Chapter 578: System upgrade
The sixth-grade region.
The mountain forest from before had long disappeared. At this moment, Fang ping and the others had already revealed themselves.
Li Hansong and the others were on high alert as they patrolled the area.
On the other hand, Jiang Chao kept staring at Fang ping. After he was done, he would take a few bites of the energy fruit.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chao couldn"t help but say,""Fang ping, you"re not injured, are you?"
This guy wasn"t injured!
Now, however, Fang ping had been sitting there for an entire day without moving.
His eyes were also fixed on the sky. What was he looking at?
Fang ping, who had been silent all this while, replied with a straight face,""I"m observing the Dao!"
"Dao observation?"
"Observe the Dao of origin!"
Fang ping said in a deep voice,"in the sky, right above the energy flow, is the location of the chaos origin Dao of the king war zone." I"m observing the essence of the Dao here.
No matter how chaotic the origin Dao was, it was still the origin path of martial arts!
The Heavenly King suppression had taken a second path, and there were thousands of origin Dao paths here ...
"In the past, countless cultivators who walked their own paths died, resulting in countless essence DAOs being created here. In the end, all of the DAOs fused into one, forming the chaotic essence DAOs ..."
As he said this, Fang ping mumbled,"I"m thinking, the Dao of 10000 DAOs as one, is it teacher Li"s Dao or the Dao of chaos here?"
Teacher Li"s path of martial arts had cut off all other paths. There was only one path!
"And this chaotic essence Dao, isn"t it just another Dao? it"s not a mixed-up Dao, but a new Dao that has been born ..."
"It"s so complicated!"
Jiang Chao was dumbfounded when he heard that. He also had a headache and said,""It"s too profound, I don"t understand it. "Fang ping, you"re only a rank-6. You"ve already started researching this?"
The path of martial arts was not something middle-ranked martial artists should worry about.
"Middle-ranked martial artists should just cultivate according to the prescribed order.
Even if it reached rank-7 or rank-8, there was no need to be too concerned.
Only rank-9 martial artists were truly involved in this.
Of course, peak rank-8 martial artists had also begun to explore, but Fang ping was still far from that.
Fang ping had nothing to do and sat here the whole day just to study this?
Also, you can see through the chaotic energy layer?
In the king Battle Ground, the layer of the sky closest to the ground was the chaotic energy flow.
Above the energy flow was the chaotic and powerful essence Dao.
Beyond that ... No one had been there before, so it might be the regional wall of the outside world.
The king Battle Ground was like an inverted bowl, the regional wall had sealed the king Battle Ground.
As for whether there was anything else between the regional wall and the chaos origin Dao, no one was sure. Any martialist who dared to enter the area where the chaos origin Dao was located had all died.
Even at the peak, one would be attacked by those origin DAOs the moment they entered.
Fang ping glanced at him and said nonchalantly,"Is rank-8 very far from me?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Chao wanted to say something but stopped, and he was a little speechless.
Rank-8, was it far from Fang ping?
It didn"t seem far away!
Most importantly, we"re in the king"s battlefield right now. You"re not doing anything and are just observing the Dao here. Are you bored?
If he was really free, killing a few people and s.n.a.t.c.hing some things wouldn"t be a bad idea.
Fang ping did not explain and continued to stare at the sky.
Dao observation and whatnot ... Was pure nonsense.
However, he was sitting here perfectly fine, so he had to find something to do and a reason.
As for whether everyone believed him or not, that was not within Fang Ping"s consideration.
However, this time, the leveling up was really slow.
The last time he had leveled up, it had taken him an entire day. This time ... Fang ping guessed that it would take two days.
It was already the night of the 6th, and he had been sitting there since the 5th.
"I"m afraid I"ll have to wait until tomorrow ..."
Fang ping followed the chaotic energy flow and looked in the direction where it was even more chaotic. That was the inner regions. The others should have gone to the inner regions by now, right?
There weren"t many good things in the outer area, or it could be said that they had long been cleaned up.
Even if the terrain had changed, as far as Fang ping knew, the places with good stuff rarely appeared in the periphery.
To put it more bluntly, places sealed by powerhouses might interfere with the changes in the terrain. The more powerhouses sealed an area, the more fixed the terrain was.
