Chapter 655: Chapter 297: On the Importance of Tactical Maneuvers_2

Cloak Jialino’s body gradually became transparent and quietly stood within the twelve stone pillars.

The palace emitted a shallow wave of light, and the surrounding figures’ eyes turned vacant, and then they returned to their respective dwellings, restarting their daily routines.

"We’re just leaving like this? Aren’t you going to hit it with some of that black energy of yours?"

No.5 turned back to look at the Jile Sky below.

Wang Jixuan motioned for her to be silent, suggesting they discuss it once outside.

...

Wang Jixuan’s soul and No.5’s mind body left the Pillar Blade Beast together.

Above them was a thick layer of gray clouds, consisting of billions of confused deceased souls.

The two transformed into human forms, discussing their next steps.

"It’s playing us."

Wang Jixuan said somewhat helplessly:

"Initially, I thought I could fool it, but unexpectedly, not only did it not fall for it, but it also tried to fool me... This guy is completely different from a normal Galino, it’s more like a Spirit Cultivator."

"It devoured Isar from the War God Council Court, that was a remarkably accomplished fellow."

No.5 clenched her little fist, her pretty face full of anger:

"They! They completely deceived us!

"Those three old bastards knew about the Blade Beast’s issue from the start, they even had an agreement, while we, the Spirit Cultivators outside the Bright Council Court, became their playthings!"

"I want to take them on!"

Wang Jixuan quickly advised, "Calm down, if you go looking for those three Spirit Cultivators now, you’re falling into the Blade Beast’s trap, the Blade Beast also wants to use you to strike the Bright Council Court."

"I’m so angry!"

"It seems, we can only let Lao Fu continue to suppress it."

Wang Jixuan looked up at the gray clouds above, feeling a bit troubled inside.

Burning so many souls directly?

If they could find the Underworld, what a great merit that would be!

Even if the merit and karma were unseen and intangible, there’s even a chance this planet isn’t under the jurisdiction of their Cultivation World’s corresponding Immortal Realm...

But doing a bit of good always brings comfort to the heart.

Truly igniting them with True Fire to let them wholly liberate?

Wang Jixuan gazed for a long time, beginning to recall the mantra of ’Soul Burning True Flame,’ not knowing how long this great fire would burn, but it’s better than letting them be absorbed again by the Jile Sky within the Pillar Blade Beast and suffer in the Sea of Vengeful Souls.

Wang Jixuan was just about to take action...

"Wang Zheng," No.5 suddenly asked, "what do you feel about this Jile Sky?"

"Feel? Like how?"

"When we were inside, it felt like a real world."

No.5 crossed her arms, mumbling constantly:

"But after we left, it felt very illusory.

"That Galino might be the consciousness of the entire city, the consciousness born from the Jile Sky itself, logically speaking, it should have been able to directly mobilize the energy of the entire city, becoming an invincible God in this illusory world.

"But it couldn’t do that, and when we fought it, we could even easily gain the upper hand, although it did continually draw in strength, fighting it in there would just drain us to death."

"Hmm?" Wang Jixuan wondered, "Did you discover something?"

"Can’t say clearly," No.5 looked down at the patch of Magma Lake on the Pillar Blade Beast’s back, softly saying, "I’m wondering whether the one who communicated with us just now was truly the main consciousness of the Pillar Blade Beast."

"You’ve indeed reminded me," the Daoist stroked his chin, "this Galino we communicated with was too calm, but the previous Pillar Blade Beast was easily stirred by the Core Circuit in my hand."

Jile Sky;

Eternal Divine Country;

A dwelling constructed by the Spirit Cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan, where they proclaimed themselves gods within this small divine nation, desiring eternal life, while sending the Pillar Blade Beast to hunt other ordinary life forms outside to maintain the operation of this divine country.

Wrong, some things seem to be mistaken.

Wang Jixuan’s expression suddenly turned very serious.

There were a few known pieces of information that he had overlooked.

After he used the Ghost Gate Secret Technique to bring forth the Sea of Vengeful Souls, the recovery ability of the Pillar Blade Beast significantly weakened...

The realization of the Soul Illusion Realm should be based on Spiritual Power, that is, Spiritual Energy.

