Chapter 100 Let the male protagonist open the back door
"Brother Nan, you have to believe in your own strength. Most of the talisman practitioners below the fifth level of Qi Refining are only at the entry level. With your talent, you should be able to win the championship!"
Zhong Wangsheng was quite emotional, and seemed to believe in Nanwang's ability even more than Nanwang himself.
An Nuo also chimed in: "That's right, you will definitely win! I will beat up anyone who dares to beat you!"
Nanwang waved his hands and said in a broad-minded way: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Clinging to fame and fortune will only lead to delusion. Whether or not you win the championship is not that important. If it really doesn't work, I can also think of a way to buy the method of making permanent talisman paper from the talisman practitioner who won the championship..."
Taking a step back, he doesn't necessarily need to know the production method. Is it possible that he can just buy the permanent talisman paper?
He is not the only one who needs permanent talisman paper. Maybe he can take this opportunity to turn permanent talisman paper into a long-term business.
Zhong Wangsheng said: "It seems that Brother Nan cares more about the permanent talisman paper than winning the championship."
Nan Wang said as a matter of course: "Of course, what's the point of winning the championship? Forget the false reputation. The talisman paper is definitely more important."
Zhong Wangsheng nodded and promised, "In that case, no matter what the final ranking is, I will try to get the permanent talisman paper for Brother Nan. However, I heard that the Heavenly Demon Sect attaches great importance to this competition and is preparing to give out a lot of treasures as ranking rewards. Among them, there should be a lot of things that Brother Nan needs. Brother Nan still has to prepare well and strive to get a ranking."
Nanwang agreed readily: "Okay, I am the 'distinguished guest' of the Heavenly Demon Cult, I certainly cannot bring shame to the Heavenly Demon Cult, so what is the Heavenly Demon Cult going to use as a reward? If you know, can you tell me the details?"
"I haven't heard anything about this yet. If I have any news, I will let you know as soon as possible."
Zhong Wangsheng hesitated for a while and asked:
"Brother Nan, you are so concerned about rewards. Is there anything you want?"
Nan Wang chuckled, he knew that Zhong Wangsheng was going to give him a back door.
What is the reward of the Demonic Cult? Isn’t it just a matter of a word from Zhong Wangsheng?
In that case, he won't be polite.
Nanwang rolled his eyes and said pointedly, "The upgrade mechanism of the Talisman Hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect is a bit rigid. According to the normal upgrade speed, it will take at least ten years for a new disciple to be promoted from a low-level school to a high-level school. This upgrade speed is really too slow, and it wastes the time of talented disciples. I personally think that those disciples who can get a place in the competition should be promoted as an exception."
Zhong Wangsheng said very cooperatively: "Brother Nan's words make a lot of sense. I believe that the leader and others will also consider such an obvious thing."
Nanwang nodded with satisfaction.
Very good, he has already seen the scene of himself being admitted to the advanced school as an exception.
Although he still couldn't figure out why Zhong Wangsheng had to hide his identity, he had to admit that Zhong Wangsheng's identity as a leader did bring him many benefits.
"Besides that, talisman practitioners are short of talisman-making materials. Since this is a magic talisman competition, we should naturally give some high-level talisman-making materials to the contestants. This will also increase everyone's enthusiasm for participating in the competition."
Zhong Wangsheng continued to cooperate with the performance: "Brother Nan is right."
An Nuo held his chin and said, "Have you guys finished talking? I'm hungry. What are we having for dinner?"
Nanwang said, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
An Nuo said: "I want to eat braised pig's trotters!"
Nan Wang said: "Why do you want to eat such greasy food? I just made you a roasted rabbit this afternoon..."
An Nuo said: "I want to eat!"
Seeing the two of them quickly entering a state of being alone, Zhong Wangsheng said, "I am relieved to see that Brother Nan is fine. I have an appointment today, so I will leave first. If Brother Nan has anything to do, you can send me a letter and I will come as soon as I see it."
There are so many things that need to be planned when organizing a big competition. Zhong Wangsheng finally got some time today to use Tong Yan's identity to arrange some work, but then he heard the news of Fu Tang's accident and had to rush back. Not only did he waste a lot of time going back and forth, but he also didn't finish the things at hand.
Nan Wang said: "Wait a minute, I heard something and I want to ask you."
Zhong Wangsheng said, "Brother Nan, please feel free to ask."
Nan Wang considered his words and said:
"I heard that because the secret of heaven was monopolized by Ye Qian, no one has ever successfully ascended to heaven in the past tens of millions of years, and no one will be able to do so in the future."
"Brother Nan, who told you that?!"
Zhong Wangsheng looked at Nanwang anxiously, his eyes full of fear:
"No one has ascended to heaven for thousands of years, that's because they don't have the qualifications! The resources and skills in this world far exceed the amount needed to ascend to the upper realms. As long as you practice well, you will definitely succeed!"
Zhong Wangsheng's reaction was different from what Nan Wang had imagined.
Nan thought that given the extent of Zhong Wangsheng's hatred for Ye Cuo, he would not miss any opportunity to ruin Ye Cuo's reputation.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Wangsheng didn't seem to care about Ye Cuo, but was more concerned about the matter of "no one ascending to heaven".
