Chapter 82 Spiritual Power Spreads, Army Sets Off

Even if spiritual power can erode and merge with consciousness and thoughts, it is still somewhat isolated from them.

In some ways, spiritual energy is more like a vessel for conscious thoughts.

Just like a computer and a program, the program is installed on the computer, and they can be considered as one.

However, this program can also be uninstalled.

However, every place leaves a trace.

Therefore, even if the program is uninstalled, traces of it may remain on the computer.

Spiritual power, however, can completely strip away consciousness and thoughts, restoring them to their original pure state.

Furthermore, in addition to stripping away lingering thoughts and restoring the spirit to its original clear, pure, and flawless state, spiritual power also possesses the ability to remove residual consciousness.

Furthermore, spiritual power is the reason why the dynasty's soul is eroded and transformed.

Therefore, it also possesses some of the abilities of the dynasty's soul, and has a direct spiritual connection with it.

Therefore, with just a thought, one can instantly store the lingering thoughts within one's consciousness into the consciousness space.

Even spiritual powers could be instantly withdrawn by the dynasty.

That is the power of the soul.

My heart stirred, and I thought of it.

For example...
In the blink of an eye, the wisp of spiritual energy that had been controlled by the dynasty and drifted dozens of miles away instantly appeared in his consciousness space.

Currently, he can only recycle power, not instantly release it.

Within the range of spiritual energy, the dynasty can instantly gather a large amount of spiritual energy, and can also use spiritual energy as a medium to project and descend upon consciousness and thoughts.

In other words, the dynasty's mind can instantly reach any location of spiritual energy.

Both divine power and eerie energy of the same nature can be manipulated by the dynasty and appear anywhere within the range of spiritual energy.

With another thought in his mind, Wang Chao once again drew out the wisp of spiritual energy that had just appeared in his consciousness space and merged it into the spiritual energy of the outside world.

At this moment, the dynasty's consciousness space was devoid of any spiritual power. Above it were the divine stars, and below it were the Netherworld and the Heavenly Palace.

However, the dynasty did not care about this, because spiritual power could be moved at will and withdrawn by thought, so there was not much difference between the outside world and the space of consciousness.

Since that's the case, why not release it all into the outside world and let it devour and absorb more primordial spirituality?

At this moment, the spiritual power emanating from the dynasty began to erode and transform the surrounding primordial spiritual power while rapidly spreading outward.

They quickly came into contact with the nearest soldier.

At this moment, Wang Chao also felt a little nervous.

Although experiments have been conducted before, even regular soldiers with celestial status should be unable to detect spiritual power, and spiritual power will not affect them.

However, with the further transformation of spiritual power, coupled with the advancement and changes in heaven and earth, no one is certain whether other chemical reactions will occur.

Gradually, the spiritual energy flowed around the person, completely engulfing him.

"Eh~?"

Suddenly, the man looked around suspiciously.

He had a feeling that something had changed in the world around him just now.

And this feeling seemed to have occurred for a period of time at night as well.

However, no matter how he sensed and observed, he ultimately found nothing.

In the end, he could only frown and scratch his head, assuming it was just his imagination.

On a level he couldn't perceive, as his vigilance and doubts arose, a large amount of primal spiritual power immediately spilled out, which was rapidly eroded and transformed by spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy, influenced by his spirit, also showed a slight fluctuation, even causing the surrounding energy to tremble.

However, apart from that, no other changes occurred.

Sensing this, Wang Chao felt relieved, but also revealed a thoughtful expression. He suddenly had an idea.

Perhaps, through certain special methods, humans can resonate with spiritual forces and thereby draw upon the energy of heaven and earth.

In that case, could he possibly develop some special cultivation methods based on spiritual power?

Unfortunately, now is not the time to study these things.

Once he has occupied the two prefectural cities and repelled the government troops' encirclement and suppression, he must study them carefully and take the opportunity to reorganize his own forces.

In the brief moment that Wang Chao was lost in thought, spiritual energy had already enveloped another person once again.

This time, however, the person didn't feel anything.

After sensing it slightly, Wang Chao had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

The person from before was a [War Soldier], with the true qi of military strategy circulating within his body. Both his body and soul had been greatly strengthened, and his mind was more acute.

The person behind him was just a newly recruited soldier, whose body and soul were stronger than those of an ordinary person.

However, compared to [War Soldiers], it is considerably inferior.

Therefore, the first person vaguely sensed the changes in the world, while the later person felt nothing at all.

On the other side, the spiritual energy continued to spread, enveloping more and more of the Salvation Army, eventually covering the entire military camp.

In an instant, the spiritual energy field that had enveloped the entire military camp collapsed.

Because the spiritual power within had been completely devoured by spiritual energy.

Naturally, once the foundation of existence is lost, the spiritual energy field collapses.

Instead, there was a radiant spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy did not generate a force field; it simply drifted around the military camp like the air.

However, as if bound by some kind of constraint, they could not leave the military camp.

As the Salvation Army continued to generate primal spiritual power, the spiritual energy enveloping the military camp gradually became denser. Once it reached a certain level, the dynasty lifted its restrictions on it.

Gradually, the spiritual energy began to spread outward from the military camp, covering an increasingly wider area.

Unfortunately, because the military camp was far from cities and villages, it was surrounded by vast wilderness.

Therefore, after leaving the military camp, the speed at which spiritual energy spread decreased significantly.

Furthermore, as the area affected increases, the rate of spread continues to decrease.

