Chapter 500: Secret Revelations (Requesting Monthly Vote)
Director Fu took a sip of hot tea, savoring its flavor before speaking:
"That's only natural. The gap between geniuses is far greater than you imagine."
"SS-Rank Geniuses already have a chance to breakthrough to the Nine Realms, so Sss-Rank Geniuses almost certainly can achieve it."
"As long as they have sufficient resources and time, Nine Realms martial artists won't be rare."
"But the power differences between Nine Realms martial artists can be tremendous."
"The Beastblood Colossus system is how we distinguish innate talent gaps, dividing geniuses into four tiers."
"Most Sss-Rank Geniuses can only comprehend Level 11 Disaster Beasts, and even martial artists who've awakened two innate talents aren't guaranteed to comprehend Level 12 Disaster Beasts."
"Only the absolute elite who've awakened two abilities, particularly those with extraordinary cultivation and innate talent, can comprehend Level 12 Disaster Beasts."
"As for the six apex beings of the Beastblood Colossus, in the past few decades only ten have succeeded."
"You know their titles - our Xia Kingdom's Red Emperor, Overlord Ba."
"The War God of the White Eagle Federation, the Ice Emperor of the Bear Republic, the Ganges Sage of the Tianzhu Kingdom."
"Each of them is undisputedly the strongest in their respective nations."
"They're in a league of their own, even among Nine Realms martial artists."
Lin Qi nodded. Every name Director Fu mentioned was indeed the strongest in their country.
At the same time, these were the top five most powerful individuals recognized globally.
Director Fu continued:
"As for the remaining five, they're the current top five on the rankings."
"And of those, Xia Kingdom has three, which makes other countries extremely envious."
Lin Qi sipped his tea before signaling for a refill.
"Lin Qi, people have always said that those who comprehend apex Disaster Beast martial arts are destined to become top ten figures globally."
"Our human civilization is destined to be led by talents like you. I hope you'll cherish your innate gifts."
"The future of humanity rests on your shoulders."
Lin Qi nodded, then asked:
"Director Fu, I have a question."
"The martial art I comprehended contained information about a Disaster Beast called the Golden Emperor Tiger."
"But within the martial art, it's referred to as a 'Yao' (demonic race), not a Disaster Beast..."
Lin Qi briefly explained the Golden Emperor Tiger martial art's information before voicing his confusion:
"Are their real names 'Yao' instead of Disaster Beast?"
Director Fu nodded after hearing this:
"It seems you've discovered the existence of the Yao."
"We've actually known about the Yao for a long time, and it was the Red Emperor who first informed us."
"Disaster Beasts are Disaster Beasts, and Yao are Yao - they're different entities."
"Disaster Beasts lack intelligence, while the Yao possess intelligence and are far more powerful."
"Based on our hypothesis, Disaster Beasts are like subordinates to the Yao, suppressed by their bloodline and even controlled by them."
"The most powerful Disaster Beasts are Level 9."
"Once we reach Level 10 Disaster Beasts, they're actually considered Yao. That's why they can control massive numbers of Disaster Beasts, initiating the Disaster Beast Tide."
"For the Yao, Disaster Beasts are more like cannon fodder."
Lin Qi felt his confusion dissipate after hearing this explanation.
Director Fu continued:
"You've probably realized this too."
"The universe is vast, and humans from Earth aren't the only ones. Other planets have human civilizations as well."
"And these civilizations are more powerful with advanced technologies."
"Besides humans, there are Disaster Beasts, the Vermin Race, and now the newly emerged Yao."
"Both Disaster Beasts and the Vermin Race are humanity's enemies, and there might be even more enemies in the future."
"But humans only have the Nine Realms cultivation system. From the Yao's existence, we can see their stages far surpass the Nine Realms."
"If such beings appeared on our Blue Planet, we'd be powerless to resist."
"That's why the Red Emperor and others continue to grow stronger despite unknown pressures."
"But breaking through from the Ninth Stage to the Tenth Stage has remained a mystery so far."
"And we've been afraid of causing panic among humans, so we've kept the Yao's existence secret."
"It's only recently with the emergence of Level 10 Disaster Beasts that we've started gradually revealing this information."
Lin Qi nodded, understanding the concerns of the top experts.
In his previous life, he'd read many novels and watched various anime and movies.
He accepted the concept of the Yao surprisingly quickly.
Accepting it was one thing, but since there were currently no signs of them, he wasn't overly worried.
However, it was still wise to prepare for the future.
Director Fu placed his teacup down:
"Most of what we discussed just now, I only shared with you because you're an Sss-Rank Genius."
"Even Seventh Realm martial artists might not have access to this information."
"Don't feel too pressured."
"The Otherworld has existed for untold millennia. these unknown human civilizations and the Yao could be billions of years old."
"For now, our enemies remain the Disaster Beasts. Your next task is to focus on cultivation and forge your own Steel Qi."
"I understand!" Lin Qi replied.
At present, he was just a newly breakthrough Seventh Realm martial artist. The Yao were still too distant a concern for him.
...
Lin Qi and Director Fu continued chatting for over two hours, finishing off an entire small pouch of tea.
Director Fu was born in 1984 during the Martial Dao Calendar, having lived through an entire era.
He knew many historical secrets from the past. The stories he shared opened Lin Qi's eyes, earning him much benefit and significantly improving their relationship. They even exchanged Weixun contacts.
...
After Lin Qi left, Director Fu remained alone in his office.
He poured himself another cup of hot tea, sighing:
"Who would've thought I'd misjudge him completely!"
"Without awakening three special abilities, he managed to master cultivation techniques for six apex Disaster Beasts."
"Or perhaps he hasn't awakened yet - he might be a latent awakening case, with the third ability only awakening in the future."
"Even so, his potential exceeds my expectations."
"In a few years, his power might surpass mine."
"I hope more talents like him continue to emerge."
After muttering to himself, he took out his smartphone and sent messages to several friends on Weixun.
...
Lin Qi returned to his "Myriad Beast Home" residence, room 305.
"Xiaochan, project my notes!"
"Understood, Master!"
The blue metallic orb projected Xiaochan's form and displayed a status panel.
Lin Qi began writing on the status panel, recording the Blood Transfiguration section from the Golden Emperor's Secret Canon while making notes.
He also recorded the content of his conversation with Director Fu.
After briefly summarizing everything, he sent a message to Dean Liu, asking him to pick him up tomorrow.
Then he took a quick shower and went to bed.
...
Heavenly Dome Institute
Xingxiu Residence, within a villa.
Inside the Martial Arts Training Hall, Dean Liu sat cross-legged in a white robe, surrounded by swirling gales.
Massive amounts of primordial energy flowed into his body, being absorbed.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.
He sighed:
"My innate talent remains insufficient. Despite the Heavenly Dome Institute's excellent cultivation environment, my Vital Energy Stat hasn't improved much after so much cultivation."
"Without Heavenly Treasures, continuing like this might mean I won't reach the Eighth Stage for decades."
"But if I use Blood Transfiguration elixirs, I might be able to perform four Blood Transfigurations and breakthrough to the Eighth Stage!"
Blood Transfiguration elixirs were made primarily from Blood Lingzhi mushrooms. While their effects were inferior to the Blood Lingzhi itself, they could refine one's blood and dramatically improve the Vital Energy Stat.
