Chapter 289: Spirit Ascension Technique! Painting a Big Pie for He Xi Went Wrong!

In the moment when Chu Yang of the Curse Arts completely refined the divine tree fruit, everyone in the Soul Palace shuddered.

Chu Yang of the Ming Empire's eyes lit up and said: "Spirit Ascension Technique… it combines the Primordial Breath, the Primordial Martial True Body, and part of the Refining Treasure Technique; this cultivation method is practically a timely rain!"

The Primordial Breath and the Refining Treasure Technique are Chu Yang's core means; although they have always tried to integrate various means, these two are difficult to fuse.

Only through the Primordial Martial True Body can part of their power be made compatible, yet it is hard to truly blend them together.

The Spirit Ascension Technique is the cultivation method contained within the divine tree fruit; its effect is simple: it makes the Four Saints True Spirits manifest and gives them infinite growth potential.

The stronger the Primordial Martial True Body, the stronger the manifested entity of the Four Saints True Spirits; this can be understood as bodily strength, for after the Four Saints True Spirits manifest, they will each possess a physical form.

The higher the level of the Primordial Breath, the richer the "Primordial Qi" foundation of the Four Saints True Spirits.

Besides this, the Spirit Ascension Technique can also refine special treasures into the Four Saints True Spirits, fundamentally enhancing them.

When the Four Saints True Spirits evolve to a certain extent, they may even give birth to spiritual wisdom!

One-punch Chu Yang laughed and retorted: "What is this? Pet raising?"

Super God Chu Yang waved his hand: "The Four Saints True Spirits are part of the Primordial Martial True Body, they can hardly be called pets…"

After successive gains, everyone was in high spirits, chatting idly for a while before returning to the main topic, discussing some details about the "Pan Gu" system.

…………

Bei Xing, in the courtyard.

Chu Yang talked with Lei Na on the phone while walking back and forth in the courtyard, occasionally carving patterns on stones, the ground, or the courtyard walls.

After throwing down a stone covered in patterns, Chu Yang asked: "Since we have dealt with Nu Sa's replica puppet, have we obtained his Void Blade?"

"No, that guy is as cowardly as Karl; even his Void Blade is a copy!" Lei Na seemed to be taking a shower, and the sound of splashing water came from the other end of the line.

"Although it can threaten a fourth‑god body, it still falls far short of the true Void Martial."

"If you want this defective product, I'll have Wu Zhao send it over."

Chu Yang said nonchalantly: "Then forget it; how is the immigration plan going?"

Lei Na's tone grew serious: "I and Old Pan have divided immigration into five stages; the first stage is about to begin, led by Wu Zhao and Xuan Kun with the Blazing Sun Legion to first transform Mars entirely."

"After the first stage ends, the remaining four stages will batch‑move all Blazing Sun people."

Chu Yang carved the final pattern on the ground, stood up, brushed dust from his hands, and said: "Since Nu Sa is settled, Blazing Sun Star should be able to hold out a while longer."

"Hua Ye will soon arrive at the Chi Wu Star System; I will bring the Heroic Soldier Legion to cause them some trouble."

"You all prepare the groundwork; don't rush the first stage of immigration, lest you drag Blazing Sun into it. Specific matters you discuss with Old Du—I only handle the big picture; he is the main executor."

Lei Na retorted: "You really are a hands‑off manager!"

After a moment of silence, she asked again: "How is Yao Wen lately?"

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow: "Zhixin has built independent computing engines for the inaugural members of the Heroic Soldier Legion; you can let the Heavenly Dao Tower connect directly to him."

Lei Na took a deep breath: "Let's wait a bit longer! I am now the true king of Blazing Sun; this prince of his keeps thinking about rebuilding the De No civilization, yet has achieved nothing, so I inevitably feel unbalanced."

Chu Yang's eyes narrowed: "You want to help him?"

Lei Na sighed: "The affairs of the De No star system are inseparable from our Blazing Sun; the debts of the ancestors must be repaid by the descendants…"

At that moment, Chu Yang suddenly received another connection request, and casually said: "I have other matters; let's not talk now."

After speaking, he cut off the communication, accepted the request, and laughed: "Little sprite, done?"

On the other end, He Xi stared, then asked with a black line across his forehead: "What is a 'little sprite'?"

Chu Yang teased: "Keisha calls you an old sprite; my calling you this makes you seem younger, doesn't it?"

