164: Chapter 163 The Path of Demons and Evil

Kesha was silent for a moment, a trace of complexity flashing through her eyes.

Having been hostile for thirty thousand years, the world all thought that she and Morgana were irreconcilable Mortal enemies, but only she herself knew that a trace of old affection always remained deep in her heart.

Kesha spoke softly, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness, "She is my biological younger sister. In the past, she was the most reliable Heavenly King of the Angel Civilization, accompanying Hexi and me to overthrow Huaye's Heavenly Palace Order and protect the entire Angel Civilization. But later, she became paranoid about Void Realm fear and embarked on the so-called path of freedom and depravity."

A trace of complexity flashed across her eyes: "Time and again I rounded her up, and time and again I held back, merely hoping that she would turn back. Yet she insisted on building the Demon Civilization, propagating depraved ideologies, and becoming the greatest evil in the Super God World Universe. As the King of Angels, under the Order of Justice, I had no choice."

Ye Qingxuan looked at her: "Obsessions mislead others and oneself alike. Righteousness and evil have never lain in names, but in the heart."

This single sentence directly pierced the root, causing Kesha's figure to tremble slightly as she experienced a sudden Epiphany.

Hexi at the side was also deep in thought; for tens of thousands of years, they had only discussed right and wrong, never seeing through this fundamental layer.

Ye Qingxuan paused for a moment and continued: "This Daoist has a Demonic Path Legacy here. This path is overly extreme, differing from Daoism, Buddhism, and Martial Arts. Having observed this entire Realm, only your younger sister is suited for it."

"This Daoist intends to impart the Heavenly Demon Path to her. She has already paid off the blood debt to Yanhuang; as for the rest, they are not within this Daoist's scope of consideration."

The live streaming room instantly exploded with barrage comments.

[My goodness! It turns out Kesha and Morgana are biological sisters? That is why she could never bring herself to kill Morgana?!]

[The sisters fought for thirty thousand years, yet in the end, the one who couldn't let go was still the elder sister!]

[Daoist Ye hits the nail on the head! When the Heart-Nature is wrong, cultivating anything goes awry!]

[Wait, Daoist Ye is preparing to give the Demonic Path Legacy to Morgana? Is that feasible?]

A golden barrage flashed past: [I trust Fellow Daoist Qingxuan's discernment. If he says it works, then it certainly works.]

[Whoa, is that Senior Li Qiye? Then it is fine, just blindly trust Daoist Ye.]

National Destiny Space ——

Kesha and Hexi exclaimed in unison: "The Demonic Path?"

The group of little angels behind them also looked at Ye Qingxuan in disbelief. Towards the word 'demon', they naturally interpreted it as evil. In their view, Ye Qingxuan was a figure of the Righteous Path—although his murderous intent was a bit large, how could he possibly be associated with demons?

Ye Qingxuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the two with a half-smile: "Indeed!"

Kesha still hadn't turned the corner: "But Liangbing is the greatest evil in the known Universe..."

Hexi interrupted her best friend's words: "Enough, tomboy. To Daoist Ye, Liangbing cannot yet be considered evil."

Then she turned her head to look at Ye Qingxuan.

"Daoist Ye, given our Realm, we still cannot understand. Can you explain the difference between the Demonic Path and the Evil Path?"

Ye Qingxuan immediately held Hexi in higher regard: "Prejudices in people's hearts are like a huge mountain."

"The Demonic Path has a complete system and acknowledges the rules of Heaven and Earth. It's just that the path it walks is somewhat extreme compared to the Righteous Path. It has its own rules and will not indiscriminately slaughter the innocent lightly."

"Humans have seven emotions and six desires—joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, love, hate, and fear—all of which can be transformed into cultivation. One does not forcibly suppress their original heart and acts according to their desires."

"After succeeding in cultivation, one can similarly attain the Dao and longevity. Heavenly Dao will not directly obliterate Demonic Path Cultivators."

"Demon Cultivators who only hunt and Cultivate by slaying evil monsters and demons, without harming Mortals, belong to the Demonic Path."

Ye Qingxuan stated his understanding of the Demonic Path in a calm tone; this was what he had comprehended during those three hundred years in the heavens pagoda.

Listening to Ye Qingxuan's explanation, Hexi carefully compared Morgana's actions and found that it was indeed so. To Ye Qingxuan, as long as it had nothing to do with Yanhuang, Morgana could not yet be considered evil, but could only be considered wicked.

Angel Lingxi, standing at the back, weakly asked: "Then what about the Evil Path?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's gaze gathered on her, and even Qilin, who was drawing circles in her heart, looked over.

Bai Yuekui ignored these matters. She had long known these differences and was still intently stewing fish soup for the kitten, while Xiaojiu followed closely behind her, meowing.

Her original culinary skills were indeed mediocre, but Qiushi told her:

'Boss, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach!'

She deeply agreed with this. By having the foodie Xiaojiu by Ye Qingxuan's side, as long as she coaxed the kitten well and had this assistant, did she still need to fear failing to win over Ye Qingxuan, a cat lover?

Although she had already won him over.

With the cultivation of a half-step integration state, mere culinary skills were easily handled! (Proud face)

Lingxi's little face turned red as she shrank behind Angel Leng.

Ye Qingxuan wore an approving expression:

"The Evil Path, also called crooked and wicked ways, relies on harming others to benefit oneself, plundering the Origin of living beings, forcibly raising one's cultivation, and trampling on the balance of Heaven and Earth. It can be achieved quickly, but it is also easily countered."

"With no bottom line whatsoever, sacrificing living beings and tampering with Karma, Evil Path cultivation inherently violates the operational rules of the world. The higher the cultivation, the faster Heavenly Punishment and Heart Demons will come knocking, making it hard to last long."

