Chapter 1066: Seeking the Right Path
Chapter 1066: Seeking the Right Path
Chen Chuan glanced at the location of the Yuanren Company, whose headquarters was located on one of the five continents of the Federation, Titran-Haemar.
This continent was situated in the northeastern part of the Federation's central region. Geographically, it could be classified as part of the Federation's East Coast, but the Yuanren Company had long supported the West Coast Party and seemed to have deep ties with the East Coast Party as well.
The Yuanren Company possessed formidable military might, which was one of the foundations of its existence. Firstly, they maintained a massive security force that was no less powerful than the Federation's main army corps.
Titran-Haemar, their home continent, was once the homeland of the First People, where the sacred mountain stood, and it had always been a population center. With over a century of development by the Gao family, the continent now housed nearly one-sixth of the Federation's native population, in addition to a large number of immigrants from various nations.
The company had established subsidiaries in countries worldwide, controlling vast resources and wealth. Moreover, with their world-leading biotechnology, they provided technical support and services to the entire globe, and their produced armored puppet troops were even the backbone of many regional and national armed forces.
Furthermore, due to their long-term donations, they maintained good relationships with national martial arts academies, including the Da Shun Wu Yi Academy.
The power they could mobilize was immense, almost beyond imagination.
Chen Chuan was well aware that if it came to a direct confrontation, his current strength wasn't sufficient. Being able to stand as a separate force within the Federation meant that, aside from conventional military might, the Yuanren Company must also possess formidable high-level power, and he wouldn't be surprised if they even had Fourth Limit-level martial artists.
However, according to his original plan, to understand the situation and resolve the issue, he didn't necessarily need to face the full might of the Yuanren Company. But without a certain level of military strength, even this would be impossible.
His idea was to gather the resources he needed within the Federation as much as possible. If he could push his strength to the next level and enter the Dongxuan Guan Realm, his chances of success would undoubtedly increase.
Although he now had the Jade Bone Paste given to him by the Master, it was best to gather all three resources together for optimal cultivation. Even if he couldn't obtain all three at once, acquiring a small amount of the remaining two resources would suffice for him to begin cultivation.
Among the resources provided by the visit team, the government was only responsible for the cultivation resources of ordinary martial artists. As for the martial artists on the team, the Martial Arts Council had provided some cultivation subsidies.
Even though he was a Changsheng Guan martial artist, the resources provided were only enough for a typical martial artist's half-year supply, and the quality was very average.
For Chen Chuan, this was like a drop in the bucket, and due to the quality issue, it wouldn't provide much benefit, or perhaps have any significant effect. It might even be better not to use them.
Fortunately, on their journey, they encountered an attack from a hostile force, which Chen Chuan eliminated. Normally, such an incident would be a considerable drain on resources, even for a Changsheng Guan martial artist. Moreover, the complex situation the visit team was likely to encounter might exceed previous estimates.
This gave Xie Tuanzhang a reason to send a batch of better-quality cultivation resources, which Chen Chuan had already been informed about. The quality of these resources would be high, and they would be delivered as quickly as possible, estimated to arrive within ten days.
In this matter, Chen Chuan was indebted to Xie Tuanzhang, as the high-level resources required by martial artists were strictly controlled, and each faction likely had interests at stake. Just looking at the internal situation of the Pure Faction made it clear that obtaining a portion of these resources would be extremely challenging.
The visit team's mission involved matters of national importance, and with Xie Tuanzhang's insistence, this additional supply was made possible.
As for the gratitude expressed by the two federal government officials, there had been no further news. However, since they had made the offer, there must be something of value, but as Da Shun and the Federation were not allies but rather rivals, it was unlikely they would provide something urgently needed. The final offering would likely be something of some importance but not convertible into combat power, so there was no point in expecting too much.
Another point to note was that Chen Chuan needed to achieve a breakthrough in both his spiritual and physical aspects, so he would also require cultivation resources for his spiritual cultivation, no less than what his physical body needed.
Although this path was much more challenging than breaking through in a single aspect, it was a necessity for Chen Chuan. Fortunately, the difficulty in finding the required resources might not necessarily increase.
Before his departure, Xue Lao had pointed out two directions for him. One was to search for the sacred land or Holy Valley of the First People. If he could find it, according to the First People's sacrificial customs, he should be able to obtain most of the resources he needed.
From the map, the Tianji Sect was located in the southern part of the Federation, on the continent of Beynder-Weisuo, one of the five major continents. Almost the entire population of this continent was devoted to the Tianji Sect. If they could indeed find the "Yuanfa" here, then this resource would not be a problem for the Tianji Sect.
He pondered for a moment. He knew he had to go there himself, but he might have to stay here for a while. The visit team needed to sort out and coordinate the interests of Daxun here, which would take at least a month.
However, this didn't mean he had to waste time doing nothing during this period.
In fact, from the moment he left his homeland until now, he had never stopped his cultivation.
Although he lacked sufficient resources, the "Gangyao" contained some cultivation methods left by ancient martial artists for the Lengji period, ensuring that martial artists could still progress even without resources.
According to the martial artists who compiled the Gangyao, this method was best for maintaining one's cultivation without falling behind, and one shouldn't expect significant improvements.
However, as he practiced, he surprisingly felt his strength gradually increasing at a noticeable pace.
Upon self-reflection, he believed that this might be because he had achieved the Changsheng Guan not long ago. Just like when he broke through the fourth limit, the divergent organizations within his body continued to grow and propel his progress. Using this cultivation method would undoubtedly accelerate this process.
He estimated that this momentum would slow down after two to three months at most, so it was best to obtain sufficient resources before this stage ended.
After making up his mind, he stood up from his seat, grabbed his suitcase, and took out the jade tablet given to him by Master Xue, placing it on the table in front of him. Then, his forehead flickered slightly, and his spirit probed into the tablet.
As he read, a previously unseen piece of content caught his attention.
After achieving the Changsheng Guan, cultivators would establish a connection with the opposite world, gaining an endless supply of energy. This step was also the key to reaching the next level.
However, a problem arose at this point.
This person's argument sparked a heated debate. Judging by the spiritual remnants attached, many of the original compilers were likely drawn into this discussion. In the end, most people agreed with this viewpoint, primarily because this step didn't deviate from the principle of "Guarding the True Form and Gathering the Spiritual Aspect" within the Xuanjing realm.
With a problem identified, it had to be solved. Considering the situation, these people gathered to brainstorm and find a breakthrough solution.
Perhaps because this step of the cultivation method was purely theoretical, some seemingly feasible methods turned out to be impractical and unrealistic. These ideas contradicted their initial intentions, so they were all rejected. As a result, these cultivators were stuck at this step for a long time without progress.
He suggested that if they couldn't solve the problem from within the cultivator's perspective, they should try to solve it from the outside.
Just as Chen Chuan was about to continue reading, the information above became blurry and indistinct.
He understood that his spiritual level might not be sufficient to observe all the content, but he had clearly touched upon it. This wasn't a problem; given the situation, even if he did nothing, he would be able to see everything within a day or two.
So, he put the items away and placed them back in his suitcase. At that moment, Gao Ming's voice came from the Jieping, "Master Chen, the check-in procedures are complete."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Good, I'm coming." He picked up his suitcase, took up the Xue Jun Dao, and stepped out of the cabin. He glanced at the unfamiliar city before him and descended from the anchorage tower amidst the guards' salutes.
