Chapter 1264 - 818: Taizhen’s Choice, [Immortal Descendant] Level 5

"There’s no need to keep it hidden forever."

Yun Taizhen smiled at him and said, "All that is needed is to hide it for this period... when technology advances further, when real artificial flesh and spiritual elements emerge, when the Demon Path is defeated, all that I’ve done will no longer need to be concealed."

"During this time, all this will be... this Demon Heart, borne by me alone."

"When everything settles in the future, when everything is made public... it will all be my personal doing, only I alone will have fallen into the Demon Path."

Yun Taizhen spoke word by word, "This is my decision; I shall confront the Demon Path of the world."

Li Feng listened to Yun Taizhen’s words in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.

After speaking, Yun Taizhen extended her hand and slowly handed a faint light to Li Feng.

"This is my Lifebound Soul Fire. If you find that I can’t maintain control, if I make a wrong step... then kill me."

"Li Feng, from now on, it’s up to you to oversee me."

Li Feng tightly gripped the Lifebound Soul Fire handed over, and his eyes revealed intense struggle.

"If everything is made public, who knows how many Righteous Cultivators’ Dao Hearts would collapse, countless people would follow the wrong path and directly fall into the Demon Path."

"If not made public, then it condones Yun Taizhen’s demon actions, watching the Righteous Sects doing things no different than the Demon Sect."

Watching line after line of slaughtered humans underneath the production line, hearing the endless wailing in his ears, smelling the pervasive scent of blood in the air, Li Feng’s eyes gradually became confused.

"Make it public, the Righteous Path will be defeated by the Demon Sect. Do not make it public, the Righteous Path will become the Demon Sect..."

"What to do? How should I choose? How should I choose?!"

The news of the underground factory ultimately did not spread.

Li Feng watched as the Righteous Path won victory after victory, watched as the world changed step by step, watched as Yun Taizhen reached the peak step by step, eventually becoming unrecognizable, leaving only a piece of regret in his heart.

"The secret became a weapon in Yun Taizhen’s hand."

"Using this secret, she climbed up step by step, pulling more and more people down into the abyss, becoming a demon among immortals, a demon among demons..."

"Righteous and Demon Path do not coexist; once stained by the Demon Path, even the slightest... can never return."

"If given another chance, if given another chance... I would never..."

At the next moment, a hint of clarity flashed in "Li Feng’s" eyes.

He remembered that he wasn’t Li Feng; he was Zhang Yu.

Meanwhile, Li Feng’s words echoed in his ears.

"Remember your regret at this moment, remember your remorse at this moment, remember... never ever tolerate the Demon Path, to destroy all Demon Path in the world."

...

Watching the dream gradually dissipate, Fu Ji commented, "After all, the difference between the Demon Path and the Righteous Path... seems superficially like the difference in Immortal Dao Technology, but in reality, it’s the difference in ideology, the difference in cognition. It’s normal for outdated Righteous Path ideology to be eliminated by more efficient Demon Path."

Wild Bull said, "Ideology can’t defeat reality. Whether Righteous Path or Demon Path, to achieve victory, strength is required."

Zhan Xian remained silent, seemingly contemplating what he would do if he were in Li Feng’s position.

At that moment, the dream flipped and began again from the start.

Zhan Xian was slightly startled and said, "The dream is repeating?"

Fu Ji frowned and said, "Li Feng, that guy... is trying to make Zhang Yu experience the dream repeatedly, soaking his essence into Zhang Yu’s mind."

Wild Bull said, "It’s not just that... if Zhang Yu repeatedly makes Li Feng’s choice, he might eventually be fully immersed in it and never wake up. This is Li Feng’s test for him."

With each cycle of the dream, he repeatedly faces the final choice.

Beside him, lines of text also began to appear.

Fu Ji said, "It’s Yingxin Heaven’s message? Hmm? So, this guy..."

Zhan Xian said, "His real choice was completely different from that in the dream."

Yingxin Heaven’s message spoke of Li Feng’s true experience.

...

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu in the dream experienced a moment of haziness, suddenly regaining a bit of clarity.

It was precisely because avatars saw Yingxin Heaven’s message, letting Zhang Yu also receive this bit of information.

In fact, due to the effects of the Infinite Heart Internal Dharma Body and Ten Thousand Techniques of Freedom and Mystery, Zhang Yu maintained contact with the avatars at all times.

Also, because of entities like Wild Bull, Zhan Xian, and Kao Sect Avatar bearing distinctly different wills, Zhang Yu always possessed a third-party perspective, preventing him from completely sinking into the dream.

At this moment, Zhang Yu, having regained a hint of clarity, suddenly said, "Senior, in the end, you... actually didn’t yield to Yun Taizhen."

Li Feng snorted coldly and said, "If you want to flatter me to pass, then that’s too foolish."

Zhang Yu shook his head and looked at him, saying, "Senior, I personally experienced your dream, your memory... I can feel that your dream and real memory aren’t the same."

"Senior, you’re too self-critical, too remorseful... resulting in a severe amplification of mistakes in your dream."

At this moment, Zhang Yu’s mind recalled Yingxin Heaven’s message.

...

At that moment, in Li Feng’s mind, the voice of his master seemed to echo again.

"Righteous and Demon Path do not coexist."

Li Feng looked at Yun Taizhen before him and said, "One wrong step leads to continuous missteps; from the moment when Righteous Path used demon means, it was a mistake, and I can’t continue on this path."

After speaking, he stood up.

"Even if abandoned by the times, even if this era no longer needs us, I will never stand alongside the Demon Path."
