Chapter 800: Observing the Law and Walking the Path
The woman lit a cigarette, took a puff, and propped her elbow on the hand holding the cigarette. She asked, "What does the boss want to do?"
The middle-aged strongman spoke in a deep voice, "The simplest and most direct method is, of course, physical elimination. But this time, it's an internal affair within the Pure School. If we take such action, even if we succeed, the Pure School won't let it go. So the best approach is a fair decisive battle. The losing side backs down, preventing this from escalating into a conflict between the two schools."
The woman bluntly replied, "Not to mention, boss, your idea is too presumptuous. Why would Supervisor Chen even bother with you? Even if he agrees, the Pure School won't consent."
Just as the middle-aged strongman was about to say something, the field domain screen in front suddenly shook. The woman said, "We've encountered something again. Let's go outside and take a look."
Immediately, a security guard lifted the curtain and stepped out. In an instant, a gust of wind carrying dust and sand rushed in, but upon reaching the interior, it seemed to hit an invisible barrier, unable to stir anything inside the room.
Outside the house at that moment, a giant creature resembling a crawling lizard supported the building they were in on its back. It was a tall wooden structure of at least three stories, surrounded by red sandstone and dust flying in the air.
They were indeed in the Fusion Zone.
In the distance, a mist of colorful light approached, shattering solid rocks into powder wherever it passed, instantly turning them into scattered gravel on the ground.
The woman saw the reflection of a rainbow on the security's protective goggles, and her four pupils suddenly narrowed. She turned back and said to the inside, "Boss, it's the Rainbow Barrier! We can't handle this."
The middle-aged man immediately picked up a book from the table in front of him and began reading aloud in a deep voice, filled with rich emotions.
"Under the soft moonlight, Morty arrived at the familiar stone bridge. He peered through the gaps in the wild grapevine, along the horizontal branches of the birch tree, and looked towards the familiar window on the second floor. He could imagine the enchanting figure behind the window and those captivating green eyes..."
His fierce and burly appearance contrasted with his expressive voice, giving everyone goosebumps. The security and the woman could only wait numbly.
After two sentences, the middle-aged strongman suddenly stopped reading and put down the book. He walked out, and in a flash, he disappeared. Soon after, a shimmering light appeared outside, and in what seemed like an instant, he reappeared at the door. After a few steps, he sat back down on the sofa and naturally continued the previous topic:
"That was just my ideal idea. Of course, we can be bolder from the start. If it doesn't work, we can lure him to the Fusion Zone. There are more options there, and we can also avoid a lot of trouble."
The woman said, "The strategy has potential, but how do we lure him out?"
"How could a fighter stay in Zhongxincheng all the time? The Municipal Parliament has promised Supervisor Chen three years of stable supply. If he doesn't come out for three years, will the boss wait for three years?"
The middle-aged strongman wasn't worried. "Don't worry. With Zhao Zhenye there, they won't ignore us. At most, they'll get Zhao Zhenye to show up. Will the Pure School still sit still?"
The woman said playfully, "That Mr. Zhao... he might not listen to us."
The middle-aged strongman's eyes narrowed, and the black smoke within them swirled. "I'll go and talk to him personally."
The woman showed a solemn expression and then reminded him, "Boss, it's not that I look down on you, but Mr. Zhao is very capable. He's not our subordinate, and he might not listen to you."
"I'm not stupid. I'm not going to provoke him. The Pure School has its plans. Can't he understand that? We have a foundation for cooperation, but this matter needs to be handled slowly. We can't rush it. Moreover, if it comes to a fight..."
The middle-aged strongman looked at the field domain screen. "I might not be able to keep him alone. I need to think of a proper solution."
In the residence of Wuding District, Chen Chuan had just finished a night of cultivation and was now feeding Chao Ming. The first batch of ingredients provided by the Municipal Parliament was nutritionally sufficient, so Chao Ming could only eat a little each time before entering sleep. This batch would last for at least half a year.
After finishing the feeding, just as he was about to go to the study, a border token connected. Andun notified him, "The connection signal is from the National Express Company."
Chen Chuan's heart stirred. He accepted the connection, and a very common voice sounded from the other end, "Mr. Chen? Hello, this is the National Express Company. We have a package to deliver to you."
