I am the one running the game

Chapter 493: The Four Saints of Qianyuan, Cultivating Themselves with Taoism
Gao Wu's coming to this world can be summarized as being arrogant, getting beaten, lying dormant, and then being arrogant and getting beaten again.

The first two times of arrogance and being beaten happened when he faced the immortals and gods, and the last two times of arrogance and being beaten happened after he met Lu Xingshi.

During that time, he was dormant in the abyss of the deep sea, and then Shanshi disappeared.

As for the five turbidities and evil worlds, he knew a lot, most of which was passed on to him by Shanshi.

The Five Turbidities and Evil World have indeed only appeared in the last hundred years, but their birth was not that recent. When Gao Wu came to this world, the Five Turbidities and Evil World had already been born and were just in the process of developing and growing.

During this period, Gao Wu's good corpse not only failed to stop it, but also continued to help the tyrant. It can be said that Gao Wu's good corpse made an indispensable contribution to the fact that the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds could have such power.

If you want to use the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds as a whetstone to kill the evil corpses for yourself, then the most crucial point is that this whetstone must be strong enough. It is not like leveling up by beating monsters, where you can gain experience by killing them.

Therefore, the Five Turbidities and Evil Worlds were terrifying enough, which made Gao Wucai able to successfully kill the evil corpse.

"So the question now is, if your good corpse has lost its soul, can it be recreated?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.

For the reincarnated body of Lu Xingshi, the spiritual root of heaven and earth, the Fusang tree, is not a problem. Lu Xingshi can extract it directly from his body. He just wants to replace it with a spiritual root of heaven and earth.

It’s not that the hibiscus tree is bad, but that the hibiscus tree is not quite suitable for him.

On the contrary, Lu Xingshi was envious of Xu Yi's peach tree, but of course Lu Xingshi wanted to choose the ancient Bodhi tree, mainly because it matched Lu Xingshi's positioning.

The ancient Bodhi tree can increase one's spiritual understanding and has the ability to deduce magic spells and supernatural powers. It is a bit like a spiritual root computer, and Lu Xingshi plans to use this thing.

"What do you want my good corpse for?" Gao Wu was puzzled. He had already caught the real body, so what was the use of the good corpse?

"Why do you care what I do?" Lu Xingshi retorted, "As a prisoner, you should be aware of being a prisoner. Don't ask me what I do."

"No, Shanshi is my incarnation. When he dies, he will disappear between heaven and earth. What's more, he has failed to be reincarnated. How can it be saved?" Gao Wu answered directly.

Although he didn't know what Lu Xingshi was going to do, he was sure of one thing, that was there must be some kind of plan.

"What method do you practice?"

"Would you mind telling me about it?" Lu Xingshi stopped asking questions about Shanshi. As for the Taoist inheritance of Chunyang Taiyi God that he had obtained from Xu Yi before, this was true, but it was not what Gao Wu practiced, but a new inheritance formed by Shanshi combining this world.

"What I am practicing is the Great Sun Pure Yang Sutra created by my master. Only the Golden Crow clan can practice it."

“Even if the Golden Crows want to practice, they still need the Red Sun, the acquired companion spirit treasure bestowed by the master, to practice. Otherwise, this technique is extremely fierce, and ordinary Golden Crows cannot withstand the power of the sun.”

What Gao Wu meant was to euphemistically express that he didn't want to give it.

This is normal. After all, this is the foundation of his life. If he gives it away, there will be nothing left after it is passed on, which is almost like being stripped of his underwear.

"Such a rigorous technique, the more you talk about it, the more interested I am."

“To be honest, not only the Great Red Emperor has a golden crow, I also have one, and its name is Red Sun Golden Crow.”

"Even though I split it up, it doesn't mean it's gone."

"So, can you teach me?" Lu Xingshi looked at Gao Wu with burning eyes.

Reject politely? No chance of that. Either give it to him honestly, or Lu Xingshi will use the Soul-stealing Fruit to directly extract the other party's soul and force him to look at it.

“…” Gao Wu was speechless. Are Golden Crows so rampant now?

When he came to this world, there were indeed some distant relatives of his, the Golden Crows, but compared to him, the gap was too huge.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, but the inheritance has restrictions and I can't reveal it at all." Gao Wu could only tell the truth.

"Your master is Yuanshi Tianwang. He must be a unique and powerful person in your world," asked Lu Xingshi.

Gao Wu nodded. There were three other beings who could be compared to Yuanshi Tianwang, so what Lu Xingshi said was correct.

"Then what is he afraid of? It's just a martial arts method, not some rare treasure. You said that practicing it is so difficult. It's not a big deal even if it is spread out. Why do you need to encrypt it?" Lu Xingshi was a little confused.

In addition to limiting the species, exclusive equipment is also needed. With these two conditions alone, even if the skills are leaked, it will not be a problem.

What? Would someone catch me at my weak spot because of a loophole in my technique?
There are loopholes in your skills, but instead of thinking about fixing them, you're trying to cover them up. What a weird idea.

When one reaches Lu Xingshi's level, there are only three ways to find one's own shortcomings. The first is the simplest way, which is to reflect on oneself three times a day to find out what one has missed and fill in the gaps. The second is to use other systems as a reference to discover one's own shortcomings.

