Hidden Moth-Chapter 554 - 315: Heaven and Earth Share the Cosmic Union (Part 2)
The Magic Sect has no intention of bribing anyone; successful cultivation is the sorcerer’s karma.
Sorcerers have desires too; successful cultivation is the greatest temptation. If that’s the case, isn’t the transmission of techniques itself also a lure? As long as the disciples of the Xiao Alliance don’t commit any forbidden acts, and return due to this attraction, they just need to strictly adhere to the sect rules. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
To put it bluntly, if all the employees of a company want to jump ship to another company, and the original company doesn’t reflect on its development prospects, welfare benefits, or corporate culture, is it all the employees’ fault instead?"
Jiang Daozhen glared at him: "Your analogy is mismatched! But the preceding words do have some merit. So, what do you suggest should be done?"
He Kao: "No need to issue announcements to promote, but let people be able to privately investigate, and have specific witnesses to prove it, such messages will be more credible.
As for the content of the message, it could be that the Ancestral Hall despises such deceitful freeloading behavior, is conducting strict investigations, and has already implemented stricter management regulations!
The core message conveyed is that Magic Sect disciples can have the opportunity to participate alongside Grotto Heaven."
Jiang Daozhen stopped his steps, turned to look at He Kao: "You learn pretty fast, huh! In the Jianghu, this move is also called playing marbles on a tray. Honestly, I wasn’t planning to do this originally.
But since the Xiao Alliance acted unreasonably, we have no reason not to respond, even if I can’t withstand the Bone Transformation Tribulation, I must strive to resolve this issue, and try not to leave the calamity for future generations."
Why does this talk give a foreboding sense, could it be that the old man isn’t confident about overcoming the Bone Transformation Tribulation, and has already started arranging his affairs?
Reflecting on that series of dialogues, He Kao became more worried, pondering the wording: "With your cultivation level, you still have a long time ahead, there’s no need to rush many things.
Nowadays as you’re undergoing tribulation, you should try to ease your mind whenever possible; let the younger disciples serve you as need be."
Jiang Daozhen nodded: "Yes, that’s what I mean, otherwise why would I talk so much to you?" Then he found a rock by the roadside to sit and said, "Since you asked me to rest, let’s take a break."
He Kao looked at the elderly man, hesitating several times to speak.
Jiang Daozhen gestured: "Just speak whatever you want, after all, Wei Luo can’t hear us, including what we just talked about, she doesn’t know your Hidden Moth identity."
Wei Luo governs the Grotto Heaven Array Core, essentially in a state of participating alongside Grotto Heaven, theoretically able to detect all movements in this realm. But Jiang Daozhen, while walking, cast spells to block information between him and He Kao, including their actions and voices.
What Wei Luo can perceive is only this moving space that has been shielded, and if she wants to know what the elder and the young are discussing, she would need to break through the shield using the power of Grotto Heaven.
But since Jiang Daozhen is her mentor and not an enemy, Wei Luo certainly won’t do that.
He Kao: "I’m not worried about the junior sister hearing, but in our countryside, people speak with a focus on auspiciousness.
You’re alright, aren’t you? Regarding this Bone Transformation, is there anything that can be helped with, like finding some rare Spirit Medicine, which is my specialty."
Jiang Daozhen: "You’ve already helped a lot with the refinement of the Pure Yang Pill. I have some good news, would you like to hear it?"
He Kao: "Please tell me in detail."
Jiang Daozhen looked up at the sky as if reminiscing: "I was injured in my youth, sent to the hospital for abdominal debridement surgery. The doctor was my acquaintance, quite friendly, and casually removed my appendix, without extra charge."
He Kao held back for a while before speaking: "Is this the good news?"
Jiang Daozhen: "I haven’t finished speaking yet. The good news is, the appendix that was removed back then might be growing back now... Want to know what Bone Transformation feels like? Use your Communication Skill to try."
He Kao’s Communication Skill has been cultivated to perfection, but doesn’t work on a master such as Jiang Daozhen, who now voluntarily opened up his form and spirit, allowing him to use the skill, then He Kao felt weak and sat on the tree root nearby.
Jiang Daozhen laughed like a prankster who succeeded and gave He Kao a Divine Thought.
The mystery of Bone Transformation, aside from telling a humorous "good news," he didn’t explain much, but what he felt, He Kao was able to personally experience.
A question arises, do ordinary methods of severe torture affect high-tier sorcerers? There’s certainly a deterrent effect, but they’re not really afraid of pain, because high-tier cultivators can shield their senses.
The feeling of Bone Transformation Tribulation is mainly discomfort, indescribable discomfort all over the body. This discomfort cannot be shielded because there’s nothing abnormal on the surface; it directly impacts the Primordial Spirit.
The Tribulation Taker must constantly circulate mana, smoothing the flow of blood, meridians, vitality operations; otherwise, the Furnace might collapse... If the cultivation isn’t deep enough, one won’t be able to persist, resulting in the failure to complete the transformation process.
He Kao had already stood up holding the tree trunk, stunned not knowing what to say.
Jiang Daozhen, seemingly self-mocking, asked: "Have you heard people mutter? Saying I scheme too much, too ruthless, and speak too readily about fate, harming relationships, therefore my life is destined for many misfortunes and disasters.
I was trapped in Vacuum for twenty-three years to break Tier Seven, losing all Divine Techniques and mana, surviving by setting up a stall in the countryside. After breaking Tier Seven not long ago, haven’t had a few good days, now suffering the hardship of Bone Transformation, enduring this torment every day..."
He Kao quickly interrupted: "Who mumbles such nonsense, isn’t this utter nonsense!"
Jiang Daozhen: "You haven’t heard?"
He Kao: "I certainly haven’t heard, who dares speak these words in front of me?"
Jiang Daozhen nodded: "Indeed, this is mad talk and nonsense, the wonder of promotion, the freedom of cultivation, isn’t something those kinds can comprehend, leisurely under the Jade Phoenix Tree, isn’t that also free and easy?
Remember, many experiences belong only to you, and no one else in the world can match. I call you here today to arrange everything that needs to be accounted for, and then I can go into seclusion and rest well."
Bone Transformation Tribulation’s discomfort, it’s torture every moment, but there’s a way to relieve it—give up. However, once you give up, even if just the mind wavers with the thought, it means failing Bone Transformation, never advancing in cultivation again.
If you don’t give up, then certainly it’s not suitable to show yourself, worry, or labor, and the best choice is actually to do nothing, stabilize mind, go into seclusion to adjust the Furnace, when the accumulation of cultivation is sufficient, until reaching perfection of merit and conduct.
This is usually the case; the various techniques like Lingxi Skill might have their unique considerations.
Of course, Jiang Daozhen wants to rest, but since the Magic Sect encounters so many things, and much of it includes his plotting, he can’t simply ignore them; he must arrange everything that can be arranged to rest assured in seclusion.
He Kao hurriedly said: "It’s all because the younger disciples aren’t capable enough, making the elder worry and exert himself; may you break through Tier Eight Cultivation soon!"
Jiang Daozhen stood up with a smile: "Thank you for your auspicious words, actually, what you’re doing helps me... Rest well enough, let’s continue on."
He Kao: "If you feel uncomfortable, let me carry you. Otherwise, at this pace, we might only get out by daybreak."
Jiang Daozhen: "You just advised me not to rush, how come you’re impatient now? Why go out in the middle of the night? Disturb others? Daybreak is just right, on the road, you can keep me company for a chat..."
