The Bright Moon Blade only gains spirituality when it kills people; killing demonic beasts doesn't work.
This means that the Glazed Blade Sutra encourages killing, as killing enhances the Bright Moon Blade. Glazed Blade, Glazed Body—the blade and the body originally interact and share the same aura. The enhancement of the Bright Moon Blade also enhances its master, the master who is one with it.
This kind of strengthening is an all-around enhancement, actually similar to the martial arts techniques of the Heaven Swallowing Sect and the Jade Cauldron Sect.
The Jade Cauldron Sect and the Heaven Swallowing Sect devour essence and blood to strengthen themselves and increase their cultivation. But what the Bright Moon Blade devours is not essence and blood, but a part unique to humans. The Bright Moon Blade devours it to strengthen itself, while also providing feedback to the Glazed Body of its master. It seems they are all walking the path of evil.
However, he has now figured it out.
He kills people, but only those who deserve to be killed, not for the sake of enhancing himself.

The reason why evil sects are evil, and demonic people are demonic, is because they kill rampantly to enhance themselves.
This is the root of evil sects, and it's not due to the techniques themselves, nor is it related to extraterrestrial forces.
If one receives extraterrestrial power but is not influenced by it, does not change their nature, and does not kill to enhance their cultivation,
Then that is not the evil path.
He breathed a sigh of relief, slowly revealing a smile. 'That's right,' he thought. After giving himself a perfect explanation, he felt at ease. Then he pondered, 'What is this part that distinguishes humans from demonic beasts? Is it the soul?'
Or is it something else?
These demonic beasts already possess human intelligence. Do they possess a soul?
Unfortunately, his Ultra-Sense is currently unable to penetrate the brain, unable to penetrate to the level of the spirit.
So, he still has to explore slowly on his own.
Xiao Ruoling watched him staring blankly at the Bright Moon Blade and didn't disturb him. She floated over and picked up the demonic crystal from the corpse of the Flying Leopard.
It was a fist-sized yellow crystal. Chu Zhiyuan looked over and smiled. Demonic crystals are also extremely useful for the Glazed Blade.
The difference between demonic crystals and killing people is that killing people benefits the Glazed Blade, or rather the Bright Moon Blade, mainly in terms of spirituality, with a significant effect on enhancing spirituality.
Demonic crystals are more comprehensive. After being absorbed by the Glazed Blade, they not only strengthen blood and Qi but also the spirit, although the effect is not as significant as killing people.
But compared to killing people, he still felt that demonic crystals were a bit safer. "Let's go, continue forward."
Chu Zhiyuan regained his motivation to explore this secret realm. The two continued forward.
The scenery before them constantly changed.
He marveled at the unpredictability of this secret realm.
The further they went, the more unfamiliar it became. An hour later, everything before them was completely unfamiliar. The same road, but the scenery on both sides was completely different. Seeing the two of them stepping out from the edge of a cliff, Yun Qiuhua, sitting cross-legged on a futon, smiled and said, "How's the harvest?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head in disappointment.
Xiao Ruoling said, "This time, it was an entrance we had seen before."
Yun Qiuhua said, "It's impossible for every time to be a new entrance; there aren't that many... Oh right, the Palace Master came by earlier and I asked her. The Palace Master said there was an ancient sect called the Two Extremes Return to Origin Sect."
"Two Extremes Return to Origin Sect?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Great Return to Origin Step and Small Return to Origin Step..." These were ancient fragments he had taken from the Tongtian Pavilion, suitable for Chu Yi's entry-level practice.
Yun Qiuhua said, "It might have originated from the Two Extremes Return to Origin Sect, or it might just be borrowing the name."
"What is this sect like?"
"Similar to the Heaven Concealing Sect, little known to the world, cultivating their hearts in the mortal world, unnoticed by others."
"Are there any notable deeds?"
"...No." Yun Qiuhua shook her head. "The Palace Master said that this sect is destined to decline, just like other ancient sects, due to excessively high requirements for aptitude, coupled with the changes in the world, the interruption of inheritance is inevitable."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded and smiled, "Then forget it, thank you, Elder."
