Li Yao knew that Long Yangjun was partly telling everybody that the Federation would not accept them unconditionally and that they would have to make certain contributions and changes if they wanted to join the Federation.
But on the other hand, she was also reminding him that the twelve experts of the Ancient Sages Sector, and even the entire Ancient Sages Sector, were not tools that he could manipulate without independent will and thoughts at his will.
There was still a long way to go before the two parties were truly melded.
But at the very least, the experts of the Ancient Sages Sector did not object to joining the Federation in principle. What was left were the details and the technical issues. They had finally made a big step forward.
The question could not be answered in a short time. Everybody discussed for a while and decided to keep quiet. The other experts continued talking and describing what they had seen and heard.
Iron Saint Qi Zhongdao, the 'leader' of the Cultivators in the central plateaus of the Ancient Sages Sector, was a man of integrity who liked to abide by rules most of all.
Therefore, he had specially gone to observe the 'rules' of the Xing Yao Federation, or rather, the laws of the Federation, especially how the 'Constitution of Cultivators' was practiced.
Through Cui Lingfeng, Li Yao helped Qi Zhongdao arrange a great case that shocked the entire Uranian Ring Sector. He was qualified to attend the trial and allowed to get in touch with all the files of the case.
Qi Zhongdao did gain a lot from the trip.
"Today, I attended a great trial that shocked the entire federation. The plaintiff was a common family of civilians, but the defendant was a high-level Cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation Stage. He was the leader of the 'Dragon Chasing Sect' in the Uranian Ring Sector, a prestigious, wealthy, and powerful local organization. His crime was' illegal possession '!"
Scratching his long beard, Qi Zhongdao was deep in thought. "The case did not seem complicated at the beginning. The family of 'Zhang', an ordinary citizen, had a son and a daughter. It was a pity that when the youngest son was born sixteen years ago, it was still the post-war era of the Uranian Ring Sector. The living conditions were rather shabby, and there were not enough medical facilities. They did not pay enough attention to the case, either. Therefore, they failed to find out that the youngest son was … in the jargon of the federation, an ignorant fool!
"The child was seriously retarded. After he was sixteen years old, his intelligence was still no higher than that of a five-year-old child.
"Even so, his parents loved him and did not abandon him. They still raised him well and even took him to the market every few days to relieve his boredom and broaden his horizons.
"But this time, they ran into a traffic accident when they were taking a walk in the market. After two shuttles collided, one of them brushed the fool and knocked him away. He was heavily wounded and dying.
"This idiot was already on his deathbed when he was in the ambulance. It was said that his heartbeat and brainwaves had stopped for a long time. This was witnessed by the doctors, nurses, and his parents.
"But ten minutes later, at the moment he was sent to the hospital, he miraculously woke up again!
"The parents of the Federation of Cultivators were not happy for long before they discovered that the Federation of Cultivators was greatly different from the past. He was like a completely different person now.
"The Federation of Cultivators did not keep it a secret. He told them, as well as the doctors and the secret police, that he was not the Federation of Cultivators himself but the leader of the Dragon Chasing Sect. He had possessed the 'corpse' that was theoretically dead, and he had been reborn!
"As it turned out, the leader of the Dragon Chasing Sect, a high-level Cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation Stage, was trying to break into the Yuanying state with a very dangerous secret art. Unfortunately, he failed and was even mentally deranged by the secret art. He perished on the spot!
"According to him, he perished, but part of his soul did not perish. It drifted unpredictably on the street and happened to run into the ambulance that was carrying the Federation of Cultivators by accident.
"The Federation of Cultivators was born with an incomplete soul. He was the best 'container' for the foreign soul.
"The Federation of Cultivators suffered a serious car accident. His breathing and heartbeat stopped, and his brainwaves were completely gone. Even his incomplete soul was gone. According to the testimony of the most authoritative medical experts of the Federation, the odds of survival at that time were very slim. Even if he was saved, he would have been a vegetable.
"In the words of the Cultivators, the Federation of Cultivators, the Federation of Cultivators' body had become an empty 'skin bag' that did not have an owner.
"When the remaining soul of the leader of the Dragon Chasing Sect saw that the body was' empty ', driven by his survival instincts, he crawled into it and became the new owner of the body. He possessed it and was reborn!
"It was not a big deal that he possessed the body and was reborn, but the birth parents of the Federation of Cultivators certainly could not stand it. The Secret Sword Agents of the Secret Sword Bureau who were responsible for the crimes of the Cultivators arrested the leader of the Dragon Chasing Sect who was wearing the body of the Federation of Cultivators on the spot and sent him to the authorities. He was accused of 'illegal possession' by the parents!
"Fellow Cultivators, in your opinion, is the crime tenable? Is the leader of the Dragon Chasing Sect right or wrong?"
The case involved a lot of powerful people, and it was rather complicated. Recently, heated discussions were being raised in the Uranian Ring Sector and even among the people of the Federation. The 'ancient Cultivators' from the Ancient Sages Sector were deeply attracted by the case, too. They were all talking at once.
