Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

But after practicing it, Loran realized that destruction was merely the outward appearance of this demonic power. Its essence was to destroy the false shell of things, thereby revealing the true principle: to distinguish truth from falsehood. From this power, Loran evolved a move called "Great Crimson Lotus of Destruction," manifesting the power of the divine ability in the form of fire.

Once, while robbing a cultivator, he unintentionally abducted a family cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining. The other party's supernatural abilities and spells were astonishing, and he had mastered far more than just one proficient spell. At first, Loran thought it was some old monster who had resumed cultivation, so he paid some attention.

Through a deep soul search, Loran learned that the other party possessed a "Cultivation Proficiency System." This system attempted to leave even after the host's death, so Loran used the "Great Crimson Lotus Fire of Destruction" to see what the true nature of the system was.

After the system's outer shell was destroyed by the "Great Crimson Lotus Fire of Destruction," its true nature was revealed to be a fragment. This fragment was not a physical object, but rather something beyond the material realm, a metaphysical existence; if one had to describe it, "fragment of the Great Dao" would be more appropriate.

However, at this moment, Loran also remembered that in his previous life he said that "once proven, forever proven, never to regress" was the characteristic of the Great Luo Dao Fruit. Therefore, he called the fragmented state that the system showed after returning to its essence the Dao Fruit Fragment.

This fragment of the Dao Fruit is of an incredibly high level. It is one of the few things that Loran can bring from the real world into the "Heaven of Other Transformation". Its essence is at least at the level of the origin of the world. Loran is still comprehending this fragment of the Dao Fruit. The principles contained within are profound and far beyond what Loran can fully understand in a short time.

"Aside from my work as a Tribulation Cultivator, I've been analyzing the principles within this fragment of the Dao Fruit, and from it, I've comprehended three great immortal techniques: the 'Sun and Moon Illuminating the Heavens Great Immortal Technique,' the 'Mending the Deficiencies of the Next Day Great Immortal Technique,' and the 'Fleeting Light and Shadow Great Immortal Technique.'"

"These three great immortal techniques correspond to the three most crucial abilities of the proficiency system: 'learning state solidification,' 'adaptive error correction,' and 'environmental adaptation.' Of course, this Dao Fruit also contains many other subtle principles, but these are the main ones."

"'Learning State Solidification' ensures that acquired knowledge and experience never regress; 'Adaptive Error Correction' avoids rote practice and allows the experience progress bar to continuously grow; and 'Environmental Adaptation' ensures that different spells and skills can exert sufficient power in different environmental conditions."

In other worlds, Loran was carefully comprehending the three great immortal techniques that Loran had shared with him. He couldn't help but marvel at the heaven-defying nature of these three immortal techniques. They were the closest to the Dao, and with the blessing of these three great immortal techniques, Loran's already strong learning ability became even more extraordinary.

The cultivator Loran added, "With the blessing of these three great immortal techniques, I can quickly master almost any spell I see, and then completely digest and innovate upon it in a very short time. My analytical speed is even faster than the celestial computer 'MoonCell' that Naruto Loran currently possesses."

At this moment, Hokage Loran interjected, "I think these three Great Sage Techniques are more suitable for machines than for humans. After all, the advantage of humans over machines lies in their abstract creative learning ability, but these three Great Sage Techniques have actually made up for this shortcoming. As long as the machine keeps repeating, it can quickly advance the research. You know, when it comes to the speed of repetition and iteration, flesh and blood life can't compare with cold machines."

"Once I integrate these three great magical arts into my 'MoonCell' celestial computer, it will likely become an incredibly terrifying computational monster; simulating the universe will be a reality."

Urban Loran, intrigued, put his arm around the shoulder of Cultivation World Loran: "Brother, from the memories you shared, it seems you believe this world has more than one system?"

Luo Lan from the cultivation world nodded: "Systems are sometimes like cockroaches. Based on the famous 'one cockroach in a house' theory, I suspect there are definitely quite a few systems lurking in this world. Just like your world, where protagonists appear in droves."

Urban Loran laughed heartily: "Since you want to find a system, why don't you learn from me? I'm quite an expert when it comes to fishing!"

