Chapter 311: Innate Awakener Chen Chu, Bloodline Physique, Three in One (II)
Chen Chu\'s earpiece crackled with static, followed by the voice of the front desk receptionist. "Mr. Chu, there are two military personnel here to see you."
Chen Chu\'s eyes shifted slightly. "Please ask them to come up. I\'ll be waiting for them in the small restaurant on the seventeenth floor."
"Understood."
Soon, led by a staff member, the two imposing military personnel arrived.
Chen Chu was already standing at the door to greet them. Upon seeing the two, he politely said, "Thank you for bringing the items."
The leading young man responded in a deep voice, "No need to thank us, Mr. Chu. Let\'s proceed with the handover."
As they spoke, the three of them moved to the restaurant’s lounge area. One of the special agents began recording the process while the other carefully placed the black and gold briefcase on the table and infused it with true power.
Click!
Accompanied by the unique aura of true power, the black case opened, revealing two top-level secret scriptures made of white jade.
"Mr. Chu, please proceed with the verification."
"Alright."
Chen Chu nodded, picking up one of the secret scriptures. Following the established procedure, he first infused it with true power and willpower. Immediately, the edges of the secret scripture glowed, emitting an electronic mechanical voice.
"Middle-stage of the Sixth Heavenly Realm, true power intensity verified. Spiritual fluctuations verified... Key verified."
Next, he moved on to the second secret scripture. Under the curious gazes of everyone present, Chen Chu swiftly completed the unlocking process for both secret scriptures. Only then did the two special agents salute solemnly.
"The handover is complete, Mr. Chu. We have other tasks, so we must take our leave."
"Allow me to see you off."
Chen Chu courteously escorted the two special agents out of the restaurant, then returned to the table.
Qingqiu Mingyue’s white fox ears twitched, her pretty face brimming with excitement. "This is my first time witnessing a secret scripture handover. It looked so serious!"
Yan Ruoyi chuckled lightly. "That\'s normal. Such strictness serves both to protect the secret scriptures and to show respect for the knowledge of their creators. Everyone who can create a secret scripture and pave a new path possesses great perseverance and wisdom.
"Although many secret scriptures from twenty or thirty years ago may not compare to those created by Ninth Heavenly Realm experts today, their contributions can’t be denied. Without these pioneers, their successors wouldn’t be able to stand on the shoulders of giants and reach further."
"Miss Yan is absolutely right."
Walking back, Chen Chu nodded, saying, "Creating a secret scripture from scratch is as difficult as reaching the sky. The more I deduce, the more I admire those who came before."
Chen Chu\'s tone was sincere as he spoke. If it weren\'t for those people perfecting the modern true martial art cultivation system, structure, and guidelines, it would take him at least a year... no, several years to construct and deduce his own true martial art secret scripture.
But now, with three secret scriptures for referencing and extracting their essence, he was confident he could quickly deduce and create the seventh stage\'s secret scripture.
After breakfast, the four of them headed to the backstage area of the Porcelain Stadium.
Despite having come here for several days and having the safety assurance from Qingqiu Minghui, Chen Chu still went into the dressing room first to look around.
After confirming there were no issues inside, Chen Chu turned back and nodded slightly to Yan Ruoyi.
Qingqiu Mingyue wasn’t annoyed by this, but instead praised him. “Chu Batian, if I didn’t know that you started midway, I would have thought you were a professional military member. You always stay vigilant, never let your guard down.”
“Miss Mingyue, you flatter me. It’s my duty.”
Li Daoyi chuckled and said, “Brother Chu, I’ll leave this place to you. I’m going to look around.”
Chen Chu nodded indifferently. “Go ahead.”
Since he and Li Daoyi had different roles, he didn’t mind Li Daoyi wandering around all day.
While they were talking, Qingqiu Mingyue had already run to a distant clothes rack and excitedly picked up a luxurious white dress, saying, “Sister Ruoyi, I’ll try this one first.”
“Go ahead. I’ll try on that red gown.”
While the two women went to the changing rooms to put on their stage outfits with the help of some female dressers, Chen Chu found a chair, sat down, and took out the Eight-Armed Divine Ape secret scripture from North Lin.
As Chen Chu’s consciousness sank into the scripture, a black-gold vertical pupil appeared in a dim space. This space was empty except for the towering hundred-meter-tall eight-armed Rampage Ape and the surrounding floating text of the secret scripture’s general outline.
When a true martial art cultivator broke through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm, the complete rune they constructed would resonate with the heavens and earth, forming a complete "external incarnation".
