Just as Chen Yiming’s emotions were changing, the situation suddenly changed.
He clearly did not use his will projection, but a giant vaguely appeared in the world and frowned. The face of the giant became blurry, and the characteristics of its entire body were that its physique was clearly very strong.
At the same time, praises echoed between the sky and the earth. Thousands of human figures in armor knelt on one knee, like warriors preparing to go to war.
Gao Shuai was shocked and said, “Brother, you’re really something. You casually took care of a few mechanical life forms and obtained a large number of believers!”
“Believers?”
Chen Yiming instantly thought of the tricks that people in ancient times had used to trick others.
However, when civilization developed to a certain extent, very few people would really believe it. In the modern society on the blue planet, such behavior was called superstition.
The leader of the breaking dawn sorcerers heard this and was puzzled.
“Who exactly moved so quickly? Could it be those knights who have mastered a little supernatural power?”
A topic of cutting-edge research among the sorcerers was to intercept all kinds of strange items floating over from outer space around the planet.
Almost all the famous towers on the planet contained some remains of unknown creatures from outer space.
There were sorcerers who had risked their lives to study the remains of these creatures and tried to communicate with them.
Sudden death, spiritual corruption, transformation into a deformed body, and so on were the majority of the outcomes. However, there were also successful cases where one received a response and was bestowed with the power of a different system.
Successful examples like this often came from people who claimed to be believers of someone and spread their faith to others. However, there had never been a situation where a large number of people responded like this.
Due to the fact that there were many sorcerers and creatures from other species who had extraordinary power, as well as the existence of two god-like existences, believers had always been a niche group on this planet.
At this moment, the image of the giant in the sky was still there, and its influence was increasing. It was as if the power of this world had been stripped away, and the will of the world had become controlled by the giant.
Gao Shuai continued, “There’s actually nothing special about having believers. First of all, you have to reach the level of a god, which is to create an inner world in your body.”
“Then, a statue needs to be erected. Living creatures will pray to the statue from the bottom of their hearts. They will quickly become believers and establish an invisible connection with you.”
“In addition, believers can provide the power of faith through invisible threads. Even if they are far away in space, you can still receive power from their faith in you.”
“Believing in God is also a type of cultivation system. However, there are many restrictions. The power of faith is not completely one’s own power, so it’s not the mainstream cultivation method.”
Chen Yiming nodded.
It seemed that the reason for the increase in Skill Points was because the power of faith had been absorbed and used by the system.
On the other hand, the reason why there were no believers on the blue planet was probably because of the technological advancements. The many years of education had led to the emphasis on science and the rejection of superstitions.
Even those who admired a human would only treat him as a teacher on the path of martial arts, not as a god.
He looked at the group of sorcerers in front of him again. If they could provide a large amount of power of faith, it would naturally be worth taking a second look at. However, it seemed that these sorcerers were not the ones who had established such a connection with him.
“You say such pretty words, but it turns out that you’re just a group of fake believers,”
Chen Yiming muttered.
“The power of faith can’t be faked. Your image and style are more compatible with the knights’ cultivation system on this planet, not the sorcerers’ cultivation system.”
As soon as Gao Shuai finished speaking, he reminded him,
“Unless you plan to become a symbol for their faith, you have to use the power of faith carefully. It’s usually only used to temper your spiritual will, not to truly absorb it.”
Chen Yiming understood.
Naturally, he would not really absorb it. This power did not completely belong to him, and the one that could truly absorb and make use of was the system. This was the same as absorbing essence energy.
Soon, the two of them mercilessly sent the group of sorcerers away. No matter how the leader of the breaking dawn sorcerers promised that he would pray every day to establish his faith, they ignored him.
The sorcerers studied the truth, and their cultivation philosophy was suitable for becoming believers. This was something they could not change just because they wanted to.
…
Under the ground,
Chen Yiming and Gao Shuai arrived in front of a world stone.
The hiding place of the star spirit was in this world stone.
At this moment, the world stone, the sorcerer god, and the Heaven Devouring Divine Bird were each nailed to the air by five black nails, unable to move.
Around them was a scorching environment where lava spewed out from time to time. Even if ordinary creatures knew that the star spirit could no longer resist, they would not be able to come to the world stone.
“So we came neither too early nor too late. It just so happened that at that time, the three mechanical life forms were about to get rid of the strongest people on this planet.”
Chen Yiming was in a good mood and smiled.
Seeing the world stone in front of him was like seeing countless Skill Points. His time spent here had not been wasted. The problem now was how much essence energy was stored in the world stone.
