Chapter 552: Inner World

In the Inner World it had already been many hundreds of years since hed been to the Psychic World and captured thousands of Flares. There were many generations of people that had been born and died on the planet. Many had become Cultivators and lived that whole time, but others had no idea there was any other world out there, taking their stories to be the fantasies of the old.

Sage couldnt enter the Inner World. He could only send his consciousness inside, and there was no way he could micromanage an entire world on his own. He could only focus on the broad strokes and empower others to act on his interests. Those few women, Kings wives, lived like Queens and in exchange they pushed the natives to grow stronger. They couldnt do much to help Sage if they werent strong. Its just too bad that those in the Inner World were limited in their growth. Since it was created within him, those in the Inner World could never become more powerful than he could.

Now that they were inside, Ruanfu and her siblings were trying to assemble a team of reinforcements. Sure, they could find thousands of third rank people, but they werent any better than the Dragoons. They may be more intelligent, but they werent as unified or willing to die. They didnt even target those in Formation Building. While theyd be helpful, theyd still need hundreds of them to make a difference. No, they were targeting the Core Formation Cultivators. The problem was finding them and convincing them to fight. While they may be occupants of Sages Inner World, he wasnt omnipotent or omniscient. There were already millions of people on the planet and he had no way of tracking them all. If their location was known to him, he could go to find them and likely handle them quite easily, but would he?

Being an overbearing tyrant was not something Sage wanted to be. At least not to fully aware, living and breathing humans. Certainly he wished them to be productive, but he didnt want to take away their choice and free will. The best that Ruanfu and her siblings could do was explain to them the situation. If Sage died, then the Inner World would be destroyed. Although it wasnt so simple to explain that the world they lived on was inside someone elses body, the fact remained that everything they knew and had could disappear. This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Too bad I dont have any of those higher rank training manuals. It would be nice to have a structure for learning how to use Laws.

The higher powers of the world wanted to stay in charge and kept their ways of understanding law all to themselves. Rank five cultivators were enough to battle the vast majority of the Demonic Beasts in the wilds so they were enough to control human civilization and keep the resources flowing.

Without a surefire way to raise any Nascent Souls, Sage was at a definite disadvantage. Two against four, five with that giant tortoise on his tail. He had sensed the Fu Clan Nascent Soul when he was running earlier, just waiting for him to make a mistake. That Nascent Souls presence had kept him from making a more deadly counter attack, worried hed put himself at risk. If that Nascent Soul wasnt watching him the whole time, he might have been able to use the giant tortoise to kill far more of the enemy. As it was, he was forced back to a single option. Flee. Buy time.

The more time he could buy, the greater the chances of those in the Inner World making breakthroughs. Even so, things werent looking good. The chances of one of these people making a sudden breakthrough were miniscule. After forming their core, it was far more likely for a cultivator to never advance again in their lives. The odds were very much in favor of never discovering a law. For those that did, they had much higher chances of slowly advancing, but the huge majority of rank fives never took that step. Without any guidance, it was just too hard to stumble onto the right path. There were many cultivation techniques that could take someone to the fifth rank. You only needed to train diligently and one day you could form your core. There were risks along the way, but the way was clear.

Without any guarantees of assistance, Sage was left with hope. He had one final card to play, but it was something of a hail mary. A longshot with little chance of success. Would he be forced to take the risk or would he get lucky and find another way out?
