Chapter 498 Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey (Part Two)
Ning Fengzhi also extracted key information from Chen Chen's words and understood that if they continued to be stubborn and ignorant, becoming puppets would be the best outcome for their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
Ning Fengzhi felt a chill run down his spine at the Ice Palace's actions. However, he also harbored a sliver of hope, thinking that there must be some restrictions on the Ice Palace's transformation of puppets. But just then, Chen Chen spoke up, "Come with me!"
After saying that, Chen Chen left on his own, not caring whether Ning Fengzhi followed or not. Ning Fengzhi was very curious about Chen Chen's next move, so he followed closely behind and arrived at the dungeon of the Ice Palace!
Upon arriving at the Ice Palace dungeon, Ning Fengzhi saw clergy purifying the prisoners. From the aura emanating from these prisoners, Ning Fengzhi could easily tell that they were all vicious and ruthless evil soul masters from the Douluo Continent, deserving of everyone's wrath!
With the continuous purification by the clergy, this evil spirit master quickly became a devout believer! If it weren't for the faint smell of blood, Ning Fengzhi might have thought that this evil spirit master was actually a law-abiding citizen!
Just as Ning Fengzhi was frightened by the Ice Palace's actions, he heard Chen Chen speak in a low voice: "Although this secret technique has a loophole, only able to turn those weaker than oneself into puppets, with the strength of our Ice Palace, turning all of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into puppets and continuing our plan would be a piece of cake!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but think of the god-level powerhouse he had once encountered. Originally, Ning Fengzhi thought that although their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had no power to fight back when facing god-level powerhouses, they would still be able to escape with some of their members.
But who would have thought that the Ice Palace could directly distort other people's thoughts? Once the captured high-ranking members are converted, those lucky ones who escaped will be captured by the Ice Palace sooner or later unless they are willing to give up the hidden wealth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and live in anonymity!
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but feel a bitter smile on his lips, and asked with a hint of despair, "Does our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have no other choice?"
"No! Sect Master Ning, if it weren't for the fact that those converted believers couldn't provide our Lord with the power of faith and could only be used as disposable cannon fodder, then given what your sect has done, it would have been completely converted by our Ice Palace long ago!"
"The power of faith? Elder Nightmare, does that mean gods increase their strength through the power of faith?"
Chen Chen didn't hesitate much when Sword Douluo asked the question and answered directly: "Sword Douluo, do you know that over the years, heroes and great men have come in droves, but in the end only Angel God, Rakshasa God, and Sea God have ascended to godhood?"
Sword Douluo's family has a long history of martial arts, and their ancestors also produced Limit Douluo. However, after breaking through to level 99, they found it difficult to advance further and break through to level 100!
"I don't know!"
"The reason is actually very simple. The cultivation system on Douluo Continent is flawed. It was created by the gods of the God Realm to incite conflict between humans and soul beasts! You must understand that in other worlds, apart from external forces that increase the chances of breaking free from shackles, the rest of the time spent cultivating depends on oneself!"
However, the system on Douluo Continent breaks free from constraints by plundering the power of soul beasts! While the power of soul beasts can directly help soul masters break free from constraints, in the process, the soul master's power will also be corrupted by the power of the soul beasts!
The impurity of their power, coupled with the Soul Master's complete lack of experience in breaking free from shackles, naturally leads to increasing fatigue as cultivation progresses! Especially after level 95, the shackles become increasingly difficult to overcome! After level 99, unless one uses external forces like the power of faith to cleanse their power, breaking through to level 100 is virtually impossible!
"Thank you for your explanation, Elder Nightmare!" Sword Douluo said respectfully.
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then asked with some eagerness, "Your Majesty Nightmare, I wonder if collecting faith privately could achieve the effect of cleansing our own power?"
