The thing that Yan Yu wanted the most in this world was more.
More sights, more sounds, more fragrance, more taste, more knowledge. What he wanted was more out of this world, once upon a time, he mistakenly thought that those desire comes from a righteous cause, a desire to become a single paragon, a superior existence from which all cultivators strive to become. Once upon a time he strives to uphold that idea, a paragon that all strive to become.
However, the cause was in the end, to have more.
Becoming a paragon may have been the mean, but it is not the goal. The goal is to have more.
At some point, 'Yan Yu' probably recognized that. But he has played a role for too long, that it was hard to let go.
Furthermore, the very idea was sacrilege.
A single existence being which all cultivators strive for, isn't that 'Heaven'?
It was the idea of heaven. Perhaps once upon a time, Yan Yu strives for it.
But he strives for more. The very idea was absurd, someone becoming like the heaven but it was due to a baser instinct, wanting to see more, hear more, smell more, taste more, know more.
And then Yan Yu was struck down.
Being stuck in a dimension with nothing more is perhaps the worst punishment someone like him could have.
That why, facing with the thought of being able to interact with the world, Yan Yu-
Looking that the other person is not around, Yan Yu takes the opportunity to act.
In fact, there was time he has made an act like this before, but it was always foil, either by the system or that guy. Zheng Jie, the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Strictly speaking, that guy should be Yan Yu's great grand disciple. After a bout of nostalgia, Yan Yu finally remember just where he heard that name before. The Heavenly Sword Sect. In a more simple time, it was THE Heaven Sect. No more bells and whistles. The name was increasingly simple yet arrogant.
The Heaven Sect.
One path toward the Heaven. No other sect could compete. No other sect could contend with the name. One path toward the heaven. An extremely domineering name that was accurate for Yan Yu's ambition.
During that time, at the end, when the sect fell, there was many splinter factions created by the junior disciples in the aftermath.
The Heavenly Sword Sect was one of those name
That guy who created the sect aside, strictly speaking Zheng Jie did indeed come from Yan Yu. Strictly speaking, Zheng Jie is Yan Yu's great grand junior.
Than why is that guy getting in the way of everything Yan Yu tried to do?
That time, after enlightening Shi Xiang
That time after that fairy person enter the Heavenly Dao Discussion.
That time, after that princess girl asks what cultivation is.
All of it was great opportunity. All of it was great chance to act, chance to delude the mind of the young generation that is.
All of that time, Yan Yu tries to pass on his technique to the world, to the promising new generation.

Every time that happened, that great grand junior interfered. This has happened before, this will all happen again. The first time with Shi Xiang was just a fluke, Shi Xiang was just enlightened with the philosophy of the Devil Path, he never learns any proper technique yet. But as say, it was just a fluke, after that, try as he might, Yan Yu could not pass any techniques or make attempt at influencing the outside world at all.
The other guy was just too vigilant. It may seem to be a lot of nonsensical argument every time Yan Yu and Zheng Jie appears at the same time, but it was in fact, deliberate on Zheng Jie part. Both master has a 5 minutes cool down for posting, as in, after posting for 5 minutes, they have to stop. It was a System imposed rule due to the two's typing speed being so great that no junior could actually understand what was happening. However, even then, it may not be enough.
This simple typing trick, Yan Yu has mastered a long time ago, in 5 minutes time, he could have typed enough letters to cover twenty continents' worth of books. That is over three hundred billions books if his estimate is right.
The problem is that the same could be apply to that guy. Every time the page turn into nonsense, in fact, a great battle of words and typing speed happened on that very pages. Every time Yan Yu even tried anything, that guy shadow hided it with his seemingly useless argument to make sure that no one see it. And because he only acts after Yan Yu acts, usually, he always has the last word. He even timed it so that no matter what Yan Yu does, the manual he passed down is not coherent.
He was supposed to be the great grand junior damn it.
During that guy's long absence after their PvP battle, Yan Yu could have a lot of opportunity. However, at that time, the Black Devil was also having a serious funk over losing. How could he have lost? And so the nonsense about the manual was left aside for more important task.
Like getting stronger, but now... Shi Xiang has always been the closest to Yan Yu in the Heavenly Dao Discussion and that guy has just been banned...
It was the perfect opportunity. Seeing that Shi Xiang is also being pursued by a superior enemy, someone probably from several continents away no less, this is the perfect time for a sudden power boost.
Yan Yu starts typing to the attentive Shi Xiang who is still on the run.
The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Zheng Jie who still have a one day ban left, who is always vigilant immediately reacts after seeing dangerous materials.
"I need to see your master now!"
The disciples who was serving Zheng Jie within the Free Travel sects immediately kowtow and starts trying to explain. What was going in their mind was
'We really don't know where our master is! It was lucky that the Heavenly Saint was patient enough to wait for two days, but just what triggered this god?'
What brought misfortune to the Free Travel sect and triggered Zheng Jie was of course the Free Travel sect's sect master himself. He was the deep-rooted cause behind all of this happening.
