Above The Sky-Chapter 1794 - 357: Rapidly Growing Faction

"Alright, alright, come, Shasha, here are all the rare minerals I found for you!"

Using the Crystal Dragon Body to ’embrace and wrap’ Shasha, Ian enjoyed the feeling of ’kneading the Iron Armor Shark’ which the human body cannot experience. After having played enough, Ian took Shasha to his prepared mineral warehouse.

Shasha’s bloodline, at its highest, reached only the Third Energy Level of the Isle Whale Shark. This was because, in essence, he was a ’synthetic lifeform’ created by humans through the transformation of metal-based life, aligned with the lineage of Crystal Dragons, but with slightly inferior potential.

Yet, this was merely the view of ancient civilization humans. For Ian, who possesses various Heavenfall Legacies and Sparks, he has ample methods to make Shasha stronger.

First, as a creature adapted from the Obera Ecosystem, Shasha is almost a perfect match for ’Fervent Fighting Spirit Qi.’

Secondly, as a creation of humanity that has undergone extensive ancient civilization transformation and can connect to various electronic devices, Shasha has a certain adaptability to magnetic Fighting Spirit Qi.

Thus, if he follows the fervent path, he might become the ’Fury Devourer Sharky’ in the future, and if he follows the magnetic path, he might become the ’Magnetic Field Sharky.’

But who is Ian?

He won’t choose; he wants it all!

"Although it’s experimental, I’ve recently integrated quite a lot of Fighting Spirit Qi inherited from the bloodlines of various Magical Beasts. I’m certain that as long as one masters Fighting Spirit Qi and Aether, even without a high-level bloodline, one can reach the Third Energy Level or even higher."

Ian is absolutely convinced of this because Spirit Energy is a perfect example—if the desire is strong enough, even an ordinary person can receive the ’Spirit Energy’ granted by the Great Aether Circulation; that exquisite Spirit Energy Structure is something many creatures cannot evolve into over a hundred million years.

This is the same for Fighting Spirit Qi; as long as the visualization of various evolved beings is clear enough, the body can naturally be transformed through the use of Fighting Spirit Qi, becoming increasingly robust and adapting to its flow.

Thus, condensing the Origin Structure through meditation becomes even easier.

Bloodline destined to stay at Third Energy Level does not hinder Shasha’s cultivation in the Arcane Pathway from reaching higher! Who knows if Shasha might further advance in the Arcane Pathway and develop his own unique ’Bloodline Inheritance’ in the future?

And these minerals prepared for Shasha are just the first step. As a metal-based lifeform, Shasha has the ability to devour metals and synthesize high-quality alloys within his body, while Ian’s preparation includes a large amount of electromagnetic and metal-earth attributes of sublimated minerals.

As long as he consumes these minerals over an extended period, Shasha’s physical essence would undergo significant changes, a concept inspired by the inspiration gained from the City of Knowledge during the Spirit Energy Development Conference—eating is indeed crucial.

Ian pays attention to agriculture, but he doesn’t need to personally handle it, because a large group of Demon Beast Cutter Ants recently defected to Ian.

These magical ants are genuine planting experts. After Ian communicated with the entire ant colony consciousness, he signed a contract; they are responsible for planting these highly productive crops and even processing organic nutrient solutions for Ian, while Ian will develop exclusive Fighting Spirit Qi and abilities for them.

Honestly, Ian has already completed the development. As for special abilities, Adalbert’s ’Giant of Light’... oh no, ’Collective Psychic Power’ is especially suitable for these ants. He slightly disclosed it, which made the entire ant colony consciousness ecstatic, starting to diligently farm for Ian.

Indeed, ants are much more efficient than humans, working three shifts without break around the clock, and they can not only farm on the surface but also construct huge underground planting rooms, a design decidedly similar to agricultural buildings.

Thinking of this, Ian felt like calling the Redwood People Forest Sea over, not only to gain an extra aid but to enhance farming, enabling the Forest Ocean Spirit to find followers willing to worship it, granting the followers a kind and benevolent deity.

It’s an absolute win.

