Chapter 175: Chi Qiu, the Star Master: Obedient Disciple, Your Question is a Bit Beyond the Syllabus
Chapter 175: Chi Qiu, the Star Master: Obedient Disciple, Your Question is a Bit Beyond the Syllabus (Seeking Subscription)
"Has the evaluation been completed?"
A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Each time he returned, he would immediately upload the subsequent stages of the new martial arts evolution path he had created to the Wisdom Goddess.
In addition to earning a large number of merit points as a reward and spreading the martial arts evolution path more effectively, he also wanted to leverage the enormous computational power of the Wisdom Goddess to assess the potential of the uploaded stages.
Evaluating the potential of an evolutionary path involves countless factors and is extremely difficult to calculate, so the Wisdom Goddess and the other two goddesses can only make a rough estimation.
But that was enough.
The evolutionary paths included in the Cosmic Human Alliance's database are vast and innumerable, and the final determination of the three goddesses, including the Wisdom Goddess, is still highly informative.
In simple terms, if the Wisdom Goddess determines that an evolutionary path has low potential, it may not necessarily be correct. But if she deems an evolutionary path to have high potential, then she is most certainly correct.
"Respected Level-6 Citizen Lin Yuan, according to the final evaluation, the sixth stage of the martial arts evolution path you uploaded is worth four hundred thousand merit points."
"Four hundred thousand merit points?"
Lin Yuan was quite pleased.
The last time he 'updated' the martial arts evolution path, he perfected and re-uploaded the second to fifth stages, earning a merit point reward of five hundred thousand.
This time, by merely uploading the sixth stage, it was already worth four hundred thousand merit points, which was quite a high valuation.
To put it into perspective, four hundred thousand merit points are equivalent to the value of defeating nearly half a group of eighth-tier aliens.
On the alien battlefield, the merit point reward for killing an eighth-tier alien powerhouse is usually just one million.
And is it easy to kill an eighth-tier alien? Defeating an eighth-tier alien is possible, but killing one is as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Eighth-tier aliens are the foundation of their respective races, and most of them have lifesaving trump cards. Even a powerful being like Chi Qiu, the Star Master, would find it challenging to kill an eighth-tier alien powerhouse on the alien battlefield.
Eighth-tier aliens aren't fools; if they realize they're outmatched, they will surely flee.
"It takes two million merit points to advance from a Level-6 Citizen to a Level-7 Citizen."
Lin Yuan glanced at the number of merit points required to advance to the next citizen level and shook his head.
Two million merit points were an astronomical sum. Aside from other evolvers, even Lin Yuan felt his scalp tingle at the thought.
It's likely that a typical seventh-tier evolver would have to camp on the alien battlefield for tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of years to accumulate such a substantial number of merit points.
The alien battlefield is extremely perilous, and human evolvers face life-threatening dangers while fighting the alien powerhouses.
Although sixth-tier and higher evolvers are eligible for resurrection, without potential, who would resurrect you? Most sixth- and seventh-tier evolvers who die are gone for good.
"Never mind."
Lin Yuan didn't have any immediate plans to advance to Level-7 Citizen status. He estimated that he would have to wait until he created the seventh stage of the martial arts evolution path before he could meet the requirements for advancement to Level-7 Citizen.
"Let's take a look at the latest evaluation of the Martial Arts Evolution System."
Lin Yuan began to browse through the information regarding the martial arts evolution path.
Every time the Wisdom Goddess re-evaluates an evolutionary path, she immediately updates Lin Yuan's records regarding that path.
As for other citizens or evolvers, they will have to wait until the Evolution Rankings are refreshed at midnight to see the changes in the martial arts evolution path after the 'update'.
"Probability of advancing to the seventh tier: sixty percent."
"Probability of advancing to an eighth-tier evolution path: twenty percent."
"Not bad."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
Before uploading the sixth stage, the probability of the martial arts evolution path advancing to the seventh tier was only thirty percent.
The probability of advancing to an eighth-tier evolution path was only ten percent.
Now, both probabilities had doubled.
The fact that the probability of advancing to an eighth-tier evolution path had reached twenty percent was particularly noteworthy. Whether or not one could create a new eighth-tier evolution path was the key criterion used by the Cosmic Human Civilization Alliance to determine if someone qualified as an Evolution Grand Master.
