Chapter 571: Chapter 11 Eve_2
Huangtian, upon seeing this scene, grew anxious but dared not say much.
However, as his unease grew more severe, Wang Sheng finally spoke, “I can give you the Jade Talisman, and even the strength-enhancing talismans I’ve crafted, however…”
“Please, sir, feel free to make any requests!”
Wang Sheng shook his head and continued, “What do you possess that is of worth to me?”
“…,” Huangtian felt awkward. “Sorry, sir, I am somewhat anxious… What did you mean by ‘however’?”
“I can give you two items that enhance strength, but have you considered finding the traitor directly?”
“!!!!”
“Is that really possible, sir? Although we are certain of the traitor’s existence, they are deeply hidden…”
Wang Sheng smiled and said, “If you can’t, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. According to you, these traitors don’t truly believe in the Savior Sect, with no unusual changes, just concealing their beliefs, right?”
“Yes, sir.” Huangtian nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized something. “Sir, you want to search memories. We have tried this method, but it’s very difficult. Even the strongest Spirit Cultivators can’t probe memories without creating disturbances, and even then, they can’t ensure the Spiritual Body remains intact after a memory search. The impact is too significant; it’s not feasible to promote.”
The method of searching memories had naturally occurred to them.
Memories were always a sensitive matter. A direct search could not only fail but even if successful, could cause dissatisfaction.
Therefore, conducting soul searches on top-tier experts was nearly impossible.
Even with the looming invasion, tempting as it was to bet hundreds of cultivators of the Fourth Realm due to a few traitors, it was a supremely irrational act.
This idea could only remain a notion.
Huangtian had not brought it up again, but since the sir mentioned it, it might be solvable.
Regarding the issue of privacy… at a juncture of life and death, if their soul search did not risk damaging the Spiritual Body and reducing its power, they would have started long ago.
“Sir, do you wish to conduct a soul search?”
Wang Sheng, with a smile, looked at Huangtian and said, “Let’s hold another Fourth Realm conference three days from now…”
Huangtian’s heart shook, guessing the reason. Due to the impending invasion, the Fourth Realm had been meeting frequently, but the urgency mentioned by the sir was probably to gather people together to reduce trouble.
“I can arrange that, sir!”
“Go ahead, I will also have the Jade Talisman and strength talismans prepared…”
Jade Talismans and strength talismans, if made casually, were simple, but if designed to maximize their power, required a lot of effort.
…
Three days later, Wang Sheng had prepared the Jade Talismans and strength talismans.
Having spent only three days, the quantity of these two types of items was considerable, enough to arm a large group of cultivators.
However, Wang Sheng did not plan to produce any more before the world invasion battle!
This next world invasion battle was essentially about his strength; it would truly be a waste to neglect strength enhancement for minor diversions.
“That should be enough, Huangtian should have gathered everyone by now…”
Soon after, he went to the Head of State’s office, where Huangtian seemed to be handling matters.
Wang Sheng did not conceal his presence, and was soon noticed.
“Sir! Most of the Fourth Realm experts have been gathered, all waiting for the meeting this afternoon.”
“Good, I will begin the check soon, and take these attack Jade Talismans and strength talismans to arrange!”
Huangtian, with envious eyes, watched as Wang Sheng used Sleeve Universe to throw out the prepared items.
Seeing all these talismans made of jade, Huangtian was overjoyed, his mouth agape.
With these Jade Talismans and strength talismans at hand, his plan was more assured.
Of course, as the Head of State, he couldn’t make hasty decisions but instead asked, “Sir, to use them properly, could you reveal the effects of the two types of talismans?”
“Of course, the attack Jade Talisman can unleash the strength I had when I first entered the Eighth Realm—anyone at the Seventh Realm would surely die if hit, though if ordinary people use them, the effect may not be as potent!”
The attack Jade Talisman could unleash an incredibly terrifying destructive power, attaining the power of the Eighth Realm.
Of course, there were clear drawbacks; if controlled by ordinary people and monitored by the enemy, it could pose serious problems.
However, knowing that there were attack Jade Talismans with the power of the Eighth Realm at hand, Huangtian was very pleased.
As long as they could be used en masse, even foes of the Eighth Realm would have to flee.
This was an opportunity to handle powerful enemies.
It was crucial to keep them well hidden and select the right people.
Then there were the strength talismans—
“Sir, this is the strongman talisman you taught me back then, right? At the beginning, they really helped me a lot.”
When the Taiping Sect was first founded, Huangtian had nothing but a sister with him.
If it weren’t for the strongman talisman holding the fort, the Taiping Sect might not have been able to develop.
Wang Sheng glanced at Huangtian and said, “Your strongman talisman is basically wasted. At your current level, using the strongman talisman could at most summon a Great Grandmaster, and even now, the strongman is still the same, basically unchanged.”
Huangtian felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this.
After the Taiping Sect’s numbers had grown, the strongman talisman, which was slow to improve, became a technique that was rarely used.
“Sir, what kind of strength can your strongman talisman create?” Huangtian was very curious about how far his master’s strongman talisman had come.
Wang Sheng did not hide anything, slowly explaining.
“The Seventh Realm!”
“If the strongman talisman is used, one can directly become a strong practitioner of the Seventh Realm, lasting about seven and a half minutes at a crucial time, and when combined with the attack of a Jade Talisman, it can have a great effect.”
How could the things he crafted be anything less than excellent?
The effects of both were extremely crucial.
Looking at Huangtian who appeared foolishly happy, Wang Sheng gently reminded him, “Now is not the time for you to daydream, you need to think about how to distribute all these tools to trusted people…”
“Sir, weren’t we supposed to capture the traitors?” Huangtian came back to his senses and looked at Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng smiled slightly, “After the Fourth Realm had assembled just now, I began testing, and indeed I have already found some definite results…”
Huangtian’s pupils constricted, not expecting Wang Sheng to have handled it so quickly.
“Sir, who are those people or members of the Spirit Clan?”
“Don’t worry, although there are some, it’s not as many as you think, just five!” Nearly 200 from the Fourth Realm, and only five or six traitors, fewer than imagined.
“Please, sir, you must tell me who they are…”
Wang Sheng listed all five assessments but did not deal with them immediately, “How to handle these five people is your matter, whether to kill them directly or to use them, it’s up to you…”
“I will handle it well, Sir!”
After dealing with everything he could on his own, Wang Sheng did not stay longer, as he needed to continue his cultivation.
It was the end of the 35th year of the new calendar, and there was just over a year until the invasion battle.
Wang Sheng went into seclusion again—
Soon it was the 37th year of the new calendar.
