Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 414 Hope
Refining Qi into Spirit!

Its miraculous power is beyond doubt!
Refine the martial artist's vital energy into spirit!
However, this method is theoretically only suitable for helping martial artists break through the spiritual realm!

Once used, it will permanently reduce a martial artist's talent and foundation.

It's somewhat like drinking poison to quench thirst!

But the results are undeniable.

If a mental energy user stuck at the master level uses it, there is a high probability that they can advance to the next level!
The cultivation of life force by the Martial Saint, which refines Qi into spirit, can also provide significant assistance to the Spirit Master in breaking through the bottleneck between Spirit Master and Spirit Saint.

"It's like giving those practitioners who originally followed the dual cultivation path an option to cultivate only the spirit."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

As his thoughts wandered, he gradually realized the value of this secret technique.

This secret technique is naturally inconvenient for the people of Red Star to practice.

Firstly, the physique of the Red Star people is generally weak, so practicing this secret technique would not be of much use to them.

Secondly...

Refining Qi into Spirit to replenish one's spirit will damage the foundation of martial arts, which is equivalent to cutting off the path of a martial artist.

but……

The Red Star People won't work, but the Machine God Cult will!

Many members of the Cult of the Machine God have been injected with gene-enhancing drugs, and most of them have a physical strength value of 10 or higher.

While these gene-enhancing drugs gave them powerful physiques, they also destroyed the foundation of their martial arts.

Furthermore...

Compared to martial arts, before becoming a saint, the spiritual path was more effective than martial arts in the mist.

If a large number of psychic beings could emerge when the Cult of Mechanism is about to face a massive invasion from the Mist...

They can hold out for a little longer.

Of course, their ability to better promote the growth of the Void God Realm is also of paramount importance.

"Not only the Mechanical God Cult, but also the Radiant Star could implement this system. However, Radiant Star has too small a population and too many branches. It would take a lot of time to spread this technique from city to city. We should focus on the Mechanical God Cult for now."

Upon realizing this, Ji Fuyou instantly separated a portion of his mind and directly sensed the location of the acting Pope Zhuguang from within the Void God Realm.

"Pass this secret technique down and distribute it to everyone!"

He quickly issued the order.

A slight ripple stirred within the spirit of Zhuguang, who was handling official business.

He was unwilling to be a puppet, but he was also wary of Ji Fuyou's powerful strength and afraid of being killed like the previous Pope.

The person was in a very contradictory state.

However, after seeing this secret technique, he quickly found an excuse to convince himself of this contradiction.

"This secret technique can create a large number of psychic beings, which will benefit our Mechanicus in its fight against the Mist... Since it is beneficial to our Mechanicus, there is no reason not to implement and promote it..."

He kept reassuring himself: "If it is the kind of secret method that tries to subvert and control my Cult of the Machine God, I will never back down an inch, even if it means going down with this invader."

His thoughts were racing, but that didn't stop him from responding: "Alright, I'll use the communication equipment to transmit the secret technique to everyone right now."

"I'm waiting for your results."

After Ji Fuyou finished speaking, he multitasked, focusing some of his energy on the Mechanical God Cult and the other on confiscating the resources of the Holy Realm Clan.

When the looting was nearly complete, he leaped away, leaving the Holy Realm clan's territory, which had now turned into a vast swamp.

When Ji Fuyou returned to the Misty Forest, even more Martial Saints had gathered there.

Song Lingxiao, who was in charge of homeland defense, also arrived here.

"President."

"The Holy Realm race has been almost dealt with, but... this is only a temporary solution. The passage between Demon Suppression Valley and Misty Forest has been opened, and in the future, there will inevitably be a continuous stream of demons pouring in from Demon Suppression Valley. Therefore, the danger level of Misty Forest will be increased in the future. In addition, we should gather elites to guard the entrance of Demon Suppression Valley to ensure that these demons do not spread to the outside world."

Ji Fuyou gave a brief introduction: "At the same time, in order to ensure that we can understand the movements of the demons in the Demon Suppression Valley, we need to send people into the Demon Suppression Valley. If there are any discoveries or dangers, you can ask me for help!"

"clear."

Song Lingxiao nodded solemnly.

Yang Kaitai, who was standing to the side, also said, "The war has entered its second phase. We are mentally prepared for the monsters in the fog to become stronger."

Ji Fuyou nodded: "If something unusual happens here in Zhenmo Valley, I estimate that it will happen soon on Xuan Yue Island as well."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Yang Xing in the arena: "Have you observed anything?"

Compared to Crimson Star, Mysterious Moon Island is closer to the Black Gold Empire.

"Not yet, Xuan Yue Island is very quiet..."

Yang Xing seemed to remember something as he said this: "However, a few days ago, we encountered a problem on our end; it seems there was a virus attack..."

"Investigate thoroughly!"

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he turned to Song Lingxiao beside him: "In terms of medical technology, Dashang has a clear advantage. Immediately dispatch a team of experts to cooperate with the Black Gold's source tracing investigation." "Okay!"

Song Lingxiao nodded solemnly.

