Blade Sword Three Absolutes, Xu Bai Is Out of Mana (8000)
It's not surprising that Xu Bai didn't know; he had only been in this field for a very short time and wanted to make up for his lack of knowledge as quickly as possible, but he still had to prioritize.
He has very little time to grind the progress bar every day, and he can't always give up that time to learn something else. Most importantly, learning something when he's not grinding the progress bar is pointless.
He is very busy.
Xu Bai would certainly not admit that it was because he was too lazy, and that he became even lazier after Ye Zi came into his life.
read?
Read what a load of crap.
If you encounter something you don't understand, just ask. Instead of wasting time, why not go find the progress bar and improve your skills? Isn't that much better than studying?
For example, right now, when Rising Dusk King said the word "Ruins," Xu Bai didn't understand at all. But that's okay, he could just ask.
When Xu Bai asked this question, Rising Dusk King and Eunuch Wei exchanged a glance, only then realizing that Xu Bai was, in some ways, still a naive and inexperienced newbie.
Rising Dusk King organized his thoughts and then explained what happened in the Ruins: "The so-called Ruins are actually some things from a very long time ago."
They have been preserved to varying degrees, transforming into strange places where, perhaps, useful information or even something extraordinary can be found.
"However, the Ruins are extremely dangerous. As the saying goes, if you want greater benefits, you have to face greater risks, and that's exactly what the Ruins are like."
As Xu Bai heard it, he keenly sensed that some unfathomable information was vividly presented before his eyes.
"A long time ago, even earlier than the Great Feng Kingdom?"
Just now, Rising Dusk King said those four words, which are considered very long ago in their eyes, so Xu Bai could only come up with this guess.
Even earlier than the Great Feng Kingdom Great Feng Kingdom, which was established before the Great Chu Kingdom Great Chu Kingdom and was overthrown by it, he made a bold conclusion.
As soon as he asked the question, Rising Dusk King nodded, acknowledging Xu Bai's deduction.
Before Rising Dusk King Eunuch Wei interrupted him.
"To be precise, it is much older than any country today. Back then, there were not as few countries as there are now. It was truly a time when all nations stood together, a scene of great prosperity."
"No single nation could dominate, nor could any nation have the strength to deal with the others. At that time, every nation had irreconcilable problems and inseparable relationships. They either formed alliances or became enemies, fighting fiercely."
"The reason for this is that after unification, we can enter the Ghost Market. The method we know now for entering the Ghost Market through unification is also inherited from that time."
Ghost Market?
Xu Bai never expected that this matter could be related to the Ghost Market. After hearing this, he hesitated for a long time before asking the question he most wanted to know.
"Why does everyone want to go to the Ghost Market? What is it about there that makes so many people so enthusiastic?"
This is what Xu Bai has always been puzzled about: why does everyone want to go there?
If the concern is that the Ghost Market will prioritize unification and then attack the human world, then all of this is negotiable.
After all, the best defense is a good offense.
But so far, the information Xu Bai has received tells him that the purpose of attacking the Ghost Market is actually to gain better benefits, but what exactly are these benefits that would make all three forces so eager to pursue them?
Eunuch Wei raised one index finger and simply said two words: "Resources".
Xu Bai stroked his chin, silently pondering the two words, his eyes slightly brightening. He seemed to have thought of something, but hadn't quite grasped it yet.
Clearly, Eunuch Wei was not one to play riddles; after uttering those two words, he immediately followed up with the rest of his statement without any concealment.
"We can compare this world to a vast resource, and we are the people living in this world, able to continuously draw upon its resources."
"Whether you're an ordinary person or someone in the industry, you're constantly absorbing things from this world, but resources are limited. It seems like something's gone wrong with this world; it can't keep going."
"It cannot be recycled, which means that one day, the resources of this world will be exhausted. And you should know what will happen when the resources of a world are exhausted."
Xu Bai fell into deep thought.
He knew, of course, that this was a very simple principle: when all resources are exhausted and survival becomes a problem, the world will descend into chaos.
Or rather, things were already in chaos when they were about to be completely exhausted.
Some people with extreme intentions might even resort to fratricide.
