Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill-Chapter 399 - 31 Insufficient Privileges

Chapter 399 -31 Insufficient Privileges

“Four white lotuses, which are actually the White Lotus Clan following Wang Sheng, all had the strength of Great Grandmasters. They were brought by the people from the Four Major Families to the four counties, supposedly to be called upon for unsolvable issues, but their true mission was not that, the real guardianship task was solely Dragon Smoke’s responsibility.”

“Previously, they hadn’t made a move, simply following Wang Sheng’s plan to bait out all who obstructed and then dealt with them together.”

“However, after receiving a message from Wang Sheng, Dragon Smoke took direct action.”

“Two children, each holding a sword.”

“In an instant, those obstructing others from entering the Three Counties area all saw a sword light at the same time.”

“Dragon Smoke was an extension of Wang Sheng’s will and Divine Thought. Using the Sword Transformation Technique and flying swords, he located positions by enveloping the entire Three Counties through the Spirit World.”

“In an instant, all those involved in the obstruction lost their lives.”

“He could ignore other matters, but if someone attempted to obstruct his plan, there was no negotiation.”

“And naturally, this was observed by those secretly watching.”

“Those secretly observing realized what the lingering sword light meant after it struck down the obstructers.”

“‘Gulp~'”

“Someone swallowed, feeling as though they had just walked past the Ghost Gate.”

“Luckily someone tested it.”

“Everyone who wanted to monopolize the opportunity was forcibly suppressed. The world that was about to arrive was definitely not something they could monopolize.”

“Some thought even further, the stronger the force, the more cautious they were.”

“Although Yuelai Inn spoke of a mysterious world arriving, they hadn’t specified if this so-called arrival was a natural event or man-made. Now, it seemed very likely to be man-made!”

“Someone taking action to kill those who obstructed, clearly wanted to allow others into that so-called mysterious world.”

“Indeed, the benefits are substantial, but no cost was mentioned; I don’t believe this can be used at will. Let’s first let our men explore the situation.”

“When facing unfamiliar things, no one could enter without vigilance.”

“Many were still watching.”

“Meanwhile, Wang Sheng was also making the final preparations; once completed, the Spirit World would be activated.”

“The first step was the method for entering the Spirit World.”

“Originally, it required specially made Jade Talismans, but during the ‘Memory Modification’ incident, he discovered new methods through the newly uncovered Qi Fortune Line. After covering with the Spirit World and using special methods, it could lead people in.”

“What Wang Sheng employed was using Jade Talismans, allowing everyone to be covered. Essentially, it marked people. As long as they were within the range of his Spirit World, those marked could enter the Spirit World actively.”

“The White Lotus Clan actually went out to protect the Jade Talismans.”

“This method of entry was already very close to the final product of his plan which was much more convenient than the previous steps of making special Jade Talismans.”

“And then there was the Spirit World itself, which had been perfected mainly due to the power of the Five Internal Gods.”

“Five Internal Organs Containing God. Awakening Five: 86%.”

“As the utilization of the Spirit World increased, his Five Internal Gods’ advancement was rapid. The last one, the Water Element of the Five Internal Gods, Xuan Ming, finally awakened.”

“With the awakening of the Water Element of the Five Internal Gods and its suppression over the Spirit World afterwards, the Spirit World seemed to be infused with vitality. Previously, one could still see the flaws in the Spirit World from various aspects.”

“But now, unless it was a powerful being deliberately probing, these issues were hardly detectable.”

“Of course, the benefits were not limited to this.”

“After the Five Elements were complete, martial artists entering the inner part of the Spirit World found that the simulation of the body became increasingly strong. Below the Grandmaster Level, it could achieve a hundred percent simulation without errors, encompassing Qi-Blood Power.”

“Or it could be said that this was no longer just simulation but replicating an identical physical body in the Spirit World.”

“Wang Sheng thought this terrifying effect was not simple, believing that in the future it could truly turn the false into reality.”

“Turning originally illusory things into reality.”

“Grandmasters could also simulate one hundred percent, although there were still some flaws compared to non-quality-changing martial artists, but cultivation was still unproblematic.”

“And for those above the Grandmaster Level, although there were still some defects, looking at how often Zhu Xiao used it should indicate how powerful it was; it didn’t stick to conventions.”

“Having sorted out the Spirit World again, Wang Sheng paused.”

“Preparation complete, the final step is to activate the jade stones at the White Lotus’s location…”

“Connection begins!”

“Just then, all the powerhouses in the Three Counties saw the emergence of four light pillars.”

“The light pillars seemed to reach the sky, but in fact, they disappeared into the void, extending towards an unknown place.”

“Following that, a white light screen began to unfold anchored by the four light pillars, covering the area of the light pillars. People within the range passed through the light screen, and after the light screen disappeared, they found that they could sense something if they just concentrated.”

