I Have Infinite Systems In The Immortal World - Chapter 354: Truth Behind Righteousness
Chapter 354: Truth Behind Righteousness
Everyone’s eyes blazed with greed the moment they saw the Auspicious Violet Dao Stone. After all, such a treasure can boost their cultivation by a great margin, allowing them to surpass anyone in their peer.
Suddenly, a cultivator couldn’t stop himself as he turned into a dart of flame, rushing straight towards the stone.
*BANG!*
” Ouch!”
A ray of light appeared before the stone, knocking back the cultivation. The cultivator screamed as he felt like he had been punched back, crashing to the ground.
” Hahahaha! You deserve it!”
” Fool! You think such a treasure wouldn’t have a protective measure?”
” Hmph! Fucking back bitches.” The cultivator was embarrassed as he scurried away.
Before anyone could say anything, a flash of light blinded everyone, as the figure of an amicable old man in a light blue daoist robe appeared.
” Greetings, those who have a fate with my inheritance. Without fate, we wouldn’t have met here.”
” I am Hong Luo, as you know me. As I have passed away, I have left my legacy for the future generation.”
” The test will be simple here. Everyone here needs to practice my true qi cultivation technique. Those who manage to comprehend the most and achieve the greatest result in a short time shall get my inheritance.”
Hong Luo rubbed his beard as he gave a gentle laugh. ” But don’t you worry. Everyone who shall practice this technique shall receive some treasures from my inheritance.”
With a wave of his hands, 108 golden seeds appeared in the sky, falling before them.
” Each of them contains a part of my Great Harmony Spirit Longevity Art. If you manage to comprehend it, you shall get the full technique.”
” Now go forth! The test begins!”
All the lights flashed as everyone disappeared from the room. When they opened their eyes, they were outside of the inheritance room.
” Look, they are back!”
” What happened there??”
” Hurry up and tell us!”
As it was chaotic outside, Long Ming’s expression was strange when he saw the golden seed. If he absorbs it, the Great Harmony Spirit Longevity Art will be directly implanted in his mind.
However, that was precisely the reason Long Ming felt it might be odd.
Normally, such methods are usually safe. But Long Ming knows something is wrong with the Venerable Hong Luo. Hence, he couldn’t help but be cautious.
’ Ah, wait, why am I worried?’
Long Ming chuckled as he used his Heavenly Revelation Eyes along with his Temporal Fate Simulation Technique. Suddenly, through the glowing seed, he could see the fluttering runes inside.
It was hard to decode at first, but with Long Ming’s ability, he quickly noticed something unusual. His heart chilled when he saw a strand of pitch black qi.
The such black qi wasn’t something Long Ming expected here. Because it carried a familiar feeling, something he faced quite some times ago.
’ Otherworldly being! It’s aura is the same as the monstrous mountain sealed in Azure Sun Secret Realm!!’
At that moment, Long Ming understood that these seeds aren’t just for the transmission of knowledge. The strand of black qi will sneak into one’s divine sense, subtly corrupting the soul of a cultivator.
’ There are three layers in Great Harmony Spirit Longevity Art. The first part revolves around the true qi along with the spiritual qi. The second layer is to nourish one’s spiritual qi and strengthen it so it would naturally increase a person’s longevity.’
Techniques which can promote longevity are greatly sought after, especially those who are near the end of their lifespan.
A cultivator at higher realm has great lifespan. However, most of them faced countless life and death situation. They were poisoned, cursed, burned their lifespan for greater strength.
In such regards, a cultivator with 1000 years of longevity, they might live for 600 years at most.
But at the third part, Long Ming finally saw the problem. He already comprehended all the Earth Devil Cult’s techniques. One of them was the Blood Seeding Soul Controlling Art.
In this technique, one needs to plant a seed of corruption in someone’s divine sea. The seed of corruption will draw power from the divine sea, and connect with a person’s soul.
After that, the planter of the seed can use it to control that person. Life or death, a cultivator will lose the control over them, as it would be controlled by the seed of corruption.
Long Ming saw some striking similarities in the third part of the technique.
’ Wait, could it be… The Sect Master of Earth Devil Cult was killed, and his technique was stolen by Venerable Hong Luo? Then he used that technique to guise as a righteous technique?’
Looking at the golden seed, Long Ming felt like all the puzzles were finally fitting together.
” What do are you thinking?”
Jiang Wanxue saw Long Ming and asked in a curious tone. Long Ming shook his head. ” Don’t try to absorb the golden seed. It’s dangerous.”
Before Long Ming could elaborate, a sudden commotion attracted everyone’s expression.
*BANG!*
A young man stepped on a corpse as he clutched the golden seed. ” Hahaha! This will be mine!”
” Is it true? The more seeds you absorb, the better chance you get?”
” What?! You can increase comprehension of techniques by absorbing other people’s golden seeds?”
Suddenly, the situation in the central palace turned tense, as everyone looked at each other with blatant greed.
Those with great sects and powers stayed together. Meanwhile, the smaller powers already started to hound each other.
Whether the rumor is true or not, one golden seed less means one competitor less. How can anyone let go of this chance?
” Holy Qilin Empire, we are giving you the final chance. Hand over that bastard Long Ming and the Dao Establishment Stele.” Sheng Changfeng looked at Jiang Wanxue and shouted.
” Mist Garden will also join Heavenly Sword Gate for this righteous cause.”
” Flame Palace too!”
” So will Dark Star Pavilion.”
” Yo-You!” Jiang Wanxue clenched her teeth when she heard that. ” Bastards! You think our Holy Qilin Empire fears you?!”
” Whoa! Whoa, everyone chill.” Long Ming stepped forward. ” Well see, isn’t that a saying in rivers and lakes? Elders don’t mess with young generation’s matter, right?”
” So, how about we youngsters sort this matter with each other, while you guys watch?”
Long Ming rubbed his chin as his face sparkled with sudden realization, ” Ahh, my bad, fellow daoists. I mean, if your disciples are weak, you guys can take on. I wasn’t trying to shame your sect legacy or something.”
” Yo-You! Bastard! Face me!”
Suddenly, the chief disciple of Dark Star Pavilion jumped forward, wielding a pair of scimitars. Long Ming clenched his fist as he prepared for a counterattack.
But his eyes widened in shock as he saw a sword pierce the dome with a streak of frozen qi, striking right before the disciple of Dark Star Pavilion.
Crimson wings formed with liquid blood vitality rippled the space around them. Like an angel of blood and war descending, a woman descended from the sky, holding a bright blue sword.
” So, who wants to fight against Four Seasons Pavilion?”
Mu Qinglian spoke in a cold tone as her Blood Phoenix Sacred Body erupted to its full power.
