Chapter 651: Chapter 410: Strategy
In the hall, on the sofa, Xu Yang opened the bulging tote bag, and bundles of banknotes along with blocks of gold bars appeared before him.
Although it was the era of the internet and digital currency, Chen Antai, this type of person, clearly still preferred to have physical assets on hand, so he converted part of his funds into cash and gold, locked in a safe for unexpected needs.
Unfortunately, he never got to use them; instead, they became a boon for Xu Yang—the cash and gold were already worth over a hundred million.
It was only because Xu Yang had the foresight to specially craft an extra-large tote bag that he was able to bring such a large amount of wealth back with him.
With this funding as a foundation, he could now proceed to vigorously develop his powers in a steady manner.
That’s the financial part; besides this, there were some unexpected surprises.
Herbs!
As a Gang Qi Warrior, Chen Antai’s storehouse contained many precious herbs that assisted in martial training, some of which even bordered on “Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure” and could be used to refine Spirit Pills of the first or second tier.
In today’s world, although spiritual energy was sparse, with the help of pills and special traits, Xu Yang’s advancement in the Martial Path was not too slow. Combined with his experience and the efficacy of the Martial Arts Scriptures, achieving Body Refinement Perfection within a year should not be a problem, and he even had the potential to step into the second realm and Embrace the Core.
But that was about it for the first and second realms. Currently, he could not find the materials needed to refine third-tier Spirit Pills, and with the spiritual energy in this world being so thin, achieving a Martial Path Yuan Core at the same level as the Immortal Path’s Golden Core, as well as the Divine Bridge akin to Deity Transformation, and subsequent higher Martial Path realms, would likely take a long stretch of time.
Unless he could comprehensively promote the Martial Path and turn the hundreds of billions of people in the Blue Star Federation into his Cultivation Accessories, ensuring the speed of his subsequent advancements.
That was exactly what he was doing.
“Taiyi!”
With a gentle call, spirit light appeared in the void and transformed into a slightly miniaturized machine.
Taiyi!
This was a live broadcasting device and supercomputer meticulously crafted by Xu Yang in the World of Dao and Law, using the technology of the Wandao School and his extraordinary mastery of Taoism Origin Body.
The World of Dao and Law also had network technology, although it was based on the Divine Soul Skill under the guise of cultivation. Nevertheless, a network was a network, and there were many commonalities.
Furthermore, with Xu Yang, a Taoist Master, leading the charge and employing Heavenly Craftsmen Methods to command countless devices, creating a super-brain-type Spiritual Treasure was naturally not an issue.
According to Xu Yang’s needs, Taiyi abandoned capabilities such as attack and defense, focusing its main performance on network computation. In this extraordinary but inconspicuous world, it was a godly presence within the network.
It possessed an extremely terrifying super-brain computing capability, capable of helping Xu Yang manage the network and assist in broadcasting, filming, and editing. With the most perfect shots from the best angles, it showcased the charm of the Martial Path for all to see.
This alone was enough to dominate the live streaming industry, leaving all competitors behind and taking a commanding lead.
It’s well known that the live streaming industry has always been at the bottom rung in the entertainment industry’s hierarchy, completely overshadowed by movies and television. Movies are considered art, television productions are regarded as refined, and even variety shows have the power to make stars.
But what about live streaming? What does it have?
Stunts?
Marketing?
Demons and monsters running amok?
With filmmaking and television, there are honors like Best Actor and Best Actress, and one could even become a master artist.
But as a broadcaster…
In an era where ‘internet celebrity’ is a derogatory term, live streamers are at the very bottom of the entertainment industry’s ladder, far from gaining the general public’s recognition and respect.
Why does the live streaming industry hold such a position?
One is due to the poor quality of industry personnel, chaotic scenes, pandering for attention, and disrupting social mores.
The other is due to the inherent distortion of live streaming. Both filming techniques and scripted performances cannot compete with movies and television.
Movies and television emphasize the language of cinema, conveying a story, or even a world, to the audience, immersing them in the experience.
But live streaming? As soon as the camera rolls, it’s just a jumble of words and chitchat. It’s real yet not real.
Using a more colloquial comparison, even those programs with colorful content can’t beat Ocean District’s action films.
This is the gap created by the sense of imagery and storytelling—live streaming can’t create the same sense of reality as movies and television, offering only a distorted face-to-face experience, commonly known as “breaking the immersion.”
However, Xu Yang did not have these concerns because the presence of Taiyi equated to that of a top-tier director, capable of perfectly capturing every shot, every angle, making each of his live broadcasts comparable to blockbuster movies.
With this advantage alone, he was enough to lead the way, becoming a top figure in the live streaming industry, and even change the image of broadcasters in the eyes of the public, further deepening the solemnity and sacredness of the Martial Path, conducive to the spread and popularization of Martial Arts Scriptures.
This was Taiyi’s main purpose.
As for other uses like cyber intrusion, stealing secrets, or surreptitiously filming, those were only auxiliary means. Important, yes, but not crucial.
It’s worth mentioning that Xu Yang used Taiyi to infiltrate various top-secret networks, including those of the Federation agencies, but still found little information about the secrets of the world’s Yuan Spirit or the Red Moon.
Xu Yang wasn’t surprised by this. After all, secrets of such magnitude would never be connected to external networks. Although Taiyi could be considered a god of networks, it still couldn’t neglect physical limitations and infiltrate the internal networks of major powers.
