It was hard to imagine just how much of a genius the arrogant old man Yu Beidou regarded as a peerless genius was.
They only knew that this person had indeed found a way to break out of the path of Fate Divination, but it had caused their lineage's greatest mistake …
They had probably divined countless times about the path of Fate Divination.
Those who refused to face the result had walked down the wrong path.
So could they really only accept the result of their "fate"?
"What's the difference between Blood Divination and Fate Divination?" Jiang Wang asked.
Yu Beidou said, "If fate is a long river. Fate Divination is to jump out of the water and observe the flow of the river from the shore, spying on the life and death of every fish in it.
On the other hand, Blood Divination is based on the connection between every fish and the river of fate. By killing a fish, one can use the ripples it creates in the river of fate to observe the river of fate for a short period of time.
From a certain perspective, Blood Divination is a branch of Fate Divination.
The biggest difference is that Fate Divination uses one's own body to observe the river of fate, while Blood Divination uses a person's life as the will of heaven. "
Yu Beidou's explanation was simple and clear. He clearly explained the similarities and differences between Fate Divination and Blood Divination.
"Teaching the Dao" was a manifestation of one's ability. To be able to explain this level of Dao path so clearly, it was enough to show his strength and foundation. He was someone who could truly pass down Dao teachings and establish a sect.
Unfortunately, Fate Divination was no longer passed down …
"Can we understand it this way …" Jiang Wang said, "Cultivating Fate Divination, the stronger one's cultivation is, the longer one can leave the 'water' and observe the river of fate for a longer period of time. Cultivating Blood Divination, the stronger one's cultivation is, the larger the ripples created for every fish killed. Thus, one can see more changes in the river of fate. "
Yu Beidou nodded, "Exactly."
"Fate Divination is the diviner's own risk, while Blood Divination uses the lives of others to create ripples." Jiang Wang said, "In that case … it's indeed an evil technique."
"From a certain perspective, he has indeed opened up a new world for Fate Divination." Yu Beidou said, "The process of jumping out of the river of fate is dangerous. You've already experienced it.
This was because a fish could not leave the water. Life was a part of fate. Leaving the river of fate was a risk in itself.
Almost every generation, there would be a successor of the Fate Divination Technique who would never return after leaping out of the River of Fate. As for the Blood Divination technique, it completely shifted this danger away … to the Diviner, this was of course a good thing. But to the human race, it's a poison sac. "
Jiang Wang listened quietly.
"My senior apprentice-brother said that the Fortune Teller is the forerunner, so of course, he shouldn't be sacrificed. There were always people who were willing to sacrifice and should sacrifice themselves. But humans, once they have the thought of sacrificing others, their roots will rot … "
Yu Beidou said, "In the beginning, he would pay a suitable price for those who were willing to die. Later on, he went to catch people who deserved to die and used sinner's blood to perform divination. But who deserved to die and who didn't? How could there be a fair answer? The standard of 'deserve to die' kept changing and lowering … Later on, when there was an emergency, he would just grab a random person … "
"Who to sacrifice and how to sacrifice will all be decided by the diviner. Once this Blood Seizing Technique was passed down, it would be extremely poisonous. Even with my Senior Brother's strength and temperament, he is unable to control himself. What can the other people in the world do? Some cages, once opened, can never be closed again … "
Jiang Wang could completely understand these words, because his hometown, Maplewood City, was sacrificed in this way …
Compared to the Blood Seizing Technique, Maplewood City was the fish that was killed.
When Zhuang Gaoxian sacrificed Maplewood City, he also used the future of Zhuang Country as an excuse.
Sacrificing oneself was a kind of greatness, but sacrificing others was a kind of crime, no matter how dignified the reason was.
"Of all the evil techniques in the world, there is nothing more evil than Blood Seizing." Jiang Wang said, "Your senior apprentice-brother has already been bedeviled."
"I completely believe that in the beginning, he only wanted to break the Life Seizing Technique's path. He just didn't want the glorious history to come to an end, and he didn't want our efforts to be just a bubble in the end.
