Chapter 329: Chapter 274: The Differences in Incense Fire Faith (Day 10,000 of Important Event!)
Watching the raging fire in front of him, Wang Sheng didnât know what to say.
He had thought of many methods, but never expected it to be so simple and brutal as to incinerate the object to revert it.
Was this incinerating a Shariputra?
The problem was, Zhu Long was no high monk!
Zhu Xiao seemed to have read Wang Shengâs thoughts and said, âActually, if he was willing, he could have reverted the object, but I donât think Zhu Long would have agreed willingly.â
In fact, she had never asked.
...
But these were not the main concerns, as Zhu Xiao was not likely to let him go either way, the outcome would be the same.
A body of Grandmaster Level was quite formidable, even if Zhu Xiao had shattered it, not just any flame could easily burn it.
After burning for a while, Wang Sheng, seeing the slow pace, directly used the power of the Fire Transformation Pearl.
Whoosh!
The temperature of the flame instantly increased, and even Zhu Xiao couldnât stand it nearby.
âIs this the power of that Treasure Bead?â Zhu Xiao almost instantly guessed the truth.
âYes.â
Zhu Xiao did not ask further, but she was obviously very interested in this kind of power because there were more important matters at hand.
Wang Shengâs flame was much more terrifying from the beginning, capable of harming a Great Grandmaster.
Moreover, his strength had increased now, and the temperature had risen more than one level from before.
Before long, Zhu Longâs body slowly turned to ashes.
At the same time, a white light appeared within the flames.
Both of them focused instantly.
They knew that the object was gradually appearing.
As the body completely disappeared, the light became stronger, but it did not exceed a certain threshold.
Soon, the light began to fade.
Wang Sheng immediately snuffed out the flames, then both he and Zhu Xiao saw the remaining faintly glowing object.
âA bead? Or an elixir?â
What stood before them was a spherical object, about the size of a babyâs fist, perfectly round, and still showing a bit of luminance.
âNot sure, I only know its general use, as part of a ritual.â
âDo you mind if I have a look?â
âOf course not!â Bringing Wang Sheng here was exactly to show him this object.
Without hesitation, Wang Sheng used his Divine Thought to draw the bead-like object towards him, but he didnât rashly grasp it in his hand.
By then, the bead had returned to being inconspicuous.
The bead was transparent, and it seemed as if clouds and mist were swirling inside. It resembled the Fire Transformation Pearl that Wang Sheng had previously acquired, except for the color.
Having studied the Fire Transformation Pearl for so long, he couldnât say he was completely familiar with it, but he knew, these two were definitely not the same thing.
âI canât make out anything for now; you have a look!â
In such a short amount of time, he couldnât discern anything; he might as well let someone from the Zhu Family have a look.
However, clearly, this object had nothing to do with bloodlines.
What wasnât clear remained so.
âIâm sorry!â
ââŠâ
âLet me keep it for a while, and Iâll study it.â
Wang Sheng couldnât tell more, not just because the object itself was mysterious, but also because there wasnât enough time to study it.
âSure!â Zhu Xiao agreed without hesitation.
Such an object was optional for her.
âI will come back to you after a month.â A month was the deadline Wang Sheng set for himself.
If he couldnât make any discoveries about it in a month, it wouldnât be worth continuing the research.
The two thus made their decision.
Wang Sheng took the mysterious bead back to Qingshan Village and began a secluded meditation.
Indeed, he had underestimated his own Divine Thought and powerful perception of the external world since he had advanced to Qi Refining God.
In about half a month, he had deciphered some aspects.
In that half-month, Wang Sheng figured out some of the structure of the bead.
The glass-like outer layer of the bead was actually a protective coating that locked all the power inside.
And the cloud-like stuff in the bead was the power it intended to lock and protect.
After advancing to Qi Refining God, his Divine Thought underwent transformation, enhancing his penetration ability. He found a clever way through the protective coating and discovered the true nature of those âclouds.â
These were not any clouds, but comprised of countless filament-like forces.
And this power was extremely familiar to Wang Sheng, even something he came into contact with every day.
âThe power of the Incense Fire Faith?â
Wang Sheng was somewhat uncertain; he once again used his Divine Thought to delve deeper.
âSure enough, I was not wrong, but there seems to be some differences!â
The cloud within the bead was indeed the power of the Incense Fire Faith.
If Wang Shengâs realm had not advanced, perhaps he could not have obtained any more information from there.
But after reaching Qi Refining God, he saw more.
âWhile both seem similar, there is a vast difference; the Incense Fire Faith power I suppress seems purer, just pure power, but the power inside the bead⊠it seems to be filled with resentment, this resentment clings like a bone-attaching sore, entangled togetherâŠâ
Though not yet utilized, Wang Sheng knew, once used, he might get entangled by this power.
âWhy is there such a big difference when it looks like the same power? Because the method to harvest this Incense Fire Faith power is inhumane?â
He had long speculated that whether it was the twelve great thieves or the Catastropheâs last-minute intervention, it was all for a better harvest.
Such a harvest had killed many people.
âBut the common people do not know this.â
Because of his strong power and high standing, he could see some things, but in the common peopleâs eyes, the four dynasties were their saviors.
âCould it be that this resentful power actively seeks out?â
In the end, Wang Sheng couldnât figure out the reason. That he could perceive these many details was almost the limit.
After all, he wasnât omniscient.
And compared to the more deeply hidden powers, the resentful Incense Fire Faith power was something he had seen through sufficiently.
Besides the power of Incense Fire Faith, there were other forces in the bead, which Wang Sheng couldnât perceive at all.
But one thing was certain, that power was the core of the bead.
He could only make out one pointâthis power seemed to be connected with the heavens.
âIs it related to the Heavenly Father again?â
It seemed that everything couldnât be separated from the Heavenly Father.
ââŠâ
Eventually, Wang Sheng sighed deeply.
The Heavenly Father, hidden in the dark for over six thousand years, Wang Sheng had no idea how much had been done.
And this beadâ
âAlthough the information was quickly analyzed, it seems difficult to continue analyzing!â
To continue analyzing, he temporarily lacked the capability.
âBut itâs not without its gains.â
The shell of the bead was meant to lock the powers of the Incense Fire Faith. Though complex, it was easier to decipher compared to the power inside the bead.
And he, just happened to have a large wave of Incense Fire Faith powers needing suppressionâŠ
