In a dimly lit secret room.

After the head of Chunyang Sect and the Great Protector stared at each other in silence for a long time, the former gnashed his teeth and said, "What kind of professional power is that? Forcibly erasing memories and returning people to the time before they were exposed to information is a bit like hypnosis."

The Great Protector shook his head. "Hypnosis requires a medium. Remote hypnosis is unheard of. Moreover, the contents of the phone have been erased, which is something hypnosis cannot do."

After the first failure, the Great Protector placed his cell phone on the table and filmed the entire "interrogation" process, hoping to find clues from the video.

What’s even more shocking is that the phone didn’t capture anything, and the video content was erased along with the memory.

The Great Protector continued, "It doesn't matter what kind of power it is. What matters is that it is probably a high-level rule-based item or a cause-and-effect item. It is unreasonable... Why is the real identity of Yuanshi Tianzun kept so secret?"

"This is what he cannot understand the most. As far as I know, no demigod in the Spiritual Realm Walker Organization possesses a high-level causal item. If the power that interferes with our investigation into Yuanshi Tianzun's identity comes from a causal item... we may have discovered some terrible secret." said the Great Protector.

"It is still unknown whether it is a cause-and-effect item!" The head of Chunyang Sect was unwilling to believe that a mere Yuanshi Tianzun could be protected by a cause-and-effect item.

How can I be so worthy!

The Great Protector stood up and walked to the wide area in the center of the secret room, and sat down cross-legged: "I will report this to the leader."

…

Zhang Yuanqing pretended to listen attentively, "Tell me about it."

Hearing this, Xiahou Aotian showed a disdainful smile: "The old man is right, you are really trying to pua me and want me to work for you for free, but a scholar is never afraid of difficult problems." He first expressed that he had already seen through Yuanshi Tianzun's tricks.

"I just want to study it!" Then he said: "The method of rapid upgrade must first understand the upgrade mechanism of the Spiritual Realm Walker. Unlike the ancient people who practiced breathing spiritual power, the spiritual power of the Spiritual Realm Walker comes from the initiation of the character card."

"After completing the Spirit Realm Arrangement instance, you can get the chance to be initiating. So the role card is about how to infuse spiritual power into the Spirit Realm Walker's body."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "I don't think there is any technical content, it's just forced indoctrination."

Xiahou Aotian snapped his fingers: "That's right, in fact, there is no technical content at all, relying on the shameful resource monopoly. There is no spiritual power in the real world. All the spiritual power is in the spiritual realm. If the spiritual realm practitioners want to upgrade, they must obey the arrangements of the spiritual realm and go to dungeons regularly to complete tasks."

Xiahou Aotian said calmly: "Once you understand the core mechanism, it's very simple. Clearing dungeons is a means to gain empowerment, not the goal. Our goal is to research a method that does not rely on clearing dungeons to gain empowerment."

"How can I get the initiation without clearing the copy?" Zhang Yuanqing frowned.

"We are only masters, not administrators of the Spirit Realm. It is definitely impossible to use the Spirit Realm channel." Xiahou Aotian raised his chin, looked proud and confident, and said: "I looked up a lot of information yesterday and found a method from ancient documents."

"From the end of the Song Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, for more than three hundred years, spiritual energy was exhausted, the masters became legends, saints were rare in the world, and most practitioners stagnated in the extraordinary realm. In order to break through the realm and compete for the increasingly dwindling spiritual energy, our predecessors developed a cruel method of advancement."

Zhang Yuanqing was shocked and understood what Xiahou Aotian meant: "Your so-called method is to imitate the ancients and increase your spiritual power by eating humans?"

He thought, what the hell is this idea?

Xiahou Aotian snorted, "You may not succeed if you want to eat people. The methods of eating people recorded in the materials are limited to those below the level of Saints. Moreover, the sequelae are extremely serious. First of all, the external spiritual power is not compatible with one's own spiritual power. The fusion process is very painful, just like adding muddy water to a bucket of clear spring water. Even if they are finally fused together, the spiritual power will become turbid, and the quality will not be as good as that obtained through one's own hard practice."

"On the other hand, in the process of eating people, it is inevitable that the remaining soul of the target will be devoured. The more they eat, the worse their mental state will be. It is easy to have schizophrenia and become a madman."

The more you eat, the easier it is to go crazy? Indeed, compared to the state when he revived from the ancient tomb, the head of Chunyang Sect is getting crazier and crazier now. However, the method of cannibalism in his mind is limited to those below the Saints. But the head of Chunyang Sect ate the Overlord, which means that he controls a higher level of cannibalism... Zhang Yuanqing first thought of this nominal master.

He looked at the protagonist unhappily: "It's like saying nothing after talking for so long!"

"No, no, no!" Xiahou Tian shook his finger. "I have used the model to analyze it. It is very dangerous for others to use this method, but you are different. You have unique capital."

"You are a dual-class Sun Wanderer and Illusionist. The talents of these two classes are that one is naturally immune to negative states, and the other is an expert in controlling emotions."

"General mental pollution cannot threaten you at all. You can try things that others cannot try."

"Then, you need to learn the master-level method of cannibalism and improve it. It would be best if you can purify some of the pollution before devouring. In this regard, I suggest you ask the Sanda Mountain Goddess for advice. Didn't you say that she treats you like a son?"

Sect Leader Chunyang knows how to cook high-end ingredients. As Sect Leader Chunyang's disciple, it makes sense that she is better than her teacher.

