Liu Sheng and the others were indeed bewitched. However, what bewitched them was a Buddhist Technique, the Enlightenment Technique. The Enlightenment Technique was the most difficult technique to study among the Buddhist Techniques. It was a technique that operated silently, it didnt even have any spiritual waves. But once it was used on a person, that person would have a favorable impression towards the user and would slowly start to agree to his every word.

There were two ways to use the Enlightenment Technique. The first way was the immediate application of the technique. If the mind of the target wasnt strong enough, then they would be converted immediately. Once converted, the target would fully obey the user and may even become crazed believers who have lost their sense of identity.

Another way of using the technique was to slowly apply its effects. When this method was used, there would be no signs. The affected target wouldnt feel a single thing.

However, this method has a weak point. It needed continuous application in order to convert the target.

Zhao Hai used the second method on Liu Sheng and the others many times. By this point, Liu Sheng and the others were getting closer to being converted. It was just that Liu Sheng and the others havent discovered it.

Zhao Hai didnt have any regrets converting Liu Sheng and the others. After all, Liu Sheng didnt really have any good intentions when he asked for Zhao Hais help. He had already been polite to Liu Sheng and the others. Also, being converted wasnt necessarily bad for Liu Sheng and the others.

Zhao Hai has the Space as well as a constant supply of faith power. He could only get stronger and stronger in the future. Being converted by Zhao Hai was a benefit to their future.

Another great use for the Enlightenment Technique was for the collection of faith power. Converted people provide faith power towards the user. The more you convert, the more people you have to provide faith power. Moreover, the more fanatic the believer, the better faith power they could provide. This was the Enlightenment Techniques most powerful aspect.

Faith power was very beneficial for Cultivators. Zhao Hais body was already stronger than before. Moreover, he wouldnt have any barriers in his cultivation. However, getting a believer that would supply you with Faith Power was very hard. Especially fanatic believers, which were much more difficult to cultivate.

If Zhao Hai didnt have the Space, then it would simply be impossible to collect Faith Power. The World of Cultivation didnt lack methods to collect and apply faith power. However, finding people to provide faith power was extremely hard.

In the past, Great Sects in the World of Cultivation did some experiments. They reared people like livestock in order to perform brainwashing on them, hoping that it would provide them with a means to get Faith Power.

However, this method wasnt very successful. First, because Faith Power could only be provided to one person. Who this person was has become a problem. If too many people share, then everyone would get very little faith power. And if you increase the people in captivity, then it would be too difficult to handle. Having too many people would increase the chance for accidents. Also, those who brainwashed these people would attract suspicion. Once the doubt spread, the experiment was essentially a failure..

The livestock experiment failed, so the use of Faith Power hasnt become popular in the World of Cultivation. One reason was because the methods were kept secret. And an even bigger reason was the lack of places to collect faith power from.

After acquiring faith power, Zhao Hai gained a deeper understanding about it. He also understood why Lu Wei had to use an artifact to collect Faith Power. Despite that, he was still weak since the amount of Faith Power he collected was very small.

Although Lu Wei was regarded as a god in the Divine Realm, his followers werent devout. It was just like in the Earth where people believed in Buddha, but werent necessarily Buddhists. This wasnt necessarily true belief. It was precisely because of this that Lu Wei and even the Yin Wind Ghost Emperor only got very few faith power. With such a poor amount of faith power, it wasnt very useful. So the strength of the two was still low.

But no matter what, the two still enjoyed the benefits of faith power. Therefore, they stubbornly kept on collecting faith power without letting anyone else know.

If Lu Wei knew how much Faith Power Zhao Hai was getting, then he would certainly be very envious. At the same time, if the people from the World of Cultivation were to know that there was such a thing as the Enlightenment Technique, then they would definitely want to acquire it at all costs. As long as they get their hands on the technique, they could collect a very large amount of faith power. To any Cultivator, the attractiveness of this was fatal.

Liu Sheng and the others were completely unaware of this. They only knew that they were listening to Zhao Hais words more and more. Moreover, they didnt seem to have any inclination of disagreeing to him.

