Chapter 4, The Imperial Classic
A purple light cluster emerged in the air and swiftly transformed into a stream of light that surged into Bai Yu's forehead. Bai Yu only felt a surge in his head, and then inexplicably remembered a piece of text, realizing it was the content of the Imperial Scripture. The Imperial Scripture is quite extraordinary; that purple light cluster was like a seed, implanted into Bai Yu's soul. As Bai Yu's cultivation level increases, the subsequent content of the Imperial Scripture will continuously reveal itself. Currently, Bai Yu can only view the content of the first volume.

After getting up, I couldn't help but fondle the precious bow. Since I secretly summoned Wang Bodang outside, I must treat him as my trump card. When the system summons, it automatically imparts knowledge about this world to the summoned character, and the richness of the imparted content depends on the host, which is the information that Bai Yu can access in this world.
Moreover, Wang Bodang also has his own considerations in this matter. If he were to be endowed with the spirit of a general by the monarch, he would be able to gain the monarch's trust even more in the future. As the saying goes, when the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked. This is all due to the minister's achievements overshadowing the ruler, which causes the ruler to feel apprehensive. However, often the minister himself does not harbor such intentions, but is rather compelled by the prevailing circumstances
The opening of the "Imperial Scriptures" clearly states that the cultivation speed is only three times that of the basic mental method, but one can implant a general's soul into their subordinates, thereby enhancing their own cultivation speed based on the talents of their subordinates. Furthermore, after implanting the general's soul, there are various wonderful benefits for both parties.
Upon acceptance, three items appeared before me: a radiant orb of purple mist swirling with smoke, a pitch-black and menacing iron bow, and a translucent, snow-white inner armor.
While practicing his cultivation techniques in the evening, Bai Yu was pleasantly surprised; tonight, his cultivation speed was more than twice as fast as usual. However, since he had not yet broken through to the Ordinary Realm, he was unable to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The energy consumed during his cultivation came solely from the blood food he had eaten daily, so he stopped after a while of practice
Congratulations to the host for completing the first summoning, a grand blueprint gift pack will be issued, do you accept? Is this the legendary beginner's gift pack? Bai Yu's eyes lit up, and he chose to accept without hesitation
The ceremony was completed effortlessly, without any anomalies, and there were no marks left on Wang Bodang. Only the two of them understood in their hearts that the ceremony was a success. It sounds simple, but the risks involved are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. If the person being subjected to the ritual harbors even the slightest ill intent, the ceremony would be immediately interrupted, and the backlash from the failed ritual would severely damage Bai Yu's soul, resulting in serious illness or, in the worst case, turning him into an idiot
Therefore, although there are quite a few individuals who can reach the Transcendence Realm within the Bai family, outside of it, being at the Transcendence Realm is considered a formidable skill. None of the small thugs who ambushed Bai Yu's previous incarnation managed to break through to the Transcendence Realm.
The classification of martial artists is divided into five major levels: Tongmai, Pofan, Tiangang, Shencang, and Lingshen. In the Yan Kingdom, martial artists at the Lingshen level represent the highest echelon of strength, positioned at the pinnacle of the Yan Kingdom's hierarchy
Let Wang Bodang stand guard outside the alley, while Bai Yu closes his eyes and begins to organize the contents of the Imperial Scripture. The information he receives fills him with joy, and he marvels at the wonders of this technique.
He hurriedly called Wang Bodang to rise, and Bai Yu curiously asked: "I wonder what level of cultivation Bodang has reached now?"
Therefore, what truly affects the speed of cultivation is each individual's innate talent and aptitude, rather than the cultivation methods themselves. This is also the reason why this world places great emphasis on bloodline inheritance and family lineage. The offspring of geniuses have a higher probability of being born as geniuses themselves
This has led to the frequent emergence of masters among the common people, as cultivation places greater emphasis on innate talent rather than on techniques. In a certain sense, this has narrowed the gap between noble families and commoners. In order to compensate for this disparity, noble families have also strengthened their control over and acquisition of resources, which is the root cause of the conflict between noble families and commoners
Moreover, cultivating the "Imperial Scripture" will subtly transform his physique, gradually aligning it with the imperial body. The imperial body is naturally different from the mortal body in various ways, the most notable being its resilience to blows and its enhanced recovery ability
Taking a deep breath, Bai Yu placed his right hand on Wang Bodang's forehead. It shouldn't have been this complicated, but given Bai Yu's current level of cultivation, this was the only way he could proceed
The host acquires 1 copy of the "Imperial Scripture", 1 Iron Soaring Feather Bow, and 1 Snow Cicada Inner Armor
Before leaving, Bai Yu issued instructions to Wang Bo, stating that the primary task at present is to cultivate and enhance his own skills. He also advised him to pay attention to a few delinquents, and it would be best if he could ascertain the places they frequently visit.
The journey back to Qin's old home was somewhat awkward for him, as the streets and alleys were densely packed, and he indeed took quite a large detour before returning. Upon arriving in front of Qin's house, Bai Yu awkwardly circled his head and remarked, "These houses look too similar; can't these people show a bit of creativity and have some distinctive features!"
