Chapter 495: Chapter 26: The Spirit Clan’s Predicament_2
This transformation of the Spirit World mainly revolved around range and simulation extent.
Thus it did not require too much effort.
However, for many people these transformations were world-altering.
Especially for those who stood at the pinnacle of power.
For individuals like Mo Yang who had already broken through to higher realms, the Spirit World’s assistance, though still present, was greatly diminished, but after experiencing it this time, they felt as if they were back to the beginning.
“By increasing the simulation, indeed, when I tried to break through, I felt a true sensation again. Is the Spirit World also progressing?” Yan Tian gained further insight into the Spirit World.
Indeed, the Spirit World was the greatest opportunity.
“Is the progress of the Spirit World because we used it to break through and gather data?”
It must be said that this person’s guess was quite accurate.
But—
“Forget it, don’t think too much, even if this is true, we still need to use it.”
Everyone had experienced how useful the Spirit World was; it wasn’t something that could be simply abandoned.
This was true even for top Great Grandmasters.
“The more realistic it becomes, the easier it feels to break through.”
The more realistic the simulation, the greater the help in breaking through in reality.
The top Great Grandmasters realized this and thus intensely dedicated themselves to seclusion.
Besides these individuals, those most affected were people with special physiques.
“Have you guys noticed? Our special physiques seem to have been ‘brought in’ as well!”
It was a well-known fact that special physiques could not manifest within the Spirit World.
Now, this belief was shattered!
“This is good news, now it’s easier to develop our physiques without worrying about consuming our source.”
After studying at Datong College, they knew that every use of their physiques consumed their source, and although it was recoverable unless excessively used, it still greatly impacted their cultivation.
However, without using their physiques, they couldn’t cultivate to their full potential.
This had always been a dilemma.
“The Spirit World helps us solve problems, it’s time to catch up!”
Now, in the eighteenth year of the new era, Datong College had been open for ten years.
The training cycle at Datong College was six years, and the students from the first session had already graduated; the academy already had students from various academic years. Unfortunately, when he with his special physique enrolled, even the youngest year had been studying for half a year.
As the cream of the crop at Datong College were ahead by half a year, those with special physiques couldn’t catch up.
But now, the update of the Spirit World presented an opportunity.
With the ability to develop physiques without restraint, they were very confident.
…
In summary, the update of the Spirit World brought tremendous benefits to everyone, making the Cultivation World prosperous.
But this was true only for the Human Race.
For the Spirit Clan, it was not the same.
Thanks to the Transformation Technique provided by Wang Sheng, the Spirit Clan integrated seamlessly into the Human Race, and after nearly a decade, Humans had gradually become accustomed to the various odd forms of the Spirit Clan.
Though there were conflicts, they were just the usual disputes.
Relations between Humans and Spirits were quite harmonious.
However, this was true only for those Spirit Clan members whose powers were not very strong.
Many high-level members of the Spirit Clan were considerably worried.
The Dragon Clan Elder called together other Spirit Clan Elders, all of whom used the Transformation Technique for convenience.
“You all must have realized it by now, we the Spirit Clan can’t continue like this, the Human Race has produced over ten individuals surpassing Great Grandmasters, while our Spirit Clan has none. If this continues, it’s not a good sign,” the Dragon Clan Elder expressed his deep concerns.
The Turtle Clan Elder shared the same sentiment: “This is a world of cultivation, if the Spirit Clan does not have any powerful experts breaking through, even if the Human Race does not intend so, the Spirit Clan might completely become a vassal to the Human Race.”
Currently, the integration of the Spirit Clan with the Human Race was more like a merger of different ethnicities, where status was equal.
But if the Spirit Clan continued without supreme experts,
some things would be out of unilateral control.
It would not be integration anymore, but subjugation.
Other Spirit Clan Elders, who had led the Spirit Clan for hundreds of years, naturally realized these problems.
