A tragedy

Bai Mo sat on the sofa and took a breath, seemingly frowning in thought. Every now and then, he would glance at Arcueid with a strange look, making Arcueid feel very uneasy.

"Give me a straight answer if you're going to hit or scold me! This makes me feel like I didn't cause any trouble. If this is your punishment, it's incredibly twisted!"

With a hint of despair, Arcueid stomped her foot and roared.

"No, you really didn't cause any trouble... and why would you think that? You encountered an Ultimate powerhouse, and you're already doing well without any problems. Why would you feel like you made a mistake?"

Upon hearing this, Arcueid raised her head, her previously agitated demeanor vanishing instantly, replaced by a gentle expression.

Bai Mo gestured for her to sit down and tapped her on the head.

"What did I tell you before? Don't compare your own happiness to others, especially since this is your life. You did nothing wrong. Being targeted by an Ultimate powerhouse and surviving unscathed is the best you can hope for."

Rather, if you refuse and Leiao comes knocking on your door, that would be truly the end for you.

"But..."

"There's no 'but' about it. What's wrong with someone giving up some things to survive? If I were to scold you for something like that, I'd be a damn jerk."

Love is important to people, but it's definitely not everything in life. I'm genuinely happy that you were able to make that choice; it seems you've matured not only in terms of money but also in your mindset.

After pouring two cups of hot tea, Arcueid could clearly sense the seriousness in Bai Mo's words as he looked at Bai Mo's satisfied smile.

There are some people in the world who view the love others have for them as a guarantee that the other person should unconditionally support them.

Imagine someone truly loves another person, but that person believes that because they love them, they should make sacrifices for them and never do anything to harm their interests, even if the price is their life.

What an absurd deal! It's a scale utterly devoid of any justice, yet some people hold onto it tightly, even regarding it as the truth.

Such people can never put themselves in others' shoes, are always self-centered, arbitrarily use other people's feelings as a reason to hurt them, and completely disregard other people's feelings.

Bai Mo spoke calmly, as if stating a common but undeniable fact. He would rather be the one who took advantage of Arcueid's feelings for him, making all sorts of demands on her, and becoming displeased and reprimanding her for any losses she caused him.

So, I'd better just die already. If someone like that died, Bai Mo would definitely be overjoyed.

He picked up the hot tea, then looked at Arcueid's tearful face; the atmosphere seemed somewhat eerie. Then, a beam of light appeared, power surged, and a figure appeared behind Arcueid.

Upon seeing Crimson Moon again after so long, Bai Mo felt, for some reason, that Crimson Moon's gaze had softened, even becoming gentler. Was it because they hadn't seen each other for so long?

"You're really easygoing, but at least this time, I genuinely think that forming an alliance with you is a good thing. Let's leave this matter aside for now. Just now you seemed a bit concerned about that book, ' The Ryougi Lataib.' Is there a problem?"

Crimson Moon patted Arcueid, who was suppressing his emotions, and asked Bai Mo.

"Before that, let me confirm first that you really did hand over that copy of ' The Ryougi Lataib,' the one I copied for you, right?"

With a wave of her hand, Crimson Moon conjured up the copy of "The Ryougi Lataib" that Bai Mo had copied.

Upon seeing this book, Bai Mo slapped himself in the face, his expression complex, and let out a deep sigh.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Well, it's hard to explain in detail. You'll understand once you experience it."

Bai Mo reached out and quietly began to circulate his cultivation technique. The Ryougi Lataib had very low requirements for the number of coins; it could be activated simply by Electric Current Push. Crimson Moon and Arcueid placed their fingers on Bai Mo's wrist, and after a short while, Crimson Moon's expression became quite interesting.

"Why... is it different?"

Crimson Moon was stunned. The steps Bai Mo took to activate the Ryougi Lataib, such as the output and flow of energy, were completely different from Arcueid's.

Bai Mo sighed and held up his finger to explain:

"First of all, this technique is quite special. In essence, it creates an environment around oneself by activating one's own power. It requires extremely high control over that power, which is why it is so dependent on the Complete Realm."

Crimson Moon frowned slightly and asked:

"What does this have to do with the different cultivation methods?"

"It's extremely important. This thing operates in a very complex way, involving numerous meridians and acupoints in the human body, and it might even have some requirements for the Primordial Spirit. Even the slightest mistake in circulating the energy could lead to direct failure."

At this point, Crimson Moon's expression also became somewhat subtle. Looking at the two people with similar expressions, Arcueid suddenly felt like an outsider.

"What's with this feeling that I'm the only one who doesn't know about?"

Then, both of them looked at Arcueid with complicated expressions, Bai Mo explained:

"This ' Ryougi Lataib ' requires fully mobilizing the body's acupoints, meridians, and so on, and there can be no slightest mistake. Moreover, this thing may be related to the soul, so even if the meridians are adjusted to make the power flow smoothly, it is very likely to lead to failure."

