Heavenly Dragon World Ending Sound

Putting aside the materials on Pill Refining and Artifact Forging, Yang Ning then looked at Cultivation Technique Translation.

Pill Refining and Artifact Forging were merely ways to earn cultivation resources, but the translation of the Great Dragon Physiognomy was related to his own Dao path, making it the absolute priority!

Although the Dragon Clan and the Human Race had different physical structures, dragons were the ancestors of all things. All living beings had the potential to cultivate into dragons, which was the foundation for Dragon Clan cultivation techniques to be translated into Human Race techniques.

Furthermore, dragons had dragon veins, and humans had spinal cords. Dragons had four limbs and five claws, and humans also had four limbs and five claws. Dragons had nine orifices, and humans also had nine orifices. Dragons were inherently lustful, and humans were the same.

In summary, while there were differences between humans and dragons, they were not as significant as imagined. Many Dragon Clan techniques could even be used directly by humans.

Immortal Venerable Taiheng didn't have twenty thousand people back then either; didn't he translate a Supreme Dao Art by himself?

The difficulty of translation sometimes depended on the compatibility of the Dao Art with humans.

Moreover, translation was a skillful job, emphasizing faithfulness, expressiveness, and permanence.

Faithfulness meant preserving the original meaning without distortion. For example, if it was clearly an Earth-element technique, it couldn't be turned into a Water-element one.

Expressiveness meant not being bound by the method of expression. For instance, if a dragon had a tail but a human didn't, one couldn't force it; the tail could be changed into a whip.

Permanence referred to the power of the translated technique. It should be comparable to the original. A slight difference was acceptable, but not too much. It couldn't be that a dragon could smash a mountain with one claw, while a human could only stir up a small sand dune, or an Earth-grade Dao Art became a Human-grade one after translation.

There were also some exceptionally skilled individuals who could translate Earth-grade Dao Arts into Earth-grade ones. Such people were not just big shots in the industry; they might be big shots themselves.

When Yang Ning read the Vast Universe Records, he initially thought that translating cultivation techniques was a difficult task, considering how many people in the Tianyi Sect spent so many years on it!

Only after understanding the industry did he realize that it used to be difficult, but not anymore.

This was thanks to the work of the Tianyi Sect. Back then, the Tianyi Sect mobilized a large number of people to participate in the translation of cultivation techniques. Although the final results were kept secret, the many technologies born during this process were not.

For example, the Dragon Language Dictionary, the Human-Dragon Meridian Comparison Table, the Ancient and Modern Spirit Material Name Comparison Table, the Human-Dragon Skeletal Structure Comparison Table, and the Human Missing Part Replacement Plan...

With these, the difficulty of translating cultivation techniques was greatly reduced, to the point where one could find a Cultivation Technique Translation Hall on almost any street.

Of course, this openness was not entirely open. At least Yang Ning couldn't find these materials in the library, nor were they sold on the street.

Without the Cloud-Mist Information Matrix, if one wanted to learn these materials from scratch, they would have to wait until graduation, join one of these translation halls, and then spend three to five years studying one book, waiting for thirty to forty years to finish the entire set of textbooks.

"Are these translation halls backed by the Taiheng Sect? They can not only retrieve cultivation techniques but also clarify who possesses them. If a technique is unsuitable for dissemination, they can even control it at the source." Yang Ning wondered if he would have had to find these translation halls to translate his cultivation techniques if he didn't have the Spiritual Realm and hadn't developed the Cloud-Mist Information Matrix.

If he brought the Great Dragon Physiognomy, no, even just one of its peerless Dao Arts, to them, and the Taiheng Sect discovered it...

Since they were unwilling to teach even a gun technique of the level of Phoenix Cry, how could they possibly allow a peerless Dao Art to be mastered by him?

"No wonder Tuo Buchuan said that if this inheritance fell into my hands, I would be destined to be enemies with Tai Heng." Yang Ning clicked his tongue. Indeed, one's greatest opponent understands them the best!

