Chapter 351: One Sword Obliterates a Special Spirit Body

On the surface of the sea a thousand miles away.

A joint fleet, composed mainly of ships and personnel from Flower Flag Country and various regions across the ocean, was currently lingering on the sea surface, coordinating with underwater robots to carry out an inspection mission.

Suddenly!

The captains in the cockpits all received warning messages sent from their respective countries.

After seeing the content of the warnings clearly.

These captains and the crew members around them immediately had their expressions change drastically.

A first mate immediately began to clamor, demanding to end the mission at once and flee with all their might.

This demand immediately received the support of most of the crew.

Although the treatment for everyone on this inspection mission was quite good.

But it was very clear that this bit of money was not enough for them to risk their lives for it.

There were also fellow experts who, after frowning and calculating, pointed out that even if they abandoned the mission and evacuated immediately, they still could not get far enough away from the danger zone of the space-time rift within the stipulated time.

"So we cannot panic! After all, panicking is useless!"

An elderly expert suggested:

"And we must not scatter, whether considering the support from the human coalition or the supernaturals who might appear."

"Scattering will only cause trouble for them."

Although the expert said this, in his heart he did not say that he was more afraid that those people would not consider them trouble and would directly unleash a major move, accidentally involving them as well...

The captains all heard this suggestion through a video conference, and at first, they naturally nodded in agreement.

However.

As a long, narrow space-time rift appeared on the distant sea horizon.

And very quickly, when a jelly-like monster composed of countless dark green pustules crawled out of the rift.

Regardless of whether they were captains or crew members, upon seeing the other party, their minds went blank, and they then fell into the instinct to flee for their lives.

This caused quite a few underwater personnel to still be in the process of surfacing.

The ships had already started up and entered a state of slowly accelerating.

Causing the personnel who had not yet managed to get on board to be stunned, and unable to help but spew profanities over the communication channels.

There were also those who had just surfaced and, upon looking back, saw the monster that had appeared from the space-time rift.

They immediately fell into extreme fear as well and began to swim desperately to escape.

Some even felt that their movement was restricted by the equipment on their bodies, and without thinking at all about what to do next, they abandoned the inspection capsule they were sitting in and plunged into the seawater with a splash.

"Mental Pollution! The monster that appeared this time should be a monster specialized in Mental Pollution!"

In the Supernatural Countermeasures Research Institute of Flower Flag Country.

Through video signals provided by low-orbit satellites and drones left behind by the inspection fleet, the experts in the institute successively determined the various characteristics of the Abyss monsters this time.

"The inspection fleet this time is in grave danger!"

The expert who spoke earlier made his judgment.

However, the person in charge of this sector did not have an ugly expression, but instead widened his eyes after hearing a piece of news.

Then, after glancing at the big screen, he opened his mouth wide and said:

"Ye, yes, our monitoring here captured it!"

"That, that huge blue Sword Shadow has appeared on the horizon!"

"Hiss!"

"So fast! This speed has already exceeded most hypersonic missiles, right!"

While this person in charge was speaking.

On the sea surface, the Zhuxie Sword Shadow from Zhang Qiuzhen had already appeared in the eyes of those crew members.

The Sword Shadow cut through the sky, and as it passed over this fleet.

The sword intent it emitted caused everyone below to tremble in unison.

They woke up from their fear of the Abyss monsters.

They let out a long breath, and with a trace of confusion, they hurriedly slowed down the ship's speed while running out of the cabin to look at the huge Sword Shadow that had already appeared on the sea horizon.

They saw that blue Sword Shadow sink into the dark green monster that had crawled out of the space-time rift.

Then, between the entire heaven and earth, a blue fireball suddenly bloomed.

That ball of light was dazzling and eye-catching, causing the people who watched this scene to scream immediately, their eyes in extreme pain.

Fortunately, apart from the pain, no other side effects appeared.

After resting for a bit, they were able to recover.

The blue light gradually weakened, but it did not disappear.

Instead, it re-differentiated from a thousand-meter giant sword into nine hundred and ninety-nine light blue Long Swords ranging from ten to one hundred meters.

These Long Swords had become smaller.

But they had also become more lifelike.

It seemed... they did not look like mere shadows?

And in fact, they were indeed not shadows, but rather, there were truly Dharma Swords of normal size in the style of the Evil-Slaying Sword serving as the main bodies, bearing the Dharma Power of the Sword Array.

Swish!

These Dharma Swords manifested light blue sword light of varying sizes.

They hovered in the air, with their sword tips aimed at the space-time rift.

As the second wave of Abyss monsters appeared in front of the rift.

Before even the curious onlookers from the various major forces could see clearly what this second wave of monsters, which would logically be even more powerful, would look like.

The Abyss monster had just appeared in the air.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine Dharma Swords pierced over in an instant.

The pale blue Sword Light brought forth, the erupting Sword Qi, seemed to have sliced even space itself apart.

It left those watching via satellite seeing only a patch of blue light crisscrossing in space for a few seconds, and then that patch of space no longer had a Space-Time Rift, nor did it have the figures of those Sword Shadows.

