I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 176 Demons and Ghosts, Public Security Patrol Office, Changes in Various Regions
Feeling the size of the space in front of him, Wang Chao couldn't help but twitch his lips; it was less than the size of a basketball.

Even if gods are energy beings that can shrink to an extremely small size, who would be willing to enter such a space?

Not to mention, it is constantly shrinking and collapsing under the pressure of external spatial forces and the rules of heaven and earth.

It probably won't be long before it completely collapses.

This is not as good as the space created by the divine power of the Pot Heaven.

The "Pot Heaven" technique among the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends likely refers to the ability to create a space within a container such as a wine pot.

Or rather, it is about expanding and extending the original space to create a larger space.

This is why, if a dynasty were to use it to create spatial artifacts, it could create spatial artifacts ranging from ten cubic meters to tens of thousands of cubic meters, depending on the original size of the space.

For example, a jade pendant worn at the waist of a dynasty.

Its interior is hollow, and the dynasty expanded it to hundreds of cubic meters, which could be used to store personal belongings.

In addition, the dynasty also created some other storage artifacts and gifted them to some close officials and generals.

Of course, there is a fundamental difference between the two.

Spatial artifacts created using the divine power of the Pot Heaven are essentially expansions and extensions of existing spaces.

The creation of heaven and earth, and the establishment of the heavens and earth, meant truly opening up a separate space that is dependent on the world we live in today.

It contains everything from mountains and rivers to flowers, trees, and plants.

Therefore, with the current strength of the dynasty, it is still somewhat difficult to truly create a new world, and even if it were to do so, it would not last long.

Although she had already anticipated this, the dynasty still felt somewhat regretful.

After destroying that newly opened space, the dynasty once again fell into work.

The world's advancement presents him with far too many problems to deal with.

It should be noted that the natural energy within the territory of the Salvation Army is three times higher than that in other places.

After this transformation, the spiritual energy attracted by nature increased significantly, reaching five times that of other places.

In other words, the energy concentration increased fiftyfold in other places, but in the territory of the People's Salvation Army, it was equivalent to more than two hundredfold, which is terrifying.

Such abundant cosmic energy is causing a dramatic transformation in everything in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces.

Whether human or animal, their physical constitution is constantly being strengthened, and the spiritual power they exude is becoming stronger and stronger.

Even plants are transforming into spiritual plants and beginning to emanate a certain spiritual power.

If that's all there is to it, then it's nothing.

The main reason is that, as the physical fitness of countless wild animals improves, their spiritual power also becomes stronger and stronger. In fact, the spiritual intelligence of many animals is no less than that of an eight- or nine-year-old child.

At this point, they could already be called demons.

Their presence naturally poses a great threat to humans and even the surrounding villages, and they need to be dealt with.

Whether it's killing, imprisoning, or taking them for one's own use, someone has to deal with it.

Besides that, there are also ghosts.

In the past, only places where a large number of people gathered, such as battlefields or where a large family had just died, could gather the spiritual energy of many people and evolve into special ghosts.

Now, with the significant increase in the concentration of energy in the universe.

Even ordinary people can become ghosts after they die.

Most of these ghosts are no longer related to their previous lives, at most they have some memories of their past lives. Like those ghosts that originated from the battlefield, they often harm humans based on their instinct to devour spiritual power.

Only a very small number of ghosts possess fragmented spiritual consciousness from their previous life.

However, this is not necessarily a good thing.

Because they possess some fragmented spiritual consciousness, they also have a certain degree of initiative and may even return home based on their memories.

Unlike other mindless ghosts, which simply wander around their birthplace based on instinct.

Moreover, these ghosts with incomplete spiritual consciousness can, to some extent, evade the suppression of the nation's destiny because they possess a certain degree of spiritual consciousness and have a blood-related spiritual connection with their relatives.

Therefore, they could potentially break into the city.

But when they return home and see their loved ones, they won't shed tears of joy; instead, driven by instinct, they will possess and devour their souls.

Only when their bloodline dies out and their intelligence gradually fades will they be targeted by the fate of the nation.

However, if they hide inside the possessing body and do not come out, relying solely on the instinctive mechanism of the nation's destiny, it is truly impossible to distinguish them, and naturally, they will not be suppressed.

To possess a complete spiritual consciousness, one needs to have a sufficiently strong spiritual consciousness during their lifetime.

Wang Chao estimated that those who practiced Zen meditation and Taoism might actually transform into the legendary ghosts, and could also restrain, to some extent, the ability to devour spiritual power and avoid harming human instincts.

However, as time goes by, unless their willpower reaches a certain level, they will gradually decline and eventually become vengeful ghosts.

These ghosts also need to be dealt with.

The only good news is that not everything can transform into a demon or a ghost; it requires their spiritual power to be strong enough.

So, although someone needs to handle them.

However, since there are already city gods, local deities, and heavenly soldiers and generals, it is not necessary to allocate too many manpower.

And his previous idea could then be put on the agenda.

The dynasty summoned everyone directly and announced the reorganization of the patrol bureau, dividing it into two parts.

Some continued their previous duties, patrolling their respective cities, arresting criminals, and so on.

The dynasty called it the City Security Management Office, or simply the Security Office. It set up branches in various cities, appointed security officers to manage the head constables and police officers of the Security Office.

