Dao Fruit - Power at the Limit of Gang Force
[At 176, you discovered that the School of Yin and Yang originated with Zou Yan, whose theory was the cyclical succession of the Five Virtues. The more you thought about it, the more familiar it seemed. It appeared to be the theoretical foundation of the Five Emperors Great Devil Divine Ability in a web novel!]
[At 186, you sealed the Five Elements totem divine beasts within your five organs and used their power to temper them. The improvement of your five organs strengthened the power of the Five Elements, increasing your strength fivefold!]
[At 196, you found the shikigami of Fusang's onmyoji fascinating. They brought to mind raising little ghosts, which in turn reminded you of inviting gods to possess the body. You found a wealth of material on the Spirit Striking Technique and conducted an in-depth study of the onmyoji's shikigami!]
[At 206, you made the solar totem, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, your shikigami and gained the ability to use True Solar Fire. Your True Solar Fire was extremely weak, however, and fell short of burning mountains and boiling seas!]
[At 216, inspired by Fusang's onmyoji, you began studying the historical changes of the major schools of ancient Huaxia. You discovered that the birth and division of every school had been accompanied by at least one entirely new academic dispute. All of these were sources of inspiration for improving your strength!]
[At 226, you thought of the Daoist Inner Alchemy Technique and the Dantian vortices that frequently appeared in web novels. You tried to create an inner pill in your Dantian!]
[At 236, you still had not created an inner pill. You pored over countless Daoist texts and noticed that an inner pill was the crystallization of the three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit united as one. You therefore tried keeping your mind focused on your Dantian, and the Dantian vortex gradually underwent a subtle change!]
[At 246, you finally condensed an inner pill. You discovered that although it was extremely small, the total amount of Qi and Blood it contained was ten times that of your entire body!]
[At 256, you continued studying all manner of schools, but sadly discovered that because your foundation was already so high, your improvements were becoming less and less noticeable. In scientific terms, this was called the marginal effect. When you only had one, an increase of one meant doubling it; when you reached a hundred, an increase of one was only one percent. Although you were somewhat displeased, you patiently continued improving!]
[At 296, you had basically mastered all the theories that were easy to grasp, and your strength had increased threefold. The more you studied the theories that were difficult to grasp, the more frustrated you became!]
[At 366, you had mastered the theories of the vast majority of schools. Fewer than one percent of their methods remained under study!]
[At 376, you felt that the remaining one percent were hard bones to gnaw. The difficulty of cracking them was terrifyingly high, while the eventual rewards were pitifully low, so you gave up on studying them!]
[At 396, you began organizing what you had learned, but the various conflicting ideas made it difficult to form a unified concept!]
[At 399, your followers gave you a mech a hundred meters tall. It looked like a Buddha, and you gazed at it thoughtfully!]
[At 406, you suddenly realized that humanity's greatest advantage lay not in the strength of its body, but in knowing how to make tools. Your body had nearly reached the limit of the Gang Force realm, and improving it further was as hard as ascending to heaven. You began considering the use of external aids!]
[At 416, you thought of the Evil Emperor Relic in a web novel. You imagined creating a relic that could contain an infinite amount of Qi and Blood, so you would never again need to worry about consumption!]
[At 426, you sadly discovered that because your Qi and Blood were too powerful, even the hardest substance on Earth could only withstand one tenth of it!]
[At 436, science went left and mysticism went right. Unable to find a way to make the Evil Emperor Relic through science, you thought of finding one through mysticism!]
[At 446, after countless analyses, you finally discovered that the totem Moon Rabbit, which represented the power of the Great Yin's moonlight, was the most promising potential breakthrough!]
[At 466, your research was progressing slowly when you suddenly thought of the story of ten suns hanging in the sky. You therefore began by studying how the Three-Legged Golden Crow transformed into a sun!]
