Chapter 61: The Local Immortals Are Too Insane!
Yuan Zhu discovered that by querying redemptions, he could also indirectly get answers and explanations. After acquiring some basic knowledge, he immediately became interested and inputted all the names he had come into contact with, such as Holy Light, Buddhist Dharma, and so on.
He wanted to see if there were corresponding redemptions. The result was that there really were quite a few.
The redemption requirements for the Holy Light System required at least bearing a Holy Mark. [Holy Mark] He had already seen it; it was the severed finger of that doctor in the Holy Light Department at the city second hospital. That kind of wound in a half-burning, half-dormant state was a Holy Mark.
With this wound (Holy Mark), one could ignite life, convert and produce Holy Light, thereby benefiting the masses. All reinforcements of the [Holy Light System] were based on the ‘Holy Mark’.
The Holy Mark never heals; it is a symbol of miracle, continuously burning the user’s life until the day life extinguishes. Even if you chop off your finger, the Holy Mark will randomly appear in another part of the body, continuing to burn life.
Therefore, the [Holy Mark] carries beautiful connotations such as self-sacrifice, sacrifice, burning oneself to illuminate others, and bringing light.
Relying on this set of rhetoric, the Holy Church frantically brainwashed the lower-class people in the western world of Geng Continent, greatly expanding evangelism, linking itself with ‘holiness’, and becoming the spokesperson of the divine.
[Holy Light] this power has extreme domineering exclusivity, as well as weak healing additional effects.
Relying on this characteristic, Holy Light Cultivators easily achieve purification of pollution. Its essence is using the super strong repulsive ‘Holy Light Pollution’ to clear other pollutions, then exploiting and overdrawing the patient’s vitality for rapid self-healing.
The displayed effect: as soon as Holy Light emerges, evil retreats and disperses, even wounds automatically heal—simply a miracle! Thus, they devoutly believe in Holy Light.
As for the internal depletion and overdraft? I’ve already been polluted; isn’t it very reasonable for the body to be a bit weak?
…
The Buddhist System is the same; the foundational basis of cultivation is the Buddha Cocoon. One needs an master to perform receiving precepts on the physical body, transplant the Buddha Cocoon, and accept Buddhist Magic Power to successfully convert to Buddhism.
The characteristic of Buddhist Magic Power is completely opposite to that of the Holy Church. Holy Light is domineering and exclusive, while Buddhist Magic Power has a super strong ‘assimilation effect’.
The spirit route can deeply brainwash believers, correct thoughts, construct a spirit Magic Net, gradually marinate and refine the soul to highly resonate with itself. At this point, it can absorb and assimilate, continuously grow stronger the divine soul, reincarnate, achieve soul perfection, and transform into a Buddha.
The physical body route uses the Buddha Cocoon to redeem various powerful creatures and demonic creatures, gradually subtly transform and correct the opponent’s bloodline and pollution, condense essence, manufacture rejection-free Buddhist Dharma organs, recycle and fuse them anew, ultimately step by step optimize the physical body, and finally achieve instant Buddhahood with indestructible Vajra body.
No matter which path to Buddhahood, it cannot be separated from the ‘Buddha Cocoon’. The Buddha Cocoon itself carries the original owner’s ‘spirit information and flesh information’, which is both a systematic inheritance of Buddhist Dharma knowledge and a test.
You don’t know whether the master who guided you into the sect is truly compassionate or falsely compassionate?
Whether you truly digest and absorb the knowledge and power contained in the ‘Buddha Cocoon’, completely subdue it, turn it into your own, innovate upon the old, and become a new generation Buddhist Expert.
Or be reversely redeemed and subdued by the ‘Buddha Cocoon’, becoming fodder and stepping stone on the master’s path to Buddhahood?
“Holy crap, this Du Ling Buddhism is so evil!” He thought of the various encounters in Xihong Realm; this thing really isn’t something ordinary people can handle.
…
Next, Yuan Zhu filtered out the native cultivation systems he was most looking forward to; surprisingly, there were two different foundations: [Spiritual Root] and [Bone Structure]. These two belong to two different cultivation systems.
There are actually two different kinds of Immortals?!
[Spiritual Root] corresponds to plants and heaven-earth spiritual roots; it is the foundation of the current mainstream [Kunlun Immortal Mountain Qi Refiner System] on Geng Continent. Its supernatural origin (Pollution Root) is the ‘Kunlun Divine Wood. Immortal Peach of Immortality Spiritual Root’ from Eastern mythology.
Among the currently commonly used Twelve Mandates of Du Ling, the ninth-ranked [Peach (Year)] is the symbol of the Kunlun System. And [Peach] is merely one fruit nurtured by the ‘Kunlun Immortal Mother of Immortality’.
