Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 104 Three Paths (Part )
"The first way is to offer a divine weapon as a gift and use it to achieve a breakthrough."

"Human power may eventually be exhausted, but divine weapons can make up for it. The flaw of the human body is that it is ultimately made of flesh and blood. No matter how hard it is tempered, it cannot compare to steel, nor can it compare to the various rare spiritual substances in the world."

"Those who follow this path, combining their own will with the strength of divine weapons, can become divine weapon apostles."

"By constantly offering sacrifices to the divine weapon, you can make it stronger, thereby increasing your own strength. However, this is equivalent to transforming yourself into the spirit of the divine weapon, and in the future you will gradually lose your human nature."

“This path has the lowest potential, but it’s the easiest.”

The man in black robe explained slowly.

This was the first time Lu Ming heard this statement, but he always felt that turning himself into a weapon was too abnormal.

"The second path: Mastering authority—using the laws of heaven and earth for your own benefit."

"The power of the mortal world is limited, only authority can connect with the way of heaven."

"There are various secret realms in this world, most of which are derived from the natural world. These secret realms have countless rules and authorities, which are completely different from the outside world."

"These powers transformed into various scenes, materials, and even people in the secret realm."

"Authority is essentially the embodiment of a certain 'concept' between heaven and earth. If a warrior can seize or integrate a certain authority, they can master this part of the rules, and then have the potential to reach a whole new level in the future."

"For example, even the most basic powers, such as the power of thunder and the power of fire, once fully mastered, one can directly mobilize the power of thunder and fire from heaven and earth. Not only can one reach the seventh level of the martial arts, [External Scenery], but even the eighth level of the martial arts, [All Things], is not difficult to achieve."

"Authority doesn't inherently have a hierarchy of high and low, but there are many biased concepts of authority that are more elusive and difficult to deal with than authority that simply causes destruction."

"For example, the [Transaction Authority] you currently hold."

This is why the black-robed man values ​​Lu Ming so much. The power of transaction may not be obvious in direct combat, but it is mysterious and difficult to detect. Once you are caught in it, you will be killed by bleeding.

What’s even more powerful about this authority is that, to a certain extent, it can create something out of nothing.

As long as you are willing to pay the price, things like martial arts, elixirs, monster meat, and even puppets that exist like living people can be exchanged.

After Lu Ming gained control of the [Trading Authority], the entire [Rakshasa Ghost Market] became a micro-secret realm that could be controlled to a certain extent.

Some humans can be arranged to go in and exchange their lifespans for various things.

This kind of transaction is a sure win for Lu Ming, and he can also continuously improve his compatibility with the transaction authority through repeated use.

Hearing this, Lu Ming was secretly shocked. The gap between the ordinary people in this world and the high-end forces was too huge, even to the point of being split apart.

While ordinary warriors were still thinking about how to break through the fourth level of martial arts, these high-level warriors had already begun to master power and laws.

No wonder the Wu Temple has become increasingly powerful over the years, but no matter how the imperial court changes, this behemoth cannot be eliminated.

"As for the third way..."

"The third way is to sign a covenant with the evil gods outside the domain. Outside our world, there are countless stars, and these stars all have faint consciousness."

"When the orbits of stars approach the human world, humans may be able to communicate with the stars and sign a covenant with the evil gods through specific rituals."

"These evil gods are too powerful. Any one of them is equivalent to the power of an entire world. Even a single glance from them is enough to enable humanity to achieve a breakthrough and gain a wealth of knowledge not meant for this world."

"But this path is the most unstable. The power wielded by these evil gods is inherently incompatible with the rules of the human world, and even runs counter to them. Every warrior who signs a pact with an evil god will eventually go insane."

"Without exception." The black-robed man was also extremely wary when he mentioned the third path. Warriors in the Martial Temple were forbidden to do such things, because if they were too closely associated with the evil gods and spread too much of the evil god's faith in the human world, they could completely attract the evil gods' attention.

What will erupt at that time is a world-destroying crisis.

As for those lunatics who have signed a contract with the evil god, they will become more and more crazy as time goes by, and in the end they will be unable to restrain themselves from sacrificing the lives of ordinary people.

Wu Miao kills every one of these beings he sees.

Hearing this, Lu Ming's heart trembled. What a coincidence, I am the madman who signed a contract with the evil god.

However, because he has adapted to all the information sent by the evil god, he himself will not fall into madness.

If that's the case, I have all three options.

I have three and a half divine weapons alone. One half is the [Sunset Bow] which has not been fully upgraded, and the other is the [Golden Fire Claw] which has not been refined.

He had previously signed an alliance with [Ming'e Tianjun] and now he has the [power to trade].

It is difficult for others to even find a breakthrough path, but he has completed all of them at once.

"Lu Ming, now that you have gained authority, your status in the Martial Temple will be greatly improved. I will contact the Tai'an Prefecture Martial Temple later and promote you to a student in the Upper Dormitory of the Martial Classics Hall."

"But this is just the most basic treatment. When you truly master the power and achieve [External Scene], you will be able to become one of the upper echelons of the Martial Temple."

The man in black robe was in a good mood. He was usually cold-tempered, but today he was surprisingly talkative.

Because looking at the entire Martial Temple, there may not be even one genius who can hold power in ten years.

"With your current status, you can mobilize all the resources of Bingzhou Martial Temple. Whether it's the tutor or the dean, they will automatically be inferior to you when they see you."

The man in black robe encouraged Lu Ming a few more words, saying that a genius who would achieve the eighth level of martial arts in the future was worth his greatest investment.

"Thank you, Senior. I don't know what to call you, Senior?"

Lu Ming's eyes lit up. What a great idea! I've been envious of those "meat mountains" in the Wu Temple for a long time. Now I have the chance to feast on them.

"My name is Gu Chen, you can call me Lao Gu, or Gu Jijiu."

The man in black robe smiled. A genius who holds power rarely appears in ten years, and their Bingzhou Martial Temple is only ranked in the lower middle among all the martial temples in the world.

In the entire Bingzhou, there has been no new person in power for a hundred years.

"Yes, thank you, Master Jijiu."

The chief priest is the one who is in charge of a martial temple, and Gu Cheng is in charge of the martial temple of Tai'an Prefecture, which is the capital of the entire Bingzhou. This means that the martial temples of the entire Bingzhou Prefecture are also under his management.

"Go."

Gu Chen looked at Lu Ming with a smile, then waved his hand to let him leave.

Lu Ming left the ancestral hall happily.
