Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 457 Just Because You're Too Beautiful

Inside the secret chamber, Fang Can gazed at the complex ball of light that embodied the power of faith.

Inside the sphere of light, countless tiny streams of light swam and intertwined like living things, as if they possessed life.

Under his absorption, the entire sphere of light shrank by more than one size, a result of his efforts throughout the night.

However, this result made Fang Can frown slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

He stared at the ball of light, his gaze piercing through the halo, as if he could see countless shimmering, vibrant, and rock-solid spiritual particles deep within its core.

Even though Fang Can spent an entire night, he only managed to eliminate the impurities of faith from billions of people, barely managing to digest one-tenth of it.

"This is because these people believe in me, so they don't resist my removal. But if we forcibly strip them of their faith in other gods without going through the annals of history, the difficulty of removal would increase a thousandfold."

"Throughout the interstellar era, tens of thousands of nations are scattered across several star systems, with populations too numerous to count. If one wishes to devour the entire galaxy and unify all nations, one must gather all the vast and complex seventh-order spiritual fragments held by countless beings scattered across trillions of planets and bring them under one's own control..."

Fang Can's mind flashed through that grand and breathtaking scene: "At this rate, even after ten thousand years, it would only be a drop in the ocean."

'It's time to think of a more efficient method,' Fang Can pondered.

Faced with the impact of these forces of faith, the only solution is to broaden one's experience and strengthen one's will.

Simply put, the first method is to increase the number of ideas by lengthening one's life experience.

If the consciousnesses of two people are merged, the one with more experience and knowledge will naturally be able to take over a larger share.

The second method is to improve quality.

While both endure pain, the difference between ordinary people and veterans who have faced perilous situations is naturally different.

Fang Can had previously collected martial arts techniques from the martial arts world, so naturally there were techniques specifically targeting psychoanalysis.

For example, the Sacred Heart lineage, which previously produced the astonishingly stupid Chi Xiao, has a cultivation technique called "Soul-Stealing Tribulations Through Life".

This technique involves absorbing the souls of others, reading their memories, witnessing the world's prosperity, feeling their pain, and enjoying human pleasures, thereby increasing one's spiritual quality through vast experiences.

This kind of practice can directly increase consciousness, but it is easy to lose oneself and cause obvious changes in behavior and habits.

While it may seem like you are experiencing someone else's life, isn't it also a case of being possessed by someone else, becoming trapped in their experiences and unable to extricate yourself?

This is similar to Fang Can's memories when he looked at the Seventh Revolution timeline. If he cannot resist the influence of the Seventh Revolution consciousness, Fang Can may also be possessed by the memories of another timeline.

'Looking at it this way, it seems we really do need to create a technique specifically for improving mental quality.' Fang Can fell into deep thought, searching for a similar technique.

He closed his eyes and pondered, his mind sinking into a vast sea of ​​martial arts memories.

In an instant, countless ancient texts and secret techniques unfolded in his consciousness like a galaxy. "The True Explanation of Soul Refining," "The Art of Forging the Divine with Heart Fire," "The Method of Visualizing All Things"... he quickly reviewed and analyzed these techniques, which tempered his consciousness, honed his spirit, and raised the limits of his mental endurance.

Upon closer inspection, his face darkened again. There were quite a few of these techniques, but the cultivation process was a long story.

Some people use intense fire to scorch their souls and boost their mental endurance by making their hearts burn.

During cultivation, one must constantly visualize one's partner making love with others. When witnessing imagined scenes of "betrayal," the cultivator must forcefully maintain a strange state of "neither anger nor joy, observing coldly," using this extreme emotional tearing and suppression of will to temper one's will.

Moreover, do you think this kind of technique is applicable to Jiang Ning'an or the Broken Dream Daoist?

No!

Because for them, experiencing such illusions is the same as reading wish-fulfillment novels or watching wish-fulfillment dramas; it has no effect on sharpening their consciousness.

Only normal people who practice this method, in a state of suppressed anger and intense self-control, can enhance their spiritual growth.

Furthermore, one must remember one's normal human values ​​when cultivating; otherwise, if one turns into a green-haired turtle during cultivation, one will no longer be able to hone one's consciousness and may even shatter one's Dao heart.

Fang Can's lips twitched almost imperceptibly: 'What kind of heretical and crooked methods are these? It's either self-torture and soul-burning, or being a self-deceiving spiritual pimp. Isn't there a proper, upright method that directly points to the essence of the spirit?'

