I Will Embark on a Crusade and Hunt in Peppa's Name!

I shall hunt and patrol in the guise of Peppa! The Spirit Race primarily cultivates mental power, leaving their physical bodies frail.

Their invasion is likely not just for the sake of "conquest" or "indoctrination."

It is for the sake of possession!

They seek to seize the special constitutions of the human race, especially an excellent furnace like him, who possesses the Innate Dao Body!

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why this thing ignored Du Qionghua and Liu Xin, the mother and daughter sleeping more soundly and possessing weaker auras in the house...

And instead, headed straight for his room!

Another question surfaced.

Where was its physical body?

Wang Xiaoming had clearly stated in the news that the Spirit Race possessed physical forms.

Yet, that Spirit Race life form from just now was, from start to finish, nothing but pure mental energy, no different from his own projected divine sense.

So...

Was this merely a clone?

Was it a scout stone split off from a more powerful Spirit Race entity?

Chen Yan's expression darkened.

He had thought he still had a year to develop.

Now it seemed he had already been targeted.

The crisis had arrived ahead of schedule.

With a shift of his thoughts, he guided that mass of pure mental energy to merge with his own consciousness.

A cooling sensation instantly surged through his entire body, rushing straight to the top of his head.

"Ouch, damn!"

Chen Yan was caught off guard by this surge of energy, yet it felt rather pleasant...

The energy circulated according to the path of his Meditation Method, unexpectedly manifesting a colossal figure that stood between heaven and earth within his consciousness.

The figure was incomparably majestic; Chen Yan felt a stinging pain in his eyes after just one glance.

For no reason, he wanted to see that face clearly.

Chen Yan exerted all his strength, forcing his will to look.

That face... was so familiar.

It was none other than himself!

Has the Meditation Method gone awry? Am I starting to visualize myself?

Chen Yan was startled, his mind in turmoil.

Boom!

The giant shadow shattered instantly, transforming back into a surging torrent of energy that thoroughly integrated into his small body.

Following that came an extreme sense of comfort.

A massive tonic!

This was a top-tier supplement for the soul!

He clearly felt his sea of consciousness expanding and solidifying before his very eyes.

His divine sense, which had previously only been able to cover the villa, suddenly extended outward.

It passed through the courtyard walls, crossed the small path, and reached all the way to the main road on the outskirts of the community.

The vehicles driving on the road, the buzzing of insects, the rustling of wind through the leaves...

Everything was clearer than ever before, presented within his "mind's eye."

"Now I can see even with my eyes closed!" Chen Yan was greatly satisfied.

He immediately summoned the system panel.

[Host: Chen Yan]
[Age: 1 year old]
[Cultivation: Amateur Fifth Dan]
[Vitality: 1655/2000]

[Skills:]

[Meditation Method (Proficient) (1000/10000)]

[Divine Sense Differentiation (Proficient) (500/10000)]

His Spirit stat had surged by a full 100 points!

The proficiency of his [Meditation Method] had also skyrocketed from 500 to 1000 points!

As for [Divine Sense Differentiation], it had jumped straight from 0 to 500!

So... hunting the Spirit Race is the most efficient way to cultivate!

A sharp glint flashed in Chen Yan's eyes.

Rather than waiting passively, it was better to take the initiative!

How could this Heavenly Emperor Chen allow alien races to slumber soundly beside his own bed?

Actively hunting these Spirit Race scouts would not only rapidly increase his strength, but perhaps he could also follow the vine to find their lair in Jiang City!

That so-called "Spirit Race Invasion Portal"!

With this thought, Chen Yan no longer felt a shred of hesitation and immediately began his cultivation for the night.

He first activated [Divine Sense Differentiation], splitting his spiritual power into four strands to simultaneously practice [Qi Nurturing Foundation Art], [Meditation Method], [Godly Movement], and [Shadow Concealment].

Afterward, he spread out the paintings he had created during the day in front of him.

The most conspicuous among them was the one he had painted using the high-grade oil paints his uncle had given him... Peppa Pig.

He diverted a sliver of his focus to activate [Image Projection Scroll]!

Then, with a thread of spiritual power, he carefully injected it into the painting.

Hum...

The oil paint on the paper began to emit a faint glow.

The next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded.

The cartoon figure, wearing a pink dress with a hairdryer-shaped head and two little ears, actually "stood up" from the two-dimensional paper!

Its form shifted from ethereal to solid, rapidly condensing into a palm-sized entity that felt like some kind of special gelatinous material!

Chen Yan's heart stirred.

He sensed that he could inject a wisp of his divine sense into the body of this Peppa Pig to achieve remote control!

Let's try it!

A subtle wisp of divine sense probed into the Peppa Pig's body.

In an instant, a brand-new perspective, one much lower than his own, appeared in Chen Yan's field of vision.

The furniture in the room all seemed incredibly tall.

He could see his own infant body sitting cross-legged on the carpet, and he could smell the lingering scent of milk in the air.

Although the sensory range of this perspective was much narrower than his pure divine sense projection—covering only about ten meters around him—

But...

Peppa Pig could walk!

It had a physical form!

A playful spirit seized Chen Yan. He controlled Peppa Pig to trot its short legs, da-da-da, running to the edge of the balcony.

Then, it leaped!

Plop.

Peppa Pig tumbled from the second-floor balcony onto the lawn below.

Chen Yan immediately felt a slight tremor from the wisp of divine sense injected within, as if a game character's "health bar" had been chipped away by a small notch.

It didn't matter; its movement remained completely unaffected.

He controlled Peppa Pig to stand up, brush off the non-existent dust from its body, and then swagger down the middle of the residential complex's main road.

This Painting Spirit Animation is actually quite interesting!

A mischievous smile curled the corners of Chen Yan's mouth.

If any insomniac neighbor happened to be out for a night run, they would likely witness a scene they would never forget...

A bizarre cartoon pig, bearing the marks of a fall, was strutting down the center of the silent, deserted road with an arrogant, unbothered gait.

It was too eerie...

This was the real deal when it came to supernatural events!

From now on, I will patrol all of Jiang City in the guise of Peppa!

One day, I will drag all you skulking cowards out into the light!

Chen Yan steeled his heart.

He maneuvered Peppa Pig to begin a carpet-style search throughout the residential compound.

Just as his divine sense was on the verge of exhaustion, a trace of abnormality suddenly flickered into the "field of vision" of Peppa Pig.

From the gap in the curtains of a third-floor apartment in a building tucked away in the corner of the complex, a streak of unnatural, chilling aura seeped out.

That aura was identical to the Spirit Race lifeform he had just devoured!

Chen Yan did not act rashly.

He silently memorized the building's address.

The next second, the mental energy injected into Peppa Pig was completely depleted.

The cartoon pig walking along the road instantly dissolved into specks of light.

It vanished into the night breeze without a trace, leaving nothing behind.
