My monster derivative skills are the orthodox ones

Chapter 345 The Five Giants of the Federation

"Senior Mu, you absolutely must come to the Cultivation Alliance! Your two derivative skills are completely useless in the Mechanical Alliance," Xia Fei said excitedly. "But the Cultivation Alliance can offer you the highest level of treatment..."

"What about the butcher Ding's skill in dissecting an ox?" Wan Ran asked.

“Then you need to find me an animal.” Li Ye brandished the kitchen knife in his hand. “I can precisely peel the flesh from their bodies without the slightest error.”

"Can we only peel off flesh and blood?" Wan Ran asked.

“Yes.” Li Ye nodded. “With my current cultivation level, I can turn a city into a skeleton in three breaths.”

"..." Wan Ran shook his head and said, "Mu Ye, even if we go on an expedition, we don't need to slaughter the natives. What we want is conquest and the resources of the other civilization. You should restrain your murderous intent."

“I know, I rarely kill people.” Li Ye brandished the cleaver in his hand. “Most of the time, the skill of butchering an ox is used for cooking.”

"Anything else?" Wan Ran smiled and continued to ask.

“That’s all,” Li Ye said.

“Mu Ye, let’s be frank. Joining the Interstellar Federation requires all your information, and hiding anything will do you no good,” Wan Ran said. “We will arrange appropriate treatment for you based on your abilities.”

"Based on strength?" Li Ye laughed. "My main strength is the cultivation of the Mahayana Realm. I don't think there are many Mahayana Realm cultivators on your planet, right? Does that mean I can directly enter the Central Core?"

"..." Wan Ran chuckled, "The Federation has no shortage of mechanical bodies at the Mahayana Realm, and can mass-produce them. If your trump card is only the Mahayana Realm cultivation, you won't be able to enter the Central Hub."

"Really?" Li Ye frowned and looked at Xia Fei. "What position will the Cultivation Alliance assign me?"

“An elder of a higher rank than me,” Xia Fei quickly said. “Moreover, your planting techniques will earn you the heartfelt respect of every cultivator.”

"So, in the Cultivation Alliance, I'm just a farmer!" Li Ye laughed and shook his head. "Since you all rely on strength, let's settle this with our skills! My Mahayana Realm might be different from what you think of. In the world I transmigrated to before, I stood at the very top of the pyramid. If the treatment you've arranged for me doesn't satisfy me, I don't mind carving out my own territory."

"..." Wan Ran looked at the arrogant Li Ye and shook his head inwardly. "Mu Ye, don't worry, the testers will be here soon. As long as you are strong enough, we will definitely treat you well."

Even if we can't succeed on this planet, there are still those civilizations we've conquered.

If you are still not satisfied with the civilizations we have conquered, the Federation will give you its full support to expand your territory; the land you conquer will be yours alone.

The Demon Suppression Tower is more powerful than me, so it's one thing to treat me like a tool, but you guys can't even ascend to the universe, yet you expect me to work for you?
If I want those empires, why don't I conquer them myself?
Looking at Wan Ran, who was speaking eloquently, Li Ye suddenly felt unconvinced.

With his Golden Immortal cultivation, he single-handedly defeated all the Olympian gods. No matter how cautious he was, his mindset could never be the same as before.

At this time.

The gates to the test site opened.

More than a dozen cyborgs wearing exoskeletons walked in. Their equipment was clearly more advanced than Wanran's, with an additional exoskeleton over their simulated skin, making them look like they were wearing a suit of armor.

Obviously.

Ordinary physical modifications cannot support the power output of those at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, so they have to rely on external attachments.

Li Ye glanced at them and sighed silently. The kitchen knife was right. Transforming himself into a mechanical body was a wrong path!
The moment Xia Fei saw the person who had arrived, his pupils contracted sharply: "Director Wan, is it really necessary to deploy the city guardians?"

Wan Ran said, "This is the order from above. Mu Ye is a Mahayana cultivator, and apart from the guardians, Haihua City has no high-level forces that can match him."

"I'd like to see which guy is so arrogant that he needs to be tested by us guardians?" The leading city guardian turned his gaze to Li Ye. "I love picking on tough guys the most."

The words have not yet fallen.

There was a loud crash as metal parts fell to the ground.

