Chapter 736: New Corpse-Driving Technique

Jiang Li swore on his immortal tribulation that the First Emperor’s methods were all his own, with him providing only minor hints.

It was primarily the First Emperor’s influence.

Jiang Li discovered that the First Emperor was quick to grasp things. When he activated his mind, his thoughts would leap forward with remarkable speed,

practically syncing with Jiang Li’s.

Jiang Li himself would have come up with the same method.

Jiang Li suspected this might be because the First Emperor was also named Jiang Li, after all, a parallel version of himself.

“Your puppet regime…” The Luban Sect leader’s worldview was profoundly shaken, practically crippled.

Jiang Li spoke up for the First Emperor: “Just tell me if this is a puppet.”

The Luban Sect leader remained silent for a long time before uttering a single “yes. “

During this silence, he repeatedly pondered whether this could be considered a puppet. Ultimately, he concluded that this might be the ultimate form of puppetry, a realm unattainable even by the founder of the Luban Sect.

Unsurprisingly, the Jiang Li and First Emperor duo secured the highest score, leaving the others far behind.

The First Emperor nodded, quite satisfied with the result of the second match. He even glanced at Jiang Li provocatively.

In the first match, Jiang Li had placed at the top, and in the second, he took first place, the difference between them immediately apparent.

“See, isn’t it much more interesting than competing alone?” Jiang Li said with a smile.

The First Emperor’s stern expression remained unchanged, refusing to answer Jiang Li’s question.

As the second match concluded and the third was about to begin, the leader of the Corpse Driving Sect approached the podium, followed by the former leader of the Stargazing Sect and current leader of the Myriad Spirits Sect.

Four brothers and sisters from the Guan Dacheng Sect—Si Nan, Nitrate, Ruo Yin, and Xuan Zhi—were also present.

“How did the Stargazing Sect become the Myriad Spirits Sect?” Jiang Li never understood, and the First Emperor had never paid much attention to this small sect.

The leader of the Luban Sect, sensing potential in both Jiang Li and the First Emperor, explained, “This matter, in fact, has something to do with His Majesty the First Emperor.”

The First Emperor was puzzled.

The Luban Sect leader continued, “The Stargazing Sect, as the name suggests, observes the stars. Faced with the Dharmakaya Sect’s unjust use of the stars as spheres, they strongly protested, believing that the lives of the stars are lives too.” “

Coincidentally, His Majesty the First Emperor promulgated a code stipulating that the stars could not be destroyed at will. The Stargazing Sect assumed that His Majesty the First Emperor agreed with their view.”

“Then the Stargazing Sect drew inferences from this and believed that all things are life, so they changed their name to the Wanling Sect.”

“This has provoked Buddhism. Most Buddhists haven’t yet practiced fasting, and all eat a vegetarian diet.”

“Now the Wanling Sect is saying that plants are lives too and can’t be eaten. Which Buddhist disciple can stand that?”

“The Wanling Sect was forced into a corner by Buddhism and sought support everywhere. It was the Driving Corpse Sect that accepted the Wanling Sect, and the two sects merged, with the Driving Corpse Sect as the leader.”

“Is the Driving Corpse Sect so kind?” Jiang Li asked.

The Luban Sect leader was about to explain when he heard the Driving Corpse Sect leader speak loudly on the stage.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to announce something related to the third test.”

“As you all know, the power of corpse-driving lies in its ability to move corpses. But now, in an era of peace and development, there’s a shortage of corpses, and most are old and frail, no longer in their prime. Our Corpse-Driving Sect was once in trouble.”

“After a period of decline, now, with the Wanling Sect joining our Corpse-Driving Sect, we’ve made a major breakthrough in corpse-driving!”

“What is a corpse? Only the living can die, and only the dead can have corpses.”

“The Wanling Sect teaches us that all things have spirits, which means that all things have life and death. Stars die, the earth dies, and the oceans die.”

“Our Corpse-Driving Technique’s targets are no longer limited to humans and demons, but can also target stars, the earth, and the oceans!”

The audience erupted in astonishment at the Corpse-Driving Sect’s advanced thinking. The Corpse-Driving Sect’s main goal was this effect. They joined forces with the Luban Sect to host the Puppet Competition, primarily to promote their ideas.

Because the new Corpse-Driving Technique shares similarities with puppetry, the Corpse-Driving Sect and the Luban Sect are currently discussing further cooperation.

Jiang Li: “…”

Chudi: “…”

Jiang Li reaffirmed that the people of Jiuzhou had wild imaginations, and that he had nothing to do with them.

What Chudi hadn’t anticipated was the rampant growth of various forces in places he hadn’t noticed.

However, Chudi had no intention of interfering.

The Corpse-Driving Sect’s leader continued, “This may seem abstract to everyone, so let me give you an example.”

He produced a laptop. As Jiuzhou came to rule over more and more worlds, technological gadgets became more commonplace.

“This laptop belongs to Senior Brother Si Nan of the Wanling Sect, and it’s dead.”

“There’s an old saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty that a lot of information can be read from a corpse, and this applies to the new corpse-driving technique as well.”

“The new corpse-driving technique can revive the laptop and even restore browsing history.”

Si Nan’s face paled. He had never heard of such a method! The new corpse-

driving technique was truly impressive. The Corpse-Driving Sect’s leader had actually revived the laptop and restored Si Nan’s browsing history.

This wasn’t technology, it was Taoism!

“Let’s see what Si Nan has been browsing. The He Huan Sect’s official website, hmm…”

After demonstrating the wonders of the new corpse-driving technique, the Sect Leader distributed a primer on the technique to everyone, along with a cubic meter of iron.

“This third test will test your understanding of the new corpse-driving technique.”

“I’ve already killed these iron blocks. Please feel free to use them. Use the new corpse-driving technique to move the iron blocks… What’s wrong? What do you want from me?”

The Sect Leader was mid-sentence when someone approached him. The

visitor showed their credentials. “We are law enforcement officers from the Immortal Dynasty. We’ve received reports that you, the Corpse-Driving Sect, are harming lives in order to practice the technique. Come with us.”

“No, what did I kill?” The Corpse Driving Sect leader panicked. He had always been law-abiding, and the Corpse Driving Sect’s practice of corpse-driving techniques was registered with the Immortal Dynasty.

“An anonymous report claims you’ve been spreading dangerous propaganda in many places, claiming everything can be killed, that the more you kill, the more proficient you become in the art, and that you’ve already killed so-and-so. Just now, we heard you say in the distance, ‘So-and-so has been killed by me.'”

“According to the Corpse Driving Sect’s records, you can’t actively cause death.”

“This is a misunderstanding. Let me explain. What I meant is that all things have spirits, so we must kill them…”

“Come with us. Once we’ve investigated, we’ll release you and apologize if we’re wrong.”

Two Immortal Dynasty law enforcers escorted the Corpse Driving Sect leader back. Although his cultivation was higher than theirs, he didn’t dare resist.

The host of the third test was taken away, and the test was abandoned. Jiang Li and Chu Di, having performed exceptionally well in the first two tests, took first place.

Mission accomplished.

Liz, a veteran player of “Star Abyss” and a master of the “Starfall Master” technique, traveled to the game world with the system template and arrived at the beta stage.

While everyone was immersed in the smoke of plasma cannons, Liz had already torn apart the warships with gravity.
