(Sorry, the chapters were misorganized; they have now been corrected!)
In the enormous palace specially prepared by the Old Zhu Household, Wang Hao looked with satisfaction at the two kneeling figures in front of him. These two were none other than Wang Xiufang and Zhu Yijun.
He was very satisfied with the progress of these two people. In just a few days, they had condensed their Qi and blood, which had reached his expected standard of recognition.
Therefore, it is time to pass on the Blood Essence Martial Path!
"I have witnessed your hard work and dedication over this period of time. Today, I hereby announce that you have earned my approval and are qualified to inherit the Whitebeard Blood Essence Martial Path!"
Wang Xiufang and Zhu Yijun, who were kneeling on the ground, were overjoyed and looked forward to the legendary Blood Essence Martial Path even more.
They had fought so desperately to obtain the legendary Blood Essence Martial Path, and today they had finally succeeded. How could they not be overjoyed?
" Blood Essence Martial Path is different from Innate Qi Refinement Martial Dao. Qi Refinement Martial Dao focuses on innate Qi, while Qi and Blood Essence Martial Path focuses on blood vessels. It gathers the body's energy into the blood, with the Middle Dantian and heart as the core, and blood vessels as the channels to Daoliu throughout the body, nourishing the muscles, bones, skin, internal organs, and even the marrow fluid in the body."
However, my Blood Essence Martial Path does not neglect the cultivation of Innate Qi. When breaking through from the Yellow Grade to the Mystic Grade, which is what you in the Central Plains call the Grandmaster Realm, Innate Qi is born. Then, this Innate Qi is integrated into the blood, merging with the Bloodline Power to form the Bloodline Power..."
Wang Hao explained the essence of Blood Essence Martial Path to the two of them in detail, without holding back a single thought.
In the Jiuli Tribe of the Primordial Great World, the essence blood cultivated by warriors is the manifestation of the Bloodline Power within their bodies when it becomes concentrated to a certain degree, while the Bloodline Power is equivalent to a weakened version of the essence blood power.
So the factors that contribute to their formation are similar, except that he adds the Innate Qi.
This is unavoidable. In the Primordial Great World, with its abundant resources and rich, high-level Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, cultivating essence blood energy is naturally not difficult.
But the Smiling, Proud Wanderer is just a low-level martial arts world, without even the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Even if one breaks through to the Celestial Person Realm or even the Shattering Realm, it is probably impossible to spontaneously condense essence blood energy.
Therefore, he needed to create a transitional energy that would allow people to improve the concentration and purity of their bloodline through cultivation, and ultimately autonomously condense the power of their essence and blood.
Qi and Blood Essence Martial Path were created for this purpose, and they are in no way inferior to Qi Refinement Martial Dao, and in some aspects they are even better.
After explaining the essence of Blood Essence Martial Path, Wang Hao pointed his finger at the center of their foreheads and transmitted the cultivation method of Blood Essence Martial Path to them through his Innate Divine Sense. He even transmitted his own cultivation experience and insights in Qi and Blood Essence Martial Path.
" The Qi and Blood Cultivation Method is the foundation of Blood Essence Martial Path. The Nine-Character True Art are the techniques for training one's own strength and combat skills, and are also the most basic. The Six Powers are the basic application of a technique, which requires a high level of personal quality and must not be practiced before reaching the required standard."
However, the Six Powers is only the most basic technique. You can use it as a foundation to develop techniques that suit you. For example, your Ten Foundation Martial Arts of the Ten Strong Martial Arts is quite good.
Once you've mastered the Six Powers to a certain level, you'll gain a significant boost in self-control, which will greatly aid your cultivation, helping you to control every inch of your muscles, bones, flesh, and vital energy.
That's right, Wang Hao simply copied and deduced the Six Powers of the Pirate King from One Piece. The principles of the Six Powers are sometimes very simple, sometimes very complicated, and sometimes just pure nonsense.
Therefore, Wang Hao only borrowed the setting of the Six Powers. As for the specific training method, he imitated it by Simulation based on his own profound martial arts foundation.
When combined with Blood Essence Martial Path, it becomes even more powerful, making it a very good practical combat technique.
Wang Xiufang and the other woman were also deeply shocked by those Six Powers. Take the Geppo as an example: the First Tier is to walk on water, and the Second Tier is to walk on air, and even fly.
This is an extremely practical and powerful technique. In the Central Plains, it would definitely be considered a top-tier cultivation method, something even the most powerful experts at the Peak Innate would envy.
But now this kind of technique is just a basic combat skill of Qi Blood Essence Martial Path, the difference in comparison is quite large.
"Sir, what are Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki?"
Wang Xiufang, who was the first to come to her senses, inquired about the cultivation methods for the other three powers in the inheritance.
That's right, these Three Types of Haki were also deduced by Wang Hao. Although they have nothing to do with the Three Types of Haki in Pirate King Piece, they are based on the latter's design.
After all, when acting, you have to go all the way; he takes acting seriously!
Since he's playing the role of Whitebeard, he naturally has to replicate these three classic power systems.
" The Three Types of Haki are an alternative application of Qi and blood. Observation Haki is actually the integration of Divine Sense power into Qi and blood, allowing the cultivator to clearly sense external things through Qi and blood."
Some exceptionally gifted individuals, after mastering Observation Haki to its extreme, can directly achieve Unity of Heaven and Humanity, possessing the power to hear the thoughts of all things, and even briefly Future Sight, stepping into the realm of time.
This explanation made Wang Xiufang and the other woman's eyes light up. In their eyes, this Observation Haki was simply a supreme secret technique that led directly to the Celestial Person Realm.
They were especially excited to hear that mastering Observation Haki to its peak could grant the ability to briefly Future Sight and even enter the realm of time.
