The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader had indeed practiced the Heaven Burning Blood Technique.
A few years ago, by chance, he had obtained the cultivation method of the Heaven Burning Blood Technique through a merchant. For the Sect Leader, who had been lingering at the checkpoint of the Ninth Xudan Stage for more than ten years, this was undoubtedly a blessing from the heavens.
Due to the incomplete core cultivation method, in theory, the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader could only reach the peak Foundation Establishment Stage. Once, he accidentally ate a high-rank spirit fruit, which instantly skyrocketed his magical power, and by chance, he managed to break through and condense his Xudan Stage. However, after that, his cultivation path was completely plunged into darkness.
Cultivating like a blind man groping an elephant, with his innate talent and perception, it was really difficult for him to go further. Thus, he thought of that high-rank spirit fruit. If he could take another one … Unfortunately, spirit fruit was hard to come by. With his lucky chance, being able to obtain one was already his previous life's blessing, but now...
Thus, he could only seek help from the Heaven Burning Blood Technique. This method of burning his lifespan in exchange for a massive amount of magical power was exactly the opportunity for him to break through.
However, when the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader made up his mind to burn his lifespan for ten years, he found out that although his magical power was a lot, it was far from enough for him to break through. Relying purely on the accumulation of magical power to advance his cultivation level, in a more artistic way, was to prove the Dao through strength. The difficulty was far beyond the Sect Leader's imagination. If he wanted to break through using the Heaven Burning Blood Technique, he would probably have to burn for a hundred years! This was really not a cost-effective deal...
"The Heaven Burning Blood Technique has never been used for people to slack off and take shortcuts. The Devil Sect's cultivator who invented this technique also tried all the hardships in the world, and only when his lifespan was about to run out, did he make a final gamble. In fact, most people have a serious misunderstanding about this technique. They only saw the superficial equation of the Heaven Burning Blood Technique: lifespan equals cultivation, but they ignored the true meaning of this technique. "
"True meaning?"
"Looking at the name, you should be able to see it. The Heaven Burning Blood Technique burns one's blood, not one's life. Heh, you want to ask what the difference is? It's very simple. When you indifferently calculate how much magical power one year of lifespan equals, you only burn your life. When you can completely ignore your lifespan and wholeheartedly focus on the Immortal Path, in order to go to the next level at all costs, what you burn is blood, hot blood. In other words, the Heaven Burning Blood Technique required the cultivator to at least have the dedication and fanaticism towards the Immortal Cultivation. Regardless of whether it's the White Moon Kingdom's Thousand Spirits Believers who only want to rely on their higher cultivation to bully men and tyrannize women, or a Seven Star Void Core like you who is uncertain about your future, they are both far from being able to do this. "
Regarding the history and characteristics of the Heaven Burning Blood Technique, the Sect Leader was far less knowledgeable than Wang Lu. At this time, he was just quietly listening, thinking about why Wang Lu was telling him these things.
"Because I feel that you need to consider this question. Since I am fully aware of the characteristics of the Heaven Burning Blood Technique, how could I possibly abuse this technique like the Thousand Spirit Sect?"
While they were talking, Wang Lu had already arrived in front of the Wang Family Village's school. Dirty old man He Yun's cadence voice came from inside, explaining the cultivation method. Although it was only some superficial basic skills, He Yun's explanation was very clear and well-organized, reflecting a very profound basic skill.
However, the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader knew that the old man was probably just reading from the book. The one who could really prepare these teaching materials was the young Wisdom Sect's Sect Leader who had only cultivated for three years … However, what was the point of letting him see these?
"Heh, you'll know when you see it." Then, Wang Lu pushed open the school's door. Inside the hall, dozens of villagers were quietly sitting like stone statues, listening to the dirty old man's lecture.
The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader was stunned for a moment, but the bigger shock was yet to come.
From the eyes of these villagers, he saw the fanaticism, which matched with their rock-like sitting posture, like the rolling lava in the depths of the earth … That was the extreme yearning and yearning for the Immortal Cultivation!
After watching for a while, Wang Lu withdrew from the school and asked with a smile, "Do you understand?"
The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader asked with a sinking voice, "Why?"
Why would a group of mortals who were doomed to be unable to cultivate the Immortal Cultivation be so enthusiastic about it? This … was completely incomprehensible.
"Because of ideals."
Wang Lu said, but he didn't hurry to explain what the villagers' ideals were. Instead, he turned around and asked, "Do you have any ideals?"
The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Lu to ask such a question; he didn't know what to say.
"You've been cultivating for a hundred years and established the Seven Stars Sect, don't you have your own purpose? According to you, with your cultivation, you can even go to the Wanxian League, so why are you trapped in a small Seven Stars Sect? Don't you have any ideas in your heart? "
Listening to Wang Lu's words, the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader suddenly had mixed feelings. Indeed, if it weren't for his own ideas, he would've gone to a big sect and obediently become their lackey for a few years. Naturally, there would be bones thrown at him, it was just that …
Wang Lu didn't leave too much time for the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader to be sentimental; he just smiled and said, "It's probably because of freedom and the like. Rather than being a lackey in a big sect, it's better to go out and work alone. That's how the Seven Stars Sect came into being. To be honest, if you really went to a big sect, with your qualifications, you might not necessarily have your current cultivation."
