Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"It's also about two months, roughly~"

Even though he had received the Demonic Emperor's relics which were comparable to a fifteen-year improvement in his cultivation, Tao Yu certainly wouldn't scoff at two months of arduous training.

Right now, his normal five-fold Acceleration still took half a month, and furthermore, the Longevity Secret had successfully crossed over the threshold of level 3, and had become level 4!

Looking at Shi Feixuan, who had passed out next to him in a state not fit to describe, Tao Yu pulled a set of his own clothes from the shadows and threw them over her.

Now that he had the Corpse-Hiding Mirror, he could carry more daily necessities with him in the future.

Afterward, Tao Yu directly manipulated the mental seed to stimulate a response, forcefully waking the unconscious Shi Feixuan.

"That set can't be worn anymore, change into this one," he said.

He had no feelings of pity or compassion for her, as he stood up; the scene was a bit hard to describe.

Hearing his words, Shi Feixuan looked at the oversized T-shirt, felt the pressure of the mental seed on herself, and couldn't help but sigh.

But she didn't say anything, merely silently put on the T-shirt—her statuesque figure, combined with the stretchy material of the clothes, outlined a picture best left undescribed.

This made Tao Yu pause for a moment.

Looking at Shi Feixuan obediently standing there, he felt somewhat speechless.

It seemed like he was the one at a disadvantage in this situation.

Then, as if struck by a thought, Tao Yu took off his Inner Scales Armor.

At this stage, the armor was not of much use to him, but it could provide her some cover.

This clothing exchange directly turned Shi Feixuan into a figure in white, barefoot, and with bare legs...

…

"Tsk~"

Wanwan, seeing Shi Feixuan return in such a unique set of clothes, couldn't help but click her tongue, apparently experiencing what Bai Qing'er had felt back then.

This guy, indeed, was her lifelong adversary!

"What are you looking at? We'll have you two compete later to settle who is superior," said Tao Yu, knocking Wanwan on the head and reaching out to tease her pouting lips.

"How are things going over there?"

"Master has already obtained the Immortal Seven Illusions; Shi Zhixuan is dead, and his corpse is still there. We don't know what the specific items Sect Master mentioned are; it seems Sect Master will have to search for them himself.

"Right now, Master is attending the meeting, and given her unique identity, she is actually able to guide the discussion somewhat. It currently seems that everyone tacitly acknowledges the Song Faction as leading the way, and afterwards, representatives from the major factions have proposed forming a cabinet, and the Emperor position should have gone to Song Que, but he doesn't seem to care.

Now, it seems like there's an intention to give it to that kid Kou Zhong."

Even with the backing of Tao Yu's influence, plus the external pressure of the Fortune Thief incident and the reality of the Abyss situation,

settling such matters purely through 'discussion' would definitely take a significant amount of time.

Yet defining a general direction and framework for the situation was not a big problem for the moment.

With the Song Faction already powerful in its own right and previously the Li Faction, aided by Tujue and Goguryeo, being able to hold their own, and perhaps even have the upper hand,

the fallout in Chang'an undeniably shattered all their aspirations.

Choosing the Song Faction, therefore, followed naturally.

In an era like this, it was impossible to skip steps towards some strange progress—the core figure of the Emperor was indispensable.

However, whether Song Que was considering not wanting an overly dominant Emperor, or he simply didn't want to waste time being the Emperor, in the end, it truly seemed that Kou Zhong might be the one picked.

Kou Zhong, indeed, was neither adept at governing nor particularly cultured.

But the specific measures were to be confirmed by the cabinet, with representatives from the great families each having a stake in it; Kou Zhong, coming from the lower classes and being cunning, just had to maintain a balance.

This was indeed the quickest way to achieve unification.

Having experienced it firsthand, Tao Yu also understood that this era could not possibly do away with the influence of the powerful clans and magnates.

How powerful was he in comparison?

Even if the rich young lady came over to preside, what of it?

Killing one person would only lead to escalating chaos.

However, with the pressure that the Abyss itself brings, and the fusion under the influence of multiple realms, there will always be a way to adapt.

