Chapter 315: Chapter 260 ‘The Harvest Method’ Hope_2 Chapter 315: Chapter 260 ‘The Harvest Method’ Hope_2 “`
Gentlemen, has it only been a moment, and you’ve already become so arrogant?
“`
“`
Several high-ranking members instantly came to their senses.
“`
“`
Among them were ordinary people and martial artists.
Why could they cooperate seamlessly and become equal friends?
“`
“`
It was because during the development of the Taiping Sect, everyone realized that ordinary people and martial artists were the same.
If a powerful being had resolved these issues with overwhelming force, they certainly wouldn’t have achieved the current state of affairs.
“`
“`
“Sect Hierarch, it was presumptuous of us!”
“`
“As long as you understand.
Go and handle your business!”
“`
“`
Once everyone left, Huangtian looked in the direction where Wang Sheng had departed and mumbled to himself, “Teacher, you must think the same, right?”
“`
“`
However—
“`
“`
“You choose not to get involved.
Are you worried about causing such an impact?”
“`
“`
Zhu Xiao had also noticed this issue, which is why she asked Wang Sheng.
If Wang Sheng got involved with the Taiping Sect, the sect could easily flatten the Grand Zhou within one or two years.
“`
“`
Wang Sheng did not answer but instead asked, “Let me ask you, if you inadvertently taught someone who built such a force, would you want to intervene, provided that you have things in your hands that you’re unwilling to let go of?”
“`
“`
Zhu Xiao pondered her own situation; she had a Yuelai Inn to manage, and just dealing with the inn was enough to keep her busy, not to mention that the inn was for a lingering obsession in her heart.
“`
“`
“That’s too much trouble.
He’s developed so well on his own; I probably wouldn’t get too involved…” Zhu Xiao paused for a moment before continuing, “Is it just because of that?”
“`
“`
“What else?”
“`
“`
The Taiping Sect was massive.
If she really got involved, there would be no end to the issues.
“`
“`
“Alright then!”
“`
“`
Zhu Xiao didn’t know what else to say.
If the people from the four great dynasties knew there was such a sect they could subjugate, they would certainly go insane with joy.
“`
“`
“Perhaps this is the difference in what we pursue.
I’ll take my leave here; I also need to deal with some personal affairs.
I’ve already found that branch of people!”
“`
“`
“You’ve found them?
You plan to take back everything, right?”
“`
“`
“Those people likely wanted to fish in troubled waters during these chaotic times, to reap some benefits, but I caught them by the tail.
As for those things, as the Family Head of the Zhu Family, I have every right to retrieve them, and according to the family rules, the punishment they are facing is not light.”
“`
“`
Sometimes, family rules can be even more terrifying than the law.
Ɲονǥᴑ.ƈο
“`
“`
They were talking about the Zhu Long branch of the Zhu Family, the ones who had taken the method that could guarantee a 100% chance of becoming a Great Grandmaster.
“`
“`
“Well done; that’s the way to do it.”
“`
“`
To repay kindness with ingratitude is to repay kindness with kindness.
“`
“`
Some matters must be avenged fiercely.
“`
“`
Of course, Wang Sheng didn’t care about the fate of the Zhu Long branch; he asked mainly because of that method that guaranteed becoming a top Great Grandmaster!
“`
“`
“If you retrieve the method for becoming a Great Grandmaster, may I have a look?”
“`
“`
“Even if you didn’t ask, I was going to tell you.
I want to see what that thing really is, and I suspect that it’s not as great as it sounds.
With your broad knowledge and wealth of information, you could give me some insight.”
“`
“`
Others might not be aware, but Zhu Xiao knew that the information Wang Sheng held was far from simple; he might really be able to discern something.
“`
“`
“Many thanks!”
“`
“`
Wang Sheng was very grateful; that thing or method was a core secret of a family, and it was not easy to share it with him.
“`
“`
“It’s nothing.
Until next time!”
“`
“`
After finishing her words, Zhu Xiao left immediately.
Clearly, she had taken time out of her busy schedule for this meeting.
“`
“`
With her departure, Wang Sheng naturally found no reason to linger.
