96: Sweep through the secret realm and reap amazing rewards
The Slave Seal Spell was, after all, not a Spirit Control Talent;
there was a fundamental difference between the two.
Zhang Sheng could not bring the Demon Dragon into a Secret Realm, nor could he cast the Slave Seal on the unintelligent Yao Beasts within them.
Leaving Vietnam, Zhang Sheng flew over the vast ocean.
In the boundless sea, there was no telling how many Yao Beasts like the Black Fin Bloodthirsty Pomfret were hidden.
“Wing Heaven, the six of you will now go to patrol space and protect the satellites. If any other Yao Beasts appear to destroy them, kill them on the spot!”
Rather than having these six Demon Dragons stay by his side, it was better to have them patrol the aerospace and protect the satellites in space.
Although the threat of the Swift Dragons had been resolved, many Yao Beasts from Yellow-rank Secret Realms had previously descended into the real world.
If a flying Yao Beast in the Qi Sea Realm within those realms promoted to the Divine Breath Realm, it would still pose a massive threat to the satellites.
Through satellites, maintaining a grasp on global dynamics was extremely important for China.
Where a Yao Beast disaster occurred, where a nuclear bomb was suddenly launched, or where a swarm of Yao Beasts appeared—first-hand information had to be grasped via satellite,
thereby allowing for a rapid and effective response.
As for clearing out the Divine Breath Realm Yao Beasts within the Secret Realms,
Zhang Sheng alone was enough.
Moving from one Secret Realm to another, no one could block Zhang Sheng's path.
In addition to Divine Breath Realm Yao Beasts, whenever he encountered powerful Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts, Zhang Sheng would kill them in passing to collect their blood.
Arriving at the location of a Secret Realm within Brazil,
as Zhang Sheng expected, the key officials had already been controlled by the Spirit-Entrapping Worms of the Parasitic God Insect Emperor.
Having encountered Zhang Sheng, they naturally had only one path: death.
The Secret Realm was like an undeveloped virgin land; if the 49-day time limit were allowed to arrive and the Yao Beasts within descended into the real world, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This time, Zhang Sheng did not choose to only kill Divine Breath Realm Yao Beasts; instead, he went on a killing spree, slaughtering all Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts as well.
Either way, it only cost a few more minutes.
For the Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts, he also only took their blood and drops.
Without the Puppets controlled by Spirit-Entrapping Worms, the truth within the Secret Realm also became known to the local Brazilians.
The corpses of the Qi Sea Realm Yao Beasts were left to them.
Whether the Brazilians were grateful to Zhang Sheng or furious, he didn't care.
Because no one cares about the emotions of the weak.
If not for the lack of space in his storage ring, Zhang Sheng wouldn't have left them even a single corpse of a Qi Sea Realm Yao Beast.
Moving on to the next Secret Realm...
...In Secret Realms not controlled by Spirit-Entrapping Worms, most of the Divine Breath Realm Yao Beasts within had already been slain.
Even if it meant stacking up tens of thousands of lives, the rulers of various regions were determined to obtain cultivation resources of the Divine Breath Realm.
How pitiable, how lamentable!
Yet, there was nothing to be done.
It was the sorrow of the era and the tragedy of the common people.
The Secret Realms in Syria and South Africa were the same as the one in Brazil.
Except the controlled Puppets had already fled to parts unknown... in just a day and a half, Zhang Sheng had cleared all 41 Blue-level Secret Realms.
He had slain a total of 72 Divine Breath Realm Yao Beasts,
obtaining 39 blue Jade Slips, along with various second-rank Medicinal Pills, second-rank Spiritual Artifacts, and second-rank Talismans.
Unexpectedly, a finished star vortex spirit gathering plate dropped.
Pity, its quality was only second-rank Low Grade.
With so many blue Jade Slips, it could be called a bumper harvest. Having cleared so many Secret Realms at once, Zhang Sheng finally had time to focus on his Cultivation.
At the same time,
to avoid a Yao Beast disaster like the one in India, a consensus was reached among various countries.
From the moment a Secret Realm appeared, all countries had to completely eliminate the Yao Beasts within it two days before the 49-day time limit expired.
This would cause the Secret Realm to be destroyed early, thereby avoiding the disaster of Yao Beasts descending into the real world again.
