Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 996 - 510: Cooperation

How should one pursue cultivation?

Is it like Tie Dan, facing disaster and hardship alone, defeating each demon and monster by oneself, gathering resources as per one’s abilities, proceeding step by step, solidifying the foundation, treading steadily, sixty years, five hundred years, one thousand two hundred years, gradually understanding the Heavenly Dao, and climbing to the peak?

This indeed is formidable, but the success rate is too low, the start itself is absurdly difficult. Someone like Tie Dan, among billions, one emerges in a thousand years, basically relying on the company’s support. In the later stages, it requires numerous ancestors and old monsters to attend to him to grow to this point.

So what about those who lack such talent and resources?

If you’re clumsy, does it mean you don’t deserve to cultivate? Without background, do you not deserve to attain the Dao?

Are you destined to just watch others play, like a scapegoat, a substitute ghost NPC, or even a maggot by the roadside?

Of course not, Chen Xuantian pondered and realized that relying on a company is indeed the best way, especially for someone like him without background. It saves time and effort and is practical.

Of course, with his current abilities, he cannot yet cling to the company, but leaning on the Immortal Palace or the Nangong Family leg, climbing up step by step, isn’t impossible.

There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Frankly, the Mystic Sect, Divine Sect, who isn’t relying on the company’s support? Tie Dan is indeed gutsy, not asking for help, looking down on the Immortal Palace, even dismissing the company. He wants to get what he desires by his sword! He considers himself the mightiest leg!

However, Chen Xuantian doesn’t have this ability, so he believes cooperation is entirely feasible. Most of the time, humans can only survive through cooperation.

After all, if you not only want to cultivate but also want to progress smoothly, quickly, and far on the path, then eugenics, genetic selection, survival of the fittest, are necessary, and also the most time-consuming and energy-consuming processes.

And this step, the Immortal Palace has already accomplished for you.

Yes, you can say the evil feudal society is bad, brutal social Darwinism is bound to be swept into the dustbin of history, but you cannot deny these are indispensable parts of human civilization development.

More undeniable is that through centuries of selection by the Immortal Palace and Twelve Countries, the cruel survival of the fittest, losers are dusted, exiled, and expropriated; while winners take all, breed wildly, resulting in the Central Plains population’s quality visibly outperforming surrounding alien races and demons. A random genetic test even on a stray dog by the roadside could reveal some Dragon Blood mutant in its ancestry.

This is precisely what provides a rich nutrient substrate and suitable growth environment for the Mystic Sect Mountain People’s nurturing through the Immortal Palace and Twelve Countries as the culture medium.

And the company’s early advantages, technical leadership, resource monopoly predetermine that refusing cooperation is basically unrealistic.

The Immortal Palace picks a general to produce, prepares heaps of Heavenly Materials Treasures to feed, stuffing left hand material, right hand energy. Just eat as much as possible, grow desperately, fill vigorously, and in less than a year, they can emerge. Feed them for another year, you can toss them into the pot, exchange the head, open up permissions, immediately stand martial god, go out with Gang Fist Instant Strike, instantly punching heaven and earth.

And such level of Martial God, the company, pushing full throttle, could roll out dozens to millions overnight, what path or magic would you fight them with?

Therefore, Chen Xuantian does not oppose the company, nor does he reject the system. Truth be told, he carries Earth’s memory, deeply understanding that industrialization, standardization, mass production, and systematization are the essence of human civilization. An individual is just a maggot, but assembled into a system, it becomes a monster devouring everything.

And now that Chen Xuantian has gained the Dao transmission of Peng Ju, he’s more aware of the current weaknesses of the Immortal Palace being due to the over-simplified mass production template, everything being the Immortal Venerable’s spawn, solely relying on Gang Fist, lacking biodiversity, thus challenging to cope with Mystic Sect Divine Sect’s varied techniques. But this essentially isn’t the Immortal Palace’s issue.

Yes, although Lingxu voluntarily cut Peng Ju out, hiding most of the original memory, causing Chen Xuantian to at most recall reincarnation at Qingcheng Mountain, he deduced from Peng Ju’s scant words during dealings with the company.

The Immortal Palace’s weakness is the company’s strategic planning.

Because the company essentially uses the Taiji World as a petri dish, it’s been deliberately suppressing Martial God production, limiting the Immortal Palace’s scale, ensuring it doesn’t grow too strong, similar to the Immortal Records and Divine List of yore, fully limiting local developing space.

Of course, it can’t be too weak either, occasionally stirring up major events and grand scripts, earning extra while providing appropriate stimuli to the natives, persistently subjecting to survival of the fittest, making Mystic Sect stronger through refining, ever progressing, evolving, and enhancing.

In this way, as long as the local natives evolve continually, deriving a Perfect Taiji Path that allows generally talented natives to achieve Qi Refining and Body Refining, reach nine qi perfection, flawless and unrivaled, straight to the world’s peak, with strength comparable to Immortal Venerable.

The company could then use it as a standard blueprint, a genetic archetype, biological template, to research, replicate, and mass-produce Mystic Sect Leader-level biological weapons.

Fortunately, the company has high standards. After all, they already possess the Immortal Venerable template, unless the new version has crushing strength against the Immortal Venerable and doesn’t set excessively high talent requirements for the native archetype, lacking competitiveness. Otherwise, considering development costs, there’s no need for investment in developing mass production.
