Chapter 391: The Only Origin, the Limit of Secret Martial Arts
Chapter 391: The Only Origin, the Limit of Secret Martial Arts
"Human Sovereign Law, Will of Heaven Saber, World's Child."
Qin Muye narrowed his eyes, feeling that these terms seemed to form a single thread.
"It can't be that they are connected from top to bottom, right?" Qin Muye couldn't help but smile, finding it a bit peculiar.
"What has Ji Shan been up to recently?"
Thinking of this, Qin Muye couldn't help but recall Ji Shan, who had been continuously refining his Dao-Merging Art, hoping to achieve a leap in his cultivation.
Of course, this leap wasn't without effort; it was built upon a vast array of resources and knowledge.
Ji Shan's current path was somewhat similar to Qin Muye's, but his logical thinking was more scientific, while his cultivation methods were more intuitive, often leading to sudden insights and the discovery of various techniques.
For example, he could derive strange and unique skills from Qin Muye's indescribable aura, and even gain experience in Dao-Merging from Qin Muye, likely due to the Hell Authority.
This method was only applicable to Ji Shan and the goblins. If someone else were to observe Qin Muye, they would likely go insane rather than gain insights.
Qin Muye's indescribable aura was itself a taboo and a chaotic force, containing various rules and mysteries that could not be expressed in words or writing.
Of course, this was only if Qin Muye didn't conceal it; otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't be able to see it.
Unfortunately, this situation was only being utilized by Ji Shan. The goblins were intelligent, but their strength came from modifications, and they learned specialized knowledge, which didn't align well with Qin Muye's indescribable aura.
It was like asking a farmer to learn how to do beauty treatments; it simply didn't match.
Moreover, the goblins' innate talents couldn't compare to Ji Shan, who was a child of destiny. It would be more efficient for them to ask Qin Muye directly rather than try to gain insights through observation.
"Maybe I should let Ji Shan out? He might be able to gather all the secret martial arts and secret spirits within a few days."
Qin Muye had a lot of trust in Ji Shan's luck, though he didn't specify the exact level, it was undoubtedly very high.
However, after some thought, he decided not to let Ji Shan out. While he needed these things, Ji Shan's Dao-Merging Art was already on the right track, and sending him out for this task would be a waste of his talent.
The goblins would suffice, and if that didn't work, Qin Muye could handle it himself.
"For now, I'll put the World's Child thread on hold and have the research lab focus on cultivating martial will and secret spirits. The previous Star Eagle used a 5th-stage, and I suspect it might not have been fully developed. This time, we'll use a 6th-stage."
"Once we've drained the Star Eagle, we'll send it on its way; it's no longer useful."
"It seems I'll need the help of the Dukes Federation for this."
As an outsider, his own forces were naturally less convenient compared to the Dukes Federation. He could provide weapons to the Dukes Federation through the Umbrella Corporation, thereby gaining covert control and influence over the federation. This way, he would get the resources, and the federation would do the work without him having to pay.
Although he had a large number of goblins under his command, they all had their own tasks. Even the managers and salespeople of the Umbrella Corporation were squeezed out. Qin Muye's Endless Abyss was now extremely vast, requiring a large population to sustain its operations.
Currently, a transformation was underway. For example, the former labor skeleton soldiers had been replaced by Terminator skeleton soldiers.
These Terminator skeleton soldiers were not the 7th or 8th-stage Terminators from the original Skynet, but only 5th-stage. They were modified by Qin Muye's Dawn Engineers, Necromancers, and Soul Masters. After all, they were just laborers; they needed to work, not fight.
They were still skeleton soldiers at their core, but they were enhanced with Terminator liquid metal, making them stronger and more durable.
Now, one Terminator skeleton soldier could do the work of a hundred former skeleton soldiers, and their service life had increased significantly, with minimal cost increase. This was progress.
Unfortunately, due to their skeleton soldier core, they still couldn't be recruited directly and had to be synthesized artificially.
After all, skeleton soldiers were summoned through soul-summoning techniques, which had no cost. If they were recruited through a barracks, the cost would be much higher.
