I am Jinshan Youxia

"coming."

Zhang Chengyi didn't have to wait long. Once inside Earth's range, the two grandmasters found their positions and accelerated their freefall. Within a minute or two, they could be seen plummeting rapidly amidst the dazzling flames.

It's also related to the fact that he didn't conceal his location at all. If he was determined not to be found, no one could possibly locate him by his aura.

This isn't a matter of strength, but rather his confidence as the progenitor of Qi.

The meteor-like flames seemed to have burned out, ceasing to burn a few hundred meters in the air. Two figures appeared on either side of Zhang Chengyi in a flash, and they attacked without a word.

The same tactic as Guo Jing's was to gather his inner energy, strengthen his body, and not give him any chance to use his interference with the energy to launch a sneak attack.

"boom!"

Zhang Chengyi raised his hand to block the two men's attack, but was knocked into the air. Suddenly, a white ball shot out from his sleeve, tightly binding the two men and pulling him back, tying him to them.

The three of them exerted their strength together and landed with a thud. White clumps kept surging out from the ground and covered them all in the blink of an eye.

[Constitution] [True Qi]

The moment Zhang Chengyi detected the data, he reduced the two people's physical condition and true energy to the minimum, removed the white ball, and easily knocked them unconscious.

"The so-called 'intention' in this world is not essentially a spiritual power, but rather the control of one's own consciousness and bodily instincts. It is a subtle skill, and even at this fantastical level, it has not incorporated anything like the soul."

He reaffirmed that he probably couldn't learn how to use the word '意'.

There's no other reason than that the body logged into through the modifier's abilities is too far removed from the user's control, making it impossible to manipulate with fine precision. This has nothing to do with computing power; it's the modifier's limitation on the level of control it exerts over the logged-in 'game'.

Don't be fooled by the fact that his clones are all micro-management masters. His original body, the modifier, has never trained or grown. After transmigrating and becoming the modifier, he stayed in the void, gradually mastered some instincts, and then began to log into various worlds, becoming addicted to living in each world.

If it weren't for the fact that his physical body could still constantly make him feel the emptiness of nothingness, he could even ignore the existence of his physical body.

'Intention' requires the ultimate control of the body from consciousness. His consciousness and soul do not exist at all, and the control of the body is limited. It would be a miracle if one could master 'intention'.

Fortunately, after merging with the white ball, his method of dealing with these grandmasters was very simple and brutal: he would pull them together and have them enveloped by the white ball, thus erasing their attributes.

The sudden disappearance of a large amount of true energy and physical qualities is a devastating blow to the 'intention'. The 'intention' that integrates the body must reach a certain level of physical quality in order to exert a high degree of interference on the body. At worst, it can only cause a couple of knee-jerk reactions, leaving these Tianlong martial arts masters helpless.

"This is a huge flaw. After the physical attributes are weakened, the failure of 'intention' will cause grandmasters who have long relied on 'intention' to manipulate their bodies to become rigid..."

While Zhang Chengyi was once again provoking the masters observing the moon, he was also studying how to improve the Tianlong martial arts.

Anyway, I'm just idling around.

In many worlds, spells that weaken a target's physical attributes in an instant are common. Even if mutated true energy can resist them, some curse-type spells will still be effective.

The martial arts of the Tianlong world can rapidly spread to the universe within a hundred years because the integrated 'intention' can naturally manipulate the body. This is different from Wu Yazi's subtle control of the body by suppressing inner demons through his own consciousness, but it is just as effective and there is no difference between them.

The condensed 'intention' is the inner demon, only a simpler and harmless one, allowing masters to indirectly exert subtle control over the body.

Everything related to the body, even cultivation and calculation, can be replaced by condensed 'intention', which is too convenient.

No wonder the martial arts of Tianlong, like the Ascension, surpassed the martial arts system built by countless geniuses over countless years in just a century.

These martial arts masters of the third rank or above are like transmigrators with smart chips, they've all been given a cheat code just like him, it would be strange if they couldn't take off.

When Zhang Chengyi created it, he envisioned something similar to the sword intent in the TV series "Storm Riders." Who the hell could have imagined that these martial artists would be trained into artificial intelligence?

"It's not difficult to eliminate 'intention,' but then it would be impossible to control the body conveniently. I'm afraid it's not that no one thought there would be a problem, but it's just unnecessary. So, it has developed to this point, a wrong path, a completely wrong path."

