Borrowing Stones from Other Hills, Each Seeking Their Own Path
Inside the guest hall, as Yu Yuanchen recounted the possible Plane Will struggles behind the Saint Demon Continent, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
The Planar Spirit is like a Chess Player high in the clouds, coldly calculating, while these "outsiders" and even the native creatures seem to be just pieces on the chessboard. This perception undoubtedly brings a sense of oppression.
Yu Yuanchen's analysis of the potential tendencies and cold calculations of the Planar Spirit the Saint Demon Continent was like a boulder thrown into everyone's hearts, stirring up waves. The hall fell silent for a moment, the atmosphere becoming somewhat heavy.
Qian Daoliu frowned, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the table. He said in a deep voice, "If what Brother Yuanchen said is true, that the Plane Law are almost 'spiritual' and biased towards the Demon Race, then wouldn't our actions here be like walking on thin ice, fraught with danger?"
Tang Chen snorted, his bulging muscles tensing slightly, revealing a fierce and unyielding spirit. "What do I care about some Planar Spirit! If the Heavenly Dao are unjust, I'll break them with force! As long as I'm strong enough, why should I care about anyone else's opinion?"
Even so, a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, clearly understanding the danger of opposing the will of a world.
Di Tian's enormous dragon eyes were also filled with gloom. His pursuit of becoming a god was originally to transcend the constraints of the plane, but now he might have to face a Planar Spirit that had "become a being," so his feelings were naturally complicated.
Gu Yuena was the calmest among them, her amethyst eyes gleaming with wisdom. Her clear, cold voice broke the silence. "Although the Planar Spirit has its inclinations, it is not omnipotent, much less reckless. According to Brother Yu's analysis, it covets the 'legacy' brought by the Demon Race, yet it fears its power and is hesitant to act for fear of harming the innocent."
Therefore, it chose Assimilation Strategy, like boiling a frog in warm water, rather than forceful suppression. This indicates that it also had its reservations, and its strength may not have reached a truly supreme level where it could manipulate everything at will.
Yu Yuanchen nodded. In his opinion, the strength of the Planar Spirit the Saint Demon Continent was comparable to that of the Abyssal Sage King in Dou San. In its home turf, its combat power was comparable to that of First-level Deity, but its strength would be greatly reduced if it left the Abyss.
He continued, "The greatest strength of the Planar Spirit lies in its control over the local laws, which can suppress outsiders. But as long as we do not touch its fundamental interests, do not try to Destruction this world, or forcibly seize its core 'cake' (such as the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars), it is highly unlikely that it will fight us to the death."
After all, to it, we are merely 'passersby' with profound backgrounds (Yu Yuanchen and the other two all have Godhood Inheritance, Gu Yuena Di Tian need no further explanation).
The Planar Spirit are like shrewd businessmen, pursuing maximum profit. Their current strength is enough to warrant the spirits' attention, but since they clearly have powerful backers, their strength has not yet reached the point where they must be eliminated.
As long as they don't cross the line, it's happy to sit back and watch the two fight, and might even hope that we and the Demon Race are both severely weakened so that it can profit from the situation. What they want to exploit is precisely this delicate balance.
His gaze swept over the crowd, his tone becoming firm. "Therefore, we need not hold back. On the contrary, precisely because of this, we must seize the time, make full use of the resources of this world, and improve ourselves! Strength is the fundamental way to cope with all changes!"
He paused, a meaningful smile curving his lips, "Moreover, if the Planar Spirit wants to use us, why can't we use the 'stage' it provides? The cultivation system of the Temple Alliance, the mysteries of the Demon Race's power, and even the secrets of the God Seal Throne of Eternity and Creation, are all worth exploring in depth. These will become invaluable resources on our future path."
After some analysis, the gloom in everyone's hearts was dispelled. Yes, the path of cultivation is inherently Go against the heavens and fighting against fate. If one shrinks back because of obstacles ahead, how can one talk about transcendence? Once they understood this, the fighting spirit was rekindled in the eyes of Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, and Di Tian.
