"Spiritualized Individual are divided into different levels and ranks the moment they Worship God."
Zhang Yunqi explained earnestly.
"At the very least, they are Spirit Guard transformed from ordinary people."
Secondly, there is the Spirit Vein.
Next, there is the Spirit General.
"Even higher, beyond our reach, but it's rumored that deep within the Ling Ting lies a level of Worship God surpassing even the Spirit General. We won't discuss that here."
He took a sip of water and continued.
"Different levels of Worship God bring different enhancements."
Spirit Guard can generally make their bodies as hard as metal, increase their speed and strength by about 10% to 50%, and cause Spirit Burst once every 49 deaths.
The success rate depends on cultivation level; the higher the martial artist's rank, the higher the success rate.
"Secondly, the Spirit Vein, in addition to physical enhancement, will increase speed and strength by about 60% to 100%, and Spirit Burst will occur once every ninety-nine deaths."
Furthermore, they will have different focuses. For example, the Jade Sea Dragon God of the Sea Dragon will additionally increase swimming speed in water and allow for prolonged underwater breathing.
Furthermore, the success rate of Spirit Vein Civilian Skill Cultivation. Both are important.
However, the increase in Spirit Vein is not significant, and after Worship God, one's strength will stop, and one will no longer be able to learn any martial arts.
Therefore, all major powers require practitioners to cultivate both literary and martial skills.
Zhang Yunqi explained the essence of the Spirit Guard and the Spirit Vein in one breath.
Looking at Zhang Rongfang, who seemed lost in thought, he sighed softly.
"Finally, it's the Spirit General."
"Spirit General."
He suddenly paused and fell silent.
"How is Spirit General?" Zhang Rongfang was listening intently when he suddenly stopped and quickly looked up to examine the other person closely.
"The Spirit General. We know little about him. Because everyone who has seen the Spirit General in action is dead."
"And so far, not a single Spirit General died. Whether from old age or by being killed," Zhang Yunqi said helplessly.
"As far as I know, the Great Dao Sect only values Civilian Skill in order to pursue higher Civilian Skill Cultivation. Only in this way can one step into the Spirit General level when Worship God."
Zhang Rongfang frowned.
"Does this mean that once Spirit General succeeds, regardless of whether they know martial arts or not, they will instantly become an absolute force that martial artists cannot contend with?"
"I don't know. All we know is that the speed, strength, and physical strength of the Spirit General are on a completely different level from those of the Spirit Vein and Spirit Guard."
As for the Great Dao Sect, it also had Spirit General, so the claim of Civilian Skill should be true."Zhang Yunqi nodded.
"All of this may only be known after you truly open the Secret Cache. The Secret Cache contains much more relevant information."
Unlike us, who only know what happened but not why, there must be much more research and deeper secrets there.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rongfang gained a comprehensive understanding of the entire process of Worship God and Spiritization.
He understood that the secrets Zhang Yunqi had revealed alone made his trip to Citong worthwhile.
If the subsequent Secret Cache opened, who knows what other secrets are hidden inside?
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat. We'll find out some things by trying them out ourselves. Let's go open the Secret Cache first."
"Good!"
The two got up together, left money for the tea, and left the tea room.
***In Huang Jing Mountain.
Zhang Yunqi and Zhang Rongfang moved swiftly through the forest, one after the other.
"Brother Zhang Ying, how is your martial arts skill? I've heard that the Great Dao Sect doesn't value martial arts. I wonder what your situation is?"
Although he knew the other person had a key, he was unaware of their identity or background.
All he knew was that the other side was on the same side as him, and that was enough.
The fact that the other party is not Spiritualized Individual is enough.
As for the others, whether they are people with ulterior motives or not, that depends on the insurance provided by the Eastern Sect.
If such a person truly exists, then those who guard the Secret Cache are destined to suffer this fate.
At this moment, Zhang Yunqi asked a question.
"I am indeed not skilled in martial arts," Zhang Rongfang replied. "Because martial arts training is quite inconvenient in the Heavenly Treasure Palace, I only practice casually. I only recently broke through to the Super Grade and entered the External Medicine."
