"You don't need to worry too much. Because of Lang Fanyun's warning back then, for hundreds of years, no Shattering Realm expert has dared to Shattering the Void and ascend to the Upper Realm. And at their level, they cannot show themselves or make a move, otherwise, if they make a slight mistake, they will shatter the void and be pulled to the Upper Realm."
Moreover, the Central Plains is somewhat special; the space here is much more fragile than elsewhere. Experts at the Shattering Realm will not come here. In fact, if experts at the Celestial Person Realm or even the Shattering Realm appear in the Central Plains, they will be drawn away by the experts from our overseas martial arts world.
Otherwise, if the Void is shattered here, a large-scale spatial storm will inevitably form, which will not only destroy and shred the space itself, but also cause unpredictable consequences, and even endanger the entire world.
Therefore, experts at the Shattering Realm and even the Celestial Person Realm will not be coming to the Central Plains for the time being. Even if they do come, they will keep a low profile and will absolutely not cause any conflict with you...
Seeing that Wheel-Turning King had been frightened, Wang Hao offered some words of comfort, while also taking the opportunity to deceive him once again.
After all, there's a limit to how much you can fool people; going too far with your deception won't end well.
"You yourself said it's only temporary!"
With a bitter smile, Wheel-Turning King was truly horrified by this.
But being of royal lineage, his mental fortitude was far beyond that of ordinary people. He quickly regained his composure, pondered for a moment, and asked in a deep voice, "You just mentioned that the spatial structure of my Central Plains is weaker than that of other places. Is this the reason why the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult and the Great Heavenly Demon are plotting against my Central Plains?"
He felt as if he had grasped the crux of the matter and the key point. If they could pinpoint this, they could at least gain some control over the situation.
"That's right. For some reason, the stability of space in the Central Plains is much weaker than in other places. If we want to shatter the space of the entire world and achieve Whole-World Ascension, the Central Plains will be the best choice."
However, you don't need to be discouraged. This is both a crisis and a great opportunity for you.
If the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult's plan succeeds and it truly achieves Whole-World Ascension, the Central Plains will undoubtedly become the core of its post-ascension base, possessing unparalleled advantages in terms of resources and other aspects.
If it weren't for the Great Heavenly Demon's warning, many sects and families from overseas martial arts circles would have wanted to move to your Central Plains martial arts world!
Even I couldn't help but leave behind the legacy of the Sword Faction Sect at the Mount Heng Sword Sect, making plans for the future...
Wang Hao nodded, first agreeing with Wheel-Turning King's conjecture, and then began to further deceive them. Today, he was going to completely confuse these two!
"So, you're saying we need to become stronger firstly to prepare for the potential disasters caused by the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult Whole-World Ascension, and secondly to fight against the enemies we might face after ascending to the upper realm?"
While Wheel-Turning King was still pondering, Xu Miaoyin had already summarized the key points in Wang Hao's words.
After all, she came from a military background, and her perspective on things differed from that of royalty like Wheel-Turning King; sometimes she focused more on the essence of matters.
"Clever!"
Looking at Xu Miaoyin with appreciation, Wang Hao was quite satisfied with the girl's cooperation. Letting her think outside the box was much more effective than simply trying to fool her.
"Our overseas martial arts world can only roughly guess that there may be powerful enemies in the ascended upper realm, enemies so powerful that a single or small number of the Shattering Realm experts cannot deal with them."
Faced with this unknown existence, we can only try our best to improve our own strength. The overseas martial arts world has already reached its limit, and it is unlikely that many strong individuals will emerge in the short term.
But your Central Plains are different; they are like an uncultivated wilderness. As long as enough seeds are sown, they will yield abundant fruit, and in the future, they will surely become the backbone of the resistance against the Upper Realm."
While Wang Hao was diligently persuading them, Xie Feng, who was squatting in the blood pit, didn't even bother to roll his Byakugan. He already knew that Wheel-Turning King and Xu Miaoyin would definitely be fooled this time.
Since he started following this lord, he has never seen anyone who could be fooled by him!
Clearly, Wheel-Turning King and Xu Miaoyin would be no exception!
"You mean that overseas martial arts circles will eventually bring their traditions back to the Central Plains?"
