Click! Accompanied by a unique True Power Aura, the black box opened, revealing two top-tier Secret Manuals made from white jade.
“Mr. Callum, please start the verification.”
“Okay.”
Jack nodded, picked up one of the Secret Manuals, and, following the standard procedure, first channeled his True Strength and will into it. The edge of the Secret Manual immediately flickered with light as an electronic-mechanical voice came out.
“Mid-stage Sixth-level Heaven, True Strength intensity is confirmed.”
“Mental Fluctuation verification passed… Key verification passed.”
Next was the second Secret Manual. Under the curious gaze of the audience, Jack quickly completed the unlocking of both manuals, after which two special service personnel formally saluted.
“Handover complete, Mr. Callum. We have another assignment and must take our leave now.”
“Let me see you out.”
Jack politely escorted the two special service personnel out of the restaurant.
Gwen Gail’s white fox ears twitched atop her head as she looked on excitedly: “This is the first time I’ve seen a Secret Manual handover. It seems so serious.”
Mathilda Ward laughed softly: “That’s normal, such strictness is meant to protect the Secret Manuals and also to show respect for the knowledge of those pioneers.”
“Every individual capable of creating their own Secret Manual and forging a new path possesses great perseverance and wisdom.”
“Even though due to updates and succession, many Secret Manuals from twenty or thirty years ago can’t compare to those created by Ninth Heaven experts, their achievements cannot be denied.”
“Without those pioneers, the successors wouldn’t be able to stand on the shoulders of giants and reach even further.”
“Miss Ward makes a good point.”
Returning, Jack nodded: “Creating a Secret Manual from scratch is as tough as ascending the heavens. The more 1 deduce recently, the more admiration I feel for the predecessors.”
Jack’s tone was very sincere as he spoke these words because he truly admired those people.
Without them perfecting the recent True Martial Cultivation system, structure, and overall guidelines, it would have taken him at least a year or more to construct and infer his own True Martial Secret Canon.
No, it may even have taken several years to have any hope.
Now, with three Secret Manuals as references and absorbing their essence, he was confident he could quickly deduce and create the Seventh Layer Secret Manual.
After breakfast, the group of four arrived backstage at the Blue and White Porcelain Stadium.
Although he had visited during the past few days, and with the safety assurance from Hannah Gail, Jack still went first into the wardrobe room and looked around.
After making sure there were no issues, Jack then turned and nodded slightly to Mathilda.
Gwen Gail didn’t feel offended by this precaution, but instead praised: “Brother Callum, if I hadn’t known that you joined the path midway, I would think you were a professional internal countermeasure member of the military.”
“Always maintain vigilance, never slacken.”
“Miss Gail overpraises me, this is what I should do,” Jack replied.
At this moment, Damon Lopes chuckled: “Brother Callum, 1’11 leave this place to you, I’m going to take a walk around.”
Jack nodded indifferently: “Go ahead.”
Since his responsibilities differed from Damon’s, he had no complaints about his behavior of wandering around all day.
While the two women headed to the changing rooms with the help of a costume designer to try on their stage dresses, Jack found a chair to sit and took out the Bull Devil Battle Body Secret Manual from Berlin.
As Jack’s consciousness sank, black gold vertical pupils appeared in a dim space.
This space was empty, except for the hundred-meter-tall Furious Ape that stood tall in the void and the surrounding Secret Manual’s main texts that floated in the air.
A True Martial Practitioner constructing a complete rune during the breakthrough to the Seventh Layer Heaven would, through the resonance with Heaven and Earth, form a complete ‘external avatar.’
That is the true martial arts phantom.
That was an external Dharma body containing the path of cultivators, filled with the majestic energy of Heaven and Earth, capable of unleashing immense power.
However, the cultivators from Berlin who followed the path of genetic martial arts through the fusion of Alien Beast genes were different.
Their path involved integrating martial arts with purifying the bloodline for breakthroughs; hence, when they broke through to the Seventh Layer, they did not manifest a true martial arts phantom, but instead underwent a reverse transformation into the form of a Giant Beast.
Of course, this transformation wasn’t about becoming a Giant Beast; if that were the case, it would be more convenient to simply tame a Level 7 Colossus.
This kind of transformation was a fusion of man and beast, embodying the strength and talent of a Giant Beast while retaining a human form, becoming a more perfect and powerful life form.
