Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1035 - 119: For Sacrifice, Ambition So Lofty

Zhen Ru Daoist was running wildly in the underground city of Spirit Phoenix Island, laughing madly, clearly having lost his mind.

Generally, a Nascent Soul Cultivator also has the ability to remain "unperturbed by circumstances." However, the Heart Demon Curse can inexplicably give rise to obsession within that pure mental state, or amplify a small obsession manifold. Any small shock can shake the unstable mind of an obsessive person.

Being captured by a Golden Core Stage cultivator, turned into something akin to a Spirit Slave, losing freedom...

Even compliance doesn't ensure survival... The opponent's wanton behavior is outrageous...

Rather than living in such a miserable state, it would be better to die a magnificent death!

Take that Little Demon with me to die!

Before that Little Demon discovers...

Zhen Ru Daoist had already calculated it. The Little Demon's Spell only targeted the words he spoke, never the thoughts in his heart—after all, the other party was merely at the Golden Core Stage and could not truly invade the mind of him, a Divine Separation Stage Cultivator. He had also tested before, no matter how much he insulted Wang Qi in his mind, or how many "Forbidden Words" he spoke, nothing would happen.

"That Little Demon must have listed many words as Forbidden Words, intending to make my words incoherent, make me unable to speak... However, if I voluntarily open my soul for others to view, he won't discover it for a while!"

"Yes, as long as I let the Holy Emperor Venerable, or other seniors from the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao search my soul, I can expose all of the Little Demon's schemes!"

.................................

Zhen Chan asked in confusion, "How did you do it?"

Wang Qi closed his notebook, transferring it into a calculator terminal resembling a jade tablet, and calmly said, "Do you know why I only control 'spoken words', without restricting what's thought inside the mind? Because it's actually too troublesome. A person's thinking is chaotic and unpredictable; it's not surprising for it to diverge in any manner. If my restriction on the 'Forbidden Words Mechanism' was triggered by just 'thinking about it', then within a few days, all those afflicted with 'Loser Eats Dust' would die off. So generally, I don't seal someone's thoughts."

"Not because you can't, but because you don't need to?"

Wang Qi nodded and pointed again at the jade tablet, "However, this isn't particularly wondrous technology. I just need to mention the same word multiple times in front of them, then based on their brain and Primordial Spirit's response, I can determine the exact location of their 'memory structure'. Then, if these locations respond to stimuli, it indicates that the person is thinking about 'some matter'—look, there are papers and technical applications from the Immortal Alliance Secret Vault. It's an interrogation Spell."

Zhen Chan pondered, "The words you repeatedly mentioned in front of them..."

"My name 'Wang Qi' itself, 'Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao' 'Holy Emperor Venerable' 'High Order Cultivator' 'Soul Search' 'Self-Sacrifice' 'Mutual Destruction'... If eighty percent of these designated areas are triggered, it will activate a mechanism within the person."

"Additionally, when an external Soul Searching Technique is detected, this mechanism will also activate."

Wang Qi called up more than twenty papers. The Immortal Alliance had also researched the Soul Searching Technique—of course, it was also a high-level secret project.

However, no document, no matter how classified, could surpass the "Ultimate Picture", an overwhelming darkness capable of crushing civilization. Wang Qi had some knowledge of the Ultimate Picture, so these levels of confidentiality were already trivial to him.

Zhen Chan was shocked, "Meaning..."

"Actually, I was always waiting for those from the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao to become desperate in their search for the truth and conduct large-scale soul searches on their people. But now, time is a bit tight, so I just let the people here do it on their own. Whether it's Mrs. Huansha, or Zhen Ru Daoist, it doesn't matter."

Zhen Chan quickly asked, "What exactly does your 'mechanism' do?"

Wang Qi thought for a moment, "In the first stage, it's a destructive mechanism. It merely rapidly and massively replicates meaningless Spirit Sense, occupying the opponent's ability to think. This 'occupying' is aimed at the subconscious, so in this stage, the Taker won't feel anything... They might just feel their thoughts are difficult to process and give up thinking?"

............................................

The more Zhen Ru Daoist ran, the more obsessive he became, his expression increasingly deranged.

What would happen to him after a soul search—no matter!

The Ruyi Daoist School's legacy—no matter!

Whether this has any meaning—no matter!

Is it worth it—no matter!

Life is the most important; there's no need to sacrifice everything for a single hatred—no matter!

—I have already... given up thinking!

—Little Demon, I'm ready to fight you to the death!

As a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator, the Body Refining Techniques were also extraordinary. In an instant, Zhen Ru Daoist had reached the door of the Forbidden City's Phoenix Tomb.

With a loud shout, Zheng Wentai, the Body Integration Realm cultivator from Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao, shouted: "Halt! Do not act rashly around the Forbidden City!"

Zhen Ru Daoist, tears streaming, shouted wildly: "Quick! Search my soul!"

............................................