However, this development truly is something only Ian can achieve.

After all, Ian possesses the Foresight View, with powerful Spirit Energy to pierce through deception, identifying all spies and those with ulterior motives, while the low beast authority of the Terra Continent, especially the New Continent, allows him to establish harsh yet acceptable rules for local beasts.

In addition, the various technologies mastered by Ian are the result of his long-term adventures.

Past hardships have finally yielded rewards, allowing Ian and his forces to grow at an unimaginable speed on this New Continent devoid of the Fifth Energy Level.

More and more Magical Beasts pledged allegiance to Ian, while the number of beast individuals experimented on with Fighting Spirit Qi by Ian increased, transmitting mountains of experimental data and various Fighting Spirit Qi conceptualizations back to Silver Peak Domain.

The research team led by Adalbert worked overtime conducting various tests and practices daily, correcting some of Ian’s intuitive estimations and refining certain intricate techniques unique to him, simplifying them for universal application.

The Arcane Pathway is thriving. As of now, with the first batch of training camp members having mastered Fighting Spirit Qi and acquired destructive power close to the Second Energy Level, the mid-tier strength of Silver Peak Domain is beginning to bear fruits and pay off.

Not only Adalbert but Sio also proposed a very beneficial conjecture on this aspect.

- When she underwent purification in the Cradle of Twinkling Light, she felt thoroughly cleansed inside and out... proving the purification system of the Cradle of Twinkling Light can remove redundant ineffective Origin Structures within, restoring the corporeal body to its original, healthiest state.

Thus, could those hindered by incorrect bloodlines from cultivating Fighting Spirit Qi gain the ability to cultivate it through the restoration by the Cradle of Twinkling Light?

Could those inherently talented individuals become even more talented through purification?

This conjecture instantly reminded Ian of the feeling when those extra Origin Structures were cleansed during purification, leading him to support Sio’s line of thought.

It was clear that the ’purification’ by the Cradle of Twinkling Light is absolutely effective; the Mountain People leader at that time broke free from various innate disadvantages due to the purification flame, emerging as a Fourth Energy Level powerhouse.

In the name of Sect Hierarch of the Supreme Spirit Sect, Ian decided to open up Qiang Steel Sacred Mountain, reinstating quotas for the ’Dragon God Sacrificial Fire’ baptism.

The available number won’t be numerous, open only to performers excelling within Silver Peak Domain. Be it Mountain People, Imperial People, or Magical Beasts, as long as one distinguishes oneself, they could receive the baptism of the Sacrificial Flame, transforming into having a prime adaptability to the Arcane Pathway.

"It’s becoming more and more like cultivation, even includes reshaping bone and cleansing systems."

The body Ian left in Silver Peak Domain pondered this, while Scott, Green Tide, and the others at the meeting were bewildered, completely unclear what their Lord was reflecting on.

"Isn’t this Origin Dew?" Upon hearing Ian’s original body express such thoughts, Yisen Gard mused this: "Putting it this way, perhaps Great Grandfather could decipher the Spark of the Terra Dragon, enabling Governor Bai Ji’s allegiance, and he might have mastered a deciphering method for the Spark."

"Perhaps it could be said that The Empire might also possess a ’Cradle of Twinkling Light’?"

"It’s certainly possible." With Yisen Gard’s reminder, Ian pondered this for a while and then eased up: "Hey, Inega II was the previous holder of the Silver Chip; it’d be strange if he didn’t find a few Heavenfall Legacies."

"Compared to this, Yisen, tell me, which kind of Fighting Spirit Qi do you prefer?"

"I quite like this ’Dragon Rage Battle Qi’..."

Soon, as time moved toward the end of February in the year 776.

Ian received two pieces of good news.

The first was that the Magical Beasts of the Dragon Worship Cult discovered the ’Super-Giant Floating Mountain’ Ian desired in a mountainous area near the interior side of the New Continent.

The second was that allies from Silverpeak Domain, elves from Canaan Moore, sent emissaries over delivering a large batch of aid.

And leading the group was none other than Anfa herself.
