"Eh?"
"Are there only two Elders in our Sect?" Kai asked, surprised.
Hao seemed embarrassed upon hearing this. "Why are you shouting so loudly? Let me tell you in detail..."
It turns out that 1000 years ago there was a war, which they called the 'Apocalyptic War', where Gods and Demons exerted their power, destroying countless realities and even affecting the Primordial Realm. Such a terrifying enemy managed to unite these rival factions, challenging the very nature of the cosmos. This enemy was called the "Chaos Devourer".
In the end, they were able to defeat it, imprisoning it in the "Prison of Nothingness". After some time, it was discovered that it belonged to the demon path, so most factions decided to carry out a total annihilation of those who practiced the demon path.
After about 100 years, due to changes in the Sect, there are now hundreds of disciples under the leadership of a sect leader and two elders. Every day in the Sect, they live a peaceful life planting medicinal gardens, fishing spiritual fish, and playing chess.
"...Are all the members of our Hehuan Sect male cultivators?" Kai couldn't help but ask. "Is this what the Demon Path is supposed to do? And for a powerful Sect like Hehuan, why aren't there many female disciples?"
"Sigh..." Resigning himself, he couldn't say anything, as this had been his choice.
Hao, seeing him visibly disappointed, quickly argued: "In our glorious past, there were so many female cultivators that we were able to grow at a catastrophic rate! What a great event that was!"
Kai waved his hand, "Alright, alright, Sect Leader, don't get so excited that you might give yourself a heart attack."
"Since I've come here, I won't let myself fall over a simple issue!"
"Since there are no female disciples, I'll marry a mortal woman," Hao said, shaking his head.
"Do you think we haven't considered this solution? We're not so foolish as to do that. How can a mortal girl be willing to marry one of my sect's disciples, having heard all the bad rumors circulating about my sect? Besides, we who practice dual cultivation, if used on mortal women with little talent, it has little effect. It's better to go straight to the brothel," Hao said sadly.
"Our Demon Path differs from most Sects that pursue Immortality, except for the cultivation levels, except for that, the rest is similar. They pay attention to their rules, marriage, lineage purity, and power. As for our Hehuan Sect, we have no requirements. But what we do ask is that you need to find a partner who can follow you for the rest of your life and whose potential is extremely high. If you manage to find a suitable partner, you can make rapid and stable progress. Unfortunately, finding a dao partner is also difficult... So we simply leave things as they are and let the disciples practice on their own. Every month, our sect strives to ensure that everyone can release their 'Yang' overload."
Kai couldn't help but put a hand on his head: "It seems you don't have it easy, old man."
It almost seems like this sect that supposedly follows the "Demon Path" is following in Buddha's footsteps.
"Sigh... It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the intention of joining this sect is to enjoy, not to get frustrated by insignificant things."
"But it's not that none of your brothers got married, but that they married mortal women and most of them are widows."
"But you're a special case!"
"Your Solar Celestial Roots make you special..."
"The Grand Elder, the Second Elder, and I desperately want to find a Fairy for you!"
Kai just let out a dry laugh at this: "Don't worry, old man, you don't have to force this issue." He could tell that this old man's anxious anticipation seemed to have a lot of hope in him.
….
Under the Sect Leader's recommendation, Kai chose the Second Elder as his mentor. Since the Grand Elder spends most of his time practicing and now has over a dozen concubines, it didn't suit him, despite the benefits he could offer.
The Second Elder is more relaxed. Although elderly, he has yet to marry. His only hobby is sleeping. Isn't this a coincidence?
"Second older brother?... Alright," said Hao.
Hao sent a spiritual message to the Second Elder, trying to summon him.
Not long after, both the Grand Elder and the Second Elder arrived at the Grand Hall.
The Grand Elder, nicknamed 'Old Devil', radiates a unique and enigmatic presence. His long, white hair, reaching his waist, along with his trimmed beard, give him a venerable and wise appearance. His bright silver eyes reflect an unfathomable inner energy, while his tanned skin highlights his vitality and experience. His attire, entirely composed of brown and black tones, gives him an air of mystery and authority. His extravagant appearance, combined with his magnetic charisma, makes it understandable why he attracts so many concubines to his side.
Xiaoyao Daoist, the Second Elder, seems to defy the passage of time with his youthful appearance. His intense red hair and penetrating green eyes contrast with his apparent age, suggesting a vitality and mystery that make him stand out from the crowd. He wears a completely white robe, which accentuates his figure and makes him appear unique and attractive. Despite this decent and charming appearance, Xiaoyao Daoist hides a dark secret: he is the biggest client of the city's brothel.
The aura and vibrations emitted by the two Elders are quite oppressive and special. The first seems arrogant to the core, while the second is mysterious, and at a glance, they can be seen as Demon Cultivators.
At this moment, the elders both fixed their eyes on Kai with burning hope. Kai gritted his teeth, resisting the overwhelming pressure they suddenly placed on him, and spoke while cupping his hands.
"It is... an honor to have met the Grand Elder and the Second Elder. My name is Kai Chen!"
The Old Devil's eyes emitted a bright light: "Is this the child of the Solar Celestial Roots?"
Xiaoyao Daoist smiled: "Indeed, he is handsome and talented; he is the future of our sect."
The Old Devil asked Hao: "Where did you find this treasure?"
Hao burst into laughter: "I found him near a waterfall. This is fate!"
Xiaoyao Daoist exclaimed: "You possess enormous vitality in every cell of your body. You are truly worthy of being the owner of the Solar Celestial Roots. I am even envious..."
The Old Devil shouted: "Let me see with my own eyes how challenging these Solar Celestial Roots are!"
Xiaoyao Daoist stepped aside with interest in his eyes.
