The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 206 - 178: Chu Huaixu: So I Am an Evil Cultivator

Chapter 206: Chapter 178: Chu Huaixu: So I Am an Evil Cultivator

In the main quest "Origin Spirit Realm," it clearly states that there’s a chance to obtain an item—Profound Yellow Origin Fragment.

This item is not listed in the quest rewards.

In addition to 500,000 experience points, you can also obtain 1 designated special attribute point and a Celestial Level "Mysterious Treasure Chest."

In "Borrowed Sword," the so-called "Mysterious Treasure Chest" is essentially a chest that can randomly grant a special item or reward.

The treasure chest levels are divided into Celestial, Earth, Profound, and Yellow levels.

"A Celestial Level Treasure Chest is bound to contain good stuff!"

He’s played "Borrowed Sword" for so long and never obtained one.

"I did get an Earth Level Treasure Chest once, which gave me an ’Earth Level Technique Upgrade Coupon,’ and I laughed the whole night."

After closing the task interface, Chu Huaixu heard a voice transmission.

"Chu Huaixu, come out for a moment."

The Sixth Elder, Li Chunsong, was waiting in the courtyard.

He opened the door and greeted, "Sixth Elder."

The gambling addict now greeted him with a particularly kind attitude each time he saw him.

Like Old Niu before, he started treating Chu Huaixu as a family member.

In a way, it was his mistake that changed Chu Huaixu’s fate, bringing him to the Daoist Sect.

But as he used to lose every bet, was Chu Huaixu not also changing his fate against the heavens for him?

They have complemented each other...

"This time, I’ve come by the orders of the Sect Leader and the Junior Martial Uncle."

"They plan to have you accept some sect missions of demon slaying before entering the ’Origin Spirit Realm’ for some training," Li Chunsong said directly.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu was a bit taken aback.

Honestly, he didn’t exactly want to go.

He is only at the First Realm Great Perfection now, so most missions he can take are group tasks.

Fighting and killing generally involve low-tier evil cultivators.

This type of "wild monster" doesn’t grant much experience.

Moreover, these shadowy crawling beings are like rats, especially good at hiding and hard to find.

Killing them is quick, but finding them takes time and is quite a hassle.

With that time, he has many other ways to earn experience points.

For inner disciples, these sect missions are a good deal.

After all, they need to earn sect contribution points, and it’s also considered a kind of training.

Some evil cultivators do carry treasures, and after slaying them, one can consider it spoils of war, thus a way to make a living.

But with a medicine cauldron in hand, Chu Huaixu doesn’t need to worry about contribution points.

Once he deals with the "Origin Spirit Realm," he can advance to the Second Realm. By then, "Dao Generating One" might be able to refine Second Level Spirit Pills on its own, earning him even more!

Thus, he didn’t bother to hide his lack of enthusiasm in front of Li Chunsong.

The Daoist Sixth Elder saw his demeanor and laughed, scolding:

"I know, you’re probably thinking it’s a hassle and unnecessary to do this at this critical moment, right?"

"I can tell you, the Sect Leader has thought everything through for you, and there’s a deeper meaning to sending you to slay demons."

"Duels in the ring are different from life-and-death battles."

"Defeating an opponent is entirely different from killing one."

"Kid, have you ever killed anyone yet?"

Chu Huaixu hesitated momentarily upon hearing this, unsure of how to answer.

Following the principle of ’the fewer problems, the better,’ he thought it reasonable to say he never killed anyone and nodded.

But he quickly added, "So, in the ’Origin Spirit Realm,’ will there be killing?"

"You’re clever, realizing this so quickly," Li Chunsong said with satisfaction.

He continued, "The situation inside the ’Origin Spirit Realm’ will be revealed to you once you return from slaying demons."

"You must first see with your own eyes the form of evil cultivators, to understand the beings you might encounter next."

As Chu Huaixu processed this information, he became aware: "So, are these evil cultivators related to the ’Origin Spirit Realm’?"

Li Chunsong replied, "You’re quite perceptive. In a sense, there is indeed some connection."

"That place could be considered the root of the evil cultivators!"

"Understood, I will go to the Disciple Courtyard to choose a sect mission momentarily," Chu Huaixu said.

Li Chunsong nodded with satisfaction.

After chatting a few more words, he flew away.

Chu Huaixu stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.

"’Origin Spirit Realm,’ in a sense, is the root of the evil cultivators?" he thought.

"Why say that?" He was a bit puzzled. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

He was increasingly unsure of the nature of this mysterious place.

"There’s the Profound Yellow Origin Fragment there, related to the Nine Realms Dao, somewhat similar to the Power of the Heavenly Dao?"

"Besides, it’s also linked to the Heaven and Earth Catastrophe."

"And now, it involves evil cultivators too."

However, Chu Huaixu did not believe that the so-called Heaven and Earth Catastrophe referred to evil cultivators.

Because...

—They aren’t worthy!

The evil cultivators in the Profound Yellow Realm haven’t reached that stage.

"Perhaps it’s because there’s never been a Ninth Realm among them!"

Based on the information he had, the secret of the "Origin Spirit Realm" was always controlled by the Four Great Sects and the Moon Country Royal Family.

In other words, the "Profound Yellow Origin Fragments" seemed to be... monopolized by them?

"Unless other places can obtain these things as well."

"Otherwise, only the Four Great Sects and the Moon Country Royal Family can cultivate Ninth Realm powerhouses."

"This is terrifyingly significant!"

"It essentially means the strongest combat power is controlled by these few forces!"

"Other forces can never create any significant waves."

Chu Huaixu was well aware of how strong a Ninth Realm cultivator is.

Like the current Sword Venerable, who can cross realms to slay a Ninth Realm at the peak of the Eighth Realm, is quite rare.

And because of this, he was called comparable to the First Sword Venerable.

"As cultivation advances, the gap between small realms becomes very large."

"Unlike the First Realm, where the gap between small realms is quite small, the First Realm Great Perfection isn’t much stronger than the Eighth Heaven," Chu Huaixu thought.

As for evil cultivators, he’s actually killed quite a few of them while playing "Borrowed Sword."

The Four Great Sects see themselves as leaders of the righteous path, so demon-slaying is part of their duty.

And cultivators from Spring and Autumn Mountain are notoriously ’abnormal.’

Thus, they are quite proactive in demon-slaying.

For if they don’t slay demons, they look pretty demonic themselves...

Slaying more villains proves they’re just villain-like in appearance but truly righteous!

"One of the key characteristics of evil cultivators is... they grow stronger by killing!" Chu Huaixu recalled.

At this thought, he suddenly smiled.

Because....

"I’m the same," he thought.