"Isn't the Great Dragon Physiognomy a Supreme Dao Art? Why does it have a progress bar?" Yang Ning asked, pointing at the progress bar on the screen.

"Supreme Dao Arts also have basic content. Because the observation time has been short and the collected data is insufficient, the translation work has just begun!" Deep Blue replied.

Although there were textbooks, the Cloud-Mist Information Matrix couldn't scan text through books. It could only wait for the apprentices to flip through the books while studying and seize the opportunity to take a look.

However, because there were many translation halls and they flipped through different books, a considerable amount of data had been collected so far.

"I'm not saying you're slow; I think you're fast!" Yang Ning said. "I thought I'd have to wait until the Qi Refining Stage before work could begin!"

"Theory always goes further than practice!" Deep Blue replied.

The Great Dragon Physiognomy consisted of seven peerless Dao Arts in total. The other six were at a progress of 0.02%, while for [Heavenly Dragon World Ending Sound], Yang Ning noticed the progress bar had already reached 5%.

"The Heavenly Dragon World Ending Sound includes methods to destroy the world using mana, as well as techniques that solely utilize sound," Deep Blue explained. "Modern science has also conducted extremely in-depth research on sound. When the two are combined, it directly led to a 5% progress. The reason I discovered that ultrasonic waves can replace the Qi and Blood Field is due to the translation of the Heavenly Dragon World Ending Sound."

Yang Ning clicked on Heavenly Dragon World Ending Sound and found that several sound techniques had already been developed below it.

Sound Modulation: By adjusting the sound waveform, harmonics, frequency, and loudness, any sound can be obtained.

Ultrasonic Waves: By tempering the vocal cords with the Qi and Blood Field, the vocal cords can be strengthened to emit ultrasonic waves. Alternatively, by stimulating crystals with an electric field, the crystals can oscillate and emit ultrasonic waves.

Infrasonic Waves: By tempering the vocal cords with the Qi and Blood Field, infrasonic waves can be emitted.

Sound Blade: By superimposing sound waves to generate shock waves that can cut objects.

Sound Transmission: By constraining sound waves with the Qi and Blood Field, private sound transmission over short distances can be achieved.

"This ability!" Yang Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Can it make sounds through mist droplets?"

"Yes, how loud do you need the sound to be?" Deep Blue asked.

"Loud enough to resonate throughout the entire city?" Yang Ning asked.

"It can mobilize 300,000 mist droplets to resonate, creating a thunderous sound!"

"Like a normal person talking, so that many people nearby can hear it?" Yang Ning asked.

"It requires 2,000 mist droplets to resonate!" Deep Blue replied.

"And if only one person is to hear it?" Yang Ning asked again.

"3 mist droplets, vibrating directly on the eardrum!"

The eardrum is the part within the outer ear and ear canal that senses sound vibrations. Inside that are the ossicles.

"This ability is very suitable for schemers!" Yang Ning stroked his chin. Mist droplets can be used for remote communication, and the Deep Blue Eye can transmit images remotely. With these means, couldn't one communicate, converse, and even control others remotely?

Of course, it would only be verbal control, but as a transmigrator, he could easily fool someone with his words.

"Help me retrieve information about the Bei Family!"

"Retrieved!"

"The Bei Family was founded four years ago by siblings Bei Qiu Ming and Bei Qiu Shuang. Their main business is metal smelting, artifact forging, and special metal research and development. Currently, their products include Snow Bright Crystal Iron, Black Furnace Black Iron, and Crimson Flame Steel, with annual sales of around 400,000 taels and a profit of 30,000 taels."

[Bei Qiu Ming, a graduate of Ascension Academy 11 years ago, came from humble beginnings as an attendant. Unable to advance to the Qi Refining Stage, he remained in Seacloud City. He later joined the Heng Family as an artifact forging master before leaving them four years ago.

