Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1095 - 665: Accepting Surrender_2

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu Die quickly performed a formal bow: "My Devil Race is willing to submit to the Taoist Master's governance, serving with allegiance unto death!"

...

...

...

As these words were spoken, the entire place fell into dead silence, especially the individuals from the Demon Race, who were gnashing their teeth in hatred.

This witch has no shame!

She doesn't surrender early nor late, but chooses to do so at this particular moment, in front of all under heaven and in broad daylight!

What does this mean?

Using my Demon Race as your stepping stone, is that it?

My Demon Race is obstinate and stubborn, while yours is perspicaciously virtuous?

Some things are not terrifying, except when compared to others.

With this move, the witch has made our Demon Race the negative example, while she becomes the positive model, earning favorable treatment from joining the Scholar's Palace, without the predicaments and awkwardness that beset our Demon Race.

Even...

"Not to conceal from the two Immortal Children, my Devil Race has long suffered in the Barbaric Wastes!"

Nangong Yu Die's voice choked with emotion: "In Ancient Times, there was no distinction between Human Clan, Demon Race, and Devil Race in the world; our Devil Race was not born as Demon Heads, but it is due to differences in spiritual practice that lead to the division between demons and devils."

"It's merely because my Devil Race cultivates through the Slaughter Dao, and practices sidetracks such as the arts of Six Desires and Seven Emotions, that we were shunned by the Righteous Path and thus labeled with the character 'demon', and after the great war of Ancient Times, we were exiled to the Barbaric Wastelands, hence evolving into today's Devil Race."

"In truth, my Devil Race includes both people and demons, classified as 'devils' by the Immortal Gates of the Northern Territory based on the different Dao, causing us untold grievances."

"Although my Devil Race treads the Path of Slaughter and employs the methods of harvesting through Seven Emotions and Six Desires, this is after all a part of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, so why, when my race cultivates, are we labeled disaster-bringing Demon Heads, yet when the Celestial Gate Holy Land cultivates, they are deemed protector gods and Buddha, Demon Extermination Sword Immortals, bearers of the Yin Yang Dao, and practioners of the wondrous principles of Dual Cultivation?"

"This truly is unfair, and has driven my race towards extreme actions, ultimately committing unwarranted killings..."

With tearful speech, Nangong Yu Die revealed a part of the ancient secrets.

"Demon Head!"

"How dare you!"

Yet these revelations of the ancient secrets were met with shock and anger from the onlookers.

What does this mean?

What does this mean!

If you surrender, then surrender; what's the point in mentioning these past events?

Isn't this just rubbing salt in people's wounds?

Many from the ranks of Cultivators, Calamity Immortals from Holy Lands, were both shocked and angry, yet they were powerless to react.

Just as Nangong Yu Die stated, the concept of 'Devil Race' was inherently ambiguous because, unlike humans and demons that have clear lineage boundaries, they were distinguished based on Dao; those who have a lust for killing are 'devils', greedy ones are 'devils', and those who bring chaos to the world and misery to lives are 'devils'.

At least that is the case in the Northern Cultivation Realm; the so-called 'Devil Race' is really just humans, demons, and various beings that follow the Demon Path.

This raised a question.

What is the Demon Path?

Is the Path of Slaughter the Demon Path?

Do the Immortal Sects of the Holy Lands not have methods of slaughter?

Yin and Yang, life and death, these are the natural principles of heaven and earth; just because someone cultivates the Path of Destruction or the Slaughter Dao, do you brand them as Demon Heads?

Then what about those Thunder Series and Swordsmanship, various Combat Skills of the Immortal Sects? Are they not destructive and murderous practices?

Indeed, the Devil Race of the Barbaric Wastes are extreme, and there are certainly many calamitous Demon Heads; but there are also many innocents forced to be labeled the 'Devil Race', similar to the left-hand paths of the Southern Sea.

Looking at the bigger picture, it is all about interests!

By seizing this point, Nangong Yu Die aims not only to cleanse her own reputation but also to sully that of the Celestial Gate Holy Lands, earning sympathy and demonstrating loyalty - killing two birds with one stone.

But her gain is disregarding the feelings of others?

The Immortal Sects of the Central Plains of the Northern Territory had already been struggling, with the Wandao School suppressing their living and developmental space over the years, and now this witch decides to kick them when they're down?

If only they knew, they would have extinguished her!

The people of the Immortal Gate harbor dark resentments yet are helpless.

Above the Five-colored Auspicious Cloud, Gui Sanqian and Shui Lingling exchanged glances before finally speaking.

"Be you demon or devil, now that you have joined our Scholar's Palace, all past deeds shall not be held against you."

"However, there is one thing you must understand; our Scholar's Palace is founded upon law, and the laws are as inviolable as the Thunder Pond."

"Hereafter, under the jurisdiction of our Scholar's Palace, whether it be Human Clan or Demon Race, or any of the other races' beings, all must act in accordance with the law, and those who violate it shall be rightfully punished, without prejudice towards race or bloodline!"

"In the Northern Cultivation Realm, the Central Plains, from this moment, there will be exchanges of strengths and weaknesses, and the people of the Four Wilds Frontier may enter the territory of the Central Plains, and vice versa; the Scholar's Palace will treat all equally, upholding justice and integrity!"

...

...

...

At these words, the surroundings fell silent once more.

Only Nangong Yu Die showed a look of joy: "With the Immortal Children's words, Yu Die is at ease. I will return to the Ten Thousand Demon Hall and await the Scholar's Palace's takeover."
