Chapter 1868: Chapter 299: Leveraging Strength

First, lock onto the spirit using the soul, then attack with the Spirit Art. If it doesn’t hit, that’s fine. But if the divine sense happens to lock onto that individual...

Even if one isn’t sensible, the cold wind blowing during flight would make them rethink the situation.

First, a cold sweat forms, then goosebumps cover the body. Proceeding forward?

What a waste of effort!

Immediately retract your divine sense and make a hundred and eighty-degree turn. These slower-reacting cultivators flee home faster than before.

In scenes like this, some people are destined to have no place in participation and aren’t even qualified to watch.

In a wild place like Longzhou, most people are these unqualified individuals.

However, those people do not include Wuji Mansion and Yulin Pavilion.

Therefore, at the inception of this cosmic change, both forces dispatched masters leading teams heading towards Lingjiang Center.

Yulin Pavilion, located closer to Chaochang, had Lu Shaolin arrive faster than those from Wuji Mansion. But this renowned Yulin Pavilion master did not recklessly intrude into the vast misty area; he instead carefully sensed the outside before returning to Chaochang.

Yulin Pavilion upholds the right path of the world. If this person isn’t causing any public disaster, they truly have no reason to intervene.

Though this thousand-mile-long scene with extensive mist and surging energy is remarkable, for those skilled at leveraging strength, it’s just another case. Given enough time and several array masters cooperating, Lu Shaolin could create a similar scene.

Things he can replicate himself are ultimately hard to revere, which is why masters of various disciplines often appear arrogant to their peers.

After all, what is acclaimed as a masterpiece by contemporaries may seem ordinary to a master.

If you insist on me praising it, how should I? Being able to clap is already a significant psychological construction.

So, upon returning to Yulin Pavilion, Lu Shaolin paid respects to Pavilion Master Lu Chen and reported the scene he witnessed at Lingjiang.

Pavilion Master Lu Chen pondered for a moment and then instructed Lu Shaolin, "If this event succeeds, on my behalf, send a congratulatory gift to Red Cloud Mountain, congratulating the new king of Red Cloud on his establishment."

"Does the Ancestor acknowledge this new Red Cloud King?"

Lu Shaolin was quite astonished. He knew well how ambitious their ancestor was, and didn’t expect him to congratulate a king of unknown origin.

"One makes mistakes in life. However, when high in rank and power, people prefer to cover up past errors. Regardless of this new king’s origin, if he can accomplish this, he deserves my acknowledgment."

After saying this, Lu Chen looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing the border of the celestial realm, looking thousands of miles away.

As he gazed, a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Seeing the abnormal expression on his Saint Lord’s face, Lu Shaolin was curious as if being clawed by a cat but restrained the urge to ask.

After waiting about half a moment, Lu Chen withdrew his gaze from the mortal realm, smiling as he explained, "Caught a Gentle Wind and issued a decree, sending a three-thousand-mile cloud of thunder eastward toward Chuanyuan Town, quite an impressive feat!"

"You mean that new king..."

Lu Shaolin was a bit surprised, "This indeed is an extraordinary method."

"Let’s see."

Lu Chen chuckled, "A three-thousand-mile cloud of thunder is a different weight of existence when in sight compared to when it’s thousands of miles away."

One has to admit that at the Saint level, cultivators rarely pay attention to Xiehe.

Because for these figures, everything in Xiehe is too mundane, even so-called natural disasters are not magnificent in the presence of a Saint.

But today’s Human King’s performance intrigued Lu Chen enough to want to watch further.

It wasn’t that he found the storm-turning technique astonishing, but he wanted to see what kind of arrogant existence would dare to send a three-thousand-mile cloud of thunder eastward with just one decree.

Does he not fear that the thunderclouds halfway might defy orders and turn into a world-caliber catastrophe?

...

Humans make mistakes due to empiricism, representing human wisdom, and human narrowness.

The power of the Divine Eye is potent not just because of Tang Luo’s realm evolution, but also due to his sky-rocketing mental strength.

Since the fusion of the orb and human memory, Tang Luo has never worried about insufficient mental strength.

No matter if facing the Hundred Herbs Immortal King Jiang, King of Luyang, or Huanglong Immortal Monarch, he appears effortless, able to instantly immobilize a king-level entity with the Divine Eye at full power.

Such limitless mental strength leads Tang Luo to misjudge many situations. One such misjudgment is that, after becoming a human from an orb, his sense of distance became blurred, although initially he didn’t regard this as an issue.

After all, his eyesight is now unbelievably superior, and if he needs his light speed to mimic teleportation, distances are covered in just a few thoughts.

Under such circumstances, discussing distance becomes pointless because every corner of Xiehe feels close to him.

However, this lack of basic scale eventually brews a bitter wine, just like now, where Tang Luo misestimated the efficacy of the divine decree on the world.

Within a thousand-mile range, every inch of Primary Qi perfectly adheres to the divine decree, but as the distance gradually extends, this adherence becomes challenging.

At such times, Tang Luo had no choice but to intensify the output of the Divine Eye to strengthen his influence over the thunderclouds and Gentle Wind.

But in fact, this method isn’t smart at all. Had Tang Luo not misjudged his decree’s range, this current dilemma wouldn’t arise.

If this inconsiderate flaw didn’t exist, he wouldn’t brazenly split the covering rain clouds in half, naturally avoiding such rigidity.

But a king’s stature doesn’t dwell on hypotheticals and complaints.

Because all bad things contain opportunities, overly strong mental power, combined with the Divine Eye, makes Tang Luo’s research progress pleasing while also losing a lot of humility.

If you always accomplish with only thirty percent effort, you’d start to think you’re all-powerful.

Railing against heaven for lacking chains or the earth for lacking loops is indeed impressive, yet the fact remains that individual power has its limits. For instance, now Tang Luo feels the boundaries of his capabilities.

This laborious feeling didn’t make Tang Luo suffer, instead, it brought him some joy.

Because through this, he rediscovered reverence and humility towards nature, but more importantly, he redefined his position.

This feeling is truly exhilarating!

So if one’s strength isn’t sufficient, what to do? Naturally, seek rental from the heavens and earth.

Turning on the secret art of Great and Small Wishful Incantation, Heavenly and Earthly Qi surged into the king’s body.

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, dark, wind, thunder; all elements were welcomed.

Tang Luo’s form expanded dramatically, transforming into a giant several zhang high in an instant, growing taller with continuous intake of Primary Qi.

Thirty zhang, fifty zhang — the king’s body, forged with Void Energy, showcased perfect inclusivity and resilience at this moment.

Throughout history in Xiehe martial arts, warriors capable of encompassing such a quantity and variety of Primary Qi in their king’s body are no more than five fingers can count.

Looking again at Tang Luo’s Dharma Manifestation now, it’s unknown how many zhang high it stands, resembling a giant reaching to the sky, with the roaring waters of Lingjiang barely flooding its waistband.

Those Divine Eyes, under the immense support of Heavenly and Earthly Qi, turned into objects resembling golden wheels, so bright even the thousand-mile mist couldn’t obscure them.
