Chapter 115: Both Good and Bad News
In the room, Yi Chen tirelessly used his divine consciousness to study the characteristics of each fierce beast crystal.
Time flew by.
His brain began to adapt to the massive amount of information constantly fed back by the divine consciousness.
Moreover, as he practiced, Yi Chen became increasingly skilled in using his divine consciousness.
He could now actively ignore certain information.
It was like focusing one’s eyes on a single object or place, making it easy to overlook surrounding items.
His divine consciousness worked similarly, allowing him to retain only the abilities he desired while it was activated.
Therefore, he divided his divine consciousness into three states.
One was the fully activated state.
In this state, every detail within the coverage of his divine consciousness would instantly transform into an abundance of information fed back to his brain.
The second was the semi-activated state.
For example, when studying fierce beast crystals, the most important task was to observe and sense their characteristics, which only required his Eye Sense and Body Sense.
All other information was completely blocked out.
The final state was the defensive state.
This was when he activated his divine consciousness outside or while training.
It would only receive important information, such as sudden intrusions or anomalies within its sensing range.
All other information was directly excluded.
This way, he could maintain focus on his training and research while ensuring he sensed any unexpected situations immediately.
After spending more than half a month on the study of fierce beast crystals, Yi Chen concluded his research.
He had become very familiar with the characteristics of various fierce beast crystals.
Next was the final step: researching the pathway of energy circulation for the new skill.
This relied entirely on luck and patience.
He would need to continuously test how spirit power flowed through the acupuncture points and observe the reactions, slowly forming a desired pathway of energy circulation.
Yi Chen concentrated, and the fierce beast crystals within a meter around him were thrown toward a nearby animal skin bag under the control of his divine consciousness.
He used wind spells to gather some scattered fierce beast crystals from the ground and send them into the animal skin bag.
Practicing his divine consciousness and spells tidied up the messy room a bit.
Just as he was about to start researching and testing the pathway of energy circulation for the new skill, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of several disheveled pieces of yellow paper at the door.
It seemed someone had slipped them under the door.
With a wave of his hand, a light breeze wrapped around the yellow paper and brought it to him.
Upon receiving the items, he saw the elegant handwriting, which had a unique charm, obviously written by Bai Ruo Xin with charcoal.
After quickly scanning the contents of the few yellow papers, Yi Chen quietly nodded.
For now, he was quite satisfied with Bai Ruo Xin, the leader of the Intelligence Organization.
In just a few months, Bai Ruo Xin had successfully built the framework of the Intelligence Organization.
They had already begun collecting information.
These yellow papers detailed important events that had occurred in the Flame Mountain Tribe over the past ten days.
This included news from the four armies.
From the four armies, there were both good and bad updates.
On the negative side, with more fierce beasts under control, despite the increasing strength of the soldiers, instability continued to rise.
There had been several instances of fierce beasts turning against their handlers, although these situations were quickly suppressed.
Moreover, as the borders expanded and the speed of the four armies’ advance reached its peak, they began to recede due to a lack of manpower.
At present, each of the four armies had only about three hundred soldiers.
In such a vast border, to ensure safety, they could only spread out in teams of ten.
Even so, the risks had significantly increased.
If further divided, there was a high possibility of facing fierce beast retaliation or encountering strong enemies with no escape.
Despite the Intelligence Organization beginning to provide terrain maps and information on fierce beasts to the four armies, the details were still very basic.
The good news was that the Southern Army had found another tribe with a population of over three thousand and had successfully conquered it.
Although the information was provided two days ago, the actual event had occurred over ten days prior.
In just a few days, the three thousand residents of this tribe would arrive at the Flame Mountain Tribe.
This good news was undoubtedly monumental for Yi Chen.
Humanity formed the foundation for expanding his influence, essential for unifying the entire planet, so the more, the better.
With this tribe’s addition, the population of the Flame Mountain Tribe would reach around twelve to thirteen thousand.
Another piece of good news was that the task he had assigned to the high priest was being executed well.
The other two priests had successfully recruited and trained several disciples, who thrived within the four armies.
With the three-month deadline approaching, they had begun promoting the use of Divine Water.
Everyone in the four armies was overjoyed and grateful to Yi Chen.
Even if a few clever ones may have guessed Yi Chen’s intentions, they would not be foolish enough to raise questions.
Next was the situation at the Flame Mountain Tribe, which bore mixed results.
The false deity from the Yunxia Tribe had been repelled several times by the Spirit Law practitioners, but suddenly ceased all activities, disappearing without a trace, seemingly plotting some scheme.
In the Political Council, a multitude of newly created positions led to fierce competition and conflict.
The high priest, Zhong Ren, and Feng Yue, along with the three heads of the branches, were engaged in fierce battles that made the skies dark and chaotic.
Each one tried to gain complete control over their own territories while secretly gathering support or placing their people in the domains of others.
They formed alliances amidst the confusion and turmoil.
The good news was that, including the high priest, everyone seemed to understand their limits.
While fighting fiercely, they didn’t forget to get their tasks done properly.
Just like when the Southern Army discovered a new tribe, the Political Council had communication personnel who informed them promptly.
Once they received the news, the Council immediately began to arrange celebrations, promotions, and resettlement matters.
Even before the new tribe’s people arrived, all follow-up actions had been considered and prepared.
The establishment of the Political Council and the three branches made the development of the Flame Mountain Tribe more organized.
Yi Chen waved his hand.
Several yellow papers began to burn until they turned to ashes.
His attitude in the Council was always straightforward and direct.
Water that is too clear has no fish.
He had no time for disordered matters.
Let them fight however they wanted.
To gain the greatest power and acquire the most resources and benefits, it was not enough just to win against opponents; he also needed to show achievements that impressed him.
Most importantly, they must not touch his bottom line of interests.
For the four armies, the immediate priority and greatest hidden danger remained the fierce beasts.
But even in urgency, there was nothing to be done.
After adjusting his mindset, Yi Chen officially began to research and test the energy circulation pathways of the new skill.
A thread of spirit power emerged from the Qi Sea and flowed into his meridians.
A thread of divine consciousness blended with the spirit power, traveling through the meridians to the nearest acupoint.
Sensing and predicting the spirit power infused with divine consciousness entering the acupoint and producing undesirable characteristics, he quickly controlled the spirit power to exit the acupoint.
He then attempted to enter the third acupoint, followed by the fourth and fifth…
He kept what was useful and discarded what was not.
He continuously combined and matched the elements.
