Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Lian Wuji was overjoyed and followed the girl who was missing one of the bears, skipping and hopping into the courtyard, and then skipping and hopping into the main hall.

However, the closer he got to the main hall, the more uneasy he felt.

This is especially true for those powerful ghosts who entered from the second level of the underworld.

On the contrary, those who are weaker are unaware of the danger.

They looked around, curious about everything.

On the contrary, the strong ones felt their hair stand on end and dared not move forward.

Lian Wuji subconsciously slowed his pace.

As a result, the girl, now missing a bear, suddenly picked up a chain and began whipping many ghosts.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

After several lashes, the ghosts rolled around, screaming in agony, as they rolled toward the main hall in front.

The closer they got to the main hall, the smaller they felt.

Lian Wuji couldn't help himself and muttered subconsciously, "Senior Sister, why is this main hall getting bigger and bigger? What kind of treasure is this?"

The girl chuckled: "These are just some illusion techniques used to increase my prestige; they're nothing special."

Lian Wuji and the others breathed a sigh of relief; they had thought the main hall was a magical treasure.

Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

"But this thing isn't a magical artifact, so why does it still fill me with fear?"

Lian Wuji and the others nervously pushed open the main hall door.

Then they all stood at the door and refused to go in.

The girl, now missing one of the bears, snapped, "What are you all standing there for? Get inside now!"

Lian Wuji and the others sneered and refused to go in.

The boys and girls grew impatient and angrily said, "If you delay your audience of the sutras, you will be committing a heinous crime."

Upon hearing this, Lian Wuji and the other beings had no choice but to bite the bullet and step into the main hall.

As soon as they stepped into the main hall, they saw a figure sitting at the far end of the hall.

This Taoist priest was dressed simply, and his long hair moved without wind.

Judging by appearance alone, this is an absolutely normal cultivator.

If we're on the road, we'll only be nodding acquaintances.

However, the moment they saw the Taoist priest, Lian Wuji and all the other ghosts and monsters had one message in their minds:

[The Flower-Scattering Taoist—Wang Quan—My entire life is contained in "The Flower-Scattering Taoist's Struggle History." Find it, and you will obtain everything I have.]

Wang Quan, the Flower-Scattering Taoist?

A story of struggle?

He's a living being from the real world!

How did I suddenly become the ancestor of this twisted world?

Are you going to preach to us?

Haha, who in our group isn't better than you?

Lian Wuji and the others were disdainful.

However, at that moment, they saw metal pipes extending from behind Wang Quan.

Those pipes, which were initially only as thick as a hair, emerged one after another from his spine.

The pipe simply gets thicker as its length increases.

The pipes are black and gold in color, with a dense network of holes on them.

The sound of gears meshing could be heard from the many holes.

Click!Click!

*Pfft! Pfft!*

As the gears turned, the pipes undulated, and the holes on them spewed out streams of colorful, steam-like smoke.

At the end of the pipe were heads of varying sizes.

These heads have shells that are as if cast in crystal and are completely transparent.

Inside the head, gears of varying sizes were turning.

These gears are half submerged in water and half exposed.

As the gears turn, the water in the brain acts like lubricant, reducing wear on the gears.

As the gears in the head turn faster, colorful steam spews out from the seven orifices on the head.

The slower the gears in your brain turn, the less steam is emitted.

These heads, made of crystals and gears, are so numerous that they cannot be counted at a glance.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

A crystal mechanical head spewed steam, dragging a long pipe as it looked Fei Lian Wuji and the others up and down. After spitting out streams of steam, it cackled strangely, "This batch of newcomers is not bad."

"You didn't faint when you first saw me."

"From now on, I, your ancestor, will definitely give you all a great deal of training."

Upon hearing this, a clever little devil's eyes darted around, he gritted his teeth, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground: "Ancestor, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to faint."

"Ancestor, I am too weak and unworthy to cultivate with you."

"Please, Ancestor, let me go back and adjust my condition before I come back to listen to your profound Taoist scriptures."

King Quan, seated at the far end of the hall, glanced at the pleading ghost and sighed with pity, saying, "Do not grieve."

Upon hearing this, the ghost immediately stopped crying.

The other ghosts rolled their eyes, wanting to kneel down and beg as well.

The next moment, Wang Quan held up two fingers: "In this place, newcomers only have two choices."

"First: Listen attentively to my teachings!"

"Secondly: to become material for everyone's spiritual practice!"