Recalling the Bayonetta and Bayonetta who originally lured "protagonists" back on Earth, Urban Loran's smile grew even more unrestrained. This trick never failed; even in the interstellar cultivation era, Urban Loran often transformed into a master of baiting, using this method to lure out many hot-blooded righteous young heroes and wickedly arrogant young demonic masters.

Luo Lan from the cultivation world shook her head: "This trick might not work in my world. Your world is dominated by an urban style of showing off, where getting carried away with passion and getting slapped in the face are common occurrences. But in my world, Han Tianzun is prevalent and Li Gousheng is in power. They are all more cunning and more like old coins than the last."

Urban Loran shook his head, disagreeing with the views of the cultivation world Loran.

"The most important things in fishing are bait, line, rod, and patience. This is true in any world."

"The fish in your world simply hide deeper, have different diets, and require longer lines, stronger rods, different baits, and more patience!"

"Trust my experience as the Explosive Protection Ancestor!"

Urban Loran looked serious, seemingly very confident in his fishing experience.

Luo Lan, from the cultivation world, pondered this and decided to give it a try when she returned.

Even those who cultivate through robbery need to be skilled. Back in the day, on Earth, the great sage and saintly master Ramu dominated the robbery world and intimidated America Bank because of his iterative fighting methods and the creation of Ramu Technique. Unfortunately, fate was not on his side, leading to the master Ramu's narrow defeat!

Now, the cultivation world also needs a great sage and supreme teacher! Who can be worthy of such a great responsibility?

Breaking the monopoly of the immortal sects and the rampant rule of powerful families is Luo Lan's inescapable duty!

Chapter 159 Underworld Cultivation: Loran Technology

What is RAM technology?

In Loran's previous life on Earth, before the 1930s, America was a vibrant and thriving land where many heroes gathered in the new continent to celebrate their achievements.

However, although there were many heroes, they were scattered and disorganized, each going their own way based on their courage and determination. At that time, bank robbery was still a business dominated by local warlords.

However, ever since Hermann Ram, the unparalleled genius of robbery, crossed the ocean from Germany to America, the path of robbing banks has become standardized.

To circumvent his innate bad luck, Hermann Ram placed extreme importance on the words "planning" and "preparation," creating the Ram technique characterized by "short, quick, and efficient" tactics. Ram, who had served in the Prussian army, applied the knowledge he learned in the military to bank robberies, thus becoming a legend.

What lesson does this teach us? Preparation is key to success; lack of preparation leads to failure.

A robbery requires planning! It requires advisors!

After returning from the "Heaven of Freedom," Loran engaged in deep reflection. He felt that his previous path of cultivation had been too crude. Although it was far superior to that of the native cultivators, it still failed to satisfy Loran.

Right now, he's just a minor cultivator at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage. If he wants to challenge Nascent Soul Old Monsters or Divine Transformation Ancestors in the future, and if he wants to make the path of tribulation cultivation bigger and stronger, this current method of fighting must be iterated.

Drawing on numerous precedents, and especially referencing the excellent experience of the pioneer of the "Explosive Protection" series, Loran proposed "Loran Technology Version 1.0," which is tailored to the local context.

This technique involves many processes, including screening, baiting, fishing, segmentation, ambush, and rearguard action.

The so-called selection technique is actually used in conjunction with baiting. The "Explosive Catching Master" is right; although old tricks are rampant in this world, that doesn't mean his methods are useless.

To succeed, you need to change your bait! Baileypie male and female baits are not suitable for local characteristics.

This kind of low-grade bait is too ordinary; at best, it can only attract spoiled rich kids who can't control their lust and simple-minded fools.

However, in the world of Tongming Realm, cultivating immortality is the eternal theme. People pursue becoming powerful immortals through cultivation, mastering extraordinary power and boundless wisdom.

In the world of cultivation, everyone is like an unfathomable mystery; you can never know exactly how many trump cards someone else is hiding. This is precisely the real danger faced by those who undergo tribulation cultivation.

You might be fooled by a target that appears weak and easy to catch, like seeing a delicious lamb. But when you actually engage, the opponent will suddenly rip off the disguise and reveal the ferocious wolf within.

This is where the greatest danger lies for those who undergo tribulation!

