"Are these all experint records?" Zhang Rongfang’s heart skipped a beat.
He had long felt that it was impossible for people in this world to be so ignorant as to not explore and understand the spiritualization of humans.
Now it seems that it wasn’t that they hadn’t done it, but rather that the results had not been made public.
He imdiately continued to read on.
’Test thods: Firewood, Coal Fire, Iron lting Furnace, Earth Fire.’
’Test Duration: First test ten minutes, second test one hour, third test one period, fourth test....’
Followed by a series of extended ti records.
Zhang Rongfang casually browsed through and found that there was a detailed record of the spiritualized individual for each test.
He flipped directly to the end and saw that the record of each test showed survival.
Survival, survival, survival, survival!!
The repeated survival seed to be a silent mockery, making even the handwriting of the record appear sowhat hasty.
Finally.
There was a different sign.
’This test result: Individual’s consciousness unclear, suspected madness.
After the fiftieth death and revival, everything returned to normal. The madness disappeared, accompanied by partial mory loss. Everything returned to the beginning.’
"Even the experint subject went insane but could be restored?" Zhang Rongfang’s heart turned cold.
There was both the ruthlessness of experinting on the Celestial Maiden and others, and the shock towards the spiritualized individual.
This kind of resurrection, even restoring the ntal aspect....
In other words, deification and spiritualization can indeed affect the mind.
In this light, whether the deified immortal individual is truly oneself is still questionable.
At this mont, Zhang Rongfang was utterly firm in his mind that he would never deify himself.
Such deification is sheer heresy!
He closed docunt number one and continued to browse the docunts below.
Below were various other tests on the spiritualized individuals: poison, drowning, heavy weapon suppression, sharp weapon cutting, explosive blasts, and so on.
In most of these execution thods, the ultimate result was the spiritualized person going insane, then resurrecting, losing part of their mory, and regaining their wits.
Moreover, upon reaching a certain number of tis, a spiritual explosion occurred, after which everything reset and death count had to be reaccumulated.
Specifically, for Spiritual Guards about forty tis, for Spiritual Veins ninety-nine tis.
As Zhang Rongfang flipped through the docunts, he paused on the experint using a divine saber to cut the spiritualized person.
’Thirteenth Limb Cutting Test.’
’At the mont when the limb was forcibly detached, spiritual lines erupted from the wound, causing the imdiate death of three people at the edge, their lives seized.’
’The spiritual line linked the severed limb to restore it.’
’Sixteenth Head Cutting Test.’
’At the instant of death from head detachnt, spiritual lines erupted from the neck, affecting all living beings within ten ters. Two people, unable to dodge, died instantly.’
’Thirtieth Organ Removal Test.’
’As soon as the eyeball was extracted, the spiritual line erupted....’
The docunts recorded data from testers who risked their lives during each experint.
The more Zhang Rongfang read, the heavier his heart beca.
The docunts recorded that any relatively large organ forcibly cut from the spiritualized person would trigger a localized spiritual explosion.
And this localized spiritual explosion, in the experints, even caused the death of a Super Grade Three Emptiness master on the spot.
And the one who caused the localized spiritual explosion was just a small Spiritual Guard they quietly captured...
His strength was rely Ninth Grade...
Ninth Grade... caused the death of a Super Grade Three Emptiness master....
This was the first ti Zhang Rongfang felt the fragility of ordinary people compared to spiritualized individuals.
Even if one’s martial arts reached the pinnacle of Super Grade, still.....
Next.
He continued to browse through the following docunts.
As more test subjects were captured, including so Spiritual Veins experints, they directly caused serious injuries to an Eastern Sect Grandmaster participating in the experints.
The nature of the spiritual lines began to be gradually uncovered through the tests.
Their characteristics are: sharpness, toxicity, initial eruption speed comparable to a bullet from a firearm, possessing a certain biological instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and automatically pursuing targets.
In one of the experints, soone donned a full set of heavy armor, but was still penetrated by the spiritual line and died on the spot.
The test result was that amongst all known objects, there was only one thing that could effectively block the spiritual line.
Everything else was useless, and tal only delayed the ti before being pierced.
And that thing was....
Zhang Rongfang turned the next page and upon seeing the hand-drawn image of that object, felt both surprised and expected.
"Sir, have you found anything?" Zhang Yunqi approached and inquired.
"Found... a lot." Zhang Rongfang pointed to the docunts on the table and sighed.
Just from these docunts, the number of deaths due to accidents in the experints exceeded a hundred.
It shows that the Eastern Sect conducted an unknown amount of research here over ti.
So many people, one after another, gave their lives to thoroughly research deification and spiritualization....
This secret collection of the Eastern Sect, a gift from the Celestial Maiden, indeed felt too heavy for him....
Zhang Yunqi also picked up a docunt and carefully read it, his expression changing subtly.
While he read the data, Zhang Rongfang continued to review other records.
Apart from the execution records of spiritualized individuals, there was also research on Super Grade secret dicines.
It was clear that the Eastern Sect was trying to find a path to combat spiritualized beings through secret dicine and Martial Arts.
But unfortunately, the two were completely incomparable.
