Human Clan Defender-Chapter 791 - s Power of Faith, Role of the Book Spirit (Two in One, Requesting Monthly Pass)_2
The original Great Qin had a trillion citizens; now, after the merger, their numbers were even more incalculable. In such a vast population, if one in every hundred people developed faith in him, the aggregated power would become truly terrifying. This was no exaggeration. He knew that once the Martial Institute was established, the Martial Dao would inevitably become mainstream, and those who came into contact with it would be countless. Anyone who entered the Martial Dao would first see his statue. With this in mind, estimating that one in a hundred people would develop faith was, from Shen Changqing's perspective, actually a conservative guess. If one calculated it seriously, the number of believers would be even more frightening.
However, having a treasure mountain without the ability to use it was undoubtedly an agonizing thing.
Shen Changqing fell into deep thought. He would definitely not let such a vast Power of Faith go to waste.
If I can't use it, is there any possibility that others could use this Power of Faith? If that's the case, then is it possible to directly create a Divine Spirit for the Human Clan?
Wait—
If my faith can be used by others, does that mean it can also be used by other things, like...
Shen Changqing's gaze settled on the Martial Arts Scripture before him. He tried to wrap the faint golden color in his Sea of Consciousness with his Divine Sense and then slowly move it out.
This process required even more effort than leaving a Divine Ability Imprint. The reason was simple. The faint golden color in his Sea of Consciousness was actually the root of faith, meaning that the faith of people from all over the Human Clan ultimately converged there. Thus, while the golden color might appear faint, it actually contained the faith of billions from the Human Clan, making it naturally and incredibly heavy. Fortunately, Shen Changqing's strength was great enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the qualification to move it at all.
The longer he delayed, the harder it would become to move. As time passed, the Power of Faith would only grow more concentrated. Consequently, the energy required to move it when it was dense would correspondingly increase. But those were problems for the future. With his current strength in the Cave Heaven Realm, moving the initial root of faith was not a big issue.
Bit by bit, the root of faith detached from his Sea of Consciousness. Shen Changqing's expression grew intent as he began to transfer the root of faith toward the Martial Arts Scripture before him. As the two were about to touch, he focused his mind to the extreme. He did not relax in the slightest. If the integration failed, although it would not pose any problems for the root of faith, the Martial Arts Scripture would certainly have to be rewritten.
Under his gaze, as soon as the root of faith touched the Martial Arts Scripture, it merged as easily as if milk and water were blending.
In the next breath, the title "Martial Arts Scripture" on the cover was gently imbued with a pale golden hue, the entire book radiating a divine aura that commanded respect and worship. Immediately thereafter, the book began to move on its own without wind, levitating into the air and flipping its pages by itself.
RUSTLE!
As the pages flipped, a series of images emerged. Shen Changqing recognized that these images were actually the Martial Arts recorded in the Martial Arts Scripture, now all presented to him visually. Compared to reading the book, it was now even easier to understand through these images. Each image included a transparent figure seated cross-legged, clearly showing the progression of the Martial Arts and the specific meridians that needed to be followed. Ultimately, all the visions disappeared, and the pages slowly settled.
Before long, the book, once tranquil, seemed to be nurturing something new from within. A faint Divine Sense emerged, manifesting a childlike figure.
Book Spirit?
Upon seeing the figure, Shen Changqing's expression shifted subtly. He had not anticipated that after integrating the Power of Faith, the Martial Arts Scripture would actually nurture a Book Spirit. Anything capable of developing a spirit was deemed a Spirit Arm, and if it developed Spirit Intellect, it stepped into the realm of Dao Arms. However, whether it was Spirit Arms or Dao Arms, Shen Changqing had never seen an entity capable of taking on a physical form. This only increased his curiosity about the Book Spirit.
At that moment, the Book Spirit, imitating proper etiquette, bowed to the person in front and respectfully said, "Wu Shu greets Master!"
"You're called Wu Shu?" A hint of a smile appeared on Shen Changqing's face.
The Book Spirit, Wu Shu, nodded, its young face expressing a maturity beyond its years. "I was born from the Spirit Intellect nurtured within the Martial Arts Scripture, and I have given myself the name Wu Shu. If Master finds it unfitting, you may bestow upon me another name."
"Wu Shu is a fine name; there's no need to change it," Shen Changqing said, then changed the subject. "Since you've developed Spirit Intellect, have you received any information, such as an understanding of yourself?"
The development of Spirit Intellect was good news, but he was still clueless about the specific functions of the Book Spirit. Nonetheless, having been born, the spirit had certainly received some information from the unknown. Shen Changqing speculated that the source of this information was probably the Heavenly Dao of this world. The Heavenly Dao was omnipresent. Every blade of grass and every tree was the Dao; so too were the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Living beings born from Heaven and Earth were akin to the children of the world and were bound to receive some insights from it. Of this much, he was certain.
