World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 283: A group of Linghu Chong

In the middle of the banquet.

Everyone found excuses to leave.

Some went to the restroom, others pretended to be drunk and went outside to vomit, then reported the situation of Du Ge and the Heavenly Demon to their respective sects.

The feedback they received was mostly to stabilize Cheng Yu and see what he would do next, while the rest would be investigated by their families...

Du Ge naturally knew what they were up to and didn't stop them.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the saying "no fight, no friendship" didn't apply to them, which was actually a good thing. At least it allowed things to progress very naturally.

As long as the cultivation sects were wary of the candidates, unless there were special mind-influencing keywords, most candidates' paths to learning cultivation techniques would be cut off.

...

After the meal.

Du Ge once again showed everyone what it meant to be unrestrained.

During the guidance, he would step down and beat everyone black and blue, thoroughly turning them into friends who cared for him.

In the process, Du Ge also gained some understanding of the cultivation methods of this world.

Zhong Xie's Maoshan Sect and Qingxin Temple both belonged to the talisman sect.

However, Zhong Xie's talismans were more aggressive, and when combined with his body movements, his eyes would flash with golden light during combat, seemingly able to predict the enemy's moves.

Afterward, Zhong Xie explained that he practiced the Heavenly Eye technique of the Maoshan Sect, which could see through all illusions and deduce the enemy's attack routes...

Zhang Ziqing's Tianshi Sect mainly practiced talismans and thunder techniques. His mastery of the palm thunder was superb, and the lightning from his palm was faster than Du Ge's Five Thunder Talisman. If Du Ge weren't quick enough, getting hit by his palm thunder would be quite painful...

Luo Fan's demon-subduing staff seemed to follow the martial path, with each move carrying a supernatural deterrent, possibly intimidating ghosts and spirits. However, it posed the least threat to Du Ge.

The most troublesome was Bai Qiao's ghost-controlling technique from the Bai family. When she opened her gourd, a chilling wind blew, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

Du Ge couldn't see the ghosts she released without opening his heavenly eyes.

Fortunately, his mental power was high enough that the ghosts trying to invade his consciousness were repelled upon contact. If someone with lower mental power encountered her ghosts, they would be eliminated immediately...

There were also the Shi family's strange techniques and the Ma family's god-invoking techniques...

These supernatural techniques were each more wondrous than the last, each with its own unique aspects, broadening Du Ge's horizons.

With his current grasp of these techniques, he still couldn't control the situation.

Unless he recklessly used the Five Thunder Talisman, but these sects had been around for thousands of years and likely had countermeasures against thunder techniques.

One had to admit.

Qingxin Temple's foundation was too weak.

This only strengthened his resolve to learn from the major sects.

Among the many techniques, Du Ge most wanted to learn the internal alchemy technique of the Quanzhen Sect.

The Quanzhen Sect focused on mental cultivation. Even without reaching the Golden Elixir stage, one could achieve soul projection and fight others. The highest level of the Quanzhen Sect's technique was the immortality of the spirit.

Du Ge felt that if he mastered the Quanzhen Sect's Golden Elixir technique, he might be able to possess another body on the Alien Star Battlefield without harm, or at least have some combat capability during possession, not just be a sitting duck...

...

"Brother Cheng, if all Heavenly Demons were as fierce as you, I feel like we couldn't handle it with just a few of us. We really need to get our sect elders involved."

Zhang Ziqing, with a bruised face and squinted eyes, muttered, "Also, I think it's a waste for someone with your talent to be a disciple of Qingxin Temple. You should join our Tianshi Sect and learn authentic thunder techniques. Your combat power would increase tenfold."

"Zhang Ziqing, why do you look down on Qingxin Temple?" Daoist Priest Qingsong, with dark circles around his eyes, frowned and said, "No matter how strong the Tianshi Sect is, didn't my junior brother still beat you all up? I say, my junior brother's talent should be used to learn all the heart techniques and martial arts of every sect and unify the cultivation world."

Daoist Priest Qingsong, who initially stayed out of it, didn't escape Du Ge's torment either. After being sucker-punched, he too became a friend who cared for Du Ge.

"I agree," Zhao Hongmei raised her hand, her cheek bruised, also unable to escape Du Ge's wrath.

"Let's do it!" Zhong Xie said enthusiastically, "Let's work together to make Brother Cheng the number one in the cultivation world."