Upon hearing this, the ghost kneeling on the ground immediately stood up: "Ancestor, I feel that listening to your teachings is not bad."

Wang Quan shook his head: "You're not good enough!"

"You were just dizzy, you're not qualified to listen to my teachings."

Upon hearing this, the monster screamed and opened its mouth, spewing out waves of sound that impacted all directions.

The boys and girls sneered, ignoring the sound waves.

Lian Wuji and the others exchanged glances, let out a low roar, stood up and stepped forward, using their methods to blast the sound waves and suppress the monster.

The monster wailed, "What are you doing?"

"You are aiding and abetting a tyrant..."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Lian Wuji rushed forward and leaped up, swatting several large blows at him.

A few slaps later, the monster bled from all seven orifices.

Lian Wuji and the others quickly carried the monster to Wang Quan, saying, "Ancestor, please punish it!"

Wang Quan nodded and snapped his fingers.

The next moment, chains were blown down from the main hall and wrapped around the monster.

The monster struggled and pleaded.

The next moment, the chain slapped it across the face, smashing its mouth open, and only then did the monster behave.

Seeing this, Wang Quan nodded in satisfaction: "Everyone, during the last reset, I gained control of the [Mechanical Emperor's Brain Nerve]."

"This scripture is profound and difficult to understand."

"Although I have gained some understanding, I am not sure if it is right or wrong."

"Therefore, I am expounding this sutra, and you should diligently practice it, so that I may learn from your mistakes."

"You need not worry about practicing incorrectly, because once this small world is reset, everything will return to normal and your lives will not be harmed."

Lian Wuji and the others were puzzled and wanted to ask, but seeing the miserable state of their companion just now, they wisely kept quiet.

Wang Quan read it and thought it was good.

He coughed, shook his head, and said, "Everyone, please sit down."

"I am about to give a sermon."

"When I preach, lotus flowers will surely fall in profusion; do not hide from me."

Lian Wuji rushed to the front and said with a fawning smile, "Ancestor Wang Quan, we will never hide."

Just kidding, a lotus flower can save a hundred years of hard work, how could he bear to avoid it?

The other ghosts, with mixed feelings, also gathered at the front, patting their chests and assuring everyone that nothing bad would happen.

Wang Quan was satisfied: "Good!"

"I'll begin my lecture on 'The Neuroscience of the Mechanical Emperor' now."

"The foundation of this scripture is machinery, it is metal."

"In the era of unification, there are myths within myths, the path to mechanical brains was opened, and a race like the Mechanical Emperor was created."

"Some mechanical emperors believe that flesh and blood are too weak, and that machines are the true path to power."

"Yet another mechanical emperor believes that the combination of flesh and machine is fundamental!"

"The collision of two ideas, each with its own profound mysteries, is fully recorded in—the [Mechanical Emperor's Brain Nerve]."

"Today I will be reciting the scriptures, and I hope you will all study them carefully."

As he spoke, Wang Quan shook his head and started talking incoherently.

His explanations of the scriptures were obscure and difficult to understand.

When Lian Wuji and the others first heard this, they only felt a headache coming on.

Can't understand!

I can't understand a word of it.

Not long after, Wang Quan was seen pointing at the ghost.

The next instant, the monster let out a miserable scream, and its flesh and blood body turned into metal.

Then, these metals spun and crackled, transforming into a giant golden-iron lotus flower.

The golden iron lotus rose into the air and then fell heavily onto Lian Wuji's head.

boom!

The flesh and blood of the Limitless Refiner exploded, revealing stark white bones.

He screamed in agony, rolling on the ground in pain: "Ancestor, that lotus flower hurt so much!"

Wang Quan ignored him and continued to shake his head and explain the Taoist scriptures.

Then, more golden iron lotuses either fell from the sky or emerged from the earth.

The lotus flowers danced and swirled, raining down on Lian Wuji and the others.

Ding ding ding!

The golden iron lotus flowers flying everywhere smashed into the crowd, causing blood and flesh to splatter and scream in agony.

At this moment, coupled with the obscure and difficult-to-understand [Mechanical Emperor's Brain Nerve], Lian Wuji and the others only felt an unbearable headache.

It might be a breath, or it might be a year.

Suddenly, a monster roared, its head cracked open, and then transformed into a giant steel lotus.

Splash! Splash!

The steel lotus rotates, absorbing the golden iron lotuses that fall from the sky.

The next moment, the ghost felt refreshed and its mind was filled with wonder:

"Ancestor, this disciple has understood!"
