Even if Luo Hao ran abroad, he could still project the power in the sky curtain barrier, but the accuracy of the target would be difficult to grasp at that time.
But the problem is... trying to build a sky barrier that encompasses all of Japan would simply mean making enemies with all the deeply rooted native families on the mysterious side of Japan.
In fact, the reason why the Japanese wanted to emulate China and build a sky curtain barrier for thousands of years but ultimately failed was that they were unable to truly unify those mysterious side families and gain control of the earth's spiritual energy from them.
"Or should we build a small 'Sky Curtain Barrier' to play with first?"
Ling Wu Ji thought that there was nothing else to do, so he went to ask Aozaki Touko if she knew of any unattended geomagnetic energy nodes in Japan.
"You should ask this question in a different way: Which family in Japan is the easiest to control? They dare not speak out even though you have forcibly seized the management rights of the earth's spiritual energy. I do have a place to recommend. What do you think of Misaki Town?"
Aozaki Orange said.
"Isn't Misaki Town... your hometown?"
"correct."
"My intuition tells me that there is probably a trap here. I am not interested in getting involved in such troublesome things for the time being." Ling Wuzhi thought for a while and said.
"Trying to seize the management rights of the earth vein aura nodes in other countries is already a huge trouble. In comparison, if you want to seize Misaki Town, I can still help you a little. How did you come up with the idea of doing such a... how should I put it, in your Chinese words, a thing that is against the will of the world?"
"No, I just want to build a small sky barrier for fun."
"Sky Curtain Barrier? Just for fun? Just for fun?"
For a moment, Aozaki Touko wondered if she was already old: China's sky barrier had stood for thousands of years and was known as the greatest miracle of the mysterious side that had continued to this day. Yet the young man in front of her said casually that he wanted to build one for fun. Was she crazy or was this world crazy?
PS: Basically all the relevant settings in this chapter are secondary settings.
Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 15: Discussion
If Ling Wu Ji could hear her thoughts, he would probably complain that this world has gone crazy.
Anyway, according to his thinking, Japan is such a crazy place. What's wrong with him coveting Japan's earth veins and spiritual energy? Anyway, as long as he builds the sky curtain barrier, maybe after it is built, he can end the chaotic situation of Japan's mysterious side in one fell swoop and bring true peace to the Japanese!
"And the price is that the Japanese have an extra god above their heads?"
"Aren't you Japanese known as the eight million gods anyway? One more of me won't matter, right?"
Aozaki Touko thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if Japan has eight million gods, but no one would be willing to give up their current interests and create a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, not to mention that the person who controls this sword of Damocles is a person who says that the Japanese only care about small details and don't understand big principles."
"Well, you see, the controller of China's sky barrier has actually been vacant for thousands of years. Even the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain can only maintain it. You can also expect that I can only create but not control it. Besides, I don't like Japan that much. Maybe I will hand over the control to you at that time."
"You should talk to those families about this."
Ling Wuji sighed and said, "So, which family owns the geocentric node of the city we are currently in?"
"Are you really going to do this?"
"Aozaki, I think you have always had a misunderstanding about me."
"What misunderstanding?"
"Do you think I was just joking when I said I wanted revenge on Luo Hao?"
Aozaki Touko shook her head decisively: "No, why would you think so?"
"So in your opinion, which one is easier, defeating Luo Hao or building a sky curtain barrier in Japan?"
"Well, I do think you are the type who thinks it is easier to deal with one person than a group of people," Aozaki Touko said, "Based on your conditions, you can deal with Araya Soren at this age. If you continue to practice step by step, you may be able to catch up with Luo Hao's level in a dozen years, right? And you were so low-key in the mysterious side of Japan before. Don't you think it's too troublesome to interact with people in the mysterious side of Japan?"
"But the idea of defeating Luo Hao by practicing step by step is not advisable," Ling Wuji raised his eyebrows and said, "According to some people, those godslayers are basically miracles and are chosen by fate. The best way to defeat a godslayer is to provoke a dispute between two godslayers or to summon the God of Disobedience. However, I have said long ago that the feud between her and me will never be resolved by other people. For me to reach her level, whether it is the power she obtained from the God of Disobedience or the magic power she obtained from the 'Circle of Usurpation', it is an insurmountable chasm."
Ling Wu Ji is a family member and knows his own business well.
