CHAPTER 436: The Sect Does Not Betray Me, I Do Not Betray the Sect
However, the most basic principle is that one must not do anything that harms the interests of the sect, and this rule is very strict.
For example, betraying the sect, leaking sect secrets, and so on.
Once one reaches the level of a true disciple, they can access some of the sect's secrets. If a true disciple betrays the sect, the impact is far greater than that of an ordinary foundation establishment cultivator.
Therefore, Yuan Yang Sect controls this aspect very strictly and rarely leaves obvious loopholes.
However, human factors are at play, and the Oath of the Heart Demon is not without its vulnerabilities; as long as one is willing to pay the price, there are opportunities to eliminate it.
Liu Yu witnessed Wei Xiao Qin solemnly reciting the Oath of the Heart Demon, and while his expression remained unchanged, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had previously been a bit worried that if the Oath of the Heart Demon was too harsh, it would put him in a difficult position.
It would be absolutely impossible for him to sacrifice himself for the glory of the sect.
However, seeing that the Oath of the Heart Demon was only to this extent and would not completely bind him, Liu Yu felt relieved.
In fact, imposing the most stringent Oath of the Heart Demon to ensure a disciple's loyalty to the sect had already been attempted by many major sects.
But perhaps due to the principle of extremes, the results have not been satisfactory.
After all, if a cultivator has such intentions and the forces harboring ulterior motives are willing to invest, then breaking the Oath of the Heart Demon is not very difficult.
Of course, this "not very difficult" is relative to large powers like Yuan Yang Sect and Heavenly Harmony Sect.
For ordinary cultivators, the Oath of the Heart Demon is basically unsolvable.
As Liu Yu observed, Wei Xiao Qin, who was swearing in the other corner, was about to complete the ceremony.
"Never leave, never forsake."
"Never betray!"
Facing the portraits of the past ancestors of Yuan Yang Sect, Wei Xiao Qin's face was filled with solemnity.
Seemingly influenced by the atmosphere, there was a hint of fervor in her eyes, and her tone was extremely firm.
Under the witness of the three Golden Core Elders, this woman displayed her determination, expressing her loyalty to the sect.
With the final four words spoken, her ceremony was complete.
Elder Qi moved, retrieved the token representing the identity of a true disciple, and personally handed it to Wei Xiao Qin.
Unlike the Black Token representing foundation cultivators, the True Inheritance Token gleamed with a jade color, with a surface that shimmered with vibrant light, clearly not an ordinary item.
The intricate patterns on the jade token were exquisite, but there were similarities with the Black Token; both had a blazing flame in the center.
This is the symbol of Yuan Yang Sect.
As for the back of the True Inheritance Token, it bore an ancient character passed down from ancient times, representing her identity, the character "Wei."
Upon seeing this True Inheritance Token, Wei Xiao Qin's heart skipped a beat, and her emotions ran high.
The goal she had worked hard for over the years had finally been realized!
Once entering true inheritance, she would be entirely different!
However, she still managed to suppress her emotions and respectfully bent down to receive the True Inheritance Token from Elder Qi's hands, not daring to show any disrespect.
"I, disciple Wei Xiao Qin, sincerely thank the elders for their support. I will never betray the sect's nurturing grace in this life!!"
Then, holding the token, Wei Xiao Qin respectfully bowed to Elder Qi and Master Changfeng respectively, stating firmly.
Perhaps due to her fluctuating emotions, her face flushed slightly, clearly excited.
"Mm."
Elder Qi did not shy away from this courtesy, clearly satisfied with the disciple, and then advised:
"Repaying the sect's grace is not an urgent matter; do not neglect your own cultivation."
