Chapter 406: Chapter 38 National Guardian Level Powerhouses Appear
The simulated Qi Blood Martial Arts, though still far from the true Great Path, was not something simple simulations could compare with.
At this time, in the silent and noiseless change of the Spirit World, many people were engaging in the cultivation of Qi Blood Martial Arts.
As they cultivated, they noticed some changes in their bodies.
âWhatâs going on, why does cultivation now feel the same as in the outside world?â
Those who noted this change were mostly Grandmasters and above, hence for Martial Artists below the Grandmaster level, the simulation was already sufficiently realistic.
However, those above the Grandmaster level felt differently.
No matter how realistic the mimicry, it was still mimicry, and a significant difference could be felt; the stronger they were, the more profound this feeling.
But just now, they sensed a change.
âBefore, there was an unreal feeling, why has it disappeared now, has the Spirit World changed again?â
âSilent and seamless changes, could this Spirit World really be progressing as speculated?â
The strong ones all discussed fervently.
However, these discussions did not last long, as these changes were considered tremendously good news for them.
Previously, from Grandmaster to Great Grandmaster, and even progress within the ranks of the Great Grandmasters, though the Spirit World still offered significant help, many elements still relied on the real world, like how the Spirit World couldnât mimic the essence of the Great Grandmasterâs Qi-Blood, which was a considerable limitation for Great Grandmasters.
But now things were different; this flaw seemed to have been mitigated.
No matter why these changes had occurred, it meant that Great Grandmasters could also utilize the Spirit World for cultivation, not just as a reference tool.
This was a tremendous opportunity for them, heaven knows how much they envied the cultivation state of ordinary Martial Artists.
Wang Sheng watched these peopleâs actions with a satisfied smile.
Clearly, his simulation of Qi Blood Martial Arts was quite successful, helping significantly everyone but the Master of Destiny.
âLetâs see if it can influence the real world!â
This ability was powerful, capable of mimicking the Great Path, but for Wang Sheng, it was merely the icing on the cake.
Its only role might be to attract more, more powerful people to come, allowing him to collect Pure Spiritual Power.
âIf the real world canât utilize it, then this breakthrough in the Spirit World isnât as significant as imagined.â
To be frank, even without such functionality, the Spirit World would anyway not lack visitors.
Thus, Wang Sheng returned to the real world and then tried to use this Great Path simulation ability in the real world.
âDirect use is challenging; I need to find some carriers.â
The first thing he found was the Jade Talisman.
âA Jade Talisman can seal part of my power, and itâs only a part, which is not of great significance to me, but what if I utilize this simulation method?â
The first thing Wang Sheng tried was the âShocking World Dragon Spear,â but it failed to be simulated; however, he also discovered some secrets.
âThe methods of the Spirit World, for now, can only mimic divine thought techniques⊠Otherwise, even if the form is mimicked, it lacks the spirit, which is probably the difference between reality and the Spirit World.â
He was very clear that there would definitely be differences between reality and the Spirit World.
âSince that wonât work, letâs try spiritual techniques.â
He had learned many techniques related to divine thought.
The God-slaying Sword, Summoning Wind and Rain, Strengthening Charms, even the Space Transmission Array all greatly related to divine thought.
This was also why Wang Shengâs combat power decreased after stepping into the Spirit World, but not by much, as the Cultivation of Inner Core Skill leaned more towards divine thought.
So, there were still many techniques he could try.
âLetâs try Summoning Wind and RainâŠâ
Though the God-slaying Sword was his first divine thought Divine Skill, it wasnât as special as Summoning Wind and Rain.
Summoning Wind and Rain could be considered his first true Divine Skill.
âThe simulation of the Spirit World is most important for understanding its basic laws; Summoning Wind and Rain also meets these conditions, from the beginning it was achieved by leveraging basic laws, and the transformations thereafter were also gradually completed by meâŠâ
If it was about imitation, Summoning Wind and Rain was the most appropriate.
Not only as the first Divine Skill but also a skill Wang Sheng gradually developed.
âA Jade Talisman that can store my power, it could previously only seal my simple divine thoughts or Qi-Blood, but if it works this time, perhaps it can store complete abilities.â
Having gone through a simulation of Qi Blood Martial Arts and then another Divine Skill, Wang Sheng found the process much simpler.
Before long, a new Jade Scroll was created.
âThe Summoning Wind and Rain Jade Scroll, although it canât replicate the power I wield when using it myself one hundred percent, over ninety percent of the power can still be achieved, which is much stronger than before.â
What level of power did Wang Sheng wield?
Donât mention ninety percent; even fifty percent far surpassed the strength of Great Grandmasters, meaning this Jade Scroll could suppress most of the powerful figures in this world.
âIs this the effect of simulation, to not only simulate in the Spirit World but even influence the real world?â
Though only having ninety percent of the power, in actual combat, this was quite astonishing.
