The Spirit World was strong enough for many people to accomplish great deeds, but for Wang Sheng, it was still far from sufficient.
Now the Spirit World was used to harvest spiritual power, but this was just one of its uses, in essence, he could, like the Heavenly Father, pull enemies into the Spirit World to fight, gaining an absolute home advantage.
Even stronger enemies, if they were not proficient in the Spiritual Power Method, had no way to resist.
Thus, the more perfected the Spirit World, the better.
After everyone had left the Spirit World, Wang Sheng began its reconstruction.
“The power of the Five Elements, with the stabilizing earthen power at the center, Chang Zai’s power presides in the middle, and then from earth comes metal, from metal comes water, from water comes wood… the most basic balance of the Five Elements is established.”
Although Wang Sheng could directly arrange the five attributes, he still started according to the theory of the Five Elements Mutual Generation; it appeared no different, but the benefits gained internally were significant, the most obvious being that the Spirit World was becoming more similar to the real world.
Here, the simulation would become even more realistic.
However, the Five Elements Mutual Generation was not yet complete.
“Five Elements Mutually Inhibiting, earth generates metal, but wood inhibits earth…”
The power of the Five Elements both generated and inhibited each other; missing any one of them would cause significant problems.
But after mutual generation and inhibition, an incredibly magical balance could be maintained.
At the moment this balance was born, five differently colored glows erupted in five locations within Wang Sheng’s Spirit World.
At the center, under Chang Zai’s earthy yellow column of light, the moment it appeared, landscapes and mountains and rocks all emerged, and subsequently, the power of the Fire Dan Yuan surged, beginning to infuse the landscapes and rocks, which soon became even more realistic.
Following the creation of the landscapes was endless flowing water, emerging from underground or bursting from within the mountains, moistening the earth.
Next, the power of the Wooden Dragon Smoke arose, and countless green plants appeared, bringing vitality to the Spirit World.
After a long while, the reconstruction of the Essence World was finally complete.
Looking at the “vibrant” Spirit World, Wang Sheng showed a very satisfied smile.
“The Five Elements are complete, and arranged according to the rules, the Spirit World can progress again and should be able to expand quite a bit.”
The power of the Five Internal Gods existed in the Spirit World, Wang Sheng initially used it to suppress the Spirit World, making it more stable.
Indeed, the Five Internal Gods proved to be effective.
Starting from two Five Internal Gods, with each additional power of the Five Internal Gods, the Spirit World became more stable, stronger, and its range wider.
Now that the Five Elements were completely balanced and mutually generating and inhibiting, it would only be stronger than before.
“The Spirit World, from its inception, seems to have never been this stable before, the power of the Five Elements has truly rooted in the Spirit World, and the Spirit World itself is a reality, even if the power of the Five Internal Gods were withdrawn, it could still maintain its current state.”
“Although without the Five Internal Gods, the progress of the Spirit World would slow down significantly, it won’t instantly lose everything.”
Wang Sheng looked at the place becoming increasingly like reality with immense satisfaction.
“Now, it can be considered that the initial construction of the Spirit World is complete, let’s restore the landscape somewhat.”
The previous landscape was destroyed a lot by the entrance of the Five Internal Gods, those were also designed by him, and he now couldn’t be bothered to painstakingly redesign them.
“Preserve some of nature, then restore!”
Before long, the landscape had generally been restored to its original state.
“As for the expanded areas, consider them as new regions, which allows even more people to come in now!”
Previously entering the Spirit World, due to the large number of people, there were always time limits on each entry.
But after this time, those restrictions could be removed.
“Not only can the time restriction be removed, but more people can come in; however, since the people from the two dynasties came, there aren’t many strong individuals left!”
The Spirit World is quite special, that is, the strength enhanced inside does not reflect into the real world, it is only for simulating breakthroughs, and the strength used is consumed from the resources of the real world.
Wang Sheng only needed to bear the burden of keeping the Spirit World open, and even part of the collected Pure Spiritual Power could cover these burdens.
Therefore, essentially, Wang Sheng had only one thing to do, that was to maintain the opening of the Spirit World, the consumption was almost negligible.
In this situation, every time the Spirit World opened, any person entering and doing something meant Wang Sheng would gain.
The more powerful individuals, the greater his benefit.
But ultimately, the number of powerful individuals was limited, now he wasn’t capturing all at once, but most had already visited, and the daily collected Pure Spiritual Power was considerable, but had basically reached a limit, difficult to increase further.