However, the assembly line for Terminator skeleton soldiers was already in place, and the only significant cost was in this production phase. Given the benefits, this cost was negligible.
Terminator skeleton soldiers not only saved on labor costs but also on a significant amount of time.
This time, the various biological weapons and military equipment provided to the Dukes Federation were all manufactured by Terminator skeleton soldiers, with the goblins only needing to conduct spot checks. The quality was uniformly consistent, as if they were all produced from the same template, which was indeed the case.
The Terminator skeleton soldiers naturally have corresponding intelligent systems installed, allowing for unified management.
"Under normal circumstances, I should start researching the permanent traits of my permanent territory. However, given the current situation, I need to put that on hold and delve deeper into the Human Sovereign Law and the Will of Heaven Saber techniques. I'll use them later to capture the World's Child."
Originally, he had planned to improve the temporary traits of his territory brought by the divine artifact equipment, but now, he would delay that.
He felt that the World's Child was more important. If he could obtain detailed data, it would help him devour this world, thereby completing the destruction task required for his territory's advancement.
Furthermore, he was trying to determine if this method could expand his territory. Otherwise, even with the divine artifact's enhancement, there would still be a limit. If the technology to devour worlds is successfully developed, his Endless Abyss would truly be endless, growing with each world he devours, representing the liberation of potential.
Perhaps one day, his Endless Abyss could truly become an endless world.
However, this still required his efforts.
He also knew that converting divine artifacts into permanent territory traits was not an easy task. Temporary enhancements were just that—temporary—while permanent traits were integrated into the territory, a significant difference in difficulty.
As for the Seven Chapters Secret Script trait of his territory, it was fused with the Netherworld of the Tidal World. Otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared, equivalent to using a small part of a world.
Divine artifacts were indeed wondrous, but Qin Muye felt that no matter how wondrous they were, they couldn't match a whole world.
"Collecting things can't be rushed. There's no point in rushing now. I'll let the Dukes Federation help me find them first, and I can handle them later."
With such a powerful tool at his disposal, it would be a waste not to use it. After all, the Dukes Federation wanted to eliminate martial artists and secret spirits as quickly as possible, and no politician would want to experience the feeling of losing power again.
"Both martial will and secret spirits have a unique nature. Once a 6th-stage practitioner or secret spirit appears in a particular school, the corresponding part of the World's Child will awaken, causing the school or secret spirit to be limited to the 5th stage."
"Thus, all the hidden supreme beings must be dealt with; otherwise, I won't be able to extract them from the world's core civilization."
Perhaps the Star Eagle's words were partly true and partly false, but Qin Muye could judge the truth through his own abilities. The unique characteristic mentioned was true.
Because of the Star Eagle's appearance, the Heavenly Eagle School and the Star Union would not be able to produce supreme beings, only being limited to the True Martial and True Spirit realms.
Unless the Star Eagle was forced back into the world's core civilization by Qin Muye.
This is the uniqueness. Whether it's martial artists or secret spirits, only one 6th-stage practitioner or secret spirit can exist in a corresponding school or secret spirit.
They themselves cannot successfully reach the 6th stage; only the return of the World's Child can allow them to advance further to the 6th stage.
Based on Qin Muye's observations, this might be one of the restrictions.
This world, after all, still favors these unique life forms, the World's Child. No matter how well humans perform, they are only adopted sons, not biological ones.
Unfortunately, this differential treatment has no substantial effect. The World's Child's struggles are already a thing of the past, and this world now belongs to humans.
Qin Muye did not feel disdain or contempt for what happened in ancient times. At that time, humans used the word "survival" rather than "life." They had to struggle with all their might just to survive, so nothing they did was surprising.
If it were Qin Muye, he would have done the same. After all, in ancient times, the prerequisite for survival was having power; otherwise, they would be prey for other beings.
This situation can only be described as the victor's justice. However, the World's Child had a loving father, but unfortunately, they met Qin Muye. If the plan goes smoothly, not only will the World's Child be gone, but the world itself will cease to exist.
