Chapter 313: Samsara and Xian Convention Law (1/2)
”…”
Miaomiao frowned. He almost followed the flow of the conversation. Had his second brain never reminded him about the divine pills, which used souls of divine beings as ingredients, he would have believed in Xu Chu's words.
Last month, Miaomiao concocted four divine pills using four divine beasts' souls. However, he distributed all of them to his allies, so he didn't consume any soul.
Still, nothing happened to all four soul devourers, Ma Moxi, Jia Shan, Zhao Yun, and Mao Xueyan. None of the Samsara Gods came down to find trouble with them as Xu Chu had said.
Something didn't feel right here. Thus, he decided to probe if Xu Chu lied.
”Back to the Samsara God's problem, if I eat a divine pill, will I violate his rules? As far as I know, divine pills used divine beast's souls as ingredients.”
”… Who taught you that?”
”The devil…”
Xu Chu scoffed and shook her head, ”Never believe in whatever the devil has told you. Divine pills indeed required souls as ingredients, the pill consumers will eventually reach an unbreakable bottleneck after they become immortal.”
Xu Chu drew three circles on the ground. The biggest circle was on the top of the middle circle, and the smallest circle was at the bottom.
It was a reverse pyramid in a circle form.
She wrote ”Mortal and Lower Planes” as the bottom circle's indicator. Then, she named the second circle ”Immortal Realms”.
As for the top, it belonged to the god realms. Then, she wrote ”Samsara” at the center of the god realm circle.
Xu Chu pointed at the center of the god realm, the Samsara God.
”Samsara God might not take action himself, but his disciples, vessels, followers, knights, guardians, grim reapers, and apostles will definitely make their moves. Usually, it takes a year or two for them to issue an official warrant due to the distance, dimension stability, and official procedure. Once the warrants are officially issued, Samsara God's underlings always send their men to arrest the sinners in immortal worlds and lower planes. If the agents can't take down the suspect within a year after the warrant is issued, they will publish the bounty to the mass. The violator's name, cultivation base, and their last-seen location will be accessible to the bounty hunters and rogue immortals.”
She wrote several lines and pointed at the immortal realm circle, showing how Samsara God's connections and his organization worked. However, she didn't point at the mortal world circle.
”However, their authority is limited to the immortal realms. Even the powerful god of reincarnation is forced to follow the Xian Convention Law and stay away from mortal realms.”
”What's the Xian Convention Law?”
”An absolute law to prevent gods from murdering, abducting, torturing, or harming mortals in lower worlds. They can still descend to mortal worlds to expand their religions, but they can't bully mortals.”
Miaomiao had a bitter smile on his face. Xu Chu's words made sense, but it wasn't 100% true.
”I still got bullied by those eyes in the sky, though.”
”Eyes? Oh, Heavenly Eyes of Tribulations? Those eyes are avatars of 3rd-rated immortals that can't even cultivate luck. They're supposed to be protecting and guiding mortals. But if they wrongly used their authority, dao gods, especially the fanatics from the Meng Clan, will come down and punish them since they have eyes everywhere in every completed world. You don't have to worry about them if a few eyes attempt to kill you during tribulations. Some lunatics exist, but they usually live a short life. Just simply shout and ask for a Meng Clan's member to investigate if the tribulation is appropriate to your strength when you run into a nasty eye.”
Miaomiao took notes as a reference, but he didn't believe in everything that Xu Chu had said.
”What about the devil? He has been forcing me to do his biddings left and right.”
Xu Chu placed her left hand on her hip and massaged her temples with the right thumb and middle finger. She sighed.
”That son of a bitch is an exception to all rules and regulations.”
”Is he powerful?”
”He's not that powerful… It's just… Haiz.”
”???”
”Let's say he's as dangerous as the Samsara God when he's pissed. He always behaves like a dick, and his true self is even lower than a mortal scum. Still… Try not to offend him if you can.”
Miaomiao's face twitched. The warning came too late as Jesus already forced his hands to take sides.
The devil was no longer his sponsor, and he seemed pissed.
He wanted to dig further into the matter, but Xu Chu refused to reveal any information about the devil, ”I'm tired. I'm going back to sleep. If you want to keep on using my body, do it quietly.”
”Wait, senior! Back to the brainwash topic, how the hell am I going to brainwash him? Is he a soul, a spirit, or a mortal now?”
Miaomiao changed the subject before Xu Chu could go back into her slumber mode. For now, he had to give up pursuing the identity of this sponsor and gather information on how he could turn Liu Bian into his familiar.
”Brainwash? Can't you just do what an incubus can do? You've inherited my bloodline, right?”
”That thing is a dude. I'm not into young boys.”
”What about your domain?”
”… I haven't reached the nascent soul level yet. I can't use one of those pink gas domain thingies.”
”Bullshit! The girls can use them just fine!”
”But, I'm a man. I don't have a pussy that leaks pink miasma.”
Xu Chu rolled her eyes. Miaomiao hadn't practiced using his racial domain yet, so he had no idea how powerful an ancient incubus could be.
”You know what, from now on, whenever you return here, use your incubus form. I'll train you how to use an incubus power.”
”OH! REALLY?”
While Miaomiao had been chatting with Xu Chu, the fetus of Liu Bian grew at a rapid rate. It instantly became a baby boy.
”But I have to warn you, I won't dual-cultivating with men, and I don't want to hear anything about buttsecc. Oh, wait,” Seeing how Liu Bian had turned into a baby, Miaomiao had an inspiration, ”Senior Xu, can this soul eat a mortal's pill?”
”Normally, they can't since they don't have a physical body, but this is your dantian world we're talking about. All forms of items, souls, and power are like reality illusions. Well, it's real and it's fake. Anything is possible as long as you believe in it and have the mental strength to back it up since you're the one creating this pocket dimension world. You can try feeding him pills if you want to test this... dream world of yours.”
”Hmm.”
Miaomiao wondered what would happen if he were to feed Liu Bian sexy pills and tampered with his dantian, making his pill resistance weaker than average people.
He approached the baby Liu Bian and took out the gender-changing pill from his system inventory. Then, he crushed it and shoved the pill dust into the baby's mouth.
Xu Chu sensed the energy from the crushed pill and got interested, ”I sense chaotic yin and yang energy from the pill. What does it do?”
”Sex changing.”
”Hahaha! Can I have one? Oh, do me a favor, you eat one as well.”
”… No. I'll never eat my pill or transform into a girl. Also, I'm not into being screwed.”