With the plan settled, no one delayed any longer. Yu Yuanchen his hand to remove the barrier, and a moment later, Yang Zhou, who had received the message, rushed over, his attitude still extremely respectful.
When Yu Yuanchen suggested that the five of them wish to observe and learn from the Inherited Classics and Cultivation Methods of the Six Great Temples of the Temple Alliance, Yang Zhou and the others did not object.
These individuals are capable of rivaling the Demon God Emperor! Their willingness to study the Alliance's legacy, even if it's just "borrowing" from it, undoubtedly represents an excellent opportunity to build closer relationships and potentially receive guidance in the future!
As for the leakage of Core Secrets? What do these empty titles and rules matter when the Alliance Survival? Besides, if the other party really has malicious intentions, they can simply take it by force, and they have no ability to resist.
Soon, under Yang Zhou's supreme authorization, the massive machine of the Temple Alliance began to operate efficiently. The temple masters or core Elder of the Six Great Temples were urgently summoned. After learning the reason, although a few Conservative Faction had some complaints, they quickly reached a consensus under Yang Zhou's strong pressure and the great temptation of "favor from Spirit-level Expert".
With everything prepared, Yu Yuanchen and his group of five began their Secluded Cultivation at Imperial Dragon Pass. Each of them chose the path that best suited them and ventured deep into the Temple Alliance's Treasury of Inheritance.
The Knight Temple, top floor of the Library.
Qian Daoliu, dressed in a plain white robe, sat quietly in a quiet room filled with ancient scrolls. Several Jade Slip slips emitting a soft white light floated in front of him, containing the most core inheritances of the Knight Temple —the <General Principles of the Punisher Knight Combat Techniques>, the <General Principles of the Guardian Knight Combat Techniques>, and so on.
His gaze was calm as his Divine Sense slowly swept over the information in the Jade Slip. The Light and Holiness attributes inherent in the Angel Martial Soul were highly compatible with the beliefs of "protection," "compassion," and "sacrifice" upheld by the Knight Temple.
"By combining belief with spirituality and using specific Meditation Method and combat techniques, one can unleash power far exceeding one's own energy level... Especially after resonating with the God Seal Throne, one can even draw upon the Law Power ..." Qian Daoliu's eyes gleamed with wonder.
His own Six-winged Angel Martial Soul is the ultimate in Light and Holiness, but it is more manifested in the power of his talent and his ability to restrain evil. The Knight System's path of perfectly integrating spiritual beliefs and power, and amplifying and sublimating them through a specific "vessel" (throne), gave him great inspiration.
"Perhaps... the lineage of my Angel Lineage can also draw on this method. Instead of relying solely on bloodline and Divine Examination, we should focus more on forging inner beliefs, establishing a deeper connection with a certain 'sacred object' (such as the Angel Sacred Sword), and forging our own path as ' God Seal Angel '?" Qian Daoliu fell into deep thought, his body unconsciously radiating a faint Holy Light that resonated with the remaining knightly beliefs in the quiet room.
He was indeed extremely interested in the six God Seal Throne, especially the mysterious God Seal Throne of Eternity and Creation. However, Qian Daoliu possessed his own pride and would never covet what belonged to others. His goal was to use the Knight System of this Realm as a mirror to reflect on himself, and on the day he reached level 100 and became a god, he would personally forge his own "Angel God Seal Throne"! This would be a crucial step for him to surpass his ancestors and embark on a completely new path.
The Warrior Temple, the Great Hall of Martial Arts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Heavy impacts echoed continuously. Tang Chen, shirtless, revealed his strong, steel-like muscles. He wasn't using the Clear Sky Hammer, but instead gripped a giant axe, a Warrior Temple standard weapon weighing several thousand kilograms, and was practicing an ancient combat technique called "Thirty-six Forms of Mountain Splitting."
His moves were wide and powerful, filled with an indomitable and fierce momentum. Every axe strike was accompanied by a deafening roar that tore through the air, and the sheer power was chilling.
