As the cruiser left, Wang Baole could no longer see Spirit Breath Village or the blurry fragment mountain. After a long while, he retracted his gaze. When he closed his eyes, he felt the spirit meridians in his body.
Wang Baole deeply understood the principle that one's wealth would arouse the envy of others. Therefore, he had to hide his true spirit root. After all, eight inches was the known limit. The sudden appearance of him, who could be said to be ten inches, would cause an unimaginable storm.
If he had a strong background, he might be able to survive this storm. However, it was obvious that he did not have that. Once he was exposed, Wang Baole could imagine what kind of path lay before him.
"Believe in kindness, but don't gamble on kindness!" This was a line from the high officials' autobiographies. Wang Baole did not understand it when he was young, but as he grew older, he gradually understood it.
Not long after, Wang Baole took a deep breath and suppressed these secrets. He took out a bag of snacks and ate them as he walked back into the cruiser. Perhaps snacks could make people feel better. After finishing the bag, Wang Baole thought of his gains and the fact that he was about to enter Upper Academy Island. Therefore, he was in a good mood. He hummed a tune and went to find someone he knew to chat with.
The first place he went was Chen Ziheng's room. However, after breaking through to True Breath, Chen Ziheng was stabilizing himself and did not have time to care about Wang Baole. Wang Baole had no choice but to look for Du Min.
In the beginning, the two of them talked peacefully. However, after Wang Baole let himself loose, Du Min was speechless. Finally, she roared.
"Damn fatty, get out of my way!"
Wang Baole rubbed his nose. He felt that Du Min's temper was too bad, so he quickly left. After thinking for a while, he went to look for Zhuo Yifan. After realizing that Zhuo Yifan was also in seclusion, Wang Baole scratched his head and decided to go to Zhao Yameng's room.
However, he had no choice but to leave Zhao Yameng's room. After arriving at Zhao Yameng's room, Zhao Yameng sat there without saying a word. No matter what Wang Baole said, it was the same. This made Wang Baole feel that he was talking to himself, which was very awkward and boring.
Helpless, Wang Baole felt that he should go back and cultivate. However, at that moment, he received a notice from the Chancellor, asking him to describe the location of the corpse on the fragment mountain.
When he arrived, they were not the only ones in the Chancellor's room. The red-faced elder was also there. There were even a few unfamiliar cultivators looking at Wang Baole.
Apart from them, Zhao Yameng, Zhuo Yifan, and Chen Mingyu also arrived quickly. Following the Chancellor's questions, the four of them spoke one after another and described the altar where the corpse was.
As for how they had obtained the corpse, they also spoke about it. Zhao Yameng had relied on a secret technique and paid a huge price to get one of the corpses.
Wang Baole, on the other hand, hid some things. He only said that there had been an unforeseen event. The surrounding fog had spread, the statue had appeared, and the strange face had appeared. Then, it had been suppressed, causing the ground to become unstable, and he had used the puppet to scout the way. He had already thought of all these excuses on his way back.
"That blue spear was fake. To think that I had thought it was a divine weapon. How infuriating." Wang Baole's words were almost all true. The only thing missing was the mask and the blue pearl. It was very difficult for anyone to detect any flaws in his explanation. As for saying that the spear was fake, there was no need to hide it. On the other hand, Wang Baole was also worried that the Dao College would have a way to infiltrate and investigate. Hence, there was no point in lying here.
"Blue spear?" The Chancellor's expression changed slightly. The red-faced elder sitting cross-legged behind him looked at the unfamiliar cultivators around him. When he saw them nod, he smiled. If Wang Baole had not said that the blue spear was fake, there would have been a problem.
"That is indeed fake!"
"In fact, this is not the first blue spear phantom that our four Dao Colleges have discovered!" Someone among the unfamiliar cultivators said in a low voice.
"So far, we have discovered three other locations among the other fragments. Each of them had a statue and that strange face!"
"The blue spears on these three altars all dissipated without exception after the surrounding corpses were taken away. According to our research, they are projections condensed from some kind of power that we cannot control. They have a suppressive power. Unfortunately, we were unable to obtain them. Furthermore, most of the corpses were damaged. Although they have reference value, they cannot be compared to what we have obtained this time!"
Hearing their words, Wang Baole's heart trembled. He had not expected that the four Dao Colleges had actually discovered the altars where the blue spears were. At the same time, a strange feeling rose within him.
Could it be that they did not obtain the blue pearl? Could it be that I am the only one who obtained it? Wang Baole's heart raced. He suddenly recalled that he had relied on the suction force of his devouring seed to obtain the blue pearl.
The change in Wang Baole's train of thought attracted the attention of the red-faced elder. Could it be that the blue spears did not dissipate, but condensed under the suction force of my devouring seed and turned into pearls? He looked over in surprise.
"Grandpa, if the blue spears are projections, could it be … that there really is such a spear hidden in a place that we do not know about? If there really is such a spear, then it is probably a divine weapon." Sensing the gaze of the red-faced elder, Wang Baole took a deep breath and said.
The red-faced elder did not see through Wang Baole's concealment. When he first learned of this matter, he was similarly shocked and puzzled. Hearing this, he smiled.
