What kind of demonic art? This is the divine technique of my Great Xia Dynasty!

Second Elder's impassioned and self-righteous speech left Lin Xiyue speechless.

"That's right! Second Elder is correct!"

Just then, Third Elder also slammed the table, his excitement no less than Second Elder's.

"What Righteous Path or Demonic Path? What allows our Great Xia to have everyone like a Dragon, standing at the pinnacle of the world, that is the King's Path!"

"For this, let alone Cultivating Demonic Technique, even if we poke a hole in the heavens, as long as it makes our Great Xia strong, then we must do it!"

"Second the motion!"

Fourth Elder, who had almost choked to death on tea, had now recovered.

His old face was flushed, and he waved his fists, his attitude more resolute than anyone's.

"History has proven countless times that backwardness leads to being beaten!"

"Truth only lies within the range of cannons! Nowadays, Cultivating Immortality is our cannon!"

"Who cares if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat!"

"So what if it's Demonic Cultivation? We must Cultivate it!"

Lin Xiyue completely lost it.

She parted her small lips, looking at the three Elders whose demeanor had suddenly changed, each looking as if they had been injected with stimulants, wishing they could immediately transform into Demonic Path magnates and lead Great Xia into a dark era, she was momentarily at a loss for words.

No, Grandpas, where is your integrity?

Where was that look of horror on your faces, as if you had heard something unforgivable?

Isn't this change of face a bit too fast?

Sichuan opera isn't as smooth as you all, right?

Just as Lin Xiyue was still shocked by the flexible moral bottom lines of these Elders,

Grand Elder, who had been silent, finally spoke slowly.

He first coughed lightly twice to attract everyone's attention.

"Cough..."

"Everyone, calm down first."

As soon as Grand Elder spoke, the other three Elders, who had just been agitated, immediately quieted down and looked at him in unison.

"Promoting this secret method is imperative, on this point, I have no objection." Grand Elder made the final decision, then changed the subject.

"However, the four words ' Everyone cultivates demonic arts' (All-People Demonic Cultivation), when spoken aloud, don't sound very good after all."

He tapped the table lightly with his finger and said seriously:

"Our Great Xia is a land of etiquette, an Incarnation of justice, and a Protector of peace."

"How can it be associated with a word like 'Demon'?"

"This will severely affect our international image."

Lin Xiyue: "Ah, this..."

Affect international image?

Do we still have such a thing now?

With the nation-guarding divine general standing there, other countries would probably hang our national flag overnight and worship it like an ancestor; would they still care whether we Cultivate Immortality or Demonic Arts?

Lin Xiyue was speechless.

But the other three Elders, upon hearing this, nodded in agreement, deeply convinced.

"That's right, if the name is not proper, the words will not be smooth; this name indeed needs to be changed."

"Yes, it must be changed, it must be changed to something high-end, grand, and full of positive energy!"

"Then what should it be changed to?"

For a moment, Several Elders fell into deep thought again.

"I've got it."

Grand Elder pondered for a moment, a glimmer of wisdom flashing in his eyes, and slowly said:

"The core of this method lies in suppressing the Heart Demon and solidifying the Divine Soul. How about... calling it 'Great Xia Heart-Soul Suppressing Art'!"

"Great Xia Heart-Soul Suppressing Art"?

As soon as this name was uttered, the other three Elders were first stunned, then their eyes grew brighter and brighter, and finally, they all slapped their thighs in unison!

"Wonderful!"

"Heart-Soul Suppressing Art! This name, just by hearing it, is full of righteous Qi, where is there even a hint of the Demonic Path?"

"More than that!"

"If outsiders ask us in the future what that 'Demonic Shadow' is that we condense after Cultivating, we can tell them with righteous indignation..."

"What Demonic Shadow? You speak nonsense!"

"This is the 'Protector Dao Soldier' that we condense after reaching Major Achievement in Cultivating the 'Great Xia Heart-Soul Suppressing Art', it is the highest symbol of a stable Dao Heart and firm will!"

"Whoever does not have this 'Protector Dao Soldier' is the one with an unstable Heart-Nature and belongs to the Evil Path!"

Lin Xiyue completely gave up!

Lin Xiyue was completely speechless.

Protector Dao Soldier... that's too much of a stretch!

Grandpas, it's a waste for you not to be spokespersons for Great Xia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

This ability to twist black and white is simply amazing!

"Good! It's settled then!"

"From now on, this method will be called 'Great Xia Heart-Soul Suppressing Art'!"

Grand Elder nodded in satisfaction, settling the matter.

However, to be on the safe side, he looked at Lin Xiyue again and asked with a serious expression:

"Girl Yue, tell us the bottom line again. Is this 'Great Xia Heart-Soul Suppressing Art' really as safe as you say? Are there any risks we don't know about?"

Finally, he got to the point.

Lin Xiyue put away her overwhelming urge to complain and became serious.

"Grandpa, for the vast majority of ordinary people, this secret method is absolutely safe."

"The tool demons they condense generally have limited potential and will always be qualified assistants throughout their lives; it's impossible for them to backfire on their masters."

"But..."

Lin Xiyue's tone changed.

"Nothing is absolute."

"After all, this is a Heart Demon. For those Geniuses with extraordinary talent, firm will, or extremely deep obsessions, the 'Lifebound Heavenly Demon' they condense often has infinite potential."

"This is like walking with a fierce tiger; if the host is strong, it's like adding wings to a tiger."

"But once the host's will declines and their Dao Heart is clouded, there is a risk of being devoured by this fierce tiger."

After hearing this explanation, the conference room fell silent again.

Four Elders exchanged glances, seeing a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes, but even more, a sense of resolve.

A moment later, Grand Elder slowly spoke again:

"He who desires to wear the crown must bear its weight. To gain extraordinary power, one must naturally bear the corresponding risks. This is an eternal truth."

"For the entire Great Xia, the benefits of this secret method far outweigh the drawbacks, and the value it brings is enough for us to bear that extremely small probability of risk."

"Therefore, my opinion is, promote it! We must vigorously promote it!"

"As for those Geniuses who might encounter problems, we'll prepare contingency plans in advance, focusing on observation and guidance!"

Grand Elder said resolutely.

"I agree!"

"Agree!"

"I have no objection either."

Four Elders quickly reached a consensus.

This seemingly insane plan was thus finalized in just over ten minutes.

Finally, the Four Elders who made the choice, all turned their curious gazes towards Lin Xiyue.

Second Elder rubbed his hands and asked with an expectant look: "That... Girl Yue, after all this talk, what exactly is the effect of this 'Great Xia Heart-Soul Suppressing Art'?"

"And how does one Cultivate it?"

"Can we four old fellows also successfully get started?"

Lin Xiyue met their curious gazes, spread her hands, and said straightforwardly:

"To be honest, Grandpas, I'm not entirely sure how to Cultivate it specifically."

"My Brother just gave me the cultivation technique, and I haven't had time to read it carefully."

She saw the disappointment on the faces of the Four Elders, winked playfully, and added another sentence.

"But, I can try it right now!"