"Hey! Interesting!" Tang Chen shattered a specially made Test Stone into pieces with a single axe strike, grinning, "A combat technique that doesn't rely on Martial Soul, but only on the combination of physical Blood Essence, and spiritual power, actually unleashes such considerable destructive power! Although the technique is a bit crude, this domineering style of overwhelming force is very much to my liking!"
He put down his giant axe and picked up a Jade Slip slip containing the "Blood Qi Boiling Secret Method" to examine it. "Burning Blood Essence to greatly increase strength and speed for a short time? The price is weakness afterward? Hmm... It's similar to a berserk method, but it focuses more on the precise control of one's own Blood Essence, rather than completely losing one's mind. I can learn from it and integrate it into my cultivation; perhaps I can create an even stronger Burst Skill."
Tang Chen had a clear understanding of the Warrior System. He wouldn't focus on this path, since the Clear Sky Hammer was his foundation. However, he could learn from others' experiences. The Warrior System's development of physical strength, utilization of fierce fighting spirit, and some simple yet extremely effective combat techniques were all worth absorbing and learning from, turning them into his own Martial Way resources, enriching his attack methods, and accumulating foundation for breaking through to level 100.
In addition, he developed a strong interest in the Artifact Forging Technique possessed by the Temple Alliance. The rumored ability to forge divine artifacts made this forging genius from the Clear Sky Sect extremely eager to learn. He has already applied to the Warrior Temple, hoping to observe the craftsmanship of the Alliance's Artifact Forging Grandmaster.
Magic Temple, Elemental Corridor.
Gu Yuena stood quietly in the center of a dreamlike corridor. The walls of the corridor were not solid, but were formed from the purest Elemental Energy, like a flowing river of seven-colored light. This was a sacred place where the Magic Temple Simulation Elemental Plane, allowing high-level mages to comprehend the Elemental Essence.
She closed her eyes, not using the Silver Dragon King's supreme power to control the Elemental Origin, but instead, like a beginner in magic, she focused on feeling and listening.
She "heard" the Fire Element cheering and reveling, expressing its passion for burning and Destruction;
The Water Element flows gently, singing a hymn of Life and healing;
The Wind Element moves freely, conveying the mystery of speed and change;
The Earth Element whispers calmly, elucidating the true meaning of weight and resilience;
The Light Element chants sacredly, spreading the radiance of Purification and hope;
The Dark Element lies dormant in stillness, concealing a profound depth of devouring and hiding...
Unlike her, who was born with the ability to command the vast sea of elements at will, the magicians here use complex incantations, exquisite Spell Model, and their own Spiritual Power, like the most precise instruments, to "leverage" the elemental forces between heaven and earth little by little, forming various magical spells with wondrous effects.
"So... elements can be 'played' like this." Gu Yuena's lips curled into a beautiful smile. In the past, her use of elements was more like an emperor issuing orders, direct and efficient. But the magician system is like an artist, using different "paints" (elements) and "brushes" (Spell Model) to create ever-changing "paintings" (spells).
This more refined, creative, and "fundamental" way of using elements is precisely what she lacks. She needs these "fundamentals" to solidify her understanding of the Elemental Essence, allowing her control over them to move from "instinct" to "thorough," thus enabling her to progress more steadily and further on the Silver Dragon King's Origin Power. She began to try to imitate the models of those low-level spells, using the smallest amount of power to construct the most stable structure, and to experience the profound principles contained within.
The Soul Temple, Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Di Tian transformed into a middle-aged man in black robes, walking through a deep, secluded valley. Countless magical Magic Beast, tamed or bound by contracts by the Soul Temple, inhabited the valley, their Cultivation Level ranging from ten to ten thousand years. The air was filled with the aura of various Magic Beast and faint spiritual fluctuations.
Summoners of the Soul Temple specialize in Spiritual Power and are skilled at communicating with Magic Beast, forming contracts, and fighting together. Their core lies in "Soul Resonance" and "Bloodline Connection."
Di Tian released a trace of pure Dragon Might, and all the Magic Beast in the valley, regardless of their strength, prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, expressing their awe of the supreme Dragon Clan.
