Chapter 97: Your Own Cultivation System Is the Strongest System!

The information provided by 【Mie Changsheng】 at this moment.

Neither Jiu Jiu nor Long Xi were in a state of confusion; rather than confusion, it was more that demons have their own rules, and the Human Race has their own rules, and the information between the two sides was unequal from the very beginning.

Before Jiu Jiu had ever come into contact with Gu Jiangming, she had indeed encountered human cultivators, but certainly not with such detailed classifications.

Daoism, the Buddhist Sect, or those using strange and peculiar Technique Formulas—to Jiu Jiu, weren't they all just cultivators?

On the contrary, Gu Jiangming and Wang Qinghe revealed expressions of sudden realization upon seeing the prompts in 【Mie Changsheng】.

Clan cultivators?

Gu Jiangming had encountered them before.

During the Hundred Demons Night Parade and the four types of Evil Spirits, Gu Jiangming led Shushan Disciples down the mountain to subdue demons and devils; at that time, the Celestial Master Mansion encountered an Evil Spirit demon in Yangzhou that they could not resolve, known as Jia Zhi.

Aside from Gu Jiangming and Zhang Tianze, the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master Mansion, there were also esoteric cultivators from the Eastern Hu Ma Family and the Yunnan Mu Clan.

These people were clearly not gathered as a single sect or faction, but survived in the manner of clan families.

This is just like that 【Reincarnation Simulation】 from ten thousand years ago, where behind the organization known as the Heavenly Dao, there was clearly a hidden dark thread; what kind of story was hidden between Liu Moran, this junior sister, and one of his "past lives"—all of this was unknown.

【Having no better choice, Long Xi had no choice but to move into the side chamber.】

Gu Jiangming took a look; Long Xi's aura was one in ten thousand, an extremely rare gold.

This type of aura represents: if others do not offend me, I will not offend others.

Gold is the rarest and most special among these four situations, and it is a type that can only appear under theoretical conditions.

【Inside Jiu Jiu's residence, under Jiu Jiu's arrangement, Her Highness Long Xi moved into the side chamber of the side wing; she was very dissatisfied with this arrangement, but Jiu Jiu's attitude was very firm.】

Mainly because... Gu Jiangming was the one who created these Technique Formulas and esoteric arts.

And Jiu Jiu, as expected, had a gray-white aura with faint golden dots.

Shushan Physiognomy Technique is the observation of the other party's aura through divine sense; if the subject being observed has a blood-colored aura on their body, it indicates that they usually carry many killing sins, and one can judge whether the other party's sins are deep based on the richness of the blood color; if it is bright enough, it also means the other party has killed someone recently.

Aside from these colors, there are also white, black, and gold.

Even though Gu Jiangming was imagining the appearance of these techniques based on a template, in the end, there was no Shushan in this world, and there were no such esoteric techniques.

Cultivating the techniques one created oneself again is like a mastery that comes with instinct; it is like a signature skill—it was already one's own thing, and one understands it instantly.

【Currently, after your careful sorting, you believe that you lack sufficient information and cognition, have no accurate assessment of the true capabilities of clan cultivators, and cannot judge what level your combat power has reached in your normal state.】

【Thus, you used the Physiognomy Technique to ambush the Qingmu Hall hall located under the Red Workshop, carefully selecting your target.】

Most entry-level Shushan Disciples have a very small range for their Sword Control Technique, and if the distance is exceeded, the speed of flight and the ability to cause damage will also drop significantly.

【But heaven rewards diligence; during your hard cultivation throughout the night, you have achieved preliminary mastery of the Shushan Sword Control Technique, Shushan Sword Qi Slash, Shushan Physiognomy Technique, Cave Heaven Eye, and other techniques and esoteric arts.】

【But out of your own stance, you refuse to let yourself degenerate and join the ranks of the riffraff.】

Using 【Mie Changsheng】 as a medium, Gu Jiangming, through his self in 【Mie Changsheng】, made continuous efforts, cultivating for over a hundred years and constantly perfecting it, which finally brought about this cultivation system.

Gu Jiangming, this little black hand, gave a gentle push, and while at the center of the vortex, he completely plucked out this dark thread.

【This night, smelling the familiar scent, a faint sense of security arose in Long Xi's heart, and she slept very comfortably.】

【Indisputable.】

Then, interwoven under the main plot was a dark thread regarding the fall of the Northern Wei, led by multiple parties; it was just that in the perspective of Gu Jiangming's 【Reincarnation Simulation】, the fall of the Northern Wei was glossed over in just a few simple sentences.

【You have carried out a certain degree of development on the Taiyi Stone within your body.】

His cultivation realm did not improve, but he tested and practiced some of the more commonly used Technique Formulas from the memories of the 【Shushan Dao Venerable】.