Han Baling chuckled and said, "Illegal possession? Interesting. Is it possible that possession is a crime in the Xing Yao Federation? Or rather, is there any such thing as' legal possession '? "
"There is."
Qi Zhongdao nodded and said solemnly, "According to my research, there is indeed such a thing as' legal possession 'in the Federation. It is a voluntary authorization letter signed by some' body donors', in which they agree that their bodies will be donated to the country after they die. Some of them will be used for the students of the medical college to practice their skills, some of them will be transplanted, and some of them will be possessed by the experts who have perished.
"If the experts of the Xing Yao Federation are scared of death and want to take a gamble, there are only two options. One is to prepare a few well-made, powerful 'artificial bodies', like Senior Meng and Senior Wu, and turn them into spectral Cultivators after they die.
"The other is to register in advance, line up, or draw numbers, and apply for an 'artificial body'.
"However, the success rate of possession of such bodies is multiple times lower than that of turning into a spectral Cultivator. Should it fail, it is very possible that the remaining soul will be wounded, and the chances of turning into a spectral Cultivator will be gone.
"Furthermore, bodies are very precious resources. Most of them are used for organ transplants and for the teaching of the medical college. Only when the body donors propose, request, and confirm multiple times when they are still alive will they enter the procedure of 'possession' and 'rebirth'.
"There are too many monks and too few gruel. As time goes by, few experts are willing to gamble on their luck by 'legal possession'. Most of them are still trying to condense their soul and increase the odds of turning into spectral Cultivators so that they can live another one or two hundred years as a spectral Cultivator. It will be more appropriate!"
"Is that so?"
Although 'Mother White Lotus' Wan Mingzhu was a spectral Cultivator, she was adept at manipulating puppets and creating zombie kings. Possession was not a problem for her at all. "You have to line up and draw numbers if you want to possess a body and be reborn? What — what kind of law is that? Isn't there a black market that can't be bought with money? "
Qi Zhongdao shook his head and said, "No. The issue concerns ethics and ethics. It is the foundation of the Federation and cannot be shaken. Therefore, the way of power and money is strictly forbidden. Neither the donor nor the recipient can know who the other party is in advance. The existence of the 'black market of rebirth' is also severely punished. As for the crime of 'illegal possession', it is one of the most serious crimes in the Federation's law. Once convicted, most of the criminals will be executed!"
"Amitabha."
Master Bitter Cicada sighed and said, "The laws of the Xing Yao Federation have been formulated in such a way to protect the rights and interests of the weak. It is quite a thoughtful decision. However, in this case, it is a different matter. The 'Master Zhang' was killed in a car accident when he was in the ambulance. The dead cannot be brought back to life. All that is left is his skin.
"The leader of the Dragon Chasing Sect, on the other hand, was mentally deranged and unfortunately perished, turning into an ignorant, broken soul. Nobody knew how much wisdom he had left. Driven by his survival instinct, he crawled into an empty body and lived there temporarily. It seemed to be something that could not be helped, either!"
"The monk is right."
Ba Xiaoyu the Beggar said. "Law is nothing more than human feelings. This was a double accident. We ran into each other by coincidence. Now that he has come back to life, we can't kill such a big leader, can we? If we kill the Dragon Chasing Sect's Sect Master, the original idiot won't be able to come back to life. Why bother? "
"I thought that the point was whether or not the idiot was confirmed to be dead in the ambulance."
Qi Changsheng did not think it was a big deal. "If he is really dead, how can a dead person be more important than a living person? If he is dead, he is just a piece of stinky meat. You can eat him or possess him to be reborn. But what's the big deal about recycling garbage? "
The Yuanying expert had done a lot of lawless things for survival in the era of the 'Heaven Battering Army'. He had no qualms about making use of dead bodies at all.
"If you ask me, it is a blessing in disguise," Qi Changsheng said with a smile.
Qi Changsheng said with a smile, "No one would want a fool to get into a traffic accident. But he's already dead. Whether he was possessed or not, the result is the same.
"But right now, the body of the idiot has revived a Cultivator at the peak of the Core Formation Stage. There are only about a thousand Yuanying experts in the seven Sectors of the Federation. The experts at the peak of the Core Formation Stage rank one or two thousand in the Federation. On average, they should be in the top five hundred of the Uranian Ring Sector, right?
"An expert in the top five hundred has been revived by the body of the idiot and can continue making contributions to this Sector and the entire Federation. Isn't it good?
"Also, although he has nothing to do with the Zhang couple, the parents of the idiot, he did occupy their son's body after all. Therefore, he should give them a lot of benefits and make sure that they are properly settled. It is not too much to ask that he take care of them when they are old, right?
"The Zhang couple lost their idiot son, but they received more financial compensation than they could earn in ten lifetimes. Their son, on the other hand, was still alive in this world in a different way.
"They were certainly not happy about it, but there was no need to pester and let their son's body die again.
