Chapter 770: Revised: Chapter 25 The Sacrificial Refinement of the Flesh

The voice of "I Want to Be Immortal" was extremely conflicted.

Xiao Jie immediately understood. The choice between immense power and the happiness of a lower body was indeed difficult to make.

The words said by Ye Luo prior were still ringing in his ears—people always have to pay a price for what they want; becoming an immortal requires careful consideration, or else regret would come too late.

Seeing "I Want to Be Immortal" caught in a dilemma, Ye Luo curiously asked beside him.

"True Man, why can only a Pure Yang Body maintain Divine Power?"

Xiao Jie also became curious upon hearing this. It seemed in Huaxia myths, there was a setting where immortals couldn’t marry or have children, and any romance between men and women was a violation of heavenly rules. But he couldn’t understand why there was a connection between the two.

Although Master Mingyue’s tone was indifferent, he did not refuse to answer, instead, he countered with a question, "Do you know where the power of Divine comes from?"

"Power of Incense?" Ye Luo tentatively answered.

"Correct, but what is this Power of Incense?"

"The Desire Power of people?" This time it was Xiao Jie who answered.

"Correct, haha, you returnees really know quite a lot. The so-called Desire Power is the faith in people’s hearts. Strong faith can create miraculous power. Even imaginary things, if believed by many, can become real. The power of Divine mostly comes from this.

The so-called transformation from virtual to reality... Such power has no value to those who practice Cultivation, as Cultivation is the pursuit of the Great Dao in the world, while Divine Power is falsehood, appearing magnificent and colorful but just an illusion.

Yet, for ordinary folks, it is more than enough.

The Guardian Giant Spirit is a current world god, and its power also comes from the imagination and worship of mortals towards deities. If you’ve been to that temple, you would see that around the Divine Image, there are often some fierce-looking, robust Guardian Warriors—that is the image of the Guardian Giant Spirit.

Thousands of years ago, these sculptures did not exist. It was only when the immortals created the Guardian Giant Spirit at that time that they began to appear.

These Guardian Giant Spirits, according to mythological descriptions, were Heavenly God Warriors sent down to suppress demons. People’s faith gave the Giant Spirit immense power.

In the vision of ordinary people, Heavenly Gods do not have the seven emotions and six desires. If you break this image, the Incense Fire Wish Power naturally cannot attach to you anymore."

Therefore, the Guardian Giant Spirit must remain pure, untouched by the seven emotions and six desires, maintaining a Pure Yang Body. Once contaminated, Divine Power will gradually dissipate. Back then, the immortals trained 108 Guardian Giant Spirits, most of whom eventually gave up this power because marrying, having children, and continuing the family line is very important to mortals.

Since the demons were eradicated, there was no longer a need to retain this power.

However, there were ten Guardian Giant Spirits who adhered to their vows and eventually ascended to godhood."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, so that’s how it is. In that case, it really needs careful consideration.

Since there were ten Giant Spirits that ascended, if "I Want to Be Immortal" persists, maybe he could ascend to godhood after level 40 too.

Although this god is not the same as a High God, it might only be a low-level lesser god, but still a god.

Whether to become a god or remain a man, what a difficult choice. Xiao Jie looked at "I Want to Be Immortal" on the screen and felt a bit of sympathy.

Suddenly, Gu Feiyu’s voice came from behind. He was drawn in by the discussion in the game.

"Jie, I have an idea. If you can change the people’s perception of gods in this game and tell them gods can marry and have children, wouldn’t you get to have the best of both worlds..."

Xiao Jie was speechless. While that logic made sense, the problem was how hard it would be to change the mindset of everyone in the Jiuzhou World just to meet the requirements for one profession.

After all, it’s almost impossible to change the traditions of people’s hearts that have been held for ten thousand years; it’s too idealistic.

"It’s not that easy."

At this moment, "I Want to Be Immortal" finally asked Xiao Jie for help.

"Feng, can you help me think of a way? This sacrifice is too great. I haven’t even dated a girl, or held hands with one. If I’m not allowed to in the future, that’s too much of a loss." "I Want to Be Immortal" sounded like he was about to cry.

Xiao Jie thought indeed, for the sake of his brother’s happiness, he was also trying to think of a solution. Suddenly, an idea hit him.

"Master Mingyue, do you see if I have a Pure Yang Body?"

Master Mingyue looked at Xiao Jie and nodded, "You do have a Pure Yang Body."

Just as I thought! Xiao Jie immediately understood.

Changes that happen permanently to players in the game can be projected into reality, but changes in real life do not affect the game characters. For example, if a player loses an arm in reality, their game character will not lose an arm.

In other words, this Pure Yang Body should mean that the character in the game cannot have romantic affairs, but it doesn’t mean that players in reality cannot have relationships.

That being the case, as long as you refrain from flirting with female NPCs or players in the game, your real-life actions won’t be affected.

Having thought of this, Xiao Jie quickly shared his deduction. "I Want to Be Immortal" was immediately overjoyed, "No way, that’s awesome. Feng, are you sure?"

"Where would I get confirmation from? This is just a hypothesis. Why don’t you find a girl in reality and see if it affects the game? If it does, you can simply switch professions. If it doesn’t, then there’s nothing to worry about."
