Qiandao Realm, Outer Disciple Xu Ling of the Huangquan Sect... I didn't expect him to be this type of protagonist.
As soon as Xu Ling transmigrated to this world, Wang Linchi perceived and located him. However, Wang Linchi didn't make a move imdiately. Instead, he let Xu Ling leave to observe the complete teleportation process and collect data.
I've been waiting for three years; he's finally here. If he hadn't shown up soon, I was preparing to leave.
Xu Ling didn't arrive imdiately after ng Wuji lost control but three years later. Had he not arrived within another two years, Wang Linchi had planned to make a final harvest and then depart.
In these three years, humanity had been annihilated. ng Wuji had turned into a zombie, and the most powerful one at that. Currently, things had quieted down. Without humans to prey on, all zombies had entered a low-energy consumption mode.
A special individual carrying a Purifier and also possessing a rit System.
He's likely from the Cultivation World that traded with this world, but sothing seems off.
Wang Linchi reviewed Xu Ling's mories. He found that the so-called Qiandao Realm also had an upper realm, giving him the feeling of nested worlds.
After careful comparison, this world's Cultivators and Qiandao Realm's Cultivators shared so similarities. However, compared to the Cultivators from the Qiandao Realm, this world's original Cultivators were indeed a lower-tier version.
Take the Mahayana Realm, for instance: those from the Qiandao Realm were capable of moving mountains and filling seas, unlike this world's Mahayana Realm Cultivators, who couldn't even evade missiles.
As for the Purifier, it was naturally the bronze door in Xu Ling's sea of consciousness. Transporting him to this world was only one of its functions. Its true ability was to absorb the mutated Sin-force and convert it into Qiandao Realm rit.
Xu Ling's rit and Wang Linchi's rit were not the sa. Theoretically, the rit of the Qiandao Realm was more like the kind found in Xianxia novels. Wang Linchi's rit, on the other hand, was different; if used by others, it could instantly distort them into so horrifying creature. His rit could only be used by him, his Family, and the civilizations and derivations under his command; its compatibility was extrely low. This was due to his own inscrutable nature.
The Sin-force he wielded was a similar case. The Sin-force virus on the Karma Zombies was a variant of common Sin-force and differed greatly from his own. The difference was akin to that between a baboon and a horse—both were mammals, but vastly different.
It truly is a case of making the best use of everything: killing zombies and purifying them. But I have a question: why choose a transmigrator instead of a native of this world? This question suddenly occurred to Wang Linchi.
Logically, Xu Ling's personality isn't suited for this kind of task. Judging by his current mindset, he is indeed a kind person. What would happen if you threw a good person into a Demon Path Sect? There are basically two possibilities: either they fail to survive and die, or they are assimilated and transford into a mber of the Demon Path. And this assimilation might be imperceptible, to the point where even Xu Ling himself wouldn't be aware of it.
A Demon Path Sect where mbers love and care for each other? How could such a thing happen? Wang Linchi had seen Xu Ling's mories; the Demon Path Cultivation Techniques alone were exploitative. A single misstep or insufficient strength, and a disciple would beco raw material for another's cultivation or artifact refinent. To claim such a sect is full of camaraderie and mutual care—wouldn't that imply the Righteous Path is hypocritical?
A Righteous Sect might not be as benevolent as proclaid, but at least the Mortals under their purview could survive without fearing they'd be snatched away as 'at pigs' or sacrificed in their sleep.
The rules of the two realms are similar; there's no difference. What is the reason for this?
Wang Linchi made a slight gesture with his hand, and a grinning, blood-red face materialized from it. Compared to Xu Ling's Blood Soul Technique, this Demon Path Spell in Wang Linchi's hand beca lifelike, even emitting strange, cackling sounds—HEH-HEH-HEH. At first glance, it resembled a skull more than a re face.
Xu Ling's Blood Soul Technique had barely scratched the surface, but in Wang Linchi's hands, it not only reached instant Fulfillnt, but he could also innovate upon it.
This Human Soul Refinent Scripture isn't bad. Apart from the difficulty of finding the required raw materials for cultivation, its effects are indeed impressive, Wang Linchi mused, appreciating this Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivation Technique from the Huangquan Sect. He found it quite effective at maximally transforming and optimizing Mana.
