Chapter 416: Knocking on the Door in the Middle of the Night!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing that his charisma had prompted Li Xiu to greet him so respectfully, Wang Baole felt that, other than being equipped with the quality of being the most handsome person in the Federation, he had other qualities that were worthy of being learned by others.

In his delight, he sent Li Xiu away and handed other miscellaneous matters over to several other mayors. He then went into seclusion to research the Heavenly Evocation step of Dharmic Armament refining.

He had thought about the insights gained in the research facility during his tour of the research facility previously. However, there were time constraints then. This time, he planned to completely master the Heavenly Evocation, and at the same time, he didn’t plan on neglecting his cultivation. He increasingly felt that he was close to reaching the perfected Foundation Establishment realm.

As for the refinement of his Intrinsic Dharmic Artifact, Wang Baole had always been on it. Now that he had completed the other tasks at hand, he meditated with his legs crossed and took out a red flying sword and a black saber. The moment he took the two Dharmic Armaments out, an astonishing suppressive force was given off. Previously, Wang Baole didn’t know of the source of the suppressive force and had thought that it belonged to the viciousness of the Artifact Spirit.

However, right now, after understanding the Heavenly Evocation, Wang Baole was extremely clear that the Dharmic Armament was merely a carrier, and that was the same for the Artifact Spirit as well. The real suppressive force that emerged and made the force of the Dharmic Armament so astonishing originated from the so-called god that existed previously!

The so-called god is perhaps a ferocious beast or a has-been cultivator... Wang Baole was deep in thought. As he murmured, he felt for the two Dharmic Armaments once again. Vaguely, he seemed to be able to see the former figures of the two gods ruling heaven and earth.

Even though all of it was just Wang Baole’s imagination, he was very clear that he was on the right path now. Since it was difficult to imagine the will of the gods that had previously existed, the only way to achieve that was through the two Dharmic Armaments.

Therefore, with that sensation and thought, Wang Baole gradually allowed himself to blend together with the two Dharmic Armaments in order to seek the will that existed inside and find signs of its consciousness. He wanted to sense the will of the gods while in the space between heaven and earth, so as to call the others over.

This process was a slow and long one. Even though Wang Baole was aware of the right direction, he still needed time before truly mastering the Dharmic Armament’s Heavenly Evocation segment.

He was clear that he couldn’t rush through this matter. However, he was confident that as long as he carried on, it was just a matter of time before he succeeded. Therefore, as he meditated and gained insights, days flew by.

Three days passed quickly.

In those three days, Wang Baole set aside all other miscellaneous matters. As he immersed his heart and soul fully in gaining insights into the Dharmic Armaments, his consciousness seemed to be truly integrated with the Dharmic Armament. It was as if he had left Divine Armament New City and was now loitering in between the heavens and earth on Mars. As he loitered, he heard murmurs and seemed to have noticed some illusory figures, as well as felt the remnants of the consciousness of the gods that had once existed on Mars.

However, all of this was general and not detailed. Wang Baole had only managed to feel it briefly, and even though he had wanted to attract it, he was unable to accomplish it. It was as if he was transformed into a similar kind of consciousness, floating continuously under the laws of heaven and earth.

After an unknown period of time, as he loitered, Wang Baole’s body suddenly shook. He sensed the existence of a very strong consciousness that was on a scale that surpassed everything else a distance away!

This consciousness was strong like the sun and was like a bonfire compared to other forms of consciousness. Even though Wang Baole had only gently touched it, the ferocity of this consciousness was sufficient to make him tremble. At that moment, a loud shrill reverberated in his mind.

“Kill, kill, kill, kill!”

The screams that emerged from this consciousness were extremely ruthless, and its killing intent was so strong that it could destroy the heavens and earth. Wang Baole was unable to withstand it at all, and as he trembled, he spewed a mouthful of blood. He opened his eyes immediately, and even his breathing was extremely rapid. He quickly lifted his head, as if his vision could pass through the wall to look at the Mars firmament.

Which god did that consciousness belong to? Wang Baole took a deep breath, extremely shaken. He managed to calm down briefly after a long while, but as he recalled the madness and ferocity of that consciousness, he was still gripped with shock.

