Chapter 357: Jiang Lin, One of the Three Great Leaders of the Demon Path!
Sometimes Jiang Lin himself couldn't help but marvel at the fact that there might really be something like fate in this world.
Take the present situation as an example: Jiang Lin was surprised to find that the three Dou Huang who were closest to him—Hu Lei, who was Lightning-type; Hai Bodong, who was Ice-type; and Yun Yun, who was Wind-type—just so happened to possess the very attributes he was lacking.
According to the traditional method of training the Fire Refining Decision from the Spirit Clan, with the Five Elements fully completed, Jiang Lin could directly perform a combined cultivation method with these three Dou Huang, each with composite attributes.
The Spirit Clan's Fire Refining Decision treats the human body as a growing spiritual weapon. However, a person's soul power and cultivation speed are insufficient, so others need to cooperate in the cultivation, allowing for the growth of the spiritual weapon through a more abstract method.
However, this "spiritual weapon" wasn't just a spiritual weapon—it was more like a powerful, towering robot. At least seven people could "combine" and summon a super robot capable of defeating any opponent at the same level.
Currently, the Spirit Clan had deviated from its original path, leading to the fact that no nine-star Dou Sheng had emerged in thousands of years. However, the number of "mechs" in their clan was slowly increasing. Although the mechs couldn't leave the Spirit World, within the Spirit World, the Spirit Clan currently had eight fully developed Sacred Weapon mechs, and one that was still growing. These mechs could unleash the combat power of eight nine-star Dou Shengs.
In other words, the remaining seven clans of the ancient eight tribes wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat the eight Sacred Weapon mechs of the Spirit Clan in the Spirit World. For the normal ancient tribes, they had secret methods to increase their combat power, as well as formations to merge and enhance their energy limits. But for the Spirit Clan, being able to mobilize seven two- or three-star Dou Shengs to activate a Sacred Weapon mech, achieving the power of a nine-star Dou Sheng, was something never before seen.
Perhaps it was because of the terrifying combat power of the first Sacred Weapon mech that the Spirit Clan's path diverged from other ancient forces. While other forces still focused on having a nine-star Dou Sheng oversee each era, the Spirit Clan shifted focus to refining a Sacred Weapon mech in each era. The nine-star Dou Shengs of other ancient races would gradually wear down and be born again, while the number of Sacred Weapon mechs in the Spirit Clan continued to increase.
Although these mechs couldn't leave the Spirit World, in their own domain, the Spirit Clan was absolutely invincible.
However, for a race like the Spirit Clan, with their sky-reaching spiritual awareness, the fact that their Sacred Weapon mechs couldn't leave the Spirit World made them inevitably associate it with the creatures of this world not being able to leave this world, which led to some extreme, pessimistic thoughts and a path to extremism.
Of course, the Spirit Clan's extremism was directed at ordinary people, but for the highest-level races, the Spirit Clan's extremism was a sharp sword to break the situation!
At least now, Jiang Lin thought, he was beginning to understand the Spirit Clan.
Hating the Spirit Clan, understanding the Spirit Clan, becoming "Abu," I think I've always been from the Spirit Clan.
Outside the Magical Beast Mountain, as Jiang Lin flew along, he suddenly shook his head, clearing the mess of thoughts from his mind.
As he delved deeper into Dou Qi techniques, he realized that he was beginning to become extreme in a way similar to the Spirit Clan. Many times, Jiang Lin found that the techniques he had mastered in less than ten years were already capable of shaking the foundation of this continent, leading the world toward the mysterious and dark unknown.
If the Feather Sheath Wings were a gift for ordinary people to fly, the Crystal Pills were a supplement to the world's power system, and the Crystal Cores were the beginning of the human-beast conflict, then the Spirit Stone technology Jiang Lin held was the veil of darkness that would cover the future of the world. The Spirit Stone technology made "cultivation plundering" a tangible reality.
Holding the library of the Gama Refining Guild, Jiang Lin knew that in the Dou Qi continent, there were "demon cultivators" who could increase their cultivation by killing and eating people. The Soul Clan's black-gloved Soul Hall was one of these demon cultivators. However, Soul Hall "ate souls" in a more refined manner, without much bloodshed. Other evil forces practiced a special kind of Dou Qi called Blood Dou Qi, which was not normal Dou Qi—it could be innate or acquired. The innate kind was tolerable, at least making people somewhat normal. But those who cultivated Blood Dou Qi later in life were far from normal, because many of the techniques required to cultivate Blood Dou Qi involved killing people!
If the Demon Path were divided into factions, then Soul Hall would be the Soul Faction, eating souls, and the Blood Dou Qi factions would be the Flesh Faction, eating blood and flesh.
As for Jiang Lin? Now, he could create his own faction. He called it "farming." Pfft, pfft! The Spirit Stone faction, with the goal of sustainable exploitation!
In terms of eating, Jiang Lin was probably the most refined in the Demon Path. At least, no one died here, but it was also the most hopeless.
"Sigh," Jiang Lin sighed, and under the helpless gaze of Yun Yun and Hai Bodong, he said, "Technology is a double-edged sword, and I am its swordbearer!"
Unlike the Spirit Clan, who voluntarily became the sword and didn't hesitate to cut through dilemmas, Jiang Lin's choice was that he was both the creator of the double-edged sword and its swordbearer!
This decision perfectly aligned with the essence of his spiritual weapon!
He was both the spiritual weapon and its user!
In this regard, Jiang Lin was fundamentally different from the Spirit Clan!
"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Yun Yun, who was flying behind Jiang Lin, asked cautiously under Hai Bodong's encouraging gaze. However, Yun Yun's question made Hai Bodong twitch his face slightly.
Hai Bodong felt speechless. He had let Yun Yun speak up, thinking she would be more polite, but now she was asking someone if their brain was fine? How impolite was that? It would have been better if he had asked: "Are you stupid?"
After snapping out of it, Jiang Lin gave Yun Yun a roll of his eyes and said, "You should be thankful that my brain is still normal. Otherwise, you'd be facing the strongest super demon in history."
As he spoke, Jiang Lin made a biting motion, which made Yun Yun smile and roll her eyes at him.
"What? Did I just interrupt your distraction and suddenly I'm about to become a super demon?"
(Suddenly realized, the technological fantasy system can easily create super demons.)
Jiang Lin smiled, then looked at Yun Yun and Hai Bodong, saying, "Hai Lao actually knows about this."
"I? What do I know?" Hai Bodong was slightly shocked. Why was this coming back to him?
