Chapter 318: Chapter 263 Problems Chapter 318 -263 Problems The matter was quite simple: the White Lotus Spirit King would have his offspring seek him out, and it was all because of the “Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter”; their only prior connection.
However, the problem was more severe than he had imagined.
“My mother, unbeknownst to us, began practicing a scripture known as the ‘Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter.’ At first, there was nothing amiss; my mother simply grew stronger each day.
But at some point, she changed.
Initially, she would just leave frequently, and each time she returned, we felt she had grown stronger.
But things gradually became alarming.
We, her offspring, were inherently connected to our mother because of our race.
...
Later, we even began to feel that she was drawing strength from us.
It didn’t take long before our very essence was threatened.
Several of my brothers and sisters withered away, but by then, it was already too late; we were firmly under our mother’s control…”
The White Lotus who came to inform Wang Sheng spoke with a voice tinged with sorrow, clearly indicating a significant loss among his siblings.
“If you were under her control, how did you manage to escape?”
“Because just yesterday, for some reason, my mother completely released me and two other siblings.
She left us with a bit of information, urging us to seek help.
The other two went to look for seniors from the Spirit Clan, and I was sent to find you.
Mother said you were very strong…”
The Grandmaster Level White Lotus was utterly transparent, laying bare his circumstances.
Without finding hope for salvation, their clan would be finished.
However, Wang Sheng did not respond immediately.
Wang Sheng hadn’t expected the White Lotus Spirit King to meet with trouble, but if it was indeed due to the practice of the “Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter,” and with the description provided by the White Lotus, he could roughly guess some things.
That was likely the White Lotus Spirit King had succumbed to using the harvesting method.
He always said, the harvesting method was harmful to both others and oneself, and not without reason.
He hadn’t seen the harvesting method in the “Heavenly Thought Scripture,” so he hesitated to comment, but the harvesting method in the “Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter,” before he modified it, had a serious problem.
It was the potential for addiction; once utilized, it was hard to resist using it again, until you harvested too much spiritual power and ultimately fell into madness, desperate for more harvesting.
The White Lotus Spirit King had probably succumbed to using the harvesting method and ended up in this situation.

But—
How could someone crazed with madness still have the wherewithal to send for help?
That was highly suspicious.
Perhaps this White Lotus was bait sent by the White Lotus Spirit King.
Of course, he knew that this Grandmaster Level White Lotus was not lying; even if she was bait, she likely didn’t know it.
Seeing that Wang Sheng made no move, the Grandmaster Level White Lotus became anxious and said, “Senior, I implore you to save our mother.
Whatever price we need to pay, we will offer it.”
Many of his brothers and sisters had had their essence drained; with each passing day, the likelihood of another sibling’s death increased, which spurred his desperation.
Finally, Wang Sheng made a decision.
To see what the situation was.
“I can take a look, but let me be clear, if it’s beyond help, I won’t get involved.”
He had reached a bottleneck in his own cultivation and might need to use the harvesting method himself.
Seeing someone who practiced the harvesting method might be beneficial to him; he might gain something from it.
“I’m endlessly grateful!”
The Grandmaster Level White Lotus was nearly at his wit’s end and had no objections.
The mere willingness to look was a great hope in itself.
“I’ll speed us along, you lead the way.”
He was much faster than this White Lotus.
“We live in an area in Jiangzhou…”
Jiangzhou was a coastal province within the territory of the Eastern Dynasty and was far from Shuzhou.
But given Wang Sheng’s speed, it wouldn’t take long to travel there.
Before long, Wang Sheng, carrying the White Lotus, arrived within Jiangzhou.
The White Lotus, taken by his hand, was still somewhat in shock.
The traveling had been so swift because Wang Sheng had insisted, turning the White Lotus back into its original form—a white lotus, hardly different in size from an ordinary one.
Wang Sheng had simply taken him along.
But he had not expected Wang Sheng to be so fast.
“Where exactly is the location?” Wang Sheng didn’t dwell on such trivial matters and asked directly.
“From here, travel east for five hundred li, then…”
Under the guidance of the White Lotus, it wasn’t long before they descended into a dense mountain range.
The mountains were not high but complex, with valleys and streams that ran through them, their sources unknown.
But according to the White Lotus, the headwaters of these streams were where they resided, in a small lake where water flowed from an underground river, untouched by returning humans.
Guided by the White Lotus, they went deeper, and soon Wang Sheng saw a thick fog and two silhouettes.
“Who goes there?
What brings you here?”
The two figures were quick to respond to the presence of newcomers.
One silhouette was a massive sparrow, and the other resembled a golden monkey.
“We’re here for the same reason as you!”
Wang Sheng brought the White Lotus to the front.
Upon seeing the White Lotus, the two figures visibly relaxed.
“Human, it’s unexpected that the White Lotus Spirit King would call upon a human.
I am the Divine Sparrow Spirit King; you may call me Divine Sparrow.” The Divine Sparrow King was the first to introduce himself, his tone not one of contempt for humans but rather of surprise.
“Hello, I am the Golden Monkey Spirit King; call me Golden Monkey.” The Golden Monkey King greeted him calmly, also using human language.
Wang Sheng found this curious, but refrained from further comment.
“Wang Sheng, I have heard of you from the White Lotus Spirit King,” he said, greeting the-two Spirit Kings.
“Divine Sparrow King, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
One does not strike the smiling face.
With the two Spirit Kings demonstrating such amity, he naturally wouldn’t act arrogantly.
Soon, the three were standing together, as were the three White Lotuses.
Being direct and not one for small talk, they quickly got to the heart of the matter.
Wang Sheng, having arrived last, took the lead: “What’s the situation?”
“We only just arrived shortly before you and are waiting for you.
However, we’ve clarified some things.
This white fog is the same that once enshrouded the barbarian provinces.
The Divine Sparrow Spirit King and I have seen it before, but who would have thought the White Lotus Spirit King would have gone down this path…
but how did she manage it?”
The speaker was the Divine Sparrow King; he and the White Lotus Spirit King had previously overcome the White Lotus Demon King, so he knew well what this was.
But he was curious as to how the White Lotus Spirit King had learned of this method.
“So it truly was the harvesting method that caused this!” Upon hearing it was the fog that once enveloped the barbarian provinces, Wang Sheng immediately understood; that fog was one of the methods for harvesting from the “Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter” and was notably the most efficient.
“Oh?
What might you know?” The Divine Sparrow King’s eyes lit up; the more information, the better.
