Chapter 25: Be Cautious as a Spectator



Yesterday, he had acquired a set of cultivation techniques and two spells, all of which required serious study and research.

As his strength and realm improved and his skills increased, his days were only going to get busier.

Wang Chen was actually relieved that he had only rented ten mu of Spirit Fields. Otherwise, spending too much time on this would inevitably affect his normal cultivation.

That would be a loss not worth the gain.

In the quiet room, Wang Chen first activated the spell seed sealed with the “Spiritual Perception Technique” in his Sea of Consciousness.

The Spiritual Perception Technique was a low-tier Qi Cultivation spell that could be practiced as soon as one started Qi Cultivation.

The principle of this spell was simple: concentrate mana in one’s eyes and use the activated Spiritual Sense to observe the aura fluctuations emitted by the target, thus completing the tier assessment.

To Wang Chen’s surprise, the first time he practiced the Spiritual Perception Technique, he actually…

[Spiritual Perception Technique (Beginner): 0/100]

He succeeded in one go, directly reaching the beginner level!

The ease of it made Wang Chen suspect whether his Comprehension was really just 3 points.

It was so easy that even he began to doubt himself!

But upon further thought,

Wang Chen felt it was quite normal.

Because he was already a mid-tier Qi Cultivation cultivator, learning the most basic spell was naturally simple and easy.

Furthermore, the application of the Spiritual Perception Technique was similar to the method Wang Chen had used previously to search for the Earth Rhino.

It was like doing thousands of similar types of problems; he had already become skilled through practice!

Now that he had mastered the Spiritual Perception Technique, Wang Chen decided to go for it and try his hand at the “Object-Controlling Technique.”

The Object-Controlling Technique was not so easy!

The complexity of the spell of the Object-Controlling Technique was much greater than that of the Spiritual Perception Technique, involving as many as three meridians—the channels of mana—and it also required the power of the Divine Soul to complete.

Wang Chen brought out the spirit of enduring hardship from his previous life’s college entrance exam, analyzing the spell word by word, repeatedly activating mana, completely forgetting the passage of time.

He gradually began to grasp a bit of the trick to it.

In fact, the difficulty of practicing the Object-Controlling Technique was not much higher than the Spiritual Perception Technique.

If there were a mentor to provide guidance and answers, even with Wang Chen’s low Comprehension, he would have been able to enter the beginner level quickly.

However, as a low-level disciple of the Cloud Sun Sect’s Outer Sect, unless he shelled out Spirit Stones to pay for guidance, who would be willing to freely spend time and energy to help others for fun?

Even if there were such altruistic cultivators, Wang Chen had no way of meeting them.

He could only rely on himself.

“Rise!”

With the left hand supporting a round Fragmented Spirit Stone, Wang Chen pointed with his right hand’s sword gesture as he lightly scolded across the air.

As a result, the Fragmented Spirit Stone on his palm moved and floated up half an inch tremblingly.

Then it fell down.

He failed.

Wang Chen held the Fragmented Spirit Stone, stroked his chin with his sword finger, and fell into deep thought.

To control objects across the air, one must guide the mana with the power of the Divine Soul to bestow upon the target, and then take control of it.

Knowing is easy, but doing is hard; he performed the first step well, but at the most critical moment, he faltered.

He failed time and time again.

Wang Chen was certain that there must be some trick to it that he hadn’t yet grasped!

He sighed deeply and decided to stop practicing the spell for the day.

Cultivating Dharma spells was not a matter of more effort yielding better results.

Continually activating the mana in his Dantian and the power of his Divine Soul would lead to persistent accumulation of physical and mental exhaustion. Without rest and recovery, it would inevitably have serious effects over time.

Humans are like machines of exquisite complexity that need lubrication and maintenance.

Who has ever seen a machine that runs endlessly?

Leaving the quiet room and coming to the courtyard outside, Wang Chen realized that the sun had already shifted westward, and it was almost 13 p.m.!