Therefore, it's necessary to create opportunities and filter out those suitable for robbery to expose themselves. The most typical example is a single successful robbery or treasure hunt, which can largely reveal the perpetrator's true nature.

However, the fact that it could be seen through by such a simple method shows that the hidden skills were not deep enough. In order to enrich the methods of selection and nesting, Loran also created a spell called "Sheep Dividing Technique".

This "Sheep-Dividing Technique" is a spell developed based on the principles of the three great immortal techniques. It can be considered a derivative of the three great immortal techniques, and Loran calls it a "minor immortal technique".

First, data collection. As long as there is any secret contact with the other party, even if it is just a fleeting encounter, the other party's data can be firmly memorized. This is the "learning solidification" ability of the "Sun and Moon Bright Heaven Great Immortal Technique", which treats the other party as an object of study and research.

Then comes data analysis, which is the ability of "The Great Immortal Technique for Repairing Deficiencies the Next Day". It treats the modeling and analysis of the selected target as a learning process. As long as the analysis is continued, "The Great Immortal Technique for Repairing Deficiencies the Next Day" can automatically correct errors and continuously improve the model.

However, people change with time, and when it comes to actually fighting, the opponent will definitely have some changes in their state, and even the fighting environment will be different from what is expected. The "Fleeting Light and Shadow Immortal Technique" can make appropriate fine adjustments to the model based on these differences.

Starting from these three great immortal arts, Loran developed the first minor immortal art, "Sheep Dividing Technique." This minor immortal art is divided into five levels. Once mastered, Loran can create an analytical model for the enemy with just a glance.

To be honest, if any cultivator were to acquire Loran's "Sheep Splitting Technique," he could roam freely and become a legendary bandit. However, Loran felt that the process was still not perfect. The "Sheep Splitting Technique" was still a bit slow in searching for the intended target, lacking in efficiency and economy. Therefore, Loran developed a second minor magic, "Burying Technique."

The techniques of "nesting" and "separating sheep" complement each other.

Specifically, the "nesting technique" uses the analytical model of the "sheep-dividing technique" to build a massive database. This database contains a wealth of information about local cultivators, and through in-depth mining and analysis of this information, the "nesting technique" can identify some common characteristics among these cultivators.

However, simply finding commonalities is not enough; the "baiting technique" needs further analysis to determine the most suitable bait. After all, different monks may have different preferences for different baits.

However, it's important to note that even after such a complex analysis process, the resulting bait may not be entirely accurate. This is because big data analysis inevitably involves some individual sample bias, and the data collection process can also be contaminated by various noises.

To address this issue, "baiting techniques" employ a clever method—segmented feedback. It first throws out a variety of different baits and then carefully observes the target's reaction. Based on this feedback, "baiting techniques" can refine the model and database to more accurately reflect the actual situation.

By repeatedly performing this process and undergoing multiple rounds of training and calculations, the "baiting technique" can eventually analyze the most perfect bait, thereby increasing the success rate of attracting targets.

Fishing this way greatly reduces the chance of being pulled into the water by the fish, and you can attract a bunch of fish as soon as you throw the bait. It combines safety and economy, so Master no longer has to worry about me not being able to abduct cultivators.

The same "separation of sheep" and "nesting" techniques can also be used in combat against the enemy and in planning escape routes. They are not limited to the initial layout and are extremely flexible and versatile.

At the same time, this "Loran Technology Version 1.0" also includes many profound contents such as illusion, maze, geography, traps, and concealment, making it a supreme treasure in the world of cultivation.

Next, we'll put Loran's initial "Loran Technology Version 1.0" into practice. After all, practice makes perfect, and we need to put it to the test.

In Loran's view, this playing style is far from perfect and still has many loopholes that need to be addressed, but the first step must be taken.

As for who to rob? Of course, whoever has money. Robbing a bunch of poor, rogue cultivators would be a disgrace to the title of Robin Hood of the Loran cultivation world, the one who protects justice and enlightened the world.

Chapter 160 Underworld Cultivation: Plundering Like Fire, Unbeatable in Every Battle

Huixin Sect, a top sect in Qingyue Kingdom that has produced Nascent Soul True Monarchs, is a huge immortal sect group consisting of one mountain and thirty-six workshops.

