Chapter 259: Evil Deity Battle Armor
Chapter 259: Evil Deity Battle Armor
"Will Secret Pattern Diagram?"
Inside the Blue Sea Bay Villa.
Fang Xing carefully studied the scroll given to him by Nie Ying.
There was no explanation on it, only three paintings.
The first painting resembled a starry sky formed by countless three-dimensional light points, giving a chaotic feeling of stars scattered across the sky.
The second painting was more abstract, with numerous distorted lines that vaguely formed a certain pattern.
The third painting was even more peculiar; Fang Xing clearly remembered looking at it, but he couldn't recall its appearance.
"Will Secret Pattern, a special technique that can only be practiced by Martial Daoists who have given birth to the Martial Dao Will... The key lies in the Martial Dao Will! By condensing the Will Secret Pattern with the Martial Dao Will... Since will is originally formless, how can it be condensed into a pattern?"
Fang Xing rubbed his glabella.
After condensing the Great Sun Relic, if one were to discuss the strength of the Martial Dao Will in the Diamond Realm, Fang Xing would undoubtedly be among the top ranks.
Therefore, with most Diamond Realm cultivators being able to enter the Will Secret Pattern, he could definitely enter it with a little effort! As long as he enters, he can improve his attribute panel!
After observing the Will Secret Pattern Diagram, which had a confidentiality level, Fang Xing entered the virtual network to search for information related to the Will Secret Pattern.
He found very little information, likely due to some regulations.
There were only a few recruitment advertisements for 'Secret Pattern Engravers,' offering exceptionally generous treatment.
"The Battle Armor of Martial Daoists is ultimately different from true Battle Armor. To manipulate the Ruyi, it definitely requires modifications... By engraving the same Will Secret Pattern on the Battle Armor and then communicate and control it through the Will Secret Pattern of the Martial Daoist... The higher the achievement in the Will Secret Pattern, the more harmonious the Battle Armor becomes, and the higher the combat power that can be exerted!"
Combining this with what Nie Ying had previously said, Fang Xing now had a general understanding of the Will Secret Pattern and the Battle Armor of Martial Daoists.
"But still, I can't afford it."
He complained and then contacted Xu Sanyang.
Calculating the days, this guy should be about to retire from the military and start campaigning for the Senate.
To build Battle Armor, having Star Essence alone was not enough; he also needed connections.
Although Fang Xing didn't plan to go all out, it was appropriate to inquire a little, fitting his character.
Not long after, the holographic image connected.
Inside a reception room.
The windows were bright, the walls were metallic, and the room had a futuristic style.
In the center of the room was a purple sandalwood table, and Xu Sanyang was holding a purple clay teapot, brewing tea.
"You're here, sit down!"
He looked at Fang Xing and nodded, "I heard you broke through the Diamond Realm?"
"Yeah, I plan to continue with my doctorate."
Fang Xing nodded.
Pursuing a doctorate also exempted one from military service, and he didn't want to waste fifteen years as a graduate student.
For Fang Xing, this was a waste of time.
Moreover, even with a doctorate, with Xu Sanyang's support, perhaps he could receive the same treatment as Song Jin Gang with a little manipulation.
'Wait, I might even become a Martial Saint before completing my doctorate!'
'Martial Saints are the true elite of the Federation, possessing numerous privileges... As long as it's not a catastrophic event like the descent of an Evil Deity's offspring or the main body, there's no need to take action...'
'Of course, Xu Sanyang, who voluntarily joined the military, is an exception...'
Fang Xing sat down and picked up a cup of tea, "Huh? Why is this soda?"
"Oh, I just brewed it for fun; the one I actually bought is orange-flavored soda..."
Xu Sanyang held the purple clay teapot and took a sip directly from it.
This sensory experience, purchased in the virtual space, was a million times cheaper than in reality and was a favorite among the poor.
In the virtual network, they could enjoy all the luxuries of the Federation's top elite!
"You're planning to pursue a doctorate, so you're not going to help me with my Senate campaign."
Xu Sanyang crossed his legs, looking a bit disappointed.
"With the Xu family's support, your Senate position is secure, and I don't need to build my credentials... Because after completing my doctorate, I'll definitely become a Martial Saint!"
Fang Xing said confidently.
"I knew you'd keep secrets, kid..."
Xu Sanyang wasn't surprised, "Then why are you here? To help with a doctoral research project?"
"That's one reason, and another is to ask about Battle Armor..."
Fang Xing spoke seriously.
"Battle Armor... It's incredibly expensive, and it's not just about money; there are also many regulated resources..."
Xu Sanyang shook his head, "During the years I was in the Qing Shan Psychiatric Hospital, thanks to my younger sister's support, my original team didn't disband... My sister is great, but she's a bit eccentric. By the way, during the previous Galactic Martial Arts Tournament, she was slapped by some jerk..."
Fang Xing maintained his composure, listening intently.
"The Battle Armor of Martial Daoists is different from that of Battle Armor Engineers, and the key lies in the Will Secret Pattern... You're also from Blue Planet University, so you should have seen the 'Will Secret Pattern Diagram,' right? If you can't cultivate the Will Secret Pattern to the second volume, the 'Beast Pattern,' even if you break through to Martial Saint and possess top-tier Battle Armor, it will be difficult to exert nine-realm combat power!"
Xu Sanyang revealed some information.
