You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 500 - 238: Even Grandmasters Are Scammers?
The idea of turning the Bridge of Heaven and Earth into the Heaven and Earth Furnace was inspired by Ye Qingzhou from the "Celestial Casting Scripture" to solve the issue of "Spiritual Qi being toxic."
"Yingyue."
"My lord, you’re awake?"
The door of the quiet chamber was pushed open by Yingyue from the outside. She thought Ye Qingzhou had voluntarily secluded himself this time, unaware he was trapped in the Spiritual Realm.
Ye Qingzhou didn’t explain much, merely having a suspicion that Yingyue, this demoness, was perhaps one of Cyan Emperor’s arrangements.
It’s important to know that the mental imagery Yingyue had previously condensed was named Evergreen Eternal, that phantom of Jian Wood contained profound Dao resonance, something far beyond what a mere python could comprehend on its own.
Kang Jinlong probably knew Yingyue’s unusual identity too, and among the original Five Flood Dragons, only Yingyue survived. She constantly asked Ye Qingzhou for Innate Wood Qi, likely to nurture the seed of the Wood Armor Divine Tree.
Of course, Yingyue herself probably wasn’t aware of these arrangements, as she inexorably approached Ye Qingzhou driven by instinct.
"A pawn manipulated by fate..."
Ye Qingzhou could not help but utter a sigh of lament.
"What pawn?"
Yingyue tilted her head at his words, utterly puzzled.
"It’s nothing."
Ye Qingzhou did not reveal the truth to Yingyue.
Often, people who remain ignorant of the truth can live even more joyfully.
But once the truth is known, it means there’s simply no retreat, only the path of resolute resistance remains.
Ye Qingzhou reached out to stroke Yingyue’s pointed chin, saying, "Activate your Bridge of Heaven and Earth, and let me take a look."
"Is my lord about to tread the Path to Heaven?"
Yingyue’s eyes brightened. She was already entirely bound to Ye Qingzhou’s interests, so she naturally cared deeply about Ye Qingzhou’s cultivation and realm.
In her view, Ye Qingzhou should have long taken this critical step.
How could she know that Ye Qingzhou now had no choice but to bear the heavy responsibility of resisting the invasion of the Divine Dynasty, not due to political awareness but simply because he did not want to become anyone’s dog.
Given the past conduct of the Void Divine Dynasty, the near extinction of the Linn, Feather, Kun, and Luoo clans served as a bloody reference, and Ye Qingzhou did not believe there were no surrendering factions among them.
Yet, the fate of these factions was ultimately tragic.
Otherwise, the remaining strong individuals among the four tribes would not have set aside prejudices and fought unitedly in that great war seven thousand years ago.
Therefore, being a dog for the Divine Dynasty was never a good choice.
Yingyue then let her Qi penetrate Heaven and Earth, activating her Bridge of Heaven and Earth, allowing Ye Qingzhou to observe and study.
Ye Qingzhou activated the Celestial Eye, and the pineal gland on his forehead radiated golden Divine Light, penetrating all things and illuminating the ten directions.
With the Celestial Eye opened, observing the ten directions was akin to reading palm lines!
In Ye Qingzhou’s sight, the so-called Bridge of Heaven and Earth was, in fact, a special Heaven and Earth Law. However, most of Blue Star’s laws naturally formed from extensions of the Spiritual Realm.
The law of the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, however, was artificially compiled and forcibly embedded into the world, leaving Martial Artists to sense its existence upon reaching a certain realm, thereby stepping onto the Celestial Tier and walking the Path of Martial Dao Godhood.
"Indeed..."
Ye Qingzhou had long been able to sense the existence of the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, and his foundation was sufficient. Still, he instinctively refrained from stepping forward.
Now, it seemed this decision was absolutely correct.
"The law of the Bridge of Heaven and Earth is likely intentionally left by the Divine Dynasty. Although its presence aids Martial Artists in quickly stepping onto the Path to Heaven, what is the cost?"
Ye Qingzhou considered solemnly, "Using the Bridge of Heaven and Earth to enter the Martial Arts Master’s realm, the subsequent Grandmaster and even Martial Saint realms naturally become castles in the air based on the Bridge of Heaven and Earth. If there’s an issue with the Bridge, the consequences would be unimaginable."
This is the downside of being controlled by others.
"The path of Martial Dao has no shortcuts. Since the road others have paved is flawed, I will pave my own."
After observing Yingyue demonstrate the function of the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, Ye Qingzhou became even more resolute in his deep-seated thoughts. He then stated, "Yingyue, try extracting Primordial Qi through the Bridge of Heaven and Earth."
"Okay, my lord."
Yingyue immediately continued her demonstration.
Only to see the invisible Bridge of Heaven and Earth straightforwardly penetrating both the present world and the Spiritual Realm, beginning the extraction of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
Yingyue only knew the Bridge could traverse the heavens and earth, unaware of the origins of Primordial Qi. In contrast, Ye Qingzhou, relying on the Celestial Eye, glimpsed a corner of the truth.
"I see..."
Ye Qingzhou saw vividly through the Celestial Eye, thereby deriving a conclusion in his heart: "Primordial Qi comes from the Spiritual Realm, or rather, the Divine Dynasty uses the Spiritual Realm as a transfer station, ’dumping’ Primordial Qi towards Blue Star. The Martial Arts Master’s Bridge of Heaven and Earth essentially temporarily opens a barrier between the present world and Spiritual Realm." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Nonetheless, Blue Star has its defense mechanism, which is the existence of the Celestial Vein.
In ancient times, Emperor Yaor commanded the reopening of Earth and Heaven with finality, utilizing the Celestial Vein repaired by Nuwa to completely seal the channel for Primordial Qi’s entry into Blue Star, and the existence of each Grotto Heaven essentially became a series of ’pressure valves.’
"Even though the seal ultimately faced issues, with Primordial Qi continually penetrating the barrier and entering Blue Star, the Celestial Vein’s existence remains meaningful, at least isolating most Primordial Qi within the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm. Even the Bridge of Heaven and Earth trying to traverse the Spiritual Realm faces layers of Celestial Vein blockade outside the Grotto Heaven, significantly reducing efficiency."
