Chapter 78: Chapter 75: The Truth of the Turbid Calamity

Eighty-five billion Spiritual Essence!!!

Just how heaven-defying is this Emperor Sword?

The Qiankun Cauldron takes ten billion Spiritual Essence, and the Imperial Seal fifty-two billion Spiritual Essence.

Added together, it requires one hundred and forty-seven billion Spiritual Essence to simulate them.

Let’s directly round it up to one hundred and fifty billion Spiritual Essence.

Here, in one hour, Wanxiang can roughly absorb around twenty billion Spiritual Essence.

Which means, in about seven to eight hours, it’ll be enough to simulate these three.

The premise is, nothing unexpected happens.

(Manipulate Wanxiang to absorb the surrounding muddy energy, but avoid the Eye of Muddy Energy.)

Lin Qianxuan issued a command, letting the game character begin to move.

Wanxiang spun around rapidly, absorbing the surrounding muddy energy.

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (surprised): This Divine Machine can actually absorb muddy energy… so familiar a sensation, its material is….]

Seeing Emperor Feng speak, Lin Qianxuan also wanted to learn more from him.

[Lin Qianxuan: It’s the Emperor’s Armor, Professor Wang of Celestial Craft Institute made this Divine Machine using the Emperor’s Armor, aiming to purify the muddy energy and put an end to this chaos calamity.]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (sighing): I didn’t expect anyone could reshape the Emperor’s Armor, but the chaos calamity can’t be ended.]

[Lin Qianxuan (puzzled): Why?]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (helplessly): Because it’s not something controllable by humans, the Nether God wants to seize control of this land through the chaos calamity during the fracturing of the realms, and further encroach upon the Outer Realm. As long as the Nether God doesn’t relent, what power do we mortals have to resist?]

This wasn’t the first time Lin Qianxuan had heard that name.

Previously, he always thought it was just a symbolic existence.

Until the Nether God’s avatar appeared in the last cycle, he hadn’t known it seemed to truly exist.

It appears to truly be the mastermind.

[Lin Qianxuan: Just what is the Nether God?]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor: It is an Innate Spirit born from muddy energy before the creation of heaven and earth, born sacred and eternal, possessing the power to control muddy energy.]

[Lin Qianxuan: So, it’s what incited you to open the Eye of Muddy Energy?]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (helplessly): No, there was no incitement, it was my own doing.]

[Lin Qianxuan: Then you deserve to die!]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (closing his eyes): I never thought, the Nether God, defeated by my ancestors, could be so powerful. I thought relying on the Emperor Sword left by my ancestors, along with my own power, was enough to resist the Nether God. I intended to, like my ancestors, steal its power to gain further longevity, who would have known it would discover that my ancestors had shattered the void and left this world….]

Well then, case solved.

Emperor Feng overestimated himself, trying to emulate Emperor Shenwu, to steal power from the Nether God.

As a result, the Nether God discovered Emperor Shenwu had already fled, and then it sought revenge without any qualms.

No, revenge was even incidental, it seems the intention was to use this platform to invade the Outer Realm?

What is the Outer Realm?

The game character was regarded by the rebels as someone from the Outer Realm.

So the Outer Realm is the world where their Earth is, along with other worlds?

From the very start, the goal was to invade?

So this disaster was no accident…

Speaking of which, was Emperor Shenwu that formidable?

Even the Nether God had been defeated by him?

[Lin Qianxuan: Can you still survive?]

Lin Qianxuan asked this to see if it was possible to rescue Emperor Feng, to make him a help in fighting against the Nether God.

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (sighing): My Primordial Spirit has been almost entirely devoured by the “Muddy Me,” even if you have a way to destroy it, I wouldn’t last more than half a month.]

So is it a certain death situation?

His death is deserved, but it’s a pity he can’t be a help.

[Lin Qianxuan: Can you suppress your Muddy Me and hold on for two days?]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor: That’s not much of a problem, it is currently focused on breaking the protection left by the Imperial Seal, to fully control this body. In the short term, I won’t be completely muddied, are you planning to do something now?]

[Lin Qianxuan: Don’t worry about that, while you can still talk, tell me about two high-level martial arts you know first!]

Taking advantage of the fact that Emperor Feng still had some consciousness, Lin Qianxuan decided to squeeze his last bit of value.

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor: The cultivation of Divine Martial Arts requires a long time, any temporary practice will have limited effect.]

[Lin Qianxuan: Don’t worry about that, just tell me.]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (sighing): There are many top-tier Divine Martial Arts in the Armory, ones that can be quickly mastered. I would first recommend the Carefree Pavilion’s [Carefree Finger]….]

Emperor Feng quickly explained a Divine Martial Art in full.

It is a finger technique, refining the index and middle fingers as weapons, until they can break through anything, destroy any barrier.

A rather useless martial art.

Because its concept is based on the premise that a person’s Divine Energy is limited, it only tempers two fingers.

Lin Qianxuan doesn’t lack Divine Energy. He can temper his entire body, so he just directly cultivates the Immortal Divine Body Skill.

[Lin Qianxuan: Is there anything more advanced, something that Emperor Shenwu studied?]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor: Our ancestor, in the creation of the armory, had dabbled in all the martial arts under the heavens.]

[Lin Qianxuan: Then choose one he specialized in.]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor: The only martial art our ancestor practiced continuously was the Immortal Divine Body Skill.]

