【Big Heart: Endows your miraculous creation with the power of miracles. Big Heart gains the following effects.】
【1. Unperturbed: Having weathered great storms, you have long since forged a strong heart and a serene mindset as calm as an ancient well. Nothing can disturb your thoughts.
You are immune to various soul-level negative effects and will reflect them back upon the caster.
(Master, it's bad! I've caused a disaster!
Do not worry, do not worry. I told you long ago that in our line of work, one must be relaxed and at ease. Look at you now, rushing about and scrambling—where is your decorum?
Master, I accidentally entered the wrong address just now. I mistook the production database for the test database and deleted the business table directly!
Hmm, what was the last thing you said?
Uh, I've caused a disaster?
Not that one, the one before that.
Master, it's bad.
Master? Friend, who are you?)】
【2. Super Pump: A strong heart brings you powerful contractions and relaxations, providing a massive pump. The super pump brings an extreme energy circulation speed.
Your energy recovery speed is greatly increased; even world-destroying forbidden spells can be released continuously.
(It's terrifying! His heart rate is still rising! 200! 500! 1000! It's almost catching up to his combat power!)】
【3. Creative AI: You are no ordinary intelligence; you are an intelligence endowed with creativity. You are a miracle of creation!
The miraculous creation possesses the ability to create; it will constantly create brand-new skills based on its recorded knowledge.
However, be warned that these skills may not all be safe products. Please be mindful of your own safety.
(I have started! I have star! I hav! I!)】
【4. Massive Capacity: A giant heart brings you massive capacity. Your network load capacity is doubled and will gradually increase along with the Dao principles you master.
For every Dao principle mastered, the capacity doubles again.
(1024TB of massive space, providing a warm home for every teacher.)】
The exclusive enhancements for Miracle were incredibly powerful. No wonder Chen Xu felt a sense of being drained the moment the enhancement was applied.
Talent enhancements consumed Chen Xu's own power—a power that belonged uniquely to him, separate from his status as the Lord of the Undead or his authority over the Land of the Undead.
Fortunately, the talents granted after the enhancement were a perfect fit for Miracle.
Unperturbed allowed Miracle to be immune to various negative soul effects. Combined with the soulstone-based firewall, this Undead Network became even more stable.
Meanwhile, Super Pump and Massive Capacity increased the scale of the Undead Network, allowing it to support coverage over more creatures without worrying about Miracle's own mana being depleted by the free activation of spells.
After the talent enhancement was complete, Chen Xu introduced Miracle into the Necrotic Archmage Tower as a reward for passing the 10th floor.
Any challenger who cleared the 10th floor would gain primary access permissions to the Undead Network.
Chen Xu planned to use this method to promote the network during its early construction phase, allowing the transcendents of the myriad worlds to gradually adapt to it.
Coincidentally, Big Boss and his team had already begun a new round of trade. Projections of the mage tower would soon be scattered everywhere, taking root in various locations.
The Undead Network would follow the mage tower into the myriad worlds, serving as the vanguard for the rise of the undead.
Subsequently, Chen Xu issued new orders to Bone Guard One and the Black Knights, telling them to attempt controlling the undead army through the Undead Network.
He wanted to see if a networked army could produce different results.
As for where to conduct the practical testing, Chen Xu had specifically instructed Big Boss's merchant caravan to take a more dangerous route this time.
Everywhere they went, cosmic pirates were as numerous as locusts; it was known as the Hellish Route.
There, the Black Knights would surely find plenty of opportunities for actual combat.
...
Universe Realm, the Dao Lord's dojo.
After 'Chen Xu' accepted the four true scriptures from Li Taiji, he began his martial arts cultivation.
Li Taiji remained by his side, watching with great interest as he guided 'Chen Xu' in his training.
After all, the opportunity to guide a unique-tier Dao Lord in martial arts was incredibly rare—it might not happen once in a billion years.
"The martial arts of the myriad worlds are as numerous as the stars in the universe. Each has its own methods and schools, but generally speaking, they are much the same and are divided into four stages."
"Body Forging, Soul Strengthening, Spirit-Body Unity, and Entering the Great Dao."
Li Taiji extended a finger, dipped it into his teacup to catch a drop of tea, and flicked it suddenly. The water droplet struck 'Chen Xu' with a crisp metallic clank.
"This body of yours is rare in the world. Even if an ordinary person worked their hardest during the Foundation Establishment stage, they could not compare to you."
