Worldwide Awakening: My Soul Kinds Are Lost-Chapter 663: Good Things Should Be Shared_1
After the battle with the Yanhua Sect, the Virtue Sect’s fame rapidly spread among the surrounding sects. Subsequently, the Yanhua Sect announced its merger with the Virtue Sect, becoming a part of it. To outsiders, the situation looked rather peculiar: was it truly the Virtue Sect that had absorbed the Yanhua Sect, or had the Yanhua Sect played the cuckoo in their nest?
In the entire Virtue Sect, only the Sect Leader was not an original member of the Yanhua Sect; all others were Disciples of Yanhua Sect. It strongly resembled a cuckoo having taken over the magpie’s nest.
Upon successfully merging, the Virtue Sect immediately repudiated all promises previously made by the Yanhua Sect. All benefits that should have been conceded were withheld. They proclaimed that those promises were made by the Yanhua Sect, and as the Virtue Sect, they had no connection with the Yanhua Sect whatsoever.
If anyone dared to touch the Virtue Sect’s possessions, they shouldn’t blame the Virtue Sect for turning hostile.
Because of this, the Virtue Sect clashed several times with numerous other sects, even drawing out a Cultivating Void Stage Cultivator. However, Deng Chong and Xia Houqing working together managed to repel them.
Ultimately, deterred by the Virtue Sect’s utter strangeness, the other sects gave up.
The crucial point was that two Qi Refining Stage Cultivators could wield such formidable power relying solely on Merit. This was simply incredible.
Therefore, the numerous sects no longer coveted the former Yanhua Sect’s resources. Instead, their attention shifted to the Virtue Sect’s heritage, determined to obtain this extraordinary legacy by hook or by crook.
「And then... Wang Linchi returned.」 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
He had spent over a year slaying monsters in the Zombie World, and now he was at the Peak of Foundation Establishment Stage.
He was only one step away from successfully forming a Golden Core. His Foundation Establishment was not ordinary; it was based on the authority of Heaven and Earth.
By rapidly building mental models through a mana state and implanting a cognitive chip—which was essentially his Foundation Establishment Pill—he expanded his cognitive module to provide the computational power for channeling Spiritual Energy.
Reaching this stage meant cultivators had begun evolving into humanoid supercomputers. In particular, using Spiritual Energy to provide computational power directly externalized the original operational costs.
At this point, all Spells were at their fingertips, remembered at a glance, and mastered upon learning. They no longer needed to worry about being unable to learn Spells or slow learning speeds, unless they were truly absent-minded.
Moreover, he had killed all the zombies and fully condensed the Merit Golden Wheel, meaning the Zombie World’s value was completely exhausted. Wang Linchi planned to return in another two days to devour the Zombie World.
However, when Wang Linchi returned, he found his Virtue Sect had practically become the Yanhua Sect. Although it was said that his Virtue Sect had absorbed the Yanhua Sect, the actual power structure hadn’t changed much.
But Deng Chong and Xia Houqing were quite principled. They hadn’t passed down the Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill to the Disciples of Yanhua Sect, instead letting them continue practicing their original Cultivation Techniques. Since they hadn’t received Wang Linchi’s approval, they had only taught it to Jia You, the former Sect Leader of the Yanhua Sect.
"So, the Virtue Sect is now being watched by both the righteous and Devil paths, and a large number of spies and traitors have infiltrated us, is that it?" Wang Linchi summarized.
Xia Houqing looked somewhat embarrassed. Anyone with discerning eyes could see something was amiss.
Indeed, we have essentially usurped their position, Xia Houqing admitted to himself.
"Yes, and..." Xia Houqing began to say more.
Wang Linchi, however, cut him off. "And another thing, what kind of job are you doing here?"
"Now that they’ve joined my Virtue Sect, why are they all still practicing those miscellaneous Cultivation Techniques?"
This question stunned the three of them.
Is there something wrong with his reasoning? they wondered.
The Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill is the foundational Cultivation Technique of our Virtue Sect. How can it be taught so casually? Does he not care about spies and traitors at all?
For Wang Linchi, he was eager for everyone to convert to cultivating Merit. The more people practiced the Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill, the more sustenance his Virtue of Merits and Morals would receive. He wasn’t doing this out of pure benevolence.
The Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill was a lesser, derivative version of his Virtue of Merits and Morals. Anyone who cultivated it would, due to its inherent ’taint,’ eventually enter the settlement area of Wang Linchi’s Virtue Career System. How he would then have them under his thumb was entirely up to him.