He ignored the low-level Magic Beast and instead turned his gaze to the depths of the valley, where several hidden yet powerful auras emanated—these were the hundred-thousand-year-old Beast King enshrined in the Soul Temple.
"Making a contract with ants? How boring." Di Tian thought disdainfully. With his status and strength, he didn't care about such things at all. Gu Yuena sent him here mainly to study the "Contract Law" and "Soul Resonance" technique of the Soul Temple.
The Silver Dragon King lineage aims to revive the Soul Beast Clan, and their future relationship with humans is of paramount importance. The "Way of Beast Taming" pioneered by Ye Zhilan and Yu Yuanchen emphasizes Equal Coexistence.
While the summoning system of the Soul Temple also has Equal Contract, it is more often Master-Servant Contract. Studying the advantages and disadvantages of this system, the enforceability and backlash of the contracts, and how to communicate more efficiently with different types of Beast Soul, and even guide their evolution, is of great reference value for improving these Way of Beast Taming.
Di Tian's powerful Divine Sense swept across the entire valley, carefully analyzing the invisible spiritual connections between the summoners and their contracted beasts, attempting to decipher their essence. This would have potential benefits for his future rule over the Soul Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, and even for dealing with potential enemies possessing special Soul Talent.
The Alliance Central Grand Library, Top Floor Restricted Chamber.
Yu Yuanchen appeared here. Unlike the other four who were focused on a particular area, thousands of Jade Slip, bone books, and scrolls floated before him! They were categorized and covered all the theoretical knowledge, Cultivation Techniques, spells, Secret Legends of the six major professions: knight, warrior, mage, assassin, priest, and summoner, from basic to advanced levels!
He doesn't intend to cultivate six professions simultaneously; that would be putting the cart before the horse. His path is the Thunder Law, the path to transcendence.
But his goal is to "learn from the strengths of others and integrate them into a comprehensive understanding".
The Divine Sense acts like the most sophisticated scanner, simultaneously reading and analyzing massive amounts of information. The brain, like the most efficient supercomputer, operates at lightning speed, deducing, comparing, and summarizing.
"The knight's power of conviction combined with his energy is interesting. Perhaps I can integrate it with my Thunder Divine Will to enhance the Will Impact of my Divine Skill..."
"An assassin's stealth, explosive power, and Timing Control are nothing short of an art. Thunder also emphasizes speed and explosiveness; its Force Application Technique and Space Utilization are worth learning from..."
"The priest's healing and Purification involve the laws of Life and light. Thunder also possesses the Life-giving Thunder; New Life is born from Destruction. Perhaps one can glean insights into Restoration Divine Ability from this..."
"A mage's Elemental Model construction is a microscopic interpretation of the laws. Although my control over lightning is strong, it's mostly at the macroscopic level. This kind of precise manipulation helps me to understand the Particle Nature and Wave Nature of lightning at a deeper level..."
"A warrior's burst of Blood Essence and burning will are simple and direct, a treasure trove for unlocking the Physical Body Potential. My Thunder Divine Body might be able to draw upon this method to further develop..."
"The summoner's Soul Contract and resonance involve the mysteries of the Soul Level. The use of Divine Sense may be even more refined..."
Yu Yuanchen was like the most greedy seeker of knowledge, and also like the most calm analyst, drawing all the useful nutrients from the vast Sea of Consciousness of the six major professional systems. His vision and his level of understanding were enough to allow him to have a commanding view, get straight to the core, and avoid going astray.
What he needs to do is to take the Thunder Law as the root and his own Divine Path as the trunk, grafting and integrating the essence of the six major systems of this world, so that his path will be more flourishing and deeply rooted! This will accumulate unparalleled foundation for him to break through to higher realms in the future!
Inside the Imperial Dragon Pass, the Wind and Clouds has temporarily subsided. Outside the pass, the threat of the Demon Race still looms like a dark cloud. But within the pass, five powerful individuals from another world are quietly absorbing the nourishment of this world's civilization in their own ways. Their strength and realm are undergoing a subtle yet crucial transformation, happening silently and imperceptibly.
