Chapter 1258: Master of the Opening Dao

The status of a Master of a Dao in Honghuang is quite high, and the Science Path is a Law-based Dao previously unseen in Honghuang; it has now gained the recognition of Heaven and Earth and has already been deduced to the level of a Golden Immortal.

Although a Golden Immortal is not truly considered very high in the current Honghuang, the status of a Master of a Dao is at least comparable to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, or even higher.

This Science Path does have potential; even if it cannot reach the level of a Saint, or even a Quasi-Saint, there is still a high chance of reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

Moreover, this Science Path is clearly very compatible with the Human Race, especially the vast population of ordinary people.

Fuxi can naturally see that although there are Immortal Dao cultivators who combine with this Science Path, the vast number of ordinary mortals can also learn it; if they continue to deduce it, I fear that even mortals could eventually slay Immortals once the Science Path develops to its supreme level.

In the past, let alone facing an Immortal, even against a single ordinary cultivator, thousands or tens of thousands of mortals would have had no power to resist.

But after the appearance of this Science Path, some weapons have already been developed that can threaten Golden Core or even Refining Spirit Realm cultivators.

This is already very formidable; for mortal means to be able to kill a Golden Core cultivator is something that would have been unimaginable in the past.

As for using spiritual treasures to kill higher-level Immortals, cultivators can do it, but it is impossible for mortals.

Back when Jiang Ziya conferred the gods, there were military generals who killed many Immortals, but at the very least, Jiang Ziya himself was no mere mortal.

Mortals cannot wield spiritual treasures.

Yet those weapons manufactured by the Science Path are crafted by mortals and used by mortals; this is entirely an extraordinary power created by mortals using their own wisdom.

This point alone is highly compatible with the Human Race; ninety percent of the Human Race are mortals, and once these people all possess such power, the strength of the Human Race will inevitably surge.

Currently, weapons crafted by mortals can only threaten cultivators below the Earth Immortal Realm, but in the future, they might be able to threaten Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, or even Golden Immortals.

By that time, the Human Race will be the undisputed hegemon, a hegemon even more powerful than the Witch and Demon Tribes were back then.

"No wonder I have felt some changes in the aura of the Xuanyuan Sword recently."

Following Fuxi's revelation, Xuanyuan could not help but speak.

The Military Lord is Chiyou, but Xuanyuan Huangdi is also the War God of the Human Race, and the Xuanyuan Sword is the supreme treasure of the Human Emperor, controlling the Qi of Luck of the Human Race's Military School.

Nowadays, those thermal weapons created by the Science Path actually provide a massive boost to the Military School.

Previously, the Military School could only use extraordinary means to increase power, but extraordinary power is, after all, scarce, and compared to the vast number of mortals, there is still a huge gap.

Even with national strength like that of the Qin State, the number of extraordinary individuals is less than one hundred million, which is already terrifying.

It cannot be compared to the Heavenly Court; the Heavenly Court controls the Heavenly Realm and the starry sky, possessing sufficient resources, whereas how many years has it been since the Qin State conquered the Six States?

Time is insufficient, so the foundation is naturally insufficient.

The number of extraordinary armies they have built is only so many.

The Military School's use of Military Qi to evolve Divine Abilities is indeed extraordinary; armies composed of ordinary people can also condense Military Qi, yet the essence, energy, and spirit condensed by ordinary people are not strong in themselves, and once it ends, the damage to the ordinary people is also immense.

It requires extraordinary spiritual objects to repair them.

No faction could possibly produce such spiritual objects to treat them.

Therefore, even though the Qin State possesses a population of hundreds of billions, the power truly utilized is not great; only those who are extraordinary, yet they do not even reach one-thousandth of the population.

If the Qin State were given another several hundred thousand years, perhaps it could become a supreme Divine Kingdom or Immortal Kingdom.

Ordinary people could also slowly enter the extraordinary; even the lowest Divine Power Realm would be a qualitative improvement for the national strength of the Qin State.

It is a pity that the Qin State did not have that much time; at the time, the Qin State struck first, but it was also forced by necessity—if the Qin State had not acted, the Heavenly Court would only have plotted against Jiuzhou and stirred up more rebel kings.

Slowly consuming the power of the Qin State.

Just like the Bawang of that year, he was a feudal lord, and it was only because the Qin State rebelled against Heaven at the end that Bawang turned around to fight against the Heavenly Court.

Once the Qin State suppressed them continuously, Bawang would always be an enemy of the Qin State.

By then, it would not just be Bawang alone.

There was no way; the influence of the nobles of the Six States could not be completely eliminated by the Qin State, and it was also very difficult to kill them all.

This was also the helplessness of the Qin State at the time; this is the karma between the Human Race of Jiuzhou and the Heavenly Court, which began back in Xi Qi.

It cannot be changed.

If the Qin State had won, then this karma would have dissipated.

It is a pity that the Qin State of Jiuzhou still failed and did not manage to build a Qin Immortal Kingdom.

Now that Jiuzhou is sealed, extraordinary power is becoming increasingly scarce; for the Military School, once extraordinary power becomes scarcer, the Military School's Military Qi Divine Abilities will also be weakened to the extreme, and although the Military School still continues to be passed down, its power has greatly diminished.

However, recently, Xuanyuan Huangdi has once again sensed changes in the Military School; as one of the ancestors of the Military School, he is on par with Chiyou.

When he competed with Chiyou for the position of Human Emperor, he was at a disadvantage at first, entirely because Chiyou held that God-Slaying Array; even if it was an improved version, it was still extremely powerful.

The First Emperor of the Qin State used the Twelve Golden Men Array; he himself was only at the Quasi-Sage Early-Stage, yet he was ultimately able to battle Haotian, who was at the Quasi-Saint Peak, and even severely wounded him.

The Chiyou of that year indeed did not have the cultivation of Ying Zheng, but among Great Luo Golden Immortals, he was also extremely powerful, especially when combined with this God-Slaying Array.

Xuanyuan was indeed no match, and even several disciples of the Three Teachings who descended to the lower realm back then could not defeat Chiyou.

Chiyou's array was simply too formidable.

However, he eventually defeated Chiyou; although this also had the help of the Three Teachings and the Heavenly Court, it is impossible that he was truly useless.

He is the Human Emperor who presided over weapons and war, and also one of the ancestors of the Military School, so his perception of the Qi of Luck of the Military School is still very sensitive.

The Qi of Luck of the Military School and the Human Race began to increase, especially the Qi of Luck regarding the Military School; he had some doubts before.

He thought that some great sage of the Military School had emerged again.

Later, peering into Jiuzhou, he also discovered a few seedlings of the Military School; he originally thought it was their emergence, but now it seems that the surge in the Military School's Qi of Luck is not just because of those few Military School seedlings, but also related to this Science Path.

How powerful his Divine Sense is; through Fuxi's explanation, he instantly peered into the situation in Jiuzhou.

He also understood how much effect those weapons created by the Science of the Taiping Dao in Jiuzhou have for the Military School.

The strength of the Military School is not just the evolution of Divine Abilities through Military Qi; with the appearance of those thermal weapons, if one utilizes some of the Military School's tactics, the army can be made even more powerful.

If the army is strong, the Military School follows suit and becomes strong.

It can be said that the creation of the Military School is closely linked to the army; they have already merged into one.

And this is not just within the Human Race; among the other Ten Thousand Races, there is also the existence of the Military School.
