Chapter 199 Simulation: Undercover in Another World
"Life force 7, Su Jie's speed of improvement is quite fast."
In the void of the Taixu Illusory Realm, those who were refining the dimension of fire also observed Su Jie's battle, and Wang Chao was particularly astonished at the speed of Su Jie's life force enhancement.
It was clear that Wang Chao himself had started practicing the breathing technique taught by Sun, but his life force did not increase as rapidly as Su Jie's.
Could it be that his aptitude was truly the worst?
Tang Zichen said, "This feeling is almost the same as when you, Wang Chao, first met me and we sparred, except back then you were holding back a bit and then used brute force to play with me."
Speaking of this, Tang Zichen was a bit resentful.
Even though Wang Chao was holding back then, she still felt it was brute force.
A single force to defeat ten techniques!
It was only because Wang Chao back then couldn't control that power well, and it was very easy to cause damage to the surrounding environment; even if he fully unleashed it, it would be indiscriminate towards friend and foe alike.
It was also because Wang Chao's "friend" was Sun Shisheng; otherwise, everything Wang Chao did would be very troublesome.
"How could I have been using brute force at that time?"
Wang Chao was somewhat dissatisfied, "At most, it was just that I hadn't learned too many techniques yet."
Chan Yinsha rolled her eyes at Wang Chao, saying, "Don't deny it, that was brute force. It was the same during our arena match; if it weren't for your overwhelming strength, I wouldn't have conceded."
"Tch," Wang Chao laughed, "You were just scared at that time."
"Would I be scared of you?" Chan Yinsha responded coldly, "In terms of the Mental Realm, I am now the same as Sun, both in the state of 'sitting and forgetting', whereas you are but Primordial Respiration."
"Humph!"
Wang Chao was noncommittal.
The state of 'sitting and forgetting' is different for each individual; Chan Yinsha's 'sitting and forgetting' was not comparable to Sun's at all.
Moreover, his Primordial Respiration was not an ordinary Primordial Respiration; his life force was endlessly increasing beyond the decimal point. Although it was not as good as Chan Yinsha's at the moment, when it really came down to it, if all methods were employed, the outcome was still undecided.
Li Hansha also felt the same way.
The two of them hadn't broken through only because they wanted to see what kind of change would happen after Su Jie joined them and the "Three Pure Ones" were in place.
Otherwise, Chan Yinsha wouldn't have had a chance to be so arrogant.
Sun Shisheng spoke, "Let's not argue about the past. Focusing on the present and looking ahead to the future is key. The opening of the Cultivation World has caused many to become restless and impetuous."
Li Hansha said, "The Cultivation World isn't a big deal. Once its Heavenly Will is completely refined by the Taixu Illusory Realm's Taixu Sphere, it will pose no threat."
Once the Heavenly Will was completely refined, the Cultivation World would become their backyard.
Of course, that was just a metaphor. They wouldn't really treat it as their backyard; there were humans there as well. They intended to go there to spread their philosophy of Ming Lun while also respecting the views of the local people.
They were not robbers.
Even on the Primordial Star, currently accessible to all Earthlings, they could mine resources, but they also established rules that forbid unwarranted harm to the natives. They even adopted the form of "Divine Envoys" that matched the native's primitive worship, allowing players to descend in a manner consistent with native beliefs.
Wang Chao grabbed a lotus-shaped fire that emerged from the dimension of fire and swallowed it, smacking his lips and said, "Speaking of which, the slumbering Heavenly Will of the Cultivation World, could it provoke invasions from other universal dimensions?"
As far as they knew, even though the Heavenly Wills of the various dimensions did not interfere with each other due to the existence of the World Sphere, they did still send their own undercover agents to infiltrate the worlds governed by other Heavenly Wills.
In fact, there were countless undercover agents on Earth.
Of course, these undercover agents didn't know they were agents; they were mostly bloodlines from other worlds passed down from ancient times.
Similarly, many people from Earth had also traveled to other universal dimensions.
Because Earth was the World Sphere, humans born on Earth, after their souls descended from the void, were subjected to the inherent twisting and tempering of the World Sphere, possessing more perfect potential than people from other dimensional worlds.
But regrettably, it was both boon and bane because of the World Sphere.
Setting aside external issues like cultivation systems and resources for cultivation, Earthlings themselves possessed exceedingly rich imaginations, making it difficult for them to calm their restless minds.
Compared to them, the intelligent beings of other universal dimensions found it easier to achieve a singularly focused state.
However, without a doubt, if Earthlings were to travel to these universal dimensions, as long as they weren't too unlucky, they would certainly achieve accomplishments that were rightfully theirs.
After reaching other dimensions, even if they were free from the influence of the World Sphere, their soul's potential would naturally unfold, allowing their minds to embark on the path of cultivation while retaining their rich imagination and attaining a greater level of focus.
Sun Shisheng said, "It's certain. Even though the World Sphere is a treaty, every Heavenly Will desires to devour others to strengthen themselves; it's their instinct."
Li Hansha suggested, "Then, should we be on the lookout?"
"No need," Sun Shisheng smiled lightly, "Undercover agents and such, aren't they better?"
Li Hansha understood.
