A Role Card protected Spirit Realm Walkers—this statement reminded Zhang Yuanqing of an ancient cultivator: the Pure Yang Sect Leader.
Old Clapper's master had once forcibly cultivated an Illusionist's mental arts in order to break through his realm. As a result, he went mad and became a bloodthirsty lunatic.
From this, it could be seen that when an Orderly Profession cultivated the spiritual power of an Evil Profession, the consequence was mental collapse. Thus, Role Cards were a form of protection for Orderly Walkers.
—Role Cards restricted Spirit Realm Walkers from cultivating the spiritual power of other professions.
Furthermore, Zhang Yuanqing believed Fear Heavenly King's claim that a Role Card could only change from orderly to evil was correct.
Nüwa Sovereign was proof of that.
Nüwa Sovereign held the dual professions of Musician and Scholar, yet she had not gone mad. This showed that Orderly Professions could be cultivated together without any side effects, so no protection was necessary.
The core purpose of a Role Card's protection was to prevent Orderly Professions from cultivating evil spiritual power and being "contaminated."
But what did the Spirit Realm's self-defense mechanism mean?
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Role Cards should be protecting Orderly Professions, right? What does the Spirit Realm's self-defense mechanism mean?]
Fear Heavenly King ignored him.
[Yuanshi Tianzun: Great Freedom Heavenly King, please resolve my doubts.] [Fear Heavenly King: Whether I answer you or not is my freedom. I don't feel like telling you now.]
Zhang Yuanqing frowned, unable for a moment to tell whether the guy was having another episode or whether the Spirit Realm's self-defense mechanism involved secrets of a higher level, making him unwilling to reveal them.
But no matter what, Fear Heavenly King's willingness to ramble was a good thing.
Even a demigod's ramblings—complaints
