Mechanical God Emperor-Chapter 34 – Bloodline Secret Methods vs. Orthodox Secret Methods

Translator: Xaiomoge

Yang Feng has learned a lot of basic Warlock knowledge under Robot Bonney’s guidance these days. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

‘I seek truth and pursue eternity in the darkness!’ This was a famous saying of the 1st Warlock Emperor, the Time Lord. Countless Warlocks revered this saying truthful. The ultimate goal of Warlocks was to acquire eternity.

In order to acquire eternity, countless Warlocks left their tracks over countless planes, absorbing their knowledge and seizing their life forms to carry out bloodline remodeling, taboo research, soul research, golem manufacturing, and other kinds of research.

Secret methods were cultivation methods that Warlocks devised after absorbing the knowledge from countless planes.

Secret methods were divided into two categories – bloodline secret methods and orthodox secret methods.

Bloodline secret methods were special secret methods that could be cultivated after you transplanted the bloodline of a formidable life form, transforming yourself into a powerful life form. This category of secret methods reached maturity after the 2nd Warlock Dynasty made countless advancements and created countless freaks. Prior to the 2nd Warlock Dynasty, practically all Warlocks practiced orthodox secret methods.

Different from orthodox secret methods, bloodline secret methods came with great power and amazing cultivation speed. You just had to transplant the bloodline of a formidable life form and withstand its power. With the same resources, the cultivation speed of Bloodline Warlocks could be 10 times as fast as that of Orthodox Warlocks.

However, practicing bloodline secret methods had its limitations. That is, once you transplanted a bloodline, it would be difficult to change it. Additionally, bloodlines had their own evolution potential. Once the evolution potential of the transplanted bloodline was depleted, the cultivator would be restricted by the bloodline, and would find it very difficult to advance any further.

Orthodox secret methods didn’t have such limitations. If a cultivator practicing an orthodox secret method was dissatisfied with their secret method, they could switch to another secret method at any time, and could even cultivate 2 or 3 different secret methods that didn’t conflict with each other at the same time. Of course, there was still a certain price to pay when changing secret methods.

The Magic Note’s Titan Art was a formidable bloodline secret method, while the West Extreme Cold Ice Phoenix Art was a formidable orthodox secret method. Both secret methods were many times more powerful than the secret methods of the Black Cottage. The West Extreme Cold Ice Phoenix Art was particularly special. Even though it could only be cultivated until the level-1 Warlock rank, but it could already become an inheritance secret method of a small Warlock family. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

As for Knight cultivation secret methods, they were in fact a branch of Body-tempering Warlock cultivation. The physical constitution of a Knight was equivalent to that of a level-1 Apprentice Warlock, while the physical constitution of a Sky Knight was equivalent to that of a level-1 Warlock.

Both parties got what they wanted. After some small talk, they began to exchange their cultivation experiences.

With Robot Bonney’s memories as reference, Yang Feng’s avatar Yang Ye inquired Eudorax about a lot of snags related to the cultivation of level-1 Warlocks.

As he gave Yang Ye pointers on issues regarding the cultivation of level-1 Warlocks, Eudorax confirmed that Yang Feng’s avatar Yang Ye was really just at the level-1 Warlock rank.

They had a nice conversation. Two days later, Eudorax left the Black City.

Inside the master bedroom on the 3rd floor of the Warlock tower.

Sitting on a sofa draped in white bear fur, Yang Feng’s true body heaved a sigh of satisfaction, and then uttered unhurriedly: “For now, the war has come to an end. Now that we gained some time of respire, we can begin with the construction of fortified strongholds.”

3796 asked: <Where shall the fortified strongholds be built?>

Standing to the side, Robot Bonney’s eyes flashed and emitted two light rays that formed the map of Yang Feng’s sphere of influence in midair.

Yang Feng replied: “Build a mobile fortified stronghold in the Giant Stone City and a permanent fortified stronghold in the Black City! However, there’s no need to build a matter and energy converter in the Black City’s fortified stronghold.”

A matter and energy converter was the core component of a production stronghold. In 3796’s database, there was a great number of technological creations that exceed this era. However, due to the lack of materials, those formidable technological creations could not be produced en masse. Matter and energy converters could convert energy into a variety of materials. With such a machine, you could produce more formidable battle robots as well as other technological creations on a large scale.

Currently, there was no lack of steel or energy to build a level-1 mobile fortified stronghold. The only thing he lacked was dimensional crystals, which could slowly be produced via 3796’s build-in matter and energy converter. If there was a large matter and energy converter, it would be easy to produce dimensional crystals.

Yang Feng’s intention behind building a mobile fortified stronghold was to take it along and escape if he ever came across some being that he could not resist. With a large mobile fortified stronghold, no matter where he went, he could quickly make a comeback.

<Understood! What should be the distribution ratio of resources for the construction of the mobile fortified stronghold? Once the distribution ratio of resources is fixed, then it’ll take one month of modulation and application to adjust the distribution ratio.>

Yang Feng said: “List the construction time for the distributions of resources at 50% and higher.”

<With the distribution ratio of resources at 50%, it will take 3,712 days to complete the construction.>

<With the distribution ratio of resources at 60%, it will take 3,421 days to complete the construction.>

<With the distribution ratio of resources at 70%, it will take 3,012 days to complete the construction.>

<With the distribution ratio of resources at 80%, it will take 2,512 days to complete the construction.>

<With the distribution ratio of resources at 90%, it will take 1,900 days to complete the construction.>

<With the distribution ratio of resources at 100%, it will take 1,221 days to complete the construction.>

“Ten years? So long!” Yang Feng frowned slightly and asked: “If I were to obtain dimensional crystals, how long would the construction time be then?”

<20 days! If you get enough dimensional crystals, I can produce a mobile fortified stronghold within 20 days.>

Yang Feng made a decision: “Then let the distribution ratio of resources be at 50%!”

50% of resources will be used in the construction of a mobile fortified stronghold and the remaining 50% of resources will used to expand Yang Feng’s mechanical legion as well as promote his true body’s strength. If all the resources were invested into the construction of the mobile fortified stronghold, then he wouldn’t be able to build new battle robots. He would be stuck with the mechanical legion he could employ at the moment. In that case, his mechanical legion could even be wiped out entirely if he ran into a Great Warlock rank powerhouse.

3796 said: <Yes! I will immediately start the construction of a mobile fortified stronghold in the Giant Stone City.>

“You’ll be in charge when I go to the Warlock College Antalya to study!”

<Okay! I will strictly implement the procedures that you formulated.>