Bei Qiu Shuang, Bei Qiu Ming's younger sister, is an ordinary person, 16 years old this year. She is beautiful and is suspected to have been brought in by Bei Qiu Ming to help with the shop. Currently, there is nothing special about her.

Because they invented Crimson Flame Steel, the Bei Family has been targeted by the Eight Great Mine Merchants families. However, due to their owner being an inner disciple of Taiheng Sect, no one dares to use aggressive tactics. They can only resort to market manipulation, attempting to force Bei Qiu Ming to voluntarily hand over the Crimson Flame Steel secret recipe.

Bei Qiu Ming refuses to yield an inch. Even in times of economic hardship, he has not raised prices to offset risks, maintaining the original prices for all goods. This standoff has lasted for four months, with the Bei Family estimated to have lost around 240,000 taels.

Bei Qiu Ming has a resilient personality and treats others sincerely. His cultivation talent is average, but his metallurgical talent is astonishing, possessing incredible acuity in material development. He is also gentle towards his sister, providing her with the same food and lodging as himself. A prominent figure once offered to resolve the Bei Family's predicament if Bei Qiu Shuang married him, but Bei Qiu Ming refused.]

"Gentle towards his sister!" Yang Ning asked, "Are you sure they're really brother and sister?"

"They are indeed brother and sister!" Deep Blue brought up photos of the two. Their eyes, noses, and eyebrows were carved from the same mold, with only slight differences in their lips – one thicker, the other slightly so. There was no need for a DNA test; it was obvious they were biological siblings.

"Is this sibling relationship pure?" Yang Ning asked again.

"Pure!" Deep Blue stated calmly, "They don't sleep in the same room, and they maintain a deliberate distance when interacting. They are close, but not intimate!"

"That's quite unusual!" Yang Ning nodded. Looking at the arrangements for maids in Taiheng Sect, he knew this world was quite patriarchal.

Don't be fooled by the many doting brothers or sisters who treat their younger siblings like grandchildren in television dramas. Those are just dramas.

In dramas, even poor people live in villas!

In reality, it's common for brothers to treat their sisters like maids, hitting them with a raised hand and scolding them with an open mouth. Yang Ning had seen plenty of that in Yuejing.

Bei Qiu Ming's attitude towards his sister, while existing in this world, was definitely not common. Just from this point alone, it could be seen that this elder brother was truly an honest gentleman.

It was no wonder he was being suppressed like this, yet still stubbornly refusing to raise prices or compromise.

Considering the Bei Family had only earned an estimated 120,000 taels in its four years of operation, and now they had lost 240,000 taels, they had lost all the money they had earned while working for others!

"This person can be used in the open! Do you have any ideas for the hidden aspects?" Yang Ning asked.

"What about the Jiang Yun people?" Deep Blue asked.

"Jiang Yun people?" Yang Ning pondered. In Taiheng, this term represented only one group: slaves!

Being slaves meant there were definitely a lot of them.

Furthermore, the Jiang Yun people once had a glorious kingdom, so their hearts were filled with pride, and they never lacked a spirit of resistance.

Unlike some races who could even feel a sense of honor in being slaves.

Yes, I'm talking about CP0.

The Jiang Yun people could certainly be used. They were intelligent, smart, loyal, and diligent.

It was precisely because they were too diligent and too united that after the Jiang Yun Nation was established, its rapid rise exceeded everyone's expectations, attracting the hostility of various forces, ultimately leading to its dismemberment.

Money, cultivation techniques, and freedom were all things they yearned for, and Yang Ning possessed them all.

If they could cooperate, it wouldn't be impossible to help the Jiang Yun people restore their nation!

Moreover, they hated everyone who made them slaves, which naturally included Taiheng. If they could be subdued, they would be less likely to betray him.

However, there was a problem with recruiting Jiang Yun people: there weren't many Jiang Yun people in Taiheng who could move freely outside.

Should I orchestrate their escape, or have Bei Qiu Ming step forward to purchase them?
