Chapter 1020 - 722: The Celestial Will Organization’s Method for Breaking Through the Spiritual Power Limit

"She wants to learn the method of breaking through the limits of Spiritual Power, my condition is that she must offer you a Defeat Contract."

"She actually agreed?" Li Zheng looked towards Mudala in surprise.

Not long ago, she was firmly opposed to giving up the Defeat Contract, but now she actually agreed.

Feng Yue speculated beside him, "Could it be that the Defeat Contract of the Destruction Race is related to the strength of Spiritual Power, and she might be thinking of obtaining the Secret Technique to enhance her Spiritual Power, and then forcibly cancel the contract?"

"No need to speculate, she is indeed thinking that way!" A glint of sharpness flashed through Li Zheng’s weary eyes; only this possibility could have changed Mudala’s mind.

Mudala might have seen him use Spiritual Power to defeat the ape-man and thought his Spiritual Power strength was not much stronger than the ape-man’s, after all, Mirel’s previous actions affected the ape-man briefly.

After comparing several aspects, Li Zheng was not surprised at this conclusion.

He thought to himself, "If that’s the case, your plans are bound to fail."

Li Zheng couldn’t help but laugh; he eagerly anticipated seeing Mudala offer up the Defeat Contract and wondered what expression she’d have after perceiving his vast and boundless Spiritual Body.

Dealing with it alone was too slow for Mudala, so Li Zheng had Feng Yue and Mirel help out, and the three quickly cleared a sufficiently large area.

Then Feng Yue went further away to chop down and transport back a large amount of timber, and within half an hour, two simple wooden huts were erected.

Li Zheng had somewhat recovered, stood up, and walked over to Mudala, saying, "Originally, if you voluntarily handed over the Defeat Contract, I would teach you how to condense a Spiritual Power Node. However, I’ve currently exhausted too much, so I’ll rest overnight and teach you tomorrow."

Despite a similar outcome, each person’s motives and nature were entirely different, meaning Mudala was completely removed by Li Zheng from his trust list.

Actually, as long as Mudala was willing to cooperate, he could teach her how to condense a Spiritual Power Node now; he used resting as an excuse merely to deepen Mudala’s impression of his limited strength.

"It’s alright, I’m not in a hurry."

Since the breakdown of negotiations between them, Mudala’s attitude had cooled considerably; if it weren’t for Li Zheng’s display of powerful Spiritual Power, she might not even bother with him.

Mudala left Li Zheng and the others and returned to her wooden hut to organize the destroyed flowers and plants with her tools.

Feng Yue watched her departing figure and said with some regret, "With so many quality options, she chose the worst way to handle it."

Li Zheng knew Feng Yue wanted to say Mudala lacked insight, but he defended Mudala, saying, "After all, we have just met. Expecting her to offer a Defeat Contract that could dictate her life and death to a complete stranger is naturally reasonable for her to decline."

He took Mire into a wooden hut and continued speaking, "But that doesn’t mean I have no opinions about her. My subjective feelings have led me to harbor some dislike towards her."

Li Zheng was annoyed by those who had too many schemes, especially since he always treated others sincerely, with every word and action coming from the heart.

Yet despite this, he rarely received the same response from others.

Though being cautious against others is necessary and others’ actions are understandable, he just couldn’t accept being guarded like a thief when he had no ill intentions.

Mudala and the Suffering Race’s Anan were quite similar; both possessed deep stratagems, and for such people, Li Zheng preferred to keep them at arm’s length.

I treat others with sincerity, yet others don’t reciprocate.

Then sorry, we’re not meant to be, so let’s part ways peacefully with no one seeking benefits from the other.

"You rest for a while; I’ll go bring that fellow here." Mirel told Li Zheng to rest in the wooden hut and then went to drag the ape-man by one foot, pulling his body into the hut.

Li Zheng laid out a bed, leaning against the edge, and as soon as Mirel dragged the ape-man inside, he immediately activated his Spiritual Power to invade the other’s mind once again.

By now, his body had mostly recovered, and the Spiritual Power used this time was far from affecting his physical condition, so there was no major issue.

After the ape-man’s Spiritual Body dissipated, the defense of the Spiritual Realm completely disappeared, allowing Li Zheng to easily penetrate it again, finding himself amidst a sea of fire and lava.

Within seconds, another figure appeared beside him; it was Mirel.

"Is this his Spiritual Realm?" Mirel looked around curiously, "How strange, this person’s Spiritual Realm is actually inside a volcano?"

Li Zheng turned to her, "Why are you here?"

Mirel had already condensed two nodes, significantly strengthening her Spiritual Power, allowing her to enter other people’s Spiritual Realms.

The prerequisite is the other’s complete abandonment of Mental Defense or, like the ape-man, complete collapse of the Spiritual Realm.

"Curious, wanted to take a look." Ever since Li Zheng first entered her Spiritual Realm and described the scenes inside, Mirel had been intensely curious about others’ Spiritual Realms, always eager to venture into them.

"Be careful, entering others’ Spiritual Realms consumes a lot for you; if you can’t hold on, retreat immediately." Li Zheng cautioned her as he drifted towards the center of the sea of fire.

Mirel followed him, saying, "Got it."

In no time, the two reached the center, looking down to see five obsidian-like objects floating and oscillating in the bubbling lava.

"Are those what you mentioned?" Mirel asked, eyes wide with amazement, "They do resemble nodes somewhat, but... their vibe feels strange, wildly out of place in this Spiritual Realm."

Indeed.

Out of place!

While a volcanic setting seems reasonable for a few pieces of obsidian to appear.

Upon contacting with Spiritual Power, it’s apparent that the aura and fluctuations of those five pieces of obsidian do not belong here.

Moreover, they have absolutely no similarity with the ape-man’s own Spiritual Power fluctuations.

"It’s as if... someone else’s Spiritual Power was left in this ape-man’s Spiritual Realm." As she spoke, a shocking realization struck her, and she exchanged glances with Li Zheng, who had a similar thought.

"The Celestial Will Organization’s method for exceeding Spiritual Power limits involves seizing someone else’s Spiritual Power source as an additional vessel for accommodating Spiritual Power!"

The two simultaneously voiced this conclusion.

"So the Soul Loss patients didn’t have their Spiritual Bodies scattered and disappear, but rather they were taken from the Spiritual Realm by some means, turned into obsidian-like objects, and implanted into the user’s Spiritual Realm!"

Each obsidian piece in the ape-man’s Spiritual Realm equates to a living human life!
