Chapter 436 Creating Celestial Secret Weapons! Heavenly Relics! Preparations for Advancing to a Giant
In the border town.
Compared to the usual somber and hurried atmosphere, the newly arrived caravans and adventurers frequently glanced at the newly added white tower, discussing it animatedly.
The adventurers, who were originally from the border region, were particularly impressed by the vivid descriptions of yesterday's spectacle, which drew gasps of amazement that brought them great satisfaction, as if they were being praised.
What shocked them even more was that the Border Alliance Center, the military, and other major forces did not react at all and chose to turn a blind eye.
Inside the White Pagoda.
Whoohoo!
Despite being a closed space, the airflow was constantly accelerating and swirling, forming a terrifying storm that raged against the spider silk tower, but it was firmly locked in place and could not break through.
This also caused the internal wind disasters to escalate continuously, tearing everything apart!
Egg curiously stretched out its claws, and instantly a large number of slash marks appeared on them.
It pondered for a moment, then began adjusting its angle to repair its claws.
The mouse wanted to learn the "Storm Claw" technique, but the moment it touched it, it was shattered into a ball of crimson energy, which then reformed its body, its eyes wide with shock.
That's dangerous!
"How is that possible!?"
The many Silent Eagle pilots locked inside the mechanical sphere only showed their heads, looking at the figure in the center of the storm. They could hear the figure's thunderous breathing and their expressions were filled with fear.
A single swift wind scythe, even when moving freely, can easily shred them into dust.
And this was merely the rhythmic movement of the surroundings caused by the opponent's breathing; there were no pre-prepared skills, rituals, or secret treasures to amplify it, yet it possessed such power.
If it were an ancient giant whose body had been mutated and contained legendary qualities, they could understand it, since it was the power of rules.
However, Lu Yu was only at the peak of the Radiant Moon realm, without a transformed body...
To have achieved this level solely through physical strength, enough to rival giants, is the Secret Wudang of this small world truly that terrifying?
If they manage to get back alive, they'll definitely want to practice that top-tier secret martial art.
"I've been tricked by that idiot Morioka, now I can only hope for a second life..."
Just as they were trembling with resentment, they saw the gale begin to weaken and quickly turn into a gentle breeze. Before they could even catch their breath, a deep weariness washed over them, and they fell into a deep sleep.
Click click click!
The gust of wind struck the tower, instantly severing the spider silk that could cut through top-tier mechanical beasts and withstand storms, causing the entire white tower to tremble violently.
"Eek!"
Fortunately, the little spider intervened in time, weaving its silk to stabilize the structure and prevent it from collapsing.
"Eek!" The little spider handed over the brewed barley tea, curious about how its owner had managed to do it.
"The power of the Toad Ancestor is far more terrifying than I imagined!" Lu Yu patted its head and took a sip.
This time, because there was plenty of time and it was safe enough to be in human territory, Lu Yu was able to calm down and begin to study the power he had mastered.
Although it has the Eye of Truth to assist it, it is not yet omniscient and omnipotent. At this stage, knowing something does not mean that it can do it.
Only by aligning knowledge with action can we verify the truth.
Legendary skills are the manifestation of the rules!
The skill [Celestial Breath], after being corrupted by the Toad Ancestor, reached a balance with the power of the Pure White God and transformed into a semi-legendary skill, thus also coming into contact with some of the rules.
Lu Yu had always been accustomed to using the power of pure white radiance to crush his opponents, but this time, after using the Wind of Sloth, he discovered that this great being of "Divine Sloth" was far more mysterious than he had ever imagined.
Indolence does not equate to stupidity or ignorance; on the contrary, it is a kind of arrogance that looks down on the world.
When you stretch your mind infinitely, everything appears slow to you, and there are no secrets left. Naturally, you lose the motivation to observe things closely.
Why waste a few seconds when you can figure something out in a tenth of a second?
Over time, one naturally becomes lazy.
