Chapter 556: Chapter 4 Make a Move, Deter!
The spiritual power harvested from the Spirit World could not be directly used.
It needed to be transformed into Pure Spiritual Power and stray thoughts through certain methods, with only the Pure Spiritual Power being suitable for Cultivation and providing energy for the Spirit World.
Of course, if desired, the stray thoughts could also be utilized.
However, since the Spirit World was derived from Wang Sheng’s Cultivation Technique, he feared affecting himself, so the replenishment of energy for the Spirit World also relied on Pure Spiritual Power.
As a result, all stray thoughts were left untouched.
At first, he would let them dissipate on their own, until later when he started to store them.
After several expansions of the Spirit World and a long period of accumulation, the stray thoughts had become numerous.
Wang Sheng was recently pondering how to utilize them.
Now it seemed he had found a way to make use of them.
“Last time, just a little bit of stray thought, combined with the power of Incense Fire Faith, made the Kui Tian Monarch uncomfortable. This time, with more… If it takes effect, perhaps even the Eighth Realm might temporarily lose combat ability.”
The effectiveness of the stray thoughts had already been verified on the Kui Tian Monarch of the Eighth Realm.
He was not worried about failure.
Of course, his preparations would not be limited to this alone.
“Whether it’s stray thoughts or the power of Incense Fire Faith, they’re all forms of energy. If they encounter a suitable opponent, it might enhance their strength, hence other preparations are necessary, preferably triggered before the stray thoughts…”
After some thought, Wang Sheng concluded that to achieve this, the mechanism needed to be able to activate even in his absence.
“Arrays, Talisman Dao could work; even without me, as long as there is sufficient energy, they can operate. But simple arrays will definitely not suffice. Then let it be a Sword Array!”
The Five Elements Sword Formation, a Divine Skill he specifically learned to enhance his combat abilities after battling the Hanhai Dragon King.
It could add a lot of fighting power.
But even on its own, it was extremely powerful.
“Utilizing the method of the Array to set up the Five Elements Sword Formation should be able to cause some trouble for the Eighth Realm.”
Without his guidance, it was virtually impossible for the Five Elements Sword Formation to directly harm the Eighth Realm.
But causing trouble was enough, allowing the combined power of stray thoughts and Incense Fire Faith to take effect.
“Not only the Five Elements Sword Formation, but also various trapping arrays, illusionary arrays… should all be arranged.”
Under the witness of the Planet Will, Wang Sheng surrounded the interdimensional transfer channel.
At the core lay the Array, followed by various forces.
If someone from the Seventh Realm came, it would be certain death, and even the Eighth Realm would suffer.
“Finished, I can leave now!”
[Your methods are numerous, much safer this way.]
Planet Will sincerely praised.
With these measures in place, plus the inherent restrictions of the interdimensional channel, at least there would be no possibility of powerful entities breaking directly into the planet.
“It’s just some simple tricks.”
That was indeed the case; for someone of the Eighth Realm, these methods were mostly incapable of producing decisive results.
Ultimately, it would still depend on him to solve the problem.
[It’s quite impressive to have methods that can trouble those of the Eighth Realm.]
“…”
Amidst the praise from Planet Will, Wang Sheng left the location of the interdimensional channel.
Everything that needed to be prepared was set; next was to continue enhancing his own strength.
Meanwhile, the outside world remained in constant turmoil.
After receiving information and countermeasures from Wang Sheng, Huangtian went back to consult with many senior figures.
The matter was quickly resolved.
The higher-ups of Datong were either from Qingshan Village or accorded Wang Sheng the respect of a true disciple; they were mindful of the clear targeting.
Thus, after learning the real identity of the Martial Arts True Monarch, there wasn’t much to discuss except how to guide the situation appropriately.
“Since this is the case, let’s execute the decided approach, disclose the truth, and then guide the narrative; if it really comes down to it and a strong entity causes trouble, we’ll resort to force.”
“Yes!”
The Datong high-levels discussed and started executing the plan.
The storm outside worsened.
Especially regarding the inheritance mentioned by the Martial Arts True Monarch.
Spiritual networks communication platform.
A private chat group.
These people all knew each other.
“An inheritance from the Seventh or even the Eighth Realm, huh? That person probably obtained an inheritance, which is why he’s so strong?”
“Exactly, otherwise why would others be at a maximum of the Fourth Realm, while he’s at the Seventh or even the Eighth? To say there’s no inheritance, I just don’t believe that. Maybe he’s an old monster from the Ancient Era, enduring hardships until today.”
“Standing out uniquely, it’s a pity we don’t have such an inheritance; otherwise, we surely wouldn’t lag behind.” One person spoke with conviction, believing they were only lacking some opportunity to become the strongest.
In reality, their cultivation was inconsistent, three days of fishing followed by two days of drying the nets; no amount of resources could support them.
Many people around them actually knew this.
But in this atmosphere of a “united front against a common enemy,” nobody exposed him.
“Indeed, such an opportunity could create an unmatched powerhouse.”
“It’s infuriating, the Martial Arts True Monarch said the inheritance was for everyone, and yet one person monopolized it. So selfish.”
“That person is more than selfish. He even prevents others from obtaining it. Didn’t you find it strange when the illusion of the Heavenly Martial Dao True Monarch was shattered?”
A series of conspiracy theories emerged.
Almost all of them won the approval of the group; conspiracy theories are always popular, with everyone believing they are the clear-headed ones in a “everyone’s drunk except me” state.
And there were many such individuals.
Of course, discussing on the platform wasn’t without the contribution of substantial spiritual power.
Some even secretly contacted each other, preparing to pressure the official Datong government to act.
