Chapter 495: Su Ping's Approach! Evolve! Evolve!
Chapter 495: Su Ping's Approach! Evolve! Evolve!
"Su Ping, what are you up to now?" Zhu Hong asked, seeing Su Ping's enthusiasm as he eagerly dragged Zhu Hong towards the Phoenix Heart.
"You'll see when we get there. I have a new idea, and I'd like your opinion on it. Come and observe the implementation to see if there are any issues," Su Ping replied.
The two of them, with the help of the Divine Wind Sparrow on Su Ping's shoulder, ran and stumbled their way to the top of the Phoenix Heart, reaching the side of the recently evolved Phoenix Perching Pine.
"Tsk, this is the evolved Phoenix Perching Pine? Not bad, your potential is quite high! Evolving the Phoenix Perching Pine isn't difficult, but finding a Hundred Birds Paulownia Tree with the innate talent to meet its evolution conditions is extremely rare. You've always been quite lucky!"
However, at this moment, Su Ping wasn't boasting about the Paulownia; instead, he whistled towards the sky.
"Caw! Caw! Caw!"
Yaya's figure appeared on the branches of the Paulownia, looking at Su Ping.
"Yaya, come here!"
With a wave of his hand, Yaya flapped her wings and quickly landed on Su Ping's other shoulder. Then, she glared at the Divine Wind Sparrow, which had been ruffled by Su Ping.
Habitually, Su Ping rubbed Yaya's head and said, "Master Zhu, do you know about Tai Chi?"
Upon hearing this, Master Zhu's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he thought for a moment. "Of course I do. Not only that, but I even read some books and consulted with Master Feng when I was in the capital at the beginning of the year."
This time, it was Su Ping who was surprised. "Oh?"
Master Zhu cleared his throat. "Well, at the beginning of the year, the appearance of the Five Elements Body made me ponder some ideas as well. But after researching for a few days, I gave up. Just as Master Feng said, the Five Elements have principles of generation and restraint. Based on this input and output, there is a continuous flow of energy. But what about Tai Chi and the Two Poles? Even if we consider the correspondence with the Yin-Yang fish and the formation of skills, what effect would those skills have? In many cases, pet cultivation isn't about going from cause to effect; instead, it's about deducing the cause from the effect. If there's no fruit, then the 'cause' doesn't exist. Therefore, your idea may not be suitable."
"Undeniably, Tai Chi is a profound study and the crystallization of ancient wisdom in the Dragon Country. However, it's more like a philosophy rather than a pet cultivation theory!" Master Zhu became more serious as he continued speaking, even causing Su Ping's eyebrows to furrow slightly.
What would the skill manifestation of Tai Chi and the Two Poles be? If a skill were to be cultivated, what ability would it demonstrate? The Five Elements Body from the beginning of the year, the diagram of the Five Elements with their generation and restraint, and the array left by Xue Hongluan—all clearly depicted the generation and restraint of the Five Elements, aiming for the infinite circulation of energy.
This idea seemed to have succeeded.
But what would the skill manifestation of Tai Chi and the Two Poles be? At this thought, Su Ping recalled a proverb about Tai Chi and the Two Poles from his previous life.
"Tai Chi generates the Two Poles, the Two Poles generate the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols generate the Eight Trigrams."
Almost every part of this proverb held profound mysteries and the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
And the key, undoubtedly, lay in the character 'generate'.
"Generate..."
Su Ping wasn't discouraged by Master Zhu's negative words; instead, he slowly uttered this one word, and his eyes became unwaveringly determined.
So-called authority and skepticism held no meaning for him.
He had already broken countless authorities! He didn't bring Master Zhu here for this! He had his own judgment.
This was something Su Ping had never doubted.
Moreover, who said there was no 'fruit'?
He turned to Master Zhu and asked, "Master Zhu, how is your progress with the Universal Inclusion research?"
Upon hearing this, Master Zhu was slightly startled, but he seemed to understand that Su Ping might have given up on this strange cultivation idea and wanted to research Universal Inclusion with him again.
This was a good thing, and Master Zhu smiled. "It's good that you gave up early. As for Universal Inclusion, it's still not possible. I've performed complete simulations of elementalization using your Illusion Heart many times, but the cultivation results still can't allow energy to perfectly integrate..."
Before Master Zhu could finish, Su Ping interrupted, "Then, Master Zhu, have you ever considered if the form of Tai Chi can match the skill characteristics of Universal Inclusion?"
"How is that possible?" Master Zhu exclaimed in surprise.
"Why not? The Two Poles and Yin-Yang, as described in Tai Chi, possess the homogeneity of almost all energies. From a certain perspective, any energy can be transformed. So, by reversing this, can any energy conversion also be achieved? If energy is in the form of Yin-Yang and the quantities are equal, wouldn't it be easy to amplify the effect of ordinary energy skills by several or even dozens of times through the conversion of other elemental energies?"
