Wen Zhixuan stared intently and explained in a calm voice, "Did you see the incantation on that golden pillar? That is the Sanskrit script of the Great Dao. Anyone whose Dao heart is not pure will have their inner core bound when they encounter this Sanskrit script, lose their spiritual power, suffer a splitting headache, and feel a piercing, bone-deep pain."
Jiang Zhixu gasped.
While mortals could not see what was happening inside the golden light, Wen Zhixuan could see it clearly.
Master Bihai knelt on the ground, one hand covering his head and the other clutching his chest, howling in agony.
Jiang Shumiao's cold voice rang out, "Your Golden Core is flawed, your demonic energy hasn't dissipated, and your aura is chaotic. It seems you not only kill demons to obtain their cores, but also kill fellow cultivators and absorb their cultivation. You deserve to die!"
Everyone felt a bright golden light, so intense that it blinded them, before the light faded away.
The Azure Sea Immortal lay on the ground, his hair all white, his face lined with deep wrinkles, no longer possessing the dignified and otherworldly air he had just displayed.
Emperor Hongde had already stood up, staring in shock at the scene.
A red bead lay in Jiang Shumiao's hand, its light dazzling.
That was the golden core she had just taken directly from Bihai Zhenren's dantian.
Wen Zhixuan's eyelids twitched.
Although he had witnessed Jiang Shumiao's abilities before, this was the first time he had seen her so cold and intimidating.
That is, Divine Might.
It instills in people an involuntary fear and submission.
Having lost his golden elixir, Master Bihai could no longer maintain his youthful appearance; his white hair and wrinkled skin even looked somewhat terrifying.
The courtiers had already instinctively retreated, holding their breath in silence.
Jiang Shumiao stood in front of him, her eyes cold, no longer displaying the innocence of a child.
"Fifteen thousand years ago, the Immortal Realm was established. Those who enter the Immortal Sect must strictly abide by the Immortal Rules. Do you still remember?"
Master Bihai stared at her in horror, "You...who exactly are you?"
"I'm asking you."
Jiang Shumiao spoke each word with deafening force, "Do you still remember the sect's immortal rules?"
Master Bihai felt his soul surging and his whole body ached. He hurriedly said, "I remember, I remember. All those who enter the immortal sect must eliminate demons and take saving all living beings as their mission. They must be loyal to Heaven and Earth, respect their teachers and elders, be harmonious with their fellow disciples, distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong, not harbor any jealous or evil thoughts, and cultivate benevolence and righteousness. This path will never decline, and our original intention will never change."
Jiang Shumiao said coldly, "Then what have you done?"
The Azure Sea Immortal, now devoid of any arrogance, trembled and begged for mercy, "This humble immortal knows his mistake, please spare my life, High God, this humble immortal will never dare to do it again..."
Jiang Shumiao remained unmoved.
"To kill fellow disciples and steal their inner cores to enhance one's cultivation is theft and evil. Cultivators have become evil spirits, and the immortal sects have become demonic realms. Is this the doctrine of Penglai?" Jiang Shumiao's words were as cold as ice, her aura sharp and fierce. "I have long heard that the immortal sects are now corrupt, using old grudges from ten thousand years ago as weapons to harm demons and spirits. You have forgotten good and evil, right and wrong, and only racial discrimination remains. Those with prejudiced hearts will find it difficult to achieve the Great Dao, even if they cultivate for thousands or tens of thousands of years."
She clenched her fingers, and the golden core shattered instantly.
