In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 452 Elected Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering

What Qingshui wants is a complete, systematic, safe, and suitable method of cultivating natural energy for humans.

Now that the path has proven to be viable, the next step is to utilize all available resources to further explore how to proceed along this path.

So what else do you have that is related to this?
What is there that I can plan for myself?

The markings, being the product of breathing techniques reaching their limit, must be related to something else, such as the Sage Mode training methods in the Naruto world, or the cursed seals researched by Orochimaru.

In Shimizu's view, the effects of the curse mark and the mark are very similar, except that the mark's mutation is so subtle that only a small patch of pattern resembling a colored tattoo appears on the body.

This suggests that the natural energy extracted from the markings is definitely purer and more suitable for humans than that extracted from the cursed seal.

However, Jugo may not even be born yet, and Orochimaru certainly hasn't researched the cursed seal, so Shimizu has no way to plan anything.

So, apart from the markings, the only thing that can be clearly studied is magic.

Of the three sacred sites, only Konoha has the summoning contracts between Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest, while Ryūchi Cave...

Shimizu's eyes flickered as he recalled some records written by the Third Kazekage.

Back then, the Third Kazekage also seemed to have signed a summoning contract with Ryuchi-dō, right?
After finishing his discussion with Lu Jin, Old Man Lu ran out excitedly.

The old man plans to recruit many disciples and rebuild the Trinity.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lao Lu broke through to the peak of the second level of the Reverse Life Triple Realm, gaining the ability to reconstruct the Three Pills.

This news quickly spread throughout the world of supernatural beings, and everyone knew that Lu Jin, the patriarch of the Lu family, had also become a peerless master.

Before his breakthrough, Old Master Lu was one of the most capable fighters among the group of old men below Zhang Zhiwei, who was at the pinnacle of power. Even Lu Ci and Wang Ai, despite their dissatisfaction with Lu Jin, would acknowledge his strength. When it came to Lu Jin's most vulnerable figures like Wu Gensheng and Li Muxuan, they dared not provoke him.

Because Lu Jin, when he's fighting with his life on the line, can truly fight them to the death, resulting in mutual destruction.

With Lu Jin making another breakthrough, apart from Zhang Zhiwei, no one dared to say they had a chance to beat Lu Jin.

Lu Jin now has the strength and prestige, and the Lu family also has the money and resources. In particular, the Reverse Life Triple is about to become the Reverse Life Quadruple, which gives hope to continue on this dead end that was originally impossible to reach the heavens. Therefore, Lu Jin naturally has the ability to establish a sect again and rebuild the San Yi Sect.

The only drawback is that Lu Jin is now over a hundred years old. Even though he cultivates the orthodox Xuanmen method and has a high level of cultivation that can prolong his life, the theoretical lifespan limit for human males is no more than 120 years. Unless he can properly pass through the fourth level, Lu Jin's remaining lifespan is at most only a dozen years.

No matter what, a master with only a dozen or so years left to live is still a master. Whether they are wandering cultivators from the world of supernatural beings or supernatural beings from various families, they all want to become disciples of Lu Jin.

After all, apart from Qing Shui, only those who personally experienced the battle between Zuo Ruotong and Wu Gensheng at the Sanyi Sect back then knew that the Reverse Life Triple Transformation couldn't reach the Heavenly Realm. Besides, even if they knew, it wouldn't matter.

If you can't reach the heavens, you can't reach the heavens. Throughout history, how many people have actually reached the heavens? Those are already considered myths and legends.

But a path that truly proved they could become the pinnacle of the superhuman world lay before them.

Even knowing that Lu Jin's requirements for accepting disciples would be extremely strict, perhaps even higher than Zuo Ruotong's, there would still be no shortage of people willing to give it a try.

In the new era, thanks to the internet, news spreads very quickly, but people still need time to travel.

The old site of the Sanyi Gate on Sanyi Peak also needs to be renovated. Because of the steep terrain of Sanyi Peak, the construction is difficult and will take time, even if the Lu family has the manpower and resources.

Therefore, before that, Lu Jin planned to make a trip to Longhu Mountain.

As for why we went up Longhu Mountain...

He probably felt that he could now reconstruct the Three Pills and possessed strength almost equivalent to Zuo Ruotong's more than seventy years ago. He felt that he was also at the pinnacle and wanted to go to Longhu Mountain to challenge Zhang Zhiwei.

