You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts
Chapter 776 - 346: Hundred Gu Scripture
After all, India is very weak. Even if they gain the inheritance, they will not be able to threaten the Dongji Kingdom in the short term.
Weighing the lesser of two evils, the Cyan Dragon Divine General decided to set aside disputes and develop together.
Saint Master White Bull and Saint Master Gold Elephant originally knew this, so they tried everything to take advantage, betting that the Dongji Kingdom wanted to consider the bigger picture.
Unfortunately, there was Ye Qingzhou, who didn't care about the bigger picture, making their plans completely fail.
The Cyan Dragon Divine General glanced at Saint Master White Bull and Saint Master Gold Elephant and said firmly about the plan for this joint exploration: "The Insect Mother Ruins are located on the border between the two countries. To avoid disputes, our Dongji Kingdom is willing to set aside disputes and develop together..."
"In this action, our Dongji Kingdom will send two Martial Saints and fifteen team members to participate. Your side should also send a team of equivalent size..."
"No way, I oppose, fifteen people are too few!"
Saint Master Gold Elephant brought a huge group of disciples and followers, conservatively estimated to exceed a hundred. Furthermore, the martial artists of India generally have inferior strength, all being of high caste, accustomed to a life of comfort, and very few are willing to practice diligently.
Unlike the martial artists from the Dongji Kingdom, who this time are all elites selected through multiple layers by the military, most of whom are from civilian backgrounds and have climbed up step by step through perseverance and talent, with rich combat experience, they are in a different dimension compared to India's "pampered soldiers."
"At least three hundred people!"
Saint Master Gold Elephant opened his mouth wide, obviously playing the card of winning by numbers.
The appearance of the Insect Mother's inheritance and news of the revival of the Great Brahma Heaven were already known internally in India, so they prepared in advance and came with more people.
In contrast, the Dongji Kingdom responded hastily, with only a handful of elite able to arrive in time.
Thus, the Cyan Dragon Divine General shook his head and refused: "That's impossible. In similar explorations of these ruins, it has never been about who has more people. Numbers are meaningless."
After some bargaining, the two sides finally agreed on a result, with each sending thirty-two people into the ruins. During the exploration, no one should attack or interfere with each other.
The inheritance inside must be obtained by each relying on their own abilities.
Before entering, the Cyan Dragon Divine General specifically sent a message to Ye Qingzhou: "In the Insect Mother's inheritance, the most valuable is the inheritance of the Path of Time, Space Path, and Path of Reincarnation. The Mother of Ten Thousand Insects uses swarm consciousness and mental links to control the entire Celestial Worm Race. She is both one and all."
Ye Qingzhou was slightly surprised: "You mean, the Mother of Ten Thousand Insects is the Celestial Worm Race?"
The Cyan Dragon Divine General nodded: "That's right, she is the insect civilization itself, and all the individuals in the Celestial Worm Race, whether the 'worker bees' that have no self-awareness or the 'sub-bodies' that have relatively independent will, are essentially extensions of the Mother of Ten Thousand Insects' will, a part of her."
It is precisely because of this 'one is all' characteristic that the Celestial Worm Race has immense war potential, with their insect soldiers highly unified from top to bottom, with no disputes or internal friction, their execution ability far surpassing humans.
They are fearless of death, and even if they die, they will soon be resurrected by the Insect Mother and return to the battlefield.
Mastering the Path of Reincarnation, the Insect Mother can recycle the corpses and other resources of both enemy and ally without loss, then inject the backed-up consciousness into insect eggs to hatch new insect sub-bodies.
These sub-bodies retain the memories and consciousness of their previous lives, preserving combat experience while the newly hatched bodies are adjusted and strengthened.
In this way, the insect army only grows stronger with each battle, bringing endless nightmares to their opponents.
As long as the Insect Mother is not destroyed, the army of the Celestial Worm Race can never be truly defeated, yet the Insect Mother herself is an Emperor Realm powerhouse, making her extremely difficult to kill.
Possessing such characteristics, during the ancient times when the Kun Race ruled over the Blue Star, the Celestial Worm Race was also an overlord-level power, standing side by side with the Emperor Crab Race.
At the entrance of the ruins, the Cyan Dragon Divine General and Ye Qingzhou led their team straight into the teleportation channel, their figures quickly disappearing into the glow.
