Chapter 144: The Immortal Cultivator

Just when hundreds of "hidden dragons" were deeply shocked by Li Yao's amazing performance, Li Yao also broke out in cold sweat and felt up and down.

He is taking his last exam in the Great Wilderness Battle Network.

What made him sweat coldly was not that the exam was too difficult, but that it was too simple!

The course he took was called "On Chivalrous".

It sounds like a kind of cliché that is full of clichés and is not appropriate. Slogans like "We are all famous and upright schools, and we must draw our swords to help us when we see injustice", "The blood of the strong must be shed for the weak", and "Evil demons and heretics can be punished" can be passed.

And it is indeed written in textbooks.

Even half of the exams were all the same, and they were all given points.

However, the passing rate of this course is only 32%!

"No, if you can pass it by just saying something bold, everyone should pass 100% No one will even say something like "seeing injustice and helping you", right? Why is there only a 32% pass rate?"

Li Yao replied, thinking happily.

Fortunately, there is still a lot of time left, so he can slowly think about the answer.

The person who presided over the exam of "On Chivalrous" was a middle-aged cultivator with sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, and was also formed by countless divine thoughts. At first glance, he was the most standard hero style, especially the ancient Taoist warm-hearted, and he had to kill three or five evil demons and heretics before going to bed every night.

He seemed very satisfied with Li Yao's previous answer, nodded repeatedly, and concluded: "Okay, okay, you said very well. The reason why we, the people in the righteous path, want to help the weak and maintain justice is precisely because we are chivalrous and passionate, right?"

Li Yao was about to nod, but his heart suddenly jumped wildly and blurted out: "This is just one!"

"oh?"

The "hero" was very surprised. "What about the second one?"

"The reason we want to eliminate the strong and help the weak, maintain justice, and even sacrifice our lives is because presiding over justice is good for us!"

Li Yao sorted out his thoughts and answered quickly.

"What are the benefits?" The hero asked after a flash of light in his eyes.

"What is justice? In my opinion, justice is social order and the law of civilization! And under the existing social order, we cultivators are all vested interests. After enjoying the greatest benefits brought by this order, we must maintain it!"

"Vested interests? Explain it!"

The hero curled his smile and had no expression on his face. He seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Li Yao's statement that he did not talk about good or evil, but only talked about interests.

Li Yao said something, and he had to fire the arrow on the string. He said with a stinging bullet:

"In the current social order in which the Starry Glory Federation operates, we cultivators are elites from all walks of life. Whether in reputation, status or income, they are much higher than ordinary people. Moreover, ordinary people respect us from the bottom of their hearts and desire to become cultivators. Throughout history, this is the most suitable social order for cultivators. No matter who wants to break this social order, we certainly cannot let him succeed. Instead, we must kill him as an evil demon heretic - this is justice!"

"In the ancient world of cultivation 40,000 years ago, we had the same status as high and respected, but we didn't hear that many ancient cultivators were chivalrous and sacrificed for the weak!" The hero sneered.

"No. The ordinary people in the ancient world of cultivation were just afraid of cultivators, but there was no respect at all. What's more, the cultivators in the ancient world of cultivation were far less comfortable than modern times!"

Li Yao mustered up the courage and said loudly, "Take me as an example, I am just a low-level cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage who has just entered the world of cultivation. If it were in ancient times, I would be called back and forth by high-level cultivators as a slave. Once I emerge or get treasures from heaven and earth, I must always be wary of others coming to kill people and grab treasures. And the peers are also intrigues. Everyone wants to climb up on the head of others. If you can stab you three times in the back, you will never stab you twice. In this kind of frightened days, you won't eat well, sleep deeply, and you can't even pull shit. What else can you do to practice?"

"It's different in modern times. Now civilization has progressed. In such a small Qi Refining Period, I can freely study the mysterious true self-rights in the highest academy of learning in the country. Even if I have obtained any extraordinary skills and talent, no one dares to blatantly kill people and seize treasures. Who dares to try it? It's an enemy of the entire federation!"

"In this environment, I can practice with confidence and boldness, and my efficiency will not only be a hundred times faster! It is of course good to be a high-level cultivator in the end. Even if I can't become a high-level cultivator, it's okay for my whole life to be a Qi refining period. After going out to society, I can still find a good job and live a happy life."

"You said, is the social order that can make me so free and comfortable is worth defending?"

The hero remained silent: "You said it right, but we can also divide society into two parts. Between the cultivators, we talk about morality, law, and justice. For ordinary people like ants, they should be exploited like slaves, forcing them to collect resources, create wealth, and enjoy them for us - this social order can also make you live a comfortable life without taking any responsibility, isn't it better?"

