Chapter 14 - Chapter 14

[The method you conceived should actually be considered Contemplation. The reason why Contemplation efficiency was low before was the lack of better objects for Contemplation.]

[You plan to integrate your Martial Dao Will into the painting you create, allowing others to perceive the Martial Dao Will you possess simply by viewing your artwork.]

[This should also count as a method of Contemplation. A painting imbued with your Martial Dao Will is undoubtedly a superior object for others to Contemplate, isn't it?]

[October, 105th Year of the Dawn Calendar, after various experiments conducted by the Research Institute, a Material was finally found that could perfectly bear your Martial Dao Will.]

[This Material was manufactured into special paper using specialized techniques.]

[November, 105th Year of the Dawn Calendar, you finally completed a Contemplation Diagram.]

[The diagram contained only one mountain, one person, and one sky.]

[The mountain was solitary, steep as a sword, piercing the sea of clouds and reaching straight to the firmament.]

[The mountain body was dark green, like iron, devoid of plants and unstained by dust, as if it had stood here independently since ancient times, rejecting all attachment.]

[The person stood on the Peak, hands clasped behind their back, gazing at the sky.]

[His figure was tall and straight, his robes dark as ink, unmoving in the howling mountain winds, seemingly fused with the solitary Peak.]

[The sky was vast, the sea of clouds surging, yet they seemed to grovel beneath his feet.]

[You named this diagram the Solitary Absolute Contemplation Diagram, and it incorporated half of your Martial Dao Will.]

[As for why only half, we must discuss what your Martial Dao Will actually is. You named it'Solitary Absolute Peak - Unrivaled Supremacy.']

[This Martial Dao Will was condensed from the insights, experiences, and life journey you accumulated during your simulated life.]

[The half you incorporated into this painting contained the loneliness of being unrivaled throughout that simulated life and the imposing spirit of confronting Heaven and Earth.]

[The remaining half, of course, was the imperial aloofness and the will of unrivaled supremacy from unifying the world.]

[If that half were also integrated, and someone gained insight into it, it might bring you unnecessary trouble.]

[Once the Contemplation Diagram was complete, things became simple. You found several Third Realm Martial Artists for verification.]

[As soon as they looked at your painting, they were suppressed by the Will within the artwork and froze in place, only breaking free from the state after a full minute.]

[By this time, they were drenched in sweat.]

[Fortunately, these individuals were considered strong-willed. After six hours, they managed to memorize the diagram in their minds, allowing them to Cultivate Contemplation at any time.]

[The subsequent test results delighted everyone: these people's Mental Energy strength had indeed increased, and even without viewing the original, simply Contemplating the diagram memorized in their minds allowed their Mental Energy to slowly improve.]

[However, as the time spent Contemplating increased, their Mental Energy would gradually become more sluggish.]

[Subsequently, more and more Third Realm Martial Artists came to view the Contemplation Diagram, and only then did everyone clearly sense your power.]

[Just like the first few people, they were instantly shocked by your consciousness the moment they saw your painting, feeling the unrivaled loneliness and peerless imposing spirit contained within the artwork.]

[They sighed, saying that you truly deserved to be the Federation's number one Transcendent, as they could barely withstand your Mental Energy oppression.]

[As one Third Realm Martial Artist after another branded the Contemplation Diagram into their minds, the Martial Dao Will in your painting diminished bit by bit. Fortunately, you continuously replenished it.]

[This continued until all Third Realm Martial Artists had acquired the Contemplation Diagram.]

[Afterward, they entered a period of frenzied Cultivation.]

[With the aid of various Spirit Medicine provided by the Federation to accelerate Mental Energy recovery, everyone's progress could be described as rapid.]

[Speaking of Spirit Medicine, your research and drawing of the Contemplation Diagram over the past few months required enormous consumption of Mental Energy. If not for these Spirit Medicine, the time it took you to create the diagram would have been even longer.]

[And your Mental Energy strength reached 140 points through this continuous cycle of consumption and recovery.]

[In fact, since the appearance of Spiritual Qi, there have been quite a few Spirit Medicine capable of enhancing Mental Energy, but they are extremely rare, and their effect is not very noticeable for people whose Mental Energy strength exceeds 10 points, let alone for you.]

[The Federation had previously considered using these Spirit Medicine to create various elixirs in specific proportions to enhance their efficacy, but due to various other research projects, they never had the energy to invest in this area.]

[January, 106th Year of the Dawn Calendar, someone other than you finally managed to raise their Mental Energy strength above 20 points. Unsurprisingly, it was a Mental Energy Transcendent.]

[However, merely reaching 20 points of Mental Energy is not enough to control the Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth; sufficient Qi and Blood must also act as a medium. Based on speculation, the Physical Body strength needs to reach 300,000 kilograms.]

[This is simple. Achieving the Physical Body enhancement required by the Mental Energy level can be done by stacking resources.]

[February, 106th Year of the Dawn Calendar, under the effect of resources, that Mental Energy Transcendent quickly raised their Physical Body strength to 300,000 kilograms.]

[Upon reaching this level, the Qi and Blood throughout the body can surge up a hundred meters, which, combined with powerful Mental Energy, brings immense pressure.]

[Actually, you can do all of this, but unfortunately, you can only be treated as an anomaly. The fact that you can do it does not mean others can, so it cannot be used as a reference.]

[After meeting both requirements, they were indeed able to control the surrounding Spiritual Qi, just as speculated. This Spiritual Qi not only increases the defense of the Qi and Blood but also increases its destructive power.]

[According to tests, they can control the Spiritual Qi within a radius of a thousand meters when exerting full power.]

[However, perhaps because they just acquired this ability, the enhancement to various aspects is not strong, or rather, they might be lacking Martial Skill or similar things.]

[Just like the various ultimate techniques and Cultivation Technique used to deploy Internal Energy in the simulated world.]

[But this is something that needs to be researched later.]

[The most important thing now is: what should this stage be named?]

[After discussion, it was decided that since the Qi and Blood surging a hundred meters resembles a true Dragon soaring into the sky, and controlling the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is like a true Dragon manipulating the power of Heaven and Earth, this Realm was named the Qi and Blood Martial Way Fourth Realm—Qi and Blood Like a Dragon.]

[March, 106th Year of the Dawn Calendar, many more people reached the Fourth Realm of Martial Dao, Qi and Blood Like a Dragon. Unsurprisingly, most were Mental Energy Transcendent.]

[After all, Mental Energy Transcendent generally have a Mental Energy strength of around seventeen or eighteen points after becoming Third Realm Martial Artists.]

[If Physical Body Transcendent held the advantage in the early stages of the Qi and Blood Martial Dao, then Mental Energy Transcendent gained a unique advantage when Breaking Through the Third Realm to reach the Fourth Realm.]

[This is because Cultivating the Fourth Realm requires the Physical Body and Mental Energy to advance simultaneously, and Mental Energy is harder to improve than the Physical Body.]

[However, after reaching the Fourth Realm, Energy Transcendent also began to exert their strength, not in terms of Cultivation, but in the creation of Martial Skill.]