As if she had suddenly realized something, Xu Miaoyin's eyes lit up, and she looked very happy.
Wheel-Turning King gave Xu Miaoyin a strange look. He had only just realized what was happening, but he was several steps slower than the Nüwa beside him. This was proof of his talent.
Such talent is worth recruiting and nurturing; it seems this trip has been quite fruitful!
"Indeed, in the plan set by the Great Heavenly Demon, we, the Tribulation Lords of the Ten Directions, were chosen to spread the martial arts heritage overseas. This was done in order to leave our heritage in the Central Plains in case of any unforeseen circumstances."
Secondly, it is to gather and utilize the Fortune of the Central Plains martial arts world to help our Tribulation Lords of the Ten Directions quickly break through to the Shattering Realm and become the second batch of main forces to fight against the enemies of the Upper Realm after those reclusive powerhouses.
The strong individuals who have grown up in the Central Plains are the third and possibly the last main force. One of our missions is to nurture and protect you until you finally reach your full potential!
Wang Hao continued his earnest bluff, introducing the concept of Fortune, which the two people in front of him were sure to press for more information.
As expected, upon hearing the word "Fortune," Wheel-Turning King couldn't help but ask, "May I ask you, Lord Wuming, to elaborate on the existence of Fortune? If there is anything we can do, the Da Ming royal family will certainly provide our full assistance."
The Fortune of destiny has existed since ancient times, but it is very vague and ethereal, and no one has ever seen it. Therefore, most people think it is just a fabrication to fool people.
He used to think that kind of talk was nonsense and a scam, but hearing it from this big shot in front of him made him think differently.
Given the other party's strength and status, there's no reason for them to lie or deceive, so the talk of Fortune is likely true.
" The Fortune is actually quite simple. Each living being has different levels of Fortune based on its own strength and status. When many living beings gather together to form a race, they will merge into a race's Fortune. If the race's Fortune is strong enough, it can even coalesce into a form and forge Fortune True Spirit."
For example, the Huaxia land unified the world during the reign of Emperor Xuanyuan, and forged the Fortune Golden Dragon. The Fortune of subsequent dynasties basically followed the form of the Fortune Golden Dragon.
Unfortunately, the secret method for forging the Fortune True Spirit was lost after the Emperor Xuanyuan; otherwise, Fortune Dynasty that would last forever could have been established. It is said that Master Kong, the ancestor of Confucian School, once comprehended the method for forging the Fortune True Spirit and even created the Literary Qi Nourishing Method.
It's unclear why Master Kong sealed this method away in his later years, or whether any of its transmission has been preserved. Our Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult Sect's leader, the Great Heavenly Demon, once said he was willing to exchange his own Heavenly Demon Strategy for this Literary Qi Nourishing Method...
Wang Hao rambled on and on, and in the end, Xu Miaoyin walked aside, looking completely bewildered, to slowly process what he had said. Meanwhile, Wheel-Turning King Zhuanlun walked away with a gloomy expression and then ordered the 30,000 infantrymen to help clean up the battlefield, burning and burying the remains of the grassland tribesmen on the spot to prevent the spread of plague.
"My lord, it seems these two have been completely fooled too!"
After Wheel-Turning King and Xu Miaoyin left, Xie Feng jumped out of the blood pit not far away and looked at Wheel-Turning King and Xu Miaoyin with a hint of pity.
These are two poor kids!
"I was definitely misled, but not everything I said was a lie!"
Rolling his eyes at Xie Feng, Wang Hao casually grabbed a tattered leather armor set from the side, used his blood to make a copy of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms on it, and tossed it over, saying, "This is the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms passed down from the Great Hero Guo. Take it and use it as a reference. Don't underestimate your abilities. Although I told them a lot of lies, the Celestial Person Realm and the Shattering Realm are real!"
After speaking, Wang Hao closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and activated his Dao Comprehension Function to break down and re-analyze the Basic Fist Skill.
To save time, he initially combined five martial arts techniques—fist, palm, finger, leg, and claw—into one, forming the Foundation Establishment Fist Art.
At the time, it seemed fine, but since I was going to turn the Black Tortoise True Art Ten Strong Martial Arts that I had concocted into reality, I had to match the set of those foundation-building external skills with the settings of the Ten Strong Martial Arts one by one.
