1019: Chapter 629_2 1019: Chapter 629_2 But their cultivation methods are all crooked and heretical!
Eryao, curious about how they cultivated, stealthily searched a Taoist’s storage bag!
Inside, he found several books, talismans, magic artifacts, a peach wood sword, and many wooden tokens!
These wooden tokens, all carved with the image of Guandi, were not yet infused with souls, and were just ordinary wooden tokens!
Opening the cover of one book, it read “Cultivation of Yin Method”; the covers of the other books, when looked at one by one, one was “Talisman Collection”.
Another was “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Method”, and yet another was “How to Cultivate a Golden Core”?
Inside the talismans were Soul Capturing Talisman, Yin Absorbing Talisman, Repairing Talisman, Healing Talisman, Ghost Summoning Talisman, Space Talisman, and Ghost Fire Talisman.
Those magic artifacts were merely possessed with a bit of Spiritual Power, not particularly useful, but still sinister tools for messing with ordinary people.
Eryao really wanted to render the person’s magic artifacts useless but still restrained himself!
Opening the “Cultivation of Yin Method”, just a glance was enough; it was nothing more than refining magic, using the power of ghosts, absorbing the Yin Energy within, which would increase his ability to summon ghosts.
This was a book about controlling ghosts to harm humans, absorbing the Soul Power offered by humans to become a part of the cultivator’s power, enhancing their Soul Power!
This is a harmful book for the human soul, a sinister book due to their abilities, also known as wishers who could offer their Soul Power!
Eryao understood it as a book that exploited human psychology, transforming what they received, and then offering their Soul Power!
As for how it operates?
He still needed to observe that!
He then opened the “Yin Yang Dual Cultivation Method”, and seeing a few pages, felt it was very uncomfortable to the eyes, full of male and female illustrations, all quite spicy for the eyes!
Eryao was not truly a youth; he was a Divine Dragon, and quite innocent regarding such matters, to the extent that such books could make him blush!
He really wanted to burn the book with a fire, but he still suppressed the impulse!
Opening and looking through the book, quickly flipping through pages, it was all about men and women dual cultivating and obtaining the power of Yin and Yang during the process.
This kind of cultivation only appeared in heretical sects.
Eryao understood it as something akin to the crooked and heretical individuals in the Cultivation World, who sought suitable candidates through dual cultivation methods; women who were Yin could become cauldrons for Immortal cultivators!
Maybe this was the reason for the eye-watering activities in those courtyards, all for such cultivation?
Such cultivation methods were always disdained by righteous individuals, crooked and heretical, though they might also achieve success in cultivation, but they would only become the target of attack by righteous cultivators!
What Guandi Cult was doing was precisely such crooked and heretical practices.
To think they were unmanaged in Eternal Star, having headquarters and branches in so many nations of Eternal Star!
They must have harmed countless people, dying hundreds of times would not make them innocent!
Eryao was already prepared to take control of the people in those courtyards, kill them, and eliminate all Taoist priests and followers of the Taoist Temple!
Looking again at “How to Cultivate a Golden Core”, the book was not about cultivating a golden core; it was about making golden cores, so-called fake medicine!
He looked at the ingredients for making golden cores, which contained a lot of harmful substances.
These substances being sold as golden cores, when consumed, immediately boosted spirit, vitality, and physical strength!
Believing the golden cores to be effective, but in reality, they had side effects, causing addiction in those who ate them, and leading to listlessness without them!
Yawning, mental decay, and renewed vitality after consuming more golden cores – such excessive consumption could shorten one’s lifespan!
The book also mentioned that these golden cores might not be meant for their consumption but were for those in need of them.
Desiring to live for hundreds or thousands of years, they sought to become immortals by eating these golden cores!
Eryao guessed that the State Preceptor was letting the Emperor consume these golden cores, thinking they were powerful, but in reality, they were shortening his lifespan!
