Infinite Terror: All members of the Zhongzhou team are wheelchair-level enhanced

Chapter 157 Su Bai's Enhancement, the Difference Between Orthodox and Unorthodox Cultivation
"Spider Arrow Core?" Mingyan asked with slight doubt.

This skill is not unfamiliar. During the team battle against the Nan Yan Zhou team, Ba Wang, Ling Dian, and Zhan Lan personally witnessed that woman from the Nan Yan Zhou team use it.

Shoot an arrow that will surely hit the heart.

Of course, if the enemy is strong enough and has high enough defense, this arrow, which is sure to hit, will simply be blocked.

This is also why the skill is only worth 2C.

Mingyan asked softly, "I can understand exchanging for enchanted arrows, as it can increase my firepower. But why do you want to exchange for 'Spider Arrow Core'? My intuition about whether I can hit the target is also very accurate."

Chu Xuan looked at Ming Yanwei and calmly explained, "Spider Arrow Heart is a curse-type causal skill, and the key point is that it is a causal skill."

"This will lay the foundation for you to create your own causal arrows."

"Others who use the Spider Arrow Heart skill will faint, as if they have entered a state of brain death, due to their own limitations."

"Only the main god can restore it."

"But you are different. You have a premonition that the arrow will hit you. This is a kind of cause and effect, which will offset part of the curse's backlash."

"When you fully understand its principles, that's when you begin to develop the causal arrow."

Mingyan understood; the key was the causal law skill.

Her strengths lie in intuition and archery, and this move, 'Spider Arrow Heart,' allows her to gain a more systematic understanding of her intuition and also enhances her archery skills.

Once she got used to the backlash from 'Spider Arrow Heart'.

From now on, every arrow she shoots will hit the heart. As long as the enemy's defenses are broken beforehand, she can finish off the enemy's heart, which is equivalent to a weaker version of 'Dot-Line Demon Eye'.

This move might not be as effective against strong opponents later on, since strong opponents can survive without a heart.

However, in the later stages, Mingyanwei will also develop other causal arrow skills to counter her, so she will naturally not be weak.

In the end, only Zhang Jie remained.

Chu Xuan looked at Zhang Jie, while Zhang Jie looked at Su Bai.

"I won't exchange it." Zhang Jie spread his hands and smiled helplessly. "A D-level side quest isn't worth much, and you don't need it. I'll save it up, and maybe I can slowly accumulate a big one."

Su Bai, knowing Zhang Jie's specific situation, said, "Then let's save them for now."

The meeting was drawing to a close, and as usual, everyone needed to go to Zhang Jie's private room for training.

Ba Wang, Mou Gang, Ling Dian, and others still need to actually complete the agreed-upon enhancement redemption.

After exchanging the money, I need to go to Zhang Jie's place.

However, when it came to Zhang Jie, it wasn't basic training like running or shooting.

Instead, Zhang Jie built training spaces tailored to each individual, allowing everyone to conduct personalized training in their own space.

When a battle is needed, they can go outside and have Zhang Jie or Zhang Jie organize others to fight.

Even Xiao Honglu needs to train and cultivate in Zhang Jie's personal room. Zhang Jie specially spent reward points to exchange for an environment with heavy yin energy, similar to a 'graveyard', for Xiao Honglu.

Although they can train in their own private rooms.

But staying at home doesn't feel like training, and it also puts a great strain on one's self-discipline.

It's roughly equivalent to going to school or going to work; having a formal office space helps people concentrate much better.

Once at home, most people become lazy.

Therefore, it would be better for Zhang Jie to make all the arrangements and standardize the process.

Finally, Su Bai instructed everyone that this return to the 'World of Gods and Demons' to farm points would take place on the seventh day within the Main God Space.

Everyone is given six days to adapt to their exchange and enhancement system and plan their personal training direction. On the seventh day, they will enter the 'World of Gods and Demons' for 100 days.

It was both a test of scores and a final training session.

In the blink of an eye, only Su Bai and Chu Xuan remained in the main God Square.

Chu Xuan calmly looked at Su Bai and said, "Besides modifying everyone's black armor and using the dragon blood modification reagent, I will also use my remaining side quests and reward points to do two other things."

"First, I will continue to refine my personal version of the Primordial Beasts Formation."

"This time in Jurassic Park, I collected the souls of many giant beasts and dinosaurs. I will turn them into combat power before entering 'Resident Evil 2' and fighting against the Demon Team or the Celestial Team."

