[At 8 years old, Ye Yu did not run around like the other children in the mountain village.]

[Instead, he often watched the scenery outside.]

[This mountain village had been isolated from the world for many years.]

[Everyone was an ordinary person.]

[There were no cultivation techniques.]

[This made Ye Yu’s life simple and monotonous.]

[Where was the destined leader of the demonic path, born under special destiny?]

[Destined to his grandma’s place?]

[Demon King feeling down.]

[At 11 years old, two fairies arrived on flying swords.]

[One was slightly plump, and the other was exceptionally beautiful.]

[Their arrival caused quite a stir in the mountain village.]

[After all, no outsiders had come to this remote place for many years.]

[For a moment, most of the villagers looked terrified.]

[These two fairies visited each household, not speaking, just glancing around.]

[After visiting the whole village, they shook their heads in disappointment.]

[At this time, Ye Yu was lying on a tree trunk at the village entrance, watching the scenery.]

[He hadn’t noticed anyone approaching.]

[The two fairies slowly walked to the village entrance, whispering to each other.]

[They suddenly saw Ye Yu on the tree trunk.]

[The beautiful fairy couldn’t help but praise, What a spiritual child.]

[She asked Ye Yu, Sister has a spirit fruit here. It’s not only very sweet but can also prolong life. If you answer one question for me, I’ll give it to you, okay?]

[Ye Yu propped his face with one hand, showing a disdainful expression.]

[To be honest, you’re not as considerate as Ruan Lianyue.]

[When Ruan Lianyue gave spirit fruits before, she never asked for anything. And you still want me to answer a question?]

[Are you playing a guessing game with me?]

[Besides, even if this spirit fruit was given for free, Ye Yu would never take it.]

[Are you kidding? Fall for the same trap twice?]

[In your dreams!]

[Ye Yu’s refusal shocked the two fairies.]

[A child of about ten years old could resist the temptation of a spirit fruit.]

[Why was that?]

[The exceptionally beautiful fairy took a step forward and asked again, Why don’t you want the spirit fruit?]

[Ye Yu covered his mouth with one hand and waved the other.]

[Seeing this, the two fairies instinctively thought Ye Yu was mute.]

[Their eyes instantly softened.]

[They immediately took out many spirit fruits from their storage rings and placed them in front of Ye Yu.]

[It was wrong of us, we shouldn’t have made you answer questions. These spiritual fruits are gifts from us sisters.]

[The two fairies left, feeling very guilty.]

[Leaving Ye Yu sitting on the tree trunk, bewildered.]

[Making a gesture of not wanting to talk had such a strong effect?]

[Oh well, these spirit fruits shouldn’t go to waste.]

[Bringing them back for the family to eat would be good too.]

[Thinking this, Ye Yu climbed down from the tree and carried the spirit fruits back to the village.]

[Actually, upon seeing those two women, Ye Yu did have the thought of apprenticing under them.]

[But he quickly gave up on that idea.]

[Since he had decided to harden his heart and shut out love, he should do it thoroughly.]

[At least In the early stages, he absolutely wouldn’t let any woman get close to him.]

[Of course, in the mid to late stages, it wouldn’t matter as much.]

[Casual relationships without emotional involvement could occasionally be allowed.]

[At 13, a skinny, skeleton-like, ragged Taoist in a black robe arrived in the village.]

[His face was sinister, almost as if the word “villain” was written on his forehead.]

[After entering the village, he stared intensely at Ye Yu for a long time.]

[The villagers, seeing he didn’t look like a good person, wanted to intervene.]

[But the Taoist waved his hand, freezing them in place.]

[Ye Yu remained calm.]

[This Taoist was obviously a cultivator.]

[If he truly intended to do something, even if the whole village joined forces, they couldn’t change a thing.]

[Rather than being afraid, it was better to face it calmly.]

[After that, the Taoist suddenly laughed maniacally, and then he grabbed Ye Yu and flew into the sky.]

[In the sky, the Taoist told Ye Yu his name was Wuxinzi.]

[He was a renowned cultivator in the demonic path.]

[The reason he took Ye Yu away was because of a prophecy.]

[A thousand years ago, the head of the Celestial Secrets Sect had predicted—]

[On the day of extreme yin, celestial phenomena would occur, and the lord of the demonic path would be born.]

[If someone else had said this, it might not be believed.]

[But coming from the head of the Celestial Secrets Sect, it was hard not to believe!]

[In the past thousand years, the first day of extreme yin was thirteen years ago.]

[At that time, cultivators from both righteous and demonic paths were searching for the lord of the demonic path.]

[However, someone deliberately obscured the heavenly secrets, causing everyone to return empty-handed.]

[In the following years, people from both the righteous and demonic paths never gave up searching for the lord of the demonic path.]

[The righteous path intended to eliminate him as soon as possible.]

[They absolutely couldn’t allow him to grow.]

[The demonic path wanted to protect him, hoping he could become a leader who would revitalize the demonic cultivators.]

[Everyone had their own agenda.]

[Wuxinzi never expected to find someone with such astonishing talent like Ye Yu in this small mountain village.]

[Ye Yu, he might be the legendary lord of the demonic path.]

[And all Wuxinzi wanted was a title.]

[He said that as long as Ye Yu apprenticed under him, he would be willing to teach him everything he knew and help Ye Yu reach the top.]

[Seeing Wuxinzi’s fanatical expression, Ye Yu really wanted to tell him, yes, I am indeed the lord of the demonic path you speak of.]

[But to avoid being too shocking, Ye Yu tried to appear bewildered.]

[After a long journey, Wuxinzi brought Ye Yu to a huge Taoist temple.]

[Here, Ye Yu saw over a dozen peers.]

[All were boys and girls around his age, their expressions extremely cold.]

[They completely lacked the liveliness of youth.]

[Wuxinzi introduced them to Ye Yu as his senior brothers and sisters.]

[After listening, Ye Yu remained silent.]

[That day, after arranging a place for Ye Yu to stay, Wuxinzi handed him a manual titled “Nine Nether Body Refinement Technique.”]

[He told Ye Yu to practice diligently.]

[If there was anything he didn’t understand, he could ask his senior brothers and sisters.]

[In two months, Wuxinzi would personally check his progress.]

[If Ye Yu could fully grasp the manual, Wuxinzi would give him a mysterious reward.]

[After painting this grand picture, Wuxinzi turned and left.]

[Ye Yu sat alone in the room, flipping through the manual.]

[He felt that something was a bit off.]