He frowned as he analyzed the two unconscious grandmasters. After their physical condition and true energy recovered, their 'intention' immediately awakened them, read their data, reduced their attributes again, and they fell into a coma again.

It's clear that the two of them are completely inseparable from 'Yi' (意).

They are truly strong, but their flaws are also fatal. Their strongest "intention" is actually their weakest point. If a way could be found to interfere with their "intention," even an eight-year-old child could probably kill a grandmaster with a short sword.

"How could Wu Yazi have allowed martial arts with such significant flaws to develop to this point..."

Zhang Chengyi vaguely sensed the problem. If even he could easily discover the fatal flaws in a martial arts system, how could a martial arts master like Wu Yazi, who had genuinely overcome his inner demons, not have noticed them?

In battles between equally strong individuals, it's never about who has the longer strengths, but about who has the shorter weaknesses. 'Intent' is clearly a shortcut to creating a strong opponent with weaknesses.

Why do we insist on dragging the whole world down this shortcut, and why are all the masters not on Earth? Is there something wrong with the universe?

He made a reasonable conjecture.

-----------------

The moon, the lunar palace.

"Your Majesty, that demon is still watching, perhaps..."

The armored man knelt on one knee, saying, "Your subject humbly requests that you descend upon the Divine Continent to vanquish the demons."

"If those two can't handle it, are you sure you'll be alright?" Xiao Feng, dressed in a yellow robe, sat in a chair, his expression authoritative without being angry. He slowly stood up, looked at Yue Fei in white robes descending from the sky, and asked with a smile:

"How's the situation on the other side of the sun?"

Yue Fei said with a solemn expression, "Senior Wu Yazi said that they can only continue the blockade for another ten years. After ten years, the spiritual energy tide will be unstoppable, and at that time..."

Xiao Feng sighed silently, and the surrounding天地气 (heaven and earth energy) trembled and twisted with the fluctuations of his emotions.

The next second, he wiped away his chaotic emotions and calmly said, "It is suspected that a Grandmaster Demon has been born in Shenzhou."

Yue Fei's expression froze for a moment, then he said in a deep voice, "If the Five Elements Formation is broken, Huang Yaoshi will surely sacrifice his blood for the Divine Continent. I cannot possibly be unaware of this."

Xiao Feng transmitted what had just happened through his true energy, saying, "You should go there. If it really is a Grandmaster demon, then perhaps things have changed in the Divine Continent..."

"Yes." Yue Fei knelt on one knee, his voice drawn out, and then the phantom of him kneeling on the ground disappeared.

Chapter 392 Planetary Disaster

"?"

The moment Yue Fei landed, he saw Zhang Chengyi standing quietly on the ground waiting for him, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Could it be that the terrifying Kingsoft Ranger from back then has also turned into a demon?

"Yo." Zhang Chengyi raised his hand in greeting, "Long time no see."

Yue Fei instinctively tried to dodge, his muscles reacting accordingly, but he abruptly stopped. He was almost killed on the spot back then, and the psychological trauma still lingers in his instincts.

"Are you Zhang Chengyi, the wandering knight of Jinshan, or a demon?" he asked solemnly.

Zhang Chengyi shrugged. "Come on, if I were a demon, would I be wasting my breath talking to you?"

"Tell me what exactly happened. How did Xiao Feng and the others end up in outer space?"

Outer space? Beyond the heavens?

Yue Fei mentally compared the unfamiliar words to the demons, then focused his gaze. If it really was a demon, he should have felt a strong aura at such close range.

"Huh?" There was nothing there. This eerie feeling was truly unsettling. The person opposite seemed like an empty shell, completely devoid of any 'intention'. Their body was loose, as if they had never cultivated any intention. Even the slightest interference—

"Whoosh!" The swirling energy of heaven and earth rushed over, and although he could have easily shattered it, he instinctively dodged it.

Zhang Chengyi said with an unfriendly expression, "Alright, tell me what exactly happened."

"It really is you!" Yue Fei exclaimed in surprise.

The senior Wu Yazi had told him about trying to use 'intention' to perceive and control the Kingsoft Ranger, and it was exactly the same.

The dignified Martial Ancestor, a senior expert who developed the martial will, actually failed to condense even the slightest bit of martial will.

That's really surprising.

Yue Fei glanced at the two imperial guards who were unconscious on the ground. He could understand them. When they encountered a master who seemed normal but whose intentions could not be detected, they would naturally think that the other party was a powerful demon who could deceive their senses.

