Chapter 315 Seven Sects
Visualization not only enhances one's own strength, but also strengthens the power of one's inner demons.

The so-called inner demon cannot be accurately sensed during practice, but it affects the host all the time.

In Wei Miao's view, it is more like his own corrupted personality: violent, bloodthirsty, arrogant, greedy... It has all kinds of negative traits, and it is said that it is a projection of the essence of the statue.

It stays dormant in the body for a long time and can subtly distort the owner's personality and temperament.

This is called "assimilation" or "erosion."

Therefore, in order to counterbalance the inner demons, warriors usually visualize a special deity known as the "God of Freedom".

His characteristic is that he is "faceless". As the name suggests, this kind of deity has no facial features and no name.

Generally speaking, no one would visualize two normal statues of gods at the same time. The inner demons would repel and conflict with each other, and the consequence would often be that the warrior would go astray.

But the Lord of Freedom is an exception. The inner demons induced by Him are blind and foolish, and are not threatening. Instead, they can stand between the subject and the inner demons, acting as a barrier to be eroded by the inner demons.

As long as the self-existent god has not been completely eroded, the inner demon cannot threaten the subject. This requires a balance between the two forces, that is, the visualization progress is relatively synchronized.

When visualizing the Free God, due to the lack of the guidance of the Honored Name, the efficiency is far less than visualizing a normal statue. It can be said that most of the time of visualization of the warrior is dedicated to the Free God.

However, the God of Freedom has no face. According to the realm classification, after reaching the first-class level, the inner demon of the God of Freedom can no longer grow through visualization, but warriors can continue to visualize the normal statue of the god to improve their realm.

The power of the two gradually became unbalanced, and the warrior had to spend more time visualizing the God of Freedom to help it resist erosion from a weak position. If the warrior was a little careless, the God of Freedom would be completely eroded invisibly, and what awaited him was to face the inner demon.

The end result is often that one's will is wiped out, and the person becomes an empty shell dominated by inner demons, doing things that go against morality.

This state is called "loss of control" or "possession".

Throughout history, there have been many first-rate warriors who have become mentally ill.

Top-notch warriors have powerful inner demons and are always on the verge of losing control.

After the "eye-opening", the visualization method is fully realized, and the strength of the inner demon reaches its peak. The corrosive power that erupts at that time is unpredictable.

Therefore, only top-notch warriors who think they are fully prepared dare to start breaking through.

Even so, in an era, there are still few people who can safely survive the outbreak of inner demons. These people enter the last realm of cultivation: the Seven Sects.

There is no way out after the Seven Sects, and one has to spend a lot of energy to stabilize the burning inner demon.

Wei Miao sorted out all the information about this world in his mind and turned his attention to the object of his current disguise.

This body only has memories but has not inherited the power of the original body. It is completely unable to perceive inner demons, mental strength and other things that belong to the cultivation system of this world. It only has vague memories of martial arts but no definite knowledge.

In other words, Wei Miao can only use his own abilities.

Whether the disguise mission can obtain the power and memory of the object depends entirely on the system's intention. Generally speaking, when the player's own strength is restricted by the rules, it is possible to give the disguised object a temporary experience card.

Pei Wenwei was originally a top-notch warrior, and he was just one step away from becoming one of the Seven Sects.

He was practicing in the quiet room this time because he was determined to take the last step.

Based on what he saw in the mirror, Wei Miao thought he should have succeeded.

The reason lies in the weird charm he exudes.

It is a sense of "perfect" disharmony. The warriors in this world call this charm "divinity."

The higher the realm, the more the warrior's spirit changes. It is the temperament that radiates from the inside out, which is instinctively sensed by life, forming an impression of "extraordinary charm", and even the warrior's appearance will be superimposed with layers of beauty.

Some people believe that the origin of this charm is that in the process of visualizing the statue, one constantly moves towards God and towards the perfection of life. Wei Miao's understanding of this comes entirely from Pei Wenwei's memory. He has not experienced it personally, so he cannot judge how correct it is.

