Chapter 1182 The Heavenly Book is Obtained

Two years passed quietly. Chu Fei and the others returned safely to the Rising Dragon Palace and sent the information to Zhao Weiguang on the battlefield outside the domain.

After that, Chu Fei and the others temporarily set aside their concerns about the battle against the Chaos Beast, no longer paying attention to it. After all, it was too far away.

The Shenglong Hall was more concerned about Zhao Weiguang.

Over the years, the Rising Dragon Palace and the Sun, Moon and Star Cluster have been actively searching for traces of that time, but not successfully, and have found only limited evidence.

Everyone is very excited now that they have found Zhao Weiguang's direction.

In their excitement, everyone created a model based on the conditions of the barren land and began to select and modify the necessary technologies.

The Ascending Dragon Palace is now considered the pinnacle of Yanhuang civilization's technology, mainly due to Chu Fei and his companions gaining approximately 2.7 years of development time after entering the Azure Lotus World. Of course, Chu Fei's ability to spend money also played a role.

After making these arrangements, Chu Fei went to the research center to participate in the design and development of the third-generation warship.

The warships that participated in the Saint Battle in the previous two generations were typically fragile, relying on concentrated fire for attack and dodging for defense. Once they could neither concentrate fire nor dodge, they were doomed.

This kind of battle is very dangerous, relying entirely on powerful computing power.

It should be said that these two generations of warships, with their "computing power," opened a crack in the dark sky for the Rising Dragon Palace, allowing it to see a glimmer of hope.

The "computing power" of the Ascending Dragon Palace is still increasing, gradually calculating the attack precision and law boundaries (Planck time, length) of the Chaos Divine Beast, and gradually beginning to explore the world of the Sages.

However, the scientific and technological theories after version 24.0 are still incomplete. At present, we can only say that there are sporadic gains, and the overall technological level is locked at the early stage of quasi-saint.

To break through the current technological limits, a complete set of scientific theories is needed. This set of scientific theories is called "logic technology," which includes meme technology, string theory, quantum technology, ultraviolet catastrophe, information creation, and especially computer technology.

The biggest problem now is that computer technology has been unable to make breakthroughs, which is essentially due to insufficient theoretical foundations.

Although computing power is already impressive, forming a "computing power club," it's still insufficient. For scientific research, the demand for computing power is limitless.

Moreover, while current computing power is sufficient, "high-dimensional algorithms" are lacking. Essentially, this stems from insufficient research in the field of mathematics.

The current calculation of the Chaos Beast's attack accuracy relies on dimensionality reduction calculation. First, its attack data is collected, which is itself a superficial representation, reducing the attack methods to a comprehensible level. Then, based on this attack data, the accuracy is calculated.

This can be understood as—inferring the enemy's military industrial capabilities based on the explosion results and products of the enemy's bombs.

This is the first level.

A truly complete calculation should elevate one's own algorithmic logic to a higher dimension, to the level of laws, to form "one's own standard," and then "verify and test" the attacks of chaotic divine beasts, quasi-saints, and saints.

This can be understood as directly inferring the other party's military-industrial level based on their scientific research achievements, papers, research investment, military investment, overall industrial level, key chemical industries, etc.

This is the second level.

Clearly, the second level is more comprehensive and accurate. However, using this second method requires the corresponding talent and a similar level of technological expertise. You can't expect someone to point out laundry detergent as a weapon of mass destruction and then agree.

The current technical level of the Ascending Dragon Palace, at the Quasi-Saint level, has surpassed the first level, but is still far from reaching the second level.

The pressure was immense, but everyone in the Rising Dragon Palace was filled with fighting spirit.

Although the technology from Zhao Weiguang's side was somewhat outdated, it still provided different perspectives and was somewhat helpful.

The outcome of the battle with the Chaos Beasts also spurred the iteration of warship technology;

In addition, the 129,600 spells given by the Heavenly Emperor, although they were all supernatural abilities at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals, actually supplemented the basic theory of the Ascending Dragon Palace.

The Ascending Dragon Palace has been developing for too short a time, and its foundation is severely lacking. This is actually a major reason hindering its continued development. The emergence of these spells is equivalent to providing the Ascending Dragon Palace with the necessary basic materials.

The realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal is crucial. The so-called "Great Luo" means all-encompassing and all-encompassing. A sufficient foundation is required to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and be qualified to strive for Quasi-Saint status.

It's not necessary to prepare 129,600 foundations; three to five thousand is enough, as long as the "puzzle" can be completed.

If you want to build a house, you have to prepare all the materials, at least the materials for the frame structure.