It was this very thought that almost influenced Lu Yu, causing him to fall into a state of laziness and want to lie down in the little spider's arms. Fortunately, he managed to break free through sheer willpower.
However, the gains were also significant. Not only did he gain a stronger control over airflow, but after deeply perceiving the indolent wind, Lu Yu could slow down his surroundings while maintaining his mindset, thus gaining several times the computational power.
This allows for a "bullet time"-like ability, enabling one to be more composed and proactive when facing formidable adversaries.
Or it can make the high-speed, overlapping spiritual energy of the enemy or certain secret treasures inert, thereby reducing their defense and making them easier to break through!
In short, it adds an armor-piercing effect!
For example, the spider silk of the little spider didn't change in hardness, but it was easily cut by these winds that added armor-piercing and inertizing effects, seizing its weakness.
If pure white is the ultimate light, representing speed, then the wind of indolence is slowness.
"Fast and slow are more like a process of the movement of all things, a counterpoint to time. Could it be that the feud between the Toad Ancestor and the Pure White God originated from this?"
Lu Yu had a vague feeling that if he could combine these two extreme powers, it might very well give rise to an even more powerful killing move.
Even further, transforming Celestial Breathing into a true legendary skill.
Unfortunately, when the Eye of Truth looked down, the psionic energy consumption increased exponentially, exceeding its own limit, so it had to be put on hold for the time being.
"However, based on this, the Sixty-Eight Arms Celestial Dragon Tree can also advance further!"
Lu Yu pondered in his heart, and had already figured out how to modify this secret martial art that was unique to him. It already had a rough outline.
After all, in the Secret Martial World, the Radiant Moon Rank, also known as the Secret Martial Limit Break Rank, exists only in legends, and he needs to deduce the path ahead himself.
Aligning it with the level of the eternal giants, Lu Yu named it the Heavenly Mandate Rank, meaning that it itself is the destiny of heaven.
After all, the will of an ancient giant can indeed replace the Heavenly Dao of a small world and suppress everything.
"But if breaking through the limit level allows one to condense a secret martial arts avatar, what qualities can be born from that?"
With the advancement of the main system, the combined effect will cause the combat power to surge to a terrifying level.
But thinking about the ritual materials needed for his and his six pet beasts to advance,
However, there are prerequisites for advancing to the Eternal Blazing Sun Rank.
The first step is to hone one's spirituality to its fullest extent, transforming the spiritual moon into a spiritual blazing sun.
This is not difficult. As long as Lu Yu advances, his pets can also advance. Moreover, the surge in spirituality can be suppressed through the ranch, so there is no need to worry about it getting out of control.
The second step is to master a legendary skill and have two skills that match your own path to reach the level of transcendence, or four or more skills to reach the pinnacle, which can lead to several ultimate skills.
It represents the pinnacle of skill!
Many people get stuck here, because mastering skills requires comprehension; one wrong step and decades of hard work will be wasted.
However, this is not difficult for Lu Yu!
Even the worst mouse can improve rapidly by relying on the blood and tears of its clones.
Egg and Paper Knight are almost ready, needless to say. Red Hare is arriving late, which will be a bit more troublesome, but with its terrifying computing power and proficiency template, it will catch up with the schedule soon.
As the team's leader, Little Spider is almost ready to meet the requirements for advancing to the True King rank.
The third step is to go against the current of the mother river and cross the Gate of Eternity.
A portal between illusion and reality.
Crossing it allows one to enter the third tributary of the mother river, bathe in its rules, and thus transform one's soul and spirituality; otherwise, mortal objects simply cannot contain the legendary qualities.
However, this process is too dangerous and may involve facing the test of all rules, leading to its own distortion.
Later powerful individuals also devised a method to collect the corresponding ritual materials and summon the rules that conformed to their own path.
Facing countless rules at once is definitely less successful than directly addressing the rules you meet!
Different types of pets require different rituals.
For pets with multiple attributes, you only need to collect materials for one main attribute.