He does not subscribe to the theory that one must use one hundred and twenty percent of power in actual combat.
Wang Sheng believed that any power he could utilize was effectively one hundred percent.
For instance, certain explosive techniques that could significantly enhance combat ability, were also considered as part of his one hundred percent combat power.
âIf one were to speak of exceeding one hundred percent,â there was only one scenarioâit was through external forces.
For example, someone obtaining Wang Shengâs Jade Talisman would mean surpassing one hundred percent, but the Jade Talisman didnât technically count as oneâs own combat power.
Thus, in actual combat, being able to exert ninety percent of oneâs strength was already considered a qualified standard, not to mention something like the Jade Talisman, which, if prepared in advance, theoretically allowed one to use ninety percent of their combat power with no depletion while the body could still go all out.
âThe skill of creating talismans has finally proven somewhat helpful to me personally!â
Up until now, Wang Sheng could only create talismans comparable to top Great Grandmasters; anything more powerful was beyond his ability. Thus, this skill wasnât really significant for himself.
But now, even just being able to exert ninety percent of his power was a considerable help to him.
âFirst, prepare a bunch of Jade Talismans; if I encounter enemies, Iâll throw out a few dozen. They wonât die but will surely be maimed!â
This was a good way to amplify combat capabilities.
Wang Sheng was very excited for a while but soon calmed down.
âThough this ability is very good and greatly aids me, it still doesnât completely solve my problem.â
The problem he urgently wanted to solve was that his Spirit World had to follow him.
âI must come up with a way that allows the Spirit World to be independent without losing my control over it.â
If the Spirit World were truly independent, that would be putting the cart before the horse.
âThe Heavenly Father and the Black Fog Giant Snakeâs spirits are good references. Last time, I saw more than one Spirit World that existed independently, which shows that itâs not impossible.â
The existence of negative Spirit Worlds indicated that Wang Shengâs ideas were feasible.
âHowever, my Spirit World is somewhat unique; it can be referenced but the Spirit World cannot be completely detached from control.â
Without hesitation, Wang Sheng entered the Spirit World, still eroded by black mist.
âI still need to start with the vortex; I havenât fully understood its essence yet, and there is definitely a lot of potential to unearth.â
If this didnât work, Wang Sheng planned to leave and explore other areas to see what other Spirit Worlds were like.
Maybe by comparing different Spirit Worlds, he could discern their differences.
Time flew, and another month quickly passed.
Wang Sheng returned from the Spirit World.
âWhat a pityâŠâ
Though he gained a lot and it helped his Spirit World, solving the problem of making the Spirit World independent remained elusive.
âI still canât grasp the essence of the vortex!â
If he could fully understand the essence of the Spirit Worldâs vortex, Wang Sheng believed that making the Spirit World independent might not be so difficult.
But those naturally mysterious entities pointed directly to the rules of the universe; they were not so easily understood.
âIt seems I need to find another method; thereâs no way to solve it in this part of the Spirit World.â
âEither I need to enhance my strength or leaveâŠâ
Enhancing strength could accomplish many things.
The fifth stage of âRefining Qi into Godâ was a crucial one, marking a true transformation in the practice.
Once he made a breakthrough, his spiritual power would greatly increase.
By that time, he might find a solution.
If advancing in the Spirit World didnât bring a solution, then he would look forward to a breakthrough in realm that could bring change.
âWith the Spirit World collecting pure spiritual power, a breakthrough isnât too far off!â
Pure spiritual power and undergoing six Inner Core Skill breakthroughs both accelerated his progress.
âIâll go back and prepare for the breakthrough, and after the breakthroughâŠâ
After returning from the Spirit World enveloped in black fog, Wang Sheng once again entered seclusion.
Meanwhile, the Royal Capitals of both dynasties learned about the changes in Wang Shengâs Spirit World.
Jiang Dao, who had already placed great importance on this Spirit World, fell silent upon hearing of these changes.
âThe thing I feared has always happened!â
That so-called Spirit World could indeed elevate someone to become a top Great Grandmaster.
âEven Grandmasters can experience one hundred percent realism just like ordinary Martial Artists; can that world really not pose a threat to me?â
From the day Jiang Dao learned the true stance of the Jiang Family, he believed they were the controllers of this world.
But now, they were becoming less confident.
Mo Yang, the Spirit World, each one was stirring his nerves.
âAh, there are also issues with our ancestors; what should we do nextâŠâ
âAs a member of the Jiang Family, naturally, we control this land!â a voice suddenly appeared, causing Jiang Dao to tense up.
Among those who could approach him silently and also spoke of the Jiang Family controlling the land, there seemed to only be one possibilityâ
âA National Guardian Level powerhouse, which elder is it?â
Indeed, Jiang Dao guessed, this person was a National Guardian Level powerhouse sent by the First Dynasty!
(PS. Made some changes, âFirst Grade Martial Artistâ has been changed to âFirst Gradeâ, and so on).
