356: The deadline is coming, huh?

Chapter 356: The End Is Near... Huh?

"Xian'er, oh Xian'er, you really are..." Wu Mingchang was at a loss for words.

Wu Xian gave an awkward smile, not explaining anything. "By the way, Grandpa, what do you think of my Body Cultivator talent? Have I Cultivated to a Realm as awe-inspiring as yours?"

Although the path of Tattoo scrolls was blocked, he could achieve the same goal through Body Cultivation.

After all, the orthodox Body Cultivation path allowed for normal control of various scrolls.

"Average," Wu Mingchang commented. "The future limit should be around the seventh stage, but Xian'er's advantage isn't in this area anyway. It's better to focus your main energy on scrolls."

Body Refining talent is average?

No matter. I'll get some Body Tempering Pills, Marrow Cleansing Pills, and so on, to improve it later.

After all, the body is the capital for revolution.

Speaking of Medicinal Pills, one couldn't help but mention the Great King Fungus in the Pocket Mushroom Farm.

Now that Grandpa had just returned, it was time to arrange some Lifespan-extending methods for him.

"By the way, Grandpa, are you interested in Tattoo scrolls?" Wu Xian asked excitedly. "To be honest, I've come up with some Tattoo scroll ideas that are suitable for you. Do you want to try them?"

"Oh?" Wu Mingchang couldn't help but become interested. "Xian'er also understands Tattoo scrolls?"

"It's a matter of drawing inferences from other cases. I've always been involved in Tattoo Bro's research."

Wu Mingchang clicked his tongue and nodded. "However, Grandpa's Divine Tiger Spirit Manifestation has already condensed, and my Body Refining has already Cultivated to a certain Realm, so it might not perfectly fit with Tattoo scrolls."

Hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

After all, the current restrictions on Tattoo scrolls were numerous, and even a slight influence could lead to failure.

And a Body Cultivator's Spirit Manifestation could also be seen as a Law Veins that had already integrated into Grandpa's body, which would inevitably affect the formation of Tattoo scrolls.

"Can a person only have one set of Spirit Manifestations?" Wu Xian pondered and asked.

"No, that's not it," Wu Mingchang shook his head. "It's just that condensing a Spirit Manifestation is already difficult, and subsequent refinement and advancement are even harder."

As he spoke, his spiritual energy surged and hummed, condensing another brand new set of spiritual energy circuits. The entire set of spiritual energy circuits presented a shape resembling a giant Dragon ascending, with bursts of Dragon roars, full of power.

Goodness, Grandpa actually had a second set of spiritual energy circuits, and he had already condensed a preliminary Spirit Manifestation.

One Dragon and one Tiger, it somewhat had the meaning of an Azure Dragon on the left and a White Tiger on the right.

"Speaking of which, the ancient starry sky you summoned today made me vaguely feel a wonderful sense of Spirit Manifestation resonance," Wu Mingchang mused. "Is that also your scroll?"

"Yes, but I can't create it yet, so I can only summon part of its power with a corresponding lower-tier scroll." Wu Xian's eyes flickered. "What, does your Spirit Manifestation's aura resemble the power in the starry sky?"

"It's somewhat similar," Wu Mingchang said. "But the aura revealed in that starry sky is clearly more complete and complex than my Spirit Manifestation."

Hearing this, Wu Xian became even more excited. "Then what would happen if this set of scrolls were tattooed on you?"

"This... it's really hard to say."

"Later, when your grandson finds suitable materials, I'll help you try?"

Wu Mingchang pondered and nodded. "We can try."

During the subsequent casual chat, he inevitably talked about some past events with Grandpa.

Although Grandpa no longer concealed anything, he only gave a rough description and did not reveal too many details.

Roughly, he had once organized a resistance army against the rule of the Upper Realm, and with the secret participation of various parties, launched a grand "God Slaying Project," which then failed.

"Didn't win?" Wu Xian couldn't help but be curious.

"Something like that," Wu Mingchang said sadly. "Plus, some unexpected situations happened later."

"What situations?"

"Hmm..." Wu Mingchang pondered gravely. "I can only say that our understanding of the Upper Realm is incomplete, and the Upper Realm itself is divided into upper and lower layers. The true Upper Realm is what they call the Heavens.

However, the people in there are clearly no longer human, or rather, they are beings who have transcended their physical bodies."

Wu Xian was secretly alarmed. There was an Upper Realm above the Upper Realm. "So you were defeated by the so-called Heavens back then?"

"That's right," Wu Mingchang sighed lightly. "Currently, it seems that the Four Great True Gods of this era have already touched upon the power of the Heavens."

Wu Xian then asked, "What about the matters of Ziyun City and Hongta City?"

"That was later," Wu Mingchang said wistfully. "I know you really want to know the inside story, and information related to your parents, but now is not the time."

"Is it also related to the Heavens?" Wu Xian took a step back and asked.

"Mm."

"So my parents died at the hands of the Upper Realm people, right?"

"That's right."

"That's enough." Wu Xian took a deep breath. There might be some internal secrets hidden within, but for him, knowing this much was enough. Everything else was unimportant. "Mom and Dad... what kind of people were they?"

"Very outstanding, and they loved you very much." Wu Mingchang's eyes were filled with reminiscence. "It's just that some of their wild ideas were too outrageous."

...In the following days, Yaoyang City gradually returned to normal.

Ordinary citizens had no idea what had happened; they only knew that the Association and the military had Eliminate a powerful Evil God Scroll Master. The outside world and the general public also didn't know what had happened in Yaoyang City.

The sun rose as usual, and everything operated as before.

However, the return of Grandpa Wu Mingchang left an indelible impression on Governor Yang and the other bigwigs of Tianfeng Province.

It also caused a subtle, subconscious shift in their Pay attention to of Yaoyang City and Wu Xian.

North District, next to the small villa.

Wu Xian distributed a portion of the LED light strip Law Source Material to Third Master Xue for research and exploration.

As for the black axis Achilles and such, he hadn't considered them for now, as he only had a portion of the "Achilles" Source Material Veins, and the Upper Realm man's Divine Power template itself was a hodgepodge.

Only the "Achilles" related Source Material context in the underlying template was relatively valuable.

Moreover, since the other party's underlying template was Achilles, it meant that Achilles had already been created by someone. Although it wasn't a perfect Achilles concept, the copyright was already gone.

There was no point in Wu Xian creating it again.

It would be better to disassemble this string of LED light strips and use them as material for other black scrolls in the future.

"How is it? Any progress?"

Third Master Xue shook his head awkwardly. "I don't understand it at all."

"No matter. Just continue your research at your own pace. Perhaps you'll see some progress in the future."

Wu Xian was not in a hurry either.

After returning to his own home next door, Grandpa had already returned from catching up with the old men in the Shantytown, his emotions slightly melancholic.

"Old Liu has been ill and passed away half a month ago." Wu Mingchang sighed wistfully. "If I had returned a few days earlier, I might have been able to see him one last time."

"Is that so?" Wu Xian also felt a sense of regret.

"But at least he died of old age," Wu Mingchang was quite open-minded. "It's just that when Grandpa's day comes, I hope you can pull yourself together."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wu Xian said with a wry smile. "With your physique, you're far from that?"

But Wu Mingchang shook his head bitterly.

Seeing this, Wu Xian's heart tightened. "What do you mean? Don't tell me your Lifespan is already running out?"

"I've lived a magnificent life, and it's already rare to have survived until now," Wu Mingchang did not respond directly. "And on the path of a Body Cultivator, mistakes are inevitable, thereby overdrawing one's life."
