Chapter 427: 427
According to Wang Baole’s understanding, Heavenly Evocation meant allowing one’s consciousness to depart from one’s physical body to loiter between the heavens and earth . There, they could, to a certain extent, become identical to the remnant god consciousnesses . That was the only way to sense their existence .

As for the real meaning of Heavenly Evocation, there was no need to complete the initial process of the fugue state through the help of a Dharmic Armament . Instead, one could shut his eyes and, through their own cultivation and level of familiarity, go in all directions as if in a fugue state .
However, Wang Baole lacked both in terms of cultivation and skill . Therefore, despite him surpassing his peers, he still needed to depend on a Dharmic Armament as a key in order to sense the god consciousnesses .
Despite that, Wang Baole’s method was extravagant and involved deception; it was a method used by most Dharmic Armament masters in the Federation . After all, there were simply too few people who could sense the god consciousnesses through their own efforts, as that was a feat that perhaps only those who could create ninth-grade Dharmic Armaments could accomplish .
Right now, Wang Baole’s consciousness had already been spread out with the help of the two Dharmic Armaments beside him, and he entered the fugue state . It wasn’t the first time he had entered a fugue state, but Wang Baole always felt that being in the state was extremely bizarre, and it was no different this time . He felt that there were no limits to his thoughts and that they were so vast that they could cover more than half of Mars .
At that moment, it was as if the physical body had been rendered useless . The leaving of one’s spirit from the body and its wandering between the heavens and earth was the happiest way for one to live . This feeling was so strong that the thought of abandoning his own body arose in Wang Baole’s mind .
After all, in this state, the physical body was like a prison, and going into a fugue state was akin to being released from the prison into freedom .
I can’t do that . My physical body represents the most handsome individual in the entire Federation . I can’t give it up so easily! As the thought of giving up his body grew stronger in Wang Baole’s mind, this other thought flew into his head and was several times stronger than the previous . It directly pushed out the previous thought .
Very vaguely, Wang Baole seemed to have heard the sound of a mirror breaking, as well as an indignant and angry roar . Wang Baole immediately felt that his surroundings had changed into a different state!

It looked like he was wandering between the heavens and earth when he entered the fugue state . However, in reality, something was surrounding his body—something different from the previous time . An invisible barrier was present, and it was like a bottle enveloping him within .
Right now, as he slowly awakened and gave up on the thought of ditching his physical body, cracks in his environment began to appear out of nowhere . The cracks were spreading so rapidly that they broke down immediately . It was as if the bottle that he was contained in shattered and broke apart right at that moment .
The moment it broke apart, it brought along and swiftly dissipated an indignant consciousness…
This instantly made Wang Baole tremble with shock, and he abruptly exited the fugue state . His body, which was in a meditative position, vibrated vigorously . His eyes opened with suspicion . However, this sense of suspicion immediately transformed into shock and fear, and his breathing quickened .
That’s not right… Just now… Something isn’t right! Wang Baole’s heart palpitated furiously . He vaguely came to an answer as he recalled, with vivid detail, what happened the moment he entered the fugue state .
The answer that he arrived at made him frightened, and the fear in his eyes became even more prominent .
When I entered the fugue state just now, I might have met with the evil intentions from a god’s consciousness . It must have sensed my presence and was using some means to trap my consciousness in a bottle . After that, it must have interrupted my thoughts and injected the idea of me giving up my physical body . If I really did that… Wang Baole took several deep breaths . Deep down, he knew the consequences . It meant that he would no longer be the same person when he opened his eyes .
This Heavenly Evocation segment is indeed dangerous… I thought too little of it previously… Wang Baole was silent . He had been successful the previous few times, but this time, he understood the dangers of the Heavenly Evocation segment . It usually didn’t appear, but once it did, it meant death without the need for blood!