[At 476, you successfully discovered how to transform the Three-Legged Golden Crow into a sun. But True Solar Fire was so scorching that it could burn Qi and Blood, making it utterly impossible to use as a container for storing it. You turned instead to studying how to transform the Moon Rabbit into a moon!]
[At 486, using the method of transforming the Three-Legged Golden Crow into a sun, you finally transformed the totem Moon Rabbit into a moon. Unfortunately, your research still had flaws, and there was a limit to how much Qi and Blood it could contain!]
[At 496, drawing on your successful experience of creating an inner pill by focusing your mind on your Dantian, you finally transformed the moon into a relic. You could use spiritual power to expand its capacity, and in theory, there was no end to how much Qi and Blood it could hold!]
[At 499, you suddenly looked back and realized that you had made a tremendous mistake in this life. The human body had the three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit, corresponding to body refinement, Qi refinement, and spirit refinement. You had never paid attention to spirit refinement. Perhaps that was why you had remained in the Gang Force realm and failed to Shatter the Void and See the Indestructible Spirit even at death. Your lifespan reached its limit, and with immense regret, you died peacefully of old age, free of illness and calamity!]
[Based on your life, please choose a Dao Fruit-]
[The insights gained from a lifetime of research] [Power at the limit of Gang Force] [Seven-Transformation Golden Silkworm Gu]
Mo Wenjian first ruled out the Seven-Transformation Golden Silkworm Gu.
Mo Wenjian's Qi and Blood had already undergone nine qualitative transformations.
The Seven-Transformation Golden Silkworm Gu could only bring about seven qualitative transformations of Qi and Blood, so it was of no help to Mo Wenjian.
Mo Wenjian's gaze lingered on the insights gained from a lifetime of research.
Those insights truly encompassed everything under the sun.
He had mastered ninety-nine percent of the cultivation systems, only skimming the surface of the remaining one percent of hard bones.
Not only could this make Mo Wenjian an unparalleled expert, it could also let him guide others into becoming unparalleled experts.
After hesitating for only a moment, however, Mo Wenjian ultimately chose power at the limit of Gang Force.
A person's heart could change. Now that he knew the key to Shattering the Void and Seeing the Indestructible Spirit lay in spirit refinement, his research would surely tend toward that field.
If he simulated again, Mo Wenjian would one hundred percent focus on researching spirit refinement, thereby finding a breakthrough to Shatter the Void and See the Indestructible Spirit.
The possibility of patiently spending three to five hundred years improving his strength in the Gang Force realm was vanishingly small.
When it came to power at the limit of Gang Force, miss this village and there would be no shop at the next.
After making his choice, Mo Wenjian immediately claimed his Dao Fruit.
Surging, billowing Qi and Blood welled up within Mo Wenjian's body.
Mo Wenjian's strength kept doubling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A moment later, an inner pill appeared within Mo Wenjian's body.
Next came the Five Emperors Great Devil Divine Ability, with a divine beast appearing in each of his five organs.
Within the golden wheel behind his head, the Three-Legged Golden Crow shikigami quietly appeared.
Then came all manner of subtle adjustments. Mo Wenjian's presence kept rising until it reached the limit of the Gang Force realm.
The belatedly arriving relic announced the end of this improvement.
Mo Wenjian felt power filling his body, as though he could easily crush a hundred of his former selves to death with a single finger.
Mo Wenjian could say for certain that this was not an illusion, but the truth.
The gap between one person and another was greater than the gap between a person and a dog.
The gap between one Gang Force practitioner and another was greater than the gap between Gang Force and Ming Jin.
Mo Wenjian casually squeezed, and a small Buddha statue immediately became completely deformed, as though it were soft clay.
Mo Wenjian unleashed True Solar Fire, and the small Buddha statue immediately melted into liquid bronze.
Having reached the limit in both body refinement and Qi refinement made him even stronger than Mo Wenjian had imagined.
Even if all the Gang Force national martial arts grandmasters under heaven gathered together, Mo Wenjian was confident he could instantly kill them all with one move.