【Through exploration, you learned that within this Guanzhong, there is a force called the "Red Workshop," and Qingmu Hall is a hall within the Red Workshop.】

【But you did not sleep all night.】

【For the first time, you felt the existence of pressure; you gave up all unnecessary activities and fell into focused cultivation.】

【You know in your heart that if you want to obtain more information, sneaking into a force with status in the local area is the best choice.】

The current Northern Wei Imperial Family cannot suppress these cultivators among the Hundred Schools, which directly led to a loss of control in the traditional sense.

The Shushan three-piece set has already seen initial results.

If one says that in that 【Shushan Dao Venerable】 reincarnation, establishing Shushan, promoting Shushan, and strengthening Shushan was an extremely clear main thread for Gu Jiangming.

For someone like Gu Jiangming to be able to reach this level as soon as he starts is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

Gu Jiangming has to dig deep himself.

Among the few Technique Formulas and esoteric arts Gu Jiangming holds in his hands now, only the Shushan Sword Qi Slash possesses powerful lethality.

It can distinguish different situations; among them, white is the most widespread, and most ordinary people's auras are white.

【And Long Xi, who had intended to sneak into your room at night, fell into a long-lost sweet dream because she was too sleepy and her dragon nature is lazy.】

The Sword Control Technique consumes a lot of Spirit Qi and mental energy.

Gu Jiangming exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Among them, in situations of emergency self-defense where one is forced to kill, it is white with a bit of black.

Gu Jiangming pointed lightly, and the Ting Shui Xuan in his hand was already vibrating continuously under the drive of the Spirit Qi in his body, flying toward the position he had in mind.

【You began to explore the entire Guanzhong.】

【You saw a Qingmu Hall assassin with an extremely thick blood-colored aura on his body, after having selected a target.】

【You tracked the other party.】

【The other party did not notice your tracking.】

【You found the best opportunity, struck suddenly, and with a sudden Sword Control Technique, sealed the throat with one sword.】

【You obtained the Token of a gold-ranked assassin of Qingmu Hall.】

【After a search, you obtained 2000 taels of silver banknotes, two gold ingots, and a hard qigong manual called Nine Rivers Soaring Arhat.】

【Due to the turmoil in the Northern Wei government, the credibility of the government has declined significantly, and the value of silver banknotes has therefore fallen sharply; 2000 taels of silver banknotes can now be exchanged for at most 200 taels of silver.】

【After a simple judgment, you used the cultivation system you created in Shushan to compare with the strength of this Qingmu Hall assassin before you.】

【Although he is a gold-ranked assassin of Qingmu Hall, he is at most a cultivator at the Body Refining Stage; at best, he can only be called a martial arts expert.】

【And you soon realize a common-sense problem you had never noticed before.】

【Compared to ten thousand years ago, the content of Spirit Qi in Heaven and Earth in this era is negligible; in other words, the difficulty of Qi Refining is countless times higher than that of Body Refining.】

【Those who can still become cultivators through Qi Refining under such circumstances could be called geniuses ten thousand years ago.】

【It is because conditions do not allow it that this phenomenon has evolved.】

【In other words, the cultivation system you created back then, which focuses on Body Refining, is the choice that best fits the current situation.】

【This also means that the cultivation system created by Shushan is the optimal solution for this era.】

【Whether they are aristocratic family cultivators, Daoism disciples, or Buddhism monks, although they all have their own cultivation frameworks, none are as good as the framework you have built.】

【That future Daoism disciples primarily use the Shushan Disciple cultivation system is enough to show that this framework has its unique merits.】

【What you need to do is let others cultivate using your framework, rather than putting the cart before the horse and binding yourself according to the original rules here.】

【You must remember one thing: the cultivation system you established yourself is the strongest system.】

The prompt from the Mie Changsheng information made Gu Jiangming's eyes light up.

That's right.

Rather than letting himself go and investigate the chaotic system of the Hundred Schools Rebellion where everyone has their own version of the truth, it is better to find a way to make Gu Jiangming's cultivation framework the mainstream of this era.

It just so happens that in his main storyline, there is a path to founding Shushan, and these two can be perfectly combined.

The search function of the 【Mie Changsheng】 diary can also dig up extra information and hints for Gu Jiangming; it always has some whimsical ideas that can spark Gu Jiangming's train of thought.

【You simply dig a small pit and bury him there.】

【Holding the Token of a gold-medal assassin of Qingmu Hall, you can attempt to enter and exit Qingmu Hall through this token.】

【But your actions need to be cautious; a force hidden in the capital like this is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface, and your first stealth attempt might end in failure.】

Meanwhile.

The situation on Wang Qinghe's side is truly exceptionally dangerous.

She is the only one who can come into contact with the "Hundred Schools Rebellion."

After meeting Gu Jiangming once in Jingshi, she returned to Liangzhou to wait for the normal plot of the Reincarnation to unfold.

She did not wait for Baishou Yao, nor did she wait for Gu Jiangming.

What she waited for first was an unprecedented riot within Liangzhou.

