Chapter 160: I Have a Bold Idea (Part 2)
But now, they were no longer what they used to be; they had lost their humanity, retaining only the "selfless" divinity.
"It seems that I cannot absorb too much spiritual power from others all at once. Although there is no limit to this absorption, my personality and will cannot bear it. Ultimately, I will inevitably be assimilated by the spirit, thus completely losing my self-will."
Ye Qingzhou guarded his mind firmly, channeling the excess power of thought into the Emperor's Sword Longyuan, to nourish the Sword Spirit.
This action caused the Celestial Punishment Sword and the Flame Emperor Sword to buzz restlessly, obviously craving the power of thought. This made Ye Qingzhou's eyes light up, a bold idea forming in his mind: "I myself cannot absorb all of this power of thought, but I can store it in the Divine Weapons and draw from it as needed!"
The Sword of Dao naturally carries the human heart, the power of thought ability.
And where does the human heart come from?
Reputation! Traffic!
"Does this mean I can do martial arts broadcasts? By then, I can attract a large number of fans online, hold immense traffic, and isn't the power of thought ability an ever-flowing tide, as much as needed?"
The more Ye Qingzhou thought about it, the more excited he became. This was clearly a windfall, not to be missed.
At that time, this power of thought can be used to nurture the Sword Spirits of Longyuan, the Celestial Punishment, and the Flame Emperor, while also enhancing the Sword Intent of his Dragon Transformation Sword. It's called killing two birds with one stone, achieving multiple benefits.
When the party ended, everyone went home together, and Xu Yuebing walked out of the school gate with Ye Qingzhou, asking him, "What are you thinking about? You haven't spoken for ages."
"I'm thinking about starting a martial arts broadcast."
"???"
Xu Yuebing had a puzzled look on her face: "Usually, martial artists who take this route do so because they're not good at traditional martial arts and plan to go the idol route. Why are you joining in on the fun?"
"Power of thought ability."
Ye Qingzhou didn't hide it from Xu Yuebing. After all, he wasn't afraid of others knowing.
Xu Yuebing's eyes widened with surprise: "Are you planning to ascend to divinity? Such matters need to be reported to the authorities!"
Throughout the history of the Dongji Kingdom, the matter of divinity has always been of significant importance. Especially with the existence of the power of thought ability, faith has become an impetuous force not to be taken lightly.
Therefore, the officials of Dongji Kingdom have always taken stringent measures against the beliefs in various "evil gods" to eradicate hidden threats.
So, while many martial artists have taken advantage of the internet to boost their power of thought ability and cultivate spiritual martial techniques, no one has dared to use this method to actually ascend to divinity.
Ye Qingzhou shook his head: "I'm not dead, so why ascend to divinity? I just want to take advantage of internet broadcasting to practice a new divine technique."
In today's Dongji Kingdom, to ascend to divinity, one must make a significant contribution to the country and the people, gain widespread recognition across society, and then be deified after death, to "live" in the manner of a divine spirit.
It's practically impossible for a living person to ascend to divinity.
And Ye Qingzhou didn't need to, because after the so-called "divine spirit" ascension, it wasn't a true god at all. Compared to the powerful mythical beings within the Grotto Heaven, they were just small fry.
Even worse, these "fake divine spirits" are easily influenced by the power of thought ability, gradually losing themselves, turning into something akin to artificial intelligence.
At the cost of losing one's self-will, such "ascension to divinity" didn't entice Ye Qingzhou at all.
Upon learning of Ye Qingzhou's intentions, Xu Yuebing agreed: "I'll tell my sister and see if she can help you apply for a slot."
"Thanks."
"Hmph, is that all the gratitude you're showing? How insincere!"
"What do you want me to do to thank you?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I do."
Xu Yuebing gave a sly smile, turned lightly on her feet, and got into Uncle Yuan's car, waving goodbye to Ye Qingzhou.
The next day, at lunchtime.
Ye Qingzhou received a call from Xu Yunxi: "I heard from Bingbing that you're planning to start a broadcast?"
"Yes, I've created a heart method through which I plan to absorb some power of thought ability to truly cultivate the Sword Intent of the Dragon Transformation Sword."
At last night's party, Ye Qingzhou only managed to form the embryonic form of a dragon with his own Sword Intent, but to grow this Sword Intent stronger, relying solely on Ye Qingzhou's power of thought ability was far from enough.
"Are you really not aiming to ascend to divinity?"
"Rest assured, the old martial arts system of divinity has too many hidden dangers, and it doesn't interest me at all. With my aptitude, I'd rather pursue the path of body ascension to Martial Saint."
Ye Qingzhou smiled relaxedly.
Xu Yunxi, upon hearing this, finally felt at ease and said, "I was just worried you might be taking a shortcut impulsively."
The Dongji Kingdom has a long history. Prior to the first emergence of the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm two hundred years ago, the Blue Star civilization had already experienced many ebbs and flows of primordial Qi.
Thus, martial artists existed in ancient times too, though they often referred to themselves as "gods," "immortals," "demons," or "monsters."
Two hundred years ago, the Blue Star World happened to be at its lowest point of primordial Qi, which is why many ancient powerhouses were considered mythical stories imagined by ancient people.
It wasn't until the Grotto Heaven emerged two hundred years ago that mythology became a reality and certain ancient historical records gained worldwide attention.
Consequently, the vigorous archaeological actions of "tracing back to the roots" began.
Among them, the Dongji Kingdom, with its long history and uninterrupted civilization, benefited the most and quickly rose by relying on its profound martial arts foundation, acquiring numerous cultivation techniques in various archaeological discoveries and finding ways to open the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm.
