Chapter 616: Chapter 616
At that time, Ji Jingqiu had no qualification to wield it, just as he does not now.
Only when he steps into the Heavenly Human, comprehending the Heaven and Earth Law thoroughly, will he possibly uproot it.
But to truly uproot this saber, the issue of Hel’s real body must first be resolved, or it would be like releasing a tiger back into the wild.
The saber’s humming echoed ceaselessly, as if just awakened from a slumber, carrying a hint of curiosity, it inquired about Ji Jingqiu’s achievements on the Ancient Road.
Ji Jingqiu gave a simple account of his achievements on the Ancient Road, emphasizing the process of setting foot on [Wuwang Mountain].
The long saber fell silent for a moment.
After a long time, it resumed with a saber hum, conveying its thoughts into his heart,
[You’ve done very well, surpassing the predecessors, I see the hope of the future in you.]
[What are you planning to do next?]
"The junior plans to tread the old path once taken by Senior He and others, to ask about the Dao in the Federation’s Hundred Veins."
[The correct choice, if you can continue on this path, it will benefit your Martial Arts greatly, now and in the future.]
[I remember, the art you cultivate is the Formless Dao Body, do you plan to continue down this path?]
Ji Jingqiu answered solemnly, sharing his recent epiphanies.
This time, the long saber was silent for a moment before it slightly trembled, issuing a humming sound.
[To have such insight at this stage, your Martial Wisdom is no less than that of He and the others. Since you wish to walk this path, I will point out another for you. Have you continued to contemplate the Unity Spell I passed on to you?]
This Secret Technique which enhanced the might of his attacks helped him a great deal, yet it had a fatal flaw: the backlash of each attack would climb as his realm elevated.
The side effects were evident.
It was only because his physical body has always been far superior to his peers that he was able to turn this Secret Technique into a norm, maintaining its operation at all times.
So far, the reason why his attacks are extremely heavy owes much to this Secret Technique.
[I will transmit to you another mental method, which can be cultivated in conjunction with the Unity Spell. Back then, when He refined the Hundred Scriptures, he relied on this Secret Technique to simplify from complexity, eventually bringing everything into unity and forging his own Martial Arts foundation.]
Ji Jingqiu was delighted.
This Secret Technique was the "subtraction" he needed for the future!
[Go, someone is waiting for you.]
After passing the Secret Technique to Ji Jingqiu, the sound of the saber humming gradually subsided, and this Divine Weapon of He Donghuang from the past once again retracted its sharpness and fell silent.
Ji Jingqiu bowed in respect, then gave one last glance at Lady La’s real body beside him, before turning to leave.
If his guess was not wrong, the "someone" mentioned by Senior Xuan Yi should be Elder Mu.
Dr. Chen said indifferently, "How’s the calculation of Ji Jingqiu’s data coming along?"
"The results are out. His Life Force measurement actually reached 7.98!" exclaimed Researcher A, "This is only 0.02 away from the Four Chain’s standard value of 8!"
"Oh?" Dr. Chen became interested, "And how many Chains has he broken now?"
"It’s confirmed with Ji Jingqiu, currently only two!"
Dr. Chen’s gaze flickered,
"The Life Force standard value for two Chains is 2, yet he has surpassed the norm by four times. According to the calculation method recorded in the Saint King relics, when he breaks all Six Chains, it will also be four times that of a typical Six Breaks."
Researcher A’s eyes widened, "Four times? The Life Force standard value for Six Breaks is 32, so wouldn’t he reach 128 after breaking through Six Breaks? And when he accomplishes Body Unification, his Life Force will increase by another tenfold—"
At this point, he gasped sharply.
The "Life Force" system they were discussing originated from the relics of the Divine System of the Saint King.
In the eyes of the Saint King lineage, many systems are mixed, but Life Force and mental strength always permeate throughout, forming the source of strength for all beings.
After the Deep Red Laboratory deciphered the contents of the relics, it accessed the Federation Martial Artists database, quickly summarizing the corresponding data.
It revealed that in the perspective of the former Divine System of the Saint King, only the Chains Realm that solidified a Life Position could qualify as a "Combat Power".
Or to say, a [Standard Warrior] eligible to campaign in the Otherworld, adaptable to various harsh environments.
This standard level of Life Force strength was defined as [1].
Thereafter, for each additional Chain broken, Life Force would double.
This was consistent with the Federation Martial Arts where for every progression into a heavier Chain, there was an essential leap in life quality.
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 points of Life Force.
Corresponding to the Six Chains.
Ji Jingqiu, upon breaking the Six Chains, would reach 128 points, and upon completing Body Unification, his Life Force would rise to a terrifying 1280 points, whereas the Life Force of a typical Six Breaks was only 320 points.
At this point, the difference in multiples was no longer as obvious as the vast gap between pure numbers.
From 2 to 7.98 could still be considered fourfold.
But from 320 to 1280...
How many times does it exceed 7.98 - 2?
Dr. Chen pondered: "His standard is different, you can’t compare him with the standard value of the Chains Realm, you have to look higher. This way, you’ll see that he still has something short, still room to progress."
" Heart Image? The strongest few Hidden Dragons couldn’t possibly match him in physical body in the future, right?" murmured Researcher A.
Completing Six Breaks and achieving Body Unification is the largest transformation of the physical body before becoming a Heavenly Person. Even though Heart Image Warriors may improve, it is very slight, unlikely to bridge over this gap of more than 900 Life Force.
"It is Heavenly Person. Upon breaking the Heavenly Human Boundary, Martial Artists will forge a Heavenly Person’s Dharma Body, the minimum standard value of Life Force at this level is 2000 points!" Dr. Chen said seriously, "He still has much room for improvement!"
Researcher A silently wiped off a bead of sweat.
Were these even human words?
Although he had not continued down the path of Martial Arts, with his status, he was naturally aware of the gap between Heavenly Persons and those below them.
