## Chapter Appearances

### Introduced

Chapter 11 (Demonic Faction)
Chapter 344

The demonic path is the inverse of the righteous path. Cultivators classified under this path aren't necessarily evil, but most exhibit some kind of characteristic that is generally attributed to the demonic path, some are called cruel and or ruthless due to their lack of compassion and inhibitions that they don't bother to hide, and some others are sadistic, deriving pleasure from the torture and pain of others, while yet other ones have executed their (more often than not justified) revenge against members of the righteous path, and have since then been 'put' into the demonic path by others.

Despite the demonic path being a collection of individuals ranging from trustworthy with a sense of fairness to individuals with questionable and chaotic nature, members of this path can still form alliances and become an organization, albeit with loose restrictions and most of the time no loyalty to said organization.

## Grades

What kind of Gu Master would be the most troublesome when categorized according to the demonic path's ranking? Gu Masters following the demonic path can be categorized into four 'demonic talent' grades.

1. Those of the 1st grade are Gu Masters that have talent and also no virtue, for example, Fang Yuan.
2. Those of the 2nd grade are Gu Masters that have both talent and virtue. With talent, they would be able to fill their stomachs however, at the same time, their virtuous nature ruled by filial piety, respect, and loyalty would serve as chains to bind them down. In the demonic path, ruled by mutually deceptive characters, it is decided that people of the second grade would not play a key role.
3. Those of the 3rd grade are Gu Masters that have neither talent nor virtue. Therefore even though they might not have any talent, they also did not possess any moral conduct and could at least be used for some lowly works to earn a living.
4. Those of the 4th grade are Gu Masters that are the worst according to the ranking. They have virtue but no talent. As they do not have any talent they particularly pay attention to virtue, trying to live up to their ideals as well as enforcing them upon others. Due to that, it was often themselves that would cause their own destruction.

## Inheritances

Inheritances created by demonic path members are more often than not, created in a malicious and vicious fashion. Posing a great danger and mortal threat to anyone attempting to inherit said inheritance.

## Trivia

* Regardless under which path a Gu Master is classified they can exhibit traits of the opposite path.
* A lot of people are purposely classified into the demonic path, by righteous path members to justify their *righteous* actions against those people. Most of the time this is due to a righteous path member or force wanting some kind of benefit in the form of cultivation resources or Gu, which is in the hands of an individual or a group.
* Even though lone cultivators aren't necessarily demonic they are oftentimes lumped together with demonic cultivators and discriminated against.
