The Immortal's Journey

"In your heart, does immortality make someone an immortal? Does taking other people's lives make someone a demon?

Does transcending the mortal world, forgetting all worldly ties, and rescuing people from suffering mean one has attained the Dao?

No, no, no! As everyone knows, it is only natural for righteous cultivators to attain the Dao and become immortals!

But what should they do when these so-called righteous cultivators discover that everything they once did was wrong?

Will their Dao hearts be damaged, and will they fall from their pedestals?

Or will they be unable to bear the guilt and kill themselves in atonement?

And yet! When the true calamity arrives, these so-called righteous cultivators must beg the demons they once tried to exterminate to save them!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! How absurd! How absurd! This is just too ridiculous!

Have they really forgotten whose souls their swords slaughtered, whose blood flowed beneath their feet?

Now that retribution has come, when they themselves become demons, I wonder how it will feel to face the very likenesses of those they once desperately wanted to kill!

Becoming immortal! Becoming a demon! Attaining the Dao! It's all a joke. The natural order turns in cycles, and retribution never fails.

What is meant to come will come! You can't escape it!"
