My construction materials are weird

Switching tracks, the topic of Spirit Masters converting to cultivators is no longer a taboo.

If this were two years ago, any Spirit Master who said this would have been attacked by the group.

Prejudice is a mountain, difficult to remove.

Everything Spirit Masters have comes from controlling the paranormal. Suddenly telling them there's a less costly way to transcend, they won't accept it.

I've worked so hard, risking countless life-and-death crises to control the paranormal. Now I'm neither human nor ghost, and you're saying there's a new path?

I don't accept it.

Plus, the general extremism of Spirit Masters led to attacks on anyone mentioning switching paths.

Strictly speaking, in the past two years, the extremist nature of Spirit Masters has generally declined a lot; the very extreme are now rare.

This is also thanks to Xuan Huang.

Or rather, thanks to the power of the Demon Orb.

Although not mentioned, the Demon Orb has already been forcibly elevated to the third level by Spirit Masters.

This is achieved by Spirit Masters constantly eliminating distortion.

Before, only the Demon Suppression Department used it, but later, other major forces learned about it, especially those friendly to Xuan Huang, and they also consulted Xuan Huang's opinion.

Xuan Huang naturally agreed.

It was handed over to the Demon Suppression Department, which used the inner-world teleportation jade slips provided by Xuan Huang to receive major forces or rogue Spirit Masters to digest the distortion.

In the past two years, the Demon Orb has alleviated the distortion and erosion of countless Spirit Masters.

It has significantly reduced the extremist personality of Spirit Masters.

This is also one of the reasons why Xuan Huang is respected: a powerful force providing a second path, the Demon Orb, etc.

Combined, no one dares to disrespect Xuan Huang.

In the past two years, three thousand Spirit Masters have switched tracks. It seems like a lot, but these three thousand are almost all Spirit Masters on the verge of losing control.

Spirit Masters who can still maintain control have not switched tracks.

It's still that saying: everyone's considerations are different when it comes to gains and losses.

All status and strength come from the identity of a Spirit Master, making it difficult for them to give up this identity.

"I wonder if Xuan Shi obtained the Paranormal Association's ability after killing Qiao Liangyu. If he did, that would be great, as it could connect to all parts of the world, and my place could also be connected."

One Spirit Master said this, leaving everyone puzzled.

"This? What are you thinking, fellow Daoist? Don't you know what the appearance of cultivators represents?"

One Spirit Master was very angry but held back his anger and asked.

He couldn't possibly say that it represents my loss of the right to do whatever I want, the right to control the joys and sorrows of a place.

Saying that would be too...

"You know? You know and still hope cultivators go to your place?" The Spirit Master who retorted was even more confused.

"I know, I know everything, but you don't know what I'm facing. I have two realms here, although they're not top-tier realms, and I can't travel outside for the time being, but they can cause trouble, such as sending out paranormal entities to wreak havoc..."

"...I've had enough. I'm threatened enough by them. You have no idea what demands these bastards have made of me."

This one finally revealed the reason.

His words received the approval of many people, and many Spirit Masters empathized.

Because their territories also have realms existing.

They are also threatened.

"This?"

The one who retorted didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"These bastards want me to worship them, and they also want me to integrate the entire city to build temples for them to worship. That would be fine if doing so had enough rewards, but..."

This Spirit Master continued: "But they don't treat us like people at all, acting high and mighty and scolding us like ants. Not to mention any benefits, they even want those who worship them to kneel and pray for at least eight hours a day. That's the minimum. According to them, as long as you don't die, it's best to pray all day long to provide incense. I XXXX..."

This one couldn't help but curse.

Everyone was surprised to see this but understood why this fellow Daoist hoped for the arrival of Xuan Shi.

These realm deities are so inhumane, actually wanting to be worshipped like this.

It's best to worship without eating or drinking, just providing faith and incense.

Isn't this enslavement?

Isn't this raising them in captivity?

"I've long heard that the conflict between Xuan Shi and the realms is because of this point. Realm deities want incense and faith from humans and don't want humans to be self-reliant. They just want humans to be sheep raised in captivity. Now it seems, their ambitions are indeed wild."

"That's right. I fully support Xuan Shi on this point. I've also encountered realm beings who sent messages saying I'm an enchanted person and shouldn't exist. They'll kill me as soon as they come out. I'm f***ing... If I don't control the paranormal, how can I protect my people? Do you think I want to be like this?"

"..."

For a time, there was much discussion. It seemed that many people were threatened by realms.

