Chapter 1430: Chapter 676: Demon 3

"Of course, it’s best to make it look believable. Wrap everything in an Immortal Skin before presenting it. Be cautious; if you build a Star Destroyer on the first day, even a fool will know there’s something off."

Bai Zi understood,

"Oh, I get it. So you have to seize Zhu Yuer’s level of authority. He’s definitely a VIP Dao Body custom-made by the boss! You must have hacked some boss’s credit card! By producing it under the company’s external authority and using Immortal Skin as a cover, you can clean it up without anyone noticing!

So that’s the way it is, that’s the way it is! It seems the Moon Base is just your shield! A Blinding Technique! This is actually your second base, isn’t it? Hehe, you really are ruthless, selling the 180,000 disciples of Void Star Temple!"

"When the skin is gone, where will the fur attach? As long as we can win, an entire string can be sacrificed, what’s merely 180,000 lives?"

Hei Zi casually closed the Scripture Pavilion and pointed to the stone at the doorway.

"Besides the Scripture Pavilion, this stone is the most important."

"Stone?"

Tie Dan looked closely, and it was indeed just a stone, all gray and dull, not Sun Ice.

Bai Zi touched it and saw the stone flash with golden light, immediately understanding,

"A Testing Stone, used to test the Spirit Roots of mortals, just like in novels, wow! Single Spirit Root! Wow! Heavenly Spirit Root! Wow! The legend of gold~~!"

Hei Zi said,

"No, it’s a Wishing Stone. This stone is a non-object, a projection of an All-Powerful God from a high-dimensional universe, which I’ve turned into a Testing Stone.

As long as you hint to the tester ’you must have a Spirit Root to become an apprentice,’ and the tester wishes to obtain a Spirit Root and pass the test,

the stone will fulfill this wish and give them a Spirit Root."

This confused Bai Zi,

"What’s the point of this? Cultivation is far more than just natural talent and root bone; it also depends on comprehension, diligence, experience, and talent and learning, none of which can be lacking. What’s the point of the test then?"

Hei Zi said,

"Of course there’s meaning, because selecting this way picks those who have both the qualification and the willingness to become apprentices.

Likewise, if someone comes not to become an apprentice, the stone will fulfill their desire, take away their Spirit Root, making them fail the test."

Bai Zi exclaimed, "Ah damn, you sly fox."

Hei Zi chuckled,

"It’s not just that, you can use this to reset attributes, because testing or apprenticeship isn’t a necessary condition; wishing is.

So, as long as you ’carry strong wishes’ when touching it, your root bone and natural talent can transform among the Nine Luminaries."

Tie Dan exclaimed, "Damn unbelievable! Why should I bother with Nine Luminaries Unification!?"

Hei Zi shrugged,

"However, this non-object only affects those below Refining Qi and Transforming God. Its effects are counteracted by the Tao Domain rules of the Enlightenment Realm.

Furthermore, root bone is just attribute transformation; it won’t change the True Qi in the Qi Sea, meridians, and organs. So to reset attributes, you must disperse your cultivation to avoid being possessed by a demon."

This thing is mainly to ensure, in case a disciple with shallow Daoist is contaminated by Sha Qi, invading the bone marrow and organs, losing power.

With this stone, you can reset attributes, remove Sha Qi, and repair the Spirit Root."

Tie Dan couldn’t help but sigh,

"I didn’t expect you’d plan this far ahead, you’re really meticulous..."

Hei Zi was silent for a while,

"Moreover, choosing cultivation talents in the Taiji Realm repeatedly only yields those Gate Valve Officials and noble family offspring.

Because their natural talents are the best, groomed by several generations of aristocratic family elites.

Those roadside strays who can’t afford a full meal, how can they compare?

Hence, inevitably over generations, the sect ends up filled with noble families.

Indeed, I have biases, as the character developed by these aristocratic descendants over generations is hard to change in one.

Eventually, they’ll monopolize resources through marriages, ultimately betraying the original intent for family interests.

I’ve sacrificed many strings to make these arrangements, how can I let these Gate Valve individuals ruin my plans?

If ultimately we’re making efforts for them to reap the benefits, that’s not what I wish to see.

That’s why I procured this stone, so the accumulated generations of Gate Valve shall be meaningless, entry relies on the Seeking Dao Heart.

I can choose those stranded, thus with firm Daoist Heart among the myriad masses, even if their natural talent is lacking somewhat.

As long as they have strong wishes to change their adverse situation, increase their power, I’ll fulfill their wishes and give them a chance.

I have the means to enhance them, the Divine Skills to empower them, the Daoist Skill to teach them, and trials to sift through them.

Only those with a heart as steadfast as stone can succeed until Doomsday and help me achieve the great task."

Bai Zi tutted,

"Tsk, tsk, you Demon Head, so unreasonable. Born into a wealthy family is not their choice, that’s their luck.

Who can stay detached nowadays? Just for their lineage, you refuse to admit them to the Dao? Isn’t that all family turned into disaster materials?

Could it be some Gate Valve child offended you before? Such a petty mind?"

Hei Zi calmly said,

"The one who accomplishes great things ignores trivialities, besides I couldn’t save everyone. Why shouldn’t the price previously paid by poor civilians now fall on them?"

Tie Dan had no objection, as who he brought in were roadside strays anyway. Bai Zi really had no objection either, he just enjoyed debating. Zhu Yuer had no problem; he had just passed the test, after all.

Thus, the enrollment matter was settled, and then Hei Zi led the way to continue checking the preparations afterwards.
