I Am Your Natural Enemy

Wen Yan didn’t go out; Feng Yao sent someone with a supposedly high-precision, high-resolution scanner to scan the book that Wen Yan had in his possession.

The benefit of books lies in this: replication can be done at a relatively low cost.

The costly part is how to teach people, how to get the knowledge into their minds.

Wen Yan received the photocopied document and then sent a copy to Fourth Great-uncle Master to have a look.

Feng Yao took the photocopied document and reported it, asking experts in the relevant industry to evaluate it.

To be experts in the relevant industry at least, one should be able to discern authenticity and level.

Subsequent evaluations would determine within what range it would be suitable to disseminate after reprinting.

Whether it can be reprinted is actually no mystery; many risky professional books have mature procedures for publication and control of circulation.

The photocopied document went around and was finally transferred to the Old Celestial Master’s hands.

The Old Celestial Master read it once and inquired about its origin; upon hearing it came from Wen Yan, he realized Wen Yan naturally could see the book’s value.

The Old Celestial Master looked at the partial diagram, compared it with his right arm, and indeed, it wasn’t as precise and complex as Wen Yan’s, but it was more universally applicable; as a teaching material, it’s actually better.

Wen Yan’s way of imitating doesn’t work very well; the average person would find it difficult to learn and must have a foundation to do so.

The Old Celestial Master gave feedback to treat it like a normal professional book.

Those who need to learn will definitely do so, and ordinary people won’t bother to learn or read it.

Anyone who can deeply learn it and practice to the extent of triggering risks is certainly no ordinary person.

The Old Celestial Master gave his opinion.

Then the Old Celestial Master, looking at the book and combining it with his right arm’s experience, started a faint glow, slowly spreading along the left arm, with a faint glow also slowly spreading on the legs.

Just by reading the book, he could independently combine existing experience to complete the pioneering of first-level branches in just over an hour, with the limbs starting to pioneer the route of secondary branches.

With sufficiently high spiritual perception, he could even identify issues during the pioneering process and make slight adjustments combined with his own experience.

The Old Celestial Master’s progress was rapid, and at this point, he became increasingly determined that completely following Wen Yan’s route wasn’t suitable for him; the record in this precious book also wasn’t suitable.

Wen Yan’s route highly matched his own path; the record in the book seemed more like a textbook.

However, medical textbooks often present a situation where there is a deviation between the patient’s condition in actual cases and the textbook records; a patient’s condition completely matching the textbook situation is actually rare.

Just like a common cold, some people develop fever and cough, while others experience nasal congestion, runny nose, and headaches. The textbook merely marks the most frequently occurring symptoms.

The Old Celestial Master originally intended to contemplate a route completely suitable for himself because the new path developed by Wen Yan was indeed extremely practical.

Recently, this area near Cloud Sea Cliff has been exceedingly quiet; the deterrent effect is excellent.

The Old Celestial Master leaves for a few days without any disturbances.

...

In a deserted village in Eastern Xiao Xiang County, the Wudang Sect Leader stood before a dry well, his expression grim.

The Scorching Sun Department invited him here for two matters; the other one no longer required his involvement, but this one was more troublesome than imagined.

At first, he thought a demon had appeared, so he brought people to eliminate the demon, only to find there were more behind it.

Tracking all the way led them to this abandoned village, where under the dry well, they found more hidden demons, numbering over a hundred in the space beneath.

This is the largest recorded simultaneous appearance of demons since the Scorching Sun Department was established.

These demons use corpses of various animals as carriers, which the Wudang Sect Leader finds manageable, only requiring a bit more effort.

After thoroughly clearing out the demons, he discovered the culprit was an item, a demonic object that over time turned into a spirit, generally referred to as a demon beast.

This demon beast possesses the power to enchant minds, so the Scorching Sun Department brought a Sage Diagram, not entirely professionally matched, but sufficient to protect those present.

They solved the demon beast smoothly, killing it and revealing its true form.

But who would have thought, the real problem had just begun.

”Something’s wrong, we’ve been tricked.” The Wudang Sect Leader said with a stern face, looking at the abyssal dry well gradually turning into a mere few meters deep, with scattered dry branches, animal corpses, and bones inside.

The Wudang Sect Leader took out his phone and called the General Director.

”I regret letting you down, I’ve been deceived.”

”What happened?”

”The demon beast here should be a kind of sealing core.

Using one or several things as the core of sealing.

The core and the sealed object are not in the same place.

Sporadically spreading several sealing cores across the world typically ensures the seal can’t be broken.

This is an ancient sealing method dating back to when locks and keys weren’t widely used.

This sealing core is actually the key and the lock.

This type of core is extremely hard to destroy or even indestructible, considered wondrous items.

However, a long time ago, someone, somehow, polluted and demonicized this sealing core.
