Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Possibility of Martial Arts for All
Shen Yu never would have thought that such a gigantic worm monster would suddenly give him such an enormous surprise!
Yes, an enormous surprise!
Even though for now it’s just a preliminary assessment and actual circumstances remain unclear, even so, it’s enough to make one excited!
"Earth Evil Power!" Shen Yu strode a few steps forward, carefully sensing it.
Indeed, it was very similar to the Earth Evil Power that Martial Artist Shen Yu recognized from his knowledge.
Although there were still some differences, it was truly quite alike.
The power of Martial Arts Extraordinary goes without saying. Back when he discovered that the Mother Star also contained Primordial Energy, and that all the rules of Martial Arts Extraordinary could function normally, Shen Yu had already conceived the idea of igniting a Martial Arts path for all people.
At the very least, to establish a Martial Arts Legion.
No matter what monsters they might face next, Martial Arts Warriors paired with Technology Weapons could always greatly enhance the combat power of Human Civilization itself.
In fact, even on the side of the Interstellar Civilization, there was tremendous demand.
However, when Shen Yu truly embarked on the path of Martial Arts and achieved some foundation, he finally realized the greatest difficulty in promoting Martial Arts in other worlds.
—Primordial Energy!
The Mother Star does indeed contain Primordial Energy. In theory, any form of life, even the earth itself, contains different forms of Primordial Energy.
But compared to the genuine Martial Arts World, not only is the amount less, the most crucial aspect is that it’s not active.
Shen Yu had tried to cultivate here on the Mother Star, deliberately choosing a jungle, but absorbing Primordial Energy was extremely difficult.
This was despite already having a certain level of power.
Ordinary people would have to start from scratch—one can imagine the difficulty.
Originally, Shen Yu’s considerations were merely to trade for some cultivation resources from the Martial Arts World, such as elixirs or minerals imbued with active Primordial Energy, or perhaps to import Primordial Qi Plants and attempt cultivation, or even to check if the Interstellar Civilization had any research results that could liven up the deathly Primordial Energy of the Mother Star.
But none of these ideas could be realized in a short time.
Therefore, Shen Yu truly hadn’t expected this.
At this moment, he could actually see the possibility of universal Martial Arts just from the worm!
He and interstellar world Shen Yu exchanged a glance; both could see that surprise in each other’s eyes.
"If this really is Earth Evil Power usable for cultivation, then this stuff is nothing short of a strategic resource for worlds with inactive Primordial Energy." Shen Yu spoke up. "We must quickly produce research results."
"Not just for worlds with inactive Primordial Energy—for worlds where Primordial Energy is active, it also presents huge value." Martial Artist Shen Yu was already grabbing a chunk of flesh and standing up, his face also tinged with excitement. "Do you know what the greatest cultivation bottleneck for Body Refining Martial Cultivators is in my world?"
"..." In the minds of Shen Yu and interstellar world Shen Yu, understanding surfaced simultaneously.
Yet Martial Artist Shen Yu was first to give the answer.
"It’s that both the quantity and the quality of Earth Evil Power are very hard to control!" Martial Artist Shen Yu looked at the chunk of meat in his hand. "In our place, there’s a very powerful top-tier sect that occupies a vast region rich in Earth Evil Power. They’ve meticulously partitioned that area according to quantity and quality, letting each Martial Cultivator train in areas suited to their power. Even then, many Martial Cultivators still die because they can’t withstand it. But if this can really be used for cultivation, the quality aside, at least the quantity is totally controllable!"
Exactly; compared to Earth Evil Power that gathers in terrestrial formations, this Earth Evil Power contained in meat—however much you need, you just eat that much.
There’s even no way to finish eating it all.
Plant it in the ground and it just grows on its own.
This conversation among the three was in Chinese. Sword Return Two couldn’t understand, but at this moment, he’d also caught on.
Looking at this colossal behemoth before him, the color in his eyes became more and more intense.
He looked at Martial Artist Shen Yu. After hesitating for a while, he still spoke up: "Immortal Yu, with this, perhaps we could win over the Earth Martial Sect."
The Earth Martial Sect was the formidable sect focused on Body Refining Martial Dao that Shen Yu had just mentioned.
Across the entire Martial Arts World, its power is among the absolute top of all forces!
However, Sword Return Two still underestimated this thing’s value. He had no idea this meat could grow underground.
Forget about winning over the Earth Martial Sect—in the face of an increasing disaster and food shortages everywhere, this could practically win over the whole world!
But the premise is being able to completely control it, and not let the "seed" be lost.
So Martial Artist Shen Yu actually regained his composure bit by bit.
"It’s too early to talk about all this now. Whether it truly is Earth Evil Power and suitable for cultivation—these still need confirmation."
Even so, as Martial Artist Shen Yu turned to look at this titan that had just taken the lives of over a hundred thousand people, a burning sense of anticipation still welled up inside.
The path to saving the world might just lie within!
"Really have no idea what that meteorite is, or where it came from." Shen Yu was also gazing at the giant worm’s carcass.
But his thoughts drifted out to space, to the meteorite heading ever closer to Human Civilization.
Clearly, this world’s civilization is the weakest among the three, yet the apocalypse here is the most unique.
Eyeworms, worm monsters, and the super zombie bacteria—every one contains unfathomable power.
It’s a disaster, but could it also be an opportunity?
"Each of you take some back for research and share your findings." Shen Yu glanced at the other two Shen Yu’s, speaking quite solemnly. "If it’s truly of great value, I hope we can compensate accordingly based on the value in this exchange. This is also part of our agreement under Association certification."
"Alright." interstellar world Shen Yu nodded.
Clearly, those words were addressed to him.
Of the three Shen Yu’s currently, he is the one with the weakest position and authority in his own civilization.
And also the hardest to improve.
Shen Yu, nothing more needs to be said—his position is unshakable. Martial Artist Shen Yu, while his influence is presently limited to just one area, it’s apparent that his future expansion is visible to the naked eye.
Only him.
He seems to have some influence, but compared to the entire Interstellar Civilization, he’s more like a rare creature kept in captivity—seemingly important, but in reality, the civilization would never devote everything for his will and needs.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be uncertain if he could even request a single-person Cosmic Battleship.
Thus, interstellar world Shen Yu must further raise his status and authority within his civilization.
Shen Yu’s final words, while sounding like an emphasis on the Association’s binding force on the treaty, were understood only by themselves: when necessary, they could be granted Gray Mist support!
The power of the Gray Mist is, in other words, the power of the Association!
At this moment, the Northern Alliance army had already entered the city. They brought all sorts of weapons, yet with no enemies left, their chief function was simply to guard the spoils of war here.
The three Shen Yu’s did not linger any longer.