For example, a pet with both blood and dark attributes needs to go deep into the Blood Sea ecosystem to find treasures that have been tempered by the Blood Sea's spiritual energy for over ten thousand years, such as Blood Sea marrow, Blood Sea divine stone, Blood Dragon spirit fish, and other top-tier treasures as offerings for the ritual. In addition, a large number of auxiliary materials and ritual nodes are added, and then the rules of the Blood Sea are summoned to envelop the pet.
First, transform your bloodline, and then find the dark element rules to transform.
Although not as expensive as the legendary special items, the materials required for a single ritual can easily cost hundreds of millions.
If they fail, they are all destroyed. Even those who have advanced will likely be assimilated by the Mother River. Even if they survive by chance, their spiritual foundation will be damaged and their lifespan will be greatly reduced.
As for the fourth point, when summoning rules, it is easy to attract some ancient beings on the same path, who may be swallowed up as nourishment. Of course, some lucky ones can also borrow their power and level up directly.
The Great Mother of the Church of the Fertility Moon originally intended to use the power of a similarly attributed evil god to directly advance to the Eternal Sun, which could be considered a shortcut.
Only after the complete transformation is it a pseudo-giant.
Lu Yu didn't know what changes would occur among the myriad races.
But the spiritual puzzle of human beast tamers will evolve once again, waiting to incorporate legendary traits and give birth to legendary organs.
Every move they make is an act of divine authority!
At that time, human beast tamers will truly master the power of beast taming, and the great power will belong to them.
Ritual can be viewed directly with the eye of truth, encompassing the past, present, and future, without the need to pay patent fees.
Or rather, he is the source of knowledge.
But materials can't just appear out of thin air; they have to be bought with real money.
Lu Yu was initially very anxious, but now he's no longer in a hurry.
"Where am I?" Morioka, who had been sleeping all day and was separated by a rusty ball, leaned against the corner. His eyelids trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.
He stared blankly at the tower made of spider silk and Lu Yu sitting cross-legged on the cloud of air currents, realizing his current predicament.
The league has abandoned him!
But he was unwilling to die like this, and said in a hoarse voice, "Lu Yu, you must know that I have not betrayed the human race. I know that offending you is a serious crime, but as long as you spare me, I will confess everything and hand over all my property to buy my life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yu turned his head, which filled Sheng Gang with hope and made him even more excited. He added, "I can also become your dog and take revenge on the family that is behind this..."
boom!
Before he could finish speaking, the spider silk beside him suddenly collapsed, transforming into a portal, and a figure slowly walked in. Luo Zisong, dressed in a black and white robe, walked in leisurely with his hands behind his back. Looking at Lu Yu's calm demeanor, he exclaimed in surprise, "You seem to have known I would come?"
"Who else could it be besides you?" Lu Yu countered.
"That's true. The Border Alliance has no connection with you. Li Wuxian went into seclusion yesterday and didn't leave the house. Nobody knew that Principal Shi had arrived. Chai Jia was completely overwhelmed by the materials you had. Even if you offered a suggestion or said something nice, he would scold you and kick you out. In the end, it was indeed only I who could come..." Luo Zisong said with emotion, then looked at Lu Yu and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"
"Of course, it's to rid humanity of these malignant parasites. Even if it costs me my life, I will illuminate the darkness leading the alliance forward. I will not bow to any power..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Luo Zisong's forehead creased with annoyance as he listened to the endless platitudes. Even he was being fooled. This kid was truly inhuman. He quickly said, "The Alliance already knows you've been wronged and has put pressure on the guy behind you to make him pay the price."
But you also need to understand that training a Silent Skyhawk pilot is no easy feat for the Alliance; each one requires a significant investment of money. Furthermore, while not all of them are from top-tier families, their combined strength is not to be underestimated.
It was supposed to be a warning, but Lu Yu, seeing Luo Zisong's winking and gesturing, instantly understood...
Cultivating something is difficult = it's valuable = it can be used to extort money!
This old man is really good at fleecing the alliance. I wonder how much he embezzled when he was the principal of Dayuan City. No wonder his slush fund is so full.
