Spirit cultivation and immortality, how do you control an aircraft carrier?

In modern warfare systems, intelligence and information are of paramount importance.

It could even be described as a line between life and death.

Especially when facing a completely unknown combat system like magic.

Researchers on the home planet have repeatedly emphasized in their reports to Shen Huang the need to collect relevant intelligence and even actual data as soon as possible.

I just haven't found the opportunity yet.

Even the brief scene of Yin Kongtian's intervention when Xiao Wan was awakened was repeatedly studied by a group of experts and scholars.

The flying speed of the spirit, the angle of control, the possible ways in which spiritual power may exert its influence, and so on.

Not a single frame was missed!

This demonstrates the importance these experts and scholars attach to the matter.

Even for this reason, Shen Huang could not easily give up recording this magical battle.

But there's a problem.

Before leaving, Yin Kongtian gave Shen Huang a short sword at the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm for protection. This meant that Shen Huang could not display the surveillance footage on his phone screen, otherwise the short sword would easily detect it.

"Master, I can directly transmit the images that Xiao Yuan detects into your consciousness," Xiao Wan said, having also noticed the problem.

"Then there's no problem. We can just keep communicating with each other!" Shen Huang was delighted.

The next moment, Yin Kongtian's figure appeared in Shen Huang's mind.

It's just like when you're visualizing, and the image is very clear.

Although the fog can hinder light detection to some extent, Xiao Yuan is carrying an ultra-high-definition camera. In addition, Xiao Wan has a strong ability to process optical signals. With just a series of calculations and optimizations, she can clearly show the image to Shen Huang from a safe distance.

Somewhat surprisingly, Yin Kongtian, who had been calm and collected in front of Shen Huang, acting like a great master, immediately became sleazy after turning around and confirming that he was already hidden in the gray mist.

Yes, literally sleazy.

He no longer stood up straight, but instead hunched over, lowered his height, and kept looking left and right. He even suppressed his mental focus to the lowest level, his mind was tense, and his expression was nervous.

It doesn't seem like they're going to deal with the evil cultists; it's more like they're going to steal dogs from the village.

However, after a moment's thought, Shen Huang knew that this was the correct fighting stance in the gray fog.

"The gray fog hinders the spiritual senses of cultivators and most of their detection methods that rely on magic power. This means that when they fight in the gray fog, especially when fighting against spirit masters, they are essentially in an environment akin to a dark forest." Shen Huang communicated with Xiao Wan through a soul contract and recorded his thoughts. "In this environment, in addition to finding enemies, they also need to prevent themselves from being ambushed by enemies, and at the same time, they need to avoid provoking too much of a reaction from the fog monsters... Ultimately, it must be some kind of magic."

Shen Huang discovered a rather peculiar scene.

Yin Kongtian's movement did not cause any changes in the fog monsters, whether they attacked or fled.

This is clearly not normal.

Although the gray fog can significantly hinder the transmission of magical information, including conventional methods such as spiritual sense, the fog monster has a way of sensing that is not greatly affected.

This allows the Fog Monster to sense creatures stronger or weaker than itself to a certain extent and within a certain range.

Shen Huang used this to fish before.

In Xiao Wan's words, it was a kind of "aura" that did not actually exist; it was more of an intuition.

Although she can adjust downwards by precisely controlling the strength she displays, she cannot adjust upwards.

"Master," Xiao Wan had figured out something at this moment, "His aura is currently fluctuating between the ordinary second and third levels of the Transcendent Realm, with a frequency exceeding his reaction efficiency, so neither the second nor the third level of the mist monsters reacted."

"Such methods are possible?" Shen Huang was also somewhat surprised. "What about intelligent spirit creatures? Couldn't they detect it either?"

"The spiritual creature's ability to sense aura is actually far inferior to that of the mist monster. This sense is more of a wild intuition. When a spiritual creature controls malevolent energy and has the ability to think, it loses this intuition." Xiao Wan paused, then said with a hint of pride, "But Xiao Yuan and I are different. We can easily simulate different personalities. We only need to allocate a small portion of our computing power to let them be invaded by malevolent energy to retain this intuition."

"That's impressive." Shen Huang was genuinely amazed this time.

This was clearly something Xiao Wan figured out on her own.

However, at this very moment, Yin Kongtian in the scene seemed to have finally locked onto a target.

It was a spirit master sitting cross-legged under a big tree, his own spirit creature radiating spiritual light, absorbing spiritual energy to refine and cultivate for him.

Clearly, this group of evil cultists were not in a fighting mindset.

It was daytime now, and although the gray fog still obstructed visibility, it was not as thick as it had been at night.

Even with Shen Huang's level of cultivation, it was clearly visible within ten meters, and Yin Kongtian could probably detect it within a hundred meters. Not to mention, the spiritual light was extremely conspicuous.

"As expected of a villain from the Demonic Sect." Yin Kongtian clearly saw that in front of this Spirit Master was the corpse of another Spirit Master, being refined and cultivated!

According to the laws of the Celestial Dynasty, anyone who privately uses Spirit Masters as sacrifices to increase their strength is a villain!

Yin Kongtian observed cautiously for a while, his short sword trembling slightly, before rushing forward like lightning.

The evil thug from the demonic sect was completely unaware, but his spiritual object did notice something—it was a long sword. However, in just one exchange, it was sent flying with a resounding "bang."

Although the spirit master who was cultivating was awakened, it was obviously too late.

The sword flashed, and the head was already flying into the air.

He was still clutching a talisman in his palm, but he had no chance to use it.

With the death of the Spirit Master, the long sword, whether it was a protective spirit or not, charged fiercely towards Yin Kongtian, its blade whistling as it charged forward relentlessly!

However, due to the significant difference in their levels and the lack of a Spirit Master's support, they were directly suppressed by Yin Kongtian with a single hand gesture.

From the moment Yin Kongtian made his move to the moment he suppressed the spiritual creature, it only took a dozen seconds.

It's all over.

Although it was brief, looking at Shen Huang still stirred my emotions.

"What level is this villain from the Demonic Sect at the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm?" he asked.

In the early stages of mortal transformation, ordinary spiritual creatures cannot fly on their own.

"The spirit creature is at the fourth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm, Master." Xiao Wan could see it clearly.

"Master," Xiao Yuan transmitted in her mind through Xiao Wan, "The talisman has no passive defense function. I can kill it with a single shot from a hundred meters in the air. That longsword won't have time to react."

A level four Transcendent Realm cultivator, even in a celestial dynasty, would be enough to establish a village and become its head.

However, they were powerless to resist this sneak attack.

This even led Xiao Yuan to conclude that she could kill him with a single shot.

Shen Huang's eyes brightened slightly, realizing that the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm was not as strong as he had initially expected.

"Talismans cannot be used for passive defense, or rather, talismans of this level are ineffective. That's good news," Shen Huang said to Xiao Yuan and Xiao Wan in his mind. "But the reaction of the spirit creature should not be underestimated. With such a speed of sneak attack, even that long sword could block one of its blows. Let's record the entire battle process first, and then take it back to the base for research."
