Killer, Bing Province Lu Bu
Many disciples of the Taiheng Sect, like Gao Liu, have started live streaming, making it a comprehensive and multi-faceted event.
As more people participate in live streaming, the number of viewers increases, which in turn triggers the recommendation mechanism, leading to higher and higher popularity for the live stream.
In less than half a day, the hashtag "Taiheng Sect Pacification of the Rebellion" surpassed the advancement of the Tianyi Sect disciple Gui Tianhai to the Golden Core stage, becoming the most popular topic globally!
In an instant, everyone was asking, "What is the Great Peace Way?"
"The Great Peace Way was a religious organization founded by the Daoist Zhang Jiao. This sect advocated equality for all, respect for the elderly and care for the young, valuing the virtuous and seeking common ground, and believed that everyone had the right to cultivate themselves."
These slogans and ideas instantly amused countless people.
"A lowly commoner like yourself dares to dream of cultivating immortality?"
"Born to be farmers, destined to be farmers, immortality is not something you can dream of!"
"How did such an organization appear within the Taiheng Sect? Their management is lax. Do they need our help?"
External forces merely viewed the Great Peace Way as a source of amusement; after all, these were nothing more than a bunch of rioters, easily wiped out by the Taiheng Sect.
However, as the live stream progressed, many people gradually began to feel that something was wrong.
"Body Refinement Realm cultivator forming an army can actually fight against a powerhouse several realms higher than themselves?"
"Isn't this an organization that's only been around for three years? How come it has so many geniuses?"
"That was a genius ranked fifty-seventh on the Mountain River Ranking, how could he be killed in one sword strike?"
"How come those thousands of cultivators on that ship are trapped on the city wall and can't get off?"
"My God, the Flying Boat has been stolen!"
Jiang Muyun fought on the city wall for a long time, but he didn't feel like he had killed many people. Instead, he found himself constantly moving forward.
It wasn't until a cultivator behind him exclaimed in surprise that he realized something was wrong!
Looking back, a flag belonging to the Great Peace Way had already been planted on the Flying Boat!
The Flying Boat has been stolen!
Jiang Muyun hadn't realized what this meant; he just thought it was nothing more than the loss of the Flying Boat. The sect had plenty of Flying Boat; even without Flying Boat, they could walk back.
Don't underestimate the speed of a cultivator at the Body Refinement Realm!
But he soon realized that trying to escape was unrealistic!
More and more soldiers poured out of the city and climbed the city walls.
There were people dressed in white armor, people in black armor, people holding bright spears, and someone carrying a bucket on their back. It was unclear what kind of mechanism they had set up, but then that person suddenly spewed fire out of a pipe!
Another group of soldiers, lightly armed, carried baskets filled with small porcelain bottles. They would light the bottles on the fire and then throw them over.
If they threw it at a person, it would bounce back, so they threw it at the person's feet. The bottle shattered upon hitting the ground, and then a burst of flames erupted, instantly scattering in all directions!
Molotov cocktails!
He just watched helplessly as two thousand cultivators were cut into several battlefields by tens of thousands of soldiers, and then defeated and knocked down one by one using all sorts of dull and clumsy methods!
The various sword, spear, halberd, and spirit-manipulation techniques that cultivators learn are all individual combat skills, which are completely useless in the face of the dense human wall of shields and armor. Even Spiritual Manifestation is inadequate against attacks coming from all directions.
Jiang Muyun is a genius who can train his mental pressure to the point that he can suppress not only mortals, but also those at the same level as himself!
But he's clearly not that kind of genius; it's just a thought!
"Damn it!" Jiang Muyun was getting more and more tired as he defended himself. He suddenly realized that the people in front of him had changed. The eight people who had been fighting against him before had been replaced, and now he was facing eight new people!
They're using me as a training dummy!
Jiang Muyun's eyes widened in fury, and then she accidentally saw someone live-streaming on their phone below the city wall in the distance. She immediately roared angrily, "What are you filming? Come and help!"
