Chapter 232 - - 230 Chaos Era Person_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Other Alien Warriors might wait, but Duge would not.

What was his desperate development for, if not to stop others from advancing?

On the Alien Battlefield, it’s a matter of life and death; whoever is softhearted dies.

This was the conclusion Duge drew after watching many replay videos.

After attaining the cultivation level of Divinity Transformation Realm, everything became much more convenient. He could travel high and low, take aerial routes, and effortlessly move between the Medical Immortal Sect and Danyang City, arriving on the same day.

Under the guise of testing medical skills, he examined all disciples of the Medical Immortal Sect. Finding no hidden Alien Warriors, Duge then turned his attention to the other nine exposed warriors.

There were still over a thousand two hundred people in the simulation field.

Every time he knocked off one of the top ten, the people behind would move up one place. If he kept up the pace of eliminating one each day, then at most, it would take four years to end this simulation field.

In the future, as his cultivation level increased, he could eliminate two a day, and at most, it would take two years to conclude the simulation field.

Everyone was holding back, the sooner he got rid of them, the safer it would be.

Moreover, this approach had another benefit; it would shift all candidates’ focus onto the constantly updated rankings. Those who intended to sabotage his two major endeavors—the Seven Star Gate and the Medical Immortal Sect—would be accordingly reduced.

Of course.

There was also a possibility that as he killed more, more people would set their sights on him, attacking him en masse.

But that day would come sooner or later.

It was much better to have them join forces when they were weak than to deal with hundreds of Mahayana phase experts with various skills besieging him decades later. Duge had already experienced how terrifying attributes could be. Once attributes increased, they brought talent improvements, and cultivation progressed very quickly.

Alien Warriors are the biggest threat to the world’s stability. To kill them is to save the world; there can be no nobler act.

…

“Heaven’s Path Institute Inner Sect Disciple Luo Cang; Lanning Temple core disciple Zuo Zhonghou; Under Mountain Academy student Shi Chunqi; Daqing Country princess Mo Yingjun…”

On this day.

Duge handed Li Anjiang a piece of white paper that listed nine names and their identities.

“Junior brother, who are these people?” Li Anjiang asked, puzzled.

“People of a chaotic world,” Duge said.

“People of a chaotic world?” Li Anjiang looked at the white paper in his hands again.

“Sect Head Senior Brother, you know, the Cultivation Technique I practice is almost akin to the Dao,” Duge said, “The so-called Heavenly Dao represents the rules of all things, the principle of their operation. Fate is like a long river, constantly rushing forward. You and I are like water in the river, or fish in the water, swept along by the current, helpless to resist.

“After grasping the essence of Dao, one can obtain a perspective that transcends the river. One can view the entire river from above, foreseeing where it will bend, where it will meet rocks, thus avoiding them in advance…”

Swallowing hard and with a hint of excitement in his voice, Li Anjiang asked, “Junior brother, when you talk about transcending the river of fate, do you mean ascending to immortality?”

In a single day, Duge had risen to the Divinity Transformation Realm, overturning all of Li Anjiang’s previous beliefs about the Cultivation World.

Now.

He had practically become an ardent fan of Duge, utterly convinced by his words.

“Perhaps even higher, or possibly becoming Heavenly Dao itself, mastering the fate of all,” Duge said, “Sect Head Senior Brother, as you also know, our master destroyed the main text, and I am now practicing only an incomplete fragment. When draining someone’s cultivation, I must take an object from their body. The so-called removal of limbs is but a flaw in the Cultivation Technique.”

If that’s a flaw, I want one too!

Li Anjiang inwardly complained; he had already looked at the Big Dipper Seven Star Skill Duge gave him. It was basically a worthless technique. With the main text, maybe practicing it to a higher level could harness starlight for one’s use.

But that lousy technique wouldn’t even get one to the Foundation Establishment Stage!

He could not imagine how Wang Chong’s master managed to comprehend a cultivation technique that was nearly Daoist from such an incomplete scripture. He must have been extraordinarily brilliant!

What a pity.

He died too early. If he were still alive, the Medical Immortal Sect would have been thriving!

