My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 791 - 754: There are Cultivators with Demonic Disorders in the World

Chapter 791: Chapter 754: There are Cultivators with Demonic Disorders in the World

“Overturning Heaven Society…”

Liu Wenyu was filled with shock, muttering under his breath.

His eyes were firmly fixed on the Sky-covering Disc overhead, and he even involuntarily reached out his hands, trying to touch it.

As a spy embedded in the Five Elders Organization, who was almost forced into a dead end by the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror, he knew very well the value of this thing.

“What is this?” Liu Wenyu couldn’t help asking.

“[Sky-Covering Disc].” Xu Bai said indifferently, his mind moved and the Sky-covering Disc instantly became illusory, allowing Liu Wenyu’s touch to fell into emptiness.

...

Liu Wenyu only then abruptly came back to his senses.

Reluctantly taking his eyes off the Sky-covering Disc, he gave a solemn bow and said, “I suppose you have important matters in visiting this time, don’t you?”

Xu Bai snorted, “That’s right. I came to complain!”

“Huh?” Liu Wenyu was suddenly taken aback.

“Not long ago, an Integration Cultivator controlled by our organization through the [Fruit of Truth] showed signs of resisting control. Fortunately, we discovered it in time and took measures before he successfully rebelled. Otherwise, our [Overturning Heaven Society] would have suffered a major loss.” Xu Bai’s tone was unpleasant.

“Didn’t you say that the [Fruit of Truth] is a Heavenly Sovereign Creation, and that there won’t be any flaws? How could there be such a mistake?”

“All talk! No wonder the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has been able to suppress you to this point.” Xu Bai glanced at Liu Wenyu and spoke slowly.

“The Fruit of Truth has failed?” Liu Wenyu’s face was filled with horror, but very soon, he shook his head again and again.

“That’s absolutely impossible. As long as the Heavenly Sovereign exists in the world, no Integration Cultivator could possibly resist His power.” Liu Wenyu was very sure.

Xu Bai said in a deep voice, “But the Integration Cultivator’s resistance did indeed happen. What do you make of this?”

“Don’t be impatient, let’s get into the details of the event.”

So, Xu Bai omitted actual names and details, and made up a story of an Integration Cultivator who had realized that he was being controlled and wanted to rebel.

Liu Wenyu pondered for a while before replying, “Perhaps, you did not use the [Fruit of Truth] correctly.”

Xu Bai was furious, “So, it’s our fault now? We have followed the instructions you gave us to the letter.”

Liu Wenyu hurriedly explained, “The Fruit of Truth can distort a Cultivator’s thinking, making them believe even the most absurd things without a doubt. But Cultivators are not Puppets. They have their own thoughts. If the lies you make up are too crude, they might reexamine it when they realize that it conflicts with their own understanding. Although they won’t have doubts, they might find various ways to verify it.”

“For example, if you instill the concept of ‘he is actually a powerless Mortal’ in an Integration Cultivator, he will certainly live his life as a Mortal would. But what if, one day, he unintentionally kills another Nascent Soul Cultivator? The conflict between reality and understanding will force him to find the cause of the contradiction and come up with a reason that can convince himself.”

“Otherwise, the disparity between cognition and reality may drive the Cultivator into madness.”

“Or, if you’ve instilled the concept of loyalty in an Integration Cultivator through the [Fruit of Truth]. But if he notices that he may have come to this conclusion under some sort of influence, he will remain loyal to you but the way he displays this loyalty might be…”

“A bit extreme.”

Liu Wenyu paused for a moment, looked at Xu Bai, and then continued, “He might think that the Xuanhuang World is full of dangers waiting around every corner. If his power isn’t strong enough yet and he openly provokes these dangers, it could very well cost him his life. So, he believes it’s best to imprison you in a dungeon somewhere, to allow you to cultivate until you have reached the Unity Realm, possessing enough resources to travel across Xuanhuang. Only then should he let you go.”

“Although it might seem twisted and unreasonable to others, in their understanding, this is the most normal and logical thing.”

“In our Five Elders Organization, there was a case of a very loyal Cultivator defecting to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. He remained loyal to the Five Elders Organization, but he believed that the Celestial Dharma Bearer was too powerful to oppose. If this continues, there is only defeat and death waiting for us. Only by surrendering and promoting a merger with the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals can we keep a line vitality.”

Liu Wenyu said a bit helplessly, “His arguments were persuasive, and he even continuously propagandized our members of the Five Elders Organization.”

“There are quite a few people like this. We call them [Cultivators of Demonic Obsession]. They exist because the Heavenly Sovereign’s law is not fully against nature, and clashes with the overall Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang World.”

“Of course, if all could be as omnipotent as the [Sovereign of Serene Heavens], this wouldn’t have happened.”

As Liu Wenyu explained, Xu Bai’s face gradually relaxed.

“When we fabricated the lie, we made it as foolproof as possible. Who would have thought that something like this would still happen…” Xu Bai snorted.

Liu Wenyu was also somewhat helpless: “After all, Integration Cultivators are hard to control. If it was that easy to control them, wouldn’t our Five Elders Organization have already unified the Xuanhuang World? We wouldn’t be in as dire a situation as we are now.”

“So what do we do now? This matter is so important, you didn’t mention it at the time of the deal. Letting him go is not an option, long-term house arrest will arouse suspicion. Do we have to kill him and blame it on you?” Xu Bai asked.

Liu Wenyu jumped in fright, pleading, “Don’t be rash. In my opinion, there are still ways to fix this.”

“Firstly, we can use the [Fruit of Truth] again to mend the rupture.”

“Secondly…”

Liu Wenyu’s expression turned a bit strange: “We can actively reveal the truth to him. Then persuade him to turn his [Demonic Obsession] around.”

“You might as well make it clearer.” Xu Bai’s face was somewhat gloomy.

Liu Wenyu lowered his voice, “Taking the example of the Cultivator who defected to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, the reason he left us for them was simply that he thought we weren’t a match for them. If we can convincingly show him that our Five Elders Organization is actually stronger than the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals or at least on par with them, he will return to our side.”

“After all, his loyalty to the Five Elders Organization, which was instilled into him, has never changed.”

The meaning of Liu Wenyu’s words immediately dawned on Xu Bai.

“Of course, if the process of this ‘persuasion’ is combined with the [Fruit of Truth], the effect will be even better,” Liu Wenyu added.

“Friend Xu, I wonder if your Overturning Heaven Society still needs the [Fruit of Truth]?” he asked.
