Chapter 387: Chapter 19 Breakthrough with Blood Qi like Dragon
Qingshan Village was his home, where everyone knew each other’s origins, and they all placed their trust in Wang Sheng. Therefore, Wang Sheng was able to directly open up his Spirit World and even directly pull people into it.
But for outsiders, the situation wouldn’t necessarily be the same.
The issue wasn’t that Wang Sheng feared not being able to cover the bases, but rather that outsiders might not trust the existence of the Spirit World.
Intelligent beings are prone to overthink; if it is a process they can initiate on their own, at least they feel it is within their control.
But if someone were to guide them in, they might suspect a plot or even feel that their Cultivation might benefit someone else.
Although as long as the effects were positive and significantly helped cultivators, the impact wasn’t especially big, it was naturally better if such concerns could be avoided.
Apart from these issues, there was also the fact that when the time came for a large number of people needing to enter the Spirit World, gathering them together would be difficult, and for Wang Sheng to guide them one by one would require an exorbitant amount of energy.
Regardless of the perspective, the advantages of a key were significant.
Thus, the existence of the key was essentially a necessity.
“Of course, it would be even better if we didn’t need a key, but could use something like a mnemonic technique instead!”
If he had to make them, and he couldn’t teach the method of creating keys to others to help, him making them all would be a huge hassle.
A mnemonic technique would be much more convenient; it could be easily transmitted and required hardly any effort.
“The responsibilities are heavy and the road is long!”
Although the Spirit World had improved unrecognizably compared to its inception, it was still a far cry from his ultimate goal.
“However, for now, let’s first create the key.”
Taking it step by step was always Wang Sheng’s modus operandi.
First, let the key manifest, then deal with the mnemonic issue; there was no need to dream of an immediate leap to the heavens.
After almost another month’s time, the near-complete Jade Talisman Key finally came into being, a jade talisman-like artifact, not because he had a particular liking for jade, but because jade was the material he had the most at hand for making talismans.
After its creation, Wang Sheng had Zhu Xiao, one of the strongest, test it out. If she could successfully use it, there shouldn’t be any issues for others.
And indeed, further tests confirmed no issues, and Wang Sheng directly made six hundred of them, delegating Li Yongfeng to distribute them.
“A gadget that directly enters that world?”
Li Yongfeng was well aware of the benefits of the Spirit World; he didn’t hesitate, and the distribution was carried out the same day.
Wang Sheng didn’t bother with this matter, and as always, did not think to keep it a secret. The Spirit World was never meant to be the domain of a select few.
Releasing a hint of its existence might even be a good thing.
Driven by curiosity, he wasn’t worried the news wouldn’t spread. If push came to shove, Zhu Xiao’s Yuelai Inn could be used to promote it directly.
The power of advertising and marketing was extraordinarily strong.
Even a worthless rock could be sold at an exorbitant price.
Having studied this in his previous life, he knew this all too well.
Feeling people using the Jade Talisman Key to enter his Spirit World, Wang Sheng knew the time was coming when he wouldn’t need to manage the transportation arrays or the Spirit World personally.
“The wait is for the winds of change!”
Once the Spirit World began to spread widely, it would be time to push it further, but to achieve this required strength.
Moreover, the method to enter the Heavenly Father’s Spirit World was not without progress.
The key for entering his own Spirit World was initially just an accessory to the main goal.
With nothing to manage himself, Wang Sheng once again undertook a life-or-death retreat.
In Cultivation, years were inconsequential; he shut himself away from the world, and time unknowingly advanced to the year 558 of the Great Zhou calendar.
Almost two years had passed.
This was but a brief moment for Wang Sheng, who had originally planned to continue his retreat.
His research on the artifacts of the Spirit Clan ancestors was nearing completion, and he planned to forge ahead to develop the method of entry in one go.
However, his retreat was interrupted due to an incident.

The higher the skill level gets, the harder it is to improve it over a year or two.
It had been so long, yet the Refining Qi into God. Operation Stage hadn’t even reached half of its progress.
The only skill due for a breakthrough was Six Harmonies Spear, and even then, Wang Sheng had only managed to move from Breakthrough three times to four, with no remarkable transformation.
What made Wang Sheng stop and even give up his research was the state of his Blood Qi.
“Blood Qi like Dragon: 99.5%”
Because Ba Duan Jin had undergone six breakthroughs, it enhanced the effects of both one and three previous breakthroughs. An entry that originally required more time to break through was now on the verge of doing so, just a bit of progress short.
And such progress, Wang Sheng usually planned to save for when he was most prepared.
“The elixirs are enough, and the condition is very good, it’s time!”
Once ready, Wang Sheng began his cultivation of Ba Duan Jin.
By now, he had integrated Ba Duan Jin into his instincts; every move was full of rhythm. As he started the practice, the progress bar slowly began to rise.
However, due to the high level of his Blood Qi Furnace, even a small amount of progress took Wang Sheng a considerable amount of time.
Unsure of how much time had passed, the progress bar of Blood Qi like Dragon finally completed, reaching one hundred percent.
“The breakthrough has begun!”
Without hesitation, Wang Sheng immediately consumed his elixir.
The breakthrough of Blood Qi required a huge amount of energy.
Elixirs were the fastest and most reliable way to replenish it.
As the breakthrough began, the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill was rapidly consumed, his internal Blood Qi started to rise swiftly, constantly strengthening.
The great dragon of Blood Qi appeared, and while Wang Sheng thought it would transform, the dragon simply coiled beside him and slowly changed its shape into something akin to a sphere.
“That’s not right, to call it a sphere, it’s more like a furnace, and there seems to be something off…”
Indeed, his Blood Qi had grown stronger, but this was not the transformation he had expected.
“It has grown stronger, but the gains of this transformation are nowhere near as significant as when I transformed from Blood Qi Smoke to Blood Qi like Dragon…”
(Rest schedule is gradually normalizing, back to three updates tomorrow.)