Passing through the bizarre tunnel, Ye Qingzhou found himself transported to a strange space-time where, upon opening the Celestial Eye, he saw various incredible phenomena.
"This is a segment of space-time extracted by the Insect Mother in ancient times, constructed into an endless looping space-time corridor with the 'Mobius Ring,' eternally preserving its current state."
The Cyan Dragon Divine General surveyed the surroundings and quickly locked onto one of the divine halls, then told Ye Qingzhou: "Although both of the Cyan Emperor Lineage, Gu Minghui specializes in calculating celestial secrets, whereas I am more adept in the Spiritual Domain. This exploration aims to obtain the Path of Reincarnation inheritance left by the Insect Mother."
Ye Qingzhou nodded: "Then I'll gladly accept the remaining inheritance of the Path of Time and Space Path."
The two silently divided the spoils, clearly not intending to leave any leftovers for the two Martial Saints from India, directly securing the most valuable three inheritances.
On the other side, Saint Master White Bull and Saint Master Gold Elephant were also discussing how to carve up the biggest pieces of the pie.
"Gold Elephant, I want the Insect Mother's Path of Time inheritance to complete my 'Golden Brightness Supreme King Scripture,' what about you?"
"My 'Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill' is already perfected, but I have been unable to take the final step because I lack the crucial steps of Entering Silence and Nirvana, so I need to comprehend the Path of Reincarnation inheritance left by the Insect Mother."
Saint Master White Bull squinted her beautiful eyes, shimmering with a cold glimmer: "Our cultivation techniques originate from the Brahma Emperor, and all of Brahma Emperor's techniques were comprehended from the Insect Mother's inheritance. Hence, our speed in comprehending the paths must be faster than the Dongji people."
"I understand what you mean..."
Saint Master Gold Elephant folded his hands, his face solemn, but the words he spoke were murderous: "We make breakthroughs first, then together seize the Space Path inheritance left by the Insect Mother, leaving the Dongji people empty-handed even after entering a treasure mountain."
"Haha, excellent!"
The two Saints were in perfect sync.
This was a national competition, defying all limits.
Although both sides had made promises before entering the ruins, Saint Master White Bull and Saint Master Gold Elephant clearly did not intend to adhere to that promise.
To them, the victor is never criticized.
Subsequently, the Cyan Dragon Divine General entered the Hall of Reincarnation with Saint Master Gold Elephant.
And Ye Qingzhou and Saint Master White Bull, likewise, chose the Hall of Time.
In India, the Martial Arts World pays great attention to physique and spiritual tempering. Therefore, the higher the cultivation, the more evident the body's anomalies—for instance, Saint Master White Bull was exceptionally tall.
Paired with her voluptuous curves, standing beside her and being looked down upon from above, the oppressive feeling and marvelous visual impact were strong.
Especially since Saint Master White Bull wore very little fabric, from the bottom looking up, the angle...
Even Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but steal another glance.
"Sword Saint Ye, if you're willing to bow at my feet, you can see even more wonderful sights."
Saint Master White Bull attempted to use her charm to confuse Ye Qingzhou's spirit.
Unfortunately, Ye Qingzhou's determination was like iron, his Sword Heart Purity unaffected, instead inspiring a surge of powerful Sword Intent soaring into the sky, disturbing the surrounding space-time and triggering various phenomena, causing Saint Master White Bull's expression to change.
In terms of height and physique, Saint Master White Bull was larger.
But in terms of momentum, she was overshadowed by Ye Qingzhou, facing the fierce Sword Intent coming at her, she had to retreat, cursing with an unpleasant expression: "Truly an insensitive man."
Ye Qingzhou, however, did not pay attention, directly walking into the Divine Hall of Time.
Once inside, Ye Qingzhou sensed the strange change in the flow of time around him, and on the walls inside the Divine Hall of Time, there was a set of peculiar Golden Talisman Secret Texts inscribed.
"Indeed, this is the complete 'Time Worm'."
Looking at the designs on the wall, Ye Qingzhou immediately understood that the Golden Talisman Secret Texts he obtained from Gu Minghui before were incomplete.
It wasn't that Gu Minghui deliberately concealed it; without Ye Qingzhou possessing the Celestial Eye, he wouldn't have been able to observe the complete Golden Talisman Secret Texts either.