He certainly wouldn't rashly reveal his secrets. Revealing the 'true' facts that everyone already knows is the right thing to do.
Moreover, even if he were to demonstrate his true strength, he would only be capable of using Super Grade External Medicine seven times.
In his opinion, this was nothing.
"It's alright. It's already very good." Zhang Yunqi nodded and said, "However, your Civilian Skill Cultivation should be quite good, right? Those two experts from the Snow Rainbow Pavilion behind you must have come to protect you."
"It should be." Zhang Rongfang nodded. "I don't know where they come from either. When I discovered them a while ago, I originally planned to observe them for a while longer, but I didn't expect you to see through it."
After observing for these past few days, he has basically figured out the Attribute Panel of the two Snow Rainbow Pavilion experts behind him.
Both of them possessed Spirit Vein and had reached the perfect level of the ninth stage of External Medicine cultivation.
Since he couldn't kill Spirit Vein even if he defeated them, he didn't intend to touch them.
But now Zhang Yunqi has discovered it.
"I am also troubled, not knowing how to deal with these two," Zhang Rongfang said with a helpless expression.
"If you're willing, how about we handle it?" Zhang Yunqi said earnestly.
"Is that possible?" Zhang Rongfang asked in surprise.
"Of course. Every one of us who are Rebel Sect is persecuted by the Ling Ting and is irreconcilably opposed to the Spiritization."
From the moment they gathered together, everyone was aware of their situation.
"We should kill as many of those monsters as we can!" Zhang Yunqi said in a low voice.
"In that case, thank you very much, brother!" Zhang Rongfang said with a hint of gratitude in his voice.
He truly didn't know how to deal with the two experts behind him.
"Dealing with the Spirit Vein won't be a quick process, and we don't have any specialized weapons on hand. So, let's shake them off for now," Zhang Yunqi suggested.
"I'm afraid that's impossible," Zhang Rongfang denied. "I've observed several times and found that I must have something on me that they can track. No matter where I go, they can quickly follow me."
"Then there's nothing we can do," Zhang Yunqi thought, frowning.
Finally, as he hurried on his way, he took out a Black Jade Flute from his bosom.
Put the piccolo to your lips and blow hard.
In an instant, a clear and melodious flute note pierced through the layers of Woodland and spread throughout the surrounding area.
Just as the flute sounded...
Not far behind the two, several hundred meters away.
Two experts from the Snow Rainbow Pavilion were also speeding through the forest, closely following Zhang Rongfang.
Suddenly, the sound of a flute came from ahead.
The two paused.
"Something's changed! What's that sound?"
"We might have been discovered. Retreat! The Rebel Sect is located nearby. This group specializes in intercepting Spirit Guard and Spirit Vein; they're quite troublesome," Ping Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Judging from this, the fact that Zhang Ying dared to enter this place alone means he must be related to the Rebel Sect! In other words, it's even more likely that he possesses the Secret Cache Key!" another person guessed.
As they turned to leave, they remained vigilant, constantly monitoring their surroundings.
Suddenly, a faint, soft sound entered their ears.
They quickly turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
But by then, it was too late to turn around.
Zhang Yunqi gripped two black blades tightly in both hands, his movements light and swift as a crossbow bolt, and suddenly landed beside the first person.
Raise your hand.
Draw your sword.
With a "poof," a large gash appeared in one person's throat, through which Silver Thread surged.
The man immediately collapsed to the ground and could not get up.
His hands, which he tried to use to block, fell limply halfway down.
The speed difference is too great.
Zhang Yunqi turned and slashed at the other man's neck with lightning speed.
But it was blocked.
Clang! Ping Yuan used both arms to grip the knife and forcefully blocked the attack.
The Flying Eagle Smooth Current Blade he practiced could unleash the full power of his body with precision and speed in an extremely short time.
That person just appeared too suddenly and too fast.
So much so that they didn't even have time to react.
In his mind, only martial artists who hadn't Spiritization would specialize in movement techniques and speed. Because they couldn't afford to get hurt or take the strain.