Gao Shuai also smiled and said, “Three sets of sealing items and two captives at the level of the gods that can be sold for money. After dealing with them, we can probably exchange them for two units of essence energy.”
Chen Yiming turned around and asked, “Are god-level captives that valuable?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sorcerer god and the Heaven Devouring Divine Bird turned from looking forward to being saved to glaring at them. The world stone also started to struggle violently, and the scene of the apocalypse was simultaneously projected from the world’s core.
No one wanted to lose their freedom, let alone a star spirit with a high status. The other two were gods with supreme power on this planet.
Gao Shuai ignored the reaction from the world’s core and said, “In reality, the value is more than just two units of essence energy. It’s just that we don’t have the means to control the gods at the level of the star condensation realm.”
“Moreover, on the surface, the various galaxies prohibit the trading of god-level captives. Coupled with the fact that middlemen are involved in the transactions, gods from ordinary living planets can only be exchanged for about 30% of their value in essence energy through the corresponding channels.”
30%?
In other words, 70% of it would be taken by others. What a scam.
Chen Yiming could feel that in some corner of the universe, there were powerful existences on the path of gods who could crush weak gods at will.
In the end, those at the star condensation realm were still too weak. In an ordinary world, they could control everything, but when they really entered the universe, they were not considered very powerful.
As for him, if he was arrested one day after he was defeated, because there were too many things about him that caught other’s attention, the outcome would probably not be good for him.
“Because of the matter with the true dragon’s corpse, even if I don’t get involved in it, there is still a certain amount of danger in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. I have to go to the abandoned world as soon as possible to increase my strength.”
Chen Yiming thought for a moment and made a decision.
It was better to rely on the system than on others. Both the female spirit in the ring and Gao Shuai, who was calling him brother, were both external forces.
They would leave him at some point.
Next, Gao Shuai began to extract the essence energy stored in the world stone.
He was using a syringe made of a special crystal. He extracted it syringe by syringe and stored it in the corresponding special crystal.
During the process, the world stone trembled, afraid that they would think it was not enough even after obtaining all of its essence energy and that they would take its life in the end.
After all, there was a ferocious person standing beside Gao Shuai. This ferocious person had a dark history of killing five star spirits. He was on the blacklist of the star alliance and was a target being pursued.
Of course, there were many people on the blacklist who were being pursued. From the looks of it, this ferocious person was also the type who would always remain on the blacklist.
…
“Swish!”
A spaceship moved quickly through the dark space.
The spaceship had already returned to the Hidden Dragon Galaxy, but they did not encounter any more ambushes. It was as if the matter on the Flying Cloud Planet had been resolved just like that.
Chen Yiming sat cross-legged in a private cabin.
He suddenly opened his eyes. Under the interference of his will, a small piece of space in front of him became strange. It was as if the fog in space was about to be lifted, revealing the essence of the space behind it.
Chen Yiming
Talent: Undying Body — Level 6, Giant — Level 5, Space Anchor — Level 4
Level: Star Condensation Realm
Physique: Advanced Undying Giant Body
Sword Spirit
Talent: Swordsmanship — Level 7
Level: Star Condensation Realm
Physique: Advanced Sword Body
Skill Points: 973,583
“The spiritual figure has also broken through to the star condensation realm. My overall spiritual will has undergone a qualitative change. My body and mind were originally one, so this time, I’m completely at the star condensation realm.”
The essence energy he had obtained from this trip had been converted into Skill Points, allowing him to upgrade his Space Anchor talent to Level 4. The range of his super perceptive state had increased by 10 times, and he had one more space anchor.
After upgrading his swordsmanship talent to Level 7, he felt that the projection of his will could crush opponents at the level of the star condensation realm who did not have a special physique.
It was equivalent to a suppression of both the body and mind. It would forever far exceed the combat strength of those of the same level, and he could easily fight enemies of a higher level.
After his spiritual power was further enhanced, he was not afraid of any strange tricks.
Now that his spiritual resistance had also undergone a qualitative change, the characteristics of his physique were becoming more and more obvious. Even enemies two realms higher would find it difficult to completely kill him, and his ability to survive had increased again.
After using his Skill Points to level up, Chen Yiming stood up and opened the door.
In the hall of the flying spaceship, Gao Shuai was sitting cross-legged. The old butler was using the essence energy to cleanse his body, continuously removing the impurities in his body.
This fellow was much more extravagant than Chen Yiming. This was an extremely inefficient and primitive way of using the essence energy. The shockingly valuable essence energy was being wasted just like that.
