Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 292 - 46: Cult, 5 Years

He took the book from Feng Luoyi's hands and directly flipped to a folded page, "This book isn't for fooling gullible men and women, but for the cult... I'm not sure whether to call them witches or Divine Men, though most of it is deceitful, there's a Magic Seal here that I'm very concerned about."

Feng Luoyi was born at a time when the Divine Tao Cultivators had been completely eradicated, but the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm was not lacking in Divine Tao materials, "It's nothing more than the usual Divine Tao summonings for plague expulsion and fertility, right?"

Wang Qi pointed to a twisted talisman drawn with red and black pigments, "This thing is not an ordinary Divine Tao Summoning, it's not even an ordinary Magic Seal—I stake my personality on it."

Feng Luoyi's gaze sharpened, "This aura…"

"It's exactly the same as the Evil Demon on the Heterodox Demon Statue." Wang Qi said, "This is definitely not the work of a regular Divine Tao Cultivator."

The paint used for the talisman was dark red, almost black, as if written with blood. Neither Wang Qi nor Feng Luoyi wished to delve into what kind of blood it was. What caught both of their attentions was the mysterious effect the talisman had when it connected with Spiritual Energy.

It was indeed Entropy-increasing Power.

And it was precisely because of this aura that Wang Qi, who was extremely sensitive to Entropy, had decided to pay a visit.

"I've looked through this book. The doctrine of the Hongyuan Sect states that the world is going to perish, and a great immortal named Hongyuan could establish a sanctuary, granting eternal life to those who believe. Moreover, all Modern Cultivators are Evil Demons, who monopolize speech, impairing the wisdom of the people, wishing to destroy the Righteous Skill and only allow their own heretical teachings to spread. These are all standard cult tactics—by the way, Teacher Feng, the Immortal Alliance's efforts in dispelling feudal superstitions are hardly sufficient." Wang Qi flipped a few more pages, "The key is 'Destruction of the World'. In the doctrine of the Hongyuan Sect, the world's destruction is carried out by an Evil Demon, who is the true lord of the Immortal Alliance, named the Evil Demon King."

On the paper, the Evil Demon King was a sphere composed of poison insects, eyeballs, and human hands.

Wang Qi couldn't help but admire the guy who came up with such an Evil Demon portrait. Because of the existence of the Immortal Dao and the Demon Clan, the mortals of Shenzhou rarely imagined "monsters". In this cultural context, a mere glance at this dialogue could make one lose their Sanity.

However, although the image in the drawing was far removed from that of the Heterodox Demon Statue, Wang Qi still accurately grasped the essence of the "Evil Demon King".

Humph, even if this thing turned into twin ponytails, I would recognize it, fake·Cthulhuya.

Feng Luoyi pondered, "Dabai Village, which is your hometown, someone used a Heterodox Demon Statue to set up a divine altar. Then someone established the Divine Tao here, and the Evil Demon Qi Intent within the Heterodox Demon Statue has become the Doom-bringing Demon, opposing the world-saving deity... Do you suspect that the two matters are connected?"

"It's all happening in Jingxiang. I think it would be impossible not to suspect a connection," said Wang Qi. "The old man in my ring confirmed that the Ancient Method couldn't decode even a bit of the Heterodox Demon Statue, naturally, they also couldn't create a Talisman to simulate the Evil Demon's power—in fact, they couldn't even clearly determine whether this power was Heterodox or of the Destruction Path. This Talisman was either created by the Ancient Demon Clan or is a recent piece, just when Fentian Prefecture turned."

"An act of the Ancient Demon Clan..." Feng Luoyi fell into a daze again, "The Immortal Alliance has no records of any relics being opened under its watch. I will have people check, but it is unlikely that they will find anything. It is absolutely impossible for an Ancient Method Practitioner to exist in the East Sea... It must be the Western Border again."

Wang Qi asked doubtfully, "You mean Chi Lianxue's matter in the West Sea?"

Feng Luoyi smiled, "That has little to do with you. You've done well this time."

"Palace Master Deng from Xin Mountain warned me not to divulge any secrets without discretion, the other day Bai Ze God Monarch said the same, I cannot tell anyone except for those who are already in the know, so I didn't report it to the local Immortal Alliance."

"Very well," Feng Luoyi nodded.

"But there is something I still don't understand," Wang Qi continued. "A doctrine that speaks of Doom and eternal life through faith seems only suited for times of chaos. In times of peace, Divine Tao Cultivators tend to establish teachings that promote rewarding the good and punishing the evil."

"The Immortal Alliance hasn't cultivated Jingxiang well, that's indeed an oversight. Moreover, after we tore off the hypocritical sacred veil of the Immortal Path, we exposed the Great Dao's stark reality, and there are always fools who think the Ancient Method, shrouded in mystery and with unfounded claims by many, is better than the Modern Method with its clear right and wrong," Feng Luoyi sighed, then asked, "Are you headed to the Divine Capital?"

"Wandering around aimlessly outside isn't particularly fun," Wang Qi replied honestly. Ancient sights, which modern people find novel at first glance, can become monotonous and boring after a while. And for famous splendid scenes, Wang Qi didn't have enough time to explore, so he might as well go directly to the Divine Capital.

"The matters of the Hongyuan Cult in Jingxiang, you need not concern yourself with it, the Immortal Alliance will send someone of appropriate rank to handle it," said Feng Luoyi, originally intending to leave but then added after some thought, "Actually, regarding the matter five years from now, you shouldn't dwell on it too much. In the next five years, the entire Immortal Alliance will live tightly wound. Your days in the Divine Capital might be more comfortable."

"Eh? What's that about five years?"

——————————————

In the Feng family courtyard, another incarnation of Feng Luoyi also stood up and handed the baby girl in her arms to Feng Shouji, "Xianglun is about to become aware, I must go."

Feng Shouji nodded, "Take care, grandfather."

Feng Luoyi smiled and said, "What I just said to Wang Qi about the next five years wasn't just to comfort him, it's true that the Immortal Alliance will be in for tight days ahead. You must urge the Feng family, especially those without talent for research, to diligently cultivate their combat skills. Those who can fight, in a few years, that will be of great benefit."

With that, the incarnation of Feng Luoyi disappeared without a trace.