The entry foundation for Kunlun Qi Refiners is to implant the spiritual root (root tendril) into the flesh, gradually replacing nerves and blood vessels, inhaling and exhaling the ‘Spiritual Energy’ recognized by the Kunlun System, thereby achieving longevity through qi.
The introduction information is simple and crude; it really is literally a ‘spiritual root’?
This couldn’t help but remind Yuan Zhu of the universally existing ‘respiration’ in plants; could this be the essence of ‘Qi Refining’?
As for [Bone Structure], it is the Yellow Heaven worship still believed in by the Yellow Heaven remnants on the New Continent. Although [Yellow Heaven] is dead, it obviously isn’t completely dead, and there are still corresponding supernatural experts.
However, the redemption projects for the [Yellow Heaven System] in the Space of Gods are clearly fewer than those for the [Kunlun System]. He only found the most basic ‘Bone Structure Implant Surgery’, requiring 1000 points, with very simple content:
Randomly select a section of one’s own bone, have the Space of Gods perform complete stripping, extract the bone marrow for later use. Grind the bone into powder, mix with special soil, stir evenly, then add bone marrow and spiritual water, knead into clay, reshape, and fire 1:1 into bone china in the shape of bone, then re-implant into the body.
After this bone replacement surgery, the ‘new bone’ in the body is called [Bone Structure], which is also the cultivation foundation of the [Yellow Heaven. Immortal Class System].
After reading these, Yuan Zhu felt completely unwell.
These four are already recognized as the most legitimate and safest, with the widest spread, supernatural systems.
One is an unhealing Holy Mark scar, one is a blind box test of flesh transplanting Buddha Head Cocoon, one is planting grass in the body and inhaling qi for longevity, and the last one requires firing porcelain Bone Structure to seek ascension to the Immortal Class…
“This isn’t the cultivation I want! It looks like the art style isn’t even as reliable as ‘Datafied Cultivation’.”
Game Sprite: “Exactly! These are all heresies! All demonic paths! Too evil; how can the local natives defile the sacred cultivation system? Boss, we won’t cultivate these Immortals; continue perfecting your [Tiger Demon Template], pioneer a brand new immortal path, and thoroughly shock these local hicks with no vision or pattern!”
Before the two could finish exchanging, the reinforcement list continued to pop up some independent and niche cultivation tracks such as [Sword Immortal, Feathered Immortal, Corpse Solvation Immortal], far inferior to [Kunlun] and [Yellow Heaven].
More like other pollution systems, just forcibly slapping on an [Immortal] label, products of forced confrontation.
Yuan Zhu, who had already been thoroughly shocked by the two strongest local immortal paths, instinctively resisted, not daring to look more, afraid of hurting his fragile heart…
At this moment, on the other side, Meng Xiyue, who was discussing reinforcement paths, suddenly spoke up: “This won’t do, that won’t do; Zhou Chu, you’re so domineering! Hey, Lu Rang, are you afraid of pain?”
“Not afraid. I’ve been bullied and ostracized by classmates since childhood; my family was poor, no money to pay tribute to the school bully, often beaten. After graduation, I was constantly extorted. To protect myself, I joined the local gang, wore these nose rings and lip studs. I don’t really like them; I just wanted to fit in and not be bullied. As long as I can get stronger, mere hardship and fear of pain are nothing; I’m just afraid of dying.”
Meng Xiyue narrowed her eyes: “The pain I’m talking about isn’t ordinary pain, but pain that continues indefinitely.”
“What exactly is the reinforcement? Just tell me. It only needs 400 points to get it done, and it’s powerful enough; having some side effects is normal! I don’t mind.” Lu Rang was unmoved by her threat.
Meng Xiyue: “Then become a [Sword Immortal]! This is a legitimate system recognized by the New Federation, with unparalleled lethality, and greatly favored by the military. The top Sword Immortals on the West Coast mostly serve in the military; if you become a [Sword Immortal], not only will you gain self-protection power, but you can also pave a good future in the present world. Your identity is clean, the cultivation system is safe, strength is powerful; from then on, you’re no longer a mortal. With this woman vouching for you, you could even become an officer.”
After saying that, she provocatively glanced at Zhou Chu, implying: See, who says I scam people and can’t select good reinforcements?
Zhou Chu also nodded in agreement: “The [Sword Immortal System] is not bad; it just requires enduring the pain of self-harm by sword edge. If you choose this path, you must hold firm to your original heart and never degenerate into an [Evil Sword Immortal]. Currently, the Security Bureau and military have a large number of wanted orders for Evil Sword Immortals.”
Holy crap, another cultivation one?!
He had just scrolled past [Sword Immortal]; he didn’t expect a Sword Immortal to really be born in the team!
Regarding Lu Rang’s choice, he had nothing to say. Since he knew nothing, he wouldn’t interject. In fact, Yuan Zhu even faintly anticipated the other completing the [Sword Immortal] reinforcement, so he could see what the local Immortals
