There are always some people in the world who are not quite right in the head.
That's what the group of lunatics in the Divine Spirit Cult are like.
They define themselves as Divinity and their primary goal is to destroy current human technological civilization.
In their view, only by erasing human technology can Spirit Body survive in this world.
Since the emergence of the Divine Spirit Cult, these lunatics have caused quite a bit of trouble.
In fact, the Divine Spirit Cult was established before the Paranormal Bureau. They were among the first to know about the existence of Spirit Body and to have mastered the rudimentary technique of temporarily separating Spirit Body from their bodies.
How rudimentary was it? It was truly a near-death experience; if it failed, it would be a real death.
The initial success rate was less than one in a thousand.
Even so, the Divine Spirit Cult managed to create a Li Qiang spiritual warriors using such rudimentary methods.
It can be said that the group of Madman in the Divine Spirit Cult are a Spiritual Power built entirely on human lives.
However, the Divine Spirit Cult has become increasingly flamboyant and Wuji in its actions, but the more tyrannical people are, the more evil they become.
This ultimately drew the utmost attention from the high-ranking officials of the Ancient Country.
Although the Spiritual Power of the Divine Spirit Cult are much stronger than ordinary people, they have only been established for a short time and are not yet able to fight against modern weapons.
During this process, the higher-ups also realized the importance of the Spiritual Power, which led to the establishment of the Paranormal Bureau.
Although the Divine Spirit Cult was destroyed, it was not completely wiped out, especially since Divine Spirit Cult leader, Guan Lan, was not captured and fled overseas.
In recent years, there have been clear signs of a resurgence of the Divine Spirit Cult.
After leaving Zhao Tuohai's office, Bai Hongjiang, the deputy director of the Paranormal Bureau, returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the sofa.
Raise your left wrist; there's something that looks like a wristwatch on it.
This thing is called an exophysicator, a high-tech instrument specifically designed to help Spirit Body temporarily leave their bodies.
Bai Hongjiang tapped his wristwatch twice, and a few seconds later, he entered a near-death state.
Of course, this near-death state is Simulation; it's a deception of the brain's nerves using microcurrents and drugs.
At the same time, a ten-minute countdown appeared on the watch.
This near-death state cannot last too long, otherwise it will cause irreversible damage to the body.
Even near-death can turn into actual death.
Once the countdown ends, the watch will automatically deactivate its near-death state and forcibly pull the departed Spirit Body back into the body.
A dark red Spirit Body emerged from Bai Hongjiang's body and hovered in mid-air.
Bai Hongjiang's Spirit Body has actually reached the Red Mid-Grade Pinnacle; the next step would be the Black High-Grade Spirit Body.
In this state, the Spirit Body can be seen by ordinary people or by monitoring equipment.
After adjusting to his Spirit Body form, Bai Hongjiang said with a wry smile, "No matter how many times, this feeling of being on the verge of death is just awful."
Even Simulation near-death experience isn't pleasant.
The most painful time is when the Spirit Body leaves the body or returns to the body, and the body is in a near-death state or recovering.
Bai Hongjiang passed directly through the wall and flew towards the Ancient Battlefield. He wanted to see who was blatantly Ignore their Paranormal Bureau and trespassing into the Ancient Battlefield.
Meanwhile, Zhao Tuohai was also busy.
Spirit Body that leaves its body will not be away from its physical form for long, so the physical form of this Spirit Body that entered the Ancient Battlefield must be nearby.
Once the physical body is found, it's equivalent to controlling the Spirit Body, since the Spirit Body will eventually return.
The Paranormal Bureau investigation team got busy.
Ling Yi, however, was unaware of all this and was happily devouring these ancient Spirit Body on the battlefield.
He devours Spirit Body at an extremely fast speed; once a spirit comes into contact with him, it can be devoured in an instant.
Even Red Mid-Grade Spirit Body are no exception.
In just half an hour, he devoured thousands of Spirit Body, and his total Spiritual Power reached more than 20,000.
As his Spiritual Power increased, Ling Yi's body became more and more solid, turning red with black hues, and he began to advance towards a higher-level Spirit Body.