But considering the situation in the old Development Zone and Starshine City, the new methods might not necessarily be better...

For a moment, Tao Yu actually felt a sense of powerlessness, despite his exceptional strength, unable to solve the problem.

People can't avoid having private interests, and after all, those who actually do the work are human.

There may be a few saints, but their numbers are too small to cover all the crucial positions.

"Perhaps, the emergence of some super AI could solve many problems, but unfortunately, the ones who make AI are also people. Who knows what kind of data they feed it, or what backdoors will be left..."

And Tao Yu did not interfere much with the situation here.

Being just a minor shareholder, these were not his concerns to ponder. Frankly, if he interfered and made a mess, it would be his fault.

If those they chose did not perform well, then that was their own problem, which had nothing to do with him...

...

A ball of thunder in Tao Yu's hand continuously changed colors—earth, gold, water, wood, fire, the cycle of the five elements unceasingly transforming under his control.

"Tao my friend, your Thunder Method is truly breathtaking."

Zhang Sanfeng held only a few small sparks in his hands, looking at Tao Yu's Thunder Method, he couldn't help but sigh.

While others continued to discuss the future situation of Great Tang, Tao Yu and Zhang Sanfeng, who did not wish to join, were tinkering with the Lightning Rushing Thunder Fist.

Tao Yu was not stingy in explaining some of the principles and applications.

As a centenarian practitioner, Zhang Sanfeng might not be able to master it immediately, but he could understand the basic principles of the Lightning Rushing Thunder Fist and made a few rudimentary attempts.

While he couldn't apply it to actual combat, he managed to produce some 'tricks' like small sparks.

At the same time, he corroborated Taoist teachings with Tao Yu's findings, learning and improving together.

"It's a pity that it's still impossible to return to the state of chaos. I feel that my True Yuan reserves are enough, but there's still something missing."

Tao Yu even considered a second Deification of the Lightning Rushing Thunder Fist. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

Different from the Fundamental Law, Lightning Rushing Thunder Fist was more like the Yi Sword Technique, just a Skill; the first instance cost ten thousand, while the second Deification would cost two million.

Although he didn't have so much money at the moment, he should nearly have enough after the dividends when he returned.

He could also sell the skills dropped by the zombies to earn money, as well as the vampire ashes.

These didn't need to be included in the anticipatory funding provided by the lady tycoon.

To cover the costs advanced by the lady tycoon, the Sword Canon of Mercy and the upcoming training of instructors were already sufficient.

After all, the Sword Canon of Mercy was even more famous!

The Dao Heart Demon Seed, on the other hand, he could keep for observation, as it wasn't very famous, and giving it to those Pioneers with a low threshold might cause many problems. Since he had enough, there was no need to sell it.

"The Magnificent Sun Divine Skill and the Nine Profound Great Technique, although not as mysterious as secret texts, are relatively simpler to learn and probably easier to sell."

By dealing with the Fortune Thief group, providing various Divine Skills including the Sword Canon of Mercy, as well as this group of instructors, and stabilizing a world where the earth's energy was more active, he would have surplus after repaying the anticipatory funding from the lady tycoon.

The income from selling the remaining artifacts, plus the dividends, was sufficient for his cultivation needs and also for the Deification of the Lightning Rushing Thunder Fist.

However, since he now had seven carefully selected zombies and wanted to acquire a flying mount, Tao Yu also wanted to Deify the Art of Corpse Refinement.

"Hopefully, I can sell them for a good price—almost time to head back..."

While they discussed, their armies did not stop, gradually stabilizing the chaotic regions and beginning to suppress bandits.

Putting down bandits during the end times of a dynasty was a very tough task.

And even though they had already figured out the general direction, the interests to compete for and all kinds of negotiations probably required many more sessions. Tao Yu, while discussing techniques with the Demon Sect beauties and exploring the Thunder Method with Zhang Sanfeng, even though he was enjoying himself,

After more than half a month, he still felt it was better to let this group slowly negotiate while he went back to settle his debt of obligation...