"Hehe." The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader dryly chuckled twice; inwardly, he had to admit that the other party's words were reasonable.
"That's why I said that it's good to have ideals. Because of ideals, you'll have a good cultivation and your own power. Even if you can't be compared to those brilliant big shots in the Immortal Cultivation World, it's still better than being unknown for a lifetime, right? However, your ideals are just that. "
While talking, a villager happened to pass by the roadside in a hurry. Wang Lu pulled him and straightforwardly asked, "Why do you cultivate to become an Immortal Cultivator?"
Because at this time, Wang Lu didn't show his real face, that villager didn't recognize him. When he was suddenly stopped by Wang Lu, he was surprised. However, when he saw Wen Bao, who was standing behind Wang Lu, he judged that the villager was a high-level member of the Wisdom Sect. After respectfully saluting him, he earnestly replied, "For the sublimation of the world!"
His voice was loud and clear, making people dumbfounded.
Wang Lu smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "You're worth teaching." Then he let him go.
Turning his head, although the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader marveled at that villager's generous answer, he was still confused after thinking about it. "The sublimation of the world?"
Thereupon, Wang Lu simply told him about his million forerunners theory. The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader was dumbfounded. "How, how could you come up with such a nonsensical theory?" Then he sneered and said, "So, in the end, the so-called ideals are nothing but a hoax."
Wang Lu asked with a smile, "It's indeed a hoax, but what's wrong with it? If the Nine Regions can really have a million ascendants, it's not a bad thing. But to let a group of muddle-headed ignorant people have a reliable ideal and enthusiasm for struggle, this is simply the greatest good. "
The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader said, "Flowery words! You just used a big lie to arouse the enthusiasm of the ignorant people, and then used the Heaven Burning Blood Technique to burn this enthusiasm, and finally … "
Speaking to this, the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader suddenly froze.
Wang Lu coldly continued, "In the end, I invested all my earnings into this group of ignorant people. In just three months, the Wang Family Village has been built to this state. Speaking of which, my initial investment is not a small amount, and so far, I haven't even gotten back a single spirit stone … So, what do you want to accuse me of? Am I too selfless? "
The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader was silent for a long time, and then he asked, "Why?"
Wang Lu asked back, "Why don't you guess?"
"... When these villagers find out the truth, they will hate you to death."
Wang Lu laughed and said, "What a joke, you're a Xudan Stage cultivator, how could you be so ignorant about cultivation? This Heaven Burning Blood Technique burns one's innate lifespan, how could a cultivator not be aware of it? Now, you go and ask those villagers, see if they know the truth! "
"For an illusory ideal, they don't even want their lives?"
"Hahaha, of course, relying on ideals alone is not enough, but the change in the Wang Family Village is real, and their cultivation results are not fake. Although it's just a trivial step on the Immortal Cultivation Path, in the end, they still set foot on the Immortal Cultivation Path. For this group of ignorant people, it's enough for them to be excited."
Speaking to this, Wang Lu laughed again. "Speaking of which, it's interesting. Two days ago, a group of mountain bandits came to the vicinity of the Wang Family Village, wanting to take advantage of the situation. As a result, three Qi Cultivating Stage villagers used sickles and wooden sticks to knock down more than ten of them, forcing them to flee in distress … This is simply the morale that comes knocking on the door."
With that, Wang Lu turned around. "You have a general understanding of the Wisdom Sect's situation. Now, have you changed your mind?"
The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader bitterly said, "You … still want me to join the Wisdom Sect?"
Wang Lu said, "Yes, this time, it's still a formal invitation. Although this sect has not been established for a long time, as long as you're not blind, you should be able to see the Wisdom Sect's development prospects."
The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader asked, "Why me? With your background, you can easily find a large number of excellent followers, even if it's the Wanxian League … "
Wang Lu said, "I'm not interested in cultivators from the Wanxian League. Currently, the Wisdom Sect doesn't need those pampered, high-end talents with eyes on the top of their heads. A grassroots loser like your Seven Stars Sect is just right for them. And an elite grassroots like you is even rarer. Although your aptitude and perception are only mediocre, to be able to cultivate to the Xudan Stage and create your own Seven Stars Sword Art … you can be considered as a character. "
Being evaluated by a young Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator in an old-fashioned way, the Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Blindly relying on external forces for a sect's development is not feasible. Throwing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, and then spending a lot of money to hire a group of cultivators to be arrogant and then respectful, it may look like it has infinite glory, but when the spirit stones are squandered, the sect will vanish into thin air. In contrast, your Seven Stars Sect, who are good at struggling at the bottom of the Immortal Cultivation World, is more suitable for the initial stage of the Wisdom Sect. As for you, whether you want to continue to be trapped on a barren mountain or start a new Immortal Cultivation Method here, I think it's not a difficult choice. "
Speaking to this, Wang Lu's voice turned cold. "Perhaps for you, the Sect Leader, there's a dilemma, but for the other people in the Seven Stars Sect, there's no such problem. Moreover, you've been the Sect Leader for a long time. Ask yourself, is the so-called freedom that you yearn for really in your hands? "
The Seven Stars Sect's Sect Leader was silent for a long time.
"Give me a day."
"Okay, I gave it to you yesterday, now can you give me an answer?"
"…"
