I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2296 - 2295: Blood Ganoderma, the Secret Revealed

"With a treasure like this in existence, no matter who it is, how could they not be tempted?"

Xu Zii said calmly.

"A treasure? What kind of treasure?" Liu Ruyan couldn't help asking.

She couldn't understand what kind of treasure could turn such a grand Sect Gate into what lay before her eyes now.

"A person," Xu Zii said.

"Rather than calling it a person, it's more accurate to call it a calamity."

"You know it: the world is vast, and there is nothing it doesn't contain."

"A person?" Liu Ruyan was stunned for a mont.

Then she suddenly ca back to herself.

She looked at that strange person standing to the side.

This strange person, without Xu Zii's command, just stood there woodenly.

Yet Liu Ruyan inexplicably felt that this strange person was very likely the "treasure" Xu Zii spoke of.

"You've figured it out?" Xu Zii felt there was nothing much to hide.

He said directly, "From a certain perspective, this treasure isn't a person at all, but a Blood Ganoderma Born from Heaven and Raised by Earth."

"There's such a Ganoderma in this world?" Liu Ruyan felt an inexplicable difficulty accepting this.

A Ganoderma whose primary form was human.

"The world is vast, and there is nothing it doesn't contain," Xu Zii said with a faint smile.

"Of course, a Ganoderma is originally without attribute."

"But because the people of the Bliss Sect poured too much blood and Soul into it, in the end the Ganoderma turned into Demons."

"A Demon that destroys everything."

"Demons?" Liu Ruyan looked at the strange person in front of her and couldn't help retreating a few steps.

She wouldn't doubt what Xu Zii said.

After all, Xu Zii had no reason to lie to her.

Moreover, everything in this Demon City already looked extrely bizarre.

The very existence of such a place in the world was an extre in itself.

"The Demon destroyed everything. The entire Bliss Sect was wiped out in an instant," Xu Zii said calmly.

"But the people of the Bliss Sect still had a shred of conscience."

"They used their final ans to completely Sealing the Demon away."

"And in the end, aside from the fifteenth-generation Sect Master of the Bliss Sect, everyone else died."

"All… all died." Liu Ruyan drew in a sharp breath.

"Just a single Demon was enough to make such a vast, peak power vanish like smoke. Then how strong must this Demon be?"

"Its strength? It can be infinitely strong," Xu Zii said with a smile.

"The greater the desire in people's hearts, the stronger the Demon becos."

"If the Demon is that strong, how could it have been Sealing?" Liu Ruyan asked in puzzlent.

"Because in the end, everyone was dead, and the Bliss Sect's Sect Master no longer had any desire.

"The Demon's strength was naturally weakened without limit."

Xu Zii said.

"After that, the Bliss Sect's Sect Master used the scene of a mirage to Sealing the Demon."

"This 'Sect Master of the Bliss Sect' you speak of—who exactly is he?" Liu Ruyan asked.

"Everything in this Demon City is illusory, so who here is actually real?"

"The Sect Master. Haven't you always wanted to find him?" Xu Zii said with a smile.

"Lu… Lu Simiao?" Liu Ruyan replied, sowhat in disbelief.

"That dicine King."

"You should have thought of it long ago," Xu Zii said.

"What are the requirents the dicine King sets for those seeking dicine?"

"Each person must do Three good deeds."

"That's redemption. Understand?"

"Back then, if he hadn't stubbornly insisted and been too greedy, the Bliss Sect would never have been destroyed."

"He wants to use his entire life to repay the sins he committed."

"But so things are already completely different from what they were. So-called atonent is nothing more than seeking a bit of psychological comfort."

At this point, Liu Ruyan no longer knew what to say.

She was just soone seeking dicine.

Yet she had unintentionally brushed up against such a great secret.

For a mont, she had no idea what would be appropriate to say.

"And you? What exactly are you, to know so much?"

"To you, I'm just a passerby," Xu Zii said calmly.

"A passerby you'll never see again, that's all."

"Since you know how terrifying the Demon is, why… why would you still release it?"

Liu Ruyan looked at the strange person, then at Xu Zii, and asked.

Back then, Lu Simiao split the Demon into Three parts.

The Blood River Valley Master held its form, the Corpse Burial Mound Master its flesh, and the Doomsday Temple Master its Soul.

After dividing it into Three, the hope was that the Demon would never appear again.

But now Xu Zii was gathering the Three parts, intending to let the Demon be reborn into the world.

As for Liu Ruyan's words, Xu Zii wasn't in a hurry to answer.

He first let his gaze fall upon the statue directly in front of them—Sikong Xingyun's statue.

As the Ancestor of the Bliss Sect, the very existence that founded it.

Sikong Xingyun was without doubt a great man.

The desire-based cultivation thod he proposed was also the key factor that allowed the Bliss Sect to develop.

But no matter how great Sikong Xingyun was, in the end he still died.

On the Divine Continent, there is no such thing as an immortal person.

It's difficult even to seek long life.

Although Xu Zii granted the beings of the Divine Continent great authority.

There were even those who wished to leave the Divine Continent; so long as their strength was sufficient and they were willing to pay a certain price, he would not obstruct them.

But this thing called immortality—this is like a taboo.

This one point cannot be broken.

Even though he himself desired immortality, desired to use endless ti to explore the mysteries of the Cosmic.

Yet when this matter fell upon others, he could not allow it.

What is the only fair thing in this world?

It is that the dead cannot return to life.

If immortality existed, then all rules within the Divine Land would be thrown into chaos.

...…

At this mont, Xu Zii took out the Buddha Beads he had obtained from the treasure chest earlier.

The old monk's expression had been very indifferent.

But when he saw the Buddha Beads, his body couldn't help trembling slightly.

He wouldn't obstruct Xu Zii from entering the Doomsday Temple, nor would he stop the other from obtaining the Soul.

Because the Soul was not sothing just anyone could obtain.

But this string of Buddha Beads was different.

It was an item that Sikong Xingyun had carried with him.

It was the most intact ancestral relic preserved after the Bliss Sect's Destruction.

Xu Zii placed the Buddha Beads before Sikong Xingyun's statue.

He said calmly, "The day the Buddha Beads appear in this world is the mont the taboo is broken."

"Crack, crack."

They watched as fissures began to appear on Sikong Xingyun's statue.

The strange man's Soul had been Sealing within the statue.

And the only key to opening the Sealing was this string of Buddha Beads.

In fact, Xu Zii could have directly broken it by force—using his invincible strength to initiate a dinsionality reduction strike.

But he did not wish to reveal too much of his power on the Divine Continent.

Because he stands outside all of this; he is the creator.

He cannot beco too entangled with this world.

He is like a player of the ga of Go, silently watching the black and white stones on the board clash and slaughter each other.

He cannot enter the board himself.

Once he does, he will change from the one who plays the ga to a stone on the board.

...…

Watching the statue slowly crumble bit by bit, the Soul within could barely be suppressed any longer.

The old monk slowly closed his eyes.

He let out a sigh and once again made that Buddhist salutation.

"All things in this world rise from fate and fall back into fate. In the end, they must still be faced."

"You cannot escape."

"No one can escape."
