113: Another divination
It took over two hours to complete the instructional video for refining essence food pills.
After that,
Zhang Sheng stopped making instructional videos.
It would take time for the public to digest these two videos, and Zhang Sheng had his own matters to attend to.
Irene had already returned to Sweden.
As for the next divination, Zhang Sheng had already made an appointment with her for six days later at the same old place.
As for the target of the divination, Zhang Sheng already had someone in mind... Zhang Sheng went out,
and resumed the cultivation he had previously interrupted. Although "Earth-Binding Quicksand" had reached the Perfected State, his cultivation of "Sand Blast Funeral" had only just begun.
"Spell: Sand Blast Funeral (Beginner: 7/100)"
With just a single casting, his progress in the Beginner Realm increased by seven points.
This was thanks to his "Earth-Binding Quicksand" being at the Perfected State; Zhang Sheng already had an impressive level of comprehension.
Zhang Sheng spent six days
cultivating "Sand Blast Funeral," a Second-tier Earth-attribute offensive Spell, to the Perfected State.
During this period,
China dispatched hundreds of transport aircraft sorties to distribute a massive number of leaflets.
Every booklet had "Flight Technique" printed on it.
The total number of booklets dropped exceeded two billion!
The content of the dropped leaflets was like sparks of fire, igniting hope in the hearts of the common people.
Because of this, they learned that in China, everyone could Cultivate such Spells.
These leaflets were like bombs thrown at local rulers, and their impact far exceeded that of actual explosives.
Conflicts were bound to erupt,
and the flames of war meant death and sacrifice.
However, if the chronic illness was not cured, how could those suffering from oppression and hardship welcome a new life?
Without the baptism of war, they would forever fall into Hell under the oppression of those in power!
Doing otherwise would not only give Yao Beasts an opportunity but would also be very detrimental to Zhang Sheng's subsequent plans.
Therefore,
Zhang Sheng resolutely decided to distribute the Flight Technique via aircraft.
The "Heavenly Circulation Method" and the instructional video for refining essence food pills also became bestsellers.
Hundreds of millions of copies were sold in just three days.
Even though Zhang Sheng didn't ask for a share of the Spirit Pearls, money had no meaning for him anymore; he had the entire China as his backing.
Nevertheless, an astronomical figure was still deposited into his account.
"Twenty billion!"
He had only seen that many zeros in Chengdu!
...News of the Earth-Splitting Rock Centipede finally arrived,
but it wasn't good news. Several tribes in Africa had been ambushed with no survivors, and all their livestock had vanished.
Only the devastated ground remained.
Chinese satellites captured the scene of the Yao Centipede's appearance,
but from the centipede's appearance to its devouring of all humans and animals, only a few minutes passed, making rescue impossible.
Zhang Sheng hadn't expected the Yao Centipede to travel so far underground in just one week.
It seemed he had to act quickly.
Irene arrived in China as scheduled.
"War God Zhang, I wonder what you would like me to divine for you this time?"
Irene's tone was flippant and her posture charming; her lips seemed even more crimson than their last meeting.
Zhang Sheng frowned slightly, his eyes carefully scrutinizing the woman before him.
"What is it, War God Zhang? Could it be you've changed your mind? It's not too late to marry me and take me home!"
Zhang Sheng's nose caught a faint scent of blood.
It was the smell of human blood, but it didn't belong to Irene herself.
However, his Spirit Eye could not detect anything unusual, nor was there any aura of a Spirit-Entrapping Worm.
Although he found no clues, Zhang Sheng remained cautious.
"Miss Irene, I want you to help me divine the location of a Yao Beast!"
Previously,
besides helping the Swift Dragons descend into the world, the Parasitic Insect Emperor had another capable assistant: the Black Fin Bloodthirsty Pomfret.
From Wing Heaven, he learned the name of the Black Fin Bloodthirsty Pomfret Clan Chief—Hei Sha.
Unfortunately, he hadn't obtained information regarding the Clan Chief of the Earth-Splitting Rock Centipedes.
It wasn't strange to Irene that Zhang Sheng wanted her to divine a Yao Beast's location; what was strange was that Zhang Sheng actually knew the Yao Beast's name.
"I wonder if Miss Irene can do it?" Zhang Sheng asked indifferently.
"Of course. If I know the race and name, then as long as it isn't an ordinary Yao Beast famous for its Mental Energy, I will be able to divine it; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to fulfill my duty."
"Wait for my good news!"
Watching Irene's back as she walked toward the secret room,
Zhang Sheng felt that Irene's pace was slightly hurried and tense.
The moment she stepped into the quiet room, Irene slowly closed the door.
She slowly exhaled a long breath.
"What terrifying insight. Could Zhang Sheng have discovered something already?" Irene thought to herself, sensing trouble.
Yet her face remained expressionless as she walked slowly to the prayer mat and sat down.
There were likely surveillance cameras in the quiet room; she had to be careful.
There might even be people with special Awakened Talents observing her.
Recalling her encounter from a few days ago, Irene felt like she was in a nightmare.
"I was too greedy for China's Cultivation Technique Jade Slips. If I hadn't helped Zhang Sheng divine Hassan's location, I wouldn't have used up my once-a-week divination chance, and I wouldn't have..."
Most of the time, Irene would use her weekly divination chance to foresee her own safety for the coming days.
Using it just once on something else had given that fellow an opportunity.
"Damn it!"
Irene unconsciously touched her neck.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
"I'd better focus on the divination first. If I don't find Hei Sha's location, Zhang Sheng probably won't let me leave."
"This is so frustrating! I'm a famous Diviner, yet I live without any freedom! If I had known, I should have stayed hidden and never shown my face."
Ten minutes later,
Irene walked out of the quiet room.
This time, her complexion looked much better.
Having cultivated the "Mysterious Spider Thought Binding Method," her Mental Energy had indeed improved significantly.
After obtaining the information on Hei Sha's location, Zhang Sheng immediately set off for the sea area where Hei Sha was located.
At this very moment,
Hei Sha was deep at the bottom of the ocean, staring at a peculiar plant.
It was a small tree with needle-like leaves, and the surrounding spiritual energy was constantly gathering toward it.
The small tree was also emitting a spiritual mist.
Hei Sha, a lone fish, greedily inhaled the spiritual mist.
"Insect Emperor, oh Insect Emperor, I sacrificed so many clansmen to cooperate with your actions. The debt of gratitude for the blood food from India has already been repaid."
"Now there's no benefit at all, yet you still want to command me? In your dreams!"
He had once observed human Cultivators from afar, especially the Chinese Cultivators.
They were nightmare-like existences, not at all weaker than the opponents they faced during their Civilization Assessment.
In his view, they had already lost. Wanting to wipe out humanity and obtain the star rings was complete wishful thinking.
It was better to hide in this trench and Cultivate honestly—every extra day alive was a gain!
If he were truly caught by humans, he would just surrender; after all, those damned Swift Dragons were living just fine.
They even came down to the sea from time to time to catch his fellow clansmen.
On Mochong Star, Swift Dragons were one of their natural enemies.
He hadn't expected that after awakening and coming to Earth, things would still be the same, making him afraid to even show his face.
Suddenly, Hei Sha's right eyelid twitched a few times.
