All-Heavens Game, the Strongest Player

Chapter 110 A Strange World for One

"Um, I have something to do. My mom's calling me home for dinner. Goodbye!"

As Zhang Chulan spoke, he turned and ran. At that moment, his only thought was to get away from Chu Xiu. He didn't want to think about anything else, such as joining the system, going undercover, or clinging to someone powerful.

He just wanted to get as far away as possible.

Although it's unclear whether Chu Xiu's casual remark about "hundreds of thousands" was true or false, the little cutie in the sky did indeed fall, and the foundation of the unfinished building was blown up.

If I had stayed by Chu Xiu's side, would I still be alive?

"Wait a minute, let me see your 'Golden Light Mantra' and 'Five Thunderbolts Orthodox Method'!" Chu Xiu reached out and pulled Zhang Chulan back from running away.

It uses the "Object Manipulation" skill of the "Divine Mechanic" class.

The class templates for this dungeon don't have levels, so although there are small and big skills, they are all available from the start.

And it starts at level one, so no additional learning is required.

所以，楚修的技能一栏，现如今是这样的：【技能：神机百炼（被动）、如花lv1（0/10）、白偶lv1（0/5）、黑偶lv1（0/3）、御物lv1（1/100）】

The skill level cap is uniformly set at level three.

Of course, it's just other people.

Chu Xiu still has no upper limit; he can level up to 30 levels.

"Look, boss!"

Without a second's hesitation, Zhang Chulan immediately cast the "Golden Light Mantra," covering his body with a ring of golden light, while simultaneously casting the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method," condensing a bolt of lightning in his palm.

This genuine expression surprised even Chu Xiu.

He thought to himself: No wonder she's shameless!

Unharmed, she focused her attention on the "Golden Light Mantra" and the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method," and said, "Completely different from martial arts in Chinese martial arts novels. The main difference is not 'true qi' and 'qi,' but the 'internal force' we used to cultivate may have been a wrong path!"

The strength of internal force depends on true qi, but internal force is not the same as true qi itself.

These are two easily confused, but completely different concepts.

"Internal energy in Jin Yong's world originated from the Qi cultivators of the pre-Qin period. It was a helpless choice made after the world's level dropped and they could no longer continue cultivating Qi. Just like in the era of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, facing the further depletion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, starting from Zhang Sanfeng, martial arts gradually changed from the original large-scale release of true Qi to the exquisite techniques!"

In Yue Buqun's era, didn't martial artists want to create a dragon with a single slap?

Did Zuo Lengchan not want his Frost True Qi to freeze several feet in two?
Of course I wanted to, but it was impossible in that era. Even projecting internal energy was difficult, as it was a constraint imposed by the natural environment that was hard for human power to break!

"What if we convert internal energy into 'qi' without changing the true qi?"

Wushang said, "To be precise, it's about restoring internal energy and true qi to their most basic form, 'qi,' thereby transforming cultivation into qi refinement. Could this lead to direct immortality cultivation?"

She always has many ideas on the path of spiritual practice.

However, before Chu Xiu could respond, Zhou Wushang shook his head again and said, "But in that case, wouldn't our painstakingly cultivated 'Golden Core' be useless?"

The Martial Golden Core is the ultimate product of the Tianlong world and the cornerstone of the world's ascension.

It has already reached the third-tier level.

The system is no weaker than the world.

"The essence of all cultivation is nothing more than 'nature' and 'life,' which are the body and the mind. Whether it's Qi or internal energy, their function is to enhance the body, which is the cultivation of nature. And our Golden Elixir, placed in the system of extraordinary people, is actually the perfect combination of nature and life. We may have gone even further than the Old Celestial Master!"

Chu Xiu analyzed rationally.

Then, he reached out and pinched Zhang Chulan's golden light, then poked the lightning in his hand, and continued, "Strictly speaking, we no longer have internal energy, only the Golden Core. As for them, they directly combine their techniques to draw upon a portion of the power of heaven and earth, achieving things that many martial arts cannot!"

"But I always feel like something's not right!"

"What's wrong?"

“I have a vague feeling that the combination of the ‘Golden Light Mantra’ and the ‘Five Thunder Orthodox Method’ could pave a path to heaven, ultimately leading people to a very special state!” Zhou Wushang said, “That is a system born from this world, which should theoretically be unobstructed, but the path is blocked by the rules of heaven and earth!”

She frowned as she said this. "It feels like the heavens and earth themselves are blocking my advancement, like the left hand fighting the right—it's very strange!"

Although Heaven and Earth have no consciousness, they have instincts. They instinctively drive the evolution of the creatures within them, and then use those who break free of their shackles as fulcrums to ultimately support their own advancement.

Humans and nature complement each other.

But here, the rules of Heaven are actually blocking the path of its own creation.

It's quite strange, like the body's immune cells attacking their own organs.

"Is that state what this world calls 'becoming an immortal'?" Chu Xiu frowned and said, "Doesn't that mean that the rules of this world are preventing living beings from becoming immortals and have blocked the path of cultivation? In that case, the 'Golden Light Mantra' and the 'Five Thunder Orthodox Method' that could originally lead to immortality can no longer lead to immortality?"

"This doesn't make sense!"

“Existence has its reasons, there must be reasons we don’t know.” Chu Xiu said, “If your cultivation reaches that level, suppress it for now, don’t try to become an immortal. I suspect there’s a huge pitfall involved, probably related to the Jia Shen Rebellion and the Celestial Master Ceremony!”

"Well, it's up to you!"

Zhou Wushang said, "However, even if you have mastered all eight of the Dual-Handed Techniques to the maximum level, it is far from enough to reach that realm! I guess you would need to have all eight of the unique skills at the maximum level to have a chance of becoming an immortal. Whether you can actually do it is still uncertain."

"That's true."

The two were chatting, leaving Zhang Chulan, who was standing to the side, completely bewildered.

Who exactly are these two people who keep talking about world rules and becoming immortals?

Why do they say that becoming an immortal isn't that difficult?

"They even know about the Jia Shen Rebellion, which concerns my grandfather, and I came to Quanxing to find his remains..."

After some thought, Zhang Chulan finally decided not to leave.

He decided to infiltrate Chu Xiu's inner circle first.

"Hey boss, do you need any underlings?" Zhang Chulan suddenly asked. "I can do all sorts of odd jobs, and I've been a professional errand runner for thirty years... If you just give me the nod, I'll call you 'brother' from now on!"

Zhang Chulan talked on and on.

Chu Xiu was completely dumbfounded.

"Fine! If anyone bullies you in the future, you can mention my name, but I don't care if it works or not. If you get beaten up for mentioning my name, don't blame me!"

Zhang Chulan: "..."

He suddenly realized that Chu Xiu seemed to be someone who could attract "cuties". If someone bullied him and mentioned his name, would that also attract cuties?

"By the way, speaking of errands, I actually have something I need you to do!" Chu Xiu said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan immediately replied, "I'll go through fire and water!"

"No need for that, it's a small matter, no need to make such a fuss." Chu Xiu smiled and said, "It's about this: I want to purchase a large batch of refining materials. However, I want the materials but don't want to pay for them, so I'll have to trouble you to help me pick up the goods!"

At this point, he paused.

She continued, "After all, as you know, little cuties keep falling from the sky whenever I go out. I'd feel really bad if I accidentally hurt a seller!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan remained relatively calm at first.

A sorcerer from the Quanxing sect!

It's perfectly normal to not pay when you buy something.

"May I ask who the seller is?"

"The World Association, Feng Zhenghao."

Zhang Chulan: "???"
