Chapter 561: Chapter 560: Jiang Li, do you know what you’ve written?

“Let’s not delve into these vexing matters. Actually, you weren’t here to find me—you were looking for the traces of the Alliance of Destruction, isn’t that so?”

“Though I largely ignore worldly matters, I do know some information about the Alliance of Destruction.”

“The core members of the Alliance of Destruction consist of eight demon cultivators.”

“They possess the bodies of some highly talented recent graduates or second-generation rich individuals. These people have strong backgrounds and with the guidance of Body Integration Realm cultivators, they have quickly worked their way up society.”

“Highly talented graduates become experts in certain fields, and wealthy heirs take over and expand the family businesses.”

“But all these are just superficial things.”

“The Alliance of Destruction is involved in diverse areas, such as public infrastructure construction, talent agencies, and so forth.”

“They are fervently constructing roads, building railways, nurturing pop stars, and have a massive influence on society. Some even label them as charity organizations. This is certainly not their true motive. Alas, I do not know what their ultimate goal is.”

“They aim to summon the Earth Immortal beast that will obliterate your world,” interjected Jiang Li who was standing nearby.

“What?! Have they lost their minds?” Both Daoist Huiming and the Demon Lord of Desolate Bones roared in unison, their transcendent tribulation aura terrifyingly potent.

As far as hatred is concerned, nothing could top their enmity towards this Earth Immortal beast in their lifetimes.

Jiang Li nonchalantly negated their transcendent tribulation aura, affording Wen Quan and the others to catch their breath.

Jiang Li pointed to his head: “I have been scanning this entire world with my divine sense and have discovered some oddities, such as companies constructing roads and railways at any cost. These roads and railways coincidentally form a special Formation.”

“The same goes for popstar singers—they hold concerts around the country, resonating their songs with the Formation to gradually activate it. The singers, of course, are oblivious to all of these.”

Wen Qing’er’s eyes widened, “Could it be that the leading male actor, Zhao Minghan, who I acted alongside…”

“That’s right. The company Zhao Minghan is a part of was established by the Alliance of Destruction.”

“The intricate overlap of the roads and railways forms a vast Formation capable of summoning the Earth Immortal beast. This Formation is incredibly secluded and advanced, making it hard for members of the Mutual Aid Society to discover.”

“Ridiculous fools! If I knew they were doing such disgraceful deeds, I would have skinned them alive to see if they are human or beasts!” The Demon Lord of Desolate Bones erupted in fury, regretting inaction in the past.

If only he agreed to join the Alliance of Destruction back then, he could have learned of these beastly men’s plans and avoided letting things escalate to this far.”

“Venerable Jiang, since you already knew, why did you not stop their plan?”

“Why should I stop them? There are three more months before the construction of their roads and railways is completed,” Jiang Li retorted Wen Quan. He greatly appreciated the construction spirit of the Alliance of Destruction that benefited the country and the people.”

“…” Wen Quan reacted after a beat, catching up to Jiang Li’s train of thought.

“I asked Bai Hong… Oh no, I mean I’m somewhat knowledgeable about Formations, so I recognized at one glance that the Formation the Alliance of Destruction is building can only summon entities of this world.”

“I suspect that the Earth Immortal beast that destroyed the Jingyu World did not actually depart but has been wandering around the universe all along. What the Alliance of Destruction is doing is essentially opening a gate for this Earth Immortal beast.”

“Let’s wait for three more months. Once the roads and railways are completed, the Earth Immortal beast arrives, and I will exterminate the beast. Perfect, isn’t it?”

“Once the Alliance of Destruction fulfills their goal of summoning the Earth Immortal beast, the coverage of your Qin Heart World’s fundamental infrastructure improves, and I destroy the beast—everyone’s objectives are realized.” Jiang Li’s thorough consideration made him believe that all parties would be content with this outcome.

“On behalf of the Alliance of Destruction, I extend our gratitude to you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“Since you already know something about it, then you’re going to the Mutual Aid Society and searching for the Demon Lord of Desolate Bones in the ghost house is for…”

“Just to toy around.”

“Oh right, let me see that cultivation technique of yours that strengthens you by absorbing negative emotions.” Jiang Li expressed interest in this technique. The technique used by the Yellow Commander is somewhat similar, but it also has its differences.

“Take it.” The Demon Lord of Desolate Bones did not hide anything.

“The ‘Sullen Heavens Sorrow Technique,’ so that’s how it works. It employs such operational principles. Allow me half an hour. There’s a vast margin for advancing this technique.”

The Demon Lord of Desolate Bones cast a puzzled look at Daoist Huiming. Daoist Huiming shrugged, indicating no intention to speak.

Yet, half an hour passed and Jiang Li still made no move to write.

Even Daoist Huiming was unsure of Jiang Li’s intentions. Could it be so hard to modify this technique?

Half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half…

After a total of an hour and a half, as if realizing something, Jiang Li finally began writing.

A few minutes later, Jiang Li has summarized all his thoughts and wrote them down on several sheets of paper.

“It is complete.”

“May I have a look?” The Demon Lord of Desolate Bones was itching to see what Jiang Li wrote.

“Of course, you all can.” Jiang Li had no objections.

The Demon Lord of Desolate Bones and Daoist Huiming then hurriedly scrambled to read the sheets.

Jiang Li, fearing they might not understand, began explaining: “The ‘Sullen Heavens Sorrow Technique’ leverages negative emotions, circulating the channels, absorbing spiritual energy, and strengthening oneself.”

“So, I began wondering. If negative emotions are a method to fortify people and the cultivation of this technique itself induces negative emotions, can’t we use the negative emotions of the cultivator to boost cultivation?”

“To figure this out, I spent quite some time. Usually, in this period, I could have written three Cultivation Techniques at the Golden Immortal level.”

“Finally, I found this to be a feasible concept.”

“Shed your negative emotions, forming a unique entity, then reintroduce this new entity back into your body to become stronger.”

Daoist Huiming and the Demon Lord of Desolate Bones looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other’s eyes. They even felt their souls trembling.

Daoist Huiming swallowed and said: “Daoist friend Jiang Li, do you know what you’ve written?”

“It’s the successor to the ‘Sullen Heavens Sorrow Technique,'” Jiang Li replied, puzzled by their reactions.

The Demon Lord of Desolate Bones continued: “My master, the immortal who ascended to the Immortal Realm, once told me that he had the privilege of listening to the Supreme Grandmaster’s sermon. Although my master couldn’t comprehend the sermon, he still retained it and, after multiple analyses and discussions with confidantes, finally understood a bit of the Supreme Grandmaster’s teachings.”

“The Supreme Grandmaster mentioned that the ‘Three Corpses’ are composed of the Upper Corpse, Middle Corpse, and Lower Corpse, also known as the Good Corpse, Evil Corpse, and Self Corpse, respectively.”

“The Good Corpse represents a person’s kindness, sprung from positive emotions. The Evil Corpse signifies the filth within a person’s heart, sourced from negative emotions. The Self Corpse denotes a person’s original self and embodies authenticity, making it the origin of the word ‘Spiritual Cultivation.'”

“Daoist friend Jiang Li, what you’ve written is actually the part concerning the Evil Corpse in the method of cultivating the ‘Three Corpses’!”

By the time he finished speaking, the Demon Lord of Desolate Bones’ voice was trembling. He felt like he underestimated this Daoist friend Jiang Li.

Two transcendent tribulation stage experts couldn’t help but feel terror-stricken. In only an hour and a half, this Daoist friend Jiang Li has comprehended one-third of the Three Corpses Cultivation Method.

Is he even human?
