He extracted the "void" of Sakuragi Shu.
"So, that means it's a perfect container."
Of course, Ling Wuji himself did not have the ability to materialize his soul, so the essence of the void that was extracted - or separated from Sakuman Shu's body using the "North Star Soul-Fixing and Life-Extending Technique" was just a ball of illusory air in the eyes of outsiders. However, Dart could clearly see that the young man intertwined the two beams of light in his hands, and a dazzling beam of light shot up into the sky. At the same time, the young man gave orders to Sakuman Shu's void, and that beam of light became the eye of a tornado, and all that was surging from all directions was void.
It is a part of the self of those souls born after the advent of the apocalypse virus.
Even the Apocalypse Virus followed suit and attached itself to the void.
So, in the eye of the tornado, the illusory light gradually took shape, and then gradually deformed in the young man's will. Finally, like a sword being quenched after being fired, the residue shattered and fell, eventually revealing the style of an ancient sword.
Dart couldn't help but applaud.
"I originally thought that you might be like Luo Hao or the Hades, the kind of person chosen by fate, who would pass the one-in-a-million trial and become a brave god-killer. But now it seems that you, holding that sword, will never be able to have anything to do with the fate of killing gods."
He seemed to be shaking his head with regret.
Ling Wuji took a step forward, grasped the long sword tightly, and was about to swing it at Dart, but he heard him say:
"You're not going to give it a name?"
Ling Wuji thought about it and said, "Then let's call it 'elimination'."
"'Cut and destroy'? In that case, are you a self-proclaimed guardian of human nature?"
"Like I said, sometimes I want to save the world or something."
Ling Wuji and Dart both knew the nature of this sword very well.
It is a weapon that connects the souls of all the new generations, and almost all of them have a deep hatred for the Apocalypse virus, so against Dart, this sword can almost kill him with one blow. But if you want to say it is a weapon that can kill gods, let's put it this way, if Ling Wuji dares to use this thing to deal with Luo Hao, it is probably just an indestructible attribute -
To put it bluntly, it is a special attack on Dart.
Maybe in the future some little monster that the whole of Japan hates appears, and we can use it.
But that would mean another outbreak of the world crisis.
So Dart said that Ling Wuji was claiming to be the "guardian of human principles."
Of course, if Ling Wuji founded a Seventeen-Year-Old Cult in the future and turned all Japanese people under the age of seventeen into his fanatical followers, he would naturally be invincible.
But for now, that’s all it is.
At this time, Dart opened his arms and was too lazy to continue to tangle with Ling Wuji, so Ling Wuji gave him a sharp sword. After that, his figure was like a shattered sculpture, like fine sand scattered in the wind: "However, maybe you and I will have a chance to meet again, but by then, I may not be Dart, but Gabriel or the Serpent of Eden as you said. In any case, goodbye, and congratulations on achieving the ending you wanted."
Volume 5: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter : Epilogue ()
"Recently, minors under the age of seventeen across the country have been in a short coma at the same time. The Gene Research Institute under the Non-Time Institute issued a statement, saying that they are responsible for the incident and claiming that they have made a major breakthrough in the research of the Apocalypse virus and are expected to completely solve the problem of the Apocalypse virus..."

Ling Wuji was standing on the street, and when he saw that even the advertisements on the street were broadcasting this kind of serious news, he immediately shook his head:
It seems that Japan has really been suffering from the Apocalypse virus for a long time. Such a small thing has to be reported repeatedly. It hasn't even started yet, but it has made such a big fuss. Many people even got the inside information and found him directly, saying that Ling Wuji can ask for any conditions he wants, as long as their family's treatment order is given the highest priority...
Ling Wuji was extremely annoyed, and finally he hid in the geomantic node that he had transformed into a temporary shelter, where he finally got a moment of peace.
However, Ling Wuji was not a golden elixir after all, and was not yet at the point where he could live without the five grains of the world, so he still had to go out to buy food and some other things. But at this time, there were still people who came to take advantage of the opportunity -
So Ling Wuji sometimes wondered whether he should do something to scare these people again.
Of course, these old foxes actually noticed Ling Wuji's impatience, but they also retreated before Ling Wuji had a fit. Some of them even brought one or two girls of similar age to Ling Wuji with them. For example, the chairman of the Gongshengyuan Foundation who was approaching Ling Wuji now brought his granddaughter with him. However, Ling Wuji was not a young boy who had never seen the world. If someone wanted to use the beauty trap on him, he could only say, "That's it?"
Not even as good as Awashima Seri.
However, in the end, Ling Wuji did not cause any trouble. He just said a few perfunctory words. The other party also saw his perfunctory intention, so he said goodbye in a friendly manner, walked to the other side and drove away.
Ling Wuji was bored, so he had a dark idea to spy on other people's privacy. He used the magic of "Taixujian" to allow him to peek into the conversation between the grandfather and grandson in the car:
"What kind of person do you think he is?"
