Chapter 370: The Power that Shocks the World
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
After the elders returned to their respective major factions with their disciples, the master and decision makers of different factions and forces soon gathered together.
The Jade Hill Mountain Master was an elegant middle-aged man wearing a jade-green silk robe and holding a jade flute. “Since everyone is here, I guess all of you know the purpose of our meeting.”
The Dragon Sea Daoist Palace Master was an old Daoist wearing a white robe with embroidered black-and-white divinatory symbols, and he said in a cold voice, “Of course. My Dragon Sea Daoist Palace emphasizes cleansing one’s heart and limiting desires, which represents the perfect mindset to cultivate the techniques of Daoism. My biggest fear is that our disciples will get entangled in worldly affairs. To our astonishment, these disciples have such deep obsessions already!”
“Ay…” A chubby cultivator heaved a heavy sigh. He was the Zhu Family Master; the Zhu Family was one of the three big families of Linglang Mountain. “If not for the early discovery of this issue, the core disciples of my Zhu Family would have become spies inside the family. The level of illusions from this shop is close to that of demons and devils! We must get rid of this evil, lurking force!”
“Guys, I heard that… even cultivators of the Yundian Upper Realm are involved in this issue. I wonder if it’s true.”
“What if they are?” The old Daoist of the Dragon Sea Daoist Palace said with a reddened face, “I don’t believe that they will interfere with the internal affairs of my Dragon Sea Daoist Palace! If so, we’ll ask the Three Saint Gates to do justice for us!”
The Zhu Family Master said with a snicker, “With the combined forces of our major factions which represent more than half of the cultivation world, we’re not afraid of the Yundian Upper Realm!”
“Well said! Zhu Family Master!” A cultivator wearing red clothes said, “If they dare to interfere, we will show them our power by razing the Yundian Upper Realm to the ground!
“You’re right!” A middle-aged man wearing white clothes stood up while he rolled his eyes and thought, “It’s about time to carry out Holiness’s plan.”
Immediately, he yelled, “My disciple used to go out of faction every day and totally deserted cultivation, Even though the poison in his body has been removed, he’s no longer his former self, and I’m afraid that it will affect his future. All these damages were afflicted by that evil force, and I won’t stop until I destroy it!”
Hearing his words, the others got even more indignant. “Well said! We won’t stop until we destroy this evil force!”
After all, if they didn’t blame it on the so-called evil force, were they going to blame themselves?
…
Before now, there were ways to interrupt information transmission and even intercept the messages between other factions and cultivators.
In fact, all of that could be one using arrays.
However, the creation of arrays took a lot of time, and they had quite a few drawbacks such as they weren’t mobile and were hard to hide.
This method was rarely useful on enemies in a war unless one could fool the enemies and disguise it.
Besides, while cultivators could use arrays to block the transmission of enemies’ communication jade, they would also block the information sent to their own communication jades from their people. Even if their arrays had the ability to distinguish friends from the foes, it was hard to tell the difference between enemies’ messages and their own.
The best solution was to create a totally different communication method for themselves. This way, they could destroy the enemies’ transmission environment and cut off communications without affecting their own.
“As you all know, we must rely on the spiritual essence that exists everywhere in the world to transmit our messages through communication jades, and the top-quality communication jade can even send strong spiritual signals for a long distance in places without any spiritual essence.”
With a communication jade in his hand, Li Haoran explained, “Now that we’ve found a very special communication method, we must conduct some in-depth research on it. For example, this communication method uses a special ‘wave’, and the ‘radio wave’ that they used on battlefields are different from what they use in daily life.”
“Right now, you might not understand what this means to us,” Li Haoran said, “Or, you think it is just a substitute of our traditional communication method. However, I have to say that this is an incorrect understanding.”
Li Haoran said solemnly, “With this new communication method, we can disrupt the communication of a whole region and even intercept almost all the messages sent by spiritual essence. In the meantime, we don’t have to worry about negative effects on our own communications!’
Some of the people had been nonplussed as for why Li Haoran summoned so many of them here, but now…
“Junior Brother Li, your words hit us like a silver dagger!”
“Excellent! This idea is indeed excellent!”
“If we do that, the enemies won’t be able to send messages to each other on the battlefield, and it will be difficult for them to issue orders between different spiritual boats!”
…
Meanwhile, in the High-Level Artifact Masters Communication Group.
Jun Yangzi: [Have you created the Heavenly Mirror?]
Duan Yue: [Of course! It’s so powerful that even a big demon can’t block it! Do you know what big demons are?]
Jun Yangzi: [Daoist friend, you can’t boast like this. Who has seen a legendary demon before? How do you know that the mirror can defeat demons if you have never seen demons before?]
Duan Yue: [Didn’t the shop owner tell you that the big demon in the shop was suppressed by us?]
Jun Yangzi: [Isn’t it the spirit in Mr. Fang’s spiritual artifact? What’s the deal with the big demon?! We’re also making the Heavenly Mirror right now; can you… give us some advice?]
Soon, they began to dig deeper into the topic. Obviously, the Morning Star Sea Realm had more basic techniques and resources compared to the Wuwei Daoist Alliance, which was why the Heavenly Mirror was first created in the Morning Star Sea Realm.
Since these two regions were extremely far apart, they didn’t have conflicts of interest, so the two parties didn’t find it necessary to hide the fruits of their research from each other.
The exchange of information obviously benefited both parties.
Jun Yangzi: [Thank you very much! With your advice, we can avoid many mistakes during the creation process. It seems that we will make the Heavenly Mirror very soon!]
