I Can See Your Combat Power

Chapter 1041: Chapter 335: Two Matters Chapter 1041: Chapter 335: Two Matters The so-called sacred lands were noble families from ancient times that aided the Human Race in exorcising demons and rising to power. In the darkest years of the Human Race, the sacred lands watched over and supported each other, forming deep bonds of friendship.

The presence of someone from the King Realm cannot be hidden. The descent of the Star Dharma Image from the southern heavens to the Northern Territory of Longzhou naturally alarmed both Martial Saint Mountain and Xuanji Sect.

Yet, what the two supreme sect masters could not have imagined was that the one who had caused such a stir was none other than Wang Fuling. And seeing Wang Chan, who had already lost consciousness within the Star God Pillar, the two probably understood why this invincible expert looked so troubled.

“Two matters,” Wang Fuling said indifferently to the two sect masters of the sacred lands, like a bad-tempered elder ordering around junior family members. “First, Chan’er was sneak attacked by Hook Chen, nearly shattering his physical body. I am not skilled in the art of healing, so I must ask you two to think of a solution.”

“The second matter concerns the Devil Lord Hook Chen, who was struck by my Four Spirits Divine Symbol before his physical body disintegrated. In theory, he should have turned to ashes by now. Yet the remnant spirit of the Four Spirits Divine Symbol still lingers with pity and has fallen into the Southern Boundary of Longzhou. I request the experts of Martial Saint Mountain to investigate this person’s whereabouts.”

Only someone of such high status as Wang Invincible could order around the masters of sacred lands like this. As descendants of the sacred lands who grew up on legends about Wang Invincible, they were reluctant to refuse.

Bu Jiu and Qing Wei exchanged glances, and with the latter putting away the red gourd, stepped forward and respectfully said, “Wang Chan’s physical body is already on the verge of disintegration, and it is beyond the help of medicine or healing stones. Based on my observations, not only are his external injuries severe, but there is also a life-threatening Spirit Seed within him. If it weren’t for the senior’s use of the power of the stars to stabilize his physical body, it would have likely shattered by now.”

Since ancient times, medicine and alchemy have always been linked, and the Daoist priests of the Xuanji Sect, with their skills in alchemy and medicine, have quite exceptional insights in the medical field. Qing Wei, a top master of the Xuanji Sect, might seem frivolous, but his profound knowledge enabled him to understand Wang Chan’s condition quite accurately with just one glance.

This prompted Wang Fuling to ask without delay, “Daoist Priest Qing Wei, do you have any method of healing him?”

The Daoist Priest with a rosacea nose dared not delay, approached the Star God Pillar, and after carefully examining the situation inside with Wang Chan, said with difficulty, “Unless the Spirit Seed is removed, any healing methods will be ineffective. As it stands, the only option is to find a way to preserve the physical body of the Saint Child Wang Chan until the Spirit Seed within him disappears or is digested before we can start the healing process.”

In contrast to Wang Fuling’s helplessness, Daoist Priest Qing Wei suggested an idea that seemed feasible. Wang Fuling asked with a heavy voice, “How can we preserve Chan’er’s physical body, and how long will it take for this Spirit Seed to disappear?”

“The Beimang Lingxiao Sect possesses a miraculous item, the Mysterious Nether Coffin, which is forged from divine materials nurtured in the hot springs of the Heavenly Pond. It contains ten thousand years of mysterious nether cold air. Whenever a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect is overtaken by external forces, the Mysterious Nether Coffin is used to prolong their life and stabilize their wounds. Furthermore, the waters of the Heavenly Pond’s hot springs are divine for nurturing physical bodies. The intermingling of ice and fire and the covert harmony of yin and yang—if we could borrow this Mysterious Nether Coffin, we might be able to transfer Wang Chan to the hot springs of the Heavenly Pond!”

After contemplating for a moment, Daoist Priest Qing Wei put forth an idea that seemed to have room for execution and added, “As for the Spirit Seed within the Saint Child, it will depend on his own fortune. If we wait for the Spirit Seed’s own Spiritual Power to exhaust itself, it might take a decade or eight years.”

“A decade?” Wang Fuling’s Star Dharma Image asked with a furrowed brow, “Is there a faster way?”

