CHAPTER 959: CHAPTER 252: HE WEIDAO AND HIS COMPANIONS ARE SHOCKED (PART 2)

A few people looked towards the entrance of the hall and saw a person who appeared to be a steward hurriedly walking in from outside.

After entering the room, he first nodded slightly towards Xiong Qi and Black Shark, then quickly walked to He Weidao’s side and whispered a few words, subsequently handing over a letter to He Weidao with both hands.

Because the room was very quiet, and they had all achieved considerable cultivation, even though the steward’s voice was very soft, they still vaguely heard words like "Fang Ze."

’Fang Ze? Could this letter have been sent by Fang Ze?’

Everyone present speculated silently in their hearts...

At this moment, after listening to the steward’s words, He Weidao was clearly a little surprised. He looked at the steward suspiciously, then took the letter, tore it open, and read it carefully.

As a result, upon just a glance, He Weidao’s usually calm and collected face unexpectedly showed a look of surprise.

However, his skills in maintaining composure were highly developed, so the expression vanished almost instantly, hidden by He Weidao.

A moment later, after finishing reading the letter, He Weidao waved his hand to signal the steward to leave, then handed the letter casually to Xiong Qi beside him.

Xiong Qi had already noticed He Weidao’s expression of surprise earlier, so he was also curious about the contents of the letter sent by Fang Ze. Now that he received the letter from He Weidao, he couldn’t help but look over with curiosity.

Upon reading, he too showed a bit of surprise.

He held the letter, read it carefully twice, then turned to look at He Weidao.

He Weidao looked at him and nodded slightly.

Holding the letter, Xiong Qi hesitated for a moment and then asked softly, "Can it be trusted?"

He Weidao was clearly pondering the same question earlier, so when he heard Xiong Qi’s inquiry, he didn’t hesitate to nod, saying, "It should be trustworthy."

He explained concisely, "Fang Ze is not someone who makes empty promises. Moreover, he conveyed this intelligence to us in the form of a letter. The letter bears his signature and there are witnesses throughout the process of transmission. Should it prove to be false intelligence, he wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility."

Upon hearing He Weidao’s words, Xiong Qi pondered briefly and nodded, agreeing with He Weidao’s assessment.

He glanced at the letter again, then somewhat emotionally remarked, "Fang Ze truly knows how to give people surprises."

Speaking of which, he paused for a moment and added with admiration, "How did he manage it after all?"

Evidently, He Weidao couldn’t ascertain how Fang Ze managed it either.

The Outer Realm demigods always act cautiously; such important information shouldn’t reach the lower levels so far in advance.

Hence, possibly only the demigods, perhaps only the core two or three demigods, might have prior knowledge.

This makes the intelligence even more valuable.

Thinking about this, He Weidao was silent for a while and then uttered three words, "What a pity....."

Xiong Qi understood what He Weidao found "pity." It was no less than a pity that Fang Ze was a noble; at a time when survival of the race was at stake, one dared not entrust destiny to him.

If Fang Ze were an ordinary civilian, perhaps he could lead the Human Race down a different path.

However, marginalizing Human Race demigods to play the "second half" has always been a decision considered by the federation over the years, far beyond the capability of a single or few individuals to change.

Thus, Xiong Qi didn’t dwell on the matter further. Holding the letter, he looked towards Huo Xian and asked, "Huo Xian, what if I told you that we now have the next step of the Outer Realm demigods’ advancing route, with a day’s preparation time? Do you have any good strategies?"

Upon hearing Xiong Qi’s words, Huo Xian was shocked at first, followed by a surprised glance at the letter in Xiong Qi’s hand.

Although he couldn’t see the content of the letter, he guessed what the letter contained from the steward and Xiong Qi’s revealed content.

The next plan of the Outer Realm demigods? Obtained by Chairperson Fang Ze? How did he manage it? Isn’t this just incredible?

After initially being amazed by Fang Ze’s intelligence-gathering ability, Huo Xian immediately realized that now wasn’t the time for idle thoughts.

He quickly composed himself and started pondering Xiong Qi’s question.