Unfortunately, if the Ascending Dragon Palace wants to develop a complete technological system, its foundation cannot be limited to three to five thousand; even thirty to fifty thousand would not be enough, and thirty to fifty thousand might not be sufficient. The Yanhuang civilization had a very large appetite for exploration and development in the field of science and technology, always thinking of "1 vs. all".

Scientific research often involves discoveries that surpass those of nature. For example, the materials used to build spacecraft require man-made materials.

These 129,600 spells still cannot fill the bottomless pit of the Rising Dragon Palace's needs; they can only be said to be enough for now.

Next, the Rising Dragon Palace production line will continue to produce second-generation warships. However, the technology of the second-generation warships is basically stable, and only a few parts need to be adjusted. The main issue is that the data from the last battle needs to be imported into the computer, and the computer's algorithms need to be adjusted.

We are now focusing all our efforts on researching third-generation warships. Third-generation warships will have more advanced technology. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a breakthrough in computer technology, leaving the warships without their most crucial "brain."

The stagnation in computer technology has hampered the entire system of scientific research and industrial development. But these things can't be rushed; rushing won't help.

The Rising Dragon Palace has launched a bounty program, offering substantial rewards for anyone who can provide ideas, and this is not limited to the cultivation system.

Unfortunately, cultivators, demons, and the like don't understand the technology at all.

The Sun, Moon, and Star Clusters, the Temple of War, and other places are aware of the difficulties faced by the Ascending Dragon Palace. However, everyone is still digesting and absorbing past technologies, and there's some indigestion going on. They'll have to wait a while before they can advance new technologies.

Fortunately, the overall technical level of the Rising Dragon Hall is improving rapidly.

The more than 2,500 elites recruited are working day and night to study the cultivation techniques provided by the Rising Dragon Palace.

In the past, people would be lucky to come across three or five simplified versions of the Great Luo Golden Immortal's magic, but now there are a whopping 129,600 complete versions! Even for their own sake, people are frantically researching them.

It's not that some cultivators want to keep their skills to themselves, but the Ascending Dragon Hall uses a scoring system and an elimination system for the bottom performers. If you don't take the job, there are countless other cultivators waiting to apply!

There are cows and horses in this world, but there were no cows and horses until humans came into existence.

These practitioners are now experiencing both happiness and suffering, enjoying the blessings of 007. No, it's more like the blessings of 00365! Anyway, practitioners don't need rest; they're all being pushed to their limits.

Specifically, the Dragon Ascension Palace divides all spells into 1000 levels, with 120 to 130 spells per level. Basically, each level involves a comprehensive cultivation system.

Each participant randomly selects two or three others to study and research, then submits their "research results" to accumulate contribution points. Once a certain contribution value is reached, access to more spells becomes available. Further research and accumulating more contribution points are required to level up and research the next level of spells.

To study all the spells, you have to study them like crazy, and each level leaves me with research insights.

There is also a bottom-ranking elimination system; if there are no results within a certain period of time, one will be demoted, and if there is no room for further demotion, one will be eliminated.

On one side were 129,600 complete spells of the Great Luo Golden Immortals, and on the other side was the elimination of the bottom performers, with everyone's eyes bloodshot.

Furthermore, the Ascending Dragon Palace has indeed launched a second round of recruitment. More questions have been released, and anyone who can provide a reasonably accurate answer has a chance to learn 129,600 spells.

As long as there are results, the Rising Dragon Palace will not hesitate to reward you.

The Rising Dragon Palace has no shortage of wealth, only a shortage of time.

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Chu Fei suddenly thought of the Chaos Divine Beast. It has been a year since the Chaos Divine Beast changed its attack methods. He wondered how the Sages were coping.

As soon as Chu Fei finished thinking, a magnificent pressure descended upon the world, a pressure that Chu Fei was very familiar with.

“An old friend has arrived,” Chu Fei said to the goddess of nature before him.

The Goddess of Nature glanced at Chu Fei and said, "Being your old friend is really dangerous."

Chu Fei smiled. The connection between the Ascending Dragon Palace and Zhao Weiguang, and the Chaos Beast, couldn't escape the eyes of the Goddess of Nature. Everyone was busy building models of the wasteland and assigning researchers to establish a new scientific and industrial system; nothing could be kept secret. Chu Fei felt that the Goddess of Nature must have guessed something.

The goddess of nature waved her hand, lowering the guard, and a flash of light appeared before her eyes—the avatar of the Heavenly Emperor had materialized.

Upon meeting, the Heavenly Emperor's avatar immediately stated, "We need a batch of warships, all of them must be second-generation warships. We also need help training a group of combat personnel who can operate the warships."

Chu Fei: "One second-generation warship costs three 'Zhengfa'. A team of warship operators costs 30 'Zhengfa'. A team of personnel can be responsible for controlling one warship, which is about 200 people. Considering that you don't understand the technology, a team of personnel may need 300 people."