For the pride of the sacred lands, a decade signified a change of generations. Even now, Wang Chan was not the only prominent figure within the Wang Clan’s sacred land. Wang Tu and Wang Po were hot on his heels, and countless rising talents were covetously eyeing his position.

If the injury delayed him for ten years, Wang Chan’s name would be forgotten by everyone, just like those fallen prodigies. As a direct elder of Wang Chan, Wang Fuling naturally did not want to see his descendant meet such a woeful fate.

Had it been anyone else making such an insatiable inquiry, Qing Wei the Daoist Priest wouldn’t even bother to respond, but since the Dharma Aspect in question belonged to Wang Fuling of the Southern Wang Clan, the priest could only explain patiently, “The type of Spirit Seed within the Saint Child’s body is truly rare and the vigor it harbors is unheard of. Elder Wang must know that currently, spiritual cultivation is on the rise while physical cultivation is waning. It has been several centuries since a body-cultivating master skilled in both the hard and the soft appeared. To remove the Spirit Seed from within the Saint Child’s body, unless you can ask a body-cultivating master of such caliber to make a move, you would either need the person who implanted the Spirit Seed or wait for the Spirit Seed to naturally wither. Eight to ten years is already the most optimistic estimate!”

“I understand,” Wang Fuling nodded, then beseeched Qing Wei, “I must ask Daoist Priest to make a trip to Beimang’s Lingxiao Sect and relay a message to their sect master. I am willing to exchange several Earth Level secrets for the use of the Mysterious Nether Coffin and the warm sea of Heavenly Pond.”

“Please rest assured, Elder Wang,” Qing Wei nodded with a smile, “This Daoist has a close friendship with the elder of the Lingxiao Sect, Yang Kangzong. I will definitely be able to borrow the treasures and prolong the Saint Child’s life!”

“Then I’ll have to trouble Daoist Qing Wei!”

Qing Wei nodded to Wang Fuling and took off the gourd hanging from his waist. He popped the stopper and poured out a red cloud before drifting off to the north, disappearing from sight in mere moments.

After dealing with Wang Chan’s affairs, Wang Fuling turned to Bu Jiu and drew a small symbol with the power of the stars.

The purple star power, suffused with an inexplicable nobility, made the spiritual power solidify into a tangible talisman that flickered in Wang Fuling’s palm.

“This Spirit-Seeking Talisman and the Four Spirits Divine Symbol share the same origin of star power. The closer it gets to the Four Spirits Divine Symbol, the brighter this starlight will become. We are within the Longzhou Territory, and I would not typically overstep my bounds unless it is a matter of life-saving urgency. Since Martial Saint Mountain has already sent people, I will hand this Spirit-Seeking Talisman over to Martial Saint Mountain, along with the hook. However, Master Bu, as you have just heard, my descendant, Wang Chan, is suffering from the torment of a Spirit Seed. Should Martial Saint Mountain apprehend the hook, they must find a way to remove the Spirit Seed, for which I would be deeply grateful.”

With that, Wang Fuling handed the Spirit-Seeking Talisman to Bu Jiu, who respectfully accepted it and earnestly replied, “Thank you for your consideration, Elder Wang. My side will continue to pursue the hook’s whereabouts, and if any news arises, we will prioritize the welfare of your noble nephew’s injury!”

No sooner had Bu Jiu’s words fallen than he ascended with the wind, transforming into a giant Peng with golden wings, tearing apart the sky with a brilliant glow. In an instant, he traveled dozens of miles, leaving only a swathe of starlight in the heavens. Merely in terms of the Escape Technique, the foundational art of Dapeng Mountain was close to the pinnacle in this world.

Coming and going in haste, the Sacred Land Sect Masters from the Xuanji Sect and Martial Saint Mountain left Wang Fuling to continue guarding his descendant. Meanwhile, inside the Star God Pillar, Wang Chan still endured tremendous agony, with both his body and soul on the verge of tearing apart, a torment so great he wished for death.

…

Was it the city of freedom or a land of lawlessness? After being besieged several times, Xu Qingyue truly felt lost.

The people in Chaochang, why were they all so unreasonable!
