Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 217 Researching Cultivation Techniques Shatters the Soul and Terrifies the Dragon King

"Jerry, as far as I know, cultivation techniques are very precious. You're just giving us these techniques like this?" The Silver Dragon King asked in surprise after looking at all the cultivation techniques.

"Silver Dragon King, it's really nothing. Apart from some special techniques, I've already arranged for the Spirit Hall to make all the other techniques public throughout the continent," Jerry said casually.

"Why did you make this public across the entire mainland?"

"It's actually quite simple. The mainland is now at peace. In the past, people kept their cultivation techniques within their own families and rarely passed them on. Some of the better techniques were beyond the reach of their families because their members weren't talented enough to learn them. Gradually, no one wanted to learn these techniques, which led to many precious techniques being buried."

"The two great empires are now basically managed by the Spirit Hall, and you could say they are all subjects of the Spirit Hall."

"Moreover, cultivation techniques are only useful if someone successfully cultivates them; otherwise, they're just a piece of waste paper."

"What I can do is make all the techniques public so that everyone on the continent can learn them. As for the results of learning, that depends on individual effort."

"Moreover, the Spirit Hall has implemented compulsory education for all citizens. Only by learning more knowledge can these common people be enlightened, which will be more conducive to promoting the development of the continent."

"I've already made arrangements for the humans; now it's up to you to take care of the soul beasts."

"So these techniques are not important to me at all. The effects of practicing the same technique vary from person to person."

After Jerry finished speaking, he picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then stared at the Silver Dragon King, who was still in a daze.

Jerry's words undoubtedly had a great impact on the Silver Dragon King. In the past, everyone regarded cultivation techniques and secret manuals as treasures, but they ignored the fact that everyone's cultivation talent was different.

Those with good talent can learn the techniques in just a few days after receiving them, while those without talent may never succeed in cultivating them, even if given the top-tier techniques.

Moreover, Jerry's actions have many advantages. In the past, there were many talented commoners who were delayed in their cultivation due to a lack of cultivation techniques.

Now that Jerry has revealed his techniques, it will be possible to discover those with exceptional talent among the common people, nurture them, and eventually turn them into humanity's top combat force.

If humanity continues like this, the soul beasts will inevitably fall behind. Because of Jerry, there won't be a war now, but who can guarantee that Jerry won't ascend to a higher realm? Therefore, the soul beasts also need to hurry up and make arrangements.

The Silver Dragon King's idea was indeed correct, but she underestimated Jerry's goal. Jerry was someone who wanted to lead the world to advancement, and ascension was not what Jerry wanted.

Afterwards, the Silver Dragon King went back to make arrangements, while Brigitte stayed with Jerry to cultivate.

While Brigitte was cultivating, Jerry also began to cultivate Soul-Nourishing Grass and refine Soul-Nourishing Pills.

More and more ape-like spirit beasts are taking human form here. Jerry teaches them how to build houses, how to use spirit tools, how to cultivate, and a series of human ways of life and cultivation.

At first, many soul beasts were not used to it, but Jerry discovered that most of these ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts still had a appetite, so he taught these transformed soul beasts cooking skills and then opened a restaurant in the Soul Beast Forest.

Jerry carried a cooking manual, which was compiled by thousands of chefs in Wuhun City.

When it comes to food, there are always foodies in every world. They spontaneously formed a food association in Wuhun City and even created a chef ranking system that doesn't consider cultivation level or martial spirit, but only cooking skills.

This culinary manual has conquered the palates of people across the entire continent, making dealing with these soul beasts incredibly easy.

As a result, the restaurant entrance is always packed with all sorts of spirit beasts.

Because of their body shape, it is very inconvenient for them to eat at restaurants, so they all go to get plastic surgery to get a bite of food.

As time went by, more and more soul beasts took human form, and the original small village has now grown into the size of a small town.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Silver Dragon King opened a Soul Beast Academy in a small town, requiring all Soul Beasts to attend.

At first, the restaurant's food came from areas with hundreds or thousands of years of history, but then they discovered that this food was simply not enough to satisfy the needs of these ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Jerry handed over the breeding and planting techniques to Silver Dragon King, telling her to hurry up and arrange the relevant matters.

The Silver Dragon King was also cunning; he secretly went to the Fairy Queen and borrowed more than five hundred little fairies to help grow crops.

As for breeding, it's even simpler.

The ancient pig-type spirit beasts raised these pigs, suppressing their bloodline. As a result, these pigs were all very obedient; they would eat when told to eat and sleep when told to sleep.

This method also applies to other animals such as chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, cattle, rabbits, and some fish.

This operation stunned Jerry; even human society's animal husbandry isn't as impressive as yours.

