The Intelligence-Lowering Aura Was a Bit Too Powerful, and the Perfect Eldest Senior Brother's Persona Crumbled!
As the saying goes, without lowering one's intelligence, there is no satisfying story.
Low-quality wish-fulfillment novels Protagonist intelligence is reduced; mid-quality wish-fulfillment novels feature villains whose intelligence is reduced; high-quality wish-fulfillment novels feature everyone whose intelligence is reduced.
If the Protagonist doesn't become less intelligent, how can he act like a lunatic? He's clearly a powerless Xiao Xiami, yet he dares to bully the Immortal Sect and the Holy Sect?
Any web novel where the Protagonist is surrounded by brothers, family members, clansmen, or even his wife being sacrificed is a web novel where the Protagonist is mentally challenged.
With each sacrifice to the heavens, the Protagonist grows stronger, then continues to recklessly charge forward, continues to sacrifice to the heavens, and continues to level up and become stronger.
If they didn't lower their intelligence, why would the villains have nothing better to do than abandon their roles as holy sons and daughters and go and provoke the Protagonist, Little Karami?
Why not just kill the Protagonist with a single slap, instead of letting Thirty Years East of the River time and giving Protagonist a chance to grow?
It's rare to find a light novel where everyone has a brain, and it's also very difficult to write one.
Therefore, mindless, wish-fulfillment stories are the most common.
If you lower all the characters to an extremely low IQ level, they will all appear to have intelligence.
But villains like Situ Haoyue, whose intelligence has been reduced to such an extreme, are truly rare.
"What kind of attitude is this?" Seeing Ling Yi's almost perfunctory attitude, Situ Haoyue suddenly felt inexplicably angry.
"Um, sorry, I've been traveling all night and I'm not feeling well. I apologize to you, Senior Brother." Ling Yi clasped his hands in a fist salute to Situ Haoyue.
Now I just want to leave Heavenly Mysterious Sect as soon as possible and go to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to find information about the Heavenly Devil. I don't want to waste time on this fool.
Well, the main problem is that although Ling Yi has the original owner's memories, he doesn't have Map of the cultivation world and doesn't know the way.
The Transformers have only covered the area of the Heavenly Mysterious Sect for the time being, and have not radiated outwards.
The main issue is that there's no need to waste all the Transformers in this world.
Satellite in near-Earth orbit and the Heavenly Lightning Attack System deployed can only scan the planet's topography.
But they didn't know which mountain or temple it was.
It requires the cooperation of ground-based Transformers.
But this world is too big, and he doesn't want to become a Xu Xiake (a famous Xu Xiake in the world of cultivation) in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, so there's no need to waste resources on it.
"Hmph, you're just trash, how dare you call me senior brother?" Situ Haoyue said coldly.
"Go back to the servants' quarters yourself, it'll be bad luck to see you."
Is this never going to end?
Ling Yi was never a good-tempered person, nor was he a patient one.
He reached out and grabbed the hilt of the Greatsword behind him, ready to smash the thing to death.
But at that moment, Shen Mengli spoke up, " Eldest Senior Brother, Wang Nan is my husband's elder brother, and also my elder brother. I hope you can show him some respect."
"Since you don't like Wang Nan, then I'll take Wang Nan and train on my own!"
" Brother Nan, let's go!" Shen Mengli said, nodded to Ling Yi, tapped her brow to put away her Flying Sword, and turned to walk down the mountain.
Situ Haoyue only came to her senses at this moment.
Wo Cao, what was I doing just now? Even if I dislike Wang Feng and loathe Wang Nan, I shouldn't have shown it!
This is completely inconsistent with his usual gentle and refined image as the perfect Eldest Senior Brother!
Watching Ling Yi and Shen Mengli's departing the Back, Situ Haoyue clenched his fists, his face grim.
"Damn Wang Feng, damn Wang Nan, I will kill you both!" Situ Haoyue said with a twisted expression.
Normally, he would have thought these words to himself, but now, influenced by the Intelligence-Lowering Aura," he said them aloud.
