nBlack Panther knew Luo Ting’s personality well. He knew that since he had made up his mind, he would not have the power to change it.

n“Young Master, I will go arrange things.”

nLuo Ting nodded with satisfaction as an eerie smile flashed across his face: “After I’m gone, you have to take care of some other business for me.”

n“Please give the order.”

n“Use your network to get a group of elite warriors for a trip to the human countries. I heard that Qin Wushuang has a family and a sect over there. His sect has publicly declared their hostility towards the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect. Due to the restraints of the ten thousand year contract set by the five major Spiritual Forbidden Zones, our Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect cannot send elite warriors to get involved directly. This time, the people I want you to use must not be related to the sect. At most, it cannot be related to you and me, understand?”

nBlack Panther’s expression was slightly surprised as he said: “Young Master, this…”

n“Tell me, do you understand?” Luo Sen asked with a steely voice.

nStunned, Black Panther immediately said: “I understand.”

n“Since you understand, you should also know what to do, right?”

nBlack Panther thought for a moment as he did not know how to answer. Thus, he said with a terrified tone: “Please advise me.”

n“No, I have nothing to advise you. I need you to think it on your own. If you have enough loyalty to me, you must finish this business on your own. Regardless of it being successful or not, it has nothing to do with me. After it’s successful, what you need to do is to just let some tiny individuals disappear and forget the matter. If you fail, it also has nothing to do with me. You must annihilate all troubles before it can connect back to you. This fire must never reach me.”

nFinally, Black Panther understood completely. Young Master was staying out of it to remain innocent. This was a test, a test of his loyalty.

n“Young Master, how about I send a few close suicidal warriors to do it. Those tiny individuals in the human countries most likely did not even have elite warriors at the Void Martial Stage. I will only need to send three or five suicidal warriors at the Refined Void Martial Stage. They would be enough to sweep that Stargaze Palace clean. What do you think, Young master?”

nLuo Ting said lightly: “Your close suicidal warriors are still people of the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect. Once the matter is exposed, it would get traced back to the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect. The matter of annihilating a sect is detested by both humans and gods. We must completely kick the trouble to others. This method will not work.”

n“Then I will issue a bounty mission.”

n“Killing Qin Wushuang is within the boundary of the Xuan Yuan Mound. It’s reasonable to not be afraid of letting others know about the reward bounty. However, when you do the killings in the human countries, how could you issue a mission like this? Do you think that those people at the Freelance Martial Artist Union are easy people to deal with? Even if you issued the bounty anonymously, they would have a hundred methods to find out your identity. This method will not work the same way.”

nAfter the two suggestions had been denied, Black Panther was somewhat depressed. He thought for a moment, suddenly, he had an idea: “Young Master, this matter must be done by those freelance martial artists, in order to completely let us stay out of it. This is the only way to use those freelance martial artists and to let the union stay out of it. I will get in touch with some freelance martial artists and make a hidden trade without the Union.”

nWhen he said these words, Black Panther thought that this method was perfect as he added: “You know that the freelance martial artists at he Xuan Yuan Mound are more abundant than the ants. Most of them are poor destitute people. Certainly they would do this business for money and for their potential future.”

n“If money can solve these problems, it would be rather preferable. However, Black Panther, have you thought that while we issue the bounty to kill Qin Wushuang, the same time his family and sect is attacked. Regardless, Heavenly Luo Daoist sect will be the first suspect. Still, this method is not perfect.”

nInitially, Black Panther thought that this method was good enough. He didn’t expect that it would also be rejected.

n“Young Master, in your opinion, what is the perfect method?”

n“The perfect method? Of course—to get someone else to do the dirty work!” After Luo Ting said these words, that eerie smile on the corner of his mouth had become even more apparent.

n“To get someone else do the dirty work? By whose knife?” Inwardly, Black Panther had ten thousand questions and could not understood how to implement this tactic.

n“Let whoever is the most greedy do it. Black Panther, in this world, how many killing motivations can you list?” Luo Ting asked casually.

nBlack Panther thought a bit and answered: “The motive behind killing people basically boils down to profits, revenge, or beauty.”

n“Yes, you are finally right. It’s not hatred, and not beauty, we are talking about profits. You know that deep inside a human’s nature, they are all greedy. You are not unfamiliar with the words ‘blinded by greed,’ right? We will use such interests to guide those unfamiliar blades to our target.”

n“Young Master, I’d like to hear the details.” Black Panther became interested.

n“Think about that human countries, how much benefit are there that would let elite warriors of the Xuan Yuan Mound kill regardless of all consequences?”

n“Didn’t you say a moment ago the majority of the freelance martial artists were poor people? The more poor they are, the more they would have the nefarious nature of a fugitive. Once there are enough benefits, it would be enough to make them ignore all results. The human countries does not have enough benefits to make them work for it. However, you were born with a mouth. Can you not make up some beautiful rumors?

nAs soon as Luo Ting had said these words, Black Panther had realized the light instantly. All the doubts and questions were resolved.

