Free Web NovelChapter 952: Chapter 45: The True Power of the Nine-State System
But then, the Night Emperor opened his mouth to reveal a truth:
"In fact, my own divine techniques are not from the Daoist profession, nor are they the so-called Auspicious Beast divine techniques!"
Amidst True Immortal Mo Mei’s astonishment, the Night Emperor recounted a past event.
He said he had acquired two divine techniques at that time.
One was a technique that could replicate others’ divine techniques, and the other was the Golden God.
Thus, he practiced the replicating technique, and then copied that Golden God.
"So, you as the Ancestor of Auspicious Beasts, are not actually an Auspicious Beast?"
True Immortal Mo Mei fell into contemplation, "Your divine technique seems to have great potential, being ever-changing, truly remarkable."
"However, since your system is a Yin Attribute, it is a bit troublesome..."
"But it’s only a little trouble; my Yin Attribute Beast Taming isn’t strong, I can also dissolve the friend contract."
"But if I go through a reconstruction, I will enter a period of weakness!"
For True Immortal Mo Mei, the Yin Attribute Beast Taming contract can be eliminated and replaced with the Night Emperor.
This masked strategic significance is quite good.
But the main goal now is still to find an Auspicious Beast.
"Do you have any recommendations for an Auspicious Beast?" True Immortal Mo Mei asked.
"My wife is not bad," the Night Emperor spoke.
Ye Tian’ai, his childhood sweetheart, was sneakily given Golden Mud to cultivate with by him.
But later, an Upper-tier Golden God appeared, and he spent thousands of years using a great amount of Destiny, continuously using Stone-to-Gold, to enlighten the Golden Mud within Ye Tian’ai.
It "luckily" mutated into a Golden God.
It could be said to have come at great cost.
After all, his son was unreliable, but his wife was a virtuous helper, continuously managing the dynasty for him, kind and smart.
And since he himself was not a Golden God, someone had to bear the divine techniques of the Daoist System.
So he chose his wife, willing to spend any cost to elevate her.
"My wife Ye Tian’ai is a Golden God, with quite good talent; she was also a prodigy within the Sect in her era, and contracting her is possible."
"Moreover, she has high plasticity, and though she is still in the Immortal-Becoming stage, she has already passed the Three Calamities and Two Tribulations, and can still be explored further, then become an Immortal."
Ye Tian’ai, huh?
True Immortal Mo Mei looked at the woman coming out from the spatial treasure, nodded approvingly, and smiled, "This sister’s aptitude isn’t bad, maybe it’s possible to use some resources to help her pass a few more tribulations."
However, the Yin Attribute, the Life Attribute, if this couple dissolves both Beast Tamings at once...
It’s like self-severing one’s arms, the period of weakness will be too long!
If discovered by enemies, the Sect is likely to have problems.
"Blessed problems," True Immortal Mo Mei sighed softly.
As for Emperor Zangwu?
Both seem a bit overwhelming, the third one, regardless of strength, she didn’t bother to look.
Let’s first keep them in the Sect and talk later.
The family is vast and prosperous, it’s not like they can’t afford to keep a Human Immortal.
For the next few days, True Immortal Mo Mei, as the host, led everyone to adapt to the Major Sect environment and explained various detailed insights into the Immortal Realm and high-end information.
Even, she took them to meet some senior figures for mutual acquaintance.
However, the divine techniques of the Night Emperor and others were kept hidden, even from those within the Sect.
Thus, they officially took root in the Immortal Realm and formed Sect factions!
Moreover, with this True Immortal’s approachability, personally mentoring and nurturing several "friend babies," guiding their growth.
The Night Emperor also broadened his horizons and learned about the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations system distinctions.
The Night Emperor couldn’t help but ask, "Our friend system is a deficient system, falling short of Perfection. Why not pursue complete Perfection?"
True Immortal Mo Mei patiently explained, "Perfection isn’t always the best! It symbolizes an ultimate, representing something that can’t be universally applied... Our Beast Taming System, by not being perfect, has versatility."
"We rank in the top three among the thirteen Immortal Realm giant systems!"
"Moreover, our [Deficient] Beast Taming System can be stronger than most [Perfect] systems, because although we fall short, lack perfection, so what? We can still find perfect beasts to tame."
I nurture ten beasts; in theory, all ten can complete the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations.
Am I not superior to you?
Theoretically, the Beast Taming System is one of the highest potential systems in the entire Immortal Realm.
Perhaps, this is one reason why the Beast Taming System is considered deficient; because being too perfect and too strong, it intentionally falls short.
Leaves a weakness: the main body is weak.
Otherwise, if one could traverse the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations, and the ten beasts under them could also do so, wouldn’t it be overwhelming?
