Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill

Chapter 148 - 129: The Use of Divine Thought

Divine Thought, at the beginning, was very weak for the first few days, only able to slightly move and lift objects such as a water cup.

In combat, its usefulness was essentially zero.

However, considering he seldom fought and even when he did, he barely used his Divine Thought,

Wang Sheng initially didn’t pay much attention to it until a few days later, when he utilized Divine Thought together with the Qi Blood Power needed to construct potent medicine.

At that moment, Wang Sheng truly realized the terrifying nature of Divine Thought.

It was just an accident at first.

Although the power of Divine Thought was small, Wang Sheng still forged a small flying dagger from Blood-forged Steel, and played with it using Divine Thought Control when he had nothing else to do.

It wasn’t a big deal, except that at that moment, he inadvertently also invoked his Qi Blood Power.

You should know that "Divine" and Qi Blood Power are inherently fused together.

Wang Sheng’s Qi Blood Power was actually a product of the fusion between "Divine" and pure Qi-Blood, also known as Essence Qi, and Divine Thought was born from it.

The strength of Divine Thought was influenced by his Qi Blood Power, a fact he was always clear about.

But he never imagined that the influence would manifest in such a peculiar way.

The Qi Blood Power could directly amplify Divine Thought, or rather, endow Divine Thought with the characteristics of Qi Blood Power.

At that moment, Sheng was merely using Divine Thought to pass the time by controlling the small dagger while also training his control over Divine Thought.

But the moment Qi Blood Power got involved, the power of Divine Thought suddenly increased greatly; if he hadn’t swiftly restrained most of the power, his residence would likely have been completely destroyed.

Even so, it still left a deep pit more than a meter in diameter,

Da Bai and Yun Xiao, watching from the side, were almost scared out of their wits.

As spirit beasts, they retained the advantages of wild beasts, such as their sense of crisis.

In their perception, the power of the small flying dagger, if not restrained from the start, would certainly have annihilated them.

Wang Sheng, looking at the two, also felt a bit embarrassed as he had almost failed to control the power.

Being of Grandmaster Level, such mistakes were unforgivable.

"Cough, cough, it’s okay, just testing a new ability, won’t happen next time!"

Afterward, Wang Sheng had Da Bai take him to his usual training ground.

"I remember at that time, I used Divine Thought while allowing Qi Blood Power to influence the medicine..."

Following that initial sensation, Wang Sheng controlled the floating dagger with his Divine Thought. The dagger floated steadily beside him, a testament to the effectiveness of his days of practice.

Soon, as he mobilized the Qi Blood Power, the strength of Divine Thought, like before, suddenly intensified.

"Woong?"

The flying dagger emitted a light metallic hum, seemingly making the air itself tremble.

"Go!"

Without hesitation, Wang Sheng sent the flying dagger flying towards a small hill a few hundred meters away.

Whoosh!

It seemed as though something was cut open, and then Wang Sheng saw the top portion of the hill slowly slide to the side and eventually the whole hill fell off the cliff.

Unlike bows and arrows that prioritize destructive power and could directly obliterate a hill,

the flying dagger under the control of Divine Thought emphasized cutting ability.

Of course, that’s not to say the flying dagger lacked destructive power— the pit in his home proved that the dagger’s destructive power was substantial but compared to it, its cutting capability was far superior.

"Is this the power of a flying sword?"

Even though it was a dagger, calling it the Flying Sword Technique wasn’t really a problem.

Once back, he’d forge a few flying swords with Blood-forged Steel. With Divine Thought producing such effects, he naturally wanted to make the most of it.

The double-edged flying swords would be more convenient to use with Divine Thought.

Besides testing the object-moving effects, he also tested the range of influence of Divine Thought.

How far Divine Thought could maintain its power was also very important.

The final test result was quite satisfactory; the maximum range of Divine Thought was two kilometers, within which he could easily control the flying dagger to exert its greatest power.

Although he couldn’t kill someone from a thousand miles away, this was just the beginning, and Wang Sheng was already very pleased.

After all, he had only completed one-fifth of the Refining stage.

Once he fully mastered the great medicine, not to mention the strengthening of Divine Thought, the Qi Blood Power would also become stronger, and eventually, the distance would definitely not be just this.

When he might attain the ability to kill someone from a thousand miles away, Wang Sheng didn’t know, but he did know one thing— as his strength increased, it was absolutely possible.

He held great expectation for this.

Wang Sheng also tested the bow and arrow, not for power, but for precision.

With the aid of Divine Thought, his archery could finally achieve perfect accuracy.

Of course, this was just a bonus.

With his archery skills, even without Divine Thought, he would have eventually reached this level.

The tests were not yet complete; the flying dagger and the bow and arrow were just tests of how Divine Thought could enhance combat methods.

The functional aspect of Divine Thought itself had not been tested.

Using it to carry water and other mundane tasks was too trivial; Wang Sheng was truly interested in the exploratory effects of Divine Thought.

When Divine Thought could not be used in a tangible way, he could subtly use it to probe for information.