Some places would not even change.
For example, in the rank-9 region, there were some palaces that were always there.
There was no other reason. The power that changed the terrain here could not affect those areas.
If some areas didn"t change, it meant that they were tombs created by powerhouses, and there would definitely be good things there.
"I wonder what new functions will appear in the system upgrade this time?"
"A great move that can unleash a peak level attack?"
"Or an invisibility spell?"
"Or something like the 72 transformations, making me smaller so that I can crawl into someone"s stomach and kill them?"
“……”
Fang Ping"s thoughts ran wild. Of course, he also knew that these were all just his imagination.
According to the system"s personality, it was almost impossible for it to give such a thing.
Fang ping had some understanding of this now. Everything the system gave him seemed to be related to martial arts cultivation.
"The concealment and disguise of one"s aura is a form of protection for a martial artist."
"The transformation of celestiality is to allow me to possess an even more powerful attack."
"A storage s.p.a.ce ... Is probably a necessity for experts?"
"What the h.e.l.l is this system ... The elevation of my mentality and vitality force is essentially still to make me stronger. Or rather, all of its functions are to make me stronger."
"No, the system is just a name I gave myself. This thing is actually just a few lines of data ..."
Fang ping shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Regardless, if there was a new function, it was more likely to make him stronger.
What kind of abilities could he gain to become stronger?
……
Just like that, Fang ping sat in this area for two days and two nights.
And for the past two days and two nights, he didn"t see any outsiders.
This area seemed to have become a no man"s land. Even the group of demonic beasts that had surrounded them before had run away. Perhaps they had gone to look for prey.
On the night of the 7th, Fang Ping"s expression changed!
It was done!
"What did it add?"
Fang ping could not wait any longer. He started to check it hurriedly.
[Wealth: 100 million points (converted)]
[Vitality: 9620Cal (9633Cal)
[Mentality: 1400Hz (1469Hz)]
[Destructive force: ??]（？？）
[Bones honed: 177 bones (100%), 29 bones (90%)]
[Storage s.p.a.ce: 100 cubic meters (+)]
[Energy barrier: 1 point/minute (+)]
[Aura simulation: 10 points/minute (+)]
"What the h.e.l.l!"
Fang ping was dumbfounded. What was going on?
A trillion worth of wealth had become 100 million. What did this mean?
10,000 wealth points had become one point. Was this a kind of conversion of new data?
Alright, Fang ping did not care too much about this. This was because the energy consumption of the energy barrier"s functions had changed accordingly, but there were no changes.
The only thing Fang ping knew was that the system was probably preparing to deduct his income. In the future, if he earned less than 10000, would it not calculate his account anymore?
However, it didn"t matter. Under 10000 Yuan, was that even money?
"That"s not right either!"
Fang ping suddenly had a bad feeling. In the past, 1000 wealth points were enough to increase mentality and vitality.
In this situation, at least one point would start, which was 10000 in the past. Could it be that recovering now would increase the consumption of wealth?
The corner of Fang Ping"s mouth twitched. "The system can"t be that bad, can it?"
Now that he had money, he wanted to raise the price?
After giving it a try, Fang ping frowned slightly. He did not know if the upgrade this time was good or bad. The increase in vitality did not change. 1 point of wealth could recover 10Cal.
However, the increase in his mentality ... 1 point was only equivalent to 1hz!
"Why is that?"
For a moment, Fang Ping"s head was throbbing. After a while, he seemed to have thought of something. He frowned and fell into deep thought.
Could it be that the system was unable to make ends meet due to the number of spiritual energy self-destructions?
Previously, after his spiritual power had been severely injured, his consumption had increased by a hundred times, which meant that it would be more difficult to recover his spiritual power.
Now, his normal recovery rate was 10 times higher than before. Was it due to the effects from before?
As Fang ping thought about this, he did not continue thinking about it. He looked at the new line of numbers that had appeared again.
"Destructive power? what"s that?"
"Still question marks? what"s going on?"
This time, other than the change in the data conversion, the only extra thing was this "destructive force," but Fang ping had no idea what this thing was for.
What a headache!
He was conflicted!
At the side, Jiang Chao, who was about to doze off, saw Fang ping yawning like a chameleon. "What"s wrong? Did you gain anything from the Dao observation?"