If Observation Haki is already this powerful, the other two types of Haki must be equally formidable.
After the two had recovered slightly from the shock of the Observation Haki, Wang Hao continued to exaggerate the concept of Armament Haki.
Of course, it's the kind that they themselves deduced and copied.
" Armament Haki is different from Observation Haki. Its function is very simple and pure: to increase attack and defense power. However, it is equally powerful and can even allow the practitioner to attack some strange entities."
As Wang Hao spoke, he condensed and compressed the Qi and blood in his body onto the surface, forming a blackish-red energy film that displayed an extremely strong and unique luster.
"Clang! Clang!"
The two fists, imbued with a knock-off version of Armament Haki, collided, producing a dull metallic clang.
Although he didn't display Armament Haki in battle, he still greatly impressed Wang Xiufang and the other person.
The function of Armament Haki is indeed very simple and pure, but its power is also considerable, and in some ways even more important than Observation Haki.
" Conqueror's Haki is quite special. It is mostly Innate and can only be possessed by people with special bloodlines. However, it can also be developed through Acquired."
This Haki doesn't have a very strong effect in the early stages; it only has a powerful suppressive effect on those weaker than itself, and can even suppress those slightly weaker to the point of unconsciousness. It's a good choice for clearing out some grunts.
However, Conqueror's Haki is the key to fusing the Three Types of Haki, ultimately enabling the creation of Conqueror's Territory, forming an absolute domain of power. Within this domain, the cultivator is a god, an almost Bubai being.
However, according to ancient records, only ten ancient emperors managed to cultivate the Conqueror's Territory.
You only need a basic understanding of this. You can try it if you have the opportunity in the future, but don't force it if you don't.
After smoothly deceiving him for a while, Wang Hao's expression changed, and he said solemnly, "You are not yet strong enough to bear the power of the military formations and Military Dao Cloud Qi inheritances. However, I have already entrusted these inheritances to Zhu Yanzu. If you reach the required standard in the future, he will pass them on to you."
The concepts of military formations and Military Dao Cloud Qi are not based on movies, TV shows, or anime; they are genuine traditions within the Jiuli Tribe of the Primordial Great World, and are almost essential for large legions.
It is the strongest manifestation of collective power, even enough to enable numerous soldiers to kill enemies of higher ranks, and it is also the most important foundation for deterring all forces.
However, Wang Hao's Primordial World past life was not qualified to obtain this kind of inheritance; he had only heard some rumors about it. It would be quite difficult for him to deduce it from this foundation.
Most importantly, he lacks a lot of practical experience and references, so this aspect needs to be put on hold for a while. He will pass it on to these two people when he has figured it out.
"Alright, the matter of succession is settled, and it's time for me to leave. But before I go, I want to ask you one question—would you be willing to be my sons and daughters, Whitebeard?"
Since he's using the Whitebeard persona, the classic scene of adopting a godson is naturally indispensable.
"Godfather, please accept my bow!"
"Godfather, please accept my bow!"
Although Wang Hao's request shocked the two of them, they still chose to accept it, and were even quite delighted.
In this era, having such a powerful figure as a godfather is a great thing. Where can you find such a strong backer?
They'd be willing to be anyone's godson, let alone their grandson.
If this person were to say such a thing in the Central Plains, at least 90% of the people Central Plains would probably be willing to recognize him as their godfather.
"Good! Good! Good! From this day forward, you will be my third Whitebeard daughter and eighteenth adopted son!"
Wang Hao seemed very happy and said "good" three times in a row.
"Are there still so many older brothers and sisters? Godfather, are they all in the New World now?"
Wang Xiufang was very happy to have so many older brothers and sisters. She had always hoped to have an older brother or sister to protect her, and she was especially envious of little girls who had older brothers and sisters and rode on their backs on their way home.
Moreover, since they were adopted as godsons by their godfather, their older brothers and sisters must be quite powerful, even if not as powerful as their godfather, they must be quite strong as well.
"Yes, you three older sisters are currently stationed in my territory in the New World, fighting against those Ferocious Beast. As for your brothers... sigh!"
At this point, Wang Hao sighed, appearing very sad.
"The eldest, third, and fourth brothers perished while resisting the beast tide, their bodies never to be found. The second brother went out for training and suddenly disappeared, presumably encountering some misfortune. The fifth brother suffered a qi deviation during cultivation and exploded, dying. The sixth brother..."
As Wang Hao continued to speak with a sorrowful expression, Wang Xiufang also looked grief-stricken and deeply sympathized with him. However, Zhu Yijun on the other side had a faint greenish tinge to her face and seemed to be feeling unwell.
How come all the adopted sons you took in have met such tragic ends? Almost none of them have escaped unscathed. Are you cursed?
Filled with grief and indignation, Zhu Yijun only wanted to ask: Is it too late to back out now?
There was no way around it; the fates of his sworn brothers were far too tragic, and their deaths were quite bizarre. Now that he had become this Whitebeard's adopted son, would he suffer the same fate?
Wang Hao glanced discreetly at Zhu Yijun's distorted face, secretly pleased with himself.
That's right, he said it on purpose to tease his younger cousin, and also to warn him not to get arrogant because he had obtained the Blood Essence Martial Path.
So I really meant well!
"Roar!"
Just then, a ferocious roar came from not far away. The terrifying sound waves shook Wang Xiufang and Zhu Yijun's bodies violently, causing their heads to ache terribly and even bleeding from their ears, clearly indicating that their eardrums had ruptured.
This shows how terrifying that roar was.
"Oh no!"
Wang Hao suddenly stood up and looked in the direction from which the sound came. He yelled "Damn it!" and without offering any explanation, he quickly dashed out.