"Therefore, our friend system never needs to change, and our civilization will never envy others’ systems!"
True Immortal Mo Mei said this with a hint of pride.
This is arrogance rooted deep within the race.
They are proud of their civilization system and will not envy those seemingly stronger Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations systems.
"I see."
Night Emperor showed a look of realization, is this the pride and confidence of a powerful race?
Theoretically, the deficient system of friends has a higher potential limit than the perfect system of the Nine-State!
But it’s just theory.
In the world, how many people can completely break through that final barrier and contract with you?
And their strength comes from spending money, to the point where it can make people cry!
Seeing Night Emperor’s thoughtful expression, True Immortal Mo Mei seemed to see through the other’s thoughts:
"It’s said that the true giant of our Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerate, seems to have a monster that’s reached perfection in the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations under him."
"He cultivated it personally."
"That’s truly impressive!"
Speaking of this, True Immortal Mo Mei showed a look of aspiration.
This is the ultimate masterpiece every cultivator dreams of cultivating!
Finding a friend baby with unparalleled aptitude and then personally training them to reach perfection in the three and seven tribulations!
This is the dream of many.
But encountering such a beast with extraordinary aptitude is far less likely than winning the lottery.
"Don’t worry," Night Emperor said, "Our group of friends will also stand at that high place, and someday become Immortal Venerate."
"Yes." True Immortal Mo Mei nodded.
Night Emperor couldn’t help but ask, "If theoretically, every beast can complete the Three Calamities and Seven Tribulations, why bother with Yin, Yang, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth?"
"Every beast under them is an all-round beast and does not need attribute differentiation," Night Emperor curiously said.
True Immortal Mo Mei showed a hint of surprise, "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? Any system has a main attribute, and the others are auxiliary."
"For example, you Daoists cultivate mainly fate, and then soul and flesh. Even if you simultaneously cultivate, it’s still one main and two auxiliary."
"Within any life form, there is always a distinction between primary and secondary, and Daoists primarily cultivate fate, with others as auxiliary; hence they’re auspicious beasts."
Night Emperor pondered for a while and suddenly thought of a question: "Can’t we cultivate everything in balance?"
"Impossible," True Immortal Mo Mei said, "Cultivation naturally has fast and slow parts, primary and secondary, with attributes inside higher or lower."
Night Emperor couldn’t help but say, "If you circulate the ten attributes within, wouldn’t all attributes be balanced without primary and secondary?"
"Circulate the attributes?"
True Immortal Mo Mei was stunned, "What are you talking about!? That’s fantastical!"
She paused, showing a thoughtful expression:
"It seems theoretically feasible. If attributes were circulated, there wouldn’t be primary and secondary, becoming one cycle, endlessly growing..."
"Like a bucket of water where, after circulation, the water level is even everywhere, no longer distinguished by high or low."
"This cycle system should be incredibly difficult to kill because the cycle means endless growth, able to survive countless calamities, with life force so strong and a lifespan thousands of times longer than cultivators of the same tier."
"And with circulation, ten attributes can be divided this way: Yin Yang Cycle, Five Elements Cycle, Fate, Body, and Soul Cycle..."
True Immortal Mo Mei thought about it, finding this system theoretically feasible but extraordinarily hard.
"The history of the Immortal Realm is so long, being the center of world civilization, someone must have proposed such a system theory. I’ll look into it when I have time."
True Immortal Mo Mei smiled, continuing to explain other topics.
On the contrary, Night Emperor suddenly realized the uniqueness of the Nine-State: Nine-State’s system, attribute circulation, does not distinguish primary and secondary!
Each system has its own distinct traits.
Nine-State’s trait is: Circulation!
Others’ attributes are isolated, categorized by strength and weakness, primary and secondary.
Even in the Beast Taming System, beasts’ battles only involve external attribute combinations, mutual growth and restriction, not exactly an endless solid cycle.
Nine-State, Five Elements, Four Viscera... every realm is a cycle, elegant, beautiful, subtly aligning with a cycle of Heavenly Dao.
No wonder the undying nature is so strong, cutting off heads, hands, feet... even immortals in the Immortal Realm wouldn’t dare be so exaggerated.
Cutting off heads casually is considered a fantasy to them.
It turns out Nine-State’s people are indeed sticky resurrecting undying monsters.
Moreover, they complete the path to perfection in such a balanced way; no wonder cultivation is so difficult.
"Painter... Painter, surely this person has great terror!"
With a broadened perspective, Night Emperor thoroughly understood why this individual, hidden in Nine-State, suppressed his realm for so long. In fact, it’s working on such an astonishing inverse system, one that strikes strongly in the late stage, a perfect ultimate civilization.
