Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

For example, a broken cup could be restored to its original state.

For Wang Sheng, this was somewhat of a triviality.

After all, even without the Time-Space Retrospection, he could achieve these effects.

But the significance it represented was far more than just that.

He had reason to believe that if the level was high enough, it could achieve extremely terrifying things.

Revival... Returning an entire region back to its original state.

Therefore, he took great interest in the passage of time, just as he did with the cosmos and the God-slaying Sword.

Time, space, causality.

Any one of these could occupy all of a cultivator's energy, but Wang Sheng, having a progress bar, felt he might get a bit greedy.

He wanted them all!

Under the premise of ensuring his cultivation, he wanted to cultivate each to an extreme.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be doing justice to his progress bar.

Thus, every day was exceptionally fulfilling for him, as if he'd recaptured the feeling of his initial cultivation.

His cultivation levels, Divine Skills, knowledge, all saw significant progress.

Besides that, what surprised Wang Sheng the most was the Faith World that had branched out from the Virtual World.

In three years' time, with Da Tong's support, Lifeless Sect had already become a colossal entity.

It had countless believers.

Although the vast majority of the believers were such that they casually followed without much commitment, they still provided a certain level of faith.

Such casual believers were extremely numerous across the three worlds, and their accumulated faith became quite formidable.

Wang Sheng poured all of it into the original Faith World.

This initial faith, absorbing the beliefs from three worlds, had grown incredibly vast, covering the entire Source Star, not smaller than the Virtual World.

And due to the massive influx of faith, the Faith World became exceedingly robust.

Only the power of the Ninth Realm could barely shake it.

"It's really unexpected that it could grow to such an extent..."

Originally, the Faith World was something Wang Sheng had created inadvertently, but its growth to such an extent was still a shock to him.

"The Virtual World, due to the birth of the Heavenly Saint Star, gained an excess of scattered spiritual power, therefore expanding greatly, and even if one or two more worlds were added, it could completely cover them, making this Faith World unnecessary... Since that's the case, the Faith World should act as the true Divine Country of the Lifeless Sect..."

The Faith World was useful, previously shown in its intrusion into other worlds.

Wang Sheng did not want to confine it to idleness.

He wanted to try and remodel it, to turn it into the source for all future Faith Worlds.

"Since it's a Divine Country, then the Holy Spirits guarding the Divine Country are necessary. Creating Holy Spirits using the power of faith, these Holy Spirits can be summoned by devout believers, serving as protection for the believers.

If we're using Holy Spirits as guards, then what about Divine Arts? Could a new system be constructed using faith, where devout believers could use Divine Arts through prayer, whether for healing or combat, whatever the function, it can attract more followers and make actions in the new worlds smoother..."

Wang Sheng began remodeling the Faith World.

Since keeping it idle was of no use, might as well recycle the waste.

Just as he began the remodeling,

Heavenly Saint Star, Fifth Realm forces, Shui Family.

The Heavenly Saint Star's Lifeless Sect had an extremely high number of believers, second only to Source Star.

After all, all cultivators of Heavenly Saint Star knew, Lifeless True Saint had lifted them out of dire straits.

Ancestor of the Shui Family was one of them, and also a particularly devout and fervent believer.

Generally speaking, cultivators rarely worshipped any deity.

In the eyes of cultivators, deities were just individuals with strong cultivation.

Even for Lifeless True Saint, it was the same.

They respected and revered, but few truly believed, and even fewer cultivators had deep faith.

But the ancestor of the Shui Family was different.

He belonged to the "Former Life".

"Former Life," within the entire Heavenly Saint Star, was a very special existence, as such individuals had only fifty years left to live.

Many cultivators couldn't accept this, hence they rebelled.

Da Tong expended a lot of effort to suppress them, even having prodigies from two other worlds come each year for experience.

The Shui ancestor did not rebel, because he was already close to his limit, with only a few years left of his lifespan. Fifty years—he wouldn't even live that long.

But he didn't want to give up just like that.

He heard about the Divine Country of Lifeless Sect and believed there was a chance to enter the Divine Country after death.

Living alternatively, was also a way to survive, hence he began to believe in the Lifeless Sect.

As a result, his belief truly turned him into a devout follower.

To this day, he no longer had any obsession with entering the Divine Country.

And he was also at death's door.

Ascending to the Fifth Realm, beings gained over a thousand years of lifespan, and he had many descendants, also serving as the pillar of the family.

As he was about to die, all his descendants gathered.

"After I die, you all must restrain yourselves, avoid being conspicuous, and also have no need to worry. Da Tong's laws are strict, rival families will not dare to attack you... If someone causes trouble, let them suffer the consequences, and do not shield them..."

The ancestor of the Shui Family said a lot, mainly about what the family should do after his death.

His descendants were deeply saddened.

"Ancestor, rest assured, you have led a benevolent life, our family has no enemies, rather we have many friends..."

The ancestor was a generous man, although the path to prominence involved blood and fire, it was all fair competition.

Even the laws of Da Tong couldn't critique anything.

In other aspects, the ancestor also liked to invest, and many prodigies had benefitted from him, even after his death, the Shui Family would not face trouble.

"Ancestor, after your death, you will surely enter the True Saint's Divine Country..."

Everyone in the Shui Family knew, the ancestor believed in Lifeless True Saint and wanted to enter the Divine Country after death.