"In the world of Resident Evil 2, this is one of our trump cards."

Su Bai listened quietly to Chu Xuan's report.

The reason the two said this after the meeting was that their abilities involved the team's core secrets, and that their abilities might play a miraculous role at a crucial moment in the future.

Therefore, it is enough for only two people to know, to prevent the information from being leaked through others.

Chu Xuan said, "The second thing is that I can establish my foundation."

Su Bai looked surprised. "You're an arcanist, and you also need to establish your foundation?"

Chu Xuan shook his head, "I stayed here all night last night, collecting information on the path to godhood from the main god, but there's too little data."

"However, after I paid for a C-level side quest, I still managed to obtain several paths to godhood from the information attached to the related items by exchanging for them."

"Zhan Lan's faith path was originally the path of faith she would take after becoming a god and advancing to a higher god."

"However, the angel bloodline you arranged for her to reach level A allows her to use the power of faith ahead of time, so she can use the power of faith to become a god."

Su Bai nodded. The path to godhood through faith was something he had specially prepared for Zhan Lan. As long as her faith was cultivated well, she could quickly reach the fifth-order saint level.

Angel bloodlines primarily enhance mental strength and intelligence, making them a good match for those with strong mental abilities.

The power of faith also has the effect of suppressing inner demons, complementing the skills of those with spiritual power.

The two are one of the most suitable combinations.

Chu Xuan said, "Becoming a god through faith is not suitable for me, and the path to godhood for arcane mages is almost always related to other gods."

"For example, becoming a believer of other gods, being favored by the gods, and becoming a follower of the gods."

"For example, one can acquire the divinity of other gods, use it as a spark to ignite the divine fire, and become a god."

"Or perhaps obtain the divine essence of another god, merge it into your body, and become a god."

“These paths to godhood all have one drawback: they don’t create your own god, but rather the god of someone else.”

Su Bai understood these things. For example, becoming a subordinate god of other gods would mean being restricted by those gods, so this path was naturally not feasible.

Acquiring divinity to ignite the divine fire and become a god is not enough. Divinity is essentially a fragment of the light of the soul. If one uses the light of another's soul to ignite the divine fire and become a god, the path after becoming a god will be based on the abilities of the light of another's soul.

Just like Zheng Zha's spiritual light is the "Hidden Dragon Transformation", which eventually developed into a powerful move like the creation of the primordial world.

This is the path that best aligns with his true self; it is his own path, which is why he has gone so far.

If Zheng Zha were replaced by someone else's Spiritual Light, and he followed someone else's path, his potential would be immediately locked.

The same principle applies to merging with someone else's divine essence; that's someone else's path.

Chu Xuan said, "I already understand that the key to becoming a god lies in igniting the divine fire."

"Placing it in the gene lock system is equivalent to illuminating the light of the soul."

"I don't want to use the divinity or godhood of other gods to become someone else's god; I want to become my own god."

"I will combine rune technology to create my own divinity, my own divinity, which you can understand as the prototype of the Light of the Mind."

"Since divinity is a fragment of the broken light of the mind, the prototype of the light of the mind can naturally be considered as divinity."

Just as Su Bai's telekinetic ability was the prototype of the Light of the Mind, Chu Xuan also wanted to possess the prototype of the Light of the Mind in advance.

Develop the nascent form of spiritual light, allowing it to become true divinity, which in turn ignites the divine fire to achieve divinity.

This is a theoretically feasible path to godhood.

Chu Xuan explained, "By utilizing the divinity or divine status of other gods, I would be forced to become the god of fire, the god of water, the god of death, etc., but those divine positions are not suitable for me and would limit my abilities."

"The one that suits me best is the divine position I create myself."

"I will follow the orthodox path of cultivation, using runes to build my foundation and form my core, constructing my own rune method to evolve the prototype of my own inner light, then overcome my inner demons, ignite the divine fire, and become a god."

Su Bai understood that Chu Xuan's path to godhood borrowed some concepts from 'orthodox cultivation'.

Both orthodox and unorthodox cultivation methods follow the path of Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Primordial Spirit.

However, there is a fundamental difference between the two.

For example, Su Bai's demonic sword cultivation path is equivalent to taking an unorthodox cultivation path. His foundation building involves condensing nine true essence circuits within his body.

'Core Formation' is the process of condensing the soul, consciousness, energy, and cultivation techniques into one, forming an energy that exists between illusion and reality.