I guess he didn't even try to control the other person's body before he was beaten to the ground.

Seeing Zhang Chengyi raise the ball again, a terrifying energy sphere formed from a mixture of heaven and earth energy and true energy rapidly expanding, he immediately spoke:

"Senior Zhang, you should know about the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, right?"

In his mind, not long after the appearance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Jinshan Youxia went into seclusion and disappeared for more than a hundred years without any news. He was a true old-fashioned person.

Zhang Chengyi rolled his eyes. Whether it's clever or not, he created it all. Does he need to waste words?

However, it's no wonder there's no record of the Martial Ancestor creating spiritual energy; neither Wu Yazi nor Su Xinghe should have mentioned it publicly.

Seeing this, Yue Fei continued to explain: "At the beginning of the spiritual energy revival, humans were the first to benefit. Under the guidance of the martial arts manuals you left behind, their martial arts continued to break through. Then came birds and beasts. Living in an environment rich in spiritual energy for a long time, they became martial beasts that could roughly use true energy, and their intelligence improved."

"Next come the mountains and rivers, which are imbued with spiritual energy, constantly transforming vegetation and the remains of life into spiritual energy."

"Have you ever considered what changes this world will ultimately undergo under the influence of spiritual energy?"

“I told you to speak, not to ask,” Zhang Chengyi said expressionlessly.

He has the life and death of an entire world on his shoulders; he doesn't have time to play guessing games with a boring guy.

Playing with dogs doesn't count. As a savior, playing with dogs to relieve his stress is also contributing to his great mission of saving the world.

Seeing that the other party ignored his leading questions, Yue Fei felt rather bored and said directly, "A large amount of spiritual energy was ejected, which changed everything in this world."

"About twenty years ago, natural disasters occurred frequently in various parts of Shenzhou. Senior Wuyazi traveled around and eventually discovered that the ever-flowing spiritual energy beneath the earth was the culprit behind everything."

"There is a subtle force that attracts each other between this world and the various worlds beyond the heavens. The presence of spiritual energy changes this attraction. First, natural disasters occurred continuously. Then, people in some places would fly into the air, while people in other places would be sucked to the ground and unable to move, crushed into a pulp..."

He continued to speak eloquently, revealing secrets that he would not discuss with most people below the level of a Grandmaster.

In summary, it boils down to one thing:

The world (planet) is going to be destroyed.

Not only Earth, but other planets are also undergoing a gravitational dance due to the influence of spiritual energy. If it weren't for a large number of grandmasters suppressing them with arrays, they would have collided with each other long ago.

Even more significant is the sun, with a massive accumulation of spiritual energy, threatening to unleash a devastating tide of spiritual energy, just like the light and heat it releases.

So, it was spiritual energy that broke the gravitational pull between the planets? The planets, soaked in spiritual energy, are all in turmoil, trying to turn the solar system into a bumper car zone? The sun, unable to stand by and watch, decides to quell the conflict in the simplest and most brutal way?

Zhang Chengyi translated for his own amusement, but then he got a headache.

It sounds less dangerous than the world of Inuyasha, at least not to the point of world collapse, but a natural disaster involving a galaxy or even more planets is no joke.

They can't solve it in a short time, even if Gaia comes, it's impossible to solve it in a short time.

The white ball can cover the Earth or other planets and remove the spiritual energy that disturbs the planet's operation, but it cannot cover the sun.

As a white dumpling that allows him to do whatever he wants in the Inuyasha world, he is not strong in essence; in fact, he can be said to be quite weak. Inuyasha can wipe out a large number of them with a single wave of his hand.

Its strength lies in the infinite accumulation of numbers and the unsolvable nature of the modifier mechanism.

However, the white ball of energy would suffer intense pain if it tried to enter space without dying. This thing is life force, not a spacesuit. Even if Zhang Chengyi could endure the pain and let the white ball of energy spread in space, how could it get close to and envelop the sun?

If the goal is to make the white ball of light completely envelop the entire star system, including the sun, time will be a major issue.

Even if the white balls could multiply infinitely, Zhang Chengyi's ability to control their spread was limited. It had taken a long time to cover the Earth in the Inuyasha world, and he had to completely envelop the sun. How long would it take to gradually coordinate with the white balls? How much of his consciousness would it take to completely control such a large mass of white balls?
