Chapter 570: This Is Feasible

"Wh... what?"

Liu Jingning and Er Gouzi were both startled.

Abandoning one's cultivation? This was no joke to make lightly; once cultivation was lost, even if she, Liu Jingning, could command the Extreme Music Sect, she absolutely could not protect Xu Que.

"Little one, what nonsense are you spouting? Don't act rashly!" Liu Jingning hurriedly said.

She knew Xu Que's capricious nature all too well; he acted on whim, and she truly feared he would do exactly as he said, leading to dire consequences.

"Say no more, I've already decided; I must abandon my cultivation and start cultivating anew!" Xu Que stated with utmost firmness.

He had already figured out the crux of the Great Gift Pack.

That Dao Body and the Transmission Technique were prepared for him in the first place; as long as he transferred all his cultivation to the Dao Body, he could return to a mortal flesh-and-blood state and cultivate again, no longer relying on killing to level up!

Moreover, with this approach, he wouldn't need to worry about being hunted down; as long as the Dao Body guarded his path, he had nothing to fear!

Most crucially, with his current wealth, having amassed tens of millions of Top-grade Spirit Stones, his cultivation speed would be like riding a rocket, soaring directly upward, absolutely faster than becoming an Immortal Formation Master!

"Little one, you're thinking too simply; aside from the fact that after abandoning your cultivation you'll face pursuit from major factions, how can you ensure that after abandoning your cultivation you can still cultivate again?" Liu Jingning shook her head, calmly trying to dissuade Xu Que.

"Don't worry; first, I can ensure they cannot kill me, and second, I can also ensure that after abandoning my cultivation, I can still cultivate!" Xu Que said with a smile, filled with immense confidence and joy, for after all, when willows darken and flowers brighten, another village appears!

"Others perhaps could, but you... it would likely be very difficult!" Liu Jingning's expression turned strange; she did believe Xu Que possessed some mysterious methods, but there was a very serious problem on Xu Que's person.

"What do you mean?" Xu Que asked.

"Your body carries extremely strong Evil Qi; even if you abandon your cultivation, this Evil Qi can be guided and reduced, but remnants will ultimately remain. Even if you comprehend Dao Rhymes after cultivating again, as soon as you kill one more person, your Evil Qi will destroy your comprehension of Dao Rhymes!"

Speaking to this point, Liu Jingning paused slightly, her expression becoming grave, and she said in a deep voice:

"Or perhaps you wish to enter the Demon Path, then prove your Dao through slaughter! But if so, I believe Jiang Hongyan will surely detest your actions; those who prove their Dao through slaughter ultimately lose their Seven Emotions and Six Desires, becoming true demons, executed by all!"

She spoke very seriously; even though their Extreme Music Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect were called Demon Sects, they were not this extreme, at most using slightly cruel methods, but they would never prove their Dao through slaughter to become a true demon who had lost all reason!

After hearing this, Xu Que was also stunned; no wonder Jiang Hongyan had constantly admonished him not to kill casually, otherwise the Evil Qi would swallow him whole!

Fortunately, he had never comprehended Dao Rhymes; otherwise, after his Dao Rhymes were devoured by Evil Qi, the Path of Slaughter might truly become his future Dao Rhymes, until it devoured his consciousness and turned him into a true demon.

"That was close!" Xu Que felt a chill of fear just thinking about it; he had nearly fallen into the Demon Path, killing anyone he saw, becoming the kind of person he despised most.

And he clearly understood how this hidden danger had arisen.

Back when Xiao Rou and all the villagers of Panshan Village were killed, he had nearly gone mad.

One must know that at that time, he had only just descended upon this world, full of longing for everything; when he met Xiao Rou, he saw the beautiful side of this world, thinking the Cultivation World was even more wonderful than Earth.

But not long after, when Xiao Rou and the villagers of Panshan Village were murdered, and countless corpses lay before him, all the beauty he had built in his heart collapsed in an instant.

At that moment, he deeply realized that this world was not beautiful; this Cultivation World was a man-eating world, even more cruel than Earth!

Xiao Rou's death had destroyed the last tiny concession and beautiful fantasy he held as an Earthling in his heart!

So at that moment, he even spat out blood from his heart meridians.

