I can see the blood bar and my purity is extremely high

Chapter 273 What is the Devil Way (Part )

The Blood River Demon Lord’s breathing stagnated.

He knelt down unconsciously with a plop and kowtowed respectfully to the person in front of him, observing the etiquette of a disciple.

"Little cultivator Xu Shiqing, I beg your majesty to give me some guidance."

Lu Wenwu said with interest: "So, do you want to become a demon, or a demon cultivator?"

The Blood River Demon Lord was slightly stunned.

Aren't these two feelings the same thing?
Lu Wenwu saw his confusion and said, "Demon cultivators are demon cultivators. To put it bluntly, they are still cultivators who have practiced the immortal way, but their behavior is close to that of demons."

"Even if you can transcend the calamity and ascend to become a so-called immortal or demon, do you think that this is a demon? You are wrong. You are still an immortal."

"Let me ask you, why do you want to become an immortal? Why do you want to cultivate magic?"

"For eternal life and freedom." The Blood River Demon Lord answered without hesitation.

This is a very conventional answer. In the world of immortal cultivation, if you ask this kind of question, 999 out of a thousand people will give this answer.

Lu Wenwu asked again: "Then do you think you will be free after becoming an immortal? The immortal world also has the heaven, the heaven also has rules, and the immortals also have their own realms of cultivation. Do you think that after you ascend to heaven, you can punch the Jade Emperor, step on the Lord of Mount Tai, jump out of the Three Realms, and not be in the Five Elements?"

The Blood River Demon Lord looked confused.

He knew every word Lu Wenwu said.

But when they were put together, why didn't he understand?
For the first time, the great master of magic who had been a genius for thousands of years felt that his comprehension might be quite poor.

Lu Wenwu shook his head slightly: "Immortals are just freedom within the rules, and are still bound by human nature. Don't you see that the so-called ruthless sword immortals are still chivalrous? If they are really ruthless, why do they do this useless work?"

"Demons are the ultimate freedom and ease that comes from throwing away all the shackles that humans have placed on themselves, all the morals and ethics that all intelligent creatures have, and all the rules of the universe."

"It's nothing else, just two words - rules."

"Those who follow the order are immortals."

"Those without order are demons."

"Absolute neutrality is the way of heaven."

The Blood River Demon Lord was scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.

He felt that he had a vague understanding, but it was like scratching an itch through a shoe, and he couldn't grasp the faint flash of inspiration at all.

There's nothing else to it, what Lu Wenwu said was a bit too lofty.

This is somewhat difficult to understand for a magic practitioner who has not received modern philosophy education.

The Blood River Demon Lord has been trying very hard to understand the Blue Star words that Lu Wenwu translated into the language of the immortal world, but there is still a little gap.

"A rotten tree cannot be carved." Lu Wenwu sighed, "These concepts may be a little abstract to you, so let's start with the concrete ones."

"Given your current situation, the possibility of becoming a true demon is slim. But you have already made some progress on the path of demon cultivation within the scope of the immortal way, and are heading in the right direction."

"You see, you have realized the importance of the number of mortals, and have begun to consciously keep and control the number of mortals in order to strengthen the common resources of the magic practitioners."

"But have you ever thought that you haven't done this to the extreme?"

"Extreme?"

The Blood River Demon Lord couldn't help but scratch his messy blood-red hair.

“Extreme.”

Lu Wenwu nodded.

"You are currently making too little use of people, and your methods of cultivating reserve materials are too backward. You are not even as good as the people in those mortal countries in raising pigs."

"Of course, this is not just your problem, it's the problem of all demon cultivators. In the final analysis, you are still a branch of the immortal way, still thinking with the 'human' mindset, and you cannot be considered a true demon cultivator."

"Take the Ten Thousand Souls Banner as an example. Your ritual involves raising enough mortals, making them fat and strong, and then killing them. Kill about a county's worth of people, collect their souls and resentment, refine 10,000 resentful souls, and store them in the banner."

"In fact, this is completely wrong and a complete waste. This backward approach stems from your lack of understanding of the soul, or a habitual neglect of the past and neglect of the present."

"What is the core of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? It's the soul. What does a fat and strong body have to do with a weak soul? The soul is already formed the moment the embryo is fully developed. Without cultivation, the power and breadth of information that the soul can carry will not change."

"Therefore, whether the Ten Thousand Souls Banner uses the souls of babies, adults, old people, or even monsters, there will be no difference in power."

