I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 422 I Want to Change This World!

Shi Li was a slightly famous demonic cultivator in the Cold Wind mountain range.

His aptitude wasn’t good, and a genius cultivator had been suppressing him after entering a small sect.

Even his childhood sweetheart’s character had suddenly changed, and she ended up leaving him.

His past experiences could be said to be the most ordinary and melodramatic plot.

This was the true portrayal of most cultivators.

Childhood sweethearts? Once they stepped onto the path of cultivation, the friendship of mortals was not worth mentioning at all. It was extremely fragile.

In order to obtain cultivation resources, increase their lifespan, and control their own destiny, even the so-called best friends would backstab each other.

After experiencing the benefits of cultivation, no one was willing to become a mortal.

Extraordinary strength! Extremely long lifespan! All of these made people addicted to

it.

When Shi Li learned that his childhood sweetheart had been dedicated to that genius cultivator, his entire person turned black.

The so-called feelings were just a piece of paper, extremely fragile. Only strength was eternal. Thus, Shi Li had come in contact with the Demonic Path and its practices.

This was also the origin story of most demonic cultivators. There were only a few geniuses in this world, while most people were mediocre.

If they cultivated step by step, then they would never be able to catch up to those so-called geniuses.

However, demonic cultivation techniques showed rapid progress and benefits.

Shi Li had also been somewhat lucky. When he had been helping to deal with the corpse of a demonic cultivator, he suddenly found a demonic cultivation technique stabbed into the demonic cultivator’s back.

This demonic technique was called the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture. The principle was very simple. It was a method to devour the soul.

In the beginning, it could only devour the soul of a mortal. Every time it devoured the soul, it would become stronger.

At the same time, the Blood Qi would wither while the Ghost Qi would become denser.

Cultivating it was very simple. There was almost no threshold for cultivation.

After all, most of those who specialized in demonic techniques were cultivators with poor aptitude.

Therefore, the difficulty of cultivating these demonic cultivation techniques was generally lower, and the progress was very obvious.

The disadvantages were plenty. This Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture could only strengthen the soul but not the body.

The more one cultivated the body, the more damaged it would become. In the end, it could only turn into a ghost body. Otherwise, it would not be called the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture.

In addition, every living soul devoured would have an impact on the practitioner’s soul.

After all, this method of devouring living souls wasn’t very brilliant.

When one was devouring the living souls of mortals, its backlash could be barely suppressed.

Later on, when the cultivation base was higher, the enormous cultivator’s soul power would easily collide with the practitioner’s soul power.

Developing a second personality was considered light! The more serious ones might even become lunatics, lose their sense of self, and turn into a malicious ghost, wandering aimlessly around the world.

In the beginning, Shi Li had only memorized this demonic technique, not daring to cultivate it.

The side effects were horrible.

Shi Li had been aware that once he cultivated this demonic technique, the sect would definitely not be able to tolerate him. At that time, it would be a question of whether he would be able to save his own life.

However, just as Shi Li had been planning to live his life in mediocrity, his childhood sweetheart died!

That’s right! That genius cultivator had just been playing around with Shi Li’s childhood sweetheart.

Shi Li himself did not have any background, so his childhood sweetheart was naturally just an ordinary person.

It was just that her appearance was a little pure and amiable, while her aptitude was not that great.

That person had only used a few flowery words, and coupled with his handsome appearance and some Spirit Stones, he tricked this village girl from a small place until she was dizzy. In the end, he had even tricked her into taking some aphrodisiacs to take her virginity.

He had turned her into his plaything, perfectly showcasing what it meant to be a beast.

And no one had felt that there was anything wrong with this person. In the cultivation world, the law of the jungle reigned supreme.

No one would take revenge for such a village girl.

After Shi Li’s childhood sweetheart woke up and found out about all this, her entire person naturally collapsed.

Regret! Despair! Death of the heart!

She hated herself for losing her mind and being deceived so miserably by a person she had met a few times.

She hated herself for letting down Shi Li and betraying the feelings of their past little innocent selves.

“I’m sorry! Forgive me! Don’t take revenge for me, and live in peace!”

Shi Li looked calmly at his childhood sweetheart, who had died in his arms, and a wave of emotions was brewing in his chest.

She could not bear such an outcome and committed suicide in Shi Li’s arms in regret and despair.

This would make her feel better in her heart.

That night, Shi Li himself did not know what had happened to him.

He just buried his childhood sweetheart with bloodshot eyes.

After that, he began to cultivate recklessly.

He accepted all kinds of dangerous sect missions, used all kinds of painful cultivation techniques, and even sold himself to another genius.

He abandoned his dignity! He abandoned his personality! He became a dog for others.

The speed of Shi Li’s cultivation increased by leaps and bounds, to the point it faintly threatened that genius.

Everyone in the sect knew why Shi Li cultivated so crazily.

Some people even publicized the grudges, and many people even acted as if they were watching a good show.

They wanted to see what the final result would be.

Hence, the genius felt a little flustered.

He wanted to nip this dangerous situation in the bud, but he was afraid of the person behind Shi Li.

Shi Li had already sold himself to that person.

Therefore, the genius wanted to anger Shi Li in order to lure him out deliberately.

“You’ve never tasted your childhood sweetheart, right? Let me tell you! Very moist!

“And she even took the initiative to cooperate!”

Listening to the extremely humiliating words, Shi Li recalled the lover who had died in his arms that day and went mad!

He had never been so angry.

‘Why!? Why is it that people with high cultivation can do whatever they want? Why can people with deep backgrounds do this!?’

Others could only manipulate ordinary people like him.

In his resentment, Shi Li thought of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture.

In the face of provocation, he did not fight back or speak. He hid in the dark like a venomous snake.

At that moment, there was no so-called morality in Shi Li’s heart.

He only wanted to sweep the entire world clean so that this kind of thing would not happen in the future.

Then, he would resurrect his lover.

If others knew Shi Li’s thoughts, they would definitely think that this person was not just crazy but that a door had crushed his head.

This was because of the disparity in power. Unless all the cultivators were killed, it was impossible to solve this problem.

As for resurrecting a person? This was even more impossible!

No one had ever been able to resurrect after death, not even the once glorious first Human Emperor.

However, no one could fathom Shi Li’s determination.

After deciding to cultivate the Soul-Devouring Ghost Scripture, Shi Li chose the village that had once nurtured him as his stepping stone.

Acquaintances were easy and hard to find.

Eventually, the entire village disappeared…
