Paradise of Demonic Gods-Chapter 1068 - Studying Profoundness

In this great battle, the Sharp Swords troop’s suits of armor and electromagnetic rifles, as well as Eunuch Wang’s and Zhao Yinglan’s Universe Knight Systems, caused a great sensation. They also attracted Xiao Shen’s attention.

‘These great killing weapons… We must capture them, bring them back, and study their secrets. If the imperial court can mass produce these weapons, the consequences will be dire. These weapons must be in our hands.’

At the thought of this, Xiao Shen’s countenance turned extremely grim. His intention to covet the imperial court’s weapons also increased tremendously.

However, after witnessing the battle where Fang Xingjian took on Blood Sea single-handedly, Xiao Shen was already treating Fang Xuan as his greatest rival in this lifetime.

Although he believed that with his ability to shatter void space, there was no one in this world who could kill him when he was integrated with the complete version of the Great Dao’s Testimony that the Three Mountains Four Peaks had inherited for several centuries. However, Xiao Shen still chose to be more careful when dealing with Fang Xuan.

This time around, despite the fact that he had been secretly observing the battle in the dark, he had not taken the initiative to make a move. After ascertaining the defeat and abducting the imperial court’s latest weapons, he let the entire army from the feudal vassals be left as cannon fodder for testing out the imperial court.

It was because, in Xiao Shen’s eyes, only heaven-blessed cultivators and Great Dao Realm experts were the main force to defeat Fang Xuan in the future. Everything else could be sacrificed.

He did not bring Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian back to the Three Mountains Four Peaks from the beginning in case the imperial court had means to track these two weapons.

However, what he did not know was that when he trapped Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian in the mountain, one of Fang Xingjian’s clones had followed him and stood in the mountain next to the two of them.

Given Fang Xingjian’s current cultivation level, ordinary illusionary arts were as easy as eating or drinking. He stood right there, but no one was able to see him, hear him, or come into contact with him.

Fang Xingjian threw a glance toward the duo’s body and thought, ‘He’s really careful.’

Fang Xingjian had only sent out a clone and was unconcerned about spending a little time here. He concealed himself next to the two people while waiting for Xiao Shen’s next course of action.

Over the next few days, Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian continued to be trapped in the underground cave that could not see any light. Xiao Shen would periodically bring food and water over using his ability to shatter space, assuring that the duo would not die.

As for the majority of the remaining time, he would observe the duo using his ability to shatter void space.

Three days later, Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian depleted their armors’ energies completely and were forced to take down their armors.

Over the next five days, Xiao Shen kept on inspecting the armors which the duo had taken off. After ascertaining that there was no threat, he finally brought along the duo and the suits of armor to translocate once again.

This time around, he brought Eunuch Wang and Wang Tian to a dungeon and had them imprisoned. He had the suits of armor brought back directly.

It was a pity that he did not know there were no intrinsic differences to Fang Xingjian’s Sudden Inspiration in sensing people or things.

Sensing where the two suits of armor went, Fang Xingjian instantly turned into an invisible wave, passing through space at light speed, and arriving in the sky above Ding Region’s Flying Immortal Mountain.

This Flying Immortal Mountain was a massive mountain range that cut across several regions in the south. There had been many legends and mythologies concerning immortals and demons left behind amongst the people. By the looks of it, the Three Mountains Four Peaks also had one of their important bases located amongst this mountain range.

Sensing the targets’ locations, Fang Xingjian’s body moved slightly, and he landed at the top of a mountain with his martial will scattering out in all directions. He was able to immediately sense that there were about over 100 people in the many stone chambers of varying sizes, mountain cliffs, and platforms.

Most of them were elite disciples and Elders, but Fang Xingjian did not care about them at all. Only five of them really attracted his interest.

Out of those five, three of them gave him a very similar feeling to Xiao Shen. They were gathered on a platform and seemed to be cultivating martial arts.

The other two people’s cultivation seemed to be about the same level as Xiao Shen’s, and they were training in seclusion in a stone chamber. When Fang Xingjian saw them, his gaze immediately narrowed. They were clearly integrating the Great Dao’s Testimony and striving to reach the Great Dao Realm.

Fang Xingjian knew that he had found the right place. However, he did not alarm them. Instead, with a movement, he appeared before the two people.

As for the two sets of armor that Xiao Shen had snatched, Fang Xingjian was not worried at all. It was because he had tampered with them while they were still in the mountain. Even if Iron Man ¹ were to study them, he would not be able to find out anything, let alone Xiao Shen.

The two people in the stone chamber were the Three Mountains Four Peaks’ top expert Qian Huang and the Wanshou Mountain’s Sect Master Ruzi.

They two of them sat cross-legged and eyes closed. Layers of Tiangang Qis and Disha Qis charged to and fro around them, eventually turning into waves of extremely pure Gang Qis that kept on integrating into their bodies.

Under this surface, Fang Xingjian could sense that the light waves, gravity, and even space around them were going through fine changes. These changes came about very naturally, and even Fang Xingjian was unable to detect any external interference.

They were clearly taking gradual steps to the Great Dao Realm after going through in-depth communication with the world’s consciousness.

However, under Fang Xingjian’s observations, the two of them were clearly not heaven-blessed cultivators. This spiked his curiosity even more.

After observing them for one day and one night, Fang Xingjian finally understood the situation.

‘These two people are sacrificing themselves.’

Through Fang Xingjian’s observations, the method that these two experts were using to integrate with the Great Dao’s Testimony was both simple and plaintive. They were using the world’s consciousness to slowly replace their own consciousness.

When Fang Xingjian studied this world’s martial arts previously, he had already discovered that cultivators’ consciousness would have some colonial consciousness from Disha Qis mixed in from the Disha Realm onward. After reaching the Tiangang Realm, some colonial powers left behind by countless experts across history would be mixed in.

As a result, the stronger their cultivation became, the more they would be influenced by this world.

It was also because of this that when Fang Xingjian cleared the first acupuncture point after attaining a breakthrough to the Disha Realm, he did not continue cultivating this world’s martial arts.

Right now, what these two people were doing was even more extreme. They kept on wiping out their own emotions, character, and consciousness. Then they channeled in the world’s consciousness by refining and absorbing Gang Qis. Through this method, they became carriers of this world’s consciousness in order to integrate with the Great Dao’s Testimony.

However, the moment a person started this cultivating method, there would be no turning back and the world’s consciousness would keep on channeling in. The moment the world’s consciousness channeled into a person’s body, they would not be able to stop their bodies from being slowly replaced with the world’s consciousness.

This was like water leaking into a submarine. No matter how they started, the speed at which seawater gushed in would only get increasingly faster.

No matter how hard they tried to resist, Fang Xingjian felt that they would only be able to hang on for a maximum of ten years before their consciousness would disappear completely. Fang Xingjian was unsure as to what kind of monster would be left behind thereafter.
