I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1454 - 1030: Customized Plan
"Assign me two Unifiers, and I can go out to roam and fight." Wan Ge took the initiative to say.
He didn’t want to idle around with nothing to do, but he wasn’t foolish either. Heading out to fight alone wouldn’t last long. But having Unifiers around meant he could conduct guerrilla warfare effectively.
The combat capability of Unifiers wasn’t that weak, they didn’t need to directly participate in the battle, as long as they could protect themselves during the fight.
"Hmm... it’s not necessary to be so troublesome. You’ll cooperate with me to try something later."
Zheng Yichen thought for a moment and said to Wan Ge, Lilith had already completed her analysis of the artificial Celestial Beings.
Although the cost of creating artificial Celestial Beings remained high, Lilith had optimized the process within the Virtual World, allowing for the temporary creation of artificial Celestial Beings as placeholders.
Zheng Yichen planned to use Wan Ge’s physique, and then with the Ark of Life, create a ’clone body’, enabling Wan Ge to remotely operate the combat.
In the new plan designed by Lilith, using Zheng Yichen’s Ark of Life, the cost of creating artificial Celestial Beings could be significantly reduced.
Zheng Yichen himself could withstand the impact of the World Origin Force, making him akin to a high-end precision processor, capable of rapidly producing components for artificial Celestial Beings.
The Devouring Faction, when crafting artificial Celestial Beings, lacked precision processors like him, resulting in them having to manually create those intricate components, naturally raising the cost.
If Wan Ge didn’t want to try, Zheng Yichen wouldn’t force him; he’d arrange according to his own thoughts.
However, upon learning of Zheng Yichen’s plan, Wan Ge showed a great interest in what was to follow.
He was already an experienced Proxy Agent. While his power hadn’t hit a bottleneck, the speed of enhancement was increasingly slow at this stage.
To quickly improve, one needs to develop new cultivation methods or deepen the understanding of one’s own power.
At this moment, enhancing with some materials is merely piling, akin to modifying a car. Even if Dusk’s modification is perfect, what about the driver?
The car’s performance has improved, but the driver’s skills haven’t, rendering them unable to bring out the car’s potential, or worse, leading to wreckage due to excess performance.
In Immortality Cultivation terms, it’s when power and realm don’t match, causing easy loss of control.
But the power insight and breakthroughs developed personally don’t have such problems.
Moreover, his current strength, enhanced through Dusk, is merely adding a touch of beauty. Learning other powers is akin to adding decorations or small toolboxes to a car.
Direct material enhancement indeed impacts the main cultivated power; if it fits, all is well, but if not, it only strengthens the physique, impacting other aspects.
So now, with the chance to access higher-level powers, Wan Ge is willing to try.
To ensure the success of Zheng Yichen’s plan, Wan Ge directly provided his own vital essence.
"Wait for my good news."
Wan Ge nodded and returned to the lounge, where Lü Kong held some documents he was reading. Wan Ge thought for a moment, took out pen and paper, and started writing something.
He had already determined which type of Sword Cultivator aura lingered on Zheng Yichen. It wasn’t some advanced sword cultivation power, but rather Sword Nourishing Technique.
He’s well-versed in over dozens of Sword Nourishing Techniques, choosing the essence and discarding the dross.
For Sword Cultivators, Sword Nourishing Technique is still very important; a qualified Sword Cultivator is certainly adept at sword forging, with Sword Nourishing Technique being a crucial part.
Zheng Yichen, although he learned a bit of Sword Control Technique, is clearly more skilled at Sword Nourishing Technique, and Sword Nourishing Technique is considered as the tool box power; even if someone else masters it, it won’t impact one’s main cultivation power.
As for the usage extent, it’s merely the deviation caused by power compatibility issues.
Zheng Yichen learning Sword Nourishing Technique is likely related to his weapon; who doesn’t want to maintain their weapon well?
It’s not just a weapon; it’s an old comrade in arms.
Zheng Yichen’s plan gave him a chance to touch world power, so in return, he will share his Sword Nourishing Technique with Zheng Yichen.
Even a common weapon, with his Sword Nourishing Technique training, without adding other materials, solely influenced by one’s own power, can become a peerless wonder weapon.
He has a Sword Box, containing many weapons he regularly collects and nurtures with Sword Nourishing Technique. The Sword Box is also specifically crafted through Dusk.
However, in the fierce battles in this world, his reserve swords have been mostly depleted.
The next day, Zheng Yichen found Wan Ge at noon and led him to a cabin beside the World Tree.
Wan Ge spotted an ice coffin with himself inside, lacking some blood color, but viewing this self, Wan Ge felt as if looking in a mirror.
Not only that, but he sensed a force he lacked from this body.
Unity of Heaven and Man?
