353: The old man returns with great momentum

Chapter 353: The Old Man Returns with Overwhelming Power

Bang!

The golden Spirit Manifestation behind the Upper Realm male shattered, turning into countless specks of energy, like golden petals scattered across the sky.

Amidst the hushed silence of the entire venue, the old man's figure gradually became clear. Spiritual energy, vital Qi, and blood Qi surged rapidly around him, forming unique spiritual energy circuits. These turbulent spiritual energy circuits intertwined into an energy pattern resembling a tiger's head.

The old man seemed somewhat surprised as he glanced at the ancient starry sky that had opened up in the sky.

Then, he grabbed the Upper Realm male's headless body, reached out, and forcibly pulled out a series of LED colorful light strips, resembling a neural network, from the bloody, mangled neck.

"Grandpa?!"

The moment he recognized the figure, Wu Xian's eyes involuntarily reddened. He instinctively wanted to cry out but found his throat was already hoarse and speechless from the shock of seeing the old man.

If his feeling wasn't wrong, the old man seemed to have recovered his Immortal Rank spiritual energy Cultivation.

But that wasn't the point. The point was the terrifying power displayed by that Immortal Rank spiritual energy Cultivation, as well as the unique spiritual energy circuits encircling his body. The power flowing through these circuits was like a nuclear bomb that could be detonated at any moment.

Crucially, he had kicked and blown up the Upper Realm male's "big watermelon" with a single blow. It was simply... inconceivable.

"Holy crap, a Rank 10 Body Cultivator!" Wang Xiaocong exclaimed with a strange cry, "Where did such an Immortal Rank Body Cultivator Senior come from?"

Beside him, Wang Fengnian's gaze was fervent. Blood Qi surged on his aged face, actually presenting a radiant state due to excitement.

Watching the old figure above, his memories seemed to instantly return to the glorious years of the past.

When he was young, he had once looked up to this figure in the same way and was deeply impressed by him, embarking on a "path of no return."

"Rank 10 Body Cultivator?" Wu Xian asked, puzzled.

Wang Xiaocong stammered, "It's... it's... the ceiling for spiritual energy Body Cultivators. My old man has Cultivated for most of his life and is only a Rank 9 Body Cultivator."

"Oh," Wu Xian said, impressed but not fully understanding.

"Look quickly at the tiger image formed by the spiritual energy circuits around the Senior. That is the legendary [Spirit Manifestation] unique to Rank 10 Body Cultivators," Wang Xiaocong introduced, gesticulating wildly, utterly excited.

"Rank 10?" Wang Fengnian secretly chuckled in his heart, looking at Wu Xian with a fervent gaze. He said concisely, "A humanoid black scroll. You should understand if I describe it like that, right? And it's the kind where the Star Rank and Fate Mark are naturally maxed out, and the five-dimensional attributes and spirituality can be infinitely enhanced."

Wu Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly had a clear understanding of the old man's terrifying strength.

A humanoid black scroll? And one where the Rank is maxed out, and attributes can grow infinitely?

"Grandpa, he..."

Who would have thought that the old man who used to pick up trash in the Shantytown and raised him would turn out to be such a "superman"?

"What? He's Brother Xian's grandpa?" Wang Xiaocong exclaimed in surprise... Above Yaoyang City.

Governor Yang and Cui Wenxuan and others were all stunned, taking a long time to recover from the shock they had just experienced.

"Spirit Manifestation, Rank 10 Body Cultivator? I wonder who this Senior is..." The president of the provincial Alliance beside them said in disbelief.

Cui Wenxuan and Governor Yang glanced at Wang Fengnian below, vaguely understanding something.

But the more they understood, the more their hearts pounded.

Looking at the general from the military beside them, his eyes, when he looked at the old man, were like those of someone seeing an idol, and the admiration in them was practically overflowing.

That was a legendary figure circulating in the military, one who could not be openly discussed.

An eternal myth in the hearts of the older generation of military powerhouses.

It was just that he never expected this legendary figure to still be alive in the world.

