Chapter 1046: Eternal Life and Firm Destiny
Chapter 1046: Eternal Life and Firm Destiny
Chen Chuan contemplated the secrets of this secret transmission, finding it intriguing and potentially very useful in combat.
Generally, if a fighter's altered organization is damaged, it can quickly regenerate, but no matter how fast it recovers, there is still a process involved. This process presents an opportunity to gain the upper hand.
Therefore, mastering this secret transmission, even without profound cultivation, can bring significant benefits when facing enemies.
If one delves deeper into its mastery, a single strike can cause immense damage to the opponent's altered organization. When combined with the Great Brightness Style and the Great Emptiness Style, the displayed power becomes truly formidable.
In fact, once a fighter has mastered this, they can develop their own unique applications based on their level of mastery. It is a martial secret transmission that can form the foundation for an entire combat system.
At this thought, numerous complementary techniques came to mind. He had been pondering ways to achieve victory in a single strike, and the addition of this secret transmission would undoubtedly be a beneficial supplement.
Intrigued, he continued reading to learn the specific cultivation methods. While there were many techniques described, the focus was on the coordination of spirit and breathing.
Each cultivation and exercise required adjusting to a unique breathing rhythm, using spiritual constraints and stimulation of the altered organization.
In his opinion, many aspects seemed manageable due to his foundation in both styles. After some consideration, he believed he could achieve initial mastery within ten days to half a month, and that too without rushing.
With this in mind, he decided to take his time and study the manual in detail.
As his thoughts turned to this, the corresponding information appeared on the pages through spiritual sensing.
Yuan Qi had likely reached this realm, as his body was practically impervious to external disasters and invulnerable to blades. Even if his body were to be dismembered into multiple pieces, each severed limb would retain its vitality. Once rejoined, even after several decades, it could immediately restore itself to wholeness.
The manual mentioned earlier that a fighter's self-existence was the foundation of everything. Upon entering the Inner Mysticism Observation realm, their presence in the world would reach an unprecedented level, and neither their physical body nor self-awareness would be easily influenced or distorted.
However, depending on the cultivator's chosen path, there would be a significant divergence. Those cultivating the Deity Aspect would naturally focus on the spirit, while those cultivating the Strange Aspect would emphasize the body. Each cultivator only needed to concentrate on their chosen aspect, while the others were not entirely neglected but didn't require as much effort.
But for cultivators of the Human Aspect, both body and spirit had to be cultivated simultaneously. Yuan Qi, as described in the manual, also followed this path. Despite his ability to coalesce his body, his spirit was gradually eroded, leaving him as an empty shell with little strength.
This was inevitable, as the Human Aspect emphasized the simultaneous advancement of body and spirit. Cultivators on this path had a wide range of upper and lower limits. While blind cultivation might lead to a certain level, reaching the pinnacle required a combination of talent and innate gifts.
After reading through the main cultivation process, key points, and challenges, Chen Chuan then examined the required resources. Once he understood these, he had a general idea of how to proceed with his cultivation.
Cultivating to this realm was incredibly challenging, not only due to potential difficulties in cultivation but also because of the need for very specific cultivation resources.
His foundation was much deeper than that of ordinary fighters, so the challenges and resources required would likely be even greater.
However, no matter the difficulties, he had to find ways to overcome them if he wanted to continue progressing.
After some thought, he decided to seek help from the Wan Song Agency for cultivation methods and resources. He also awaited a response from Zuan Xiansheng regarding the support the headquarters could provide, after which he would search for the remaining resources.
Having made his plans, he temporarily put aside further thoughts and put away the manual and other items. He made himself a hot drink and picked up a leisure book to read.
The next day, the Fighters Council sent a message, informing him that the team responsible for the Constraint Agreement had arrived and requesting his presence at the Jiao Peak Tower in Weiguang District.
He drove to the tower and took the elevator directly to the 50th floor. Through the transparent elevator enclosure, he could see office workers hurrying on each floor.
He hadn't paid much attention to this tower before, but after becoming the Chief of Security, he learned that it was the exclusive office location for the Fighters Council in Jibei District.
