Ever since I got accepted by the Heavenly Sword Sect Master, I have been keeping this journal. Thank to the convenient timing of master's close door training, I have been allowed to rest. I wanted to go and do something.

...

I know I have to work hard on my cultivation, but ever since master enter close door cultivation, I have been lonely.

The Heavenly Sword Sect is a large sect, but ever since I got taken in to the Sect Master's personal abode, I have not seen a soul.

...

I kept walking in one direction, to see how far I have to go to see another living being.

...

Day 30 of traveling, 10,000 km out, not even insects live in this land. Even though the Heaven Qi permitted the air, greatly beneficial to cultivation, not even one cultivator can be seen.

...

Master come out of cultivation and come to pick me up. Even though I have been traveling for more than a month, he took me back on his flying sword in a blink of an eye.

I did not say anything.

...

Perhaps the essence of cultivation is solitude, and that is why the Sect Master's abode, the person closest to Heaven is like that.

Perhaps I'm not suitable for attaining the Heavenly Dao.

...

Day 360 after being accepted, master Zheng Jie realizes my trouble. After his inquiry, in which I didn't dare to hide anything, he says 4 simple words.

"Why didn't you ask?"

...

Master has given me a treasure, Heaven and Earth gate. It is a lesser treasure in master's possession, even so it is something more than I could hope for in my lowly life as a wondering cultivator.

I wonder why he has taken me in.

But phew, the problem of wanting to go out has been solved. A year is about the average a cultivator has to cultivate in close door anyway, I didn't know why I was so worry.

...

The Heaven and Earth gate allows one to travel anywhere in a 100,000,000 km radius instantly. In my opinion it is greater than any travel treasure. Master is truly the best under the heaven.

However, try as I might, even though I told the treasure to take me to the main branch of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the treasure just stay still.

...

Finally I saw another cultivator after trying to travel as far out as possible with the Heaven and Earth gate. They bow to me, recognizing me as the main disciple of the Sect Master. Every surrounding habitat outside of the 100,000,000 km radius from the Sect Master's abode belong to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Though I don't know why they live that far out, for master it is as easy as taking his sword and flying back and forth.

...

There are particularities about this strange arrangement, when I ask the main disciple in charge of the day to day business (my grand disciple!) he deflects the question, dropping his head in shame. The other disciples act fearful while some looks up to me with reverence.

I investigated this phenomenon, and exactly on the boundary of the 100,000,000 km radius from the Sect Master's abode is when the phenomenon is shown most clearly.

It is just a few steps, but it is as different as heaven and earth. Even though it is just a few step, on the inside, the Heaven Qi is much clearer, more pronoun and clear. The air is also different, cleaner of purities. That is not to say that the head branch of the Heavenly Sword Sect isn't Heaven Defying, the land is as expected of a sect with a hundreds thousand years of tradition. However it is still one step down.

More importantly, inside the boundary, even insects cease to exist while on the outside life starts thriving again.

When I ask the great grand disciples about why they aren't cultivating on better land, they say they didn't dare.

It is a mystery I can't solve.

...

After sometime familiarizing myself with the Heavenly Sword Sect, the disciples familiarize themselves with my presence.

...It's worse than the solitude I experience traveling for days without seeing another living creature. It is known that my cultivation is even lower than even the hopeful Outer Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. I wouldn't even be accepted as an Outer Disciple!

They wanted to say something, but they don't dare because of the presence of the Sect Master!

...

I have resourced to going back, the experience leave me humble on the greatness of our sect. Even though I thought my cultivation was good for a wandering cultivator, I realize I would just shame my master as I currently.

When I come back after months of dealing with the Heavenly Sword Sect matters, master has three words to say

"You are uncleaned"

Suddenly I realize that it was true. I was uncleaned compared to the air of the Heaven Sword Saint abode. I take great care entering close door cultivation, purging myself of the impurities after experiencing first hand just how dirty myself is compared to the air of the abode.

My cultivation didn't rise at all after all those days!

That was also when I realize...

The outside is dirtier than even the dirt of the Heaven Sword Saint abode.

"On the path of cultivation, one step into Devils, one step into Saints

Who is Devil, who is Saint? It depends on the perspective of the beholder."

