Chapter 237: Level 5 Spiritual Power, Technique Breakthrough
Developing feelings and such, that all came later.
“Sister-in-law’s identity is special, won’t it be unsafe for her to stay with us?” Xue Lingling worried.
“Don’t worry~ There’s nothing on your side that can threaten This Empress yet.” Kun Youniang smiled proudly, then seemed to think of something and added: “Except that Big Rooster.”
Wu Xian gave an awkward smile, pretending to look at the scenery around.
Xue Zhengying analyzed seriously: “The club isn’t entirely stable after all. I happen to be in charge of the outposts, so I’m planning to settle Youniang at the outpost first. That’ll be much safer.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian and the other nodded in agreement.
The Otherworld Outpost was undoubtedly a great choice, and Xue Zhengying happened to be in charge of guarding it.
After some getting-to-know-you talk, the two had a general understanding of this Empress.
In summary: Empress demeanor, but not yet proficient at being human.
Next, the two talked about the plan to head to the Endless Sea Region.
Xue Zhengying naturally had no objections.
Though they definitely couldn’t compete with those top clubs, it was still good to go and broaden horizons along the way.
“Then we’ll set off in two days,” Wu Xian pondered. “Second Brother and I can go. Master Sister, you stay behind to guard the club’s rear.”
“Such a big operation, how can it be without this president?” Xue Lingling asked, puzzled.
“Mainly, Master Sister doesn’t have any suitable scrolls.”
“Who says I don’t?” Xue Lingling said righteously: “My【Overturned Water Ghost King】 can handle naval battles just fine.”
“It can, but it’s not very specialized.” Wu Xian said seriously.
Xue Zhengying also said seriously: “Little Wu is right. The two of us going is enough. You stay behind to manage the club, and keep Sister-in-law company. That’s settled.”
Xue Lingling wanted to say more, but saw Xue Zhengying already leading Kun Youniang toward the outpost teleportation device.
“I should head back and make preparations too.”
Wu Xian calmly stood up, stepped onto his sword and left, not giving Master Sister a chance to join in.
……
Two days later, under the nourishment of【Laurel Tree】 and Alliance Hero Point Shop’s Otherworldly Spirit Grass.
Spiritual Power Cultivation successfully stepped into Level Five.
During this time, he inevitably went to the【Underworld】 instance and slaughtered a wave.
However, after this breakthrough to Level Five, the Spiritual Power in his body, under the effect of Old Master’s set of “cultivation technique,” seemed to produce a refining and condensing effect, and brought a massive tempering to his physical body power.
The entire breakthrough process lasted over an hour.
The restless Spiritual Power in his body gradually calmed. Feeling the changes in his body and Spiritual Power, Wu Xian was secretly shocked.
In his view, both his physical body and Spiritual Power had undergone a qualitative leap.
Especially the condensation and transformation of the Spiritual Power, which clearly wasn’t a change normal Spiritual Power Cultivation should have.
“Old Master’s Spiritual Power Cultivation Technique isn’t simple!”
He could feel that, while breaking through to Level Five Spiritual Power this time, Old Master’s Spiritual Power Cultivation Technique had also smoothly broken through to another level.
Under the operation of Spiritual Power, the amplification to his own power directly doubled.
Most importantly, some insights into the power law level seemed to be applicable to himself, further enhancing his combat power.
He wondered how much Old Master had recovered now?
While carefully experiencing his own changes, Second Brother Xue Zhengying arrived as promised.
The two boarded the train to Binhai City together.
“Master Sister didn’t force her way to follow?” Wu Xian teased.
“Almost,” Xue Zhengying smiled faintly. “I see you two have been progressing quickly lately. In just a few days apart, you took down my clingy little sister? I thought it’d take you years of back-and-forth at least.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian couldn’t help but feel awkward. “The window paper, just poke it through directly.”
“I figured it was your doing,” Xue Zhengying smiled knowingly. “With Little Lingling’s personality, if you just let her decide on her own, she’d probably agonize over it until she was old and gray.