“Sect Head Senior Brother, because the cultivation technique is incomplete, my understanding of the Dao is vague,” Duge said with a smile, continuing, “But in the obscurity, I always hear some guidance, such as leading Seven Star Gate into prominence, as well as the rise of medical practices…”

“…” Li Anjiang was stunned for a moment. “Junior Brother, is the rise of medical practices a guidance from the Heavenly Dao?”

Duge nodded. “Sect Head Senior Brother, I thought joining the Medical Immortal Sect was my own decision. But after my cultivation level advanced to the Divinity Transformation Realm, my understanding of the Heavenly Dao grew deeper. I realized that the rise of medical practices is the future, and I was merely heeding the subtle indications of fortune and avoiding calamity, making decisions that conformed to the future.”

Gulp!

Li Anjiang’s heartbeat quickened, and he couldn’t help swallowing his saliva to moisten his dry throat. He looked again at the paper in his hand, “What about these people of the chaotic world?”

Last night, when I was meditating and practicing, I once again sensed the Heavenly Dao. I wrote down these names on the ground before me,” Duge said. “I do not understand the significance of these names, but when I saw them, an innate revulsion and alarm surged from the depths of my heart.

I feel that these people will cause us great destruction in the future, impeding the prosperity of the medical practices. In a moment of impulse, I designated them as the people of the chaotic world.”

He paused for a moment, “Sect Head Senior Brother, you are older and must have experienced the rise and fall of dynasties. With the rise and fall of regimes and the struggles of warlords, there can only be one ultimate victor in the end. I think these individuals must be the ambitious contenders we will face in the future.”

“But these people are unrelated…” Li Anjiang frowned.

Duge smiled and interrupted him, “Sect Head Senior Brother, just days ago, my connection with the Medical Immortal Sect was inexistent. But now, here I am, discussing the Dao with you. Senior Brother, could those who attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao be ordinary people?”

Looking at the names on the paper, Li Anjiang’s eyebrows knitted slightly, “Junior Brother, what do you plan to do?”

“To see them, to see if they really possess the potential to influence the world as indicated by the Heavenly Dao,” Duge said. “If they are just ordinary people, I will let them be. But if they truly demonstrate talents far beyond ordinary people, then it is best to nip the danger in the bud.”

Li Anjiang did not doubt Duge’s words, because these individuals were scattered far and wide, unlikely to have any grievances with Duge. The junior brother had a kind heart; how could he, without any reason, write down a few names and decide to kill them?

Li Anjiang hesitated for a moment before saying, “Junior Brother, among these people, there are inner sect disciples from Heaven’s Path Institute, Lanning Temple, Longevity Residence, and Heavenly Demon Palace. To enter these major sects and kill people might not be so easy.”

Duge had only spoken of going to see them, but Li Anjiang was already considering murder, aligning with the head of the institute’s thoughts. Li Anjiang felt it necessary to act as Duge’s blade, compensating for his junior brother’s temperamental shortcomings.

“Then let’s start with the easy ones first.”

Duge smiled and pointed to the Second Rank Scholar from Yan Country, Dan Cong, and the princess of Daqing Country, Mo Yingjun.

Aside from these two whose statuses had not changed, the other seven had all joined major sects.

It has to be said.

The top ten candidates would all know how to protect themselves.

Once their rankings were revealed, they could freely develop and utilize the associated keywords.

With the improved attributes and talents after advancement, they could easily be selected by major sects to become inner sect disciples.

The status of an inner sect disciple within a major sect is, in the early stages, quite a valuable amulet.

As long as they do not leave their sects, ordinary people cannot touch them.

Just like Duge, who went from an unknown Sect Leader of Seven Star Gate to a famous disciple of Medical Immortal Sect; to other candidates, this must seem like a move to protect oneself, and perhaps, they even think Duge made a wrong decision.

After all.

The Medical Immortal Sect is not considered a major sect and is not good at fighting, truly not a good place for refuge.

The princess of Daqing Country has the status of royalty, and not joining a sect is somewhat justifiable - after all, with the protection of the royal family, she would not lack cultivation techniques or resources.

But that the status of the Second Rank Scholar, Dan Cong, has not changed is certainly odd; thus, he must also have his own backing…
