Chapter 311: Chapter 297: A New Path Forward

Princess Lark is indeed quite righteous.

She promised to replenish fifty thousand points of spiritual energy daily, and she really did.

Yet, she has never shown herself.

But, fighting side by side?

Who is she?

Almost all Third-Grade Great Demons revealed their true forms on the battlefield, but I’ve never seen even one peacock!

Wang Wu did not delve deeper into this matter, handing all miscellaneous tasks to that maid supervisor. He instructed her to store any remaining daily Spiritual Qi, and he would retrieve it periodically.

Next, he personally chose a mountain valley with excellent scenery, built several grass huts there, and transported General Xuelang’s petrified body to this location.

He also placed Wolf Bu’er and the others nearby; they would need several months before the petrification effect wore off.

After settling everything, Wang Wu entered Passive Concealment, sneaking into an inconspicuous small valley hundred miles away, randomly selecting a rock crevice, transforming into a yellow-bead size, crawling in, ensuring that even if Lu Wuchen, that old thief, arrived, there was no way to assassinate him.

Then, he began pondering his future cultivation plans.

“Perhaps I should seriously consider formally developing the Seven Demon Pill System!”

Inside the rock crevice, Wang Wu pondered, furrowing his brows. The next century should be the quietest, most favorable retreat period of his life. If this time is not spent to establish the Seven Demon Pill System, whether formally warring with the Human Race or fleeing later, time would likely be insufficient.

Although he wanted to consult the Inheritance Soul Jade again, he ultimately gave up. On this matter, even if the Bear Demon Emperor revived, or Grandpa Tree and Left Demon Emperor were summoned, it would be useless.

As the Five Demon Pill System is already extremely rare, how much more so for the Seven Demon Pill System?

No one could provide him with a correct suggestion.

“I can only make my own path!”

As he mulled over this thought, Wang Wu solemnly opened the attribute bar. The entire dataset within, especially with Grandpa Tree’s updated information library, became more precise in its data-driven attributes, being his greatest support. (Apologies, I know everyone dislikes data, it seems like there’s too much of it, but I have to present it, just this once)

“Strange, why can’t Yin Fire still be registered in the attribute bar?”

Wang Wu felt a stir in his heart, and a small wisp of Pale Fire rose from his palm, capturing within it a small crimson sword only three centimeters long.

Hmm, a Fire Attribute Lifebound Flying Sword, not of high grade, only Celestial Ninth Grade.

But the problem is, that Human boy has two of them, one being the Crimson Flame Pure Yang, and the other Cold Ice Pure Yin.

“That guy should be a Celestial Realm Second Grade Great Cultivator, his Lifebound Flying Sword is only Celestial Ninth Grade, showing how difficult it is to refine such a thing.”

Wang Wu sighed and retrieved the Yin Fire. Now, he had to rely on this Yin Fire to suppress the Crimson Flame Pure Yang Flying Sword; otherwise, if he took it back, it might just fly across mountains and waters on its own to find its master.

No wonder it’s a Spirit-Connected Treasure.

Indeed, a Celestial Ninth Grade Lifebound Flying Sword already belongs to the Magical Artifact Level.

This is an exception.

Another exception is the Lifebound Demon Soldiers.

“So, should I cultivate the Five Elements Golden Body next, or establish the Seven Demon Pill System?”

Wang Wu fell into contemplation.

The Five Elements Golden Body is mighty impressive, like the Wind-Enriched Golden Body derived from cultivating Basic Agility—perfect for escaping, traversing thousands of miles in an instant is no exaggeration!

However, cultivating the Five Elements Golden Body is indeed quite challenging.

The most crucial point is that it doesn’t enhance the core.

What is the core?

It is lifespan.

It’s not even those five Basic Attributes, nor Bloodline Talent, Bloodline Divine Techniques, Demon Pill, Heart of the Earth, or Spirit Pill.

It is lifespan.

This is a realization Wang Wu recognized more deeply.

Without lifespan, everything is in vain.

Especially if he wants to max out the Three Calamities Resistance in the future, without enough lifespan, he wouldn’t be able to move an inch.

Last time, it cost him 1500 years of lifespan to conquer the Yin Fire, only gaining 1000 points of resistance, just a tenth.

By this calculation, he would need at least 15000 years of lifespan to fully max out Yin Fire Resistance.

Quite terrifying!