He is not one to suffer a loss; last time He Xi teased him, he ought to regain face.

"Just call me senior!" He Xi was speechless, then changed the subject: "I have combined the biological engine's actual installation results, further perfected the void energy drive system, and installed the latest achievement for Jia Weisi."

"The new void drive is more stable; theoretically, its drive power has no upper limit."

"But to increase drive power, energy conversion has been discarded—this you need to solve yourself."

Chu Yang's eyes lit up; this is exactly what he wanted!

As for conversion, he has countless ways to achieve it, but if the void energy drive's power cannot keep up with Pan Gu's operating speed, trouble will inevitably arise, requiring him to keep upgrading later.

He Xi has produced a drive with no power upper limit, undoubtedly helping Chu Yang once and for all.

After reclaiming Jia Weisi's privileges, Chu Yang directly sent it into the Soul Palace.

Everything is ready; the template prototype of Pan Gu will soon be completed; even if it cannot reach the envisioned level, the first version will at least be infinitely close to the existence of the Great Clock.

Although He Xi did not receive his reply, he is confident in his research results and directly said: "I still need to reinforce the outer defenses, prepare for the Celestial Debris army; if there's nothing else, I'll hang up…"

"Wait!" Chu Yang thought, then added: "Back then you also participated in the Super God Academy; you should know something about the Wu Ma civilization's ascension system, right?"

He Xi suddenly fell silent, did not answer Chu Yang's question, and after a long while asked faintly: "Do you want to meddle in the Wu Ma civilization?"

Chu Yang did not deny, frankly said: "I am very interested in ascension; I hope senior can help a little."

He Xi pondered, then said: "Ascension violates the Super God Academy's principles; it should have been deemed heretical, but because of the Karl incident back then, Queen Keisha and Principal Ji Lan did not pursue the Wu Ma civilization."

"Later the queen felt that although the Wu Ma civilization took a deformed path, it had no clear extremist ideology."

"Moreover, the ascension system's upper limit is low; the Wu Ma civilization is essentially binding itself, and will eventually reap its own bitter fruit, so Queen Keisha let them develop on their own."

"I say this so you understand: although ascension is a shortcut, for a god of your level it is completely worthless."

"You mean… ascension cannot affect those above king‑level super genes?" Chu Yang frowned; He Xi's view conflicted with his original expectation.

He Xi affirmed: "Exactly, ascension can take a shortcut because they abandoned the super gene foundation, using only the weakest super gene to match the so‑called power of faith."

"If the super gene is strong, it cannot be compatible with the power of faith."

"This is also why, when that Wu Ma scholar first proposed the theory, the Super God Academy rejected it." Chu Yang frowned in thought, and after a long while continued: "No matter what, I want to clarify the principle of the ascension system and its core technology."

He Xi merely took him as someone who won't cry until seeing the coffin, saw no need to persuade further, and softly said: "I cannot help with this; the ascension system was the independent research result of that Wu Ma scholar; the Super God Academy's database has no backup."

"However, I once idly studied it a bit, but failed due to lacking the core technology."

"If we had the complete gene code of an ascendant, perhaps I could try to crack it."

If there is a complete genetic code of an ascended being, perhaps I can try to crack it.

However, the genetic code must at least come from a transcendent of third‑generation Divine Body level, or from the royal family of the Woma Civilization.

Chu Yang's eyes brightened, and he immediately said, "I'll figure out the genetic code!"

He Xi suddenly sensed something amiss, gritted his teeth and said, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm not your tool!"

"The terms of your deal with Yan are merely that I provide you with some technical support."

"I've already installed a void energy driver for you; why do you still expect me to research the ascension system?"

Chu Yang smiled and said, "Don't you want to get a clear picture?"

"As long as you're willing to help, after I upgrade Jiaweis, I don't mind further refining the Heavenly Computing Cluster for you."

"Even if it can't match the Great Clock, reaching the level of the Divine Knowledge Treasury is no difficult task!"

He Xi's breathing suddenly quickened, "You are the supreme deity of the universe; you must keep your word!"

"I always keep my word!" Chu Yang replied with a smile.

He Xi thought it over carefully and indeed it seemed so; whether it was the earlier Earth turmoil or the void battlefield, every promise Chu Yang made, Chu Yang carried out.

Thinking of that, she reluctantly said, "Fine, fine! I thought that without that tomboy, I could enjoy a peaceful retirement, but it turns out I still have to work for you."

