Chapter 72: Future Choices
Chapter 72: Future Choices
That very night, Ji Jingqiu was summoned back to the martial arts academy.
Yang Shi asked him to recount the events that had transpired, and after listening, he contemplated for a moment before speaking. "Your physique became somewhat special after the injection of the gene-enhancing agent, equivalent to being one level ahead of other martial artists in breaking through the limits of the same realm."
"Remember this, and never disclose it to anyone. In the future, don't casually go for physical examinations at certain institutions."
"If anyone suspects you, just give them a vague answer, saying you're not sure or that you have an innate martial physique."
Yang Yan carefully instructed.
Reaching the third limit with one's physical strength and suppressing the fourth limit with just one dose of the gene-enhancing agent was highly unlikely, and it was most likely related to the virulent poison syndrome.
Ever since he took Ji Jingqiu to the Sun and Moon Institute for a physical examination, Yang Yan had been secretly investigating.
The events of that year were as deep as an abyss.
If this matter were to get out, it would be difficult to predict who might target Ji Jingqiu.
Especially those who had been thrown into hell due to the gene-editing project a hundred years ago and had been barely surviving, longing for a chance to turn their fortunes around.
Ji Jingqiu would become one of their hopes for a comeback, sent to the experimental platform.
Whether this was good or bad, Yang Yan couldn't tell, but he was well aware that Ji Jingqiu's status and cultivation would be decisive factors.
If Ji Jingqiu had already reached the level of a master, then he could cooperate with them and even turn the tables on these remnants, making them his supporters.
But if it was now, then Ji Jingqiu was most likely to become their experimental subject.
Yang Yan didn't think Ji Jingqiu should gamble on the uncertainties.
He just needed time to grow into a towering tree.
After listening to Yang Shi's advice and analysis, Ji Jingqiu nodded solemnly.
"I didn't expect you to reach this stage so quickly."
Yang Yan felt a mix of relief and emotion, "Do you remember when you brought Miss Mei's favor to me? At that time, I just wanted to teach you well, considering it a repayment of her kindness."
"Now, your potential is sufficient to enter the Dao Pavilion and compete for the true inheritance."
Suddenly, Yang Yan asked, "Jingqiu, do you understand the Federation?"
Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and replied, "I used to enjoy reading history, and I thought I understood the Federation well. But later, I realized that the history I knew was only what certain people wanted me to know."
Yang Yan smiled and said,
"The world has always been like this. Today, I'll briefly plan your future for you."
"A martial artist who has broken through the five limits of the celestial realm is worthy of attention wherever they are, for they are martial geniuses qualified to cultivate supreme body techniques."
"Just as the five limits of the celestial realm are a threshold, so are supreme techniques. And this threshold is firmly controlled by the major powers."
"Free martial artists usually have five options: official organizations, academies, dojos, corporations, and shrines."
"It's important to note that these five places aren't entirely mutually exclusive. Some identities can be held simultaneously, such as being both an official and a member of an academy, which has a looser structure within the Federation's academic institutions."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jingqiu suddenly remembered his online friend Ah Shan, who had been accepted into the Vast Sea Academy.
Back then, Dao Ge had mentioned that if the opportunity arose, he would help Ah Shan gain entry into the "Sea Martial Guild."
Was this Sea Martial Guild referring to the academy?
"But regardless of which path you choose, the Core Zone is always the best place for martial artists before the Shackles Realm."
Core Zone!
The Federation was divided into 24 time zones.
Compared to the peripheral planet Dong Sanhuang, the Core Zone was like the difference between a metropolis and a rural area in the previous life, not even on the same scale.
"Yang Shi, is it because of resources?" Ji Jingqiu asked.
"Yes, but it's not just that."
Yang Yan nodded and explained, "The Federation has a rule that organizations like academies, shrines, and corporations must establish their headquarters in the Core Zone, especially shrines, once they reach a certain scale."
