Talk About Bragging, How Do You Really Have The Qualifications Of The Great Emperor?

Chapter 7: The Order of Heaven, the Origin of Righteousness and Evil

The time goes back a moment.

After Wang Xiu left, Jiang Ling'er came alone to the orchid courtyard on the left side of the Fallen Hero Shrine.

This courtyard seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, but the rooms were cleaned well, with little dust on the furniture.

Even the hanging orchids on the carved railings were growing well, obviously being taken care of regularly.

Jiang Ling'er shook the jade bell in her hand, recited an incantation, and a clear light flew out from the bell, enveloping the west wing room, blocking any spiritual exploration.

Then, white smoke rose from the jade bell, gradually condensing into a figure.

It was a woman.

She had a tall figure, standing over seven feet tall, with long and fair legs, a slender waist that could be held with one hand, and her upper garment was almost bursting, making people feel invigorated at just one glance.

Especially...

The woman's attire was much bolder than that of the Central Plains people.

She wore a golden leopard-skin miniskirt, wrapping her beautiful buttocks and half of her thighs, and a pure white sable coat draped over her upper body, giving her an elegant and luxurious appearance.

As the coat fluttered, large areas of snow-white skin were occasionally revealed, making her alluring and irresistible.

Jiang Yourong.

The last Saintess of the Nine Dusks Immortal Gate, the most stunning genius eight hundred years ago!

She was hailed as the Divine Maiden that appeared once every four thousand years in the Southern Border!

Unfortunately...

In that war, the entire Nine Dusks Immortal Gate was destroyed by the Demon Race army, and Jiang Yourong was besieged by over a dozen Astral Projection stage old demons, eventually dying.

Only half of her soul escaped and slept in the Spirit Accumulation Bell for hundreds of years.

It wasn't until a few years ago that Jiang Yourong was awakened by Jiang Ling'er, who was searching for wild vegetables in the mountains to satisfy her hunger, and discovered that she possessed an extremely pure Nine Dusks Bloodline, so she took her in as a disciple.

However...

With only half of her soul remaining, she was so weak that even one-thousandth of her peak strength couldn't be retained. Even if she went all out, she could only kill Foundation Building stage cultivators.

Therefore...

In order to let Jiang Ling'er, the last descendant of the Nine Dusks Immortal Gate's bloodline, grow up smoothly, she resolutely decided to take her to the Three Purities Immortal Gate.

"Ling'er."

Jiang Yourong floated in mid-air, looking dignified and majestic. "I only taught you the basic breathing technique before because I was worried about the entrance test. I didn't teach you any advanced techniques."

"But..."

"Now that you have passed the entrance assessment and successfully joined the Divination Lineage, there's no need to hide anything here on the secluded Spirit Turtle Peak."

After saying that, a proud expression appeared on Jiang Yourong's face. "Today, I will pass on to you the Nine Dusks Immortal Gate's supreme inheritance, the strongest technique of the Ghost Dao, the Nine Dusks Soul Refining Scripture!"

"As is well known..."

"Most Ghost Dao cultivators in the world refine Human Souls, devour them for cultivation, or use them to refine Law Weapons. Although this can achieve twice the result with half the effort, it will also be tainted with a large amount of demonic energy."

"Moreover, devouring Human Souls for cultivation will inevitably absorb the resentment of others. The stronger the strength, the more chaotic the soul, and eventually the collapse of consciousness."

"But our Nine Dusks Soul Refining Scripture is different."

"It emphasizes the refinement of Monster Souls, cultivating them into one's own soul pet, using the soul pet to devour other Monster Souls to grow stronger, while extracting pure original mana to nourish oneself."

"Not only is there no need to devour Human Souls and be tainted with demonic energy, there is also no risk of mental collapse. It is the absolute strongest inheritance of the Ghost Dao!"

Refining Monster Souls?

Jiang Ling'er was slightly stunned, scratching her head and asking, "Master, but refining Monster Souls also requires devouring the souls of Monster Race, right?"

"Why is devouring Human Souls considered evil, but devouring Monster Souls is considered righteous?"

