Chapter 111 Star Master
emperor yu's mountain villa.
upon seeing alkaid approaching, xie yi'er immediately stood up, "alkaid, your excellency."
alkaid nodded at him.
his gaze fell on a jade box, a sword box, and a square box about 1.2 meters in diameter, carved with exquisite patterns on its surface, in the hall.
seeing this, xie yi'er wasted no time and smiled as he opened the jade box first, "these are soul condensing pills, elixirs brought from the artifact sect by our xie family, personally refined by an official alchemist.
they have an astonishing effect on refining the heart and the spirit, theoretically, one bottle can enhance a person's divine intent or divine sense to a value equivalent of 20, which is the peak of a divine intent martial saint."
alkaid glanced at the box.
there was exactly one bottle inside.
then, xie yi'er moved to the box, entered the password, and it opened automatically, revealing a full-coverage battle armor supported by the internal structure of the box, appearing before alkaid.
"this is the mysterious moon battle armor."
the princess explained, "this entire armor uses superb craftsmanship. not only does its defensive capability surpass that of a 5s rank armor made from jinwu silk, but it also possesses significant heat resistance. wearing this armor, even in hundreds of degrees of blazing heat, will pose no danger in the short term. moreover, the patterns on the armor are actually a highly simplified formation..."
at this point, she paused, "the internal atomic arrangement of different materials causes various changes in the materials, this is actually the manifestation of the formation at a microscopic level.
these patterns, once connected to special energy, that is, the energy from spirit stones, can easily activate the internal atomic arrangement, enabling it to effectively counteract physical kinetic energy like a non-viscous fluid, causing different effects against different forces."
"formation patterns."
alkaid nodded his head.
although he had now only reached first rank in both the 'martial path' and 'artifact refining' professions involving formation, everything in the universe ultimately converged in the same way.
even if the 'martial path' profession was ranked higher, inevitably, one would come into contact with formations, talisman records, alchemy, artifact refining, and other auxiliary professions.
naturally, he also knew the formation patterns mastered by an array master.
the formations were similar to chemistry.
but they represent a concept more grand than chemistry.
they utilize a ubiquitous energy, spiritual power, causing it to react chemically with everything in the world, and demonstrate all sorts of unimaginable abilities.
for example, plasma shields, repulsion shields, and the particle leap phenomenon, to name a few.
in scientific terms, they are driven and performed by "dark energy" to produce various phenomena in the universe.
however, just like manipulating atomic arrangements is not a simple matter in modern society, utilizing formation patterns to produce various reactions and demonstrate defensive, offensive, supportive, and restorative properties is also quite advanced.
for this reason, owning such advanced technology as the mysterious moon armor was enough to prove its value.
"additionally, here is the thunderclap sword."
xie yi'er opened the sword box again, inside which lay a treasured sword emitting flowing light.
it looked significantly larger than the divine shadow sword, measuring over 1.4 meters in total length including the hilt.
"the thunderclap sword also contains formation patterns, harnessing the power of thunder. it can release highly penetrative electric currents during combat to paralyze the opponent, disrupting their blood flow and organ function.
moreover, if activated with spiritual power, the thunderclap sword can generate characteristics like 'shocking thunder' and 'purple thunder,' namely, releasing subsonic waves to impact the opponent and releasing visible thunder and lightning."
xie yi'er said this with a slight smile, "i wonder if alkaid, your excellency, is satisfied."
alkaid stepped forward and took the two treasures.
while examining them, he also observed the changes when transferring [businessman] experience to the [martial path] branch.
originally his [martial path] branch had reached ninth rank at 91%, but with these two treasures in hand, the progress rapidly climbed again, quickly reaching 98%, and pushing forward to 99%, and at the last moment...
it bore fruit!
broke through the shackles!
at that moment, his senses were starkly different from those of "humans".
he could not see images or visuals.
his "vision" was filled with countless pieces of information.
stay updated with empire
what light is composed of.
what constitutes matter.
what the essence of life is.
everything was dissected in the most fundamental manner before him, leaving no secrets hidden.
but the sheer volume of information was overwhelming, and alkaid, still with a "human" mindset, found it difficult to process, becoming quite confused just moments later, as if he were in a dreamy stupor.
"hmm!"
this dreamlike stupor lasted for a moment before an unprecedented fatigue washed over him.
alkaid grunted, quickly withdrawing from the high-dimensional perception that directly reached the essence of all things.
his consciousness gradually fell, returning to his physical body.
feeling the fatigue in his mind, alkaid felt as tired as when he was a mortal who had stayed awake for three days and nights, wishing he could close his eyes and fall into a deep sleep right away.
"is this...damage to the divine soul!?"
alkaid was alarmed.
struggling, he visualized the great sun suppressing god diagram while his mind was weary, to strengthen his divine soul.
he also quickly swallowed a soul condensing pill from the snow dragon xie family brought from the artifact sect for cultivation.
this slight damage to the divine soul was like having just gone through intense exercise; if he could maintain it, it undoubtedly equated to an exercise that broke through his limits.
having rich experience in nurturing the mind, alkaid naturally did not miss this opportunity.
more than two hours later, alkaid opened his eyes again.
the fatigue still lingered in his eyes.
but the divine light deep within his eyes was even stronger than before.
clearly, there had been significant progress in the realm of divine intent.
he squinted and surveyed his room, finding it slightly uncomfortable.
recalling the peculiar vision he had while merging with the ancient tree...
"truly inconceivable," he murmured softly.
the instant before, it was as if he had possessed the ancient tree's understanding and perception of the world.
it was like a human baby, obliviously opening its eyes for the first time to the rich and colorful world outside.
and before becoming a baby...
he was an ant, a mayfly, whose entire life's world was not even as expansive as what the human baby saw at a glance.
the impact of this understanding of life's essence, the dimensionality of vision, and transcendent cognition was soul-stirring.
it also made alkaid realize the origin of the "ancient tree" for the first time.
high-dimensional cognition.
a type...
that transcends beyond what humans can comprehend.
