By now, Zou Feng had come to understand that in the Eastern Earth Immortal Realm, there was strictly no division between Righteous and Evil Sects.

The only natural opposition was between the Lawful Faction and the Chaos Faction.

Therefore, as long as one was a Cultivator of the Lawful Faction, they were free to cultivate whatever Daoist Arts they wished.

Besides, most creatures from the Outer Realms were considered "heretics."

The Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect also upheld the belief that "those not of our race must have different hearts." When conquering Outer Realms, razing cities and annihilating kingdoms was inevitable.

Many Cultivators who practiced Evil Arts were especially fond of using such opportunities to perform blood sacrifices and the like, helping their Evil Arts achieve Great Success.

As a result, many of the Daoist Arts that could be publicly viewed and purchased in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect were, at a glance, quite cruel and immoral.

But as long as these cruel and immoral Evil Arts were not used against their own kind, but against the heretics of the Outer Realms, there would be no trouble.

However, Zou Feng’s choice of Evil Arts wasn’t for committing cruelties against heretics, but because he needed Daoist Arts that could torment his own body in various ways.

The Evil Qi Guiding Art was one such technique.

It used the body as a medium to endure Evil Qi, converting True Qi into Spiritual Qi in an extremely brutal manner.

Evil Qi was primarily for slaughter. As long as he could remain lucid and avoid Falling into Demon, the boost to his attack power would be significant.

After cultivating to a certain level, Zou Feng could even perform a "Tiger Body Shake" and knock out the weak-willed.

It was comparable to the King’s Aura. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Zou Feng, a Dining Hall disciple from the Outer Sect of Taian Mountain, has come to the Earthly Evil Gully to cultivate!" Zou Feng said, cupping his fist to the grim, ghost-like senior brother before him.

The disciple guarding the Earthly Evil Gully pointed expressionlessly at a stone tablet to the side. "Place your Token on it to register!"

"Remember, once you’re in, don’t get too damn greedy. If you absorb too much Evil Qi and Fall into Demon, don’t blame me for refining you!" With that, he returned to his stone hut.

’Guarding a place like the Earthly Evil Gully every day, it’s normal for him to be short-tempered...’

Zou Feng had no intention of trying to get friendly with him anyway. He first placed his Token on the stone tablet—like swiping a card—and then walked inside.

He hadn’t taken more than two steps inside when Zou Feng felt a sense of agitation, an inexplicable urge to lose his temper.

Not daring to delay, he quickly activated the Evil Qi Guiding Art and found a flat spot to sit down cross-legged.

Looking into the distance, black flames continually erupted from the depths of the Earthly Evil Gully.

Accompanied by waves of terrifying sounds, like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

Even though he had Big Bro helping him endure it, his cultivation of the Evil Qi Guiding Art had just begun. There was no need to go deeper.

Besides, the Evil Qi Guiding Art was only the foundation. The Daoist Arts derived from Evil Qi would have to be purchased later with Immortal Fate.

After that, Zou Feng entered a state of focused Cultivation.

「Around the same time, in the Sorrow-Forgetting Valley of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect’s Inner Sect.」

Clad in a green robe, Fu Jiaming lay on a wide-open lawn, drinking wine and admiring the moon.

Behind him, a woman with a human head and a snake’s body was flicking her tongue fearfully as she massaged Fu Jiaming’s shoulders.

"Brother Fu, is this snake woman from the Loulan Realm to your liking?" a man in a purple headband and purple robes asked fawningly from a short distance away.

In the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, those who wore such purple headbands were almost all members of the Purple Cloud Association.

And Fu Jiaming was the vice president of the Purple Cloud Association, a man who could practically do as he pleased in the Inner Sect.

Of course, that was on the condition that he didn’t provoke the few monsters in the Inner Sect.

"Very supple," Fu Jiaming commented lightly on the snake woman.

Recently, the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect had just located an Outer Realm called the Loulan Realm.

After a round of conquest and plunder, they had nearly razed the entire Loulan Realm to the ground.

Many of the snake women had been reduced to becoming the playthings of Inner Sect Elite Disciples like Fu Jiaming.

Of course, with his status, he wasn’t yet entitled to enjoy the true noble snake women of the Loulan Realm.

The noble snake women were mostly divided up among the high-ranking Sect Elders, True Disciples, and the like.

The next moment, another disciple hurried over and whispered a few words into the purple-robed man’s ear.

The purple-robed man’s brow furrowed slightly.

Fu Jiaming immediately caught the change in his expression. "Junior Brother Wang, what happened?"

The purple-robed man, Wang Rui, said, "It’s nothing. A member from the Outer Sect was killed on the Dao Discussion Platform. I’ll handle it right away."

Normally, Fu Jiaming would never bother with such a trivial matter.

But for some reason tonight, his interest was suddenly piqued. He pressed on, "Who in the Outer Sect dares to touch a member of my Purple Cloud Association?"

"Er... he’s a Martial Artist from an Outer Realm who just joined the Sect a few days ago. I heard he hasn’t even formed a Spirit Body yet..."

"Oh?" Fu Jiaming’s interest grew even more.

After all, while he didn’t know a bottom-tier Outer Sect member like Yang Haoyu, anyone who could join the Purple Cloud Association was basically a prospect with the potential to enter the Inner Sect.

Moreover, these prospects often deliberately suppressed their Realm, just to squeeze more benefits from the outside and contribute to the Purple Cloud Association.

"To defeat an outer member of my Purple Cloud Association without even forming a Spirit Body... he’s quite a talent!"

"Recruit him. Have him take over the work of the one who got killed!" After a pause, he added, "You can offer him more generous terms."

The Purple Cloud Association wasn’t the kind of organization that had to suppress everyone who crossed them.

On the contrary, they were very keen on absorbing new talent.

They would even spend a fortune to poach people.

And although members who joined the Purple Cloud Association would have their freedom restricted, the various benefits were also obvious.

An organization like the Purple Cloud Association couldn’t survive in the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect by relying solely on the protection of a True Inheritor.

Hearing Fu Jiaming’s words, Wang Rui wanted to remind him that, according to their intelligence, this Zou Feng was too arrogant and didn’t seem to hold the Purple Cloud Association in high regard.