Master Zhu was stunned and blinked.
At this moment, he realized that the self-denial he had previously held was now being swayed by Su Ping's words.
From Su Ping's perspective, it seemed that such a unique skill could indeed exist.
If the energy generation and restraint of the Heavenly Cycle Quintessence Chart allowed for infinite energy flow, stretching the so-called 'blue bar' to its limit, then the Yin-Yang skill foundation that Su Ping spoke of was essentially an amplifier for skills.
As for the extent of the amplification, that would depend on the abilities of the two individuals.
Of course, both were well aware that neither the previous Heavenly Cycle Quintessence Body nor the potential skill of Taiji Two Elements that might be cultivated would be bearable for ordinary pet beasts.
Zhu Hong remained silent.
After a full five minutes, the venerable Zhu Hong, who was old enough to be a grandfather, lifted his head and looked at Su Ping: "What do you plan to do?"
Su Ping smiled, hugged the slightly dazed Ya Ya, and then led Zhu Hong down from the Phoenix Heart once more.
But this time, Zhu Hong quickly spoke up: "Wait, where are we going?"
"Wood Heart, my laboratory!"
Zhu Hong summoned Da Huang without hesitation.
The two stood on Da Huang's body, and with a dive, they returned to the Wood Heart from the peak of the Phoenix Heart.
"You could've just said you were bringing this little crow, why make it so complicated?"
Venerable Zhu Hong stepped down from Da Huang's body, clearly dissatisfied with the journey they had just taken on foot.
Five minutes later.
In Su Ping's laboratory in the Wood Heart.
Ya Ya was in a separate room, surrounded by various strange lights.
The little guy was well-behaved at this moment and didn't move around despite Su Ping's instructions.
Outside the room, Su Ping and Zhu Hong stared at the large screen.
Under Su Ping's control, two corresponding bar values appeared on the screen.
Each bar value was labeled in Dragon Nation characters, indicating what they represented:
Fire Element Energy: 6693, 6694, 6695...
Dark Element Energy: 4971, 4972...
That's right.
This real-time energy monitor could clearly detect the elemental energy within the pet beast's body.
The value of this single machine alone was in the tens of millions.
Even though the little crow's fire-based skill wasn't particularly powerful, as an evolved Fire-Eating Crow, its body contained more fire-based energy.
Su Ping, however, didn't seem to care.
Instead, he explained to Zhu Hong outside: "Venerable Zhu, currently, Ya Ya's energy hasn't fully recovered. Therefore, we can't determine the upper limit of Ya Ya's energy.
But as a Monarch First Stage pet beast, Ya Ya's total energy is usually around six to seven thousand. However, Ya Ya is a mutant, and it has been cultivated with some abilities, so it's relatively above average.
My idea is to wait until Ya Ya's energy fully recovers to its peak state. Then, I'll have Ya Ya release all its fire-based energy through pure fire-based skills, retaining its dark-based energy.
Next, we'll quickly use the dark-based energy for recovery. We'll let Ya Ya's energy be primarily dark-based, and then directly use the Two-Pole Qi. Through the characteristics of the Two-Pole Qi, we'll stimulate Ya Ya's third attribute, the light attribute!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hong's eyebrows furrowed as he nodded thoughtfully: "The method is feasible, but I wonder if the fire-based energy of the Fire-Eating Crow will be affected?"
Su Ping revealed a confident smile: "That's exactly what we want, for the fire-based energy to influence both of them!"
This work is organized and uploaded by Liu Jiu Book Bar~~
"Hmm?"
Zhu Hong was slightly taken aback and looked at Su Ping with suspicion:
"Su Ping, according to your explanation, fire-based element energy should be considered a 'Yang' attribute, right? Tai Chi Two Elements requires absolute balance. If we can't achieve perfect balance and there's even a slight discrepancy, there might be problems.
If I may suggest, Su Ping, you don't have to conduct this experiment specifically on this Dark Flame Ancient Crow. You can choose another pet beast with a single attribute to try and cultivate. For example, you can select one with a single light or dark attribute, or even life and death, which are opposing attributes of the Two Elements.
By using the Two-Pole Qi on them, the balance point of the Two Elements should be easier to grasp, right? If we use the Dark Flame Ancient Crow, it might require more effort to achieve the Tai Chi form you desire."
Su Ping shook his head and looked at Zhu Hong: "Venerable Zhu, let me ask you, if as you say, these two Yin-Yang attributes of the Two Elements show a difference, how would we control them?"