As mentioned before, there is a natural and irreconcilable contradiction between realm deities and human cultivators, even Spirit Masters.

What the deities want is human faith and incense, and that's all.

They don't want to see humans save themselves and become stronger.

Because that would be out of control. Humans without any extraordinary abilities are easier to control.

It should be noted that nothing is absolute. Don't be binary. Most small and medium-sized realms are like this, but it doesn't mean all realms are like this.

Deities transformed from human sages, deities who walked out from the past of history, most of them would not be like this.

After all, they are ultimately deities of humans.

Deities that do not belong to humans, imaginary beings, alien races, would not care about this point.

"So, I can't wait for Xuan Shi to control Qiao Liangyu's Paranormal Association and be able to connect to my city. That way, I won't be afraid of the realm's threat. At worst, I'll join the cultivators and switch paths."

"It's better than being suffocated now. Our Spirit Master attribute is the most intolerable to being suffocated. I've almost lost control several times because I was so angry, damn it!"

"Fellow Daoist, I understand you. I also want cultivators to come to my place. I've had similar experiences to you. A lake realm and a desolate grave realm are not human and threaten me all day long... What realm is threatening you?"

"I'm threatened by the Gray Yellow Two Immortals realm. They're also not human, a rat and a weasel, annoying me to death."

The two discussed the realm deities, or rather, the monsters in the realm.

"Have you heard of a realm composed entirely of lanterns? My place is a lantern realm, composed entirely of some bizarre lantern spirits."

"Lantern spirits? I've never heard of that, but the realm in my hometown is also very strange. It's a brothel realm. They say they're human, but they don't seem to admit it. They're very strange and are inducing... threatening me."

"Tell us in detail how they induce!"

"Cough, cough, I misspoke. It's threatening, it's threatening."

Okay, they've strayed from the topic.

But it can be seen that the realms are strange and varied, with all kinds of things, none of which are top-tier realms.

There aren't even large realms; they're all small and medium-sized realms.

Even so, they can't cope with them.

“I haven't encountered any boundary disruptions here, or perhaps I just haven't noticed them. But I can't hold on much longer. It's the falling stars, the disaster brought by the falling stars that has destroyed my home. Alas!”

A Spirit Master lamented.

“Falling stars? Didn't you read the Town Evil Department's defense guide, fellow cultivator? As long as you withstand the initial period and consolidate the cohesion of the entire city, you can guide the falling stars to deviate, right?”

Another Spirit Master asked, puzzled.

“We did indeed do that at the beginning, but I couldn't prevent internal sabotage. Cohesion, cohesion... it only has power when it's gathered, but what if it can't be gathered? What if people's hearts break apart?”

The man said wistfully.

Hearing him say that, everyone seemed to understand.

“There are always some fellow cultivators who don't care about the lives of ordinary people, committing all kinds of evil and wrongdoing, making ordinary people pale at the mere mention of them. How can there be any cohesion like that?

They can just walk away without a care, but those of us who want to protect ordinary people suffer the consequences. If the situation doesn't change, I think we'll have to leave too. My hometown can't hold on anymore.”

This Spirit Master said despondently.

“It can only be said that joys and sorrows are not shared. What you face is falling stars, fellow cultivator, but what I face is a small world.

I've discovered a passage to a small world here, and not just any small world, but a bizarre world composed of horror stories, which is invading my city. I'm also about to lose my grip.”

Another Spirit Master spoke up.

No mistake, one head, one hair, one inside, one appearance, all in one look!

Similarly, they couldn't hold on anymore, but the crises they faced were different. It wasn't a boundary disruption, it wasn't falling stars, but a crisis from a small world.

“That can't be, can it? Small world crises aren't that dangerous, are they? Although we Spirit Masters aren't the strongest at the same level, the existence of a small world, no matter what kind of creatures it contains, shouldn't be stronger than us, right?”

A Spirit Master asked, puzzled.

Now, within the borders of Xia, a reality has been basically accepted.

That is, at the same level, cultivators are the strongest overall, followed by the strange, the complete strange at the same level, not the strange controlled by Spirit Masters.

Third are Spirit Masters and advanced civilization groups.

Spirit Masters have also accepted the classification of civilization groups: low-level civilization groups, intermediate civilization groups, advanced civilization groups, and peak civilization groups.

Civilization is strength; without strength, it cannot be called civilization.

A civilization represents a race, and the level of civilization represents the strength of the race.