"Divine weapon? How can there be so many divine weapons? To date, there is only one divine weapon in the entire Federation. It belongs to the four Dao Colleges and is used by every president of the Federation. It is the ultimate treasure of the Federation! " The red-faced elder smiled. He would not have said such things, but he found Wang Baole pleasing to the eye, so he explained.
"There is only one divine weapon!" Wang Baole's eyes widened. Chen Mingyu, who was beside him, was clearly hearing this for the first time as well. They were both stunned. However, Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng didn't seem too surprised. It was obvious that they had already known about it.
The red-faced elder smiled and did not continue talking about the divine weapon. After asking the four of them for more details, he let them leave.
Even when he returned to his room, Wang Baole was still shocked.
"There is only one divine weapon in the entire Federation?" At this moment, Wang Baole finally understood the value of a divine weapon. His eyes slowly revealed his desire and longing.
Now, he already knew some information that ordinary people in the Federation did not know. For example, there were four Dao Colleges in the Federation. These four Dao Colleges had formed an alliance with each other and formed a powerful force in the Federation.
Almost half of the Federation officials were from the four Dao Colleges. At the same time, both the previous and current Federation Presidents were from the four Dao Colleges.
It could be said that to a certain extent, the four Dao Colleges had the power to decide the president's selection. Previously, Wang Baole did not understand the reason behind this. Now, he understood. It was because … among all the forces in the Federation, there was only one divine weapon, and it belonged to the four Dao Colleges!
And to a certain extent, the Federation President could even be said to be the spokesperson of the four Dao Colleges. However, there was also a power that kept the four Dao Colleges in check. That was the equally powerful Senate!
Although Wang Baole did not know their specific functions, he could roughly guess. The four Dao Colleges decided the president's selection, and the Senate decided the Federation's national policy!
They fought against each other, but they could not leave each other. This was because there were other forces that kept them in check, and there were countless ferocious beasts on the outside!
At that thought, Wang Baole took a deep breath. Although there were many things that he did not understand, and some of these were his own guesses, he knew that as he stepped onto Upper Academy Island, the mysterious veil of the entire Federation would be lifted before him!
"How much do they know about the Never-Ending Clan … and how much do they know about the origins of this sword …
"Since corpses have been found, then … have they found any living people?
"Also, has anyone from the Federation stepped onto … the ancient greenish-bronze sword that pierced the sun?" Wang Baole's eyes were filled with longing. He had even asked Zhuo Yifan about the sorcery of the Five Generation Sky Clan's previous incarnation. Regarding this, Zhuo Yifan's explanation was somewhat mysterious. It seemed to be a secret technique that the Five Generation Sky Clan had discovered from the shard. It was also the foundation of the world. The so-called previous incarnation that was summoned was not one's own body, but the source of the Spirit Root!
Even if one had not attained the True Breath realm, as long as one had a Spirit Root in their body, they would be able to use it. However, Zhuo Yifan's mastery was clearly not as good as Zhuo Yixian's, so he could not achieve this.
"There are also many ancient sword shards … the moon and other planets. I wonder what they look like!" Wang Baole looked at the sky outside the cruiser, full of anticipation.
Time passed, and soon, a day had passed. As the cruiser descended from the sky, the Green Forest Lake could be seen in the distance.
At that moment, in the center of Ethereal City, one of the seventeen main cities of the Federation, there was a moat that was about three hundred feet wide. It separated this place from Ethereal City and circled around it, forming an … inner city!
This place was not only the inner city of Ethereal City, but also … the property of one of the seventeen Senators of the Federation, the City Lord of Ethereal City!
The area within the moat was astonishing. It was the size of dozens of huge manors. From afar, the retro castle in the middle was even more eye-catching. It was surrounded by birds, flowers, and exotic trees. It was a dazzling sight.
There were also ponds, artificial mountains, and many ancient castles that surrounded the castle. In the entire inner city, regardless of whether it was the stone slabs on the ground, the surrounding buildings, or the moat outside, all of them contained array patterns, causing the entire place to be enveloped in an array formation.
And these were only the things that could be seen with the naked eye. One could imagine that there were many more defenses and killer moves that outsiders could not see in the inner city.
At the same time, there were also a large number of guards in black armor patrolling the area. Every single one of them had a strong aura. There were also a large number of attendants, chefs, musicians, servants, and so on. They were all busy in the inner city. It was as if the meaning of their lives was only to serve the family of the owner of the castle until they died.
At that moment, behind the main castle, there was a forbidden area that outsiders could not enter without the permission of the owner. There was an ancient tree that was dozens of feet tall. The tree crown was lush and covered an area of several thousand feet. There were also countless branches that drooped down. Amid the greenery, one could vaguely see green fruits that had not yet ripened.
There were two people standing under the ancient tree. One of them was Lin Tianhao. His expression was gloomy as he looked ahead. He wanted to say something many times but stopped himself. The person he was looking at was a middle-aged man in a black tuxedo. His back was facing Lin Tianhao as he looked up at the fruits on the tree, seemingly lost in thought.
The man was tall and straight. Even though he was middle-aged, there were only a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. If one did not look closely, one would think that he was a young man. However, the aura he gave off was as deep and unfathomable as the sea. Occasionally, he would even give off a hint of pressure that caused the surrounding Spirit Qi to fluctuate.