Even if one has the so-called "Catalogue of Forbidden Taoist Techniques", the essence of "Taoism" is still just "Law". Magic alone cannot compete with the power that is basically close to supernatural powers.
Of course, if he could really become a real person, it wouldn't be completely hopeless.
But Ling Wuji's breakthrough to the Yin God realm was already a fluke. He was not sure whether his insignificant wish could serve as fuel for his breakthrough to the Golden Core realm. It was true that the system might provide more powerful plug-ins in the future, but "Taoism" was only "Taoism" after all. If the level of the means was insufficient, then the amount of spiritual energy should prevail.
So, what scale of spiritual energy can compete with a godslayer?
Isn't the answer obvious?
Aozaki Touko pondered for a moment, then said, "I think you might as well find a mysterious family from Japan to support you. Anyway, all you need is the spiritual energy of the earth veins, and you don't need that name..."
"Oh, any recommendations?"
"What do you think of the Liang Yi family?"
"Apart from the method of creating multiple personalities, they have basically nothing to do with the mysterious side," Ling Wuji rolled his eyes, "They are just an ordinary mafia family."
"Then... Asagami family?"
"Are you kidding? Asagami and Asagami are two completely different things. Besides, Asagami doesn't want to be too involved with the mysterious side, right?"
"You care so much about Fujino's family background that I wonder if you have a crush on her."
"Bah! If you say that, there are at least eighty people in the whole underworld who want to marry me!"
Aozaki Touko was shocked: "There are so many? For example..."
"Now that you ask me that, I can't remember how long it has been since I updated my freeloader directory."
"I say, your goal is obviously to defeat Luo Hao, why is there a directory of gigolos?"
Ling Wuji glanced at her and said, "If my life is all about defeating Luo Hao, wouldn't that be a bit boring?"
"Is it fun to be a gigolo for a rich woman?" Aozaki Touko couldn't help but want to slam the table!
"Whether it's interesting or not is another matter, but at least it's relatively relaxing."
"I didn't realize you were such an extreme person."
Ling Wuji was too lazy to discuss what kind of person he was, so he said, "Anyway, besides the Liangyi family and the Qianshang family, do you have any other recommendations? If not, I will just go and rob the nodes of the earth vein spiritual energy. Anyway, with the current situation of the Japanese mysterious side, there shouldn't be many people who will stand up to deal with me..."
He seemed a little overconfident after killing Araya Zonglian.
Moreover, there are no people of the God Slayer's level in Japan.
And people close to that level may not necessarily take action against him because of such a dispute.
Aozaki Touko thought about it, took a puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled smoke rings, and said: "If you don't want to involve Shiki and Fujino, then I suggest you go find the 'Golden King's' clan 'Hitokiin'."
"Why? Even if I have to find an official organization, I should go to the Official History Compilation Committee! At worst, I can use my connections to go to Scepter 4!"
"You are also related to Scepter 4?" Aozaki Touko put out the cigarette in surprise.
"When I came to Japan before, I happened to encounter a plane hijacking, and I also happened to meet the new Blue King Munakata Reiji. It seemed that he was selected by that stone tablet at that time."
"I still recommend you to find Heijiin, because what you want is to establish the dominance of the Sky Curtain Barrier throughout Japan. Scepter 4 is only the executive layer in a sense. The Blue King is too obsessed with the confrontation with the Red King. Although the Official History Compilation Committee also has the title of governing the entire Japanese mystical side, their energy is basically focused on matters related to the God of Disobedience. More importantly, they are too close to you."
"Too close?"
"The power of the 'Heijiyuan' clan comes from the Dresden Slate, but they still haven't figured out the mechanism of the slate itself. So, although they say they are the mysterious side, they are more like the IS forces that cooperate with them, just using technology on a platform that has already been built. You should know clearly what is an important criterion for distinguishing the mysterious side from the secular side?"
"Can you sense and use the inner energy, or magic power, on your own?"
"Yes," Aozaki Touko nodded and said, "So if you cooperate with the official history compilation committee, they are likely to seize the initiative from you and secretly hinder you, but those rabbits in the Heishin Academy will not do that, and they don't have that ability. The only question is whether you can convince Kunijoji Daijue and convince him to accept your plan."
Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 16: The Current Situation in Japan
Ling Wuji thought about it carefully and found that what Aozaki Orange said did make some sense.