"No, not at all. Not to mention that the slave system and feudal system are inefficient and cannot adapt to advanced cultivation civilization, more importantly, we have one of the biggest competitors, demon cultivators! Ordinary people do not have to rely on cultivators. If they really force people to be impatient and use blood sacrifice to seduce the demons to come, thousands of people in the entire town will be demonized. Under the leadership of the demon, they will form a demon army that destroys the world. Not to mention a few cultivators, even a cultivation sect can still swallow them, and there will be no waste left!"

"Hehe, hehehe!"

When the hero heard this, he suddenly smiled grimly.

Then the light and shadows flashed around, turning into a gloomy and terrifying cave, and the hero also turned into an evil image of disheveled hair and a skeleton collar hanging around his neck.

"Since that's the case, let's just tear everyone apart and cultivate all demons! How good is the cultivation of demons, you can understand your thoughts, do whatever you want, and be at your best!"

Li Yao blinked and said, "A bun has been open for decades, and suddenly switched to sell wontons. Can it compete with the wonton shop next to you that has been passed down for a hundred years?"

The hero was stunned. The countless masters had no reaction to this strange problem in their condensation of spiritual thoughts. He said dumbly: "What?"

Li Yao explained:

"It is not impossible for us cultivators to transform into demon cultivators. However, the demons that have been practicing for hundreds of thousands of years have accumulated extremely rich experience. How can we compete with others when we are just starting to learn and practice?"

"It's like selling buns for decades. Seeing that the wonton shop next to you has a good business, I changed to learning to make wontons. Can this compete with others? What's more, the business of the wonton shop may not be good! After all, in the Three Thousand Worlds, cultivators are still the mainstream, and cultivators are just dogs of a devastated family!"

The hero pondered for a moment:

"You mean, if you don't draw a tiger, we cultivators are transformed into demon cultivators and the worst demon cultivators. We cannot compete with authentic demon cultivators and can only become the lowest level of the demon world?"

"This is for sure. Take you as an example. Do you think that your hair is disheveled, your neck is covered with a few skeletons, and then the light is dark, and you are the demon cultivator? How can you be that simple! The demon cultivator wants to seduce ordinary people. With your appearance as a ghost, which ordinary person will be tempted by you!"

Li Yao looked up and down at the hero and shook his head repeatedly, "The demon cultivators are just the name of these evil demons and heretics by us cultivators. People will definitely not regard themselves as 'demons'. I heard that some demon cultivators even call themselves 'immortal cultivators', and they are following the real immortal path. Even if they are really practicing evil techniques, their bodies are entangled and their images are ugly and ferocious. When they appear in front of ordinary people, they will transform into immortal style and radiant shapes, which is convenient for them to start!"

The hero is silent.

The candlelight in the depths of the cave swayed, dragging the shadows of the two very long.

Li Yao's heart was beating "bang".

What he said just now was a reaction on the spot. He recalled it and found many omissions.

If the examiner pursued him relentlessly, he would definitely not be able to withstand it.

After a moment, the surrounding environment changed again. They returned to the hill where the wind was light and the clouds were light and the air was fresh, and the hero also changed back to his righteous look.

"Congratulations, Li Yao, you... passed this course on "On Chivalrous"! You won 3 credits!"

Li Yao's heartbeat slowed down a beat, and then he was ecstatic. He wanted to go up and hug the hero and turn three times. He blurted out: "I, I really passed? Am I talking about the correct answer?"

The hero smiled and shook his head:

"No, everyone has a different understanding of the word chivalrous. The laws of cultivation civilization are even more mysterious. How can there be any correct answer?"

"Some of your statements are certainly bright, others are just making a point of reasoning."

"However, what you want to take in this course is not the correct answer, but depends on whether you have your own understanding of the word chivalrous. As long as you do not follow the script and tell some false and empty words, but can speak something and express your thoughts, you can pass it."

"It's a pity that too many students only know how to say nonsense like 'It's our duty to be a hero and righteous person' according to the dogma in the book, so they have to be wiped out."

"As for how to understand the word "chirtle" in real terms, how can you and me explain it clearly in one or two sentences? Fortunately, you have a lifetime to search, and hope that one day you can find your own answer."

"Come on, Li Yao!"

The illusion shattered and Li Yao retreated to the main interface of the Great Wilderness Battle Network.

Three golden diamond crystals whizzed from the sky and quickly penetrated into his body.

A crisp and pleasant female voice sounded in my mind:

"Freshman Li Yao passed the "On Chivalrous" exam and obtained 3 credits, with a total of 207 credits, ranking first in the freshman list..." (To be continued...)
