Copy of the reckless man: I can see the status bar

"No, this is not 'devil', it is just a disregard for human life, using it like consumables."

Lu Wenwu shook his head.

"And do you think the righteous path doesn't have such means? How about the Beastmaster Sect's Beast Soul Battle Puppet? Or do you have no idea about the intelligence level of demon cultivators above the Demon Pill Stage? The Puppet Heart Sect simply puts humans on the same level as demon beasts."

The Blood River Demon Lord was speechless.

What Lu Wenwu said was indeed correct.

I am the Demon Lord, but I didn't expect that I would subconsciously become hypocritical.

Lu Wenwu continued, "I remember that you have some famous things in the magic world, such as the Human Emperor Banner that can be made by inviting a person's soul into a small flag, or the Umbrella of Ten Thousand People that can be made by refining it into an umbrella, right?"

"There is also the Nirvana Palace, which can melt the bones of many people together to achieve eternal immortality and form a cool palace for defense or attack. And there are also body-refining pills that can burn the essence of flesh and blood into a small ball and eat it to increase one's own magic power and strengthen one's body, right?"

The Blood River Demon Lord thought about it and thought that he should be talking about the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, the Blood Soul Umbrella, the White Bone Battle Palace, and the last one, the Blood Food Pill.

"This must be a demonic method, right?" He couldn't help but ask, "Extracting souls and refining spirits, melting bones and solidifying flesh, there is nothing more cruel than this."

"Look, you still haven't realized it."

Lu Wenwu shrugged with a hint of regret on his face.

"Whether it's your magic tools or elixirs, or your talismans made of human bones or skin, or your use of humans as blood food or spiritual stones, in the final analysis, they can only be considered as 'cruel'."

"What is cruelty? This is defined based on human morality. It is something that happens to other living beings that humans cannot stand. Anything that meets this standard is cruel."

"Look, you call yourself a demon cultivator, you call yourself a demon, but in fact you are still confined to the category of 'human'. You are still restricted by human morality. You still know what you are doing."

"All cultivators in the world use the skin of monsters to make talismans, their blood to make ink, their bones to refine weapons, their souls to make puppets, and their flesh to make pills. The other party also has the same intelligence as humans, so why does no one think this is bloody and cruel?"

"In my opinion, among all the cultivators of your demonic sect, even if you include the cultivators who have already ascended to heaven and the ancient demon cultivators who are far more cruel than you are now, not a single cultivator can be considered a true 'demon'."

"You are at best a bunch of bad guys, a bunch of evil guys, a bunch of cruel, evil guys."

"As for the techniques and methods you use, if you package them in some way, there is absolutely no problem in calling them Xuanmen's orthodox methods."

"Using the blood melting technique to help other monks regenerate their broken limbs, this shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

"Let the female cultivators of the He Huan Sect open a brothel and use the two-way Yin-Yang Dragon-Phoenix Heaven-Earth Interaction Method to ensure that both parties benefit at the same time. Do it in small amounts and multiple times. Do you think the cultivators in the world will call them living Bodhisattvas?"

"Is it difficult to cleanse yourself and become a righteous monk? The boundary between black and white is inherently blurred, and people are even more dualistic. They can change at any time."

"It's not like that with humans and demons."

"You said it yourself before - people have limits."

"Indeed, it is true for you."

"But the devil has no limits."

"If you want to become a demon, if you want to become a real demon, you must abandon the part that belongs to you as a human."

"When you throw away all the limitations of being a 'human', throw away all the morals and ethics defined by humans, and truly begin to view and treat the world from an inhuman perspective, then you are truly 'possessed by the devil'."

Having said that, Lu Wenwu paused for a moment, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Are you ready to stop being a human?"

Chapter 273 What is the Devil Way (Part )

The Blood River Demon Lord’s breathing stagnated.

He knelt down unconsciously with a plop and kowtowed respectfully to the person in front of him, observing the etiquette of a disciple.

"Little cultivator Xu Shiqing, I beg your majesty to give me some guidance."

Lu Wenwu said with interest: "So, do you want to become a demon, or a demon cultivator?"

The Blood River Demon Lord was slightly stunned.

Aren't these two feelings the same thing?

Lu Wenwu saw his confusion and said, "Demon cultivators are demon cultivators. To put it bluntly, they are still cultivators who have practiced the immortal way, but their behavior is close to that of demons."

