Chapter 509: Chapter 44: Thought Entanglement, Blood Power God

This young Daoist is actually an incarnation of Qingxu True Monarch?!

Li Fei was truly shocked.

Why would Qingxu True Monarch, the leader of Daluo Sect, disguise himself as a young Daoist within his own sect?

And why did he personally deliver the Lifespan Extension Pill to the Daluo Sect disciple he had “possessed”?

Whoosh––

Just as Li Fei was distracted, the Tao Sword previously wielded by Qingxu True Monarch appeared in his hand, and he once again slashed towards Li Fei.

The next second, Li Fei was forcibly ejected from the Dream Realm.

He slowly opened his eyes, feeling both joy and worry.

The joy was that he owned a dream realm that could simulate a True Monarch as a sparring partner, a treatment that many people yearned for but could never obtain.

The worry was how he was going to defeat a True Monarch in the Dream Realm?

Even if the Qingxu True Monarch in the Dream Realm was far inferior to his real body, and even if Li Fei could greatly weaken his combat power in the Dream Realm, it was still an extremely difficult task.

“Could it be that Qingxu True Monarch is the mastermind behind the loss of the elixirs at Daluo Sect?”

Such a thought flashed through Li Fei’s mind.

Upon reflection, if the elixir loss incident was indeed orchestrated by Daluo Sect itself, then Qingxu True Monarch, as the leader, would indeed be the most suspect.

In this light, the Crown Prince’s warning made sense. If Li Fei truly wished to forcefully investigate the truth and find the lost elixirs, it could indeed be very dangerous!

In the room, after regulating his breath for a short while, Li Fei re-entered the Dream Realm…

The next morning.

Li Fei left the Imperial City and headed directly to the Zhi Ge Pavilion headquarters.

There, he found Luo Shi:

“Lord Luo, have all the people arrived?”

“They have.”

“Then we can set off.”

“Very well.”

Luo Shi didn’t waste words and ordered someone to notify the rest of the personnel.

Around ten minutes later, a total of twenty-nine people gathered in the courtyard outside the house where Luo Shi was located.

Among these twenty-nine people, there were five Court Officials, all at the Tao Foundation Stage.

The remaining twenty-four were all official martial masters of the Zhi Ge Pavilion, holding honorary titles and positions equivalent to Imperial Officials.

These people all had expressions as if their mothers had died, looking extremely despondent.

Getting involved in such a troublesome task was certainly not inspiring.

Li Fei stood next to Luo Shi, facing the twenty-nine people, and spoke:

“Gentlemen, I am Li Fei. I will be traveling with you to investigate the case at Daluo Sect. I believe everyone is aware of the difficulty of this investigation, so I won’t say much more. We’re all in the same boat now, and I hope we can work together and successfully complete this mission.”

After speaking, he bowed respectfully to the twenty-nine people.

The twenty-nine people also returned the gesture, but they all seemed somewhat listless.

Li Fei didn’t mind and with a wave of his hand:

“Let’s go!”

The group then took a vehicle from the Zhi Ge Pavilion’s headquarters to the train station and boarded a special train.

On October 4th, the train departed Lanling City, heading towards Daluo Sect.

At this moment, the future was uncertain, and where the torrent of fate would flow was unknown.

…

“Magic and Martial Arts are two sides of the same whole, with Mind Power and Void Thought can be viewed as two forces, one Yin and one Yang…”

In a private compartment, Li Fei sat by the window, the sunlight streaming in and illuminating the notebook in his hands.

He was reading Lin Tianyi’s notes.

He skipped directly to the latter part of the “Dual Cultivation of Martial Arts and Magic” and browsed the last section.

Lin Tianyi’s recounting of Mind Power and Void Thought in the notes matched Li Fei’s own experiences, but it included many more details, making Li Fei nod repeatedly with a sense of sudden clarity.

Because Li Fei was already quite adept at converting between Spiritual Power and Void Thought, he quickly grasped these theoretical concepts and soon reached the practical application section.

Lin Tianyi wrote a total of eleven methods on how Martial Arts and Magic can be coordinated, among which Li Fei found one that was particularly suitable for himself—Thought Entanglement.

Martial Artists’ Spiritual Power is internalized, and unless they have a special Extraordinary Ability or are wielding Tao Power, it is not possible to manifest their Spiritual Power externally to affect the minds of others.

Special Extraordinary Abilities are hard to come by, and the requirements for Tao Power are even higher, with massive consumption, making it impractical as a routine method.

Although Magicians can easily externalize their Void Thoughts to influence others, once they encounter Martial Artists with robust Qi-Blood, strong Force, and unwavering will, their Void Thoughts get severely weakened, greatly limited.

‘Thought Entanglement’ is meant to resolve the shortcomings of both, allowing them to complement each other.

Simply put, it involves using a specific Taoist Technique as the main body and intertwining Void Thoughts and Spiritual Power through special tricks.

In this way, Spiritual Power can be dragged out by Void Thoughts, and Void Thoughts can also gain the ‘protection’ of Spiritual Power, thus no longer susceptible to the Martial Artists’ essence, energy, and spirit.

When combined, the effect of the Taoist Technique can be doubled!

Upon seeing this technique, Li Fei’s eyes lit up instantly.

He had been troubled by the inability to combine the Blood Power with Martial Arts, and now he had finally found a way!

Lin Tianyi’s ‘Thought Entanglement’ written in the notes was merely a bare technique without involving specific Taoist Techniques. It required the learner to explore and think slowly on their own.

Li Fei discovered that people with high talent seemed to share a common problem—they were not very good at teaching others.

