Chapter 1120 - 1220: Choosing the Right Direction

Ye Tianfan followed Master Taichu to the place where they were previously defeated once again.

Originally, Master Taichu of the Taichu Sect intended to explore outward from a different direction, leaving the areas already explored to others. Since this region had already been extended in length, reducing exploration would make things easier.

However, since no one else wanted to explore from that direction, fearing that the wall creatures they encountered previously might not have completely left and could still be lingering nearby.

Although they now possessed refined spiritual power, they still feared that unexpected situations might occur.

Facing so many wall creatures at once would instill some degree of fear in anyone. They only wished to encounter one or two wall creatures first, gradually adapt, and then use refined spiritual power to kill that wall creature. At least there would be an initial buffer.

If they were to encounter masses of wall creatures right from the start, they might not even have the ability to resist. Each wall creature possesses its unique abilities, and with so many wall creatures, there would be no way to pay attention to each one's special skills or carefully discern the abilities of a particular creature.

This would mean that they would lack effective ways to evade the attacks of these wall creatures, potentially causing them to panic upon encountering the wall creatures. At that moment, there could be instances where the refined spiritual power inadvertently injures their own people.

Although the refined spiritual power, when created into small particles, won't explode even if directly struck against humans.

If it hits the wall creatures, and their people are too close to those creatures, there is a high possibility that while harming the wall creatures, their people would also be extensively eroded by the refined spiritual power.

After all, refined spiritual power is highly corrosive and penetrating to all known forms of energy due to its noble and pure nature.

Making refined spiritual power highly resistant to other energies with impurities, even if possessing only a trace of impurity, the refined spiritual power will transform them into similarly pure energy.

Moreover, refined spiritual power is proud; even when encountering similarly pure energies like pure demonic qi or evil qi, it strongly wishes to compete to determine which is stronger.

Then, the refined spiritual power would quickly eliminate these other energies, and because the demonic qi, evil qi, and other negative auras outside the wall are overly mixed and chaotic.

The refined spiritual power disdainfully destroys it swiftly, and the eradication process is extremely brutal, but simultaneously, it would also deplete significantly through the extermination of other energies.

The method by which the refined spiritual power destroys other energies is by directly neutralizing them with its own energy.

While eliminating enemies, it's also being eliminated itself, which is why Master Taichu believes refined spiritual power can neutralize the demonic qi, evil qi, and other negative auras beyond the wall, but both sides actually vanish.

Even though refined spiritual power can eliminate wall creatures, Master Taichu hasn't disclosed that its damage is also limited.

If confronted by excessively powerful wall creatures, then throwing a large quantity of refined spiritual power particles would be ineffective, because truly powerful wall creatures harbor extensive amounts of demonic qi, evil qi, and other negative auras internally. Even using more refined spiritual power to try and neutralize it might not be sufficient.

These potent wall creatures have survived thousands, even tens of thousands of years beyond the wall, accruing terrifying amounts of demonic qi, evil qi, and other negative auras.

For them, Ye Tianfan and his team trying to eliminate such wall creatures with mere small particles of refined spiritual power is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Of course, Master Taichu hasn't mentioned this, or it would lead to considerable panic.

After all, they've painstakingly developed a substance capable of eliminating wall creatures, only to suddenly announce that its damage is limited and still ineffective against more powerful wall creatures; how could they calm their originally excited mood? They'd feel that even though they researched this substance, it holds no effect against the true enemies.

Thus, why still bother going beyond the walls, especially when exploring, once encountering formidable wall creatures, then what they've thrown, the refined spiritual power, would be useless, leaving them with no option but to wait for death. How would they respond?

Therefore, Master Taichu and the other researchers who developed refined spiritual power haven't revealed this matter. Yet, Master Taichu and several researchers believe refined spiritual power is more complex than currently understood; there might be functionalities beyond their imagination, and presently, it was quickly developed without deeper research yet.

Thus, at the moment, it may only suffice against common wall creatures, but if more in-depth research is conducted, it may also hold promise against stronger wall creatures.

Naturally, that outcome will only manifest when they further enhance their research on refined spiritual power in the next phase.

Currently, they need to swiftly expand their territory, allowing Ye Tianfan to purify certain natural treasures to comprehensively boost their strength.

This way, when encountering wall creatures, they can reduce some casualties, then those with strong research prowess can safely study refined spiritual power.

Otherwise, relying only on the seniors to expand outward would hinder the agenda of refined spiritual power research.

If they encountered formidable wall creatures, they would still suffer significant losses without means to prevent them.

Initially occupying significant territory quickly and researching refined spiritual power afterwards appears crucial to eliminate substantial wall creatures before further expansion.

Rumor has it that the legendary wall creatures dwell in the deepest parts beyond the wall, unlikely to be encountered in short periods.