The mountain in question is Luolong Mountain, the ancestral home of the Huixin Sect. Legend has it that a real dragon fell here, and since then, the mountain has been imbued with divine power, its dragon energy never dissipating and its spiritual energy abundant. The founder of the Huixin Sect, Venerable Huixin, valued this mountain and established his sect here.

Today, Luolong Mountain is filled with magnificent pavilions, towers, palaces, and temples, with carved beams and painted rafters, creating a truly ethereal atmosphere.

On the Nine Absolute Peaks of the Falling Dragon Mountain Range stands a towering building that reaches into the clouds—the Star-Picking Pavilion. This pavilion is the meeting place for many high-ranking members of the sect. Whenever there is a major event concerning the development and survival of the Huixin Sect, the sect leader will convene a meeting here and ring the Huixin Bell. All cultivators of the Huixin Sect at the level of inner sect elders or above must attend.

Today, the top floor of the Star-Picking Pavilion is filled with the top leaders of the Huixin Sect, including the sect master, deputy sect master, eight elders, and peak masters of each peak.

Among them, a middle-aged cultivator in blue robes stood up to report to his colleagues. He was the current peak master of Demon Extermination Peak, and was responsible for the external defense of the Huixin Sect, the protection of his disciples, and the security of the sect's external property.

A huge light and shadow map projected by a magical artifact was being spread out in the pavilion. The map was marked with a large number of red dots, each with some numbers on it.

“One hundred and thirty-seven days ago, my disciples of the Huixin Sect went to collect ‘protection tax’ from the various affiliated forces under my Huixin Sect, as was their annual custom. On their way back from collecting the tax from the Xiao Clan at Lingyue Lake, the disciples fell into a trap and instantly fell into a coma. When they woke up, all their property, along with the ‘protection tax’ they had collected, had disappeared.”

"One hundred and thirty-six days ago, the disciples who went to collect taxes from the three great immortal clans of Jilei Mountain, Liu Clan of Bajiao Ridge, and Li Clan of Xinghua Ridge also fell into a maze on their return journey. In a very short time, all their wealth, along with the 'protection tax' from the three great immortal clans, was stolen."

“One hundred and thirty-five days ago, the disciples who went to collect taxes from the Wu family of Langlang Mountain, the Wang family of Tianxuan Peak, the Qi family of Qinghe Valley, and the Luo family of Yinli Lake also encountered the above-mentioned robbery. Considering the lessons learned in the previous two days, this time three inner sect elders and the head of the nearby Pingkang Ward secretly accompanied them. However, the robbery was incredibly fast. Before the four accompanying elders and the head of the ward could even notice, the robbers had already slipped away, taking less than a quarter of an hour.”

"I thought the enemy would continue to plunder, so I personally led four elders, eight true disciples, and twenty inner disciples from my Demon Extermination Peak to provide support. However, the enemy disappeared for thirty-five days."

“When we let our guard down, a hundred days ago, the other party robbed the ‘Luolong Gold’ that Qingyufang was escorting to Luolong Mountain. Nearly 60% of Qingyufang’s income over the past five years was stolen, and even the deputy head of Qingyufang, who was personally in charge of escorting the team, was robbed of all his belongings.”

"Just as we rushed to Qingyufang to investigate, the other party made a move in Qiangweifang, which is a thousand miles away from Qingyufang. Not only were all the 'Falling Dragon Gold' stolen, but even the Nine Yuan Furnace, the treasure of Danfeng, was taken away!"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Upon hearing this, the sect leader of Huixin Sect, who was at the head of the sect, sensed something was amiss. The sect leader was a rugged-looking man with a thick beard, exuding great authority. He first stared at the Danfeng Peak Master, whose face was ashen, with his imposing gaze, and then looked at the Demon Extermination Peak Master, questioning him in a booming voice.

"The Fallen Dragon Gold was stolen, fine? But how did the Nine Yuan Furnace, the most precious treasure of Dan Peak, get stolen near the Rose Garden? Why am I, the sect leader, completely unaware of this? Huh? Dan Peak Master, what a mess you've made!"

