Master of Kaidan
Chapter 435: In The End, People Must Practice Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 435: Chapter 435: In The End, People Must Practice Immortal Cultivation

"Is there still no GM making such a big fuss?" Feng Xue looked at the players on the forum who were already making a huge row about balance and felt slightly disappointed. However, at the same time, another idea began to emerge—

Could it be that the game Kaidan, like Infinite City, is also waiting for a "master"?

However, Infinite City waiting for a master is itself a legend, so Feng Xue just thought about it briefly before immediately shifting her attention to other areas.

Like—

The combination of Kaidan and humans.

"Ugh, why hasn’t that cheap apprentice gone offline yet..." Feng Xue thought of this and felt a bit impatient. After all, her disciples had just logged on, and asking them to go offline right away was a bit too unrealistic.

But Feng Xue couldn’t just kill them either. After all, no one knows whether the death in this Kaidan would dissipate and then resurrect over time like in the world view of Infinite City, or if it would simply condense another one.

If it were just that, it wouldn’t be too bad. But in the end, the real persons behind these game accounts were still alive. If she accidentally caused any problems to their real bodies, her conscience would feel a bit uneasy.

Of course, the preciousness of experimental specimens was also one of the reasons.

"After going through such a phase, it will be more difficult to attract enough ’Identity’ with strange characters again, but it seems quite easy to create game streamers. I’ll try packaging some streamers later."

Feng Xue suppressed the idea of killing a disciple directly to test the real-life Kaidan resurrection mechanism, landed back on the ground, changed her identity, and merged back into the crowd. Then she applied the Poisonous Insect Body to the disciples who were piloting Gundams.

Although she had applied Poisonous Insect Body before, at that time, the players were simply accounts with too much information, and the Poisonous Insect Body was washed away after logging off. Now that the players have become Kaidan, she wanted to see if there would be any changes.

"If there’s no change, I’ll have to search manually."

Feng Xue sighed and didn’t continue toiling in the game. Whether hidden NPCs or players, none were roles that needed long-term maintenance. It was better to appear occasionally so that everyone remembered such an existence. If it appeared too often, Kaidan wouldn’t be so strange anymore.

...

The sky gradually darkened, and converted to Yan Country’s real-world time, it should be near dawn now. Feng Xue looked at her cheap apprentices piloting Gundams to the north into higher-level Kaidan zones and sighed helplessly. Given the current situation, she’d probably have to wait a bit longer.

However, although the player side hadn’t been verified yet, there was some good news that had been expected—

New tags had started to appear on her.

Tags like "Outrageous," "Oddball," and "Troublemaker" might seem like jesters’ stuff at a glance, but Feng Xue, who was well aware of the strength of the comedy genre, was not dissatisfied at all. She was even pleased because these tags likely came from the descriptions by the batch of players who had uploaded videos about the "Wandering Merchant Player."

If she could really condense this Kaidan, there might be even more things she could do afterwards.

Time slowly passed, and just as Feng Xue was so bored that she started betting with herself on when these players would log off, the game’s anti-addiction system popped up a warning first. She then remembered that she had been online for nearly twenty hours.

"F*ck!"

Feng Xue cursed softly and immediately chose to log off. She then took out a book from "Introduction to Escape," placed a jump-point down, and returned to the Jianghu game world as a hidden profession NPC. However, as soon as she logged on, she discovered that two of her Poisonous Insect Bodies left in this world were missing.

"F*ck!"

Swearing twice in a short time, Feng Xue truly didn’t anticipate that just during a process of "making amends," some players couldn’t resist logging off.

But now it was still early morning, a time when no player in the real world would suddenly think of "wanting to learn a craft." She could only walk obediently to her constructed Gundam factory. She then left a letter for her disciples Yun Yao, telling them their master had gone north to save the country. She asked them not to pilot Gundams and only to come find her after they could use their current martial arts more effectively. After that, she slowly left Dahua Village. This time, however, she wasn’t really heading north but instead pushed open the door of someone’s house and returned to the Tower of Babylon.

"I have some time, let’s go back to the real world."

Holding a stack of fifth-generation mecha blueprints, Feng Xue walked through the gate controlled by Infinite City’s Yan Country office and arrived in Xijing. Seeing the "Qinggong Level 4 Special Lane" and "Qinggong Level 6 Special Lane" that had already appeared on the streets, she couldn’t help but smile.

But from those somewhat crude roads, Feng Xue couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful. Although she had chosen "Mechanical" as the least compatible element with the Martial World to shape the Kaidan more quickly, on further thought, this martial arts online game might actually be better suited for a Kaidan of "while others practice martial arts, you cultivate as an Immortal."

"Next time I’m in a world like the Martial World, remember to introduce Immortal Cultivation skills." Feng Xue took out her notebook and recorded this, although Immortal Cultivation wouldn’t necessarily be stronger than High Martial arts. Even many shoddy Immortal Worlds didn’t perform as well as High Martial ones.

But in one aspect, Immortal Worlds were something High Martial worlds couldn’t compare with—that is, the leap in civilization level.

Although there is a saying of "stop the spear to cultivate virtue," in the end, martial arts focuses the skill points on destruction. Even if its essence is to explore the power of the body, in this world, the essence that supports martial arts is Kaidan.

In comparison, Immortals might lack the destructive power of High Martial arts, but they will certainly win out in terms of versatility (for example, Sea Tiger is superpowered, and Feng Yun in the later stages is basically Immortal cultivation).

For example, High Martial arts could destroy a city with one move, but they definitely couldn’t build a city instantly. If they could, it would definitely not be martial arts.

Of course, this may seem a bit too absolute. For instance, instantly creating an ice castle by freezing the air with icy Internal Strength, but there’s no doubt in the system that, with the same creative power, Immortal cultivation, or even magical systems, would certainly be more effortless in achieving similar effects than martial arts would.

Now, the real world, serving as the main base, was in a very strange state. Combat power had increased, but the corresponding technology had not caught up. If this continued, it’s possible that in a few generations, technology would be suppressed by martial arts and, even if not eliminated, it would certainly stagnate.

As for Feng Xue, to ensure that her own foundation was stable enough, she naturally wouldn’t let the people of Yan Country focus too narrowly. If she could provide a fast track to jump onto the Immortal cultivation civilization, and then patch it up with something like technology of Immortal cultivation, her existence could be considered truly secure.

"Of course, this is assuming Infinite City doesn’t screw it up."

Feng Xue muttered to herself, then pulled out her phone and dialed Chen Xiyao’s number:

"Hey, I’m back. Help me get a batch of steel. Yes, if possible, also bring me some palladium and helium-3. Tell the higher-ups that there’s a surprise in store!"
