While Wang Hao cultivated peacefully on the ancient altar, Xie Feng led the Brocade Guard experts brought by King Wheel-Turning King to carry out a bloody purge of the martial arts forces surrounding the Mount Tai Sword Sect. Anyone who was extremely vicious was slaughtered and their property confiscated.
Of the acquired property, the real estate was handled by the Embroidered Brocade Guard, while the gold and silver treasures were Xie Feng. As for the martial arts manuals, the Embroidered Brocade Guard sent someone to make a copy, and the originals were transported by Xie Feng to the summit of Mount Tai for Wang Hao to read and study.
This time, Wang Hao did not make a copy immediately. Instead, he wrote it down and thoroughly understood it, planning to make a copy and send it to Dongfang Bai after the trip to Mount Tai.
After all, while the method of printing and copying by Divine Sense Object Control cannot verify the authenticity of handwriting, some subtle habits are still unavoidable. If such a large-scale photocopy were made and sent to Dongfang Bai, she might guess something.
He dared not underestimate Dongfang Bai's intelligence; after all, she Ruthless could scheme against Ren Woxing, the former leader of the Sun Moon Holy Cult, and seize power. Her intelligence and insight were definitely not lacking.
We must be careful in this regard, otherwise, if that girl discovers our true identities, she might refuse to accept the martial arts manuals he sends us in the future, which would be a disaster.
He was counting on this method to acquire a large number of Fortune Points to complete those system tasks!
Those martial arts forces did consider resisting, but neither the Brocade Guard nor Xie Feng himself were entities they could contend with.
The Brocade Guard brought by Wheel-Turning King are all at least at the Early-Stage Grandmaster, and there are several at the Peak Grandmaster. This force is not something that any sect can stop, unless those reclusive Half-step Innate experts take action.
However, even if he did take action, it would be to no avail, because Xie Feng's strength had greatly increased after the last battle that annihilated the alien army.
It is important to understand that the existence of Soldier Man is for war; as long as they fight continuously, their strength will increase rapidly.
He had also absorbed some of the Blood Baleful Intent Qi Wang Hao had fused with last time, and his strength was now no weaker than those Early Innate Realm experts. If he were to unleash his full power, he could even contend with Middle Innate Realm experts.
This kind of strength is enough to sweep everything away. As long as major forces like Confucian School don't intervene, no one can stop him.
Meanwhile, the Mount Tai Sword Sect also became lively, because all the major forces were extremely sensitive to the topic of overseas martial arts and were looking for intelligence about overseas martial arts.
Having heard that a powerful figure from overseas has arrived at the Mount Tai Sword Sect, they certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Of course, more importantly, after Xie Feng joined forces with the Brocade Guard masters to sweep through the nearby martial arts forces, he came to the Mount Tai Sword Sect and openly sold the martial arts manuals he had previously obtained under the guise of exchanging martial arts techniques.
The method is the same as it was used in the border martial arts world. As long as you bring one martial arts manual that is not included in the manual, you can obtain ten martial arts of the same level.
Most importantly, under Wang Hao's instruction, Xie Feng explicitly stated that he could exchange three Half-step Innate- level ultimate techniques for a secret method to break through to the Innate.
This drove all the powerful figures in the martial arts world into a frenzy. Those reclusive Half-step Innate experts ignored the warnings and suppression from Confucian School and came out of seclusion to rush to the Mount Tai Sword Sect.
Those who can cultivate to the Half-step Innate Realm are not simple; the unique skills they possess are unimaginable to ordinary people, which has made Wang Hao extremely wealthy.
The secret method for breaking through to the Innate level was naturally deduced by Wang Hao in his spare time. Compared to the original version, it has fewer restrictions, but the effect is not much different. One person can cultivate it alone, and it will only take a few months at most. It cannot be achieved in one fell swoop like the original version, which can directly condense Innate True Qi.