"Therefore, you can skip most of the first stage. However, you still need to practice the orbital circulation of internal energy."
As he spoke, Li Taiji struck out with a palm. The movement was slow and gentle, yet a fierce surge of strength struck from a distance and poured into 'Chen Xu's' body.
This strength traveled through 'Chen Xu's' meridians for one full cycle before venting out through his pores.
"This is the true qi circulation of the Power Sutra. Please try it yourself, Daoist friend."
'Chen Xu' nodded and began to breathe in the surrounding spirit qi.
Li Taiji also exhaled a breath of true qi, purifying it into the most primitive spirit qi and blowing it toward 'Chen Xu' for him to absorb.
This was the benefit of a high realm; even one's breath was fragrant. Just like a true dragon, a sneeze from such a being would appear to mortals as a refreshing rain.
As the spirit qi entered his body, 'Chen Xu' followed the path Li Taiji had just demonstrated, guiding the spirit qi through one cycle.
With the Exquisite Heart in his possession, completing one orbital circulation was effortless.
Once the cycle was complete, more than half of the spirit qi dissipated, while the remainder was converted into true qi.
Seeing 'Chen Xu' complete his first orbital circulation so quickly, Li Taiji stroked his beard and nodded.
"Daoist friend, with a wisp of true qi in your belly, you have officially entered the gate of martial arts."
"If you were practicing the new methods, you would next accumulate true qi while nurturing your soul to prepare for the next step of Spirit-Body Unity."
"But the Power Sutra is an ancient method; it doesn't involve so many complex details. What you need to do is simple to describe but very difficult to achieve."
Li Taiji exhaled another wisp of true qi, which danced back and forth in the air.
'Chen Xu' saw at a glance that this was the trajectory of the orbital circulation for the Power Sutra.
The true qi cycled continuously, moving faster and faster, its form becoming more solid and its quantity increasing.
Gradually, the true qi in this orbital circulation seemed to come alive, becoming like a fleshy worm. The trajectory of the cycle could no longer be seen; instead, it pulsated constantly.
'Chen Xu' keenly sensed the rhyme of the Dao within it.
"Daoist friend, is this the Dao of Power?"
Li Taiji smiled. "Indeed. Your comprehension is truly extraordinary."
"After entering the path with the Power Sutra, one must continuously circulate true qi, refining and tempering the true qi within the body. It goes from gas to liquid, from liquid to solid, and then breaks through the solid state to enter the Dao."
"During this process, the quantity of true qi must also increase continuously. Otherwise, there is no hope of entering the Dao."
"After all, this Power Sutra emphasizes breaking all laws with a single force. How does one break them? Through both quantity and quality."
Hearing this, 'Chen Xu' was slightly confused and asked, "Daoist friend, it is said that these ancient methods are difficult to comprehend, but why do I find it so simple? I see no difficulties or complexities."
"Hahaha! Daoist friend, we are both unique-tier. We perceive the Dao and command the Dao, so naturally, we won't find it difficult."
"But for an ordinary martial artist who knows neither what the Great Dao is nor how to see, hear, or smell it, what would you have him do?"
"This Power Sutra does not teach one the methods to comprehend or perceive the Dao."
After hearing this, 'Chen Xu' came to a sudden realization. It was indeed so.
The cultivation process of the Power Sutra was too crude. It was like teaching someone the numbers 1 through 0 and then immediately expecting them to comprehend the Great Dao of geometry or calculus.
Without exceptional talent and extraordinary comprehension, it was indeed difficult to see the true face of the Great Dao across such a gap.
"Your words are profound and full of meaning. I have learned much."
"I wouldn't dare take credit. You and I are merely discussing the Dao."
Seeing that 'Chen Xu' had entered the gate of martial arts, Li Taiji rose, preparing to depart.
"Daoist friend, you have entered the path. The subsequent cultivation is but slow and steady work. If you wish to leave, you can simply break through the cave heaven."
"Of course, you may also stay at my Universe Daoist Academy to continue your training."
"I have traveled for many years, plucking stars, seizing moons, and capturing demons and spirits. I have invested much into the Universe Daoist Academy to forge it into a martial arts holy land. While I won't say it is the best in the myriad worlds, it is surely among the top three."
"If you are not busy, you might as well experience it for yourself."
"Hahaha! Then I shall accept your kind offer."
