I'm in the Demonic Sect, but my cultivation techniques are being used for palace intrigue!

When the "Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique" uttered the word "Heavenly Dao," Zhu Jingguang, who was peering at the contents of the virtual panel, couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

In the novels he read in his previous life, any novel involving "the Way of Heaven" always had a lot of trouble...

This made Zhu Jingguang feel worried about the future of this world... and of course, his own future!

Meanwhile, within the space, the exchange of techniques such as the "Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique" continued...

[The Yin-Yang Revolving Daily Yang-Gathering Scripture: "The Heavenly Dao? Are you kidding me? When a being cultivates our techniques as its primary cultivation method, and that being achieves Foundation Establishment, will our techniques receive memories from the Heavenly Dao? It's just Foundation Establishment... I remember, let alone Foundation Establishment, even Nascent Soul or Deity Transformation seem unlikely to reach the level of the Heavenly Dao, right?"]

[The Yin-Yang Reincarnation Sutra: "To touch upon the Heavenly Dao... it must be at least at the Mahayana or Tribulation Transcending level, right?"]

[Heart-Eating Control Technique: "There are no more Mahayana or Tribulation Transcending techniques!"]

[The Yin-Yang Cycle: Daily Yang-Gathering Meridian: "What?"]

At this moment, not only the "Yin-Yang Reversal Daily Yang Absorption Scripture," but also the other practitioners present did not understand the meaning of "Heart-Eroding and Soul-Controlling Technique"!

[The Soul-Eating Technique: "In reality, let alone the Mahayana or Tribulation Transcending stages, even the Nascent Soul stage... its very existence is still purely theoretical!"]

[All practitioners: "What?"]

At this moment, many cultivation techniques were truly astonished—did the Nascent Soul stage even exist... or was it merely a theoretical concept? How could this be?

  

[Heavenly Demon Joyful Seal: "The Nascent Soul stage is still only theoretical? What about the Nascent Soul chapter in my cultivation technique, and the cultivation techniques for the stages beyond Nascent Soul?"]

[Heavenly Demon Joyful Seal: "Even if you're going to make up a story to fool us, at least make it believable, right?"]

[Heart-Eating Control Technique: "I really didn't make this up... Didn't I say before that a drastic change occurred a hundred years ago? All the changes started from that time!"]

[Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "In short, I'm not entirely clear on the specifics. I only know that in this world, the strongest are at the Nascent Soul stage. As for the Deity Transformation and subsequent parts of your cultivation methods... they simply cannot be cultivated in this world—of course, you will understand these things later!"]

[Heart-Eating Control Technique: "Let's get back to the fact that there are only nine Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Demonic Sect!"]

[Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "As I said before, there are over five hundred people in the Demonic Sect who have reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage, but currently there are only nine Foundation Establishment cultivators. That's because these Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivators simply cannot raise the 'activity' of their cultivation techniques to the point where they can communicate with the cultivator... and seize the origin of heaven and earth for the cultivator, helping them achieve the Foundation Establishment body!"]

[The Soul-Eroding Technique: "The vast majority of cultivators who break through the Qi Refining Perfection limit and should have achieved Foundation Establishment are essentially stopped at this step!"]

[Heavenly Demon Joyful Seal: "Wait... Someone told us before that to break through to the Qi Refining Perfection stage and achieve Foundation Establishment, one needs something called the 'Foundation Fruit'... So according to you, the 'Foundation Fruit' is useless? After all, if the cultivation technique's 'activity' isn't high enough, it's impossible to achieve Foundation Establishment. If that's the case, why are so many people still seeking the 'Foundation Fruit'?"]

[Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "...The 'Foundation Fruit' is a rare and precious material used to enhance the 'activity' of cultivation techniques! With such a treasure, how could those cultivators who have reached the peak of Qi Refining not fight over it?"]

[Heavenly Demon Joyful Seal: "But that person said..."]

[Mind-Eroding and Soul-Controlling Technique: "Forget about what that person said—the person who told you that either doesn't understand the true function of the 'Foundation Fruit,' or they didn't intend to tell you the truth!"]

Upon hearing the words "Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique," all the cultivators present fell silent. They felt that whether the Great Sun Sword was unaware of the true function of the "Foundation Fruit" or simply had no intention of telling their master the truth, both seemed highly plausible possibilities!

After all, the Great Sun Sword himself was only a Qi Refining Stage 6 cultivator, so it was quite possible that he didn't know the true function of the Foundation Establishment Fruit. Furthermore, given the malice the Great Sun Sword had shown towards their master, it was understandable that he wouldn't tell them the truth!

[In that case, they can no longer analyze the problem based on the information they obtained from the Great Sun Sword...]

[The Yin-Yang Cycle and the Classic of Harmonizing Yang: "We want to know... Does the 'Foundation Fruit' exist in the 'Langya Realm'?"]

[Heart-Eating Control Technique: "The 'Langya Realm' is indeed the most renowned place for producing 'Foundation Fruits'!"]

[The Yin-Yang Cycle and the Daily Yang-Gathering Classic: "Are there any restrictions on entering the 'Langya Realm'?"]

[The Soul-Controlling Technique: "It does have limitations—only cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining can enter the 'Langya Realm' to seek opportunities!"]

[The Yin-Yang Revolving Sutra of Daily Yang Gathering: "But isn't the 'Foundation Fruit' a treasure used only when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage? Why is it only open to cultivators in the mid-stage of Qi Refining? Logically, shouldn't those in the late-stage of Qi Refining be the ones who need it?"]

[Heart-Eating Control Technique: "Because the secret realm of 'Langya Realm'... or rather, a small world, is somewhat fragile and simply cannot withstand the attacks of cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining. To prevent those cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining from destroying the secret realm that possesses such treasures, the Demonic Sect has specifically stipulated that only cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining are allowed to enter!"]

[The Soul-Controlling Technique: "Therefore, those aspiring to Foundation Establishment or late-stage Qi Refining cultivators will in advance recruit stronger Qi Refining Level 6 cultivators from the outer sect, asking them to enter the Langya Realm and find this item for them!"]

[Heavenly Demon Joyful Seal: "Late stage of Qi Refining? There are over five hundred Qi Refining Perfection cultivators in the Demonic Sect. How dare a mere late stage Qi Refining cultivator snatch such a treasure from the jaws of death and compete with these Qi Refining Perfection cultivators?"]

[Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "Those late-stage Qi Refining cultivators who dare to compete with Qi Refining Perfection cultivators for opportunities are basically Qi Refining Ninth Level cultivators. After all, although the strength gap between them and Qi Refining Perfection cultivators is large, it doesn't mean they are completely powerless. Even against those cultivators who have broken through the Qi Refining Perfection limit but failed to achieve Foundation Establishment, the same applies!"]

[Heart-Eating and Soul-Controlling Technique: "And this is why the battles within the Langya Realm are particularly fierce every time the 'Foundation Fruit' ripens!"]
