Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 221 -  158: Mecha (6000 words, 2-in-1)_1

The serious expression and solemn words caused a slight pause in the classroom atmosphere.

But soon, Ye Chen brightened up with a smile, "However, such examples are in the minority. I believe that in the future, all of you will become pillars of the Righteous Path, using the power of cultivators correctly for the Scholar's Palace, for all people, and for yourselves."

Having said that, he clapped his hands, and the silver screen behind him displayed a scene: "That's about all for the history lesson. With a bit of time left, as both your teacher and senior, let me tell you about the various colleges at the Wandao School."

"Our Wandao School, named after the Ten Thousand Dao, can be said to encompass everything there is, leaving nothing out!"

"Within the Scholar's Palace, the major colleges can roughly be divided into categories like Martial Path, Taoism, Swordsmanship, Spells, Shennong, Tiangong, Talisman, Array Formation, Alchemy, and Artifact, but a college doesn't just specialize in one area, rather it integrates and penetrates them all, culminating in the Ten Thousand Dao."

"Take the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute where I study as an example. The Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute involves martial arts, Taoist spells, sword flying arts, Talisman skills, Array Formation skills, and even Ghost and God's Skill. It does not focus solely on craftsmanship."

"This is also a path of cultivation. With the three thousand great daos converging and complementing each other, knowledge of one leads to understanding of another."

"Knowledge is power. The more you accumulate, the stronger your foundation will be, and the further you'll go on this path."

The words reached the ears of the audience, sparking realizations.

Chu Nan couldn't help but speak up, "Senior, are you also a student of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute?"

"Indeed."

Ye Chen looked at him with a lighthearted laugh, "Although our Wandao School contains everything imaginable, with many small and large colleges and all kinds of heritages, the hottest and most revered are still the top ten main colleges!"

"The Heavenly Martial Academy focuses on martial arts and pays the most attention to the physical cultivation!"

"The Mingxiao Taoist Institute focuses on Taoist spells, especially proficient in Thunderbolt Taoist Spells!"

"The Shushan Sword Institute focuses on Swordsmanship, particularly the legendary flying swords!"

"The Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute focuses on Artifact Skills, revering Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor above all else!"

"The Shennong Main School focuses on production, the very foundation upon which the Scholar's Palace stands!"

"The Yin Mountain Mansion focuses on Divine Soul, researching the ways of yin and yang, life and death!"

"Besides, there are four more main colleges for Talismans, Alchemy, Array Formation, and Artifacts, each specializing in their craft, each performing its own duties!"

With a smile, Ye Chen looked at the crowd, "Which college would you like me to talk about?"

"Well..."

The crowd looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.

Only Chu Nan openly expressed, "I want to hear about the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute, especially the laws of Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor!"

"Ha ha ha, good boy!"

Ye Chen said with a smile of approval, "Then let's talk about the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute!"

"Although within the Scholar's Palace, all the main colleges stand on equal footing, with none higher than the other, there are some things that have to be acknowledged: the students have an unofficial ranking of the colleges that the Wandao School does not recognize."

"As the foremost, naturally is the Mingxiao Taoist Institute, with its heritage from the Taoist Masters and its reverence for Thunder Series skills, rightfully in the first place!"

"The second one is undoubtedly the Shushan Sword Institute. In the past, a Taoist Master gave his life to righteousness, his Xuanyuan Sword slaying the world's demons. Coupled with the advantages of Sword Cultivators, it claims the second place, as it should."

"As for the third..."

Ye Chen said proudly, "It is our Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute!"

Having finished, he looked at the crowd and asked again, "Do any of you know why the Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute is ranked third, becoming the most popular and beloved college beneath the Mingxiao Taoist Institute and the Shushan Sword Institute in the Wandao School?"

"This..."

"I know!"

While others hesitated, Chu Nan didn't wait to speak, "Because of the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor!"

"Exactly!"

Ye Chen confirmed with a definitive hammer, saying firmly, "Because of the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor!"

"What is Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor?"

Ye Chen pulled out a teaching rod, wielding it as if it were an extension of his arm: "As everyone knows, when cultivators engage in battle, there are generally only two types of tactics."

"That is, Spells and Artifacts."

"There's no need to elaborate on Spells; any kind of Spell, Curse Skill, Martial Path, or Divine Skills, all fall under Spells."

"Artifacts are easy to understand as well – they are external objects. Weapons, Magical Treasures, Talismans, Pills, all are classified as Artifacts."

"The Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor of our Heavenly Craftsmanship Institute revolves around both aspects, pushing the limits of Zhihui to create!"

Having said that, he tapped with his teaching rod, and the image on the silver screen behind him changed to present a simple diagram.

"Gengjin Sword!"

"This is a Magic Artifact."

"A very ordinary, unremarkable, low-tier Magic Artifact."

"For a low-tier Magic Artifact, even if a Qi Cultivator infuses it with Mana to activate it, it can only harm enemies in the mid-stage of Qi Cultivation."

"Very average, but what if..."

Ye Chen tapped with his teaching rod again, and the diagram changed, revealing a massive Sword Artifact hundreds of feet in length and width.

Within the Sword Artifact, there was a division, densely packed like a beehive.

"A thousand Gengjin Swords, ten thousand Gengjin Swords, or even tens of millions of Gengjin Swords. What if they were combined through Talismans and Formations?"

"Are they still just low-tier Magic Artifacts then? Is their power still limited to the early and mid-stage Qi Cultivation levels?"

"When quantity changes lead to a qualitative change, the Luotian Dajiao can gather the power of thousands of people to create a Heavenly Master. So, what kind of terrifying power can tens of millions of Sword Artifacts unleash when assembled into a Formation?"

"The so-called Mech is a combination of Magic Artifacts, creating a whole from millions of lower-tier Magic Artifacts using methods like Talismans and Array Formations."

"This is the Mech!!!"

Ye Chen tapped with his teaching rod and looked at the crowd, "The art of Mech is a creation of our Wandao School based on rituals like the Luotian Dajiao and the Water-Land Dharma Assembly, merging Talisman, Formation, and Artifact Skills. Countless cultivator predecessors have spent thousands of years, pouring their heart and soul, wisdom molded into form. Truly, it is the foremost great creation technique since ancient times!"

The crowd was shocked to hear this.

Chu Nan was especially excited, "Exactly, the art of the Mech is unparalleled in the world, and it can even execute martial arts combat skills and Taoist Divine Skills. It is indeed the number one creation technique of the Wandao School. The predecessor who created this technique was truly a peerless genius of all ages!"