It was as if nothing had happened at all.

This scene left the big shots and experts who saw it stunned.

After a good while, someone muttered to themselves:

"We all know that Zhang Qiuzhen is very powerful."

"But I never expected he could be powerful to such a degree."

"If such an offensive were used against our Flower Flag Country... wouldn't it be able to easily wipe all the fleets we are so proud of right off the surface of the sea?"

Many people had this terrifying, imaginary scene playing out in their minds,

when an expert tactlessly added:

"Don't even mention the surface fleets; even if it were us, if the other party wanted to, they could completely wipe us out with a single sword!"

"According to our analysis of those magical Sword Shadows, our current safety bases, built with the purpose of resisting nuclear attacks... have a very high probability of being minimally effective against these magical Sword Shadows..."

…………

"Hoo!"

Zhang Qiuzhen exhaled lightly in the high altitude, then slowly drifted back down to the ground.

With a hint of a smile, he said to Zhou Xuan and Zhang Long:

"The matter of the Space-Time Rift has been resolved."

"The Immortal will likely summon us in a moment; before then, how about we return to the room to enjoy some tea?"

Zhou Xuan naturally agreed readily.

At the same time, he felt an increasing admiration for Zhang Qiuzhen.

The entire process of mobilizing the Evil-Slaying Ten Thousand Sword Array to form the Zhuxie Sword Light was so fluid and effortless.

Clearly, Senior Brother Zhang's talent for Arrays was also quite extraordinary.

It was no wonder that even though he himself was the earliest Water Blue Star native to enter the Cloud Coming Immortal Sect,

it was this Senior Brother Zhang Qiuzhen who entered the Immortal Sect first, was listed as a Formal Disciple, and became the senior brother.

Sigh, this is the norm of cultivation, isn't it?

The gap between people is far more exaggerated and greater than under a technological civilization!

Zhou Xuan felt helpless about this.

However, his heart did not waver in the slightest regarding his own path of cultivation.

No matter how large the gap compared to others might be,

it could not shake Zhou Xuan's cultivation state of mind.

Zhang Long did not know any of this; he only felt that Senior Brother Zhang had just looked truly cool.

He also wondered how long he would have to cultivate before he could do the same thing.

Then, Zhang Long felt that this Senior Brother's tea was truly bitter.

It was just as terrible as the place where he lived.

If it were him, how could he go without a mansion, gourmet food, games, manga, novels, and anime while cultivating?

These were all things that could keep his thoughts clear; according to the cultivation explanation videos Zhang Long watched, keeping one's thoughts clear was very important for cultivation!

One incense stick of time after the Space-Time Rift appeared and vanished.

After Su Ping, with the help of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree, finished studying the full meaning of another stone tablet Immortal text,

he returned to the Pot Heaven, and with a wave of his hand, had Zhang Qiudao and Zhou Xuan appear before him.

Su Ping also learned of the abnormality of this person, Zhang Long.

After whispering that it was interesting,

before long, Zhang Long, who had been issued a supplementary Invitation Letter, also entered the Pot Heaven with a bewildered expression.

After feeling the dense Spirit Qi of the Yunlai Immortal Realm,

Zhang Long understood that Senior Brother Zhou had not lied to him before!

The air in the Immortal Sect's Dongtian was truly wonderful!

After just a few breaths of Spirit Qi entered his abdomen, Zhang Long felt he had never been so comfortable in his entire life.

Su Ping had Zhang Qiuzhen and Zhou Xuan head to the Floating Vanity Dream Temple for a journey of tempering the heart.

Then Zhang Qiuzhen would enter the Cave Abode to cultivate.

Zhou Xuan was to head to the Zhenwu Fumo Dijun Shenmiao to pay respects and familiarize himself with the blessing of the Heavenly Soldier statues.

Exorcist Mage Yunkong was also about to have enough fishing resources to successfully advance to the fourth rank.

At that time, these statues would also be able to increase in level along with him.

Those who received the blessing of the Heavenly Soldier and Heavenly General statues would also be able to play a greater role later on.

As for Zhang Long.

Su Ping took him and left the Pot Heaven, returning to the crown of the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree on the Moon Surface.

He also had the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree Primordial Spirit Avatar appear to the side to assist him in studying Zhang Long together.

As for Zhang Long, the subject of the study, after being lightly glanced at by Su Ping, he had already fallen into a deep sleep, leaving him at Su Ping's mercy.

Su Ping took out the Bloodline Magic Tool harvested from the Five Elements World.

After taking Zhang Long's blood for testing,

Not a single Bloodline Magic Tool showed any anomaly.

Clearly, these magic tools had not recorded Zhang Long's Spirit Body either.

As for whether Zhang Long might not have a Spirit Body, and the incredible coincidences that occurred before were truly just coincidences.

Su Ping felt that was not the case.

Because under the perception of Su Ping's Primordial Spirit.

He could indeed feel that this Zhang Long seemed to have a soul strength naturally different from ordinary people.

And it contained a certain elusive profundity.