Just like Miss Qin's Life Ancient Tree.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hong paused: "Of course..."
He was about to say that they would release the energy as Su Ping had suggested earlier, and then use other methods, resources, or magic potions to fill in the other attribute.
But is that possible? Even if it's just a temporary solution within the pet beast's body, otherwise, Miss Qin's Life Ancient Tree wouldn't need to regularly release life energy.
Instead, he could achieve a permanent solution.
Energy within a pet beast's body is constant, unless forcibly occupied by potions as Su Ping had mentioned earlier. But even then, over time, as the energy gradually recovers, it will still revert to its original proportions.
Moreover, even if he uses resource potions, this method of adding water to the dough and vice versa is not a long-term solution. After all, this isn't kneading dough; it's manipulating energy within a pet beast's body.
If something goes wrong, all efforts will be in vain.
Su Ping smiled and said, "The racial ability of the little crow is inherently fire-based, no matter what. In other words, its abilities can be finely adjusted with a dual attribute, primarily focused on flames! These two Yin-Yang attributes can be precisely balanced within the body through fire!
Of course, fire itself is also one of the Yin-Yang attributes. What I'm about to do is to ensure that after successfully balancing these dual attributes, the fire attribute within the little crow can accommodate and fine-tune these Yin-Yang attributes."
"At the same time, it transcends the boundaries of these two opposing Yin-Yang attributes."
"How is that possible, Su Ping? Don't you remember what I said earlier? The fundamental nature of flame's elemental transformation is set. As long as it remains a flame, it can't escape the containment of Yin-Yang attributes, right? Otherwise, how could the principle of 'All-Encompassing' you mentioned earlier work?"
Zhu Hong asked, perplexed.
Clearly, their conversation had become incomprehensible to most bystanders.
However, for both parties, a simple extension of their discussion made it the most straightforward.
Su Ping exhaled, "Yes, flame is flame, one of the material elements born from the Yin-Yang 'Life' force. How can it transcend its elemental nature?"
Su Ping seemed to be asking himself, and for the first time, Zhu Hong felt a bit lost with the young man before him.
He had thought Su Ping was an unimaginable genius, and he could see the scope of his breeding methods and abilities. But this time, Zhu Hong felt he couldn't quite understand.
This young man, did he know what he was talking about? Did he know what he was doing?
He wanted to speak, to advise Su Ping to give up on this impossible and irrational idea, to rest for a while, and then come back to study the 'All-Encompassing' skill.
But when he opened his mouth, no words came out.
Zhu Hong realized he had no right to say anything.
Or perhaps, he couldn't say anything.
He feared that his words might cause Su Ping to truly give up. This otherworldly, heaven-defying breeding direction...
Even if there was only a one-in-a-thousand or one-in-ten-thousand chance of success, it would be a shame to abandon it.
However, Su Ping soon snapped out of his thoughts and turned to Zhu Hong, as if he had never been discussing specific breeding methods with him but needed a witness.
He slowly said, "Elder Zhu, when I bred my Extra Body, I learned of the most special, uncertain, and miraculous skill-breeding method!"
This simple statement left Zhu Hong stunned and amazed. "What did you say? You've already bred an Extra Body?"
Su Ping didn't pay attention to Zhu Hong's shock but smiled and continued, "Do you know what the most miraculous power on Bluesphere is?"
Zhu Hong stared at the young man before him, still reeling from the bombshell.
Su Ping didn't wait for Zhu Hong's response but asked another question, "There are three problems with the little crow. First, as I mentioned earlier, the two Yin-Yang elements haven't fully merged to cultivate that unknown skill.
Second, the special fire skill 'Fire Seed' that I studied with Cloud Saint, which you also witnessed. This skill is extremely difficult to enhance. Even now, it's still at the beginner level. It will be incredibly challenging to improve it to perfection! But no matter how difficult, we must take the first step.
As for the third problem, it's the light on the little crow."
Su Ping pointed at Yaya on the screen, and Zhu Hong turned to look at the little creature.
"It's been delayed for so long; it's time for evolution."
He exhaled again, "Today, I want to solve all three problems at once."
At this moment, Zhu Hong finally realized what Su Ping meant by the most miraculous power on Bluesphere.
He now understood what Su Ping meant by the most special, uncertain, and miraculous skill-breeding method.
Evolution! Evolution! Evolution!
He intended to use the pet beast's evolution to cultivate these two interconnected yet unimaginable skills!
Zhu Hong looked at the confident young man before him, and for a moment, he felt a bit dazed.
Extra Body! The experience of an Extra Body,
Could it truly help him succeed?
However, Su Ping didn't pay attention to Zhu Hong's reaction. He walked straight to the crow and said softly, "Let's go, Yaya. Set fire to it!"