Interestingly, maxing out Evil Wind Resistance only requires around three thousand years of lifespan but would damage Basic Attributes.

Whereas for Yang Thunder Resistance, it seems the least costly at present.

Yet Wang Wu feels there’s a pitfall.

“I can’t be like Cangyun, doing things half-heartedly and always giving up halfway; if I’m going to max out Yin Fire, I have to do it in one go.”

“So from this perspective, establishing the Seven Demon Pill System seems the best way to increase lifespan. Of course, if I can cultivate a few more Spirit Pills, that’s also possible, but that feels like asking for trouble for me!”

“Better to increase lifespan then!”

Wang Wu finally made a decision.

However, the Inner Breathing Technique and Qi and Blood Circulation Refining Method seem to advance, but they require Bloodline Evolution Level, so what to do?

He only had 8.5% left.

“But, the Inner Breathing Technique and Qi and Blood Circulation Refining Method are the fundamental prerequisites of the Innate Bloodline System. If I want to build the Seven Demon Pill System, the current Blood and Qi Circulation Speed and the amount of refining may not suffice.”

Wang Wu realized that these two aspects couldn’t be ignored.

If the Five Demon Pills plus the Heart of the Earth are like the relationship between a graphics card and a CPU, then the Inner Breathing Technique and the Blood and Qi Refining Technique are like power supplies and AC power delivery protocols.

Indeed, when he converts Vitality into Qi and Blood, he doesn’t need the Heart of the Earth.

It’s only when communicating with the Acquired Dual Spirit Pill, transforming Spiritual Qi, or when other methods are exhausted, the capital is surrounded, the Five Demon Pills are wasted, and life is at risk, that the Heart of the Earth is activated.

At other times, you want me to send the Heart of the Earth into battle?

What are you thinking!

Where is my Grand General, my Jinyi Guards, and Eastern Depot minions? Where is my Border Army, my Forbidden Army?

Of course, now Wang Wu also has the choice to immediately refine the Heart of the Earth, his Bear Heart, into a Demon Pill. It’s easy, and it doesn’t occupy Bloodline Evolution Level because it is essentially a given, a state of Heavenly Son guarding the imperial gate, the king dying for the state.

Ninety-nine point nine percent of the Demon Race does it this way.

If a Demon Heart isn’t refined into a Demon Pill, are you waiting to get wasted?

But he can’t do it this way. Doing so would mean ruining the Acquired Dual Spirit Pill System he has cultivated.

A single edict, a policy, and that’s it, you’re finished, just like that.

“So, I have to see how to upgrade?”

Wang Wu pondered, knowing that the attribute bar only offered a suggestion for possible upgrades, but it didn’t mean it knew how to upgrade.

Just like a mother seeing her high schooler scoring full marks in math, naturally thinking you can keep working hard, but how to work hard and what’s it got to do with me as the mom?

At this moment, Wang Wu immersed his mind, and the outer breathing automatically ended, inner breathing spontaneously operated, and the Qi and Blood Circulation followed suit. This was already a skill he had mastered to perfection, divinely transformed, a hundred-point paper, yet he could still write with flair?

“Unless, I change my approach!”

After pondering for a long time, Wang Wu, for some reason, thought of the Five Elements Spirit Pill, Five Elements Spirit Array, and the Five Elements Golden Body, then he thought of the concept of ’Heaven Repairing’.

That is, could he use the operation of Qi and Blood to simulate the Five Elements Spirit Array?

Right?

The Inner Breathing Technique is like 0 and 1, one inhale and one exhale, using the compression of these two points to initiate the initial operation of Qi and Blood, and then when the Qi and Blood form a circulation and form an inertia to begin mobilizing, it’s like a circular work, though this process is much more complicated, it can indeed be defined as a circle.

Then, what if on this basis, he adjusts the operation path of Qi and Blood according to the spiritual Qi operation pattern of the Five Elements Spirit Array?

When this idea emerged, Wang Wu froze in place, his mind roaring, feeling like he had kicked open a new world.

Yes, other Demon Races don’t have his advantage!

In his current state, this state of cultivated resonance and mutual aid between innate and acquired practices, it’s simply the best test subject!

The best part is, because of Danger Perception + Spirit Essence, plus the Five Elements Pill Formula given to him by She Shoujiu, he has indeed practiced the Five Elements Spirit Array.

Deploying a Five Elements Spirit Array with Qi and Blood operations within his own body?

Ha!

Brother, it is something worth trying!
