Peerless War God

It was precisely because of this that he had the qualifications to come into contact with the secrets of the God Domain, the Nine Great Powers.    

"Sir, please teach me what the nine great forces are," Chen Xiao asked with a hint of guidance.    

The Duke of Purple Gold laughed lightly, nodded his head, and said: "The Nine Great Forces each occupy a region in the God Domain. In the future, you will also come into contact with them. Knowing more is naturally a good thing.    

The Jade Frost Palace in the far north of the Domain of the Gods, the Zen Sect in the west, the Demon God Hall and the Divine Sword Sect in the east, the Sky Fire Dao in the south, and the three great Immortal Sects in the center of the Domain of the Gods: the Immortal Weapon Sect, the Spirit Beast Sect, and the Profound Core Sect."    

As the Duke of Purple Gold spoke, Chen Xiao silently remembered these names in his heart.    

Suddenly, the expression on his face froze. He was curious and asked, "Why are there only eight forces? Aren't there nine forces?"    

Chen Xiao carefully muttered in his heart. After confirming that there were only eight forces and that he did not count wrongly, he looked at the Marquis of Purple Gold with a puzzled expression.    

The Duke of Zi Jin's face was as dark as water as he replied, "Yes, because these eight factions are all righteous factions, and the ninth faction is called the Heavenly Demon Cult. It is the number one evil faction in the God Realm, and its power is enormous. It has been hidden very deeply and has far-reaching influence."    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Heavenly Demon Cult?    

This was not the first time he had heard of these three words. He just did not expect them to have such a shocking origin. They were one of the nine super forces of the God Domain.    

No wonder he could faintly see the shadow of the Heavenly Demon Cult in the past.    

At this moment, Chen Xiao was shocked. He thought of something and asked, "Lord Zi Hou, could it be that there are also Boundless Realm experts in the Heavenly Demon Cult?"    

"Yes." The Marquis Zi Jin smiled bitterly and nodded his head.    

"How could this be?" Chen Xiao's face was filled with anger and injustice, and he was extremely depressed.    

Why? As the saying goes, evil cannot suppress good. However, he did not expect that this evil sect could also have such a terrifying existence like the Boundless Realm. Truly...    

He couldn't say anything at the moment. He just felt his chest was tight and uncomfortable.    

The Duke of Zi Jin also saw it and comforted him with a smile, "Chen Xiao, don't think too much about it. Sometimes, who knows what's good and what's evil?"    

Chen Xiao opened his eyes and asked with a puzzled expression, "Lord Zi Hou, what does this mean?"    

The Purple Gold Marquis shook his head. His gaze pierced through the endless starry sky and floated into the distance. He spoke indifferently, "If we were on the side of the righteous path of the human race, maintaining order, maintaining the balance, punishing evil and promoting good, that would be the law of the heavens. However, if we were on the side of the living beings of the Ten Thousand Ancient Races, it would make sense for us to stop at nothing in order to survive. However, our methods are a bit too extreme. This is how the Heavenly Demon Cult works. Sigh..."    

Zi Jin sighed, but he stopped here.    

However, Chen Xiao had already understood the meaning behind his words, and his heart immediately shook.    

It seemed to make sense.    

The path of cultivation had always been a path that broke the peace of the heavens. It was a path that defied the will of the heavens. To those who came before them, they had already taken the initiative. This was extremely unfair to those who came after them.    

When there was unfairness, there would be resistance. Evil sects were born.    

That was why, after all these years, the great sects had been killing the evil sects, both in the open and in the dark, but they never stopped. It was impossible to tell the cause and effect in a short time.    

Besides, the eight great sects were pure and clean. There was no problem at all!    

Chen Xiao naturally did not believe this. Those forces that appeared to be virtuous and righteous on the surface, but were actually doing dirty things and dirty tricks behind his back, he had seen many of them and was not surprised at all.    

Even the eight great forces would not be exempt from this. After all, they were still humans.    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao understood in his heart, but he was still a little worried. He asked again, "Marquis Zi, how strong is the Heavenly Demon Cult?"    

The Marquis Zi Jin had a serious expression as he said, "They are very strong, not weaker than the eight great forces. In a sense, they even surpass the eight great forces."    

"Why is that?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.    

"Because the Heavenly Demon Cult is in the dark, while the other eight forces are in the light," the Duke of Purple Gold said in a deep voice.    

Chen Xiao understood that it was indeed the case.    

No matter what the eight great forces were like inside, they had to at least maintain their appearances and justice. Some things would naturally be avoided, and they couldn't do it, so as to avoid attracting the attention of others.    

In fact, the righteous sects were better than them.    

Speaking up to this point, Chen Xiao thought of another question, and said: "Zi Hou, since these nine great forces have great reputations and shocking power, and can be called the rulers of the Domain of the Gods, why is it that when they walk in the Domain of the Gods, they are not famous, and there are not many people talking about them?"    

The Marquis Zi Jin glanced at him and said, "Because you were too weak before."    

... "" Chen Xiao's face darkened with embarrassment, "That's the reason?"    

"Yes, the Nine Great Factions are the true pillars of the God Realm. If an ordinary cultivator doesn't live for a long time, they won't be able to catch the eye of the Nine Great Factions. Therefore, some things about the Nine Great Factions are not widely spread in the God Realm. It's not that they don't want to, but that they don't need to. The actions and fights of low level cultivators can't really reach the attention of the Nine Great Factions." The Duke of Purple Gold replied.    

"So that's how it is. Only those at the Immortal Life Realm can enter his eyes. This... this threshold is way too high."    

Chen Xiao laughed bitterly. For a moment, he was speechless and did not know how to comment.    

This was like comparing low-level cultivators to a group of ants. These nine great forces were the true giants of the world. They were like ants trying to shake a tree. They simply did not know their own limits.    

Yes, that must be it.    

Now that he finally got the Soul Seizing Sword, he was in the nine forces' eyes. He was qualified to see the world.    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao sighed heavily, "In the end, I am just a fish in a pond, a bird in the forest."    

"What? You seem to be a little depressed. Do you think that the Nine Great Forces are high above and don't treat low-level cultivators as humans? Is that what you think?"    

The Duke of Purple Gold went straight to the point.    

Chen Xiao nodded his head and did not hide anything. Instead, he asked, "Sir, isn't that the case? It was just like how a few forces treated low-level cultivators as fish in a pond. They were too inhumane. "    

The Duke of Zi Jin was stunned for a while and then laughed. He said, "What you said does make sense. However, have you ever thought that the more you know, the more it might not be a good thing?"    

"What does that mean?" Chen Xiao frowned.    

The Marquis's eyes were calm as he said, "What would you do if you were a low-level cultivator with a lifespan of less than a hundred years, and could only see the area in front of you and know that there isn't much difference between you and a slightly stronger cultivator?"    

"This is just cultivating with all your might to become stronger."    

Chen Xiao subconsciously replied.