"Then the correct way is to directly extract the soul of the baby and refine it. Raising them until they are fifteen or sixteen years old is a complete waste of resources. Moreover, this kind of soul is still blank, and can be cultivated into a ghost baby through the Yin Gathering Land."

"Once the Ten Thousand Souls Ghost Banner refined in this way is activated, the wind will howl and the resentment will rise to the sky. Isn't this much stronger than the ordinary Ten Thousand Souls Banner that you spent more than ten years to refine?"

"In terms of material breeding, you have only changed from unmanned free-range breeding to managed free-range breeding, but you have not solved the fundamental problem. From the perspective of productivity, if you let immortal cultivators farm, the workload of one person is equivalent to that of thousands of ordinary people!"

"Then the correct approach should be to manage them in batches like livestock, with all females used as reproductive machines and all males used as sowing machines. After sowing successfully once a year, they are sent to the farmland to help with farming."

"The good ones can be sown several times, and selective breeding can be carried out to iterate the quality of the offspring and replace the bad genes."

"During the process of mothers giving birth to offspring, any problems that mortals encounter should be recorded by the Hehuan Sect. They can be solved by simply taking inferior elixirs. These mothers start giving birth at around the age of fourteen. Even if they die at the age of thirty, they can still contribute sixteen times the population. It's worth it."

"Place the mother's fertility base in a place where yin gathers. Use the elixir of the Hehuan Sect to make the mother pregnant in the yin year, yin month, yin day, yin hour and yin moment. Use the formation to draw yin evil into the body during the gestation process. Then we can artificially cultivate extremely yin bodies in large quantities. This kind of physique is top-notch whether it is used as a cauldron or a magic cultivator."

"Of course, this method wastes the mother body a bit. It's not cost-effective. You can't make too many at once. If you make too many, you won't be able to use them all or maintain them. You can't refine them all into magic tools, that would be a bit too much."

"If we build a normal production line consisting of one million reproductive mothers, we can produce one hundred Ten Thousand Soul Banners every year. And to feed a mere two million mortals, do you think that's difficult? You, the Blood Refining Demon Sect, can do it by yourself."

"After normal babies are born, they are directly screened. Those with spiritual roots are selected and sent to the sect for cultivation. Those without spiritual roots but with excellent souls and bodies are cultivated as the next generation of breeding bodies and mother bodies to expand the breeding scale. The rest are consumables."

"As for the mother bodies and breeding bodies, pick out the good-looking ones and sell them to the Hehuan Sect or Huanxi Zen Sect after their body functions decline. As for the rest, you can kill them and accumulate blood evil energy. Collect the blood for your own use, and sell the resentment to the Desire Demon Sect."

"Strip off the meat and sell it to the Gluttonous Blood Demon Sect, pick out the bones and sell them to the Corpse Puppet Sect or the White Bone Demon Sect, trade the internal organs with the Demonic Beast or the Multifaceted Demon Sect, and peel out the eyeballs and find the Ten Thousand Eyes Sect. They will definitely give a good price." "Finally, sell the discarded flesh and blood that no one wants to the Corpse Bone Pill Sect. They should need these things as waste materials to stimulate the growth of their blood spirit fields."

"Oh yes, you can also consider using the uterus and reproductive system that were separated from the mother's body."

"We should go find the Multifaceted Demon Sect that specializes in human body modification and grafting and see if we can design a system that allows the uterus to survive on its own as a true fertility machine. This will consume fewer resources and allow for more intervention."

"If we can achieve artificial adjustment during the process of breeding the offspring, we can achieve targeted cultivation. For example, the Ten Thousand Eyes Sect needs a lot of eyes, so we can try to cultivate offspring with dozens of eyes, and so on."

"It's okay for the righteous side, but your ability to integrate resources is so poor. You must know that win-win cooperation is the capital for progress. You are completely a mess, so how can you become an immortal?"

"If the Demonic Path wants to make progress, it must understand: reducing costs and improving efficiency, supply chain cooperation, monopolizing technical resources, and cultivating industrialized thinking. If you don't understand these, you will be completely wiped out by the Righteous Path sooner or later."

"Huh? Why do you look like that?"

Lu Wenwu said a lot of things in a flash, and when he turned around, he saw the Blood River Demon Lord kneeling there sweating profusely, his forehead covered with sweat, and his eyes switching back and forth between fanaticism and fear.