"No... Cough, cough, of course!"
Fang ping replied perfunctorily, still frowning. Should he give it a try?
But sometimes, it wasn"t good to experiment randomly when one didn"t understand.
This was the king"s battlefield. It wouldn"t be good if there were any problems with the experiment.
"The power of destruction ..."
Fang ping muttered to himself. What was this thing?
But just as he finished speaking, Jiang Chao looked at him in surprise and said,""You ... Don"t tell me you"ve recovered your memory?"
"What?"
Fang ping was even more surprised than he was. What did he mean?
"It"s the power of destruction!"
"You were talking about this, right?" Jiang Chao asked.
Fang Ping"s eyes lit up, and he nodded. You know about the power of destruction?"
"I"ve heard people say it a few times. " Jiang Chao chuckled as he said,"it"s actually imperishable substance. Destructive power is an ancient name. In the past, the old ancestor seemed to have mentioned this once.
The imperishable substance was actually a modern term.
The reason why it was called so in the modern era was that the cultivation environment of modern martial artists was worse and more difficult than before.
Everyone used the imperishable substance as a form of energy for recovery. That was why it was called imperishable substance.
In fact, the patriarch had said that a long time ago, the imperishable substance was used as an offensive energy.
"As you know, rank-8 golden body powerhouses integrate imperishable substance into their attacks. In fact, their attack power is even stronger. This kind of power is called destructive power.
It was a sublimation of power!
After it was fused with vitality power and mentality, it became celestiality.
The power of destruction can be regarded as the imperishable substance, but it can also be regarded as a kind of sublimation power after the imperishable substance fuses with other powers. "
"What?" Jiang Chao asked curiously,"have you recovered your memory?"
As he was speaking, the others also came over.
"Fang ping, you"ve ... Recovered your memory?" li Hansong asked, slightly excited.
Fang Ping"s gaze flickered. Jiang Chao said with a serious face,"Otherwise, you wouldn"t have known this ancient name. In fact, even the people in Star Town City didn"t use this ancient name.
"As the difficulty of cultivation for modern martial artists increases ... People no longer treat this power as an offensive power ..."
Fang ping suddenly said,"wait, you said that the difficulty of cultivation for modern martial artists has increased?" No, according to what I know, modern martial artists should have an easier time cultivating ... Of course, I"ve guessed before whether ancient martial artists have spiritual power cultivation methods, but I can"t determine it yet.
How can you be sure that it"s more difficult for modern martial artists to cultivate?"
Jiang Chao shrugged and said,"how would I know? my family"s patriarch told me." However, if you say that, it means that you haven"t recovered your memories. How do you know about the destructive force?"
"Why do you care how I know!"
Fang ping could not be bothered with him and fell into deep thought.
Was the power of destruction the imperishable substance?
In Fang Ping"s original impression, he had always regarded the imperishable substance as the same as life essence. In his opinion, this was a kind of restorative substance and energy.
But now, Jiang Chao was saying that this was an offensive power.
Thinking about it carefully ... It didn"t seem to be wrong.
"When a rank-8 golden body martial artist is fighting with an enemy, he can fuse the imperishable substance into himself. It can indeed make him more powerful.
Of course, not many people would do that.
"The cultivation of the imperishable substance is very difficult. Recovery is also very difficult. Most rank-8s, even rank-9s, actually use this as restorative energy.
A battle would consume too much energy.
"If they"re really exhausted, even rank-8 martial artists can easily die.
Rank-8 powerhouses were strong in their golden bodies and in their undying energy.
For example, life essence could be used to recover vitality, but how many people would do that?
Life essence could even be used as an energy stone to detonate. How many people would do that?
Life essence, in everyone"s eyes, was used to heal injuries and save lives.
"It"s even more difficult for modern martial artists to cultivate ... The imperishable substance that was used in battle in the past has now become a substance for everyone to heal. To turn a powerful attack into a healing substance, is this considered a regression in martial arts cultivation?"
"No, this only means that for ancient martial art pract.i.tioners, the cultivation of the imperishable substance is not too difficult. It can even be cultivated as blood Qi. Is that right?"
If the imperishable substance was hard to produce, then the ancient martial art pract.i.tioners would not use it as an offensive energy.