“‘Am I sensing that unknown world?'”

“No one answered him because no one had yet figured out exactly what was happening.”

“But soon, a mechanical voice resonated within the range covered by the light pillars.”

“[The Spirit Network has been activated, starting test, focus your mind, silently think ‘log in’ to enter the Spirit Network.]”

“This was specifically set up by Wang Sheng, maintaining a sense of mystery while guiding the actions of those covered.”

“Hearing this, some people couldn’t wait.”

“Li Yi was one of them; knowing there were some issues with the mysterious world after the persons obstructing him were killed, he still wanted to take a chance.”

After focusing his mind, he uttered the strange words “log in.”

Upon finishing, he felt a moment of haziness in his mind, and upon opening his eyes again, he had left his original location.

At the same time, a voice rang out.

[During the test period, physical protection is activated. You are now free to explore and cultivate in this world, and you will not truly die. If you wish to leave, simply think “log out.”]

[Warning, you will not truly die in this world, but it will consume spiritual power. If your spiritual power reaches a threshold, you will be forcibly expelled and not allowed to enter again for three days. Please manage accordingly.]

After the voice ceased, it never appeared again, and there were no further prompts.

“So, I’m free to act now?” Although Li Yi was old, his mind was clear.

He knew exactly why he had entered here.

“In this world, I cannot truly be hurt, which means…”

He ignored the increasing number of people entering and went straight to a quiet place to feel his body, then began the act he had done hundreds of times before—breaking through to grandmaster.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

As expected, he failed again, but a smile appeared on his lips, growing bigger and bigger.

“Ha ha ha, it’s true, all of it’s true! I really won’t get hurt!”

He had just tried and failed to break through; had it been the outside world, he would have been severely injured and according to his physical condition, likely would have died.

But after his recent failure, his body quickly returned to its original state, exactly the same as when he started.

What this meant, he knew all too well—it meant he could attempt the grandmaster breakthrough without any reservations until he found the path that best suited him.

“This is much more convenient than finding a grandmaster-level secret technique. There’s no risk, and the value is higher.”

Li Yi had a feeling that shortly, the number of grandmaster-level martial artists would increase, though they wouldn’t be everywhere.

The role of the Mysterious World was simply too shocking.

“If it can also help break through to great grandmaster…”

He couldn’t imagine how much the introduction of this element would change the greater landscape.

“I mustn’t think too much. In the future, being a grandmaster might barely grant some authority. With such favorable conditions, I must break through quickly.”

He immersed himself in cultivation once again.

He could try repeatedly without needing to recover from injuries, and he soon succeeded once.

When he succeeded, the familiar mechanical voice rang out again.

[Congratulations on your successful breakthrough. Due to insufficient authority, cultivation level cannot be synchronized. Please attempt the breakthrough again in the real world.]

“Unable to synchronize, does that mean this isn’t my physical body?”

Li Yi thought back to the initial phrase “physical protection activated,” which he hadn’t understood before, but now he did.

“But what is this so-called authority?”

After pondering for a while, he couldn’t figure it out and didn’t dwell on it.

If synchronization wasn’t possible, so be it—as long as he had the experience from here, he could easily make the breakthrough when he returned, gaining not just strength but also longevity…

With these thoughts, Li Yi felt excited, though he didn’t immediately exit; perhaps there were even stronger paths to explore, or at worst, he could practice the path he had discovered several more times, ensuring more confidence upon his return.

Many people had come to the Spirit World as part of the first group, each with their own agenda.

Their psychology and methods were similar to those of Li Yi.

The Spirit World was immensely powerful and had to be utilized well.

After all, no one knew if the Mysterious World would remain indefinitely; time was of the essence.

Some also heard about the insufficient authority, but they didn’t mind.

What they didn’t know was that they were being watched.

It was Wang Sheng.

In the Spirit World, he had absolute control and could easily observe everyone’s behavior.

“What insufficient authority? It’s just insufficient capabilities for now…”

The Spirit World was, after all, just testing its reach outwardly, naturally there would be shortcomings.

However, to maintain a sense of mystery and power, it was necessary to not plainly admit “not possible,” thus Wang Sheng, combining his memories from a past life, came up with this “authority” concept.

Can’t do it?

Just say insufficient authority.

Clearly, this tactic was effective; everyone was fooled into thinking the problem was theirs, not the Spirit World’s.

The operation was running very smoothly.

However, someone was soon forcibly removed from the Spirit World.

“I told you to restrain yourself, why wouldn’t you listen!”

Wang Sheng had no solution for this situation; excessive consumption of spiritual power meant staying any longer could be fatal.

What he didn’t know was that the removal of this person caused quite a stir!