Although he thought this way, he also knew that tempering one's will was not an easy thing.

'Forget it, I'll just create my own.' Fang Can sighed inwardly and decided to return to his old profession.

After all, the Great Sun Undying Demon Body he created before was something he created himself. Now, with his sixth-level spiritual realm, creating another one would be a piece of cake.

'But... what kind of cultivation method should I create to temper my will?' Fang Can thought to himself: 'Should I create a method where millions of women are constantly having sex with me, and then I can remain unmoved and undisturbed during the cultivation process?'

Thinking about it, he subconsciously shook his head. It was just too bizarre; it was better to be serious.

With his thoughts cleared, Fang Can stood up from the secret room, opened the door, and went outside.

After a night of training, the second day has arrived, and it's time for him to participate in the national war again.

Thinking this, he went outside, only to see the guards standing outside the door, their faces noticeably pale.

Upon seeing him appear, the guard immediately bowed deeply, "Welcome the deity out of seclusion," but his voice betrayed an undisguised nervousness.

"Hmm." Fang Can nodded in response. "What happened?"

The guard, his face pale, explained, "Reporting to the gods, we just received news that in today's National Fortune Arena, Daqing has announced that it will invite the Starfall Federation as an ally to fight against us."

"An ally? A god acting as a substitute?" A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Can's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper interest. The rules of this National Fortune Arena seemed to be more varied than he had imagined.

"According to ancient covenants witnessed in the annals of history, different divine kingdoms can sign 'divine leasing' agreements under certain conditions. A deity from one side can be invited to travel to the territory of an allied kingdom to participate in the war of national destiny on its behalf."

At this moment, Li Longyun heard Fang Can leaving and stepped forward to explain, "This way, the gods can gain the power of faith in other countries."

"Gaining the power of faith in different countries? What do you mean?" Fang Can asked, a thought flashing through his mind.

"Because these gods have already established a rock-solid base in their countries, unless the population increases significantly or they occupy new territories, they simply cannot increase the number of people who believe in them."

"Just like this time, the Starfall Federation came to support Daqing and demonstrate its divine power."

"During this battle, if the people of Daqing or Dazhou see the power of the Starfall God and worship him, they may become spiritual Starfall people."

"Spiritual Starfall People?" "That's right. Although their bodies possess the nationality of Daqing or Dazhou, they actually worship the gods of other countries. This is how Starfall Gods export their culture to other countries."

Li Longyun explained: "Take Da Zhou for example. Yesterday, it was on the verge of collapse. Everyone lost hope for the future of Da Zhou. Some people began to direct their faith to Da Qing, calling themselves citizens of Da Zhou but serving the gods of Da Qing."

"Although it is impossible to make a statistic, at least 30% of the people directed their faith toward Daqing yesterday."

Fang Can's eyes lit up at Li Longyun's explanation.

He previously felt that the faith power he could gain from playing one game at a time was too slow, and even if he went all out, how many games could he play in a day?

Now, Li Longyun tells him that even without directly seizing territory through the National Fortune Arena, he can obtain the power of faith through a mental offensive, which gives him more options.

Seeing Fang Can's pensive expression, Li Longyun assumed he was thinking about the Starfall Federation and explained, "The Starfall Federation is a divine kingdom with hundreds of thousands of life-bearing resource stars, boasting trillions of believers, and worshipping three great gods..."

Fang Can listened to Li Longyun's explanation and slowly raised his head, asking, "How are the people of Great Zhou outside?"

Li Longyun smiled bitterly: "The public is still unaware of Xingyun's involvement. The Prime Minister has strictly controlled the intelligence. Right now, in the square... the people are still immersed in yesterday's great victory. But once the news leaks out, and the footage of Xingyun's appearance spreads..."

As Li Longyun explained things along the way, the group arrived directly at the square of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, where a deafening roar of noise rushed towards them like a tsunami.

At this moment, near the square, a group of Great Zhou citizens were already shouting the name of the god with fervent eyes, and at the same time chanting that the god would surely win and that Great Zhou would surely win.

"The gods are invincible! May the Great Zhou Dynasty prosper forever!"

"Your Majesty Fang Can! Our savior!"

However, the high-ranking officials accompanying Fang Can knew that this was because these civilians were unaware of the possibility of fighting the Meteor Federation, otherwise their behavior would have been completely different.