Like the previous testers, more than a dozen city guardians were dismantled into parts by Li Ye, without taking him even a second longer, and the protective shields didn't even need to be raised.

Wan Ran was dumbfounded. Xia Fei stared in disbelief, looking at Li Ye as if he were a god.

The entire police station was completely silent.

Li Ye grabbed the guardian's head, who had just spouted nonsense, and shook his head: "It's only because I'm not familiar with this world that I'm sure I would have killed you based on that one load of bullshit you just said."

"You...you are definitely not at the Mahayana Realm!" The man's mechanical body was destroyed, and his eyes flashed wildly. "You...what realm are you at?"

"Idiot?" Li Ye tossed his head aside. "Wanran, I want to speak directly with the highest leaders of the Federal Parliament."

"Wait a moment, I'll ask for instructions immediately," Wan Ran said hurriedly. After Li Ye destroyed more than a dozen city guardians with overwhelming force, he knew that the person in front of him was beyond his ability to handle. Most importantly, he hadn't even caught Li Ye's movements just now.

With that, he slipped away.

He compiled a copy of the test site's video footage and sent it to his direct supervisor.

then.

This urgent report was quickly relayed up the chain of command, reaching the central government...

……

The council speaker was an old man with a sage-like appearance. Four people sat opposite him, who looked to be about the same age as him.

Of the five people, apart from one who was a cyborg, the four highest-ranking members of the Federation, including the Speaker of the Council, were all mortals with no trace of mechanical modification.

It's hard to imagine that in a civilization dominated by machines and where cultivation is completely suppressed, the highest level consists of four cultivators who have not been modified at all, with the mechanically modified person having the lowest status among the five.

“Terrifying speed and power,” the council speaker said.

Li Ye's every move was captured by a high-speed camera and then broken down frame by frame.

“His physical strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Mahayana Realm cultivator, and he didn’t use any techniques or spiritual power, relying entirely on brute force,” the Federal President said. “I suspect he may have already successfully transcended the tribulation.”

"Impossible!" the Vice President said. "We have conquered several cultivation worlds, and the Heavenly Court has been destroyed. How could anyone ascend to immortality?"

Furthermore, if he truly were a time traveler, even if he began cultivating from the first world, he would only have cultivated for ten years. How could he possibly ascend? I'm more inclined to believe he awakened a special derivative skill, or rather, that he received the inheritance of the Witch Clan, whose cultivation methods are specifically designed to develop the physical body.

“Old Liang, with demonic creatures, anything is possible,” the Federal President said. “What if the Heavenly Court still exists?”

"If he has ascended, why should he continue as a skywalker?" the Vice President said. "Wouldn't it be better to be a free and unfettered immortal? What are we waging war for? Isn't it to seek the path to ascension!"

"His words and actions certainly don't resemble those of an immortal who has transcended tribulation and ascended to heaven; they're more like those of a nouveau riche who has suddenly gained power," the council chairman said. "They fit the behavioral characteristics of a time traveler who has suddenly gained power from a demon."

"How should we deal with him? Should we talk to him?" the vice president said. "If we don't take action, given his strength, it would probably take the use of interstellar warships to test his full power."

"Let's meet with him first, test the waters, and temporarily grant him any request," the Federal President said. "Send Lao Gao to him and try to meet all his conditions."

"Aren't we going to continue testing his derivative technologies?" the vice president asked.

“The cost is too high.” The federal president shook his head. “Even if we were to try, we couldn’t do it on a planet. We’ve worked so hard to maintain the planet in its current state. Once it’s destroyed, it will be difficult to repair. Besides, I suspect he has the same goal as us.”

"Ascension?" the council speaker asked. "Usually, aren't time travelers always thinking about escaping the control of the Demon-Suppressing Tower?"

“When someone becomes stronger, their thinking changes,” the Federal President said. “I see ambition in his eyes. If we don’t meet his demands, he might really cause trouble. In the world he traveled to before, he probably really did reach the pinnacle…”

“We also control demons, so suppressing him shouldn’t be difficult!” the Vice President said.

"Why suppress him if we can utilize him? Let's appease him! If we really can't subdue him, then we'll suppress him." The Federal President looked around at everyone and smiled. "Isn't it more in our interest to let him expand our territory? As time goes by, those civilizations that possess demonic creatures are becoming more and more powerful, and the expeditionary force is already somewhat overwhelmed."
