...
This question has puzzled him for a long time.
There was never an answer!
Until the arrival of the little fox, there was an answer.
Peeping into the future allows one to not only see their own future but also the future of certain individuals.
If it involves some celestial secret or hidden matter, it may not be possible to see.
But if it involves unimportant or ordinary matters, it can be perceived.
"A Golden Core Cultivator naturally cannot sense the Immortal Realm, let alone descend divine thought into the Immortal Realm. However, if there is an artifact of an Immortal, and this artifact is worshipped, it can subtly attract an Immortal from the Upper Realm to sense it, and then a trace of divine thought can be descended into the Immortal Realm!"
The little fox said, "Sects that have produced Immortals or cultivators who have obtained the Immortal’s inheritance have a certain probability of achieving the Golden Core Tenth Transformation."
Lu Xuanji frowned and said, "Only a certain probability!"
The little fox said, "Of course! Even my Qingqiu lineage had Immortals. Back then, I used an Immortal artifact to descend a trace of divine thought into the Immortal Realm, but ultimately failed to achieve the Golden Core Tenth Transformation. I saw the full view of the Immortal Realm, but afterwards, I forgot it!"
"There is a vast cause and effect in the Immortal Realm. If one’s destiny isn’t enough, and luck isn’t enough, even if you see the full view of the Immortal Realm, you might forget in the next moment."
"To remember the full view of the Immortal Realm, one must have a strong Divine Soul."
"What is the Eleventh Transformation?" Lu Xuanji asked.
"Unspeakable!"
The little fox said, "I must leave now. If I continue to stay with you, my aunt will take action, and the Golden Crow lineage will take action, and you cannot withstand it! When you reach the Golden Core Nine Transformations, I will come to aid you then!"
Saying this, the little fox vanished.
Leaving as she spoke, without any hesitation.
"She just left like that, not even giving a farewell hug!"
Lu Xuanji said, feeling a faint sadness in his heart.
"It’s good she left like this. If she stayed, we wouldn’t be able to handle certain disasters!" Jin Xi said, "Whether it’s the Qingqiu Clan Leader or the Golden Crow Demon Emperor, we can’t withstand them! Do you really think, with a Golden Core Fourth Transformation cultivation, you can leap ranks to defeat a Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul?"
"Is she safe outside?"
Lu Xuanji asked worriedly.
"She is at the First Layer of Nascent Soul, while you are only at the Golden Core Fourth Transformation. Such worry is unnecessary!" Jin Xi said calmly, "The path of the strong is to rise amidst bloody battles, to walk one’s own path in the midst of fighting. She has her own path."
Lu Xuanji fell silent.
The little fox also understood this. As soon as her injuries healed, she left.
If she stayed, and the master of Qingqiu attacked, the Lu Family would be directly destroyed.
At that time, what would he use to hold them off?
Simply because his head is hard, because his will is firm?
Or rely on the so-called rules and agreements between the Human Race and the Demon Race.
Trying to use these so-called rules to restrain a Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul demon strongman is almost a dream.
The so-called rules and order cannot restrain such strongmen at all.
What can bind them is only interest.
Therefore, when facing the powerful and top masters, don’t talk to them about law and morals, they couldn’t care less; you need to speak of interests, this and that, how much benefit it can bring, how much harm it can bring.
Only this way will those powerful figures be inclined to listen.
In the past life, there was a debate about whether the crime rate was higher among the poor or the rich?
Many pseudo-experts said naturally the crime rate among the poor was higher.
In prisons, eighty percent of the population are poor, mainly peasants.
The pseudo-experts even directly said that the weaker groups are more likely to fall into violent crime paths than stronger groups. The reason is that the rich treasure life more, unwilling to risk their lives to gain everything, while the poor are willing to test the law in order to survive. That is to say, a person with wealth will not kill or plunder for basic survival, while the poor might kill for a meal.
Thus, some pseudo-experts clamored that abolishing the death penalty to a certain extent protects the weaker groups and is beneficial to the weak.
Listening roughly, it seems reasonable, but upon closer inspection, it makes no sense.
Eighty percent in prison are poor, not because the rich have better morals and obey the law, but in the capitalist society. Money is power, having money equals having power. The rich can use their wealth to smooth over relationships to avoid prison and death. If they encounter the death penalty, they can flee abroad in advance.
The rich cherish life, they won’t personally take a knife to kill but will hire some people to do it.
Some never kill themselves, but countless people have died because of them, this is the crime of the upper class.
Similarly, a high crime rate among the poor often means that the poor are so poor they can’t have a meal, starving, can you expect the poor to respect the law in such circumstances? Is this possible?
After solving the issue of food and clothing for the poor, they seldom commit crimes, at most some illegal acts, borderline acts.
They fear the law, because if they really go in, no one will bail them out.
If sentenced to death, it truly becomes a death sentence.
But the rich aren’t afraid of the law, as long as the profit is high enough, they can easily trample on the law. On one hand, someone will bail them out, on the other hand, they can immigrate and flee.
In a foreign country, they remain carefree, with very low crime costs.
Even in certain capitalist societies, some capitalists have bribed numerous professors, controlled public opinion, manipulated the judiciary, amended laws, abolished some laws at the national level, which was very successful in the previous life, with 105 countries abolishing the death penalty, legally trampling the law underfoot.
In the past, after a certain powerful person committed a crime, they needed to constantly maneuver through connections, constantly use connections, and then bail someone out, also suppress public opinion.
Only in this way could a certain powerful person avoid the death penalty.
But in countries that abolished the death penalty, after committing a crime, they don’t need to navigate connections, don’t need to waste connections, don’t need to bail someone out, don’t need to flee and immigrate, and don’t need to suppress public opinion.
Enter prison, and a certain powerful person still receives five-star service, accompanied by beauty, eating steak, having a great time.
...
The past life was a capitalist society, where power and money were supreme.
But in the Cultivation Immortality World, cultivation is supreme.
At first glance, the two societies seem different, but in essence, they are the same.
In the cultivation realm, Qi Refining Cultivators, Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Purple Mansion Cultivators, are pressed by various rules, can’t do this, can’t do that, if violated, they will be severely punished;
But once reaching the Golden Core, general sect rules cannot bind Golden Core Cultivators.
As long as this Golden Core does not betray the sect, as long as they don’t do outrageous deeds, many sect rules are useless to him.
As for the Qingqiu Lord and the Golden Crow Demon Emperor at that level, there are no rules or vows that can bind them, only interest can bind them.
If these two bosses directly attack the Lu Family, intending to destroy the entire Lu Family.
Who will uphold justice after annihilating the Lu Family!
Counting on those Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Human Race?
Think again!
"If I were a Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul, the little fox would definitely stay. I am still too weak!" Lu Xuanji sighed.