This was compiled and published by the Di Ting Tower. Now, within the borders of Xia, whether cultivators or Spirit Masters, they have basically accepted this classification.

“According to the cultivator classification, this horror world is only an intermediate civilization, but fellow cultivators, they have a huge number of them! I am not a cultivator, I will not become stronger and stronger in battle and not be afraid of consumption, I am a Spirit Master, they can drown me with numbers.”

This cultivator spoke of his unspeakable difficulties.

What he said left everyone speechless.

It is said that cultivators represent the pinnacle of human civilization; they are just that strong, with no significant weaknesses.

Unlike the fragile Spirit Masters, who are very afraid of attrition warfare, very afraid of protracted warfare, and whose 'reproductive' ability is not strong.

The reproductive ability here refers to the probability of ordinary people becoming Spirit Masters.

The probability of becoming a Spirit Master is too small, far less than the proportion of becoming a cultivator.

This is a kind of 'reproductive ability'.

A civilization that dares to call itself a peak civilization must have no shortcomings in all aspects. If the probability of becoming a cultivator is lower than that of becoming a Spirit Master, then it cannot be considered without shortcomings.

“I heard that they are trying to integrate with the strange. If they succeed, I think I am not far from death, after all, from the classification point of view, they and the strange are in the same category, but the strange are immortal, they are fragments of rules, they... they I don't know what causes them to be born, I am not a cultivator, I don't have the ability to study that.”

Every time, from the dialogue of the Spirit Masters, we can see the comprehensiveness of the cultivators.

This one mentioned another thing, that is, the ability of cultivators to research.

Research requires mana to support, to deduce, explore, simulate, etc.

Mana is the cultivator's own, they can use it however they want.

Strange abilities not only belong to the Spirit Master, but also to the strange they control, so they cannot be studied very well.

In a word, the cultivator's research tool is the cultivator himself, the Spirit Master's research tool is not themselves, and if they don't operate it well, the experiment will explode.

“Fellow cultivator, you really need a cultivator to appear here. Cultivators are best at dealing with these ghosts and monsters. If they descend, this so-called horror world will no longer be a crisis, but a treasure trove.”

Someone responded.

“What you said, what is the cultivator not good at dealing with? The strange have become their treasure troves.”

Someone interjected.

However, it would have been better not to say it, but once it was said, it didn't taste right.

Why are they all praising cultivators?

And... how could cultivators be so strong?

I don't know if the one who scolded the cultivator just now is still there.

If he is still there, I don't know if he will be so angry that he loses control of the strange after seeing such a conversation.

“Is it that cultivators are strong? Wrong, cultivators are just so-so, it is the Xuan Master who is invincible, fellow cultivators, please don't get it wrong.”

“Ah, yes, yes, yes!”

“That's right, that's so right.”

“Sure enough, there are fellow cultivators who understand things, this is so right.”

“If we Spirit Master world had someone like Xuan Master, we would also be invincible, and we would do better than the current cultivators.”

“I firmly agree with this.”

“Yes, this sentence is beyond doubt.”

“……”

“Ahem, fellow cultivators, I'll retreat first, the damned boundary disruption is causing trouble again.”

“Me too, the falling stars are starting again.”

“……”

The heated post finally dispersed.

Every Spirit Master is very busy, whether really busy or pretending to be busy, in short, don't ask, they all have things to do.

And at the headquarters of the Town Evil Department.

They knew that Qiao Liangyu had been eliminated earlier than the Spirit Masters online.

Because one of the Dragon Master's Dao soldiers was on Qingyun Mountain, and the Dragon Master knew everything about the changes on Qingyun Mountain.

Knowing that Qiao Liangyu had been destroyed, Bi Xia was still in a daze for a while.

His old opponent had been destroyed, this was not the first old opponent to be destroyed.

The God Lord, this old opponent, was also destroyed by the Xuan Master.

Now the second old opponent is also gone.

“Sure enough!” Bi Xia said with emotion.

Before, the Dragon Master comforted him and said: Don't worry about Qiao Liangyu, isn't the Xuan Master in retreat again? Maybe after this breakthrough, he will have the ability to kill Qiao Liangyu.

Now it seems that the Dragon Master was right.

He was really destroyed.

“Giggle, this scourge is finally dead, that's great. Over the years, he has done so many bad things, disrupting our plans countless times, and finally got his punishment.”

Han Wu was very happy.

After all, it's good for her to be happy, Bi Xia needs to think more.