"Don't complain that I told the Palace Master," Yun Qiuhua said with a smile. She was completely honest with the Palace Master and would never deceive her.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Originally, I didn't intend to hide it from the Palace Master, but other people..."
"Don't worry, I won't say anything," Yun Qiuhua said.

In the following three days, Chu Zhiyuan stayed in the guest peak of the Moon Invitation Palace, in his own small courtyard. Xiao Ruoling came over for half a day each time, being intimate and affectionate.
Three days later, Chu Zhiyuan had to leave the Moon Invitation Palace because the Martial Arts Hall needed him to go back.
Three days to readjust his cultivation techniques, schedule, and order.
If that substance could be removed, would it be possible to stay in the secret realm to cultivate and then break through to the Grandmaster realm?
But he wasn't too anxious about this matter because his Ultra-Sense couldn't penetrate the brain yet. After breaking through to the Grandmaster realm, his Ultra-Sense should be able to penetrate the brain.
So, there was no rush for this matter. It wouldn't be too late to talk about it after breaking through to the Grandmaster realm.
He left the Moon Invitation Palace with a sense of loss and returned to Jade Capital City. Coincidentally, the Phoenix Camp had finally returned.
He went to the Phoenix Camp and saw everyone, scolding them and telling them not to get too cocky.
Don't be influenced by the praise within Jade Capital City and forget who they are.
This great victory was just a coincidence, a matter of fate, not their true strength.
If they were truly lost in the illusion of power and didn't know to cultivate diligently, what awaited them was expulsion from the Phoenix Camp.
The Phoenix Camp could be entered and exited, and entering the camp for one day didn't mean they would be in the Phoenix Camp for life. After tightening their belts, he returned to the Martial Arts Hall.
Among the ten people in the Martial Arts Hall, four had stepped into the Grandmaster realm in these three days. The adjusted cultivation effect was immediately apparent, greatly boosting the spirits of the other six. After the four met with him, they were about to leave the Martial Arts Hall, and four new people would be added to replace them.
Chu Zhiyuan threw these trivial matters to Gao Lingfeng, letting him be responsible for the replacements. He focused on cultivation.
He wholeheartedly wanted to perfect the Transformation Spirit realm in a short period and try the Spirit Accumulation realm.
However, the Transformation Spirit realm was far more difficult than he imagined. His blade intent was getting stronger and stronger, but it still hadn't reached perfection.
Another three days passed.
The silver-sheathed long saber could now be completely drawn, and the blade intent was completely released. But he could already block it.
He could clearly feel the enhancement of his own blade intent, but he couldn't feel the sense of perfection. This silver-sheathed long saber could no longer provide him with assistance.
The blade intent at the broken blade was the same, unable to help him enhance his blade intent. For a time, his Glazed Blade Sutra cultivation reached a bottleneck, with no way to advance.
"Ancient weapons?" Chu Qingyan pondered. "Have you taken a liking to collecting swords and sabers?"
"Ninth Grand Uncle," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Actually, I want to see the essence, energy, and spirit contained in the swords and sabers—the blade intent or sword intent."
Only by clearly stating his specific requirements could he find them better.
In front of Chu Qingyan, the Grand Justice, Chu Zhiyuan was very relaxed and didn't have to be secretive.
This was his attempt to test whether his status was different from before, whether he was no longer restricted by meritorious service, and whether he could openly ask the Emperor for these treasures.
"The blade intent or sword intent on these ancient weapons is difficult to preserve."
"Eroded by time?"
"More or less." Chu Qingyan nodded. "No matter how powerful the blade intent or sword intent, it can't withstand the ravages of time. Tens of thousands of years—not to mention the blade intent and sword intent, even the weapons themselves have decayed."
"There aren't any?" Chu Zhiyuan revealed disappointment.
Chu Qingyan thought for a while, "It seems there's a saber. I'll go to the forbidden palace secret vault and look for it."