However, for these powerful individuals, two or three months is nothing, and their unique skills are even less significant.
Nothing is more important than breaking through to the Innate Realm!
Of course, Wang Hao also specifically instructed Xie Feng to warn that this secret technique must not be spread privately within twenty years. It can only be exchanged with him or other overseas experts. Violators will be blacklisted and disqualified from trading and exchanging overseas secret techniques.
This move has dashed the hopes of all the powerful individuals. Although they now have the means to obtain the secret techniques for breaking through to the Innate Realm, the loss of the qualification to continue exchanging overseas martial arts techniques would be a huge blow.
No one would do something so foolish as to lose the big picture for a small gain, so they all honestly brought out their best skills to trade.
These people did not leave after exchanging for the secret techniques, because they all knew that Ye Gucheng, the White Cloud City, had made a duel with Daoist Qingsong of the Taoist School. They would not miss such an earth-shattering battle between powerful figures.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Now, Wang Hao has reached the most critical period.
Over the past month, he has copied the blade of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe three times and made considerable progress. Initially, he could only copy one-third of the blade, but by the third time, with the support of his profound Divine Sense and Innate Qi, he had copied the complete blade.
With the hard work he had put in over the past month, his Divine Sense had reached the Peak Second Tier as he had expected, which was the limit of 1000 points. He was just one point away from breaking through to the Third Tier.
However, breaking through to this realm is extremely difficult. Without any special opportunities, Wang Hao estimates that it would take at least three years of arduous cultivation.
Fortunately, he found a shortcut, a shortcut that would allow him to quickly raise his Divine Sense cultivation to the Third Tier level.
That's right, this shortcut is the Spirit Sea. As long as he can open the Spirit Sea, he can take advantage of the opportunity to transform his Acquired Divine Sense into Innate Divine Sense and quickly raise his Divine Sense cultivation to the Third Tier.
Now that he has accumulated enough Divine Sense and has also gained initial control over the remnants of the emperor's will in his mind, he can attempt to break through to the Spirit Sea.
"Phew! Time to get started!"
Letting out a long breath, Wang Hao adjusted himself to his peak condition, guided the remnants of the emperors to gather in his Yintang acupoint, and then activated his Dao Comprehension Function to sense the existence of his Spirit Sea.
His natural perception was already strong, and now, with the added Satori of enlightenment granted by his Dao Comprehension Function, his perception was pushed to its limit. Before long, he vaguely sensed a phantom space in his brain.
That was where his Spirit Sea resided, a completely illusory space.
Of the three dantians, only the Middle Dantian (heart) is a completely solid entity, while the Lower Dantian is in a semi-illusory state and cannot be observed with the naked eye. This is why modern medicine cannot detect meridians and acupoints.
Compared to the Middle Dantian, the Upper Dantian (Spirit Sea) is even more ethereal, and it is difficult even for the person to sense it.
Even Wang Hao only vaguely sensed it because he relied on the Satori granted by the Dao Comprehension Function to enhance his perception.
Having locked onto the existence of the deep sea, Wang Hao did not hesitate at all. He used his Divine Sense to guide the remnants of those emperors, using the Yintang acupoint as a foundation, and launched continuous attacks towards the Spirit Sea along the bridge in the dark.
"That kid's acting strange this time!"
Wujizi was guarding the ancient altar below, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at Wang Hao on the altar.
They had been guarding him here for a month and were very familiar with Wang Hao's cultivation state, but today Wang Hao gave them a very different feeling.
"Just mind your own business. There are quite a few powerful figures gathered on Mount Tai right now. If any of those scoundrels disturb Ye Lang, see how I deal with you!"
Just as he was wondering, Fairy Yushu, who was guarding the altar, glared at him fiercely, signaling Wujizi to do his duty. Then she turned back to stare at the figure meditating cross-legged, a blush creeping onto her pretty face.
"Old ghost, I remember Qingsong's duel with this brat was scheduled for today!"
