119: Chapter 119 Unique System, Staple Food Spiritual Plants, Energy Diffusion

It set up an energy furnace here to store mana, combining it with the energy transmitted from the formation nodes to produce job-change stones.

According to 'galaxy general knowledge', the job-change stones for Transcendent paths have different, unique condensation methods depending on the specific Transcendent path.

Some even require the sacrifice of life or the performance of other rituals to produce job-change stones.

And this is one of the limitations to the large-scale dissemination of Transcendent paths.

Naturally, only Transcendent paths that are highly universal and easy to produce job-change stones for will have more lives practicing them.

Only then is it possible to give birth to more Transcendent Life and perfect the path system.

The Golden Human Race, who use Golden Magic as their main cultivation path, undergo job-changes through a type of Golden Magic core.

Although the Golden Magic core is also a core condensed from Golden Magic energy, it possesses the characteristic of Golden Nature that does not shift.

Even if the life that underwent the job-change does not achieve Transcendent status, this core will precipitate from within their body after death.

After special processing, it can be used for the next job-change.

The Silver Human Race conducts collective job-changes through large-scale Silver rituals, making them the group with the largest base of sub-Transcendent Professionals among Three Human Races.

The Bronze Human Race, on the other hand, has abandoned the traditional energy crystal job-change stones. They have the Transcendent source cast large bronze buildings, and by living and studying inside for about 10 years, there is a probability of undergoing a job-change for a sub-profession.

Such a unique job-change method, which transcends the ordinary practice of having Transcendent sources or high-priced Professionals condense job-change stones, is the result of their development over tens of millions of years.

It is precisely through such methods, continuously accumulating a base and pioneering the path forward, that they have remained prosperous and enduring.

This counts as a positive cycle; if production were difficult and efficiency low in the early stages...

...then it would be difficult to resist the competition from other Transcendent traditions after 500 years.

Even within those 500 years, they would be replaced by traditions that would disseminate their Transcendent paths even at the risk of being punished by the [Galactic Extraordinary Council].

And the number of Transcendent paths that a civilization can give birth to is actually relatively limited.

Because once the first new Transcendent path appears, it will squeeze the survival space for other potential Transcendent paths.

According to statistics from the [Galactic Extraordinary Council], most civilizations, 500 years after the Professional trial...

...can give birth to between 5 and 10 unique Transcendent paths.

Some even perish for the most part due to the competition between Transcendent paths.

A month passed gradually. After these 50 students gradually mastered the cultivation techniques and spells, large areas of spirit fields were reclaimed on Spirit Plant Peak.

According to practical needs, the Incarnation established the Hundred Arts Peak.

It was provided for the many disciples who were interested in and talented in talismans, alchemy, formations, and artifacts to conduct research.

They would collect and integrate the research results from all sides, compiling them into systematic inherited knowledge.

It was supervised by Captain Chen Ping, who was skilled in spirit plant cultivation, and recruited deacons and students with talent in this area to conduct research.

Surprisingly, the three individuals from the Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist schools—Li Zhenyun, Daoist Master Sumu, and Councillor Yixiu...

...based on the Incarnation's [Tianhe Xuanzhen Qi Refining Formula] cultivation technique and the [Heaven-Receiving Qi-Refining Law-Imitating Profound Truth Talisman], combined with the classics of their respective schools, compiled simpler and more accessible chapters on Spirit Nourishment, Essence Cultivation, and Qi Refining.

These could be considered a type of preschool education book.

Daoist Lu Xinyu reported their research results to the Incarnation, which even surprised him.

"Since they have talent in this area, Hundred Arts Peak can also invite the three of them.

Combining the research of the three teachings on talismans, alchemy, formations, and artifacts with the general outlines and theories I left behind, perhaps there will be some achievements that will be helpful to the perfection of our system."

"Yes. Additionally, there have been some results in the area of spirit plants."

"Oh, tell me about them."

"These days, those few who came from the Academy of Sciences to learn...

...combined our path of spirit plants and spirit herbs to cultivate the four major staple foods: rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes."

As the students' life levels increased, the amount of food they needed to consume every day became greater and greater.

The official transport teams also grew larger, though this was nothing to the nation.

But after some time, with the appearance of a large number of cultivators, high-energy food also became an urgent matter.

"We have now cultivated wheat and rice spirit plants. Besides tasting better, they contain a small amount of Vital Qi energy inside. Those below level 3 life only need to eat a small bowl to be full."

Hearing these results, the Incarnation was quite pleased.

"In this regard, the Spirit Plant Hall must prioritize designating an experimental zone specifically to cultivate higher-level, high-energy food."

"To cultivate and grow faster and better, the research and development of these basic resources must also keep up."

"The disciple will keep this in mind."

As the Vital Qi spread out and drifted to the outside world, some cultivation-type Professionals began to gather in the Yangtze and Yellow River basins.

They discovered that practicing in these places yielded better results and faster improvement speeds.

Of course, there were also some Mutant creatures and even ferocious beasts that began to pursue the source of this Vital Qi.

However, as soon as they left the Forbidden Zone, they would be detected by satellites in the sky.

They would immediately be met with concentrated fire from artillery and missiles.

The area of several thousand square kilometers in Sanjiangyuan had already been designated as a military secret zone by the national leadership, which made it so that the cultivation-type Professionals who found the source could see it but not obtain it.

Fortunately, the Daoist field formation arranged by the Incarnation had the ability to obstruct abnormal entry; even if these people snuck in, they would just wander around and end up walking back out on their own.

In the downstream area of Sanjiangyuan, a group of practitioners gathered.

"Hall Master Chen, how is it? Did you find anything?"

Everyone watched the group from the Chen Martial Arts Hall walking back from upstream.

This time, Hall Master Chen Tian and the head disciple Captain Chen Sen led the Exploration Team together.

"Sigh! Don't mention it. We kept walking forward, but before we knew it, we circled right back."

"Places where that kind of energy exists are not so easy to enter."

Not long after, Qi Tianheng from the Tianqi Club also came out from within.

He looked at the others waiting expectantly with a depressed expression.

Half of the nation's top Exploration Teams had already gathered here.

"Hey, have you noticed? We haven't seen anyone from the Buddhist or Daoist schools, have we?"

"I heard that they already had people go in long ago, and they still have quotas for the next batch."

"Then I wonder if we have a chance."

"You'd have a chance if you joined the official forces."

"We gathered here precisely because we don't want to enter the system, right? Otherwise, why go through all this trouble?"

Fortunately, their large-scale gathering here was quickly discovered by the authorities, who sent people to handle the matter.

The authorities took this opportunity to propose:

"Professionals with talent who pass an assessment will be able to enter the Sanjiangyuan region to study and cultivate."

But as for when to go, they would have to wait for arrangements.

Fortunately, there was finally something to look forward to.

Except for a portion of the personnel who remained here to absorb energy, most still had tasks to complete.

Before long, most of them had dispersed.

After all, there was no definite word on exactly when they would go.
