Chapter 378 Qualifications
The situation in the capital was not stable, and the situation outside the capital was also chaotic and complex.

The rebellion foretold in the prophetic poem was quelled overnight.

There was no opportunity for the border kings who were observing to take action, nor was there any opportunity for neighboring countries to test the waters.

The next day, the prince sent an envoy to the capital to present a large amount of wealth as a sign of his loyalty.

Neighboring countries like Dazi and Sal were not so quick to react, but I heard they were all preparing to send envoys.

In fact, all countries have spies planted among themselves, but these are not enough to shake the overall situation, and the transmission of intelligence is not fast.

In the martial arts world, the Qi Temple lost the presence of seven sects, and its sect leader was placed under a death warrant from the imperial court, forcing it to close its gates.

The Righteous Alliance was leaderless. After learning of the leader's whereabouts, they were caught in a fierce internal struggle over whether to rescue the leader or elect a new one. Sometimes, loyalty can be a shackle.

Each of the other factions had its own countermeasures.

However, what people talk about most are undoubtedly the earth-shattering secrets of the Grand Master of the Secret Ritual, the Evil Dragon, and the Divine Thunder.

"...It is said that when the Nine Dragons were in the sky, strange phenomena appeared in the heavens. In the night, tribulation clouds pressed down on the city, purple lightning was like a net, and the booming sound resounded throughout the surrounding area of ​​ten thousand miles. The majestic power of the heavens was awe-inspiring."

"In the blink of an eye, a figure soared up from the eaves. A cold light flashed, a blade gleamed, and he drew his sword, which suddenly transformed into a forty-foot-long giant blade. With a single, sweeping stroke, as free and unrestrained as splashing ink on a brush, he cleaved the four dragons in two..."

In the teahouse, the storyteller's voice was passionate and stirring. He swayed his head and was completely absorbed in the story, as if he were there in person.

Wei Miao and the Five Lucky Rats listened from the side and found it quite amusing.

She left the little black dragon with the Mystic Artifact to guard the house, as it was too conspicuous to accompany her outside. At the same time, because of the eye-type connection's property of ignoring distance, even though the true form of the cross-shaped double pupils was on Wei Miao, it could still control entities thousands of meters away.

After chatting about their recent situations, Five Lucky Rats said, "The Supervisor must have something to say to me, so please speak frankly."

Wei Miao didn't beat around the bush: "I want to know, how can a martial artist be turned into one of you?"

Upon hearing this, the Five Lucky Rats narrowed their eyes slightly: "Oh? You want to seek a promotion?"

“It wasn’t me.” Wei Miao shook her head in denial, without elaborating.

The main quests are a piece of cake and can be completed at any time.

What's bothering her now is the side quest she accepted back then.

Side Quest: Breaking Through the Boundary

Mission Description: Seekers of the Dao are unwilling to stop. The warriors of the Seven Sects have never given up their pursuit of higher levels, only lacking certain insights and conditions. You, who, like the divine statue, hail from beyond the realm, can you find a glimmer of hope for their breakthrough?

Mission objective: Help any seven martial artists reach a new realm.

When she received the task, Wei Miao was completely clueless. But now, she has figured out a possible solution.

Back then, Kou Yu forcibly boosted Xie Jingming's strength through the power of faith. Wei Miao cannot use the power of faith and therefore cannot replicate it.

The birth of the little black dragon absorbed a vast amount of faith power. This faith power forcibly combined spirit and life force, extracting the souls of all people, and was consumed in the process. The path of faith power is now blocked.

It would be very difficult to persuade someone from the Seven Sects to abandon their cultivation and switch to another system.

Leaving aside how to overcome inner demons, every world has its own systemic biases. For example, it's impossible for someone to practice the wizarding system using truly effective meditation methods in a world without magic.

Because there is no magic in the world, the conditions for cultivation are not available.

This world is similar; it originally intended to follow a technological path, naturally excluding magic, spiritual power, and other miscellaneous energy particles. The indigenous people actually use renewable spiritual energy to support the idols, which is the only thing they can give.

A pure mental energy cultivation system might be viable in this world, such as telekinesis. Pure mental energy systems are easy to learn but difficult to master, and while they are generally applicable, one might sometimes worry about whether the body can handle the immense mental energy required.

The problem is, Wei Miao doesn't. Her mastery of mental power relies entirely on her disguise coefficient and vocabulary.

Therefore, we can only start with the inner demon system itself, which is acknowledged by the world's will.

Is there anything beyond the Seven Sects in the Inner Demon system?

Of course there are, and those are the idols of the beneficiaries.

After transcending the cycle of rebirth, the Five Lucky Rats sold the outer shell of the statue to another thought, illustrating that the inner essence of the statue can be replaced.

If one could transfer the souls of the Seven Sect Masters into the divine statue, abandoning their identity as martial artists and becoming carnivores, they would naturally transcend the Seven Sect Masters.

However, the process was complicated, so Wei Miao came to consult Wu Fu Shu, one of the founders of the Heart Demon system.

Since the Five Lucky Rats did not deny it immediately, it means there is likely a loophole to exploit.

The Five Lucky Rats pondered and said, "First of all, the Heart Demon system was jointly established by us and the will of the world, which involves the recognition of rules."

"Only individuals recognized by the world's rules can mobilize the rules, create seeds of the heart, and receive feedback."

"We are bound to the world by a covenant. All those who make a covenant will be recognized."

Wei Miao pondered, "So, it's unlikely that the Seven Sects' warriors will be able to establish a pact with the world's will. It would be better to find a way to replace the identity of a certain contractor."

The Five Lucky Rats agreed with her line of thought: "That's right. Back then, we used a bit of true spirit quality as proof of the contract, which was equivalent to 'signing'. If we want to inherit the contract, we must obtain the true spirit that can possess the thoughts of someone else."

“Every existing soul is unique, and a name is merely a symbol of existence, lacking uniqueness. Therefore, contracts are often related to the soul, not the name, unless the signatory possesses a ‘true name’ recognized by the void, because the true name is related to the essence of existence. Of course, certain revered names recognized by the void can also serve as proof of a contract.”

"Logically speaking, it is very difficult to seize the true spirit of a thought. If the difference between the two parties is not large, when one person tries to copy the other's spiritual will, the other party will definitely resist fiercely, and the soul will often disintegrate on its own. However, when we made the contract, the contractor included all the thoughts that came to this plane."

Wei Miao suddenly realized, "The God of Freedom?"

“That’s right.” Five Lucky Rats were already used to her keen perception. “The true spirit of the God of Freedom is still there, but the damage to his will is too severe. His thinking is chaotic, like a blank sheet of paper. It is much easier to write his will on it than to forcibly erase his will and then write it on.”

“It won’t be easy to accomplish this, at least I don’t have the means to do so. However, since you were able to control that black dragon composed of thousands of souls, you should be confident.”

“After possessing the true spirit, the idol will not change and will remain faceless. Therefore, the true spirit must be transferred to another normal idol. Over the years, there must have been those who, like me, sought to transcend, and their idols became empty shells. With your current power, it is not difficult to find them.”