If a Secret Realm was not artificially destroyed by the final two days, other nations had the right to forcibly intervene until the Secret Realm was destroyed ahead of time.
Carrying his harvest, Zhang Sheng returned to the First Cultivation University.
With the help of the star ring and Xiao Ling,
the contents recorded in every blue Jade Slip were revealed.
Among the 39 Jade Slips, a third of them were the "Primordial Chaos Heavenly Art," a Divine Breath Realm Qi Refining Cultivation Technique.
There were also several other duplicate Jade Slips.
At this moment, various countries were condemning Zhang Sheng's bandit-like behavior online, and escalating this condemnation to the national level.
But they had forgotten who it was that rebuilt the global network!
If condemnation were useful, what would be the point of military force?
Zhang Sheng did not need to explain to them, nor did China need to explain to them; there was no need to explain at all.
At this moment,
inside the apartment where Zhang Sheng lived,
all 39 jade plaques hovered before Zhang Sheng. The Jade Slips, which had originally looked identical, now all displayed their names.
Excluding the duplicates,
there were a total of 11 brand-new Jade Slips.
As for the duplicate Jade Slips, Zhang Sheng planned to keep two copies of the "Primordial Chaos Heavenly Art" for his parents.
In addition, there were six copies of "Hundred Refined Steel Bones," a second-rank Body Refining technique.
Zhang Sheng kept one for himself and left two for his parents.
In this manner, out of the 39 Blue-level Jade Slips, Zhang Sheng kept 17, six of which were prepared for his parents.
He planned to hand over all the remaining 22 to Dean Hou.
Dean Hou Wu would then distribute them to the other Sequence Members.
As for the other second-rank Spiritual Artifacts, second-rank Talismans, and second-rank Medicinal Pills, Zhang Sheng only kept one star vortex spirit gathering plate, two second-rank Low Grade spirit tool flying daggers, and one Spiritual Artifact longsword.
He intended to hand over all the rest to China.
These things held little significance for Zhang Sheng; it was better to let them play a greater role elsewhere.
The 11 Jade Slips he kept were as follows:
“Star Bridge Guidance,”
“Flame Manipulation Art,”
“Lightning Light Arrow,”
“Hundred Refined Steel Bones,”
“Profound Light Shield,”
“Spirit Wood Armor,”
“Star Synchronization Technique,”
“Spirit Gathering Pill Formula,”
“Rejuvenation Pill Formula,”
“Penetrating Spiritual Eye,”
“Spear Soul Shape Refining.”
Zhang Sheng absorbed the contents of these Jade Slips one by one.
Fortunately, he had cultivated the "Mysterious Spider Thought Binding Method;" otherwise, he truly wouldn't have been able to withstand such a vast amount of information flooding into his Sea of Consciousness.
This included second-rank Cultivation Techniques, second-rank Spells, second-rank Pill Formulas, and second-rank Artifact Refining techniques.
“Star Bridge Guidance,” like the “Spirit Condensing Art” and the “Mysterious Spider Thought Binding Method,” was a second-rank method for cultivating Mental Energy, though its focus was different.
The “Flame Manipulation Art” and “Lightning Light Arrow” were both elemental Spells, with offensive capabilities more than ten times stronger than first-rank Spells.
The “Profound Light Shield” and “Spirit Wood Armor” were both defensive Spells.
The “Star Synchronization Technique” was a universal alchemy technique for refining Medicinal Pills, capable of improving pill quality and success rate.
“Spear Soul Shape Refining” was a second-rank Artifact Refining technique; unlike the “Barlin Artifact Refining Technique,” the former only refined spear-shaped Spiritual Artifacts, specializing in them... Inside the underground command room,
Commander Wang and Dean Hou simply could not believe their eyes.
Ever since learning of Zhang Sheng's actions, Hou Wu had been constantly thinking about how to obtain a portion of the Jade Slips from Zhang Sheng's hands.
Admittedly, such a thought was somewhat shameless.
In both emotion and reason, these Jade Slips belonged to Zhang Sheng himself.
But considering things from a national level, he did not want Zhang Sheng to be the only strong person; only by giving birth to more experts would China's future have an extra measure of hope.
Was he really going to use that set of national righteousness and moral kidnapping to pressure Zhang Sheng?
He was truly too ashamed to speak of it!
Until this moment, when Zhang Sheng appeared before him.
