Chapter 423: Chapter 369: The Mystery of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo

Accompanied by over 30 hours of Cultivation Technique practice, the Divine Spirit Root within Zhang Yu slightly trembled, as if it was swallowing the technique as sustenance.

At this moment, upon looking at the Dao Seed Spectrum in Yu Shu, the Dao Seed named Green Lotus Sword Embryo finally emerged.

Green Lotus Sword Embryo (Spirit Root) Level 2

“Finally succeeded.”

Seeing this scene stirred Zhang Yu’s heart. This Divine Spirit Root from Bai Zhenzhen was his first military-grade power, filling him with infinite anticipation.

Next, he continuously sensed the information contained within the Dao Seed, while gradually testing the role of this Divine Spirit Root in his Dantian, beginning to comprehensively summarize the mysteries of this Divine Spirit Root.

In fact, over these days, although Zhang Yu hadn’t deeply explored the abilities of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo, during the continuous operation of the Cultivation Technique to nourish the Spirit Root, he could more or less perceive its roles.

At this moment, through sensing the Dao Seed, it worked twice the result with half the effort, allowing him to gradually understand the myriad mysteries of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo.

“The characteristic of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo at level 2 remains adaptation, but it’s a far more powerful adaptability than during the Heavenly Spirit Root period.”

“This adaptation, or enhancement, is a long-term adjustment to the body. For instance, if Azhen diligently practices the Sword Control technique, the Green Lotus Sword Embryo continuously adjusts her body, enhancing in tiny increments her response speed, thinking speed, mana collection efficiency, and so forth, constantly enhancing her Sword Control capabilities, progressing rapidly in swordsmanship.”

“However, if you adapt to everything, adapt the body to the effects of various drugs, adapt to external pressures, adapt to the influence of Taoist Skills…”

“Gradually, drugs would find it difficult to affect the cultivator, making them useless. If the body isn’t damaged during cultivation, then various cultivation methods will similarly struggle to transform one’s self. If Taoist Skills hardly influence one, their power cannot be bestowed…”

“Adapting to everything will only slow cultivation advancements or even lead the cultivator astray.”

Zhang Yu mused: “The adaptation of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo isn’t mindlessly comprehensive but a selective adaptation.”

“The direction of selection is determined by the state and intent of the user.”

“For instance, if Azhen wants to conceal her Spirit Root, it gets progressively enhanced with stronger concealing abilities over time.”

“Later on, when she focuses on practicing Martial Arts, her martial aptitude began to be enhanced by the Green Lotus Sword Embryo.”

“In high school, Azhen awakened the ability of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo to deduce, showcasing this adaptive enhancement. At that time, she could deduce techniques, altering Level 10 effects to achieve outcomes more suited to herself.”

“Now with the Green Lotus Sword Embryo being used by me, what direction will it propel me towards?”

Originally, Zhang Yu believed that the Green Lotus Sword Embryo would strengthen his Civil Engineering Department techniques through his repeated part-time jobs and overtime work.

But soon, he realized he was mistaken.

“The Green Lotus Sword Embryo… is enhancing my Chain Technique Map set?”

Initially, Zhang Yu felt perplexed about this, but he soon began to comprehend the reason.

“The Green Lotus Sword Embryo gravitates towards the path that cultivators focus on advancing… conducting adaptive enhancement.”

“And does the Chain Technique Map set drastically change my physique and various attributes during its switching process?”

“This drastic change post-set switch triggered the Green Lotus Sword Embryo’s adaptive enhancement, making it assume that I’m growing in this direction? Therefore, it conducts adaptive enhancements on my body to boost the set’s effect.”

“The previous True Spirit Root seemed incapable of this. Is it only achievable after evolving into the Divine Spirit Root?”

“Switching to the University Sacred Body, the True Spirit Root starts to enhance my cultivation technique ability…”

“Switching to the Civil Engineering Sacred Body enhances all sorts of resistance, reduces life consumption…”

“Switching to the Qi Vein Flow strengthens mana recovery speed, reduces consumption efficiency…”

Zhang Yu could feel, although this process is very subtle and very slow, the Green Lotus Sword Embryo truly is conducting adaptive enhancement according to the direction of the set.

Realizing this, a wave of joy surged within Zhang Yu. He recognized that the Green Lotus Sword Embryo’s assistance to him would be unprecedented.

Because the adjustment and enhancement done by the Green Lotus Sword Embryo to the body are long-lasting.

“Does this mean that even if I switch from the University Sacred Body to the Civil Engineering Sacred Body, the enhancement of my learning ability by the Green Lotus Sword Embryo is still maintained?”

“Wouldn’t this mean… with the Green Lotus Sword Embryo’s existence, I can retain part of the set’s effects at all times?”

Zhang Yu always valued the effects of the Chain Technique Map set.

But the biggest issue with the Chain Technique Map set is that only one set can be used at a time, which is difficult to integrate with each other.

But if through the Green Lotus Sword Embryo’s enhancement, his body could inherently possess part of the set’s effects, it would undoubtedly bring a qualitative leap in Zhang Yu’s strength.

Zhang Yu let out a deep breath, suppressing the joy and excitement in his heart, and began to sum up the effects of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo.

“For me, the biggest effect of the Green Lotus Sword Embryo is enhancing the effects of my sets.”

“Secondly, even when I remove the set, I can still retain part of its effects.”

