Because if you don't scrape it clean the first ti, you have to scrape it again, and if it's still not clean the second ti, you have to scrape it a third, fourth, and fifth ti. This kind of pain can gradually numb your spirit, and even when you can no longer endure it, you'd feel suicidal urges.
Moreover, more importantly, after the breath of the nine-headed demon dragon corrodes your soul, what you scrape off is not only the breath of the nine-headed demon dragon but also your soul, which has been eroded. The soul that has already been polluted cannot be cured. The Power of Purification might have an effect, but no one has tried it, so no one is sure if it works. Therefore, people directly scrape off even those polluted souls together. If it's not clean the first ti, the remaining breath will continue to erode your soul. When you scrape it again the second ti, you will still scrape away a bit of your soul. With every successive scrape, the more you scrape, the less soul you have.
Ultimately, it may result in scraping out your consciousness. By then, you'd beco a walking corpse, a soulless walking corpse without any thought.
Of course, in general, they would rather scrape more than less, so even knowing it would harm your soul, they won't allow the breath of the nine-headed demon dragon to remain. Because if the breath of the nine-headed demon dragon still remains, the next treatnt would scrape away not just a little more soul, but more soul than before. Therefore, even if the breath of the nine-headed demon dragon is not detectable in your soul, the healer would still scrape away a thin layer of your soul to prevent any discoverable traces remaining in your soul.
Although doing so would cause you great pain and suffering, in order not to scrape a second ti, you have to endure it. Because once, a disciple of a minor sect got his soul polluted with Evil Qi, and during treatnt, the first scrape wasn't clean, nor the second, ultimately turning that disciple into a walking corpse. That minor sect then released that disciple into the wild to fend for themselves, but there was still Evil Qi residue on that disciple's soul, and they eventually turned into a demon.
Such stories, whether true or false, circulate within the cultivation world to serve as a caution to others.
Of course, for a colossal sect like Taichu Sect, there's no such outco of not scraping it clean. They fully understand how serious it is if it's not scraped clean, so they would rather scrape more than leave anything behind, avoiding any residual effects, and then scrape the soul a second ti.
Then, Tian Chu Zhenren quickly flew to every peak, also asking Ye Tianfan and Bai Feng to inform the two headmasters. Since Tian Chu Zhenren flew extrely fast, after Ye Tianfan inford one headmaster, Tian Chu Zhenren had already finished notifying all the remaining headmasters.
The situation was urgent, so they didn't ask other disciples to notify everyone separately. Even though all those disciples notified separately, it still wouldn't be as fast as him flying. Now, saving an extra second ant one extra second of hope. Although Tian Chu Zhenren believed these disciples wouldn't succumb to temptation so easily, accidents always happen, right? If a disciple succumbed to temptation in such a short ti, they would beco a root of trouble.
After Ye Tianfan, Bai Feng, and Tian Chu Zhenren had gathered all the headmasters at Taichu Peak, Bai Feng was sent off to refine Magical Treasures, while Ye Tianfan stayed behind to participate in their eting.
The entire eting revolved around how to prevent and save these disciples. In the middle, Ye Tianfan couldn't get a word in edgewise. Though it was sowhat boring, Ye Tianfan sat there, waiting for the outco. The final result was that Tian Chuzhen activated the potential of the Five-Elent Divine Phoenix, making it perform a phoenix cry, mobilizing the Power of Purification, and then allowing the Five-Elent Divine Phoenix to heal.
In other words, they agreed with Tian Chu Zhenren's idea and strongly supported it. Because besides this thod, they had no other solution at present. Although they also had an ultimate thod, which was to scrape away the filth on their souls, this could only be done after their souls were polluted, because only when their souls were polluted could the breath of the nine-headed demon dragon adhere to their souls. Only then would scraping be effective. If the breath of the nine-headed demon dragon hadn't adhered to their souls, then scraping it would be futile, as those breaths are moving fluidly. Scrape one side, and the breath of the nine-headed demon dragon would shift to another place, essentially having no effect.
Afterward, these headmasters summoned all the disciples who were on Taichu Peak at the ti, gathering them outside a mysterious cave at the back of Taichu Peak. Of course, Ye Tianfan was also there because he was one of the whispered ones.
Even though many among them were not whispered, and they didn't know why they were there, it's better to kill the wrong than to miss the right. You haven't been whispered, but listening to a phoenix cry doesn't harm you, so all the disciples who were on Taichu Peak were outside this mysterious cave.
Although, indeed, having so many disciples standing there was a bit crowded, there was no other way—it had to be done this way.
Ye Tianfan waited outside the cave for a while, suddenly hearing a phoenix cry in his ear. Then Ye Tianfan felt a sense of relief, his entire being becoming inexplicably refreshed. Ye Tianfan estimated that the breath of the nine-headed demon dragon had dispersed. He then closed his eyes, and indeed, the whispers of the nine-headed demon dragon had disappeared.
At this mont, Ye Tianfan felt extrely happy because the whispers were gone, indicating that he was no longer entangled by those whispers, and he could cultivate normally again.
Yet, at that mont, Ye Tianfan felt a bit of strangeness with the Carefree Sword in his Dantian. However, as there were too many people around, Ye Tianfan didn't take out the Carefree Sword. Though the Carefree Sword showed so strangeness, it stayed obediently within the Dantian. So, Ye Tianfan planned to wait until he returned to Taibhook Peak before pulling out the Carefree Sword to examine it, as the anomaly surely signified so problem.
Moreover, Ye Tianfan had a feeling that the anomaly with the Carefree Sword during this ti might be related to the cry of the Five-Elent Divine Phoenix, but then Ye Tianfan thought it wrong; if it was related to the cry of the Five-Elent Divine Phoenix, why then, during the earlier cries, did the Carefree Sword not exhibit any anomalies, only this ti causing an anomaly?
