It must be said, Lu Qilang’s appearance this time made Jiang Wang, who was already treading on thin ice, suddenly feel his life hanging by a thread.
The black lotus patterns on that monk’s bald head gave him a whole new understanding of the demon clan and Monster Realm Buddhism. He increasingly felt that Mo Yun City, with a Descendant of Heavenly Demon seated, might be more complicated than imagined.
He increasingly affirmed... the many intrigues had quietly gathered without him noticing.
Has the Heavenly Will of the Monster Realm quietly stirred the fate of the Long River?
Could my own dead-end be right in front, and yet I have not seen it?
From that strong Demon King Lu Qilang, to the black lotus monk, and even the massive force lurking like deep-sea reefs behind the black lotus monk...
In this city, something is certainly happening, and he remains ignorant!
If he were a genius born in this world, he would not be so dull!
Yet he is an outsider. The exclusion of this world is pervasive, and what he hears, sees, and feels is too limited.
To find a way to break through, to find that thread of vitality, he still needs to rely on the power of the demon clan in this realm.
But now, the path has already shown its divergence.
The Faceless Sect, controlled by Yuan Laoxi, has a bottleneck, a bottleneck in those inevitable experiences during the development of the sect. When a small sect and small religion develop to a certain scale, they must face the forces on the official side. They have to deal with dominators like the Mo Yun Spider Family and Jilei Niu Clan.
Not to mention that the Faceless Sect doesn’t take blood meals or torture followers, but instead guides followers towards goodness, which should be an orthodox church. The division between orthodox church and cult is not entirely determined by this; Yuan Laoxi lacks the right to speak, and a weak entity seizing faith is deemed evil!
And the deity worshipped by him, the Faceless God, ultimately does not truly possess the great power of the Ancient Yama God. Behind the Faceless Sect, there doesn’t exist a massive force behind the black lotus evil Buddha. Even within the entire Faceless Sect, he, as the only presentable battle strength, dare not show his face.
Pig Dali’s path of divine extinction and ghost slaying also faces bottlenecks, and the bottleneck has appeared. Venturing alone in the night, he could encounter the lurking Evil Beasts in the shadows at any time. Organizations similar to this black lotus evil Buddha likely aren’t singular within the Monster Realm. Taiping Dao is also an empty shell, forcing Pig Dali to fight alone.
Today he could lower the god arrives seal to save Pig Dali, but tomorrow might not be so fortunate. There will eventually be mighty figures that even his personal intervention cannot resolve.
With the three carriages constructed by the demon clan charging to this point, Jiang Wang looked back and found that, surprisingly, Chai Asi’s path had the most promise. Although this fellow has prematurely started to expand, with some beating and adjustments, he can still be managed.
Chai Asi had no previous record of wrongdoing, and after joining the Fruit and Flower Club, he did not act as cruelly as the former Yuan Yong. From the Jin Yang Martial Arts Association, he began to emerge and enter the sight of the broader demon clan...
This is a typical path of civilian genius rising, the glorious and legitimate route for climbing social structure in the current societal framework.
If nothing goes awry, he will be accepted by the Flower and Fruit Club, Moyun Ape Family, Mo Yun City, and even the entire upper world of the demon clan.
It can even be said, Jiang Wang himself in the real world followed such a path. From a rural youth, he grew into a Hegemony Country Marquis, now reassessing Chai Asi inevitably evokes different feelings.
What is the essence of society?
What is the core of the national system?
These grand questions may not have a completely correct answer. But the thoughts expressed from these questions are a recognition of the world’s essence.
What is true?
What is reason?
Each transcendent cultivator, in the process of climbing higher, must be standing on a solid foundation of recognition.
While there may not be an "absolute truth" applicable to all Four Seas, there must be a distinctive and clear self.
Jiang Wang, hidden in the Mirror World, is also using his observations and reflections in the Monster Realm to engage in the cultivation of the "Dao", approaching that elusive and profound realm.
Pig Dali sealing his blade for a month doesn’t have much impact. First, after this period of devouring, his spirit has recovered quickly. Second, the large quantity of ownerless divine power seized after incinerating that black lotus monk is enough for him to digest for several days.
It’s precisely from digesting this divine power that he profoundly realized the vast and unpredictable nature of the black lotus evil Buddha organization, prompting him to decisively seal his blade.
The spirit has recovered about seventy to eighty percent, but the wounds of the Golden Frame and Jade Marrow remain a problem.
Truly as jade is difficult to make whole once shattered, and gold is hard to repair once lacking.
Despite continuous daily conditioning, to date the flesh body is still less than twenty percent restored.
Jiang Wang even considered going out with a disguised face, pretending to be a Taiping Judge or something, to plunder some young demon geniuses of the demon clan, seizing some precious materials back... Rationality prevails after all.
Thus, he takes deep breaths and gathers his thoughts, while digesting divine power and restoring his spirit, he also turns attention to Chai Asi.
...
Outside Chai Asi’s small courtyard, the sound of knocking resounded.
At this moment, Chai Asi was bare-chested, practicing sword in the courtyard. With serious and meticulous moves like chopping, stabbing, and lifting, sweat drenched his body, and his blood surged.
Although he is a lazy and slippery fellow with many bad habits, having endured hardship and poverty, he knows opportunities are hard to come by.
No matter how much he swells, no matter how aimless and laissez-faire, he still puts effort into his practice.
Otherwise, the Hundred Trials Thousand Tribulations Invincible Golden Body passed on by the great Ancient God, he wouldn’t be able to achieve. That’s a skill hammered out through self-abuse, entirely self-torture.
"Who?"
He didn’t stop his sword, only asking aloud.
Now he has cultivated a bit of demeanor, his words and actions begin to approach that of a true Destiny Monster.