This was known as the True Martial Phantom. It was an external body containing the cultivator\'s Dao, filled with vast transcendent energy that could unleash tremendous power.
However, North Lin cultivators who followed the path of integrating martial arts with mutated beast genes were different.
Their route combined martial arts with purifying the bloodline, and when they broke through to the Seventh Realm, they wouldn’t form a True Martial Phantom, but instead undergo a reverse bloodline transformation into a colossal beast form.
Of course, this didn’t mean fully turning into a colossal beast; otherwise, it would be more convenient to go out and tame a level 7 colossal beast.
This transformation was a human-beast integration, possessing the strength and abilities of a colossal beast while retaining a human form, becoming a more perfect and powerful lifeform.
The secret scripture involved resolving the conflicts between the four types of colossal beast bloodline abilities, and the secret art for the third physical transformation upon breaking through to the Seventh Heavenly Realm, which caught Chen Chu\'s attention.
Li Hao’s Bull Demon Battle Body and his own Divine Might Tyrant Body belonged to the second physical transformation, granting them extraordinary strength far beyond their realm.
If his physique could undergo another transformation, his combat strength would reach another level. However, the secret art for this third transformation required very demanding conditions: primarily the essence of a level 8 colossal beast of the same type, along with three essences of level 7 colossal beasts.
This was also the core of blending the four colossal beast abilities. Consuming the level 8 essence internally would further enhance the core ability\'s strength, while the three level 7 essences would be inscribed as runes all over the body, with part of their abilities being absorbed.
This requirement was practically a dead end for ordinary cultivators. Under normal circumstances, a Sixth Heavenly Realm cultivator refining a single portion of level 8 colossal beast\'s essence would need to exert all of their effort to operate their martial arts; otherwise, their physical body would be poisoned.
Simultaneously absorbing and inscribing four different essences was out of the question entirely. However, this didn’t seem like it would be a problem for Chen Chu.
He only needed the Thunder Beast’s abilities, so the conflict between internal and external use wasn’t significant. Nonetheless, these were runes related to the Seventh Heavenly Realm of gene martial arts, so they couldn’t be used carelessly.
After finishing the general outline, Chen Chu slowly put down the scripture. After some contemplation, he took out the Celestial Battle Beast Mech. He wanted to first review the general outlines of both secret scriptures to see which structures and concepts were useful to him, then selectively comprehend those parts.
Compared to East Xia and North Lin, the path taken by West Meng, integrating mechs, was different. Cultivators over there regarded themselves as "engines and operating systems,” combining technological martial arts to follow the path of mechanical ascension.
In the past, there had been many imaginative ideas during technological development, but they were hindered by issues like energy utilization, material limitations, and power constraints. However, after the advent of the New Era, many issues that restricted technological advancement were no longer problems.
Even spacecraft could be built, though the current speed couldn’t quickly leave the star system, so space exploration was temporarily shelved.
Soon, after reviewing the Celestial Battle Beast Mech’s general outline, Chen Chu\'s eyes lit up.
This secret scripture mentioned a cultivation method to refine space, creating a "world" of power, which intrigued Chen Chu. The so-called world creation involved constructing more than two energy storage worlds in the external mech parts, akin to batteries.
However, these "batteries,” due to being inscribed with space storage runes and integrated with abilities and materials, could store vast amounts of special energy. For instance, two worlds possessing thunderbolt or flame power could grant the Celestial Battle Beast Mech explosive and sustained power.
When gradually enhanced to the Ninth Heavenly Realm, those two energy worlds could even merge with the domain, forming a star domain with gravitational pull akin to celestial bodies.
Unfortunately, wanting everything meant Chen Chu would have to dismantle the foundational secret scripture he had already half-conceived. Moreover, trying to make East Xia\'s true martial art the core, and then integrating parts of a gene and mech martial art, would be extremely difficult, almost impossible.
The higher-ups of the Federation had considered such ideas, and top-level martial artists had researched them. The inspiration for true martial arts to absorb mutated beast essence to enhance the physical body and even change the physique came from gene martial arts, and some transcendent weapons came from mech battle bodies.
Someone as greedy as Chen Chu, however, was a first.
If it were before he had enhanced the Double Pupil of the Void, Chen Chu would have thought about this problem and quickly dismissed it as not worth the time, due to its high difficulty.
But now... "True Martial Phantom, bloodline transformation, external loading."
Chen Chu squinted his eyes, a bold idea emerging in his mind.