Situ Haoyue didn't notice was that Jiang Wanqing, who originally harbored feelings for him, involuntarily took two steps back.
The Eldest Senior Brother has dropped.
Jiang Wanqing may be crazy, but she's not stupid.
The Situ Haoyue she liked before was a perfect Eldest Senior Brother who was a gentleman, not a narrow-minded, hypocritical, and crazy Eldest Senior Brother.
No wonder Shen Mengli always kept her distance no matter how much her Eldest Senior Brother pursued her.
It seems that Shen Mengli had already discovered her Eldest Senior Brother's true colors.
Whoever wants to love such a crazy Eldest Senior Brother can love him; Jiang Wanqing doesn't love him anymore.
With that thought in mind, she didn't greet Situ Haoyue, but instead used her movement technique to catch up with Shen Mengli.
By the time Situ Haoyue came to his senses, he was left with only nine servant disciples and himself.
"Damn it!" Situ Haoyue angrily flicked his sleeve, mounted his Flying Sword, and turned to leave.
The other nine servant disciples were left looking at each other, at a loss for what to do.
This opportunity to accompany Shen Mengli on her trial was one that Situ Haoyue had worked very hard to secure.
His goal was to get closer to Shen Mengli and take things further.
However, Wang Nan's presence caused his public image to be tarnished, making Shen Mengli dislike him, and even his junior sister Jiang Wanqing, who had always admired him, despised him.
How could he possibly have the face to follow them again?
Even if I continue to follow them, it will only make them hate me more.
Since he couldn't win Shen Mengli through legitimate means, Situ Haoyue had no choice but to resort to unorthodox methods!
In the valley below Heavenly Water Peak.
Ling Yi, Shen Mengli, and Jiang Wanqing were walking side by side.
And at this moment, the sun is just rising.
The valley runs from east to west, and the entire valley is bathed in the morning sun.
The morning glow casts a soft glow, the mist the Ethereal, the flowers are fragrant, and the peach grove is sweet and refreshing.
It truly made the valley look like Immortal Realm on earth.
The beautiful scenery improved the three people's initially bad mood considerably.
"This place is so beautiful!" Jiang Wanqing exclaimed.
"This is Welcoming Rosy Clouds Valley. It's incredibly beautiful at sunrise and sunset, especially since it's spring-like all year round and flowers bloom constantly. It's a perfect place for sect disciples to express their love in their leisure time."
Shen Mengli, after all, was Revive and knew the Heavenly Mysterious Sect very well.
In her previous life, she often came here for secret rendezvous with her Eldest Senior Brother, Situ Haoyue.
The memory is naturally very vivid.
Unfortunately, Situ Haoyue was just a hypocritical, incompetent good-for-nothing.
They keep saying they love me and are willing to give everything for me, even their lives.
Yet, he abandoned himself several times to save his own life!
In her previous life, Situ Haoyue died in Cloud Heaven City.
He himself died in this Welcoming Rosy Clouds Valley, pierced through the heart by Wang Feng's sword.
She touched her chest, where a faint pain still Yinyin.
"Senior sister is right, this place is indeed suitable for couples to meet!" Jiang Wanqing said with a smile.
Then he looked at Ling Yi, or more precisely, at the Greatsword on Ling Yi's back!
There's no way around it, this sword is just too big, too outrageous.
It was like carrying a door panel on my back.
"Junior Brother Wang Nan's sword looks truly imposing, but I wonder how powerful it is!"
Ling Yi casually remarked, "It's just a showpiece; it looks scary, but it's not even a real magic weapon."
"Junior Brother Wang Nan, you're not being honest! I sensed a fluctuation of Divine Power and a very strange energy Aura emanating from your sword!"
"You're mistaken, this is just an ordinary iron sword!"
This woman's got something wrong with her. Why is she testing me? We're not even acquainted!
In fact, at this moment, both Shen Mengli and Ling Yi felt that Jiang Wanqing was like a third wheel.