It should be the Heavenly Evocation stage that I reached just now, right? Or rather, was that the legendary fugue state that is similar to that in the Spirit Inception Era? Wang Baole wiped the perspiration off his forehead. He had qualms but also realized the danger of the Heavenly Evocation. At the same time, he was filled with curiosity and anticipation towards that deranged consciousness.

If I could attract it and create a carrier for it, then... my Dharmic Armament megaphone could possibly succeed! With that thought, Wang Baole was filled with hope. He thought that perhaps he had proceeded with the wrong step. He should first complete the carrier, as if setting a trap in place...

That’s not right. I am a master, and my intentions must be upright... what I’m creating is not a trap. I am trying to allow the gods that have passed to reappear, so that they could, to a certain extent, reincarnate! With that thought, Wang Baole instantly felt that he had a duty, and he was pleased with his realization.

With that satisfaction towards himself, Wang Baole ended his seclusion. Thoughts about the material needed to make the Dharmic Armament carrier darted around his mind. The material should have two aspects. Firstly, it must be a precious refinement material, and second, it should contain the Artifact Spirit.

Regardless of whether it was the first or second aspect, it wasn’t easy for Wang Baole to fulfill them despite him being the City Lord. As he thought about how to go about doing it, he suddenly grew alert and lifted his head to look at the door of the secret chamber.

The moment he turned to look, he seemed to have heard loud sounds of someone knocking on the door of the secret chamber. The voice that followed sounded urgent and even affected the simple array formation that he had set for his residence.

Why is she here? Wang Baole thought. Through the array formation of his residence, he could sense that it was his neighbor, Li Wan’er, that was outside his secret chamber.

It was now the wee hours of the night. It was pitch-black outside, and Li Wan’er’s sudden visit made Wang Baole frown. He thought about it as the knocking grew even more urgent. Li Wan’er had even sent a voice transmission to Wang Baole through the voice transmission ring. In that voice transmission, there was only one sentence...

“Help me...”

With that sentence, the knocking stopped suddenly. Through the array formation, Wang Baole saw that Li Wan’er, who was outside, had already fallen unconscious.

That shocked Wang Baole. He immediately stood up and stepped out of the secret chamber. With all his focus, he activated his cultivation and the two Dharmic Armaments. He even notified the Core Formation Dao guardians from the four Dao Colleges before opening the door of his residence.

Even though he didn’t sense any external threat the moment he opened the door, he still activated his two Dharmic Armaments, forming a suppressive force that swept the outside environment.

When he made sure that there was no danger, he suspiciously approached the unconscious Li Wan’er. Li Wan’er looked pale as she trembled. She had lost consciousness, and her lips were black.

She’s poisoned? Wang Baole was taken aback. He lowered his head and placed his hand on Li Wan’er’s forehead. The moment he touched her skin, his eyes widened and his breathing quickened, a look of disbelief on his face.

He didn’t hesitate and immediately carried Li Wan’er into his residence. At the same time, he notified the Core Formation elites from the four Dao Colleges to guard the outside environment. After that, he carried Li Wan’er into the secret chamber.

When he reached the secret chamber, he grew solemn, frowning as he looked at the unconscious Li Wan’er.

There is no Dark Qi coming from her body. However, it’s as if there’s a bottle filled with Dark Qi in her body, extremely chaotic and on the brink of breaking open at the slightest touch!

That was the reason Wang Baole was shocked. It was obvious that when he saw Li Wan’er previously, he didn’t sense any Dark Qi from her. Even now, he still couldn’t sense it just by looking at her. It was only when he touched her and released his Spirit Qi to take a detailed look in her body that he sensed it.

Why is she in this state? Could it be that she cultivated the Art of Longevity as well? However, even so, why is she different from others? Doubts arose in Wang Baole’s mind, but he didn’t hesitate. Li Wan’er was the Deputy City Lord, and even though there were conflicts between them, he couldn’t leave her to die—especially so considering the experiences they had been through together.

Therefore, he took a deep breath and raised his right hand, pressing it once again on Li Wan’er’s forehead. The devouring seed in his body instantly exploded, forming a suction force to absorb the Dark Qi in Li Wan’er’s body in order to remove the danger!