Ling Yi's current physical Limit should be around 100,000 Spiritual Power.
Therefore, Ling Yi prepared to absorb 100,000 units of Spiritual Power and then returned to his original body.
However, most of these ancient Spirit Body are ordinary Spirit Body without innate supernatural Divine Ability.
They were all soldiers from ancient times, and it is quite remarkable that they have survived to this day.
Ling Yi was somewhat curious. With such a large number of Spirit Body, including at least hundreds of thousands of Red Mid-Grade Spirit Body, hadn't any ordinary people discovered them before?
You should know that once you reach the Red Mid-Grade, your Spirit Body can be seen by ordinary people.
Perhaps the authorities have suppressed information about the existence of Spirit Body?
However, none of this mattered to Ling Yi.
After all, he had only recently come into contact with Spirit Body and knew very little about Spirit Body existence.
He was unaware of the existence of the Bureau of the Paranormal Bureau and the Divine Spirit Cult, let alone that various countries had already established Spiritual Power legions.
Ling Yi was frantically devouring ancient Spirit Body, while Bai Hongjiang had also entered the Ancient Battlefield, was somewhat dumbfounded.
He couldn't figure out who the external Spirit Body was or where it was.
In addition, the million-strong army of ancient Spirit Body was in a state of "battle," and the battlefield was in chaos. Ling Yi also transformed into the appearance of an ancient Spirit Body.
Finding Ling Yi in a short time will not be easy.
An army of millions of Spirit Body —that's far too many.
Within the range of the Spirit-Binding Net, Spirit Body cannot fly, making them even more difficult to find.
Bai Hongjiang searched for two hours before finally giving up in desperation.
Anyway, this guy can't escape. Within the Spirit-Binding Net, Spirit Body are allowed to enter but not leave.
On the other hand, Ling Yi absorbed a Divine Ability talent.
Divine Ability Talent: Shapeshifting Technique: Allows the user to freely change the appearance of their Spirit Body without any restrictions on its form. At the current level, the maximum or minimum volume Changes Limit is 10 times.
This is the second innate Spirit Body Innate Divine Ability Ling Yi has acquired since he began Spirit Devouring energy.
This talent is incredibly powerful in two ways: one is that there are no restrictions on its appearance, and the other is that it can be enlarged or shrunk.
A tenfold scaling ratio is already an extremely exaggerated figure.
Ling Yi is 1.79 meters tall, which would be 17.9 meters if magnified ten times, or the height of a five- or six-story building.
If shrunk tenfold, it becomes 17.9 centimeters, roughly the length of a regular chopstick.
This greatly increases Ling Yi's safety.
For example, Ling Yi could simply transform into a pigeon and fly in the air, thus avoiding attracting attention.
Ling Yi tried it out, and found that whatever he thought or desired could be Changes into the form he wanted.
Changes can Changes throughout the entire body, or only in a part of the body.
However, today's Spiritual Power absorption has reached its Limit, two hundred thousand Spiritual Power.
If you consume any more, it will exceed your body's capacity.
Once the body's capacity is exceeded, Ling Yi's meridians and Dantian will be Berserk eroded by Spiritual Power, causing damage.
However, just as Ling Yi soared into the sky, preparing to fight fiercely on the Ancient Battlefield, he suddenly crashed into an energy grid and was violently bounced back.
"Holy crap, what is this?" Ling Yi was somewhat surprised.
Undeterred, he flew upwards again, but after reaching a height of three meters above the ground, he could no longer fly higher.
A faint golden energy grid loomed in and out, blocking Ling Yi's path.
Ling Yi changed positions several times, but with the same result each time. Ling Yi understood that this must be an official tactic, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"I was wondering why the authorities weren't taking air defenses. Turns out they have this kind of measure—allowing entry but not exit?"
Ling Yi wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he shrank and flew towards the edge of the Ancient Battlefield.
Ling Yi's target is those official Spirit Body that are still devouring ancient Spirit Body on the edge of the Ancient Battlefield.
Since they were able to enter the Ancient Battlefield, they must also be able to leave Ancient Battlefield.
Just follow them.
