On the Path of Cultivation, Aptitude Reigned Supreme

"I'm afraid this is all an act."

A powerful member of the Tai Clan chuckled and said.

"Although we don't know who did it, judging from the current situation, it certainly couldn't have been the Ancestor."

"According to our ancestors' records, our forefathers diligently sought the reasons for controlling these things."

However, what can ultimately be discovered is extremely limited.

"If they really knew these things, how could they not tell their clansmen?"

A powerful member of the Tai Clan glanced at the Huaxia Sect and snorted coldly.

"I'm afraid it's still a conspiracy by his Huaxia Sect."

"They simply want to confirm that our Tai Clan truly possesses this so-called Immortal-Slaying Power."

Some powerful members of the Tai Clan looked thoughtful as they spoke.

"This story might be fake, but the details do seem to make some sense."

"Think about it, isn't that right?"

He was somewhat skeptical of the person who slapped him, but he nodded nonetheless.

Although it remains difficult to distinguish between true and false, it does explain one thing.

Their Tai Clan back then was Tai Bufan, and his story indeed aligns very well with some of the points mentioned above.

It is precisely that "mortal body" that is mentioned.

Before he mastered the Power That Cannot Be Controlled, he had no cultivation whatsoever, and had even been neglected because of it.

However, after he mastered the Power That Cannot Be Controlled, his talent became in the area of this Power That Cannot Be Controlled, rather than in spiritual power.

As for the inability to cultivate, it was only briefly mentioned in the clan's records.

"So that's how it is."

A powerful figure from the Huaxia Sect couldn't help but speak up.

"If what's written here is true, then we've been trying things in the wrong direction all along."

For so many years, the Tai Clan has been trying to master this Power That Cannot Be Controlled.

And those who drive all of this are basically the people who hold the power of discourse within the Tai Clan.

Although some clansmen who had not yet begun cultivating spiritual power had also been sent to try.

But now that I think about it, the real key probably lies with those who simply cannot cultivate spiritual power.

However, the matter of cultivation can be determined very early on. Very young children will not feel anything after entering, nor will they go far, so it is rarely considered.

As for the larger ones, perhaps they can go further.

However, those who are tall but have never been able to cultivate spiritual power, or those clansmen whose aptitude for cultivation is too mediocre, have long been no longer within the scope of attention or concern.

These things were easy for the powerful Tai Clan members present to figure out, since that's how things have been done for so long.

But knowing all this now, I can't help but feel complicated.

If that's really the case, then it's actually the Tai Clan that's been going in the wrong direction all along.

On the Huaxia Sect's side.

The vast majority of strong individuals reacted with relief.

Because long ago, the Supreme Ancestor had told them not to focus their minds on this Land That Cannot Be Controlled, nor to try to control Land That Cannot Be Controlled.

Now it seems that the reason is probably precisely this.

They had already cultivated spiritual power, so it seemed they were ill-suited to coexist with this so-called Immortal-Slaying Land.

After reading the contents, Xia Xun turned to Xia Xiao and asked him a question via telepathy.

"Ancestor, these must be true, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiao responded with a reply.

"I can't be sure whether the contents of this are true or false."

An expression of disbelief flashed across Xia Xun's face.

"These things, even you, Ancestor, have never heard of?"

Xia Xiao nodded.

"Few people know about these things to begin with, and they are intentionally controlling the scope of those who know."

"But talking about the distant future is much more general than this detailed explanation."

All I know is that these powers cause significant and direct harm to cultivators and spiritual energy.

"Furthermore, those who cultivate spiritual power cannot cultivate this kind of power."

"However, it hasn't been specified who is capable of cultivating this power, but it certainly isn't something a mortal would describe in this content."

Xia Xun nodded.

The force with which he threw that thing was indeed beyond the capabilities of an ordinary human.

After a pause, Xia Xun suddenly spoke up again.

"Could it be that this so-called Immortal-Slaying Power is what can turn this mortal body into that state?"

"If that's the case..."

As he spoke, Xia Xun's expression also became more serious.

As the leader of the Huaxia Sect, he was very clear that if this were true, it would mean something far from trivial.

At this moment, after observing everyone's reactions, Gu De turned to Tai Jiuling beside him and said...

"Don't you have anything to say?"

Tai Jiuling smiled and said.

There are some things I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to say.

"If you're willing to speak on my behalf, that would be wonderful."

Tell me about it.

Gu De said.

After listening to what Tai Jiuling wanted him to say on her behalf, Gu De couldn't help but give Tai Jiuling a deep look and said.

"It seems you just want to stir up trouble in the world."

Tai Jiuling smiled and said.

"Don't you want Li Baimei to be in a complete mess?"

Gu De remained silent.

His gaze shifted from Tai Jiuling and returned to the others.

A moment later, his voice resounded once again throughout the heavens and earth.

"Gentlemen, in the path of cultivation, those with exceptional talent reign supreme; those without cultivation are as worthless as blades of grass."

"Have you ever considered how those useless people in your factions who are incapable of cultivation would affect the strength of your forces once they master this Immortal-Slaying Power?"

These words immediately interrupted the thoughts of most people present, causing them to turn their attention to the matter at hand.

In an instant, many people felt as if they had been enlightened.

Someone's face lit up with joy, and they exclaimed excitedly.

"Among my many sons, so many have extremely poor aptitude. Could they all be capable of wielding this Immortal-Slaying Power?"

"Given the influence of this Immortal-Slaying Power on cultivators, even if half of them master it, our Xu Clan will likely be able to roam freely in the surrounding areas from then on."

Some people looked regretful and sighed.

"Hao'er can't cultivate spiritual power. I once thought of bringing him here to take a look."

"But then things got so busy that I forgot about it."

"If we had brought him back then, perhaps he would have already mastered the Immortal-Slaying Power by now."

Some people, unlike the others who were excited, frowned and stared at Gu De in the distance.

After a long while, he shook his head and said to the person beside him.

"I feel that the ancestor of this Tai Clan was purely evil."

Those nearby couldn't help but cast curious glances at him upon hearing this.

Why is it described as purely bad?

The man said.

"Think about it, what is the status of those who cannot cultivate spiritual power among cultivators?"

When you meet ordinary people on a daily basis, do you treat them as human beings?

Upon hearing this, the bystander pondered for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise.

"If that's the case, and they gain control of this power that threatens cultivators, wouldn't those narrow-minded mortals be extremely vengeful?!"
