Chapter 582

"The essence of the cultivation world is just like this. If you have mastered things you shouldn't have mastered, don't hide them well, but insist on proclaiming them loudly."

"In the end, it can only invite disaster."

"If the Body-Refining Furnace really had the effect of creating special physiques, it is no exaggeration to say that the three giants would have taken action to ignite a war in the cultivation world."

"Treasures should be possessed by those with virtue; in the cultivation world, power is virtue."

Everyone nodded heavily. At this time, Ei thought of something and said thoughtfully:

"Demonic cultivators?"

"No, you thought wrong."

Jiang Yan shook his head.

"Don't blame everything on demonic cultivators. Are all righteous cultivators good people? "

"Not necessarily. Two-faced hypocrites and true villains who stab in the back—the cultivation world has never lacked such people."

"True good people have long since died; none of those who can survive in the cultivation world are kind."

"It's just that righteous cultivators mostly scheme against each other for money and lives, while demonic cultivators mostly poison the common people, which is why demonic cultivators are hated."

"The destruction of the Divine Machine Sect originated from the Dragon City clan of Spirit Cage Island."

After a pause, Jiang Yan's tone became melodic.

"The Dragon City clan was once the best comrade of the Divine Machine Sect, and the Dragon City Clan Leader was close friends with the Divine Machine Sect Master."

"But that was before the Divine Machine Sect obtained the Body-Refining Furnace."

"Although the three giants of the cultivation world didn't care much about the Body-Refining Furnace, for other sects, it was a supreme treasure."

"Greed is the root of all disaster and the reason why the killing in the cultivation world can never be stopped."

"The Divine Machine Sect obtained the Body-Refining Furnace, but the Dragon City clan was the most uncomfortable."

"They could not tolerate their once inconspicuous companions in the cultivation world becoming a famous major force."

"And they could not curb their own greed."

"Thus, the cultivation world, which was already turbulent because of the appearance of the Body-Refining Furnace, was pushed by the Dragon City clan with all their might."

"The Divine Machine Sect became the target of public criticism."

"So, now please tell me..."

Jiang Yan looked at Ningguang, implying something:

"A sect whose strongest person is only at the Void Refinement and Dao Integration stage, with its fame spread throughout the cultivation world, and everyone knows they have a powerful Body-Refining Furnace."

"What will be the next step?"

Ningguang's face sank, and she said slowly:

"Destruction..."

Jiang Yan nodded.

"After the momentum of the Divine Machine Sect reached its peak, many forces took action simultaneously."

"First, the major disciples of the Divine Machine Sect were sniped while out for training, including the child of the Divine Machine Sect's Great Elder."

"Because of this, the Great Elder of the Divine Machine Sect came out of the mountain in hatred, but was killed by an unknown Spirit Refinement and Void Return expert."

"Later... an inexplicable beast riot swept through the entire Divine Machine Sect."

"The Sect Master died in battle, many elders died in battle, and only a few disciples who were out escaped the disaster. The sect's station was also destroyed."

"This was a very strange beast attack; the attack came very hastily and strangely bypassed the defense line of the Righteous Alliance."

"It precisely attacked the Divine Machine Sect. Apart from the Divine Machine Sect, no other place was damaged, and even the mortal cities didn't lose a single brick or tile."

"After the attack, even the three giants like Shushan only took a rough look and solved some beasts."

"They sealed some beasts into the Demon-Locking Tower, and that was the end of it."

"As for the Body-Refining Furnace, it disappeared without a trace."

Everyone felt a bit creepy listening to this, and Zhongli found it somewhat unacceptable.

"Just because of the Body-Refining Furnace... how could they turn against each other!"

"Weren't Dragon City and the Divine Machine Sect brothers originally? If Dragon City needed it, the Divine Machine Sect might not have refused."

Jiang Yan was noncommittal.

"You think this way, but how can you guarantee that the other party thinks this way?"

Zhongli fell silent immediately.

"I think we are brothers and should help each other, but you have already become successful. The world is dazzling, and how much of the past friendship will you remember?"

"Furthermore, the inferior nature of humans is also the inferior nature of cultivators. Humans will always be jealous of partners who were originally the same as them but suddenly started living a good life."

"Moreover, it's better to keep things like the Body-Refining Furnace in one's own hands."

Zhongli couldn't refute this, but Keqing on the side asked naively.

"Then why didn't Shushan take action? Such behavior, inciting demon attacks, has already violated the moral bottom line, right?"

Jiang Yan smiled meaningfully.

Everyone also tacitly turned their heads away.

Does a super sect composed of cultivators, even if it is the leader of the righteous path, absolutely do good things?

The world is not black and white.

But Jiang Yan didn't avoid this matter, but instead talked about another thing:

"Qi-Body Origin Flow is a technique similar to the inheritance of heaven-man induction, and there has never been any written record of it."

"Previously, Shushan had collected seven of the Eight Wonders, missing only the Qi-Body Origin Flow, but after the destruction of the Divine Machine Sect, the Eight Wonders were complete."

· ·····Seeking flowers· ········

"You say, why was Shushan able to fill the last gap of the Eight Wonders and get the record of the Qi-Body Origin Flow?"

Keqing's pupils shrank, and she looked at Jiang Yan in shock.

"Could it be..."

Jiang Yan nodded.

"The Great Elder of the Divine Machine Sect was captured by Little Leiyin Temple, and through a special method of feathering and spirit-crossing, the Qi-Body Origin Flow was extracted."

"Jixia Academy covered up the heavenly secrets for Little Leiyin Temple, hiding everything, while Shushan turned a blind eye to the beasts that were deliberately guided."

"The destruction of the Divine Machine Sect is a consensus in the cultivation world."

Keqing's eyes flickered, as if she was re-recognizing Shushan for the first time, and she said tremblingly:

"Why..."

"There is no why."

Jiang Yan said calmly:

"The strong destroying the weak has nothing to do with the weak."

"An innocent man is guilty of his treasure."

"After obtaining the Body-Refining Furnace, the Divine Machine Sect was deluded by false fame, and in private, they even dared to intercept genius disciples preparing to join the three giants."

"They even boasted that within one hundred thousand years, they would become a major sect on par with the three giants."

"A stable cultivation world does not need a disobedient madman."

"A mere Divine Machine Sect dares to say they are comparable to the three giants? Which of the three giants is not a spokesperson in the cultivation world for a famous force in the upper realm?"

"The Divine Machine Sect had long been asking for death."

"Moreover, the Qi-Body Origin Flow is the most core part of the Eight Wonders. With the Qi-Body Origin Flow, the Eight Wonders can be integrated more perfectly."

"The Body-Refining Furnace is not worth the three giants taking action, but a technique core that might reproduce the Fenghou inheritance is worth it."

"Since someone wanted the Divine Machine Sect to die, the three giants just went with the flow."

Keqing had nothing to say and re-recognized the cruelty of the cultivation world.

"That's why I often say, except for fellow sect members, you cannot trust anyone."

"The cultivation world has always been full of killing, and no one can change it. Shushan being able to have its current status was also killed out."

"Where there are people, there is a world; the world only looks at interests."

"Even the righteous path needs to develop."

"As the leader of the righteous path, Shushan only fights against the demons that plague the world and ensures the overall stability of the cultivation world."

"Shushan will not and cannot manage the schemes within the cultivation world."

"Otherwise, it would be offending the whole world."

Keqing nodded silently and said no more.
