Chapter 1684 - Face Slapping
Zhao Hai looked at the jade plate with curiosity. The jade plate looked very refined like a work of art. It wasn’t large, just the size of a palm. It had a hollow design and was very light to hold. There’s a faint white light emanating from it, adding on to its radiant beauty.
Zhao Hai looked at the runes on the jade plate. It was a simplified version of the faith power gathering formation. No wonder it could be used like this.
After seeing this, Zhao Hai soon lost interest. His mind moved and used his spiritual force to probe the plate. As soon as he came in contact with the jade plate, he immediately felt a familiar energy. However, compared to his own faith power, it was greatly inferior. If the jade plate in Zhao Hai’s heart contained a drop’s worth of faith power, then Zhao Hai’s own stock of faith power was an entire ocean. The two quantities simply couldn’t be compared.
With an intention, Zhao Hai absorbed the faith power inside the jade disk. There was no response from his body as the golden light vanished.
Zhao Hai tried to inject his own faith power to the jade disk but it was useless. At this time, only he could use his faith power, so it cannot be stored in the jade disk.
Laura and the others were looking at Zhao Hai, wanting to see how Zhao Hai would react. However, they found out that Zhao Hai’s expression didn’t change at all, which caused them to be disappointed.
Zhao Hai looked at their eyes as he smiled faintly and said, “This amount of faith power is too little for me. Later, when they give me faith power, I’ll hand it over for you to use. There are two portions here, Laura, Cai’er, you two use it first.”
Only Zhao Hai can use the Space’s faith power, this caused him to be worried about Laura and the others. But the portions that he was allocated have solved the problem. Although the faith power provided by the Black Tiger Gang is too small, it was enough for Laura and the others to use.
At the same time, Zhao Hai prepared to understand the Black Tiger Gang’s method of distributing, collecting, and utilizing faith power. In the future, he might be able to use this knowledge to share the Space’s faith power. In that case, Laura and the others would have all the faith power they would need.
Megan and the others didn’t oppose it. In any case, they would receive faith power in the future. Who absorbed first or last didn’t matter. Laura was the big sister that everyone acknowledged, so she deserved to get the first portion. As for Cai’er, she administers the entire Space, so she should be the one using the second portion.
Cai’er and Laura nodded and received the jade disks that Zhao Hai handed over. After using their spiritual force, they absorbed the faith power inside. Before long, the jade disks in their hands lost their radiance. However, there wasn’t too big of a response from their bodies. They just felt their bodies become more comfortable.
The underwhelming effect was because of their living environment. There was almost no pollution and toxins in the Space. Because of this, the body transformation that faith power provided wasn’t very obvious.
After seeing the two women absorb faith power, Zhao Hai said, “We’ll depart for the foreign trial in half a month. This time we need to pay attention to the subspace’s environment. I’m curious about it. Is it like the boundless universe of the World of Cultivation? I want to see.”
Laura and the others nodded. They have experienced the boundless universe, but they didn’t believe that the Great World of Cultivation was limitless. From their point of view, it can’t be possible. Therefore, they were curious about this foreign trial.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “You should go take a rest in the next few days. I believe that we would get busy once we go outside the territory. This time, it’s not just the Black Tiger Gang’s disciples that would be present. We would also meet cultivators from different sects.”
Laura smiled and said, “The Great World of Cultivation’s 9 provinces would send their disciples over, it would certainly be noisy. I’m afraid a fight would be inevitable. When that time comes, we can see what kinds of techniques the Great World of Cultivation has.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Right. Our understanding of the Great World of Cultivation is still very small. Since we have this opportunity, we have to make use of it well.”
Zhao Hai and the others proceeded to talk about various matters, including Zhang Feng. Meanwhile, Zhang Feng returned to the Black Tiger Gang’s headquarters using his treasure ship. Actually he came to show off his new large artifact. He wanted to let everyone know that Zhang Feng now has his own large artifact. Moreover, it wasn’t bestowed by the gang. He acquired it himself.
Zhang Feng’s popularity within the sect wasn’t very small. After all, he was someone who openly challenged the top ten core disciples. This caused many people inside the Black Tiger Gang to be supportive of Zhang Feng.
However, the top ten core disciples have large artifacts while Zhang Feng doesn’t. Despite also having his own personal mountain, Zhang Feng’s image was still lower compared to the top ten core disciples.
Because of this, Zhang Feng was obsessed with acquiring a large artifact. Now that he has a large artifact, and it was something that he acquired on his own, the narrative has changed.