The only thing that could explain the difference between the past and the present was the rapid recovery of the ancient warriors "imperishable substances.
Thinking of this, Fang ping suddenly asked,"fatty, do you know how the imperishable substance is cultivated?"
Jiang Chao nodded."Of course I do. The cultivation of the imperishable substance is actually related to mentality and vitality. Mentality and vitality are the foundation of all power. They are the foundation of a martial artist"s strength!
This was the origin source of a martial artist"s power. As for the power of heaven and earth and the imperishable substance, they were all secondary products.
Everything else was built on the foundation of these two, and it was a new kind of energy that sublimated.
Now, the imperishable substance cultivated by rank-8 powerhouses was also based on this principle.
"When the Golden body is successfully forged, if you want to strengthen your golden body, you have to continuously use the mentality-vitality fusion to cleanse your golden body. During this process, a wisp of imperishable substance will be born ..."
"Ancient martial artists must have ways to cultivate their mentality!" Fang ping said in a deep voice.
"Why ..."
Before the fatty could finish, Fang ping said in a bad mood,"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending? If not, who would use the imperishable substance for battle? The reason why ancient martialists used it as destructive power without fear was that they could cultivate it quickly.
Without a spiritual power cultivation method, how could they recover quickly?
Don"t ..."
"Maybe it"s not a cultivation technique for mentality, but a cultivation technique for mentality-vitality fusion!" Fang ping suddenly said.
At this moment, Fang ping was extremely clear-headed, his eyes bright."Ancient martial arts pract.i.tioners might not even cultivate a single power, but they might cultivate both! "He cultivates both essence and blood, unlike us, who only cultivates qi and blood ..."
As he said that, Fang ping stood up and mumbled," 10000 DAOs as one, 10000 DAOs as one ... Teacher li, do you have the imperishable substance?
No, he did not!
He just wanted to cultivate his vitality according to his past habits and techniques. That was because everyone was cultivating their vitality, not even their psyche.
But what about him?
Was he only missing a cultivation technique, an ancient warrior"s cultivation technique!
If he had that kind of cultivation technique, would he be able to cultivate the imperishable substance?
Perhaps ... His 10000 DAOs as one was the true cultivation path of an ancient martial arts pract.i.tioner!
10,000 DAOs as one, life force elapsing ... If one could continuously cultivate the imperishable substance, would life force still be lost?
If he was constantly producing imperishable substance, would he be consuming the imperishable substance or his life force when he attacked?
Perhaps, we were wrong from the start!
The reason why he consumed a large amount of life force was because he didn"t have that kind of cultivation technique and couldn"t produce the imperishable substance, so he consumed his life force ..."
Even though Fang Ping"s explanation was very complicated, everyone still understood!
w.a.n.g Jinyang said in a deep voice,"you"re saying that the myriad DAOs as one is not a dead end!" "Perhaps some of the ancient martialists are also cultivating ..."
"No, there will definitely be! Otherwise, there wouldn"t have been so many words left behind!"
Fang ping said seriously,"the ancient martial arts era has already been severed from us. Logically speaking, these traces shouldn"t have been left behind." However, the theory of ten thousand DAOs as one could still be seen in ancient books. What did this mean?
It meant that perhaps in that era, this was not a cultivation method that was impossible to use!
If that was the case, would it be normal if the common cultivation methods of ancient martial art pract.i.tioners were not left behind, but this one instead?
"Just like now, if there"s a break in martial arts, do you think the methods of honing or some special combat techniques will be pa.s.sed down?
Those that can be pa.s.sed down must be the common cultivation methods!"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
Jiang Chao pinched his chubby cheeks and couldn"t help but say,""According to what you"re saying, perhaps the unification of 10000 DAOs is the most common cultivation method among ancient martial arts pract.i.tioners?"
"The possibility is very high."
Fang ping continued,"of course, that might not be the case." This was because the unification of 10000 DAOs required the Golden body to be formed first before the spiritual power could be manifested. However, if one"s spiritual power doesn"t manifest, how can one guide the forging of the Golden body?"
"It"s hard to say,"w.a.n.g Jinyang muttered," maybe the cultivation of ancient martial arts is different from now?" You said that you"re cultivating mentality-vitality fusion at the same time, so why can"t the Golden body and mentality appear at the same time?