People consume resources, and people in the industry also consume resources. So, would killing these people slow down the consumption of resources? At that point, there will be an extremely terrifying chaos, and no one will be able to stop it.
After all, when everyone else is in a frenzy, if you are the only one who stays calm, you are the one who is least likely to fit in.
Those who die first are often the most lucid.
"Is the same true for the Ghost Market?" Xu Bai asked, drawing inferences from one instance to another.
He considered that the Ghost Market also wanted to unify the world and then launch a major attack on Human Time, so he wondered if the Ghost Market's resources might eventually run out.
Eunuch Wei nodded without hesitation. "Yes."
"Only when two worlds merge into one can a cyclical world be formed."
"Resources can be circulated indefinitely, but you know, humans and the supernatural are conflicting entities, and one of them will always die."
"If we lose, then this cyclical world is bizarre; if we win, it's ours."
"It has nothing to do with good or evil; everyone is just trying to survive, because nobody wants to be part of an extinct race."
Xu Bai fell silent.
He never imagined that everything was just a means to seize resources.
To put it more deeply, it's about making the world cycle, but that's also the beginning of conflict and contradiction. No one could have imagined that their own faction would be wiped out.
Therefore, who wins or loses is not important to the world, because no matter who wins, the world will continue to cycle. What is truly important are the people living in this world.
Some might ask, when faced with such a major issue of right and wrong, why not unite immediately?
Impossible. Given the deep-seated animosity between them, who would willingly unite? To put it bluntly, if they were to unite and achieve true unification, whose will would they listen to? Would they kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and then discard the donkey after it has served its purpose? Nobody can say for sure.
"So... back then, the frenzied scene of Ten Thousand Kingdoms War was plunged into eternal extinction because of their mutual struggles?" Xu Bai asked.
Eunuch Wei nodded and said, "That's right. No one expected that in the end no one would truly unify the world. Instead, the already tense situation was completely resolved."
"No country survived. They were shattered and, after generations of reproduction, they are very different from what they were back then. Only Ruins remain."
At this point, Eunuch Wei sighed, clearly thinking of that era of great dynastic change, which had now become fragmented, and he expressed his heartfelt regret.
A world where all nations coexisted—what a prosperous world it must have been! But now, it has all vanished.
"Then..." Xu Bai asked the last question, "What good things are in the Ruins, and why is it called a strange place?"
This was also something he particularly wanted to know; the various behaviors of Rising Dusk King and Eunuch Wei just now indicated that this Ruins was extremely important.
Xu Bai was very curious and wanted to know what good things were inside, especially since he had mentioned not long ago that it was a strange place.
"Strange, what kind of strangeness?" Eunuch Wei said, "The so-called strangeness is something different from the bizarre; we call it 'Thought Gods.'"
"Thought Gods?" Xu Bai frowned.
Just hearing those two words made me feel a strange pressure, as if some rule had been triggered.
Eunuch Wei continued, "The so-called 'Thought Gods ' are those who have died. They have their own consciousness. They have not become monsters, but they continue to act in various forms as they did in life, and this cycle repeats itself."
"However, if they come into contact with living people for too long, their rationality will gradually be stripped away, and in the end, they will turn into terrifying Thought Gods."
"It arises from the thought of living and ends with the thought of living people, hence it is called the Thought Gods."
"As for the benefits, there are many."
At this point, Eunuch Wei pointed to the sword manual in the hands of the first-rank puppet.
Xu Bai was slightly taken aback. "Did you get this from there?"
Eunuch Wei nodded and said, "Back then, the Knife Ghost was just an ordinary swordsman, but he accidentally entered the Ruins and even managed to come out alive. It was thanks to this sword manual that he achieved his current reputation."
"What's inside is beyond your wildest imagination: indestructible armor, weapons sharp enough to cut a hair in two, and intriguing trade manuals... So, you understand why we went in, right?"
Xu Bai nodded and said, "I understand."
Now that things have come to this point, how could he not understand the intention behind it? These treasures alone are enough to drive people crazy, not to mention that obtaining them would definitely greatly increase one's strength.
Both sides gaining this advantage will significantly enhance their strength, giving them a considerable edge in the pursuit of unifying the world.