The Demon Extermination Peak Master glanced at the Pill Peak Master, whose face had turned somewhat pale, and secretly rejoiced, thinking, "You old codger, you always cut back on our Demon Extermination Peak's pill quota."

"Reporting to the Sect Master," the Demon Extermination Peak Master showed no mercy to the Pill Peak Master, "the Nine Yuan Furnace was taken out of the sect in violation of regulations by Wenren Xuan, the Pill Peak Master's son and a true disciple of the Pill Peak. His Daoist partner is the daughter of the Rose Garden owner. At the time, he was abusing his power, using the Nine Yuan Furnace to refine pills for his father-in-law, Zhao Deliang, the Rose Garden owner. After refining the pills, he boarded the Rose Garden's flying boat escorting the Fallen Dragon Gold back to the sect, where he encountered bandits, which is why the Nine Yuan Furnace was stolen."

"The reason I am only reporting this now is because Peak Master Danfeng concealed this matter, and I only recently discovered their despicable behavior."

The sect leader of Huixin Sect had a gaze as sharp as lightning, which made the peak master of Danfeng tremble. He wanted to beg for mercy, but the sect leader rebuked him.

"Your matter will be put aside for now, and we'll deal with you after this meeting. Now, get your stupid son over here and kneel in front of the Star-Picking Pavilion. He's not allowed to get up without my order."

"Yes...yes...yes!" Peak Master Danfeng hurriedly used a communication talisman to send a telepathic message, telling his foolish son to get over here immediately and not to try to get away with anything. Peak Master Danfeng knew how terrifying his sect leader's methods were. Faced with such irrefutable evidence, there was no room for any attempt to plead guilty or escape punishment; only by obediently confessing would there be any possibility of a reduced sentence.

"Demon Extermination Peak Master, please continue." Seeing that the Dan Peak Master was quite efficient, the Huixin Sect Master's expression, which had been neither pleased nor angry, returned.

"Yes, Sect Master!"

"After the robbery of Rose Garden, the situation changed slightly. Because the bandits acted too swiftly and appeared and disappeared without leaving any valuable traces, we could not obtain any useful clues through divination. Therefore, I and the elders of Demon Extermination Peak devised a plan to lure the enemy out."

“We deliberately caused a commotion at the Rose Pavilion, making the enemy mistakenly believe that we were still there. In fact, our main force of the Demon Extermination Peak had already secretly used the Demon Extermination Peak’s supreme treasure, the Heavenly Origin Treasure Mirror, to teleport to the Qingxiao and Liuhuo Pavilions, which were escorting the Fallen Dragon Gold, and disguised themselves among the escort personnel.”

"As a result, the escort teams for these two districts did not encounter any problems, but the Rose District was robbed again. This time the bandits went even further, bypassing the complete blockade formation by some unknown method, and directly infiltrated the Rose District, looting the district's treasury clean."

"The Rose Garden Grand Array is the Black Dragon Locking Heaven Array, the top-tier third-order supreme array among the thirty-six gardens. Even a Core Formation True Person would not be able to break through its defenses. Yet, the array shows no signs of being breached. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch could not break through the array without any movement."

"We then realized that the enemy had actually played a trick on us. After stealing the Dragon Gold from the Rose Garden, he did not run away, but instead mingled in the market, which is why he succeeded. At the time, we thought that the enemy had walked right into our trap, so we rushed to the Rose Garden to prepare to completely capture him."

"Who would have thought that not long after we left, Qingxiao and Liuhuo's escort team was robbed again, and this time they even lost..." The Demon Extermination Peak Master couldn't continue.

The sect leader of Huixin Sect narrowed his eyes.

"Tell me, what exactly is lost?"

Just as the Demon Extermination Peak Master was about to reveal the truth, a cold, sharp voice suddenly came from outside the pavilion.

"Let me speak for him! Also lost is the top-grade spiritual medicine of a thousand years—the Nine-Star Ginseng King." A cultivator with white hair and a youthful face, dressed in a magnificent purple-gold Daoist robe, flew into the Star-Picking Pavilion.

The sect leader of Huixin Sect quickly stood up: "Uncle-Master Lü, what brings you here?"