Speaking of which, when are you going to start calling me brother?”
“Haven’t I always called you Second Brother?” Wu Xian asked lightly with a smile.
“…” Xue Zhengying was actually speechless.
Wu Xian then changed the subject, steering the topic to that Empress. “Speaking of which, for existences like Sister-in-law, what is the goal of their evolution and cultivation? To control and dominate their own Otherworld?”
“If it were back then, I really wouldn’t have known,” Xue Zhengying pondered. “Now, I’ve vaguely understood some things. To a certain extent, whether it’s us humans or Otherworld creatures, we’re essentially on the same path.”
“What do you mean?” Wu Xian asked, puzzled.
“We human Spirit Tamers and Scroll Painters acquire Supernatural Power through Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Substance. Otherworld Monsters are actually the same,” Xue Zhengying analyzed thoughtfully. “Take the【Divine Power Fragment】 formed in their bodies, isn’t it a kind of law power framework?
The difference is, we humans split it into Divine Diagrams and scroll paintings.”
Wu Xian grew more shocked the more he heard. “Second Brother means, we can see them as a kind of naturally formed special Painted Spirit?”
“Exactly, that’s the idea.” Xue Zhengying clapped in agreement. “You know my situation. From what I feel now, the only difference between Insectoid Race power and pure Spiritual Power is that Insectoid Race power incorporates the unique spiritual structure and law power of the Insectoid Otherworld. This fusion is not only in the Spiritual Power but also in my body.
I just don’t know why us humans didn’t develop this power acquisition system, or perhaps due to certain reasons, we’re not very suited to this method.”
Wu Xian pondered and asked: “Does Tattoo Brother’s human scroll painting count?”
“It does, but it always feels like it’s still missing something.” Xue Zhengying mulled.
……
Tianfeng Province, Binhai City.
The only coastal city within the province, and the only one with【Endless Sea Region】 Otherworld invasion.
The city’s economic development was clearly much better than Yaoyang City.
Along the way, the local customs and sentiments also differed quite a bit from Yaoyang City.
Take the flying vehicles in the sky: mostly various flying boats, or colorful fish, jellyfish, and such soaring freely in the air.
The scrolls used by the public were mostly ocean system.
Of course, the two weren’t here to experience the local customs. With a clear goal, they arrived at Binhai City【Endless Sea Region】 Dimensional Port.
Online information showed that Binhai City had only two dimensional invasions: Endless Sea Region and Elf World.
But because the elf system scroll painting route was highly competitive, the elf system clubs in Binhai City weren’t developing well, basically in a situation dominated by Deep Sea Club.
The Dimensional Port was located right by the coast.
At the entrance to the high-tier dimensional control zone, the ticketing staff all had Level Six Spiritual Power Cultivation.
“Out-of-towners and Scroll Painters have no free pass privilege. Locals eight hundred each, out-of-towners one thousand each,” the staff frowned slightly. “From Yaoyang City?”
Wu Xian and the other paid cheerfully. It was the same in Yaoyang City—out-of-towners paid more to enter.
“Any problem?” Xue Zhengying asked, puzzled.
“Your Underworld Club is so disgusting, coming up with that gacha system,” the staff grumbled. “My kid nearly emptied the family fortune for that【Fish Gill Marshal】. Can’t even control him!”
“Is that so? That gacha system is indeed a scourge. We have our own difficulties too!”
Wu Xian righteously echoed, while Xue Zhengying nearby nearly burst out laughing.
“Scroll Painters who make this kind of exploitative stuff aren’t proper Scroll Painters. Those Scroll Painters deserve to die.”
Amid the staff’s cursing, they stepped into the advanced outpost.
Space twisted, sea breeze hit.
The familiar sight before him made Wu Xian pause slightly. “Eh~ Isn’t this Holy Spirit Island?”
Having farmed Holy Spirit Island so many times with Master Sister before, he was all too familiar with this map.
