Preaching the Dao and Studying the Slaughter System
After suppressing the Slaughter System and returning to the City of Exile, Liu Yi scanned the entire city with his Divine Sense and discovered that there were now over 30 billion system hosts within the city.
The cultivation levels involved covered various realms, and even newborn infants were included.
It is extremely rare even in the cultivation world for a single city to house so many people; the population of the ten royal cities in the Land of Exile is only around ten million.
The population of the City of Exile is still growing rapidly, with a large number of system hosts pouring in, and only a few choosing to leave.
If this trend continues, the population of the City of Exile will likely exceed 100 billion in the future.
Fortunately, everyone was a cultivator, so there was no need to worry about food and clothing.
If it were an ordinary A Mortal, supporting such a large population would be far too difficult, simply impossible.
Liu Yi stroked his chin, pondering to himself that the population of the City of Exile was already quite large, and the number would continue to rise.
Many system hosts have already reached the Longevity Realm (True Immortal Realm), and it is time for them to open their altars and preach.
After some thought, he decided to schedule his sermon a hundred years after Land of Exile.
In this way, system hosts from all over the world who want to come and listen to the teachings can arrive at their leisure, and even people as far away as the Azure Billows Realm have ample time to come.
Having made up his mind, he spoke loudly, his voice resounding throughout the entire City of Exile:
"A century after my Land of Exile, I, Liu Yi, will open an altar at the ruins of Heavenly Pillar Peak to preach the Dao. Fellow Daoists who are willing to listen to the Great Dao are welcome to come and hear me then."
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire city fell silent. In an instant, countless system hosts gasped in astonishment.
"Was that the voice of Dao Ancestor Liu Yi? He's actually going to preach a hundred years from now!"
"It must be the Dao Ancestor himself; no one in the world would dare to impersonate him, or they would be courting death."
"Excellent! The Dao Ancestor himself is expounding the Dao! Such fortuitous opportunity is rare indeed! I must go and listen to his teachings!"
"This may be Dao Ancestor Liu Yi's first and perhaps last sermon; we absolutely cannot miss it."
"The Dao Ancestor of the Dao Seed Martial Dao System personally expounding the Dao will surely enhance our understanding of the system and its Cultivation Method, allowing us to progress in our cultivation much faster."
"Haha, the Dao Ancestor Liu Yi is finally going to preach! I might have a chance to be accepted as his disciple."
Even if you can't, you can still hear Martial King expert personally preach. Missing such fortuitous opportunity would be a great regret.
"We reside in the City of Exile, and can attend in person to hear the sermon, while those from the Azure Billows Realm can only come to the City of Exile or listen via live stream."
Seeing everyone's reaction, Liu Yi smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
It seems these system hosts are all very much looking forward to their sermons.
There will surely be many people who come to hear the sermon.
You must make proper arrangements in advance, lest the venue be too small to accommodate everyone and cause a laughing stock.
As for the system host of the Azure Billows Realm, there is no need to go and notify them.
Such a momentous event is bound to top the trending topics on social media and will soon spread throughout the world.
Those who wish to come and hear the sermon in person will naturally travel to the Land of Exile; those who do not wish to come can hear the sermon through live broadcast.
He did not want to get too involved in this matter and left it entirely to the people to decide.
With his mind made up, he returned to his Portable Daoist Sanctum and looked at Little Yellow, who was anxiously waiting:
"I'm going into seclusion to cultivate. If you don't wish to stay here, you may leave on your own."
Seeing Liu Yi return, Little Yellow's anxiety immediately subsided.
Seeing him leave in such a hurry, I thought he had encountered something difficult, and I was filled with worry.
"Why did you leave in such a hurry, Master? Did something serious happen?"
Liu Yi smiled slightly, "Just now I found the mysterious powerhouse behind Ye Chen, the leader of the Anti-System Alliance, so I went to capture him."
"Now that I've caught them, I'm going into seclusion to study them."
After a brief pause, he continued:
"I have informed all the system hosts in the City of Exile that a sermon will be held at the Heavenly Pillar Peak Ruins a hundred years from now, and you are welcome to attend."
"Wow! Master is amazing! He actually captured the mysterious powerhouse behind the Anti-System Alliance."
Little Yellow looked at Liu Yi with eyes full of admiration, then asked with a face full of surprise:
"Master, you just said that you would open a sermon a hundred years from now. Is that true?"
"I've already notified all the system hosts in the City of Exile; there's no way it could be false."
Liu Yi glanced at it sideways, patted its head, and turned to leave to study the Slaughter System.
Little Yellow was left standing there, clutching his head and howling.
He returned to his bedroom, sat cross-legged, and retrieved the previously sealed Slaughter System from his Storage Space.
After a moment's thought, he did not rush into research.
He knew that his research into the Slaughter System might alert the person behind it.
To be on the safe side, we must conceal the secrets of Tianji and prevent the other party from discovering them.
He immediately activated the Origin System to conceal the Tianji, and took out the Great Dao Jade Disc, which he hung above his head. The divine light of the Great Dao descended, completely enveloping his entire body and completely concealing all his aura and secrets of Tianji.
With everything in place, he turned his gaze to the Slaughter System, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
This is the second true system he has studied, and this time he can disassemble it for detailed research, unlike the Demon-Slaying and Devil-Exterminating System which can only be observed but not disassembled.
He released his Divine Sense to gradually explore and study the outer layer of the Slaughter System.
It was formed by fifty-three Great Dao Principle interwoven and surrounding it, condensing into a circular protective barrier to resist outside prying eyes.
Unfortunately, he has already breached it, rendering it useless for defense.
After careful study, he discovered that this defensive method was far inferior to the Demon-Slaying and Devil-Exterminating System and could be described as rudimentary.
That is precisely why he was able to easily infiltrate its core and completely suppress the Slaughter System.
Although its overall defense is weak, it has its merits and can be integrated into Fairness System to improve its defensive capabilities.
After studying the outer defenses, Liu Yi turned his attention to the core of the Slaughter System.
A jet-black sphere of light floated silently, emanating the original aura of the Great Dao of Slaughter, with fifty-three Great Dao Principle connected to it.
Among them, the three Great Dao Principle of Slaughter, Creation, and Cause and Effect have reached the level of the Middle Chiliocosm, while the remaining Great Dao Principle are only at the level of the Small Chiliocosm.
He focused intently on examining the black orb of light and discovered that it was the source of killing energy, not directly condensed from the World Origin.
In this way, the potential of the Slaughter System is greatly reduced, but the difficulty of advancing is also reduced.
The core of the Demon-Slaying and Devil-Exterminating System is formed from the World Origin, similar to the Heart of the Heavenly Dao, and its potential far exceeds that of the Slaughter System.
Whether in terms of its core essence or the Great Dao Principle it embodies, the Slaughter System is far inferior to the Demon-Slaying and Devil-Exterminating System; the two are simply not on the same level.
Moreover, the structure of the Slaughter System gave Liu Yi the feeling that it was mass-produced on an assembly line.
Upon thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the System World mentioned by the Slaughter System earlier, and his expression froze as he secretly speculated:
Could there really be such a thing as System World?
If System World truly exists, the beings within it are likely all system-based life forms.
And this Slaughter System might actually be a mass-produced product.
