"Second Bro, Second Bro, I told you to read more books instead of always thinking about women! I left that Tales of Gods and Devils in the cave abode for over a thousand years, yet you never even touched it! The book says that certain great figures send their descendants' souls to the mortal world, using the vast sea of worldly affairs to temper their hearts! Young Master must be one of those people!" Old Master said.
"Why send them to the Lower Realm? Can't they cultivate there in the Upper Realm?" Second Master asked in confusion. Compared to Old Master's vast learning and carriage-loads of knowledge, there really wasn't much ink in his belly.
"Other than when large-scale immortal wars and divine wars erupt, the Upper Realm is sacred and peaceful, free and unrestrained everywhere. Without the troubles of the mortal world, how can one temper one's heart?" Old Master said helplessly.
His younger brother truly never read.
He had no common sense at all.
The Upper Realm's environment was simply too favorable.
It was difficult to temper one's heart there.
But the mortal world was a great dye vat.
The vast sea of worldly affairs bewitched the heart.
Birth, aging, illness, death, greed, anger, obsession, unattainable desires, love separated, meeting those one hates!
All five poisons were present!
Nothing tempered the human heart better.
One had to know that Upper Realm natives with backgrounds like Young Master's would be forever cut off from the Reincarnation Cycle unless they committed a heinous crime.
To help their descendants grow quickly.
Some great figures of the Upper Realm would grit their teeth and send them to the Lower Realm.
But to ensure their safety!
They would certainly send protectors along.
And Xiao Chen's protectors.
Were two of the ancient Nine Fiends.