“But ultimately, how much can be enhanced, how much can be retained… is still unknown. It requires months, or even years of gradual cultivation to know the result.”

“Hmm, and some abilities that have already reached the Foundation Establishment limit even after switching sets; it seems the Green Lotus Sword Embryo can’t enhance them any further.”

“For example, the medicinal load capacity brought by the University Sacred Body at the Foundation Establishment peak, and its digestion capacity at the Foundation Establishment peak, the Green Lotus Sword Embryo seems unable to further enhance them.”

Zhang Yu could feel that due to the myriad effects of the various sets, the adaptability enhancement of the Qinglian Sword Embryo to different effects was clearly going to be very different. This requires him to slowly become familiar with and perceive in his future cultivation.

But regarding this, Zhang Yu just showed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. Isn’t the feeling of understanding one’s own profound mysteries a kind of delightful trouble?

“With Yu Shu and Qinglian Sword Embryo, how strong will I be in a few years?”

“It really makes one look forward to it.”

Of course, there’s also the concealment and deducing ability of the Qinglian Sword Embryo; the former brings powerful combat and stealth capabilities, while the latter makes the Cultivation Technique one level stronger.

There is another thing that Zhang Yu feels curious and anticipative about, which is the next upgrade of the Qinglian Sword Embryo.

“To upgrade Qinglian Sword Embryo to Level 3, it needs to be nurtured by 10 Level 30 Cultivation Techniques.”

“Whew… that seems to be something only achievable at the Golden Core Stage, right?”

Zhang Yu shook his head. Although he was filled with anticipation about this, he also understood that it was definitely not something that could be achieved in a short time.

Especially when there’s insufficient strength…

“If Azhen’s Qinglian Sword Embryo is upgraded too early and exposed under the eyes of the Seven Emotions Divine Monarch, it might not be a good thing.”

…

At the simulation site.

As class time ended, Gongshu Jin and Ying Xin slowly left this place along with others.

Gongshu Jin glanced at the crowd, curious in his heart: “Zhang Yu has been taking leave these past few days, what’s he been doing?”

“And yesterday at the banquet, he only focused on eating and didn’t seize the chance to get to know some friends from other schools.”

“Although eating is important, yesterday was a rare opportunity…”

Gongshu Jin always felt that Zhang Yu’s behavior seemed a bit lackluster.

“Yesterday at the banquet, it was full of top university competition participants. Each one is a top student among top students, holding rare resources from other universities, and many are more formidable than Zhang Yu and Ji Yuanshu.”

In Gongshu Jin’s view, having one more friend of this kind means one more bit of potential on the Immortal Path.

Not to mention exchanging resources from each other’s schools, even the number of people to borrow money from increases.

Like yesterday, he added more than a dozen friends, claiming a small boost in Immortal Path potential.

Just then, Gongshu Jin’s eyes focused, looking towards a figure standing outside the simulation site.

“That person is…”

He remembered the person, it was Wen Wuya from Sky Sword University, someone who participated in the Flying Sword competition along with Bai Zhenzhen, another descendant of the Divinity Transformation Divine Monarch.

Even though Wen Wuya’s popularity on the Spirit Realm Network this time wasn’t as high as Bai Zhenzhen’s, Gongshu Jin still remembered Wen Wuya’s competition ranking was above Bai Zhenzhen.

“It seems to be around 15th place?”

“Why did he come to the simulation site?”

Wen Wuya was here to find Bai Zhenzhen.

Just before the representative team from Sky Sword University was about to leave, Bai Zhenzhen disappeared again.

So he came to the place where Zhang Yu had classes, wanting to see if Bai Zhenzhen was nearby.

Just as Wen Wuya’s gaze swept over the students of the Foundation Establishment class, a figure walked up to him, it was Ji Yuanshu from the 6th floor.

Being the student with the best grades and the highest background there, Ji Yuanshu deemed himself the most suitable person to engage with Wen Wuya.

Incidentally, he also wanted to see if he could take this chance to… connect with Wen Wuya, who was a Divinity Transformation Disciple from the 10th floor.

“If I can add him as a friend, or even take a photo to post on social media, my luck should increase quite a bit.”

Ji Yuanshu recalled a method from the Taoist Skill of Luck.

There was once a senior from the Finance Department who sought to take photos with strong individuals everywhere, making many people think he had deep connections and knew many wealthy people, thus his luck surged, allowing him to improve rapidly. The only regret was that he couldn’t withstand the backlash in the end…

Ji Yuanshu began to speak: “Hello, I’m Ji Yuanshu from Wanfa University’s Civil Engineering Department. Do you need something?”

In Wen Wuya’s eyes, whether it was Ji Yuanshu, Gongshu Jin, or the nearby Ying Xin… it didn’t make much difference; once you’re in the Civil Engineering Department, you’re nothing more than a worker in the department.

Even if Wen Wuya knew their so-called 2nd floor, 4th floor, 6th floor backgrounds, he wouldn’t care.

In the perspective of someone from the 10th floor like him, aren’t they all from the lower levels?

And whenever hearing these lower-level people distinguish among themselves, he found it amusing, feeling the tier discrimination among the lower-level people was too severe.

In contrast, it was the 1st-floor people that seemed more special to Wen Wuya, with a kind of rare anomaly, an unusual feeling from primitive wilderness.