In the experint, the most successful individual only had skin comparable to steel and power and speed reaching the apex of Three Emptiness.
But because this person overdosed on the secret dicine combination, they only lived for thirty-two days in the end.
Unknowingly, Zhang Rongfang had already flipped to the last docunt.
The handwriting of this docunt was very different from the others.
The handwriting of the other docunts was sowhat scribbled, varying in length, with slight differences in stroke and spacing.
But this docunt was different.
Every character in it was uniformly spaced, with the sa height and width.
Each stroke seed to be printed by a machine, extrely neat.
’Test number 13,672.’
’Collected from various sects for martial arts in body refinent, concentrated secret dicine to strengthen the physique, to transcend limits.’
’The involved cultivation techniques are as follows.’
’Eastern Sect: Great Bright Dragon Fist.’
’Zhenyi Sect: Ultimate Skill - Extre Mystic Yin Finger.’
’Sensing Sect - Moon God Lineage: Sixfold Moon Canon.’
’Confucianism: Heart-Monitoring and Qi-Nourishing thod.’
’Royal Family: Grand Martial Code.’
’Celestial Lock Teaching: Heart-Locking Sacrificial thod.’
Following these were a series of cultivation techniques from forces Zhang Rongfang had never heard of.
He flipped through page by page, until the end, detailing hundreds of carefully selected orphans from across the country, all of whom were exceptionally gifted.
They had started practicing various body refinent martial arts since childhood, using various super grade dicines over decades, purely enhancing body strength.
Finally... reaching the peak state of these cultivation techniques, and then returning here one by one for testing.
Zhang Rongfang did not know what ans the Eastern Sect used to bring all these orphans, who had beco top experts, back here.
But... the results of the experint were still docunted.
’Conclusion: Regardless of the martial art, the power of man, at its peak, even with full armor, cannot withstand the strength of the spiritual line.’
’Therefore, the future path of martial arts, if it is to have a chance, should abandon hard skills and focus on body technique.’
This last sentence, with its neat and highly regular handwriting, looked the sa as before, but the last stroke had a slight fluctuation.
That was the only imperfection.
It also revealed the intense emotions that the writer had at the ti.
Zhang Rongfang sighed softly.
He finally understood why in today’s martial arts world, so many martial arts focus primarily on agility in body technique.
Looking back now, it seems that the cause had been destined many years ago.
"Sir, co and see here." Suddenly, Zhang Yunqi spoke up from the side.
Zhang Rongfang put down the docunt and looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw Zhang Yunqi standing by the bookshelf in the cave, holding a small booklet.
The cover of that booklet also had a serial number written on it, but the material seed much newer than the docunts pressed on the table.
It seed to have been recorded recently.
Zhang Rongfang quickly walked over, took the docunt, and began to flip through it.
’Note by Tong Zhang—
After testing, it was found that all identity tokens left by those with deity-worship rituals in major forces were used to monitor the main cultivation technique level.
Extre caution must be exercised during use. Tokens often leak secrets upon returning for handover.’
Zhang Rongfang’s heart trembled as he quickly looked at the Great Dao Teaching identity token hanging on him.
Yet, fortunately, even if there was monitoring, he was just super grade external dicine, not too outrageous yet.
Good thing he saw this here; if he hadn’t noticed at all, upon returning... it could have greatly exposed the secrets of his strength improvent speed.
Although, before the deity worship, Zhang Rongfang believed that Master Chongxuan would not harbor ill will toward him.
But so secrets must never be exposed, no matter what.
He continued reading.
’Sumr of 1158, when Master went into seclusion, I conducted the testing continuation.’
’Test number 13,673.
In the direction of martial arts, those with supre talent have achieved great success in the practice of ultimate body refinent skills.
Test result: Increased survival ti by several seconds upon spiritual line eruption.
Actual single-person confrontation, win rate is zero.’
’Test number 13,674.
Abandoned martial arts direction, attempted to use statue fragnts as barriers, combined with armor.
Result was a failure, spiritual line entered through armor gaps, tester died.’
Subsequently, Zhang Rongfang vaguely saw that the handwriting seed to be that of Celestial Maiden Tong Zhang.
It appeared that she had continued the testing from where the previous person left off.
However, what puzzled him was, if it were just these contents, it wouldn’t be enough to attract the attention of so many forces to the hidden records.
There should be a truly more important secret hidden here.
"Besides these, is there nothing else here?"
Zhang Rongfang, puzzled, quickly flipped through this new docunt.
Soon, a new experintal record appeared before his eyes.
’1183, execution of the secret cult clearance plan.
Clearance of the Gesar Sect, all spiritual guards and spiritual veins were cleared. Clue discovered.’
’Divine General Ershado acted, personally raiding to preserve the teachings of the Gesar Sect, entered the Gesha Cathedral for one hour.
In the hall of the Sect Dawn Light, all core statue groups were destroyed.
All spiritual guards and spiritual veins simultaneously lost consciousness.
Conclusion confird: The deity-worship statues all have a corresponding spiritual body.’
’Weakness determined: Those who succeed in deity worship will automatically manifest their corresponding statue in the divine temple.
Destroying the corresponding statue can completely kill the corresponding spiritualized person.’