However, he never intended to kill these innocent drivers, not out of fear, but because it was unnecessary.
After all, this incident, strictly speaking, is a clash between two interest groups: the powerful families and the ordinary people.
But not all aristocratic families want to cause trouble; it's just that their positions dictate their thinking, and they need to show their stance. Otherwise, the pie is only so big, and there certainly won't be enough people to share it.
It depends on whether Lu Yu can handle things!
If you can't stand it, then enjoy the benefits that class brings, crush the common people, and when Lu Yu establishes his aristocratic family, absorb them into his ranks and make them your own.
If you can withstand the pressure, then you can place your bet on Lu Yu; a cunning rabbit has three burrows.
You're not losing out either way!
Where there are people, there are rules.
But as long as there are rules, Lu Yu can manipulate them.
He pondered for a moment, then said, "I need the Myriad Laws Flower from the Eye of Heaven Church, as well as the materials needed for my six pet beasts to advance to Eternal Sun. I'm not picky, as long as they meet the attributes."
"Should I go and move the Alliance Treasury over to you?"
"It's not impossible."
"..."
Luo Zisong almost choked to death, thinking to himself, "What kind of attributes do your pets have?"
Void, Strength, Dragon, Light and Dark... all rare attributes, making them more valuable than common attributes.
Especially the Flower of All Laws—it's not an exaggeration to say it's outrageous, but rather an outrageous statement.
This is a treasure of the [Eye of Heaven] Church, requiring endless high-level knowledge to nourish it, and repeated knowledge is ineffective.
It is an extremely rare promotion material that is applicable to any attribute and has a chance to comprehend other rules and accommodate second legendary traits.
This world is full of monsters, so naturally some people will want to try to incorporate multiple legendary traits in order to gain greater power.
But almost all of them failed, turning into ugly monsters. The only one who succeeded was the Pope who had the Eye of Heaven, who successfully mutated his eyes and heart, sweeping away his peers.
Even during the heyday of the Heavenly Principle Church, it existed as a sacred object of the church, reserved only for top meritorious officials. Now that it has fallen apart, it is estimated that only a few forces have it in their possession.
However, there's a high probability that the [Knowledge Enlightenment Society] will be there.
After all, this incident was indeed related to them, but getting them to spit it out...
Luo Zisong wasn't sure either, but he was prepared to go through the motions, and said, "This is going too far. At most, it's enough for the advancement of three pet beasts..."
"Can!"
Lu Yu readily agreed, which surprised Luo Zisong, who was then heartbroken.
Why did this kid do something so stupid? He could have raised the price!
However, this is, after all, misusing public resources for private purposes; it can't be done in the open, and it would be too unpleasant to talk about it.
Just as he was about to agree, he heard Lu Yu continue, "However, after investigating all night, I found that besides Sheng Gang, half of the drivers also had problems..."
"Evolution materials for four pet beasts." A refined voice rang out, and a glow appeared behind Luo Zisong as Principal Shi Weijun, with a lightbulb-shaped head, slowly walked in.
"However... I checked again later and found that they are all good men of the alliance, upright and righteous, so there should be no problem."
Lu Yu readily agreed, casually tossing all the pilots from the rusty sphere over, and generously said, "Take them away now!"
"..."
But Shi Weijun stood still, looking at the iron sphere formed by the Silent Skyhawk fighters not far away, and said, "These fighters..."
"It's all my fault for being so reckless with my Red Hare. It accidentally corroded and rusted these precious Silent Skyhawk fighters, and they're probably unusable now."
"To express my apology, I am willing to donate 100 million to the Alliance as research and development funding for the new Skyhawk Beast!" Lu Yu said, patting his chest.
Luo Zisong's mouth dropped open. He finally understood why this kid had agreed so early. So that's what he was waiting for!
Without the Silent Skyhawk fighter jets, what use are these pilots?
The so-called 100 million... is a joke. Even if you dismantle them all and collect the scrap metal at metal prices, it would still be worth at least 1 billion.