Given the Queen's strong and upright character, if she knew that I wanted to eat people, she would probably kill me, her evil son, at the first opportunity!

No, evil disciple! Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

He thought carefully about the plan provided by Xiahou Aotian, and said: "The only Night Wanderers I can eat are the Dark Night Rose Field Guardians, but they are more cunning than rats in the gutter, so I need to wait for the right opportunity."

"Theoretically speaking, the Sun Wanderer in the dungeon is also your target."

Xiahou Aotian said: "Unfortunately, the gang dungeons you enter are not exclusive to Riyoushen, unless you join Taiyi Sect."

"The leader of Taiyi Sect is my competitor. The Merchants Guild and the Goddess of Beauty Association are unwilling to hand over the fragments of the Compass of Light because of me. Do you think Taiyi Sect will let me enter their gang copy?" Zhang Yuanqing said unhappily.

"Even if Taiyi Sect agrees, I don't dare to go. What if they kill me quietly in the dungeon?"

The layout is a bit small.

Xiahou Aotian hummed: "The protagonist is least afraid of competitors. Any competitor will make the protagonist stronger."

At this time, the old man in the ring sent out a mental wave: "I don't think your method is feasible."

Zhang Yuanqing and Xiahou Aotian both cast displeased glances.

"What's wrong with that?" Xiahou Aotian was unconvinced.

The old man in the ring asked: "Why haven't any spiritualists used similar methods? Or have you heard of anyone using similar methods or had similar cases?

Zhang Yuanqing and Xiahou Aotian were both stunned.

"Devouring other people's spiritual power to increase experience points is inhumane. If you are found out, you will be severely punished."

Zhang Yuanqing pondered, "Murder and arson are also against humanity. Are there not enough people in the lawful camp who do this?"

The old man in the ring was mentally stable and retorted: "Lawfulness does not mean kindness. This is what Xiahou Aotian often said. If there is a method that can quickly increase experience points without going to a dungeon, there will definitely be people who will take risks."

"I just said that this method will make people mentally ill. The consequences are too great." Xiahou Aotian said.

"What about the evil professions?" The old man in the ring asked back: "Evil professions are crazy to begin with, why would they be afraid of this?"

Zhang Yuanqing and Xiahou Aotian looked at each other and remained silent.

After a short silence, Zhang Yuanqing said: "Maybe someone has done it before, but failed, and this matter cannot be made public, so just pretend nothing happened."

Xiahou Aotian hesitated for a few seconds, "Why did it fail, old man, do you know?"

The old man in the ring laughed and said, "How should I know? I just overheard your conspiracy and pointed out the loopholes!"

Zhang Yuanqing, who was thinking, suddenly said, "Master Chunyang can restore his strength by calling for cannibalism."

Xiahou Aotian was a scholar after all, his eyes lit up and he understood: "Spiritual Realm practitioners have certain restrictions, so they cannot use the ancient method to eat people, but the head of Chunyang is not a spiritual realm practitioner, so he can do it."

My thoughts suddenly opened up.

What is the difference between the Master of Chunyang and the Spiritual Traveler? The answer is self-evident: "Character Card".

Therefore, it is the "Role Card" that restricts the cannibalistic behavior of the Spirit Realm Walker.

Xiahou Aotian stroked his chin and thought, "Spirit Realm should not have the concept of public order and morality. It is definitely not because the ancient method is cruel that Spirit Realm practitioners are prohibited from using this method. What is the reason? I understand. It is a problem with the matching mechanism."

"Our dungeons are matched based on experience points and hidden points. These data are recorded in the Spirit Realm through character cards. If the Spirit Realm walkers use ancient methods to increase their experience points, then the dungeons matched in the Spirit Realm will be unbalanced with the actual combat power, resulting in numerous bugs."

The problem is clear, but how to solve it?

Zhang Yuanqing and Xiahou Aotian fell silent again.

Zhang Yuanqing sighed and said, "At least the idea is right. How to hide it from the character card still needs to be discussed from Chang. There is no rush for this matter. Any great plan cannot be achieved overnight. Let's get ready and enter Shushan South as soon as dawn."

Zhang Yuanqing was not discouraged. At least he had mastered a method to quickly improve himself without having to clear any dungeons.

Although this method is still immature and full of difficulties, there are scholars who are good at it and can solve it.

Xiahou Aotian was reluctant: "It feels like a thankless task."

Zhang Yuanqing's face turned serious. "If you can develop a secret method that allows you to quickly level up without entering a dungeon, it will surely go down in history. All the current and future Spirit Realm walkers, whether they are evil or lawful, will remember your name, Xiahou Aotian."

"Don't, don't say anymore..." Xia Houzuotian's mouth twitched.

This was an irresistible temptation for him. This was Yuanshi Tianzun's conspiracy.

Zhang Yuanqing said seriously: "The meeting is over."

As the Great Protector took out the scroll of the spiritual seal array pattern, the already dim room became even more gloomy and depressing, and the desk lamp was stained with a layer of black.

A wisp of dark energy emerged from the Lingzhuan scroll and transformed into a figure with a blurred face.

leader!

The Great Protector immediately prostrated himself on the ground, and the head of the Pure Yang Sect also stood up and bowed to the Lord of the Moon.

"What's the matter!" Lingtuo's voice was like a 3D surround sound, overlapping and loud, echoing in the room.
