A life of clearness

Chapter 218 Idiot
Sword Master Chongyu withdrew his gaze and nodded.

Seeing this, not only the flower owner but also the inspector breathed a sigh of relief.

The Flower Master was afraid of revealing clues, while the Inspector was afraid that any discord would affect his journey to the Xuanfeng Realm.

Since the Sword Master agreed, it is settled that the Flower Master will become the next Inspector.

"There is one more thing." Sword Master Chongji suddenly spoke. Chongyu obviously knew what it was and did not interrupt him.

"Since both inspectors are here, it's a good opportunity to talk about it together." Chongji asked, "You two have practiced for quite some time, so I guess you know this person, Concubine Ji?"

The flower master was greatly shocked.

The inspector was stunned, not knowing why the Sword Master Chongji suddenly mentioned this person. "The Imperial Concubine Ji that the Sword Master mentioned is the favorite concubine of the last emperor? I did meet her once. But logically speaking, that incident back then..." The inspector was vague, "She should have passed away. Is there anything wrong with this person?"

"She is not dead. After that, she had another opportunity, and now her strength is not inferior to yours."

"This..." The Inspector could no longer maintain his smile. He had a hunch that what the Sword Master Chongji was going to say next would be extremely important.

His strength was not inferior to his and Hua Zhu. That was the God of Transformation?! Everyone in the same circle knew which Gods of Transformation there were in this world and how strong they were.

But Concubine Ji? If the Sword Master hadn't pointed it out, he really wouldn't have known. It's not a good thing for a Transformed God to remain anonymous for hundreds or thousands of years... The Inspector almost immediately concluded that Concubine Ji had big plans.

But he didn't know what could make a god do this.

Reviving the Ji Dynasty? Impossible... The Ji family was completely slaughtered, and not even a single descendant could be found. Moreover, the Sword Sect was still around. Wasn't this a direct provocation to the Sword Sect?
However... maybe Empress Ji is such a woman of deep affection and loyalty, so she is willing to lie dormant for a thousand years to eliminate the Sword Sect.

In just a short moment, the inspector thought a lot.

"She has such a high level of cultivation because she joined the Hades lineage. Since you are going to the Xuanfeng Realm, you should know what the Hades is."

"The Underworld... I only know a little bit." Most of the information was just bits and pieces of trivial information. "I heard that it is a major force in the Xuanfeng Realm, very unpredictable. And it is also relatively closed. It is unknown how many cultivators there are and what their cultivation is."

"I can tell you that in terms of high-level cultivators, the Netherworld is as powerful as a group of noble families combined, or even more powerful. And there are also a lot of low-level cultivators. When I say low-level, I mean the Divine Transformation." Chongji Sword Master said coldly: "Despite this, it is still despised by people in the various spiritual realms."

"Why is that?" Flower Lord asked in confusion. The cultivation world, which values ​​strength, worships powerful forces. Just like the massacre of the Ji Dynasty by the Sword Master Ji Ming, if it happened in the mortal world, it would be a heinous crime that is difficult to describe, but in the cultivation world, it is even more awe-inspiring.

"Because its doctrine is a false doctrine."

"The cultivation method of the Hades lineage does not require talent or understanding, but only merit. Even if a cultivator has not yet realized the Dao Seed, as long as he has enough merit, he can improve his cultivation to the level of Transformation of the Spirit. As long as the merit is sufficient, not only can he transform into a Spirit, but he can also reach the second level of Zhixu and the level of decline. This is a great temptation for those cultivators who have no hope of breaking through the realm."

Yes. In fact, the cultivation of monks is also utilitarian. In the face of life span and cultivation, what is the point of talking about false Taoism or not? Just improve your strength first.

To comprehend the Dao seeds and Dao rhymes requires not only opportunity but also understanding. But in the underworld, as long as you have enough merit, you can break through. This is really too tempting. After hearing what the sword master said, the inspector knew it was harmful, but he couldn't help but be tempted.

"But there is no such good thing in the world. The so-called merit is actually the karma of cause and effect. How can the karma obtained by ordinary methods be squandered by the monks in the underworld? Therefore, they came up with the method of slaughtering living beings to collect death energy to increase karma. Mortals without cultivation have become the best materials in their eyes. After all, mortals reproduce quickly and have no ability to resist."

Rong Qing lowered her eyes.

She was also listening carefully to Chongji's words. She knew Chongji a little, so she was guessing his intention. "Chongji is not a nosy person, but he suddenly mentioned Concubine Ji, and in front of the Inspector and the Flower Lord. It seems that Concubine Ji has some relationship with Cangliuzhou?"

Never mind, let’s just listen to it first.

"These things need to be done by lower-level monks, while higher-level monks can just enjoy the offerings. The so-called higher-level monks are the ones who lead the lower-level monks into the lineage of the underworld. As a reward, they will give a little life span and cultivation to the lower-level monks, so that the lower-level monks can just indulge in earning merits."

"But if low-level cultivators are willing, they can also replace them, right?" Hua Zhu asked softly.

“How can we replace them?” Chongji mocked, “The cultivation techniques of the Hades family already have various means of controlling lower-level cultivators. When the life span and cultivation of lower-level cultivators are controlled by upper-level cultivators, if they have any disloyal thoughts, they will be killed by the upper-level cultivators and all their merits will be taken away.”

The upper monks are like farmers, who cultivate the seedlings properly and use them when they mature. If the seedlings grow crooked, they will be pruned or uprooted. The life and death of the lower monks are in their hands. The lower monks are already inferior to others, so how can they resist?

"Is there no solution to this?" The flower owner felt even colder in his heart when he thought of the white mask.

According to Sword Master Chongji, didn't Imperial Concubine Ji want to train her to become a lower-level cultivator? From then on, the cultivation she had painstakingly cultivated for a thousand years would be at the disposal of Imperial Concubine Ji, and even she herself would become a puppet who obeyed her orders? ! !
She almost, just almost fell into that situation.

"There is a solution. It's not uncommon for the inferior to defeat the superior." The corners of Chongji Sword Master's mouth curled slightly, with a hint of mockery, "First of all, the strength of the inferior cultivator must be far greater than that of the superior cultivator, so that they will not be restricted by their skills. If the strength suddenly increases, it can only be because of a treasure or enlightenment that the superior cultivator finds out. But will a cultivator with both luck and understanding become a inferior cultivator?"

The implication is to forget about it. There is no solution to this problem.

Rong Qing's mind was a little bit tricky, because that was exactly what she was planning to do.

"For lower-level cultivators, the Decline and Tribulation period is the limit. Without enlightenment, it is impossible to achieve the ultimate. The cultivation method of the Hades is originally a side path."

"What is the basis for the superior monk?" Hua Zhulian asked.

"Higher monks? They naturally take the path of comprehending the origin of the Tao. Comprehending the origin of the Tao is extremely difficult, and their own lifespan is often not enough. So they came up with this method, using the lifespan of the fool to nourish themselves."

As for the lower-level monks, they only see the petty profits in front of them and deserve to be exploited.

The Flower Lord smiled bitterly inwardly. It was ironic that the Hades, who said that one only needed merit to break through, actually took the path of enlightenment. It was ridiculous that she herself was also a fool.