【The place where you are located is called Wuwei; after the Liangzhou Yin Clan launched the riot, they controlled the local area with extreme speed.】

【Many people are unwilling to submit to this local aristocratic family that is not well-known and keeps a low profile.】

【Your father, Wang Jue, does not know where to turn; on one hand, he thinks the mountains are high and the Emperor is far away, Liangzhou is a frontier land, and the Northern Wei Imperial Family cannot save them in time, but on the other hand, he feels that if he yields easily, it will tarnish the prestige of the Wang Gate Blade.】

Wang Qinghe obtained the information from 【Mie Changsheng】 and learned about the "Heavenly Bright Change" and the "Hundred Schools Rebellion," so this Yin Clan is clearly a lineage in Liangzhou.

Seeing the Northern Wei Imperial Family in decline, they were the first to emerge to carve up the territory of Northern Wei.

But without a doubt, Wang Qinghe and this group are natural enemies.

Because in her first Reincarnation Simulation, when the Wang family was exterminated by Baishou Yao, since the Yin Clan were local aristocratic cultivators, they must have had the ability to help, but they chose to stand by and watch.

Based on this alone, one can tell that the Yin Clan has grand designs and their nature is unpredictable; following them will clearly lead to no good.

Fortunately, in the present world, she discovered the abnormality at the first moment and noticed that her own brother had joined the Dajing Imperial City Division, so Wang Qinghe spared no effort to dig deep into the founding history of the Dajing Dynasty.

Sure enough, because of the Reincarnation Simulation, history has undergone new changes.

Under Dajing's command, an agency called the Imperial City Division has appeared.

And now, the Reincarnation of hundreds of years ago has once again undergone new changes; these changed events are highly likely to affect the future again.

Then, as for this Yin Clan, which was just a local warlord in the original history, even if given another chance.

Incompetence is incompetence.

What right do they have to step on her head when they can only leave a few lines in history, defined as rebels?

Ten thousand years ago, her man was a heaven-propping powerhouse, and she, Wang Qinghe, was the daughter of the head of the Seven Great Sects; her fate is set here.

Gu Jiangming can change the world line.

Can I, Wang Qinghe, not change the world line?

With the foundation of the Zhenggang Sect, you aristocratic lineages surely cannot be more ancient than my ten-thousand-year heritage, right?

Although limited by Spirit Qi, many things cannot be used, but after filtering, there are still quite a few simple techniques that Wang Qinghe can use.

Not to mention there is the powerful information assistance of 【Mie Changsheng】.

【The Yin Clan in Liangzhou, facing those who do not submit to them, chose the cruelest method of slaughter, and the strange techniques they hold in their hands were thus revealed.】

【This is a strange technique called "Yinhun Curse"; through curse arts, it makes people fall into hallucinations unknowingly, and it can also be actively released to summon two twin Yin spirits to assist in the attack.】

【You have experienced the baptism of several catastrophes, and your mental strength is incomparably tough; the illusion effect of the "Yinhun Curse" is negligible to you.】

【And the Heavenly Gang Five Thunders you hold have an outstanding damage effect on such Yin spirits.】

【The only problem troubling you is that the Spirit Qi in your body is too scarce; you can release the Heavenly Gang Five Thunders at most three or four times before you will fall into a situation of Spirit Qi exhaustion.】

【Unable to determine exactly how many people on the other side are proficient in strange techniques like the "Yinhun Curse," you must try to avoid large-scale conflicts.】

【In your cautious investigation, you learn that the Yin Clan is very eager to obtain the Northern Wei Imperial Family's secret, "Heavenly Emperor Solitude."】

【They believe that "Heavenly Emperor Solitude" is the key to opening the pinnacle of Technique Formulas and strange arts; having obtained "Heavenly Emperor Solitude," one obtains theoretical immortality and even has the chance to become a god.】

【The Pei currently controlling Guanzhong are also searching for the whereabouts of "Heavenly Emperor Solitude."】

【Suppressed by the Northern Wei Imperial Family for hundreds of years, they want to crack the mysteries within "Heavenly Emperor Solitude" and once again master this power to become the new dragon vein ruling all the people under Heaven and Earth.】

【Regrettably, the Northern Wei Imperial Family who learned "Heavenly Emperor Solitude" are either dead or missing, and the little emperor now placed on the throne by the Pei has never cultivated "Heavenly Emperor Solitude" at all.】

And before Jiu Jiu's gate.

A figure flashed by quietly.

【Tonight, you encounter an uninvited guest at home.】

【She is a woman.】

【But what you secretly rejoice in your heart is that you do not know her at all.】

【You let out a long sigh of relief.】

【Regrettably, Jiu Jiu maintains a fully respectful skepticism toward this, because apart from you, no one else could attract such trouble.】

【However, you had met once before, and you realize that the woman before your eyes is precisely the person who was being hunted by the Essence Refining Guard at that time.】

【You have encountered the second part of the event.】