This Secret Book addressed the resolution of conflicts among four types of Giant Beast bloodline talents and also included the secrets to the third body enhancement during the Seventh Layer breakthrough, which caught Jack Clark’s eye.
Howard Lambert’s Bull Devil Battle Body and his Divine Tyrant Body were both results of a secondary physique transformation, which endowed them with battle power far beyond their realms, unrivaled in their dominion.
If Jack could undergo another transformation of his physique, his combat power would climb to another level.
However, the third transformation Secret Skill in this book had stringent demands, requiring a primary Essence Blood of an Eighth Level Beast of the same type, supplemented by three portions of Essence Blood from Level 7 Colossi.
This was also the core for harmonizing the four Giant Beast talents.
By ingesting the Essence Blood of an Eighth Level Beast of the same type, one could further enhance the core talent power, while the three portions of Essence Blood from Level 7 beasts would be inscribed all over the body in the form of runes, absorbing a part of their talent power as a supplementary measure.
This requirement was, for most cultivators, tantamount to a dead end.
Under normal conditions, a Sixth-Layer cultivator trying to refine a portion of Eighth Level Beast Essence Blood would have to go all out in operating their Cultivation Methods, otherwise, their flesh would be ‘poisoned’ through.
Let alone simultaneously absorbing a portion of Eighth Level Beast Essence Blood and inscribing corresponding runes outside the body with three portions of Level 7 Beast Essence Blood.
Nevertheless, this didn’t seem to be a problem for Jack.
Because he only needed the talent of the Thunderflame Emperor Beast, the conflicts between internal and external use were not significant. The issue was that these were runes related to the Seventh Layer of genetic martial arts, which could not be used carelessly.
After reading the outline of the Eight-Arm Divine Ape Secret Manual, Jack slowly set down the book, pondered for a while, and then took out the Star Sky Battle Beast Mechanism.
He wanted to take a look at the outlines of the two Secret Manuals to see which structures and concepts were useful for him, choosing selectively to comprehend part of their essence.
In contrast to Eastern Summer and Berlin, Simon, who integrated Mecha, took another path altogether.
Their cultivators regarded themselves as ‘engines and operating systems,’ combining technological martial arts with a mechanical ascension path.
In the past when technology was advancing, there were many fantastical conjectures that were all but shelved due to issues with energy utilization, material constraints, power output, and other various problems.
With the dawn of the New Era, many of the problems that had constrained technological advancement were no longer issues.
Even spaceships were being manufactured, though their current speeds were not fast enough to rapidly journey beyond the star system, which is why the exploration of the cosmos was temporarily put on hold.
Quickly finishing the overview of the Star Sky Battle Beast Mechanism, Jack’s eyes faintly stirred.
Within this Mechanism manual, the cultivation method discussed ‘refinement’ of space, establishing it as a ‘world’ of power storage, which sparked his interest.
The so-called establishment of a world referred to the construction of two or more energy-storing worlds within the external equipment of the Mecha parts, similar to batteries.
Yet, due to being inscribed with spatial storage runes, and combined with talent abilities and materials, this ‘battery’ could store massive amounts of special energy.
Like two worlds possessing the power of Thunder or Flame, they could grant the Star Sky Battle Beast Mechanism terrifying bursts and sustained endurance.
As one strengthened and cultivated step by step to the Ninth Heavens, those two energy worlds could even integrate with domains to form a Star Domain, possessing strong gravitational gravity like that of celestial bodies.
The downside was, wanting everything meant Jack had to scrap what he had already half-conceived in his foundational Secret Book.
And, wanting to base it on Eastern Summer’s True Martial core, integrating parts of genes and some Mecha concepts was a massive challenge, nearly impossible.
This was an idea not unknown to the Federal top level; in fact, the top martial arts experts had studied it.
For example, the inspiration behind True Martial Arts absorbing Essence Blood from Unique Beasts to strengthen the body and even change the physique came from genetic martial arts, and some Transcendent Weapons originated from Mecha battle bodies.
But Jack was the first to be as greedy as this.
If it had been before strengthening his Void Double Pupils, Jack might have thought about it and then given up, as the difficulty was too great, and it wasn’t worth wasting so much time on.
But now… “True martial arts phantom, bloodline quality transformation, external mountings.”
Jack narrowed his eyes slightly, a bold idea emerging in his mind..