"Even if you can transcend the calamity and ascend to become a so-called immortal or demon, do you think that this is a demon? You are wrong. You are still an immortal."

"Let me ask you, why do you want to become an immortal? Why do you want to cultivate magic?"

"For eternal life and freedom." The Blood River Demon Lord answered without hesitation.

This is a very conventional answer. In the world of immortal cultivation, if you ask this kind of question, 999 out of a thousand people will give this answer.

Lu Wenwu asked again: "Then do you think you will be free after becoming an immortal? The immortal world also has the heaven, the heaven also has rules, and the immortals also have their own realms of cultivation. Do you think that after you ascend to heaven, you can punch the Jade Emperor, step on the Lord of Mount Tai, jump out of the Three Realms, and not be in the Five Elements?"

The Blood River Demon Lord looked confused.

He knew every word Lu Wenwu said.

But when they were put together, why didn't he understand?

For the first time, the great master of magic who had been a genius for thousands of years felt that his comprehension might be quite poor.

Lu Wenwu shook his head slightly: "Immortals are just freedom within the rules, and are still bound by human nature. Don't you see that the so-called ruthless sword immortals are still chivalrous? If they are really ruthless, why do they do this useless work?"

"Demons are the ultimate freedom and ease that comes from throwing away all the shackles that humans have placed on themselves, all the morals and ethics that all intelligent creatures have, and all the rules of the universe."

"It's nothing else, just two words - rules."

"Those who follow the order are immortals."

"Those without order are demons."

"Absolute neutrality is the way of heaven."

The Blood River Demon Lord was scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.

He felt that he had a vague understanding, but it was like scratching an itch through a shoe, and he couldn't grasp the faint flash of inspiration at all.

There's nothing else to it, what Lu Wenwu said was a bit too lofty.

This is somewhat difficult to understand for a magic practitioner who has not received modern philosophy education.

The Blood River Demon Lord has been trying very hard to understand the Blue Star words that Lu Wenwu translated into the language of the immortal world, but there is still a little gap.

"A rotten tree cannot be carved." Lu Wenwu sighed, "These concepts may be a little abstract to you, so let's start with the concrete ones."

"Given your current situation, the possibility of becoming a true demon is slim. But you have already made some progress on the path of demon cultivation within the scope of the immortal way, and are heading in the right direction."

"You see, you have realized the importance of the number of mortals, and have begun to consciously keep and control the number of mortals in order to strengthen the common resources of the magic practitioners."

"But have you ever thought that you haven't done this to the extreme?"

"Extreme?"

The Blood River Demon Lord couldn't help but scratch his messy blood-red hair.

“Extreme.”

Lu Wenwu nodded.

"You are currently making too little use of people, and your methods of cultivating reserve materials are too backward. You are not even as good as the people in those mortal countries in raising pigs."

"Of course, this is not just your problem, it's the problem of all demon cultivators. In the final analysis, you are still a branch of the immortal way, still thinking with the 'human' mindset, and you cannot be considered a true demon cultivator."

"Take the Ten Thousand Souls Banner as an example. Your ritual involves raising enough mortals, making them fat and strong, and then killing them. Kill about a county's worth of people, collect their souls and resentment, refine 10,000 resentful souls, and store them in the banner."

"In fact, this is completely wrong and a complete waste. This backward approach stems from your lack of understanding of the soul, or a habitual neglect of the past and neglect of the present."

"What is the core of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner? It's the soul. What does a fat and strong body have to do with a weak soul? The soul is already formed the moment the embryo is fully developed. Without cultivation, the power and breadth of information that the soul can carry will not change."

"Therefore, whether the Ten Thousand Souls Banner uses the souls of babies, adults, old people, or even monsters, there will be no difference in power."

"Then the correct way is to directly extract the soul of the baby and refine it. Raising them until they are fifteen or sixteen years old is a complete waste of resources. Moreover, this kind of soul is still blank, and can be cultivated into a ghost baby through the Yin Gathering Land."

"Once the Ten Thousand Souls Ghost Banner refined in this way is activated, the wind will howl and the resentment will rise to the sky. Isn't this much stronger than the ordinary Ten Thousand Souls Banner that you spent more than ten years to refine?"

"In terms of material breeding, you have only changed from unmanned free-range breeding to managed free-range breeding, but you have not solved the fundamental problem. From the perspective of productivity, if you let immortal cultivators farm, the workload of one person is equivalent to that of thousands of ordinary people!"