He went directly towards Qingshan Village.
“`
“`
This time, he unleashed his full power, his Sword Flight breaking limits in speed.
The simple Man Sword Unity allowed him to return to Qingshan Village in no time at all.
“`
“`
However, his return to Qingshan Village didn’t mean that the turmoil outside had ceased.
“`
“`
The actions of the Taiping Sect this time had shocked everyone.
“`
“`
The four great dynasties had been utterly defeated.
“`
“`
The strongest of the top Great Grandmasters had fled disgracefully before the eyes of many, which was a massive blow to his prestige.
“`
“`
Furthermore, with their armies devastated, the four great dynasties certainly wouldn’t be able to take action against the Taiping Sect anytime soon.
“`
The struggle for Qingshan Village had, for the moment, fallen to a close.
This matter was witnessed by too many to be concealed, so not just within the bounds of Qingshan Village, even within the four great dynasties, there were many discussions about it.
The event had caught everyone by surprise.
“The mightiest have fallen, is the Taiping Sect really that terrifying?”
“Who knows, but this also signals the complete rise of the fifth great power!”
“The Taiping Sect has a good name, but whether they can truly achieve peace remains to be seen…
actually, if they do manage it, that would be…”
“You’re drunk, brother!”
“…”
This time, the Taiping Sect had made a formidable show of force.
Initially, many thought this power stood no chance and would be easily defeated by the forces of the four great dynasties, and hence no one aligned themselves with it, even if they were forces from within Qingshan Village.
But with this event, the entire situation had reversed.
Both ordinary folk and martial artist powers had many willing to join, since there was a chance the Taiping Sect might vie for supreme power.
Many martial artist powers began to place their bets.
As for the ideals of the Taiping Sect, everyone thought of them as pie in the sky, assuming they would ultimately follow in the footsteps of the four great dynasties.
Hence, nobody paid it much mind.
Huangtian was interesting though, turning nobody away, especially when it came to resources and books.
The Taiping Sect was in desperate need of such materials.
They took this opportunity to grow their influence.
Then there was the matter of the Heavenly Father descending; unfortunately, only Wang Sheng, Zhu Xiao, and Huangtian had direct contact at that time, so it was more legend than fact.
It certainly didn’t garner as much attention as the Taiping Sect’s capture of Qingshan Village.
After all, the Taiping Sect was capable of shaping their destinies.
Wang Sheng didn’t pay much attention to these matters.
As someone who had firsthand experience, he knew far more.
Upon returning to Qingshan Village, he once again entered seclusion.
However, this time, as soon as he closed himself off, he spread his Divine Thought outwards.
“If used properly, the wandering spiritual power could possibly make the harvesting technique work!”
The harvesting technique, a method to harvest spiritual power.
Initially harmful to others and self, it became somewhat safer after Wang Sheng’s modifications, and he believed that as long as the “Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter” continued to Breakthrough, the harmful aspects would eventually be eliminated.
But the “harming others” aspect was something he had no clues on; even the Breakthrough level of the “Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter” included nothing of the sort.
Although apathetic towards the fate of most, he felt indifferent towards their life or death and did not entertain the thought of actively harming others, so from the beginning, he dismissed the idea of using the harvesting technique.
One thing was certain though, if he were to use the harvesting technique, his Divine Thought would see a terrifying increase in strength.
It was different from individual Spirit Cultivators; any improvement on his Divine Thought would propel his overall power.
It might not be apparent now, but once he reached “Refining Qi into God,” the benefits would be significant.
But he refrained from using it because of the restrictions of the harvesting technique.
Drawing out something from a living body, even if seemingly harmless, would undoubtedly cause substantial damage.
However, his exchange with Huangtian had inspired a new approach to solving the “harming others” problem.
If those wandering spiritual powers could be utilized, then perhaps the harvesting technique could be employed…
“However, I first need to face a very serious issue!”
To talk of floating spiritual power was easy, but actually finding it might not be so smooth.
Having had Divine Thought for so long, he had never encountered it even once.
“No matter what, it’s worth a try…”
