The students nearby agreed with his analysis .

“So his power is from the sword . Ultimately, it is an external tool, not his own power so there are limits . Even a True Emperor might not be able to knock down a supreme fruit . I don’t think Li Qiye can do it by relying on the sword . ” Another nodded in agreement .

All in all, an unknown student from Repentance shouldn’t even be compared to the Everlastings and True Emperors from the four great academies .

“Nonetheless, I think this Li Qiye has a chance . ” The lone student supporting Li Qiye still believed that there was more than meet the eyes .

“Listen, there are limits to that sword, regardless of how powerful it is . Repentance Institution hasn’t produced anyone worthwhile after so many years . Have you heard of a single True Emperor from there? It will be the same for this generation . They are descendants of sinners with tainted blood flowing through them, abandoned by the high heaven and cursed by living beings . No talent will come from there . ” One student said with disdain .

The lone supporter still maintained his stance, believing that the sword picked a special person as its master .

***

Of course, Li Qiye didn’t know that he had become a hot topic for debate . His group has delved deeper into the orchard .

Along the way, Du Wenrui patiently explained the various fruits to the young ones - their benefits and special effects . He knew each one like the back of his hand .

Meanwhile, Li Qiye was sitting on top of a branch of a sacred tree, swinging his legs back and forth .  

“What does the supreme fruit taste like?” He watched the dean before smiling and asked .

Du Wenrui paused while the students stared at him with curiosity . They naturally wanted to know the answer to the taste of the best sacred fruit in the world .

The supreme fruits were the hardest to obtain, reserved for the best True Emperors and Everlastings .

“Well, I have no idea . ” Wenrui smiled awkwardly and shook his head: “I have never eaten one, obviously . If I ever get the chance later on, I will let you know . ”

The group became disappointed after hearing this . However, they also realized how rude they were being . Their dean wasn’t a True Emperor so how could he pick and eat one to know the taste?

Li Qiye laughed in response while Du Wenrui remained normal and ignored the guy .

“Dean, we can’t pick any fruit here but I also feel that it’s getting harder to climb up these trees too . ” One student asked .



The rest nodded right away . They thought that they were the only ones having this problem until now .

“The trees themselves are normal but as we go deeper, the limitations have increased . ” Wenrui said .

“What is it?” One student inquired .


“Perhaps a way for the progenitor to test his posterity . This is a suppression stemming from the light that gradually increases . That’s why Fellow Student Li is here as a test so that the director will believe that he doesn’t have darkness in his heart . Darkness shouldn’t be able to hide in the presence of the light . ” Wenrui smiled .

“Oh, I see . ” The group nodded after learning this .

“Do all you old men embellish your progenitor to this level?” Li Qiye refused and steered the conversation somewhere else: “No need to hide those things since they’ll find out after becoming strong enough . ”

“Well, our explanation is logical and reasonable . ” Wenrui let out a hollow laugh .

The youths became curious again and stared at Li Qiye . They didn’t find anything wrong with Wenrui’s explanation .



“Calling this a suppression or a test is tricking others . ” Li Qiye smiled and shook his head: “The most exact explanation is that this is domination, or, to put it more elegantly, conversion . Beneath this land is a boundless ocean of light brimming with energy . The deeper you go, the greater the temptation of the light . Both the natives and outsiders will be affected by this pressure . Thus, what you’re feeling is not a power of suppression but rather, you are instinctively resisting this temptation of the light . The deeper inside, the stronger the temptation, and the more you resist . Thus, you think this is a suppression of the light affinity . ”

Du Wenrui sighed after hearing this . Certain secrets could be hidden from normal cultivators and the world . Alas, the real masters on Li Qiye’s level could see through this .

“What’s wrong with the light and accepting it?” Qiushi said: “Its illumination allows everyone to live peacefully . ”

“You are born without light or darkness . These two affinities are simply competing with each other . Since you believe in the light, you believe being in it is a good thing . Well, the same applies to those born in the darkness . Nothing is extreme and absolute in this world, no definite good and no definite bad . Let us use specific examples with this sacred mountain . From a positive perspective, if one can protect their mind and has light in their heart, they will be able to leave this place and become a good person, a successful conversion for the light . However, if this person were to fail to maintain their dao heart and enter the deepest area in this land, they will never be able to leave and will die here . Of course, some people try to make it sound better, but in essence, the person will become a puppet of the light . Do you want to become a puppet?” Li Qiye elaborated .

The group didn’t know what to say and exchanged glances .

“They’re still children, no need to tell them this . ” Wenrui shook his head .

“And that’s where your education is wrong . ” Li Qiye said: “They need to face what the light really is . It is not supreme and superior to anything else, just like how a merchant is not inferior to anyone else . If they had known this, they wouldn’t be feeling insecure about being from Repentance and blindly worship the light . This is an abnormal state of mind, I don’t care whether it stems from good intention or carelessness but the result is the same . They will live under this shadow for the rest of their lives - a shadow not created by the darkness but because of the illumination of the light!” [1]

Du Wenrui couldn’t refute because this was indeed the truth . Repentance City had no sinners but even if their ancestors had done something wrong, their descendants shouldn’t be punished and stigmatized .



This stigma remained for millions of years, always torturing the people of this city . They lived a borrowed life beneath the shadow of the light .

Alas, without a comparative point like Repentance, how could one show the superiority and greatness of the light in the other locations?

Because of this, the descendants there were doomed from the start . Their progenitor might have done this inadvertently or used it as a warning, or he might have had some other intentions…

Regardless of the reason, the people in Repentance have done nothing wrong . The real sinners here were Desolate Saint and the omnipresent light in the system!

Du Wenrui understood the implications and negative effects but he couldn’t change it . The only way was to overthrow the system and eliminate the illuminating light .  

First, let’s put aside his abilities to do so in the first place, this deed would turn him into a heinous sinner .

“How come we haven’t heard of these light puppets before?” The students’ dao heart has been affected by Li Qiye’s words . Nevertheless, they didn’t fully believe him .

“Because you haven’t gotten the chance . Come to Beast Garden and you’ll see the truth . ” Li Qiye smiled .

1 . Historical context: merchants were looked down upon in ancient China, below farmers and such . Confucianism viewed merchants as parasites who don’t create anything to benefit society, only exchanging pre-existing goods for personal profits .