Ming Lun would surely promote goodwill in the Cultivation World. Thus, encountering beings from other universal dimensions, they might also pass on their philosophy of Ming Lun's goodwill.
Perhaps they would scoff or even think Ming Lun naive.
```
But this also served as a message to them and the dimensional universe they inhabited: Ming Lun would lead the entire chaos and create a world where all spirits coexist.
Of course, if someone from another realm intended harm to Ming Lun, then he would certainly resort to extraordinary measures.
After all, although Ming Lun valued reason, he also believed in the laws of physics.
Wang Chao said, "Now, our task is to refine dimensions devoid of sentient beings and enhance the foundations of the Taixu Illusory Realm so that it can expand throughout the entire chaos."
Tang Zichen added, "And to wait for the last of the Three Purities to return to their position."
When it came to the Three Purities, Tang Zichen was very eager to witness what kind of spectacular phenomena would erupt when Wang Chao, Li Hansha, and Su Jie stayed together.
What were the secrets of these Three Purities that Sun Shisheng described as beyond dimensions?
"Su Jie huh..."
Wang Chao and Li Hansha murmured as they shifted their gaze down—
At that moment, Su Jie was still standing on the Battle Platform, waiting for the second of the Feng Family's three brothers to come forward.
He wanted to challenge all three of them in turn.
"Su Jie still wants to challenge?"
"It seems he intends to completely offend the Feng Family and the Feng Corporation."
"What do you mean offend? Isn't it just one defeat?"
"Big families and corporations all have their own pride. Although such pride is insignificant before Ming Lun, it is an indispensable part for them."
"I heard that during the inner court's test, Su Jie shattered Feng Yuxuan's throat."
"Really?"
"..."
Listening to the undisguised gossip of the students in the inner court, Feng Hengyi snorted coldly, but he was helpless.
Once off the Battle Platform, he could not fight back, he could only use his words to gain an advantage.
Words could kill the spirit, but his mind always remained calm. He would not be affected in the least, though he would certainly feel bad for some time.
"Tch!" Feng Qianzang glared coldly at Feng Hengyi, who had lost to Su Jie, and scolded, "You've lost all face for our family!"
"If my second brother is capable, why not go up and take revenge for me?" Feng Hengyi retorted indifferently.
"Humph!"
Feng Qianzang snorted coldly and turned to Feng Yuxuan, "Elder brother, could you detail how exactly he shattered your throat back then?"
Feng Yuxuan's expression darkened, and a pressing aura bore down on Feng Qianzang, "He shattered Jiang Wudao's throat, not mine. What does it have to do with me?"
First seen on MV4LEMP|YR.
"Is there a need for this, elder brother? It was just a joke, to lighten the mood," Feng Qianzang retorted with a matching intensity, as the sound pressed into a line reaching Feng Yuxuan's ears, "What we need to do now is to restore the family's honor, not fight among ourselves."
"His Chu Tiange, or that 'intent control', has reached a mystical and unpredictable level," Feng Yuxuan observed Feng Qianzang for a while before slowly speaking, "But his breathing doesn't seem to match that of the Chu Tiange technique, nor is it the breath of the Eight Extremes Thunder Fist or the Taixu Thunder Seal. Zhao Xinglong wouldn't teach that."
"If it's neither the Eight Extremes Thunder Fist nor the Chu Tiange, then it must be some serendipitous encounter he stumbled upon," Feng Qianzang realized.
There are many secrets on Earth, home to various treasures.
These treasures, perhaps magical artifacts or Cultivation Techniques, or some other unique object.
In the era before the concept of mental cultivation was proposed and the average vitality was only 0.5, these treasures could be confused with various ancient antiques or even found in inconspicuous street stalls.
Now with mental cultivation widely practiced, the true value of these dust-covered treasures has also been revealed.
Over eighteen years, numerous people have distinguished themselves from the masses with various sudden Cultivation Techniques and treasures, earning the chance to join the ranks of the powerful.
For this reason, the major corporations have also been collecting all sorts of antiques and peculiar items.
However, it seems these dust-covered treasures only favor ordinary impoverished lads; whether it's the Feng Corporation or the Jiang Corporation, they spend a great deal of time collecting antiques, which either turn out to be fakes or are truly just antiques.
The latter is more common.
The process of acquiring these dust-covered treasures is known as serendipitous encounters.
For Feng Qianzang, Su Jie was someone who had experienced such an encounter, but what puzzled him was what kind of encounter allowed Su Jie to make such great progress?
And that this encounter could certainly enhance Su Jie's mental cultivation as well.
Feng Qianzang's thoughts were not much different from Jiang Wudao's, the only difference being—
Jiang Wudao, having observed the fight between Su Jie and Feng Hengyi, had already concluded that it wasn't the encounter that strengthened Su Jie, but that Su Jie himself was inherently special.
But Feng Qianzang felt that it was some encounter that elevated Su Jie's Mental Realm along with him.
"Hello, Su Jie, nice to meet you. My name is Feng Qianzang." Feng Qianzang stepped onto the Battle Platform, and compared to Feng Hengyi, he was polite, but that expression looked too much like a cunning merchant with tricks up his sleeve.
"Nice to meet you, Senior Feng Qianzang." Su Jie responded in kind, as one does not strike a smiling face, even if the other person's expression resembled that of a crafty merchant.