After Worship God, the Spiritization beings themselves become stronger in speed, strength, and physique, but their body weight also increases.
This resulted in their movements being fast, but far less agile and varied than before they Worship God.
The increased weight makes the Spiritualized Individual more inclined to use explosive speed in a straightforward manner.
With a clang, it blocked another strike.
Ping Yuan exerted all his strength, suppressing the opponent's power.
The attackers themselves were not strong, which is a weakness of No God Worshipping.
He deflected the opponent's short sword and was about to take a closer look at the opponent's identity.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.
Ping Yuan felt a sharp pain in his chest, collapsed weakly to the ground, and his vision blurred.
He saw the man standing opposite him holding a one-handed musket about the length of his forearm.
The silver muzzle was still emitting wisps of smoke.
"You!?" Ping Yuan tried to speak, but quickly lost consciousness in excruciating pain.
Zhang Yunqi sighed softly, quickly stepped forward, and searched the person for inspection.
Then they found a small Crystal Cage containing a living creature that looked like a thin black thread.
"Black Spirit Thread!? They even have that."
His expression changed slightly, then he quickly looted the two bodies and got up to leave.
His goal was simply to cut off the two men's method of tracking Zhang Ying.
Unexpectedly, they discovered something even more hidden.
In addition, the two men also had a Secret Letter hidden on them.
On his way back to meet up with Zhang Rongfang, Zhang Yunqi opened the Secret Letter in his hand and examined it.
"Daozi of the Great Dao Sect!?" His pupils contracted. "Human Seed! It seems that one is definitely Human Seed!"
In just a moment, he made his judgment.
According to the previous agreement, Human Seed may be their hope for a future resurgence.
So this time, he really made the right move.
'Although I don't know why I chose a Daozi of the Great Dao Sect, as Human Seed, Daozi of the Great Dao Sect are not people who practice martial arts much.'
But regardless, according to the original agreement, Human Seed is our future hope, and that person's judgment is rarely wrong.
With a thought flashing through his mind, Zhang Yunqi quickly made a decision: he must protect the safety of the Human Seed.
Although this person is still very weak and has only just broken through to the Super Grade, if their strength is lacking, they must have extraordinary abilities in other aspects, otherwise they would not have been noticed by the higher-ups.
The three major Human Seed are the true hope for the future! Before long, he returned to the spot where Zhang Rongfang had been waiting.
"Okay, let's leave as soon as possible. They won't be able to catch up in a short time."
The people of the Snow Rainbow Pavilion are not easy to kill; if you kill them, they will keep sending out stronger experts to follow up.
Moreover, those two people are not only tracking and monitoring you, but also protecting your safety.
"So there's no need to completely resolve it," he explained in a deep voice.
Zhang Rongfang Snow Rainbow Pavilion that within the Heavenly Treasure Palace, all those with high levels of Civilian Skill Cultivation would be accompanied and protected by the Snow Rainbow Pavilion. It seemed that he would also receive this treatment.
"Then let's not delay. Let's set off and talk as we go."
"Hmm. Here, take this." Zhang Yunqi took out a black dagger from his pocket and tossed it to Zhang Rongfang.
"What is this?" Zhang Rongfang caught the knife and took a closer look. It was an extremely ordinary-looking curved knife, entirely silver-black, with a handle wrapped in rough hemp cloth. The only mark on the hilt was a fork resembling a swallow's tail.
"When you kill the Spiritized Person for the last time, after the Spirit Burst, use this knife to drive it into his corpse to prevent the Spirit Thread from returning and resurrecting."
"Even without such weapons, the Spirit Thread can return to the corpse and revive it again," Zhang Yunqi said solemnly.
"The weapon used for the final blow?" Zhang Rongfang's eyes flashed.
The two moved quickly, leaving their original position and heading deeper into Huang Jing Mountain.
"Can I ask where we are going now?" Zhang Rongfang asked.
"Didn't you want to find the Secret Cache?" Zhang Yunqi asked without turning his head. "It's right here, in the deepest part of the place."