"By the way, if this guy didn't continue courting death and suppressed the thought of 'reporting', those copied meaningless data would automatically delete themselves after a quarter of an hour. However, if at this stage, he approaches the Forbidden City or a high-order cultivator of the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao, the mechanism will enter the second phase, which is memory deletion. Incidentally, if someone forcibly performs a soul search, the mechanism will directly enter the second and third phases."

"His own controlled power would be directly awakened, and all memory structures related to 'Wang Qi' would be erased in one go. Additionally, memories about 'forgery', 'deception', and 'acting' would be selectively deleted—even his own deceptive memories would be erased. In other words, even if a soul search is performed, the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao wouldn't find much..."

Wang Qi manipulated data on the jade terminal. Watching the progress bar, he tapped the edge of the jade plate with his finger and continued, "They'll find a lot of meaningless garbled text and something like 'Reincarnation Realm'? 'Daoist Yixin died in the Reincarnation Realm, could it be 'BEEP's doing? Or 'The War of Luofu Xuanqing Palace's Destruction Ten Thousand Years Ago is Suspicious'?"

Zhen Chan immediately understood and let out a sinister laugh, "Those guys from the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao wouldn't suspect someone who desperately delivers a message—especially if they risk being soul-searched. However, partial truths do not equate to the whole truth!"

Wang Qi clapped his hands, "Ah, almost forgot, I also implanted a Ruyi Thunder Spell in his heart! When this Ruyi Thunder Spell erupts, that poor guy will be driven into a frenzy, attacking recklessly. As long as a cultivator from the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao hesitates slightly, the information will be completely deleted."

........................

Zheng Wentai had never heard such a strange request in his life. He slowly descended and frowned, saying, "A Nascent Soul junior from the Ruyi Daoist School? Have you gone insane with Deviation? This is the Forbidden City of the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao, not a place for you to act recklessly!"

Zhen Ru Daoist urgently explained, "No, I was controlled by..."

At that moment, a surge of rage overtook him. He suddenly felt a wave of anger.

—I risked my life to report to you, and this is how you treat me?

He shouldn't have been so easily controlled by the Heart Demon Curse. Being a Divine Separation Stage cultivator, he had just begun exploring Divine Separation Sense Transformation. If it were a normal Heart Demon Curse infiltrating, he could have resisted somewhat with Ruyi Qi. However, he had been crushed by Wang Qi, giving up resistance, and was soaked through with the Supreme Heart Demon Curse, also disturbed by the Divine Plague Curse Technique, making it impossible to control his consciousness.

Thus, the urge to destroy instantly overwhelmed his rationality.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Zhen Ru Daoist roared in madness, purple thunder suddenly leaving his body. This pure rage lightning born from his spirit, combined inch by inch with the highly materialized, form-shattering yet essence-retaining Ruyi Qi, produced an effect where one plus one exceeded two.

In a short moment, Zhen Ru Daoist gathered a power in his hands akin to divine might. He raised both hands high, clasping his fists together, like Thunder God wielding a hammer, unleashing a massive frenzied thunderbolt.

Zheng Wentai reprimanded, "Have you gone mad?"

He was merely taken aback; the Ruyi Daoist School revered the path of Taixu and usually disliked various spells and divine skills. Where did this seemingly strong Thunder Law come from? However, he was not afraid.

Zhen Ru Daoist was merely a Nascent Soul, just a Nascent Soul. Even using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique to call upon a blow far surpassing his own realm, it could not shake him in the slightest.

However, after waving his sleeve to disperse the thunder, he widened his eyes.

"This Thunder Law... at first glance, it does look somewhat like the Thunder Demon Generalization True Technique of the Thunder Night Sect, but with this extremely bizarre penetrative and infectious nature... even legendary Demon Path figures were nothing more than this!"

With the thinking speed of a Body Integration Realm cultivator, Zheng Wentai quickly figured it out.

"He's being controlled by an Evil Demon!"

"He must be under restriction, unable to speak the truth! So he wants me to soul search him to reveal the true face of the demon!"

"A good man, a brave and loyal person!"

Zheng Wentai praised him inwardly, then waved his sleeve again to break Zhen Ru Daoist's offense, extending his hand to grasp the back of his neck, severing Zhen Ru's limbs to prevent his struggle. Next, he extended his right hand, pressing it onto Zhen Ru Daoist's crown, activating a divine skill.

"Soul Searching and Capturing!"

A point of True Spirit in Zhen Ru Daoist's Mud Pill Palace was instantly destroyed, and after losing his personality, all memories were presented in an open state. Zheng Wentai closed his eyes, carefully sensing the other party's memories.

Then...

It was an indescribable feeling.

It was a sense of chaos beyond the capabilities of human language.

Zhen Ru Daoist's memories were filled with indescribable fragments!

"What is this..."

Zheng Wentai exclaimed.

At the same time, a piece of information entered his body along the soul-searching spell.

And then it began self-replicating.

........................

Wang Qi's fingers tapping on the jade plate paused for a moment.

"Ah, the show has begun!"
