Ximen Wei felt a shiver run down his spine as Long Gen's words echoed in his mind. Despite the elder's tendency to exaggerate and embellish, there was a kernel of truth in his words. The Immortal Devil Sect was indeed one of the top ten sects in the Divine Star Continent, and their actions had indeed had a profound impact on the structure of the world.

The World Encyclopedia had recorded a tale that was almost a legend, about a powerful one-horned Devil who had appeared out of nowhere in the Divine Star Continent. This Devil was once human, but through a special cultivation method, he had become a demi-human, a Devil!

This Devil was a true paragon among paragons, his power was unmatched and no amount of combined efforts from countless heroes could stop him from causing destruction in the Divine Star Continent. His actions were brutal and relentless, as he indiscriminately slaughtered innocent people, leaving cities in ruins and sects decimated.

The world was plunged into chaos and despair, until a group of immortals descended from the heavens to put an end to the Devil's reign. In a fierce battle, they eventually managed to seal the Devil in a mountain, bringing peace back to the world and restoring order to the Divine Star Continent. The tale of this Devil was a warning, a reminder of the dangers that could lurk in the shadows, waiting to wreak havoc upon the world.

The passage of time had weakened the seal, allowing the Devil to move once again. However, his powers were still restricted and he was unable to undo the seal. With no other options available to him, the Devil made the decision to establish his own sect on the mountain where he was sealed.

The years passed, and the Immortal Devil Sect gradually grew in power and prestige. With each passing day, the sect gained a reputation for instilling fear in others. The Devil, who had once been the source of destruction and chaos, was now the leader of a powerful organization that commanded respect and reverence.

Despite his desire to join the powerful Immortal Devil Sect, Ximen Wei could not shake the feeling of skepticism that lingered within him. The sect's peculiar cultivation practices and its notorious reputation were of particular concern to him. He couldn't help but wonder if he was making the right decision, joining an organization that was so vastly different from what he was used to.

Although, his reservations, Ximen Wei was deeply driven by his own goals and aspirations. At the core of his being, he still held onto his moral principles and values, and the thought of engaging in mindless slaughter was repugnant to him.

However, his unwavering determination to grow stronger and return to his home was more powerful than his moral qualms. He was willing to cast aside all the fetters of his upbringing, including his moral principles, in order to achieve his ultimate goal. This inner conflict was something that weighed heavily on Ximen Wei's heart, but he was determined to push forward and overcome any obstacle that stood in his way.

As Ximen Wei considered his options, he realized that the people in this world were not his own, and that he was merely a stranger passing through. This thought gave him a newfound sense of detachment, and he felt a strange sense of detachment from the people around him.

With this newfound determination, Ximen Wei set his heart on his goal, no matter the cost. He told himself that even if he had to commit acts of violence and destruction, it was necessary in order to achieve his ultimate aim. He steeled his heart and vowed to himself that he would stop at nothing until he was able to return to his home and be reunited with the people he loved.

Ximen Wei's mind was set, and he was determined to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. The thought of going back home and seeing his beloved ones filled him with a sense of purpose and drive that he had never felt before.

As Ximen Wei raised his head and locked eyes with Long Gen, the elder was taken aback by the intense gaze he encountered. There was a profound emptiness in Ximen Wei's eyes, devoid of any trace of emotion. But, deep within, there burned a fiery passion and an unshakable determination that was both unsettling and awe-inspiring.

Long Gen felt as though he was staring into the depths of Ximen Wei's soul and seeing the single-minded focus that consumed him. It was a gaze that commanded respect and commanded fear, one that spoke of a determination so great that all other emotions paled in comparison.

Ximen Wei's eyes seemed to pierce through Long Gen's own, leaving the elder feeling deeply shaken by what he saw. It was clear that Ximen Wei was not to be underestimated, and Long Gen realized that this disciple was destined for greatness.

...

"I am Ximen Wei, a force to be reckoned with, a conqueror of worlds. My journey into the unknown is not a mere walk, it's a declaration of war against mediocrity. With each step, I stride towards ultimate power, a power that will shake the foundations of the Divine Star Continent.

I am the harbinger of change, the master of my own destiny. My fire burns bright within, a flame that will illuminate the path to greatness. I am relentless in my pursuit, unwavering in my determination. No obstacle will stand in my way, no challenge too great to overcome.

I am Ximen Wei, a name that will ring through the ages, a legacy that will endure forever. Today, I join the Immortal Devil Sect, and with that, I embrace my fate as a conqueror, a ruler of the Divine Star Continent."

Ximen Wei told himself as he knew there is no turning back trying to change his mindset.

"I will not be swayed by doubt or fear. The path I have chosen is one of power and strength, and I will not falter. I am steadfast in my resolve, unwavering in my purpose. And, I will not rest until I reach the pinnacle of success.

I have cast aside my old life."
