Chapter 560: Daoist Jiang Li, Do You Even Know What You Just Wrote?
“Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about these depressing matters. Actually, you’re not here to find me, but to track down the Destruction Alliance, right?”
“Although I don’t concern myself with worldly affairs, I do know some information about the Destruction Alliance.”
“The Destruction Alliance has eight core members, all demonic path cultivators.”
“They possess recently graduated top students or second-generation heirs. These people have excellent foundations, and with the guidance of Unity Stage cultivators, they quickly rise to the upper echelons of society.”
“The top students become expert talents in certain fields, while the second-generation heirs inherit family businesses and expand enterprises.”
“But these are just surface appearances.”
“The Destruction Alliance involves itself in multiple areas, such as public infrastructure construction, entertainment companies, and so on.”
“They frantically build roads, construct railways, train singers, gaining massive influence in society. Some even call them a public welfare organization, but that’s definitely not their goal. I just don’t know what their true purpose is either.”
“They want to summon the Earthly Immortal monster that destroyed your world,” Jiang Li said from the side.
“What?! Are they insane?” Radiant Enlightenment Daoist and Skeletal Devil Venerable simultaneously erupted in anger, their Tribulation Transcendence Stage pressure terrifying.
In terms of hatred, the thing they hated most in their lives was undoubtedly that Earthly Immortal monster.
Jiang Li casually wiped away the Tribulation Transcendence Stage pressure, allowing Wen Quan and the others to catch their breath.
Jiang Li pointed to his own head: “I’ve been scanning the entire world with my spiritual sense and had long noticed some strange things, like certain companies building roads and railways at any cost. These roads and railways coincidentally form special arrays.”
“The singers are the same. They have singers hold concerts throughout the country, using the singing voices and arrays to resonate, gradually activating the arrays. The singers know nothing about this.”
Wen Qing’er widened her eyes: “Could it be that Zhao Minghan, the male lead I encountered while acting, is also…”
“Yes, the company he belongs to was established by the Destruction Alliance.”
“The intersecting roads and railways form a grand array that can summon that Earthly Immortal monster. This grand array is extremely concealed and advanced, making it unlikely for the Mutual Aid Society to discover it.”
“Bastards! If I had known they were doing something even pigs and dogs wouldn’t do, I would have definitely skinned them to see if they’re human or beasts!” Skeletal Devil Venerable flew into a rage, regretting his previous inaction.
If he had agreed to join the Destruction Alliance, he would have known about these beasts’ plans, and things wouldn’t have developed to this point.
“Senior Jiang, since you already knew, why didn’t you stop them?”
“Why should I stop them? Their road and railway construction won’t be completed for another three months,” Jiang Li countered Wen Quan. He greatly appreciated the Destruction Alliance’s construction spirit, benefiting both country and people.
“…” Wen Quan needed a moment to process and catch up with Jiang Li’s train of thought.
“I asked Bai Hong, oh no, I have some accomplishments in arrays and could tell at a glance that the array constructed by the Destruction Alliance can only summon creatures from this world.”
“I suspect that after the Earthly Immortal monster destroyed your Jingyu World, it didn’t leave but has been wandering through the cosmos. What the Destruction Alliance is doing is opening a door for the Earthly Immortal monster.”
“After three months, when the roads and railways are completed and the Earthly Immortal monster arrives, I’ll take action and erase the monster. Perfect.”
“The Destruction Alliance successfully summons the Earthly Immortal monster, your Qixin World’s infrastructure coverage rate increases, and I kill the monster. Everyone’s goals are achieved.” Jiang Li had considered everything thoroughly, believing all parties would be satisfied with this outcome.
“On behalf of the Destruction Alliance, I thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Since you already know some of this, then your visit to the Mutual Aid Society and coming to the haunted house to find Skeletal Devil Venerable is for…”
“Fun.”
“Oh right, let me see that technique of yours that lets you grow stronger by collecting negative emotions.” Jiang Li expressed interest in this technique, as Commander Huang’s technique was similar but also different.
“Here.” Skeletal Devil Venerable didn’t hold back.
“‘Melancholy Lamenting Heaven Technique,’ so that’s how it works. Wait half an hour – this technique has great potential for improvement.”
Skeletal Devil Venerable looked at Radiant Enlightenment Daoist with questioning eyes, but Radiant Enlightenment Daoist just shrugged, showing no intention to speak.
But half an hour passed, and Jiang Li still showed no sign of starting to write.
Radiant Enlightenment Daoist also couldn’t figure out Jiang Li’s intention. Could it be that this technique was difficult to modify?
Half an hour, one hour, one and a half hours.
A full hour and a half passed before Jiang Li seemed to have figured something out and started writing.
A few minutes later, Jiang Li summarized what he had thought of and wrote it on several sheets of paper.
“Finished.”
“Can I take a look?” Skeletal Devil Venerable felt itching with curiosity, wanting to see what Jiang Li had written.
“Of course, all of you can look.” Jiang Li didn’t mind.
Hearing this, Skeletal Devil Venerable and Radiant Enlightenment Daoist practically pounced on the papers.
Afraid they might not understand, Jiang Li explained from the side: “The ‘Melancholy Lamenting Heaven Technique’ uses negative emotions to unblock meridians, absorb spiritual energy, and strengthen oneself.”
“I was thinking, since negative emotions are a method that can make people stronger, and those who practice this technique also have negative emotions themselves, couldn’t we use the practitioner’s own negative emotions for cultivation?”
“It took me quite some time to figure this out. Under normal circumstances, this amount of time would be enough for me to write three Golden Immortal techniques.”
“Later I finally realized this is feasible.”
“Strip away your own negative emotions to form a new individual, then have this new individual return to your body, and you can become stronger.”
Radiant Enlightenment Daoist and Skeletal Devil Venerable exchanged glances, both seeing the horror in each other’s eyes. Even their souls were trembling.
Radiant Enlightenment Daoist swallowed hard and said: “Fellow Daoist Jiang Li, do you know what you’ve written here?”
“The advanced version of the ‘Melancholy Lamenting Heaven Technique,'” Jiang Li said strangely, not understanding why they were reacting this way.
Skeletal Devil Venerable continued: “My master, that immortal who ascended to the Immortal Realm, once told me that he was fortunate enough to hear the Dao Ancestor’s teachings. Although my master didn’t understand, he remembered them. My master repeatedly analyzed them and discussed with close friends, finally understanding a tiny bit of the Dao Ancestor’s meaning.”
“The Dao Ancestor said the three corpses are divided into upper corpse, middle corpse, and lower corpse, which can also be called good corpse, evil corpse, and self corpse – they correspond to each other.”
“The good corpse represents a person’s goodness, originating from positive emotions. The evil corpse represents the filth in a person’s heart, originating from negative emotions. The self corpse represents a person’s true self, originating from removing falsehood to reveal truth – this is the origin of the term ‘cultivating truth.'”
“Fellow Daoist Jiang Li, these papers of yours describe the part about the evil corpse in the method of severing the three corpses!”
By the end, Skeletal Devil Venerable’s voice was trembling. He felt he had still underestimated this Fellow Daoist Jiang Li.
The two Tribulation Transcendence Stage powerhouses couldn’t help but feel terrified. This Fellow Daoist Jiang Li had comprehended one-third of the three corpse severing cultivation method in just an hour and a half.
Was this even human?