"When will it start?" Xu Bai asked.
Now that the conversation had reached this point, Xu Bai expressed great interest. Not only great interest, he even wanted to turn the Ruins upside down.
He had no interest in weapons or armor; what interested him most were the secret manuals of various trades.
With the secret manual, you get a progress bar; with the progress bar, you can improve your strength—that's the most important thing.
So after much Xu Bai, Xu Bai had made up his mind to go in and take a look.
I was worried about how to progress the progress bar, but now I have it! If I can get everything in there, I can instantly go from being poor to rich. It will not only solve my immediate problem, but also bring long-term benefits.
Beautiful, so very beautiful!
Rising Dusk King laughed and said, "I knew that young Xu would be overjoyed to hear this news. See, I was right?"
Eunuch Wei glanced at Rising Dusk King and said, "I am not Prince, nor do I have great ambitions. I only know that if something were to happen to King Xu, His Majesty would probably be furious. Your Prince, I hope you will think twice before acting, after all, King Xu is now a pillar of the Great Chu Kingdom."
Ruins not only offer tempting benefits, but also harbor hidden dangers.
The Thought Gods within are extremely dangerous; even a glimpse from afar could lead to utter destruction.
Eunuch Wei said this, he was also giving Rising Dusk King a heads-up.
Rising Dusk King waved his hand and said, "I know you are worried about Xu Bai, but sometimes too much protection is the beginning of mediocrity. Besides, I respect Xu Bai's wishes. As long as Xu Bai doesn't go, I won't force him at all."
Eunuch Wei looked at Xu Bai, implying that he had explained the key points to him and that the decision to stay or leave was entirely up to him.
Xu Bai smiled and said, "With such an exciting event, of course I have to go and see. I'm not stupid, and I wouldn't joke around with my own life."
At this point, his meaning was quite clear: if there's a progress bar, why not take it?
What is danger? These days, he has faced countless dangers as he climbed his way up from the bottom.
As the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, and he had to take this step.
Eunuch Wei knew Xu Bai's character well and knew that once Xu Bai made up his mind, it would be difficult to correct him. He could only sigh and give him a few words of advice, telling him to be careful.
Xu Bai seemed to have overheard something and asked, "Eunuch Wei, aren't we going in together? Perhaps there's something useful for you inside."
From what Eunuch Wei had just said, it seemed that Eunuch Wei didn't want to participate in this Ruins to the Ruins. There were many treasures inside; didn't Eunuch Wei care at all? Eunuch Wei shook his head. "I really want to go in, but ever since that letter that King Xu sent to His Majesty, saying that many old things were preparing to be resurrected, I've been cleaning them up. After this cleanup, I followed the clues and found quite a few more. I guess His Majesty doesn't have enough manpower, so I have to go back."
In Eunuch Wei's view, the interests of the Great Chu Kingdom were far more important than a Ruins, so he would not linger here. If it weren't for delivering the sword manual to Xu Bai, he wouldn't have even come here.
"Leaving tomorrow?" Xu Bai asked.
Eunuch Wei shook his head and said, "I'm leaving right now tonight."
Xu Bai said with slight regret, "I was saying that I would get drunk with Eunuch Wei tonight, what a pity."
He wasn't exaggerating; that was truly his thought. As the saying goes, "A thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend." Although he and Eunuch Wei were vastly different in age, they were a rare confidant when it came to drinking.
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Eunuch Wei stood up and walked outside, saying as he went, "I have to go."
Without saying much, not even a goodbye, Eunuch Wei had abruptly disappeared.
Seeing this, Rising Dusk King smiled bitterly and said, "Eunuch Wei has spent his whole life working for the Great Chu Kingdom. I wonder when it will end and he will be able to rest."
Xu Bai withdrew his gaze and smiled, "You are not a fish, how can you know the fish's joy? Perhaps Eunuch Wei finds it delightful? Your Prince, when does that Ruins open?"
Everyone has different pursuits, so it's difficult to understand other people's perspectives from one's own standpoint.
Now is not the time to discuss these things, but Xu Bai still asked about the Ruins.