It's sufficient for weapon-based martial arts, but the five types of fists, palms, fingers, legs, and claws need to be separated.
Fortunately, his current martial arts foundation is profound enough, and he has reached the Grandmaster Realm level, so deduce this First Tier martial art with ease.
Even without activating the Dao Comprehension Function, he could still deduce it; it would just take some time.
Does it really exist?
After taking the tattered leather armor containing a copy of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms manual, Jie Xie Feng looked at Wang Hao suspiciously, unsure whether what he said was true or false.
After all, the Celestial Person Realm was one thing, but the Shattering Realm was just too exaggerated, making it truly hard to believe.
In fact, Wang Hao wasn't lying to him about this. He had already deduced this point, and with the memories inherited from his previous life in the Primordial World Era, as well as Xiao Mengmeng's guidance, he established the possibility of the existence of the Celestial Person Realm and the Shattering Realm in this world.
Logically speaking, in a low-level martial arts world like the Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Proud Wanderer, the Xiantian Grandmaster is already the limit it can accommodate, and it is impossible for a higher realm to exist unless the world's level is raised.
Just because the normal way doesn't work doesn't mean there aren't other ways to improve, such as some unorthodox methods.
In addition to the vast amount of creative ideas he accumulated from reading countless fantasy novels, his inherited memories from his Primordial World past life also provided many inspirations.
There was a similar example in my memories of my Primordial World past life, which was a special group in the Jiuli Tribe.
The people of the Jiuli Tribe mostly cultivate the Bloodline Power. In order to deal with the Jiuli Tribe, the Yellow Emperor Tribe joined forces with cultivators from various sects to develop a secret technique that could completely destroy the foundation of the Jiuli warriors' Bloodline Power.
While it won't kill you, once your foundation is destroyed, there's basically no chance of further improvement.
This was originally a very despairing situation, but fortunately, the Great Demon God Chiyou You created a secret method specifically for this purpose, allowing these Jiuli warriors whose bloodline foundation had been destroyed to use the secret method to comprehend the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, so as to enhance themselves.
Although the improvement is still very limited and extremely difficult, it is at least much better than no improvement at all.
In his previous life in the Primordial World world, Wang Hao was merely a blacksmith's apprentice, so he naturally had no right to access such advanced secret techniques. However, it might offer him a possible approach, since even the Great Demon God Chiyou proved that this path was feasible.
Therefore, he deduced two realms from the Xiantian Grandmaster realm, which is the limit of this low-level martial arts world. According to Xiao Mengmeng's estimation, once she reaches the Shattering Realm, she should be able to truly shatter the space of this low-level martial arts world and truly Shattering the Void.
Therefore, theoretically, it is possible to achieve these two realms. As for the specific method, there is no one yet. We can only wait for him to break through to the Peak Xiantian Grandmaster, and then slowly deduce it based on his own martial arts foundation and the Dao Comprehension Function.
This kind of almost arbitrary deduction consumes the most Fortune Points, so he now has to do everything he can to collect martial arts manuals in order to exchange for enough Fortune Points from Dongfang Bai.
This is also the fastest, best, and most abundant way to obtain Fortune Points!
So even though the side quest he activated from Dongfang Bai was a real pain, he accepted it for the sake of those Fortune Points!
According to Xiao Mengmeng's calculations, sending all the martial arts manuals of this world to Dongfang Bai should be just enough for him to deduce those two realms.
However, that's all for later. What he needs to do now is to quickly break down the Foundation Establishment Fist Art and use it as a foundation to derive five new fist and foot martial arts.
Fortunately, with the foundation laid previously, the deduction went smoothly and quickly, and was successfully completed in no time.
At the same time, Xu Miaoyin, having calmed herself down, also brought nearly a thousand surviving soldiers who were not disabled to wait by her side.
Similarly, Tie Kuangtu and the others brought everyone they could, and Abbess Qingmiao also brought the nuns from the Mount Heng Sword Sect down the mountain, after all, this was a great opportunity that could not be missed.
Thus, more than 30,000 people gathered before Wang Hao, the vast majority of whom were brought by Tie Kuangtu and his group.
These guys really went all out!