Nobody paid him any attention. His men were all on the Flying Boat and had already joined the battle. The Taiheng Sect didn't teach any rules about mutual help and love among disciples; their motto was "better to die for your friend than for yourself."
It's good that you're dead, it'll free up a spot on the Mountain River Ranking!
"You dare kill me?" Seeing that her pleas for help had failed, Jiang Muyun glared angrily at Li Ling!
Hey, where's Li Ling?!
The spot where Li Ling originally was now empty, replaced by a muscular man dressed in black armor, wielding Heavenly Halberd, with an aura that resembled that of a demon god!
"And who are you?" Jiang Muyun shouted as he fought.
The man ignored him, simply gazing indifferently at the battlefield before him.
Jiang Muyun finally couldn't hold back any longer and roared, "Jiang Muyun of the Taiheng Sect, an elite disciple ranked sixteenth on the Mountain River Ranking, you dare to kill me? Aren't you afraid that the Taiheng Sect will raze this place to the ground?!"
He would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but his words immediately piqued the interest of the burly man, who then waved his hand.
The soldiers surrounding Jiang Muyun immediately dispersed, leaving a wide passage between the two of them.
"You're ranked sixteenth on the Mountain River Ranking?" the man asked. "So, you're very strong?"
"Of course!" Jiang Muyun nodded without hesitation, "If I hadn't been surrounded as soon as I stepped off the Flying Boat and couldn't take out my Spirit Artifact, how could I have ended up like this!"
"Where is your Spirit Artifact?" the man asked.
"Here it is!" As he spoke, Jiang Muyun took out a jade flute with a bright green color from his Storage Bag.
This is actually a sonic Spirit Artifact!
"So, you must be at your peak fighting strength right now!" the man asked.
"More or less!!" With the flute in hand, confidence surged within him.
Jiang Muyun asked, "Who are you? Are you the leader of this army? Tell your soldiers to stop! Do you know what the Taiheng Sect is? You can't afford to offend them!"
"These soldiers aren't mine; I'm just here to watch the show!" the man said. "But since you claim to be a strongman, I'm interested in having a go at you! I'll let you know that the one who kills you is Lu Bu of Bingzhou!"
"Damn it!" Jiang Muyun was amused and annoyed. He raised his flute to his lips and said, "He really thinks he's someone important, acting like some nobody!"
"Boom!" A Heavenly Halberd, like a divine weapon that could cleave the sky and cleave the moon, instantly reflected his entire body and mind!
In an instant, he forgot his cultivation level, forgot the jade flute, and forgot his origins.
His world consisted only of himself and a Heavenly Halberd lying across his face!
The next second, Jiang Muyun suddenly felt her vision shifting and spinning!
"I'm flying?"
"No, it's my head!"
With a screech, the Lu Bu spat lightly, "This is it? Sixteenth on the Mountain River Ranking? I'll kill him like a dog!"
For a fleeting moment, the live streams focusing on this battlefield froze, followed by an endless barrage of question marks filling the entire screen!
"How could this be? How could this be? That's Jiang Muyun!"
"What is he doing? Why isn't he playing the flute? Why don't you play it!"
"Martial God Realm? Did that person demonstrate the Martial God Realm?"
"How is that possible! That's a realm that only exists in legends! How old is this person? He looks no more than twenty-five or twenty-six!"
"Then how do you explain the scene just now? Jiang Muyun was completely stunned and couldn't move at all. What else could this be but the Martial God Realm?"
"Perhaps he's just spacing out?"
"I'm out of my mind!"
Lu Bu was not a member of the Great Peace Way; he had indeed come to watch the spectacle, but the others did not know that!
All they knew was that the Great Peace Army had a fierce man who could kill the sixteenth-ranked warrior on the Mountain River Ranking with a single halberd strike!
In addition, there was the white-robed young master who had previously defeated the fifty-seventh-ranked person on the Mountain River Ranking.
