Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

"Three Saints, they're indeed preparing something. I originally thought it was targeted at me, but now it seems to have a greater impact on the cultivators of the Heavenly Saint Star itself, Fierce Sun Sect, Heavenly Wolf Sect, according to Xia Yang's memory, are all top-notch sects..."

He was not afraid but knew well the principle that knowledge of oneself and the enemy is the key to victory in a hundred battles.

"If it really comes to it, then let Xia Yang develop millions of believers and descend once more with the power of the Ninth Realm to overpower our foes."

While Wang Sheng was contemplating, he felt as if he was being watched by a gaze from somewhere.

The key point was that the force observing him was not strong, in fact, it could be considered weak.

"Who dares to spy on me!"

He didn't hesitate and immediately traced the source.

Suddenly, he seemed to enter an endless river, with the watching gaze originating from within it.

"This is..."

Wang Sheng advanced in the direction of the gaze that was spying on him.

But after just one step, he stopped.

"Has my life span decreased?"

One's life span diminishes with each passing second, but just now, it was clearly not a normal reduction.

Just one step, and he had expended several days' worth of life span.

"The gaze spying on me is not far away; it might be worth trying..."

He had already repelled the gaze that was upon him, but the cause and effect were connected, and he had pinpointed its origin.

If a few years, or even a few decades of life span could unravel the secret, it would definitely be worth it.

However, as he took the second step, he found himself, in a daze, back to reality and unable to find a way to enter again.

"..."

Wang Sheng fell into deep thought; though it was but a fleeting moment, he had some guesses about that place.

"A river of time and space?"

He articulated his own guess deliberately.

The rapid depletion of his life span pointed to only one possibility.

Being ejected clearly indicated that the balance of time and space forbade any disruption.

But—

"The one who spied on me, why would they be downstream in the river of time and space? If I'm not mistaken, it should belong to a few years in the future... How did they manage to do that?"

If it was from the distant future, he could understand.

Someone from a few years later spying on his current self across time and space?

He pondered his own situation, arriving at the most likely guess.

"The Heavenly Saint Star... If that's the case, then this isn't a small secret at all..."

The only recent change was the Heavenly Saint Star.

Hence his suspicion.

Of course, even with speculation, he was still very curious.

Who could it be that is able to spy from the future back into the past!

What Wang Sheng did not know was that, at the moment he repelled the spying gaze, in the Ziwei Sect of the Heavenly Saint Star, a powerful individual spat out a mouthful of blood, causing a surge in the surrounding energy.

However, this person did not feel sad because of the injury; instead, he smiled.

"There's hope now!"

The stronger the person they saw, the greater the likelihood of their being saved.

"Really?"

There were also several powerhouses around him, some incredulous, already somewhat despondent.

"Really, I saw his figure..."

"Do you know the identity?"

The blood-spitting Ziwei Sect powerhouse hesitated a moment, recalling the figure he had seen, and said, "I only heard the word 'Wu Sheng,' as if beings were chanting his name..."

"Wu Sheng, I'll remember that..."

Although the ambiance was oppressive, the hearts of those present eased, seeing hope meant they could still hold on.

But what no one noticed was that the complexion of the injured strongman flickered uncertainly.

"From the angle I saw, it seemed to be looking upstream from downstream... which means..."

He had foreseen his own fate.

Even if this powerhouse named "Wu Sheng" should appear, he might not be rescued.

He glanced at his fellow practitioners... and decided to bury this matter deep within his heart.

...

Time passed unknowingly, and two years went by.

Wang Sheng's progress in "Refining God and Returning to Void, Immortal Embryo" had reached twenty percent with the support of a vast amount of dispersed spiritual power and Life Essence Qi.

His strength had improved considerably, and his Primordial Spirit had also transformed.

Entering the Mud Pill Palace, his Primordial Spirit would gradually evolve into an Immortal Embryo. When the Immortal Embryo was nurtured and born, he would enter the next phase.

However, he was still far from that realm at the moment.

It was not something that could be achieved overnight.

Therefore, he required more Virtual Worlds to cover more worlds.

As two years passed, the 80th anniversary of the Great Unity was approaching.

And at this time, Xia Yang's development was also quite well.

Both the Yin Yue Dynasty and the Long Shan Dynasty were under his control, and the Lifeless Sect had already spread across the two countries.

But the growth in believers was not as fast.

A few hundred thousand believers increased in a year because there was oppression overhead.

Once the oppression was gone and life improved, the need for faith was not as high.

Therefore, the growth rate was not as quick as imagined.

Wang Sheng hadn't anticipated this.

Of course, with Xia Yang's efforts, the number of believers had reached the requirement a few days ago.

He had successively descended with power, forming an avatar of the Eighth Realm in the Faith World.

"Yuan, are you there?"

His Eighth Realm avatar could defeat any adversary of the Eighth Realm.

But the Heavenly Saint Star was somewhat peculiar, even involving the river of time and space, so he needed an assurance.

And this assurance was Yuan.

If Dao Lords could coordinate with the will of the Chaotic Realm to transmit the Ninth Realm's power, then he naturally could too.

[I'm here!]

"The method I gave you two years ago, have you thoroughly researched it?"

[Of course, and I am confident.]

"Then let's try it out, if it works, I'm going to act!"

The Eighth Realm's avatar had already been condensed and was ready to act, just waiting for Yuan's word.

[Right away!]

Yuan immediately began the attempt, and before long, he sent back a message.

[There were some unexpected issues...]

"Did you fail?" Wang Sheng frowned; this wasn't safe. Such a method could only be used once.

[No, I succeeded, but there's something off about the Heavenly Saint Star. The planet seems intact, but in reality, it has been divided into three layers. These three layers blend together to form an inexplicable shell; the time I can invade is shorter than expected.]

"There is indeed a problem!" Wang Sheng was not surprised, "No worries, as long as it's successful, how long can you hold on?"

[About a quarter of an hour!]

"That's enough!"

An enemy that couldn't be resolved in fifteen minutes was one they could try to abandon.

Without hesitation, Wang Sheng attempted to descend.