The last point depends on the enemy. After all, if the enemy wants to deal with you, he will definitely find your shortcomings and weaknesses.

However, most of the time, Lu Xingshi used the first two methods to strengthen himself, and the last method was indeed a bit too suicidal.

Of course, what Lu Xingshi couldn't understand even more was that as Gao Wu was a disciple, Yuanshi Tianwang had no right to restrict him from watching anything.

Looking Gao Wu up and down, a sense of déjà vu suddenly emerged in his mind.

For example, words like tool, shield, scapegoat, etc. In fact, it is possible that Lu Xingshi is overthinking, and perhaps he is simply trying to stop Gao Wu from spreading the Great Sun Pure Yang Sutra. After all, from Gao Wu's words, this technique is tailor-made for him, and other Jinwus have no way to practice it.

This will prevent Gao Wu from being soft-hearted or taking in disciples, which would result in the death of his own people.

But judging from the temperament that Gao Wu brings with him in his words and deeds, the possibility is not great. The atmosphere in the world where he lives tends to be evil forces, and the idea of ​​doing good for you is very small. There must be interests and values ​​involved.

"I am so grateful for your kindness, how dare I guess." Gao Wu answered Lu Xingshi's question. In fact, he thought that it was normal for the inheritance of martial arts to have restrictions.

It's nothing like this world, where you can obtain inheritance just by passing the test. It's really a joke.

There is no confidentiality at all.

This is where the disparity between the worlds lies. The world where Gao Wu lives emphasizes aptitude and origin, while this world of immortal heroes emphasizes character and morality.

"Well, then don't tell me." Lu Xingshi gave up verbally, but in fact he was waiting to see for himself later.

You have a plan, and I have a ladder. It's not impossible to solve it.

"Then tell me about your world. I'm still very curious about the world you live in."

Lu Xingshi dragged Gao Wu and quickly settled him down. All he had to do next was wait.

"The world I live in is called Qianyuan Realm, which is..."

The world that Gao Wu described was indeed somewhat similar to the primitive world that Lu Xingshi had heard of, except that the setting was a little different.

For example, there is no witch clan.

There are a lot of strange-looking mythical beasts, ferocious beasts, auspicious beasts and other monsters, and of course, the indispensable one is the human race.

However, there is not much conflict between humans and monsters. Instead, they are more like one civilization, and the only difference is that they are different species.

There were even intermarriages during this period, which gave rise to half-demon-like beings.

In addition, there is no concept of dynasty or country in the overall structure, only sects as forces.

In fact, all sects are derived from the Taoist traditions passed down by four saints.

The goal of all living things is to become a saint, but throughout history, there have been only a few who can become saints. Only the four ancestors at the beginning of the world have become saints.

They are Yuanshi Tianwang, Taishang Tianzun, Dark Hell Demon and Eternal Tianjun.

As Lu Xingshi listened to the description, he had a strange feeling, that is, these four people seemed to be taking a similar path as him, all of them were the type who used the country to support themselves.

It’s just that the other party belongs to the type that nourishes themselves with the Tao. By spreading their own Tao, they allow themselves to always be the source and thus become saints.

It is simply impossible for others to become saints. How can they succeed in seeking the Tao in the Tao? No matter how good it is, it is just like building a temple in a snail shell. How much can they achieve?

Just like someone who has practiced the "Golden Book and Jade Book" or someone who has become a character in the game, it is impossible for them to surpass Lu Xingshi.

Their strength is Lu Xingshi's strength. No matter how powerful it is, it is only contributing to Lu Xingshi's strength.

"These four saints are indeed fellow travelers." Lu Xingshi commented with a strange look on his face.

Gao Wu did not understand what Lu Xingshi meant, and instead said, "It is said that when the four saints became saints, they not only killed the three corpses and merged with the Tao, but also made great contributions when the heaven and earth were created. That is why they have the ability they have now."

"So when the quasi-saints killed the three corpses, they had the magic test as a shortcut."

"The devil's test is originally to use the great merit of saving the world or creating the sky, and use the calamity as a whetstone. If you succeed, you will reach heaven in one step." Gao Wu said directly.

Although he only advanced from the early stage of quasi-saint to the middle stage of quasi-saint, the middle stage after beheading the corpses of good and evil was enough to crush countless early stages. At first glance, it was just a small realm, but the gap was as huge as a chasm.

"So what is the principle of becoming stronger by killing the three corpses?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously. In his opinion, the so-called killing the three corpses is a bit like an incarnation or a clone.

Why does it become stronger after separation? Shouldn't it become weaker? It can't be that the impurities are discharged, which would be even more problematic.

What strength do you have? You still want to expel impurities. Where can you get so many impurities to expel?

"This is the law of heaven, which originates from..." Gao Wu muttered to himself and continued to explain the settings to Lu Xingshi.

Lu Xingshi probably understood why. It was the same as the cultivation in the world of immortals and heroes. You just need to improve yourself.

However, Lu Xingshi suspected that this was most likely the work of the four saints from the Qianyuan Realm.

Even more conspiracy-theoretic, there is actually only one person among these four saints, and the remaining three are the three corpses of someone.

Lu Xingshi was not sure about the rest, but his guess was true. The so-called Dark Prison Demon must be an evil corpse.
