Novel Full Chapter 847
The situation was even worse than expected.
It wasn’t just Congyun Sea.
Across various regions of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the illustrated books of Senior Sister Zhao were secretly circulating.
Cultivators have their own pride.
Naturally, they wouldn’t openly admit to secretly browsing such books.
However, the content of these illustrated books was truly captivating.
As long as one’s will wasn’t exceptionally strong, after viewing them, they would inevitably be overwhelmed with endless thoughts and become mentally unsettled.
Even seeking out other cultivators to vent their desires couldn’t dispel the obsession.
They only wanted to see more illustrated books about Senior Sister Zhao.
At this point, even more explicit and realistic illustrated books would mysteriously appear in the shadows.Step by step, they lured cultivators further into the abyss.
The most critical aspect was that the timing was impeccable.
From top to bottom, the entire Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance was focused on the grand-scale entry examination.
No one noticed that, in an unnoticed corner, something extremely dangerous was spreading silently within the alliance.
“Can’t wait to start testing the waters already?”
“Have they already realized that the Immortal Ancestor has left the Xuanhuang Realm?”
Ji Shaoli’s expression was unreadable.
The methods of the Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign were beyond comprehension.
Even a weaker Longevity Immortal could effortlessly overwhelm ordinary cultivators. It was almost impossible to guard against.
Even Dao Integration-level cultivators still fell within this “ordinary” category.
Thus, Ji Shaoli wasn’t surprised at all that He Zhenghao fell into the trap.
Even though He Zhenghao constantly thought about his wife and daughter, after seeing Senior Sister Zhao’s scandalous deeds, his soul was completely ensnared.
One had to understand—even though He Zhenghao was no longer worth Li Fan’s attention, he was still an outstanding cultivator.
Without power or influence, he fought his way up alone.
Even under suppression, he managed to become a guardian of an island and made significant achievements in formation techniques, allowing him to converse on equal footing with the many formation masters of the Formation Hall…
There were countless cultivators weaker than him!
Yet, even he succumbed to Senior Sister Zhao’s illustrated books.
One could only imagine how other cultivators would fare.
“This is a hundred times more dangerous than the Heart-Desires Ascension Pill.”
“And yet, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance allowed it to spread unnoticed.”
“Should I warn them…?”
Ji Shaoli was hesitant.
Even though he wanted to see the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance suffer a crushing defeat and be forced to reveal their last trump card…
When facing the means of the One-Heart Heavenly Sovereign, he couldn’t help but feel a trace of fear in his heart.
“The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance should have its own countermeasures. It’s not my concern.”
After contemplating for a moment, Ji Shaoli ultimately chose not to interfere.
Instead, he simply instructed the cultivators within the Mutual Aid Association:
Do not, under any circumstances, let curiosity lead you to look at these illustrated books.
At the same time, he ordered them to closely observe any subtle changes in the shadows.
But soon, Ji Shaoli realized that he had underestimated the abilities of the One-Heart Heavenly Sovereign.
As the saying goes—curiosity killed the cat.
Simply knowing the danger was not enough to completely suppress one’s thoughts.
Moreover, after learning that the subject of these illustrated books was none other than a top-tier powerhouse of the Xuanhuang Realm, a Heavenly Sovereign of the Five Elders Association…
They became even more curious about the book’s contents.
At the same time, they carried a hint of luck and confidence in their own willpower.
“It’s just a glance. It shouldn’t be a big deal… right?”
Once such a thought emerged, it was impossible to erase.
Instead, as time passed, their obsession only grew stronger.
Their minds became restless.
Desires that could not be satisfied began to expand without limit.
By the time Ji Shaoli realized something was wrong, three members of the Mutual Aid Association had already succumbed.
Unable to resist, they secretly acquired the illustrated books and indulged in them.
Shocked, Ji Shaoli had no choice but to lock them away in a dark chamber.
Supervising them as they purified their minds.
“This is truly impossible to guard against…”
Hearing the voices filled with resentment and curses coming from the darkness, along with their frenzied and deranged behavior, Ji Shaoli’s expression flickered.
“This is only the early stage, and I immediately cut off its influence.”
“But those cultivators who have already fallen deep into it…”
A chill crept into Ji Shaoli’s heart.
“Although Senior Sister Zhao may be somewhat weak in actual combat, her influence over cultivators is truly no less than that of any Heavenly Sovereign.”
To prevent more members of the Mutual Aid Association from falling into this trap, Ji Shaoli decisively recalled all of them.
Once again, he sealed off Haixuan Island.
“There’s still some time before the entrance examination. I refuse to believe that the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is completely unaware of this.”
“Let’s see how they respond.”
Just as Ji Shaoli had expected.
As more and more cultivators fell under the influence of Senior Sister Zhao’s illustrated book, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance finally began to take notice.
And the measures they took provided Ji Shaoli with an invaluable lesson.
They did not make a grand public effort to ban the circulation of the illustrated book.
In fact, the officials did not even mention the book’s existence at all.
Instead, almost overnight, thousands of different secret tomes suddenly began to circulate within the alliance.
All of these had previously been banned and prohibited from distribution or trade.
Among them was even the
“Illustration of the Immortal Ancestor Seizing the Supreme Primordial True Scripture.”
which Li Fan had come across before.
As well as “Devouring Father, Consuming Mother: The Demon Infant’s Tale of Forgetting Worries”, “The Scholar’s Boastful Words Sever the River Illusion Diagram”, and many others…
There were both written texts and illustrated records.
Their contents were bizarre and mysterious, with each one unique. Some even directly contradicted one another.
But they all had one thing in common—
They were all related to the five Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns of the Five Elders Association.
Previously, the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance only knew that these five Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereigns existed within the Five Elders Association.
Beyond that, they knew nothing.
Now, with so many secret revelations appearing all at once, they naturally captured everyone’s attention.
Soon, the contents of these books became the hottest topic within the alliance.
No matter where one went, cultivators could be found discussing them.
Even those who usually paid no attention to worldly affairs were drawn in by the fervor of widespread debate and curiosity.
Ji Shaoli also noticed that, under these circumstances, the allure of Senior Sister Zhao’s illustrated book had unknowingly weakened.
Among the secret tomes released by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, many naturally contained information about One-Heart Heavenly Sovereign.
They did not deliberately downplay the erotic aspects; rather, they interwove thrilling and inspirational tales of a mighty figure rising from obscurity to revive their sect—while still incorporating plenty of stimulating and blood-boiling content.
Yet, while these accounts were indeed captivating, compared to the illustrations spread by the Five Elders Association—
They lacked that fatal temptation.
After reading them, people would not become obsessed to the point of losing their appetite and sleep.
They would feel a surge of excitement but then quickly forget about it.
Ji Shaoli mused, “Once the veil of mystery is lifted, the allure diminishes in layers.”
“After reading it once, seeing it again becomes dull and uninteresting. Of course, they don’t realize that the versions of Senior Sister Zhao’s illustrated book distributed by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and the Five Elders Association are actually two completely different things.”
“And naturally, this atmosphere of widespread discussion itself acts as another barrier.”