This is the old man speaking.
"He looks like a very withdrawn middle school student who doesn't seem to like communicating with others."
This was the beautiful girl with blonde hair, white skin and big waves, Arisa Koufuin, who was speaking, but her words were hesitant, and it was obvious that she didn't dare to believe that the person who was famous both in the mystical and secular worlds could be just such a young boy.
"'The superior man, when he hears the Tao, diligently practices it; the average man, when he hears the Tao, seems to be able to practice it, and yet he does not; the inferior man, when he hears the Tao, laughs at it; if he did not laugh, it would not be the Tao.' In the eyes of the world, geniuses are mostly eccentric, but they just cannot find their own kind to share their 'Tao' with. In other words, we are not his kind, and in his eyes we are just inferior men. In the eyes of us inferior men, this is what is called 'Hearing the Tao is like being in obscurity; advancing on the Tao is like retreating; the easy path is like a winding path'..."
Ling Wu Ji didn't know whether the old man knew that he was spying on him with the "Taixu Mirror" and even said words from the "Tao Te Ching" to please him?
This made Wu Ji realize that he was overthinking:
"But it doesn't matter whether we are sergeants or corporals. What matters is whether we can make him work for us."
Is this the family education of a noble family?
Ling Wu Ji said that as a proletariat, he had broadened his horizons and gained new insights.
So the education of capitalists has been so naked since childhood?
"but……"
The girl named Arisa Kouhoin seemed to want to find some flaws in Ling Wuji, but she gave up in the end:
"But it is said that the only target he revealed was Master Luo Hao..."
"But if that's all, why would he intervene to solve the Apocalypse virus?"
"According to Scepter 4's Deputy Director Awashima, it's because of his sense of responsibility as a consultant?"
The girl was still a little hesitant.
"Then why did he get the position of consultant?"
"Because he wants to build a sky curtain barrier."
"So, he wanted to build the Sky Curtain Boundary in order to avenge Luo Hao, and the Untimely Academy used this purpose to solve the problem of the Apocalypse virus. Since there is a tendency in his actions, it means that he must have a preference. In terms of catering to the preferences of others, Guo Changlu Dajue did a very good job, so he has achieved today's success..." The majestic old man saw that his granddaughter seemed to have something to say, so he temporarily stopped talking and asked her, "Do you seem to have something to say?"
"But some people in the mysterious side also said that Lord Guo Changlu is ceding territory in exchange for peace, which is not worth the loss."
"So what did Guo Changlu Dajue lose? The control of Japan's earth veins and spiritual energy has never been in his hands. To put it bluntly, Guo Changlu Dajue was just being generous to others. In return, that Ling Jun was willing to stay behind the scenes after he had the means to solve the Apocalypse virus, and gave the reputation to Guo Changlu Dajue and his Golden Clan. Even I can't compare to this business."
"But Lord Guo Changlu probably doesn't need that kind of fame..."
"'To bear the disgrace of the country is to be called the master of the country; to bear the misfortune of the country is to be called the king of the world', who said he doesn't need it?"
From Ling Wuji's perspective, although this old man was not a mysterious person, he did have some aura.
The old man continued, "Since Guo Changlu Dajue was able to use him to achieve today's success, we can also cater to his needs. For example, since he has a sense of responsibility, we can find ways to give him a responsibility. Since he has a sense of justice, we can expose the sins of our opponents to him. Even, since he can't find people of the same kind, we can find someone of his kind to become our spokesperson to get close to him, or even turn ourselves into his kind!"
Before Arisa Kouhoin could ask a question, she heard her grandfather change the subject and say, "But, Arisa, you have to remember one thing. To be used by me means that in that process, your position is 'I am the master'."
"With me as the main one?"
"Yes, if you can really become the same as him, you must also remember that the purpose of becoming the same as him is to enable him to achieve your own goals, not the other way around. In the end, when your interests seriously conflict, you give in to him. That would not be based on you," the old man said here, but shook his head and suddenly laughed. "But this is not predictable. Maybe by then, you will feel that your happiness is to realize his will? Girls are most easily moved by emotions!"
While Ling Wuji was spying, he couldn't help but secretly complain that this old man was very good at talking about business, but he probably didn't know how to judge people.
No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like a person with great charisma that can make people die for him! Where does that kind of future come from!
Among the people he has met, perhaps Tsuchiya Ya is one who has this potential?
But that revolutionary is probably not having an easy time now. After Fei Shi Yuan released this news, public opinion began to favor Fei Shi Yuan, and he knew that he had no way of getting the Stone of Origin from Ling Wu Ji, and he probably had no way to save the situation. Maybe when the funeral home is finally disbanded, he will be reduced to being a gigolo!
Does it sound quite exciting?
At this time, he heard the priest Arisa say, "But that person has the qualities of a god, and becoming one of his kind..."
"I've said it before, the Feishi Academy took advantage of his plan to build the Sky Curtain Barrier to achieve the current results, and we can also take advantage of this."