Now that we have a pretty good understanding of everything, the most important thing is when the Ruins will open so that we can make preparations in advance.
Rising Dusk King waved his hand and said, "It's still early. It will probably be more than half a month from now. I will let you know in advance."
Xu Bai nodded. Since it was still early, he wasn't in a hurry. He had asked about most of the things, and it was already late at night, so he didn't want to disturb him and took his leave.
Rising Dusk King did not insist on keeping Xu Bai. After leaving, he picked up the book on the table and continued reading.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, almost half a month had passed.
In the past two weeks, major events have occurred in the Rising Dusk Army. Many of the spies planted within, whether from the Barbarian Tribe or the Great Yue Kingdom, have been removed.
Without a guarantee of 100% removal, what remains is not necessarily in an important location.
For the past two weeks, the Rising Dusk Army has made no other moves, nor has it mentioned sending troops or anything like that.
However, Xu Bai had heard that because Rising Dusk King was so ingenious, the Great Yue Kingdom and the Barbarian Tribe all followed suit. But some things, once used the first time, have very little effect the second time.
Therefore, the other two forces did not produce good results when they were used.
Xu Bai only heard about these things occasionally, but he didn't care about them and focused on mastering the Ghost Knife Three Styles.
It has to be said that this is indeed the progress bar for the extraordinary stage; the speed is really too slow. If it weren't for the cheat system being upgraded once, it would probably take even longer.
Thinking about the upgrade process, Xu Bai felt an urge to visit the two Ghost Market again.
Of course, it was just an impulse. Most importantly, there was no way to get in right now, and my strength wasn't very stable.
Fortunately, after more than half a month, the progress bar in my hand is finally full.
Pale blue smoke appeared before my eyes, gradually coalescing into a line of text, which then floated into the air.
You observe and comprehend the three Ghost Knife Three Styles of the Ghost Knife Three Styles.
After the pale blue text appeared, it quickly turned into smoke and filled the air. This time it did not turn into information, which indicates that there is a sign of merging.
[Mergeable options found, currently in progress.]
[The Ghost Knife Three Styles + The Swordless Saber Grand Technique = The Blade Sword Three Absolutes.]
[Merger successful.]
The next moment, the words disappeared completely, turning into smoke and then into information, which entered Xu Bai's mind.
Xu Bai closed his eyes and carefully absorbed the massive amount of information. Only after he had completely absorbed all the information did he slowly open his eyes.
The latest panel appeared before him.
[Name: Xu Bai]
[Realm Level: Third Grade Mortal Third Rank Loose Cultivator.]
[The Blade Sword Three Absolutes (Transcendent Tier 9): Max Level.]
[Myriad Aspects Heavenly Attraction Art (Transcendent Stage 3): Max Level.]

Holy crap!
Even with Xu Bai's current state of mind, he couldn't help but swear, unable to conceal the shock in his heart.
Transcendent Ninth Rank!
That's an incredibly powerful skill! You should know that after reaching the extraordinary level, there are only two paths: becoming a saint or Exiting Sainthood.
This skill has now reached its extraordinary peak.
Although it's not a mental cultivation technique, it's like equipping a child with a giant cannonball.
Wow, that's amazing!
Xu Bai pondered it carefully and quickly understood the skill.
"It turns out that the Knife Ghost hasn't mastered that sword manual yet."
Before the fusion, Xu Bai estimated that the skill was at most at the seventh level of the extraordinary realm, but for the Knife Ghost who was only at the sixth level of the extraordinary realm, it was still not at the highest level. After the fusion, the power was stronger and more fierce.
The so-called Blade Sword Three Absolutes consist of only three moves in total.
These three moves are named Slaying Man, Overturning Earth, and Overturning Heaven.
Each move has its own characteristics, and they get stronger and stronger.
The move "Slaying Man" possesses immense external destructive power; according to the skill description, it can split the heavens and earth with a single strike.
The move "Overturning Earth the Earth" is not about external destructive force, but about destroying the inside, causing damage from the inside out.
Even with a strong exterior, it is soft inside, and its destruction from the inside out makes it even more ruthless and insidious.
It is said that once the Overturning Earth, corpses will float for thousands of miles.
