"Let me make the God Bestowed Spirit Ring myself?"
"No, the God Bestowed Spirit Ring definitely can't be made. The goal of this task is to develop it using the Spirit Bone? Or is the research on the Spirit Bone just supplementary material, meant for reference?"
Su Wen sighed.
The task description was brief, clear, and easy to understand.
However, the task itself was not simple.
Resolving the potential Spirit Ring crisis that the Spirit Master World might face in the future, although it was achieved in later generations, the technology on the Douluo Continent is too backward at present.
Achieving this step is not so simple.
"Divine Cultivation Insights?" Su Wen pondered the potential benefits of this reward for himself.
Su Wen was not a deity, so he couldn't use these insights for his own cultivation. However, the cultivation of deities revealed many of their characteristics, which might be a great help in creating a divine position.
"It still needs to be taken seriously."
"Moreover, if a new method for obtaining Spirit Rings could truly be found, it would be a major revolution for the Spirit Master World. The status of the Wisdom Palace would be even more solidified, and the collection of Power of Faith would be accelerated."
Su Wen didn't stay in the Spirit Fighting Realm for long.
Although the heaven and earth energy in the Spirit Fighting Realm was rich, making cultivation effects quite good, Su Wen didn't have the time, nor did he lack the cultivation benefits provided by the energy.
Now he could continuously use his Second Spirit Skill to enhance the concentration of energy in his body for cultivation.
Upon leaving the Spirit Fighting Realm, Fighting Heaven Douluo came out with Su Wen.
"Hehe, you see, even the War God thinks it's beneficial for you to come with me this time," Su Wen said to Fighting Heaven Douluo.
Fighting Heaven Douluo was still feeling sullen, sensing a disparity in treatment compared to other guardians. He cast an annoyed glance at Su Wen.
"Lord War God asked me to stay in the Spirit Fighting Arena, not to follow you as a bodyguard. It doesn't mean he acknowledges that this will be beneficial."
"Don't worry, you'll find out when we get there. Honestly, senior, you have a chance to break through this time."
Although Fighting Heaven Douluo appeared skeptical, he took it somewhat seriously in his heart. He had been stuck at level ninety-six for a long time, so if there was a chance to break through to level ninety-seven, he naturally cared about it.
"Let's go."
"That's the direction of the palace."
"Exactly, we need to go to the palace first. I have to get something."
At the Heaven Dou Palace, 'Xue Qinghe' looked at Su Wen with surprise.
"Xiaowen, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is a treasured artifact of my Heaven Dou royal family. It's not an exaggeration to call it a national treasure. It's probably very difficult to borrow."
Although it was said to be difficult to borrow, the way 'Xue Qinghe' expressed it showed that he didn't really care about lending out the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
National treasures and the like were not important; what mattered was the empire itself.
Su Wen needed to deal with Emperor Xue Ye on this matter.
Su Wen was already prepared for this.
"I will use a certain amount of the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques as collateral."
The Book of Ten Thousand Techniques?
'Xue Qinghe''s eyes flickered as he assessed the feasibility of using the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques as collateral to borrow the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
"Xiaowen, don't blame Brother Xue for not warning you. Although the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques is valuable, using it as collateral to borrow the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud may require a very large amount of it."
Su Wen's expression was calm, as he had already anticipated this.
"Alright, then follow me. I will take you to see Father."
...
Imperial Study.
"Su Wen greets Your Majesty." Su Wen cupped his hands in greeting.
"Master Wen need not be so formal." Emperor Xue Ye said solemnly, "I heard from Qinghe that Master Wen needs the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
"Yes."
"May I ask Master Wen if you could reveal the purpose of borrowing our royal Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
"To go to sea," Su Wen replied calmly.
"To go to sea?"
Emperor Xue Ye furrowed his brows and stared at Su Wen with a deep gaze.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had many mysterious uses, but these were closely guarded secrets of the royal family. How did Su Wen know about them?
Was it Qinghe?
He glanced at the Crown Prince, wondering why the Crown Prince had disclosed information about the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Su Wen this time.
