Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 339 - 170: The Superior System, A Sudden Murder (9k)
Federation.
"One Leaf One World, is this just a half-plane?" The representative from the Xilin Business Alliance, Gao Longxing, spoke with aspiration, "What would a truly complete plane be like? How vast? If we could develop it long-term, why would the Federation need to advance towards the Nine States?"
Yao Heshan shook his head:
"Typical cosmic subsidiary half-planes are mostly not even as big as a single planet. The Po Suo Half-plane is special because it is one of the five Original Planes."
"Such original planes aren't suitable for deep and long-term exploration; they invite trouble. The Six Great Families have always kept their exploration of the Po Suo Half-plane to the outer layers. Only the successive Great Grandmasters of the Mu Family, seeking the remnants left by Marshal Mu, chose to venture deep into the half-plane, paying a huge price for it..."
Hearing this, the complexions of a few Heavenly Human Martial Artists changed slightly, recalling certain rumors.
The Mu Family has produced three Supreme Grandmasters over ten thousand years, a number that leads among the Six Great Families, but up to today, only one remains.
The disappearance of one of them was suspected to be related to the Po Suo Half-plane!
"Is the area these youngsters are exploring just the outer layer?" a Martial Artist asked.
Yao Heshan nodded:
"Of course, there's not much threat in the outer layers, if any risk at all, it's from other civilizations' young powerhouses, like the Forest of Group Stars, Black Sun Clan, Demon Eye Empire."
"That's also why the Federation has set the battlefield in the Po Suo Half-plane, to observe their performance against foreign races."
Someone squinted and commented: "They are all top-tier civilizations..."
"The Black Sun Clan and Demon Eye Empire, are they those two top-tier civilizations claiming to have divine bloodlines?"
"Correct."
"It is said that Luofeng Ancient Country was once a subsidiary of the Demon Eye Empire, sharing a secret realm known as [Divine Graveyard], and the cultivation system of Luofeng Ancient Country is built upon this realm."
Despite not directly contacting other civilizations, the Federation unavoidably interacts with strong individuals from other civilizations during explorations of cosmic secret realms and relics, like the current situation in the Po Suo Half-plane.
"Divine bloodlines... heh, the oldest being traceable back to millions of years ago, right? Who knows if their ancient ancestors are still alive."
"The bloodline system indeed saves a lot more resources for us in the Federation and is 'highly stable and productive'."
"If our Federation had also taken the Bloodline Path ten thousand years ago, we would also be a top-tier civilization by now."
Some nodded in agreement, while others shook their heads, and individuals privy to certain secrets, like Long Qingyang, had deep expressions.
The Bloodline Path...
It is a "civilization path" that only the top-level eternal fighters, those who have touched the Divine Barrier, are qualified to pass down.
In the early days, the Federation also had hopes to take this path, but it was vetoed by the earliest ancestors, deeming this path stable yet inevitably limiting, losing infinite possibilities.
"Do you think this path is superior?" someone retorted to the Martial Artist who spoke enviously earlier, sneering, "It's a chain, far less infinite in possibilities than our Federation Martial Arts."
Another person shook his head: "Don't be extreme, take the essence and discard the dregs. The Bloodline Path has its own merits. Frankly, isn't our Federation Martial Arts just another way of worshipping gods, using the power of God? If one day we lose the power of Hel, I fear the future generations of Martial Artists will hardly be able to forge a superior cultivation body!"
"That's why the Sixth Limit for Heavenly Persons came into existence! The fundamental meaning of the Sixth Limit is to enable Martial Artists to amass Heart Electricity and forge superior cultivation bodies without relying on Hel's power or being within the Four Guardian Stars!"
"Indeed so, but you must admit the Sixth Limit has significantly raised the threshold for creating a superior cultivation body! If this continues, the high-end combat power of our Federation will greatly diminish."
For a moment, the crowd erupted into endless debate.
Long Qingyang with his arms crossed glanced at Yao Heshan.
The Bloodline Path is when predecessors have reached the endpoint of a path and made it inheritable,
similarly, as when the original Daoist Masterof the Dragon Tiger Dojo reached the endpoint on the Dragon Tiger Dao path, and passed it down in the form of bloodline and soul.
The later generations are essentially born with the Dragon Tiger Dao Body and merely have to follow the path.
However, this also means that Martial Artists with the Dragon Tiger Bloodline can't switch to or cultivate the Formless Dao Body or Heavenly Sword Dao Body.
Moreover, their cultivation body progress is equivalent to the concentration of their bloodline; to change after birth is extremely difficult.
This cultivation system means the whole civilization can be soldiers, but also loses some "possibilities."
The advantages and disadvantages are both very clear.
To say whether it's superior or inferior to the Federation Martial Arts is actually hard to determine.
As the Federation Martial Arts not only relies on the existence of Hel but also the emergence of Nether Sea.
"Hey, finally there's an image!"
Someone suddenly exclaimed as an overhead viewpoint finally appeared on the projection.
People quickly shifted their gaze.
"Hey, isn't that Ji Jingqiu? Wow, it's only been a short time since it started, and he's already got an Elf girl by his side?"
"Tsk tsk, a young man being so romantic, this boy has a limitless future! Qingyang, congratulations!"
"I've heard a rumor that a thousand years ago, the Federation and the Forest of Group Stars actually had a good relationship, but it was severed due to certain events, not sure if it's true."
"Forest of Group Stars... back then, they almost became our allies in the Federation, too bad it was later ruined by someone, what a pity."
Due to the limited perspective, it was impossible to view the point of view of all Martial Artists simultaneously, requiring everyone to vote on whose view to follow.
This gave certain individuals in the crowd a temporary sigh of relief, temporarily not having to worry about their young family members developing ties with foreigners and being exposed.