Of course, the cooperation with the Hei Shi Institute is just a name at best. When it comes to real things like dealing with those mysterious families, the Hei Shi Institute will neither take action nor be in a position to do so. This name can only be used to prevent the intervention of people like the Holy Church, the Magic Association, or the Official History Compilation Committee, but in reality it may not really be able to prevent them.
There is nothing we can do if the other party wants to intervene in their personal capacity.
You still have to actually do it.
"But this is as it should be. Rather, it is unexpected that the method proposed by Aozaki can reduce the resistance to this extent."
Ling Wuji made up his mind and no longer hesitated. He directly contacted Munakata Reisi and asked to meet Kunitsuneji Daikaku.
……
Reiji Munakata is the new Blue King who took office half a year ago.
Of course, the statement that he has just taken office is not actually accurate. A more accurate statement is that he is the new Blue King elected by the Dresden Slate.
The Dresden Slate is a mysterious slate brought back from Germany by the former Japanese officer Kuni Tsuneji Daikaku after Japan's defeat in World War II. It is said that the official history compilation committee had conflicts and negotiations with Kuni Tsuneji Daikaku, but probably because the official history compilation committee was already powerless to deal with the affairs related to the God of Disobedience, they finally agreed to Kuni Tsuneji Daikaku's request and placed the Dresden Slate in Japan, so that the slate could select seven kings, giving them different but extremely powerful powers, and also giving Kuni Tsuneji Daikaku the power to manage the affairs of the mysterious side. Among them, the King of Gold and the King of Silver have always been Kuni Tsuneji Daikaku and Adolf K. Weitzman, while the other five kings have been replaced, and the reason for the replacement is generally due to the death of the previous one.
The way a king dies is usually no different from the way a normal person dies.
But a very small number of them could not control their power, causing their "Sword of Damocles" to fall, forming a huge explosion like a meteorite falling to the ground. It is said that the previous Red King died because of this, resulting in the "Kaghudu Crater" incident. Nearly 70 people died in this incident, which also indirectly led to the death of the previous Blue King.
In a sense, the emergence of the Seven Kings certainly had certain positive implications for Japanese society, but they were also walking time-delay nuclear weapons.
"The only person in history who caused the 'Weisman Deviation Value' to be disrupted and his power to be on the verge of going berserk is Kaguto Genji," Munakata Reiji adjusted his glasses and stared at the Chinese student he met on the plane more than half a year ago with a serious look, and explained calmly, "So, in fact, the so-called untimely nuclear weapon you mentioned is only the contemporary Red King Suho-no-mikoto. This is why I am so wary of him."
"Alright, alright, I'm not interested in the grudges and conflicts between you, and you don't have to explain this to me."
Ling Wuji waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to dwell on this topic.
"So the main reason you came to me is to apply to the King of Gold to build a sky barrier in Japan similar to the one in China?"
"Actually, I just want a name to avoid some unnecessary trouble."
"So you'll continue even if we disagree?"
"Anyway, you clans don't have much use for the earth's spiritual energy, right?"
The so-called "clan" refers to people who accept the king's power in some way and gain corresponding superpowers. Generally speaking, the more clans gather around the king, the power of the king and the clan will increase exponentially. The existence of this power is quite idealistic, although the upper limit is at most that -
Compare this to the disasters caused by the godslayers and the disobedient gods.
By the way, the clan of Blue King Munakata Reiji is Scepter 4.
Munakata Reiji nodded: "Then, follow me."
"Hey! Don't you have anything you want to ask?"
"Specifically, hasn't Awashima already questioned you in detail and submitted a report to me? Is there anything else you are hiding?"
Ling Wuji scratched his head: "Not really, it's just..."
He never thought that Reisi Munakata would agree to introduce him to Kunitsuneji Daikaku so easily.
"From the current situation, the worst result of you building the Sky Curtain Barrier is nothing more than one more Sword of Damocles. The current situation will not get worse," Munakata Reiji stood up first and walked out of the reception room of Scepter 4 headquarters. He said coldly, "From my point of view, you are also a trustworthy person."
Ling Wuji didn't know how to complain for a moment:
How on earth did he know that he was a trustworthy person? It was obvious that the two of them were in a relationship where they were hooking up and wanted to take advantage of each other. One of them unilaterally wanted to pull the other into his clan, and the other wanted to use the other to act as a go-between. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like they both had ulterior motives.
