Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1292: Chapter 301: A Bountiful Harvest—Seizing Xianning Prefecture and Welcoming Beloved Generals

The gap between the Dragon Realm and the Rainbow Realm is as vast as a heavenly ravine. Even Chen Jiusi, who had learned the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, was forced to jump into the golden pool to barely escape with his life when facing Elder Quan.

What does Wu Daojun have? Just a late-stage Rainbow Realm, stuck without the resources to obtain a Breakthrough Pill, only able to rely on hard training.

Years wasted, whether it’s five years, ten years, or twenty years, he slowly reached the peak of the Rainbow Realm, just one step away from Breaking Realm. That’s why he is known as a half-step Dragon.

Without a Breakthrough Pill, he has to rely on talent and strength to force his way through. Of course, if given another twenty or even ten years, he might actually break through.

This is another path for Martial Artists, relying on talent and Martial Arts perseverance to break through — the path of great perseverance.

But in this flashy era, few rely on this to make breakthroughs.

Because when consuming elixirs can upgrade one’s realm, why insist on grinding through perseverance? Others can gather herbs and break through in a month or two, or exaggeratingly, even in a few days.

Would you rely on ten, twenty years to grind your realm?

Such realms might be more stable than those achieved by consuming elixirs, but what’s the point? In ten or twenty years, others might have already transcended two or three major steps, which is truly terrifying.

At that time, being two or three steps apart, relying on your stable foundation to fight desperately?

Don’t be ridiculous.

You’d be crushed to bits in an instant. Thus, every era’s rise of a technique, a cultivation method, a reform, actually meets the needs of people of that era.

No one goes against the demands of an era.

Just like in the Pre-Qin Era, nature’s spiritual energy was extraordinarily abundant, and people naturally preferred relying on their own strength for breakthroughs to gain the sturdiest foundation for future progress.

But later, with the massive change in nature, spiritual energy became scarce, except for some outstanding treasure medicines or those left from the Pre-Qin Era that still contained rich nature’s spiritual energy.

Later, the alchemical Dao patriarch, Ancestor Lu, founded the Pill Furnace Sect, extracting the spiritual energy within treasure medicines through elixirs, thereby replenishing oneself, forming today’s mainstream of enhancing one’s realm through elixir consumption.

This is unavoidable, as nature’s spiritual energy has dried up; one must conform to the times and not wish for the Pre-Qin greatness.

The cultivator realms back then were incredibly sturdy, but it’s useless because the era is different now.

The saying, ”Yes, Lord, the times have changed.”

Moreover, Chen Jie foresaw that as spiritual energy became even more depleted, perhaps in later generations, in five or six hundred years, people would no longer revere Martial Arts.

Chen Jie knew, that would be the era when humanity abandoned physical cultivation and turned to studying science, an era where planes and cannons would be played to their utmost potential.

In that era, humanity might be feeble, but Chen Jie knew of its terror, the weapons of that era capable of slaughtering immortals and destroying Buddhas; a nuclear balance of the world, just asking Master Zhang of the Land Immortal Realm: would he dare endure a nuclear strike?

And that’s the choice of that era; there’s no alternative, as humans will certainly develop in the direction most suited to them.

If humans can’t change the environment, then humans will start adapting to the environment. Those going against the environment are simply foolish.

Chen Jie is not a foolish person, so he chooses the Path of the Alchemical Core for his breakthroughs, coupled with his cultivation of the ”Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique,” leading to his realm being exceptionally stable.

He could achieve the level of a Pre-Qin cultivator, who relied on bodily breakthroughs.

Nonetheless, his realm remains stable.

But once again, who is truly more admirable? It’s the ’fools’ who persist against all odds.

Though such fools might be stubborn, their persistence often provides a favorable impression. For instance, this half-step Dragon, Wu Daojun — though his strength is ordinary, his ability to remain immovable for years, pursuing his goals relentlessly, demonstrates his extraordinariness.

Chen Jie very much admires such people, often they just lack a chance.

At this point, Chen Jie starts with the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, although merely the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms, Chen Jie displays them with the Dragon Realm’s prowess.

Moreover, this Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms is presently one of the best Martial Arts in the world, second only to the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor, a peerless Divine Technique, the top Cross Training Palm Skill.

Thus, as Chen Jie strikes, heaven and earth are shocked.

With dragon roars echoing, resounding across the sky, the strike is one among the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms: [Shocking Hundred Miles]

Renowned for its ferocity, invincible in the world.

Also, it’s Chen Jie’s mightiest strike without utilizing the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique. As the strike goes out, heaven darkens, and the sun and moon lose their light.

Those shrouded by the palm wind gasped, sensing that they absolutely couldn’t withstand this strike.

And among those in the palm’s core, Wu Daojun was initially disdainful, though he lacked the strength of a Dragon Realm, one strike from it couldn’t kill him — he was entirely confident in blocking Chen Jiusi’s strike.

Yet truly witnessing Chen Jie’s terrifying blow, his heart trembled.

Unable to withstand, a voice inside told him, completely unable to withstand.

Under this fearsome blow, he felt weak, like a boat in a storm, ready to capsize any moment, akin to a chicken confronted by a mountain-like fierce tiger.

At this moment, he felt as if a giant dragon gazed down from above, eyes full of mocking sympathy, as if saying, ”Where do you come from, a mere ant, daring to defy the might of heaven!”