During all of this, every time Lang Li travels outside of the absolute radius, countless eyes keep watch of her, especially in this crucial time when a plot is being hatched.

However at that moment, Lang Li was given a fright unlike anything before.

She jumps at the sight in front of her.

"M-master! What are you doing?"

While that is happening, Zheng Jie is sharpening his sword in his own yard, detached from the outside matter.

"Don't you know Lang Li? Going into battle (of the tongue), it is important that you sharpen your sword (as well as your tongue), so that you can cut cleanly through the despicable beings who walk the Devil Path (actually only Yan Yu)"

Lang Li sweats, 'Master really did find a Devil Path cultivator. And now he is going to clean his sword to cut their head. So cool but at the same time quite scary though.'

"Ahem." She coughs to get the thoughts out of her head.

"I'm going to the Royal Banquet now. I would like to ask for your permission."

"Okay. Return in two days and I will regale you the tale of how I walk out triumphant from an encounter with a high level Devil path cultivator." Zheng Jie says confidently. At the same time, it is just a battle of the tongue.

He truly believes that he can talk this... this Devil Yan Yu into admitting the errors of his way and with enough shame, end himself to do the world the favor. And if the other is not repentant, he will personally seek him out, no matter where he is in the world and slay him. Evil is not permitted to walk unopposed. It is the mission of all cultivators under heaven to destroy evil where they see them.

Little did he knows that all of his plan violate almost all of the core rules of the Heavenly Dao discussion system and more than likely, "Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zheng Jie" is going to be banned again.

And yet at that moment... In a dimension, locked out from the outside world.

"What's wrong?" The Black Devil's fellows ask the man who was in an unusual amused mood for the last two days. And yet currently, Yan Yu just involuntarily shiver from an unknown cause. He raises his lips again

He seems to have pissed off a Heaven Path Cultivator some place, somewhere. This feeling confirm it.

"Nothing, I just have a premonition of being cut by Sword Qi." An amused smile returns on his face. Ever since he was locked into this dimension, the only Heaven Path cultivator he encounters was this certain guy on screen. He knows full well that since "Shi Xiang" isn't responding, it means he must already be in cultivation right now, and so the techniques written on screen is useless.

But it is good for pissing the Heaven Path Cultivator who wrote the two hateful lines at the start though. And for that he feels all better.

Even though I can't rampage around the world, this Ancestor is still pissing of those oh so high and mighty cultivators.

This system truly is beneficial, if only for his amusement.

"Sword Qi! Did the Old Devil retains his Heaven Qi? But it is impossible! All who falls into the Hell dimension is stripped of all Heaven Qi, no matter how strong they are, and they can never have it back." The fellows who didn't know what Yan Yu was talking about mutter in shock.

What is the Hell dimension? It is the greatest prison for the Devil Path cultivators themselves. It is the greatest secret of the world, no one know how it was formed, but since time memorial, Devil Path cultivator who has achieved certain realm immediately fall down here. All of their connection to the Heaven Dao was stripped, all of their Qi is taken from them. All connections to the normal world is cut. That is how vicious the Hell Dimension are.

But Devil Path cultivators aren't normal either. They are those who disdain the Heaven, with rage, indignity and vicious cunning, over generations they have passed down a special cultivation technique for the one who just recently fallen down.

This matter...

It was secretly Yan Yu who developed such techniques, he is truly one of the Ancestor for all cultivators on the Devil Path.

Currently though, he is just killing time.

"No worry, no worry. Old Devil? What is he? I already got him on my sight."

Truly, this system is beneficial.

In front of him, a screen is shown, it is a map, with 10 green dots and one red dot.

After completing the mission from the system, this suddenly fused with his sense. At the start he thought it was an attack, but the system fused seemlessly with his sense. Now, with his high multi-tasking abilities, he can concentrate on both the surrounding and this "mini map".

What it is showing him though...

The Black Devil in disguise can only laugh. 'Now what enemies can hide from me?'

What is more importantly though, is the fact that after the first mission, another System Notice has appeared privately in front of him.

The mini map system is real, and so currently he is caring about this system notice a lot.

"Mission: Escape from the Hell Dimension"