“Ordinary people could also enter, but not only is the Pure Spiritual Power they enhance minimal, but after they come in, they really don’t do much, just look around and leave, they might even dissipate the spiritual power without leaving any behind.”
The Spirit World is particularly useful for martial artists, especially those nearing a breakthrough, but for ordinary people, it’s just a novelty.
“There are two methods, one is to continue expanding the range of the Spirit World. As long as the coverage area is large enough, even ordinary people will see an amazing increase in spiritual power. The other is to increase the number of martial artists.”
“Both methods should be implemented simultaneously, but the problem is increasing the number of martial artists…”
To be honest, Wang Sheng definitely did not have the ability to make everyone a martial artist.
Not to mention the outsiders, even with such good conditions within Qingshan Village, some people could not become martial artists due to talent issues, and there was not much Wang Sheng could do to help.
“…After thinking for a while, Wang Sheng suddenly had an idea, “High-level martial artists aside, but it wouldn’t be a problem with low-level martial artists.”
“Let’s give it a try later!”
Three days quickly passed, and Wang Sheng reactivated the Spirit World. Almost instantly as he did so, people entered without him even needing to notify them.
“Have they been constantly trying to connect to the Spirit World?” Wang Sheng was somewhat surprised, but he didn’t dwell on it for long as he had other matters to attend to.
After the notification, more people began appearing in the Spirit World.
“Although most of them are very familiar, there seems to be some changes, I don’t know why, but that feeling of incongruity seems to have disappeared!”
“The changes seem minimal, but why do I intuitively feel that they are significant?”
This was a common sentiment. It looked unchanged, yet the perception of change was significant, giving a sense of reality.
Those with strong abilities felt this even more clearly.
“Before, one could clearly distinguish the Spirit World from reality, but now, if it weren’t for the login process, I might not be able to tell the difference.”
Even a top Great Grandmaster commented, “I can still sense some inconsistencies, but overall, my perception is the same as yours.”
“It looks the same, but in reality, it has changed a lot. Is the Spirit World evolving? Will it one day become real, and are we just providing the raw materials for its evolution?” Some people wildly speculated, making a guess that was both terrifying and very close to the truth.
Unfortunately, such talk was generally ignored.
Even if it were true, what would it change? The utility of the Spirit World was too great; no one would enter unless compelled.
There were just too many waiting for a breakthrough!
But what no one knew was that even more astonishing events were occurring.
Few ordinary people entered the Spirit World, but there were some. Most were just looking for a novelty, while a few explored within or treated it as a travel destination where they could see wonders from their homes.
Especially those with mobility issues.
Inside the Spirit World, they could reconstruct their bodies, and compared to reality, they preferred to move like normal people in this Spirit World.
Ding Yingjing was one of them. His family background was good, but he was wheelchair-bound due to an accident, now living like a wastrel at home.
After the Spirit World appeared, he could move normally again. Long-term repression made him spend most of his time walking in the Spirit World.
Just walking was enough for him!
Thus, he understood the Spirit World well.
“Wasn’t this area inaccessible before? Has it opened up this time?”
He found that places that previously displayed “Insufficient Privileges” were now accessible. Without hesitation, he entered, still exploring, but he never imagined he would find something that would change his life.
A week after the Spirit World reopened, earth-shattering news spread.
In the Spirit World, many areas had reopened. Actually, that in itself wasn’t so significant. What was crucial was that someone had found cultivation methods in these areas, with the highest being of Grandmaster Level, and some methods even came with elixirs sufficient to cultivate to a seventh or eighth-rank martial artist.
Even more news spread that there were cultivation methods within the Spirit World different from Qi Blood Martial Arts, which people without martial artist qualifications could possibly use to progress.
With this news out, even more people went mad.
Both ordinary people and martial artists began exploring.
Those who typically didn’t need to enter the Spirit World started to go in, searching for opportunities.
“Go and search. The more you move, the more I gain.”
These were entirely Wang Sheng’s tactics. He might not be able to train strong individuals 100%, but he could cast a wide net while increasing activity.
“This is actually a marketing tactic, eh? The effects are much better than I anticipated.”
As countless people frantically searched for cultivation methods, the dispersed spiritual power was abundant, far beyond imagination.
“The gains these few days are already enough for me to advance. The stage of awakening the Five Internal Organs Containing God should be reached perfection!”