A swordsman who slaughtered more than a dozen Body Refinement Realm cultivators with a single sword strike, looking like a beggar!
So where did these people come from? Were they trained by the Aristocratic Clan or sects?
As soon as this question was raised, countless Aristocratic Clan immediately jumped out to deny it, saying, "It's definitely not us!"
The Great Peace Way has massacred countless Aristocratic Clan and is irreconcilably opposed to them. If we were members of our Lineage, how could we possibly stand on the same side as the Great Peace Way?
Aside from the Aristocratic Clan and sects, there are no other powerful forces in Southern Forest!
Where did these people come from? They couldn't have just popped out of a rock!
Everyone naturally thought of the Great Peace Way.
Zhang Jiao widely disseminated the Scripture of Great Peace), which contained Divine Forms, Breathing Technique, and even the method of visualizing the Heavenly Emperor. One could cultivate all the way up to the tenth level of the Body Refinement Realm!
The Great Peace Way widely spreads this practice throughout the region, and everyone can cultivate it!
If a person belongs neither to a noble Aristocratic Clan nor to a sect, yet embarks on the path of cultivation.
That must have been learned from the * Scripture of Great Peace *!
However, the Great Peace Way has only been established for three years!
Is this some kind of miraculous skill or technique that can quickly train disciples?
Many people thought of this section and then hurriedly searched for it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiao didn't keep the Scripture of Great Peace hidden at all; it had been uploaded to the internet three years prior, along with detailed explanations and tutorials!
The major sects immediately began studying the Scripture of Great Peace.
However, this Cultivation Method is really just an ordinary, unremarkable Body Refinement Realm cultivation method. The Divine Forms are neither strong nor weak, falling into the middle range, and the Breathing Technique are neither strong nor weak, also falling into the middle range.
The visualization method is even stranger. It involves visualizing a deity named Huangtian who wears a flat crown, a purple-blue robe, and holds a jade ruyi. He has a handsome appearance but does not actually exist!
And a deity dressed in black robes, with a dignified and solemn appearance, holding a Xuanhuang ruler, named Houtu, who in reality does not exist!
Given the vast and powerful nature of Taiheng, verifying the existence of a deity would be quite easy.
In other words, these two kinds of gods do not actually exist in this world.
Since gods do not exist, the statements at the beginning of the scriptures that those who practice this method belong to the Great Peace Way sect and that the Imperial Heaven, Queen Earth are their masters are naturally deceptive.
Thus, Zhang Jiao, the founder of the Great Peace Way, can be roughly characterized as a charlatan who learned some superficial cultivation methods and then went out to swindle people!
Yet this swindler managed to stir up such a huge upheaval and actually cultivate many geniuses!
What exactly went wrong?
Although Zhang Jiao's videos were uploaded online, the actual number of views was not high because the learners were all guided by Prefecture Master, County Master, and village shadows.
This is why no one discovered the video before, and it has nothing to do with Deep Blue deliberately concealing its popularity.
But now, with so many people searching for it, the popularity of the * Scripture of Great Peace * has skyrocketed, and in less than an afternoon, it has even made it onto the trending search list!
This terrified all the cultivation sects. They knew that the Scripture of Great Peace had only been spread in Southern Forest, and such a thing had already happened. Now, mobile phones were ubiquitous worldwide; what if ordinary people all over the world practiced the Scripture of Great Peace?
Suppressing trending topics is impossible. The major sects can only issue orders strictly prohibiting the dissemination of the "Scripture of Great Peace". Subordinate sects, Huangchao, and kingdoms must also issue internal bans prohibiting the dissemination of the "Scripture of Great Peace" and prohibiting people from searching for or learning about the "Scripture of Great Peace". Once its popularity fades, this Cultivation Method will naturally be forgotten over time.
Clearly, the leaders of Taiheng are unaware of a fundamental principle: the best way to ensure the widespread dissemination of a work is to ban it.