The foundation building in orthodox cultivation involves the internal true energy entering the sea of ​​consciousness, condensing core runes, and enhancing a certain level of computational ability.

At this point, orthodox cultivators will possess a certain level of combat power. In the event of battle, they will release core runes to analyze enemy moves and find weaknesses.

Then combine runes to form your own moves to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

The formation of the Golden Core involves condensing the runes analyzed during the Foundation Establishment process into a pill, with the entire Golden Core being constructed from runes.

The more runes used to construct the Golden Core, the higher the upper limit.

Both unorthodox and orthodox cultivation methods will increase computing power. However, orthodox cultivation will increase computing power more significantly.

Especially when one reaches the stage of Core Formation.

Unorthodox cultivation focuses on optimizing the soul, body, and energy. The Golden Core is equivalent to an energy center, which improves the body and one's own energy far more than orthodox cultivation.

Orthodox cultivation emphasizes analytical and observational abilities, and their golden cores also include energy storage and amplification.

When they fight, they can use rune rules to create their own incomplete Dao Domain, and analyze and construct rune spells on the spot.

This also explains why orthodox cultivation is the natural enemy of unorthodox cultivation and magicians.

And the reason why a legitimate cultivator could easily wipe out tens of thousands of non-legitimate cultivators or magic groups of the same level.

Because non-orthodox cultivators and magicians who specialize in spells essentially use the rune combination rules of other orthodox cultivators to cast corresponding spells.

Orthodox cultivators can use their rune cores to form incomplete Dao domains, which are filled with their rune observations and analyses.

He can fundamentally destroy the spell-building models of non-orthodox cultivators and magicians, preventing them from casting spells and turning them into mortals.

However, he himself can cast spells.

Naturally, one can easily defeat ten thousand.

Of course, this trick won't work against non-orthodox cultivators, such as sword cultivators or body cultivators.

Because whether they are sword cultivators or body cultivators, they do not rely on rune combinations to cast spells, but focus on the coordinated use of soul, body, and energy.

Their fighting power comes from energy and physical strength, not magic.

Orthodox cultivators cannot interfere with the physical body and soul of others; they can only interfere with magic. Therefore, non-orthodox cultivators who do not rely on magic will naturally not be restrained by orthodox cultivators.

This is also why powerful sword cultivators and body cultivators can rival orthodox cultivators.

Chu Xuan is very powerful; he now even knows the concepts of orthodox and unorthodox cultivation.

Chu Xuan said, "I will start with Foundation Establishment, which is easy. I am currently choosing my core runes, and I want to achieve perfect Foundation Establishment."

Su Bai nodded.

It has to be admitted that Chu Xuan is abnormal. Others find it difficult to establish their foundation through orthodox cultivation, but he chooses which runes to use for foundation building.

That could be considered a benefit.

Other orthodox cultivation methods primarily use the Bagua runes of 'Fuxi,' which is equivalent to connecting to the internet and using pre-developed software.

Once 'Fuxi' shuts down the software and disconnects the network, even orthodox cultivators using Bagua runes will be completely bewildered.

Chu Xuan does not have this hidden danger. He possesses the abilities of an arcanist, allowing him to independently analyze runes. His intelligence is sufficient to create his own rune calculation method.

He is developing his own 'rune software'.

Naturally, it will not be subject to the restrictions of 'Fuxi'.

"I understand," Su Bai said.

He confirmed that Chu Xuan had not gone astray.

Su Bai said, "The Fire Dragon King's dragon crystal is with me. I will give it to you after I get the points."

"The Dragon King's immune technology weapon will automatically form a defensive shield when attacked."

"You can study the principles of the defensive shield and equip each member of our Central Continent team with defense."

Chu Xuan said, "Okay."

After confirming some specific details, Chu Xuan left.

He still doesn't need to participate in training; he only needs to return to his personal room to conduct research. The combat power boost from his research is greater than that from training.

Su Bai was the only one left in the main square.

Su Bai prepared to make his exchange.

"Zheng Zha's idea is correct. The next battle will be against a demon or a god, so having ready-made combat power is very important."

"Then first, I want to exchange for 5 drops of Nine Nether Spring Water!"

Su Bai is currently only one step away from entering the double A-level half-dragon bloodline, and he can use the Nine Nether Spring Water to enter the double A-level bloodline in one fell swoop.