But he forgot. When the Life Seizing Technique was first created, it was to help the human race.
In order to enlighten the human race's future, the Life Seizing Technique was created.
It wasn't to force others to sacrifice themselves from the beginning. Killing people in order to find a way forward, this kind of Blood Seizing Technique is fundamentally wrong. "
Yu Beidou said, "He cultivated the Life Seizing Technique for three hundred years, but after creating the Blood Seizing Technique, it only took him three years to go from treading on thin ice to being unscrupulous. When sacrificing others becomes a habit, he won't be aware of it. The poison of Blood Seizing Technique is killing human nature. "
Jiang Wang was silent.
Yu Beidou's description gave him a lot to think about.
In this world, there were many people who didn't see themselves as humans, and there were even more who didn't see others as humans.
He had seen too many along the way.
Cultivation was to transcend the mortal world, to get rid of the impurities, to have extraordinary courage, responsibility, and compassion. It shouldn't be about being high and mighty.
"In terms of effect. The Blood Seizing Technique can't see as far as the Life Seizing Technique. But when it's specific to each person, it can often be more accurate.
In terms of price, the Blood Seizing Technique almost doesn't require the diviner to pay any price.
It's just that from the perspective of the diviner, Blood Seizing Technique is better than Life Seizing Technique.
There's an endless stream of people who harm others and harm themselves. If harming others can benefit oneself, this technique has been hard to stop since time immemorial. "
Yu Beidou sat cross-legged, immersed in the past. His tone carried a sense of melancholy, "The night the Blood Seizing Technique was completed, I saw that the river of fate was stained with blood. At that time, I silently told myself that this was a wrong path, and that I had to correct it … But do you know how I killed my senior brother? "
Jiang Wang knew that Yu Beidou didn't ask this question for an answer, but for him to listen.
Thus, he listened carefully.
Yu Beidou's eyes drooped slightly, "He didn't guard against me."
Yu Beidou only said this about his senior brother's death.
But all the complications and suffering were included in this.
Jiang Wang naturally knew now that Yu Beidou had killed his senior brother with his own hands. Moreover, he had been pursuing the fortune-teller all these years, wanting to sever the Blood Seizing Technique. This was Yu Beidou's choice from the standpoint of the human race, based on the tradition of the Life Seizing Technique.
But what about from the standpoint of his senior brother?
That peerless genius was only unwilling to see the Life Seizing Technique disappear, unwilling to walk to the end of the road. That was why he tried to open up an unprecedented path. In order to open up a new path, he must have suffered a lot and put in a lot of effort. In the end, he succeeded!
Who would he share his joy with?
His master, his junior brother, the person he thought was on the same path …
Even to the point that he had clearly walked on a different path. To be able to open up a path like the Blood Seizing Technique, he should be someone who was indifferent to worldly affairs, someone who viewed the common people as grass … However, he didn't guard against Yu Beidou, and in the end, he died in Yu Beidou's scheme …
Humans were truly complicated.
It wasn't just Yu Beidou or his senior brother who felt complicated.
Including the fortune-teller, who could be an exception?
No matter how one looked at it, the fortune-teller deserved to die ten thousand times over.
But from the perspective of the fortune-teller himself, his master had clearly opened up a new path for the Life Seizing Technique. He was an amazing person who founded a sect, but he was plotted against and killed by his martial uncle who was jealous of his talent … How could he not feel hatred?
Until his death, he stared at Yu Beidou without closing his eyes!
Whatever "poison sac" or "cage", he only felt that they were excuses.
From his point of view, Yu Beidou was a despicable person who was jealous of others' talents.
He didn't hesitate to become a devil-man and sacrifice himself to the sword, just to complete this revenge.
When he casually used people's lives as divinations, when he sent people to massacre the Azure Cloud Pavilion in order to seek the Blood of Balance …
Would he feel that he was doing something wrong?
…
…
…
