Chapter Twenty-Three: All Members of the Group Have a Bright Future

Xiao Yan was truly feeling uneasy. Compared to everyone else in the group, he really had nothing of value to offer. He lacked powerful treasures, lacked peerless cultivation techniques, and had nothing but an old man residing in his ring. He certainly couldn't just upload Yao Lao to the group, could he? The "Flame Mantra" could barely be considered a top-tier technique capable of supporting him all the way to the Sovereign realm, but that was the future version of it. Currently, the Flame Mantra was just a pathetic Yellow-tier trash; it was so coarse that it would be painful to use even for wiping one’s backside. He really had nothing to repay his brothers in the group.

However, he wasn't a stubborn person; he wouldn't refuse the group's benefits just because he couldn't provide an equivalent exchange. That wouldn't be noble integrity; it would just be stupid.

[Xiao Yan: "Brothers, I truly have nothing worth showing off here, so I can only shamelessly accept your kindness. But know that you brothers are in my heart. If you ever run into trouble in the future, just give me a shout. If I, Xiao Yan, don't help you hold the line, then I'm a son of a bitch!"]

After sending his message, Xiao Yan shamelessly begged Yao Lao for a few battle skills and uploaded them to the group all at once. It was a case of a small gift carrying deep affection!

...

Seeing Xiao Yan’s message, Shi Jian couldn't help but chuckle. The pressure had turned this decent fellow, Xiao Yan, into Lin Dong. He had even started using foul language. He replied in the chat group.

[Shi Jian: "We’re all brothers here, why be so polite!"]

[Fang Han: "Exactly. In the vastness of the myriad worlds, it is fate that we met in this chat group. Helping each other is only natural, no need for formalities!"]

[Fang Han: "I believe that if you obtain some divine technique or secret method, you certainly wouldn't be stingy about sharing it with us either!"]

The atmosphere in the group was harmonious. Yang Qi, watching the conversation, hesitated for a moment before uploading a technique.

[Yang Qi uploaded "God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force" to the chat group.]

A notification flashed, and Yang Qi spoke in the group.

[Yang Qi: "The God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force is a qigong method created by the Supreme Sovereign. It posits that the human body is composed of infinite particles. If one can cultivate each particle into the strength of a God Elephant, tearing the heavens and shattering the earth, or roaring down the stars, would be effortless. The grade of this technique should be no less than the 'Primitive Truth.' Everyone can see if you are able to cultivate it!"]

[Shi Jian: "You're being modest, Yang Qi. The God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force is a peerless divine technique that is a level higher than the 'Primitive Truth.' It is terrifyingly powerful. By bringing out a technique of this caliber, we are the ones getting the better end of the deal!"]

Shi Jian responded immediately. Yang Qi bringing out the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force was indeed a surprise, but given Yang Qi's personality, it made sense. Since he had brought it out, Shi Jian naturally had to ensure the others in the group understood its value, so they would know just how great Yang Qi's contribution was. Yang Qi might have just felt the mood was right and shared the technique without necessarily needing everyone to be grateful, but those who received the benefit would certainly remember the favor.

...

The members of the group were shocked after seeing Shi Jian's words. They already considered the "Primitive Truth" to be a shocking, supreme divine technique. To think this God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force was even more formidable? Everyone hurriedly downloaded the technique. The group fell into silence once again.

After a long while, someone finally spoke.

[Lin Dong: "This technique is truly fucking incredible! After practicing it, my physical strength has surged, though it seems to follow the path of a body cultivator!"]

[Lin Dong: "Awakening the God Elephant embryo, imbued with the power of a God Elephant—a single finger could crush a mountain!"]

Lin Dong was the first to speak, feeling immensely excited. He felt that the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, which directly increased strength, was exactly to his taste. Power breaks all laws. Once strength reaches a certain level, one can crush the heavens and earth with a single finger. There was no need for all those flashy martial arts. If you don't like someone, you just shut up and fight.

[Fang Han: "Power breaks all laws. The God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force is indeed extraordinary!"]

[Xiao Yan: "The feeling of having such a powerful body is indeed great, but compared to being a warrior, I still prefer to be a mage!"]

As everyone chatted, Shi Jian downloaded the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force once more. Various insights flooded his mind. He had already copied the technique from Yang Qi through his "Myriad Heavens Library" before, but he was curious about the difference between the version copied by his library and the one downloaded from the chat group.

After the insights appeared in his mind, Shi Jian immediately sensed the difference. The version downloaded from the chat group could only awaken the power of the God Elephant; it was a pure method of physical cultivation. However, the version he had copied into his Myriad Heavens Library could account for both his internal cultivation base and the God Elephant's power. The difference was quite significant.

The chat group version was universal—it was a "one-size-fits-all" model. But the version in his Myriad Heavens Library had been tailored specifically for him; it was perfectly molded to his own dimensions. If he were to practice the former, he would encounter some friction and need time to find the rhythm. But with the latter, he could instantly find the right position and enter a state of cultivation.

This relieved Shi Jian somewhat. If the chat group version were identical to his own, then his "cheat" would have been for nothing! Fortunately, there were differences. The comments from the others confirmed his thoughts: everyone else could only increase their physical strength through this technique. If they wanted to cultivate Qi or magic, they would have to rely on other techniques.

...

After Yang Qi provided the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, the atmosphere in the group became even more heated. Everyone was incredibly excited. They had first obtained the "Primitive Truth," the best supportive cultivation method, and now the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force, a supreme method of power. Their future potential had been raised significantly.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Jian offered a reminder to the group.

[Shi Jian: "Based on my years of reading novels, the cultivation systems across the myriad worlds are complex, but fundamentally, they all boil down to improving one's Essence, Qi, and Spirit."]

[Shi Jian: "Although the group allows us to share top-tier techniques from various worlds, one should not be greedy. It is best to choose one top-tier technique for each of the three domains—Essence, Qi, and Spirit—and use others only as references!"]

Everyone agreed that Shi Jian's advice made sense.

[Xiao Yan: "I will use the 'Flame Mantra' to cultivate Dou Qi, the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force to cultivate the body, and the 'Primitive Truth' to comprehend the Great Dao. This is my path forward!"]

There are advantages to being poor; Xiao Yan's world didn't have the same scale or the same high-level cultivation systems as the others, so he could simply adopt techniques from other worlds. However, he still had to continue with the "Flame Mantra" for his Dou Qi. Although it was currently weak, its potential was immense; it only needed to swallow flames to evolve. With the chat group, he could travel to other worlds to hunt for "Heavenly Flames." He believed that one day, his "Flame Mantra" would truly shine.

[Fang Han: "I'm about the same. I'll use the 'Azure Emperor Wood Sovereign Technique' to cultivate magic power, and supplement it with the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force and the 'Primitive Truth'."]

Fang Han and Lin Dong also quickly determined their paths. They would all practice the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force and the "Primitive Truth," combined with one core technique from their own worlds. Shi Jian and Yang Qi didn't have to worry about that, as their version of the God Elephant Suppressing Prison Force was already perfectly tailored to them.

"Everyone in the group has a bright future!" Shi Jian remarked to himself. After sighing, he felt as if he had forgotten something. What had he missed? Shi Jian wondered.
