Chapter 665: Chapter 40 A Whole New Approach (3/3)

An Jing dismantled the armoring plates of the battle puppet, extracting the Spirit Qi Furnace and various key components, stuffing them all into his Great Void Magical Instrument.

Although the battle puppet was destroyed, its most core internal nucleus and various essential Heavenly Crafted Organs could all be salvaged.

An Jing currently lacked the ability to create a battle puppet, but Bright Mirror Sect and Endless Heavens both had people who could! As long as he could master the technology of the puppet, even if only reproducing a tenth of its power, it would already be fully sufficient for An Jing’s current needs.

Not to mention, even creating an empty battle puppet would serve as an experimental material, allowing many Martial Practitioners to understand the essence of ’Divine Abnormality’ and ’Formation Realm’!

Essentially, what the Feather Transformation Dao Cultivators were doing was taking a shortcut. By pooling the efforts of many, they skipped the most difficult ’Body Refinement’ stage of cultivation like Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, using ready-made mechanical structures, crafted by the Heavenly Mechanism, to achieve similar Divine Skill effects!

What difference is there essentially between the mechanical organs inside the Puppetry body, the Heavenly Mechanism Wonderous Machine, and the ’Divine Abnormalities’ of Martial Arts?

"Turning oneself into a Divine Weapon Treasure... Taibai Luminous Godly Ban sounds somewhat odd, even giving the impression it’s like making a wedding dress for someone else, becoming a weapon in the hands of others through a Demon Dao Divine Skill, I indeed had suspicions in the beginning that Subdue Evil intended to use this technique to Body Seize me."

Gazing intently at the inner structure of the battle puppet, An Jing muttered to himself: "Great Dao leads to the same destination by different routes. In fact, Taibai Luminous Godly Ban is not about making oneself into a weapon. This is just an overly rigid way of thinking from Sword Cultivators. In actuality, what it can create is a ’Protecting Dao Treasure Raft’!"

Ignoring the dissatisfied remarks from Subdue Evil in his Divine Sea, like ’In reality, it’s the people who turn into swords and become Sword Escape Divine Light that are the most numerous!’ An Jing’s train of thought was completely unfurled at this moment.

"The mortal world is a sea of suffering, with individuals dwelling within; the body is a boat, the soul is the person within that boat... Taibai Luminous Godly Ban can completely polish every single detail of one’s body into a killing Divine Weapon!"

"For example, my Divine Skill, Condensing Qi into Soldiers, could simply create more related Formations and Magic Prohibitions within my body, so when needed, with just a thought, my whole body could forcefully release ’Invisible Sword Qi’, then attack in the form of Floating Swords!"

"In such a case, putting aside the lethality, an ambush would be absolutely unforeseeable!"

"Another example is another Divine Skill of mine ’Dissolving Troops into Spirit’, during a battle it could completely absorb the surrounding Weapon Fiend and Gold Fiend, just like this Puppetry Armor, armoring myself, transforming into various weapons—simply turning into a Ship-Slicing Blade is possible, but I can certainly find many more methods to use it!"

Thinking it, he did it.

Before everyone’s eyes, An Jing closed his eyes, and his hands formed the Sword Finger gesture.

Amidst the startled gazes of everyone, vague and translucent Qi Swords suddenly appeared around An Jing’s body.

These Qi Swords swirled and danced around him, like living fishes circling, and as lively as birds or comets revolving around a big star.

"Floating Swords?!"

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Guang couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand. She watched mesmerized as golden-red Qi Blades surrounded An Jing: "No, this is... Sky Sword? But why are they phantoms..."

[He learned it just by watching once?]

The Steel Skeleton was taken aback. He knew very well that An Jing wasn’t skilled in this technique before; he had grasped the essentials of the technique through observation: [This kind of talent, this kind of talent... is simply a natural-born Sword Immortal!]

In reality, it wasn’t that he had learned it on the fly. An Jing had accumulated many related experiences and learned a lot about Formations and Artifact Refining in the Tianyuan Realm before he could quickly decipher the fundamentals of these magic Skills.

Not to mention, he was in fact a Martial Meridian Martial Artist, with a cultivation realm that was already there.

To the natives of the Tianyuan Realm, An Jing’s talent seemed destined not just for the Purple Mansion Golden Core, but even for the spawning of a Dao Embryo, a Primordial Spirit! His ability to learn by watching once was simply too incredible.

As for the mercenary and the two Third Middle School students, they didn’t quite understand what they witnessed, but simply thought An Jing was very powerful.

An Jing himself wasn’t too concerned about everyone’s gazes. He was more focused on the new skill he had just mastered.

Raising his hand, the sword light twisted, and eight Qi Soldier flying swords converged like a blossoming lotus, forming a simple Sword Array. Instantly, streaks of Sword Qi shot out, piercing through the wall of a fortress not far away.

"I’ve got it!"

At this moment, An Jing laughed heartily.

He figured out how he should utilize the Primordial Spirit Sword Lotus!

Currently, the Sword Lotus was merely a launcher for the Great Annihilating Sword Intent, but now, having mastered the technique of the ’Floating Sword’, it could serve as the base of the Sword Array. An Jing could use this as a foundation, combined with the Condensing Qi into Soldiers Technique and the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, to construct a hundred variation Sword Arrays with various effects!

Thus, a single magical treasure could exhibit countless effects, which is far more useful than merely using it as a token of Divine Skill as An Jing had been doing!

"At this stage, I have grasped the key to the Feather Transformation Dao. Using this method to break through the Foundation Establishment level of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban will be much more powerful than merely transforming into a Magic Artifact, a Divine Sword!"

An Jing planned in his mind.

The Taibai Luminous Godly Ban, as a technique from above the Lingxiao, was truly boundlessly wondrous.

Having realized these things, An Jing also understood why high-level techniques were indeed high-level techniques.

The source of all techniques is the Dao; the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban is close to the Dao, hence all acquired techniques are similar to it.

The Dao can give birth to techniques, and techniques can be broken down into skills; the conglomerates of the Tianyuan Realm amass the ’Artifacts of Skills’ by pooling collective strength, unify them to achieve creations like the Puppetry bodies for battle and the mass-producible ’Dao Instruments’ like the Fengdu Guards.

Being able to traverse between two realms and understand the fundamental philosophies of both realms is my greatest fortune and gain!

"An Xuan..."

At this moment, Mrs. Guang approached cautiously, and she asked tentatively, "Is your level of Body Refinement... already at the Foundation Establishment Realm?"

"Yes."

An Jing didn’t intend to hide it. Based on his previous performance, pretending to be merely a Qi Refinement practitioner would be too difficult: "I was born with a Divine Abnormality. When I began cultivating, my body was like copper skin and iron bones, and now it’s approaching the Vajra Unbreakable realm. Even Foundation Establishment Cultivators who specialize in Body Refinement are only somewhat on par with me."

"The innate Divine Abnormality of the Heavenly Gold Spirit Root? That’s indeed not surprising."

Strength itself is the discernment of scriptures. Mrs. Guang now revealed an expression of realization: "Nian Quan’s Spiritual Pupil also came from his innate Divine Abnormality born from his Heavenly Water Spiritual Root. However, his needs further cultivation to unleash its full potential, unlike An Xuan, who is already on the right path!"

"That being said, should we proceed further into the Fortress Area?"
