Chapter 274

"The mastermind who catalyzed King Zhou to become increasingly tyrannical and lawless, accelerating the collapse of Shang Tang?"

"I heard this woman was extremely vicious. Because she liked Bo Yikao and he didn't like her, she bewitched King Zhou into mincing him into meat paste and feeding it to Bo Yikao's father."

"She had the Heavenly Charm Body?"

Miss Alice looked at Miss Yae Miko with some surprise.

"Miko, you really do have an incredible constitution."

"..."

Miss Yae Miko fell silent.

Miss Ganyu, standing to the side, said helplessly:

"Elder Alice, where did you get this information again?"

"From novels!"

"..."

164. Shushan Recruits Miscellaneous Disciples Again

"It's 'Investiture of the Gods', right?"

Jiang Yan smiled and shook his head:

"The overall progress is similar, but some details are not."

"As stated in 'Investiture of the Gods', Goddess Nuwa taking revenge on Shang Tang because of a poem, the internal war of the Three Pure Ones, etc. —these are all fabricated."

"Goddess Nuwa is a Great Luo; even if Di Xin was confused, he wouldn't dare to speak recklessly about a Great Luo."

"Moreover, the Great Luo are free and unfettered in the Great Dao; they wouldn't care about these things at all. Would you care what an ant says when it sees you?"

"Whether it is praise or abuse, the other party wouldn't even bother to listen."

"The fall of Shang Tang had nothing to do with the Great Luo; they had no interest in personally stepping in to design such things."

"If they really had an idea, they would have wiped it out with a wave of their hand, even if Shang Tang had many Golden Immortals or even Taiyi powerhouses back then."

"To a Great Luo, it was still just an ant nest, not worth mentioning."

"Furthermore, the Three Pure Ones represent the beginning, process, and end of everything, and they are inherently inseparable; it is absolutely impossible for internal problems to arise."

"Otherwise, the entire cycle of the Heavens would be in chaos."

"But other things are more or less the same."

Hearing Jiang Yan's explanation, Miss Alice suddenly realized.

"No wonder. I was just saying, why would a dignified Great Luo care about such schemes? If they really wanted to destroy Shang Tang, one slap and everything would be gone."

Jiang Yan said slowly:

"Regarding the fall of Shang Tang, there are many inside stories involving the struggles of many forces in the Immortal World. I don't know the more detailed ones."

"It is only recorded that back then, the Immortal World was mostly controlled by Shang Tang, and after Shang Tang fell, the title of Human Emperor disappeared, and the Heavenly Court became the dominant force."

"Perhaps, Shang Tang stood in the way of too many people."

"As far as I know, Di Xin did indeed have violent methods, but he was definitely not a tyrannical Human Emperor."

"Among the generations of Human Emperors, there has never been a tyrannical one; otherwise, how could they bear the title of Human Emperor?"

Everyone was a bit dazed, and they had their own guesses.

In the vast Immortal World, if it was always monopolized by one dynasty, how could it not be standing in everyone's way?

One can imagine what the outcome would be.

However, these things were too far away from them; they didn't need to know too much.

"As for that Su Daji, her original body was a princess of the You Su tribe in the Immortal World. After the You Su tribe was conquered by Shang Tang, Su Daji was sent to Zhaoge."

"When passing through the Xuanyuan Tomb, she was replaced by a nine-tailed fox demon, a traitor of the Qingqiu fox clan."

"What the situation of that fox demon really was, no one knows. Perhaps she wanted to find a backer, or perhaps there were some schemes behind it."

"However, after being replaced, Su Daji did indeed wreak havoc on the world."

"Those things you mentioned, she really did do."

"And it is rumored that she relied on the Heavenly Charm Body to bewitch Di Xin, causing the Shang Tang, which was already on the verge of collapse, to lose its generations of foundation."

"No one knows the true situation; after all, this is a secret of the Immortal World."

"But regardless, because of Su Daji, the Heavenly Charm Body has indeed borne quite a bit of prejudice."

"In the subsequent cultivation world, there have indeed been many with the Heavenly Charm Body who imitated Su Daji and wreaked havoc on the world."

"It is hard to say whether it has some unclear influence on the Heavenly Charm Body itself."

"So..."

Jiang Yan paused, looked at Miss Yae Miko, whose expression was a bit complex, and said softly:

"It would be best if Miko still goes to the Heart-Questioning Array."

"Firstly, to temper your state of mind; even if the Heavenly Charm Body has any side effects, you can be prepared in advance."

"Secondly, the Heart-Questioning Array has some effect on soul strengthening, so going there won't do any harm."

Upon hearing this, Miss Ganyu was silent for a moment and took Miss Yae Miko's hand.

"I believe Miko is not that kind of person!"

Jiang Yan smiled.

"I have always said that power has no right or wrong, and techniques do not distinguish between good and evil."

"As long as one's will is firm, even demonic arts can subdue demons and benefit the world. Lisa has proven this very well."

"But the Heavenly Charm Body has always been extremely mysterious, and I don't know what the situation will be like after the Heavenly Charm Body is activated."

"To be on the safe side, while Miko hasn't started cultivating yet, let's make some foolproof preparations."

"Don't worry, I won't have any prejudice against Miko because of the Heavenly Charm Body."

"Power is always controlled by people."

Miss Yae Miko was silent for a moment and said softly:

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and said softly:

"The time is about right. Everyone has made breakthroughs these past few days, and today the Qingluan also broke through to Refining Qi into God."

"Let's all go back and consolidate our cultivation."

Seeing that Jiang Yan intended to leave, Bai Zhu asked hurriedly:

"Sect Master, I wonder where Qiqi has gone? She doesn't seem to have appeared all day."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan laughed:

"I let Qiqi go to Liyue. She practices the Spirit-Shifting Shadow-Walking Technique, which ultimately requires practice."

"Moreover, if Qiqi breaks through as soon as possible, she can alleviate her own zombie condition, and her special constitution might also be activated."

"But the Shushan Sect doesn't have corpses for Qiqi to drive, so I let her go to Liyue to look for opportunities."

"Don't worry, Qiqi has the Golden Light Incantation I engraved on her, so nothing will happen."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yan still cared quite a bit about Qiqi, and the life-saving equipment on Qiqi was not lacking.

Even if she encountered a Demon God, Qiqi could still press him into driving corpses for her.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

After Bai Zhu bowed and thanked him, he left on his sword.

The others didn't stay long either, and after greeting Jiang Yan, they left one after another.

Miss Ganyu also pulled the preoccupied Miss Yae Miko and took the Qingluan to the Shushan Sect.

While Miss Yae Miko could still rest today, she would take her to see the scenery of the Shushan Sect.

By tomorrow, Miss Yae Miko would be busy with her cultivation transfer.

Jiang Yan was also about to leave when, suddenly, Lady Ningguang spoke up:

"Sect Master, I wonder if you have time? This disciple has a matter she would like to consult with the Sect Master."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly.

"Let's go to the Sect Hall to talk."

As the words fell, Jiang Yan's thoughts stirred, and he brought Lady Ningguang to the Sect Hall.

Jiang Yan sat cross-legged on a prayer mat and looked at Lady Ningguang.

The latter bowed and said: ===== CHAPTER 275 =====
