Chapter 456: Chapter 220: Martial Scripture: Star Destruction Chapter
Upon hearing this, Li Chang’an didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
After all, he was the creator of the *Martial Scripture*.
He had thought that after so many years, with the Liyang Empire having grown so powerful, the *Martial Scripture* would have long been obsolete as a low-level Cultivation Method.
But he never expected that the Cultivation Method he pioneered would have actually endured for so long.
’Oh well, at least it wasn’t a complete loss.’
At the very least, it indirectly proved that his general direction—wanting to create a perfect Martial Arts Cultivation Technique—was not wrong.
Besides, using the *Martial Scripture* as a foundation wasn’t entirely without its benefits for Li Chang’an.
He was the original creator of the *Martial Scripture*, and over the years, its constant iterations and revisions had made it increasingly powerful and perfect.
But his time had been limited, and he had never reached the absolute peak.
Therefore, the limits of the *Martial Scripture* were still within the scope of human understanding.
But now, after accessing the database of the Liyang Empire’s starship, Li Chang’an had finally found the Cultivation Techniques and source of true, top-tier Martial Arts Power.
—The Star-Destroying Level!
To destroy stars with one’s fists, all with a human body.
Because the Liyang Empire’s entire Martial Arts Cultivation System was based on the *Martial Scripture*, Li Chang’an found learning and comprehending the Star-Destroying Level Cultivation Techniques to be twice as effective with half the effort. He didn’t encounter a single barrier or difficulty throughout the entire process.
[With Heaven-defying Comprehension, you have gained enlightenment from observing a High Tier Martial Arts Cultivation Method...]
[With Heaven-defying Comprehension, you have achieved a thorough understanding while observing a High Tier Martial Arts Cultivation Method and comprehended the *Martial Scripture - Star Destruction Chapter*!]
After several years, Li Chang’an had reviewed every High Tier Martial Arts Cultivation Method in the Hengyu-class Battleship’s database and quickly comprehended the *Martial Scripture - Star Destruction Chapter*!
If the *Martial Scripture* itself was the foundation of the Liyang Empire, then the birth of Star-Destroying Level Martial Artists was its greatest asset for dominating the universe.
The seed Li Chang’an had sown so long ago had now finally borne sweet fruit!
After all that, Li Chang’an still felt like he wasn’t done yet.
The battleship’s database was a vast treasure trove. In addition to Martial Arts Cultivation Methods, many other treasures were waiting for Li Chang’an to uncover.
[With Heaven-defying Comprehension, you have observed the Spirit Realm Cultivation Method and comprehended how to deploy a Spiritual Qi Domain!]
[With Heaven-defying Comprehension, you have observed the Dark Matter Energy Cultivation Method and comprehended how to unleash bursts of Dark Matter Energy!]
[With Heaven-defying Comprehension, you have observed the Inner and Outer Grotto Heaven Cultivation Method and comprehended the Body Cave Heaven Blessed Land Inner Reflection Method!]
[With Heaven-defying Comprehension...]
Line after line of information flashed across Li Chang’an’s retina like a textual database. He felt as if he had plunged into an ocean of knowledge, gradually sinking and unable to pull himself free.
Each of these Cultivation Methods had its own unique characteristics; otherwise, the Imperial Battleship wouldn’t have collected them. Paired with Li Chang’an’s Heaven-defying Comprehension, he began to absorb them at an incredible rate, like a whale swallowing the sea, making new discoveries at nearly every moment.
...
For the next thousand-plus years, Li Chang’an constantly used the massive database within the Hengyu-class Battleship to supplement his knowledge and broaden his horizons.
At the same time, his own strength began to rise like a tide lifting all boats, thanks to his contact with a higher civilization.
After all, back in his own world, even when he had cultivated the Martial Dao to its absolute peak, he was only barely on par with the Incense and Candle Divine Dao. He had to rely on it as a supplementary cultivation method just to ensure he maintained a slight edge.