Now, with the martial arts evolution path, there was a twenty percent chance of advancing to an eighth-tier evolution path, indicating that its potential was extremely terrifying.
"A ninth-tier evolution path."
Lin Yuan's thoughts wandered as he considered that, up to this point, the martial arts evolution path had not shown any possibility of advancing to the ninth tier.
"Where does the Martial Arts Evolution Path rank now on the Chi Qiu Evolution Rankings?"
Lin Yuan continued to view the updated information on the martial arts evolution path and clicked on the rankings column.
"First place on the Canglan Evolution Rankings."
"Sixth place on the Chi Qiu Evolution Rankings?"
"Sixth place?"
Lin Yuan was slightly moved.
The last time he had perfected the martial arts evolution path, freeing it from its restriction to the Taiyin and Taiyang stages, its ranking had soared to twelfth place on the Chi Qiu Evolution Rankings.
Now, with the addition of the sixth stage, it had jumped directly to sixth place.
It must be understood that the top ten evolution paths on the Chi Qiu Evolution Rankings were all seventh-tier evolution paths with the potential to advance to the eighth tier.
And the top three evolution paths on the Chi Qiu Evolution Rankings were all eighth-tier evolution paths.
In the millions of years, or even tens of millions of years, of history in the Chi Qiu Star Domain, only three Evolution Grand Masters had been born.
And these three eighth-tier evolution paths were the creations of those three Evolution Grand Masters.
The number of Evolution Grand Masters was far fewer than the number of eighth-tier evolvers.
After learning the ranking of the martial arts evolution path, Lin Yuan glanced at the approximate number of evolvers currently following the martial arts evolution path.
"First stage: ninety-seven thousand, three hundred, and twenty-three people."
"Second stage: thirty-two thousand, six hundred people."
"Three-stage chapter: one hundred and thirty-six people."
"Four-stage chapter: zero."
"Not bad."
"In just over a year, the number of cultivators in the first and second stages has tripled."
"Even more impressively, over a hundred cultivators have begun training in the third stage."
Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
In the Middle-earth Shenzhou world, after hundreds of years of development and with his personal guidance, there were only a handful of martial artists.
However, in the main world, after just a few years, the number of martial arts cultivators had grown exponentially.
In terms of growth rate, the main world far surpassed the Middle-earth Shenzhou world.
Lin Yuan wasn't surprised by this outcome. After all, the external cultivation conditions in the main world were undoubtedly superior.
With the presence of advanced technology and high-level cultivators, the path of cultivation had become much simpler.
Additionally, Lin Yuan's perfection of the martial arts evolution path and the ranking of the Chi Qiu Evolution Rankings at twelfth place had also contributed significantly to the surge in the number of martial arts cultivators.
"It's still too little."
"We need to speed things up."
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, considering the idea of recording a video specifically to address questions about martial arts cultivation.
He had wanted to do this for a while but never found the time.
Now, with his interdimensional travel concluded, he could finally turn his attention to this task.
As the founder of the martial arts evolution path, Lin Yuan's understanding of martial arts was undoubtedly the best in the main world. A video explaining the intricacies of cultivation would be like a revelation to other martial arts cultivators.
In the virtual world of the Chi Qiu main star, within the central plaza region, countless cultivators had gathered. In the Human Alliance, most cultivators and high-level citizens led leisurely lives.
The strength of human civilization and its victories in external wars brought benefits to all humans.
"Twelfth place on the Chi Qiu Evolution Rankings! Just a fifth-tier evolution path has achieved this. What would happen if it were promoted to a sixth-tier evolution path?"
Ever since the martial arts evolution path appeared on the Chi Qiu Evolution Rankings, the central plaza region had been abuzz with discussions centered around it.
There was no escaping it.
Compared to other evolution paths that had remained stagnant for hundreds of years, the martial arts evolution path was outrageously exceptional; it was impossible to ignore.
"A sixth-tier evolution path? That doesn't sound so easy. Even for an evolution grandmaster, creating a sixth stage like the one in the martial arts evolution path would require careful contemplation, wouldn't it?"