Jiang Yourong rolled her eyes and said, "Because you are human."

"Those who are not of our kind have different hearts."

"The Heavenly Dao divides all living beings into various races, establishing the order of heaven and rewarding those who abide by it and punishing those who violate it."

"To kill one's own kind is to violate the order of heaven, and to cannibalize one's own kind is even more unacceptable. Going against the order of heaven will generate demonic energy, and that is the origin of demonic cultivation."

Jiang Ling'er pondered for a moment and said, "So you mean that if the Monster Race kills humans and refines their souls into puppet Law Weapons, it is not considered a violation of the order of heaven?"

Jiang Yourong nodded slightly, "Yes."

"Heaven and earth are heartless, treating all things as mere fodder. The law of the jungle, where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, is the natural order. The Monster Race not only consumes humans without being tainted by demonic energy, but they also absorb their essence, blood, and souls to cultivate their own power."

"Therefore, throughout history, there have always been evil monsters that consume humans. In some savage lands, there are even Great Monsters who raise humans as livestock for blood consumption."

A strong killing intent flashed in Jiang Yourong's eyes, "Of course."

"Although the Monster Race does not become tainted by demonic energy when consuming humans, the same goes for humans killing and consuming monsters. In fact, if the Monster Race you kill is harmful to humans."

"The heavens will reward you, which is known as merit."

"Merit has many effects."

"It can counteract demonic energy, enhance cultivation, improve aptitude, and it is even said that those with high merit will receive the blessings of the heavens, greatly increasing their luck."

"Otherwise, why do you think the major Immortal Gates constantly advocate for upholding righteousness and eliminating evil, slaying demons and monsters?"

Slaying demons!

Killing external threats!

Eliminating evil!

Eliminating internal troubles!

As for the part of the monster race that inflicts harm upon their own kind and generates demonic energy, such as the demonic tiger that devours tigers or the demonic dragon that devours Flood Dragons...

These.

The Immortal Gates of the human race also kill them without hesitation. After all, if you can devour your own kind, can you expect any mercy towards the human race? It's better to kill the wrong person than to let them go!

Besides, there is merit in eliminating evil, and monster corpses can be used for alchemy and artifact refining. Killing them is a gain!

"In short!"

Jiang Yourong looked at Jiang Ling'er seriously and said, "Do not sympathize with demons and evil spirits, and do not develop any thoughts that humans are more evil than demons."

"People with such thoughts were killed by our human race during the chaotic era eight hundred years ago!"

Looking at Jiang Yourong's murderous appearance, Jiang Ling'er nodded earnestly, "Those who are not of our kind have different hearts. Refining Monster Souls, protecting the human race, Ling'er understands!"

Hmm.

Seeing Jiang Ling'er's obedient appearance, Jiang Yourong nodded in satisfaction.

Although it is said to kill the Holy Mother during chaotic times.

But many young boys and girls, like Jiang Ling'er, have experienced this kind of confusion. Even Jiang Yourong had a similar confusion when she was young, but she straightened herself out.

"Alright."

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "Enough idle talk, I will now teach you the initial chapter of the Nine Dusks Soul Refining Scripture - the Soul Summoning Spell!"

...

The so-called "Soul Summoning Spell".

It is to summon nearby Monster Souls and then select suitable ones as potential soul pets.

Soon, Jiang Yourong taught Jiang Ling'er all the essentials of the "Soul Summoning Spell".

However, this spell seems to be not simple.

"Soul return~!"

"Soul return~!"

"Soul return~!"

Jiang Ling'er continuously summoned souls several times, and her forehead was already covered in fine sweat, but she didn't summon a single Monster Soul.

"Don't be anxious."

Jiang Yourong smiled and said, "Although the 'Soul Summoning Spell' is only the initial chapter of the Nine Dusks Soul Refining Scripture, it is still profound."

"It is normal for ordinary cultivators to take several years to grasp it."

"Your talent in soul cultivation is outstanding, comparable to me back then."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to grasp it within three days."

"Stay calm and don't rush."

...

However.

Just as she finished comforting words, the aura around Spirit Turtle Peak changed.
