Captain Chu’s words surprised the three of them, especially Lu Yang, who thought of more things.
When I first entered the Wendao Sect, I was given a rough map of the sect, which marked the area of the sect as one hundred thousand miles in radius. What does one hundred thousand miles mean? That's larger than ten Earths spread out!
Considering the methods of the great masters in the Refinement Stage and the Fusion Stage described in the classics, only a place this large can allow them to let go and display their magical powers.
The sect has many forbidden areas, most of which are used by powerful cultivators for battles. Those with insufficient cultivation will die if they touch the edge.
When we entered the sect, the eldest senior sister said, "The sect cannot be explained in a few words. You can explore it gradually in the future." It was not because she was too lazy to introduce it. The Dao Sect is indeed so large that it needs to be explored step by step.
Thinking about it this way, the Wendao Sect might be the result of spreading out several planets!
The area occupied by the Wendao Sect is only a corner of the Central Continent. It is hard to imagine how big the Central Continent is!
Captain Chu continued, "In ancient times, there were tens of thousands of stars with life, or even more. The exact number is no longer verifiable."
"In ancient times, when the monks cultivated to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, they could fly from one star to another without the help of magic weapons. At that time, damaged stars could be seen everywhere in the universe. Those were the destruction caused by the monks' fighting!"
"The prosperity of the ancient times is truly fascinating. How many myths and legends were born at that time, and how many great immortals were created."
"At that time, when the immortal cultivators competed in strength, they looked at how many planets they could destroy with one strike, and when they competed in power, they compared how many life planets they had under their command."
"When the ancient world was at its peak, there was a being who took action. He refined the stars in the sky into an entire continent. No planet, whether it was a planet with life or a planet without life, could escape his clutches."
"The Central Continent is full of vitality because it was once a star of life, the most suitable place for cultivation!"
"The vast ocean east of the Central Continent was once a star covered by sea water."
"The golden Buddhist country west of the Central Continent was once an uninhabitable dead star."
"The same is true for the Southern Demon Realm and the Far North."
Captain Chu's words refreshed the cognition of Lu Yang and the other two. They had never thought that the land under their feet was a star that had been refined by someone!
This was beyond their imagination!
"Who refined the stars?" Lu Yang asked.
Captain Chu shook his head. It was not because Lu Yang’s level was not high enough, but because he really didn’t know: “The true identity cannot be verified, but what is certain is that the person is definitely an immortal!”
This kind of transcendental power is definitely not something that can be achieved in the Tribulation Crossing Stage!
"Why that being wanted to refine the stars into continents, and what methods he used, are all unsolved mysteries."
Captain Chu continued, "What is certain is that the existence's methods of refining the stars are extremely brutal and merciless. How many people living on the stars can survive after fiddling with them? Even ordinary cultivators would have a hard time surviving."
"Those who survived did so not because of their high cultivation level, but because of good luck!"
“The rising geniuses and powerful men who tried to stop him were all beaten into blood mist by that being and escaped into the cycle of reincarnation.”
"Fortunately, the Immortal Immortal intervened and saved most of the human race, which prevented the human race from being extinct."
"The great world that was once prosperous to the extreme collapsed, and for a long time no genius was seen."
"It is unknown where that being is, but he is definitely not dead. When the great age comes, that being might appear. If he goes on a killing spree, who can stop him?"
"Only the Immortal Immortal!"
"So for both public and private reasons, we must all revive the immortal immortal!"
"Only a small number of people will die if the Immortal Immortal is resurrected. If the Immortal Immortal is not resurrected, perhaps the entire human race will be destroyed!"
"How despicable! Those who think they are in the right path are righteous, but they don't know that we, the Immortal Sect, are also sacrificing ourselves for the human race!"
Captain Chu spoke in a decisive tone, his eyes revealing determination.
From a moral point of view, they kill to save others. From their own perspective, they have legitimate reasons to kill and feel at ease.
The reason why the Immortal Cult only recruits people from the magic sect is because this set of rhetoric is the most in line with the psychology of magic monks.
Lu Yang was shocked. Just listening to Captain Chu's remarks, he was afraid that he was really madly believing in the immortal immortal and praying for the immortal to save the world.
What Captain Chu said was not necessarily true, or it was only part of the truth. Lu Yang did not believe that the Wendao Sect knew nothing about ancient things, and he did not believe that the senior sister was unprepared for this.
Meng Jingzhou asked: "If that's the case, why don't we cooperate with Zhengdao? Wouldn't it be easier to succeed if we all work together?"
Captain Chu sneered: "Who can guarantee that the existence of the star refining at that time was not hidden in the righteous way?"
"After some research, the founder of the sect believes that the person who refines the stars is in the right way, either in the Five Great Immortal Sects or in the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Why does the Righteous Path advocate order? Isn't it to allow more people to practice and make the Central Continent more prosperous?"
"But what happens after the prosperity? Don't forget the tragic experience at the end of the ancient times."
"Perhaps that being enjoys harvesting lives, and will strike again when life flourishes again!"
What Captain Chu said is the mainstream view of the Immortal Religion.
Captain Chu added, "The stars above our heads seem to be hanging in the sky, but if you have reached a certain level of cultivation and fly to the universe to see them, you will find that they are all residual images left over from ancient times. In theory, there are some stars that slip through the net and exist, but they are definitely not too many."
Captain Chu said so much just because he hoped that Lu Yang and the other two would truly believe in the immortal immortal. Judging from their surprised expressions, there should be no problem.
"Okay, I know this information has brought too much of a shock to you. Go back and digest it."
"Also, the three of you performed well in the three tests. Right now, the helm is in need of people, and most people are resting in their cells. You have all reached the foundation-building stage, and meet the criteria for becoming deacons. I have considered promoting you to deacons."
Captain Chu gave the three people three badges, representing their identities as deacons of the Immortal Sect.
In fact, Captain Chu wanted Lu Yang and the other two to become deacons from the beginning. Only those who became deacons would be qualified to know the series of events that happened just now.
Captain Chu suggested: "By the way, now that you are all right, you can go visit your fellow prisoners. I heard that the food in prison is not good. Sending them some food can help build relationships."
The demons are selfish, but they also clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment. There is intrigue among the people below, so it is not easy for him to be the helmsman.
However, what Captain Chu was worried about was not that his subordinates would compete with Lu Yang and the other two, but that his subordinates would be killed by Lu Yang and the other two.
Lu Yang smiled widely: "We are all brothers from the same sect. We will definitely unite as one and work together to revive the immortal immortal. Please rest assured, Captain."
For some reason, Captain Chu felt uneasy after hearing this.