"How to use it?"
The old man shook his head, as if he was a little dissatisfied with his granddaughter's incompetence, but after all, she was his only heir, so he didn't blame her too much: "I have already asked, the sky curtain barrier is a huge system, even the Huaxia that has been built has been maintained by special people in the past dynasties, not to mention that he is still in the early stages, and he can't complete such a project alone. He may have the spare capacity for one or two earth vein nodes, but if he really wants to build a sky curtain barrier covering the whole of Japan, he must have someone to help him build that system! And your chance is to join that system. In this way, you and he will have common interests, and you can even use part of that system for your own use! And you just need to wait for the right opportunity."
Ling Wuji was immediately surprised:
NM's attitude sounds like he wants to put all the treasures on himself!
Do you seem to have that much potential?
Ling Wuji carefully recalled the past. What he had revealed was nothing more than suppressing Shen Lie Huo Zhi with the help of the earth's spiritual energy. As for Dart's matter, there were only a few people who knew the whole story, and they had no reason to spread the news. Japan was not a big country, but it was not a small country either. There were probably dozens of people at the Jindan level. Even if he had suppressed Shen Lie, he also said that the gap between Jindan and Jindan was not as big as that between humans and dogs, but it was actually about the same. Shen Lie was not actually at the top Jindan level.
However, he overlooked the fact that his current biological age was only fifteen years old.
Although Ling Wuji knew clearly that it was a stroke of luck for him to elevate his realm to the Golden Core level in his lifetime, outsiders did not understand these things. For most of the mysterious people in the world, it was unimaginable for him to be able to do such a thing at the age of fifteen. Although it might be a disaster, he already had the Sky Curtain Barrier in his hands. Even if he could not make further progress in the future, it would be enough to protect himself and even some people.
His only problem is that he has not yet established his own system.
There is no chance for others to intervene.
System is indeed a crucial word for people on the mysterious side.
In fact, countless ancestors have been trying to create a system that can explain everything. But as far as Chinese Taoism is concerned, from the "true man, the ultimate man, the saint, the virtuous man" of the Huang-Lao school to the "heavenly man, the god, the ultimate man, the saint, the gentleman" of the Zhuangzi school, and then from the Talisman School to the Alchemy School, although the standards for the division of realms are becoming more and more detailed and the methods of cultivation are becoming more and more, they are basically just explanations of some people's personal experiences and fabrications of later generations. Don't you see, even though the Talisman School in China has declined, doesn't the Japanese Yin-Yang School, in a sense, also retain the shadow of the Talisman School?
Of course, these systems may have some significance, but the most fundamental problem remains unsolved:
That is how to enable ordinary people and even everyone to cross the threshold of sensing "Qi", rather than allowing only a small number of eligible people to cross it based on the experience of their predecessors.
But until now, no one has solved this problem. Even in Academy City, although it is said that people can become people with special abilities there, the majority of people there are only those at level 0 to level 2.
And just as the old man said, if Ling Wuji wanted to continue expanding the sky curtain barrier, he would have to develop his own system. Even if this might cause foreign objects in the system that did not suit his wishes, it would be a price he had to pay.
He himself said that since humans have the so-called "Alaya", then individuals cannot, no matter what, stand out from the human group. Zhuangzi's saying "It is better to forget each other in the world than to help each other in times of need" is indeed a lofty state of mind, but in this world, where is the world where he can indulge himself and drag his tail in it?
Thinking of this, Ling Wu Ji became a little bored, and no longer observed the evil thoughts of these people. He withdrew the magic of Taixujian and just stood at the intersection, silently watching the people coming and going.
He was a little doubtful. Was it really the right path for him to choose?
Perhaps in the future, the "Catalogue of Forbidden Taoist Techniques" may also provide some sword-cultivation methods such as the "Shangzhen Jiuxiao Feixian Sword Sutra"?
Of course, in reality there is no so-called sword cultivation system in this world.
As for asking Ling Wuji to create such a system himself, he does not have that kind of foundation, and of course does not have that kind of ambition. His principle has always been to learn if he can use it, no matter whether it is the purification system or the creation system, the talisman school or the alchemy school. He said that the Rentiancao-style Cross Sad Sect is a grocery store-style faction, and in fact he himself is not much inferior. No one can say anything about anyone in this regard.
"Forget it. For now, we can only let it go."
Ling Wuji thought about it carefully, but in the end he didn't have any ideas. He just wandered aimlessly on the street, occasionally buying a bottle of Coke to cool off, as if he had returned to the time when he first arrived.
Although it was winter then.
And in this scorching hot summer, even if he wanted to reminisce, it would only remind him of his hometown in this world and the old man Lu Wenyuan.
"Come to think of it, I really haven't contacted him much, but he doesn't have any communication tools like a phone or mobile phone with him. Forget it, I might as well send something over there." Ling Wuji saw another person getting out of a car not far away, heading straight for him, and he sighed.
