Longevity: From Being Pushed By The Witch

The fact once again proves that the ability of perspective is truly useless.

Although Ji Boying has now mastered this ability proficiently and has reached a state of effortless switching.

Currently, the shortcomings of perspective are mainly reflected in three aspects:

Firstly, when the soul is blocked, the perspective state will also be blocked. In other words, perspective can only see what the soul can perceive. If the soul cannot perceive it, then perspective cannot see it either.

Secondly, perspective can only obtain visual information, which means it can only see surface-level information visible to the naked eye. It cannot perceive spiritual power fluctuations or the distribution of spiritual energy like the soul can. This is extremely fatal and disgusting. If given a choice, most people would probably choose the soul rather than purely visual perspective.

Thirdly, when the soul probes someone, it will only go unnoticed if its realm is much higher than the other person's. If the two souls have similar realms and soul power, secretly prying will inevitably be discovered. The same goes for perspective...

Ji Boying has tested this on the deck.

When using the perspective ability to probe others, those Nascent Soul stage cultivators whose soul realms are far inferior to Ji Boying's, as well as the guards at the Gold Core stage and the attendants and servants at the Foundation Building stage, will not have the slightest awareness.

If it is the guest officials of the commercial firm, especially the formation masters, alchemists, artifact refiners, and talisman masters, they will already sense someone prying before Ji Boying can even see them clearly.

Of course, compared to the soul, perspective does have some advantages.

The most obvious advantage is having color and true vision, although this ability is not very significant, it is at least pleasing to the eye.

Soul perception is actually not much different from X-rays, at most with some PET-CT-like marker positioning function. However, the soul's marker positioning is not only for lesions but also for spiritual power and blood qi.

In addition, there is another obvious advantage, which is that when in the perspective state, even if one is discovered, the other party cannot find the source.

This was discovered by Ji Boying by chance.

It was initially a pill master from the Dan Fire Hall.

Ji Boying happened to be experimenting at that time and unintentionally fell on that pill master. Then he discovered...

The other party was actually faking it!

Clearly, there was only a half-bowl-sized mountain peak, but that pill master added several layers of padding to make it look larger than a bowl.

If described using the units of measurement from his hometown, it would probably be a change from B to D.

It was because of this that Ji Boying took a few more glances.

Seeing that the other party didn't notice, Ji Boying thought that the soul of that female pill master was inferior to his own, until...

After the other party entered a cabin and said something to another pill master, Ji Boying realized that the female pill master who was faking it had long discovered his presence.

However...

Because she couldn't capture the source of the prying, she had been acting normal all along.

There is one more point.

Because perspective only provides visual feedback, when the other party conceals their own spiritual power and blood qi fluctuations, it can deceive spiritual consciousness but cannot deceive perspective.

Because perspective is purely visual feedback, whether there are fluctuations in spiritual power and blood qi doesn't matter.

Overall...

Perspective and soul perception don't really have a distinction of superiority or inferiority; they can only be said to have their own strengths.

This is also the only consolation for Ji Boying after losing a thousand heart wish points.

The flying boat sailed in the sea of clouds for nearly a month before crossing the outskirts of Central Continent and arriving at the edge of the Arctic Cold Continent.

According to the previous plan, the flying boat was originally going to head straight to Huanglong and launch an attack on the Qinghua Divine Sect.

But...

Due to various special reasons, after a simple discussion between several cabinet masters and the main hall, it was decided to leave the flying boat at the edge of the Arctic Cold Continent. Within the flying boat, the team split into two, with one team meeting up with the Heavenly Demon Hall and advancing steadily.

As for the other team, they would operate covertly. After the first team absorbed the majority of the firepower from the Qinghua Divine Sect, they would launch a surprise attack on their stronghold.

It was a good idea.

In fact, it was the safest approach.

But...

Ji Boying was assigned to the first team in the final draw. Well... it was the team that would meet up with the Heavenly Demon Hall and choose to confront head-on.

It was a bit frustrating...

If it was just him alone, confronting head-on would be fine, but he also brought Li Yueyao along.