Throughout the various historical dynasties, the founding emperors are generally those who possess great fortune and a strong destiny, particularly those who are exceptionally capable of preserving their own lives
It is said that the name of the cultivation method practiced by the royal family of the Yan State is called the Yan Wang Jing, a name that is quite imposing. However, an elder from the clan once mentioned that the speed of cultivation with this method is only about thirty percent faster than their ancestral internal skill of the Bai family.
Move your body a bit, and the cracking sounds of the bones burst forth like popping beans.
At present, Wang Bodang had broken through the ordinary realm, which also allowed Bai Yu to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, as he no longer had to worry about those few small rascals. However, to avoid prolonged troubles, a glimmer of cold light flashed in Bai Yu's eyes, indicating that certain matters needed to be resolved first
The levels of sorcerers are divided into five major realms: Kai Dan, Qi Hai, Jin Dan, Tong Ming, and Hua Tian, corresponding to the five major realms of martial artists. As for the higher levels of realms, there has been no mention of them; it is only vaguely known that there are higher tiers above the spiritual realm.
If one were to implant the monarch's spirit within oneself, it would also lead to greater trust and reliance from the monarch
Regardless of his past or present, Bai Yu had no experience in archery, so the Tiexiang Feiyu Bow was entrusted to Wang Bodang without hesitation. For a master archer to receive a precious bow is undoubtedly the greatest reward for him. Upon receiving the Tiexiang Feiyu Bow, Wang Bodang knelt down in gratitude, overwhelmed with excitement
It is merely through the process of transmission, having undergone generations of improvements by numerous families, that the cultivation speed of the modified techniques from different families has been relatively enhanced by several times compared to the original methods available in the market. Even the internal cultivation techniques of the most prestigious families, when compared to the basic techniques on the market, only offer an increase of a little over double in cultivation speed. Of course, this top-tier family refers to the royal family of the Yan Kingdom
The primary function of the "Imperial Scripture" is as its name suggests; the term "Emperor" refers to the one who harmonizes with heaven and earth. It signifies dominion and is also referred to as the Emperor. This is a cultivation method that does not include superfluous introductions; it begins directly with the content of the method and its main effects.
Wang Bodang clasped his hands and said with embarrassment: "I have only just managed to open the hundred meridians within my body and barely advanced into the Broken Ordinary realm."
With great admiration, I cast a glance at Wang Bodang, what a true hero he is
But... why does it feel so much like a sandbag? Bai Yu has a strange feeling! However, after some contemplation, Bai Yu recalled that all founding emperors in the history of Huaxia share a common characteristic, which is a strong ability to preserve their lives
He would absolutely never admit that he is somewhat directionally challenged
The cultivation method that Bai Yu practiced in the past was the ancestral cultivation technique of the Bai family, which did not have any special name and was simply referred to as the Bai family's ancestral internal skill. The reason for this is that in this world, there are no so-called divine skill manuals, and the cultivation methods of martial artists are widely disseminated. The cultivation methods practiced by everyone are largely similar, with little difference. Of course, there may be more superior techniques in more powerful and higher-level forces, but at least the information that was understood during his time in the Bai family indicated that there was not much difference in the cultivation methods of martial artists.
Bai Yu hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided not to pass on the Bai family's ancestral internal martial arts to Wang Bodang. Although he no longer needed it himself, Bai Yu was still unwilling to casually owe anyone a favor. Perhaps the Bai family would never find out, but he could not get past this mental barrier. However, the widely circulated public version of internal martial arts techniques was not a secret; many people were aware of it, but they simply lacked the resources to practice it.
The remaining two items should be the Iron Soaring Feather Bow and the Snow Cicada Inner Armor. The inner armor can be worn close to the body and is not easily discovered. As for the Iron Soaring Feather Bow, Bai Yu's expression was somewhat strange; could it be that this system knows he will draw a sharpshooter?
The Broken Ordinary Realm is a level that follows the Meridian Realm. In the Bai family, where Bai Yu previously resided, there were quite a few individuals who could reach the Broken Ordinary Realm. However, this was because the Bai family was the local overlord of Jinyun County, controlling nearly half of the various resources in the entire county. Even the county magistrate of Jinyun County had to show deference to the Bai family in many respects
However, talent is something that is difficult to control. Compared to noble families, the vast number of commoners makes geniuses not rare.
As for the current state of the Yan Kingdom, it is divided into two major cultivation systems: warriors and sorcerers
He called Wang Bodang over and informed him about the matter of the seed, then inquired about his opinion. Wang Bodang readily agreed to being implanted with the seed, showing no signs of reluctance. In his view, after being implanted with the soul seed, it could also bring him some benefits.
Because the cultivation level of the Broken Ordinary Realm allows one to easily sustain oneself anywhere, Bai Yu is not concerned about whether Wang Bo Dang can survive on his own.
Of course, if there is any information that one does not wish the summoned hero to know, it can also be communicated to the system; a mere thought is sufficient to resolve it. In any case, Bai Yu is quite satisfied with this aspect, as it at least avoids the need to slowly inform each summoned hero of the precautions every time one is summoned, allowing the heroes to gradually adapt to this world.
Therefore, Bai Yu imparted the public version of the internal martial arts techniques he knew to Wang Bodang