But—
“Cultivation is not something that can be rushed. We’ve been practicing the Human Race’s Qi Blood Martial Arts, and we are too far behind. Catching up will still take time unless we completely give up and solely follow the Human Race path,” said a White Ape.
A telling point!
The Spirit Clan can hardly catch up with the Human Race in cultivation unless they diligently follow their path.
At this moment, another elder spoke up, “Even if we follow the Human Race’s path, it’s not that simple. Ever since the Destiny Dynasty disappeared, our Spirit Clan has also returned to its origins. Cultivating the Human Race’s path has become incredibly difficult compared to before. Unless we completely transform into humans!”
Upon hearing this, all the elders fell silent.
If they were willing to completely become humans, they wouldn’t have persisted for thousands of years.
“Hehe, even if we wanted to turn into humans, it’s not that simple anymore,” a voice echoed faintly.
The elders were taken aback.
Since the fall of the Destiny Dynasty, they couldn’t even become humans if they wanted to.
The Dragon Clan Elder glanced at the other elders, obviously troubled.
This issue was a lingering effect of the Destiny Dynasty, not easily resolved.
He had no good solutions either.
However, just then, an elder seemed to have thought of something and said, “What do you think, if our talents were to return, would there be a chance?”
The Spirit Clan’s talent was their greatest asset.
It was also the most powerful means at the disposal of the Spirit Clan.
But a long time ago, their talents had disappeared with the emergence of the Destiny Dynasty.
“Talent is indeed a good approach, but although there are signs of talents returning, no clan member has truly awoken their talents yet.”
The Spirit Clan was very aware of their own bodies.
They knew their talents were gradually returning.
“It’s been ten years since we first felt the return of our talents, but even now, ten years later, no clan member has awakened. Do we really have to wait another decade?”
To speak of ten years— even five or six years was too long for the Spirit Clan to wait.
They were well aware that now was a critical period for advancement. If they did not seize the opportunity, they might fall far behind in ten years.
All the elders fell silent again!
When special physiques began appearing amongst the Human Race, many elders believed their own talents would also return.
However, a year had passed, and the Spirit Clan still showed no signs of awakening.
Eventually, the meeting dispersed.
They had no good solutions for breaking the deadlock.
Either a Spirit Clan member would find a cultivation path suitable for the Spirit Clan, or the talents would return, and they would follow the path of their ancient ancestors. Although these paths did not surpass those of the Great Grandmaster, they were definitely suitable for the Spirit Clan.
As long as it was suitable, the Spirit Clan was confident in utilizing the Spirit World to pursue higher paths.
But neither of these methods were within their control.
So they could only disperse the meeting and return to seek breakthroughs.
Heavenly cycles move in nines, escaping one.
Amidst the worries of the Spirit Clan elders, good news arrived from their station in the Three Counties.
“I, Long Lie of the Spirit Clan, have today broken through to Great Grandmaster, established the Spirit Path, and all in the Spirit Clan may now cultivate it!”
Wang Sheng naturally noticed this.
This was another acquaintance who had once transported him.
“Who would have thought it was he who broke through the realm above Great Grandmaster?”
But after observing further, he was not surprised as he sensed a familiar aura.
Long Lie had once seen him and the Hanhai Dragon King fight, and his vision was incomparable to others.
In fact, one could say, other than him, no one from either the Human Race or the Spirit Clan had witnessed higher-level battles.
With this breakthrough, what Long Lie demonstrated was very similar to the Hanhai Dragon King.
“It seems that back then, Long Lie must have gained something.”
This opportunity was exactly what Long Lie needed for his breakthrough.
Not only that—
“I once sensed an unusual energy in Long Lie’s body, thinking it was the Spirit Clan’s talent. Now, it seems this talent has likely awakened—a double surprise indeed, surely a stroke of good luck for the Spirit Clan.”
Under the cover of the Spirit World, he also knew of the Spirit Clan’s predicament.
The breakthrough of Long Lie momentarily solved all their issues.
“Inside the Spirit Clan, there should be great joy…”