By then, the Transcendental System of the entire world would be linked to his Virtue Career System, and the vast corrosive influence would make the entire world his for the taking.
However, the system formed by the Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill was virtually unknown to the current cultivators.
Cultivators, however, wouldn’t mind this lack of understanding. As long as a Cultivation Technique was powerful, brought immense benefits, and had no discernible hidden dangers, they would readily cultivate it.
Otherwise, why would Cultivation Techniques have undergone so few iterations up to now?
"But if it’s taught to everyone, wouldn’t that leak our sect’s core Cultivation Technique?" Deng Chong said helplessly. "You yourself said there are problems within the Virtue Sect. How can you still dare to spread it? Are you afraid others *won’t* get their hands on it?"
The Qiandao Realm naturally had a tradition of guarding one’s own treasures closely. All sorts of Cultivation Techniques and Spells in each sect were meticulously protected with various restrictions, oaths, and other Transcendent measures to effectively prevent their heritage from being lost.
Furthermore, due to strict exchange systems and learning protocols, most sects kept their heritage circulating only within their own ranks.
This posed a very serious problem: if a heritage was lost or damaged, it was likely to be severed completely.
"Yes, that’s exactly my intention," Wang Linchi nodded, entirely unconcerned.
"No, absolutely not! This is our sect’s foundational Cultivation Technique!" Xia Houqing was the first to object, and the other two quickly chimed in their agreement.
This proposal truly challenged their conventional views. Who would just give away their own sect’s heritage, especially one so powerful? How could it be disseminated so easily?
"Why not? The Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill cultivates Merit. You should understand what that implies, shouldn’t you?" Wang Linchi said with a smile.
The three didn’t grasp his meaning immediately.
"It means performing good deeds and accumulating Merit. To cultivate the Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill, one *must* perform good deeds and accumulate Merit," Wang Linchi continued.
At this moment, the three of them finally understood. "Truly worthy of the Sect Leader! This is an open strategy, one that no one can resist!"
Wang Linchi wanted to retort, This isn’t an ’open strategy.’ It’s just straightforwardly fostering intense competition, much like the principle behind the Ward off Evil Sword technique.
He would spread the Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill throughout the Qiandao Realm. If you cultivated it, you’d have to operate according to the Merit settlement system. But if you *didn’t* cultivate it, and your enemy did, then once they became a Master of Divine Skills, they would come to kill you.
Performing good deeds and accumulating Merit doesn’t mean you can’t take revenge or target someone specific.
And if you thought of striking preemptively while your opponent was dispersing their cultivation power, then tough luck. The other party would be protected by Merit at that time, and you’d be the one to suffer if you attacked.
Once their power was dispersed, they could recultivate to the Qi Refining First Layer and gain a point of Merit in at most twelve hours.
If it took twelve days, one might indeed find an opportunity. But twelve hours? How could they possibly not stall for that long?
The Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill was simply too heaven-defying. Even at the Qi Refining Stage, one could draw upon the power of Heaven and Earth to fight, and its might increased with the amount of Merit.
"So, should we conceal parts of the Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill, to prevent...?" Deng Chong asked again.
This was a common method for sects to control their Disciples. Most Cultivation Techniques given to Disciples were incomplete, requiring them to exchange for subsequent parts later. This exchange not only required sufficient contributions but also a corresponding status, like being an Inner Disciple or Outer Disciple.
"No need. Just let them learn," Wang Linchi replied, unconcerned. "No matter how fast this group cultivates, they couldn’t possibly catch up to me. With the Merit Golden Wheel behind me and the Tai Mountain Seal brimming with Merit, even if the entire Qiandao Realm were squeezed dry, it couldn’t produce that much Merit."
Once everyone cultivated the Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill, it would become a simple numbers game. And unfortunately for them, Wang Linchi, who had essentially rigged this game, possessed the highest numbers.
More importantly, this numbers game was his own creation. As its developer and operator, Wang Linchi wasn’t afraid of anyone surpassing him, especially since they would be playing a lesser, incomplete version that he designed.
Every time they ’recharged’—that is, gained Merit—they were essentially handing over a portion of that ’payment’ to Wang Linchi. There was no way he could lose.
If he stood to lose, why would he bother spreading the Complete Evil to Complete Good Skill in the first place?
"This... Yes, Sect Leader." The three were taken aback by Wang Linchi’s magnanimity.
