Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 150 Gears Turning
Zhou Qing had no idea what he was going to be fighting against.

He couldn't see the enemy yet, but he felt a strong sense of oppression.

The strange phenomena he saw in his mental world gave him a strong sense of foreboding.

Within the cultivator's Dao Heart World, there seems to be a connection to another terrifying world, a world that is by no means benevolent.

In addition, based on what he had learned about the current state of the cultivation world over the past two years, the vigilance of the immortal sects towards demonic cultivators, and the fact that more than one senior cultivator had mentioned that the atmosphere among cultivators was becoming increasingly frivolous and that the precepts of the immortal sects were being disregarded more and more.

All these circumstances gave Zhou Qing the impression that something terrifying was coveting this world.

But he knew nothing about it.

Zhou Qing wanted to convince himself that he was worrying unnecessarily.

For countless years in the cultivation world, there have never been any rumors of any terrifying threat, and indeed, no such being has ever actually descended upon us.

In his Dao Heart World, he could also feel that the terrifying power, like a thunderstorm, was hanging overhead but never fell.

If that's the case, why should he worry so much?

After all, he was just a minor Qi Refining cultivator, while countless cultivators far stronger than him were the future rulers of the cultivation world.

However, Zhou Qing could see through it at a glance. All these thoughts were just wishful thinking, a kind of blind trust, making himself believe that since nothing terrible had happened before, it might not happen in the future either.

However, the word "maybe" does not reassure people.

Zhou Qing felt that in order to cope with the possible crisis, he needed a closer group.

The loose relationships between the former fellow apprentices are no longer sufficient.

He needs to truly be the leader of all these people, a leader with real-world binding force.

Moreover, this kind of constraint must be deeply ingrained in one's heart.

Because their enemy may very well come from the depths of their own hearts.

The disciples sensed an impending storm from their senior brother's words, which puzzled them, but they were delighted by the promises he made.

In the end, everyone reached an agreement, granting Zhou Qing a right that none of the previous senior disciples had ever had.

Zhou Qing can request to use the Truth-Seeking Formation to probe the secrets in their hearts at any time, and they cannot refuse.

Zhou Qing promised to teach them the correct methods of cultivating the Dao Heart, and that they could request to be present to supervise them when they broke through their cultivation levels.

They didn't disperse until late at night.

Zhou Qing specifically kept Feng Yuan behind and asked, "You and Wei Kuang are close. Have you heard anything about what's bothering him lately?"

Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "The last time I saw him was half a month ago, and I didn't notice anything unusual about him at the time."

Zhou Qing nodded, letting him leave on his own.

In other words, what happened to Wei Kuang occurred within the past half month.

It's a pity he just left the sect, otherwise he might have been able to detect some clues.

Pity.

With no clues, Zhou Qing had no choice but to turn his attention to the question that was currently attracting his attention the most.

He shouldn't sit idly by and wait for the terrifying being from the Dao Heart World to descend; he should figure out what it is beforehand.

Now he can only guess that the existence might be related to the cultivator's descent into demonic possession.

Since that's the case, those cultivators who have fallen into demonic possession might have some awareness of that thing. Zhou Qing decided to ask Mu Zhuosha about it tomorrow.

Composing himself, Zhou Qing continued to focus on his studies.

Nighttime was always his time to study formations.

His current studies mainly focus on the modification and invention of formations.

The successful optimization of Qing Teng Rao has already brought him profits, and he plans to continue his efforts to optimize more talismans, making his competitive advantage in business even stronger.

Whether it's his personal cultivation or the training of talent, both require massive resources; money is essential.

His current foundation is still not deep enough.

In the Qingyun Sect, he mainly relies on Mu Zhuosha's influence, but relying on others' influence is never as effective as relying on one's own.

At the very least, he cannot command his senior uncles and aunts. If he wants to implement any measures that require their cooperation, he can only discuss them with his senior uncle Mu first, and then have her give the order before the measures can be finally implemented.

If he has his own power, this step can be omitted.

His junior brothers and sisters will be the foundation for him to control the Qingyun Sect's movements and even control larger-scale resources in the future.

Therefore, he needs to create more new talismans to lay the foundation for reaping greater resources in the future.

Zhou Qing currently faces two main challenges. The first is the array used to probe the surrounding environment, which has been on his mind all along.

This is an indispensable part of his own offensive and defensive system.

No matter how strong your offensive and defensive methods are, if you don't have a way to detect the enemy in advance and let them easily sneak up to you, the other methods will ultimately be useless.

Therefore, this formation must be constructed as soon as possible, especially since he is now feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression.

He had no clue about this formation before, but later, when he went to the remote communication formation in the miscellaneous affairs hall with Lu Qiushui, the unique spiritual energy fluctuations generated by the formation gave him some inspiration.

Based on that kind of spiritual energy fluctuation, there might be hope to modify it into a fluctuation frequency band suitable for his use.

Another project came about when optimizing the vine-like vine.

The optimization of the Green Vine Encircling Formation requires the study of metal-attribute spiritual energy and water-attribute spiritual energy, as well as their combination. In this combination, Zhou Qing had observed many interesting phenomena, which gave him some ideas to optimize the Golden Needle Technique in the metal-attribute spells.

Of course, this is just one of the problems he needs to solve in terms of formations.

In terms of overall cultivation, Zhou Qing felt that his current studies, ranked by importance, should be: the Secret Method of Reviving Withered Trees, daily Qi circulation, tempering his Dao heart, researching formations, and magnetic field training.

Among them, the magnetic field training has reached its current peak. Unless the realm breaks through again and the magnetic field ability is greatly improved, there is no need to spend too much energy training the magnetic field now.

After studying diligently all night, as dawn broke in the east, Zhou Qing went out of the courtyard and took a walk in the bamboo forest to dispel his mental fatigue. When he returned, the craftsmen had already begun building the house under Qing Yuan's direction.

Zhou Qing asked Qing Yuan if she wanted to go to Qingyun Mountain with him.

Upon hearing that she was going to see Mu Zhuosha, Qingyuan waved her hands repeatedly as if she had seen a cat, saying, "I'd better not go. I still need to keep an eye on them building the house."

"Don't worry, I'll stay right here and won't wander off."

Zhou Qing didn't force her and headed towards Qingyun Mountain on his own.

Upon arriving at the Sutra Repository, Zhou Qing met Mu Zhuosha.

Mu Zhuosha glanced at him a few times and smiled, "I heard you brought Qingmu's silly daughter back?"
