Chapter 8: Martial Dao Evolutionary Path
"Dozens of cultivation techniques and martial skills have been comprehended from this ring," said Jin, rubbing it with one hand. "One of which is something that’ll allow me to fool the powerhouse inside."
He still wasn’t sure what the intentions of the ring powerhouse were, evil or otherwise, so throwing wool over its eyes was the best course of action.
"Nine-Winded Supreme Veil." Jin announced the name of the technique that he comprehended and evolved from the ring powerhouse’s |Hidden Spiritual Veil| technique. Naturally, this new version improved upon all the faults of the original and would be perfect for what Jin required it for.
|Nine-Winded Supreme Veil|
Activating the technique, Jin found that he could control the amount of spiritual energy that the ring powerhouse was transferred. This made it possible for him to cultivate without giving absolutely everything to the powerhouse; he only had to allocate a small fraction of what he absorbed.
"Consider the spiritual energy I’m willingly giving you as payment for the close connection that we have. If not for that connection, there’s no way I could’ve comprehended so much."
Against-Heaven’s Understanding was not omnipotent.
Unless someone was actively using a technique or exhibiting certain qualities, it was impossible to comprehend anything. Without direct access to a source of enlightenment, it would be the same as trying to comprehend what could be nothing from behind an impenetrable metal wall.
But because of the ’open channel’ that the ring powerhouse had with Jin and his spiritual energy absorption route, direct access was indirectly given to Jin. He didn’t need to personally witness or experience each of the powerhouse’s techniques and powers, for they were already presented to him like a public library.
"This powerhouse is definitely in the Martial Saint Realm, likely nearing the peak of the Huaxia World. But to me, he is my starter package."
Previously, neither Yang Kai nor Jin had any idea what the Martial Grandmaster or Martial Saint Realm represented, but now he did. And with that knowledge, he figured out that the Martial Saint Realm could roughly contend with a 1st Rank 8th Level Evolver.
In the Main World, that meant the Evolver was capable of demolishing skyscrapers, even whole city blocks.
