Chapter 330: Chapter 166: Secrets of Tianxie (Part 1)_3
This made Chu Xuan feel a bit awkward, so he continued to ask, "Did your master ever mention the Celestial Evil to you? How did she describe this person?"
Chen Yunqi had a thoughtful look, "In fact, she didn’t say much. I was curious and asked her, is Celestial Evil really as bad as the rumors say?"
"Master said he was a lecher, and a domineering lord too."
"If he doesn’t like someone, he kills them; if he likes someone, he takes them by force. Everything goes according to his own desires, and no one can stop him."
"This way of living is indeed bold and arrogant, but it also made a lot of enemies, so his death was almost inevitable."
Chu Xuan raised his right hand to look at it, had he once lived so recklessly too?
Is it that now he bears heavy chains, losing his true self?
But after a moment’s hesitation, Chu Xuan shook his head.
There’s nothing worth comparing, if Celestial Evil’s way of life was so good, he wouldn’t have died so miserably back then, nor would his reputation in the cultivation world be so polarized.
"Can you tell me about the specific experiences between your master and Celestial Evil? How they met, for example."
Chen Yunqi shook her head, "I don’t know much, master never really talked about it."
"All I know is that Celestial Evil Demon Venerable came to us on his own back then, and my master was so nervous, fearing that this murderous star would wipe out our Hehuan Sect."
"Unexpectedly, after he defeated my master, he was actually very polite and seemed quite interested in our sect’s origins."
"As for how the two of them ended up getting along, master never mentioned it, only that he treated our sect very well; the completion of the ’Celestial Immortal Soul-Devouring Technique’ and his guidance on cultivation, along with other favors."
"Oh right," Chen Yunqi seemed to remember something amusing.
"Celestial Evil Demon Venerable once made a ridiculous suggestion to our sect, and my master found it funny when she mentioned it."
"The original words were: Can’t you stop with all the NTR stuff, and have more pure love instead?"
Chu Xuan’s face froze momentarily, especially upon hearing Chen Yunqi articulate the term NTR.
Thinking he did not understand, Chen Yunqi explained its meaning, and then said:
"Celestial Evil suggested that we could produce some ’pure-hearted girls who look promiscuous but are actually virgins.’
"And then let such girls fall in love with strong cultivators, and eventually bring them into the sect to be Guardians, wouldn’t that strengthen our power over time?"
"After all, how many powerful men could tolerate their dual cultivation Dao Companion messing around with others everywhere?"
"If you pursue pure love, it’s different, they might think, even the lady from the Hehuan Sect is willing to keep herself pure for him, I must protect her even at the risk of my life."
Chu Xuan nearly saw black spots, this indeed sounded like something he would say, and with Chen Yunqi’s detailed description, vague images began to form in his mind:
He himself leaning against a bed, holding a beautiful woman in his arms, rambling on about something.
The woman thought he was joking, listening with a slight smile without taking it seriously...
Chu Xuan’s mood suddenly sank a little, a sense of inexplicable melancholy.
"What happened next?"
"Later, when it was clear that Celestial Evil really wanted to do this, my master grudgingly conducted some experiments."
"To this day, as the sect’s lineage passes into my hands, those experiments have been somewhat preserved."
"This is why there are strange rumors outside, saying that there are a few female cultivators in our sect who are completely devoted to their Dao Companions."
As Chu Xuan recalled, indeed there existed such a thing, but it is generally believed outside that such statements are unreliable, purely tales spun by those demonesses to flatter themselves.
"Aren’t I one too?" suddenly, Chen Yunqi turned to look at Chu Xuan, with eyes soft and bright.
"As long as Mr. Chu is willing to dual cultivate with me, I can keep myself pure for you, and be devoted to you for life."
Chu Xuan avoided her gaze, shifting the subject, "Then why don’t you promote this more widely?"
Chen Yunqi shook her head, "Such practice is too idealistic, firstly it requires extremely high standards for our sect members, appearance, temperament, skills, none of these can be lacking, and they must be absolutely loyal to the sect."
"Then the requirements for the other half would be even higher, not only must he be strong enough, but also a passionate man, willing to be completely devoted to our sect member, even renouncing his own sect, how many men in the world could do that?"
Chu Xuan pondered, indeed, no matter how noble the initial purpose was, in practice it couldn’t be divorced from reality.
"Therefore, such a ’system’ can only be an exception for the few."
"Currently, our sect has attracted some such Honored Guests, mostly Loose Cultivators or from small to medium sects; and it is not only by capturing their hearts with female disciples, but also offering sufficient benefits to sustain this long-term."
Chu Xuan remained silent.
Actually, what Chen Yunqi left unsaid is, using such ’idealistic’ methods, they truly caught a ’big fish,’ but since this is one of Hehuan Sect’s trump cards, she could not easily disclose it to outsiders.