Soul beasts actually have something in common with wild animals: eating raw food easily arouses their animalistic instincts, while eating cooked food for a long time will suppress these instincts.

More and more soul beasts are transforming into human form, and there are so many benefits to doing so.

Soul beasts that were initially unwilling to take human form began to do so one after another.

Previously, Jerry's bio-warehouse was mainly used for animal-type soul beasts. One day, a plant-type soul beast had reached the limit of its bloodline cultivation. Without an opportunity, it would not be able to break through no matter how much it cultivated.

On a whim, I went to try to transform into human form, and to my surprise, I succeeded. Moreover, I was able to continue cultivating after transforming.

As soon as the news spread, some plant-based spirit beasts that had cultivated to their limit rushed to transform into human form.

This has led to a sharp reduction in the number of trees in the Star Dou Great Forest. These trees play a vital role in the forest, especially in that they are constantly converting soul power, acting like a natural spirit-gathering array.

Although it's much slower than a real spirit-gathering array, the sheer number of them makes up for it.

Moreover, after the emergence of the fairy race, many of these trees still have the opportunity to break through their limits.

Now things are much better. They're all rushing to transform into human form, especially in the core area, where the concentration of soul power is high. Many large trees have cultivated to their limits, and this time they're all rushing to transform, directly creating an empty space in the core area.

It was called a forest because there were many trees. Now that they have all transformed, can it still be called a forest in the future?

Jerry quickly found the Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King was very happy to see the soul beasts thriving.

"Silver Dragon King, I know you're anxious, but you need to control the number of transformed soul beasts. Animal-type soul beasts are fine, but you need to control the number of plant-type soul beasts. Look at the core area, it's completely bare now, not a single big tree left. You need to know that the forest is the home that soul beasts rely on for survival." Jerry interrupted the Silver Dragon King, who was still daydreaming, and made her consider the practical issues.

"Uh, I didn't notice that before. I was only thinking about developing the Soul Beast race quickly. And after having your cultivation technique, their strength after transformation has increased several times, so I overlooked it." Looking at the bare core area, the Silver Dragon King said embarrassedly.

"I won't talk about those that have already taken human form. As for those plants that haven't taken human form yet, we need to control them and let them leave seeds and develop offspring. Only when their offspring have cultivated for at least a thousand years can they take human form."

Fortunately, Jerry discovered it early. The plants in the core area were strong enough to transform first. If he hadn't been careful, plants from other areas would have also transformed, and the Star Dou Great Forest would probably only be called the Star Dou Grassland.

"Jerry, I need your help. Could you research a cultivation method for transformed soul beasts? Your previous general meditation method can only be used by demon-transformed soul beasts. Without this basic cultivation method, their cultivation will be very slow."

During this period, the Silver Dragon King also discovered this problem. He could cultivate other soul skills and techniques, but he couldn't cultivate anything that involved the meridians. Moreover, there was no meditation method, so after transforming into human form, he still had to rely on instinct to cultivate, which was too slow.

"Silver Dragon King, I really can't do anything about this. Even if different races of soul beasts transform, their meridians are different. I've seen it before, and there's nothing in common at all. With so many races of soul beasts, if we were to develop a meditation method, let alone whether it's even possible, we don't know how long it would take."

"No, Jerry, listen to me. I didn't understand meridians before, but after reading your cultivation techniques recently, I've come to understand them anew. Soul beasts have different meridians depending on their race, but I've discovered a common point."

"Common ground? Are there any? Soul beasts have all sorts of messy meridians, yet they have common ground?"

"I'm not talking about all the commonalities, I'm talking about the commonalities of the species. For example, ape-type soul beasts are further divided into Fire Apes, Vajra Apes, Grass Apes, Gibbons, etc., but they can be regarded as the same species, the ape race. Because soul beasts have different attributes, specialties, and development directions, they will have many different meridians, but since they belong to the ape family, they still have common meridians."

"Oh, you've found time to research this lately?"

After listening to the Silver Dragon King's analysis, Jerry realized that he had indeed overlooked this point.

For example, he previously considered the Fire Ape, the Vajra Ape, the Grass Ape, and the Gibbon as four races, and if he wanted to develop a cultivation technique, he would need to develop four different techniques. However, after listening to what the Silver Dragon King said, he realized that one technique was actually sufficient.

"Yes, when you were experimenting with demon transformation before, you referred to them all as ape-like soul beasts. That's when I thought of that, and then I checked all the transformed soul beasts. According to your classification, they can be roughly divided into apes, birds, fish, dragons, cats, dogs, tigers, leopards, wolves, horses, cattle, sheep, rabbits, trees, flowers, grasses, and vines. As for some less common species, they weren't classified."

"Stop, I just want to ask, don't you have many categories yet? Almost twenty already." Jerry interrupted the Silver Dragon King, saying that if he didn't interrupt her, who knows how many categories she would list. Look at humans, there's only one category, but when it comes to soul beasts, they are easily divided into so many categories.