Although Li Zongdao also noticed this on Liu Sheng and the others. Li Zongdao wasnt a fool. Despite going along with Liu Sheng and the others for some time, he still didnt trust them. Perhaps Li Zongdao might trust them if this was the World of Cultivation. But in the battlefield, Li Zongdao wasnt as trusting.

If this was the World of Cultivation, then Liu Sheng and the others would have some trouble with Li Zongdaos identity. He was the Strongest Core Disciple of the Profound Clear Sect. If Li Zongdao was killed and the Profound Clear Sect finds out, then Liu Sheng and the others wouldnt be able to shoulder the consequences.

However, this was the Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield. This wasnt a peaceful place. If Liu Sheng and the others murdered someone, then nobody would be able to find out about it. The Ten-thousand Realm Battlefield was just too chaotic. Chasing and tracking down a kill was almost impossible.

Seeing Liu Sheng and the others following Zhao Hais word, Li Zongdao couldnt help but be more wary. In his mind, they had no reason to be more polite. Liu Sheng and the others showing a better attitude towards Zhao Hai couldnt be good.

Li Zongdao told Zhao Hai about these suspicions, but Zhao Hai told him that its fine. Actually, Zhao Hai doesnt know what to say. He couldnt just reveal that he was converting Liu Sheng and the others. Otherwise, it might bring unnecessary troubles to him.

Despite this, the group continued to collect resources and even hunt some beasts. With their numbers, they simply didnt need to be afraid. In the end, Li Zongdao could only calm down.

As Zhao Hai and the others were collecting resources, the Xu Race and the World of Cultivation began to make their moves. Both sides knew that the other had sent experts to the newcomers region. Therefore, they became wary against each other.

They would approach each other cautiously. They would also send people out to scout. However, they made sure that each team comprised at least ten people. One should know that one couldnt be careless in times of war.

Zhao Hai received information about both sides through the Space. At this point, every move and action in the newcomers region couldnt escape Zhao Hais eyes.

The distance between the two sides was very large. If they want to fight, then it would take a few days before they could meet. Also, Zhao hai and the others were far away from where the two sides would meet. Therefore, theres no need for Zhao Hai to worry.

Zhao Hai continued collecting resources along with Liu Sheng and the others. He wanted to use this opportunity to stock up on resources. Once the battle begins, things wouldnt be as easy as it is now.

Naturally, Liu Sheng and the others didnt say anything. They had almost been converted by Zhao Hai. It wouldnt take long before they would become Zhao Hais faithful followers. It doesnt matter if they were to separate with Zhao Hai, they would still treat him as a god forever. This was what made the Enlightenment Technique terrifying.

At this point, even if Zhao Hai used the Enlightenment Technique in front of Liu Sheng and the others, they still wouldnt dislike it. This was because their minds had already been conditioned by the technique.

Zhao Hai wasnt in a hurry, nor did he want to participate in the war. He planned to wait for a few days after the battle began before participating. This way, he wouldnt be under the command of that young monk but could still provide great contributions to the World of Cultivation.

Monk Kong Miao was the person who held the Ten-thousand Transformations Staff. Zhao Hai didnt know his name before. Only after hearing people call him by his name did Zhao Hai find out.

Although Monk Kong Miao was very young, his strength was already formidable. Most importantly, the way he does things was orderly. The troops under him were marching in formation. The army proceeded forward without any chaos.

Seeing this, Zhao Hai couldnt help but admire Kong Miao. One must know that the troops commanded by the monk didnt have the same training as the Machine Fields armies. But despite this, the monk was able to command them to be orderly. This was impossible without any talent.

Compared to the World of Cultivation, the Xu Race were much more formal. The Xu Race people seemed to have received military training. Also, since they were already managed by a central body, they were able to be managed easily. The advancing speed of both sides wasnt great. Although they were all Practitioners, an army always had a slower speed than an individual person. After all, it wasnt easy to maintain a formation while moving.

Although Zhao Hai was still collecting resources, he was also paying attention to the situation between the World of Cultivation and the Xu Race. He was waiting for the two to begin so that he could join in on the fun.
