Chapter 31: Stepping on the Right Foot with the Left to Ascend to Heaven
The real world is very complex; the government knows about the existence of superhumans.
As the technological data provided by Chu Xuan was further verified, the government naturally opened the door for the Central Continent Team.
Fang Ge's statement was merely to pressure the government into further prioritizing this matter, treating the support for the reincarnation world as a 'war'.
The Central Continent Team's demands were also very simple.
First, the government needed to act as a 'foundry' for the Central Continent Team. All high-tech items, all parts that could be completed by reality, were to be completed by reality!
Second, the government needed to do its utmost to help the Central Continent Team collect superhuman data and materials, including but not limited to internal Cultivation, spells, prescriptions, martial arts, insights, etc.
Third, just like in the original work, the military was to send special forces-level personnel who would be hypnotized in front of a computer to appear 'disappointed with reality' in order to enter the Main God Space.
According to the Main God Space's time mechanism, for every horror movie passed, the real world would experience ten days to one month of time, depending on the team's rating.
The higher the rating, the slower the corresponding time flow, and the longer the real-world time for each horror movie.
This cooperation was long-term, and the government could not be expected to unconditionally support the Central Continent Team without understanding the progress of the matter.
Fang Ge promised that as long as the current Central Continent Team was not wiped out, after each reincarnation world ended, someone would be sent to connect, exchange information and supplies, and discuss the content of the next transaction.
—Of course, Fang Ge was not someone who kept his promises... This was just empty talk, meant to show sincerity to the Central Continent and encourage greater investment.
After all, as the team's strength grew to a certain extent, the support that reality could provide would become increasingly smaller.
After discussing the cooperation model, Chen Weiguo arranged a secluded courtyard as a residence for the two, saying it was to ensure their safety—in reality, there was certainly an element of surveillance, but it would not be too excessive.
Chu Xuan's assistant, who was Fang Hui, was responsible for their daily lives and for relaying Fang Ge's 'temporary needs'.
Fang Ge naturally didn't care; he had intended to use this waiting period for material collection to accumulate Inner Force.
As for the accumulation process, of course, it was 'endless' dual Cultivation...
The two would engage in passionate intimacy for nearly thirty days, oblivious to the world around them.
The surroundings were certainly quiet and empty, with only Fang Hui occasionally visiting to inquire about their needs, but most of the time she would be met with a closed door and have to listen to a long stretch of unbearable spiritual pollution from outside...
Regarding this, she could only report everything to her superiors, stating that the reincarnators' physical endurance was extraordinary, comparable to that of a dragon.
The recovery abilities provided by the fatal fruit and dragon blood, combined with the continuous energy supply from the Yin Yang Purple Jade latent within Fang Ge's body, laid a solid foundation for their 'unrestrained' Cultivation.
The Sunflower Manual is said to have a hundred times the Inner Force generation speed of ordinary Cultivation methods, superimposed with the fatal fruit and T-Virus, which significantly boost metabolic rate and physical strength...
Even if there were diminishing returns after superposition, the efficiency was enough to shock the world!
All of this, in Fang Ge's hands, who didn't leak energy, was terrifying to an extreme degree!
In just one day, Fang Ge could cultivate several years' worth of Inner Force for an ordinary person! This was even 'Supreme Yang' Inner Force, purer and more powerful than ordinary non-attributed Inner Force.
The Yin Yang Purple Jade was rapidly refined; the Yang-attributed energy was directly absorbed by Fang Ge, while the Yin-attributed energy was transferred to Jin Xi during dual Cultivation, promoting the Yin-Yang balance of her North Darkness True Energy.
In just seven days, through his relentless and continuous infusion, he forcefully brought Jin Xi to B-grade reinforcement level—meaning her Inner Force quantity reached a strength 'approaching Foundation Establishment'!
B-grade Inner Force or mana, supplemented by double B-grade foundation establishment pills, was enough for a person to successfully achieve Foundation Establishment while cultivating 'non-Orthodox Cultivation' methods.
After all, the energy reserves at the Foundation Establishment stage can only reach up to the third tier at most, still within the B-grade range, though True Essence has a significant advantage in energy purity and intensity.
Theoretically, if one exchanged for A-grade Inner Force reinforcement from the Main God, even if the growth potential didn't reach ten times but only about five times.
It would still far exceed the energy requirements for 'Foundation Establishment', as the average strength of A-grade exchanges should correspond to the fourth-tier primary level of the original text.
Even if Inner Force had a low cost-performance ratio and its energy was halved, it would still be at least a high-level third-tier energy reserve, with no reason to be 'unable to achieve Foundation Establishment'.
It wasn't that Foundation Establishment couldn't be achieved, but rather that Inner Force Cultivation methods simply didn't have the 'Foundation Establishment' process, only a stage where 'strength was comparable to Foundation Establishment'.
Just like the 'Primal Chaos One Qi Skill' that Zheng Zha exchanged for in the original text, it continuously purified Inner Force during Cultivation, claiming that with two hundred years of effort, one could form a Martial Dao Golden Core.
