Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

under night,

It was pitch black and completely silent.

Only a small village surrounded by mountains had a few scattered lights.

In the village.

Several traveling forces divided the village into five areas for a temporary rest.

"Something's not right. Before we arrived, this village was clearly quite populated. Even the food in the pots was hot. But now there's not a single person here!"

Cui Xiangjun frowned and looked at He Wei with a questioning expression.

Let's see if He Wei should report this to Wang Sheng.

He Wei is Wang Sheng's close associate and also the deputy sect leader of the Six Harmonies Sect. She is quite powerful and one of the few people who can make decisions.

"The villagers are probably afraid of us. There's no need to bother the sect leader with everything."

He Wei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

She also sensed something was wrong. No matter how fast the villagers ran, they shouldn't have left no trace or even a shadow of anyone.

However, Wang Sheng had instructed him to focus on his cultivation and not to disturb him unless it was a matter of life or death.

Several other forces are also present here, so even if strange beasts appear, there is nothing to fear.

"That's true, we're already here. It's not advisable to continue traveling at night."

He Xiangjun nodded slightly and then left.

As a master of the Great Perfection of Transformation Realm, he could only avoid being seen as useless by demonstrating his abilities and raising questions.

In fact, He Xiangjun also thought the problem wasn't serious. These villagers had clearly been living here for some time, and the fact that the incident only happened now meant the issue wasn't too significant.

In no time at all,

The other four forces noticed something was amiss and, together with the Six Harmonies Sect that Wang Sheng had publicly declared, the five forces established contact with each other, agreeing to work together to resolve any problems that might arise.

Of the five factions, three openly have Grandmasters of the Harmony Realm in charge. The other two factions also have several Grandmasters of the Transformation Realm.

The only known master of the Six Harmonies Sect is the white-haired old man who protected He Xiangjun and her daughter as they escaped; his name is Qi Changshan.

Although he was seriously injured, he was still a Grandmaster of the Harmony Realm and temporarily represented the Six Harmony Sect, making other forces dare not underestimate him.

With such a large group of experts around, no one took this small village seriously. They proceeded with their usual routine of cooking, resting, and recuperating.

Inside a room,

The oil lamp was dim and flickering.

Wang Sheng sat cross-legged on the bed, a pale blue panel appearing before his eyes.

Heaven rewards diligence: Learning will surely lead to success.

[Cultivation Level: Great Perfection of the Harmonious Strength Stage]

...]

Currently, Wang Sheng has completed the five internal organ cultivation of the Eight-Line Horizontal Breathing Technique.

In terms of contemporary internal strength levels, refining the five internal organs corresponds to completing the transformation of internal strength.

The Eight-Line Horizontal Breathing Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier ancient martial art. It barely manages to cultivate the five internal organs to the level of Transformation Force. Combined with the other two body-refining techniques, it allows one to transcend an entire major realm and challenge the Innate Realm.

If it were physical strength, even if Wang Sheng cultivated ten worthless techniques to the level of Transformation Strength, he still wouldn't be able to withstand a single sword strike from a True Immortal!

Of course, Wang Sheng could only challenge Xiantian before, and he could only win against Xiantian under specific circumstances.

If the innate beings were allowed to fight freely in the open, Wang Sheng would not be able to withstand it without using any strategies or tactics.

"Time to refine your spirit!"

Looking at the progress of the Eight-Line Horizontal Breathing Technique on the panel, Wang Sheng sighed inwardly.

Top-tier cultivation methods are indeed excellent, but they require too many resources and are too slow to master.

Even though he cultivated day and night and consumed a large number of body-refining treasures, and even after eating half of the blood ginseng, he still managed to raise his spirit-refining stage by one-eighth.

This step of body-refining methods, refining the spirit, corresponds to the stage of combining internal energy.

The two have similarities.

In the later stages of the Unity of Strength, the Unity of Spirit not only enhances mental power but also indirectly elevates the soul. After the Unity of Spirit, the range and intensity of one's senses will greatly increase. Moreover, one will be immune to mental attacks such as the Lion's Roar, and will be fearless against any sneak attacks, able to keenly anticipate killing intent.

However, having a premonition is one thing. Being able to stop it is another.

The body-refining method involves two steps: refining the head and refining spiritual power, which is the soul.

It's just that, due to the limitations of cultivation levels, neither the methods of physical strength nor the methods of body refinement delve too deeply into the cultivation of the soul; they only scratch the surface.

Therefore, if Wang Sheng completes the Spirit Refinement, his head will become much stronger, his senses will be enhanced, and he will be immune to sneak attacks and mental attacks.

Most importantly, a stronger soul will better match the physical body, making the entire physique more harmonious and perfect. This will not only double one's strength but also facilitate future breakthroughs and advancements.

"I have never encountered a top-tier internal energy cultivation method of our time. I've heard that the ultimate physical state achieved through top-tier internal energy cultivation methods is beneficial for attaining innate true qi. I wonder what the ultimate state of my Six Paths Method is like!"

"If you possess either innate strength or innate body refinement, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort in other matters."

Wang Sheng's thoughts wandered, and he made many connections.

Right now, besides improving his strength as much as possible, the most important thing for him is to find the possibility of breaking through the innate level.

The methods of cultivating innate internal strength are almost entirely monopolized by the upper echelons.

Unable to find any clues or pathways to the innate methods, Wang Sheng had no choice but to seek refuge with a powerful force.

The innate stage corresponding to body refinement, Wang Sheng's Eight-Line Horizontal Breathing Technique, consists of eight lines: skin, tendons, flesh, bones, blood, five internal organs, head, and soul.

The top-tier body-refining method in the He family's possession is incomplete. It lacks a subsequent method for breaking through to the innate body-refining stage.

Wang Sheng obtained six top-tier body-refining methods from the Great Tomb, which was also from Yuan Wang. All of them were innate body-refining methods.

Therefore, if Wang Sheng wants to break through to the Innate Realm through body refinement, he still needs to cultivate another top-level body refinement method.

The Xuan Tian Nine Revolutions Divine Roc Technique is already underway.

"The method for cultivating innate internal energy needs to be found, and one should join a powerful force. The method for cultivating innate body refinement also requires time to master."

"Furthermore, the Eight-Line Horizontal Breathing Technique must not be interrupted. Without finding the innate method, one cannot break through to the innate level. The only option is to constantly find ways to enhance one's strength; one cannot stop."

"If possible, we should continue to cultivate the internal energy techniques. The effects of the extreme states at the combined energy stage are different, and the combined power of these extreme states is astonishing, and should not be inferior to top-tier techniques!"

Wang Sheng muttered to himself.

suddenly,

A commotion and noise came from outside.

"Have the villagers returned?"

"Something seems off about them!"

"Stiff movements, red eyes... Could it have turned into a zombie?"

Wang Sheng noticed the shouts and commotion from many people.
