The Record of Beheading the Immortal in the Vast World

The stage of the story, "The Vast World," is a world of cultivation that follows cold laws. There is no absolute good or evil here, only the three races of spirits, demons and humans are entangled in their fate. Thousands of years ago, the human race rose up and drove the demon race into the northern wilderness, establishing an order of cultivation based on the purity of "spiritual roots". However, this seemingly stable world is actually based on a horrifying truth that has been deliberately concealed: the essence of aura is the result of the resentment after the death of the ancient demon. The human race's cultivation is essentially absorbing and refining the demon race's hatred. The deeper you practice, the less human you are, and you will eventually become an "evil cultivator" who only knows how to devour the same kind of people. In order to cover up this truth, the "Heavenly Alliance" composed of the top monks weaved a big lie and labeled all those who tried to explore the truth or whose "spiritual roots" began to awaken and mutate as "evils". The protagonist happened to be born into a family chosen by destiny - his father was the man who forged the holy sword that could cut off all illusions.