nThat’s right, it would be to make up rumors. Sometimes, rumors would be more crazy than the truth!

nAs soon as the Black Panther had realized the light, he also laughed as he bowed: “Young Master, rest assured. I already know what to do for this matter. Borrowing someone else’s life to do the work, that’s right, let someone else do it! Ha ha, Young Master, I will create the perfect rumors to let those greedy butcher’ knife surge towards the human countries with madness.”

n“Remember, be clean. The first principal of this matter is to not to let troubles get traced back to the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect. This is the bottom-line.”

nBlack Panther patted his chest: “Young Master, if the rumors are capable of creating troubles, then I have lived my life in vain. Rest assured, this matter will be unnoticeable like the ghost, as if those rumors had grown from the air.”

nLuo Ting was overjoyed: “Good, then I will wait for the day when the good news comes from the Xuan Yuan Mound.”

n“Yes, Black Panther retreated respectfully.

nLuo Ting watched Black Panther taking his leave while the muscle on his face trembled slightly. Vicious lights flashed in his eyes: “Mu Rong Xu, Mu Rong Xu, you avoided me, looked down on me, humiliated me, and detested me, I will use actual actions to respond to you. I will let the outside world know that wherever you go, Mu Rong Xu, you are a disaster. Those people who have interacted with you will not meet a good fate!”

nThe maddening, yet nefarious mumbling combined with distorted, and almost demonic expression made Luo Ting appear extremely terrifying and vicious.

n…

nAt the Crest Mountain, Qin Wushuang trained everyday from morning to dusk. He was rather carefree as he explored around the mountain area. Although after a few days, Qin Wushuang had not shed a new leaf and entered the Void Martial Stage, the changes from the training each day was obvious.

nHe knew that the Void Martial Stage was within grasp. Perhaps, it would arrive in the next moment, or it would knock on the door with another ten days or half a month. Everything only showed signs, there were no exact times.

nTo put it precisely, this was not just a simple process regarding training, but also a breakthrough in the mentality as he needed the right timing and the realization.

nAnd Bao Bao and Lone took turns to defend him. At the same time, these two guys were also practicing the “Pupil Attachment Technique” hard.

nThis “Pupil Attachment Technique” was abnormal. Firstly, it required a high condition to their pupils. Each day, they must use the depth of the pupil to focus at one target and they had to fix their gazes unmoving. This was to exercise the penetration ability of the pupil.

nThis was only the first step.

nTo truly master this “Pupil Attachment Technique,” besides this basic foundation, they needed to practice the sensation of the pupil to emit lights. In other words, they must use their eyes to challenge the piercing sunlight, the pure moonlight, the clear mirror like lake…

nIn general, the more sensitive they became to the lights, it meant that the more expansion and the sensation their pupils could generate.

nFor such methods of practice, if one had practiced it without being at the Void Martial Stage, they would have become blind. After having practiced for a few days, Bao Bao and Lone finally understood the reason behind the condition for one having to be at the Refined Void Martial Stage to practice this technique.

nWithout the strength of the Void Martial Stage, one would be digging their own graves by practicing this “Pupil Attachment Technique”

nEveryday, Qin Wushuang did not have fixed plans. Currently, his Dantian was full. In other words, he already met the basic condition for a breakthrough.

nThe spiritual Qi in his Dantian was extremely substantial and rich. At the moment, like the spring silkworm spitting silk, the spiritual Qi continued forming into a cocoon.

nThe Void Martial Stage was a stage where one regained the natural state, dug into one’s true-self and enhanced the transformation stage. In other words, once he had entered the Void Martial Stage, the spiritual Qi would no longer be scattered and fragmentary. All of his spiritual Qi would form into a whole piece.

nThis whole piece would directly merge with the martial artist’s spiritual perception and form into a whole entity. This whole entity was the primordial spirit.

nOf course, this primordial spirit was not the true Divine Stage, but only an abstract primordial spirit. It was an abstract and empty form that could not survive by itself once it had broken away from the original body. This abstract body was not equivalent to the true independent living being.

nThis was the essential difference between the Void Martial Stage and the Divine Martial Stage.

nIn the Divine Martial Stage, the primordial spirit merged with the soul to form into a divine spirit. Even if the original body was destroyed, the divine spirit could live on its own without it.

nOf course, the primordial spirit formed during the Void Martial Stage was the embryonic form of the divine spirit. It was the starting point towards the divine Dao. Only after the primordial spirit had gone through the vicissitudes of life would it climb to the indestructible divine stage steps by steps. Without this primordial spirit stage, of course there would be none of the indestructible divine stage.

nThis was a sequential process, step by step.

nCurrently, Qin Wushuang had not grasped these principles completely. He was also searching each step along the way. Each step he had taken after entering the Upper Sky Spiritual Martial Force had been a new height that Qin Wushuang had never achieved before. The more higher he climbed, the more it meant closer he was to the supreme stage.
