'So that's how it works!'
'My Level 2 [Body Control] can already inject my will into Yu Hongwu's cells!'
'After injecting my will, the cells' activity increases exponentially. They completely break free from the body's suppression and turn into cancer cells.'
'That's why they can divide infinitely under my command, reconnecting the severed nerve fibers!'
'And when I retract my ability and withdraw my injected will, the cells' vitality returns to normal, and they are assimilated by the body again!'
Chen Qi summarized and researched as he administered the treatment.
His brain worked at high speed, flashes of Spiritual Light illuminating his thoughts, until he finally glimpsed the truth of his ability.
Half an hour later, Chen Qi wiped the sweat from his face and finished the treatment.
Yu Hongwu looked even weaker, but a smile spread across his face.
Something that would have been utterly impossible before.
"Unbelievable... simply divine!"
"I've actually regained sensation in my body. Is this the kind of power a player can possess?"
Yu Hongwu raised his trembling hands. They were still a bit clumsy, but that was only temporary.
With a period of rest, he would make a full recovery.
"It's all thanks to Hall Master Yu's powerful constitution. Otherwise, achieving such immediate results wouldn't have been easy."
Chen Qi wasn't being modest. This was, after all, his first time conducting this experiment, and he had made dozens of mistakes along the way.
If an ordinary person had been subjected to his reckless meddling, they would have ended up paralyzed on one side, even if they'd temporarily recovered.
Yu Hongwu was certainly durable!
However, while treating Yu Hongwu, Chen Qi discovered something strange.
Chen Qi had originally thought Yu Hongwu's nerve damage was due to experiments by the Black Blood Federation.
But upon deeper contact, especially after injecting his will into the damaged cells, Chen Qi discovered the "truth."
The true culprit behind the damage to Yu Hongwu's nervous system was actually [Martial Dao Will].
Chen Qi would never mistake the kind of [Special Sensing] that lingered in the severed nerve fibers.
But that Martial Dao will didn't seem to come from an external source; it originated from Yu Hongwu himself.
'Did this guy get Obsessed during his Cultivation and paralyze himself?'
Although he was curious, Chen Qi controlled himself and didn't ask any more questions.
"Thank you, Mr. Jomoya. Since you've healed me, this copy of *Heaven-Reaching Palace* is yours!"
"*Heaven-Reaching Palace* is a top secret of our Red Falcon Sect, so I hope you won't share it with outsiders!"
After a few attempts, Yu Hongwu was finally able to get up and walk around.
He took a handwritten manual from Mu Wanqing's hands and passed it to Chen Qi.
Not caring whether the two of them minded, Chen Qi opened it and began to look through it directly.
On the first page of the manual was a Red Falcon, wings spread as if to shake the heavens.
The Red Falcon was drawn with lifelike detail, and from the brushwork, Chen Qi could tell the artist was a woman.
Considering how fresh the ink was, the artist must have been Mu Wanqing.
This manual was probably rushed to completion after Chen Qi's last visit.
Hundreds of nodes were marked on the Red Falcon. Other than that, there was nothing special.
He turned to the second page, which recorded a Secret Technique called [Concentrated Spiritual Sensing].
The third page explained the Cultivation process for the Secret Technique: using the method of [Concentrated Spiritual Sensing] to "dot" hundreds of nodes on the human body, each corresponding to a point on the Red Falcon.
Afterward, by continuously visualizing the [Red Falcon], one could forge a Martial Dao will.
The next dozen or so pages contained Yu Hongwu's own insights on his Cultivation.
"Mr. Jomoya, I swear on the honor of the Red Falcon Sect, this is the absolutely authentic *Heaven-Reaching Palace*!"
"This old man does not go back on his word. In the future, the Red Falcon Sect's development will rely heavily on the Chris Group."
Yu Hongwu pointed to the sky as if making an oath. Chen Qi nodded, seemingly believing his words.
In truth, after witnessing the strangeness of the "Blood-colored Chip," Chen Qi had already given up the idea of learning the Secret Technique.
He only wanted to study it; he wouldn't be so foolish as to practice it blindly.
As for Yu Hongwu's words, he'd take them with a grain of salt.
'If he really wanted to teach me the entire Secret Technique, wouldn't it be better to just give me the original copy?'
'This handwritten manual is definitely incomplete. He's holding something back.'
