Chapter 1517: Request a Day Off and Settings

Request a day off and settings

Request a day off and settings

Ugh————

Request a day off————

It's not a problem with the settings for the Great Position Fruit and the Furnace either; those actually aren't completely without ideas, I could write them step by step, mainly I want to see again if there can be a better manifestation of Authority; the main part that still needs thinking is the Three Descents to the Underworld.

Also the Authority collection part; basically all are conceptual derivations corresponding to phenomena — for example, the Giant Spirit: opening mountains and crossing rivers, the concept is Unimpeded Flow, not merely the phenomenon.

Final sprint stage now; can't say for sure when it'll end, but there are only two or three main plot arcs left; the hiatuses will indeed be frequent, but updates still count as diligent — since August no chapter has been below 5,500 words.

Second day off this month.

Thanks for the support.

Cupped fists.

Also posting all current info here.

【Cauldron Master: Liang Qu】

【Dew Seeds: Three】

【River Dominance: 71.9 (River Favor: 100)】

【Can consume 60 River Dominance, 100 River Favor, to promote Marsh Spirit Water Ape Great Sage (Deep Orange)】

Because it requires 100 Favor, I must ensure I have 100 Favor on hand.

Only when Favor reaches 100 can it advance by one; if not 100, cannot advance.

【Heaven and Earth Long Qi: Forty-Five】

Three Yellow Mud Mothers, three Heavenly Xuan Earth Yellow Harmony (two Long Qi obtained from sacrifice woven together with Xuanhuang), three Red Qi, one Thick Earth Qi; afterward obtained a set of Rebirth and Re-death from Ge Zu at Louguantai, one Heavenly Dog Eclipsing Sun.

These are the more crucial Long Qi, all top-grade, thirteen strands.

The rest are all Sweet Dew Condensed Qi gifted by the Southern Border; as for the low-grade Tide Qi and Sand Qi, they were all padded into the River Master's Favor, not yet mentioned in the main text.

Also asked why not use Long Qi first, then use Breaking Sacrifice to Subdue the Dragon, more economical————reason is Twenty-Third Layer Perfection wasn't a known condition beforehand————only understood after Perfection, oh, Twenty-Three is Perfection; if not using Breaking Sacrifice to Subdue the Dragon first, might instead directly waste a layer.

【Commanding Water Beasts————】

Among water beasts, dispatching Xiao Xing, Fist, Fat Fish, Third Prince are Upper Realm; the rest are all Middle Realm.

Also three Demon Kings commanding: Blue Lid King, Sea Tooth King, Pot King; Pot King bought at half price, all have Spirit Space three, the three of them occupy 2.5.

Self-cultivated Position Fruits: Tianyuan, Feilian, Yunhua.

Refined Middle Position Fruits: Wu Fruit, Giant Spirit.

Goumang and Houji are one body; they are the two forms of this one Tianyuan Position Fruit: Tianyuan/Goumang, Tianyuan/Houji — at eight hundred times Root Sea, forged through Thunder Tribulation, Primordial Yang, Yellow Mud Mother reconstruction, death and rebirth, Horse King Immortal Pill————and so on, the manifestation of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.

【Tianyuan/Goumang】

【Authority: Changzheng】

【Category: Governance】

【Spring Wind, Spring Warmth, Spring Sun, Spring Growth, Spring Mountains Verdant, Spring Waters Rippling.】

【From Self Arises Advancement, From Self Arises Growth, From Self Arises Realm.】

Feilian came from Yinglong's Favor.

Yunhua came from River Master's Favor.

【Feilian】

【Authority: Liuzheng】

【Category: Governance】

【Wind Earl Feilian, Dragon Sparrow also; its movement: rivers follow their tracks, clouds and waters return to their channels; where Feilian passes, rivers know where they go, clouds and rain know where they fall, all things know where they flow.】

【Advancement Ceremony: Suspended Mountain Shoots Sun Slays Golden Crow, Can Promote to Subordinate Position Fruit River Master】

【Realm Ceremony: Yunhua, Qingnu, Guchan, Three Governances Gather, Together Pay Homage to Water Lord, Can Guide Illumination of Jade Flower Realm】

Wu Fruit came from Changyou's promotion; Changyou used ten points of Dominance to directly hook out from the Huaijiang; its Advancement Ceremony was dredging a Great River, managing water for several years, only succeeded at the Yellow Sand River; the original purpose was to quickly gain River Dominance.

Consuming one Water-attribute Position Fruit, combined with ten million Essence, can convert into corresponding Dominance; Minor Position Fruit is ten points, Middle Position Fruit is fifty points.

【Wu Fruit】

【Authority: Transforming Rectification】

【Category: Governance】

【64】【Governance means gathering; scattered flows return to their channels, the eight heads align their spears, all under heaven follow the same track.】

Governance is to gather and bind, scattered currents return to the veins, the eight heads wield their halberds, and all under heaven follow the same track.

【Refining Ritual: Reclining in the mist tide, accepting sha for use】

【Advancement Ritual: In Morning Sun Valley the Water Earl sits; the eight heads gather clouds, two waters merge. Using mist to control chaos, using chaos to order sequence, one may advance to the Governed Position Fruit Yu Jun.】

【Realm Ritual: Wu Fruit, Qing Nu Fruit, Ju Ling Fruit — the three Governances gather together, jointly paying homage to the Water Lord, can guide the bright Cang Ming Realm.】

The Ju Ling origin won't be mentioned; it was only a few chapters ago.