The Heavenly Emperor's avatar remained silent, only staring intently at Chu Fei.

Chu Fei leisurely poured a cup of tea and pushed it towards the Heavenly Emperor. The teacup slowly floated to the Heavenly Emperor's face.

The Heavenly Emperor took the teacup and said calmly, "With prices this high, doesn't your conscience bother you?"

Chu Fei spread his hands, "When we encountered danger before, Senior ran away incredibly fast. Ever since I met Senior, my cultivation foundation was damaged first, and then I was abandoned at a critical moment, which damaged my spirit. Alas, now I am broken inside and out."

The Goddess of Nature chuckled twice and continued watching the spectacle. Lately, she's seemed somewhat detached from worldly desires, except for studying big data. But even this study seems somewhat serendipitous.

When the Goddess of Nature reaches her current state, she is truly unaffected by the collapse of the heavens, fearless and completely detached from the world.

Chu Fei and the Rising Dragon Palace have also gained a certain degree of initiative. Chu Fei is protected by the Goddess of Nature and can escape at any time. The Rising Dragon Palace is surrounded by vacuum energy bombs and can overturn the table at a critical moment. Moreover, the remaining members are all elites with maximum escape capabilities. Everyone is somewhat disregarding their own lives.

This truly shows that the people are not afraid of death.

But the Heavenly Emperor is different; he's somewhat afraid of death. Moreover, he not only can't escape the constraints of the Evergreen Heaven, but he's also become a target for conquest, putting him under immense pressure.

In short, the current situation is this: although the Ascending Dragon Palace is of very low overall level and theoretically has no right to challenge the entire "Celestial Court," it has somehow managed to seize the initiative!

It should be said that the so-called initiative of the Rising Dragon Palace now has a somewhat tragic flavor; it is ready to overturn the table at any time and all go to their deaths together.

The contents of the Heavenly Book that Chu Fei and the Ascending Dragon Palace exchanged were not only not kept secret, but were also widely disseminated, making the Heavenly Emperor grit his teeth in hatred. After the Heavenly Book was widely disseminated, the Celestial Court lost its foundation for rule.

In the past, the Celestial Court relied on its mastery of cultivation techniques to keep a large number of cultivators engaged, making it the leader of the cultivation world. This also brought the Celestial Court enormous benefits—not just wealth, but also fortune, leadership power, and so on.

After much hesitation, the Heavenly Emperor had a “thorough conversation” with Chu Fei, and finally left in a huff.

More than a month later, the Heavenly Emperor's clone returned again, but with an additional clone by his side: the Sun God, Osho!

Upon seeing the Sun God Osho, Chu Fei didn't wait for him to speak or exchange pleasantries. He immediately said, "If I obtain the Heavenly Book, I will make it public for free, and the entire Evergreen Heaven can share it."

Sun God Osho paused for a moment, then turned to the goddess of nature beside him. "Jenny, the Chaos Beasts have changed their attack strategy. We're starting to have trouble holding on."

The goddess of nature nodded and continued drinking her tea, but her beautiful elf ears twitched slightly.

Seeing this, the Sun God Osho continued, "I know that our past actions were indeed problematic. Besides, you are now basically free from the constraints of the Evergreen Heaven. If the Evergreen Heaven encounters problems, you will actually gain great freedom."

But you haven't completely escaped Chang Qingtian's influence, and you're still recovering from serious injuries. Your current abilities are far less than before.

The goddess of nature turned her head slightly, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

Osho: "We haven't been idle all these years; we've done some research. After this battle, we can help you complete the severance, completely cutting off your connection to the world without harming your very essence."

The goddess of nature scoffed, "I don't believe you."

"..."

All my words were silenced by a single word: "disbelief."

Chu Fei watched the spectacle from the sidelines. See? This is what the Ascending Dragon Palace has always insisted on doing—gaining people's trust.

Don't be fooled by the fact that some things are invisible, intangible, and have no direct value; sometimes they can be deadly.

For example, right now. The goddess of nature is not cooperating, and anxiety clearly flashed in the eyes of the sun god Osho.

Why was the Sun God Oshu accompanying the Heavenly Emperor this time? Because the Chaos Beasts suddenly shifted their attack direction to target the Sun God's pantheon.

Although it was just a feint before they immediately returned to the Xuan Yang Domain and continued their previous attack, it was enough to terrify Oshu.

Does this mean I'll be the next victim?

Osho remained silent for a while, then said, "We can help you first, and then you can help us."

The Goddess of Nature shook her head slightly: "No need. With the chaos caused by this great war between heaven and earth, I can complete my separation from them myself. What was originally mine is now being used to exchange for my intervention. Ha, after all these years, you haven't changed at all."