After a while, his eyes lit up slightly, having formed a plan in his mind. He clasped his hand towards Xiong Qi and said, "Honorable Inspector, I indeed have a plan!"

Meanwhile, others in the room had roughly guessed from Huo Xian and Xiong Qi’s conversation that Fang Ze had delivered the next offensive plan of the Outer Realm demigods.

This not only amazed them but also caused everyone to start brainstorming on how to make arrangements in advance based on this intelligence.

Upon hearing Huo Xian mention he had a plan, they couldn’t help but refocus their attention on Huo Xian...

......

At the same time.

Provincial Government, Si Family Estate. Martial Arts Field.

Bai Zhi’s talent truly was astonishing; in just half an hour, she had opened all 108 law apertures around her body, achieving Martial Arts Perfection!

However, at that very moment, she seemed to enter a mystical realm, with power of laws rippling all over her body, as though she were about to transcend the Real World, ascending to the Spirit Realm!

Witnessing this scene, Fang Ze hesitated for a moment but eventually called out softly, "Zhi."

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s call, Bai Zhi returned from that realm and looked at Fang Ze in confusion.

Fang Ze approached her, explaining, "You’ve just achieved Martial Arts Perfection, but your state is unstable, and the resources needed for Spirit Ascension are immense. Rushing into it now could lead to major issues. You might fail to achieve your goal!"

"So, let’s pause for a moment and follow my steps."

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, Bai Zhi nodded, making some slight adjustments to her breathing. Then she asked Fang Ze, "What should I do next?"

Fang Ze was evidently well-prepared, so he responded without hesitation, "Gather Faith."

"Faith?" Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment.

When Fang Ze had initially guided Bai Zhi down this path, he had already made various plans in advance. Hence, he explained to Bai Zhi, "Yes. Faith! And massive amounts of it!"

He described, "Roughly the faith accumulated by half the populace of a high-tier city over thirty to forty years."

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s words, Bai Zhi was momentarily dazed; she exclaimed, "But.... I don’t have that much faith? Actually, I don’t have any faith at all."

The issue of [Faith] has actually been a frustrating dilemma for many Awakeners who have attained Martial Arts Cultivation but still cannot achieve Physical Spirit Ascension. Even the nobles aren’t exempt from this.

Fang Ze once shared the Faith Ascension method with the Jiang Family, but when they learned about the amount of Power of Faith required, they were at a loss, even considering collaborating with the Outer Realm demigods. (Chapter 130)

However, Fang Ze certainly wouldn’t have Bai Zhi wait forty or fifty years. When designing this Spirit Ascension path for Bai Zhi, Fang Ze had already devised a plan.

Thus, upon hearing Bai Zhi’s words, Fang Ze merely laughed and said, "You don’t have it. I do."

"You have it?" Bai Zhi looked at Fang Ze in surprise.

Fang Ze nodded, "Indeed."

Upon hearing Fang Ze’s affirmation, Bai Zhi blinked, curious about where Fang Ze had obtained such a colossal Power of Faith from....

Of course, she didn’t doubt Fang Ze was lying: after all, Fang Ze was also following the path of Physical Spirit Ascension. For him to navigate this path, he must surely have a source of Power of Faith.

Bai Zhi merely felt that this gesture of goodwill was immensely weighty.

Power of Faith....

Such a precious thing, sought and yet seldom collected in significant amounts by numerous nobles.

And Fang Ze just offered it to herself like that?

If Fang Ze knew Bai Zhi’s thoughts, he would surely laugh aloud.

The Power of Faith he had this time was not only unprecious, but the quantity was exceedingly large.

Furthermore, since this Power of Faith couldn’t be used on him or the Late-Night Investigation Room, it was ideal for Bai Zhi’s Spirit Ascension.

Fang Ze even thought further, estimating that after using this Power of Faith on Bai Zhi, there might be some left over, enabling him to also help Miaomiao achieve Physical Spirit Ascension.

Well.... Perhaps if he truly "tricks" twenty billion from Bai Ling recently and doesn’t need it, elevating Bai Ling too might not be out of consideration....
