At that moment, while Zheng Jie is contemplating what he did wrong, Shi Xiang is on the floor, gripping his head. The imparted Dao was too profound, too close to the universal truth that his entire being can't help but resonate with each words.
He didn't notice the words that appear on screen, too busy with comprehending the Dao of the sect master, cultivation rising rapidly.
"System Notice:
Emergency Mode: You will now be directed to another unimaginable master on the path of the Dao."
In the next moment Sect Master Zheng Jie almost vomits out blood.
"System Notice: Devil Path Ancestor, Yan Yu has joined the private conversation."
"Devil Path Ancestor...?!" He grits out every words.
At that moment, the Black Devil, Yan Yu jumps up in surprise. He was the Black Devil, referred to as the Black Devil for so long that his name has long since been forgotten. The evil cultivators know him as Black Devil, he knows himself as Black Devil, but the truth is that, once upon a time, he was human.
On the path of the Dao, the Heavenly Dao is emotionless, yet is also merciless, asking cultivator to follow the only path, else they would be punished. Was it a wonder that there would be those who fall? Of course they would fall, because they are still human.
The Heavenly path Dao cultivators know of the Devils as an evil and cruel race, but did they know that behind the Devil, there was once human?
In front of the Black Devil, the words appear.
"The Heavenly Dao is without emotion. To achieve the Dao is to cast out emotion."
His lips curve down. He was just supposed to be killing time while hunting for a certain old devil, how did this happen? This strange artifact that appeared out of nowhere. And then these words. Having his human name brought up after millennia stir up a strange feeling within the Black Devil. It brought back memories, bad memories. And then these words... The words he hated the most. Even if no one tell him to intervene, he will still intervene. How could he not? These hateful Heaven Path cultivator!
"Nonsense. To cultivate the Dao is to defy the Heaven. The Heavenly Dao is without feeling, how could it care about individual human life? The Heavenly Dao is merciless, happiness turn into tragedy overnight, how is it Just?
The Heavenly Dao is unfeeling. Deny it."
Shi Xiang brought his head up to look up at the screen. As if a burden inside him has been dropped, everything stabilized.
Even though these men have never met, this is a battle of laws.
That is, for the men whose cultivation are so high, one step beneath the heaven, their words turn into laws. The words that Zheng Jie imparted was not just words, they are laws, unmoving, universal laws, indefinitely close to the Heavenly Dao, how could someone with a low cultivation like Shi Xiang denied it?
However, that is why the System brought in someone on the complete opposite side of the spectrum. Someone who could deny the Heavenly laws of Zheng Jie, someone who cultivate a different set of laws.
Devil Path Ancestor, Yan Yu.
"The Heavenly Dao is merciless. Fight it."
Finishing typing the two sentences, the Black Devil feels tired. Two laws to counter Zheng Jie's two sentences. The Devil path's cultivator was never supposed to set out laws, it goes against the meaning of their existence. That is, the world is chaotic and unfeeling, the only meaning in life is strength. Just two sentences have caused the Devil Path Ancestor to feel tired. Thankfully, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zheng Jie has been muted.

Zheng Jie "..."
At this moment, the sect master of the Heavenly Sword sect was biting on his lips, enough to draw blood. The words on screen goes against his entire philosophy, deny his heavenly law, attack his Heavenly Dao. How is this a Heavenly Dao Discussion? How could some Devil, so far from the Heavenly Dao be allowed in such a discussion.
Quickly, he mutters
"Don't do it young man, don't be tempted by the Devil path. Wait for me, with my sword laws, I will cut through this Devil."
It is said that a master at Sky Sea realm can be compared to the Sky Sea above. That is... it is the sky. So indefinitely close to the Heavenly Dao, their law is close to the universal laws. If one decided that something should be, than it would be. That is why, even continent away, even though Zheng Jie didn't specifically imparted anything on the being of Shi Xiang, once the words was written, it was written into the Heaven, becoming a law that affect Shi Xiang that dictates his cultivation.
And now, with the law of his sword, Zheng Jie brought his sword down on the System interface, trying to cut Yan Yu through the screen. The Heaven and Earth move, immortals outside run away in fright. A horrible law is written down.
The System "..."
The System was as unfeeling as the Heavenly Dao. Nothing happens.
"Master!" The female disciple standing in waiting in the yard yelps in fright. Zheng Jie was unmoving, his mind uncomprehending.
"It was wrong?"
The disciple didn't dare to make any unnecessary movement even though she was the only disciple of Zheng Jie. Only two, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword sect can only take in two students, one male and one female, completing Ying and Yang. This female disciple name is Lang Li, and according to the tradition of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Sect Master took her in without considering her talents. Because of that, she is "famous" for being the talentless disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sect Master. But no one dare to bully her because she was the disciple of Zheng Jie. Many wants to say it is a waste for Zheng Jie to choose such a talentless girl as the disciple but they don't dare!
She was supposed to have a fellow male disciple but, Zheng Jie in his wisdom decided that Yang nearing Ying will lead to a disaster. And so he decided to help her cultivate some more, let her mature enough before taking in another disciple.
"Lang Li." Zheng Jie calls. "Why did you come?"
The girl acts timid in front of her master, slowly she brought out a letter.
"The Heavenly Emperor invited the Sect Master to his Nine Cloud Palace for the Royal Banquet. It's related to the matter of our Heavenly Sword Sect's branch opening in his Nine Cloud Kingdom. If you are busy, I can send the Zhang family's messenger away." She doesn't dare to look up at that moment, for the events that just transpire was so frightening.
Zheng Jie glances down at the unmoving system and then back at his own disciple.
"No. Not going. Saving a person from entering the Devil path is more important than a banquet."
At that moment, Lang Li sweats. 'Saving life from entering the Devil path'? Who dare come and show themselves entering the Devil path in front of Zheng Jie?
Shi Xiang at that moment however, was not entering the Devil path, unlike the Sect Master's expectation.
