Where there are cultivators, there are Jianghu, there are games, it has always been this way, without distinguishing right from wrong.
But there are also different levels of games, differing based on individuals’ understanding of the rules of society.
They can generally be divided into three categories.
The first mentality can be described as “I must be right, you must be wrong; I must win, you must lose,” filled with an atmosphere of defeating the enemy, a life-and-death struggle.
The second can be described as “no matter what, I must win, whether you win or lose is irrelevant to me,” this level of game is self-oriented, ignoring other factors.
The third can be described as “not only do I want to win, you also must win, if only I win, I would rather not win,” this is the level of win-win game thinking.
Of course, this classification is not absolute and varies depending on different occasions and events.
As an individual, Su Hao first considers his own goals. Before achieving them, there won’t be too much other thinking, so he can be categorized as the second level. However, while achieving his goals, he is very willing to achieve a win-win situation with others or, in other words, to achieve a win-win situation with the world.
Under certain conditions, Su Hao touches upon a hint of the third level, but it’s just a touch, far from ‘if only I win, I would rather not win’…
Su Hao estimates that he won’t reach this level!
After all, he is different from ordinary people. If his life were only a hundred years, perhaps he would pursue the absolute ‘win-win’ of the third level, but unfortunately, he isn’t. Creating a win-win situation is extremely pleasing to him, but ultimately it’s not his purpose.
…
Another two months later, Su Hao opened his eyes from cultivation.
At this point, although the spiritual power in his body has not been completely refined into the naturally compliant Nascent Soul spiritual power, it has already completed the initial transformation and reached a usable level.
In a few days, it will be time to report the progress to Feng Qianye as agreed upon. Before that, Su Hao needs to find a place to test the quality of his current spiritual power.
With a thought, Su Hao remembered that he had buried a positioning stone in Lingsha Continent before. Now, more than two years have passed, and the positioning ability of that stone has weakened slightly. It is estimated that it will be completely ineffective in another six or seven years.
Previously, Su Hao made a batch of new positioning stones with longer lifespan. Since he remembered Lingsha Continent now, it’s a good time to replace the old positioning stone.
Su Hao stood up and moved his limbs, swiftly transforming into the “Child of Fate,” wearing a majestic golden armor. Then, he constructed the ‘Absolute Defense’ formation within the armor, and a thin layer of blue light began to flicker, emitting a unique dark red color exclusive to the Nascent Soul realm, very cool.
Su Hao extended his right hand, and a long sword extended from it, beginning to inscribe various patterns and formations. In the blink of an eye, it took shape, infused with Nascent Soul spiritual power.
“Hum~”
After a hum, the long sword was engulfed by a faint red light. Su Hao waved it casually, and it was extremely handy.
This is to teleport to Lingsha Continent, where there are many high-level cultivators, and it’s unknown what the situation is. Be prepared for any eventuality.
If I were to teleport over without any preparation, just in time to block the spells of the Unity Realm cultivators, and without enough time to generate the ‘counter-space barrier,’ wouldn’t that be terrible?
Anything is possible, right!
Preparations complete, Su Hao activated the positioning stone.
‘Teleport’!
The next moment, Su Hao disappeared from his original location and appeared in a valley in Lingsha Continent, which was very distant from Yunzhong Wangyue Valley, where Su Hao had previously buried the positioning stone.
The moment Su Hao appeared, he quickly activated the core perception runes with spiritual power. In the next moment, Su Hao’s perception range reached one hundred thousand meters, and the lifeblood and spiritual reactions within a hundred thousand meters were all included in his perception.
“Twenty thousand meters away, there are Nascent Soul cultivators fighting, and there are others hidden observing four thousand meters away. There are scattered cultivators in other places, but overall, they pose little threat to me!”
After confirming safety, Su Hao immediately noticed changes in his radar perception.
“My perception range has reached one hundred thousand meters! This amplification is declining; perhaps it will soon reach the limit distance of the perception runes! After completing the spiritual thought cultivation, the calling of spiritual power becomes more natural and effortless, and the speed of activating the runes has increased significantly.”
With confidence in his perception ability, Su Hao decided to try the amplification effect of spiritual power on his spells.
‘Blink’!
Su Hao appeared on top of a huge rock on the mountain peak. With a gesture, he pointed a finger towards a bald peak directly ahead.
‘Wind Bullet’!
A blue-red light flashed at Su Hao’s fingertip, disappearing in the blink of an eye, crossing a distance of two thousand meters and hitting the bald peak.
“Boom!”
The entire bald peak suddenly shook violently. Where the blast hit, rocks flew and dust scattered. Several seconds later, a loud bang echoed, like a massive amount of TNT explosives detonating.
“Not bad! The amplification of Nascent Soul spiritual power on the wind bullet is extremely strong. Then, let’s try the enhanced version of the wind bullet.”
Yes, this was just an ordinary wind bullet pointed out casually, with decent power.
Su Hao’s spiritual power surged out, his hand moved like a phantom, pointing towards the bald peak from afar.
‘Wind Bullet’!
The second wind bullet was faster than the first, almost as soon as Su Hao pointed his finger, the light flashed, and the attack penetrated into the mountain.
The bald peak trembled violently, swelling abruptly and bursting open, like a hand grenade exploding a watermelon, mud and rocks splattering everywhere.
Seemingly long, but actually just an instant, when he blinked again, the mountain peak was only left with lingering dust.
Su Hao swept his spiritual thought, taking in every detail of the scene on the mountain top.
At this moment, where is the proud posture the bald peak previously had? It’s like a dead volcano after an eruption, the once shining bald top is gone, replaced by a huge pit.
Maybe in the future, with more accumulated water, it could even become a mountaintop lake.
Su Hao chuckled lightly, “Not bad. Compared to the power during the Qi Induction Realm, it’s increased by who knows how much. Breaking through the shield of a Nascent Soul cultivator should be feasible. Next, let’s try the amplification data of other abilities!”
Su Hao flashed and appeared on another peak, testing the remaining two spells he had learned: ‘Wind Spirit Shield’ and ‘Wind Traveling Technique’.
Perhaps Su Hao is the first Nascent Soul cultivator in the cultivation world to master only three basic spells!
Afterward, Su Hao continued to test the amplification effect of Nascent Soul spiritual power on runes, followed by magical instruments, formations, and so on.
Three days later, Su Hao finally stopped and made a summary sentence: “Compared to the spiritual power quality of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it has increased by about three times. Acceptable!”
Then he turned his head to glance in a direction, feeling somewhat strange: “Not seen for two years, why has Lingsha Continent become so chaotic? Just staying here for three days, I’ve sensed more than ten times of cultivators fighting within my perception range, ranging from Foundation Establishment realm to Nascent Soul realm. Could something have happened?”
After some thought, Su Hao felt that no matter what happened, it seemed to have little to do with him.
Focus on cultivating well, enter a state of wholehearted research as soon as possible, and unraveling the mysteries of spiritual power is the right path.
As for the grievances and grievances on this land, they will all be mercilessly smoothed out in the face of new spiritual power technologies, sinking into the river of history.
With this in mind, Su Hao extinguished the thought of going to explore further.
Even if these cultivators are fighting over some treasures, Su Hao temporarily has no interest. He is not the type of miser who is driven by money.
Enough is enough, more is meaningless.
Su Hao took out a new positioning stone, casually inserted it into a mountain, looked around, then teleported away, returning to Yunzhong Wangyue Valley.
Su Hao plans to visit Feng Qianye tomorrow to see what she really wants to do.
Just hope that everything can be discussed calmly and rationally, and no one needs to resort to violence.
Because if things turn violent, the one who will suffer is definitely the other party.