As everyone was shocked, Wu Mingchang's gaze calmly swept over them, "Do you feel an urge to report news of this old man to the Upper Realm?"

"How could that be?" The military general stammered excitedly, "I just didn't expect you to still be alive."

Are you kidding? They had all teamed up to hunt Upper Realm people, so their allegiance was naturally with Wu Mingchang.

After all, the person in front of them was the true pioneer of resisting Upper Realm rule!

"A Rank 10 Body Cultivator is indeed terrifying!" Cui Wenxuan exclaimed in admiration, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Junior Yang Chi, it is a great honor to meet Senior Wu," Governor Yang followed closely, also showing respect.

Facing everyone's flattery, Wu Mingchang waved his hand indifferently, "It's rare to hunt such an Upper Realm prey. Let's talk about how to divide it first, shall we?"

"This..." Governor Yang and the others exchanged glances and smiled, "We'll leave it all to Senior."

Wu Mingchang chuckled, then casually tore off a string from the neural network-like LED light strips, throwing the remaining LED light strips to the others.

Whoosh!

The next second, he transformed into an afterimage, appearing before Wu Xian and the two others below.

"Commander, your demeanor is as great as ever!" Wang Fengnian greeted him with a joyful smile.

"Hello, Grandpa Wu, Junior Wang Xiaocong... I live at No. 28, Fourth Row, Chunyang Villa Area, New District," Wang Xiaocong stammered.

Seeing this, Wang Fengnian secretly shook his head.

"Good little fellow," Wu Mingchang chuckled, patting Wang Xiaocong's shoulder in encouragement, "Work hard. Your Body Cultivator talent seems to be much stronger than your grandpa's."

Wang Xiaocong nodded excitedly, so thrilled he was almost crying.

What an honor it was to have a Rank 10 Body Cultivator Senior pat his shoulder?

"Grandpa, you're finally back."

Wu Xian's eyes were red as he spoke softly.

The reunion of family between men had no fervent hugs or emotional words.

"Xian'er's growth today is truly unbelievable to Grandpa," Wu Mingchang said with emotion, "Was that unique starry sky in the sky just now summoned by you?"

"Yes," Wu Xian nodded and smiled, "I'll tell you the details about it later."

Wu Mingchang was not in a hurry either. He raised his hand and handed the string of LED colorful light strips to Wu Xian, "Take it. If you want to make a black scroll in the future, you might need it."

"Is this the source of the Upper Realm people's Divine Power?" Wu Xian examined it curiously.

Wu Mingchang nodded calmly, "A Law source material refined using a special method. Originally, it was a product created by the original sages to develop black scrolls, until someone discovered that this thing could be implanted into the human body, bringing god-like power to oneself. Then everything changed."

These few brief sentences directly gave Wu Xian a lot of important information.

Law source material?

It seemed like an energy substance that was more powerful, purer, and closer to the essence of creation than ordinary Law power.

"So the Upper Realm rules the world with this kind of power?" Wu Xian asked, pondering.

"Yes," Wu Mingchang was as calm as ever, "What should have been a benefit to all people ultimately became the Foundation of some people's desires and power, completely deviating from the original intentions of the first sages.

Now, it's not easy for the Lower Realm to access Law source material."

Wu Xian understood, "So the method of production and refinement has been monopolized and blocked by the Upper Realm?"

The old man remained noncommittal, then said with a hint of sarcasm, "Unfortunately, external power is ultimately external power. Power that shouldn't belong to them is not so easy to control. The deeper they delve into using this power, the more problems the Upper Realm people will face.

Power, after all, is most reliable when cultivated through one's own efforts."

Wu Xian carefully felt the Law source material flowing within the LED light strips. Although he didn't quite understand it, Third Master Xue's figure naturally appeared in his mind.

In his opinion, Third Master Xue might be able to decipher the method for refining this Law source material.

As they spoke, Shifu-jie and the Club members also gathered around curiously, looking at the old man as if they were seeing an Immortal.
