Chapter 1095: Deceived

"Are you trying to fool a ghost?"

Wen Tiansheng rolled his eyes, "Look at you, kid, weak as a little chick, what kind of effort are you going to put in?"

"Don't go working yourself to death."

"You aren't going anywhere, kid; just stay at the Beast Taming Sect."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang argued his case.

Wen Tiansheng remained unmoved.

Finally.

Seeing that Wen Tiansheng would not budge, Wang Jianqiang did not continue.

He gave a light smile, "Fine, my elder brother is only worried about my safety, how could I be so stubborn?"

"Since that is the case, I will follow my elder brother's arrangements and stay at the Beast Taming Sect."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Wen Tiansheng let out a long sigh of relief.

After returning to his residence.

Wang Jianqiang went into the Cultivation Room.

With a wave of his palm, a large cluster of light appeared.

These light clusters were all Artistic Conception Origin Fragments.

He grabbed forward with his palm, and these Artistic Conception Origin Fragments were immediately pulled by a suction force, surging into his body.

He once again entered that state of harmony between man and nature.

With a thought, he focused all his attention on the Destruction Artistic Conception.

He contemplated it carefully.

Immediately, his Intent Power began to rise at an astonishing speed.

Level 3 Artistic Conception,

Level 4 Artistic Conception,

Level 5 Artistic Conception,

Finally, his Destruction Artistic Conception rose to Level 9.

Normally speaking.

Once an Artistic Conception reaches Level 9, both the development of its potential and the capacity of one's own Soul Power reach a limit.

But Wang Jianqiang was somewhat different at this moment.

He could clearly feel that his soul was still quite at ease, with room left to bear more.

The Intent Power also did not seem to have fully developed its potential, and it could continue to rise.

At this Spirit Transformation Stage, it seemed...

He could continue to improve!

He raised his eyebrows.

He fused another hundred Artistic Conception Origin Fragments.

He entered that wondrous state once again, and in this state, he continued to contemplate the Destruction Power.

He could feel that his Destruction Power was continuing to rise, and the speed of this rise was still terrifying.

In the blink of an eye.

The power of the hundred light clusters was exhausted, and he had not completed the breakthrough.

This result was within his expectations.

Normally speaking.

The more deeply one cultivates Intent Power, the harder it is to break through, and the more Artistic Conception Origin Fragments are required.

Take his recent cultivation process as an example: going from Level 7 Artistic Conception to Level 8 Artistic Conception only consumed two hundred Artistic Conception Origin Fragments.

But the breakthrough from Level 8 to Level 9 saw the consumption skyrocket, requiring a full five hundred.

To continue improving on the foundation of a Level 9 Artistic Conception, the consumption would inevitably skyrocket again.

He was silent for a moment.

He continued to absorb Artistic Conception Origin Fragments.

Two hundred.

Three hundred.

The Artistic Conception Origin Fragments before him decreased rapidly.

Finally.

After he had absorbed another two thousand Artistic Conception Origin Fragments, his Intent Power finally completed its transformation and reached an entirely different realm.

Only then.

Did he feel the pressure emanating from within his soul.

His soul's capacity had finally reached its limit.

And the potential of the Destruction Artistic Conception also seemed to have been released to its limit, unable to improve even a fraction more.

He let out a long breath.

It was an exciting thing that Intent Power could surpass the limit of Level 9.

But this consumption was, after all, a bit too high.

From Level 1 to Level 9, the total number of Artistic Conception Origin Fragments consumed to cultivate Intent Power is only a little over one thousand.

Just breaking through from Level 9 to Level 10 actually consumed two thousand!

It is almost double the amount from Level 1 to Level 9!

In other words, this breakthrough of his consumed a full three thousand-plus Artistic Conception Origin Fragments!

After coming to his senses, Wang Jianqiang fell into deep thought.

It seems that if he wants to let Lingxi and the others all break through, the consumption will be even greater than imagined!

……

While Wang Jianqiang was absorbing the Artistic Conception Origin Fragments to break through.

Wen Tiansheng had already arrived outside Wang Jianqiang's residence.

For the entire day that followed.

Wen Tiansheng did nothing at all; he simply hid outside Wang Jianqiang's residence, focusing all his attention on keeping watch.

There is rarely any truth in the mouth of that brat Wang Jianqiang.

Although he had promised him not to go to the front lines, he would not easily believe it.

He kept watch outside Wang Jianqiang's residence for three consecutive days.

Seeing that Wang Jianqiang had not left his residence the entire time, it seemed he had truly given up the idea of heading to the front lines.

He let out a long sigh of relief.

Only then did he return to his own residence.

However, although he had returned to his residence, his Spirit Sense still shrouded the entire sect.

While this is not as secure as keeping watch in person, it is still effortless to monitor a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator.

Once Wang Jianqiang left his residence, he would be able to detect it immediately.

Two more days passed.

Having detected no unusual movements from Wang Jianqiang, and with nothing to do, he thought of Wen Ya and Long Er.

Over these years, because of the Sea Clan invasion.

His mind had been in a state of constant tension, and he had not paid attention to these two.

He did not know if their cultivation had fallen behind.

Thinking of this, he sent a message to Wen Ya.

After waiting for a while, he received no reply.

He raised his eyebrows.

He then sent a message to Long Er.

After waiting for a while longer, there was still not the slightest message returned.

His heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose within him.

Every time Wen Ya and Long Er received his messages, they would reply immediately.

If one were to say they were at a critical juncture of cultivation and didn't notice...

It couldn't be that both of them were at a critical juncture of cultivation at the same time, could it?

That would be far too coincidental.

As for leaving the sect.

Every time the two left the sect, Wen Ya would send a message to report it to him.

He had not received any message from Wen Ya about leaving the sect.

Unless...

Immediately following this, as if he had thought of something, his expression changed.

With a thought, he sent a message to Wang Jianqiang.

Still, he received not the slightest response.

At this moment, the sense of foreboding in his heart had reached its limit.

He could no longer sit still.

His figure flashed, and he appeared outside Wang Jianqiang's residence.

Just as he was about to forcibly break the Restriction outside Wang Jianqiang's residence.

A streak of Spirit Light suddenly shot out from within the Restriction outside Wang Jianqiang's residence.

It transformed into the figure of Wang Jianqiang.

"Old brother, I have already left, don't miss me."

"By the way, Wen Ya and Long Er are both with me, so you don't need to worry."

After speaking, that figure formed from Spirit Light dissipated.

Wen Tiansheng's expression turned completely black.

That little punk was indeed lying to him before.

And not only did he run off himself, he even abducted Wen Ya and Long Er!

Damn it~

How did he evade his Spirit Sense coverage?

Could it be...

Xuan Ji?

Thinking of this, he felt a sudden realization.

Xuan Ji's cultivation has improved rapidly over these years, and now she is only one step away from the Great Vehicle Mid-Stage.

Their cultivation level is not below his.

It is not impossible to evade his Spirit Sense.

Thinking of this.

He felt a sense of relief in his heart.

With Xuan Ji following, the safety of Wang Jianqiang, Wen Ya, and Long Er can all be guaranteed.

He knew that Wang Jianqiang and the others must have gone to the front lines.

But now is not yet the time for him to head to the front lines.

His expression changed incessantly, and finally, he sighed and flew toward the direction of his residence.

"Forget it, let them be."
