Free Web NovelChapter 1679: Chapter 1294: Abnormal Human Template Upgrade! The Ancients!
As everyone knows, surviving through the method of Body Seizing has always been a patented trick of Returning to Truth Realm experts.
A very small number of Heavenly Human Realm experts can also achieve rebirth through Body Seizing.
But if the seized Body does not fit the person’s spiritual consciousness aggregate, it will eventually lead to endless trouble; they may never recover their former strength, or find it hard to climb to a higher Realm again. The main reason is precisely "Three Elements Incompatible".
When Players enter the Mixed Martial Arts World, each and every one of them is pure, unadulterated Xiao Bai who hasn’t even reached the Qi Gathering Realm, let alone anything like the Heavenly Human Realm. They rely entirely on the BUG caused in this world by the login device to succeed in Body Seizing.
Yet even if Players succeed in Body Seizing, they all suffer from Three Elements Incompatible to varying degrees. There is no such thing as the Three Elements perfectly matching a completely strange Body. Thus the Players’ Basic aptitude templates are generally worse than those of ordinary natives, and they are even less acknowledged by this world’s "Heavenly Will".
In this way, no matter how much the Players’ spirit is strengthened, if they do not solve the problem of Three Elements Incompatible, they fundamentally cannot break through into the Heavenly Human Realm. This is why the Breaking Realm Pearl can help natives rapidly break through to the Heavenly Human Realm, yet has little effect on Players breaking through to Heavenly Human.
As for the issue of breaking through to Heavenly Human, the Supreme Alliance has clearly long had Pioneers who, against almost impossible odds, opened up a path. Hence the rule that if you cultivate one Heavenly Rank Martial Arts or three sets of Earthly Rank Martial Arts to a Shocking the Ancient and Modern level, you may break through into the Heavenly Human Realm.
Judging from Jiang Dali’s current eye power and Martial Arts foundation, the principle behind this should be that when a person’s comprehension of a profound Martial Arts reaches the level of Shocking the Ancient and Modern, the philosophy of Martial Arts drives an increase in brain intelligence, and the breakthrough in Martial Arts then adjusts various functions of the Body. At a certain moment this causes the Player’s originally incompatible Three Elements to very quickly reach a subtle degree of harmony, which naturally allows Heavenly Human Communication and a breakthrough into the Heavenly Human Realm.
With this speculation in mind, he couldn’t help but develop an extremely strong interest in those earliest batches of "Pioneers" who explored this world inside the Supreme Alliance. He very much wanted to know who these people actually were, and what status and strength they each possessed now...
However, no matter how he thought about it, he believed that even if this group was strong, their level of strength should still be limited, definitely not having reached his current height. Otherwise, given the pressure he was putting on the families, this group would have jumped out long ago.
"This group, they’re all Pioneers who entered at some unknown time. Let’s just... call them—Ancients..."
As his thoughts flashed, Jiang Dali gave that group an alias in his heart. Then he gathered his thoughts, looked over at Ning Su and the other two who’d been staring at him eagerly, beckoned, and said.
"The rewards for you three can only be obtained if you follow this village chief to a quiet place. All of you, come with this village chief!"
Jiang Dali rose to his feet, and under Wen Chouchou’s eager attendance and calls, sedan bearers immediately rushed over carrying a luxurious carved-dragon vermillion-lacquered palanquin to welcome him.
He’s Jade Disc was brimming with Abnormal Power fluctuations. To avoid making too big a commotion when He’s Jade Disc expanded the meridians for Ning Su and the other two, Jiang Dali had no intention of doing this in front of so many observers at the Martial Arts Arena.
But the news that he was upgrading Huakai Jianhong and the others’ aptitude templates this time, as well as his public statement that he could help Players break through to Heavenly Human by transmitting Power, had certainly already spread rapidly through the Jianghu Forum exactly as he wished.
Presumably, in no more than one or two days, Heavenly Gate’s momentum would fade; the comeback situation that Shakyamuni had painstakingly built up would also see its effect greatly reduced.
