Global Evolution: I Transplanted the Supreme Divine Heart

Bai Pu inwardly exclaimed that things were not going well.

Beiming Jihu was a sword fanatic. Could it be that he was excited to see such a challenge and wanted to spar with him?

The problem was, Bai Pu came to the Eternal Night Dark Sea for serious business, and the Awakened’s stay was also limited, so how could he spend efforts on meaningless things?

Even if refining the Mystical Arts, it would require the insights of the Mystical Arts as mission rewards. Such face-to-face sparring might not yield any progress even after ten days.

If Beiming Jihu enjoyed the fight too much and dragged Bai Pu to practice daily, would there still be time for business?

Before Bai Pu could think of how to respond, Dongbo Chengzhi nodded with a smile, "Indeed, this is what Gangxin did in front of the Cyan Dragon Phantom, which I also witnessed with my own eyes."

Beiming Jihu, who was already sitting upright, suddenly leaned forward: "I also heard that you killed the Red Emperor at the Great Wilderness River?"

Dongbo Chengzhi smiled and nodded: "Indeed, I witnessed this as well. The power that Gangxin erupted at that time was truly something I’ve never seen in my life."

Bai Pu: "..."

Beiming Jihu’s carrot-thick fingers rubbed together, his eyes filled with excitement yet tinged with questioning and scrutiny, staring at Bai Pu:

"I heard in Basalt that you killed the Red Emperor, and I was puzzled at the time. When I first saw you, you were just a weak Wild Warrior, with swordsmanship not even at an entry-level. Could it really be possible to progress so rapidly in merely one or two years?

"Coming to the Underworld, I again heard about you breaking the Cyan Emperor’s Barrier, causing great changes to the terrain of the entire Corruption Forest... I became even more curious.

"Is it truly deserved, or just a lucky coincidence?"

Beiming Jihu’s majestic body stood up, bringing an increasing sense of oppression to the two who were sitting:

"With questions in the heart, draw the sword and ask the Lord! Gangxin, fight me! I will wager the honor of being the strongest swordsman among humans... If I lose, I, Beiming Jihu, am willing to call you the strongest!"

Beiming Jihu’s fighting spirit was as substantial as reality.

Bai Pu instantly realized that Beiming Jihu’s mental realm might have already reached the threshold of the "Ten Thousand Things in Nature," which is the level of the True Intent Prototype.

After all, back in the low-level plane "Heart Demon: Oath," when Beiming Jihu was just Level 4, his level of swordsmanship had already reached Ascending the Hall, aspiring for the realm of Ten Thousand Things in Nature.

As for surpassing the True Intent Prototype and reaching the True Intent First Heaven...that’s basically impossible. The True Intent First Heaven is a level of mental realm possessed by Evolvers.

Even so, Beiming Jihu reaching the level of True Intent Prototype was already astonishingly remarkable because natives are all numerical monsters, and for Beiming Jihu to be the strongest among them, and even become a "mechanics monster!"

He could probably even fight against the true form of the Demon Emperor.

Dongbo Chengzhi quickly said, "Lord Beiming Jihu, if it’s just a sparring till the point, Gangxin naturally has no reason to refuse."

"Till the point? What nonsense, without the great terror of life and death, how can you ask the sword to resolve questions in your heart?"

Beiming Jihu said in a deep voice, "Dongbo Chengzhi, after the fight with Gangxin, if I am still alive, I also need to challenge you! I heard you have retrieved the divine weapon of the Ancestor of the Cyan Dragon Oath and made great progress."

"Lord Beiming Jihu, now faced with a great enemy, why do this?"

Dongbo Chengzhi said helplessly, "The three of us are basically the strongest swordsmen in this expedition to the Underworld. If we kill each other, no one will be able to subdue the return of the Great Dark Heaven! Then you and I will both be sinners."

Beiming Jihu shook his head, his hair like dry grass, resembling an angry lion: "Dongbo Chengzhi, you still don’t understand me! My highest goal in life is to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship as a mortal. You two are the best whetstones. This battle, no one dares to stop it, and no one is able to stop it!"

Bai Pu instead laughed: "Lord Beiming Jihu, we respect your life goals, but please also respect our requests."

"Your requests?"

"Yes, our request is to unite the power of the Guardian Camp to prevent the resurrection of the Great Dark Heaven."

Bai Pu said faintly, "If you insist on a life-and-death battle with me...then don’t blame Dongbo and me for being unprincipled, teaming up against you. See if two against one can stimulate your potential to reach the highest realm of swordsmanship?"

Beiming Jihu turned angry: "How can you be so insincere about the Sword Dao?"

"I have a compromise."

Bai Pu first used the threat of being unprincipled to prevent Beiming Jihu from going insane, then said:

"We can find some Demon Control Masters with strong spirits to link our spirits together and fight in the Spiritual World. Even if we die in the Spiritual World, we won’t die in the real world."

In the Original Sin World, the fathers and bishops of the Thorn Church united to communicate with the spirit, creating a Spiritual World for Thorn Cultists to experience suffering.

The Original Sin World and the Heart Demon World belong to different Plane Worlds, with different combat systems.

The Original Sin World calls the energy of Martial Artists the Holy Steel Power and the energy of Casters the Holy Wave Power; meanwhile, the Heart Demon World calls the energy of Ghost Warriors and Demon Control Masters collectively Spiritual Power.

In fact, it’s just different names and focuses; many of the essential things are interconnected.

In the Heart Demon World, Demon Control Masters also cultivate Spiritual Power, focusing on controlling demons, while also inscribing spells and arranging arrays in combat, considered a combination of the Summoning System and the Spell System.

For fighting through Spiritual World connectivity, Beiming Jihu and Dongbo Chengzhi are not unfamiliar. Sometimes, when the secret swordsmanship mystical arts are passed down in family dojos, this method is also used.

However, the strength of the Spiritual World is limited by the strength of the Spiritual Power of the Demon Control Masters constructing it.

The duel between Bai Pu and Beiming Jihu, these two peak swordsmen, requires a battlefield in the Spiritual World that an ordinary Demon Control Master could never sustain and construct.

Hearing Bai Pu’s proposal, Dongbo Chengzhi immediately chimed in agreement: "Gangxin is absolutely right. As long as we meet with the Xiyuan Clan’s expedition team and see senior Xiyuan Zhang, we should be able to gather several Demon Control Masters with strong Spiritual Power."

"Fighting in the Spiritual World is too different from the real physical fight..."

Beiming Jihu was dissatisfied, "Without the pressure of life-and-death terror and the sharpening of an evenly matched opponent, it’s very difficult to break through the swordsmanship realm."

"If it’s a real physical fight you want, it can happen, but it must wait until after the Black Heaven Festival," Bai Pu said.

Dongbo Chengzhi continued to persuade, "That’s right, Lord Beiming Jihu. Please consider the fight in the Spiritual World as an appetizer, just to get a taste of it for now?"

Beiming Jihu glanced at Bai Pu, said nothing more, accepting their proposal by default.

Bai Pu knew this old fellow wouldn’t be easily satisfied, but the threat of Dongbo and him teaming up against him should keep him in line.

It’s not that Beiming Jihu fears losing in a two-against-one fight, but that in such a scenario, it lacks the "tempering of an evenly matched opponent and mindset". For Beiming Jihu, a life-and-death battle that doesn’t sharpen oneself is not something worth pursuing.

"Speaking of which... Lord Beiming Jihu, the origins of those Wild Warriors under your command seem a bit suspicious. Dongbo, what do you think?"

Returning the conversation to the main topic, Bai Pu started to "sow discord".