"The magic tools aren't working; I'll have to go to the trouble of letting Xiaomeng help."

Su Ping's heart stirred, and Xiaomeng, whose body size had transformed to be about the same as an ordinary small snake, was summoned out.

Then, as Xiaomeng opened its large eyes.

Swish!

The Dream Barrier unfolded!

Zhang Long's Divine Soul and subconscious were both dragged into it.

The secrets hidden deep within his Divine Soul were subsequently revealed to Su Ping's eyes.

Combining this with previous events, Su Ping suspected whether Zhang Long's talent was related to luck.

But as the examination deepened.

Su Ping discovered that this talent was actually not luck, but wishes.

Zhang Long was able to obtain a share of Supernatural Ingredients every time because, when snapping them up, he would wish as if self-hypnotizing that he must obtain this batch of ingredients to get rich.

Consequently, after his talent was activated due to a certain coincidence of coming into contact with Spirit Qi-nourished ingredients.

This wish was realized by the profound power within his body.

Furthermore, the profound power of this wish talent was actually very weak.

With Zhang Long's current abilities, it was impossible to influence reality.

Let alone influence other people.

That was why no matter how much he wanted to win when playing games, he couldn't affect the opponent's normal performance or stop them from showing off their skills.

Being able to influence the purchase share was only because what determined this share was, in the final analysis, just a string of virtual numbers.

It was an alteration of a virtual object, and it was still within the scope of its rules.

Only then was there a possibility of success.

"This constitution causes damage to the Divine Soul that is almost impossible to recover from on its own."

"..."

"If someone in the Cultivation World awakened this kind of constitution."

"I'm afraid they would only be treated as an ordinary person or Cultivator with good luck."

"And because the damage to the Divine Soul is irreversible, it is highly likely they would die young or become a fool because of it."

"Then they would become another example in others' mouths of how luck is conserved."

"Even this Zhang Long, if he hadn't been discovered by Zhou Xuan."

"I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before he would suddenly suffer premature aging from using his talent too many times, right?"

Su Ping took out a bottle of Purification Potion and poured it into Zhang Long's mouth.

Immediately, a change that had not existed before appeared.

After Zhang Long took the Purification Potion.

His Divine Soul greedily absorbed all the potion.

Then, Su Ping felt a craving coming from the deepest part of that Divine Soul, like a black hole.

That was not a simple craving for the Purification Potion.

It was a craving for everything related to Abundance!

"This kid!"

Su Ping was not alarmed but delighted.

The more abnormal Zhang Long's talent was, the more he liked it.

Because next time after catching a Star Spirit Fish.

Zhang Long having it meant Su Ping had it too, and because of his Primordial Spirit strength and cultivation, he could exert an even stronger effect!

In Su Ping's mind, he also had a flash of inspiration and sensed the name of the Spirit Body that this Zhang Long possessed.

It was not a simple wish, but a Balance Spirit Body that included wishes and disappointments, joy and sorrow, gain and loss.

Zhang Long could not control this Spirit Body at all, so he only realized the wish of obtaining a little bit of Spirit Qi-nourished ingredients, yet paid a price that endangered his life.

And to be able to initially master this Spirit Body, a better way to use it would be to balance the cultivation within one's own body.

For example, at the cost of cultivating for a few more years or decades, exchange it for a bottleneck in a certain realm to break through on its own.

Or when refining pills, at the cost of paying more materials, exchange it for an increase in the success rate of Superior Pills.

Of course, these were all just hypotheses.

To truly reach such a level, Su Ping would need to explore it from scratch.

However, judging from this Spirit Body's special sensing of Abundance.

The potential of this Spirit Body... was absolutely not bad.

It might even be a potential existence on the same level as Abundance.

And the God of Abundance... in Su Ping's view, this was an ancient god no worse than those Abyss Seven Lords.

Zhang Long woke up from his sleep.

He discovered that he had appeared in an ancient and elegant room.

He checked that his clothes were intact, rubbed his head, let out a sigh of relief, and gradually recalled what had happened before.

"This is still in the Immortal Sect Dongtian, right?"

Zhang Long muttered a few words in a low voice.

Suddenly, he noticed the room door being opened.

Immediately, he saw a White Crane Boy, who looked like an immortal child and had snow-white wings on his back, walk in.

"Awake?"

The White Crane Boy took out a Storage Bag and retrieved clothing from inside, placing it on the tabletop:

"Change into these clothes, then consume this Pill as breakfast."

"For the next period of time."

"You will serve as an Outer Sect Disciple of the Immortal Sect and receive my training and instruction."

"Your several senior martial brothers have placed high hopes on you, hoping you can seize this opportunity granted by the Immortal Master."

"Huh?"

"Please rest assured, Senior Martial Brother, I will definitely listen to everything you say!"

Zhang Long was slightly startled, then felt a surge of joy in his heart; he hurriedly jumped off the bed and nodded repeatedly.

"..."

The White Crane Boy watched Zhang Long's nimble movements, his expression softening as he said:

"You may simply call me Bai He Daozhang..."
