Chapter 25 News From an Old Classmate
The violent Spiritual Energy dispersed everything. It was the purest form of Spiritual Energy, freshly stimulated from its ground state, having a positive effect on all forms of energy. Within the immediate vicinity, electrons were breaking free from the bindings of atomic nuclei, and the air was forcibly turned into plasma at room temperature, with plasmas sweeping through. The slightest air currents were amplified, growing stronger as they rolled on like snowballs. An abnormal Gravity Field accelerated and distorted, tossing the sea water and air in the same direction...
No one's Spiritual Sense could penetrate that region of Spiritual Energy turmoil, and no one could see through the intense light on the other side. When everything had settled, they heard the last dragon chant, "Mysterious Uncertainty..."
Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword.
Just by hearing the first four words, Modern Cultivators could fill in the rest on their own, for this Swordsmanship technique was extremely well-known.
The Unsolvable Sword, nearly invincible.
About ten years ago, a genius from the Mysterious Palace had come to the Western Border for training and used this sword to slay several Transformation Great Demons at the Foundation Establishment Perfection level. The renown of that single stroke was known even among the Demon Clan.
The spot of the previous grand battle was now witnessing the transformation dragon form of the Black-Bearded Jiao King rapidly plummeting, causing a massive splash. This was the last trace left by the Sea Jiao Dragon who had once defeated several Golden Core Cultivators with a Demon Core rank. Meanwhile, a young Cultivator in blue robes quietly stood there, his right hand holding a sword while his left hand conjured a high-temperature Mana sphere, which he tossed onto the sea surface. As the sea water exploded, several loud noises spread, and a dense fog appeared meters above.
Silent Annihilation Sky Burning Palm.
The Mana sphere turned the sea water into superheated steam, only forming fog after several meters. This fog contained a trace of Cosmic Entropy Mana. While these minute Mana were not enough to harm others, they could disrupt Spiritual Sense.
If one did not know Wang Qi wielded the Indeterminate Cloud Sword before, most would think he specialized in stealth and assassination techniques. But now, everyone guessed he was blocking long-distance detection. Entering that fog bank, one might encounter lethal moves.
Quantum Cloud Sword Qi is unobservable, but once it makes contact, once observed, it becomes the Unsolvable Karma Sword.
Golden Core Stage Demon Beasts were the strangest group. They possessed sufficient Spirit Wisdom to understand the phenomenon caused by the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword but lacked the rational decision-making to "sacrifice the individual for the greater good." They were the most passive among the Beast Tide, superficially constrained by Dragon Clan's deterrent force to assault Langde City, but actually looking for an opportunity to flee. Now that several Transformation Great Demons acting as Military Governors were intercepted by Elite Golden Core and entangled in fierce battles, their fighting spirit declined even further. Seeing Wang Qi's setup, they detoured even more.
After all, the cloud and smoke only covered a few miles. Just avoid getting too close!
The woman who had earlier assisted Wang Qi was impressive too. She altered the direction of gravity, reversing the sense of direction of the fish schools. Low Level Sea Demons were tricked, splitting into two groups that actively rushed into the area affected by Wang Qi's Silent Annihilation Sky Burning Palm Force, becoming chaotic and increasingly violent. Stiff Demon Beasts smashed into each other, starting a fierce melee.
In the cosmos, there originally isn't a concept of "direction." The first concept of direction that appeared in biological cognition is "the direction of gravity," that is, "up and down." Now, with this baseline disrupted, the sense of direction naturally went awry.

Guardian Envoy Mao Kaicheng watched the distant scene and exclaimed, "A Sect's genius really is different from others."
As the battle escalated, the Guardian Envoys were gradually retreating. They were not "soldiers" but Cultivators. Even though they had slogans like "not yielding an inch of water" and "sworn to break the Demon Clan," it was not yet time for them to fight desperately.
"The scale of this Demon Beast Tide is big, but just as the intel said, Transformation level Great Demons are pitifully few. There are neither Divine Skills nor Demon Gods." A Cultivator said with a pained smile, "Just relying on those Sect Disciples who came for training is enough to stop them; there's even one whose Foundation Establishment level could block the mediocre."
Usually, the number of Transformation level Great Demons was quite high. These humanoid figures upon entering, the war would escalate to a battle between Primordial Spirits and Demon Gods.
This time, Great Demons appeared just minutes into the battle, and comparatively, they were ridiculously weak.
This remark of the Cultivator resonated widely. Everyone felt that the somewhat tragic expressions before the battle started were simply made for the blind.
However, there were discerning people who pointed out the Cultivator's mistake: "That dragon-transformed creature isn't just any second-rate Transformation Great Demon. It's the Black-Bearded King! Belonging to the Jiao Dragon Species of the Poison Jiao Type, already exceedingly close to a True Dragon, and the chosen Transformation Body is that of a True Dragon Body, its combat power matches that of an age-old Transformation Great Demon."
"What?" Everyone was amazed.
"That's too exaggerated, right?"
Mao Kaicheng chuckled, "I've always said, those disciples from Great Sects are different."
Immediately, someone jested, "Little Mao, that's because your daughter got into a Great Sect five years ago, right? Do you have to say it every day?"
Mao Kaicheng chuckled. He might look young, but he was actually over one hundred fifty years old. Having been stuck at Golden Core Perfection for over fifty years, his hopes of becoming a Grandmaster weren't high. At his current state, rather than hoping for it himself, he preferred hoping his daughter could achieve Primordial Spirit. Then, using the similarities between father and daughter, he might derive insight and achieve a Low Grade Primordial Spirit.
