Chapter 437: All Things Are Straw Dogs (19)

I don’t know why, but Jiang Huaizhen, who has become increasingly silent due to some experiences over the years, actually felt the desire to talk to Si Cen.

Everyone else was busy with their own things. Although they would occasionally glance at the two people who were huddled together, they didn't pay much attention to what they were saying.

So Jiang Huaizhen spoke without any scruples.

"They excluded and isolated me. Perhaps part of the reason was jealousy, as you said, but more of the reason was because of my identity..."

Through Jiang Huaizhen's endless chatter, Si Cen learned more about Wanshou Valley where Jiang Huaizhen was after he entered the secret realm.

The cause of all the events that happened later was that Wanshou Valley accepted the group of hybrids rescued from the secret room of Life and Death City.

In fact, there were many disagreements at the beginning about the placement of this group of mixed species.

A large majority of people who are particularly hostile to the demons advocate eradicating them completely. After all, there are still witnesses and even people who experienced the tragedy of the demons nearly massacring the three realms hundreds of years ago, and humans have not forgotten the blood feud.

Therefore, in this world, human monks hate demons the most.

Among the group of hybrids that were rescued, only a few were hybrids of humans and demons, and the rest were hybrids of humans and demons.

No matter what the reasons were for the human parents to combine with the demon parents voluntarily or forcibly to give birth to the hybrids, and no matter how innocent these hybrids were who were forced into this world and had such bloodlines not voluntarily, they were born into this world.

Anyway, it is a fact that they have half demon blood in their bodies.

Although hybrids have always been extremely weak due to bloodline problems, and cannot find any suitable way for them to practice, they do not seem to pose a threat.

But the radicals still advocate eradicating the problem completely.

Naturally, there are radicals and moderates, and people in this group have opposite views.

They believe that the Three Realms were originally the world of all living beings, and that any living being has the right to live on this land.

In the beginning, it was clear that all species, regardless of race or bloodline, could share all the resources in the world.

At that time, the spiritual energy was abundant and all things were prosperous.

Although the initial cause of the subsequent disaster was the excessive expansion of the demons, which led to the joint counterattack of the three races of humans, monsters, and immortals, the real history is still written by the victors.

In fact, it was the immortals (later the monks in the upper cultivation world) who advocated this matter at that time. They were afraid that the increasingly powerful demons would threaten their status and occupy their resources, so they did what happened later.

The so-called "Devil destroys the world" is just a prophecy of the immortals. It is not true or fictitious. But until the great devil who almost killed all three realms appeared later, the world was not destroyed by him.

Instead, it was the three races of humans, demons, and immortals who provoked the war. In order to expel and suppress the demons, a great chaos was caused. Not only did it result in the death of countless great immortals, but the demons were even almost wiped out. What was more serious was that the spiritual energy of the three realms had been weakening since then.

As a result, the immortal race gradually ceased to exist because it was too difficult to practice cultivation. Among the immortal race at that time, although there were not many Mahayana cultivators everywhere, they were not rare either.

Speaking of this, we have to mention the realm levels of the monks.

The realm can be generally divided into three major realms, namely, the lower realm, the middle realm and the upper realm.

The lower realms include: Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Building Stage, Golden Elixir Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, and Spirit Transformation Stage.

The middle realms are: the Refining Void Stage, the Fusion Stage, and the Mahayana Stage.

The higher realm: the tribulation period.

Each realm is divided into four stages: initial stage, middle stage, late stage and great perfection.

It is worth mentioning that the so-called immortals actually have one difference from the human race, and that is the difference in whether or not they have spiritual roots.

The so-called "immortal clan" does not mean real immortals, but those who are born with spiritual roots and can cultivate immortality, and they are the immortal clan.

As for if one truly cultivates to a higher level and passes the tribulation period, then one will ascend to become a god.

Whether the gods exist is unknown. Of course, every person who practices Taoism believes from the bottom of their hearts that they exist. After overcoming the tribulation, they will naturally become gods. Otherwise, where would they go?

At that time, spiritual energy was abundant and resources were plentiful. As long as one had spiritual roots and perseverance, cultivating immortals would be not only extremely easy, but also quite smooth.

Unlike after the war among the four tribes, the spiritual energy became increasingly thin, as if the heaven had sent down a punishment. Even the resources needed for various cultivations became less and less. Coupled with the loss of some skills and inheritances, the cultivators gradually found it difficult.

After generation after generation, it has become a declining era where even those in the Spirit Transformation Stage can be considered powerful.

So this group of people believes that all this is a warning from heaven.

Human beings should no longer act on their ambitions and allow greed to take hold, otherwise they will bring about their own destruction sooner or later.

They advocated accepting these hybrids, and even trying to find a way to coexist peacefully with the demons who were blocked in the purgatory outside the Northern Wilderness, in the hope that one day they could restore the era of prosperity thousands of years ago.

Finally, there are some centrists whose positions are unclear, sometimes agreeing with one side and sometimes agreeing with the other.

In the end, after all the arguing, they had no choice but to ask for advice from the strongest person in the current upper cultivation world, Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable, who was like a stabilizing force. After his advice, they agreed to let Wanshou Valley accept those mixed-race children.

However, those children will need to receive the strictest education (mainly in terms of ideology and morality) and close supervision in Wanshou Valley in the future.

And if those mixed-race children make any mistakes, all consequences will be borne by the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The matter came to an end after that.

Jiang Huaizhen had never expected that just because he felt compassion for these children after interacting with them and clamored for their parents to agree to take these children in, his sect later began to suffer from exclusion and even secret suppression that he could never have imagined.

There are many things that cannot be seen on the surface.

Many things are often ruined by some very small details, just like a thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole.

Although the current situation of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts is not that bad, it is still far different from before.

In the beginning, just because the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts took in hybrids, many more radical sects began to distance themselves from or even reject the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Later, it evolved into a situation where the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts was unable to recruit new disciples year after year, and even some of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts' disciples, followers, and families protected by the area left one after another.

As things got to this point, the situation of the hybrids in the Valley of Beasts became increasingly embarrassing.

The worst thing is that the disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts face invisible rejection and contempt wherever they go.

In the past ten years, it has escalated to the point where if they hear or see that you are from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts, they will start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

It can be said that the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts has now become the object of public dislike in the world of higher cultivation, and is not welcomed wherever it goes.

Jiang Huaizhen has suffered too much cold words, even some taking advantage of his misfortune and secret manipulation, and his spirit has been worn down.

The once flamboyant and confident teenager is now a gloomy and implicitly inferior (even self-loathing) young man.

There was confusion on his face, and as he spoke it was as if he had relived the past ten years. His eyes were slightly red as he looked at Si Cen, "I don't understand why it turned out like this. We just took in a few poor children who had no choice when they were born and seemed to be born with original sin. Why can't we tolerate them and us?

Although I really want to hold my head high and tell everyone that I did nothing wrong and I have no regrets.

but……"

He covered his face with his hands, his tone a little helpless, "I may have some regrets... maybe it really is my fault."

Si Cen lowered his eyes and said nothing.

He knew very well that any words of comfort would be of no use unless the current situation in the Valley of Beasts could be changed.

This once proud and kind boy was almost crushed by his deep self-blame and guilt.