On the other side, the Daoist Cangmang transmitted his strange thoughts to his old friend Wujizi: "Why do I have a feeling that Qingsong has already lost before the fight even starts? And he might even end up with a little father figure later on."
"Why do you care so much? Yushu has finally gotten over the trauma of what happened back then and has found someone she likes, which is a great thing. Don't ruin it."
Wuji glared at his old friend with a warning look, Wujizi expression also somewhat wistful and complicated.
They were considered fellow disciples of Fairy Yushu back then, and their relationship was quite good. Unfortunately, Yushu was hurt by a scumbag back then, leaving a huge shadow on her heart.
The incident even caused a rift between the three of them. They were the ones who introduced that scumbag to Yushu back then, so they have always felt guilty about it.
Seeing Yushu overcome her psychological trauma and find someone to date makes me genuinely happy.
Although Yushu's boyfriend was a bit younger and there was a significant age gap between Yushu, Yushu took great care of her appearance and skin, looking like a young woman in her late teens or early twenties, so the difference between them wasn't noticeable.
Now I just don't know if that guy is reliable; I hope he's not another jerk.
Similarly, the expressions of Wheel-Turning King and his men guarding another corner were also very strange, and at the same time, they were somewhat regretful.
Since her defeat last time, Fairy Yushu's attitude towards Ye Gucheng has undergone a complete reversal. She has transformed from a cold and aloof fairy into a lovesick girl who is even willing to throw herself at him.
Moreover, it seems that Ye Gucheng is somewhat tempted; at least he hasn't rejected having Fairy Yushu guard him, which is much more intimate than having these roughnecks like them.
This made him deeply regretful; why hadn't he thought of using his femininity to seduce her back then!
Although it was good to have Zhu Wudao become Ye Gucheng's disciple, how could a master-disciple relationship compare to a romantic relationship, or even a simple friends-with-benefits relationship? A few words of advice from Ye Gucheng could bring them considerable benefits.
As for beauties, the Old Zhu Household has never lacked them. It's a pity they didn't think of that before!
On several mountain peaks not far away, several figures stood atop the mountains, gazing at Wang Hao cultivating on the altar. After turning their gazes to Wujizi and the others, they all left with gloomy and unwilling expressions.
They were all veteran Innate experts, and they all had some ideas about Ye Gucheng had come to the Central Plains. One of them was even a top Confucian School expert, who wanted to see if there was a chance to capture the boy and take him back to slowly interrogate him for information about the overseas martial arts world and the Heavenly Demon Sacred Cult.
Ideally, they would obtain a method to break through to the Celestial Person Realm, but unfortunately, they have waited here for a long time without finding the slightest opportunity.
The defenses of Wujizi and his group were so tight that they could hardly find a breakthrough and had no choice but to launch a direct attack.
What's even more terrifying is that Ye Gucheng 'Divine Sense attack methods, which he was sitting cross-legged on the altar, were too strange and powerful. Half a month ago, they joined forces to organize an attack, with three Peak Xiantian Grandmaster and four Late-stage Innate experts attacking together.
But just as they were about to capture the boy, he suddenly opened his eyes and launched a Divine Sense attack. The Peak Xiantian Grandmaster who had stepped onto the altar was forced to kneel down. In the end, the boy crippled his cultivation, captured him, and interrogated him about his martial arts heritage before swiftly beheading him with a single sword strike.
This bizarre method terrified them, and they couldn't make a move until they found a countermeasure, otherwise they would truly be throwing their lives away.
Now that the kid is about to finish his seclusion, they have no chance at all, and there's no point in staying here now.
"Pfft!"
However, just as the powerful figures were about to leave, Wang Hao on the altar suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his aura plummeted, clearly indicating that he had suffered a severe injury.
This scene caused the several Innate experts who were about to leave to pause, and then, as if by telepathy, they rushed towards the Dai Summit at the same time, seemingly preparing for another attack.
