Spiritual Jade
Yang Ning learned a concept from his teacher called the weakness of the bourgeoisie.
He now realizes that cultivators are actually weak as well.
Despite their formidable strength, capable of destroying a mountain with a single blow, they are actually the more afraid of death the longer they live.
Faced with the reality of the war between the Ming Dynasty and Taiheng, many people did not choose to fight to the death or die on the battlefield, but instead surrendered directly.
It's one thing for those without Aristocratic Clan backgrounds to send their servants and pageboys to scout the Ming Dynasty, but it's another for those with the Aristocratic Clan backgrounds to do the same.
Moreover, if they sent people to the Ming Dynasty in the past to place bets, they still came even now that they know the Ming Dynasty is massacring aristocratic Aristocratic Clan.
They had that wishful thinking mentality, believing that Yang Ning wouldn't be able to find out, or that even if it was a case of paying a fortune for a horse's bones, they would still have to grit their teeth and accept their help.
If the Ming Dynasty were a unified country, their plan would have truly succeeded. But the Ming Dynasty is not yet unified, and the rebel army is still fighting, with no one more or less in its ranks!
Sending people over there by these Aristocratic Clan is tantamount to sending food to the enemy.
The Aristocratic Clan of the four major domains of Taiheng are being systematically purged, but Yang Ning has not stopped his efforts; he has already turned his attention to the main Taiheng sect.
As the place with the most Spiritual Qi in Taiheng, Taiheng Main Sect naturally has the largest population.
Although the Taiheng Sect occupies an area of only five thousand miles in length and width, its actual internal area is larger than the Four Regions combined, and its population is several times larger than that of the Four Regions.
Of the twenty-three major clans of Taiheng, nineteen were from the Taiheng main clan, plus the numerous smaller Aristocratic Clan below them, the core population alone reached 24 billion!
Yang Ning was reluctant to use the formation to deal with these nineteen families, because the outer array not only protected Taiheng, but also locked away the surging Spiritual Qi inside the Taiheng Sect.
If this formation were destroyed, the Tai Heng Noble Families would certainly be gone, but their Spiritual Qi would also dissipate, and it would take countless years to gather it back together.
However, if no better solution is found, then we'll still have to use a hydrogen bomb.
"How are we supposed to do this? Sweep over one mountain at a time?" Yang Ning asked, looking through Taiheng's structural diagrams.
The structure of the Taiheng Sect is extremely complex; it is not a two-dimensional structure, but a three-dimensional one.
On the plane, from the center to the outermost edge, there are four rings: the Taiheng Immortal Realm where cultivators of the Spiritual Law Realm practice, the Taiheng Palace where the sect leader and various elders work, the inner disciple' mountain peaks, Outer Disciple' palaces.
In three dimensions, from top to bottom, there are four rings of cultivation areas for elders, inner disciple, and Outer Disciple, which together form the fifth level of heaven.
The Artisan District, where Artifact Forging Master, Pill Refining Master, and Beast Taming Beast Taming Master reside, is the fourth heaven.
The spiritual plant Spirit Plant District where spiritual Spirit Plant Master cultivate their fields is the Third Heaven.
The Residential District where ordinary people live is called the Second Heaven.
Taiheng Detention Center, the Dungeon District where criminals were held, was a separate realm.
In addition, large areas of Residential District, Spirit Plant District, and Artisan District have been occupied by the Aristocratic Clan, who have built manors and villas of all sizes.
They constructed a barrier separating the inside from the outside, and Teleportation Formation array that allowed passage both up and down, effectively creating a sixth heaven outside the fifth heaven.
"There are 24.6 million people in the Dungeon District, that's a lot." Yang Ning looked through the list of dungeon personnel compiled by Deep Blue Lan. It included disciples from the Myriad Saints Alliance, Tianyi Sect, Jinxiang Sect, Sun Sect, Taiyin Sect, as well as disciples from Taiheng.
Moreover, Taiheng actually has the largest number of disciples.
Most of these disciples had one thing in common: they had offended Aristocratic Clan.
The reasons for offending Aristocratic Clan are Eight Gates.
He's competing with the Aristocratic Clan for a woman.
He was exceptionally talented, but unwilling to submit to powerful Aristocratic Clan.
She is coveted by men/women from the Aristocratic Clan, but is unwilling to submit.
He defeated the scion of the Aristocratic Clan in a martial arts competition.
The truth about the monopoly of resources by the Aristocratic Clan was discovered, and so on.
The scions of the Aristocratic Clan imprisoned these people but did not kill them, not because they were kind, but because cultivators themselves are a kind of resource for cultivation.
Yang Ning shook his head, choosing not to save them.