The Council wielded significant influence over the fighters, who were almost inseparable from their management. However, they maintained a low profile in their daily operations, and one might hardly notice their presence unless in direct contact. Lei Bureau Director had once hinted that even experts from the Esoteric Teachings Management Bureau might not surpass the level of the Council's Ritual Masters.
The elevator stopped at the fiftieth floor and opened its doors. Chen Chuan stepped out, and the guards standing at attention on either side immediately saluted. A female guide in high heels and a professional suit was already waiting for him. She bowed slightly and gestured for him to follow, leading him into the hall ahead.
Chen Chuan scanned the area and saw more than ten people standing around, with the white-haired Miao standing in the center.
He was certain that everyone present was a familiar face from their previous encounter, including those wearing masks. Even without intentionally looking at their true appearances, he could identify them by their auras and physiques.
A subtle feeling arose within these individuals as well, sensing that he had recognized them.
Miao observed Chen Chuan, and in the two years since their last meeting, the man remained the same, but his status and identity had drastically changed.
Miao's attitude towards Chen Chuan became more respectful. He approached, bowed slightly, and said, "Director Chen, greetings. I believe you are already aware of the specific information. We won't waste your time. Can we proceed with the ceremony now?"
"We can do it now," Chen Chuan replied.
Miao signaled to two people wearing black robes and masks, each holding one end of a scroll. They carried the scroll to Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan glanced at it; both individuals were a head and a half shorter than him, so the scroll was positioned just in front of him. He reached out and grabbed it, feeling its weight significantly heavier than the last time he had touched it, explaining why it required two people to carry.
This indicated that the esoteric ritual materials used were not ordinary.
Holding the scroll, he walked to the side and placed it on a long metal table inside the room. He slowly unfurled it, and only when it covered almost the entire ten-meter-long table did he reach the end. Apart from the agreement clauses, intricate secret ritual patterns adorned the scroll.
He skimmed through the agreement's table of contents and found it to be similar to what he had seen before, but the scope of the restrictions was broader.
Seeing no significant issues, he picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in ink, and signed his name.
He signed his name without a single mistake!
However, as he lifted the brush, he realized that the constraints binding him had weakened considerably at that moment, and he seemed to have undergone some changes.
He paused to sense the transformation, his heart stirring slightly. This was...
He discovered that his resistance to the world's infiltration had increased, and he could clearly discern that it was a permanent enhancement.
He wondered if this was part of the benefits. After some thought, he felt it wasn't. This benefit seemed to slightly compensate for his weaknesses, but as his spirit and body had already reached a certain limit, further improvement was unlikely. So, the enhancement manifested in this aspect.
Although he was better at resisting infiltration than others, it wasn't entirely foolproof. This time, however, there was a slight improvement.
Based on the entire ceremony, the rewards increased as it progressed, leaving him anticipating the subsequent gains.
He put down the brush and stepped back a few paces. Miao came over to inspect the scroll, ensuring everything was in order before having it rolled up and carried away. Turning to Chen Chuan, Miao politely said, "Director Chen, the Martial Artist Council has evaluated your achievements over the past two years and believes that even a two-level agreement upgrade is warranted. However, the agreement stipulates a minimum of two years between upgrades. Therefore, no matter how great your contributions are, you cannot bypass this time restriction. This was the rule established initially, and we hope you can understand.
"However, we won't negate your achievements. During the next agreement signing, we will consider them."
Chen Chuan was well aware of this rule, clearly stated in the agreement. No matter how significant one's contributions were, a single leap in agreement level was not possible, except in rare exceptions granted by the Supreme Advisory Council.
But those were exceptional circumstances.
From Miao's words, it seemed that even if Chen Chuan did nothing, he could sign for a one-level security agreement upgrade in two years.
"Thank you, sir," Chen Chuan said.
"You're welcome, Director Chen. Is there anything else?" Miao asked.
Chen Chuan shook his head, indicating he had no further questions. He shook hands with Miao and departed, leaving the building. Once outside, he gazed at the blue sky and white clouds.
Earlier, he had received a message from the Government Hall that the capital might offer him a new position, but the process was slow and might not be finalized until September or October. This timing aligned perfectly with his upcoming vacation.