Directly skipping 'Foundation Establishment' and directly entering the non-orthodox 'Golden Core Stage', possessing a fourth-tier primary energy level.
Therefore, Zheng Zha in the original work had to undergo the peculiar 'Magic Cannon Foundation Establishment', because the Primal Chaos One Qi Skill originally had no 'Foundation Establishment stage'.
Different A-grade Cultivation methods merely dyed the originally non-attributed Inner Force with different colors and special effects.
As martial artist Cultivation methods without 'runes' involved, what was cultivated was not the True Essence of cultivators, but high-quality special True Qi like 'Nine Yang True Qi', 'North Darkness True Energy', and 'Primal Chaos True Qi'.
Perhaps the strength was lacking when first exchanged. But when cultivated to a profound level, it might not be inferior to True Essence in all aspects, just with different focuses.
Otherwise, wouldn't A-grade exchanges being inferior to B-grade exchanges be purely laughable? Inner Force, no matter how bad, wouldn't be that bad; it still adheres to the Main God Space's basic principle of getting what you pay for.
Back to the main topic, after about half a month, Jin Xi reached a 'critical point'. As the quality of North Darkness True Energy continuously improved, absorbing ordinary Sunflower Inner Force took longer to purify, and the effect became very small.
This is also why Fang Ge went to such great lengths to create the 'clone Inner Force circulation system'; it's because if quality couldn't be guaranteed, then the only option was to extremely increase quantity, allowing quantitative change to produce qualitative change.
In short, at this point, Fang Ge had Jin Xi abandon her 'Sunflower Manual' and officially begin cultivating the 'Nine Yang Divine Skill'!
The Nine Yang Divine Skill is incredibly overbearing and has very high requirements for True Qi; ordinary Cultivation methods simply cannot infuse it, and external True Qi is easily regarded as 'impurities'.
However, North Darkness True Energy is said to be formless and shapeless, possessing both Yin and Yang, encompassing all schools; this characteristic provided the conditions for Fang Ge's strategy to succeed.
At the same time, Jin Xi, who also possessed the Nine Yang Divine Skill's Cultivation method and knew the circulation path, laid a good foundation for high-efficiency transformation.
By continuously refining the 'Yin Yang Purple Jade' within their bodies, they achieved the miraculous effect of stepping on the right foot with the left to ascend to heaven...
For comparison, the developers divided the A-grade Nine Yang Divine Skill into nine stages, simply and hastily named One Yang to Nine Yang, but still easy to understand.
One Yang corresponds to D-grade, Two Yang to DD-grade, Three Yang to C-grade, Four Yang to CC-grade...
By analogy, Nine Yang should correspond to S-grade... But this is not the case. The difference between S-grade and AA-grade is much greater than the difference between other tiers!
The Nine Yang Divine Skill also has an advanced S-grade exchange available at the Main God's place, which Fang Ge has never exchanged for, but according to information shared by other players, it should also have a 'Sun' realm, claiming to be able to transform into a solar body, capable of burning the sky and boiling the seas with every move!
As for abstract descriptions like simulating a 'supernova explosion', Fang Ge could only say that such things were completely unnecessary...
Why go to such great lengths just to fight a final battle?
When the regular A-grade Nine Yang Divine Skill reaches great accomplishment, with sufficient accumulation and deep enough insight, one can form a 'Nine Yang Golden Core' in one fell swoop, becoming a non-orthodox cultivator.
One Yang in three days, Four Yang in six days...
On the 28th day of Fang Ge's stay in the real world, he cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill to the Five Yang realm, accumulating True Qi to the 'approaching Foundation Establishment' stage, completing his small goal for this Cultivation session.
At the same time, with the Yin Yang Purple Jade solidifying his foundation and cultivating his essence, his foundation was solid, and his True Qi was robust and pure, without any feeling of being unsubstantial.
As power generated through self-Cultivation, even if Fang Ge had no 'actual combat' experience, his mastery was far superior to that gained through reinforcement.
As for Jin Xi... Her spirits were not good, and she had recently become prone to sleepiness, evidently having been drained by Fang Ge, with her North Darkness True Energy severely depleted, returning to just a B-grade level.
Given Jin Xi's significant advantage in physical strength, their current combat power is evenly matched.
They have energy, skills, and the ability to unlock things. Both are excellent, well-rounded high-level second-tier combat professionals.
Against B-grade reinforced individuals—like Arold the Werewolf Doctor in the original text—Fang Ge could easily handle two or three.
Compared to the reincarnators in the Main God Space who are often crippled in one aspect, they are immeasurably superior!
With the short-term goal achieved, the two finally relaxed, awaiting news from the 'government'.
On the twenty-ninth day, Fang Hui visited as expected.
To be honest, she was very, even nine-tenths, surprised that there were no special movements in the room.
"Both of you, everything is ready. Please come and collect it... Tomorrow should be the day of your return, right?"
—Time to get the treasures!