"So what?"

Do you even consider yourself human?

Bai Mo and Crimson Moon asked Arcueid in unison, and Arcueid was stunned upon hearing this.

She is True Ancestor, and an extremely special True Ancestor. Although her physical structure is indeed human, in reality, whether it is the width of her meridians, the power exerted by her acupoints, or even her soul, she is vastly different from humans.

It's not even fair to say they're worlds apart; her Primordial Spirit doesn't even have Magnetic Field Power, and her power comes from Crimson Moon.

Therefore, if you were to compare this "Ryougi Lataib" that Bai Mo tailored specifically for her with the "Ryougi Lataib" practiced by normal humans, there would be almost no matching words in the details.

"Yes, I am a vampire."

"Yes, that's why I wrote all those cultivation methods in books. After all, what I know are all human methods of cultivating energy. If it were you, you would need to create something new."

Otherwise, wouldn't it have been easier for me to directly transmit the technique to you through Magnetic Field Power? But that way, you would be affected by my understanding and perception of the technique, so I modified and hand-copied it according to your physical structure. This way, it's even faster."

Bai Mo waved his hand, and said with a hint of doubt:

"Didn't you notice? Wasn't the ' Sword of Hell ' that Senior Hell gave you a paper copy back then?"

Bai Mo's words struck them like a thunderclap. Yes, back then, Hell could have directly allowed them to comprehend it, so why did they specifically make a copy?

Arcueid quickly recalled the events of that day, and it seemed that at that time, Dark Leiao's somewhat puzzled expression had an explanation.

Inside the Strongman Space, the Giant Shark curled its lip and said:

"No matter what, Leiao is at the Ultimate cultivation. Just by looking at this woman's internal energy, he should be able to understand this."

A slightly Bai Wunan laugh came from the air, "She doesn't know how."

At this moment, the Giant Shark was also stunned. Yes, because Arcueid was only at the beginner level, even though the Ultimate powerhouse's Complete Realm could see through any technique at a glance, she was only at the beginner level and had not yet reached any deeper level.

In other words, what Dark Leiao saw at that time was a technique that seemed feasible, but whose details were completely unsuitable for human cultivation; moreover, the Arcueid in front of him was only a beginner in this technique and had only scratched the surface.

Perhaps he was particularly interested in the idea that it could change the environment, since this was something that had never been done before, so he accepted it with some skepticism.

If the real person were present, he would surely have noticed the problem, but unfortunately, it was just a stone tablet used for communication across time.

Arcueid was still somewhat incredulous; the contrast was too great, leaving her momentarily speechless. She asked tentatively:

"So... if that book, ' The Ryougi Lataib,' were to be distributed and used by people..."

"If humans practice according to your manual, they can theoretically succeed, but in reality, it will kill people. It's fortunate that Leiao realized this after trying it out himself."

But if he insists that this thing actually works, contradicting what I wrote about 'self-splitting the Primordial Spirit and dissipating power', or even if he modifies it himself...

While it's certainly possible for him to understand given his martial arts experience and intelligence, his 'initial data' is completely wrong; the more likely outcome is...

In the distant, Azure Radiance Galaxy, a person who had unexpectedly gained Magnetic Field Power had a hideous face. His features were completely distorted, his meridians were broken, and blood spurted out.

"You heartless monster! How long are you going to torture me? This thing is a malevolent art that harms people! I think you just want to torture me to satisfy your perverted desires. I'd rather die than let you have your way!"

With a bang, the person in front of him exploded into a cloud of blood mist, but soon, the blood mist began to gather, reviving him.

He looked up at the person above, as if he were looking at a demon.

"Don't worry, my wisdom tells me this will work. It's alright, just try it one more time. With me here, you won't die."

As your teacher, I understand. I haven't felt this kind of dedication to tackling difficult problems in a long time.

Dark Leiao held the "erroneous data" book with great interest, circulating his energy as he examined it. He already knew that this thing was most likely problematic, but his wisdom and intuition told him that it was feasible.

With his own wisdom, comprehending the truth is only a matter of time. Just like a player who deliberately abandons powerful equipment to challenge a boss, reaching the Ultimate cultivation level and acquiring resources are not problems at all. For him, the Ryougi Lataib Unraveling is actually dispensable.

But the sense of challenge in delving into the mysteries of martial arts brought him great pleasure.

"Finally, we've found something interesting. This will also benefit you. If you have this skill, your future achievements will be limitless."

So get up and start training! Back in the day, so many people begged to become my disciple, Leiao, but none of them could resist."

He was saying encouraging words, but the expressions on the faces of the people below were twisted like monsters; to his ears, these words didn't sound like encouragement at all.

It's more like hoping that this toy of yours won't break down too quickly.

"Alright, next I'll abolish your magnetic field cultivation, and then tear apart your Primordial Spirit..."
