Chapter 759: There is a Devil Cultivator in the World
"Futianhui..."
Liu Wenyu was filled with shock, murmuring softly.
His eyes were fixed on the final disk above his head, and he even stretched out his hands involuntarily, wanting to touch it.
As a spy lurking in the Five Elders Council, he had been almost driven into a dead end by the Profound Heavenly Treasure Mirror, and he knew only too well how valuable this thing was.
"What is this?" Liu Wenyu couldn't help but ask.
"【Heaven-Covering Disc】." Xu Bai said calmly, and with a thought, the Disc of the End instantly vanished, leaving Liu Wenyu with nothing.
Liu Wenyu suddenly came to his senses.
Reluctantly taking his eyes off the Final Disc, he solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Daoyou, you must have something important to tell me."
Xu Bai snorted: "That's right. I'm here to call for justice!"
"Ah?" Liu Wenyu was stunned.
"Not long ago, a Hedao monk who was controlled by our organization through the [True Inducement] showed signs of losing control. Fortunately, we discovered it in time and took other measures before he successfully turned against us. This is how we stabilized him. Otherwise, our [Futian Society] would have suffered heavy losses this time." Xu Bai said in a bad tone.
"Didn't you say that the [True Temptation Fruit] was created by the Heavenly Lord and is guaranteed to be foolproof? How could there be such a flaw?"
"Stop talking big! No wonder you've been suppressed by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to this extent." Xu Bai glanced at the other party and said slowly.
"The real inducement fruit has failed?" Liu Wenyu looked shocked, but soon he shook his head repeatedly.
"This is absolutely impossible. As long as the Heavenly Venerable is still alive in the world, there will be no cultivator who can go against His power." Liu Wenyu said with certainty.
Xu Bai said in a deep voice: "But the loss of control of that person did happen. What happened?"
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist. Tell me what happened in detail."
So Xu Bai concealed the names of people and details of the incident, and made up an incident in which a Hedao monk wanted to rebel after realizing that he was being controlled.
Liu Wenyu thought for a while before replying, "Maybe, the way you used [Real Inducement] was wrong."
Xu Bai was furious: "So, it's our fault? We strictly followed your original instructions."
Liu Wenyu quickly explained: "The truth inducement can distort the monks' thinking, making them believe in even the most absurd things. But monks are not puppets after all. They have their own thoughts after all. If the lies they make up are too simple, when they realize that they contradict their own cognition, although they will not doubt it, they may re-verify it in various ways."
"For example, if a Hedao monk is instilled with the idea that 'he is actually a mortal who is powerless', he will certainly live his life in the way mortals do. But if, one day, he accidentally kills another Yuanying monk, the conflict between facts and cognition will force him to find the reason for the conflict. Find a reason that must be able to convince himself."
"Otherwise, the discrepancy between cognition and reality may cause the monk to fall into madness."
"For example, if you instill in him the idea of eternal loyalty through the [True Inducement], but if he notices it, he may have been influenced by something to develop this idea. Although he will still be loyal to you, the way he does it may be..."
“It’s a little extreme.”
Liu Wenyu paused for a moment, glanced at Xu Bai, and then continued: "He may think that the Xuanhuang Realm is full of dangers. If you are not strong enough but exposed, your life is likely to be in danger. So he thinks that you should be imprisoned in a dungeon and let you practice all the time. Until you have achieved success in your practice and reached the state of harmony with the Tao. After you have enough capital to travel around Xuanhuang, you should be released."
"Although it may seem a little twisted and unreasonable to others, in their minds, it is the most normal and natural thing."
"In our Five Elders Association, there was once a case where a loyal cultivator defected to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. He is still loyal to the Five Elders Association, but he believes that the strength of the Dharma Transmission Master is unpredictable and we cannot defeat him. If this continues, there is only one way to go, and that is defeat. Only by actively surrendering and facilitating a merger with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance can we have a glimmer of hope."
Liu Wenyu said helplessly: "He made a very convincing argument and even kept lobbying the members of our Five Elders Association."
"There are actually quite a few people like this. We call them [Devilish Cultivators]. They are the result of the incompleteness of the Heavenly Venerable's rebellion against reason, which conflicts with the overall Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm."
"Of course, if everyone could be like [Wuyou Tianzun], whose divine power spread throughout the Xuanhuang Realm, this kind of thing would not happen."
As Liu Wenyu explained, Xu Bai's expression gradually relaxed.
"When we first set up the lie, we tried to make it as complete as possible. Who would have thought that something like this would still happen..." Xu Bai snorted coldly.
Liu Wenyu was also somewhat helpless: "After all, he is a Hedao cultivator, so it is inevitable. If it were really that easy to control, wouldn't our Five Elders Association have been able to unify the Xuanhuang Realm long ago? How could we fall into this situation now."
"What should we do now? Such an important matter was not disclosed in advance during the transaction. It is impossible to let him go, and long-term house arrest will arouse suspicion. Could it be that they killed him and put the blame on you?" Xu Bai asked.
Liu Wenyu was startled and said repeatedly: "Don't be reckless, fellow Taoist. In my opinion, there is still a way to save it."
"One is to use the [True Inducement] on it again to repair the flaw."
"The second is..."
Liu Wenyu's expression became a little strange: "Take the initiative to reveal the truth in front of him. Then convince him and turn his [Magic] back."
"You might as well explain it more clearly." Xu Bai's face was a little gloomy.
Liu Wenyu lowered his voice and said, "Let's take the example of the cultivator who defected to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. He defected because he thought that our Five Elders Association was no match for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. If we can convince him with irrefutable evidence that the Five Elders Association is even stronger than the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, or that it can only compete with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, he will return to our Five Elders Association camp."
"After all, his belief in being loyal to the Five Elders has never changed."
Xu Bai instantly understood what the other party meant.
"Of course, if this [persuasion] process is combined with real inducements, the effect will be even greater," Liu Wenyu added.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I wonder if your Futian Society still needs the [Real Inducing Fruit]?" he asked.
