Chapter 90: Chapter 78: Spirit Plant·General Worship Platform, Powerful Synergistic Effect_2

So he was finding it difficult to make a decision now.

"Actually, felids aren’t suitable as mounts, it’s a good thing this creature isn’t a real tiger, otherwise I’d definitely have to replace it with a horse."

"But using a tiger as a mount can also add some combat power."

"Let’s just make do for now, but which direction ough I use, Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals or Ghost Generals?"

Gu Shanhai had to consider the future, and he naturally tended to prefer the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, planning to focus on the Thunder Department later on for not only charisma but also strength.

Of course, if there’s a chance, the Dou Department and Plague Department would also be possible, Fire Department clashes slightly with him, as his entire being was made of plants.

"Just use Marshal Zhao from Dragon and Tiger Xuan Tan, as for the others, we can modify them later if they are not suitable."

Marshal Zhao, which was Zhao Gongming.

Like Shangqing Zhengyi Xuantan Feihu Jinline Commanding Zhao Marshals, he comes with Black Tiger, of course, there are other versions, but for Gu Shanhai, this wasn’t the original, so casual modifications were fine, and he could continue to modify in the future, as long as it’s not a mountain ghost, all would be suitable.

He mainly feared the resurgence of the mountain ghost, as being overthrown by his subordinate would be problematic, so he wanted to erase the original traces to prevent future mishaps, even if the General Order had been assimilated, caution was still wise.

"As for the name Spirit Plant, it cannot be used as ’ugly blue corner’, and since it interacts with the General Order, let’s call it General Worship Platform."

...

"Finally got it sorted, and it wasn’t easy."

Gu Shanhai looked at the rugged man behind him, clad in Taotie Beast Face Armor, sporting a chaotic beast that resembled a dog, or perhaps a bear but clawless on its head, riding a Qiongqi Winged Tiger, holding a long spear depicting a champion of the West, indomitable in combat.

Well, although he thought of using Dragon and Tiger Altar Marshal Zhao, upon careful consideration, recreating it seemed not to hold much combat power. After all, celestial beings fought differently from him, and he could only slightly modify it, incorporating the Four Evils.

At first glance, it still seemed quite functional, exuding an aura of a formidable villain not easily provoked.

Whether in terms of spirituality or combat power, the Fierce General crafted by Gu Shanhai far surpassed the original phantom, though its spirituality might not be as desired.

After the General Order and General Worship Platform were coordinated, the Fierce General had greatly improved in automatic combat, protecting the master, locking the enemy, and restraining breaths. Still, after all, it was not human, just enhanced through the General Worship Platform.

On a hornet, indeed, it was considered a significant advancement, but on a human, it was too lacking.

So Gu Shanhai wasn’t quite satisfied, originally thinking it would fully transform into a living person’s form, but now, he still occasionally needed to manually operate.

However, it was alright, progress naturally wasn’t limited to just this much. The true strength of the Fierce General was in its ability. Each time it attacked an enemy, it would absorb a fraction of the enemy’s spirit and soul and then partially feed it back to Gu Shanhai - a special kind of life-draining, thus completely fearless in prolonged battles.

In time, not only would it grow more spirited the longer it fought but it would also retain a portion inside for growth - each absorption providing growth energy for the Fierce General.

Certainly, Gu Shanhai could disable this feature, but he wouldn’t because as long as the connection forming the Fierce General enabled it to autonomously grow, and even explode in desperate times, he found that unless he cancels the interaction between the two Spirit Plants, the General Order could not summon multiple Fierce Generals.

If he canceled the linkage, then he could not summon the Fierce General but only the phantom, which was essentially a regression, yet this phantom wasn’t the original mountain ghost’s phantom but that of the Fierce General.

Thus he must choose either quality or quantity, it’s impossible to have both.

Gu Shanhai, of course, chose the quality of the Fierce General because with the same amount of mana, the Fierce General could easily slaughter phantoms.

More importantly, this entity featured higher intelligence, not requiring Gu Shanhai to manually operate most of the time.

"There is still room for improvement, especially in the opponent’s absorption ability. If paired with my healing technique, it can absorb not only the opponent’s soul and spirit but also their life force and flesh."

"Hiss~ Why does it seem like the path gets more twisted the further we go?"

He always felt that if he perfected it according to his own method, it would become a weapon of the demonic path, yet his original intention had been that of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.

"Alright, this is maximizing the ability."

Upon reflection, there was no helping it. After all, the core capability was formed by the skills of the General Order and the General Worship Platform’s two Spirit Plants. If he stopped using it, wouldn’t Gu Shanhai be akin to severing his own arm?

During this period, Gu Shanhai had been not only creating a Fierce General to act as a bodyguard but also exploring whether there could be further interactions between Spirit Plants.

The Yunling Grass and Purifying Grass he held were examples of simple interactions, though not as profound as the General Order and the General Worship Platform.

Unfortunately, there were too few types of Spirit Plants, and the current progress wasn’t great. For instance, integrating Yuan Suo Grass with the General Order and the General Worship Platform to see if it could enhance the Fierce General’s reaction ability had constantly failed, as did attempts to improve the Fierce General’s endurance with Yunling Grass and Purifying Grass.

The idea of creating interactions between Yuan Suo Grass, Yunling Grass, and Purifying Grass was even more far-fetched.

Unless Gu Shanhai obtained more Spirit Plants, he could form more interactions, which could further interact among themselves.

Like the spiritual energy environment created by Yunling Grass and Purifying Grass, without this environment, the Fierce General formed by the General Order and General Worship Platform would lack a foundation.

Besides contemplating interactions, Gu Shanhai, aside from his daily cultivation, also trained in bullet time.

The improvement was minimal because his innate ability included agility enhancement, which naturally encompassed neural reaction.

After training himself numerous times, he realized it was no longer effective.

It was a basic skill of the firearm approach, and after a certain point, it would only serve to accumulate attributes, hardly usable for long unless he was a hacker.

"Counting the days, the second and third advanced worlds are opening in a few days. This mission is indeed a long-term one, and the rewards are out of reach."

Gu Shanhai felt a bit of regret; this time, he could only say goodbye to this blank invitation.

The first advanced world still had value, like Spirit Plants, but they were not something he could obtain, so he needed to move on to the next world.

"In these few days, I must quickly enhance my special ability to E rank. The next world isn’t as peaceful as this one." Gu Shanhai could interfere with his ability’s progress, normally strengthening it progressively. Now, with time pressing, he had to accelerate, and during this period, his body’s consumption would greatly increase. That was the price.

In this state, Gu Shanhai couldn’t keep himself at his peak, effectively starting with a reduction of 20% in all attributes, so he normally wouldn’t accelerate his ability’s growth unless necessary.

Therefore, during this time, he would also stop his cultivation, focusing more on further digesting the "Green Emperor Longevity Scripture."

For instance, certain applications of bullet time could be added to the second layer: Perception, and the first layer: Yunling could be further optimized in Cultivation Technique, potentially enhancing the efficiency of cultivation during practice; naturally, with the growth of the third layer: Spirit Root, the first and second layers would change in sync.

Being a system centered around him, although divided, the improvement was definitely synchronized; thus, adjustments were necessary, further optimizing growth.

"As long as nothing goes wrong in the next advanced world, the initial self-protection plan I devised in my previous life will be deemed complete."

"Though it has gone quite off course already..."

Gu Shanhai never thought of relying on his foresight for a lifetime because, due to the butterfly effect, plans can never keep up with changes. Didn’t he see how the sturdiest first advanced world crumbled into a mess upon his arrival, taking a completely different turn from the era of special abilities in his previous life.
