After arriving back at his home, Ren Wei absorbed the memories of his clone.
From that, he knew many things have changed.
When he was done reviewing the memories, he opened his eyes slowly.
"So, a new city lord has taken the authority of Black Swan City." He said to himself.
'Hum... since he is from provincial capital, maybe he might know some information of the so called Heavenly Sword Domain. Or atleast someone or something that knows about it.' With that thought in his mind, Ren Wei hurriedly left his home without delaying, in the dark night.
Before he meet with the so called city lord, he decided to first towards the spiritual garden the Nan Brothers found.
In the dark night, Ren Wei lew passed the dense thick forest. From one tree to another. In a single leap, he crossed more than 100 meters.
And just like that, before long, he was already in the sight of the Black Swan City. It only took him about 20 minutes. Which was a considerable leap from his last duration.
However, instead of heading towards the city, he turned sideways and Wen towards the direction of the spiritual garden.
In just a few minutes, he arrived at the cave entrance of the spiritual garden.
The moment he arrived at the entrance of the cave, he immediately spread out his spiritual sense. A quick scanned and he already knew the layout.
But when he tried to go deeper into the cave, he found out that his sense could not go any further into the cave. It was like an iron wall was blocking his way.
He let out a smile when he realized what was going on. "Interesting, a spiritual garden within a spiritual formation."
He slowly walked into the cave. There, at the end of the cave, he saw the wooden gate with fogs.
Sling...
Ren Wei activated his Ghost Karma Pupils and easily got the information of the formation.
[Item: Veil Mist Array.
Grade: Low Mysterious Grade.
Details: Conceal the area inside the formation. And to prevent detection from outside, a layer fog covers the edges. It also prevent leaking of Qi.]
'A concealed type array formation. The owner must have been a rich cultivator.' Ren Wei thought to himself. "Well, let's see what is exactly inside."
He calmly walked into the fog through the wooden gate.
As soon as he walked through the foggy wooden gate, he arrived inside the garden.
Immediately, he saw the Nan Brothers tending the spiritual herbs.
When they saw him, they stopped what they were doing and approached him. "Boss." They greeted in a respectful manner.
Ren Wei nodded as greeting back to them. Then, he turned around to check.
He walked around the corners, checking if there was anything wrong with the spiritual garden.
The Nan Brothers followed behind him.
When they saw him suddenly stopped around a corner, they also stopped. Nan Chen asked. "Boss, what's wrong?"
Without a word, Ren Wei suddenly drove his fingers into the soil.
Chuk.....
His action startled the Nan Brothers. They didn't know what to make of it. Ren Wei action was the equivalent of destroying the spiritual garden. But none of them tried to stop.
They knew, their boss must have a good reason for doing that.
And they were right. Ren Wei did that because he found something.
For a array formation to continue operating, it must consume spiritual Qi. However, only those array formations that were specifically made for absorbing Qi from the surrounding nature was capable of doing it. Others need a medium. Like humans providing there Qi from time to time. Or a spiritual stone that contains refined Qi.
So, for a conceal type array formation to be working for a long time without exhausting itself was suspicious. There can be only two reason for that.
One, the owner must be still alive and must be providing the Qi needed by the formation. And two, something with large amount of Qi must be at the source point.
The first one was impossible since the Nan Brothers has been occupying the area for more than 2 months now.
So, only the second reason was possible.
Hump...
Ren Wei scooped out a large chunk of earth from the garden. And his hunch was right.
He casually tossed the bug chunk of soil on the side and told the Nan Borthers to take a look at the pit.
Curious, they quickly surrounded the pit. Inside the bottom of the pit, they saw a shocking shocking scene.
There was a corpse of a man sitting in a meditating position. His body was still in the perfect condition. With no signs of being decayed. It was a visible proof of how strong was the man when he was alive.
And it was also the Qi source for both the spiritual garden and the array formation.
Without thinking Ren Wei quickly activated pupils. But when he directly looked at the corpse again with his ability, he felt a pang of force hitting his eyes.
For the first time in his life, he felt pain when looking at something with his Ghost Karma Pupils.
So, he hurriedly closed them. Only then, the pain eased.
Even though he activated his Pupils for a split second, he got what he need.
Following his action, the Nan Brothers tried to do the same— activating their eyes skills.
Snapped...
With a snapped of his finger, Ren Wei stopped the Nan Brothers. They were all frozen in the midst of their action.
"Do you guys want to go blind forever." His voice sounded angry.
But the Nan Brothers could clearly feel the concern in the voice. Like a father scolding his sons.
His voice brought them back to the reality. They quickly realized the phrase Ren Wei told the long ago. "Never peek at powerful people."
Ren Wei gathered back the soil he scooped up from the pit and put it back. He also reinforced the area for better proof.
Before he left the spiritual garden, he gave treasures and advise he thought the Nan Brothers need. And he also specifically told them to start expanding their operation beyond the Black Swan City. Which the Nan Brothers also agreed.
He himself didn't know why he build an organization in the first and why told them to search for information. It was just a hunch he felt he would need in the future.
If not, with his rapidly growing power, he could search for the information on his own. Why would need for the Nan Brothers to do that.
Walking out of the cave, he took a deep breath. Then, he remembered the scene when he peak at the corpse.
At that split second, he was dragged into an unknown dimension. There he saw a man, most likely the owner of the corpse, transforming himself into fascinating gains body.
And with a calm and cold face, he struck against the very earth then the sky. Unable to withstand the powerful pressure, the very dimension itself crumbled. Then, he was transported back to his body.
It felt like an eternity inside the realm, but only a split second was passed on the outside reality.
"What a powerful force. Saint Body Realm.. huh? I will be there soon." Ren Wei murmured to himself as he walked away from the cave.
Whoosh...
Before long, he left the area in a very fast speed and headed towards the Black Swan City.
On his way, he opened the information he got from the quick peek.
[Item: Human Corpse.
Realm: Saint Body Realm Level 4 (when alive).]
That's it. No other information other than the two. But that was enough for him. He only needed to know the source of the unlimited Qi for the spiritual garden. And now he got something valuable, a peek towards the powerful Saint Body Realm.
From it, Ren Wei got some ideas of how to safely advance. He even got an idea of his future Saint Body.
He closed the information and sped up his pace.
By the time he arrived at the city, it was about to be midnight. No one was out side their home. Not even a small fly was on the street.
And all the guards of the city was already in their deep sleep.
Ren Wei didn't bother stopping here and there, he directly went towards the newly built city lord mansion.
Using his powerful spiritual sense, he quickly found out the room that Wang Lin was staying.
It was large room, filled with a large bed, a table, a small book shelf.
Ironically, a large window was also present there, as if he didn't care about people sneaking into his room.
Well, it was understandable for him. Besides the Nan Brothers, there was o other people who were at the Acquired Qi Realm. And also, the Nan Brothers were weaker than him.
Ren Wei scoffed and tried to enter through the window. But he quickly found something. It was small alarming array formation surrounding the room.
'So, he is still a cautious man.' Too bad for Wang Lin, the intruder was Ren Wei.