Yes, the top ten core disciples are valued by the gang, to the point where they have been given large artifacts. However, those large artifacts belong to the gang, and they were just taking advantage of their status. Zhang Feng has the same strength as the top ten core disciples, but he didn’t enter the Core Sect, so he wasn’t given a Black Tiger Ship.
But now, Zhang Feng managed to get his large artifact. This explains that Zhang Feng has the strength to acquire his own large artifact. It’s even possible that he’s more formidable than the core disciples.
This new narrative caused middle to low-level disciples to worship Zhang Feng.
In fact, it wasn’t only middle to low-level disciples who were won over by Zhang Feng. Inner Disciples were beginning to rethink their position.
In the past, Zhang Feng trained Inner Disciples but these disciples also wanted to become core disciples to gain more resources. In the end, they defected to the side of the top ten core disciples. Jin Zhengyin was one example of this.
Because of this, Zhang Feng began recruiting people like Hao Xing. They were strong, but that was strong in the Inner Sect’s standard. It would be close to impossible for these people to be promoted to become core disciples.
As for the Core Disciples, there were very few people who sided with Zhang Feng. The Core Sect could be said to be the top ten core disciples’ territory.
Speaking of which, it was because of Zhang Feng’s identity that the Core Disciples felt more superior against the Inner Disciples. Even if Zhang Feng has the same strength as the top ten core disciples, Core Disciples would still feel that it was beneath them to be under Zhang Feng, someone from the Inner Sect.
At the same time, the Core Disciples don’t believe in Zhang Feng’s strength. A large artifact often represents a person’s power. Although the large artifact of the top ten Core Disciples was bestowed by the sect, it was almost impossible for the sect to take it away. As long as the top ten core disciples kept their status, the large artifact belonged to them. A large artifact itself was equal to the strength of a hundred cultivators. It was a kind of deterrent to those who dare challenge the top ten.
Zhang Feng’s weak spot were large artifacts! But now this weakness has been solved. Zhang Feng has his own large artifact. This caused Zhang Feng’s perceived strength to soar. Those who were under Zhang Feng were elated by the news.
However, people have only heard that Zhang Feng has acquired a large artifact. They didn’t know what it looked like. Some people even doubted whether Zhang Feng really had a large artifact. Because of this, Zhang Feng decided to return to the sect headquarters using his large artifact. This was to show everyone that he, Zhang Feng, has indeed acquired his own large artifact.
Zhang Feng stood on the ship’s bow as he looked at the fast approaching Black Tiger Mountains. His heart was beating with excitement. He already forgot how many years he yearned for a large artifact. The top ten core disciples used his lack of a large artifact to pressure him. Now he wants to see how the Core Disciples deal with him.
Hao Xing stood on Zhang Feng’s side as he said, “Senior Brother. We will be entering the Black Tiger Mountains. Where do you want to descend?”
Zhang Feng replied, “Let’s go to the sect gate first and we’ll park it there. I want everyone to see it while I visit Martial Uncle.” Hao Xing nodded without saying anything.
At this time, Zhang Feng noticed a black spot approaching him. Zhang Feng adjusted his eyesight and saw that it was a Black Tiger Ship. Moreover, Zhang Feng knew who this Black Tiger Ship belonged to, it was Sima Yin Long.
Zhang Feng stared, then he revealed a strange smile as he said, “Sima Yin Long actually came to greet me. He wants to destroy my large artifact? Little Xing, make preparations. Open the storage room. I want to see how Sima Yin Long fares against me.” Hao Xing complied and immediately left.
Hao Xing couldn’t help but admire Zhang Feng. If he was in Zhang Feng’s shoes, he would have immediately showed off his large artifact the moment he acquired it. But Zhang Feng didn’t do this. Instead, Zhang Feng assigned people to various functions of the ship first and let them familiarize with its operation. This was because the ship had a very basic method of attack, which was ramming the enemy. If the crew were to familiarize themselves with the ship’s operation, then they would be more prepared when battle comes.
If they hadn’t prepared, then Sima Yin Long’s appearance would certainly catch them off-guard. But now, they don’t have to be afraid.
Sima Yin Long was in one of the Black Tiger Ship’s eyes. The eyes were made of red crystals, which were known to be defensively strong. It can also allow people to see through it. Sima Yin Long stood there as he looked at the approaching treasure ship.
Sima Yin Long knew that Zhang Feng would come back. So he wanted to see what kind of large artifact Zhang Feng had acquired. At the same time, he wanted to demonstrate his authority to Zhang Feng. He wanted Zhang Feng to understand that his large artifact was inferior to the Black Tiger Ship.
In other words, Sima Yin Long was going to slap Zhang Feng’s face!