Seeing He Xi swallow the big pie he had drawn, Chu Yang said no more idle talk; after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he hung up.

Once Pan Gu is released, upgrading the Heavenly Computing Cluster to the level of the Divine Knowledge Treasury is naturally no difficult task.

But the premise is the final version Chu Yang envisions! The first‑generation prototype of Pan Gu cannot achieve this.

To upgrade to the final version, one must obtain the core technology of the Great Clock, so Chu Yang does indeed keep his word, but that will be a matter far in the future…

After delivering orders to Hu, who is far in Woma, Chu Yang left the North Star.

He set up a Shushan Formation in the courtyard; anyone below Divine Rank who enters will be trapped by the maze formation.

For beings above Divine Rank, Red Thunder will naturally intervene to resolve the situation.

But if an ordinary person mistakenly enters the courtyard, Red Thunder's attack on them would inevitably cause panic.

Chu Yang told Red Thunder the way out of the maze; if an ordinary person strays in, Red Thunder can guide them out.

Center of the Sahara Desert.

Chu Yang stood amid the swirling sand, and after confirming no one was present, he gently waved his hand.

The Four Sacred True Spirits materialized, whistling and spiraling around him, their presence grand.

Compared with the previous state of the Source Martial True Body, after acquiring the Ascension

Spirit Manual, the Four Sacred True Spirits grew considerably larger.

Chu Yang made a rough estimate: a single Four Sacred True Spirit is comparable to the elite of third‑generation Divine Bodies; if the four spirits combine, complementing each other, they could even contend with fourth‑generation Divine Bodies.

It should be noted that the greatest strength of the Ascension Spirit Manual lies in its ability to forge treasures into the Four Sacred True Spirits, yet Chu Yang has not yet refined any treasure.

At present, the power of the Four Sacred True Spirits is entirely based on Chu Yang's Source Breath and the realm of the Source Martial True Body.

The soul's supreme treasure, the treasures forged into the four limbs, now includes these four "Gold‑Swallow Beasts", which gives Chu Yang a bit of a headache.

He never imagined that one day he would worry due to a severe lack of treasures.

This is mainly because he has plucked almost all the peaches from the major worlds; the Super God World is tech‑oriented, so the only things considered treasures are various weapons, engines, and celestial computers.

But those items are also technological products; data is their core component, you can't just refine a huge chunk of data, right? Just as Chu Yang was frowning helplessly, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

This gave Chu Yang a somewhat dazed feeling; although he habitually carries his phone, since acquiring Jiaweis it has become merely a decorative object.

Most importantly, how could there be any signal in the Sahara Desert?

The incoming call displayed an unknown number; Chu Yang knew without thinking it must be Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao calling via Denno No. 3.

Sure enough, after raising his hand to answer, a familiar and urgent voice instantly came through the receiver.

"Chu Yang! Is this Chu Yang?"

Chu Yang then recalled that he had sent Jiaweis to the Soul Palace for an upgrade; clearing his throat, he pretended nothing was amiss and asked, "Old Duka? Why did you think of calling me?"

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao replied irritably, "I didn't want to either! But Denno No. 3 suddenly couldn't detect Jiaweis's presence; I couldn't reach you, so I had to call!"

"You hurry over to the Giant Rift!"

"What's so urgent? Has Hua Ye arrived?" Chu Yang asked, a bit puzzled.

Without Jiaweis, comprehensive monitoring of the galaxy is impossible, but if Hua Ye has arrived, he would naturally sense the aura of a fourth‑generation Divine Body.

"No, the situation is a bit complicated; let's discuss when you arrive!" From Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao's tone, it seemed he didn't know how to describe the sudden circumstance.

Chu Yang frowned; something must be serious to make Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao so anxious.

After all, Earth has its own guardian; even if Karl arrives, there's no need to be overly nervous.

Realizing the gravity of the matter, Chu Yang stopped the idle talk, hung up, and stepped into the wormhole.

Arriving above the Giant Rift, Chu Yang's gaze hardened.

On the deck stood a multitude of warriors, all clad in black armor, evidently the Mighty Soldier Regiment.

"Putting on such a big show?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow and darted straight into the command center.

Inside the command center, besides the command team led by Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao, Ge Xiao Lun, Zhi Xin, and Qi Lin were also present; the atmosphere was extremely solemn, a posture of strict readiness.