Gao Shuai had briefly told Chen Yiming that his goal in collecting a large amount of essence energy was to use it to set up various special formations during the fight for the true dragon’s corpse. It was equivalent to using external forces to increase his strength.
The second was to prepare to condense his inner world and break through to the star condensation realm.
The strength of the inner world was related to one’s spiritual will and physique. It was laying the foundation for one’s cultivation.
Gao Shuai had a prophetic ability, so his spiritual talent was naturally top-notch. What he lacked was physical talent.
If he did not build a good foundation, it would be difficult for him to break through to the next level. It could even be said that breaking through to the star condensation realm was the end of his cultivation journey. The quality of the inner world would not be good enough for him to break through further.
In addition, essence energy was an extremely pure form of energy. Gao Shuai’s clan had spent a lot of effort to obtain a cultivation technique that could help him cleanse his body.
This technique was very powerful. It could purify the impurities in one’s body bit by bit under the control of one’s own will, enhancing the traces of dragon bloodline that all the native creatures in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy had.
Gao Shuai’s ultimate goal was to make use of the true dragon’s corpse to use the dragon bloodline in his body and transform several times at once to make up for the shortcomings in his physical talent.
After that, when Gao Shuai broke through to the star condensation realm, not only would he have a special prophecy ability, but he would also have the combat strength of a genius, or even surpass one.
Not long after.
The old butler took a deep breath and took a few steps back.
The essence energy obtained on this trip had been squandered away by Gao Shuai just like that. Even with his enhanced super perception, Chen Yiming didn’t sense any changes in Gao Shuai.
“This is too wasteful. I might as well use all the essence energy from now on. That way, we might have a higher chance of snatching the true dragon’s corpse.”
Of course, this was impossible to achieve.
Not to mention the fact that the two of them were essentially working together based on mutual interests, even biological brothers could not really trust each other when it came to such things.
The main reason was that Gao Shuai didn’t have much essence energy left. If there was enough for Chen Yiming to increase his cultivation by one or two levels at once, he might have to forcefully make a suggestion.
In any case, he had good intentions. He believed that Gao Shuai would understand his good intentions when he obtained the true dragon’s corpse.
Unfortunately, Gao Shuai also did not have that much essence energy. He basically used as much as he had. The plan to save a portion of it for setting up a special formation had actually not been started at all.
At this moment, Gao Shuai stretched and stood up. “The amount of essence energy I obtained this time was too little. If I had known earlier that there would be no change after bathing in it, I would have saved it instead.”
Then, he changed the topic and said, “Brother, have you used up all your essence energy? Why don’t I trade some treasures with you? Trade me the rest of your essence energy for now.”
“I felt that I was just short of breaking through the bottleneck and entering a new stage.”
Chen Yiming rolled his eyes and said calmly, “Just like you, I used up all of it.”
With that, he took out the crystal containing the essence energy and shook it. It was empty, and there was not even a trace of essence energy left.
Gao Shuai sighed.
It seemed that it would be very difficult to realize his idea of trading treasures for essence energy. Both of them had a timely need for essence energy, and there would not be any left unused.
If he wanted to obtain a large amount of essence energy, he could only wait until they reached the abandoned world.
The cabin was silent for a moment.
Gao Shuai changed the topic and said, “By the way, the return of the spaceship to the Hidden Dragon Galaxy can’t be hidden from the various people that were chasing after it previously.”
“If they don’t appear now, there’s a high chance that they have predicted our destination and are already waiting for us in the abandoned world.”
Chen Yiming nodded.
That was true. Unless the two of them left the Hidden Dragon Galaxy forever, it was impossible for them to let it go. The peace at this moment was just an illusion.
Gao Shuai continued, “If we don’t want to break through the layers of obstacles and take the risk of being stopped by the powerful elders before we enter the abandoned world, we can only choose to pass through dangerous places and restricted areas.”
Dangerous places?
Restricted areas?
It was said that the abandoned world was the most dangerous special world in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. The most direct danger was that it was connected to the spatial distortion everywhere.
The dangerous places and forbidden areas were places that could really kill a god. Only those who were courting death would dare to do such a thing.
However, the spatial distortion was a small problem for Chen Yiming. Gao Shuai should be able to avoid the dangers in the forbidden areas in advance. Overall, although it looked like they were courting death, the risk was not as high as one would think.
Soon, the two of them discussed and decided to do this. Otherwise, if they were ambushed by the powerful elders, they would waste a lot of time running away.