"This was a rule established by the Seven Masters at the Federation's inception and is still enforced today, forming one of the Federation's fundamental policies.
"In some rumors, the significance of establishing the Core Zone is to seal away certain things, but even I am not privy to the specifics."
"However, one thing is certain: the Core Zone is the best place for cultivation for martial artists who are about to embark on Divine Roaming or those who have already attained it."
"Especially for martial artists who are in the process of forging their body essences, the Core Zone significantly enhances their cultivation efficiency."
"This is not only due to the abundance of resources but also has a lot to do with the Mind Ocean."
"I've already asked Xiao Ba to submit your application, and by August of this year, you should be able to go through the process and head to the Core Zone."
Ji Jingqiu did a quick calculation; even if it were early August, there would still be two months left.
For him, breaking through the Fifth Limit within this timeframe should not be a problem.
"The only thing left is for you to choose which path to take once you reach the Core Zone."
Yang Yan paused,
"To be honest, I come from the Dragon Tiger Dojo, which would have been an excellent place for you. But..."
He shook his head,
"The Dragon Tiger Dojo has already established its current generation's successor, and even if you enter with your true inheritance status, you won't be able to receive the core meditation diagram within three years unless you're willing to bear the cost of all cultivation resources yourself."
Read the original on Book 69@Book/Bar!
"After all, resources are limited, and for the Dragon Tiger Dojo, supporting a genius martial artist to cultivate the supreme meditation diagram within three years is already pushing the limit."
There were some things Yang Yan didn't mention.
For a place like the Dragon Tiger Dojo, the core inheritance also carries the weight of "orthodoxy."
For a top-tier force like the Dragon Tiger Dojo, the three-year interval is not just about resources; it's also crucial for ensuring an orderly succession.
The stubborn elders of the dojo value a stable lineage, and ensuring the emergence of a martial genius in each generation is sufficient.
So, even if Ji Jingqiu's talent is not inferior to, or even surpasses, the current generation's successor, the Dragon Tiger Dojo will not change its established plan.
In Yang Yan's eyes, the Dragon Tiger Dojo is no longer the best choice for Ji Jingqiu.
Of course, basic relationships can still be maintained.
In the future, Ji Jingqiu can go to the Dragon Tiger Dojo to offer incense and maintain their connection. By claiming to be a disciple of the Dragon Tiger Dojo when he's away, many things will become more convenient, and the dojo won't mind. This is a win-win situation.
Moreover, even without the core inheritance, the Dragon Tiger Dojo is not lacking in the inheritance of combat skills.
Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "Does cultivating the Supreme Meditation Diagram consume a lot of resources?"
"Which meditation diagram are you referring to?"
Yang Yan explained,
"Some Supreme Meditation Diagrams are in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth. They are not simple to comprehend by merely meditating on the divine will. They require numerous prerequisites, and the threshold is extremely high."
"Investing resources to solve this is the simplest and most cost-effective method."
At this point, Yang Yan realized that Ji Jingqiu was not far from the Fifth Limit.
Once he reaches the Fifth Limit, he can condense his true seed.
At that time, he will have to choose a body technique.
Yang Yan added, "There's something you should understand. Many Supreme Meditation Diagrams and body techniques, while classified as supreme in terms of rank, were included in the supreme category due to the achievements of their creators or a previous generation. It doesn't mean that every martial artist can reach that level."
"So, there's a term called 'compatibility.' Martial artists with low compatibility will find it challenging to achieve the desired results in their cultivation."
"It's not uncommon for Supreme Meditation Diagrams to produce Middle or even Lower Realm effects. This issue is most prevalent in body techniques."
After listening to Yang Shi's explanation, Ji Jingqiu gained a new understanding of Federation Martial Arts.
No wonder he had often seen the term 'completion rate' on forums, which was related to body essence.
This likely refers to the comparison between the forged body essence and its ideal state.
