Chapter 586 Body Cultivation System

Chapter 586 Body Cultivation System

"Rely on me on this one," Jabba said seriously

"Huh?!" Robin raised one eyebrow, "Rely on you for what? You'll make everyone become an expert in Nihari's body cultivation system before the 15-year time limit? You know very well that body-strengthening divine tattoos depend on a person's talent in how to deal with the amount of energy absorbed and how his body deals with the changes, This is something that cannot be accelerated, otherwise, it will backfire and paralyze the body instead."

"I will make everyone experts in the body cultivation system, yes, but not Nihari's!" Jabba explained

"..Explain further." Robin knotted his eyebrows, still not understanding what Jabba was trying to say, Is there even another body cultivation system other than the one the First Heaven's Chosen invented?

"...That day when I forced that tremendous energy to remain inside my body for half an hour, I felt like I was already dead multiple times by the fifth minute! It was only my willpower that was keeping me alive, I kept telling myself: Endure one more second before you allow yourself to die... Endure one more second before you allow yourself to die... But after I regained my senses and felt the tremendous strength that I had acquired and the fundamental changes that occurred in my body, I regretted that that period was not two or three hours!!" Jabba looked down at his feet and muttered

Then he looked back at Robin, "I still remember that damn pain too well and I know every bone that was broken and every muscle that was torn, I still remember everything happened to me and in order! Since my battle against the warlord that day, I have been daydreaming, something inside of me telling me to try to recreate these conditions again and try that process once more, that perhaps my body will be refined again! And given the circumstances now, I think this is not a very bad idea."

"What exactly are you up to then?" Robin rested his chin on his hand, "This process is impossible to perform on humans since it depends on the explosion of variable molecules, Do you want to repeat this process on the Astrals and the Dwarves until you accidentally get some good results?"

Jabba shook his head quickly, "Of course not, I do not intend to blow up the entire planet! I just remember what happened to me well and believe that I can repeat it on a smaller scale. This may not benefit me, but I believe it will greatly benefit the army! Allow me to do so, I will devote the next few years to creating an array that simulates the stages in which my body was refined using natural energy, but this time I will use weak energy bursts on the target so that I do not kill him by mistake. Although the benefit he will get will not be as good as mine, it will undoubtedly make him stronger. Time after time he will get used to the operation and like this, I can increase the number of energy bursts little by little and constantly refine his body until it becomes like mine or even stronger, what do you think?"

Alexander opened his eyes to the end and looked at Jabba in shock, then at Robin, then at Jabba again!!

*tak* *tak*

Robin tapped his thigh for a few seconds, "As long as you remember everything that happened that day as you said, and with the help of the Eye of Truth, your offer is theoretically possible, but..."

Jabba furrowed his eyebrows slightly, ready to hear his master's objection, Alexander also looked discouraged as if he wanted to scream: *But what?!*

"...You know what, do it!" Robin hit his thigh and showed a big smile, "I will not say anything like 'This is dangerous' or 'It will take too long'. Do whatever you want, we will not advance if we do not try and learn from our mistakes. Just promise me that you will test your array first on war prisoners until you are sure of its safety, Alright?"

"Yes!!" Jabba shouted excitedly

"Consider me the first volunteer!!" Alexander next to him raised his hand and slapped Jabba's back forcefully out of extreme excitement... How could he not be excited when he himself was head over what Jabba's physical strength had done to the bark of Tree Father Hoffenheim? That lucky bastard destroyed part of the bark from kilometers away just because of the winds of his fist!!

Robin kept smiling, watching the joy of the two, but he was not as excited as them, not even a little... How could an array like that finish and show results before the specified date? Even if Jabba achieved the miracle and created a power system from scratch, would he produce Emperors who could stand head to head against the Nihari Emperors and the conquest Emperors? There are hundreds of Emperors on the planet Nihari alone!!

"Master, please remind Sister Zara to open the treasury for me in the coming period. I will need a huge amount of resources to try out my ideas. We may need to bring in more energy pearls from Nihari as well..." Jabba remembered and spoke quickly.

"More?" Robin furrowed his eyebrows in shock, "It is true that I do not follow the stock of energy pearls much, but there must be a lot, right? Also, energy pearls do not turn into ordinary stones or burn to ash when they run out of energy, as happens to the rest of the lower-ranking energy stones. Rather, depleted energy pearls are collected and placed in areas rich in natural energy to replenish themself within a few years, so technically the number of our energy pearls can only be increasing and not decreasing. How many do we have now? 30~40 million energy pearls maybe? Why would you want more?"

Jabba scratched his head sheepishly, "Not a small portion of them were used for transportation back and forth between the planets and are currently being recharged? It is not known how many years it will take before they can be used again, While the rest are necessary for the continuation of the Empire's day to day operations. As for my array, I fear that I will need to use double what we have now until I reach the optimal result. Do not forget that it is considered a new cultivation system, and it depends entirely on energy pressure!"

Robin remained silent for a while, "...You are right, even if you do not use the new energy pearls, there is no harm in filling our treasury. Tell me, how is the examination of Father Tree's body going? Have you started cutting it up yet?"

Jabba kept up with the changed subject and nodded, "During the examination, we found another vault full of treasures. Other than that, we found a few rare resources and insects on its trunk that the locals use to make some medicines and others that increase the affinity of those who eat them towards a certain law. Meanwhile, we have already begun cutting down a relatively young branch because it's the easiest to handle, and I think we currently have enough bark to make a few thousand of these wooden weapons."

"Only a few thousand?" Robin looked clearly annoyed, it had been three years and their progress was clearly not fast enough

Jabba shrugged his shoulders, "This is not in anyone's hands. You know how tough its bark is. Only I can cut large pieces of those branches, while the men of the Sixth Legion can only try cutting small pieces from the bark fairly large enough to be used as weapons, and even those young branches are still very tough for them. The Sixth Legion is really having it tough only to cut a few parts every day, They even brought their families to the side of the tree and set up their own colony around it. I can't put any more pressure on them right now, but the development team is currently working on ways to speed up the cutting process and they have already begun to achieve some results, It's only a matter of time before they find a better way to increase production."

Robin remained silent for a while and then nodded, "Alright, let those woods be the source of funding for your research then, talk to the Burton family's merchants and tell them to sell them to the Nihari Union Sect, and..." Robin was silent again and took out a scroll, signed his imperial seal, and wrote Something quickly, then he handed the decree to Alexander, "Give this to the merchants and tell them to deliver it to Theo or one of his close assistants in Nihari. They will sell these wooden weapons in other regions of the planet to fetch higher prices."

Alexander nodded and placed the decree in his space ring, but a few drops of sweat appeared on Jabba's forehead, "...Can I refuse? I remembered that I don't really need all these pearls, I will find another way."