"What exactly is this energy net? Has technology gotten this advanced? It can even trap Spirit Body? This world is definitely not as simple as I imagined."
Ling Yi's wariness intensified; it seemed he should try to keep a low profile in the future, as he had ultimately become a bit too arrogant before.
Ling Yi repeatedly Charge the Spirit-Binding Net, which was immediately detected by the Paranormal Bureau, which quickly pinpointed the location of the Charge.
Without a second thought, Bai Hongjiang once again separated his Spirit Body from his body and rushed into the Ancient Battlefield!
However, by the time Bai Hongjiang arrived at the area of Charge, Ling Yi had already reached the edge of the Ancient Battlefield, transforming into a black ribbon and attaching itself to the scabbard of a Spirit Body soldier's longsword.
This is a pale red cesium Spirit Body soldier who has not yet fully entered the intermediate-level Spirit Body, but is still much stronger than an ordinary Spirit Body.
The reason it attached itself to this Spirit Body soldier was because the Spirit Body soldier's time to leave the body had come; it was time to leave the Ancient Battlefield and return to its original body.
After leaving the Ancient Battlefield, Ling Yi did not leave immediately. Instead, he transformed into a black vine and Entanglement around a potted plant.
He was genuinely curious about this mysterious department.
Although Ling Yi wouldn't be their enemy, it's always good to know more about them to avoid touching on their taboos.
The Shapeshifting ability is indeed very useful; no one would have imagined that a powerful Spirit Body would be hidden inside a potted plant in the office.
However, although Ling Yi can Shapeshifting, he cannot Invisibility, nor can he change his color like a cesium dragon, which greatly limits Ling Yi's Shapeshifting ability.
A few minutes later, Bai Hongjiang returned to his office, cursing and swearing.
"Keep a close eye on things, especially the entrances and exits. If you encounter any unfamiliar Spirit Body, take them down immediately. I don't believe they can hide in the Ancient Battlefield forever."
Because most methods of Spirit Body exit from the body in the world today involve temporary Spirit Body exit during near-death experiences.
In this temporary separation from the body, the Spirit Body cannot stray too far from the physical body, nor can it remain there for too long.
Just like him, he can only be separated from his body for a maximum of ten minutes. Beyond that time, his body will become extremely dangerous, and near-death will turn into true death.
He believes Ling Yi is the same.
Unlike other Spirit Body, Ling Yi is not Ling Yi temporary Spirit Body; it is merely a mutated Spirit Body that can return to or leave its original body at any time.
Moreover, Ling Yi's current true form is at the Pill Formation Martial God Realm, so he can easily withstand going without food or water for eight or ten days.
Of course, if it goes on for too long, the apparent death will turn into a real death.
As dawn approached, Ling Yi finally transformed into a pigeon and returned to his body in the hotel.
Ling Yi had a very fruitful night.
Besides a large amount of Spiritual Power, it also involves understanding the Paranormal Bureau.
This world has long since mastered the rudimentary method of temporarily separating Spirit Body from their bodies, and every country is training Spirit Body warriors.
Countries like the Ancient Country, America, and Katyusha already have very mature training and development systems for Spirit Body warriors.
Generally, it takes about two to three years for a Spirit Body warrior to go from birth to Red Mid-Grade Spirit Body.
If Spirit Body warrior possesses innate supernatural Divine Ability, then he is a super Spirit Body warrior, and such a Spirit Body warrior can be considered a strategic-level existence.
For example, Zhao Tuohai, the director of the Ancient Country's Paranormal Bureau, and Bai Hongjiang, the deputy director, both possess their own Innate Talent Divine Ability, making them absolute powerhouses, one in ten thousand.
Zhao Tuohai's Innate Divine Ability is temperature control, ranging from a maximum of 1,000 degrees Celsius to a minimum of 2000 degrees Celsius. He can quickly switch between extreme cold and extreme heat, and it is also an area-of-effect skill.
If that happened in the city, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Bai Hongjiang's Divine Ability talent is Rapid Speed, the kind that reaches tens of thousands of meters per second.
Strategic level, truly deserving of the name!
