"At Stage Four, most demonic energy won't even be able to enter your body. Do you really want that to happen?"
…
At that question, Langtian's eyes widened as realization struck.
Right…
He had been aiming for the wrong goal all along.
His current objective wasn't enlightenment, nor was it achieving some higher state of spiritual purity. It was demonic cultivation. It was reforging his shattered golden core and gaining real, tangible power.
Sure, resisting demonic influence was helpful. Essential, even. But would practicing the Lotus Heart Sutra of the Tranquil Dao alone grant him the strength he needed to face what lay ahead? To take revenge?
The answer was obvious—no.
The Sutra was just simply, at its heart, a method of calming the mind and purifying the spirit. It had little to no offensive value. If he wanted true power, he would need to rely on demonic cultivation.
