Su Wen's mouth twitched.
These.
These pages are not just simple pages, but are to be used as the basis for constructing a branch of the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge.
The Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge is not just a simple little light ball like when Su Wen showed it to Xiao Zhan, it is meant to supply all members of the branch.
Just thinking about the scale of this project made Su Wen's scalp tingle.
Goodness, just solved the problem of the Replication Spirit Skill, and now it's another big consumer of Soul Power.
No, this may not be a big consumer of Soul Power.
Compared to this project, what's the burden of the Replication Spirit Skill?
Once this project starts, it's going to drain Su Wen completely!
"I'm afraid even draining me won't satisfy it."
Su Wen fell silent.
However, when faced with a problem, one must think of solutions.
Especially since Su Wen seems to have the capability to achieve the technology involved in this idea.
Moreover, once successful, the entire Wisdom Palace will be established with his Martial Spirit as the foundation, making it easier for him to collect the power of belief in the future.
And if he can create a virtual world based on his myriad of pages, that's another major source of belief.
Su Wen is certain that if he can collect belief through this method, he might be faster than the Sea God in collecting belief.
After all, even though the belief collected by the first generation Sea God was that of the entire sea, the sea is so vast. Su Wen doubts whether the Sea God, just by conquering the sea and spreading his belief across the entire ocean, consumed at least five or six hundred years of his eight hundred years of life.
However, Su Wen is definitely not satisfied with this speed.
Becoming a god in three hundred years?
No, no, too slow.
Su Wen cut off his long-term daydream and began to ponder the problems he was currently facing.
"Since I can't bear this consumption, let others bear it. For example, my pages only need me to condense them, I will open up the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge, but in daily maintenance, it needs to be carried out by the respective branches of the Wisdom Palace. In this way, it simplifies to fixing my pages and enabling them to absorb external forces to maintain their existence."
Thinking of this, Su Wen felt somewhat familiar.
Fixing the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge, fixing the summoned pages, being able to absorb external energy and exist for a long time.
He seems to have seen a similar ability recently.
"Fire Seed?"
Xiao Zhan's Fire Seed Type Spirit Skill!
Su Wen figured it out.
By condensing the flames into a Fire Seed, they can exist for a long time.
From a different perspective, it's compressing Soul Power, separating it from oneself while not delaying the recovery of Soul Power consumed by condensing the Fire Seed. It's also an alternative method of storing Soul Power and flames.
Actually, Xiao Zhan should have had this idea too, storing the Fire Seed during normal times and being able to directly use it in battles, unleashing powerful combat capabilities.
Once the Fire Seed is condensed, as long as energy is replenished midway, it should be able to be maintained indefinitely.
"Uncle Zhan, I might not be able to wait for you to develop the secret technique. I need your skills now." Su Wen left the domain of the Three Magical Mountains—the three peaks surrounding the Wisdom Palace—and returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
"Xiaowen?" Xiao Zhan was surprised that Su Wen came at this time.
Wasn't it just a short while ago that he said it would take some time to come back?
"You're supposed to be researching, aren't you?"
Su Wen, helpless, stated his purpose.
"My Fire Seed condensation technique?"
Upon hearing Su Wen's request, Xiao Zhan looked speechless. "You, kid, I just mentioned the development of my new secret technique, and you're already fixated on it?"
"I'm not interested in your secret technique, Uncle Zhan, well, I am interested in your secret technique, but not right now," Su Wen explained. "It's just that I need your Fire Seed condensation technique for the development of the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge."
Xiao Zhan frowned.
"My Fire Seed condensation technique isn't the key; condensing the Fire Seed still relies on Spirit Skills. Although I've been exploring techniques before, I haven't been successful until I finally obtained this Spirit Skill with the help of the eighth Spirit Ring."
In other words, simply learning the technique won't enable the mastery of this self-created Spirit Skill.
Fire Seed Type Spirit Skill, can't be self-created?
Su Wen carefully considered and it seemed to be the case.
If Xiao Zhan could develop it himself, there would be no need to waste a slot for the eighth Spirit Skill.
However, if Xiao Zhan couldn't develop it, it didn't mean—
"It's definitely not my issue. I've been exploring in this area for over ten years. With my experience in creating Spirit Skills, it's impossible for me to be uncertain even about this." Glancing at Su Wen, Xiao Zhan said lightly.
He seemed to have grasped Su Wen's thoughts.
Su Wen wasn't embarrassed either and quickly thought of a new solution.
Xiao Zhan's Fire Seed Type Spirit Skill is the eighth Spirit Skill, and Su Wen definitely can't Replicate it yet, he has to wait until the eighth ring to unlock it.
However, Xiao Huo is only at the fifth ring.
"Ahem, Uncle Zhan, how about I replicate Sister Huo'er's Martial Spirit?" Su Wen looked at Xiao Zhan's expression and said.
After some thought, he decided to tell Xiao Zhan about the Replication ability of his Fourth Spirit Skill.
Xiao Zhan could be trusted.
Glancing at Su Wen, Xiao Zhan remained silent for a long time, neither agreeing nor refusing.
Finally, he spoke.
"Xiaowen, it's best if fewer people know about your Replication Spirit Skill."
Although it has flaws, only replicating seventy percent of the effects of the opponent's Martial Spirit and Spirit Skill.
But still, it can reveal the effects of someone else's Spirit Skill.
For many Spirit Masters, Spirit Skills are quite important assets.
Spirit Masters who roam the continent mostly keep a trump card up their sleeves, but if their Spirit Skills are known in advance, many of their backup plans will be exposed.
The vast majority of Spirit Masters wouldn't care whether Su Wen's Replication had limitations or flaws; they would only fear Su Wen's Replication Spirit Skill.
Of course, if it were to be exposed, it wouldn't really matter.
Firstly, there's the issue of limitations; many Spirit Masters would only fear it, but upon further thought, they might find it acceptable.
Secondly, and most importantly, this Spirit Skill poses little threat to high-level Spirit Masters.
The combat power of low-level Spirit Masters relies solely on their Spirit Skills, with little development.
But after reaching Spirit Saint level, the application of Spirit Skills becomes paramount.
Especially for exceptional individuals like Xiao Zhan and Huo Tianyang, their original Spirit Skills being replicated won't make them vulnerable.
Talented Spirit Masters are the same; most will train their control over Spirit Skills and have some development.
Those who truly fear the Replication Spirit Skill are only the mediocre low-level Spirit Masters.
Especially those popular Spirit Skills that can be used once replicated.
This is also why Su Wen didn't completely seal off Replication as if it were a treasure.
Of course, it's still better not to expose it to the outside world if possible, as it can reduce a lot of trouble.
"Don't worry, Uncle Zhan, I still know what's important."
"Well, when you reach Spirit Saint on your own, it won't really matter whether you reveal it or not," Xiao Zhan nodded.
Strength is fundamental.
He was also indirectly reminding Su Wen not to be too distracted by other matters.
"As for Huo'er, if she doesn't mind, it's fine for you to replicate her."
