365 Qi Fostering Spirit Array Formation (2/2)

Wang Baole gasped after he was done reading everything.

I was wondering why I felt a severe diffusion of my Spirit Qi leaking into the surrounding when I was using the Qi Fostering Art to refine Spirit Qi… this is the reason!

I was also wondering what the new city zone had to do with the excavation of the Divine Armament. So this is why… Wang Baole was clearly affected by his discovery. He took a while to calm himself down. He started thinking about the Federation. Gradually, a thought formed in his head.

The politics inside the Federation are too complex. As you climb up the ranks, it's like unveiling layer after layer of secrets. Every new discovery is more shocking than the previous… also, is it really true that the Federation has never had a Nascent Soul?

A myriad of emotions flashed across Wang Baole's face. The knowledge that had been instilled deeply in him since he had been a boy had just been exposed as superficial. There had been another layer of truth hidden beneath all along. The discovery unsettled him, and he couldn't control the surge of emotions he was feeling.

After a very long time, Wang Baole finally accepted the truth that had been laid out before him. He fell silent as he stared at the voice transmission jade slip before him. The Federation had kept this matter under wraps too well. Every political force also didn't wish for too many people to find out about this secret.

Now, Wang Baole was aware of it as well. But he knew that he could never disclose this. No one could ever disclose this truth.

Fortunately, he had never heard of any cases of someone being sucked dry by an array formation and then dying. He had first-hand experience as well, and he had never felt any discomfort inside the array formation. Besides, Wang Baole firmly believed that both the Sect Lord and the Grand Supreme Elder of the Ethereal Dao College knew about this. They had chosen to remain silent. This meant that the only harm the array formation had on the general populace was limited to the energy they expended while refining Spirit Stones.

After all, they were all living inside the array formation.

Wang Baole released a sigh of relief at that thought and continued reading the document. When he was finally done with it, it was already late into the night. He noted the warning on the document that instructed its readers not to leak any part of the information to anyone else. That would amount to treason.

The document self-destructed after he was done reading it. Not a trace of it remained.

Wang Baole stared at the emptied voice transmission jade slip and shut his eyes. He slowly digested the contents of the top-secret document while waiting for the Martian Colony Governor to call for him.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During those three days, Wang Baole stayed in his residence and didn't leave. He began to meditate and train while waiting. He could sense that his cultivation was reaching the peak of the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. When the time arrived, he would try for a breakthrough and enter the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Due to his practicing of the Lightning Dao: First Volume, the lightning bolts resting within both his legs were fully charged. He needed only a single thought to unleash them.

After the initial breakthrough in his practice of the Dark Art, his progress grew exponentially. He could sense the Negative Spirit Body during every practice session. He had also successfully formed the second Dark Fire inside his body!

The presence of both Dark Fire sped up his cultivation tremendously. The Green Lotus inside his body had grown as well, and he no longer needed to train his physical body; it grew stronger naturally, without any aid from him.

It reached a point where Wang Baole felt that there wasn't much use in him practicing any more mystic techniques. If he encountered an enemy that couldn't be downed in a single blow, he would simply hit him another ten times, or a hundred times. He was filled with endless energy anyway, and he healed at a startling rate.

His only regret was his very own Dark Corpse Face Art… the Dark Art!

He hadn't had the opportunity to try it out. He itched with curiosity every time he thought about it. He really wanted to find out how powerful the Dark Corpse Face Art was, and what it actually did.

It's a pity there's no opportunity… Wang Baole sighed. He didn't want to risk being associated with the Divine Armament Catacombs should he be found out for using the Dark Art and then dragged off to become a specimen in a lab…

He might be able to convince others to disregard his knowledge of the scripture with his status in the Ethereal Dao College and as the new mayor. If he exposed the fact he was practicing the Dark Art, he would be very surprised if nobody tried to pry the truth out of his mouth and find out exactly what was going on.

Caution is the word. Wang Baole sighed and reminded himself. He continued his cultivation. Four days later, noon came… Wang Baole was deep in practice when his voice transmission ring suddenly vibrated. A stern voice, sending him a message on behalf of the Martian administration, rang in Wang Baole's ear.

”Mayor Wang, the Governor has a fifteen-minute window in an hour's time. Please arrive at her office on time!”
