Chapter 74 Promotion Ceremony
It wasn't until the moon was high in the sky that Lin Mo finally emerged completely from the ocean of knowledge.
After this detailed study, he gained a deeper understanding of card upgrades.
If before I only had a superficial understanding, now I have a complete grasp of it.
This matter is actually simple in some ways, but difficult in others.
Its essence is the continuous accumulation of divinity.
The Kyushu academic community has not provided a specific definition regarding what divinity actually is.
However, Lin Mo could roughly guess that it was essentially the right to use the rules granted by the laws of Heaven.
The divinity of the cards is not bestowed by the card maker, but rather applied for by the card maker from the Heavenly Dao through their own understanding.
As we all know, when cards are created, they undergo a process of divine review.
Whether it's fiction or a paraphrase of classical allusions
As long as it passes the Heavenly Dao's review, the Card Spirit will condense into a physical form, instantly entering the extraordinary realm and possessing all sorts of mysterious and unpredictable abilities.
Ultimately, it was simply that after Heaven approved the card, it casually stamped it with its seal.
This seal is the "mark of authority" left by the Heavenly Dao, which is divinity.
For example, when creating a summoning card, one is actually applying to the Heavenly Path for a small portion of the right to use the "Summoning Rules".
Because of limited permissions, users can only summon the creatures described in the card.
Similarly, the same applies to skill cards.
You created a skill card called "Fireball," but you only applied to the Heavenly Dao to appropriate some of the fire rules.
Aside from Fireball, other spells like Fire Wall or Fire Tornado are also unusable.
Based on the strength of the rules bestowed by Heaven, cards are classified into qualities such as white, green, blue, purple, etc.
Improving the quality of cards means further strengthening the rules bestowed by Heaven.
Thus, the ritual came into being.
In essence, it's the same principle as the tribulations that cultivators undergo in the fantasy novels Lin Mo read in his previous life.
Of course, not every advancement requires a corresponding promotion ceremony.
Cards of blue quality or lower can be upgraded simply by replacing them with materials of a higher quality.
Only those items of blue quality or higher require a ritual similar to "transcending tribulation".
Having grasped the principles behind card upgrades, Lin Mo was eager to try it out, not caring that it was already midnight.
Immediately, his spiritual energy dissipated, carrying his consciousness to the Sea of Mind space.
……
Within the space of the mind.
Lin Mo and Lu Wu sat facing each other.
This deity from Kunlun Mountain is robust, tall, and imposing.
Even when sitting on the ground, he is still over two meters tall.
"Come on, let me see what this so-called promotion ceremony is all about!"
Lin Mo slowly exhaled, and with a thought,
His spiritual energy then gushed out and surged into Lu Wu's body.
This was the first time he had tried to merge his spiritual power with the card spirit; in the past, he had simply poured it directly and crudely into the card.
I never imagined such a thing could be done.
There were certain reasons why Lin Mo chose Lu Wu as the first experimental subject.
Of the six cards he currently possesses, only Lu Wu and the Wraith Boat are blue cards; the rest are purple cards.
Leaving aside purple cards for now, improving their quality is extremely difficult.
The task of replacing the materials alone was enough to give him a headache.
As for the Wraith Boat, it is ultimately just a vehicle card.
The thought of being able to connect with a ship made Lin Mo feel inexplicably awkward.
So after much deliberation, Lin Mo finally chose Lu Wu.
Although it's not human, it's still a living being, at least.
It still retains some human characteristics.
Compared to the non-human item, the Wraith Boat, it should be easier.
With this thought in mind, Lin Mo's spiritual energy continuously flowed into Lu Wu's body.
Time passed slowly, and I don't know how much time had gone by...
Lin Mo suddenly realized that everything before him was slowly changing, like ripples on water.
The next moment, he found himself in a mysterious, desolate world.
Directly in front of him stood a majestic sacred mountain, bathed in divine light, with rays of light shining behind it.
Its mountain range extends upwards in a three-tiered, stepped shape.
Below are hills, surrounded by four divine rivers that flow into the distance.
In the middle is a towering city wall. On the outer side of the city wall, there are nine gates on each side. Under each gate is a strange mythical beast with a large body like a tiger, nine heads, and human faces.
Inside the city walls was the Hanging Garden, with nine wells on each side, each with a jade railing.
Lu Wu sat upright in the middle, surrounded by all sorts of strange beasts.
There is the earthworm, a four-horned man-eating beast that looks like a sheep; and the Qinyuan, a poisonous bird as large as a mandarin duck, resembling a bee, whose stings kill birds and beasts.
There was a phoenix-like bird with a snake on its head, a snake under its feet, and a red snake coiled around its chest...
Above it was covered with a tall grain plant, five fathoms long and five circumferences in circumference.
In addition, there is a magnificent, resplendent palace.
It can be described as a jade palace and a golden platform, shining with boundless brilliance.
"Kunlun Hill!"
Looking at everything before him, Lin Mo immediately understood that this place was the ancient first sacred mountain known as the "Capital Below the Emperor"—Kunlun Hill, also known as Kunlun Ruins.
It is the capital of the Heavenly Emperor on earth, and also the "land of all gods" that connects heaven and earth.
According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it is located in the far west of the Western Sea, on the shore of the Flowing Sands, after the Red River and before the Black River. It is the ancestor of all mountains in the world and is not the same as the Kunlun Mountains in the mortal world.
As Lin Mo silently observed, a piercing shriek suddenly came from the western horizon, like the howls of countless vengeful ghosts.
The once clear blue sky was suddenly swallowed up by dark, demonic clouds, and foul-smelling black gas surged, obscuring the sun.
Wherever it passed, vegetation withered instantly, and rocks turned to dust.
It turned out to be countless demons and evil spirits.
On a massive, towering stone, Lu Wu, who had been holding his breath with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, and two beams of golden light shot out.
"Kunlun Forbidden Zone, trespassers shall die!"
It slowly stood up, its voice booming like a great bell, piercing straight through the demonic clouds.
The next instant, it transformed into a golden lightning bolt and rushed straight towards the demon horde.
With a swing of its two enormous tiger claws, countless demon corpses rained down.
Before long, all the invading enemies were wiped out.
"Is this the origin of the title 'Guardian of Luwu Kunlun'?"
Lin Mo murmured to himself.
Just then, the scene vanished.
A fluorescent panel with a mechanical feel suddenly appeared in front of him, with specks of light flowing across it.
The next instant, it transformed directly into golden characters.
[Kunlun Guardian - Lu Wulan's Purple Advancement Requirements]
[1. Slay 100 demonic beasts and evil spirits to complete Lu Wu's duty of guarding Kunlun.]
[2. At any mountaintop, nourish the card three times with your own life essence.]
[3. Prepare three offerings corresponding to Lu Wu's divinity and incorporate them when the card is upgraded.]
"They even made a control panel!"
Lin Mo was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the fluorescent panel in front of him, his lips twitching involuntarily:
"Interesting! This world is getting more and more interesting!"
If Lin Mo hadn't seen a similar panel before, he would have almost suspected that this was his cheat code.
Knowing about Lu Wu's promotion ceremony made things much easier.
These three conditions are not difficult; they just take a little time.
With a thought, Lin Mo immediately withdrew from the mental space.
