XIANXIA: WHY AM I HERE? - Chapter 261 - 261 Staying grounded!

261 Staying grounded!

Time flies, and after half a month Wang had already covered half of his journey, and the journey, he was trying out his current combat power. Soul power had become stronger than before but he did not seem that impressed with it yet, his consciousness has even exaggerated coverage. He might have some regrets about not being able to break through, but it did not disturb his state of mind at all. But at the same time, he was very impressed by the combat power he could display in his current state. In the end, he seemed to have a bold idea about gathering numerous innate substances before attempting to break through.

Although he was tempted to use the hidden Cave space again, he knew it was almost not worth it yet. He would make a choice after he discovers the quantity of innate substance gathered by the altar. The innate substance is going to be a big determinant of whether he takes this step or not, but after all, it is the safest and most beneficial way for him. Rather than be in a hurry he would even look for ways to set up the innate gathering mechanism inside the hidden cave space, but unfortunately, he was aware that could not work. Having no perception is already tough and yet there is also the issue with all other forces in his body being suppressed except for physical strength and for Ruruo, her swordsmanship could not be suppressed.

All in all, it is this had no benefit to him, after all even if he had mastered his swordsman to the same level as her it would not have any benefits in the setting up of a formation. Although the time in the hidden cave space seemed to be moving faster compared to the outside, he had no control of anything in there, moreover, he had that feeling when he stood at the place deemed as the center as though the depths of the place were not very friendly to the current him. That is because his strength might not be capable of assisting him to survive in that place at all.

So he was decisive when leaving the city covered in his formations and all of them were set up in a way that they hid the existence of the hidden cave space, and at the same time, the mountain he had raised in the town seemed to have a more important role. It would make sure that no one can easily find the location of the hidden cave space and the formations he included on it seem to have a very important role in making the mountain less conspicuous from the eyes of everyone. Such things seem to have little attraction to others.

The more formations he kept adding the more powerful the effect become and even he did not dare say that someone in the heaven and man realm could destroy the mountain with their full shot. After all, that is a mass of formations and he used some principles of unloading on the formation such that the attacks that were being pushed towards the mountain would be evenly distributed in the entire city area. In this way, the use of force would only seem like a waste of time and not even attract much attention since there are many things in the world that are harder than even such a mountain.

Having the ability to make others think twice is already considered a big deal. When someone in that level dares not to cause trouble it means that the means being used are indeed good. The lower realms and even those like Ruruo stronger in the law state level would not waste their time bombarding a mountain unless they are the bored type. But such types of people he did not care about at all after their actions would just be futile. In the end, he was not very much interested in the mountain but in the hidden cave that could be used by his family once he finished setting some connecting points back on their territory. He was certain that the use of the formations he set up had even surpassed the teleportation formations he had in the huge tree used to cross the forest to the region with a huge river.

That area has indeed been very useful to him and the current attainments in the way of formations seemed to have started from there. The terrifying formations in that region seemed to have also managed to make Wang grounded even after he achieved some success in his formation level, and he can be sure that the other formations beyond the world array are very much not something he can even observe, let alone observe. To observe it he has to use the mind power and he dares not go beyond the second formation as he could feel a threat from the end of the second formation. This managed to tell him that the second formation setup, is not something one can study just because they feel like it.

The situation might have seemed like pressure but to someone like Wang, it gave him a slap and grounded him. In this way, he can understand that regardless of the improvements in his formation knowledge or even cultivation, higher levels still exist and he should not be full of himself at All. To some extent, it also tells him to stop overreaching about things that he can not manage at all. In the end, such behavior might only become harmful to him. After all, even in the current issue about the realm, he had yet to go any further. The were many experts in the law state beyond the law domain level. And those elites in this realm are not something he can mess with as just like him they have exaggerated combat power and seem to mostly even challenge those beyond their level. Thinking of this he then becomes very calm and focused on dealing with the current level he is on that perusing things out of his reach. He is after all even if were to think too much nothing good could come out of this other than being depressed.

He had already seen the situation in the hidden cave space and knew clearly about the first two challenges when one enters after experiencing it, but the third level was not something he could guarantee to know. Neither is the test of the tests, but he can be sure that each of them had some kind of impressive lesson, and approaching in a hurry just to get short-term gains is merely foolish. He also wanted to go back and deal with the issues so that when a formation connecting the cave to his territory is made, Ruruo and Fengxi could also manage to get the benefits of the hidden cave space without having to travel so far.

…..

Even with the existence of a high-level weapon such as the alter which seemed damaged, Wang never felt any sense of security. For him, security only comes from one having strength, and the time in the previous world, numerous conflicts the couple had indeed improved all the way to the level of a world master, but when things went in a bad direction, even though they survived, they knew it was due to being in an independent space. Such being the case, the two could only imagine the type of power that managed to cause such destruction. At the same time, the couple was lucky that they had gone all over the place, and their family might have been separated forever.

So the use of high-level weapons by someone like Wang is very limited because he can be sure that in most cases the other party might also have the same or even better type of trump card. After all, no matter how strong a weapon or triumph card is, the power it contains is something external. But in the end, martial artists try to do everything with intention of being self-sufficient. So obviously, Wang is the one with the belief that body strengthening can continue infinitely unlike the weapons, which is depends on the quality of materials used to forge. But humans evolve and adapt to changes to their own bodies and can even go further and further.

“Well, the territory is already within my range of perception.” When Wang was lost in thought he had already covered the distance towards the territory he stayed.

But what he did not know was that Ruruo was busy chasing after someone. She seemed to have some deep hatred and wanted to resolve it before anything else and the other party seemed to be hiding for some reason, thus making it hard for her to track their trail. Ice Sect indeed seems like her previous life’s trauma that she has never mentioned but due to her physique she was once turned into a cultivation cauldron by imprisoning her and continuously extracting something from her body until the day she barely escaped their entrapment but she was already at her end.