They were indeed enemies of the Aristocratic Clan, but not necessarily friends of Yang Ning.
Moreover, Yang Ning doesn't lack people; he doesn't need to make a lot of friends.
"The Residential District, the Spirit Plant District, and the Artisan District —none of them seem worthwhile. Hmm?"
Yang Ning discovered something that shocked him three hundred years ago.
Xiao Lei and Meng Yu actually slept together!
After the meeting, the two found a place to eat and chat, discussing the matter of surrendering to the Ming Dynasty.
Then, under the cover of darkness, they actually ended up sleeping together!
"Holy crap!" These two are both powerful cultivators at the Spiritual Law Realm, probably over ten thousand years old, and they still have this kind of interest?
Yang Ning sensed something and immediately adjusted his data search strategy, instantly obtaining a large amount of data, videos, and text files.
The Heavenly Emperor's Eye has already detected many things, but Yang Ning hasn't compiled them yet. Now, when he needs this data, he can get the answer instantly.
The data obtained from the search truly opened Yang Ning's eyes!
You know Greek mythology, right?
The relationships between these Aristocratic Clan are even more complicated than those in Greek mythology!
Although there is no Confucianism in the Cultivation World, there is indeed a concept of chastity, and the idea of one's partner for life exists.
But as we all know, this kind of thinking has always been a constraint on people at the bottom. People at the top can marry a thousand or ten thousand women, so why should I abide by this kind of thing?
The same applies to female cultivators. With my immense strength, why should I be bound to one person for the rest of my life?
Empress Wu Zetian had three thousand male concubines, let alone female cultivators with endless lifespans and immortality!
Furthermore, due to the existence of dual Cultivation Method, this behavior appears ordinary and common to cultivators.
In addition, cultivators are physically strong, so there is no possibility of them dying from exhaustion after just one night of work.
It's a win-win situation—enjoying happiness while also enhancing both parties' self-cultivation. Why not?
Because they have endless lifespans, immense strength, and the ability to increase their cultivation, these scions of the Aristocratic Clan play games that are far more extravagant than Yang Ning's, and far more extravagant than any Earthling could imagine!
This is Aristocratic Clan is like; the films you watch are merely glimpses of their daily lives.
However, even scions of the Aristocratic Clan are not without principles.
This bottom line is: bloodline!
It's okay if you have a good relationship with your brothers and you're like-minded.
But you must never let your brother's seed sprout in your field.
Because what sustains Aristocratic Clan is its bloodline; if the bloodline is contaminated, how can the Aristocratic Clan continue to exist?
Not only do Aristocratic Clan value bloodlines, but they also have Eight Gates of methods to verify them. These methods are simple and fast; if you have a question in the morning, you can get the result by noon.
What if there's a problem with the blood vessels?
Pregnant women should have abortions; babies already born should be drowned!
As for those who grew up, the Aristocratic Clan have verified that none have.
Yang Ning verified it with the Heavenly Emperor's Eye, and it didn't work!
They actually used Divine Ability to verify bloodlines, ensuring the purity of the bloodline!
But
The Divine Ability used to verify bloodlines Eight Gates, but none of them are of a high level!
Leaving aside the fact that most of them are at the Human level, even the highest-level Bloodline Traction Technique is only at the Earth-grade Divine Ability.
Whether it's a human-level or Earth-grade Divine Ability, the principle behind it is runes. Yang Ning can even make Rune Chip, so breaking a Bloodline Traction Technique is a piece of cake!
Before long, he designed a Rune Chip.
This Rune Chip can interfere with all the bloodline verification Divine Ability currently possessed by the Aristocratic Clan, making the results controllable by the owner of the Rune Chip.
In other words: if I want it to be, it is; if I want it not to be, it is not!
"Isn't this too immoral?" Yang Ning looked at the chip and thought of a news story he had read about a man who had raised three daughters for 16 years, only to find that none of them were his biological children. He felt like he was aiding and abetting a wicked person.
However, he quickly let go of his desire to help others.
After all, he never intended to sell this chip to ordinary people; he only targeted powerful Aristocratic Clan. Since he had already made enemies of these Aristocratic Clan, he would naturally resort to any means necessary.
Besides, I've even used hydrogen bombs, why would I be afraid of aiding and abetting evil?
"Let's do it!" Yang Ning gave the order, and countless chips were integrated into artificial gemstones, which were then recommended by the mall to those who wanted the gemstones.
This thing, named the Spiritual Jade, definitely has a market. Although it takes a long time to show its effects, Yang Ning has just started his campaigns in Eastern Victory, Western Splendor, Northern Plains, and he needs some time to consolidate his gains.
Time is on the side of the Ming Dynasty!