The enthusiasm is because Lu Wenwu’s ideas are really outrageous.

If this method is continued, the speed at which the evil path will grow will be unimaginable for the righteous path.

If all the mortals within the range of the Demonic Path were raised in this way, within a few years, he would be able to condense a sea of ​​blood, and even refine the Yin-Netherworld Fallen Heaven Creation Flag that was said to require tens of thousands of ghost babies and an extremely yin body to have a chance of being created!
There is hope for ascension!

Fear is because
Lu Wenwu's behavior is no longer challenging the moral bottom line of mankind. It is completely changing the development path of mortals since ancient times. It is completely against the way of heaven!
Challenge the rules of heaven!

If you ask the Blood River Demon Lord to challenge the moral bottom line of mankind, he still has the courage to do so.

After all, he has always done this, but his ideas were not as outrageous as Lu Wenwu's.

But you let him challenge the rules of heaven?
He really doesn't have the courage.

Even though the world of immortal cultivation has always been talking about going against the will of heaven, going against the will of heaven, how many people actually dare to go against the will of heaven?

Do you think you are defying heaven just by surviving a disaster?
Stop joking, buddy. Isn’t thunder tribulation also a part of the rules of heaven?

Isn’t the improvement in your cultivation level after crossing over also a part of the rules of heaven?

Otherwise, the heavens directly stipulate that one's soul will be shattered and one will die suddenly within ten seconds after transcending the tribulation. Do you think there are still people who dare to practice Taoism while shouting the slogan "against heaven"?

Lu Wenwu is completely different.

On the surface, everything seems to be going according to the rules.

But if you think about it carefully, this is no longer against the will of heaven in the conventional sense, it is directly against the laws of natural development!

This is to declare war on the Heavenly Dao with real swords and guns!

The Blood River Demon Lord really doesn't dare.

Now he seemed to finally understand vaguely what the "devil" was.

Those who are not bound by any rules and do whatever they want are demons.

This is probably the true meaning of magic.

It is totally against the will of heaven.
This is not something that can be brushed off by the Confucian excuse of "it goes against the laws of nature and human ethics".

This is really going against the will of heaven.

"You seem very scared?" Lu Wenwu asked with interest, "Weren't you just now looking like 'If I hear the truth in the morning, I will die in the evening'?"

Blood River Demon Lord's face was covered in sweat, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, what you described is really too shocking. I am a little stupid and can't adapt to it for a while."

"Is this still shocking? It seems that your ability to accept things needs to be improved. This is just putting some things out in the open, that's all."

Lu Wenwu shrugged.

"Eating people is the same in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad. Survival of the fittest, winner takes all, this is an unchanging truth since ancient times. I think as a demon lord, you should be able to understand this to some extent."

“I still understand.”

The Demon Lord of the Blood River, with a head full of sweat, hesitated and his throat was dry.

"But this, this, this is totally against the will of heaven. And this method is too much."

The Blood River Demon Lord is a bit stuck.

He racked his brains but still had no idea how to describe Lu Wenwu's actions.

If it's simple and rough
This is so damn inhumane.
Looking back at what he did when he was young, the Blood River Demon Lord thought that compared with what Lu Wenwu described, he was simply at the level of a moral saint.
I was just simply killing people.

No wonder he can be the Dragon King. I’m just a small king of magic.

Or the kind that is not actually recognized by everyone.

Lu Wenwu, a man that even the Devil King is afraid of.jpg
"You, the Demon Lord, are still too young, and you don't deserve the title." Lu Wenwu shook his head and sighed, "If killing many people and being powerful can be considered a Demon Lord, then Xiaoxi would have already achieved the Golden Immortal of the Demon Dao."

The Blood River Demon Lord didn't know who the Xiao Xi he was talking about was, but he still lowered his head in shame.

Lu Wenwu continued, "Compared to what I just told you, the explicit way of eating people and spitting out some bones, eating people without spitting out bones is the real bloody, cruel and brutal way."

"It's a dark quagmire created by an invisible knife cutting into your body. Everyone is swept away by this environment and eventually swallowed up by the person at the top."

"That is the ultimate despair and absolute powerlessness. From birth to death, facing this helpless reality all day long, but without any means of resistance, even death would be a luxury."

"At this time, the resentment and despair that can be spawned by group consciousness are far beyond what your current world of immortal cultivation can produce."

"Can you imagine such a world?"
