Chapter 15 Speculation and Collation
Li Zhi has watched more than a dozen novels, which have some similar plots, being struck by lightning, eating a strange thing or having a master come to light, in short, it is an adventure, so that a person with ordinary qualifications has a thousand-level or even a thousand-level talent, and then the Yiyun faction stalked the protagonist into the sect, and then cultivated all the way up, sitting on power and beauty, and since then has lived a life of erosion and luxury in cultivating immortals.

Seeing these novels, Li Zhi was quite speechless, and it was no wonder that the other disciples would make no secret of their contempt for such novels, and even the author of the novel.
The vision and realm of the people who write this kind of novel are too low, just to satisfy their own lust, they don't understand the true pursuit of cultivating immortals at all, and they still stay in the realm of mortal thoughts.
But this is not to blame them, this is the difference in the ideological realm brought about by the gap between status and cultivation. They are still thinking about simply improving their cultivation, so that everyone knows them, they can pretend to be forced, they don't need to look at people's eyes, accept the beauties of all races, sing songs every day, give birth to countless descendants, make this world a territory for their descendants, and occupy the immortal cultivation world with the number of people.
This kind of thinking is not ridiculous, this is the collective fantasy of a class, to deny its existence, to criticize it, to underestimate it is to deny the dreams of this class, to deny the value and meaning of their existence. Although the disciples of the Yiyun Sect would show their disdain from time to time, they would not come out in a big way to laugh at how ignorant they were. The impact of a class's rebellion is unpredictable, you can challenge their status, exploit their resources and labor, but you can't erase their dreams.
As for the ideological realm of the disciples of the Great Gate Sect Cultivating Immortals, although they believed that the path they adhered to was the most correct and supreme, Li Zhi did not see it that way. From the first day the disciples entered the mountain gate, the sect instilled in them a thought, gave them a reason to cultivate immortals, and the most correct and orthodox goal. That is the path of cultivation, and the end of the path of cultivating immortals is the way, the way of heaven and the way of immortals, and the way of heaven is incarnated into the rules of the world, and exists in the form of a rule between heaven and earth. And the immortal road is to shatter the void, meet the catastrophe, thunderstorm, and become an immortal.
Of course, this is just a realm of the Dao, the end of a long road to cultivating immortals. Many people now admire the process of seeking the Tao, appreciating the true meaning of life in the journey of chasing the Tao, detaching from the world, not being immortal but like an immortal.
Li Zhi did not feel the slightest sense of these lofty-sounding pursuits, he felt that it was like practicing socialism, touting the advantages of this system to everyone, everyone is equal, there is no gap between the rich and the poor, and the people are the masters of the country. But these are all vain, and they cannot be seen or touched. However, these people with lofty ideals regard their ideals as noble, and look down on those whose ambitions are not as high as their own, and have no reason for superiority.
After sorting out these novels, I can roughly find clues from the overlapping contents, such as some catastrophes, such as spirit animal riots, foreign invasions and other events, they changed their names, added their own imagination, and modified the real events. What Li Zhi has to do is to find the common ground in these repetitive events, and then extend them to find out the truth of the matter from the clues.
It's a very difficult job, but Li Zhi has the ability to remember every point, every difference and commonality, which is the key to his confidence in finding the truth from a lot of tedious and useless information.
The Demon King joined the Yiyun Sect 40 years ago, which means that the information he is looking for must be in that time period, and he doesn't know if the major events that Li Zhi can identify are related to the Demon King, but it is always right to record them.
The first thing is that twenty-one years ago, the once-prosperous Yin State was wiped out, and all the mortal cities in the Yin State were slaughtered. Most people explain this matter with monsters entering the city, and some people just say it implicitly as a conversation, and more people change their names, change their sects, and add a little sectarian dispute to record this matter. From all the book records, Li Zhi came to an astonishing fact that it was not a group of people who did this, but a person, a disciple of the sect.
The second thing is that nineteen years ago, there was an accident in the Yiyun Sect, and nearly fifty percent of the disciples of the sect were killed, and this disaster that affected the foundation of the sect plunged the Yiyun Sect into an unprecedented crisis. The neighboring sects are eyeing it, and the small and medium-sized sects under the territory are even using their own small calculations to secretly collude with other sects in order to overthrow the Yiyun faction. Of course, this matter was finally suppressed, and the few small and medium-sized sects that intended to rebel were also punished by extermination.
The third thing is that ten years ago, there was an earth-shattering battle at the boundary of the Yiyun Sect, the entire heaven and earth burned, and the sky outside the boundary was filled with demonic purple qi, and the purple qi and red clouds were connected, a scene of the end of the world. From time to time, huge blood blades descended on the sky, slashing the sky and overwhelming the head-on. There were also sections of rough purple thunder rising from the ground and colliding with the blood blades. There were heavenly soldiers in golden armor descending, huge hands covering a kilometer came out of thin air, thousands of flame giants roared to the ground, and purple giant apes died in anger.
Heaven and earth collapsed, the plateau was razed to the ground, thousands of miles of rivers were turned to ashes, and the war of immortals slaughtered all generations.
When Li Zhi saw the content recorded in the first book, he only felt that it was the excessive imagination of mortals, if this kind of majestic power really existed, how could this fragile world withstand the toss, and at the same time, the denial of this matter could make Li Zhi more at ease. Because if there is an existence in this world that can release the power of destroying the world, he will not have to play at all, and he will be destroyed in one face, and it is a bit of an overestimation to say that he is an ant.
But it wasn't until he saw two, three, or even hundreds of books that recorded this incident that he had to re-examine the credibility of this matter. If it's one person exaggerating this, then forget it, hundreds of people, all have similar descriptions, similar scenes, this is by no means an exaggerated description, nor is it a mutual plagiarism between authors, but a reality, a nightmare that everyone has experienced. In the description of the characters, it is written that the people kneel on the ground and pray, and that the parents hold their children and cry silently, these are all real happenings, and the most real reactions of the people after seeing the scene of the end of the world.
These three major events are also mixed with some more trivial things, such as the border spirit beast rebellion that lasted for five years, the legend of the purple demon beast, the trial confrontation between the Yiyun faction and the ethereal faction, and so on. Because the social class of the author is too low to be exposed to too deep things, many things are pieced together from bits and pieces, and the authenticity needs to be considered.
