Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 390 The White Lotus Sect is still too righteous.

Lu Yang inquired in detail about the doctrines and development model of the White Lotus Sect from three of its divine rulers, and the results he received astonished him.

"Master is unaware of the truth."

The three divine lords are Qinglian, Zilian, and Jinlian. Zilian is a great divine lord comparable to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while Jinlian is at the mid-stage perfection stage.

At this moment, it was naturally the Golden Lotus Divine Lord who spoke first:
"Although my White Lotus Sect bewitches people, it does not simply deceive them. If it were just deceiving people and had no real benefits, it would not have gathered so many believers."

"Moreover, the hearts of those who have been bewitched not only require daily spells to control, but are also extremely complicated. The incense offerings generated are far less pure than those of fanatical believers. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, we generally do not use such spells. Instead, we rely more on genuine kindness to win the hearts and minds of believers."

"Yes, yes!"

The Azure Lotus Divine Lord hurriedly echoed, "Our sect's sacred land, the [Void Homeland], is a true place of ultimate bliss. People living there experience no disasters, difficulties, or fears."

"All believers yearn for it."

"That's why they have such deep faith in my White Lotus Sect."

The Purple Lotus God also explained, "Among our believers, we select the most devout each year and send them to the [Vacuum Homeland] to enjoy the ultimate bliss."

"Let's take this as an example."

"The remaining believers, seeing this, naturally followed suit, aspired to it, and worked even harder to contribute to the church, offering all their money and faith."

After the explanations from the three divine lords, Lü Yang quickly understood how the White Lotus Sect operated, and then he was deeply shocked.

"No, you guys actually support believers."

Indeed, according to the three deities, the Vacuum Homeland is actually supporting fanatical believers, spending countless sums of money on it every day.

The operating model is also very simple: use the wealth of the most low-level White Lotus followers to support the fanatical believers in the "Vacuum Homeland," and then eliminate them every once in a while to recruit new blood to ensure circulation and thus maintain the stability of the entire sect's incense offerings.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

The Golden Lotus God sighed, "These unruly people need something to look forward to, otherwise they'll easily cause trouble. And if they do, people's hearts will be unsettled, and the number of offerings will decrease."

"However, there have been many difficulties in the teaching in recent years."

"Although the selection process is already very strict, the number of believers in [Vacuum Homeland] continues to increase, and the money spent every day is also increasing."

“In recent months, the sect has been struggling to make ends meet, which is why we sent disciples to this remote place to explore new sources of income and recruit more capable and hardworking believers. After all, the more believers there are, the better the ‘Vacuum Hometown’ will thrive.”

"You guys..."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang shook his head, looking at the three Divine Lords with an expression of utter disappointment: "Is this all the White Lotus Sect is? Their conduct is still far too upright!"

".ah?"

The three deities were taken aback upon hearing this. They had heard plenty of stories about cults, but this was the first time they had heard anyone describe their White Lotus Sect as being too upright.

Then Lü Yang said calmly, "In the end, why do you use money to support them?"

What can you do if you don't raise them?

The Golden Lotus God asked in confusion, "Believers are also human beings. Humans need to eat, have many desires, and need to enjoy themselves. All of these require money to fulfill."

"Are believers even human?"

"Can't you use a little illusion magic? Turn cornbread into delicacies, tattered clothes into fine silks, and then confuse his senses to make him believe it's real. Wouldn't that achieve the same effect and save you money?"

Even Lu Yang would say that this is all a waste.

After all, the Myriad Spirits Banner is more efficient. Once it becomes a banner spirit, it doesn't need to eat at all. It can live by consuming spiritual energy, and all kinds of luxuries can be transformed within the banner.

This is definitely a way to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Not to mention that the spirit of the banner has a special nature. No matter what your previous thoughts were, once you voluntarily join the banner, you only have loyalty in your heart, and your incense and faith are also very pure.

"Alright, take me to see your followers."

At Lü Yang's command, the three Divine Lords dared not disobey. After all, as Divine Lords of the White Lotus Sect, they each had their own private sanctuary. Seven Luminaries Heaven, several remote cities.

The City God Temple here has long been deserted, and every household now enshrines the tablets of the White Lotus Sect, praying sincerely to them day and night.

However, in the last few days, the situation has changed.

In the past, the responses given by the memorial tablets were all about the White Lotus doctrine, and then presented the beauty of the "Vacuum Homeland" to motivate the believers.

However, a new name has recently emerged.

【The Heaven of Separation and Sorrow】

"To escape all worldly fears and anxieties, and the lingering hatred, and to ascend to the highest heaven, without any conditions required, for everyone to go voluntarily."

At first, no one believed it.

However, after the White Lotus Sect deity they originally worshipped personally appeared and gave his testimony, they had no choice but to believe, especially since Lü Yang had packaged himself very well.

"Gentlemen, your hard times are over!"

"Good days are coming!"

"The Eternal Mother descended to earth, willing to deliver all beings. All believers, regardless of gender or age, may enter the [Heaven of Separation from Hatred] and enjoy ultimate bliss thereafter."

Who wouldn't be confused by this?
Especially since everyone present was a follower of the White Lotus Sect, who didn't believe that their faith was sincere and that the White Lotus Sect's deity had endorsed it? This must be true!
In an instant, the crowd surged with emotion.

Lu Yang didn't even need to do anything; he simply opened the entrance to the Myriad Spirits Banner and placed it there, and countless people rushed in one after another.

What they believed before is irrelevant.

First, they lure people in with the name of the "Eternal Mother," and once they're inside, what they believe in is entirely up to them. It's just a matter of a single word.

"hiss!"

Upon seeing this scene, the three Divine Lords of the White Lotus Sect gasped in shock, but Lu Yang remained calm and showed no emotion whatsoever.

When a living person enters the banner, just like Chen Xin'an and Master Tingyou, they are not completely dead. Apart from absolute loyalty to themselves, they are basically unchanged.

Some people might find this cruel.

However, in the Holy Ancestor, we generally refer to it as high efficiency.

'However, we can't accept them all at once. This is currently just a last resort to accumulate offerings, since the spirit banners can't reproduce.'

Once things stabilize, Lü Yang plans to open the Wanlingfan Elderly Service Center.

In short, it involves transforming elderly people who are nearing the end of their lifespan but have not yet truly died into spirit banners, thereby achieving sustainable exploitation.

"Then I can issue a doctrine that as long as you work hard when you're young and have three or four children, you can ascend to heaven to enjoy happiness when you're old. In this way, not only can we achieve explosive population growth, but we can also harvest on a large scale almost every year."

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Thinking of this, Lü Yang grinned and released the people who had been transformed into banner spirits back out, without making them immediately choose to change their faith.

"No rush. Things will work out if you take your time."

Changing one's beliefs too quickly could easily alarm the White Lotus Sect, especially the "Eternal Mother," a powerful deity comparable to the Foundation Establishment stage, whom he is not someone he can currently handle.

Therefore, he must gradually erode it!

Using the White Lotus Sect followers who have now become banner spirits as the foundation, we will gradually erode the other followers of the White Lotus Sect until the entire White Lotus Sect is replaced!

When all the followers of the White Lotus Sect have become banner spirits.

What about the Unborn Mother?

At that time, the true lineage of the White Lotus Sect will be established in [Lihentian]!
