Chapter 7214 The Mara Hegemon Body Scripture

“There’s what now?”

“I have received some reports about the North Sea Silver Fox race. It seems they are being targeted by many different forces. From the human race, there are major players like the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect, the Underworld Ghost Gate, the Cult of Mara, and others.

“I should mention that the ones who became dogs of the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect were just one branch of the Underworld Ghost Gate. This time, it’s the Underworld Ghost Ancestral Gate, their headquarters. Overall, they are no weaker than the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect.

“Actually, they must be coming for the karmic luck dragon manifestation, like everybody else, but I think another reason very well might be to demand an explanation from the Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect, as well as you. I mean... The Heaven’s Peer Dao Sect used their branch, and then you destroyed it. These are all facts. So the Underworld Ghost Gate will not be friendly...

“As for the Cult of Mara, they were an extremely powerful force back in the primal chaos era. They are body cultivators, and they practice the Mara Hegemon Body Scripture. From what I know, this is claimed to be the greatest of all purely physical cultivation arts. The practitioners’ bodies become comparable to divine weapons, and rumors say that at the highest level of this scripture, the physical body exists on the same level as the Dao. As long as the Dao exists, the body cannot be destroyed.

“But the Cult of Mara is evil; there’s no other word for it. The source of power for their cultivation comes from refining the flesh and blood of other experts, and they kill indiscriminately. Humans, demons, outsider devils, and everything else. Everybody alive is just prey to them.

“Back in the primal chaos era, due to their arrogance, they even hunted the geniuses of the violet blood, Jiuli, and Heavenly Eye races. That enraged the three races, and they hunted down the Cult of Mara and almost wiped them out. During the primal chaos war, the remnants completely vanished. Now they’ve returned, and it appears that they have hundreds of millions of peak heavenly geniuses.

“I suspect that they seized as many... cultivation resources as they could during the primal chaos war, then went into hibernation. Since they dare to show up in the open, it means they’re not afraid of the violet blood race and the others anymore.”

Long Chen nodded. He already knew about the Underworld Ghost Gate; Zheng Wenlong had warned him about it. In particular, he had told Long Chen to be wary of someone called Underworld Thirteen.

As for the Cult of Mara, he had actually never heard of it. But Miao Yin’s introduction of the Mara Hegemon Body Scripture did pique his interest.

Miao Yin continued, “Anyway, there are many other human forces involved, but other than those three, the others are basically no threat to us.

“There are also forces of the demon races and even the outsider devils. Demons and devils do not welcome outsiders, so I have yet to get anyone among their true higher-ups, but I know of four powerful demon races that will be there: the Black Blaze Tiger race, the Skywing Peng race, the Fishman race, and the Nine Underworld Python race.

“The Fishman race comes from the devil sea, and I have basically no information on them. I know a bit more about the other three races, but not much. All I can tell you is that they are led by the demon emperor of the new era. This so-called demon emperor is the one demons have chosen to focus all their resources on, but I don’t even know who it is.

“As for the outsider devils, all I know is that they are mobilizing people. Their target might be the karmic luck dragon manifestation, or it might be the people who will be coming to fight over it. Perhaps they will be trying to take advantage at the last moment during all the fighting.”

This was all the information Miao Yin had obtained. When it came to the demon race and the outsider devils, there really was nothing she could do. After all, her initial goal when she created her organization was to seize the position of Music Grandmaster. Naturally her focus was on the human race’s side. She didn’t have the time and energy to place spies everywhere.

Long Chen didn’t mind that, of course. Miao Yin really was an excellent helper, and thanks to her, he now had a reasonable idea about the general state of affairs.

“If there weren’t any insiders, outsiders wouldn’t make a move. In other words, they have some spies. I have to say, those outsider devils have a big appetite. They definitely aren’t just after the karmic luck dragon manifestation; they are also planning on killing everyone there.”

“In that case, there’s no way for us to tell who their spies are. When the time comes, we’ll have to be on guard against being stabbed in the back as well. We won’t be able to tell friend from foe. That really is a dangerous state,” said Miao Yin, a headache forming.

“We won’t be able to tell friend from foe?” Long Chen looked at Miao Yin and smiled derisively.

Seeing that smile, Miao Yin suddenly had a shocking thought. “Young master, don’t tell me...”

“And what if I am telling you? Anyone who is fighting for the karmic luck dragon manifestation is our enemy. Do we really need to differentiate them? If it were just the human race fighting over it, then we might not be in a good spot to go all out. But now, everyone from every race is here. As a central pillar of the nine heavens and ten lands, we have a responsibility and duty to protect the karmic luck that belongs to the nine heavens and ten lands!” said Long Chen.

Hearing his tone, Miao Yin felt like his real goal wasn’t the karmic luck, but simply to put up a show of force!

“In that case, we will become everyone’s target. Our enemies will also push things so that we become public enemies of the world. That is not a good thing for our development,” said Miao Yin.

Naturally, the common discourse was that wealth had to be shared, not monopolized. If everyone split the karmic luck, no one would say anything. But if Long Chen were to take it all for himself, he would drown under their spit. This had almost happened to the first academy as well.

Long Chen shook his head. “The reason you are so cautious is because you have yet to truly understand your Dao. The sun rises from the east and sets in the west. It will not change direction because of other people’s curses, and it will not slow down because of other people’s praise. Remember, others can name us villains if they want, but a name does not make us who we are. The Grand Dao is the same. What we cultivate is the Dao. The Human Dao is part of the Grand Dao; only by reaching the limits of the Human Dao and transcending them can you comprehend the true Grand Dao.

“Someone too scared to cause big waves can’t catch a big fish.”

Miao Yin’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she pondered over Long Chen’s words. Her aura actually began to change.

Long Chen was utterly shocked. She really is a monster! Her comprehension ability is extraordinary!

“I do not fully understand, but I think I’ve found the right direction. Many thanks for your enlightenment, Young Master!” said Miao Yin excitedly.

She felt like the clouds had parted and the sun was shining upon her. Her comprehension of the Grand Dao suddenly felt clearer than ever.

Long Chen smiled. He could feel that the bit of Grand Dao power in Miao Yin’s body had become active and was forming a resonance with the outside world’s Grand Dao. This signified that her Dao-seed was forming faster, and the amount of Grand Dao power she could wield was also growing.

“How are your hundred thousand elites?” asked Long Chen.

“They used one day to digest the pills and two days to train in the Seven Treasure Space. You can say that they’re completely different people now. Although they still aren’t on the level of the academy’s elites in terms of combat experience or formations, I have my own methods to direct them in battle. When the fighting starts, they’ll only be slightly weaker than the academy’s elites,” said Miao Yin.

Long Chen nodded. “Good. Gather your people; we’re moving out. Let us go take a look at the geniuses of the other races!”