As for the snakes, insects, rats, birds, and beasts in this area...

They do indeed possess spiritual power, but compared to humans, it's insignificant.

Often, the spiritual power generated by dozens of animals is not as great as that generated by a single human being. As for insects and ants, the combined spiritual power of an entire radius of several miles is still less than that of a single person.

It can be said that the outward spread of spiritual power relied solely on the military camp rescuing the civilian army.

In the end, the expansion of spiritual power became so rapid that it was almost imperceptible.

Moreover, spiritual energy is not without its costs.

Whether it's the cultivation of a dynasty, or the condensation of a celestial status, the projection of supernatural powers, etc., all of these require the consumption of spiritual power.

Once these operations are performed, not only will this spiritual energy not continue to spread, but it might even shrink.

In the short term, the dynasty should not even think about covering the entire globe with spiritual power.

Even covering the entire Shaanxi province would take time to achieve.

However, the dynasty was not in a hurry about this.

At present, the existence of spiritual power is not of much help to them, so there is no need to rush it.

What he needs to do now is to cover the location of the People's Salvation Army with spiritual power. Even if it cannot enhance their combat strength, the dynasty will still be able to know their general situation and have a clear understanding of the situation.

However, before that, the dynasty still needs to make some adjustments to the residual consciousness that was being transferred through the separation of spiritual power.

Looking up at the sky above the military camp, everything was crystal clear, without a trace of iron-blooded ferocity.

Because the foundation upon which they exist—the consciousness of armies, soldiers, battles, slaughter, and killing intent—has been incorporated into the dynastic consciousness space.

Naturally, the murderous aura dissipated, leaving only pure spiritual energy.

In this way, if the People's Salvation Army wants to accumulate iron-blooded evil energy, it can only rely on its own consciousness to slowly transform it. More of the original spiritual power that was overflowing from the body was eroded and transformed into spiritual power.

However, changing it is simple. The dynasty only needs to turn its thoughts, and the original spiritual power used to transform into iron-blooded evil energy will no longer be stripped of its lingering consciousness, but will undergo overall erosion and transformation.

At this moment, the primal spiritual power emanating from the many members of the Salvation Army was being eroded and transformed by spiritual energy.

Influenced by the innate personalities of the people, and after merging with some of the power of the rules of heaven and earth, it was transformed into wisps of dark red energy, which is iron-blooded killing energy.

In that instant, wisps of iron-blooded murderous aura began to rise from the bodies of many members of the People's Salvation Army.

However, compared to the "warriors" who have experienced fierce battles, the "regular soldiers" who have just been promoted to regular army do not exude a fierce aura that can be considered iron-blooded.

Because it lacks the bloody killing intent that comes from a battle.

However, overall, the combined evil energy can indeed be considered a fierce and bloodthirsty aura.

A short while later, a dark red cloud of murderous aura, formed by iron-blooded energy, had gathered above the military camp.

It is captivating and awe-inspiring.

The remaining snakes, insects, rodents, and ants in the area once again began their escape, determined to get completely away from this dangerous region.

The People's Salvation Army, shrouded in a fierce and bloodthirsty aura, felt no discomfort whatsoever; on the contrary, they felt their hearts surging with excitement and exhilaration.

They yearned for battle, they yearned to kill the enemy, they yearned to achieve merit, they yearned to elevate themselves.
In an instant, even more fierce and murderous aura rose from the crowd.

At the same time, wisps of dark red malevolent energy enveloped the entire military camp, instantly increasing the speed at which everyone accumulated iron-blooded malevolent energy several times over.

Sensing the changes in the military camp, Wang Chao couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

As the east turned red, the army was ready.

Everyone gathered together again, and Wang Chao bid farewell to each of them.

"The dynasty wishes you all the best of luck and resounding success!"

"Haha, Chief, rest assured, I guarantee I will complete the mission."

"This expedition will surely conquer cities and seize strongholds, trampling enemy camps."

"Hahaha"

With hearty laughter, everyone left one by one.

Along with it came the spiritual energy that enveloped the military camp, and the iron-blooded aura above the camp, which split into pieces and drifted away with the group.

Looking at that fierce and murderous aura, Wang Chao couldn't help but think to himself, if someone had a special ability to see spiritual power, then his army would have no chance to hide.

It seems that in the future, he will definitely have to develop a supernatural method to conceal his aura and power.

Subsequently, Wang Chao also led his team, carrying a surge of spiritual energy and a chilling aura, and under the cover of the members of the agricultural cooperative, they stealthily made their way towards Lintao Prefecture.

Every time Wang Chao saw the iron-blooded aura above, he couldn't help but sigh, thankfully, in this world, no one but him could see spiritual power.

Otherwise, with that bright, dark red, iron-blooded aura, what could he possibly be hiding?

At the same time, Zheng Wanchun, the fourth-rank commander of Lintao Guard in Lintao Prefecture, also led 5,000 troops toward Bird Mouse Mountain in Weiyuan County.

Yes, according to the information they received, the headquarters of the People's Salvation Army was located in Bird and Mouse Mountain.

As long as they can destroy the militia's stronghold and kill or capture the bandit leader, the rest of the militia will naturally be a disorganized mess and can be easily destroyed.

Meanwhile, in Gongchang Prefecture on the other side, another 5,000 troops set off.

The army totaled 10,000 men, which shows that the government attached great importance to the rescue of the people.

The two armies marched in great numbers, making no attempt to conceal their movements.
