"Oh! What a pity!"
Wang Hao sighed regretfully and walked to a stone tablet at the edge of the training ground. The tablet was inscribed with the seven precepts of the Mount Hua Sect, presumably to remind Mount Hua disciples to remember the seven precepts and not to break them.
He took a deep breath, drew his knock-off Peerless Sword, and left Six Paths sword marks on the stone tablet, filled with intense Sword Intent.
"Mr. Feng, I'll leave my Holy Spirit Swordsmanship here as a token of our intimacy. I hope that in the future we can explore the secrets of Shattering the Void together!"
"Sheath your longsword, "Wang Hao said calmly and expectantly, exuding an air of superiority.
"You left your unique sword technique here; aren't you afraid someone will find a flaw and use it against you?"
At the edge of the training ground, a little girl of about ten years old couldn't help but speak up. Her bright, large eyes darted around, making her look quite mischievous.
" Lingshan, don't talk nonsense!"
Ning Zhongze, who was standing nearby, was shocked and quickly pulled the little girl back to her side, giving Wang Hao an apologetic look.
Now Wang Hao knew the little girl's identity; she was none other than Yue Lingshan, who had a significant role in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Proud Wanderer.
Speaking of Yue Lingshan, she was a pitiful child. Her Pops castrated himself to revitalize the sect, and her mother also died tragically. To make matters worse, her husband also castrated himself, leaving her to live as a widow, and he eventually died as well.
It evokes feelings of pity and regret!
"Haha... I'd be overjoyed if that happened! I could use these people to perfect my Holy Spirit Swordsmanship!"
With a loud laugh, Wang Hao said with great pride, not at all afraid of others plotting against him.
Of course, the truth is that this is just a disguise he created. If anyone thinks they have seen through the flaws in the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship and tries to outmaneuver him, they will definitely suffer a terrible fate.
Moreover, he created this knock-off version of the Holy Spirit Swordsmanship with the Dao Comprehension Function he had activated, and with the comprehension comparable to a Second Tier- Earth Realm expert. At least in this low-level martial arts world, it can be considered flawless. Finding its flaws is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Didn't you see that even Feng Qingyang didn't dare use the Nine Swords of Dugu to find his weakness?
Therefore, he was very confident about this.
Unaware of the situation, Wheel-Turning King and the others were greatly shocked by Wang Hao's magnanimity, and then deeply admired him.
He dared to test his sword on the entire world; he truly deserves the title of Sword Saint.
"May I ask, young friend Dugu, what is the meaning of your statement about Shattering the Void?"
Suddenly, Feng Qingyang spoke up, asking a crucial question.
He had heard Wang Hao mention the term "Shattering the Void " yesterday, but he hadn't paid attention to it at the time, thinking it was just an illusory and exaggerated claim.
Just like how Taoist School sects often deceive people by saying that their great Taoist School eventually ascend to immortality, everyone knows that it's not an ascension to the Immortal Realm at all, but a normal death. It's just used to deceive people and add some mystery.
For example, the predecessor of the Mount Hua Sword Sect Quanzhen Sect, recorded in its classic texts that Patriarch Chongyang eventually ascended to heaven, but in reality, he just died a normal death. The Mount Hua Sect even has a vague record of the location of Patriarch Chongyang's tomb!
However, the fact that he brought up the idea of Shattering the Void again today is probably not as simple as he thought.
Wheel-Turning King and the others suddenly realized what was happening and turned their gazes toward Wang Hao, awaiting his reply.
"I've been waiting for you to ask that!"
Wang Hao was secretly delighted. He had deliberately brought up the concept of Shattering the Void to lure Feng Qingyang and the others into asking about it, thus laying the groundwork for his future plans.
Unfortunately, when I brought up this concept yesterday while explaining the Golden Bell Shield, those people didn't take it seriously. Today, I tried to bring it up again, and finally, Feng Qingyang responded.
Although he was secretly pleased, Wang Hao remained outwardly calm and bluntly said, "To talk about Shattering the Void, we must first talk about the current cultivation realm. I will not comment much on the current realm of the Central Plains martial arts world, but in our overseas martial arts world, the cultivation realm is divided into five levels."
From lowest to highest level, they are Body Refinement, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Celestial Being, and Shattering the Void.
Body Refinement corresponds to the Third-Rate the Super-First-Rate in your Central Plains martial arts world. The Great Grandmaster Realm is the level you reach when cultivating acquired Acquired True Qi Innate True Qi. After the Great Grandmaster comes the Celestial Being realm, which is derived from the Taoist School concept of the unity of Unity of Heaven and Humanity.
After reaching the Celestial Person Realm, one elevates their strength to the limit that the world can contain, ultimately shattering space, breaking through spatial channels, and ascending to a higher level of world. This process is known as "Shattering the Void."
Wang Hao's bluff left Feng Qingyang, Wheel-Turning King, and the others dumbfounded. They had previously made various guesses about the term "Shattering the Void," but they never expected it to be so sophisticated.
Moreover, this explanation sounds quite plausible; could such a realm truly exist?
"Does Master Dugu mean that other worlds truly exist?"
Puyin seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Wang Hao with an excited expression.
Their Buddhist School includes the concept of three thousand great worlds, so he was the quickest to accept this idea.
This claim is so absurd that it's hard to believe.