But now, after accessing the information in the Liyang Empire’s battleship database, Li Chang’an not only learned the Star-Destroying Level Martial Arts Cultivation Method but also drew parallels that led to a deeper understanding of both the Martial Dao and the Incense and Candle Divine Dao. His cultivation speed and upper limits were rapidly being unlocked.
If time could turn back a thousand years to when he faced the gods of the Celestial Realm, the current Li Chang’an wouldn’t even need to say a word. He could crush them all with just one hand.
After completely digesting the useful information in the database, Li Chang’an let out a long sigh of relief. He began to take stock of his gains and passed down more of his Daoist Techniques to the Mortal Realm.
Right now, the Godslayer Alliance was being blockaded by the Liyang Empire’s battleships due to the Dark Energy incident. Unable to develop rapidly through interstellar travel and colonization as before, the higher-Realm Cultivation Methods passed down by Li Chang’an became their only ray of light and hope during this period of technological stagnation.
Correspondingly, Li Chang’an’s status within the entire God Eater Alliance grew even higher.
Although the term "Guardian God" had gradually faded from history after the Human Race became able to protect itself, nearly every household in the God Eater Alliance had an enshrined statue of Li Chang’an.
Such reverence was something that perhaps not even the Human Emperor had enjoyed during the peak of the Human Race’s power...
A rather bored Su Wanrong was also quite amazed by all this.
She was especially astonished when she saw that Li Chang’an could even rapidly comprehend the *Martial Scripture*. She couldn’t help but exclaim, "Captain, you’re truly a one-in-a-million genius! There are so many Cultivation Techniques in the database. An ordinary person would be proud just to learn one or two, yet you’ve learned so many. And you haven’t just learned them, you’ve completely mastered them! How did you do it? Can you teach me?"
When Su Wanrong first learned that Li Chang’an was not only studying the Martial Dao in the database but was also looking up information on other Cultivation Systems, she had been rather dismissive.
After all, skill lies in mastery, not breadth. The one who tries to learn everything often ends up mastering nothing.
Although the Cultivation Systems in the battleship’s database were numerous and unique, they were far inferior to the 1,322nd edition of the *Martial Scripture* that they cultivated. They weren’t on the same level at all.
So, in her opinion, Li Chang’an only needed to master the *Martial Scripture*. The other Cultivation Methods were, at best, a casual hobby.
But now, having seen with her own eyes how Li Chang’an had learned so many Cultivation Methods in a mere two thousand years and integrated them all into his own Martial Dao, she finally realized he was even more incredible than she had imagined.
Moreover, she wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that the aura fluctuations from the *Martial Scripture* Li Chang’an cultivated were even more powerful than those from the version they practiced.
After observing him repeatedly in secret, Su Wanrong was left questioning her entire reality.
Because of this, she finally decided to take a deeper look into the database for information about Li Chang’an.
This information had been downloaded from the God Eater Alliance’s internal network when the battleship first arrived. Su Wanrong had only given it a cursory glance at the time before handing it over to the AI for processing.
Now, she pulled it up again.
When she saw that Li Chang’an was known on this world as the Ancestor of Martial Arts and had created his own Martial Arts Cultivation Technique, Su Wanrong meticulously compared this local Cultivation Method with the *Martial Scripture* practiced by the Imperial Alliance.
She hadn’t realized it before, but the comparison left Su Wanrong utterly stunned.
The Martial Arts Cultivation Method he had spread on this planet was practically identical to the *Martial Scripture* cultivated by the Liyang Empire!
No, it wasn’t just practically identical.
In certain details, the Martial Arts Cultivation Method he had spread was even more profound than the *Martial Scripture* that had been revised thousands of times by hundreds of millions of Martial Artists in the Liyang Empire!
Upon this discovery, Su Wanrong was completely floored. A chaotic torrent of thoughts erupted in her mind like an exploding planet...
’So, was this a coincidence, or was it inevitable?’
’Is his sudden transformation from a potential enemy into our captain related to this?’
Su Wanrong’s mind raced with wild possibilities, and she felt utterly flustered.
