#115 - Chapter 115: Qiuyue's Secret

"When I first learned about the secret of the stone house, I was extremely shocked and incredulous," Ghost Sword said. "It was one night ten years ago, on the eve of the war between the righteous and demonic paths, I accidentally overheard a conversation between the Autumn Moon Sect Leader and someone. That person was wearing a black robe, and I couldn't see their face clearly."

"From their conversation, I actually learned that the fundamental reason for Autumn Moon Sect Leader to launch the war between the righteous and demonic paths was not to unify Qingzhou under the demonic path, nor for the eternal prosperity of the Heavenly Demon Sect, but for the stone house!"

"What!? Autumn Moon launched the war between the righteous and demonic paths for the stone house?"

【Hearing Ghost Sword Daoist's words, you feel a sense of earth-shattering shock. You are greatly surprised. Autumn Moon launched the war between the righteous and demonic paths because of the stone house. It does sound a bit unbelievable.】

"Indeed, it was for the stone house. What I overheard that day was indeed like that," Ghost Sword Daoist nodded solemnly. "The first time I heard this news, I also found it incredible. Everyone thought that Autumn Moon Sect Leader launched the demonic path war to unify Qingzhou and make the demonic path prosper, but unexpectedly, the reason for Autumn Moon Sect Leader to launch the war was actually for the stone house."

"Moreover, that day I also heard Autumn Moon Sect Leader and that black-robed person say that the stone house is a kind of formation, and launching the Qingzhou war is to collect resentment to nourish the stone house formation. I once heard the black-robed person say that the bloodlines of us Qingzhou people are somewhat special, so we must launch a full fifty years of war in Qingzhou, constantly letting us Qingzhou people die, thereby accumulating resentment. After fifty years of absorbing resentment, that stone house formation will be complete."

"Of course, these fifty years must ensure that Qingzhou continues to have people dying, and there must be a large number of Qingzhou people dying tragically every day, so that resentment can accumulate little by little. Autumn Moon Sect Leader launched the demonic path war to make Qingzhou people die every day to accumulate resentment and nourish that stone house formation!"

【Hearing this, your eyes narrowed. Your guess that day was correct. When you overlooked from the sky that day, you discovered that the arrangement of the stone house and stone pillars resembled a kind of formation. Now, listening to Ghost Sword Daoist's words, this stone house is indeed a kind of formation, and a vicious one! A formation nourished by the resentment of the tragic deaths of billions of living beings in Qingzhou.】

【Your heart cannot conceal its anger. Autumn Moon completely disregards human lives. How many people will die in fifty years of war? How many families will be broken and separated, the elderly dying tragically, and infants crying. And the root of all this is actually Autumn Moon wanting to collect resentment to refine a formation.】

【In the midst of anger, you suddenly have a ridiculous feeling, human lives are like weeds!】

"Lord, speaking of which, let me ask you a question. It took you less than a few days to defeat Autumn Moon and our demonic path, right!"

【Ghost Sword Daoist suddenly asked you this. You don't know why he asked this, and nodded.】

Ghost Sword Daoist said with some emotion: "Actually, there were already signs that Autumn Moon launched the war not to unify Qingzhou under the demonic path. It only took you a few days to defeat Autumn Moon and crush the Qingzhou demonic path, but before you appeared, Autumn Moon was also the best in Qingzhou. If she really wanted to end the war, as long as she spent two days defeating the Sword Palace Elder, who else in the righteous path could stop her?"

【Hearing this, you feel that it is indeed the case. If it weren't for you, Autumn Moon's strength would indeed be the best. If she really wanted to unify Qingzhou, although she couldn't do it as quickly as you, she could have done it in a few years. But in the previous life simulation of thirty years, Autumn Moon did not unify Qingzhou.】

【At the same time, this also indirectly confirms Ghost Sword Daoist's previous remarks. The stone house is indeed a formation, and an extremely vicious formation that needs to be filled with human lives, and it uses the lives of Qingzhou people.】

【At this point, you have many doubts. You thought of Ghost Sword Daoist's words just now, that the bloodlines of Qingzhou people are special. You thought of a scene you saw in the City of the Dead, a race with human bodies and snake tails burying a huge head under Qingzhou from the distant depths of the universe, as well as the vast desert of Qingzhou and the City of Chaoge.】

【What exactly is special about Qingzhou? Where is the Qingzhou people's bloodline special? And who did Autumn Moon conspire with, who is that black-robed person?】

【You have too many doubts. Then, you began to inquire about Ghost Sword Daoist again.】

【What does Autumn Moon want to do by nourishing the stone house formation with resentment? Is it to nurture some kind of creature, or to refine some magic weapon?】

【Faced with these questions, Ghost Sword Daoist shook his head.】

【Ghost Sword Daoist tells you that he also doesn't know. He really doesn't know. He didn't hold back and said all the secrets he knew. He also said that if you don't believe him, he can release his divine soul and let you search his memories.】

"Lord, the secret of the stone house is almost only known to the Autumn Moon Sect Leader. It's already amazing that I know the stone house is a kind of formation, and that the stone house is the reason why Autumn Moon launched the war between the righteous and demonic paths."

【You believe Ghost Sword Daoist's words, but to prevent any accidents, you still searched his soul. Sure enough, just like he said, Ghost Sword had just said everything he knew about the stone house.】

【Ten minutes later, you walked out of the dungeon. You put Ghost Sword Daoist into the storage bag. You had promised this person before to let this person take a look at the core scriptures of the Heavenly Demon Sect before he died.】

【Walking out of the dungeon, looking at the sky outside, you feel somewhat emotional. This trip to the Holy Fire Sect has been very rewarding. From Ghost Sword Daoist, you learned that the stone house is a kind of formation and understood the reason for Autumn Moon's launch of the war.】

【But at the same time, you have many unsolved doubts, such as what is the purpose of Autumn Moon collecting resentment to refine the stone house formation, who is that black-robed person, and where are they now? Did they run away after seeing Autumn Moon being killed by you?】

【You suddenly feel that you have to go back to the stone house again and study it carefully.】

【At the same time, as you think this, the news that the Holy Fire Sect was completely wiped out by you spread throughout Qingzhou. All the righteous sects were terrified, and those righteous sects rushing to take over the demonic path's territory quickly spat it out, after all, no one wanted to be the next sect to be destroyed by you.】

【At this moment, these righteous sects understood a truth, Lin Changqing is a hero for killing the demonic path and saving Qingzhou, but not the kind of benevolent hero in the traditional sense. Lin Changqing will kill people, and in an extermination style!】

【Five minutes later, you prepare to set off to the Heavenly Demon Sect's stone house to take a look and study it carefully.】

【As you are flying, you receive a jade slip message. It is from the Sword Palace Elder. He informs you of the reactions of the various righteous sects in Qingzhou to your destruction of the Holy Fire Sect. Seeing this news, you sneer endlessly. This is the effect you wanted.】

【You used iron-blooded methods to exterminate the Holy Fire Sect, just to make all the righteous sects in Qingzhou understand a truth, that is, Qingzhou is not the Qingzhou it used to be. Qingzhou is ruled by Lin Changqing, and the order is also determined by him. The era of a certain righteous sect controlling cultivation resources like before will never return!】