Shen Mengli had many questions to ask Ling Yi, and Ling Yi also wanted to take Shen Mengli away from the Heavenly Mysterious Sect as soon as possible and head to a nearby city with the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
Now that Jiang Wanqing is involved, the two of them can't say or do anything, which makes them very depressed.
Jiang Wanqing gave Ling Yi a meaningful look, then asked no further questions.
She discovered that this Wang Nan seemed to be more than just a simple person.
This Greatsword, for example, is definitely not Mortal Pin.
In the world of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, magical artifacts are divided into four levels: Treasure Artifact, Spirit Artifact, Spirit Treasure, Immortal Artifact.
Treasure Artifact are common, Spirit Artifact are rare, Spirit Treasure are hard to find, and Immortal Artifact are even rarer.
Only magical artifacts of the Spirit Artifact or higher can exhibit spiritual fluctuations.
The presence of mental fluctuations proves that the magical artifact possesses power.
Furthermore, the unique energy contained within this sword, which resembles lightning but is not, makes it undoubtedly Spirit Treasure.
Because Spirit Treasure can absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to cultivate themselves, and can contain the power of heaven and earth within themselves.
Shen Mengli didn't notice Ling Yi's sword at first.
But after Jiang Wanqing spoke about it, she also realized that this sword was extraordinary.
This made Shen Mengli even more curious about Wang Nan, her "kindred spirit".
The three of them were not slow.
Jiang Wanqing and Shen Mengli are cultivators; Jiang Wanqing is at the Qi Refining, Fifth Level, and Shen Mengli is at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.
Even without using magic to travel, their physical abilities allow them to move with incredible speed.
As for Ling Yi, needless to say.
The Battle Power of 551 is not just for show.
Around noon, the three of them finally left Heavenly Mysterious Sect Welcoming Rosy Clouds Valley.
After another two hours of Rapid Movement, they finally arrived at Ten Thousand Abundance City, the closest city to the Heavenly Mysterious Sect.
"Does Ten Thousand Abundance City have Heavenly Secrets Pavilion?" Ling Yi asked after taking a sip of wine in a restaurant.
" Ten Thousand Abundance City is too close to the Heavenly Mysterious Sect, so Heavenly Secrets Pavilion won't be built here." Shen Mengli shook her head.
"That's true!" Ling Yi nodded in understanding.
After all, behind the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is the Seven Kills Sect of the Demonic Sect, which is located near the Heavenly Mysterious Sect. If the connection between the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and the Seven Kills Sect is discovered, then the Seven Kills Sect's plans over the years will be ruined.
The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion typically only appears in cities that are relatively far from righteous sects.
Although the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was classified as part of the righteous path.
However, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is in the business of buying and selling information, including secrets between various sects.
"Formal" doesn't mean "serious."
The reason it was classified as a righteous sect is simply because the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has excellent information resources, which is beneficial to the righteous path.
This is an open secret among righteous sects.
We can't just side with the demonic Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, can we?
It must be said that the Seven Kills Sect hid the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion very well.
Not only the righteous sects, but also many demonic sects, were unaware that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion belonged to the Seven Kills Sect of the Demonic Sect sect.
It wasn't until later in the first playthrough that Wang Feng unexpectedly discovered the connection between the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and the Seven Kills Sect.
Only then were the secrets of the Seven Kills Sect Heavenly Secrets Pavilion officially exposed.
"The nearest Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is in Cloud Summit City, which is tens of thousands of miles away from Ten Thousand Abundance City. Let's rest tonight and set off for Cloud Summit City tomorrow."
After Shen Mengli finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Wanqing and said, "Junior Sister, you should travel and undergo trials in Ten Thousand Abundance City!"
Jiang Wanqing glanced at Ling Yi, then at Shen Mengli.
Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
Although this woman was portrayed as crazy and mentally unstable in the original storyline, she was also a smart woman.
She could clearly sense that there was a secret between Ling Yi and Shen Mengli.
