Chapter 98: The Altar Is Not Built in One Day

Intelligence Revenue Service Director w.a.n.g Lu took a deep breath.

The next moment, the weather began to change, and the wave violently surged up.

The dirty old man and Wu Feihua’s complexions drastically changed. Although their cultivations were not high—with low-grade spirit root and sensitivity to detect the surrounding spiritual energy no better than the Spirit Sword Sect newcomers… however, how could they not feel this like-a-stormy-sea change in the surrounding spiritual energy?

With a single breath, w.a.n.g Lu had sucked the surround spiritual energy within three hundred meters away from him! This happened partly because of the nature of his spirit root and partly relied on the array power. However… it encompa.s.sed the surrounding three hundred meters radius! Even a common Jindan Stage cultivator could not have such a wide spiritual energy field!

For the dirty old man, even if he tried his best to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, he could only affect the surrounding spiritual energy a few meters away from him!

Meanwhile, w.a.n.g Lu, who was in the middle of that stormy sea of spiritual energy, also felt the great pressure from this kind of frantic absorption; even his Qi Cultivation Stage breathing exercise was of little use. At this time, inside his Inner Mansion, a spiraling spiritual energy cycle had already formed. Based on his Void Spirit Root strong permeability, it was sufficient to handle the normal spiritual energy absorption speed rate. Although this kind of rampaging absorption has an astonis.h.i.+ng efficiency, it also injured his body. The like-gigantic-waves spiritual energy crashed into the external barrier of the Void Spirit Root and appeared inside the Inner Mansion in the form of platinum colored rain. However, the two hundred and six Sword Bones that supported it was under a huge pressure—these Non-Phase Sword Bones were the sole links between inside and outside, but they have limited capacity. When w.a.n.g Lu absorbed the spiritual energy with all his strength, the two hundred and six Sword Bones would be running at full capacity. However, at present, under the a.s.sistant of the array, it became overloaded. The low end of the Sword Bones continued to stream out golden liquids, however, the Jade Pillars themselves endlessly shook as if they were bracing for an explosion.

After an indeterminate amount of time, this round of spiritual energy gathering finally came to an end. When the platinum colored rain had volatilized and the surrounding spiritual energy scattered away, w.a.n.g Lu suddenly felt relaxed.

Of course, looking from the outside, after the waves of surrounding spiritual energy had gathered quite enough, it suddenly rushed back with even more violent momentum! This change was very dramatic that the dirty old man and Wu Feihua subconsciously retreated two steps. Simultaneously, they felt that the magical power circulation within their body was vaguely affected. Their countenance went pale: what an overbearing spiritual energy tide!

Breathe in, breathe out; gather, disperse; like the rising and falling of sea level which worked in a cycle and named as tide. Since it worked in a cycle, it naturally meant that there were more than one.

A moment later, w.a.n.g Lu once again stirred the Sword Bones, taking a deep breath.

This time, even more spiritual energy was sucked in. Under the influence of pulling-in and pulling-out effect, the distance where the surrounding spiritual energy was affected by this second breathing expanded by fifty meters! This was the core of the spiritual energy tide.

Each gathering and dispersing could bring even more spiritual energy to enter this tide cycle which, over time, would s...o...b..ll.

This, of course, gave w.a.n.g Lu even greater pressure. If the Sword Bones just trembled in the first breath, when the second round came, he could even hear the Sword Bones issuing a painful cry… and the previously platinum colored rain within the Inner Mansion has now poured like waterfalls.

However, this wasn’t enough.

On the third round of absorption, the spiritual energy within four hundred meters crazily surged in. The total amount of spiritual energy was almost doubled from the first round! The intensity of the impact was also increased three to four times than the first. w.a.n.g Lu clearly felt the unbearable pain from the pressure on his bones, knowing that he had been indeed injured.

Merely by this spiritual energy absorption, his indestructible Non-Phase Sword Bone was injured, so it could be imagined how powerful this spiritual energy tide was! However, according to w.a.n.g Lu’s expectation, this was still not enough!

He needed to absorb at least three more times, so that the energy was sufficiently acc.u.mulated to build a self-gathering-and-dispersing spiritual energy tide. However, after three more rounds, he was afraid that he would end up torn into pieces!

However, who told him to cultivate Non-Phase Sword Bone? Non-Phase Sword Bones’ pract.i.tioner was never afraid to get injured. As long as it wasn’t a difficult-to-recover devastating blow, each wound would only make the Sword Bone tougher. Although the process was undoubtedly painful, when did w.a.n.g Lu ever cared about it?

Therefore, the fourth round, the fifth round, the sixth round… When the spiritual energy within the five hundred meters radius was crazily surging in like a tidal wave, w.a.n.g Lu knew that the condition was almost ripe.

Then, it was time for the core part. At the boundary between the rising tide and the falling tide, he needed to add in his own influence so that it would artificially form a spontaneous tide in order to form the real tide… To accomplish this, it wasn’t necessary for him to have powerful strength, but extremely precise calculation and a.s.surance. And these were exactly the strong points of a top student!

Previously at the Dog Ear Mountain, w.a.n.g Lu had simulated on how to do this several times to make sure his calculation would not go wrong. When the sixth round of dispersing came to an end, the area where the spiritual energy tide influenced at had expanded to over five hundred meters. As long as he added the spiraling force at the perfect moment, it could form a permanent spiritual energy tide, and this spiraling force had been prepared by him previously in his Inner Mansion.

When the sixth round of dispersing came to an end, there was a fleeting moment of tranquility. At this moment, w.a.n.g Lu, holding back the pain within his Inner Mansion, prepared to extract that spiraling force, which would then, at the seventh round, trigger an effect that was nothing sort of miracle. However, just at this time....

Buzz!

In w.a.n.g Lu’s field of vision, when the sixth round of tide already stopped, and when the surrounding spiritual energy was about to begin another regular movement cycle, all of a sudden, there was an abnormal tremble.

What the! Suddenly, w.a.n.g Lu became uneasy!

To construct an altar using his Qi Cultivating Stage cultivation was in no way relying on just his Void Spirit Root. Each step was the result of w.a.n.g Lu’s repeated calculation and deduction. Even if the difference was only a hair’s breadth, the end result could be thousands of miles off the intended target. And this abnormal tremble was precisely that hair’s breadth difference!

Not having the time to ponder the reason for that error, w.a.n.g Lu put that spiraling force back into his Inner Mansion and quickly sent his command to his Non-Phase Sword Bone.

Suck it!

The best way to wipe away the error was to submerge it within the surging wave of the spiritual energy tide! w.a.n.g Lu had a great expectation on the construction of this altar, so how could he possibly not consider the occurrence of an accident? Therefore, when an accident really happened, though he was surprised, he wasn’t rattled.

The seventh round of the spiritual energy tide successfully wiped out the trace of that tremble. When the tide receded and before the time for the next round of rising tide came, w.a.n.g Lu once again was about to take out the spiraling force from his Inner Mansion, but at this time...

Buzz!

There was that inexplicable tremble, which completely disrupted w.a.n.g Lu’s rhythm! This time, w.a.n.g Lu wasn’t just uneasy.

The first time the accident happened, it could be said to be accidental. However, for two successive accidents to happen… then there must be a reason!

However, whatever the reason was, to w.a.n.g Lu, could still not stop him from building the altar! He exerted his Sword Bones to suck in once more, pulling in the eighth round of spiritual energy ride to smooth out the error!