Well, back to square one!

[Lin Qianxuan: What’s next?]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (pondering): Ten Directions Celestial Saint Observation Technique, Supreme Sword Technique, Heaven and Earth Opening Divine Saber Slash, Nine Heavens True Thunder Body Tempering Technique, Wuxiang Earth Fire Demon Suppression Skill…..]

In one breath, Emperor Feng listed more than a dozen martial arts.

Just by looking at their names, Lin Qianxuan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Each one seems to be the top of the top martial arts.

No wonder Emperor Shenwu was so formidable.

He practiced so many top-tier martial arts, and it’s apparent he didn’t just taste and stop, but had considerable mastery in all of them.

Immediately, Lin Qianxuan asked Emperor Feng to discuss each one.

Undoubtedly, all these martial arts require starting from scratch to achieve results.

Divine Energy refinement cannot yield results overnight.

It requires years of accumulation for a qualitative change.

Even if the game character has a tenfold effectiveness increase and infinite Divine Energy, there’s no way to master a cultivation technique in just a day or two.

If there’s time to spare, it’s better to cultivate the Asura Sword Technique and accumulate more Spirit Swords.

Lin Qianxuan sighed and began having the game character cultivate the Asura Sword Technique.

The game character accumulates Spirit Swords rapidly, able to condense one every second or two.

Staying here for seven or eight hours, it’s possible to fill the acupoints around the body, adding up to tens of thousands of Spirit Swords without any issue.

Though these things don’t seem particularly powerful in attack.

But there’s no helping it.

With insufficient Refining God cultivation, naturally, the condensed Spirit Swords aren’t as potent.

Even this result is only possible thanks to the tenfold effectiveness increase of Supreme Martial Arts; under normal circumstances, the Spirit Swords the game character condenses might not even match the Sword Qi casually condensed by Radiance.

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (reminiscing): The Asura Sword Technique of the Asura Sect, this Sword Technique emphasizes not relying on external objects, using Divine Energy as the sword. After achieving Great Success, it can condense 1,390,000 Spirit Swords in the 1,300 acupoints around the body. Once unleashed, the Spirit Swords can cover the sky, and the union of ten thousand swords has the power to split mountains and sever rivers. Before our ancestor’s martial arts skill reached Great Success, he almost lost to the patriarch of the Asura Sect…]

Here, the difference between the Otherworldly and the locals becomes apparent.

If Lin Qianxuan remembers correctly, according to existing theory, a Xuan Country person’s body seems to have only about 800 acupoints.

However, this doesn’t mean his cultivation limit for this Sword Technique will be low.

After all, people are different. Lin Qianxuan has the Dragon Bloodline, with acupoints that are naturally much larger than others, one could account for dozens of acupoints, with a limit far beyond what the Asura Sword Technique describes.

With Emperor Feng babbling on, Lin Qianxuan began to slightly advance the timeline.

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor: In just half an hour, you’ve condensed so many Spirit Swords, such abundant Divine Energy, nearly comparable to our ancestor back then. It’s a pity the Emperor Sword is damaged, otherwise, if it could refine them, the Spirit Swords you condense might be even more powerful.]

This statement caught Lin Qianxuan’s interest.

He originally wanted to replicate the Emperor Sword; naturally, he cares about its function.

[Lin Qianxuan: The function of the Emperor Sword is to purify Divine Energy?]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor: Yes, any Divine Energy flowing through the Emperor Sword can be condensed a hundredfold. If you have ample Divine Energy, with the Emperor Sword assisting in cultivation, an ordinary person couldn’t catch up even on a Divine Ship. It was thanks to the Emperor Sword that our ancestor reached such martial arts heights within a century.]

[Lin Qianxuan: Wasn’t the Emperor Sword created by Emperor Shenwu?]

[Emperor Feng/Muddy Spirit Emperor (sighing): Of course not. It was crafted by Yang Zimo, the first director of the Celestial Craft Institute, using Outer Heaven Divine Iron combined with a Divine Soul from an Innate Holy Being. To say the least, the Divine Iron was merely an aid; the crucial aspect was the Divine Soul of that Innate Spirit. That Divine Soul was so powerful that even the Emperor Sword itself couldn’t contain it all and was split into two, forged into the Emperor Sword and the Emperor’s Armor, respectively. If I guessed correctly, the Divine Soul in your Divine Machine is part of it. I always thought our ancestor took it with him along with the Emperor Sword’s Divine Soul, but it turns out he left a portion for us. It’s a pity I didn’t know before, otherwise… alas, time, fate, destiny…]

The name Yang Zimo is one Lin Qianxuan has seen for the second time.

Previously, he learned from Gongsun Yue that Yang Zimo was the divine figure who developed the Sun Core.

He didn’t expect Yang Zimo also crafted the Emperor Sword and the Emperor’s Armor.

“No wonder Vientiane is so formidable, with such a background,” Lin Qianxuan murmured in admiration.

Lin Qianxuan continued to advance the plot while having the game character practice the Asura Sword Technique, gathering more information through Emperor Feng.

Soon, the game character’s Vientiane accumulated enough Spiritual Essence.

Fifteen billion three hundred million.

A bit more than Lin Qianxuan initially expected.

“Then next, it’s time for the world to feel pain!!”

Lin Qianxuan grinned, showing a somewhat fierce expression.
