"I don't know!"
Lao Cao shook his head and said, "All identity information regarding the Zhan Gui Ren is absolutely confidential. Even the Thirteenth Division does not have the authority to access their files!"
He had no need to lie in front of Zuo Ci. He truly did not know.
Zuo Ci nodded, expressing regret, "If I could use the Three Souls and Seven Spirits of those six Dao Realm beings as the soul of my precious banner, how wonderful that would be!"
Lao Cao immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Those were not just any ordinary beings; they were from the Dao Realm! This represented the pinnacle of combat power in Huaxia. Zhu Guo Chong Yan symbolized National Fortune.
To be honest, these six individuals were indeed powerful enough to force out all the hidden cards of my Paper Man, which I had refined for ten years. I would call them the strongest!
Zuo Ci chuckled and gave a thumbs-up.
What was with this sudden burst of enthusiasm? Lao Cao looked at Zuo Ci suspiciously. Something felt off—very off!
"Have you heard of the concept of good and evil fate?" Zuo Ci asked as he squatted on a stone stool, smiling.
"The Ten Heavenly Mandates?" Lao Cao nodded. "When I was serving as an officer in the Thirteenth Division, there was an incident involving the Ten Strange Fates. It involved a target codenamed Chiming Fate, who was born with the ability to manipulate Chiming Fire."
This was a type of black flame that could autonomously protect its user, representing annihilation and death. Anyone who approached the target, whether consciously or unconsciously, would be burned to ashes by Chiming Fire.
At that time, my master was on the verge of breaking through to the Dao Realm but accidentally entered the target's autonomous defense zone and was turned to ash by Chiming Fire. That target then vanished from public view, and the director of the Thirteenth Division pored over many ancient texts, discovering references to the Ten Heavenly Mandates within them.
It is said that there are ten fates capable of altering the heavens and the earth, each one a trendsetter of its time. For instance, the fate of the Ancient Emperor, known as the Zi Wei Emperor Fate, is one of the most common among the Ten Heavenly Mandates. Those born under this fate possess an innate protection of Imperial Way and Dragon Qi, making them impervious to malevolent forces.
Indeed! Zuo Ci smiled and said, "The Ten Heavenly Mandates bestow unique abilities and extraordinary talents upon their bearers. My own fate allows me to split my consciousness, akin to a person with a mental disorder."
A single thought can lead to evil or goodness. Evil thoughts draw upon the karma of slaughter to enhance one's cultivation, while good thoughts require the accumulation of merit to grow stronger.
I once joined the Tian Yi Dao to secretly learn their Zhan San Shi technique, which allows one to sever evil thoughts and utilize the Zang Shen Method to forge a true "Evil Self."
The Zang Shen Method? Lao Cao felt a heaviness in his heart. The so-called Zang Shen technique is essentially an attempt at immortality through Evil Arts.
The Daoist Sect's Neijing states: The organs of a person correspond to their innate nature and harbor the spirit. This includes: spirit, soul, po (corporeal soul), qi (vital energy), and essence.
The heart houses the spirit as fire; the liver contains the soul as wood; the lungs hold the po as metal; the spleen stores qi as earth; and the kidneys conceal essence as water. The Zang Shen Technique utilizes the organs and souls of those with innate fates to supplement the Flesh God’s longevity through Evil Arts.
Fire Seeker draws from the heart's spirit.
Wood Elemental draws from the liver's soul.
Gold Fate Bearer draws from the lung's po.
Earthly Fate Bearer draws from the spleen's qi.
Water Fate Bearer draws from the kidney's essence.
This method is excessively harmful to heaven and earth and has been explicitly forbidden by many within Daoist Sect.
Rest assured, you know me—I possess a naturally Bodhisattva Heart!
With a faint smile, Zuo Ci said, "I will not engage in actions that harm the heavens and the earth. Such deeds hold no merit for my cultivation. Look at this body of mine; I haven't even practiced the Azure Wind Antelope!"
Lao Cao's eyes flashed, bright and clear as water. He possessed a natural ability to see through all illusions. From Zuo Ci's body, he not only failed to detect any traces of Yin Qi or malevolence, but he also sensed a hidden Thunder Technique, a true essence.
"You practice the Thunder Technique?" Lao Cao asked in surprise.
"Why not?" Zuo Ci chuckled. "I am skilled in Deviant Arts, yet I do not tread the Evil Path. Techniques have no inherent righteousness or wickedness; it all depends on one's heart!"
"How virtuous!" Lao Cao exclaimed.
"My dark thought clone has been cultivated to perfection; let them believe that Daoist Zuo has perished. I now walk the world with benevolence. In the realm of good and evil, there is goodness within evil and evil within goodness."
