Chapter 456: 456、【What is a Demon?】
“Did you reason with them?” Lu Xun twitched his mouth slightly at his teacher’s words.
The teacher, a lover of reasoning, was a scholar of aesthetics.
Lu Xun could fully imagine what would happen every time he tried to reason with someone.
It’s all about a pot of “reason”!
The implication in teacher’s words was, back then, he was the only one, who reasoned with the entire Cultivation World!
Given the current situation in the Cultivation World of the Heavenly Dust Continent, without a doubt, the teacher ultimately “convinced” the entire Cultivation World.
That means, these two ultimately changed the whole world!
From Lu Xun’s point of view, he definitely thought the teacher and the martial uncle were right.
Without them, there would be no thriving cultivation period today.
If the Heavenly Dust Continent itself is not strong enough, when a foreign invasion comes, everything will be tricky.
At the same time, Lu Xun is not naive; he knows how much resistance one encounters when pushing something new.
Traditional forces are rooted in chaos, and the world is not just black and white. In addition, a person’s thoughts and situation can influence their opinions and decisions.
In short, changing the world is not an easy task, and history has proven this countless times.
Moreover, what the teacher and martial uncle did, to a certain extent, was like reshuffling the entire Cultivation World!
Lu Xun looked at the teacher and asked curiously, “Teacher, was it hard when you tried to reason with them?”
“Of course it was hard!” The teacher recalled the past, and a rare hint of anger appeared on his face.
“I used to have a famous reputation in the Cultivating World, but I spent too much time revising that, when I came down the mountain, the youngsters below no longer recognized your martial uncle and me.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun smiled slightly, thinking to himself: “How long did this revision take anyway?”
The teacher continued, “I told them that I am their senior, but no one believed! At my age, could I deceive these kids?”
“And then… you reasoned with them?” Lu Xun echoed.
“Naturally, I had to have a talk with them.” The teacher did not deny.
As he recalled, he said, “Little Five, people’s ideas are not easy to change, so many times, it’s not enough just to reason once.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Xun was shocked, “Teacher, how many times did you pound the Cultivation World back then?”
Before long, the teacher gave the answer himself:
“Fortunately, I am a patient man, and I have plenty of time. It was just a matter of reasoning with the entire Cultivation World a few more times. It was not a troublesome matter.”
For a moment, Lu Xun didn’t know what to say.
The teacher smiled nonchalantly, “Now you should understand how the so-called [Demon] came about, right?”
Lu Xun looked at the teacher in his white robe trying hard to present himself as a scholar, how could he not understand?
Such people would naturally have been regarded as demons back then!
The biggest demon in the world!
And the power techniques related to the teacher would naturally be regarded as Demonic Arts!
At first, the teacher was probably the only one who practiced the path of [Qi Consumption], and after revision, that was the only path he could take.
As for the course of history, Lu Xun could guess one or two.
Back then, they were helpless about the so-called [Demon].
As time went on, slowly, everyone became accustomed to the [Demon], accepted the [Demon], and simply regarded them as another school.
When it came to this, the teacher seemed to have exhausted his willingness to talk.
He had no interest in continuing to talk about these matters.
But they are all old things, too far from now.
So far, apart from Elder Gui, the people of that era should have all passed away…
Although he was talking about his own past, it felt like he was narrating history.
For the speaker, it’s actually a very poignant and helpless thing.
