Bai Xiaowen read through the records on the "Sword Seal" jade scroll.
Thanks to the fact that his mastery of Spiritual Power had reached Proficiency Level 1, Bai Xiaowen mastered the usage of the Sword Seal almost instantly.
He spat out a trace of True Inner Force from his fingertips, and the rune circuits arranged themselves according to the Sword Seal's circuits. Soon, a small transparent sword of light was formed, and the sword of light contained his Spiritual Power imprint.
Just as Bai Xiaowen was experiencing the characteristics of the Sword Seal technique, Chen Rong was extremely shocked.
"You … How did you master the Sword Seal so quickly?" Chen Rong was greatly frustrated. "Even if it's only a level one Dao technique, it's still too exaggerated."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and pretended to be pretentious for once. He did not answer directly, but instead praised, "This Sword Seal is very special. It clearly contains the circuits of the Spiritual Power imprint, which is equivalent to a dual combination sword talisman, but the amount of Spiritual Power consumed is not as high as the original basic sword talisman."
Bai Xiaowen had just tried to use the Sword Seal and only consumed 44 points of True Inner Force, which was 6 points less than the basic sword talisman's 50 points. If Bai Xiaowen's mastery of the Sword Seal was more refined, this consumption would be even lower.
According to Bai Xiaowen's estimation, the Sword Seal at the proficient level would consume at most 20 to 30 points of True Inner Force.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaowen revealed a smile. 20 to 30 points of True Inner Force was less than 1% of his True Inner Force, which was close to 3,000 points of True Inner Force. He could use it as he wished. Because low consumption meant that his Spiritual Power could be replenished quickly.
Chen Rong was interrupted by this and did not ask Bai Xiaowen how he could master the Sword Seal so quickly.
He said proudly, "This is not difficult. The original basic sword talisman pursued a certain degree of lethality, and there was the 'Spirit Edge' rune that increased the damage of Spiritual Power. I remember you said that you did not require lethality, only adding the Spiritual Power imprint and reducing the consumption. So I removed the Spirit Edge rune and other miscellaneous runes, leaving only the main body of the sword talisman. Then, I added the 'Spirit Edge' rune and integrated it into the current Sword Seal. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded in admiration. Shi Mu had also dabbled in the art of magic charms. So, he obviously knew that modifying a magic charm wasn't as simple as a carpenter modifying a piece of furniture. In fact, it was much more precise than a surgeon performing an operation. The unity of the magic charm could be destroyed if the slightest mistake was made.
It was especially difficult to modify a basic talisman like the Basic Sword Talisman, because every basic talisman had been refined thousands of times. Moreover, the Basic Sword Talisman was the foundation of talismans in Shangqing school. To modify the basic sword talisman, one had to be at the level of a master.
The newly acquired "Sword Seal" skill greatly improved Bai Xiaowen. Combined with the Teleportation Transposition – Flying Thunder God, Bai Xiaowen had unparalleled mobility in battle.
Bai Xiaowen did not stay long in Shangqing school. After saying goodbye to Chen Rong, he went to Black Sky Peak to take the Resonance Transmission Array. On the way, he gave a portion of the Thousand Mile Sound Transmitting Talismans to Sig Delifa and returned to his territory with the rest of the Sound Transmitting Talismans and Flying Crane Messenger Talismans.
…
"Captain, you're back?"
Han Xu, who was forging equipment in the blacksmith shop, greeted Bai Xiaowen when he saw him return.
Bai Xiaowen saw that the territory was operating normally and that the busy citizens were still unaware of the dark clouds of war. He nodded slightly and said to Han Xu, "Old Han, let's have a meeting."
When Han Xu saw Bai Xiaowen's serious expression, he knew that something big had happened and hurriedly went to find his other friends who were cultivating in seclusion.
"It seems that everyone has returned safely from the dinosaur planet. That's good. "
Bai Xiaowen didn't need to ask. If someone didn't return, Han Xu would definitely tell him immediately.
Bai Xiaowen then opened the Blue Star Overlord Group.
The declaration of war was sent six hours ago. Bai Xiaowen needed to understand the situation as soon as possible, including the excuse for war from the Heavenly Province Territory and the attitudes of the various forces in the Star Alliance. He needed to formulate countermeasures.
Whoosh. A series of chat records popped up in the public chat area. 99 +.
Bai Xiaowen's private channel was also filled with private chat requests from more than ten Overlords. Looking at the time, it happened to be six hours ago when the Heavenly Province Territory declared war.
Bai Xiaowen chose to look at the chat records first.
After reading, Bai Xiaowen revealed an indescribably strange expression.
First of all, the excuse for war from the Heavenly Province Territory was to "restore the Tang Dynasty"! In the Heavenly Province Territory, there was the successor of the Tang Dynasty Territory, the fourth son of the late Taizong Li Weichen, Li JinEn. He had advanced to an Evolver not long ago and had the qualifications to inherit the Tang Dynasty Territory.
"Just as I guessed, the Heavenly Province Territory's excuse for declaring war is the remnants of the Tang Dynasty Territory, not because of Yuan Lin's death on the dinosaur planet."
Bai Xiaowen continued reading.
All the Overlords could see that the Heavenly Province Territory had an ulterior motive. Restoring the Tang Dynasty Territory was fake, and the real reason was to snatch a vassal territory. However, as the successor of the Tang Dynasty Territory, the Heavenly Province Territory's excuse could be considered legitimate.
To put it bluntly, Bai Xiaowen's previous annexation of the Tang Dynasty Territory was an act of banditry in the eyes of some of the Overlords.
If Bai Xiaowen hadn't annexed the Tang Dynasty Territory and had used a gentler method to turn the Tang Dynasty Territory into a vassal territory, or even made Li JinEn a puppet Overlord, no one would have said anything. Apart from benefiting, Bai Xiaowen would also gain a good reputation.
Sometimes, the world was just so dastardly.
Of course, there were also Overlords that supported Bai Xiaowen, but there were very few of them, such as the Wushou Territory of the Queen Bee.
Another Overlord that Bai Xiaowen hadn't expected was the Great Xia Territory.
Xia Feng, who rarely spoke in the group, actually sent a message and '@' the Heavenly Province Territory Lord Mengchuan, saying, "If you dare to hit me, I'll hit you."
This short message was like a sudden clap of thunder, causing the Overlords to be thrown off their feet.
Many of the veteran Lords were blown out of hiding.
Mengchuan was so angry that he sent many question marks in a row.
Xia Feng only replied briefly and explained the reason, "Lu Wang saved my subordinate."
The Overlords sighed. They didn't expect Lord Lu Wang to be so lucky, and they didn't expect Lord Xia Feng to value his subordinate so much.
In the eyes of the Overlords, saving one of their subordinates was just an ordinary favor. It was on a completely different level compared to the enormous cost of a territorial war.
However, Xia Feng was stubborn. Mengchuan couldn't do anything about it, even though he secretly cursed Xia Feng for being paranoid.
"Xia Feng's words on the Blue Star platform should have a lot of weight. It seems that this matter can be resolved without a war … But why are there so many unread messages? Something's not right. "
Bai Xiaowen continued to scroll down and quickly found an even more shocking message.
[Xia Yan – Great Yan: Little Feng, don't go overboard.]
This message seemed ordinary, but the key was the person who said it.
This person was the core territory of Pan-Asia, the leader of the Great Yan Territory, Xia Yan!