This time, he not only had to disguise Pei Wenwei's personality, but also his strength.

After many rounds of ranking, players have already figured out the rules of disguise missions. Missions are generally compatible with players to a certain extent and are assigned according to their strength and personality.

In terms of strength, the disguise coefficient cannot fully correspond to the realm strength of this world. However, according to Pei Wenwei's impression of the Seven Sects, Wei Miao is more than capable of disguising himself as one of the Seven Sects.

Pei Wenwei was also good at swordsmanship. Although he did not use his skills often, there were legends about him in the martial arts world. His famous martial arts was called "Thirteen Wind-Colored Swords". Each move had its own significance and was known for its elegance and ruthlessness.

Wei Miao was unable to master his martial arts because there was no relevant knowledge of the techniques left in his mind. The system sealed his strength quite cleanly.

Fortunately, his mental power is of negative nature, similar to the nature of the power of eternal night used by Wei Miao.

After achieving the Seven Sects, the warrior's power may undergo some changes, so there is no need to worry about the rhetoric in this regard.

Wei Miao got up from the cold ground, grabbed the dark blue python robe from the hanger next to him, and put it on one by one according to the steps he remembered.

This is the exclusive uniform of the Lord of the Mysteries, symbolizing the majestic power granted by the imperial authority.

After getting dressed, she looked at the long sword placed horizontally on the jade table's stand.

The scabbard is made of black leather, with brass on the top and the mouth of the scabbard, finely carved and elegant. The handle is also made of metal, gold-plated, and engraved with anti-slip patterns. The round blade guard is like two swimming dragons connected head to tail.

This is Pei Wenwei's sword "Wanfeng", which was given to him for his meritorious service when he was the commander of the guards. Since then, he has been using it to kill enemies and drink blood until today.

Wei Miao held the sheath with his left hand and the handle with his right hand, and easily drew out the Wanfeng Knife. The black and white feather pattern on the blade was extremely exquisite, and the edge of the blade was as sharp as ever because of the owner's careful maintenance.

The forging level in this world is quite good, and the Wanfeng Sword is of excellent quality among all the weapons.

But it is still not as good as the night cut forged with special materials and techniques.

Wei Miao put the knife back into the sheath and hung it around his waist.

Pei Wenwei brought the Wanfeng Knife into the quiet room, so she naturally had to take it out with her. She needed to find another opportunity to let Ye Cai show up so that he could replace the Wanfeng Knife as her "new weapon".

The statue of Chi Mei lay quietly on the ground, gradually fading away and disappearing before her eyes.

This is not a real statue, but a projection of the deity. After the statue establishes a connection with the warrior, it usually hides in an untouchable place. When the warrior seeks a breakthrough, it will respond to the warrior's wishes and appear in the form of a projection to help him visualize.

Pei Wenwei was a child in the late Xuan Dynasty, when wars were raging everywhere, and it was common for families to be broken up and displaced. In this dangerous world, his parents died, but he survived by chance and accidentally got the statue of Chimei.

Before visualization, a worship ceremony must be held to establish a connection with the deity. The requirements of the worship ceremony vary and are related to the characteristics of the deity.

The rituals of Chimei require the worshipper to castrate himself.

Pei Wenwei was in urgent need of strength. Between death and castration, he chose the latter after a brief hesitation.

But without the Free God, forcibly visualizing the God’s image is seeking death.

There are not many free gods left in the world. They are either in the hands of sects, the imperial court, or local tyrants.

Opportunities and risks coexist in troubled times. Pei Wenwei took advantage of the chaos to visualize the free god of a certain ruined family and was able to enter the sect.

He was extremely talented, and later with the protection of Lu Shaoqing, he rose rapidly and eventually became the supervisor of the secret ceremonies.

Happy holiday.
