In Jiang Li’s eyes, the schemes of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons were extremely strange. Take the Divine Repository Cult for example—the Heavenly Demons had only used indirect means to establish it while maintaining strict secrecy.
Yet, they could have openly spread the name of the Divine Repository Venerable and thrown the Nine Provinces into total chaos, but they chose not to. Besides the Divine Repository Cult, the Heavenly Demons once plotted to anonymously publish books like the “Cultivation Handbook.”
They deliberately disguised them as old, poorly bound manuals and placed them on roadside stalls for sale. The books contained erroneous cultivation knowledge, misleading novice cultivators who had just entered the path of Immortal Cultivation. For instance, it instructed that at noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, it is the most suitable time to cultivate.
The trick lay in this—this was only true for cultivators at the early Foundation Establishment Stage. For Qi Refinement Stage cultivators, although it might seem harmless at first, and even cause their absorption of Spiritual Qi to increase for a time, with prolonged use it would damage their foundations, making future cultivation much more difficult.
