Chapter 801: The Challenge from the Sea
Chapter 801: The Challenge from the Sea
The Human Form, being an entry-level path, is relatively easy for martial artists to cultivate, and it can quickly grant them a certain level of combat prowess without much risk. This is because the Human Form doesn't involve complex transformations, and its focus on self-cultivation ensures that practitioners don't undergo excessive alteration or deification. Instead, they rely solely on their own foundation to progress.
However, a person's foundation determines their upper limit. Even with external supplements like drugs and special nutrients, the challenges become more significant as one progresses.
In terms of cultivation, the Human Form differs from the other two paths in that it emphasizes both the spirit and the physical body. While it doesn't delve as deeply into extremes as the other two paths, it requires practitioners to meticulously remove any potential influences or attachments, thus maintaining a complete and intact self. This process demands twice the effort.
In contrast, the Divine Form and the Extraordinary Form only require focus on a single path. After overcoming the initial difficulties, progress becomes faster, and the strength gained increases as one advances.
The Human Form does have its advantages. Due to its popularity, the cultivation methods are highly refined, and the steps for using nutrients, ingredients, and drugs are exceptionally clear. There's an abundance of experience from previous practitioners, ensuring that one doesn't stray from the path.
Chen Chuan contemplated this, realizing that the Human Form aligned well with the Pure School's approach of self-purification.
However, not all martial artists in the Pure School would cultivate the Human Form. For instance, the masked man who assisted Mr. Zhuan certainly didn't follow this path.
The Pure School's core principle is to uncompromisingly resist those who covet their world. As long as one identifies as a human and can maintain their true form, the Divine Form and the Extraordinary Form can be embraced.
With this thought, Chen Chuan continued reading.
The subsequent content focused entirely on the key points and areas of emphasis for cultivating the Human Form.
The three related orifices and their respective emphases varied, but the primary focus remained on altered organizations. The path of the Human Form required stimulating altered organizations through mental and physical training, leading to their transformation.
This transformation was a continuation of the previous growth of altered organizations, but with a crucial difference. Previously, the goal was to promote the growth and strengthening of altered organizations to enable them to carry and possess the power for a breakthrough. Now, the focus was on guiding these organizations towards higher levels through various martial techniques and mental training.
Similarly, excessive evolution and transformation at this stage could be dangerous, just as it had been in the past. This was a constant concern that required vigilance.
At this stage, martial artists were less likely to face life-threatening situations due to the enhanced nature of their life essence. However, there was still a risk of deviation, where altered organizations might become dominant, transforming into something else entirely.
Chen Chuan saw illustrations on the information platform depicting the dangers of excessive growth in altered organizations, turning people into various types of monsters. Some were almost unrecognizable as humans, and their sizes varied greatly.
Therefore, the true essence of the "Guard True Form" realm required both fearless advancement and self-restraint.
Regardless of the path chosen, martial artists needed to consume large quantities of corresponding drugs during their cultivation. They also had to ingest substantial amounts of food to provide the energy required for cultivation, and it was best to avoid prolonged interruptions.
Chen Chuan considered this and realized that for the supply of resources, relying on the central city would be more convenient. With its comprehensive supply system, even if one city lacked something, it could be acquired from another central city.
However, some nutrients and drugs were not available in the central city. Nutrients could be obtained from the Fusion Land, while drugs would require the assistance of the government and companies.
This explained why most martial artists held positions in the government and companies rather than all of them venturing into the Fusion Land.
To acquire these resources, Chen Chuan could seek help from the government and possibly the Pure School.
If he couldn't obtain everything he needed, he would have to find alternative solutions.
After reviewing all the critical points and precautions, Chen Chuan began studying the specific cultivation methods. However, he was only skimming for now, as the self-modification of his physical body was still ongoing.
This was a positive development, as the longer the modification process, the stronger his foundation would become, leading to higher expectations for his future potential.
After reading through all the content, Chen Chuan had a general understanding. Although it wasn't yet time for cultivation, he needed to continuously supply his body with energy, and he couldn't afford any negligence.
With these clarifications, Chen Chuan's mind was at ease, awaiting the right time for cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and it was the 30th day.
Chen Chuan hadn't been to the Handling Bureau these past few days because, after Director Wu's return, all matters were handled without his involvement. Xu Chan had also been officially promoted to the position of Investigation Supervisor.
The new supervisor, transferred from another central city, was already on the way, ensuring that the three Investigation Supervisors would soon be complete on paper.
It seemed that he had other appointments, so Director Wu's side was still figuring out a solution, and there was no news yet. However, it was highly likely that they were waiting for the gap in the World Ring to be filled before transferring someone from the Defense Department to take over.
