Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 355: Chapter 235: Attitude_3

Ancient Spiritual Treasures, although they can also serve as vessels for Corpse Resolution, resemble more like the Artifact Spirits, akin to lonely ghosts and wandering spirits. Ten Thousand Tribulations Yin Spirits find it hard to ascend to sainthood; thereafter, their potentiality is completely exhausted, and they can no longer hold out hope for advancing to higher realms.

Therefore, if there is a choice, the best would be to resolve the corpse by using Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects, like those used by the one Confucian and three Buddhists of the Four Sects. Apart from this Supreme Elder who uses an Ancient Immortal Artifact, the Corpse Resolution vessels of the other four sect leaders are all Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects.

But now…

This person acts extremely domineering, not only seeking to ban the use of Five Viscera Pills, but also desiring to scour the world for Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects, leaving only the way of Ancient Spiritual Treasures.

What can they do?

Could it be that they would mobilize the strength of the Four Sects to fight against him?

If they could do that, would he still be sitting here, making concessions over and over again?

Well then, it doesn’t matter. Corpse Resolution at the Nascent Soul level is still Corpse Resolution. As long as they can gather nine people for Ascension, who cares about the future?

After all, he already has an Immortal Artifact to rely on, and his disciple Li Qiankun, along with the three Buddhist monks, have long possessed bodies of Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects. As for the next four Corpse Resolution cultivators that he would support, shouldn’t they just feel lucky to be chosen, rather than being picky and choosy?

Having pondered for a while, Meng Fuyao was already prepared to agree.

But while he was prepared, he still expressed some doubts on his face, “Ancient relics are fraught with peril!”

Xu Yang smiled and retorted, “What in the world is without danger?”

“…”

Such a response left Meng Fuyao speechless.

He had intended to bargain further, but the person before him simply left no room for that.

Indeed, Ancient Secret Treasures are extremely perilous, concealing many Demon Objects, as well as ancient formations, prohibited techniques. Even Corpse Resolution explorers could potentially perish.

But… are the Ancient Secret Treasures perilous, and White Jade Capital is not?

Now there are only two choices: either desecrate the Ancient Sects’ graves or fight to the death with White Jade Capital. Choose one.

Such hooliganism, such tyranny!

But a person indeed possesses the hooligan’s power and the tyrant’s capital.

Meng Fuyao had no choice but to say, “Since the creation of the Corpse Resolution Immortal Law, most Ancient Secret Treasures that could be easily explored have already been unearthed by the world. What remains are deadly, and we will need the help of our Daoist friend.”

“Of course.”

Xu Yang nodded and said calmly, “As long as you all keep your word, refrain from practicing the Five Viscera Elixir Skills and from seizing Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects, I am willing to lead the exploration of the Ancient relics and ensure to gather the number needed for your Corpse Resolution.”

“If that’s the case… let’s follow what you’ve said!”

Meng Fuyao spoke with a heavy tone, then added, “But I must state beforehand that we can only control our own sect disciples. As for other Loose Cultivators, we can’t ensure their compliance or forbid them. If you have grand ambitions, you will have to act personally.”

With those words, he handed off a hot potato.

Five Viscera Human Pills and Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects are not only essential for Corpse Resolution but also for cultivation.

Cultivators in this world, even if they have not reached the Corpse Resolution Realm, also need to consume Five Viscera Pills and rely on Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects to dispel Demonic Qi, lest they risk falling into demonic possession.

Now, White Jade Capital seeks to ban the use of the Five Viscera Pill formula and to monopolize all Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects. Isn’t that pushing all cultivators in the world toward a deadly predicament?

The disciples of the Four Sects are fine; they have the accumulations of the sects’ potentiality and their several Corpse Resolution Cultivators above them to sustain them for a century or two. Once they’ve gathered enough for Corpse Resolution and have the entire sect ascend, they can escape this plight.

But what about those Loose Cultivators?

They have no hope of Ascension. Even without pursuing Corpse Resolution or higher realms, they still need to consume Five Viscera Pills and use Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects to survive.

With White Jade Capital taking such extreme actions, aren’t they afraid that the countless Loose Cultivators will fight desperately against them and even fully embrace Demon Transformation to bring about mutual destruction?

“I am barefoot and not afraid of you who wear shoes; even if you are beyond my reach, I can still cause turmoil under your rule.”

Even if White Jade Capital is mighty, can it suppress the entire world? Loose Cultivators may not have Corpse Resolution, but those at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages are numerous, and they possess the means for Demon Transformation, willing to face mutual destruction. Previously, the major Corpse Resolution Sects all had to give way, providing a certain environment for survival. Now that you are taking such drastic measures, are you really not afraid that someone will assault your gates and desperately use Demon Transformation against you?

Meng Fuyao was very curious.

Xu Yang, however, was unconcerned, “I have mastered Shen Tianji and have a method to counter Demon Transformation. In due course, I will introduce various substitutes that will take the place of the Five Viscera Pills, in conjunction with the ban.”

“Oh?”

Meng Fuyao’s eyes sharpened, “You have such an achievement, superior to the Five Viscera Elixir Skills?”

Xu Yang shook his head, “For now, the effects are slightly inferior, and even less so compared to Demon Transformation Spiritual Objects.”

Meng Fuyao frowned, “In that case, the Loose Cultivators of the world may find it difficult to accept.”

“If they do not accept, then kill!”

Xu Yang’s expression was unchanged as he said coldly, “I have offered a way to live, a margin for survival. If they still remain obstinate and pursue a course leading to their death, then I can only fulfill their wishes.”

Meng Fuyao: “…”