Of course, all of this is just speculation. There"s no evidence to prove it at the moment. "
"Why are you bringing this up out of the blue?" w.a.n.g Jinyang suddenly asked.
Fang ping thought for a moment. Suddenly, a faint golden glow appeared in his hand.
This time, li Hansong was completely stunned. After a moment of shock, he was overjoyed and said excitedly,"Fang ping! You"ve recovered! As expected ... As expected!
You said that the stronger you are, the slower the recovery ..."
"He also said that what he resurrected is not the imperishable substance, but a power of a higher level!"
F * ck, why didn"t you say that?
Just talking about the front!
Fang ping did not say anything. Li Hansong immediately defended him, "He"s only rank-6, so maybe the power he can recover isn"t strong enough. When he reaches rank-7 or 8, maybe he can recover a higher level of power!
Oh right, I forgot that he could use the power of the heavens and the earth before!
"I"ve discovered that as Fang Ping"s strength increases, his control over the recovery of his strength is also improving!
First, his mentality and vitality force recovered quickly, then the celestiality, and now the imperishable substance. When he reached a higher grade, he might be able to recover even more advanced powers!
Perhaps, when he reached the seventh stage, he would be able to recover his original power?
Wasn"t level nine the cultivation of the origin?
"I think Fang ping will be able to recover his Origin Energy by then!"
Li Hansong was exceptionally clear-headed at this moment. He spoke eloquently and logically, filling in all the loopholes in Fang Ping"s earlier lies.
When he said this, old w.a.n.g was at a loss.
Was it?
It seemed so!
As Fang Ping"s strength increased, the power he mastered became more and more advanced!
First, it was the basic mentality and vitality force, followed by celestiality, which could only be mastered by rank-7, and now the imperishable substance, which was also the power of destruction.
What"s next?
Next is the power of origin?
Fang ping was really recovering continuously!
He was more like a resurrected martial artist than they were, because Lao w.a.n.g realized that their ability to resurrect had always been like this.
Fang ping was the only one who really seemed like a powerhouse who was constantly awakening.
"Is it because he was stronger in his previous life? Or is it because ... He"s the only one who has fully recovered, while we"re only partially recovered?"
At this moment, w.a.n.g Jinyang could not help but have such a thought.
At this moment, w.a.n.g Jinyang"s gaze was extremely complicated.
Have you recovered your memory?
"People like us might really not be able to recover our memories because we don"t have many abilities to recover. We might have died completely and only have the strongest abilities from our previous lives left.
What about Fang ping?
Fang ping might not have died completely in his previous life. He might have revived again with all his things and abilities!
Old w.a.n.g didn"t say a word, but his expression was extremely complicated.
Li Hansong was extremely excited. Fang ping might become the first person among them to recover completely.
Could everything that happened in his previous life solve the mystery?
Yao Chengjun"s expression also kept changing. The celestial Thearch ... Was it really him?
At the side, Jiang Chao looked around and felt a little depressed.
These guys were not normal!
At this moment, li Hansong seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly exclaimed,"Fang ping is really better than us! He can control the imperishable substance on his own. Old w.a.n.g, he"s not being pa.s.sive!"
w.a.n.g Jinyang suddenly sighed when he heard that. "I"ve realized."
One was pa.s.sive while the other was active. This already explained a lot.
The most important point was that it proved that Fang Ping"s control of his strength in his previous life was better than theirs. Even if he was reborn, he could still completely control his own strength.
"Heavenly Emperor ..."
At this moment, the same thought appeared in their minds.
Fang ping, on the other hand, was shocked. He was not shocked by the imperishable substance, but by ... How could iron head talk so much!
I haven"t even opened my mouth!
You"ve already made up all the things I didn"t think of and didn"t know how to say in my head!
Don"t stop me, I must give iron head the award this time!
He had tried to fool old w.a.n.g and the others, but now, it was almost impossible to fool them. However, once iron head said these words, let"s see ... Did old w.a.n.g want to kneel down before him and pay respects to the Emperor?
Fang ping looked like he was crying and laughing at the same time. "Really, other than making up some nonsense at the beginning, I didn"t make up anything else."
After that, it was mostly iron head who said it!
