Just imagine, the intelligence network developed by the Wang family receives a vast sea of information from various counties. This information is peppered with a great deal of redundant data. Without a system to assist in filtering and sorting, the task of processing this plethora of information could be enough to make anyoneâs head spin.
Moreover, when humans manually process information, mistakes are inevitably made in the face of an overwhelming amount of data. The reliability of using a system for these tasks far surpasses that of human intervention.
This is only the most basic system. If Zuoqiu Qingyun truly possesses the kind of personal system found in fictional stories, then the collateral benefits would be considerable~
While Wang Shouzhe was deep in thought,
Suddenly.
A flash of light burst from the jade pendant, and a dark grey shadow resembling smoke leapt out, baring its fangs and claws. Without warning, it lunged towards Wang Shouzheâs head.
"Ha ha ha~~Boy, obediently let this old man into your Spiritual Platform~ hehehe~~~ I can assure you that I will help you become an unrivaled power, control the world at your leisure, lie with beautiful women, and perhaps even become a ruler, with a good chance of taking command of a whole country."
Accompanied by successive evil laughter, the dim shadow disappeared in the air with a flash.
Before Wang Shouzhe could react, the dark grey "smoke" had already entered his forehead.
From Elder Jiangâs point of view, although his Divine Soul Power was nearly depleted, dealing with Wang Shouzhe, a mere youngster in the late stages of the Spirit Platform Realm, was more than enough.
However, his Divine Sense had just entered Wang Shouzheâs sea of consciousness and yet had not begun to probe the Spiritual Platform before it hit an impregnable wall, unable to advance an inch further.
At the same time.
Behind Wang Shouzhe, faint blue light suddenly emerged.
Within the light, a vague and blurry figure sat cross-legged, surrounded by a vibrant life force. The totem-like intricacies were intermittently visible within the light, exuding immense majesty and sanctity. At first glance, it appeared like an ancient deity which would cause anyoneâs heart to waver.
This apparition was indeed Wang Shouzheâs Dharma Shadow.
As soon as the Dharma Shadow appeared, Elder Jiangâs spirit remnant was immediately ejected from the sea of consciousness, and an intimidating pressure instantly heavily suppressed it.
"How is this possible? How can your Spiritual Platform Divine Sense be so powerful?" Elder Jiangâs Spirit Remnant couldnât believe it, "You, you, you...your bloodline has actually reached the Spiritual Body! How is this possible? You, you are also a Great Heavenly Proud?!"
Today, are Great Heavenly Prouds so invaluable? Do you just bump into two of them? And are both from the same family?
Wait a minute!
His attention was suddenly drawn to the Dharma Shadow behind Wang Shouzhe, and his voice became sharp: "Dharma Shadow...why is your Dharma Shadow so...terrifying...young man, no, young master, please spare me~~~I, no, your humble servant was wrong!"
This sequence of events left Wang Shouzhe slightly bewildered too.
He didnât want that old ghostâs Divine Soul dwelling in his Spiritual Platform. He instinctively exerted his Divine Sense power to resist and expel the soul, but unexpectedly, he has coalesced the Dharma Shadow.
What he didnât expect even more, was the intimidating aura emitted by the Dharma Shadow. It could completely suppress the old ghostâs fragmentary Divine Soul, preventing it from moving a single inch.
"Shouzhe, are you alright?" the Old Ancestor Longyan descended from the sky, asking with concern.
"Rest assured, Ancestor," Wang Shouzhe was slightly embarrassed, "This time, I was too reckless, and almost fell for this old ghostâs trick."
Although this Spirit Remnant used to be a formidable entity, without a physical body to rely upon, the Remnant Soul was in reality quite vulnerable.
The inner sea of consciousness was after all the home ground of the cultivator, holding the home ground advantage. Barring a bloodline as strong as Wang Shouzheâs, or someone who had specifically refined their Divine Soul, it was difficult for the Spirit Remnant to successfully dwell in the body.
Furthermore, even if the Spirit Remnant was able to successfully dwell in the body, it was impossible to instantly take control of the new body. It would necessarily undergo a lengthy process of adjustment, or require special secret techniques in order to successfully take over.
If there had been fewer restrictions, this spirit remnant would have long since wiped out Zuoqiu Qingyunâs divine sense and completely assumed control of his body. Would there have been as much trouble in the present situation then?
Of course, this is not to say that the danger did not exist.
Once a Divine Soul has reached a certain level of progression, it will develop many mysteries. Many things are beyond the comprehension and feeling of Wang Shouzheâs current cultivation realm, and there is no guarantee that there wonât be any emergencies.
Just in case, by some misfortune, the Spirit Remnant successfully dwells in the body, Wang Shouzhe might not immediately lose control over his body, but his future actions would inevitably be hindered. Moreover, if he succumbs to severe injury, or if his mind is lost in an illusion, it would present an opportunity for the Spirit Remnant to temporarily gain control over his body.
At that point, Heaven only knows what that spirit could do with his body.
Thinking about these potentially troublesome situations made Wang Shouzhe feel a chill down his spine. He felt that he had been too careless. His Storage Ring did not have any items prepared in advance to restrict or seal the Spirit Remnant.
What would happen if his Divine Soul and Dharma Shadow were not that strong, or if the old ghost had other means?
"This isnât your fault," Old Ancestor Longyan reassured him, seeing his confusion. "Instances of Divine Realm Powerhouses leaving behind a Spirit Remnant are extremely rare and are scarcely recorded in the annals. Lack of relevant experience and complete information naturally makes it difficult to anticipate everything."
With that, a chilling light flashed in her eyes. An endless killing intent enveloped the old ghostâs Spirit Remnant, as if in the next moment, a sword intent would tear it to shreds.
