Huang Tong smiled enigmatically.

"If you understand this, you're at least more astute than Guan Caishun and the others."

"However, you will eventually have to understand what you should understand."

"Who knows if that sinister thing might suddenly decide to turn against you someday?"

"Having more intelligence on hand will give us a better chance of dealing with her."

"Remember when I mentioned to you where the silk weaver came from?"

Tian Tong nodded:

"The ancestors of the Immortal Sect destroyed the ancient Heavenly Corpse Path and obtained seven Netherworld inheritances and thirteen Corpse Demon techniques, one of which is the method of raising silk weavers."

"The newly deceased female corpse was summoned back to life using the 'Secret Method of the Yin Ghosts Carrying the Coffin,' and then fed with a Soul-Returning Pill."

"Once the forty-nine yang souls within the body are gathered, a body of three yin and two yang will be formed, which is equivalent to the initial perfection of corpse cultivation."

"To prevent the yin energy from gaining the upper hand, the silk weaver must regularly consume the Resurrection Pill to maintain the yang energy in her body."

"However, in order to prevent the yang fire from bursting through the yin body, it is necessary to use the 'True Method of Pulling Silk to Stabilize Yang' to condense excess yang energy into pulling silk threads and expel it from the body, repeating this process until..."

Huang Tong smiled and said:

"Until the court no longer needs them."

Ultimately, the puppet-pulling silk is not a necessary item for cultivators.

"Master did have a need for silk threads, but it's been a hundred years. The necessary silk threads have long been collected, and there's no need to waste souls to support these superfluous fellows."

"Several years ago, Master planned to get rid of the first generation of silk weavers who could only swallow and spit out silk threads."

She gave a cold laugh:

"Take a guess what our Holy Maiden said back then?"

Tendo did not hesitate:

"Of course I agree."

Huang Tong slapped his firm thigh and laughed wildly:

"Exactly! She was fortunate enough to be favored by her master and rose from a mere corpse cultivator to become the sixth true disciple of the Hall of Longevity. She turned around and forgot about her sisters who had suffered the torment of Yang Fire with her in the past."

"In her eyes, the silk weavers had witnessed the most wretched years of her life; how could she allow them to live?"

Tian Tong sighed softly:

"Fortunately, Senior Sister, you have the virtue of compassion, which gave them the opportunity to continue their lives and make further contributions to the Immortal Sect."

Huang Tong smiled and said:

"At that time, I had only been practicing the Hidden Mist Concealment Technique for a short time, and I had wasted a lot of mist. My master didn't give me a good look during that period."

"Intending to atone for my sins, I suggested to my master that since these silk weavers had been consuming resurrection pills for many years, they had accumulated so many remnants of their souls within their bodies..."

This time, she made no attempt to hide her smile:

"Why not make the most of everything?"

"Thus, at my suggestion, the second-generation Silk Weaver was born, capable of autonomously transforming the remnants of her soul into the boundless mist."

"Although the amount of mist produced is not large, it is enough to fill the gap I created earlier."

"The remaining souls within the new batch of silk weavers have been diluted, and their lifespans are now half again as long as their predecessors."

"Since they can produce resources more important than silk threads for the palace, they will not be easily abandoned."

She raised the golden bell in her hand:

"For this, my master praised me for my pure and kind nature, saying I had the demeanor of an ancient cultivator, and that's why he bestowed this Soul-Capturing Bell upon me."

Tian Tong naturally wouldn't ask how the true disciples transformed the silk weavers into being able to produce the Unstable Mist independently.

As far as he knew, all the corpse cultivators on the third floor who had contributed to this matter had disappeared without a trace afterward.

Chen Caimin, Guan Caishun, and others were thus given the opportunity to be quickly promoted and rise to become mid-level figures in the court.

He himself is also a beneficiary, so why would he talk so much just to satisfy his curiosity?

Huang Tong was in high spirits, but he always needed someone to answer his questions.

Seeing his silence, he spoke to himself:

"When the talisman array was inscribed on the silk weavers that day, that sinister Sixth Brother strongly opposed inscribing the content about transforming into mist, saying that the materials must not be allowed to have a chance to escape."

"But I insisted on my own opinion and argued with her all the way to my master's seat, finally granting the Silk Weavers the ability to escape into the mist. Do you know why?"

Tiantong pondered for a moment, then his pupils widened slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief:

"That's precisely what's happening today!"

Huang Tong smiled and said:

"Junior brother is truly intelligent and insightful."

"In various parts of the northern foothills of the Changsheng Palace, there are still countless cave dwellings left behind by the Heavenly Corpse Path."

"These caves contain at least a thousand years old Netherworld cultivation techniques."

"Even acquiring just one of them would greatly help complete the lineage of our temple!"

"You've led your junior brothers, who are in the middle stage, to explore some of the cave ruins that don't have such deep roots, but so far you haven't gained much."

"That's because those places that are of the greatest weight and can be called secret realms will only appear before those whose physiques match."

"The Heavenly Corpse Path has seven paths and thirteen methods, with the most important being the Corpse-Nourishing and Resurrection Path, which uses silk weavers as materials."

"Many secret realms are heavily fortified, and only the Weaver Girl can open the door."

"Like... a secret realm in the secluded forest beyond the sea of ​​fog."

Tiantong remained silent, pondered for a long time, and then said:

"No wonder that female cultivator stopped before she left."

"She finally understood. From beginning to end, there was no way out left for her; she was merely the key to open the portal to the secret realm!"

Huang Tong smiled and said:

"Don't think the worst of us. Maybe she's opened the door to a secret realm, but the consequences won't be fatal?"

"Anyway, the palace has never made a similar attempt. The first generation of silk weavers were full of lingering, melancholy souls, and their lifespans were short, not to mention they could not even walk on the ground."

"I only managed to release that female cultivator because I took advantage of the fact that I publicly announced my seclusion and the sixth brother lowered his guard against me."

A cunning glint flashed in her eyes:

"That golden bell just now was also to remind her not to disregard her status and try to stop that female cultivator."

"In any case, now that the female cultivator has escaped, she will likely be drawn to the secret realm hidden in the dense forest soon."

"What you need to do is to quickly promote a group of mid-stage cultivators who know how to fight, and prepare to plunder the secret realm."

"My master has lived for over a hundred years, and what he values ​​most is completing the lineage of the Netherworld lineage of my palace."

"If he sees results from this lesson, and when he encounters a sufficiently significant secret realm in the future that requires the Weaver of Silk to open the door, he won't care about any saintly figure!"

Tian Tong was not surprised by Huang Tong's heartfelt expression.

As a disciple of a celestial sect and a true disciple of the hall, one would certainly not do good deeds.

However, if such a person suddenly starts doing good deeds, it means that at that moment, the benefits of doing good deeds far outweigh those of doing evil.

Tiantong had long seen through everything, so he had no psychological burden whatsoever, regardless of whether his actions were good or evil in the eyes of others.

Why do those orthodox sects in the South always talk about benevolence, righteousness, morality, friendship, and mutual assistance? Isn't it because it benefits them to keep these things on their lips?

When he reached the middle stage of cultivation, he was personally summoned by the Palace Master, whose words of encouragement still resonate in his ears:

The great way has always been about self-cultivation; do not talk about morality or the law of cause and effect.

Only a touch of immortality is truly genuine!