“Talisman Manufacturing Encyclopedia” contained nothing more than some common talismans; he was not impressed, but they were useful against ordinary people and ghosts, because in this world, ghosts have not yet become Ghost Cultivators!
Unlike the Cultivation World, the ghosts controlled by Guandi Cult, though they might be Fierce Ghosts and resentful spirits, only served to control ordinary people and bring harm to them.
In Eternal Star, the highest ability Guandi Cult might have is that of their Sect Hierarch, who possesses the cultivation of a Golden Core!
This cultivation of a Golden Core, who knows how many people he has harmed and how much Soul Power he has absorbed?
How much power of Yin and Yang absorbed to achieve the cultivation of a Golden Core!
Eryao had such a thought at this moment, wanting to flay them and strip away their Cultivation!
No one realized at first that those he controlled in the yards couldn’t leave, trapped and unable to go out!
Silently, it came to the time for cooking and eating!
Those outside cooking, couldn’t deliver the food inside, and when the master inside allowed the outside people to bring food in, they found they couldn’t call anyone in!
The Sect Hierarch began to feel something was amiss, and immediately reached under his water bed to control his distant Storage Bag.
He quickly put on his clothes and the Magic Artifact, with the Storage Bag already in hand, ready to use Magic Artifacts and Talismans to fight enemies at any moment.
He was sensing danger, for no one before had ever silently taken control of a place right before him, this was absolutely a skilled opponent who understood Arrays!
His pride had never allowed him to believe that there could be someone in this country more formidable than him!
He had previously set up defenses, and the Divine Sect had been operating here for years without ever feeling this heart-pounding fear!
The women, sensing something amiss, became frantic and quickly began to dress!
Just like in this yard, the people in those two other yards also realized something was wrong!
They shouted and yelled, but their voices could not reach the outside!
As the Sect Hierarch, when an emergency occurred, he immediately began to silently cast secret signals, soundless and unseen!
At this moment, he felt a twinge of fear, wanting to flip the bed plank and enter the secret passage, but flipping the plank was like hitting a wall blocking the passage; he was repelled each time he tried to enter!
He forcefully collided with the secret passage, the greater the force he used, the stronger the rebound, which left him with agonizing internal injuries!
Feeling bodily pain and the sting of the rebound, he had been in control for so long that he thought himself invincible, believing that with his current strength and ability, no one could harm him anymore.
But now, he was somewhat panicked, yet he did not show it in front of the women.
The face of the Sect Hierarch prevented him from crying out in pain!
His hands continuously cast Talismans, but the power he unleashed couldn’t break through the sealed passage.
White lights reflected back at him, and the Sect Hierarch felt even more pain!
Being already at the Golden Core Cultivation, he had never met his match, and today he was bested by someone without even knowing who the enemy was.
How depressing!
Those watching women received a stern glance from him, hat gestured them to join in breaking the seal.
The dignified Sect Hierarch was facing a dilemma he could not solve, and they, summoned by him, had no power to resist and could only obey.
“Bang bang bang”
“Ahhh!”
In another yard, the Young Master was also making the same effort.
Unable to contact his father and unable to leave, he continuously pounded on the seal, blocked from going outside, and the passage was inaccessible!
As the Young Master, he had never felt so frustrated before, and not just frustrated—the pride of the past seemed set to be shattered by this moment!
In his panic, the women saw him madly pounding as if he had gone crazy, some were shocked, and their screams were incessant.
They were believers of the Sect, merely controlled by the Young Master, with not strong abilities themselves, and the scene before them was both shocking and frightening!
“What are you screaming for?”
The women stopped their shrieking!
“Aren’t you going to help quickly?”
The women…, the mighty Young Master, why can’t he break it open?
Could it be that they will die here?
Who could be so powerful?
The daughter of the Divine Sect was also facing a predicament, asking her male pets to help!
The male pets were not as fragile as those women, but even with all of them putting their strength together, they were unable to break the seal!
“Ah!”
The force of the rebound caused them physical injuries, suffering internal damage; they felt pain in all their organs!