And in this period, the representatives of several major families who had still not come to see him would, after this incident, most likely become unable to sit still any longer. They could not continue to just watch from the sidelines and would immediately send people to contact him, to discuss the arrangements for more Players to enter the Mixed Martial Arts World in the future.
...
Inside the Four Great Families, they truly were already getting a bit restless due to the many messages that had popped up on the Jianghu Forum.
Back in Leshan, after Jiang Dali proposed extremely "harsh" cooperation conditions to the Four Great Families, the upper echelons of the Four Great Families—as well as the high-level figures within the Supreme Alliance—had held more than a dozen large and small meetings over the issue of cooperation, the debates during which were utterly furious.
Originally, faced with the terrifying Martial Arts "Hell Soul Swapping Scripture" that Jiang Dali controlled, as well as factors relating to the He Family of the Holy Dynasty, the Supreme Alliance had gradually softened and was preparing to grit their teeth and agree to the demands Jiang Dali had raised.
Yet in the middle of this, Heavenly Gate Emperor Shitian suddenly burst onto the scene, threatening Black Wind Village’s position in the Martial World and giving the families a temporary chance to catch their breath and observe.
Thus, the Four Great Families decided to wait until Heavenly Gate and Black Wind Village—these two top-tier forces—finished wrestling with each other and it became clear who was the boss, before choosing sides and seeking the strongest cooperative partner.
Before that, they would naturally delay as long as possible on the various "harsh" demands made by the Black Wind Village Chief. They believed that while Black Wind Village was in a state of utter turmoil, he would have no time to press them too hard. If they agreed too early and Black Wind Village ended up losing to Heavenly Gate, with the Black Wind Village Chief dying at Shakyamuni’s hands, wouldn’t these families also have to suffer along with him and be settled with by Heavenly Gate afterwards?
Who could have expected that in just a single day, the major events that suddenly broke out within these two top powers—Heavenly Gate and Black Wind Village—would cause what had originally been a clear situation to become instantly shrouded in fog.
The Heavenly Gate Master Shakyamuni suddenly suffered an accident, seemingly encountering a mistake while Cultivating Martial Arts and going Devilish. After going berserk he even blasted apart and collapsed the Ice Palace atop Heavenly Gate’s Zi Zai Territory, whose cold was bone-piercing. And this unfathomably deep Heavenly Gate Master also disappeared from everyone’s sight at the first possible moment, hiding himself within that most mysterious Void Heavenly Realm, as if he no longer even had time to care about all the many fierce counter-measures set up by the Black Wind Village Chief, suggesting that his condition was somewhat critical.
By comparison, the various events manufactured by the Black Wind Village Chief not only completely shattered the advantage Shakyamuni had created with his gimmick of helping Abnormal People break through to the Heavenly Human Realm, but also placed him once more above Heavenly Gate.
Furthermore, the way Black Wind Village launched its offensive at just this critical juncture felt as if it had all been pre-planned in advance, forcing people to harbor all sorts of suspicions: was Shakyamuni’s sudden madness really a coincidence, or had he been secretly plotted against by the Black Wind Village Chief?
If it was the latter... then in the first war without gunpowder between Heavenly Gate and Black Wind Village, the victor had already been decided.
Taking all these factors into consideration, after the upper echelon of the Four Great Families convened an emergency meeting, they decided on the spot not to watch and wait any longer. They would immediately accept some of the "harsh" conditions previously proposed by the Black Wind Village Chief, so as to avoid being turned away if they came knocking after the fact.
Just as the horses of the Four Great Families were galloping non-stop toward the Dragon Tiger Gang to deliver their tokens of allegiance...
Within Heavenly Gate, Shakyamuni’s condition had indeed reached its most critical and dangerous point, and the overbearing awakening of the Phoenix Bloodline within his Body also startled another ancient and terrifying existence within Qin State, rousing it from its long secluded slumber...