"If Brother Cheng wants to eliminate the Heavenly Demon, he must first remove the obstacles from the cultivation world. Each sect has its own agenda, and who knows what kind of trouble they might cause! Unifying the cultivation world would indeed make things easier."

Luo Fan looked at Du Ge, his face suddenly turning red, and said, "I have to confess to Brother Cheng. Just now, I betrayed you and reported to the Luo family that you are the Heavenly Demon. Right now, the Luo family must be planning against you. Brother Cheng, I'm sorry."

"That being the case, I also need to apologize to Brother Cheng. During the meal, I pretended to go to the restroom and reported your situation as well," Rosie lowered her head, not daring to look at Du Ge. "Brother Cheng trusted us, but I betrayed that trust. I deserve to die!"

Following that.

Others also apologized to Du Ge one after another.

"...," Chen Ziyong couldn't help but widen his eyes. What the hell is going on? Did Cheng Yu awaken a new skill?

"There's no use talking about this now. The urgent matter is to protect Brother Cheng," Zhang Ziqing said. "We need to find a way to cover up Brother Cheng's identity as the Heavenly Demon."

"What nonsense are you spouting? My junior brother has always been a disciple of Qingxin Temple. When was he ever the Heavenly Demon?" Qingsong angrily retorted.

"Senior Brother Qingsong, don't be mad. Isn't it just a misunderstanding we caused earlier?" Zhang Ziqing chuckled, "The situation has already occurred. It's not enough for us to deny it; we need to find a solution!"

Damn!

So this is what "no fight, no friendship" really means!

They truly are a group of loyal brothers who care for me!

I love it!

Du Ge's eyes lit up, and he immediately regretted that friendship wasn't his second skill.

If he could take "no fight, no friendship" out, then Nan Youlong, the Federal President, they would all be on his side. The Simulation Field would be his to use as he pleased. What a pity!

"No need to solve it, just beat them one by one," Du Ge smiled, interrupting the self-reproaching crowd. "I believe that with my talent, it won't take long for me to become invincible. Once I defeat everyone and unify the cultivation world, does it matter if I'm the Heavenly Demon? Actually, even if it's not to deal with the Heavenly Demon, eliminating the barriers between cultivation sects would be beneficial for the cultivation world."

"Brother Cheng is right. A thousand years ago, there was a genius on Dragon and Tiger Mountain named Sheng Wenhua. He also wanted to unify the cultivation world, break down the barriers between sects, and create a true technique for immortality by integrating the essence of each sect's cultivation methods," Zhang Ziqing said. "Back then, if he hadn't gone mad during his practice, he wouldn't have failed... If he had Brother Cheng's talent, he might have succeeded, and the cultivation world wouldn't be what it is today."

Main storyline?

Du Ge was stunned for a moment and said, "Ziqing, tell me more about this Sheng Wenhua!"

"There's not much to say," Zhang Ziqing waved his hand, "It's like a legend. Sheng Wenhua was highly talented and had a sudden inspiration during his cultivation to integrate the techniques of all sects and create a true method for immortality.

Then, he took the opportunity of traveling to befriend the young master of the Tianshi Sect and the young sect leader of the Maoshan Sect, somehow convincing them.

The three of them became sworn brothers, exchanged techniques, and after three years of secluded cultivation, they emerged to cause a stir, robbing secret manuals everywhere and forming an organization called the Sanqing Hall. In seven years, they swept through half of the cultivation world.

In the end, whether due to internal conflict or a mistake in their techniques, the three brothers ended up with one dead, one injured, and one in hiding. Sanqing Hall vanished without a trace."

"After that, all major sects strictly prohibited the exchange of techniques," Zhong Xie added. "If any technique is found to have been leaked, the sect will pursue the matter relentlessly until all those who have learned the technique are killed."

After saying this.

Zhong Xie seemed to remember something and quickly added, "Brother Cheng, I have no intention of harming you! I truly believe that with your talent, you can unify the cultivation world."

Luo Fan added, "Moreover, to completely eliminate the Heavenly Demon, the cultivation world must speak with one voice. You have no idea how much time is wasted when sects bicker. According to you, with the Heavenly Demon's growth rate, by the time the old fogies at home realize the threat, the Heavenly Demon might already be uncontrollable."