Thank goodness I can’t bear to part with my gorgeous physical body . Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief . As he thought about the indignant roar he heard just now, he was filled with emotion . He thought about how the other party would never have thought that he wouldn’t get lured by it successfully .
Even Wang Baole himself was curious as to why that happened . He thought that the fact that he could resist the lure by the remnant god consciousness meant that he was very confident in his view of himself as the most handsome person in the Federation .
It seems like I think that way instinctively, and that is definitely the truth as well… I, Wang Baole, am the most handsome person in the Federation! This thought made Wang Baole shocked despite him just waking up from danger . Even though he often said that he was handsome, there were still people in the Federation who were comparable to him in terms of appearance .
However, right now, he suddenly felt that no one was worthy of comparison to him .
“Even if someone could compete with me, they wouldn’t win . No one would, for I am the best in the Federation!” Wang Baole mumbled to himself as the idea solidified in his mind . He felt that this was no longer an issue regarding looks . Rather, it was an issue regarding resisting the lure of the god consciousness in the Heavenly Evocation segment .
Therefore, all his efforts were aimed at refining the Dharmic Armament!
With that thought, Wang Baole grew even more determined in his beliefs . In reality, that was the right thing to do . This was also the most dangerous encounter in the Heavenly Evocation segment . Going into a fugue state was akin to drifting in the open sea, with one’s belief similar to a boat . Without a boat, or if the boat wasn’t sturdy, it would be difficult to advance without damage to the boat or death as a very possible consequence .
However, the beliefs of others were different from Wang Baole’s . Everyone held different beliefs, but none of them were as thick-skinned as Wang Baole .

After solidifying his beliefs, Wang Baole thought about it and decided that it would be safer for him to not enter the fugue state for the time being . Even though his beliefs were strong, he had also experienced the dangers of going into a fugue state . Therefore, he decided to find out information regarding this matter from the Ethereal Sect Lord and study it further to ensure that there wouldn’t be any more problems arising .
Just like that, time passed and seven days went by quickly . Wang Baole had already been in seclusion for about a month . After he read up on the information and did his research, he grew even more confident of his next Heavenly Evocation attempt . On this day, he used the Dharmic Armaments and went into a fugue state in an attempt to find the remnant god consciousness . However, suddenly, Wang Baole felt, in the space between the heavens and earth on Mars, a red fog had unexpectedly appeared in the originally empty space!
Initially, the fog was still a distance away, but in the blink of an eye, it filled up the entire area . It wasn’t directed to Wang Baole specifically . Instead, it was shrouding Mars entirely at an astonishing speed .
When Wang Baole noticed this happening while in the fugue state, he trembled in fear . He broke out of the fugue state once again and opened his eyes, which were now clearly filled with fear .
This fog… It seems familiar…
As Wang Baole slowly regained his consciousness, a raspy voice suddenly reverberated in the mind of Chen Mu, who was also in seclusion .
“The seed has matured, and the puppet will be completed soon… I will also honor my promise to restrain the Martian Colony Governor and her subordinates… Remember, our goal is to kill Wang Baole!”
As the voice reverberated, Chen Mu had already opened his eyes, which were filled with overflowing agitation and an intention to kill that were extremely obvious .
The moment his killing intent grew so strong that it could no longer be contained, the blood-colored fog that had once appeared insidiously shrouded the whole of Mars . Its scale far exceeded that of the previous time . Instantly, it spread through the endless wilderness . There were activated array formations that could block the blood-colored fog in both the main and new Martian Cities, but right now, the entire environment had been completely covered by the blood-colored fog!
This fog was extremely scary . Not only was it able to bar all Spirit Qi, but it could also block all forms of communication . Right now, even the Mars array formation was affected, and the main target of the fog was the main Martian City . This resulted in an extremely thick fog being present outside the main Martian City . Vaguely, one could even see many barren villages appearing!
This caused major concern amongst the Martian Colony Governor and company . The moment the fog appeared, they quickly went to take a look . However, as it appeared so suddenly and was on such a large scale that even communications were affected, they weren’t able to take a look at the situation in the new city . In addition, they couldn’t receive news about the new city . The entire situation was as if they were gradually being separated from one another!
At this moment, the new city had turned into an isolated city!
The blood-colored fog outside the city, as well as the bizarre sobbing, made all the cultivators in the new city frightened . However, as the cultivators in each zone grew nervous and cautious, a sudden transformation appeared in Chen Mu’s autonomous zone!
“The seed that has been living in the owner’s body has awakened!” Chen Mu stood up in his secret chamber, extending his arms . A look of excitement and madness flashed across his eyes, his voice reverberating in the minds of all the cultivators who had been used as a host for the parasite .
