Chapter 177 The Cultivation World and Righteousness and Evil
Speaking of this "Invisible Needle," the two Taoists are well aware of its reputation!
This treasure is made from the essence of the five elements, and it integrates the unique invisible escape method of this person. It can come and go without a trace, causing harm in an invisible manner, which is extremely powerful.
It is said that even a cultivator in the Yuanying stage would be greatly troubled by it. This is one of the reliance that this old man can act arrogantly.
Even if only the talisman of the invisible needle is obtained, due to its miraculous invisible effect, it is still a life-saving treasure. At the very least, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage cannot deal with such a magical item.
"All right, I'll go along with Senior Qiong's words and place my bet!" After a brief consideration, the Taoist felt that there was nothing wrong and agreed.
And Li Shizhu, thinking of the huge benefits of winning the bet, gritted his teeth and also agreed.
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
The three of them exchanged blows and officially made the bet.
"Senior, why did you come here? Is it you who led the team from the Concealed Moon Sect?" As the three were about to disperse, the Taoist suddenly thought of something and asked.
"If I lead the team, will they rest assured? This time the leader of our sect is a girl named Ni Chang. I just came to take a look. Let's see if there are any powerful newcomers from various factions." Senior Qiong glanced at him, not in a good mood.
"Take a look, is it very ordinary now! I estimate that if there are disciples with better talent, your nephews won't be willing to let them out!
They must be cherished like treasures. But think about it!
Without experiencing several major events, even if the talent is better, when encountering those evil demons, they will definitely be slaughtered like lambs!
" This old man seemed to have many complaints about the practices of various factions, with an expression that seemed to say "you are all wrong".
Li Shizhu and the Taoist did not show any strangeness on their faces, but they were secretly contemptuous.
"How could this old monster speak so lightly?
It's not easy for our various sects to accept a disciple with better talent.
Sending them to participate in such almost certain death trials, are we idiots!
Moreover, why come to this blood-red forbidden land for such a big event?
" Of course, these words could only be kept in their stomachs.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be looking for trouble? The two Taoists were very tactful.
Of course, this also once again verified the simple truth in the cultivation world: whoever has the bigger fist is the truth.
The disciples of the two factions, knowing that the three of them had made a bet on their life and death journey, were all aware of it. They couldn't help but be in a state of turmoil, with different expressions on their faces, looking extremely strange.
Naturally, no one would be foolish enough to directly accuse the three of them.
Even if someone did, they could only dare to be angry but not speak out.
Otherwise, as long as the other party moved a little finger, it would mean the end for these novice cultivators.
Li Shizhu saw the two people leave, turned around and swept past the faces of the disciples of the Yellow Maple Valley, then said coldly, shocking Han Li and others with a sentence.
"I know that you feel that it is disrespectful for us to bet on your life and death journey.
If it were someone else, they might find many excuses to console themselves.
But I, Li, have always disdained this! Let me tell you plainly, the true face and cruelty of the cultivation world, are also some advice from me. "
"You listen carefully, in the cultivation world, whether it is a righteous sect or an evil demon sect, they all pursue going against the heavens and survival of the fittest. However, while the righteous sect emphasizes gradual progress and steady advancement, and their techniques are relatively mild, they often use the banner of eliminating demons and defending the way to do some despicable deeds, mostly hypocrites and pseudo-gentlemen; while the evil sects strive for rapid progress in their cultivation techniques, blindly pursuing powerful techniques, and their cultivation process is too vicious and ruthless, with a tendency to seek opportunistic advantages.
Although they claim to act as they please and show their true nature, as their cultivation techniques advance, they will gradually become more extreme and lose their human nature, and even become extremely bloodthirsty and cruel. "
"However, regardless of what the righteous and evil sides and other sects of cultivation say, in fact, what they execute is the law of the jungle.
We cultivators are not like ordinary people in the world!
Cultivators with higher cultivation levels regard low-level cultivators as ants.
It is common for them to kill with a single blow if they don't agree with each other. This is a common occurrence."
At this point, Li Shizhu paused, and his tone seemed to be disdainful of both the so-called righteous and evil factions. This attitude made the disciples present somewhat confused. One of the bolder disciples couldn't help but ask:
"Master, is our Yellow Maple Valley a righteous sect or an evil sect?"
"Haha! Neither righteous nor evil, just like the other six sects of the Yue country." He sneered, saying.
"You are young and have entered the sect for a short time, so you have not been told about the origin of the cultivation world in the Yue country!"
"Thousands of years ago, our Yue country was just like other places, with a confrontation between righteousness and evil, and at that time, the seven major sects were just insignificant small sects.
In order to survive, they had to act as a hedge between the righteous and evil factions.
Whichever side had greater strength, these small sects like us would lean toward that side.
They were completely looked down upon by the major righteous and evil sects of that time!
But later, there was a fierce battle between the righteous and evil factions.
All their masters came out, and after this battle, both sides were greatly weakened.
They were no longer able to suppress small sects like our Yellow Maple Valley, and after a period of time, we even joined hands with the other six sects to uproot both sides completely, wiping out their Daoist traditions, to prevent them from rising again. "
"Now, many of the cultivation techniques you have learned are actually spoils of war left by both the righteous and evil factions at that time.
This also laid the foundation for our seven major sects to dominate the Yue country.
Once again, if there are any righteous or evil sects that want to invade this place, our seven sects will immediately join forces to drive them away and not give them a foothold.
Therefore, the cultivation techniques we seven sects teach belong to both righteous and evil, and some are unique!
In terms of factions, we belong to the neutral sects. "
As Li Shizhu spoke, a self-satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"You guys have been practicing hard in the valley before, and even if you have gone out of the valley gate, you have just wandered around in this small place in Yue country. You have never really touched
the true cultivation world, let alone seen the dark and bloody side of the cultivation world.
But in fact, in those places, the righteous and evil factions, as well as the Buddhist, Taoist, Confucian, demon, and monster five major cultivation factions, all coexist, and the level of chaos far exceeds your imagination.
Things like killing for treasures and exterminating clans and families are commonplace, and in most places, it is the evil side that has the upper hand.
They kill to establish dominance, extremely bloody. "
At this point, his expression became solemn, appearing very serious, but then his expression slightly relaxed, and he said coldly again:
"Alright, I've given you a slight awakening like this to prevent you from becoming too arrogant.
Remember, in the cultivation world, if your strength is inferior to others, don't talk nonsense about being respected.
The so-called respect can only exist between cultivators of similar strength, otherwise, it's just seeking death!
Hehe, how many of you who survive will truly comprehend these words in a few days? "
Han Li and the others had long been stunned, shocked by everything they heard. All of this was extremely unexpected for the disciples.
"Now let's talk about the bet. You should have heard that this bet is very important to Li.
If we win the bet, I will not treat you unfairly.
The disciples who help me win this time will all be generously rewarded, and the one who contributes the most may even be accepted as my disciple after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage. "
The disciples of the Yellow Maple Valley had not yet fully digested and accepted the "advice" they had received, and they were immediately stimulated by the subsequent super promise.
They became excited one by one, eager to try.
The opportunity to be accepted as a disciple by a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage was an extremely rare opportunity.
Throughout the history of the Yellow Maple Valley, only a dozen or so people had such good luck.
This was definitely a once-in-a-millennium opportunity!
Seeing the excitement of the crowd in front of him, and being excited one by one, Li Shizhu smiled slightly, very satisfied.
As long as he could win the bet, even if he accepted three or four more named disciples, it would be a trivial matter. At most, he would find a place to settle them down casually and pass on some superficial cultivation techniques. That would be easy to handle.