Osho was stunned. "Wait, I... this... I really didn't know! I thought you were seriously injured, and if you cut ties with Chang Qingtian now, you would definitely be injured even more."

The goddess of nature waved her hand, "Alright, that's enough. There was never any trust between us to begin with, and you don't need to explain anything."

Instead of begging me, you should beg Chu Fei. At least Chu Fei can genuinely offer you assistance. And all Chu Fei needs is the content of the Heavenly Book.

It's just content; copying it won't make a difference. Besides, this celestial book isn't yours to worry about.

Osho, the sun god, seemed to be deep in thought.

The Heavenly Emperor's avatar remained silent, but his expression was grim. The Heavenly Book touched upon the very foundation of the Celestial Court; it was essential to have a piece of it, but doing so could shake the very foundation.

The entire Celestial Court was actually established on the "right to knowledge of cultivation," and the core of this right to knowledge of cultivation was the Heavenly Book.

Revealing the contents of the secret book is tantamount to removing the skeleton of power.

Despite his many thoughts, the Heavenly Emperor finally sighed, "You may have the Heavenly Book, but it can only be used by the Ascending Dragon Palace. It must not be leaked and cannot be made public like the current 129,600 spells."

"Deal!" Chu Fei agreed immediately.

In fact, even without the Heavenly Emperor's intervention, Chu Fei was not planning to continue making it public this time.

Although the 129,600 spells were excellent, they were ultimately only techniques at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, which Chu Fei looked down upon.

Although the Dragon Ascension Palace's technology has only just entered the Quasi-Saint stage, it has already achieved a great deal of technological progress. The best way to deal with those 129,600 spells is to analyze them as soon as possible and use them as basic materials.

Whether it's Chu Fei, the Ascending Dragon Palace, or the entire Yanhuang civilization, the current pursuit is for technologies at the Quasi-Saint level and above.

No matter how advanced the technology and supernatural powers of a Grand Immortal, they could not change the fate of the Yanhuang civilization.

Since that's the case, why not make it public in exchange for more resources and attract more practitioners to help analyze it, so as to master these spells in the shortest possible time?

We can also use these things to fish and attract more powerful figures to the Rising Dragon Palace.

However, the contents of the Heavenly Book cannot be easily revealed. Powerful outsiders wishing to learn it must accept certain stringent conditions. For example, Xuanhai Daojun's mind is controlled by big data technology.

At this moment, after Chu Fei and the Heavenly Emperor reached a consensus, the two sides negotiated the specific price of the warship.

After three days of intense negotiations, the final cooperation plan was as follows: the Heavenly Emperor would give Chu Fei a complete copy of the Heavenly Book—the actual copying was done by the Goddess of Nature; in return, Chu Fei promised to do his utmost to help defeat these chaotic divine beasts.

Furthermore, both sides agreed to jointly research science and technology and make progress together after defeating the Chaos Beast. The Ascending Dragon Palace would train a fleet for the Celestial Court, consisting of at least 100 second-generation warships and 100 crew members.

During the negotiations, Chu Fei also worried that the Heavenly Emperor might turn against him after defeating the Chaos Beast. However, the Heavenly Emperor stated that he preferred to achieve the state of the Nature Goddess, breaking free from the constraints of heaven and earth and attaining true freedom, rather than risk a falling out. Otherwise, even if this crisis passed, what about the next one?

Under the watchful eye of the powerful sage Goddess of Nature, the Heavenly Emperor ultimately made a rational choice.

However, after the Heavenly Emperor left, the Goddess of Nature still warned Chu Fei privately: These guys are not to be trusted!

Chu Fei understood, of course, that the Heavenly Emperor's so-called promise was nothing more than a matter of being forced to submit under someone else's roof. Chu Fei also knew that forcing a saint to submit would inevitably have consequences.

But the Heavenly Book has already been obtained, and the objective has been achieved. Now, the initiative is entirely in the hands of the Ascending Dragon Palace.

As for the upcoming "battle," Chu Fei had already planned it out. He would use production capacity and other reasons to stall for several hundred years. Anyway, with Zhang Weiguang and Pixiu Xuanxiao cooperating, everything would be a piece of cake.

This war was ignited prematurely, at least a century earlier. For cultivators above the Quasi-Saint level, a few hundred years is nothing. They hadn't even witnessed the invasion of the Chaos Beasts; a century had already passed.

For the Ascending Dragon Palace, with the Heavenly Book, a hundred years would be enough for a complete transformation! Even without a sage, Chu Fei was confident that he could prevent the Heavenly Emperor from making any rash moves.

Security has never relied on promises or contracts, but on one's own strength. The Yanhuang civilization paid a bloody price to understand this. (End of Chapter)