"This is already a small number. I initially divided them into more than a hundred categories, but I've already reduced them," the Silver Dragon King said quietly. She had been studying this for some time, trying to find commonalities and then categorizing them.

"Silver Dragon King, the development of anything takes time and cannot be achieved overnight. For example, human cultivation techniques were slowly researched and developed by generations of people. Even if you were to develop them for them, since you are of a different race, what you develop may not be suitable for them."

"Do you know why I want to implement universal education? It's to enlighten people's minds."

"Currently, only a small portion of the soul beasts have taken human form and are receiving education. We only need to teach them the methods, and over time, each race will produce some highly intelligent scholars."

"These scholars may not be strong in combat, but don't underestimate them. Their advantage is that they have their own thinking ability and can develop cultivation techniques and soul skills that are suitable for their own race."

"This is much better than developing cultivation techniques and soul skills one by one that may not be suitable for them. Although it may take a while, the truly suitable cultivation techniques and soul skills are developed by oneself based on one's own characteristics."

"So let's not force things to grow too fast, okay?"

Jerry's words were concise, and the Silver Dragon King understood instantly. Indeed, what one develops oneself is what suits oneself best. Soul beasts gradually develop their own soul skills through years of training and combat. Although some soul beasts' soul skills are not very strong, they are undoubtedly the most suitable for themselves.

After figuring it out, the Silver Dragon King stopped worrying about cultivation techniques and soul skills.

I was indeed too hasty before, which caused me to miss many things.

After being awakened and recovering from his injuries, the Silver Dragon King saw many unfamiliar things, as well as the powerful beings Jerry and the Fairy Queen. There were also two gods on the human side, and he learned that Jerry had already clashed with the divine realm. Therefore, the Silver Dragon King became anxious.

The Silver Dragon King looked at Jerry, who remained as calm and collected as ever. Yes, even if the God Realm were to attack now, they would first target Jerry. He wasn't worried, so why should I be? But judging from Jerry's expression, he seemed confident and not at all worried about the God Realm.

"Jerry, besides the God King, the God Realm also has First-Level Gods, Second-Level Gods, Third-Level Gods, and many Hunters and Priests. Every Hunter or Priest is at level 100, like Qian Daoliu, Poseidon, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. If they went to the God Realm, they would be equivalent to Hunters or Priests. So the overall strength of Douluo Continent is far inferior to that of the God Realm right now. Aren't you worried?"

"What's there to worry about? Let them all come down. The world consciousness is no pushover now. After the world advanced, its control over the rules is even stronger. If those hunters or priests dare to descend to the mortal realm, they'll be instantly sent back to their origin. Back when they ran to the God Realm, the world consciousness had just been born and couldn't do anything to them. They've been holding their breath for a long time. Now let them come down and see who dies first."

"You actually know about world consciousness?"

"Of course, I've cultivated to this level, how could I not know that?"

"But God cannot be killed; if they find an opportunity, He will rise again."

"That was before. Now if they dare to come down, I'll shatter their souls directly. There was a Rakshasa god before, whose soul I already destroyed. He'll never have a chance to revive."

"What? You can shatter a divine soul!"

Upon hearing Jerry mention shattering the divine soul, the Silver Dragon King stood up in astonishment.

What is the soul? It is the origin of a god. Killing a god's physical body is easy, but if the soul is immortal, they have the opportunity to be resurrected.

This is why the God Realm has always sealed the Golden Dragon King; firstly, they dare not kill him, and secondly, they cannot kill him.

If the people of the divine realm kill the Golden Dragon King's physical body, the other half of the Dragon God's soul within the Golden Dragon King's body will follow the aura to find the Silver Dragon King, and eventually merge with the Silver Dragon King, making the Dragon God's soul complete, and ultimately the Dragon God will be revived.

The resurrection of the Dragon God is no small matter; the Dragon God's power far surpasses that of these god-kings.

Back then, they gathered the power of all the human gods to split the dragon god in two, but unexpectedly, even being split in two did not kill the dragon god's body, and instead transformed into the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.

Then, after sacrificing the lives of hundreds of gods, the Golden Dragon King was finally sealed, while the Silver Dragon King escaped to the lower realm.

The world consciousness did not harm the Silver Dragon King, but that did not mean it would not attack them. Therefore, no one dared to pursue them to the lower realm, which allowed the Silver Dragon King to escape.

If Jerry says he can shatter a god's soul, doesn't that mean he can kill any god, including the Dragon God?

A hint of fear crept into his eyes as he looked at Jerry.

She didn't think Jerry would lie to her; there was absolutely no need for it, because Jerry was far more powerful than her.