【Ju Ling】

【Authority: Pervading Rectification】

【Category: Governance】

【Clearing blockages, opening perilous obstacles, making mountains and rivers accessible, connecting water and land, turning natural barriers into thoroughfares.】

【Refining Ritual: Opening the nine orifices, clearing the hundred rivers, breaking ten thousand obstructions】

【Advancement Ritual: Opening heaven and cleaving earth, propping up heaven and standing on earth, one may advance to the Governed Position Fruit Pan Gu.】

【Realm Ritual: Wu Fruit, Qing Nu, Ju Ling — the three Governances gather together, jointly paying homage to the Water Lord, can guide the bright Cang Ming Realm.】

Finally there are three minor Position Fruits.

【Yong Fruit】

【Authority: Weapon Sha】

【Category: Calamity】

【Weapons are like fire; if not restrained, they will burn themselves.】

【Refining Ritual: Dwelling in weapons, feeding on sha to live】

【Advancement Ritual: Stopping spears constitutes martial virtue; forging swords into plows, in the third year of great harvest, with neither drought nor flood, one may advance to the Governed Position Fruit — Yi Kang Fruit.】

【Realm Ritual: Mei Fruit, Ying Fruit, Fei Fruit, Yong Fruit — the four Calamities gather together, the Water Lord as king, can guide the bright Calamity Realm.】

Can cause the power inside the body to go out of control, conflicting with each other.

【Fei Fruit】

【Authority: Plague Sha】

【Category: Calamity】

【Calamity means pestilence; humans and livestock all perish, white bones fill the fields, cooking smoke utterly cut off.】

【Refining Ritual: Poison erodes the six viscera, corpse liberation transmits plague】

【Advancement Ritual: Uprooting the inauspicious, sweeping away evil seeds; medicine and stone have no spirit, only avoiding the world; dispersing all foul qi, cleansing heaven and earth, one may advance to the Governed Position Fruit Qing Geng.】

【Realm Ritual: Ba Fruit, Ying Fruit, Fei Fruit, Yong Fruit — the four Calamities gather together, the Water Lord as king, can guide the bright Calamity Realm.】

【Ba Fruit】

【Authority: Drought Sha】

【Category: Calamity】

【Calamity means drought; the world suffers famine, the drought demon Ba arises, the four wilds suffer disaster.】

【Refining Ritual: Living without water, dying without stiffening】

【Advancement Ritual: In one night wind and thunder drive away the drought demon Ba; only then does one know sweet rain comes from the human world; burning the drought demon Ba, expelling the calamity sha, to pray for sweet rain, one may advance to the Governed Position Fruit — Qing Nu.】

【Realm Ritual: Ba Fruit, Ying Fruit, Fei Fruit, Yong Fruit — the four Calamities gather together, the Water Lord as king, can guide the bright Calamity Realm.】

The Mei Fruit was on Great Snow Mountain; Liang Qu borrowed a large amount of super-grade blood treasures from the Underworld to hook it out; Lao Ying Tian was the inside agent; currently it is "seizing the body" of the sick tiger Su He Ba Lu.

The Fei Fruit and Yong Fruit were obtained by relying on Frog Lord's Underworld seizure when killing the Fifth Immortal.

The Ying Fruit was taken by the Whale Emperor and became the reward of the Great Hunt Assembly.

Additionally, there is Hu Wang's Xuan Fruit, not yet refined, can be independently received into the Ze Ding, Water category.

Lan Gai Wang's, already refined, but "for unknown reasons", cannot be received into the Ze Ding, giving out information.

All minor Position Fruits are Calamity category; all middle Position Fruits are Governance category.

The authorities of minor Position Fruits are all something-something Sha; the authorities of middle Position Fruits are all something-something Rectification.

So Pervading Rectification, Flowing Rectification, are not some professional terms either; the character Rectification is a suffix; Ju Ling is Pervading, Fei Lian is Flowing, Yun Hua is Gathering, Wu Fruit is Transforming, Ju Mang is Growing.

There is also only one piece of major Position Fruit information, which naturally appears after the Favor Degree reaches perfection, but cannot be hooked.

【When things reach the extreme they must reverse; when matters reach the extreme they must change; Governance as the guide, changing Control to be first.】

【The Huai waters flow vast; a god guards them; where the banners point, ten thousand spirits follow in awe.】

【Huai Lord】

【Authority: Du Control】

【Category: Control】

【Virtue lies in nurturing; all things prosper in peace; when the Huai Lord arrives, tribute and taxes flow.】

【Refining Ritual: Guarding the Huai】

Currently rushing toward the Cang Ming Realm; the situation is not right; it could also be the Calamity Realm.

Major Position Fruit + Awakening Realm Yao Dragon equals furnace.

Major Position Fruit combined with corresponding minor Position Fruit or middle Position Fruit, forming a complete "lineage", equals Transforming Rainbow.

Self-cultivated Position Fruits do not need refining, nor do they need Advancement Rituals; they can follow one's own transformation, growing all the way to Major Position Fruit.

The Mei Fruit is temporarily not advancing, fearing it would burst out a self-cultivated Position Fruit, causing the follow-growth characteristic to disappear.

That's about it.

I personally feel there's nothing that needs special memorization; the setting of this book is very simple. These are all discrete settings, not cumulative incremental settings. The function and effect of each position fruit are independent, and only combat power affects the plot.

When it appears and needs to play a role in the plot, I will also take it out separately to reiterate its function and effect, for example, disaster fruit, authority drought! In an instant, what what becomes withered and so on. The only time to coordinate is.

Only the genealogy, but the genealogy is also reiterated each time it is collected, for example, the Cangming Realm and Disaster Realm's realm rituals, which belong to frequently appearing ones.
