Honghuang: Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 43 043 Human Fragility
The jade slip records an unconventional practice called "Blood God's Art", which is a method of speeding up practice by devouring the essence and blood of humans.

According to the introduction of "Blood God Art", by practicing this method, even if one has poor talent, one can break through the Qi training stage within ten years.

The Qi training stage is the first realm for Qi cultivators, and it is divided into nine levels in total. It took Lu Ya three full years just to get started, and he was able to break through the ninth level of Qi training in ten years. It is truly extraordinary.

But... as a fellow human, how could he bring himself to do that?

Shaking his head, Lu Ya temporarily put the "Blood God Art" aside, and then took out the second jade slip from the jade ring.

After unfolding the jade slip and taking a glance at it, Lu Ya frowned again. This guy must be a devil. Why is his practice method so evil?
Following the "Blood God Art", now there is another "Yin God Art".

The Yin God never cultivates magical powers, but only the soul. If it can achieve great success, it can survive even if the physical body collapses. As long as the soul is immortal, it will not die.

However, this Yin Shen Jue requires devouring the souls of humans to practice.

If Lu Ya had not seen the real method of practicing Qi, he would probably have really regarded these two methods as the right way of practicing, thinking that this was the way of practicing in the world.

After closing the Yin Shen Jue, Lu Ya placed his hope on the last jade slip, but when he took it out and looked at it, he was immediately disappointed.

The last jade slip did not record any cultivation techniques, but some knowledge of alchemy and several pill recipes, and none of the pills recorded in those recipes were normal.

They are all evil pills used to assist in the practice of two techniques.

"Boom."

Lu Ya kicked the mummy away and said, "I said I would inherit your legacy and bury you in peace. Now it seems that burying you will only pollute the land."

"Humph."

With a cold snort, Lu Ya put away the alchemy furnace and left the cave directly.

After walking out of the cave, Lu Ya hunted two wild boars, then returned to the tribe and plunged into a state of practice without desire or ambition.

In the blink of an eye, it was ten years later.

Over the past ten years, Lu Ya's cultivation had not improved at all, as if he was stuck at the first level of Qi training. During this period, he had evil thoughts and wanted to practice the evil way, but he eventually suppressed them.

On this day, a hunter returning from the mountains brought news that his father had been killed by a tiger.

Lu Ya was furious and went into the mountains immediately. He searched for seven days and killed all the tigers in the mountains. But when he returned, he found that his mother had died of excessive grief.

Looking at his mother's body, Lu Ya felt extremely regretful.

His father had just passed away, and he should have stayed at home with his mother and comforted her. If so, how could his mother have died of excessive grief?

Later, with the help of various families, Lu Ya buried his parents.

Another year passed, and Lu Ya still failed to break through to the second level of Qi training. He was 32 years old at this time. After rejecting the matchmaker who came to his door again, Lu Ya resolutely left the tribe.

After leaving the tribe, Lu Ya finally saw a wider world.

He met other human beings and other Qi cultivators, some of whom were evil cultivators. He also saw demons, monsters, ghosts and monsters, and realized how vast the world was.

During this period, Lu Ya's cultivation finally made a breakthrough, but he only broke through to the second level of Qi training.

At the same time, he also learned from other Qi Refiners that with his talent, if he had no chance, he would not be able to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining in this lifetime, and the third level of Qi Refining was already his limit.

After reaching the third stage of Qi training, one’s life span is no more than a hundred years, and the final outcome is nothing more than a handful of earth.

After seeing the reality clearly, Lu Ya had evil thoughts several times and wanted to practice the evil martial arts. He even took action several times, but he was just one step away.

But in the end, he was awakened by the cries for mercy and was unable to do it.

Finally, Lu Ya found a wife who looked like a fairy, returned to the tribe, and passed on the righteous cultivation methods he learned from the outside to some young people in the tribe. From then on, Lu Ya began his secluded life until his death.

……

Lu Ya suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Wei Guang and the others in front of him with a confused look on his face. His thoughts were still not out of the test for a while.

"I am dead, am I not? I..."

Suddenly, Lu Ya woke up and realized that he was the prince of the demon court, Golden Crow Lu Ya, and not the Lu Ya in his dream.

Although Lu Ya has woken up, everything he experienced in the dream is still vivid in his mind, as if it were his real life experience.

At this moment, Lu Ya understood that it was just a test.

"Brother Lu Ya, welcome to join Jiejiao. I hope you can still stick to your original intention like in the dream. Otherwise, you will end up like Chang Er and others."

As he spoke, Wei Guang waved his hand and recreated the fate of Chang'er and others in the past with an illusion.

After seeing what happened to Chang'er and others, Lu Ya witnessed for the first time how ruthless Wei Guang was. Those were five thousand fellow disciples, not strangers.

Wei Guang killed people without hesitation, without even giving them a chance to reincarnate.

"Junior brother must keep this in mind."

Wei Guang nodded slightly and said no more.

Although he didn't know why Lu Ya came to Jiejiao, since he had passed the character test, Wei Guang would naturally not turn him away.

Jin Ling said at this time: "Junior Brother Lu Ya, take a rest on the side first. When the other junior brothers pass the test, I will take you to meet the master together."

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Lu Ya bowed slightly to express his gratitude, then sat down aside.

Lu Ya’s test has ended, but others’ are still in progress, or have just begun. Different people have different performances in the illusion.

Human nature cannot withstand the test, especially this kind of directional test.

To be honest, if it were Wei Guang himself, he might not have the confidence to pass the test, but apart from this method, he really couldn't think of any other way.

This method may force many people to become evil practitioners, but as long as they can pass it, there will be no great evil people.

As for the pass rate, to be honest, Wei Guang didn't care much about it. He even hoped that no one would pass. The current number of Jiejiao disciples was enough.

However, Wei Guang still underestimated human nature.

As time went by, more and more people came out of the formation. Although many more people were kicked out, there were also many kind-hearted people.

Five hundred years passed in a flash.

As the last person walked out of the formation, Wei Guang waved his hand to remove the formation and announced to the public that this round of recruiting disciples was over.

Although many who failed the test were unwilling, they had nothing to say, because from the moment they woke up, they had already understood the true meaning of this test.

Wei Guang ignored those people and looked at the people who passed the test.

This test lasted for five hundred years. In addition to the tens of thousands of people at the beginning, more people arrived later, and the total number of people participating in the test was no less than one million.

But the number of people who passed the level was less than 30,000.
