I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2236

The two people conversed as if speaking in riddles.

The old man didn’t hide anything and said directly, “Because I was born here, I have an attachment to these heavens and earth.”

“You know, when people get old, they have a sense of belonging to their homeland.”

“A drop of rain falls, a drop of rain comes to life,” Xu Zimei’s gaze swept over the old man and the boy.

Finally, he didn’t say anything further.

To him, some things were just interesting stops on his journey.

This time, coming to the Divine Continent, he was like a traveler, merely an observer of the passing scenery.

He looked at the raindrops in the firmament.

He remained silent, and neither the old man nor the child spoke.

The other disciples of the Righteous Sun Sect also sensed something was off, and they too chose not to speak.

For a moment, the entire pavilion was silent.

Amidst heaven and earth, only the torrential rain poured down, beads of water large and small fell like jade disks, merging into a continuous line of rain.

This went on for a while.

The old man suddenly sighed deeply.

“The time has come!”

“Grandfather, let me help you.” The child beside him quickly stood up, supporting the old man’s right hand.

The old man also stood up, smiling, “Don’t be sad, at least I have a successor, and I won’t leave so alone.”

Beside him, a few disciples of the Righteous Sun Sect couldn’t help but speak.

Especially the woman.

She said, “Old sir, do you have some kind of illness? You can come to our Righteous Sun Sect for treatment.”

“Our teachers have celestial means; there might be a chance.”

Upon hearing the woman’s words, the old man chuckled, “Thank you, young one, but I’m afraid no one can cure my illness.”

“I am simply at the point where it is my time to die.”

Saying this, the old man walked out of the pavilion by himself.

At this moment, the rain outside the firmament poured even harder.

The torrential rain came down relentlessly, as if with a life of its own, pouring down from above.

And as the old man appeared, he seemed to have some mysterious attraction.

Countless raindrops fell toward him.

“The rain is wailing,” Xu Zimei said calmly.

Beside him, Wang Chuan from the Righteous Sun Sect seemed skeptical.

He said, “Does rain have life? How could it know what sadness is?”

“All things in heaven and earth have spirit, and things with spirit understand joy and sorrow,” the child beside Xu Zimei said before he could respond.

“Are you saying this old man is a spirit?” Wang Chuan, even if he was slow to understand, realized it now.

Spirits of heaven and earth are exceedingly rare.

Or rather, they exist only in legends.

Wang Chuan, having just stepped into the realm of the Righteous Sun Sect, never thought he would be so fortunate to encounter one.

“He’s a spirit, and are you too?” Wang Chuan asked again.

However, the child was clearly no longer interested in answering him.

Instead, he looked at the old man outside the pavilion.

At this moment, the old man’s figure was almost drowned by the rain, on the verge of disappearing from everyone’s view.

The child reached out with both hands, wanting to pursue.

At this moment, suddenly a brilliant light exploded from the rain.

The old man’s blurred figure turned into countless streams of water, engulfing the pouring rain.

If the rain that just fell was ordinary water, then at this moment, the rain was spiritual rain.

This spiritual rain was immensely beneficial to cultivators, as well as plants like flowers and trees.

A single shower of spiritual rain could revive many plants, bringing forth spirit.

The members of the Righteous Sun Sect realized this as well, and they quickly sat down cross-legged to begin cultivating.

“Farewell…”

The child looked at the rain and muttered softly.

“The existence of a spirit, what is its purpose?” Xu Zimei asked.

To be honest, he had never really cared about the spirits of heaven and earth before.

Now that he had encountered one, he was quite interested in the spirits within his own created world.

“The significance of spirit, perhaps it’s enlightenment,” the child thought for a moment and said.

“I was awakened by him, and this rain will awaken many more things.

Only when more spirits emerge can we contribute more to heaven and earth.”

Xu Zimei was satisfied with this answer.

Some spirits are distorted and malevolent, but there are also good, benevolent spirits.

There was no point in staying here any longer.

Xu Zimei then walked out of the pavilion and headed in the direction of the Righteous Sun Sect.

Before leaving, he waved his hand.

He gave the child a thread of the Great Dao’s energy.

He said, “If you have the ability, I can make you a Spirit Master.”

“Spirit Master, what is that?” The child was somewhat puzzled.

He had never heard of this term before, nor had he ever had such an idea.

From birth, enlightenment seemed to be their only path.

But Xu Zimei’s vision was clearly much more far-reaching.

“If it’s merely enlightenment, then your spirits will never grow strong.”

Becoming a Spirit Master, creating your own clan, that is the true end goal.”

Xu Zimei clearly had other plans for these spirits.

Of course, this was also a test.

This child was like a seed he casually planted; if he could grow, he would naturally qualify for that role.

If he couldn’t grow, it would not be a loss.

It should be known that the Nine Domains World cultivated the Holy Court as its eyes and ears.

But for Xu Zimei, although he needed eyes and ears too, he couldn’t choose them from the myriad clans.

Even though the Monster Race, due to Chaos, for now, could listen to Xu Zimei.

But as time goes on, the Monster Race and other myriad clans will eventually become independent.

However, spirits are different from other races.

Firstly, they are like rootless duckweed.

They need Xu Zimei as a backing.

Secondly, spirits exist independently of the myriad races, with no entangled interests.

If the spirits of heaven and earth were cultivated as eyes and ears, it would be the best result.

Provided that these spirits are indeed useful.

“Spirit Master… Spirit Master…”

The child looked at the Great Dao’s energy in his hand, his eyes gradually brightening.

He murmured to himself several times.

He looked up, wanting to call after Xu Zimei.

But he saw that Xu Zimei’s figure was also becoming blurred, eventually completely disappearing, merging with the rain falling from heaven and earth.

The child was momentarily lost.

“I’ve encountered a benefactor, a great fortune!”

……

The mountain where the Righteous Sun Sect was located wasn’t particularly imposing, looking just like an ordinary peak.

It is said that this mountain was even more ordinary a long time ago.

It was only after the arrival of the Righteous Sun Sect that the vegetation on the mountain became lush, and the mountain gained its vibrant life.

The mountain gate of the Righteous Sun Sect wasn’t strictly guarded.

In fact, the entire large sect didn’t even have a gatekeeper.

This is also related to the cultivation method of the Righteous Sun Sect.

Govern by non-action, go with the flow, Heavenly Dao rewards diligence.

Their cultivation is about understanding heaven and earth.

No cultivation techniques or secret manuals are needed, nor artifacts or treasures, just this simple and unadorned comprehension.