The absorbed souls were merely nourishment, enabling the ’Divine King’ within the illusion realm to draw vitality, and also enhance the combat power of the Pillar Blade Beast.

Blade Beast mining must primarily focus on collecting Spiritual Energy.

Those, the glowing discs once discovered in the Young King Worm Nest, have yet to be deciphered, and they seem to be key to the growth of the Blade Beasts.

Images floated through Wang Jixuan’s mind.

He continuously searched, continuously pondered, weaving back and forth...

Hmm?

Wang Jixuan looked up, why not ask these victims.

The Daoist suddenly extended his hand, summoning faint lights from beneath the gray clouds. Several nearly transparent, uniform-clad figures appeared before him.

Their uniforms were distinctly different from the current human military uniforms, and the numbers on them belonged to military units disbanded decades ago.

They had been dead for a long time, having perished in the war with the Blade Beasts.

The fact that they could respond to Wang Jixuan’s call indicated they had a basic level of consciousness.

Master Wang saluted and communicated with these Military Souls directly through mind transmission, quickly gaining new insights.

No. 5 patiently waited on the side. When these souls returned to the gray clouds above, she asked, "What happened?"

"Almost got deceived."

The Daoist looked down and quickly said,

"These souls told me they were in extreme pain before. According to their description, every moment felt like their blood was being drained, and they were keenly aware that they had become part of the Pillar Blade Beast."

"That Galino is certainly not the main consciousness of the Pillar Blade Beast.

"Or rather, the Pillar Blade Beast does not have an independent consciousness. It follows commands and launches attacks. The command issuer is supposed to be the ’Divine King’ within Jile Sky.

"It has now been replaced by the Galino that killed the old god.

"The betrayal of the Pillar Blade Beast originated from Galino. That’s not wrong. Do you remember? The great hall was enclosed by a layer of light membrane, and that Galino guarded outside the hall, being able to move in and out freely. When negotiating with us, it even put on a cloak.

"Then?" No. 5 asked puzzledly, "Understanding all this, can we kill this Pillar Blade Beast?"

"No, we cannot."

The Daoist also seemed a bit disheartened:

"After all the effort, we’ve returned to the previous problem. There are only two ways to kill this Blade Beast, either smash its body or destroy the entire Jile Sky. Given our current Soul Power level... smashing its body seems simpler."

No. 5 sighed, "Don’t be too discouraged; you’ve already done a fantastic job."

"It’s a good thing this didn’t come from my dear Lingtong."

The Daoist joked bitterly.

With limited power, they could only temporarily declare their abandonment.

Let’s send these souls off.

In Wang Jixuan’s palm a flame blossomed, his heart filled with reluctance, he transmitted towards the heavens: "Everyone! Hear my words!"

Many souls looked down.

Wang Jixuan’s Dao Heart felt a little stifled.

In the distance, within the Super Large Mecha, Fu Jian also looked this way, as if he too heard Wang Jixuan’s call.

Further away, Spiritual Ability Users were blocked from the Pillar Blade Beast’s battle range, leisurely observing the events, waiting for their turn to act and proclaim the greatness of the Spiritual Ability Users.

But Wang Jixuan, at this moment, had to send these human Heroic Spirits off.

He transmitted with a bitter smile: "There is no Yama Hall in this world, nor have we seen the Reincarnation Road. You are souls, your bodies are dead; if left unchecked, you will only become Vengeful Spirits, affecting the living. I am Wang Zheng. If you have any grudges, please come to me alone. Today, I send you to liberation!"

Having said that, the Daoist’s Alien Soul caused the flame in his palm to grow larger, ready to be cast upward... the gray clouds...

Eh?

The Daoist’s action suddenly paused.

No Yama Hall;

No Reincarnation Road;

Yama Hall, Reincarnation Road... Jile Sky, Eternal Divine Country...

Wang Jixuan abruptly turned around, looking down at the Pillar Blade Beast, as if seeing through its shell to the Illusion Realm below.

"What the hell..."

Wang Jixuan was suddenly awestruck by the fleeting spirit light that flashed through his mind.

What would happen if this Jile Sky were turned into a small Underworld?

Wang Jixuan’s Alien Soul’s hand trembled, his lips went from tightly pursed to slightly parted, then turned into a sly smile, revealing a rather ’cunning’ arc.

Brilliant!