'But it doesn't matter. The experiment I ran on the old geezer today has already made it worth my while.'
'What's more, I've personally come into contact with the remnants of Yu Hongwu's Martial Dao will at a cellular level.'
'Does he really think I won't be able to learn it just because he held back?'
'Heh, wishful thinking!'
...
The transaction was complete, and both parties were delighted. Chen Qi casually asked a few questions about Cultivation and then left, satisfied.
"Master, that guy won't discover the tricks we pulled, will he?"
"I copied that Red Falcon exactly, but it's still missing the spiritual charm!"
"Didn't you say that without the spiritual charm to guide it, it's impossible to master the Secret Technique?"
Mu Wanqing was a little worried. The other party was no pushover. What if he found out he could never master it and came back to cause trouble?
"Heh heh, there's nothing wrong with the Cultivation method we gave him."
"If he can't master it, that's his own problem."
"Besides, from my perspective, he doesn't seem to care about the Martial Dao at all. He might not even practice it."
"And so what if he comes back looking for trouble? Just give me a little more time, and I'll be able to become a Grandmaster!"
"I have already glimpsed the path of Martial Arts to Divinity!"
At this moment, Yu Hongwu's eyes were filled with desire and ambition. He didn't look like a decrepit old man at all, but rather a man in his prime, full of aspirations.
"Master, you've really found the path to Divine Communication?"
"That's wonderful!"
Mu Wanqing's face was filled with excitement. The Red Falcon Sect was in a miserable state right now. If her master could become a Grandmaster, they wouldn't have to wander anymore.
Although she didn't know what enemy her master was hiding from, she had faith in the power of a Grandmaster.
"Haha, that's right, no more hiding!"
"If they dare to come looking for me, I'll settle things once and for all!"
Killing intent flashed in Yu Hongwu's eyes. After the Rebound from his Martial Dao will, he had already fallen into despair.
But since Heaven had granted him another chance, he certainly wouldn't let it go to waste.
He was determined to get the *Original Martial Canon*!
...
After sending off all the congratulatory disciples, Yu Hongwu carefully took out an inkstone.
As he applied pressure with his fingertips, the base of the inkstone detached, transforming into a stone page.
If Mu Wanqing had seen this, she would have been utterly shocked.
Because this was the very inkstone she had used to copy *Heaven-Reaching Palace*.
On the stone page, there were no words, no patterns, only clusters of chaotic lines.
Yu Hongwu traced them with his hand repeatedly but could not make any sense of them.
"Sigh!"
After a long while, he let out a long sigh and put the page away.
This was a page from the *Original Martial Canon*. It was laughable that after going through countless hardships, life and death struggles, he had been lucky enough to obtain it, only to find he couldn't understand it at all.
He figured that the group of people he had allied with before were probably just as clueless.
His group had colluded with the Black Blood Federation to destroy the [Divine Tao Palace]. Those sanctimonious hypocrites had monopolized the *Original Martial Canon*, forbidding other Martial Arts Sects from viewing it. They deserved to be wiped out.
After the fall of the [Divine Tao Palace], the *Original Martial Canon* fell into the hands of the Black Blood Federation.
Although the Black Blood Federation wasn't selfish with it, the condition for viewing it was to cooperate with their various experiments.
It was not a pleasant experience. They had contributed greatly to the Black Blood Federation's ability to develop the chip so quickly.
Fortunately, the Black Blood Federation overreached, getting caught up in the conflicts of major powers, which allowed them to escape their cage and steal the *Original Martial Canon* in the process.
The *Original Martial Canon* was split into eighteen parts, and Yu Hongwu had only managed to obtain one page.
Regrettably, he became obsessed with it, tried to comprehend it by force, and ended up suffering a Rebound from his Martial Dao will, becoming a stray dog with nowhere to go.
Fortunately, good fortune is hidden in misfortune. By breaking through and starting anew, he had instead glimpsed the path to becoming a Grandmaster.
He just hoped that everything would go smoothly from now on, allowing him to become a Grandmaster in peace.
This Lanyu Kingdom was stable and peaceful, but since it was known as the "Land of Demons," it was best to leave as soon as possible.
Having recovered his strength, Yu Hongwu's thoughts were completely different from before.
After achieving Martial Arts to Divinity, he too could step into the Inner World.