Upon reaching Double A level, Su Bai will gain an additional skill.

"Double A-grade vampire prince mutated bloodline, after exchange, I can obtain the skill 'Gene Absorption'!" Su Bai had been eyeing this skill for a long time.

This 'gene absorption' skill is key to Reinhard's ability to absorb the genes of others to become stronger in the original storyline.

It can absorb not only physical life forms, but also elemental life forms.

For example, Zhan Lan, who has A-level angel bloodline, is essentially already half an elemental life form.

Although Zhan Lan's angelic attributes will restrain his vampire attributes, just like the five elements' mutual generation and restraint.

Water can extinguish fire, and fire can also boil water.

Su Bai absorbed Zhan Lan's angel genes and adjusted his own gene pool, merging the positive and negative genes. Who knows what kind of abilities he might evolve into?

"My bloodline must be upgraded. After the upgrade, I can absorb the genes from the corpses of the vampire emperors and the ancestral dragons that I possess, and adjust my half-dragon vampire genes."

"So even though I still have a 2A-level bloodline, I'm not considered weak among 2A-level individuals."

Even among those with the same 2A-grade bloodline, there are differences.

Su Bai will try to improve his bloodline as much as possible.

"Once I reach the 2A bloodline, I can operate the fourth-level primary energy cycle without any pressure."

"I've also successfully established my foundation, and can continue to kill and grow stronger until I reach... the Golden Core stage!"

In unorthodox cultivation, Foundation Establishment corresponds to the third stage, Golden Core corresponds to the early stage of the fourth stage, and Nascent Soul corresponds to the peak of the early stage of the fourth stage.

After reaching the 2A bloodline level, Su Bai prepared to advance to the Golden Core realm as much as possible.

“Slaughter… This time, we’ll resolve the Golden Core issue within the world of Gods and Demons.” Su Bai murmured.

他具有‘1A2B1D+27000’，兑换5滴九幽泉水花费5000点奖励点数。

He previously helped the entire team with repairs, which cost over 4000 reward points, while his own repairs cost over 2000.

There were eleven people in total, and the other ten people used an average of more than 200 yuan to repair them.

His side quests haven't been used yet.

"We have the bloodline, and we can exchange energy for it too."

"My current level of telekinesis is B, and I still advance by consuming soul food."

"Moreover, my telekinesis has already reached the microscopic level, so there is no need to improve it for the time being."

"Only the Dot-Line Magic Eye remains."

His 'Dot and Line Magic Eye' can be upgraded to an A-grade Square Magic Eye.

However, in addition to enhancing the original 'dot and line magic eye' ability, the A-rank array magic eye is enhanced in that it is no longer limited to the death of matter and physical entities.

Instead, it is through the great cost that one can witness the death of intangible things such as space and time.

Powerful, indeed very powerful.

However, it has little effect on the current stage of the Su-Bai movement.

Su Bai's enemy is not space and time, but people at this stage.

"Upgrading the Dot-Line Magic Eye won't be very effective; it's already sufficient for now. So, there's only one that can be improved and has immediate combat power."

"My Xuanmo Sword!"

With a thought, Su Bai's crimson Xuanmo Sword flew out from his storage ring and hovered in front of him.

This sword was forged from a 'B-grade' Xuanmo sword embryo using the killing and forging techniques within the 'Demon Sword Cultivation' cultivation method. It has now grown into an A-grade Xuanmo sword.

The crimson Xuanmo Sword is currently considered a weak A-rank sword.

The 'spiritual treasure' corresponding to a weak A-grade weapon is a weapon used by a fourth-tier beginner level expert. It can unleash the power of a weak fourth-tier beginner level expert, which is just comparable to Su Bai's current strength.

However, Su Bai will soon become stronger. Even if he uses the "Luo Hou Technique" to refine the Xuanmo Sword back to black and achieve a mid-level A-grade status, it will still only be a weapon at the peak of the fourth level.

"To forge the Xuanmo Sword, it must be restored to its embryonic form, at least an A-grade embryo, so that it can grow into a double A-grade weapon and upgrade the Xuanmo Sword's level."

"In addition, I also need to add some customization capabilities that suit my needs."

Su Bai had many ideas that he wanted to realize through the Xuanmo Sword.

Moreover, this is his natal sword, the strongest weapon of a swordsman.

The stronger the Xuanmo Sword, the stronger Su Bai becomes.

The two complement each other.