Of course, this is also the result of officials trying their best to suppress the news; they just hope that this bomb will explode later.

Because if these citizens had known this earlier, a large number of them would have converted to Christianity and become spiritual followers.

"Request to initiate a national war, designating Daqing as the nation!" Li Longyun announced loudly, raising her head.

The moment the words fell, divine light descended like a galaxy, instantly enveloping Fang Can and Li Longyun, along with other key personnel.

The power of the radiance was irresistible; amidst the frenzied cheers, the figures of the crowd became blurred, transparent, and finally disappeared.

As they arrived at the battlefield of national destiny, everyone's gaze fell upon it, and their hearts sank.

Before them appeared several unfamiliar faces; an online investigation revealed these people to be diplomats from the Meteor Federation.

The leader of the Starfall Federation humans fixed his gaze directly on Fang Can and said, "By order of the head of state, the Starfall Federation has come as agreed to help Daqing take over this battlefield."

Seeing the grim expressions on the faces of the Da Zhou officials, the Da Qing people immediately sneered:

"It seems you already knew. We signed an agreement with the Meteor Federation. Today, you're not going to fight me, but the Meteor Federation."

"How can the gods worshipped by your mere hundred planets compare to the hundreds of thousands of resource-rich planets of the Meteor Federation? Sign the surrender agreement immediately, or we will annihilate your nation through a tournament!"

As he spoke, the expression on his face twisted slightly. They had paid a huge price to invite the Meteor Federation, a powerful entity, and they had to get it back from the Great Zhou!
"Let's get started." Fang Can ignored the clown's provocation and instead looked at the Starfall Federation in front of him. These people had come at the right time.

He wanted to compare the intensity of battles between different gods to determine whether the power of the gods increased linearly or exponentially after the increase in faith power, so as to modify his strategy accordingly.

Fang Can's calm expression completely baffled the other party; what kind of strength did he have to be so relaxed?

Unlike the other officials with grim expressions, Li Longyun, a staunch supporter of Fang Can, was not intimidated at all. What starfall could compare to the human saint here?

So she urged directly, "Let's start quickly. Our gods have spoken. Hurry up and let your gods appear. You can't win anyway."

"court death!"

As a powerful nation with hundreds of thousands of resource-rich planets, the Starfall Empire had never been humiliated by such a small country, which immediately ignited its anger.

Without any further ado, the national destiny arena began the next instant, with both sides agreeing.

Then, with the blessing of the faith of the people of the Starfall Federation and the Great Qing Kingdom, a figure filled with flames stepped out from the void.

The figure, a yellow-skinned man in a khaki leather jacket, stepped out of the void. As soon as he appeared, his emotions began to affect those around him.

"Prepare to die! This is Xu Kun, one of the three great gods of our Starfall Federation!"

As the diplomat spoke, a voice filled with boundless rage rang out from the deity named Liu Xing: "What are you doing?! Ouch!"

The moment the deity Xu Kun uttered those words, Fang Can's expression changed drastically.

But then, from the invisible starry sky, countless basketballs surged forth like the sea, transforming the area into a sea of ​​basketballs in a mere instant.

'Damn, even internet celebrities can become gods?'

Fang Can stared in astonishment at the endless stream of matter surging around him, while the diplomats beside him were already sneering.

This is the power of their gods: when they utter their mantra, they forcibly designate a target to be marked, and the marked person will be subject to the following rules:

Basketballs are automatically and continuously generated within a hundred meters around the deity, and the deity will be in an unselectable state until the basketball is destroyed.

In other words, unless all the basketballs are destroyed, only Xu Kun can hit Fang Can, and Fang Can cannot counterattack.

In the next instant, Xu Kun conjured a huge ring in his hand, swayed his body from side to side, and used the Iron Mountain Lean technique to crash into Fang Can.

"Chicken you are so beautiful!!!"

As he moved, the original song "Because You're Too Beautiful" began to play, and the surrounding space and time were divided by his iron-clad stance.

Fang Can's eyes narrowed as he stared at Tie Shan Kao.

As the opponent moved, the whole world seemed to turn into a side-scrolling platformer game, and Fang Can was unable to move left or right to dodge.

This move actually restricts movement along the z-axis, making Xu Kun's body two-dimensional, thus forcibly cutting all the opponents blocking his way in two with his Iron Mountain Lean?!
