Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality

The city that Zhou Ming had just arrived at was one of the several cities that the Black Robe Cult had quickly occupied during the chaos in Tianheng City.

Now, after so many years, countless monks in the city have long since become accustomed to their current lives.

The Black Robe Cult only requires them to worship once in the morning and evening every day, and other than that, there are no other requirements.

If the target is achieved, there may even be tax breaks.

The amount collected was even less than during the period when Tianheng City ruled.

So relatively speaking, these people prefer the present life more.

However, this is only on the surface.

The Black Robe Cult is naturally not a group of great good people. Worshipping once in the morning and evening every day is just the most basic requirement.

Their goal is actually faith!

Under the rule of the Black Robe Cult, anyone who wants higher power or wants to improve his position must have sufficiently loyal faith.

Ordinary people have no idea about this standard. Only those who have truly joined the Black Robe Cult can understand this.

If your faith is not strong enough, then within the area ruled by the Black Robe Cult, there will be an invisible shackle on your head, and it will be almost impossible for you to break through this shackle and thus improve your position and status.

Certain resources, such as Foundation Building Pills and Golden Pills, even require sufficient faith to purchase.

Although to some extent, this is also fair.

After all, if we only look at faith and ignore other factors, we can directly eliminate the influence of family background.

But the process of belief will inevitably affect one's mind, thoughts, soul, etc.

In the process of changing from a nonbeliever to a fanatic, the mind undergoes a drastic transformation. Is the person who finally becomes a fanatic still the original self?

This is also a question worth pondering.

Under this kind of loose external and tight internal control, the Black Robe Cult's rule was quite stable.

Moreover, because there are religious requirements for middle and senior management, even if the middle and senior management members have different ideas, they are generally of the same mind and work in the same direction.

This is also one of the reasons why the Black Robe Cult was able to develop so quickly.

Of course, as the Black Robe Cult has grown to its current size, many forces are naturally paying attention to what they do.

Many forces have figured out that the reason the Black Robe Cult behaves this way is because they are absorbing and utilizing the power of faith.

The power of faith, to put it simply, is a force that bursts out from people's hearts.

But this force is extremely weak.

According to the Black Robe Sect, a person performs the ritual twice a day, morning and evening. Even if it involves three kowtows and six bows, a more complicated ritual will only take a minute.

There are more than 1,400 minutes in a day, but only two of them are used for this kind of worship.

In other words, the power of faith that a person exudes in a day is actually one five hundredth of the endless emotional power that is emitted throughout the day!

This is when the other party kowtows with great sincerity.

If one is not sincere and only cares about the form, then the power of faith will probably be reduced by more than ten times.

That's probably one in five thousand, or even one in fifty thousand.

Emotions are the manifestation of the soul and mind, and are inherently weak. The emotions that can be emitted in a day are naturally extremely thin.

If we reduce this power to one-five thousandth, you can imagine how small this power is.

Such a tiny power, just like the silent insect and vital energy, is an existence that ordinary people cannot even perceive.

Therefore, no matter how much research various forces have done, they have not yet realized the power of faith.

It is so difficult to detect, let alone utilize it?

Such a weak power of faith, just like that of the silent insect, must be gathered in countless numbers to become a considerable energy.

But faith is not a silent insect.

Everyone's life is different, and their emotions are naturally different. Even if they believe in the same goal, their purposes are completely different.

The power of faith that is ultimately gathered is the condensed spiritual emotions of countless people.

How complicated is that?

Not to mention that ordinary cultivators cannot perceive the power of faith at all. Even if they can perceive it, how can they use such a terrifying and complex power of faith?

Many cultivators would have a headache just facing the composite force formed by the mixture of several different kinds of spiritual energy, let alone the faith formed by the hearts of countless people?

It is only in the core areas of the spiritual world, those truly top forces, that have conducted certain research on the power of faith and are able to utilize it.

The Black Robe Cult is able to absorb and utilize this power, and it is obvious that it has a very complicated background and origin.

The top leaders of the Black Robe Cult come from the Thunder Spirit Clan!

To be more precise, it is actually the obsession of many powerful people of the Thunder Spirit Clan after their death.

That’s right, those were the obsessed entities that ran out of the Thunder Spirit Clan cemetery that was opened when Zhou Ming and the mysterious organization opened the Dragon Turtle Palace in the underground space below the Skyfire Rift Valley!

These obsession bodies hold on to a trace of obsession that will last for thousands of years.

After being released, they found their own natal magic weapons and left with them.

Now, after so many years, many of these obsessed entities have gradually recovered with the help of the remaining spirits of their own life-long magic weapons.

You should know that some of these obsession bodies are actually returning to the void or even fusion cultivators!

As for the Return to Void cultivators, they can transform a trace of thought into a clone.

Not to mention the combined monks.

Right now in Tianheng City, Demon Lord Yu Luo, who is able to fight against the Long Family and the Yishen Sect with just a Taoist weapon in his hand, perfectly demonstrates the power of a combined cultivator.

Although this obsession body was formed after the death of those cultivators, since the original body was already dead, it was far inferior to the trace of thoughts released by the living Yu Luo Demon Lord.

What's more, the thoughts of Demon Lord Yu Luo are attached to a Taoist weapon.

But what they depended on was their own life treasure which had already decayed long ago.

Therefore, the strength between the two can be said to be a world of difference.

But no matter what, its essence cannot be changed.

They can use their own abilities to perceive the existence of the power of faith, and can even dig out some memories that they have long forgotten, thereby making use of the power of faith.

The most important thing is that they only have a trace of obsession left, and they will not weigh the pros and cons like ordinary people, but live madly and become stronger madly.

The power of faith is extremely complex and ordinary people simply cannot absorb and utilize it?

Haha, these obsessive entities don’t think so much at all, they just absorb it!

This is actually the best way to utilize the power of faith.

After all, the reason why poison can kill people is because it can cause great damage to the human body.

But if a person loses his body, can he just eat these poisons?

As for the future...

What future?

The obsessive body has no future!

Being able to absorb the power of faith and run wildly in pursuit of your obsession would already be the best result!
