Chapter 188 - 144: Sword Beheading the Devil Clan’s Genius_2
"Don’t you get enough from the sacrifices on normal days?"
"On normal days, there’s just a handful of people sacrificed over the course of a year; too many would cause a revolt and the loss of offerings."
"Goodness lies in the robustness of the three souls and seven spirits, and badness too lies in the completeness of the three souls and seven spirits. If you seek the likes of bears, tigers, and elephants whose vigor and blood are ample, you might birth one a year, but there’s no guarantee it’ll survive. You eat more, defecate more, yet produce less."
A series of hoarse voices echoed through, and while there were many languages and accents in the world, any language related to cultivation was universal.
Because the language of cultivators is the evolution of the Tao, with every term and pronunciation part of the Tao.
The official language of Daqian was brought by the Lord Emperor, so there was no barrier to communication.
Gu Wen’s curiosity diminished a bit in his heart. All beings of intelligence were similar, with the only difference being that it was now people being eaten.
It’s not necessarily more horrific -- if you swap the topic of their conversation with that of humans, it’s just about which animal is more cost-effective to raise. While mortals value meat yield, the Devil Clan values the three souls and seven spirits.
Survival of the fittest is the law of nature, often more intense than deep-rooted hatred, because killing becomes justified.
Gu Wen gathered his thoughts, then swung his sword forward. At that moment, they were only ten steps apart, and the three demons were still turned away from him.