Nan Wang said in confusion: "With my current cultivation level, it's too early to think about ascending and breaking through the realm. I'm just curious about Ye Cuo... I was a casual cultivator before, and I hadn't heard of these rumors. I only knew that everyone seemed to hate Ye Cuo. Now that I think about it, is it because Ye Cuo took advantage of the heaven's secret and prevented others from ascending that everyone is criticizing him like this?"
Zhong Wangsheng smiled sarcastically: "It is true in the rumors, but... Ye Kuo is not worthy of possessing any secrets."
Anyway, he seemed to feel that his words were somewhat inconsistent with the character of "Zhong Wangsheng", so he hurriedly gave himself a patch:
"What I mean is, Ye Kuang is just an ordinary cultivator. How could he possess any heavenly secrets? If he really possessed heavenly secrets, how could he be trapped in this world for tens of thousands of years?"
Nan Wang said: "But I heard that Ye Kuang has lived for tens of thousands of years. If it weren't for him possessing the secret of heaven, his life span would have ended long ago."
Zhong Wangsheng shook his head and blurted out a shocking fact:
"Ye Kuang lived longer because he was not a human. It had nothing to do with the secrets of heaven."
"Ah?" Nan Wang was stunned: "Ye Kuo is not a human? That's impossible, how can I remember..."
He suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his sentence.
He did have the impression in his mind that "Ye Cuo was a human", but now that the topic was mentioned, when he thought carefully, he couldn't remember where he heard or saw it.
This memory seemed to be a concept imposed on him out of thin air. It had no beginning or end and no basis. It was just a bubble floating in the sea. Now that it had been punctured, its original appearance was suddenly revealed.
Yes, why did he never doubt that Ye Kuo was not a human?
Ye Kuo can control so many fairy beasts and rabbits, which doesn't seem like something an ordinary human cultivator can do.
However, no matter what the reason for the wrong cognition is, in this world of immortal cultivation, not being a human is not a big problem. There are many non-humans in the true teachings of Qingyun Sect.
Chu Songping is half immortal and half demon, Lingzhi is a living creature of flowers and trees, and Zhu Tianque actually has a half Buddha body, so he cannot be considered a pure human.
Nan Wang was just thinking about it when he heard Zhong Wangsheng's voice again -
"Ye Kuo is a demon, and the demon race has had a bad relationship with the human race since ancient times. In order to win the support of the people, he had to create the illusion that he is a human."
"So that's how it is..."
Nan Wang nodded to show his understanding.
If Ye Kuo is a demon, then it would make sense.
The demon race and the human race are in an irreconcilable relationship. If the people of Qingyun Sect knew that the Immortal Venerable was a demon, not only would the Immortal Venerable be embarrassed, but everyone would be embarrassed as well.
Zhong Wangsheng said: "Brother Nan, you must think that even if Ye is a demon, it is not a big deal."
Nanwang laughed sarcastically.
Zhong Wangsheng is right, that's exactly what he thinks.
After all, he is not a local and does not have such an intuitive understanding of the grievances between the demons and humans.
As an outsider who had read the original novel, he had fully understood the hatred of the demon race towards the human race. If he had not traveled through time himself, he could even accept the ending in the original novel where the demon race triumphed over the human race.
But things are different now.
Before he could sympathize with the demon race, he had to first keep himself alive and his fellow disciples in the Qingyun Sect alive.
If one of the human race and the demon race must pay a heavy price for competing for resources, he will definitely choose to stand on the side of the human race and the alien races that are willing to help the human race.
Ye Kuang was a demon, but for some unknown reason he helped the human race and even rose to the position of the leader of the righteous path. Most cultivators might not be able to accept this, but Nan Wang didn't care.
Because at least in the original work, the Immortal Venerable never did anything to let down the Qingyun Sect and the Immortal Sect from beginning to end. As the leader of the righteous path, the Immortal Venerable is undoubtedly qualified, and that is enough.
In the original novel, the hero stood on the side of the demon clan as a half-human, half-god. Didn’t the demon clan say anything?
Compared with stance and identity, the world of immortal cultivation pays more attention to strength. The strong can do whatever they want, while the weak only pursue an excuse.
That’s what he thought, but in front of Zhong Wangsheng, Nan Wang naturally couldn’t tell the truth.
He simply organized his words and lied without blushing:
"Of course I don't care about Ye Kuang's identity. I am a member of the Demon Sect. What does their affairs have to do with me? On the contrary, I think it is very interesting to let the Immortal Sect and the demon tribe fight each other. They fight each other, and we, the fishermen, benefit. That would be a wonderful thing!"
Zhong Wangsheng laughed in a strange way, as if he was amused by Nan Wang. But when he opened his mouth, his words were not as light as his laughter:
"Brother Nan, not all the decent sects are evil. It's just that Ye Kuo, only Ye Kuo, you must not, must not believe anything he says... Everything about Qingyun Sect, from beginning to end, is a - dirty lie."
Nanwang nodded, indicating that he understood very well:
"I know, don't worry, we who practice magic and those who practice immortality have been incompatible since ancient times! I will take the lead in the charge, carry forward the Heavenly Demon Sect, and overpower the Immortal Sect!"
Zhong Wangsheng: “…”