As for the Overturning Heaven" move, it combines internal and external forces, moving from the inside out and then from the outside in, creating unparalleled destructive power through the clash between the two sides.
These three moves encapsulate everything: from the outside in, from the inside out, and finally, from both inside and outside together.
However, there is still a drawback for Xu Bai.
"I still don't have enough mana." Xu Bai thought to himself, using gaming terminology.
The skills at the ninth level of the Transcendent Realm are really beyond his capabilities. He is currently only at the third level of the Mortal Transformation Realm, so using them is extremely difficult for him.
Based on his current True Yuan Power, he could continuously use the Slaying Man for about two incense sticks' worth of time.
If the Undying Demon Soul Buddha Body is used again, the combined effect of the two can only last for the duration of one incense stick.
However, Xu Bai was already quite satisfied. One incense stick was quite long, wasn't it? According to the conversion rules of the Great Chu Kingdom, one incense stick was equivalent to fifteen minutes.
Fifteen minutes of intensity, top-notch! As for Overturning Earth, forget about it.
Xu Bai estimated that even if he used all the True Yuan Power in his kidneys, he still wouldn't be able to use it.
What's more, a complete Overturning Heaven? "We've made a profit!"
In any case, gaining a powerful attack method in return is already very suitable for him.
"I feel like I could kill a lot of people right now, and I really want to find someone to test my skills." Xu Bai clenched his fists.
He no longer needed a knife; he hadn't needed one for a long time. When he reached the Transcendent Realm, weapons were no longer very important to him. If he hadn't happened to have the materials at the time, he wouldn't have been able to create the Hundred Rifts Blade.
Of course, this "not needed" is relative.
If you were to give him a weapon of Exiting Sainthood- level quality right now, he would really need it.
Of course, that's just wishful thinking.
At least for now, Xu Bai doesn't need to improve his mechanical skills; what's more important is finding the mental cultivation method.
"I wonder if Rising Dusk King techniques. Although his Military Formation Method, he should have them, right? Maybe I should go ask him?" Xu Bai rubbed his chin, thinking to himself.
To be honest, once this idea came to him, it took root in his mind, and he really wanted to ask about it.
"I'll do it right away. I'll go ask. If they don't give it to me, then forget it." After making up his mind, Xu Bai got up and went out the door, preparing to head to Rising Dusk King's Camp Tent.
Outside the Camp Tent, there was still a steady stream of patrolling soldiers, but before Xu Bai could reach his destination, he heard a shout coming from outside the camp.
A soldier came running in from outside, shouting as he ran.
"Report! The Barbarian Tribe deputy chieftain and the military god of the Great Yue Kingdom have suddenly led tens of thousands of troops and have arrived at the Third Watch River."
The voice shouted this several times, running and shouting all the way, and finally entered Rising Dusk King's Camp Tent.
Soon, Rising Dusk King came out from inside, his face grim.
"The Third Watch River? What's that?" Xu Bai wondered to himself.
Just then, Rising Dusk King came out and saw Xu Bai. He immediately turned to a general and told him to quickly gather his troops and prepare to head to the Third Watch River. At the same time, he winked at Xu Bai.
Although he didn't say anything, Xu Bai quickly understood that he was to be asked to come along.
"It seems Your Prince intends to come along." Xu Bai thought for a moment and nodded to Rising Dusk King.
Before long, Chu Yu also came out and quickly gathered her men.
Under the strict command of the army, the marching speed increased significantly, and before long, many soldiers came from the surrounding camps.
These are all cavalrymen, and speed is their primary concern.
Rising Dusk King also donned his armor and stood at the forefront. At the same time, a horse was handed to Xu Bai; it was Chu Yu who gave it to him.
"Father wants to use the military formation to travel faster. You can ride on horseback and catch a tailwind, making it even faster."
Xu Bai nodded and mounted his horse.
His horsemanship was also quite superb, after all, he had always traveled on horseback before.
He didn't ask, but he already had a guess in his mind.
Perhaps it's related to the Ruins, since the time that Rising Dusk King told him is getting closer and closer.
Last time we pulled out a nail, we couldn't guarantee it was completely removed; I guess the news leaked out.