We can't just slap this old Taoist priest down like we did at the Lu family banquet ninety years ago, can we?
He, Lao Lu, wanted to prove that the top masters in the world back then were the head of the Sanyi Sect and the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, and that the top masters in the world today are still the head of the Sanyi Sect and the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain!

As a result, Old Master Lu was given another lecture by Zhang Zhiwei.

He still couldn't win, but fortunately, unlike before when he could only take one slap, Zhang Zhiwei slapped him several times before he was knocked down.

The Old Celestial Master is considered to be at the pinnacle because the highest level in the world of supernatural beings is the pinnacle, but in reality, he had already reached the pinnacle more than sixty years ago when he was forty years old.

A super genius who can become a master at the age of forty and be invincible in the world, can still be invincible and a master even after sixty more years of cultivation.

Lu Jin's current skill level is probably not much stronger than Zhang Zhiwei's when he was forty and had just reached the pinnacle. How can he compare to Zhang Zhiwei, who has been practicing for more than sixty years since then?

By getting Zhang Zhiwei to slap him a few more times, Lu Jin has already created a huge gap between himself and everyone else in the world.

While the world was waiting for the reopening of the Sanyi Academy, part of the newly elected academicians had already been announced ahead of schedule.

Qingshui and Mengxuan were prominently listed.

This was already a done deal, there was no doubt about it.

BJ, Academic Hall of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Professor Zhuo, no, he should be called Academician Zhuo now. Congratulations! He's an academician at less than thirty years old. I wonder if anyone will ever achieve this."

The leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences warmly shook hands with Shimizu, then smiled and took the academician certificate from the person next to them and handed it to Shimizu.

"You flatter me. There will definitely be outstanding young people in the future."

Shimizu smiled.

Becoming an academician before the age of thirty would be extraordinary, but perhaps one day someone like Prague would emerge and win a Nobel Prize in the natural sciences before the age of thirty. That might be possible. However, Shimizu is not just an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He needs to go to the lobby of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in a few days to add another academician title.

The other two academicians are a general term; after becoming an academician of one of the two academies, one is called an academician of both academies. However, he truly serves as an academician of both academies simultaneously.

His achievements in both engineering and theoretical science meet the required standards, to the point that it's absolutely necessary to award him...

Yes, thank you again Tony, thank you Luthor, thank you Bruce Wayne, thank you Mr. Freeze, thank you Dr. Banner and Dr. Connors...

In the past, there were actually more than 30 people who served as academicians of both the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but not many of them are still alive.

Because of the special historical context, in the early days of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, there were 30 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who were specially invited to serve concurrently as academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and there were only sporadic additions in the following years.

Later on, once the selection criteria for the two academies were finalized, it became almost impossible for new dual academicians to emerge.

With the exception of Shimizu, both the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Academy of Sciences wanted him to become their academicians to enhance their authority.

It's highly unlikely that anyone will ever achieve this.

After receiving the certificate, a symposium was held focusing on current technological developments. Shimizu had already learned that he would be speaking before arriving and had prepared his speech.

Before that, there are some certificates and other documents that need to be signed and go through a process.

"This is..."

Shimizu hesitated, looking at the extra document in his hand compared to the other elected academicians.

"This is a commitment letter that every academician must sign to uphold academic honor. As for this, it was issued to you with the approval of our institute's leadership and higher authorities, inviting you to become the vice president and honorary president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

The leaders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences explained with a smile.

Shimizu readily agreed.

This was delivered by gas deliveryman.

Unsurprisingly, this also happened at the certificate awarding ceremony for academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in a few days.

And what followed was a whole host of honorary titles.

All of these factors combined brought a lot of good fortune to Shimizu.

Current Luck Value: 48.65%

Before I knew it, the progress bar of my luck value had quietly reached nearly halfway.

After the ceremony awarding the academician certificate, Shimizu stopped paying attention to the various trivial matters that came to his door. Instead, he made a decision on the research directions for each department of his institute, assigned his assistants in each class to continue working in the direction he had given, and then devoted all his time to the research on the Reverse Life Quadruple and the Reversal of Eight Directions.

The importance of the fourfold reversal of life goes without saying, and as Qing Shui researched the reversal of the eight directions, he gradually developed a greater interest in studying this Wang-style reversal.