"Of course there is! In ancient times, our world had a War God Temple, an extraterrestrial object. Our sect leader, the Great Heavenly Demon King, once entered it and even comprehended the Heavenly Demon Strategy from the War God Illustrations, possessing the potential to directly reach the Shattering Realm."
Wang Hao rolled his eyes and dropped an even more astonishing premise.
That's right, he intends to bring the martial arts power settings of Huang Xiaoming's martial arts novels to the Smiling Proud Wanderer World.
He had previously calculated that to complete the main quest of spreading the Dao, he would have to raise the martial arts limit of this low-level martial arts world of the Smiling, Proud Wanderer at the level of the martial arts novels written by Huang Yi.
This led to the concept of Shattering the Void, mainly to give these martial arts practitioners a goal to strive for, so that they wouldn't have to focus their energy on intrigue and backstabbing.
After all, The Smiling Proud Wanderer World is one of the darker eras depicted in Old Master Jin's works, where the concept of chivalry has almost disappeared.
This environment may not be conducive to the implementation of one's plans, so arrangements must be made in advance.
" The War God Illustrations? The Heavenly Demon Strategy?"
Wheel-Turning King and the others were once again completely bewildered. These were two more divine skills they had never heard of before, but they sounded quite impressive.
"Absurd! Putting aside the fact that the Heavenly Demon Strategy was created by your so-called leader, you claim that the War God Illustrations the War God Temple has existed since ancient times, but why are there no legends about it?"
A thin, elderly man couldn't help but retort, clearly not believing Wang Hao's words.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd suddenly realized what was happening and began to cast suspicious glances at Wang Hao.
Yes, if the War God Temple existed in ancient times, why have they never heard of it?
"How would I know why you haven't heard of it? Perhaps your background is too shallow, you're not qualified enough, or perhaps someone or some force has erased this information."
Wang Hao rolled his eyes and said irritably, while insidiously digging a big pit for Confucian School.
At first, the crowd didn't believe it, but as Wang Hao said this, a terrifying force that Xiongba the Central Plains for nearly two thousand years suddenly came to mind.
It was Confucian School!
If anyone is qualified to erase information about this, then Confucian School is the most qualified and capable of doing so.
"You think it's something just because you say so? You'd better take us to the War God Temple to see for ourselves if you really want us to believe your nonsense."
The gaunt old man who had spoken earlier suddenly spoke again, his old eyes filled with a sinister glint and a murderous intent directed at Wang Hao.
"Bang!"
No sooner had the man finished speaking than Wang Hao flashed in front of him and kicked him to the ground.
"Dare to reveal your killing intent? Do you really think my Peerless Sword, Dugu Jian, is immune to bloodshed?"
With his foot planted on the gaunt old man, Wang Hao's expression was cold, revealing an undisguised killing intent.
Regardless of why this person showed murderous intent towards him, it proved that this person was his enemy, and one cannot be merciful to an enemy.
The Innate Sword Qi surged into the man's body from his feet, directly piercing his dantian and crippling his power.
This is Mount Hua Sect territory, so he can't kill people here. More importantly, he needs to use these people to spread the word about this deception, so he can't go too far.
However, he can be spared punishment but cannot escape death. Even if it is not feasible to kill him, his cultivation must be crippled.
The gaunt old man hadn't expected Wang Hao to be so bold and ruthless, directly crippling his cultivation. He opened his mouth to curse, but Wang Hao kicked him in the mouth, sending his old teeth flying.
This commotion enraged the thin old man, and the impact of his destroyed Upper Dantian him to cough up blood and faint.
"Mr. Feng, out of respect for you, I will refrain from shedding blood in your Mount Hua Sect today. But some people should not push their luck. I will say what I want to say, believe it or not. If anyone dares to be so blind, don't blame me, Dugu Jian, for being ruthless! Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Wang Hao swept his gaze over the crowd with an undisguised chilling killing intent.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as Wang Hao's cold gaze swept over them, but no one dared to speak up about it again, much less stand up for the gaunt old man.
"Are you kidding? They all sensed the killing intent that old man just displayed. For a weakling to show killing intent in front of a strongman is tantamount to courting death. Even if Wang Hao had killed that guy on the spot, they wouldn't have said anything."
This is a rule of the game, and everyone must abide by it.
"Thank you for showing Dugu, young friend Dugu. I am deeply grateful!"
Feng Qingyang also spoke up to express his gratitude, then glanced at the crowd around him and invited Wang Hao, "This isn't the place to talk. Why don't you join me, young friend Dugu, for a deeper discussion at the Sword Qi Soaring to the Heavens Hall? I'm extremely curious about that Shattering the Void!"
" Amitabha Buddha, what Benefactor Feng says is very true. Benefactor Dugu, please do not be angry with that petty person. This old monk also has some doubts that I would like to ask you for some advice."
Puyin chanted a Buddhist prayer, and the others chimed in, urging Wang Hao to continue.
Whether it's true or false, I'll listen first; there's no harm in it anyway.
"Very well, then I'll tell you what's going on here."
Wang Hao also took advantage of the steps laid out by the others to step down. After all, his real purpose was to completely deceive these people, so he naturally wouldn't ruin his well-planned scheme because of a little anger.
The group walked towards the Righteous Qi Soaring to the Heavens Hall with smiles on their faces. Except for Wang Hao, everyone else was filled with anticipation and excitement.