Around noon, after consuming the high-energy nutritional food prepared by Gao Yanjun, he was ready to board the airship and head out to the sea for cultivation. Just before leaving, he received a telegram.
It was from Meng Shu, mainly congratulating him on becoming a Fighter, and below the telegram, there was an additional note from Three Cities Wilderness.
It mentioned that when Fusion Border took over the Ferris Wheel Corporation's industry, it was initially smooth, but things changed a few days ago, encountering some obstacles.
This obstacle came from his master, the Pavilion Master of Wave Pavilion, Feng Heshou.
This Blade Master, relying on his own prestige and martial prowess, brought the negotiations to a halt.
Three Cities Wilderness then went to Wave Pavilion to meet with the teacher and brought back the news that Feng Heshou had heard that Chen Chuan, the Security Supervisor of Fusion Border, had become a Fighter. So, he wanted to spar with him, and regardless of the outcome, he wouldn't cause any further hindrance.
Three Cities Wilderness felt he couldn't make the decision himself, so he attached this news to the telegram and sent it to Chen Chuan, also mentioning that Canglong Corporation and Distant Sea Exploration Group had informed the government about this matter.
Chen Chuan's thoughts turned, and he felt this matter might not be so simple. It was possible that Feng Heshou wanted to spar, but as a Blade Master for many years, following the usual line of thinking, it didn't make sense for him to immediately challenge Chen Chuan after becoming a Fighter.
Could it be simply because Chen Chuan was the supervisor of Fusion Border? There must be another reason behind this.
However, since he was challenged, it didn't make sense not to go.
As he could obtain energy replenishment from the Rift, he wasn't afraid of these additional losses. He longed for the opportunity to cross blades with such a formidable opponent.
But before going, he needed to understand the specific situation clearly.
After considering, he immediately used the Border Token to seek detailed information about this matter from Andun. As soon as he made the request, not only the Handling Bureau but also the Government Hall actively provided assistance.
When a Fighter wanted information, if they had a good relationship with the local government of Zhongxincheng, all aspects would provide convenience for him. Within just half an hour of his request, comprehensive and effective information from all sides was gathered and conveyed to him through Andun, demonstrating an extremely high level of efficiency.
In a 6-1-9 book, there's no mistake!
This was unimaginable in the past.
This was the advantage of being within the system; he didn't need to work on it himself, as messages and resources would automatically converge. Correspondingly, he also needed to maintain the system to form a stable and mutually beneficial relationship.
By the time he finished reading all these messages, he had more or less restored the original context of the matter.
Previously, the existence of Wave Pavilion was due not only to Feng Heshou himself but also to the fact that Wave Pavilion didn't proactively engage in external affairs.
At that time, the situation in the distant sea was in a standoff between Great Harmony and the Linakses Federation. Before a winner was decided, neither side wanted to introduce additional variables, so no one dared to provoke Wave Pavilion.
However, this time, Great Harmony eliminated the Ferris Wheel Corporation, and the proxy supported by the Linakses Federation was crushed. With Distant Sea Exploration Group and Canglong Corporation encompassing most of the distant sea, Wave Pavilion, being within this context, had to make a choice.
Sparring with him was likely just an excuse, and his true intention was probably to find someone of equal status for a negotiation.
He pondered for a moment. Regardless of whether this was the case, he prepared to accept the invitation and witness the blade skills of this Blade Master.
However, with his current identity, he couldn't just leave as he pleased. He needed to inform the Zhongxincheng government and the Fighting Council beforehand.
At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
He was surprised. Usually, only family members would call, and since today was a day off, he had just spoken with his aunt and others in the morning.
He walked over and picked up the receiver. The person on the other end said, "Supervisor Chen, this is Yao Zhiyi."
Chen Chuan was slightly taken aback and said, "Principal Yao, you're back?"
"Just got back, but I have a few words for you. Didn't you inquire about Feng Heshou's news? The Government Hall wants to hear my opinion. They initially intended to send me, just in case something unexpected happens on your end.
But I declined. I can't leave here, and now that Feng Heshou specifically mentioned your name, why send someone else? Besides, they don't know, but I'm aware of your capabilities, old man. This matter should be handled by you."
Chen Chuan said, "Principal, I also want to witness this Blade Master's skills."
Yao Zhiyi laughed, "I knew you'd go. I can guess Feng Heshou's thoughts. I don't think he intends to make things difficult for you. Instead, he's probably looking for a way out, and since you have a good relationship with his disciple, it's best if you go."
Chen Chuan nodded, calmly saying, "I have a good relationship with one of his disciples, but his other disciple died by my blade."