Originally, the "Reversing the Eight Directions" technique was just a folk acrobatic skill used for magic tricks or petty theft. Wang Yaozu developed it into a clever application of Qi to force, and Li Muxuan further developed it into an application of force fields over nearly a century.

The principle is that Qi creates a force field around the person by manipulating their magnetic field. Qi then drives the direction and magnitude of the force within the field, and the range is controllable and can penetrate the medium.

From this perspective, the upper limit of reversing the eight directions is indeed very high.

In this light, although Wang Yaozu and Li Muxuan, the master and disciple of Quanxing, were a scoundrel and an inhuman being respectively, their talents were undeniable. Even though they were practicing unorthodox methods, they had taken them to a level where they could establish their own schools.

In Qingshui's view, since the reversal of the eight directions can influence the human body's magnetic field through Qi and freely control external forces, could this principle also be used to create a way to influence electromagnetic fields and control forces within magnetic fields?

So theoretically, given enough energy, could a force field be applied to the outside of a spacecraft to create a protective shield that can withstand pressure and impact? Could this force field even be used to accelerate the spacecraft, control its direction, and launch kinetic weapons?
Just thinking about it makes me feel so awesome!
For Shimizu, who has mastered the production of the second-generation Ark Reactor, energy is not an issue unless the force field is set to an extreme level.

After all, the power generation efficiency of a standard unit of the second-generation Ark reactor is already comparable to half of the Three Gorges Dam in a short period of time.

Not to mention, even if it is only used as an offensive tactic, the control of the force field that reverses the eight directions is also a good technique. Li Muxuan lost to Lu Jin because he was already feeling guilty and had the will to die, so he deliberately used his own life to force Lu Jin to break through.

Another point is that Li Muxuan's cultivation of life force is inferior to that of Lu Jin.

Wang Yaozu was considered a decent expert in the world of supernatural beings eighty or ninety years ago, but he was ultimately from a low-class profession. He was already a genius for being able to master the Reversal of Eight Directions technique to that extent, but how high could his cultivation techniques be in terms of life and physical strength?
When they were young, everyone hadn't been cultivating for very long, so the difference in their life cultivation hadn't yet widened. But as time went on, they all became old monsters over a hundred years old. Compared to someone like Li Muxuan, who came from a legitimate sect of Xuanmen, the gap in this aspect would only widen.

The greater the range of influence of the force field, the greater the consumption on oneself. Only by releasing the force field barrier can Li Muxuanyao suppress Lu Jin's speed and strength to the same level as himself. When attacking, the small-scale force field attack cannot have a substantial impact on Lu Jin, who has the Reverse Life Triple. If these two centenarians are really allowed to wear each other down, Lu Jin will definitely have a slight advantage in the end.

It is foreseeable that Li Muxuan's nearly 100-year cultivation level will allow him to hold out against Lu Jin for a very long time, perhaps even for three days and three nights. However, the outcome will definitely be that Li Muxuan dies, while Lu Jin, having exhausted his vital energy, survives but suffers severe damage and dies prematurely due to old age.

From this perspective, Li Muxuan's willingness to risk serious injury to break Lu Jin's three cores was his only way to break the deadlock at that time.

If Lu Jin cannot achieve a breakthrough on the spot and reconstruct the three cores, then the result will be exactly the opposite: Lu Jin will die and Li Muxuan will be seriously injured.

Of course, the result was that Lu Jin won. His accumulation was sufficient. According to Li Muxuan's description, Lu Jin's speed and strength were already very close to Zuo Ruotong's back then, which means that Lu Jin had met the basic requirements in terms of life accumulation. This means that Lu Jin's life cultivation had met the basic requirements for reconstructing the three dantian. Even after that, if he had the help of an external force like a divine spirit, he might also have the conditions to break through to the third level.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Shimizu finally managed to make some progress with the Reverse Life Triple and Reversal of Eight Directions techniques.

The Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage is alright. With the experience of the past generations of cultivators from the Three Ones Sect, and with Lu Jin, a senior who has already reached the peak of the second stage, and with Qing Shui's life cultivation as a foundation, the first stage of cultivation is not a problem, and the early and middle stages of the second stage are also not a big problem.

Both are at the second level, but Lu Lin, who has just entered the second level, is definitely not on the same level as Lu Jin, who is at the peak of the second level and can reconstruct the three cores.