He thought of the various demons on Xuan Yue Island...

Those monsters were all transformed from intelligent life forms.

……

Tian Du City Yunding Mountain.

Ji Fuyou returned to this megacity that was beginning to emerge as the center of the world.

Since Fang Qiyun had not yet emerged from seclusion, it was mainly Li Ao who was telling Ji Fuyou about the recent situation of Chixing.

but……

There's not much to say about it.

With the Void God Realm present, Leo simply compiled a list of recent events and sent it up, which Ji Fuyou could then download and process.

The whole process took only a few seconds.

What Ji Fuyou really needed to consider was how to respond to Leo's next request for instructions on the direction of development.

"Why would you want everyone to try refining Qi into Spirit? Why would you have such an idea?"

Ji Fuyou looked at him with some surprise: "The average physical strength of the Red Star people is not high, and the benefits of refining Qi into Spirit are also very limited. Moreover, biochip technology is currently under public relations, so there is no need to rush it."

"The main focus is on the positioning of the public."

Leo said, "The monsters that have emerged from the Demon Suppression Valley have proven that the danger of monsters has increased to a new level. Moreover, as time goes by, the monsters that emerge will only become stronger. The responsibility for the future cannot be placed on Chairman Ji and a very small number of people. Everyone should contribute their own strength to this Heavenly Ranking War."

“I understand what you mean, but there’s no rush. Red Star is our base. In any case, we should proceed cautiously and not try to force things.”

Ji Fuyou said, "I know you want to share my burden, but I know what I'm doing. While you maintain social stability, you should promote meditation as soon as possible and crack the biochip technology. Integrate this technology into the Void God Realm Helmet to reduce its cost."

He added, "The first batch of Void God Realm helmets has been produced and put into use, and the results are very good."

"We are working hard to analyze and improve the Void God Realm helmet and biochip technology. The cost of the next batch of helmets is expected to be reduced to around 100 million."

Leo said.

100 million!
This number is significantly lower than before.

It should be noted that the cost of refining the core spirit crystal using the spirit crystal refining technology alone was over 100 million, not to mention the cost of other equipment.

This is why, even though Ji Fuyou clearly needed more people to enter the Void God Realm, he still priced the Void God Realm helmet at 500 million!
The cost can now be reduced to 100 million...

"It's still not enough."

Ji Fuyou said, "Due to the influence of the fog, the global GDP last year was about 300 trillion. As the world's largest economy, Da Shang accounted for 24.1%, or about 72 trillion. However, the amount that can actually be allocated is still only about 20 trillion. It is impossible for all 20 trillion to be used to produce the Void God Realm Helmets... Even if 10 trillion is allocated, only 1000 million can be produced per year. Moreover, the spirit crystals in these helmets have a lifespan and basically need to be replaced every one or two years. Correspondingly, the next round of the Heavenly Ranking War is less than 3 years away."

"In fact, we can further adjust our strategy."

Leo said, "Stop all development in other industries and shift entirely to a wartime economy. We only need to reserve industries that account for 50% of GDP to ensure basic survival. All other industries will serve the war effort, and everyone will be forcibly conscripted to work in the Virtual World Department..."

50%!

35 trillion!

but……

This is probably already close to the threshold of social collapse.

If this were done, the country would quickly descend into chaos.

By then, before the alien beasts and monsters in the mist could invade, the Crimson Star Human Race would have collapsed internally.

"Currently, expenses related to the mist already account for 30% of GDP. Adding another 20% won't make a significant difference. We should focus on technological breakthroughs and reduce the cost of the Void God Realm helmet as soon as possible. If we can reduce it to 10, all the problems will be solved."

Ji Fuyou Road.

Upon hearing this, Leo could only nod: "I will urge Chen Yunye and the others as soon as possible."

"In addition, once the forbidden areas of the mist in the country have been cleared out, we will shift our focus to the Heavenly Ranking War Department and establish an Expansion War Department under it."

Ji Fuyou said, "Red Star is not suitable for using the Qi Refining Mystic Technique as the base, but it is quite suitable for some other worlds! I will order that several civilizations with large populations, high average physical fitness, and relatively weak strength be selected as soon as possible to spread the Qi Refining Mystic Technique and the Void God Realm Perception Technique."

He added, "After their defeat in the Heavenly Ranking War, their elite forces were destroyed, and they are about to face an invasion of even more powerful alien beasts and demons. Refining Qi into Spirit, reaching the pinnacle of sublimation, and shifting their focus to the system of mutual exchange between the Void God Realm will be their only hope to turn the tide and allow their civilization to continue."

Leo nodded.

For those civilizations that have lost, this is indeed a glimmer of hope.

In the Realm of the Gods, everyone's experiences, insights, experiences, secret techniques, and inheritances can be exchanged without hindrance.

The difference between having a virtual god realm and not having one is like night and day in terms of the speed of progress of an entire civilization.

This can be seen from the rapid development of Red Star in recent times.

Ji Fuyou's transmission of the methods of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation and the Sense of the Void God Realm in another world truly gave them a glimmer of hope in their desperate situation.