A cultivator couldn't help but voice his thoughts.
The potential of the martial arts evolution path was off the charts, and the corresponding sixth stage would undoubtedly be exceptionally challenging to create.
The higher one went, the more difficult the path became.
For an evolution grandmaster, crafting a sixth stage for an evolution path was not an insurmountable task.
However, that assumption referred to ordinary fifth-tier evolution paths.
Could the current martial arts evolution path still be considered ordinary?
Crafting a sixth stage for the martial arts evolution path that maintained its high standards would likely be more difficult than creating a seventh stage for other evolution paths.
"That's not necessarily true."
Another cultivator spoke up.
He had witnessed the meteoric rise of the martial arts evolution path in the rankings, and he couldn't deny its potential.
Every time the martial arts evolution path was about to climb higher in the rankings, there would be naysayers claiming it was impossible.
But what happened in the end?
Those doubters were always proven wrong.
So now, many cultivators had learned their lesson and kept their opinions to themselves.
Better safe than sorry, they thought.
"However, it's true that creating a sixth stage isn't easy. The martial arts evolution path has set the bar too high from the start."
A small number of cultivators, after observing for a while, couldn't resist adding their two cents.
Just then, the time struck midnight.
The rankings on the Chi Qiu Evolution Rankings began to 'update'.
A hundred evolution paths flickered momentarily, their names blurring before quickly becoming clear again.
"What the hell!" exclaimed a cultivator, his emotions getting the better of him.
The other cultivators looked up, their expressions a mix of shock, awe, disbelief, and skepticism.
The martial arts evolution path, which had previously occupied twelfth place, had vanished.
In its place was the evolution path that had been ranked eleventh.
As for the martial arts evolution path, it had broken into the top ten, securing sixth place, to be precise.
"It broke into the top ten?"
"Sixth place?"
"That's too fast!"
"Did it update the sixth stage?"
Countless cultivators whispered amongst themselves.
Most cultivators had become somewhat desensitized to the martial arts evolution path's rapid advancements after witnessing its previous 'leaps' in the rankings.
However, there were still some newcomers among the cultivators, their faces reflecting their shock at witnessing such a significant change in the top ten rankings of the Chi Qiu Evolution Rankings.
"I have to see this for myself. I want to know what kind of qualitative changes the sixth stage that Grand Master Yuan has uploaded entails."
A cultivator immediately purchased the sixth stage of the martial arts evolution path without hesitation.
Before uploading the sixth stage, Lin Yuan had set the price at five billion.
However, in the eyes of many powerful cultivators, this amount was insignificant. Given the immense potential of the martial arts evolution path, spending five billion to purchase the sixth stage was well worth it.
Perhaps by studying this sixth stage, they could gain insights that would help them advance further in their own cultivation paths—something that no amount of currency could buy.
"The sixth stage not only involves a transformation of life, a significant enhancement of the physical body, and a boost to the primordial spirit and soul, but it also delves deeper into the exploration of the physical body, potentially giving rise to physical body divine abilities?"
"Bodily divine abilities? Can humans, like those exotic races, also possess such innate talents?"
"Indeed, deep within the human bloodline lies an abundance of information and capabilities."
"These inherent abilities are extremely rare and, in theory, would never manifest."
"However, the sixth chapter of the Martial Arts cultivation system utilizes a unique method to amplify the abilities hidden within one's bloodline."
"That's incredible."
"I recall several evolutionary scholars who specialized in researching the powers passed down through the depths of the human bloodline."
"Their conclusion was that only through bloodline concentration potions could these abilities be stimulated. However, such potions are not only risky but also highly valuable, making them inaccessible to most."
"But the sixth chapter of the Martial Arts..."
The evolvers discussed the matter animatedly.
Clearly, they found the concept of bodily divine abilities fascinating.
These abilities were derived from the depths of one's physical bloodline, and each person's ability was unique, making them highly unpredictable.
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to switch to the Martial Arts cultivation system, solely for the sake of this bodily divine ability."
A fifth-tier evolver stood up and announced his decision with determination.
As long as one hadn't reached the sixth tier, they could switch to another evolutionary path by paying a certain price.