"Then the correct approach should be to manage them in batches like livestock, with all females used as reproductive machines and all males used as sowing machines. After sowing successfully once a year, they are sent to the farmland to help with farming."

"The good ones can be sown several times, and selective breeding can be carried out to iterate the quality of the offspring and replace the bad genes."

"During the process of mothers giving birth to offspring, any problems that mortals encounter should be recorded by the Hehuan Sect. They can be solved by simply taking inferior elixirs. These mothers start giving birth at around the age of fourteen. Even if they die at the age of thirty, they can still contribute sixteen times the population. It's worth it."

"Place the mother's fertility base in a place where yin gathers. Use the elixir of the Hehuan Sect to make the mother pregnant in the yin year, yin month, yin day, yin hour and yin moment. Use the formation to draw yin evil into the body during the gestation process. Then we can artificially cultivate extremely yin bodies in large quantities. This kind of physique is top-notch whether it is used as a cauldron or a magic cultivator."

"Of course, this method wastes the mother body a bit. It's not cost-effective. You can't make too many at once. If you make too many, you won't be able to use them all or maintain them. You can't refine them all into magic tools, that would be a bit too much."

"If we build a normal production line consisting of one million reproductive mothers, we can produce one hundred Ten Thousand Soul Banners every year. And to feed a mere two million mortals, do you think that's difficult? You, the Blood Refining Demon Sect, can do it by yourself."

"After normal babies are born, they are directly screened. Those with spiritual roots are selected and sent to the sect for cultivation. Those without spiritual roots but with excellent souls and bodies are cultivated as the next generation of breeding bodies and mother bodies to expand the breeding scale. The rest are consumables."

"As for the mother bodies and breeding bodies, pick out the good-looking ones and sell them to the Hehuan Sect or Huanxi Zen Sect after their body functions decline. As for the rest, you can kill them and accumulate blood evil energy. Collect the blood for your own use, and sell the resentment to the Desire Demon Sect."

"Strip off the flesh and sell it to the Gluttonous Blood Demon Sect, remove the bones and sell them to the Corpse Puppet Sect or the White Bone Demon Sect, trade the internal organs with the Demonic Beast or the Multifaceted Demon Sect, and separate the eyeballs and sell them to the Ten Thousand Eyes Sect. They will definitely give you a good price."

"The discarded flesh and blood that no one wants can be sold to the Corpse Pill Sect. They should need these things as waste materials to stimulate the growth of their blood spirit fields."

"Oh yes, you can also consider using the uterus and reproductive system that were separated from the mother's body."

"We should go find the Multifaceted Demon Sect that specializes in human body modification and grafting and see if we can design a system that allows the uterus to survive on its own as a true fertility machine. This will consume fewer resources and allow for more intervention."

"If we can achieve artificial adjustment during the process of breeding the offspring, we can achieve targeted cultivation. For example, the Ten Thousand Eyes Sect needs a lot of eyes, so we can try to cultivate offspring with dozens of eyes, and so on."

"It's okay for the righteous side, but your ability to integrate resources is so poor. You must know that win-win cooperation is the capital for progress. You are completely a mess, so how can you become an immortal?"

"If the Demonic Path wants to make progress, it must understand: reducing costs and improving efficiency, supply chain cooperation, monopolizing technical resources, and cultivating industrialized thinking. If you don't understand these, you will be completely wiped out by the Righteous Path sooner or later."

"Huh? Why do you look like that?"

Lu Wenwu said a lot of things in a flash, and when he turned around, he saw the Blood River Demon Lord kneeling there sweating profusely, his forehead covered with sweat, and his eyes switching back and forth between fanaticism and fear.

The enthusiasm is because Lu Wenwu’s ideas are really outrageous.

If this method is continued, the speed at which the evil path will grow will be unimaginable for the righteous path.

If all the mortals within the range of the Demonic Path were raised in this way, within a few years, he would be able to condense a sea of ​​blood, and even refine the Yin-Netherworld Fallen Heaven Creation Flag that was said to require tens of thousands of ghost babies and an extremely yin body to have a chance of being created!

There is hope for ascension!

Fear is because

Lu Wenwu's behavior is no longer challenging the moral bottom line of mankind. It is completely changing the development path of mortals since ancient times. It is completely against the way of heaven!

Challenge the rules of heaven!
