Chapter 1122: Chapter 1030: Comprehension
Li Zhirui did not rush on his way but instead summoned a white cloud with a wave of his hand and, after determining the direction forward, took out the Methods traded from that king.
It contained a vast amount of content, all revolving around how to establish a Human Dao Dynasty!
According to the classification in the Jade Slip, the dynasty Li Zhirui had experienced was merely at the nascent stage, possessing a vast disparity from a true Human Dao Dynasty!
The Human Dao Dynasty described in the Jade Slip was a tremendously large nation with territories spanning billions of miles and a population surpassing one billion, where even with Li Zhirui’s current Cultivation level, let alone entering the capital, stepping into its territory would subject him to the suppression of the Human Daoist magic network, rendering him unable to exert even half of his strength.
Facing the king of this nation, even an Earth Immortal would have to bow and show respect, perhaps only a Heavenly Immortal with Great Ability could sit on an equal footing with him, immune to many magics and devilish forces, with most attacks proving ineffective against him!
After briefly reading through the enticing introduction, Li Zhirui could not help but become infatuated, imagining scenes of reveling in luxury and waking up to hold supreme power.
Yet, after a few breaths, Li Zhirui sobered up, muttering to himself: "What I pursue is not power, but Longevity and freedom!"
As he spoke these words, his entire demeanor changed, like a mountain forest washed clean by a heavy rain, cool and clear.
At the same time, a hint of vigilance appeared in Li Zhirui’s eyes as he looked at the Jade Slip; he hadn’t expected a common Jade Slip to bewitch him!
Though he was only infatuated for a few breaths, it was enough to greatly surprise Li Zhirui.
Not to boast about himself, but among many Integrating Cultivators he had met, his Dao Heart and Mental State were indeed first-rate!
Yet even he couldn’t help but be tempted; it’s needless to say how crazed the original recipient of the Methods must have been!
Li Zhirui’s ten years at the academy were not only spent teaching students but also secretly collecting vast amounts of information about the dynasty; he knew that this dynasty had only been established for two hundred years and its Founding Ancestor was a Cultivator.
From a hereditary marquis family, he uncovered hidden news that the Founding Ancestor’s Cultivation was at least at the Nascent Soul level and he was incredibly young, described as having a promising future.
Yet after leading dozens of Cultivators and many mortals to drive away Devil Beasts and spending decades establishing the dynasty, the whole person suddenly aged, appearing as though he had not long to live.
The truth was indeed so, as the dynasty was established, the Founding Ancestor passed away within just five years.
And those Cultivators who followed him, upon receiving their noble titles as the dynasty was established, also successively died.
When Li Zhirui first saw this hidden news, he was exceedingly curious, and today he finally obtained the answer from the Jade Slip.
Within the Human Dao Dynasty, the king, various nobles, and high-ranking ministers must all be mortals!
This meant that the group of Cultivators had discarded their own Cultivations and significantly reduced their lifespans a few days before establishing the dynasty, hence their successive deaths.
They willingly paid with their lives and sought their own doom because they saw an easier path to immortality!
That is, after establishing the Human Dao Dynasty, the Nether Court would also be opened, and these monarchs, nobles, and ministers who died along with the country would awaken there,
and could consume the Human Dao luck to be Divinely Enthroned, regaining power.
Li Zhirui found no trace of these Deities because the dynasty was still growing and had not yet used the Human Dao luck for Divine Enthronement, but those people had definitely already awakened.
Regarding the choices of these Cultivators, a look of disdain appeared on Li Zhirui’s face, saying, "Power derived from others, Longevity tied to the dynasty, henceforth subservient to others, can you still live if the dynasty collapses?"
If it had been him facing such temptation, he might have been initially tempted, but definitely would not have so resolutely discarded his own Cultivation!
Moreover, were those Cultivators too confident? Did they truly believe the dynasty they established could continue indefinitely?
Li Zhirui smirked, continuing his research on the Methods in hand, learning from the Jade Slip that those Deified Yin Spirits could continue to enhance their strength through incense and prayer and at a speed far surpassing that of Cultivators. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Most crucially, it was noted that after breaking through to the Immortal Realm and settling all karma, they could sever ties with the dynasty and subsequently be free from constraints and influence.
Upon reading this, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but laugh out loud; not to mention the difficulty of breaking through to the Immortal Realm, whether the dynasty could last long enough to give you ample time.
The mere act of settling karma was without a doubt a massive trap!
Your entire Cultivation relies on the dynasty, what will you use to settle your karma? Or rather, what great sacrifice must you make to achieve it?
"Blinded by the painted beauty."
But Li Zhirui thought again, it seemed normal for them to have fallen into it, considering that back then, the highest Cultivation among them was merely Nascent Soul, unaware of such complexities?
Sitting on the white cloud, Li Zhirui slowly made his way toward Falling Star State, spending most of a month studying the Methods, gaining a deeper understanding of the Human Dao Dynasty and Human Daoist magic network.
In his view, it was like a collector, gathering the luck from a vast populace and extensive lands into one, then through certain means allowing some mortals and Yin Spirits to wield power.