Since they possessed extremely high talent, many things that seemed difficult to others appeared trivial to them, adopting an attitude of ‘having hands is enough’ or ‘does this even need practice?’.

The content that Lin Tianyi wrote in this notebook was filled with such a style.

His explanation of ‘Thought Entanglement’ didn’t touch on any concrete examples, with many places bearing that ‘easy to achieve’, ‘skip this part’, and ‘from this, it can be known’ kind of style…

No wonder those who got their hands on this notebook wrote that ‘the difficulty is extreme, there’s great risk, try cautiously’.

If someone with insufficient talent tried to force themselves to practice this, they could indeed cause significant problems!

Before, Li Fei had heard that Heavenly Tower had extremely high standards for accepting disciples, preferring not to accept a single disciple for several years rather than lowering their standards.

It seems indeed necessary now.

Under normal circumstances, it would take Li Fei more than a single day and night to master “Thought Entanglement.”

Because his actual talent and comprehension were not as incredible as the outside world assumed.

But Li Fei had “Blood Power.”

“Blood Power” was a form of Magic that was released directly from the Myriad Blood Pearl without requiring Li Fei to spend any effort casting it, greatly reducing the difficulty of using “Thought Entanglement” by more than half!

Not only that, after the enhancement of “Blood Power,” it transformed from a single-target to a multi-target attack, allowing Li Fei to release up to ten Magics at the same time, significantly improving his control over Magic.

This was perfect for practicing “Thought Entanglement”:

He could entwine several strands of “Blood Power” with his Spiritual Power in a special way.

Even if he made a mistake during the practice, it wouldn’t matter; Li Fei had the Myriad Blood Pearl to bear the damage, so there was no need to worry about damaging his spirit or deviation.

He could boldly experiment, recklessly even.

…

The speed of trains in this era was not fast; even without stops, the journey from Lanling City to Daluo Town took over nine days.

After boarding the train, Li Fei spent all his days shut in a compartment studying “Thought Entanglement,” ceaselessly trying to combine his Spiritual Power with “Blood Power.”

By the seventh night, he had finally made initial progress!

At a thought from Li Fei, he expended 10 Blood Souls to cast “Blood Power,” then split it into ten separate Magics.

Immediately after, he entwined these ten Magics with his own Spiritual Power.

This process had to be quick because “Blood Power” could not persist for too long after being released.

This was the greatest difficulty in “Thought Entanglement.”

Fortunately, Li Fei’s Spiritual Power was strong enough, and after the enhancement of “Blood Power,” its control was also strong enough.

At this moment he had finally succeeded in completing this step.

The next second, a powerful wave of Magic fluctuated within the compartment and was blocked by the Concealing Array inside.

But soon, Li Fei noticed that the Concealing Array he had set up was showing signs of faltering and was about to be broken!

He wasn’t alarmed but delighted.

Normally, the Magic fluctuation from the ten Blood Souls he used to cast “Blood Power” wasn’t strong, and it couldn’t break through the Concealing Array he had set up, whether in a dispersed or combined state.

But now that the Array was about to be broken, it indicated a fundamental change in “Blood Power.”

After fusing with his powerful Spiritual Power, “Blood Power” not only doubled in strength but also gained a certain suppressive effect against other Magics.

This meant that Li Fei had initially completed the integration of “Blood Power” with Martial Arts!

Previously “Blood Power” couldn’t keep up with Li Fei’s pace, and what was once a killer move had become a last resort.

Now “Blood Power” had finally risen again!

After fusing with Spiritual Power, it would be able to affect powerful Martial Artists.

Currently, Li Fei had a total of 559 Blood Pearls, meaning he could use up to 55.9 Blood Souls to cast “Blood Power.”

If used in a “Blood Demon State,” with doubled strength, and further fused with powerful Spiritual Power, such “Blood Power” might be even more powerful than the psychic attacks generated by Tao Power!

Maybe it could even compare with the skill “Dragon Ascending” used by the Eldest Prince!

Previously, Li Fei had been regretful for not being able to obtain the “Purple Sage Vajra Skill,” but now he had made up for it with his own hands.

“”Blood Power” merged with Spiritual Power, I’ll name this move “Blood Power God.”

A smile appeared on Li Fei’s face, and he felt genuinely happy from within.

From this moment on, he had another powerful move at his disposal.

This feeling of having finally solved a difficult problem through his own efforts was ecstatic!

And the feeling of his strength continuously growing was utterly mesmerizing!

Under such mental stimulation, despite the continuous hard training with hardly any rest for himself.

But Li Fei didn’t feel the slightest bit bitter.

He got up to stretch, tidied up the Concealing Array inside the room, and decided to leave the compartment to have a chat with Luo Shi.

After all, they were approaching the Daluo Sect.

“Mr. Li.”

Inside the carriage, Luo Shi, seeing Li Fei walking out of the compartment, hurriedly called out.

Even if Li Fei didn’t come to find him, he had planned to look for Li Fei.

Seeing Li Fei walking towards him, Luo Shi’s eyes held a complex expression.

He had witnessed how intensely Li Fei had been working these past few days!

“Mr. Luo.”

Li Fei walked over and sat down across from Luo Shi.

Only the two of them were in this carriage.

“We’re about to reach the Daluo Sect. Mr. Li, do you have any thoughts on the upcoming investigation?” Luo Shi asked.

Just as Li Fei was about to speak, a man suddenly ran into the carriage.

The newcomer was a Sitting Official from Zhi Ge Pavilion, a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse.

With a grave expression, he said,

“Both your lordships, we’ve just received an urgent report from our spy in Daluo Town!”

“What report?” Luo Shi looked at him.

The man spoke with disbelief in his voice,

“True Man Qingding is dead!”