No, there’s additional power on this basis. Unity of Heaven and Man doesn’t quite suit him.
Specifically, Unity of Heaven and Man is more fitting for magic cultivators, whereas for Sword Cultivators like him, the effect is relatively lower.
He’s not particularly adept with spells or such methods; using Heaven and Earth power for Sword Control Technique doesn’t match magic cultivators in scope.
Sword Cultivators require more concentrated usage of power.
There’s no need for so many ’special effects’; just ensuring the attack’s effectiveness is enough. Other strong fighters might attack across thousands of miles just to eliminate one enemy.
When he makes a move, it’s just a sword traversing the distance. From an outsider’s perspective, the weapon seems quite ordinary when released, but the effectiveness of the attack is concentrated in the sword itself.
The difference compared to other powerful fighters is just a matter of range.
He can use the thousands of swords technique, but he doesn’t really like to.
A Sword Cultivator emphasizes personal will more; the injection of one’s will into the attack is powerful and pure. The bonus from the Unity of Heaven and Man is an extra, an external power provided.
Striking is equivalent to wrapping an extra layer of armor onto the attack.
The problem is that his attack itself is already very pure, and this added layer of armor might instead blunt the attack’s sharpness.
Infusing personal will into the power of heaven and earth’s augmentation? It’s possible... but it will take some time.
This little bit of time is short, but in battle, it’s equivalent to adding a charge-up delay to his many instant attacks, whereas normally his attacks are instantaneous.
With his current combat strength, against most enemies, those he can defeat without relying on the Unity of Heaven and Man, he can still defeat. Those he cannot defeat, the characteristic of Unity hardly increases his victory odds.
At most, it offers some more advantages in terms of endurance and defense.
As for attack, forget it. Sacrificing instant attack to enhance attack strength with an improper charge-up delay would only worsen the outcome.
Adding armor would be a dead end; defeating the enemy doesn’t require armor stacking.
Of course, reducing the amplification of Unity of Heaven and Man to a certain extent can still ensure instant attack.
However, this way, the full extent of the Unity’s amplification is hard to manifest.
Wan Ge has deep insights in this area as he has done a lot of research during his cultivation.
But he didn’t expect to encounter the power of Unity of Heaven and Man at this time, especially an enhanced version with greater force.
"This thing has two uses: the first is I can forge a blank soul matching your soul wave, and you can project your will into it for remote operation.
The second is Out-of-Body Soul."
"The second," Wan Ge said very straightforwardly. The first is safer, but the problem is that it’s just will projection, essentially remote operation, not conducive to understanding the power.
The second involves direct engagement, but with more risk.
Is there any need to choose? Of course, the second option.
"Alright, I have a method for soul separation here..."
"No need," Wan Ge shook his head. His soul state is that of a sword soul, and in necessary situations, the soul itself can be forged into a weapon on-site.
Using this way is equivalent to a life-or-death battle.
A sharp soul separated from Wan Ge’s body, directly merging into the body inside the ice coffin.
While Wan Ge’s original body stood like a statue, passively surrounded by a faint Sword Qi, even without the soul, this body continued its self-protection passively.
Wan Ge’s soul smoothly took over the body Zheng Yichen had prepared.
The ice coffin cracked open in the middle, and he walked out from inside, meticulously sensing his body’s condition.
Compared with his original body, this one only had the Unity of Heaven and Man characteristic and a slight amount of World Origin power, the rest was almost identical.
Although this body is currently in a depleted state, the Unity of Heaven and Man characteristic can quickly restore it.
But ultimately, this body is a ’clone body’, akin to an acquired body, and compared to a native body, there are differences.
Those without enough strength almost cannot notice these differences, but he could feel them.
Apart from these, this body belongs to an artificial lifeform. While excellent, it’s still not a truly natural lifeform.
In terms of potential, it is even lower than an artificial Celestial Being active nearby.
An artificial Celestial Being undergoes transformation; before the transformation, they were still natural lifeforms.
Considering this is a temporary-use body, the low potential is not an issue; potential is akin to future promise, not something immediately transformable into current capabilities.
The current strength of this body is high enough, no need to consider the future, and such flaws aren’t flaws.
Wan Ge lightly raised his hand, the Sword Box his original body carried opened, a sword flew out, and landed in his hand.
"I need some time to adapt to this body."
This body holds his own strength; there is no need to adapt to that, but the Unity of Heaven and Man characteristic and that slight World Origin power require adjustment.
The World Origin power gives this body a very short lifespan, struggling to exist for a month in normal circumstances, let alone in combat, where it might not last a week.
It’s enough. After handing over the Sword Nourishing Technique he wrote to Zheng Yichen, Wan Ge found a place to sit in meditation, carefully sensing the power of this body. After a preliminary understanding, he eagerly looked forward to real combat.
