Master of Strange Dao

Everything else was very ordinary.

The Langya Incarnation could even comprehend things that the original self could not, and naturally, the original self had to pay a price in other aspects because of these benefits.

The so-called Langya Incarnation Technique, listed as a Forbidden Technique, was by no means wronged.

Because that so-called Langya Incarnation really was a normal person.

In the early period, the original self could instill a part of themselves into the incarnation while it was still like a blank slate.

In this way, as the incarnation slowly grew up, it would naturally come to think of itself as just an incarnation, merely a part of the original self.

They would not fear death, because they inherently believed that death was merely returning to the original self.

But in reality, there is a huge difference.

What returns to the original self is only their power and enlightenment; their self-consciousness becomes the sacrifice.

From then on, that person no longer exists.

The Langya Incarnation Technique is in essence an Evil Skill, a practice that plunders everything from another person.

When I realized these things, I believed that the Crown Prince of Dali could not possibly practice such a Dharma Method.

I also understood why Dali was the first to step forward and list the Langya Incarnation Technique as a Forbidden Technique.

However, these matters are very deeply concealed, not even mentioned in the classics.

Someone offering this Cultivation Technique to the Crown Prince's hands was a conspiracy.

All the so-called Langya Incarnations were deemed to be sacrificial pawns from the very start.

Even if the person practicing the Langya Incarnation Technique did nothing and interfered with nothing,

after the incarnation's external downfall, their lifetime of enlightenment would also be obtained by their original self.

If the recovery is normal, it's possible to additionally reclaim the power cultivated over a lifetime.

I do not know who from the Langya Institute came up with this Evil Skill disguised as a perfect Incarnation Technique.

But I estimate, after dedicated research, the number of people who could see through its evil nature would be very few.

Because if it is regarded as an Incarnation Technique, it truly is too perfect.

Apart from the innate flaw of the incarnation itself being a major weakness, there are no other disadvantages.

I do not believe there is such a perfect Dharma Method.

So perfect, there must be a price.

Only the price is something everyone takes for granted, and in the end, it's just the incarnation to be reclaimed.

Such a price, then, is not considered a cost at all."

Yu Ziqing felt a chill in his heart.

People who know too much are far more dangerous when they commit evil acts than fools.

They could even disguise an Evil Skill so perfectly that no one could see any flaws in the so-called flawless Incarnation Technique.

At least Yu Ziqing could not see any problems.

Even previously, when facing the old eunuch, Yu Ziqing truly believed he was speaking with the chief director.

Even the Langya Incarnation itself didn't see anything wrong; how could outsiders spot the issue?

Moreover, likely eighty percent of those practicing the Langya Incarnation Technique wouldn't even know its true nature, thinking it was just an Incarnation Technique.

In this case, outsiders, incarnations, and the original self all think that it's just an Incarnation Technique, then this Evil Skill is no longer an Evil Skill.

If it hadn't been exposed that Cui Changping was a Ninth Tier incarnation, the Langya Incarnation Technique would not have been listed as a Forbidden Technique.

Outsiders, many of them, also think that the Langya Incarnation Technique was banned precisely because it was too perfect.

At least on the Daqian side, it seems that they are not particularly concerned about the Langya Incarnation Technique, and their enforcement of the ban is far weaker compared to Dali.

"Besides you, is there anyone else who can see through these things?"

"Certainly, a very few.

Those who have access to classics containing strong God-like charm are very rare.

Those who have the ability, sufficient accumulation, and are willing to spend time to study it deeply are even fewer.

The classic sent by the Crown Prince already contains a strong intention.

Moreover, I guess, in the Lihuo Institute of Dali, someone must have already studied it and seen through its nature."

"Therefore, the enforcement of the ban is so intense, preferring to err on the side of caution, with absolutely zero tolerance."

Yu Ziqing understood.

There must be wise men within the Dali Divine Dynasty who saw the great problems.

This Dharma Method is strangling the future.

It is not just a problem of wasting talent, the most direct issue is the depletion of resources.

If the leader of a large sect is an incarnation, the resources spent to cultivate them to the Ninth Tier would be astronomical.

One Ninth Tier incarnation might be manageable.

But what about ten, or a hundred?

The ultimate result would be that once all Ninth Tier practitioners of this era have died of old age,

there will be a gap, because the resources that could have produced ten Ninth Tier practitioners might, in the end, yield only one.

Considering that not all resources necessarily produce a Ninth Tier, the wastage in between might not be just tenfold, but a hundredfold would be conservative.

After one era, if the number of Ninth Tier practitioners in a Divine Dynasty plummets by more than a hundredfold, it is essentially the end for that dynasty.

If the Crown Prince were to practice the Langya Incarnation Technique, with the resources she could gather, it would be enough to support four or five Ninth Tier practitioners.

Once she ascends the throne, there would be more resources, and then through continuous infiltration and suppression,

creating ten incarnations and transforming them into leaders of ten major sects to clandestinely drain resources, and developing ten Ninth Tier Peak practitioners might not be impossible.

But when she reclaims the incarnations, the cost involved throughout the process might be far more than just ten Ninth Tier Peak practitioners.

To say it would be a hundred would be to underestimate.

By that time, the person who gave the Crown Prince the Dharma Method only needs to casually release this information.

Even if by then the Crown Prince is at the Tenth Tier, the decline of Dali would be complete, with a significant chance that the dynasty might collapse entirely.
