Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 327 Speculations about the Daluo Palace

"Master! Do you think what the Great Luo Palace Master said is true or false?"

Under the azure sky, three streaks of light darted through the clouds. Although they moved at great speed, they did not cause any shock waves, and even the clouds they passed did not show any obvious changes.

Unable to contain his doubts, Lu Yu asked Ancestor Mieyang, "Is it possible that sorcerers, demons, and ghosts can all ascend to immortality?"

Wan Ping's eyes flashed with anger, and he sneered, "What do you mean they can do that! They got their inheritance from who-knows-where, and they only came up with this 'spiritual connection' because they're living people!"

Lu Yu remained silent.

On Mount Jishen, there are many ways to increase one's strength. There are ghosts who do not wish to harm others and cultivate their souls purely, as well as those who cultivate by absorbing the power of incense offerings. Naturally, there are also methods of killing to refine souls.

Wan Ping cultivates the third type. Although he has less baleful aura than the members of the Netherfire Cult because he only kills cultivators, his baleful aura is still quite strong.

Of course, they cannot sense the malevolent energy emanating from themselves or others, but they still have a general idea of ​​whether they are doing good or evil, whether their thoughts are clear, and whether their souls are pure.

That's how Lingjun came to know that he was Lingjun.

Ancestor Mieyang remained silent as well. He recalled the Daoist Jingfeng he had seen at the Da Luo Temple on Black Rock Mountain. Although his cultivation and magical power were far inferior to his own, the pure and righteous Yin energy emanating from him was even purer than his own annihilating ghost energy.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even Ancestor Mieyang couldn't have imagined how such Yin energy could exist in the world. This Yin energy didn't contain any divinity, but it carried a solemn and majestic pressure. This was of a higher grade than the divinity condensed from absorbing incense, and it was clearly not afraid of Yang energy at all.

What kind of yin energy is this? How was it cultivated? Does it really require a completely transparent soul?
Ancestor Mieyang stretched out his hand, a faint light flashing at his fingertips, within which wisps of dark energy emerged.

"From now on, no more killings or soul-refining are allowed on Mount Jishen." Ancestor Mieyang said calmly, then added, "No ordinary people or innocent mages may be killed. Those who commit evil deeds or willingly seek death are not counted."

"Yes!" Lu Yu replied immediately.

Wan Ping naturally dared not argue with Ancestor Mieyang, but instead asked a question that went straight to the point, "Since all the gods in the Spirit Realm are demons, where do the gods worshipped in the Great Luo Palace come from? Are they from another Spirit Realm, or...?"

Wan Ping said quietly, "The Demon Realm?"

Lu Yu couldn't help but retort, "But their actions are completely different from those of demons, and their banner is to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. They even managed to destroy the demon-possessed Netherfire Cult Master and restore Black Rock Mountain, which had been transformed into a demon realm."

Wan Ping shook his head. "It might not be just a bluff, an attempt to cover up the truth. Perhaps they are hiding something very well?"

Lu Yu frowned, but before he could speak, Ancestor Mieyang waved his hand, interrupting the argument between the two, "The gods of the Spirit Realm are all demons, there are no humans among them. You know this, but True Monarch Tianchen knows it even better than you do."

"But did you see if True Monarch Tianchen showed any doubt?" Ancestor Mieyang asked.

Wan Ping and Lu Yu looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, "No."

“That is naturally the case.” Ancestor Mieyang said calmly, “He didn’t question it, so it’s not your place to question it. Moreover, humans and demons are completely different. The gods they worship are human, while the gods worshipped by the Netherfire Sect are demons. This cannot be changed.”

……

Meanwhile, True Lord Tianchen was also on his way back to Chaoyang Island with Xu Yan and Qiao Qian'er.

"Island Master, do you think what that Grand Luo Palace Master said is true or false?" Xu Yan asked the same question.

"Are you sure about the cultivation levels of those experts in the Great Luo Palace?" True Monarch Tianchen asked rhetorically. Qiao Qian'er chuckled, while Xu Yan scratched his head. "Their cultivation levels are certainly real, but the many human deities they worship, and the names of those deities are so prestigious... something just doesn't feel right."

Tianchen Zhenjun glanced at him and said, "Have you ever thought about why only humans possess intelligence from childhood, while ordinary demons only awaken their intelligence after becoming spirits? Why do demons transform into human form after becoming spirits? Why does the cultivation speed increase when demons and humans unite?"

Xu Yan swallowed hard, looking slightly bewildered. "Isn't this just common sense?"

"Of course, since that's the case, don't you think that humans are actually more suited to cultivation than demons?" True Monarch Tianchen asked. "Otherwise, why would we transform into humans?"

Xu Yan couldn't answer. What should have been a matter of course seemed rather strange when asked by True Monarch Tianchen.

"Then why is that?" Xu Yan asked.

"Because humans are indeed more suited to cultivation than demons," True Monarch Tianchen said calmly. "You feel something is wrong simply because your bloodline is thin and you know little."

Xu Yan refused to accept this, saying, "Even if my bloodline is weak, I still have a chance to ascend to the Spirit Realm!"

“However, your inheritance will be somewhat lacking.” True Monarch Tianchen glanced at Xu Yan. “If your bloodline is rich, you will have the opportunity to accidentally see some scenes engraved in the bloodline inheritance by the gods of the spirit realm during your cultivation.”

Xu Yan, being quite intelligent, immediately asked, "Are there humans in those images?"

True Monarch Tianchen nodded. "They are very powerful humans."

Qiao Qian'er asked curiously, "How powerful is it?"

"The image is rather blurry." Tianchen Zhenjun seemed to be recalling what he had seen at the time, "but it should be an ancient human standing on the earth, wearing animal skins, holding a bow and arrow, shooting down nine suns."

Even though it was just a blurry image reflected in his bloodline memories, Tianchen Zhenjun still seemed to feel that terrifying pressure that penetrated deep into his bloodline, as if he were the one facing those nine arrows.

"So there are human gods in the spirit world too?" Xu Yan naturally couldn't understand what True Monarch Tianchen was thinking, and continued to ask, "If that's the case, why don't you ever pass on your teachings?"

Tianchen Zhenjun glanced at Xu Yan and said, "How would I know? Besides, whether it's cultivation methods or ascension to the Spirit Realm, they are all inheritances we obtained from our bloodline. Even if we wanted to contact the gods of the Spirit Realm, we couldn't."

Qiao Qian'er guessed, "So it's also possible that they couldn't pass on the method before, but now they can?"

Xu Yan chimed in, "That Grand Luo Palace Master mentioned entering dreams to transmit magic?"

Qiao Qian'er nodded. "Possibly."

Xu Yan suddenly realized, "No wonder we have the method of binding; it turns out humans are quite amazing."

Qiao Qian'er then looked at True Lord Tianchen, "Since there is a method of union, demons and humans are not enemies. Then the Great Luo Palace and our Chaoyang Island are friends, not enemies?"

“Those whose inheritance is incomplete and who have no hope of ascension naturally have no scruples.” True Monarch Tianchen nodded. “We, Chaoyang Island, have the inheritance of the upper realm, so we cannot act recklessly.”

Xu Yan and Qiao Qian'er immediately understood.