"Hmph!" Elder Lü flicked his sleeve, giving the Huixin Sect Master a cold look. "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you, Gongsun Yan, actually govern the sect in this way? You even dare to deceive me, an elder!"

"If it weren't for Valley Master Sun of Qingyuan Valley informing me, I wouldn't have known that someone was so audacious as to intercept my exclusive spiritual medicine and even try to cover it up after losing it."

"That's a good idea, isn't it? There are two Nine-Star Ginseng Kings in total. The Nine-Star Profound True Qi they contain can help my Huixin Sect cultivate the 'Tai Xuan Hui Sword Technique' to the Great Perfection. Anyway, a Core Formation cultivator... no, a Core Formation cultivator needs too much Nine-Star Profound True Qi, and I'll be able to tell. It should be one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators. Let them absorb a little Nine-Star Profound True Qi, one for each of them. Not much, anyway, I've never seen the original plant, so I won't be able to find any clues, right?"

"For the safety of these two ginseng kings, I specially sent the peak master of Xuanming Peak, which was the closest to Qingyuan Valley at the time, to pick them up and drop them off."

"Peak Master of Xuanming Peak, can you tell me why the Ginseng King, which should have been delivered directly to me, was stolen by thieves in the escort team of Qingxiaofang?" Lu Taishang asked in a sarcastic tone, which, combined with the terrifying aura he exuded as a Nascent Soul cultivator, was extremely frightening.

The Xuanming Peak Master, dressed in white and exuding a cool and aloof aura, knelt down with a thud.

"Third Uncle, Yan'er knows she was wrong. Yan'er will never dare to do it again. Please give Yan'er another chance."

Empress Lü's face was icy: "You're quite the doting mother. For your good-for-nothing son with Master Qingxiao, you actually dared to touch my breakthrough elixir. And you didn't say a word after it was lost, expecting to find it again?"

Ignoring the trembling Xuanming Peak Master, Lu Taishang instead looked at the Demon Extermination Peak Master.

"Young Xi, stop listing the losses one by one and just tell me the total amount the sect has lost recently."

"Yes, Supreme Elder," the leader of Exorcising Demon Peak replied respectfully, bowing.

"Since the first crime committed by the unknown bandits 137 days ago, nearly nine markets have been ransacked, their treasure vaults and offerings stolen, along with the offerings of thirty-eight cultivation families. Our Huixin Sect has lost a total of 3,756,000 low-grade spirit stones, 968,000 mid-grade spirit stones, 184,000 high-grade spirit stones, and 3,769 top-grade spirit stones; 1,965 bottles of first-grade pills, 389 bottles of second-grade pills, and 49 bottles of third-grade pills." The contents included: 5,897 first-tier talismans, 423 second-tier talismans, 167 third-tier talismans, 5 fourth-tier talismans, and 15 talisman treasures, including three high-grade talisman treasures; countless spiritual herbs, including two Nine-Star Ginseng Kings, 15 Fire Dragon Lotus Seeds, and two Purple Gold Divine Dates; and incalculable quantities of magical artifacts and minerals, with at least several million catties of Crimson Yuan Copper alone lost, and even the Nine Yuan Furnace, a top-grade magical artifact from Dan Peak, was lost.

"In addition, many of the cultivation techniques and secret arts of my Huixin Sect have also been lost, especially the son of the Qingxiao Workshop owner, who was illegally carrying a jade slip containing a rubbing of the Qi Refining Chapter of my sect's Tai Xuan Hui Sword Technique, which was also stolen."

Upon hearing this, the peak master of Xuanming Peak trembled even more. This was it! How did her son get the jade slip containing the Qi Refining Chapter of the Tai Xuan Wisdom Sword Technique? Didn't she know? The sect's most treasured cultivation technique had been lost, and now the spiritual medicine her third uncle needed to break through his cultivation barrier had been lost too. This was a disaster!

Upon hearing about such massive losses, the high-ranking members of the sects present were all stunned. Good heavens! This was the loss of an entire Core Formation sect in just half a year. Just who was the other party?

"Have you found any useful clues?" Lu Tai asked coldly.

"Not yet," the Demon Extermination Peak Master said, forcing a smile.
