Chapter 806 - 801: Wind Phase Sword Intent
"I haven’t read it yet. I want to wait until the war has settled, when things are quieter, to concentrate on studying it."
Bai Pu replied through voice transmission.
What he said was his true thought.
The swordsmanship manual given by Dongbo Chengzhi, after the "enlightenment" rewarded by the Spirit Realm Will’s golden side task, is already more valuable than Dark Gold Equipment!
Bai Pu feels that his Four Elemental Mystical Arts have already been refined to Top Grade Mystical Arts, and the next step is to condense True Intent Prototype. He should first comprehend a "Special System" Mystical Arts. It would be somewhat wasteful to use Dongbo Chengzhi’s swordsmanship manual now.
This swordsmanship manual, Bai Pu plans to save it for when he’s condensing the True Intent Prototype. It might provide a powerful boost.
"Your serious attitude towards the swordsmanship manual is commendable, but there’s no need to wait until the war ends to study it."
Dongbo Chengzhi replied through voice transmission:
"Realm of Myriad Existences requires combining multiple Mystical Arts. That manual is divided into three parts. The first part is about my personal experience creating secret swords, including the Dancing Wind Mystical Arts and various techniques from the Dancing Wind Secret Sword Art;
"The second part records the Space Mystical Arts I comprehended after receiving the ancestral memories of the White Dragon Fang, also part of the foundational Chapters;
"The third part is my spiritual imprint left after peeking into the ’Ten Thousand Things in Nature’ swordsmanship realm, which I call ’Wind Phase Sword Intent,’ and is considered the most difficult Chapter. You can start with the first two foundational Chapters and leave the third part for slow comprehension later."
This was the first time Dongbo Chengzhi revealed his True Intent Prototype, which turns out to be a True Intent Prototype condensed from both Wind and Space systems, which the Awakened might call a "Wind Phase True Intent Prototype."
It was also Bai Pu’s first time seeing a powerful Native put such effort into advising about a task reward that has already been given out.
This was thanks to the close friendship between Bai Pu and Dongbo Chengzhi.
In a moment, Bai Pu really wanted to tell Dongbo Chengzhi the secrets of the World Mystery, and bring this close friend out of Spirit Realm’s cycle.
Yet Bai Pu couldn’t do it. He simply didn’t have the ability.
Unless Bai Pu tricked Dongbo Chengzhi into using Pure Blood... with Dongbo Chengzhi’s trust in him, the chances of success might be high, but Bai Pu would never do such a thing.
"I understand. I’ll start delving into the first two parts of your swordsmanship manual immediately... Thank you, Dongbo." Bai Pu pushed aside those chaotic thoughts and agreed.
Dongbo Chengzhi showed a slight smile and said, "No need for thanks between you and me. Since you’re looking to regain peak strength through swordsmanship realm cultivation, I’ll naturally do my utmost to help you."
The two sat cross-legged at the front of the Arrow Boat, ending their voice chat and began their individual cultivation.
Dongbo Chengzhi was still holding the White Dragon Fang, while Bai Pu took out the swordsmanship manual that glowed with a purple light, and they successively entered the state of enlightenment.
Behind them, Rein, Salacia, and others exchanged looks.
The three of them secretly envied Bai Pu’s intimate relationship with the World Protagonist, thriving in the Heart Demon World.
Salacia watched the two handsome men close together, a silly smile unknowingly appearing on her face.
For a moment, she didn’t dare approach to speak, feeling that her plainness would tarnish their attractive aura.
...
While Bai Pu led people in a battle against Bron’s Red Race Team.
On the Turtle Ship.
The "Elder" of the Star-Picking Tower, Mount Tai, respectfully exited a high-level cabin room.
This was the room of Beiming Chuan, the brother of the Turtle Ship’s Chief Steward, Beiming Jihu!
Upon entering, Mount Tai presented a gift box.
When he finished paying his respects and left, Mount Tai accidentally "forgot" the gift box in Beiming Chuan’s room.
As he reached the stairway on the same floor, the corners of his mouth already curled into an uncontrollable smile.
"Lord Dragon King! I fulfilled the mission and finally persuaded Beiming Chuan to reveal important intel. The target of the ’surprise attack on the Shadow Island Chain’ war is the ’Spider Demon Cave’ at the very north of the Shadow Island Chain!"
Upon meeting the Dragon King, Mount Tai quickly sought to take credit.
However, the Dragon King frowned slightly, showing a trace of disappointment.
"Why is it... what’s wrong? Why is Lord Dragon King unhappy?" Mount Tai asked in confusion.
Beside him, Beifeng Elder coldly said, "Mount Tai Elder, you were deceived by Beiming Chuan. The Spider Demon Cave is just a diversion target, launched as a smoke screen by the Beiming Xuanjing Style."
"This... how could it be possible?"
Mount Tai recalled that when he asked Beiming Chuan about the attack target, the latter had a mischievous expression on his face.
At the time, he didn’t interpret the subtle expression, only thinking the process was unexpectedly smooth.
Now thinking back, how could Mount Tai not understand?
Instantly, he was furious!
"That old bastard, after taking ten Gold Bars from me, actually gave me false information!"
The Dragon King spoke calmly, "This isn’t your fault, Mount Tai. Anyone from our team looking for Beiming Chuan probably would have ended up with the same result... this implies Beiming Chuan is also wary and hostile towards us, likely influenced by Beiming Jihu’s cold attitude. This is definitely not good news."
"But... if we can’t find out the real war target, we won’t be able to execute the plan to ambush Gangxin!"
Mount Tai understood the importance of ambushing Gangxin too well.
He had already bound himself with the [Sealing Box of Chain Fate], specifying the Immortal King set as the "Object of Destiny Sealing!"
As long as he participated in killing Gangxin, the opponent was bound to drop the Bloody Key, from which Mount Tai could forcibly extract four pieces of the Immortal King set from Gangxin’s body.
The Sealing Box was bestowed by "the powers above."
Because they were determined to obtain the Immortal King set pieces, which were a very important "key."
Beifeng Elder shook his big head, "No worries, Mount Tai Elder, Beiming Chuan is an old fox, not easily fooled. Just now, I’ve extracted the true target of the attack from another True Disciple of the Beiming Xuanjing Style."
"Where is it?" Mount Tai perked up.
"Profound Water Palace!"
...
Two days later, within the Shadow Island Chain, on a secluded island.
Four people sat around.
"Profound Water Palace..."
Bron, who sat in the main seat, contemplated this name.
His body was massive and imposing, appearing to have shaken off the shadow of massive defeat from the Broken Island Reef.
And before him were three team leaders!
The first to his left was a handsome, blond man in light armor, codenamed "Judgement," a genius from the Holy Covenant Organization, Alvarez.
Across sat a stocky, short man, about half the average height, as sturdy as a stone, covered in impermeable silver armor. This was the Gray Race genius "Tito."
The Gray Race, also known as Gray Dwarves or Cave Dwellers, originates from the mother planet "Boto," which is why they are fully called "Boto Gray People," similar to "Yazd Red Race," both are major human race branches.
On the first right seat sat a Green Race girl, pure like a little white flower, invoking feelings of pity. She is Julian Silverwind, the prospective heir of the Green Alliance Silver Wind Clan, codenamed "Silver Rose."
"What do you all think?"
