path" of this world!
After all, the Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect were only given the name "Demon Sect" because they lost the struggle against the orthodox Xuanmen sect.
In reality, they are no different from the major sects of the Xuanmen. They were all once the orthodox sects of this world, and their cultivation and practices also adhered to the "righteous path".
That was true at least once!
Therefore, judging from their conduct and style, the unorthodox sects such as Heshan Dao are the closest to the "demonic path".
However, Bai Cang would not hold any good or bad views about Heshan Dao or any unorthodox sects because of this.
The Way has no inherent good or evil; people are simply divided into good and evil.
The Great Way has never distinguished between good and evil, nor between the Way and the demonic.
It simply exists there objectively!
The way of Heaven is constant; it does not exist because of Yao, nor does it perish because of Jie.
It is good, it is evil, it is the Way, it is the Demon.
The distinction between Tao and Demon, good and evil, is merely an artificial, acquired classification.
If one day, the only way to attain enlightenment is to slaughter all living beings.
Bai Cang felt that he probably wouldn't hesitate at all, nor would he feel any psychological pressure!
Immortality is the greatest desire of humankind!
Those cultivators who pursue immortality are the most selfish and self-serving people!
When their core interests are not touched, they may restrain themselves with morality and rules.
Once it affects my path of cultivation, I will kill anyone who obstructs my way, whether they are ordinary people or relatives!
Isn't "Master Heshan" the best proof?
Thinking this through, Bai Cang immediately asked, "What are you planning to do next?"
Whether to revive Heshan Dao or dismiss everyone and become a carefree rogue cultivator, it was all Yin Sha Zhenjun's own choice.
Bai Cang has no intention of interfering!
"What's next? Of course, it'll be an eye for an eye, killing him and causing rivers of blood to flow!"
Yin Sha Zhenjun's eyes turned slightly cold. "If the Heshan Dao no longer exists, what reason is there for this unorthodox holy land of the Ten Thousand Mountains to exist?!"
[Thank you so much "Cola" sir! I'd like to ask for a free gift. I, Chu, thank you in advance.]