Chen Chuan asked, "Where are you now?"
"We've arrived in Wuding District and are heading towards your residence. We estimate we can reach you within ten minutes."
Chen Chuan replied, "Good, I'll wait."
He instructed his security to open the main gate. After a few minutes, a medium-sized delivery truck drove by and stopped in front of the courtyard under the guidance of the security personnel.
He descended the stairs and saw two ordinary-looking young men struggling to lift a chest from the carriage, its height reaching their chests. The chest seemed heavy, and as they set it down, dust rose into the air.
One of the young men glanced at Chen Chuan, seemingly confirming his identity against some reference, and then approached Chen with a list. He saluted Chen and handed him the list, saying, "Mr. Chen, this is your delivery. Please sign for it."
Chen took the list, noticing the official seal of the Wuyi Academy, confirming the package's authenticity. He signed it and returned it to the young man.
The young man tore off a receipt and asked if Chen needed help carrying the chest inside. Upon learning it wasn't necessary, he saluted again and returned to the carriage, driving away.
Chen looked at the chest, realizing it contained the method of Human Form cultivation. He was surprised that a courier company delivered it, and their style seemed akin to military personnel.
He grabbed the chest by its leather strap as if it were weightless and carried it upstairs to the practice room.
Chen set down the chest, unlocked it, and removed three layers of wrapping to reveal a Field Domain creature coiled like a twisted vine. It was motionless, seemingly in a state of suspended animation.
Chen understood at a glance. The information was likely embedded within this Field Domain creature, specially prepared so that only a cultivator of the Fourth Limit could activate and access it.
He pressed his hand against the creature, and after a while, it began to tremble. Its branches extended and spread outward, emitting a Field Domain.
The Field Domain stabilized quickly, and soon, light emanated from its tendrils, revealing a combination of text and images.
The information contained a method for cultivating the Human Form.
Chen's eyes sparkled as he absorbed the information within moments. The Field Domain creature, having served its purpose, shrank as if exhausted, its body and branches turning ash-white.
Chen ignored the creature's state and focused on the information conveyed.
The method described the steps for entering the Human Form, the tools required, and the key points for cultivation, all explained in detail.
But there was more. The text also described the Divine Transformation and Extraordinary Transformation, and from the additional information, Chen understood the academy's intention. They wanted cultivators to have a clear understanding of the Three Transformations to prevent impulsive decisions. Once a cultivator chose a path and began their practice, there was no turning back. However, there was still time to change paths.
So, Chen didn't rush into cultivation. He continued reading about the Extraordinary Transformation, which focused on Visualization Meditation. It involved contemplating ancient visualization charts passed down through the ages or creating one's own visualization to stimulate the growth of altered organizations in a specific direction.
Most visualization charts were inherited from various religions, providing a clear path for cultivation. After all, many ancient dynasties had established their Extraordinary Transformation systems and temples, and most of these traditions survived to the present day.
Self-creation, however, was challenging. It required building something from scratch, a daunting task. The Extraordinary Transformations of ancient religions were the result of generations of accumulation and experimentation, and only exceptionally talented individuals might surpass them. But such cases were rare.
Divine Transformation, on the other hand, required traveling to the other side, a journey to the divine realm. There, one had to temper themselves and create their own Eternal Trace. Once this trace was established, the spirit could immerse itself in that realm, and the next step was to find one's External Form Master.
This External Form Master might or might not exist. The theory of Divine Transformation was to find a compatible divine form, gradually steal its power, and then replace it with one's own.
Chen continued reading, learning that both paths had their advantages and disadvantages. The Extraordinary Transformation was tricky, and once one veered off course, it was difficult to correct. Some might even deviate from the path, becoming a self-lost anomaly.
Divine Transformation, on the other hand, required facing the dangers of the divine realm. A moment of carelessness or bad luck could result in the loss of one's spirit, severely damaging one's vitality. In the worst cases, it might attract attachments from unknown entities.
Therefore, the text cautioned that unless one had exceptional mental and physical strength, it was best not to attempt these paths lightly. Instead, the Human Form cultivation was a safer choice.
Compared to the other paths, Human Form cultivation was straightforward, following the established methods of the Dharma Gate, making it an easy entry point.