On one hand, his realm was too low, and fury attacked his heart; on the other, his beautiful fantasies were shattered, shocking him at why those people's methods were so vicious!

Therefore, he killed his way back, slaughtering the entire Yin Ghost Sect, then went up to the Heavenly Martial Sect and destroyed more than half the sect.

Afterward, it became a habit: whoever provoked him, he would vent his rage upon their entire sect; wasn't this precisely the style of a demon?

Fortunately, the system gave him the ability to level up by killing but did not give him Dao Rhymes, which was why he hadn't become a demon!

"After I abandon my cultivation, before stepping into the Void Refining Stage, I will never again kill with my own hands!" Xu Que said seriously.

Liu Jingning was instantly speechless: "If you don't kill, what will you do when others try to kill you? But once you kill your way back, the Evil Qi will grind away your Dao Rhymes; abandoning your cultivation simply won't work!"

"No, this will work!" Xu Que curled the corner of his mouth, holding a hint of a smile, and said: "What I just said was that I will never again kill with my own hands! Circle the words 'own hands'; that's the key point!"

"You want me to guard your Dao for you?" Liu Jingning said in astonishment.

"Of course not; are you kidding? I, a dignified member of the Exploding Heaven Gang, how could I possibly hide behind a woman begging for protection? I have face to maintain, you know!" Xu Que glared and said.

But in reality, he also didn't wish to drag Liu Jingning into this, otherwise it would implicate her Extreme Music Sect.

"Then what do you plan to do? Aside from Jiang Hongyan, I can't think of anyone else willing to guard your Dao!" Liu Jingning asked puzzledly.

Xu Que smiled once more: "My Exploding Heaven Gang has plenty of people! Alright, let's part ways here for now; I'm not going to the Southern Continent, I'm going to cultivate! Goodbye!"

"Ah?" Liu Jingning was instantly stunned.

Immediately after, she saw Xu Que form a hand seal with a Talisman and directly ignite it.

"Wait, don't act rashly, where are you going..." Liu Jingning's expression changed at once.

"Goodbye, little sister!" Xu Que laughed heartily, grabbed Er Gouzi, and his figure already blurred!

"You..."

Liu Jingning wanted to say more, but with a whoosh, Xu Que and Er Gouzi had already vanished without a trace!

She stood stunned, never expecting Xu Que to be so decisive, leaving the moment he said he would, directly intending to abandon his cultivation and start cultivating anew!

"This bastard!" Liu Jingning angrily stamped her small foot, inexplicably feeling very angry, and turned to leave directly.

"Little bastard, heartless! Leaving the moment you say so, you don't want me to interfere, huh? Hmph, fine then; if you die out there, I absolutely won't care!"

Several days later, the entire Eastern Wasteland was shocked!

News of the Bronze Ancient Hall spread, and many people rushed there, only to find no one could enter it.

Finally, the Integration Stage Ancestors of several major factions were alarmed and personally set out, believing it might be their opportunity to break through their bottlenecks!

However, those Ancestors ultimately gained nothing; even later, the Heavenly Mechanism Old Man arrived, took a few looks, then shook his head, sighed, and departed.

The entire Ancient Hall just hung there in the sky; countless people came, then departed one after another with regret!

Of course, besides the Bronze Ancient Hall shocking the Eastern Wasteland, Xu Que also became famous.

Almost everyone knew that to help Jiang Hongyan undergo her Tribulation, he had actually confronted the Ancient Calamity head-on, ultimately trapping and killing thousands of Cultivators, and heavily injuring countless young masters, Holy Maidens, and experts from major factions.

Even more astonishingly, he had also swindled the major factions, single-handedly making off with twenty million Top-grade Spirit Stones, and on top of that, had a dog kick and break Dong Genji's Genji!

Of course, afterward Dong Genji also received Precious Medicine, entered closed-door cultivation to heal for several months, and that place had already recovered, but this incident had become a laughingstock; aside from sending people everywhere to hunt down Xu Que, he mostly stayed within Xiaoyao Tower and rarely went out!

Many people were marveling and inquiring about Xu Que everywhere, yet throughout the entire Eastern Wasteland, and even across the Southern Continent, Western Desert, and Northern Sea, no one had seen any trace of him!

This person seemed to have vanished suddenly, without leaving the slightest clue behind!
