Chapter 120 The Dog-Beating Stick (Part 4)
If Bai Ke, as the protagonist, doesn't even have the face-slapping skills that are standard for those awesome protagonists in fantasy novels, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
Putting aside its other functions, the fact that the "Villain System of All Realms" allows Bai Ke to learn those divine skills and secret techniques is certainly very satisfying for him.
Those legendary cultivation techniques are too far removed from Bai Ke's reach, and they also require exchange. To date, Bai Ke has only accumulated a few thousand evil points.
Compared to those numbers that often have tens of digits, these few thousand evil points are not even a fraction of what they represent.
However, Bai Ke didn't care. Having just transmigrated, Bai Ke hadn't yet considered himself a cultivator whose dreams illuminated the heavens.
All he asks for is to have enough to eat and wear, to live a carefree life, to find a good partner, and if he could learn more, it would be even better if he could learn the amazing martial arts techniques from those books.
Now that he has truly grasped everything he dreamed of, if Xing Jian jumps out now and tries to ruin Bai Ke's good mood, then he'll make sure this old bastard never smiles again.
After such a long period of investigation, Bai Ke has roughly figured out the details of this world, which has already developed to its peak martial arts system compared to the world of Tian Long Ba Bu.
Although the Mountain and Sea Realm is of a higher grade and has a more complete energy quality and cultivation system, its ability to utilize energy is no match for the world of Tian Long Ba Bu.
Perhaps they are not on the same path. The ultimate goal of cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm is to merge with heaven and earth and reflect all the heavens. Therefore, they are only pursuing the supreme law and the Great Dao.
The cultivator system of the Mountain and Sea Realm, rebuilt from the ruins of the ancient cultivation world, is still in the process of being improved.
Take the current cultivation system from Qi Condensation to Mahayana as an example. Apart from the name being the same, how is it similar to the cultivation era?
So everything before the primordial spirit is just a process of energy accumulation and compression? Condensing qi into liquid, and gathering liquid into elixir—I wonder who created such a crude cultivation method.
Only after reaching the Nascent Soul Realm and comprehending a trace of the laws of heaven and earth can one truly be said to have embarked on the path of cultivation.
And what about those at the Golden Core Realm and even before? Compared to the great cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm who can fly, escape into the earth, and control supernatural powers, what difference is there between them and ordinary martial artists?
The only difference is the energy used by the two sides. Bai Ke used spiritual power to activate the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms near Lingjiu Palace, and the power of the palm that shattered the snow mountain was evident.
Compared to the powerful and unpredictable or fierce supernatural abilities that come after the Nascent Soul stage, there aren't many truly powerful skills before the Golden Core stage.
In Bai Ke's view, the cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm are more like a profession in an ordinary online game, with fixed leveling methods and fixed moves and routines.
It even includes Tian Ce Palace, Huangya Mountain, and Qianfo Temple, with one DPS, one tank, and one support/healer, truly a complete team.
The Primordial Spirit Realm is like leaving the beginner village. As your level increases, you can control more supernatural skills, but the fundamental thing is still the comprehension of the laws, which is also a necessary condition for continuing to level up.
For Bai Ke, the greatest significance of the martial arts techniques he brought from the world of Tian Long Ba Bu was to fill the gap in martial arts skills and techniques in the Shan Hai Realm before the Golden Core stage.
The previous use of the Lingjiu Palace stone wall to break through the barrier for elders like Liu Yiji who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage was essentially just taking advantage of something they had never seen before.
The first time you use this thing, it's for the purpose of gaining a general understanding and suddenly seeing another world's insights into nature, which will inevitably touch your heart to some extent.
If you see too many of them, they're actually just ordinary martial arts fragments. Their main purpose is to target disciples who are below the Golden Core stage.
Bai Ke knew that in the heart of the sect leader Ning Fengyi, the most important value of the world of Tian Long Ba Bu was its ability to accommodate beings at the highest Yuan Shen realm.
The Nascent Soul Realm is the first step in mastering the laws. Other worlds discovered in the Mountain and Sea Realm can only accommodate a Golden Core Realm cultivator at most, which makes them much less significant.
The cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm explore new worlds not only to plunder resources, but also to find a place where they can more easily comprehend the laws of nature.
If they are rejected by the world as soon as they break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, then why would they even bother to go to that world?
The Golden Core Realm and even earlier stages are simply about refining the spiritual energy within the body. The conditions in the Mountain and Sea Realm are not much better than those in smaller worlds.
This is why Xing Jian was dismissive when he heard that Bai Ke had discovered a world that could only accommodate those at the Golden Core stage.
In this kind of world, the Tian Ce Palace controls far too much, but compared to the sect-protecting formation that can safeguard the entire sect, this is really nothing.
Ning Fengyi knew the true value of the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, but she couldn't tell anyone, so she could only ask Bai Ke to exaggerate the other values of that world as much as possible.
Of course, this also coincided with Bai Ke's purpose. Bai Ke was very dismissive of Xing Jian's request to open the stone wall projection to Lin Xiu.
What a joke! Bai Ke possesses the Villain System of All Realms and has mastered so many techniques and supernatural abilities. If he were easily defeated by Lin Xiu, what would he be doing here?
"Ahem, Elder Murong, please calm down. Elder Xing is right. I once heard someone say, 'How can the canal be so clear? Because it has a source of living water.'"
This coincides perfectly with what Elder Xing said earlier. I also believe that the disciples in this sect are the fundamental guarantee for the long-term prosperity of my Tian Ce Palace.
"I, Bai Ke, am the chief disciple of Tian Ce Palace, yet I have never answered any questions from my junior brothers and sisters after all this time. I have no respect for a senior brother."
He turned to look at Xing Jian, nodded, and said, "Since Elder Xing has given me this opportunity, I won't begrudge this mere projection on the stone wall. However..."
Bai Ke smiled and extended his hand to Xing Jian, "Strictly speaking, this matter is actually a loss for me, but for the sake of my junior brother's cultivation, I won't say anything."
It's true that the stone wall can help people break through to higher levels, but everyone's opportunities are different. I was able to break through after just one glance, so can you guarantee that Junior Nephew Lin Xiu will also have that aptitude?
Xing Jian's face turned pale. This Bai Ke is not a good son. Isn't he implying that his son Lin Xiu is not as talented as Bai Ke?
We were both born of the same parents, but you, Bai Ke, only broke through because you had a great opportunity to see that stone wall. Otherwise, wouldn't you be at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage just like my son? What's there to be proud of?
He flung his hand away and snorted coldly, "I won't trouble you with the matter of aptitude, nephew. As long as you can prove that the stone wall can indeed help people break through, I will admit defeat in this bet!"
"If you can truly help Lin Xiu break through, even though it's to prove the effectiveness of this stone wall, it would still be a bargain for me. You can tell me your demands as well!"