"Its essence does not care about good and evil, only coveting power; for the sake of growing stronger, everything can be sacrificed."

"To summarize in one sentence: the Demonic Path takes an extreme route, yet it guards its bottom line and does not harm others without cause; the Evil Path stops at nothing, relying on butchering living beings to plunder power, and is intolerable to Heaven and Earth."

Listening to Ye Qingxuan narrate smoothly, everyone present suddenly came to a realization.

"As expected of the Ancestral Master, his summary is simply incisive!"

I do not know when it was, but Xiujing had brought a group of Daoist Sect Heads from the Super God World here. Ye Qingxuan had long since noticed them, but simply couldn't be bothered to pay attention to them—a bunch of sycophants.

From the moment this group of angels flew over, they had seen them. A flock of large fluttering moths was flying across the sky; only a blind person wouldn't be able to see them.

The arrogance of the Angel Tribe was carved into their bones. The era of divine bodies had already passed, yet they still had no idea how to restrain themselves.

With the Ancestral Master around, they reckoned they couldn't stir up any major trouble anyway. Xiujing simply came over to watch the commotion, and the other Sect Heads followed Xiujing over.

Kesha and Hexi also discovered Xiujing and the others, but since these people were all Ye Qingxuan's Disciples and descendants, they didn't say anything either.

Hexi carefully compared it in her heart:

"Then, Karl studying the Void Realm and using countless civilized living beings for experiments belongs to the Evil Path; Liangbing's Demon Civilization merely propagates ideologies and does not actively slaughter ordinary civilizations, so it can only be considered the Demonic Path?"

Ye Qingxuan nodded gently, his tone calm and without ripples: "That is correct. For the sake of Void Realm power, Karl recklessly used hundreds of millions of living beings as experimental consumables, which is the genuine Evil Path. That is why this Daoist liquidated him."

"Although Morgana's philosophy contradicts orthodox justice and she acts according to her own whims, she does not actively slaughter Mortal civilizations, and her boundaries are drawn clearly. Categorizing her as the Demonic Path presents no problem."

Ye Qingxuan added a sentence in his heart: (As long as it is not the Yanhuang Bloodline, they are not considered Mortals; they are merely alien races, so let her be.)

Upon hearing this, Kesha fell silent for a long time. Her tensed shoulders slowly relaxed, and the knot that had weighed on her heart for thirty thousand years loosened by more than half.

The live streaming room barrage screen refreshed wildly.

[Goodness gracious, now they are completely distinguished! Karl is a scumbag evil Cultivator, and Liangbing at most counts as an extreme demon Cultivator.]

[Righteousness and evil are never divided by names; it depends on the bottom line of one's actions.]

A golden barrage floated over:

[The Dao is not the Dao, and the demon is not the demon; good and evil lie in the human heart. If that Liangbing is truly suited for our Heavenly Demon Palace, this Disciple, this sect Master acknowledges her!]

[It is Senior Li Qiye!]

[With dual recognition from Daoist Ye and the Heavenly Demon Palace Master, this is great! Saintess Yun Huan has gained a new Junior Sister.]

[Kesha can finally let go of her knot now, right? Thirty thousand years of confrontation were all driven by prejudice!]

[Daoist Ye sees things far too transparently; anyone else would have directly exterminated the Demon Civilization long ago.]

Hexi lightly tapped her fingertips, rapidly deducing the angels' past and what Liangbing had done in her mind, thoroughly sorting out the differences. She turned her head to look at Kesha and said in a low voice:

"Did you hear that? For so many years, we have both been trapped by inherent perceptions, condemning Liangbing to death based merely on the two words 'Demon'. It is too one-sided."

The group of little angels at the side looked at each other in dismay. The concepts instilled in them for a long time collapsed and shook, and their gazes looking at Ye Qingxuan were filled with awe.

Ye Qingxuan: "Morgana's Ultimate Fear theory will cause panic. As a king, your actions are beyond reproach, but as sisters, it was far too arbitrary."

Xiujing stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "The Ancestral Master lays bare the ultimate truth in a single sentence. For people of our generation who Cultivate, the most taboo thing is to jump to conclusions!"

The rest of the Sect Heads chimed in one after another, and the wave of flattery made Ye Qingxuan too lazy to respond.

Bai Yuekui slowly walked over holding the stewed fish soup. Xiaojiu circled around Bai Yuekui continuously, meowing wildly, completely unconcerned with everyone's conversation.

Ye Qingxuan reached out and stroked Xiaojiu who had leaned in, then raised his eyes to look at Kesha: "As for whether she accepts the Demonic Path Legacy, it depends entirely on herself."

"However, although your current strength has improved quite a bit, once she accepts the Demonic Path Legacy, I'm afraid she will surpass you very soon. Handle it however you see fit when that time comes."

Kesha raised her head, the gloom hidden in the depths of her eyes for thirty thousand years dissipating significantly. She solemnly bowed to Ye Qingxuan: "Thank you, Daoist, for resolving my doubts."

Ye Qingxuan withdrew his gaze, his tone calm: "If you wish to go to the Enlightenment Monument to comprehend, then go. My Daoist sect's methods encompass all things; whatever you can comprehend is an Opportunity, and this Daoist will not stop you."

"Xiujing, take them there."

Xiujing hurriedly accepted the order and bowed: "Understood! Ancestral Master, Ancestral Grandmother, Lady Sanhua, this Disciple takes his leave!"

"Ancestral Master, this Disciple also takes his leave!" The rest of the Sect Heads also followed closely behind Xiujing and bowed.

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand, signaling them to hurry and leave. He finally understood what kind of mood his Master used to have.

Hearing this, all the angels bowed in salute, filled with awe, and turned around one after another, following Xiujing as they flew toward the Enlightenment Stone Monument at the foot of the mountain.
