Mao Fei was stunned, his face full of shock.

"So this is the means of the Divine Weapon Sect. That battle against Lin Ke... he must have won."

He was certain in his heart, if Lin Ke had won that match, he wouldn't have treated Qin Shou this way.

Meanwhile, Gagura controlled the Monster's body, slowly rising, baring fangs and claws with a thunderous roar. Above him, Mebura's twin eyes unleashed terrifying golden beams, crushing several mountains along the way as they blasted straight toward Qin Shou.

"Hmph."

Qin Shou snorted coldly, gripping his saber with both hands, as a hundred-zhang burst of Amber Blade Energy descended furiously.

"Boom!!!"

The golden beams collided with the blade energy, and the sky erupted with a deafening noise as golden shock waves swept across the land.

After a brief clash, the two forces appeared evenly matched.

At least, it seemed that way.

The beams unleashed by Gagura looked terrifying, but in truth, their power was mediocre—he was holding back!

If he didn't give Qin Shou some face, he'd be in trouble later.

"Roar!!"

In the next moment, a tiger's phantom shot forth from the Tiger Soul Saber, enveloped in intense heat, transforming into a golden mini-sun streaking across the sky.

Gagura timed his moment, firing a dazzling light projectile from his abdomen, precisely avoiding the charging tiger phantom.

"Boom!!"

The tiger phantom struck Gagura's chest, triggering flames to soar into the heavens as Gagura let out a wretched howl. Three Monster shadows began to show signs of fragmentation from his body, shaking uncontrollably as they struggled to merge back into one.

"Damn you, natives of Heavenly Artifact Continent. I'll be back!"

Gagura roared furiously as the three Monster phantoms shattered, reverting him back to his Demon form before he fled toward the horizon.

Qin Shou flicked his saber and shouted loudly: "Drue Demon, halt! Fight me, Qin, for another three hundred rounds..."

As he spoke, the spine along the Tiger Soul Saber began to writhe, a torrent of Primordial Energy surged outside his body, and the tiger phantom enveloped him as he quickly chased in Gagura's fleeing direction.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

"Roar..."

"Hiss!!"

In the distant horizon, blade and sword clashed fiercely, dark red Light Blades collided with Amber Blade Energy, sending sparks flying. Occasionally, blade energy or light blades shot toward the earth, shattering mountaintops and cracking the ground.

As the battlefield shifted further away, it gradually disappeared from Mao Fei's sight.

For a long time, Mao Fei stood there, dazed, feeling defeated inside.

"Sigh, who would've thought this person's strength would be so overwhelming? In the end, the real clown was me all along."

He hung his head in dejection, his mind conjuring the aloof figure of Lin Ke.

All these years, what have I been doing this for...

...

Deep in the mountains, a Capsule Apartment sat nestled.

"Come, come, master, long time no see, I've missed you dearly. Let me offer you a toast."

In the living room, Gagura raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.

Across the table, Qin Shou's forehead twitched with dark lines.

"I say... you've been socializing quite a bit lately, your toasting posture seems quite practiced."

Gagura chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, master, you see, I'm now a gang leader, socializing is inevitable."

Qin Shou shook his head and asked: "How are things on Drue Planet?"

Gagura wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and replied: "Everything is normal over there, but the situation on Demon Eye Planet isn't looking good. Mirror Planet has already taken control of the Demon Sect, and I've heard that the Nine-eyed Demon God seems to be injured. It's likely that they'll soon seek aid from Earth, Drue Planet, and the Giant God Race."

Qin Shou stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Aid... that's fine. Before long, I should be able to acquire cultivation methods and then gradually expel the foreign forces.

Without the Galaxy Alliance and Mirror Planet, the progression of the world's narrative can officially begin."

The cultivation system of Heavenly Artifact Continent runs deep, making it impossible for someone of Qin Shou's strength to uproot it, but fortunately, it doesn't conflict with the Divine Weapon Beast System.

Qin Shou wasn't aiming high; achieving a one-third similarity to the worldview was enough to satisfy him.

The earlier "Ultraman Tiga" worldview only had a similarity of about six percent, which had already brought him considerable benefits.

In comparison, this world would be much easier.

It's just a cartoon, not the original work, so once the storyline runs its course, that should be sufficient.

...

A few days later, in Sword Sect.

Mao Fei and others returned in a disheveled state, attracting curious looks from the disciples.

"Strange, Brother Mao is among the top-tier Spiritual Artifact Masters; how did he return in such a sorry state? Could it be that he encountered a Saint-level Drue Demon?"

"That's impossible. If a strong figure of that level struck, Brother Mao wouldn't have survived. It's more likely the Drue Demon was simply too powerful, with sinister techniques that caught Brother Mao off guard."

"True, these outsiders are all trouble. Take the Earth Demon for instance—not only can they control Devil Beasts, but also Metal Puppets. Even a Spiritual Artifact-level Earth Demon has all sorts of bizarre abilities, truly terrifying..."

