Sudden enlightenment is not something that can be achieved under ordinary circumstances; it requires all sorts of opportunities and coincidences. The fact that James Carter was able to experience this is a manifestation of the fusion of knowledge from two different places.

James Carter himself was unaware of what was happening to him. He only felt that his already powerful spiritual sense had grown even stronger in an instant, with a massive influx of spiritual energy continuously pouring into his mind, making his thoughts even clearer.

He didn’t know how much time had passed before James Carter sensed that the flow of spiritual energy from the outside world had begun to slow down.

Opening his eyes, James Carter used his spiritual sight to examine the situation in the room.

From the perspective of a feng shui master, there were far too many problems with the arrangement of the room.

Shaking his head, James Carter muttered to himself, “This kind of arrangement completely violates the principles of feng shui!”

Standing up, and following the guidance of his spiritual sight, James Carter began moving the furniture and other items around the room.

After working for a while, when James Carter sat back down in the spot he had just occupied, he felt a stream of spiritual energy, denser than before, gathering toward him.

Looking at the room he had just rearranged, a smile appeared on James Carter’s face. His understanding was correct—two different sets of formation knowledge could indeed be combined.

The current arrangement was essentially a spirit-gathering formation, but this modified version didn’t require spirit stones as a power source and seemed to operate even more smoothly.

The formation plate was now completely unnecessary; as long as everything was arranged properly, the same spirit-gathering effect could be achieved!

James Carter was already a bit excited. Inventing this kind of formation on this planet, one that didn’t require spiritual energy as a power source, meant that when setting up formations, he would no longer be limited by location and could even use it as an offensive method.

The spiritual energy in the room was faint, of course, and couldn’t compare to the kind found on the mountain. Facing this kind of spiritual energy, James Carter thought of the changes happening within his own body—perhaps he could use this energy to alter his internal state.

With this in mind, he began to perform the feng shui technique’s incantation, guiding the imperial energy around his body as he cast the spell.

Spiritual energy slowly flowed into James Carter’s body.

The Taiji diagram he had created last time was still spinning inside him, and the spiritual energy he drew in was completely merging into his dantian and qi sea.

James Carter used his spiritual sight to carefully observe the situation inside his body.

Things were looking good. Not only had his body absorbed the imperial energy, but it seemed that the imperial energy was also subtly transforming his physical body. The progress was slow, but the area around his dantian had already undergone significant changes, becoming more open and resilient.

All sorts of knowledge from Earth surfaced in his mind as James Carter sat there, analyzing every possibility.

Imperial energy was no longer spiritual energy in the ordinary sense; it was a kind of primordial energy closest to nature, the true core of spiritual energy.

James Carter felt his mind open up. Imperial energy was a form of existence, and his body was also a form of existence. According to the theory of the five elements, his body was also composed of the energies of heaven and earth, just in a different form. Could it be understood this way: as long as he found something in common with imperial energy, his body would not reject it? If so, then his body could absorb as much spiritual energy as it wanted without any problem.

What is the body? The body is merely an outlet, a tool for utilizing energy!

Powerful mental strength is the true foundation of everything!

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed, and James Carter became a bit excited.

James Carter had always felt a sense of mystery about the cultivation methods on this planet, but after forming this theory, he felt he could create his own unique cultivation technique.

With a clear direction, things became much easier. James Carter believed that, with his ability to observe spiritual energy and his internal state through his spiritual sight, he would definitely make breakthroughs in this area.

People in this world cultivate true qi, but he was cultivating the most natural imperial energy. This was something those who relied on elixirs could never compare to. In other words, the spiritual medicines and herbs that raised cultivation levels no longer had much effect on him; what he needed now were only offensive and defensive items.

No one had ever possessed imperial energy in their body before, and James Carter couldn’t find any cultivation method for it. He knew he could only keep evolving his self-created imperial energy technique, a method that required a vast amount of knowledge to perfect.

Following the imperial energy technique, James Carter cultivated for several more hours, feeling that every cycle of imperial energy under the technique’s guidance brought a significant increase.

Once again, the spiritual energy in the room was completely absorbed, and James Carter opened his eyes.

There was a hint of doubt on his face. True qi and imperial energy were completely different. James Carter wondered to himself, just how much offensive power did he have now?

Chapter 009: Facing Desperation

“Your Highness, the soldiers sent by the prefect have been received.” Samuel Cooper looked at James Carter respectfully.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, two strategists came over.

“Recovered?” James Carter looked at Samuel Cooper and asked.
