Perhaps they were already slowly loosening the control of information. Right after the Koroya incident ended, Jack Clark could clearly sense the differences on the internet.
Unfortunately, with Jack Clark’s access level, that was all he could see, and he had no idea to what extent the three paths had been pushed to their limits.
After that, Jack Clark spent half a day in the control room, browsing through many documents that he previously couldn’t access, before finally sitting back in his chair, lost in thought.
He was thinking about the words James Crane had said to him before.
Should he create a top-tier secret manual that was most suitable for himself, or should he switch to cultivating a top-tier secret manual passed down by another king-level cultivator?
Switching to another manual, with the enhancement characteristic of Attribute points, he could reach the Ninth Heavens faster and more conveniently. It wasn’t impossible to reach the Ninth Heavens or even become king-level within a year.
But the drawbacks were also obvious. Very few who walked the path of others could break through to become king-level, and furthermore, after breaking through to king-level, their combat strength was weak, and progress was difficult.
The reason was that you were cultivating someone else’s path, essentially following a template, knowing what to do but not why.
In the end, when it came time to comprehend Heaven and Earth and use personal understanding to analyze all things to perfect one’s framework, one would realize they didn’t know how to ‘add’ or ‘optimize.’
Even the strengthening from Attribute points couldn’t solve this issue.
Otherwise, Jack Clark wouldn’t have needed any complementary Cultivation Methods earlier and could have directly inferred the fourth layer of the Dragon Elephant Power for his breakthrough.
Nor would he have opted for the Limit Strengthen Dragon Elephant Overlord Body and condensed runes this time. Instead, he would have directly inferred the seventh layer Cultivation Method and condensed the true martial arts phantom.
During this time, Jack Clark had almost figured out the characteristics of Attribute points.
That is the enhancement of known ‘entities.’
For example, the Cultivation Method is a known ‘entity’ that has been created, so one can continue to strengthen and breakthrough according to the method layer by layer, even to the extreme.
Beyond that, the same applied to battle armor, weapons, the Sumeru Bracelet, and even talents evolved from flesh and body—they could all be strengthened. But when it came to the elusive and vague, involving the comprehension of the realm of thought, including Power of Will, it didn’t work.
The Power of Intent, honing one’s own willpower, was transformed from Spirit Power. While it could slightly contribute to the breakthrough of Cultivation Methods, it couldn’t be the direct object of enhancement.
Every time the Power of Will was enhanced during a breakthrough, it was because Jack Clark’s consciousness integrated with the Dragon Elephant Phantom to hone and comprehend.
As for Battle Intent and Sword Intent, Attribute points almost had no response at all.
This was why, after condensing Prison Blood War Intent, no + sign appeared afterwards.
Including the Heart’s Eye Realm, it also fell into stagnation after losing the known Cultivation Method inferences, unable to strengthen ‘Cut through the Void’ into a complete rune.
Can I really create a top-tier secret manual?
A question arose in Jack Clark’s mind.
Actually, it wasn’t impossible.
He already had the complete Divine Might Dragon Elephant Rune, and next, he just needed to refer to the God Elephant Secret Book, which could cultivate up to the Nine Layers.
Then, combining his own True Martial Attribute, body, and Will, he could create a ‘path’ that completely matched him.
If other cultivators could slowly carve out their path to become king-level, he could equally create a top-tier secret manual to serve as the foundation for his aspire to the throne.
Especially in this era, which was different from the past, creating secret manuals was much less difficult, and the reason was that there were many Cultivation Methods for reference.
For instance, those Advanced Cultivation Methods, each representing a microcosm of a rune structure at their core.
Add to that, he was only at the Late-Stage Fifth Layer Heaven and still had an entire Major Realm until the peak of the Sixth Heavens, so there was ample time to perfect and create his own secret manual.
Of course, one shouldn’t be blindly arrogant.
So, just as James Crane said, Jack Clark also made a backup plan. If the secret manual was still nowhere to be seen by the Late Sixth Heavenly Stage, he would directly choose another manual as his foundation.
Having made his decision, Jack Clark took a deep breath and opened the Secret Catalog.
“Confirm the application for the top-tier secret manual, Divine Might Dragon Elephant?”
“Yes,” Jack Clark clicked confirm.
“Your manual application has been uploaded. Please wait patiently for Federal Headquarters to notify you. The Secret Rubbing Version of the manual will be delivered within half a month at the latest.”
Whew! Jack Clark exhaled deeply, then stood up and strode out of the control room.
There were many things he still had to do next.
Such as the second casting of the extraordinary battle armor and Transcendent Weapon, and also enhancing the Eight Desolate Refining Hell Halberd to the limit, to condense Battle Skill Runes.
Then, after breaking through to the Sixth Layer, acquiring the top-tier secret manual, he would need to consider his next steps.
By now, the Southern Battlefield was of little help for the significant improvement of his strength in the future.
When Jack Clark entered the Cloud Mist Mountain Range again, he was astonished to find that the peripheries were swarming with cultivator teams hunting Unique Beasts and gathering resources.
Even in the middle areas, numerous teams from the Late Period of Fourth Layer Heaven joined forces to battle against large Level 5 Alien Beasts in a brutal fight.
Clearly, stimulated by him, these students had experienced a renaissance… No, their passion for cultivation had been ignited.
Seeing this, Jack Clark shook his head slightly, his figure flashed as he continued to rush towards the deeper sections of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, because along the way, he hadn’t encountered a single level 5 or higher Alien Beast.
From setting out at noon until evening, after traveling over two thousand kilometers, Jack Clark once again delved deep into the latter section of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.
“Hey hey hey!! Calling Black Bird 2, this is Pigeon, have you found anything on your end?”
“Hehe, I found a Phantom Fog Nine Leaf Ginseng here. It’s about a month away from flowering. I’ve uploaded the data and put it on sale.”
“Damn! How can you be so lucky?”