"Shh, Brother Mao and the others are coming, don't talk..."

"Okay, okay..."

...

Mao Fei dragged his injuries as he made his way to the main hall of the sect's peak. Not long after, he emerged from the hall, though no one knew what he had spoken with the sect master about.

Shortly after, Qin Shou, who had just returned to Jade Sword Peak, received a sword-shaped token sent by Ning Bufan's men.

"My junior brother, this is...?" Qin Shou looked puzzled.

The junior brother smiled, "Master Qin, this is the sect master's gesture. You defeated the Drue Demon single-handedly and saved Brother Mao and the others—word has spread."

Qin Shou chuckled lightly, "The sect master's intelligence is quite sharp."

The junior brother shook his head, "Actually, it was Brother Mao who reported it to the sect master first. He didn't say a single negative thing about Master Qin either. It seems Brother Mao has quite a bit of admiration for you."

"Oh? Not speaking ill is considered admiration now?" Qin Shou laughed.

The junior brother replied earnestly, "Of course it is. Aside from Sister Lin Ke, Brother Mao never respects anyone, much less giving anyone credit."

Qin Shou raised an eyebrow, "Your Brother Mao is quite interesting."

He lifted the sword-shaped token and asked, "By the way, what's this thing used for?"

"Master Qin, with this token, you can either select top-tier artifact refining materials in the treasure vault or visit Chuan Gong Hall to request a top-level technique from the Preaching Elders, or you could..."

"Alright, thank you, junior brother. I understand."

"Good, then I'll leave you to it, Master Qin. Farewell."

After the Sword Sect disciple left, Qin Shou held the token and flew without hesitation toward Chuan Gong Hall.

Soon, Qin Shou returned to Jade Sword Peak, his mind now imprinted with a cultivation technique that could not be removed.

The Preaching Elders were individuals with strong spiritual power but, due to certain reasons, had been unable to ascend to Saint-level Spiritual Artifact Masters.

Powerful spiritual energy allowed them to transfer the cultivation methods in their minds to the minds of disciples through spiritual power methods.

Qin Shou didn't have much expertise in cultivation techniques nor did he know which ones were stronger, so he simply chose a top-level technique at random.

This nonchalant approach instantly dispelled any suspicions from those hidden behind the scenes.

Inheritance of cultivation techniques was something that could never be overlooked.

...

"Green Lotus Sword Technique?"

Inside the room, the name of the cultivation technique surfaced in Qin Shou's mind, leaving him speechless.

Perhaps in the Heavenly Artifact Continent the name carried high prestige, but in his eyes, it was almost overused to the point of absurdity.

Shaking off the stray thoughts, Qin Shou focused intently on studying the technique.

The technique wasn't written in ancient, hard-to-decipher text and was unexpectedly easy to understand.

Moments later, Qin Shou opened his eyes, a flicker of understanding glinting in them.

The Green Lotus Sword Technique was a top-tier technique beneath the Saint-level mastery for Spiritual Artifact Masters.

Through this technique, one could cultivate life energy infused with the Wood attribute.

Due to the Wood attribute's relatively weak offensive abilities, Sword Sect ancestors specifically paired the technique with a sword technique that not only amplified offensive power but also retained the recovery properties of the original Wood attribute energy.

As for sword techniques, Qin Shou wasn't interested. He only cared about the cultivation method itself.

Having witnessed the cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Artifact Continent, Qin Shou conceived an entirely new plan for obtaining Saint-level techniques.

Since the cultivation techniques of the Heavenly Artifact Continent were intricately linked with the Artifact Refining Skill, cultivation required corresponding weapons to assist, allowing the Primordial Energy within the body to form unique Cultivation Routes that accelerated energy accumulation and attribute conversion.

By integrating specific methods within the Divine Weapon Beast, it was possible to glean the Primordial Energy operation routes of cultivators during their cultivation process and effectively obtain the techniques.

However, there was one condition—when spying on a cultivator's energy operation routes, he must ensure that the Heavenly Dao Consciousness did not perceive it as technique leakage, thereby prematurely erasing the cultivator.

Before he obtained the technique from the Preaching Elders, he had also been required to swear an oath to never disclose the technique to anyone, including other Sword Sect disciples.

Qin Shou stroked his chin; this was easily resolved.

By having the Divine Weapon Beast memorize the technique route and refraining from reclaiming the Beast prematurely, it wouldn't count as leakage.

Once the chosen individual advanced to the Saint-level, obtained the corresponding Saint-level technique, and then retrieved the Divine Weapon Beast, any punishment from the Heavenly Dao Consciousness would be irrelevant to him—as long as he had obtained the technique, nothing else mattered.

Haha! I, Qin Shou, am truly a genius!

Though, who should he pick as the guinea pig?

Qin Shou fell into deep thought.