However, it wasn't without flaws. The process of transformation and optimization was excessively crude, often causing injury or death. Thus, the Huangquan Sect had incorporated a 'waste-not' principle into the Cultivation Technique: if a disciple died, every part of them could be utilized as materials.
As for other Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivation Techniques, Wang Linchi knew little. The information he possessed ca solely from Xu Ling's mories; he had no other sources for more, unless he ventured into the Qiandao Realm himself.
He did have this idea. However, he didn't plan to enter the Qiandao Realm using his own power. Instead, he intended to seize Xu Ling's identity, beco him, and then swagger back. This way, he could not only seize the opportunity to plunder the Qiandao Realm but also further exploit this current world under the guise of the protagonist, squeezing out its last vestiges of value.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a great waste to just leave?
So, I need a sufficient number of Karma Zombies and an ample supply of Sin-force.
Since he planned to pose as a protagonist who was a Demon Path Cultivator with a rit System, Wang Linchi certainly had to set the stage properly.
Although zombies were plentiful, they would eventually be depleted. Wang Linchi was also thinking of leveraging the Qiandao Realm's Cultivation system to see if he could advance further. The Qiandao Realm's Cultivation system was quite complete and offered clear paths for advancent, ensuring one wouldn't get stuck after reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
In this current world, the apex was the Mahayana Realm, after which one could undergo Tribulation Ascension. However, in the Qiandao Realm, beyond the Mahayana Realm, there was an additional Transcendance Tribulation Stage, which served as a transition for Ascension.
According to Wang Linchi's speculation, if this world's Great Vehicle Period Cultivators were to ascend, they wouldn't ascend to the Qiandao Realm. Instead, they would bypass it and arrive directly in Qiandao Realm's upper realm. He estimated it was a world with an extrely high energy level, so those past Great Vehicle Period Cultivators would likely be worse off than stray dogs on the roadside there.
If this world itself could synthesize the corresponding Karma Zombies and Sin-force, then I could act boldly and without restraint.
Wang Linchi began to plan his next move. As for the cost of synthesizing Karma Zombies and Sin-force, it would undoubtedly be borne by this current world. Anyway, this world was already as depleted as it could be, so Wang Linchi could manipulate it as he pleased. Once its value was nearly exhausted, he could then perform the Devouring.
If Wang Linchi hadn't been thinking of possibly luring a bigger fish, he would have disposed of this world long ago. Fortunately, the wait had yielded results; at least he had indeed received his due reward: the Qiandao Realm, plus its affiliated upper realm.
These similar conditions... could it be that this area is a world cluster?
This thought suddenly occurred to Wang Linchi. Several worlds possessing so identical or similar rules might belong to the sa world cluster, mutually attracting and grouping together for survival. This would lead to convergence, explaining why Cultivators from the Qiandao Realm could cultivate and achieve Growth in this world, and why Cultivators from this world could ascend to the upper realm of the Qiandao Realm.
It's indeed quite possible.
The more Wang Linchi considered it, the more plausible it seed. Furthermore, there should also be similar worlds for tahumans and Martial Artists.
Soon, Wang Linchi envisioned a structure: a triangle with an inscribed circle, where three different system-worlds were attached to this current world as the center. However, this central world later detached due to its own decline, causing the connections between the three attached worlds to sever. Currently, it seed to have only re-established its connection with the Cultivation World. Additionally, each of these three systems likely had its own respective superior world, much like the upper realm of the Qiandao Realm.
What a pity! After connecting with the Qiandao Realm, this world is already too weak to seek aid from the other two. Otherwise, if it pulled one, it might bring others along, and I could have gained a few more worlds.
However, with transmigrators from these various worlds appearing so frequently, perhaps one day I'll encounter one from another of those worlds. Wang Linchi wasn't too concerned about these matters. For him, switching to another world was always an option; it was just that if a transmigrator appeared, it could save him so ti and costs. As long as it wasn't an Apocalypse World, Wang Linchi found it acceptable.
I need to complete my preparations before Xu Ling returns. Wang Linchi quickly reined in his thoughts and set to work. The next ti Xu Ling arrived, Wang Linchi planned to act.