Xu Yang had yet to lift the veil of mystique of this world, but through the databases of Federation agencies and various powers, he had learned a lot, such as the existence of Martial Artists and superhuman forces.
This world, although the Yuan Spirit is sparse, still possesses extraordinary powers, among which martial artists are the most common. There are also a variety of other things collectively referred to as special abilities by federal agencies.
According to the data of the federal agencies, martial artists are a legacy of ancient times and can be cultivated through human effort, while special abilities are related to the Red Moon. After each appearance of the Red Moon, a number of special ability users emerge in the world, and many dynasties in ancient times have perished due to the chaos caused by special abilities.
This is the current world’s extraordinary power.
The level is not very high, it is even not presentable.
The peak realm of the Martial Path at present is Divine Intent Martial Artists, known as “Land Immortals!”
What level is a Divine Intent Martial Artist?
Just Body Refinement Perfection!
After integrating the War God’s Atlas, the martial arts system from the Martial Arts Scripture has been pushed to the eighth order, the realm of Divine Martial Mahayana by Xu Yang and Wandao School.
First order Body Training, eighth order Divine Martial, how much difference is there between the two?
A world whose status is equivalent to the Earth Immortal Realm, yet its extraordinary system is so underdeveloped, is obviously illogical.
Therefore, there are secrets in this world that he must deeply excavate!
Before Xu Yang can understand the true nature of the world and ascertain the foundations of various powers, he will not act too ostentatiously.
What, Martial Frenzied Rascal?
Is this what you call ostentatious?
Establishing power, nurturing a foundation, annexing all parties, claiming kingship and domination…
That’s what counts as ostentatious!
Merely streaming martial arts and still concealing his identity, how is that ostentatious?
With his strength and various methods, along with the assistance of “Taiyi’s” super-brain, unless the federal agencies and major powers resort to deep-rooted forces, they cannot pose a threat to him at all.
He could even use the identity of Martial Frenzied Rascal to accomplish the feat of “martial dominance over the world” through online channels, converting the billions of citizens of the Blue Star Federation into his own cultivation accessories.
But that’s not enough.
Martial Frenzied Rascal can only spread influence, it cannot establish power and develop business.
Although Xu Yang can suppress the world with his might alone, what he needs is not just suppression, but governance and utilization of the world.
Only through governance can the resources of this world be transformed into his power, enhancing his potentiality.
Therefore, establishing a power and developing business is a must-do.
This task he plans to undertake himself, to be accomplished by his alternate identity “Qianjin.”
As for Martial Frenzied Rascal, just doing what a “frenzied rascal” should do is enough.
In this way, developing on two fronts, Qianjin managing power, while the frenzied rascal spreads martial arts across the world, acts chivalrously, and at the same time, clears away some interfering factors for Qianjin, ensuring the True Body’s peace of mind and steady development.
This is the current strategy!
This strategy can only be carried out by himself, the original body and the three major incarnations on the other side will not transfer resources unless necessary, after all, transmitting Taiyi has already consumed a large amount of Divine Soul power from the Taoism Origin Body.
Although it is not that he cannot offer further support, it’s not very meaningful to do so, as the purpose of Zhuangzhou Mengdie is to develop new worlds, strengthen his and Wandao School’s potentiality, not to find burdens that will drag him and several incarnations into consumption.
Therefore, Xu Yang only transmitted Taiyi this time and did not send high-quality Spirit Stones or pills to assist in cultivation because he is confident that he can acquire them independently, without the need for more consumption by the original body.
In fact, his martial power is already very considerable now.
The federal agencies, whose strongest combat force is publicly known, are just a few Divine Intent Martial Artists, as well as other power users of the same level.
While he only possesses True Qi cultivation, in reality, Inner Strength, True Qi, Gang Qi, and Divine Intent all belong to the same realm, which is the martial arts realm of Body Training.
Being in the same Body Training realm, Inner Qi True Power, Gang Qi Divine Intent are not much different for him.
With his Divine Martial Mahayana cultivation and various special traits, he can easily defeat opponents above his tier.
Chen Antai is an example, a Gang Qi Grandmaster, so what? Had it not been for the sake of showmanship, he could have killed the guy with one punch.
After all, what martial arts is he cultivating, and what martial arts is Chen Antai cultivating?
The techniques from the Martial Arts Scripture, a single technique from the Fighting Scroll, can in a short time convert True Qi into Divine Gang and slay enemies above his tier. Even without special traits like “Martial Path Communicates with God,” he would not need an extra move to kill Chen Antai.
The same goes for Chen Antai, other Martial Arts Grandmasters, and those publicly known Divine Intent strongmen and special abilities users from the federal agencies. Unless they resort to deeper forces, they pose no threat to him.
Therefore, Xu Yang decides to keep “Martial Frenzied Rascal” active, thereby stirring up the surging tide of the Martial Path and sweeping across the entire Blue Star.
By then, “Qianjin” will be like a fish rising with the great waves, although outstanding, it will not draw too much attention, and might even quietly take root inside the Federation, subtly gaining control of the situation.
After all, he’s a person who loves peace, and this world is different from the previous ones, large-scale wars should be avoided if possible, to prevent causing too much destruction, which would ultimately be a loss to himself.
