After Zhou Xingdou understood the secret of the word "soldier," he gently exhaled a breath of stale air:
"Every blade of grass and every tree, everything in the world, enemy soldiers and our own soldiers, are all at my disposal."
All other methods of controlling weapons pale in comparison to the "Secret of the Art of War," for it embodies the true art of wielding weapons.
When one reaches the peak of mastery, as long as one's strength is sufficient, even the enemy's ultimate imperial weapon is not beyond one's control.
This technique would be a fatal blow to any sword cultivator. If combined with his own ultimate sword power, all sword cultivators in the world would tremble at the mere mention of Zhou Xingdou's name.
However, although the "Soldier" secret can control tens of thousands of soldiers, there is a prerequisite that Zhou Xingdou cannot bypass, even if he has mastered the "Soldier" secret with the help of the system.
That is, to master all weapons, one must first unite one army.
Zhou Xingdou must first refine a unique source weapon.
The unique source weapon is the root of cultivating the secret of the weapon, and the prerequisite for refining the unique source weapon is to have a natal source weapon, also known as a natal magic weapon.
Coincidentally, Zhou Xingdou did not have a natal weapon. After all, he believed in the power of all things to empower himself, so why would he need to rely on or bind external objects? Weapons and magic treasures were merely tools on the path of cultivation.
Fortunately, Stephen Chow has almost no principles except when it comes to women. Holding onto a powerful weapon without using it is not in his nature.
Since there is profit to be made from his natal source weapon, Zhou Xingdou doesn't mind forging a weapon of his own.
After all, when the time comes to attain enlightenment in the future, one will need the aid of the artifact used for enlightenment, and one's natal source weapon is ultimately indispensable.
However, one cannot simply find any weapon to refine a natal weapon. It requires special materials, and one must also incorporate one's own essence and a trace of one's own origin to refine the weapon's embryo.
Moreover, the cost of forging a natal weapon is extremely high, beyond what ordinary people can afford, and not something any weapon refiner can do.
At the very least, one must be a Saint King of the Supreme Artifacts to be qualified to help others forge their natal source weapon.
The random Suppressing Prison Sword Peak almost completely eliminated the chance of becoming Zhou Xingdou's natal weapon, and for Zhou Xingdou, the Suppressing Prison Sword Peak was not worthy of becoming his natal weapon.
The Zhou family certainly doesn't lack materials, but their only servant, Tie Qianduan, who knew how to forge weapons, was killed by Zhou Xingdou. Now, finding someone to forge weapons is a real problem.
However, Zhou Xingdou is not in a hurry now. After all, the "Soldier's Secret" is not really a necessity. Now, it's time to digest those twenty Enlightenment Bodhi Seeds.
According to the system, taking the Enlightenment Bodhi Seed Technique will directly improve one's cultivation level, saving a lot of time. Now that I finally have some free time, I naturally want to try its effects.
Without hesitation, Zhou Xingdou immediately took out an Enlightenment Bodhi Seed from the system's inventory and placed it in his palm.
The Bodhi Seed of Enlightenment was pure white. The moment it appeared in Zhou Xingdou's palm, a delicate fragrance filled the quiet room.
Zhou Xingdou took two quick sniffs and immediately felt his mind clear, an effect comparable to using You Ji's top-grade cauldron!
This made Zhou Xingdou impatient, so he threw the Enlightenment Bodhi Seed directly into his mouth. The Enlightenment Bodhi Seed melted in his mouth, and a sweet taste exploded in Zhou Xingdou's mouth.
Zhou Xingdou's expression froze slightly, and a mysterious feeling rose in his heart.
The feeling was amazing; my heart stopped for a moment, it felt like a nebula was exploding in my mind, and time seemed to stand still for a brief instant.
But in that short moment, Zhou Xingdou seemed to have experienced a hundred years, with countless insights flooding into his mind like a surging tide, making it difficult for him to calm down.
His eyes closed slightly at that moment, his expression serene and composed, a radiant aura emanating from him, countless thoughts racing wildly, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment...
When Zhou Xingdou opened his eyes, he realized that a day had passed, but the insights he gained were far greater than before.
Even he couldn't help but sigh:
"A single day of enlightenment is worth a hundred years of arduous cultivation."
The moment he took the Bodhi seed, though the world seemed to stand still, it felt as if a hundred years had passed. Just digesting those insights took up a whole day of his time.
Moreover, this is only the effect of one Enlightenment Bodhi Seed. If all twenty are consumed, one can even advance all the cultivation techniques in one's body to the minor completion level in a short period of time.
However, if I were to take it, I would probably need to go into seclusion for 20 days. Although I have 20 days, it would be better to repair the system first.
After all, system repair takes time, and it's a good time for Bodhi Seed to go into seclusion to learn the Dao.
"System, how long will it take to repair you now?"
[Ding! The repair will take at least two months. During this time, all functions except the system repository and activated templates will be frozen.]
The last repair took ten days, but now it has taken several times longer, requiring two months.
Two months is neither a long nor a short time, because for Zhou Xingdou, who has only been reborn for less than a month and a half, two months is indeed too long.
However, compared to a normal cultivator, two months is not enough for one seclusion.
Zhou Xingdou raised his eyes slightly. He had already gained quite a lot, so there was no need to rush to find the person with the destiny. The system being closed for two months would not have any impact.
Moreover, he still has the entire Martial Soul World to manage in his Myriad Realms Record of Beauties. After handling various matters, he can have a little leisure time in two months.
After some thought, Zhou Xingdou also made his choice:
"Then let's fix it."
But after Zhou Xingdou finished speaking, he didn't expect to hear the system's reply:
[Ding! Host, is there some misunderstanding? You are not currently in a position to repair the system.]
Zhou Xingdou frowned slightly, looking at his remaining 340,000 luck points, and asked in confusion:
"Isn't it 300,000 luck points?"
[Ding! If I remember correctly, the system said that the accumulated luck had reached 300,000, and the rest would be discussed later.]
The system hadn't anticipated that the host's luck points would accumulate so quickly.
Zhou Xingdou recalled that the system had indeed not lied. It had said that it would wait until the accumulated luck value reached 300,000 before it could repair the system again, but it did not say that 300,000 luck value would be enough to repair the system again.
I was shocked by the number 300,000 luck points at the time, so I didn't pay much attention to what the system said. Subconsciously, I thought that collecting 300,000 luck points would be enough. Who would have thought that this would happen?
However, before Zhou Xingdou could ask any questions, the system's voice sounded again:
[Ding! Although what the host has gained is far from enough to repair the system, it can be offset by the Chosen One you suppressed and refined; 300,000 Luck Points are more than enough.]
The familiar recipe, the familiar taste.
Zhou Xingdou smiled helplessly. When he first repaired the system, he gave up killing the fellow villager of the woman with great fortune, plus 30,000 fortune points.
Now, for the second repair, the system has set its sights on Du Buhui's immortal soul. In Zhou Xingdou's view, the necessary condition for the system's second repair is probably the destiny of a chosen one.
