Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 389 - 21: The Shadows Entwined in the Spirit World

Chapter 389 -21: The Shadows Entwined in the Spirit World

Still using the Jade Talisman as a medium, Wang Sheng created something similar to the scales of that Spirit Clan ancestor, allowing access to the Spirit World where Heavenly Father resided.

Once he understood the principle behind it, it didn’t seem that difficult—of course, this was in hindsight.

Having researched this object, Wang Sheng felt somewhat exhilarated.

His grievance with Heavenly Father began over twenty years ago, and later, because of his uniqueness, their relationship turned into an unending conflict.

However, he had always been at a disadvantage, even though he was stronger than Heavenly Father, because he never had the ability to take the initiative to attack.

The Spirit World was the biggest obstacle in his way.

Although the Spirit World of Heavenly Father didn’t seem as rich as his own, its strength and size exceeded his own by far, and he had no way to enter.

But with the appearance of the Jade Talisman—

“Today, the roles of offense and defense are reversed. I will be the one to take the initiative. Heavenly Father, I hope you can hold on a little longer!”

After creating the Jade Talisman to enter the Spirit World, naturally, it needed to be tested.

But having already made it, Wang Sheng wasn’t in a rush and instead took a two-day rest, relaxing to reach an optimal state, and prepared extremely strong protective measures for his body before using the Jade Talisman he’d crafted.

Entering Heavenly Father’s Spirit World by himself and being pulled into it by Heavenly Father felt completely different.

During the entry process, Wang Sheng clearly felt that in this state, unless there was a significant difference in power, it would be virtually impossible to be ambushed.

Soon, he arrived in a familiar place.

“I’ve succeeded, I’ve arrived in the Spirit World!” Although he had anticipated such a result, he couldn’t help feeling an irrepressible joy when it actually occurred.

He quickly regained his composure, remembering that the Spirit World was Heavenly Father’s domain.

However, after waiting for a while, nothing approached him, and the Spirit World remained tranquil, like a peaceful Immortal Realm.

“No appearance, is it because it has sensed my presence?”

Heavenly Father feared Wang Sheng and had fled from him several times before. He suspected that the same thing might be happening now.

The previous battle in the Spirit World proved that Heavenly Father’s intelligence was not low at all.

Cowering was certainly a possibility!

If it had been earlier, he might not have pursued the matter further because entering the Spirit World was a rare opportunity, and it was best to spend the time researching. But now that he had mastered the method of entry on his own terms, it naturally presented another option!

Without hesitation, Wang Sheng began to search within the Spirit World—looking for the presence of Heavenly Father.

He didn’t believe Heavenly Father could just vanish into thin air; it was more likely that he was hiding.

The Spirit World was vast, but the existence of barriers already proved it was not infinite.

Wang Sheng quickly came upon a barrier.

“Before, these barriers seemed formidable, but now, they seem rather trivial!”

The first time he arrived, Wang Sheng discovered the barriers within the Spirit World, which he had no way of breaking at the time.

But now… they couldn’t stop him!

The once-unbreakable barriers were now easily shattered by his current strength.

The Divine Thought and the Five Internal Gods could easily break through such barriers; there were plenty of ways to do so.

“I don’t know if the two previous entries and this one are the same place, but I can take this opportunity to look around and also search for traces of Heavenly Father.”

He had searched throughout this part where he was, and found nothing.

This was within his expectations; if Heavenly Father really wanted to flee, he would not stay here waiting to be found. After all, Wang Sheng had already searched here the first time.

There was no harvest.

This time, the search range could be expanded.

Divine Thought moved at will, borrowing the power of Hao Hua to easily slice through the barriers in the Spirit World, creating a massive gap.

At the same time, he also noticed some changes in the Spirit World.

“Previously, the world divided by the barriers had four sections; now, there are only two left. It seems my guess was not wrong; these barriers are actually the corresponding dynasties of the present world.”

The past dynasties numbered four, so the barriers divided the world into four areas, but as time passed and only two dynasties remained, the Spirit World was also split into two.

“The Ming Dynasty and the Qian Dynasty, one dynasty corresponds to one area, but to me, they are actually the same.”

It was just the divided areas that changed, not their size.

The place he intended to explore remained the same.

He entered another part of the Spirit World composedly, searching for the existence of the Heavenly Father while sensing the differences between the two sides of the Spirit World.

“There’s no difference at all… Does that mean that the differences in dynasties don’t affect the essence of the Spirit World? How strange!”

He believed that the creation of the spirit barriers was due to the existence of dynasties, but after investigating, he found that the influence on the Spirit World seemed to be just the appearance of a barrier with the other places remaining the same.

“Either my guess is wrong, or the creation of the Spirit World actually has nothing to do with the dynasties, with the dynasties only able to influence up to a certain degree…”

As his strength increased, Wang Sheng discovered that the secrets of the Spirit World were more numerous than he had imagined.

But that was even better; if he could see through it all at once, how could he use it as a reference to perfect his own world? He even hoped the stronger the Spirit World, the better.

So, he continued his investigation while also continuing the search for the Heavenly Father.

Unfortunately, after several attempts, he still could not find the Heavenly Father’s presence.

“Disappeared into thin air?”

“There’s no existence in either part, could it have gone to an even farther place?”

Wang Sheng suddenly thought that this world was not limited to one dynasty’s existence.

He walked toward the very edge of the Spirit World, having not paid attention to what lay at the margins while searching for the Heavenly Father earlier.

Soon, he discovered another barrier, but unlike the previous ones, beyond this barrier lay a bottomless abyss, like a nonexistent void, completely empty.

However, Wang Sheng detected something unusual.

Far in the distance of the Dark Abyss seemed to be another Spirit World.

“Is it the Spirit World of another dynasty?”

Wang Sheng wanted to check it out, but looking at the dark void of the abyss, he abandoned the idea.

Without knowing the dangers, he did not want to risk it.

“Forget it, if it can’t be found, then it can’t be found. I’d better study the Spirit World itself!”

This journey into the Spirit World had two purposes: to find the Heavenly Father and to learn from the Spirit World itself.

Since the Heavenly Father could not be found, he wouldn’t force the issue any further; he didn’t think that the Heavenly Father would abandon this place.

He was an extremely greedy monster, harvesting even newborn infants; such a vast Spirit World was obviously not something to be easily discarded.

“It seems next time I’ll have to find a way to enter the Spirit World without making a sound!”

Only then might it be possible to capture the Heavenly Father.

After a sigh, Wang Sheng went to research the vortices of the Spirit World. Although they had changed, the vortices still existed.

What Wang Sheng did not notice, though, was that, after immersing himself in studying the Spirit World, the distant Spirit World seemed to have been cast with some shadow…

Not only that, but after studying the vortex for some time, the Spirit World he was in underwent tremendous tremors!

(I said three updates of nine thousand words each, but I slacked off again; I found it hard to get used to writing ten thousand words a day, slacking off is easy, so I’m invoking a previous bet—three updates of at least 9000 words tomorrow, or else I’ll cross-dress.)
