If anything could attract Wang Sheng, something that could enter the Spirit World was definitely one of them.
Because of such things, he could truly “follow the cable” and fight the Heavenly Father.
This was just one aspect. Now that his own Spirit World had formed, he was even more eager to venture into the Spirit World where the Heavenly Father resided, even though his Spirit World, with the presence of the Five Internal Gods, was already different from that of the Heavenly Father’s. Still, there were many things in common.
For example, the method to suppress the Five Internal Gods was learned from the Heavenly Father.
The second reason was the most attractive to him: the possibility of becoming stronger. To miss out on such things would be a pity.
Thus, the Spirit Clan Elders inadvertently completed the “add money” action.
“I accept!”
The Spirit Clan Elder was somewhat surprised but said nothing and directly handed the item to Wang Sheng.
“Please take care of it. These are single-use items. If you wish to use them, please be sure to seize the opportunity.”
“Single-use?”
Wang Sheng was not disappointed; things that could break through strength limitations were needless to say—he was too powerful to have any use for them.
Even the scales that could enter the Spirit World were not taken for use, but for study.
With a Heavenly Father sealed in his hand, and by comparing and verifying it with the heritage of the Spirit Clan, finding a way to actively enter the Spirit World might not be something difficult for him to achieve.
However, he thought it unwise of the Spirit Clan to distribute these single-use scales.
The Heavenly Father was tough to deal with, and the Spirit Clan actually gave away such items, leaving no room for trial and error.
Everyone who received the scales had to confront a completely unknown opponent and had to resolve it in one attempt. Otherwise, even if one thought themselves strong enough the next time, they would have no means of entry.
Of course, this was the choice of the Spirit Clan, and he didn’t want to comment too much.
Rather, the Spirit Clan Leader himself was pensive. After handing over the item(s), he spoke again, “Logically, such items, although important, shouldn’t be split up. But even though every generation of Spirit Clan Leaders live long, no detailed events were passed down. They only know it was split up immediately.”
“…”
Listening to the elder’s melancholic tone, Wang Sheng remained silent.
It’s possible the Spirit Clan had long been influenced by the Heavenly Father, unclear why the items had to be divided. With the Spirit Clan’s heritage, such a thing shouldn’t have happened unless the brains of the higher-ups of the Spirit Clan had all collectively deteriorated.
Then, it was very likely that their memories had blurred at that time.
In such cases, he thought of Wu Yuancheng.
However, since they only chose to split them up instead of discarding them outright, the influence was not too profound.
Of course, all this was just speculation.
Wang Sheng wouldn’t share this.
So much time had passed, and it was pointless to investigate. Time always moved forward.
And for him—
“Even if I can’t figure it out, one time is enough. I already understand it well enough.”
After clashing with the Heavenly Father so many times, he had already deeply understood his methods; intelligence had long been gathered.
However, he wouldn’t utilize it until he had successfully replicated the item capable of facilitating deliberate entry into the Spirit World.
Seeing Wang Sheng so confident, the elder felt inexplicably at ease for some reason.
Then, as if having thought of something, he said, “Could you display your strength?”
Wang Sheng didn’t waste words and directly unleashed an aura.
Feeling this aura, the suppressed hidden power within the elder seemed somewhat unstable; the mountain trembled slightly, disturbing the Spirit Clan outside.
“Hu~”
Not until Wang Sheng withdrew his aura did the Spirit Clan Leader revert to his original state, stabilizing his power.
In fact, confirming strength was required before handing over such items; otherwise, if one’s strength was insufficient, they wouldn’t even be able to use the scales that break strength limits.
Wang Sheng had just entered and immediately perceived the true nature of the mountain, and the subtle aura he unintentionally revealed made the Spirit Clan Elders subconsciously overlook many issues.
Just a trace of his revealed strength was enough to unsettle the power they had been suppressing.
Previously, they had suspected he was slightly stronger than their ancestors, but now it seemed that it wasn’t just a slight difference.
“No wonder he was previously unwilling to accept.”
With such strength, it didn’t matter whether he had what they offered or not; they had thought their gift would be the icing on the cake, but now it appeared to be nothing more than a pointless offering.
For the man before them, the Spirit Clan’s items were not precious at all; it was possible he could create something even more powerful himself.
Such a powerful being had emerged in this world!
It was completely beyond imagination!
Previously, even with the existence of the scales, the elder was in despair, because even that ancestor had failed, would the hastily left behind items truly be able to solve the problem?
Unlikely!
But for the survival of the Spirit Clan, he had no choice but to seek out a solution, to hunt for that nearly impossible chance.
Now, hope had shone into reality!
And when he just spoke of showing his strength, it wasn’t for verification; the items had been given, and he couldn’t take them back. Just the fact that this man knew of the Yun Demon’s existence was qualification enough.
He inquired about strength for another matter, initially hesitant, but now his resolution was firmly decided.
At this moment, Wang Sheng looked at the elder and said, “So, is this level of strength sufficient?”
“Certainly, with such strength, you likely do not need our help to solve the Yun Demon. It is our Spirit Clan who has taken advantage of you.”
The elder had already conceived this thought in his heart upon learning that Wang Sheng did not suffer at the hands of the Yun Demon.
“It’s alright, I am indeed interested in your heritage.”
There had been reservations previously, but now that he was truly interested, there was no need for secrecy.
“This matter for the continuity of the Spirit Clan means nothing; so, if the problem is indeed resolved ultimately, I am willing to lead the Spirit Clan in following you until the end of our lifespans, and with each generation, select suitable clansmen to serve you.”
Strength is always the best standard.
In the Cultivation World, the strong are revered. Spirit beasts, targeted, remain understated and peaceful, but their reverence for strength is even more pronounced than that of the Human Race.
Even as an elder, the tortoise did not see anything wrong with following others.
And following did not mean slavery.
Having witnessed Wang Sheng’s strength, the Spirit Clan elder felt it might be a good choice, for even the barest glimpse of Wang Sheng’s power would overmatch even the combined might of the entire Spirit Clan’s Spirit King.
He had a premonition that this might be the chance for his lineage to soar to the heavens.
Wang Sheng heard this and could only chuckle in response, noncommittal, “We’ll talk about that later!”
For him now, the idea of following was not so important.
So it didn’t matter whether he accepted or not.
The Spirit Clan elder was somewhat disappointed by the response, but quickly came to terms with it.
For the Spirit Clan facing such a mighty being, it was unclear who would really benefit from the allegiance.
But it was alright; there was neither acceptance nor rejection.
“Thank you for the opportunity.”
Wang Sheng shook his head, wondering how he hadn’t noticed before that the elder was so adept at seizing an advantage.
“Let’s talk next time; now that it’s settled, I’ll take my leave!”
With that, Wang Sheng Instant Teleported away.
Seeing him leave, the elder summoned the Divine Sparrow King.
“Have you ever seen that man in action?”