If a large-scale frontal battle really broke out, she would undoubtedly become a burden.

However, since things have come to this point, we can only obey the arrangements. Even if Ji Boying is the top of the Huiyue List, it would be difficult for Tianlei Hall to help him withstand those verbal attacks.

Words can be terrifying!

——

The Arctic Cold Continent is covered in ice and snow all year round, with extremely cold temperatures. There are not many natives on the Arctic Cold Continent, and the natives are mostly physical cultivators. Even if there are law cultivators, they have the physique of possessing ice spiritual roots or an innate affinity for the cold attribute.

After all, only this kind of environment is most suitable for their cultivation.

On the other hand, Yuyang City is located on the southern edge of the continent, close to the sea, and relatively mild in climate. There is also a season in the year when the ice and snow melt slightly. Therefore... this originally secluded border town has finally become one of the twelve main cities in the northern continent, and also the city with the most cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage in the northern continent.

Its prosperity is comparable to that of Qian Dao Lake in the Eastern Continent and the expanded Fulong City.

On the city walls of Yuyang City.

As the sun set and night fell, the flickering and varying sizes of spiritual lights began to light up on the city walls that stretched for nearly a hundred miles.

These spiritual lights are called White Day Covers, which are ordinary Law Weapons specially crafted by device masters for illumination purposes, similar to searchlights.

Although they are of low grade and lower than the treasures used by Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators, they are extremely practical!

As long as spiritual energy is infused, they can illuminate an area of nearly thirty zhang as bright as day.

Especially in this troubled autumn.

Due to the war between the righteous and demonic paths, countless "refugees" have emerged in the Eastern, Western, and Southern Continents.

Among these "refugees," those with low cultivation levels have become slaves or servants under others' control. If there are attractive female cultivators among them, they will be recruited into places similar to the Phoenix Pavilion, a seafood market.

Of course, if there are male cultivators with outstanding looks, so stunning that they can captivate people with just one glance, they can also be recruited.

After all, it's all about selling seafood.

The former sells abalone, and the latter can also sell geoduck!

As the saying goes, different strokes for different folks, that's how it is.

Among the "refugees," those with high cultivation levels, such as Foundation Building and even Gold Core cultivators, have mostly become Rogue Cultivators.

The Eastern, Western, and Southern Continents no longer have a place for them, so the unaffected Northern Continent is the best destination.

Therefore...

Just two years after the war between the righteous and demonic paths broke out, many Rogue Cultivators emerged in the Northern Continent, and Yuyang City, as a border city in the south, was the first to bear the brunt!

Here...

On the city walls.

A soldier standing next to the White Day Cover, rubbing his hands while grumbling:

"These damn dogs really don't let people have peace of mind. In the past, at this time, I was still on my wife's belly. Now, I have to come up and patrol every three days and nights! It's really bad luck for eight generations!"

"Heh!"

A soldier who happened to be passing by and stopped to rest, holding a cold halberd in his arms, sneered and taunted:

"You should be content!"

"A night patrol earns at least five middle-grade spirit stones. If there's an enemy attack, it can even double."

"I remember... Before those damn dogs came, you were still relying on your wife to support you. Even if you added up all your family's belongings, you couldn't afford a Foundation Building Pill. Since you started patrolling, not only did you successfully build your Foundation, but your wife also followed suit."

"I think you should call those damn dogs 'gracious lords'!"

The soldier controlling the White Day Cover, for some reason, whether it was the wind or something else, his face suddenly turned hot and red.

He spat at the soldier behind him and said irritably:

"If you can't speak, then shut up!"

"Do you think I don't know your background? Do you believe that I will expose it to everyone later?"

The soldier holding the halberd's face suddenly changed, and even his dark pupils contracted violently.

Seeing this, the soldier controlling the White Day Cover burst into laughter.

"Oh, Lao Wu, Lao Wu! I haven't even said it yet, and you're already scared like this?"

"Look at your appearance!"

The soldier holding the halberd shook his head crazily, tremblingly raised his frostbitten hand, pointed behind his companion, and his lips trembled, unable to form a coherent sentence for a long time...