"The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is a treasured artifact of our royal family."
"I can offer ten pages of the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques per year as compensation to the royal family."
Emperor Xue Ye furrowed his brows, weighing the value of the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques against the duration for which the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud would be borrowed.
While lending it out meant it would eventually need to be returned, the risk of not getting it back had to be considered. Therefore, the exact value of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud needed careful deliberation.
"Ten pages is too little."
Su Wen shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, ten pages is quite a lot."
"Moreover, Your Majesty might not know that the Study Realm has recently announced a new technique."
At Su Wen's words, not only Emperor Xue Ye but also 'Xue Qinghe' was taken aback.
Although they could not keep constant watch on the Study Realm due to their political duties, it didn't mean they were indifferent to what happened there. If the Study Realm announced a new and significant technique, they would surely receive the news immediately.
Now that Su Wen mentioned this, it was clear that the technique was recently announced.
"What technique is it?"
"Visualization Method," Su Wen said.
"Visualization Method?"
"Yes, it's a technique I developed for cultivating Spiritual Power. Even ordinary Spirit Masters who haven't condensed their Spiritual Power can use this technique to study and visualize the diagrams to refine their Spiritual Power and open up the Sea of Consciousness in advance."
Hiss~
A technique for cultivating Spiritual Power!
If it were just a technique for cultivating Spiritual Power, that would be one thing. But the key point is that Su Wen said this Visualization Method could be tried even by Spirit Masters who are not of the Spiritual attribute and whose Spiritual Power hasn't yet formed.
The value is entirely different.
This is not only more valuable than Internal Strength for Soul Power cultivation, but its worth far surpasses that.
Is he even going to release such a technique?
"But what does the announcement of the Visualization Method have to do with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?" 'Xue Qinghe' asked, shifting the topic back.
Emperor Xue Ye glanced at the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Visualization Method is also a technique."
Su Wen's point was understood by both.
The Book of Ten Thousand Techniques could also assist Spirit Masters in cultivating the Visualization Method!
If it were a Soul Power technique, the assistance would help Spirit Masters quickly get started with the technique. However, for the Visualization Method, the assistance not only helps in getting started but also likely accelerates the condensation of Spiritual Power under the influence of the most complete version of the Visualization Method.
Cultivating Spiritual Power is intangible and elusive.
Even if Su Wen announced the Visualization Method, how many could truly master this technique?
While Spirit Masters who haven't condensed their Spiritual Power or opened their Sea of Consciousness could use the Visualization Method to accomplish these steps, how much effort would it require?
For cultivating Spiritual Power, it's still most cost-effective for Spirit Masters who have already opened their Sea of Consciousness.
If the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques can assist in cultivating the Visualization Method, it would solve this problem.
The cultivation guided by the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques is done strictly according to the technique, and the effect on Spirit Masters, under the guidance of the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques, is exactly the same as the complete version of the technique.
Besides experiencing the complete operation of the technique, the efficiency driven by this complete operation is far beyond that of just a beginner technique.
With the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques assisting in the cultivation of the Visualization Method, even without refining Spiritual Power, one can quickly condense Spiritual Power and open the Sea of Consciousness.
Moreover, the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques is for one year.
What if the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques were given to two Spirit Masters to take turns for a year?
Or if three Spirit Masters perfectly allocated the twenty-four hours a day, each using it for eight hours?
One page of the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques means the potential for one to three Spirit Masters who have opened their Sea of Consciousness, as well as the possibility of quickly mastering the Visualization Method.
The value of Spirit Masters who have opened their Sea of Consciousness is self-evident. Even the added value of Spiritual Power in accelerating cultivation for Spirit Masters with lower Soul Power levels is extremely precious.
Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath and stopped weighing the value.
In fact, the greatest value is Su Wen himself. It is the announcement of the Visualization Method by Su Wen that is fundamental.
The added value of the Book of Ten Thousand Techniques provided by the Visualization Method is not important.
"Master Wen, I will go get the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud right away."