"The Will Secret Pattern, is the second volume about beasts? I can't tell..." Fang Xing replied honestly.
"Of course, you're still far from it. Even the first 'Star Chart' requires careful comprehension... As for the second chart, it seems to be a twisted line. When your Will Secret Pattern is condensed, you might be able to discern a divine beast within those lines. If you can cultivate the second chart, the 'Beast Pattern,' then you'll have succeeded. As for the third chart... I haven't even begun to understand it yet." Xu Sanyang rubbed his hair, "I'm afraid... I'll need to reach the Martial God realm before I can comprehend a thing or two."
'So, Xu Sanyang is currently at the eighth realm of the Martial Dao, the Martial Saint, but when he dons the battle armor, he possesses the combat power of the ninth realm. Could it be that he's on par with a Martial God without his armor?!'
Fang Xing now had a general understanding, "I understand. I'll definitely focus on researching the 'Will Secret Pattern'..."
"Researching won't be of much help. It's more about 'enlightenment'..." Xu Sanyang shook his head, "Speaking of battle armor, assembling a team for construction and maintenance is challenging. Many talents can't be hired even with Star Essences... Each one requires high salaries and benefits... Plus, there's the construction of factories and, most importantly, the raw materials for the armor. If you're aiming for a Martial Saint-level battle armor, at the very least, you'll need 'Locke Metal' and the core power source should be an 'Eternal Crystal'... Overall, even the most basic version would require a budget of at least 100 billion Star Essences, and many special materials are hard to come by... If you pursue performance, the cost is limitless..."
"Sorry for the interruption..."
Fang Xing, who initially just wanted to understand the situation, now completely gave up on the idea.
With such production costs and channel requirements, unless he sold himself...
No, even selling himself might not find a faction willing to take him in.
Unless, he was already a Martial Saint!
"Relax, even some Martial Saints in the Federation don't have battle armor... If you want to create a custom battle armor, don't be too anxious. You can start with a conceptual project... Study it gradually, and when you reach the Martial Saint realm, I'll introduce you to my family... If you're willing to marry into my family, they might sponsor you."
Xu Sanyang smiled, "How about becoming my brother-in-law? My sister is quite exceptional..."
"Thank you, I'll consider it."
Fang Xing remained expressionless.
After all, Xu Sanyang was a bit eccentric, and who knows if he was joking or not.
"Isn't there a cheaper way?"
He thought for a moment, still not giving up.
Currently, his cultivation clone should have no major issues breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.
But beyond that, to the Divine Transformation realm and beyond, there were many challenges.
Even the Great Peace Cultivation Realm might not be able to meet his resource demands, and he would need to venture into the more dangerous Vast Ocean Cultivation Realm.
If he could break through to the Martial Saint realm and obtain a custom battle armor, he would possess the power of a Martial God!
In the cultivation world, this would be equivalent to the strength of a Divine Transformation old monster!
With the status of a Divine Transformation cultivator, gathering Nascent Soul pills to enhance his cultivation power, or even secret techniques to break through to the Divine Transformation realm, and the cultivation methods after reaching that realm, would all become much simpler.
This way, his safety would also be better guaranteed.
Unfortunately, this plan encountered a significant obstacle from the very beginning.
'Don't let the cultivation clone reach the Divine Transformation realm before the battle armor's frame is even constructed...'
'No, it's not right. It's not good if I reach the Martial God realm, but the Martial Saint battle armor isn't ready yet. However, I've heard that Martial Saint battle armors often have design reserves, awaiting future upgrades upon promotion to the Martial God realm, similarly upgrading to a Martial God battle armor...'
"There is a cheaper method, indeed!"
Xu Sanyang suddenly smiled, "The battle armors we discussed earlier are all from the orthodox path... But there's also an unorthodox path. Of course, it's less popular, and it comes with risks..."
"Oh? Like what?"
Fang Xing's eyebrows raised.
"For example, biological battle armor..."
Xu Sanyang revealed a hint of an eerie smile, "Its true name should be 'Evil Deity Battle Armor'. As the name suggests, it's primarily crafted from the bodies of Evil Deities, using their offspring or even parts of extra-dimensional Evil Deities... They possess high regenerative abilities, which can replace most of the core power and armor materials. Of course, a large amount of suppressant is needed... And it's highly polluting. Most Martial Saints might not be able to withstand it... The best in this aspect is from the 'Nine Swords Academy'. The 'Heavenly Eagle' battle armor of the Sword Saint, Jian Qiu, is made from an extra-dimensional Evil Deity. It's affordable, easy to maintain, but besides her, no other Martial God can control it... If it's an ordinary Martial Saint, they might get fused with the armor while piloting it, turning into a new Evil Deity..."
Xu Sanyang continued with a hint of regret, "Actually, the Nine Swords Academy originally had another project, which was to create a Martial God-level battle armor using parts of the body from the Moon Goddess. Unfortunately, just as the research began, the Moon Goddess incident occurred... The project had to be scrapped and redone. The upside is that they have a complete corpse of the Moon Goddess to work with..."
"Generally, a Martial Saint-level Evil Deity battle armor only needs some of the Evil Deity offspring's body materials..."
Fang Xing's eyes flickered slightly.
The 'Sword Saint' profession of the Nine Swords Academy naturally had no fear of Evil Deity pollution, so choosing the Evil Deity battle armor was understandable.
In his case, it didn't seem too bad either...