Of course, the cost was substantial—it could very well be the accumulated wealth of a fourth or fifth-tier evolver over hundreds or even thousands of years.
Nevertheless, many evolvers chose to switch to the Martial Arts evolutionary path, confident that, given its immense potential, following it would not be a mistake.
Lin Yuan had only recently emerged from his seclusion. After a brief period of adjustment, he went to request the Red Spirit Liquid to restore his strength.
Although Lin Yuan still had doubts about the seventh tier, he decided to first restore himself to the sixth-tier limit and see what kind of bodily divine ability he would attain.
"Peak Master of the Thirteenth Peak."
"The Red Spirit Liquid will be delivered to you within an hour."
"Obedient disciple, you've been in seclusion for four months, so your sixth-tier realm should be stable by now. Come to me, and I may be able to answer any questions you encountered during your cultivation."
Just then, Chi Qiu, the Star Master, sent a message to Lin Yuan.
During his interdimensional travels, Lin Yuan had remained in the palace at the heart of the Thirteenth Peak, publicly announcing that he was in seclusion. This wasn't a secret, so Chi Qiu, the Star Master, was naturally aware of it.
Now that Lin Yuan had emerged from seclusion and even spent some time chatting with his senior martial brothers, Chi Qiu, the Star Master, was also informed.
"Yes."
Lin Yuan immediately replied.
He held Chi Qiu, the Star Master, in high regard, not only because of his strength but also because the Star Master had always treated him well.
Soon, Lin Yuan arrived at the scarlet palace where Chi Qiu, the Star Master, resided.
The Star Master sat on the main seat, his gaze upon Lin Yuan filled with benevolence.
Lin Yuan had just arrived at Chi Qiu's main star and hadn't done anything else besides secluding himself for half a year.
This dedication to cultivation pleased Chi Qiu, the Star Master.
"Master."
Lin Yuan bowed slightly towards Chi Qiu, the Star Master.
"Rise, rise."
Chi Qiu, the Star Master, quickly urged.
"Have you encountered any problems with your cultivation?" Chi Qiu asked eagerly.
"Problems with cultivation..." Lin Yuan's heart stirred.
He had indeed reached a bottleneck in his understanding of spatial rules. This was something he could seek guidance on from Chi Qiu, the Star Master.
Chi Qiu, the Star Master's true form, was the Star Sea Divine Dragon, capable of devouring all things and a favorite of the spatial rules of the universe.
Each Star Sea Divine Dragon had an innate talent for comprehending spatial rules, achieving an extremely high level of insight.
Chi Qiu, the Star Master, must have a profound understanding of spatial rules.
"Master, I do have a cultivation problem."
"Good."
"Disciple will explain."
Upon hearing this, Chi Qiu, the Star Master, was delighted.
Lin Yuan's talent was exceptional; from the moment he took Lin Yuan as his disciple, Chi Qiu had never had a chance to give him any serious guidance.
Now, the opportunity had finally presented itself.
"It's like this..."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, "Recently, I've been contemplating the 965 models of spatial rules."
Lin Yuan raised his right hand, and with a slight movement of his mind, strands of spatial force gathered at his fingertips, forming various model patterns—a Rubik's cube, a two-dimensional plane, a bizarre black hole, and an infinitely thin sheet of paper.
The strands of spatial force wove together in front of Lin Yuan, eventually forming the 876th model before coming to a halt.
"Master, I'm still confused about the 876th model of the spatial rules."
Lin Yuan looked towards Chi Qiu, the Star Master, seated on the high throne, and asked.
"The 965 models of spatial rules?"
Chi Qiu, the Star Master, twitched his lips.
Wasn't this something that seventh-tier evolvers started to contemplate? How had Lin Yuan, who had just entered the sixth tier, already begun to comprehend them? Moreover, he had grasped most of them, which was far beyond the reach of many seventh-tier evolvers.
Chi Qiu, the Star Master, carefully observed the strands of spatial force weaving in front of Lin Yuan, then looked at Lin Yuan, and back at the spatial force, his gaze shifting between the two.
"Obedient disciple, your confusion about this model..."
Chi Qiu, the Star Master, hesitated, unsure of how to continue.
