After returning to his residence, Li Xuanzu did not rush to rest and speed up the recovery of his spiritual sense. Instead, he began to study the fifth-order spiritual core.
The previously damaged areas have been automatically repaired by the energy within the spirit core.
After examining it with my divine sense, I found that it was not much different from an ordinary spirit core, except that its energy level was a bit higher.
After looking at it for a while without figuring it out, Li Xuanzu lost interest and clenched the fifth-order spirit core in his palm. When he opened his hand again, the fifth-order spirit core had disappeared.
Li Xuanzu is now essentially a mobile human storage locker; he can simply stuff small items into his body, which only requires compressing the blood to make room.
Then, Li Xuanzu fell asleep immediately.
To be precise, he closed his eyes to rest, but did not lie down.
He's going to go into seclusion.
Seclusion is easy to understand; it means completely cutting yourself off from the outside world and emptying your mind.
Generally, there are only two types of people who need to go into seclusion: one is for cultivation, where they devote themselves entirely to absorbing spiritual energy.
Another type is like Li Xuanzu, who regained his consciousness.
If one still possesses the body of someone in the Tribulation Transcending stage, this amount of energy expenditure can be recovered in just a few breaths.
His body is like a leaky bowl, used to catch rainwater. Although it catches more water than it leaks, it's only a little more. If left to recover slowly, it might take several years.
Seclusion is like plugging up a leak with your hands and repairing it during the process. Although it is quick, it isolates you from the outside world and makes you vulnerable to a sneak attack.
If one is interrupted during seclusion, there is a high probability that one will "go into a state of demonic possession," which is the "inner demon" mentioned earlier, and at this time, the demon will seize control of the body.
If you are physically and mentally exhausted at that time, something really bad could happen.
However, Li Xuanzu didn't need to worry too much about these things. He could simply send out a few blood servants with decent combat power but no mind and give them an order to protect him.
He also kept a few extra in case someone tried to harm him, and to gather information from the outside world.
This is where the convenience of the Blood Manipulation Technique comes into play; at least during seclusion, no one needs to supervise you.
After having his blood servant leave a few words for Fu Yu, Li Xuanzu sat cross-legged and pinched his fingers.
This action allows the "qi" unique to living beings within the body to dissipate much more slowly than usual, somewhat similar to the "turtle breathing technique" in movies.
While it's not so extreme as to completely plug the leaks, it's still useful.
As Li Xuanzu closed his eyes again, dozens of blood servants with empty eyes stood in various corners of the room, and a few guarded the doorway.
"The main body needs to be restored and will wake up before the Spring Festival. During this period, there should be no disturbance."
Blood Servant looked at Fu Yu, who was looking worried and trying to knock on the door, and raised his hand to stop her.
His tone was cold and devoid of any emotion; he was just repeating himself.
"Why...so suddenly?"
Although Fu Yu was worried, she knew that Li Xuanzu was not joking when he made such a big fuss, so she gave up the idea of visiting him.
"The main body will only wake up a few days before the Spring Festival. Please leave."
Blood Servant looked at Fu Yu, who was still hesitating at the door of the room, and continued to speak.
If Li Xuanzu hadn't told them that Qian Li and Fu Yu weren't enemies, these mindless blood servants probably would have attacked them directly.
After dealing with Fu Yu, Li Xuanzu's seclusion was relatively peaceful for a while.
The development of the Dragon Kingdom has also been put on the agenda.
Huang Lao set up "Halls of Heroes" in safe locations in various places.
There are only three statues inside, which represent the three fifth-tier exorcists currently in the Dragon Kingdom.
They are Chunyang, Tianyan, and Wang Yingxiong.
He had a fairly good reputation among the people. Although there were some unpleasant incidents when he first took office, the things he did did improve the lives of the people of the Dragon Kingdom, so no one questioned what he had said.
Old Huang would promote the deeds and battle videos of these three people every day.
Although it's the same old thing over and over again, the signal in China has been restored very quickly now. Using editing functions, the visual experience can be greatly improved, and the public is happy to watch it.
These are just the beginnings; Elder Huang will also organize people to visit the Hall of Heroes every now and then.
Although doing so makes the three appear as if they were dead, it's merely a way of expressing the issue; the real purpose is simply to accumulate faith power and enhance one's own merit.
Everything seems to be thriving, but there are still many potential threats that are unknown to the public.
For example... that missing fifth-tier monster in the Sand Kingdom...
... ...
During the time Li Xuanzu was in seclusion, the situation in the Dragon Kingdom was excellent.
Aside from a few sparsely populated provincial areas, even some coastal provinces have already stationed fourth-tier psionicists and fourth-tier exorcists.
The number of zombies in the Dragon Kingdom is only a little over 100 million, according to a rough calculation.
In places like Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Tibet, as well as in southern provinces like Yunnan that border other countries, only a few people were sent to keep an eye on things.
Once the population is sufficient, the number of high-level psionicists is enough, and several are stationed in each provincial region, along with three fifth-level exorcists to keep watch, the Dragon Kingdom will be an impregnable fortress.
Old Huang is now very confident that even if those divine kingdoms in the Mediterranean region were to attack again, he could stop them directly without relying on Li Xuanzu.
They can even organize psionicists to launch a counterattack.
Although Li Xuanzu captured Eris, and the matter of those divine kingdoms attacking the Dragon Kingdom was considered closed, some things are done and done. Time may fade everything, but it will not erase their existence.
Therefore, it's impossible for Old Master Huang to give those people a friendly look.
Moreover, due to Li Xuanzu's sabotage, the situation in the Sai Kingdom is extremely difficult.
Not only did many people have their work efficiency reduced due to having their blood drained by Li Xuanzu, but many of the younger generation also died as a result. Many corpses that could not be dealt with in time were then eaten by zombies, posing another major threat.
If it weren't for the fact that the other divine kingdoms had gods presiding over them, so they didn't have to worry about strange intrusions for the time being, then the Sai Kingdom would have come to an end.
After all, the number of psionicists in the Mediterranean region is not large, and they cannot spare the manpower to help.
Moreover, they also had to prepare for the blood donation. The zombie clearance progress in their own country and region was already slow, and Li Xuanzu's trip made them extremely busy.
They had to defend against the zombie invasion while also gathering manpower to draw blood.
Eris was already bound; they dared not joke with the lives of the gods.
Even though Eris wasn't summoned by his four divine kingdoms, he was still willing to do these things within his power.
The Chosen One is approaching, and without a god, the chances of victory are greatly reduced.
In short, the past month has passed quickly.
(The long-delayed Chosen One has decided to take a little longer to develop. It won't be long. There were some foreshadowing elements in the beginning, and now we need to fill in the gaps. We'll also add some other major mythologies and intersperse a short storyline that's related to the main plot.)