At that moment, a huge shadow suddenly enveloped his house.

Wang Chen’s gaze instantly sharpened!

He saw in the high sky, a Mangonel Flying Warship coming from the west, perfectly blocking out the sun.

This flying warship stretched for dozens of zhang, its entire body presenting a pale golden hue, carved with countless intricate and mysterious runes on its surface, equipped with numerous heavy crossbow magic artifacts, that were fearsome to behold.

Above the bow, a Cloud Dragon Mystic Banner fluttered in the wind, rustling loudly!

The Cloud Sun Flying Ship!

Wang Chen couldn’t help but be startled.

Flying warships were major weapons of a sect, and crafting one required a vast number of Spirit Stones and precious materials.

The Cloud Sun Sect, as the largest sect in the Heaven Cloud Mountain range, also possessed only a few flying warships.

Moreover, the consumption for a single deployment was enormous, akin to a Luxgen among large-scale magical artifacts; the original owner had lived here for more than a decade and could count on one hand the times he had seen a flying warship soaring through the sky.

Usually, the Cloud Sun Sect would only dispatch a flying warship in the event of a major war.

Furthermore, what astonished Wang Chen was that the Cloud Sun Flying Ship didn’t fly very far.

Its speed suddenly decreased, and it hovered motionless in the air.

What are they trying to do?

Wang Chen quickly opened the gate of his courtyard and walked out.

“Doggie!”

Neighbor Old Sun hurried along the pathway, excitedly shouting, “The main hall has dispatched the flying warship, now even a multitude of Earth Rhinoceros Beetles will not become a calamity, let’s hurry over and have a look!”

Why go and have a look?

Wang Chen truly didn’t understand Old Sun’s train of thought—couldn’t he see it from his home?

The Cloud Sun Flying Ship was only about ten li away from this place.

And to deal with mere Earth Rhinoceros Beetles, the Cloud Sun Sect had actually dispatched a flying warship, putting on such a grand display; was this some kind of joke?

Wang Chen had an instinctive feeling that something was not right, and immediately shook his head, saying, “I’m not going.”

He wanted to persuade Old Sun not to go either.

One should be cautious when joining a crowd; watching the excitement is not without risk!

But before he could utter a word of caution, Old Sun had already dashed past him in a wisp of smoke.

He was as fast as if he were racing for reincarnation!

Wang Chen was speechless.

In fact, it wasn’t just Old Sun who had come out of his home to gaze at the spectacle; Wang Chen saw quite a few others joining in the excitement too.

As if there was treasure to be picked up!

Wang Chen had no intention of following the crowd; he even felt that they were too close to the Cloud Sun Flying Ship.

So he closed his courtyard gate firmly and ran five li north, climbing up a nearby small hill.

No sooner had Wang Chen found an advantageous position and settled in to observe, the Cloud Sun Flying Ship in the distance became active.

The runes on the warship’s body lit up one by one, emitting thousands of bright rays of light.

The intense fluctuations of mana were palpable even to Wang Chen, who was more than ten li away.

His Divine Soul was greatly shaken!

Following this, streams of clear and limpid Spiritual Light soared into the sky from the vast Spirit Fields below the warship.

All the Formation Banners inserted in the fields were activated at once!

Swaths of black beetles burst forth from the earth, spreading their wings and desperately flying towards the high skies.

Among them were numerous larger Monsterized Earth Rhinos!

However, as these Earth Rhinos took flight, a mighty overwhelming force suddenly enveloped heaven and earth, instantly extinguishing their vitality.

Thousands of insect corpses fell like raindrops, creating a spectacular scene.

This also prompted the onlookers at the scene to scramble for them.

Wang Chen finally understood why Old Sun and the others were so eager to rush over to the commotion.

There really was something to pick up.

In just a moment, all the Earth Rhinos were eradicated.

Is it over just like that?

Wang Chen didn’t think so.
