Chapter 143: Chapter 139: Human Rakshasa! Chapter 143: Chapter 139: Human Rakshasa! “Nonsense! Complete bullshit!”

Although Li Ping’an was shocked by the message, he also felt that it was Ye Wenjie’s deep obsession due to his personal experiences that had caused his nerves to become problematic after so many years.

How could the world they were in be the Nineteenth Layer of Hell, a human purgatory? Impossible!

“So you want to follow in Ye Wenjie’s footsteps, bring in external forces and destroy this world? Is that it?”

Ye Wen nodded:

“Exactly, to question Ye Wenjie, to understand Ye Wenjie, to become Ye Wenjie, and to surpass Ye Wenjie—that’s what I now intend to do! In fact, the world you and I are in doesn’t exist at all, everything is an illusion! Rather than letting a nonexistent world be filled with evil and sin, torturing everyone, why not just destroy it, eradicate this thing that never should have existed!”

“Maybe… maybe you’re right, but I can’t agree, because in my heart I still hold hope for humanity, for myself…”

After Li Ping’an finished speaking, Ye Wen looked at him with disdain.

He understood that Ye Wen, being the most powerful person in the Yan Kingdom, could not possibly be this foolish or malicious, which meant only one thing—that what she said about the Book of the Earth was true!

“May I take a look at your Book of the Earth?”

Li Ping’an displayed a covetous look.

Without a second thought, Ye Wen replied:

“You can! And I can even give it to you!”

However, Li Ping’an questioned:

“As you said, the Book of the Earth contains many unknown secrets and surely isn’t something ordinary. How can you agree so readily, and even offer to give it to me? I don’t believe you would be that generous!”

Ye Wen replied with a look of relief:

“If I were alive, I certainly wouldn’t give it to you, but after I become an Immortal tonight, I won’t be needing the Book of the Earth anymore, so I will have my subordinates send the book to you as a thank-you for honoring our appointment this evening!”

“What? Become an Immortal? You’re going to become an Immortal?”

Li Ping’an was once again surprised:

“You want to destroy the world and become an Immortal at the same time? What exactly are you trying to do?”

Ye Wen proudly said:

“The two are not contradictory. I want to become an Immortal and leave the Nineteenth Layer of Hell and at the same time destroy it!”

“Whether you choose to become an Immortal or a Demon is your own affair, but you think I would agree to you destroying the world?”

“Then let’s wait and see!”

Just as Ye Wen finished thinking this, the man with sunglasses beside her suddenly reminded in a low voice:

“Only ten minutes left until nine o’clock, we can start preparing!”

“Alright! Bring on the Human Rakshasa!”

Ye Wen immediately stopped chanting, and everyone around looked excitedly at Ye Wen.

“Human Rakshasa? What the hell is that?”

Li Ping’an, since he began his Cultivation, had never heard this term and couldn’t help but feel both puzzled and expectant.

Although Ye Wen was blind, she sensed Li Ping’an’s confusion and immediately explained loudly:

“Those burdened with sins, unworthy of the world, these people are also referred to as ‘Human Rakshasa’ in Taoism, which means those who have committed evils, utterly inhumane, neither human nor ghostly beings!”

“Where are they?”

“Heh heh!”

With Ye Wenjie’s ghostly chuckle, the grand doors of the True Immortal Taoist Temple flew open again, and the man in sunglasses rolled out a refrigerator. He then took out a corpse hiding bag, opened it, and transferred the frozen body of a man, placing it upon the formation near Ye Wenjie.

Ye Wenjie continued to explain aloud:

“Human Rakshasa Xu You, sinned by molestation of a daughter and rape of a daughter-in-law. Although possessing immense wealth, he was drowned by me in icy water and is now in the Cold Ice Prison!”

Then, the man in sunglasses brought out a charred body from the True Immortal Taoist Temple and positioned it near Ye Wenjie, who continued her loud explanation:

“Human Rakshasa Wang Li, who used her beauty to trick men into marriage for money and willingly became a mistress, was burned to death by me in the raging fire, now in Raging Fire Land!”

Before Li Ping’an could continue to be shocked, the man in sunglasses brought out three more bodies, arranging them according to the Five Elements positions near Ye Wenjie.

“Human Rakshasa Li Hong, who defrauded others of money and affections under the guise of divinity, causing countless families to shatter, died by my hands as I excised his entrails, now in the Intestine Extracting Prison!”

“Human Rakshasa Chen Wang, raised by a single mother with great hardship but grew up without gratitude. After failing to extort money from his mother, he murdered her—an act of ultimate unfilial piety. He was killed by me as I ripped out his heart with my bare hands, now in the Heart Digging Prison!”

“Human Rakshasa Wang Yunchen, regardless of belief in gods or demons, spread slander everywhere, committing heinous crimes. He died by my hands as I tore out his tongue alive, now in the Tongue Pulling Prison!”

The voice with which Ye Wenjie explained resonated ever more crazily throughout the True Immortal Taoist Temple.

“They were all killed by you?”

Li Ping’an, upon seeing these five corpses, immediately stood up in horror, pointing at Ye Wenjie and demanding.

His fear wasn’t of the corpses nor was it of Ye Wenjie, but of the madness of this deranged Ye Wenjie! Why did she kill so many people!

Ye Wenjie replied calmly:

“Correct! I killed them all!”

“You’re insane! You lunatic!”

Even though Li Ping’an had achieved the status of an Earth Immortal, and even counting the demons and ghosts he had killed to date, that still wasn’t as many as those slain by Ye Wenjie. Moreover, Ye Wenjie was the Council President of the Yan Kingdom’s Bright Council, yet she was killing people so brazenly!

Ye Wenjie replied proudly:

“I’m not insane! These people were the embodiment of evil. Rather than letting them live, it’s better to have them help me in becoming an immortal!”

“Bullshit! Killing people can make you an immortal? Do you think I, an Earth Immortal, am an idiot? The Taoist Scriptures I’ve read never mentioned that killing can lead to immortality! You must be crazy! Crazy! I’m calling the police! I’m going to get you, all of you murderers, arrested!”

Li Ping’an immediately wanted to call the police, even if the person before him was the most powerful individual in the Yan Kingdom. No one could act above the law and kill at will. Even if those five people had committed sins, in a society under the rule of law, no one could take the law into their own hands. This was the line Li Ping’an wouldn’t cross in this world, his bottom line and principle!

“Immortal Li has already become an Earth Immortal, quite impressive indeed!”

Hearing this news, Ye Wenjie nodded in satisfaction and approval but made no move to stop Li Ping’an from calling the police. She continued to speak arrogantly:

“Immortal Li has read more Taoist Scriptures than I have, but, have you ever read the Book of the Earth? Despite being a follower of Cultivation, have you never heard of the Corpse-Soul Separation Technique?”

Li Ping’an stared at the murderous psychopath Ye Wenjie and roared:

“Throughout history, the mainstream methods of Taoist cultivation have been divided into the Outer Elixir Technique, the Inner Core Technique, and the Corpse-Soul Separation Technique.”

“The Outer Elixir Technique relies on consuming Elixirs without ceasing, strengthening the body until one ascends to immortality, as the saying goes, ‘Swallowing a Golden Core, I realize my fate is not destined by the heavens.’ However, after successive trials by emperors from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the Outer Elixir Technique is tantamount to suicide by poison, not only failing to achieve immortality but also hastening death!”

“While the Inner Core Technique is about cultivating essence and enhancing qi, using one’s body as a furnace, burning essence, qi, and spirit together, merging them into one!”