The other part is still called the Inspection Division.

However, their responsibilities have changed; they are now responsible for handling matters concerning demons and ghosts within their scope of duties.

Each city will establish a branch of the patrol inspection bureau, with one chief inspector, two deputies, and ten to twenty inspectors. Upon learning of the current situation, everyone nodded in agreement with the dynasty's reorganization of the patrol inspection bureaus.

Since a large number of demons and ghosts will be born in this world in the future, there will naturally be a special department to deal with them.

However, the dynasty did not immediately extend it to the entire territory, but instead used Zhenyuan Garrison as a pilot city to avoid any mishaps.

Moreover, the location is suitable because many people died in the last war, and a large number of ghosts were born there.

Although the army that died in battle to save the people was transformed into heavenly soldiers to suppress the rebellion, there were always areas that could not be taken care of.

Moreover, the area is located on the border, sparsely populated, with many desolate mountains and forests, making it easy for monsters to be born.

As for such demons, the heavenly soldiers and the city gods and local deities, who can currently only exert great combat power at the spiritual level, are somewhat powerless.

That place could be considered a perfect pilot site for the inspection department.

Subsequently, the dynasty promoted Wang Zhenyuan to the position of Chief Inspector of Zhenyuan City, responsible for handling matters related to demons and ghosts in Zhenyuan Garrison City.

Upon hearing the king's order, Wang Zhenyuan opened his mouth, but ultimately did not utter a word of refusal.

Putting aside the fact that he couldn't possibly embarrass the dynasty in front of everyone.

As a member of the People's Salvation Army and a member of the human race, he had the duty, if he was able, to kill and deal with demons and ghosts and protect the peace of the region.

While the dynasty established a special inspection office to handle matters concerning demons and ghosts, other forces outside were completely unaware of the birth of demons and ghosts.

Although the concentration of celestial energy in other regions is far less than that in the territory of the Salvation Army.

However, it is enough to give birth to demons and ghosts.

It just might take a little longer and be relatively weaker.

However, that weakness is relative to the demons and monsters in the territory of the Salvation Army.

For ordinary people, that is an existence they cannot contend with.

The monsters are alright; with bows, arrows, swords, and spears, there's always a chance to kill them.

But for ghosts, ordinary people can only wait to die, and even escaping is difficult.

After all, once you have an impression of it, your spiritual power will gather and you will naturally be targeted by the ghost.

However, at this moment, the civil and military officials of various forces, as well as the emperors of the dynasties, were already immersed in a sea of ​​joy and excitement, completely unaware of these things.

Even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care, since it wouldn't hurt them anyway.

Because at this time, many of them possessed extraordinary abilities.

Military generals cultivate their vital energy during training.

Civil officials cultivate their spirit by studying the writings of sages and worthies.

If you exercise your body, study the writings of sages, or engage in meditation, you can simultaneously possess both vitality and spiritual strength.

This is not one of those either/or worlds.

Even ordinary people, if they have enough food, can generate vital energy through a lot of labor and exercise.

It is clear, however, that the vast majority of ordinary people do not have enough food.

At the same time, if they know how to meditate or study, immersing themselves in something wholeheartedly and for a long time, they can also generate spiritual power.

But similarly, how could they, who spend their whole lives struggling to make a living, possibly have such an opportunity?
But no matter what, this world is racing headlong toward the extraordinary, and there's no stopping it.

Other famous mountains and rivers, as well as the true cultivators in temples and Taoist monasteries, also began to cultivate their vital energy and spiritual power.

Near Shizhouwei in Huguang, Hong Chengchou felt the surging vital energy within his body and the spiritual power drifting like mist in his mind, and fell into a daze.

During this period, his power suddenly surged, and he even opened up a space of consciousness, condensing spiritual power.

After calming himself down, Hong Chengchou, acting on instinct, instantly mobilized the power within his body and threw a powerful punch forward.

"Boom~!"

In an instant, a violent surge of energy erupted, smashing the tables, chairs, and benches in front of them to pieces. Even the tents affected by the blast shook violently and nearly collapsed.

"Tap Tap"

"Your Excellency, what has happened?"

Hearing the commotion outside, the guards quickly came to the tent entrance and loudly inquired.

"No, no, I just knocked over the tables and chairs while practicing my punches and kicks."
"Okay, have someone come in and tidy it up."

"Yes, Governor!"

When the guards led the men in, they glanced at the broken and mangled tables and chairs and couldn't help but click their tongues in disbelief.

Is this governor's martial arts skill really that good?

Ignoring the people who came to tidy up the tents, Hong Chengchou walked out of the camp with his hands behind his back, his expression one of indescribable excitement and arrogance.

Unable to contain himself, Hong Chengchou burst into laughter.

"Ha ha."

He feels that he is now more than ten times better than before.

With just a light punch, he could easily kill his past self.

Compared to Qin Liangyu's previous strength, he felt that he was probably able to dodge the bullets from the militia's rifles.

Of course, if he were to be targeted by a large number of rifles, he would also harbor resentment towards the Northwest.

However, after this period of research and discussions with Qin Liangyu, they also summarized some training methods from some Taoist and Buddhist classics and their own circumstances.

It should also allow others to have the same vitality after exercising.