Xu Bai didn't ask any more questions. Under Chu Yu's guidance, he stood side by side with Rising Dusk King.
"As you thought, the elite of the Dark Building truly lived up to their reputation. At the cost of thousands of lives, they actually managed to get the intelligence out," Rising Dusk King said succinctly.
This one sentence alone made Xu Bai realize that his guess was correct.
After all, the three forces have been fighting for so long, and it has always been a back-and-forth battle where one side wins and the other wins. It is impossible for one side to completely dominate the other. So it is normal for there to be winners and losers on the battlefield, let alone in the realm of intelligence.
Neither the Great Yue Kingdom nor the Barbarian Tribe were weaklings, so this move was not unexpected for Xu Bai.
Moreover, judging from Rising Dusk King's attitude, it seemed that it was not unexpected.
With the military situation urgent, the group didn't exchange many words. Rising Dusk King drew his long sword from his waist and pointed it at the sky.
The next moment, a dazzling light emanated from Rising Dusk King's body. At the same time, in Xu Bai's eyes, the tens of thousands of soldiers gathered there all emitted light, responding to Rising Dusk King.
When all the light is concentrated together, it is so bright that one cannot open their eyes, and even the sun in the sky pales in comparison.
Rising Dusk King possessed unparalleled strength and Military Formation Method that instilled fear throughout the entire martial world.
The next moment, when the light reached its most intense moment, Xu Bai suddenly felt that the space-time in front of him was gradually receding. His horse lifted its hind legs and galloped out lightly, each step covering a thousand meters.
This speed is faster than he can fly!
In the blink of an eye, Xu Bai heard the sound of flowing water beside him. He looked closely and found that time and space around him were no longer reversing, and he appeared in front of a wide river.
At this moment, this spacious place seems slightly crowded.
Rising Dusk King led tens of thousands of troops, but the Great Yue Kingdom and the Barbarian Tribe also led tens of thousands of troops.
When the three forces gathered together, a deathly silence fell.
Xu Bai could clearly see that both the Great Yue Kingdom and the Barbarian Tribe had leaders, both dressed as middle-aged men.
The aura emanating from these people was similar to that of Rising Dusk King, clearly indicating their Military Formation Method.
The imposing presence of these two men was not only similar to that of Rising Dusk King, but also comparable.
"This idea is a bit tricky," Xu Bai thought to himself as he sat on his horse.
Behind Xu Bai were the First Prince, Chu Yu, and a group of generals.
Their faces were solemn, and they all wore expressions of deep concentration.
At this moment, Rising Dusk King suddenly pointed ahead and said to Xu Bai, "Do you see those two people? Bai Zhong, the military god of the Great Yue Kingdom, Gu Mu Yin, the deputy leader of the Supreme Tribe of the Barbarian Tribe."
Xu Bai was taken aback. He couldn't understand why Rising Dusk King would suddenly introduce him at this time. Could there be some other meaning behind it? As it turned out, he was overthinking it. There was no other meaning behind it. Rising Dusk King's next sentence made the already tense atmosphere even more tense.
"Both of these guys have been beaten by me, and of course, I've been beaten by them too, but they've been beaten by me more often. It felt great!"
The scene fell into a deathly silence after those words, and Xu Bai could see with his own eyes that the faces of the two top big shots had turned extremely gloomy.
Good heavens, as expected of the Rising Dusk King, his personality is truly unchanged; he immediately drew all the hatred upon arrival.
Didn't you see the expressions on those two's faces? They looked like they'd swallowed a fly.
After saying this, Rising Dusk King asked again, "Are you afraid?"
"I'm scared," Xu Bai said directly, "But I also want to give it a try."
"That's great!" Rising Dusk King heartily, beckoned to the two top-level individuals with his finger, and said disdainfully, "Come and hit me."
Arrogant, extremely arrogant.
But the war god and deputy leader on the other side, apart from their gloomy faces, remained silent.
Xu Bai understood. In this three-way situation, no one made the first move because they were all on guard against the other two.
The God of War Bai Zhong, sneered, "You tricked me with your provocation once before, and you think you can use it again today? You're dreaming. Let's talk about these Ruins."