The alliance has lost at least 10 billion.
It might not sound as good as using it to cultivate giants, but machinery can be put to a good return as long as you invest money. Even if it is damaged, you can replace the parts and use it for a long time. The more you have, the more powerful it becomes.
If Lu Yu really manages to take them away, that would be a huge joke!
Shi Weijun remained silent for a while before speaking, "I can help you get the Flower of Myriad Laws. Since they did something wrong, they do need to pay the price, but the merit points you earned before need to be deducted."
"No problem. How did you know that the Machine God's nickname is Little Red Hare? My Red Hare is best at cleaning rust. Contributing to the Alliance is every citizen's duty!"
Lu Yu readily agreed, saying that points and money were just external things, and only things that could be converted into strength were meaningful.
He had already seen himself with the Eye of Truth, and the most suitable material for advancement was the Flower of Myriad Laws, without exception.
If we're going to use something, we should use the best; after all, it's not our money!
Click click click!
Red Hare, already carrying a bronze pocket watch, immediately turned the hands counter-clockwise upon receiving its master's command.
boom!
In an instant, a mysterious mechanical spiritual magnetic field descended, enveloping the rusty, silent Sky Eagle mechanical beast fighter group.
As if time had reversed, within a few breaths, all the rust on it was removed, restoring it to its original perfect state.
"Buzzing!"
The Silent Skyhawks instantly regained their senses and fled from this forbidden land that had brought them destruction.
This scene surprised Shi Weijun. He seemed to realize something, but he didn't say anything. He turned and left, leaving behind a parting remark:
"The Flower of All Laws will be in your hands in the next couple of days."
Luo Zisong quietly gave Lu Yu a thumbs up, then quickened his pace to catch up.
Throughout the entire process, no one paid any attention to Sheng Gang standing to the side, nor did they inquire about the so-called mastermind.
"How...ridiculous!"
Sheng Gang gave a self-deprecating laugh, a sad laugh, realizing how foolish it was to have joined the power struggle between important figures and to jump around like that.
Like an ant, easily crushed.
"Indeed, you're an idiot!"
The paper knight spoke, intending to offer some comfort, but chivalry forbade it to lie, so it said:
"Even if you die, your money belongs to our Lord. It is the price for your offense, and you need to make an offering to be redeemed. But it's not hopeless. For example, you can learn about..."
"Indulgences!"
At that moment, it was as if a new world had been opened for Shenggang...
In the end, he made it back alive.
The price was emptying his family's savings and incurring a debt of 300 million, while he bought 550 million indulgences from the Paper Knight.
Although he lost money, this time he felt his soul purified... and the weight of knowledge!
In the following period, Lu Yu received visits from several chambers of commerce and then made his requests.
Collect the materials needed for your pet to advance to a top-tier level!
Among them, the evolution materials for the Little Spider, Red Hare, Egg, and Paper Knight are hard to find, which is a headache for the Alliance, but there are still the Mouse and the Three Calamities Peacock left.
You only need to find any one of the matching attributes.
Lu Yu thought it would be simple, but he didn't expect that the replies he received would all be to do their best and ask him to wait a while.
Because of the lack of continuous gains and the inability to spend his money, Lu Yu became quite irritable. He originally wanted to refuse other people's visits and continue his research on Celestial Breathing.
But what I didn't expect was...
Darkmoon Merchant Guild.
As long-time customers, we will naturally give them a chance.
Unexpectedly, the agent turned out to be Huang Tiantian again. This time, she wore a blue and white porcelain cheongsam with white stockings, which accentuated her voluptuous figure, exuding a dignified yet alluring charm.
Lu Yu was also surprised.
How come this human king is everywhere?
In just two years, they've become Gold-rank Beast Tamers!
However, upon further reflection, he realized that this was likely the work of the Dark Moon Merchant Guild, to facilitate her connection with him.
Although this woman has no background, knowing him... isn't that Huang Tiantian's biggest asset and background?
However, Lu Yu finally received some good news from her.
