753 Ascertaining a Direction! (2/2)

So, the difficulty of contacting the royalty and obtaining the continuation of the Demonic Eye Art while not getting noticed by the three greater sects increased infinitely. Even if he transmogrified using his essence technique, the difficulty was the same. If he could kill a Spirit Immortal and replace them, then maybe he stood a chance.

But Spirit Immortals weren't so easy to kill and replace. Even if Wang Baole could suppress cultivators at the perfected Soul Conduit realm currently, he wasn't confident enough to fight a Spirit Immortal. Even if they were only at the early stage of the Spirit Immortal realm, they were still incredibly strong.

Not considering the latter, the only method was to become the leader of the top legion in the legion competition held every 30 years by the Divine Eye civilization. They would be received by the royalty and given mystic techniques as a reward.

The entire Divine Eye civilization was being controlled by the three greater sects, which meant that the top legion must also come from the three greater sects. From here, one could see the compromise of the royalty. But similarly, Wang Baole also saw the intentions of the royalty that were unknown to others.

Wang Baole didn't fully understand the battle of wits involved and could only see the faint traces of it. But this didn't affect his judgment and decision-making. He was very clear that if he could achieve this method, he had a very huge chance to obtain the cultivation techniques he needed. Even if he couldn't obtain them, he could make use of this opportunity and use other means to do so.

However, it's still difficult to become the top legion. Wang Baole sighed. Through De Kunzi's memories and his understanding after coming to the Divine Eye civilization, Wang Baole was clear that the top-ranked military commanders of the three greater sects were all Spirit Immortals.

For some special legions, even if they weren't that highly ranked, their commander still had to be a Spirit Immortal.

In the three greater sects, every sect has six to seven Spirit Immortals… I need to find a way to increase my cultivation! While Wang Baole realized this, he also decided to assimilate into the Holy Crest Sect thoroughly. He would make use of this minor sect to find an opportunity to enter the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect. Afterwards, he would join a big legion and await his opportunity.

Increasing cultivation takes time, but there's a faster way to increase my combat strength. That is… the Divine Eye civilization's Dharmic Battleship! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. After searching the soul of De Kunzi, Wang Baole learned that beyond the Divine Eye civilization's battleships were an even stronger existence called Dharmic Battleships!

Normally, only the big legions had these Dharmic Battleships, and they were usually controlled by Spirit Immortals. To a certain degree, they were like Divine Armaments and had differences in level.

Wang Baole wasn't sure how exactly they were refined and segregated, but he understood that continuously refining his own battleship was surely a method of turning it into a Dharmic Battleship. So, Wang Baole's desire for refinement resources intensified as he became more determined in his thoughts.

Therefore, in the next few days, he displayed a mid-stage, nearing late-stage Nascent Soul realm cultivation. As such, he was appointed as the vice-commander of the Holy Crest Sect's legion, with the commander being De Kunzi.

Although others objected to this, they chose to remain silent under the majesty of De Kunzi. In addition, Wang Baole got De Kunzi to cooperate with him. As the Holy Crest Sect pillaged the cosmos, they found a battleship among some ruins.

It was found, but actually, it was the battleship that Wang Baole built personally. He used a suitable method to display it to everyone. This caused the combat strength of the Holy Crest Sect legion to increase quite a bit and reduced the number of objections from the other elders.

Afterward, he collected resources again and again with the Holy Crest Sect legion. Time passed slowly as he did so, and a year passed.

In that year, the cultivation Wang Baole displayed slowly increased to the perfected Nascent Soul realm, and the resources he collected were largely used to refine his battleship. At the same time, his true cultivation had thoroughly stabilized. He could be said to have completely entered the Soul Conduit realm, and his actual combat strength increased.

Meanwhile, he killed many times during battles, such that he became too lazy to hide his cultivation. In an encounter he deliberately created, and with the cooperation of De Kunzi, Wang Baole's cultivation achieved a breakthrough in front of everyone and entered the Soul Conduit realm!

The moment he entered the Soul Conduit realm, under the envious looks of the Holy Crest Sect disciples, Wang Baole gave orders with De Kunzi. The Holy Crest Sect legion ended their travels that lasted for over a year and prepared to… return to the Divine Eye civilization!
