#757 - Superman Man of Steel
The content of this banquet wasn't particularly remarkable. Aside from some arrangements and encouragements regarding the imperial examination, it seemed that Emperor Renzong Zhao Zhen mostly wanted to gather with a group of old ministers while he was still alive.
Of course, taking this opportunity to support Yingzong and stabilize the morale of the court was also one of his goals.
These things didn't have much to do with Liang Yue. The reason he was invited was probably due to being there at the right time, and Zhao Zhen wanting to show his importance and gratitude towards him.
Soon, after several rounds of wine and the banquet was more than halfway through, the atmosphere in the hall gradually reached its peak.
Thanks to the recent displays of the Song Dynasty's cultural and military achievements, with frequent reports of victory from the front lines, and the flourishing age becoming increasingly apparent, under the influence of alcohol and the encouragement of the palace orchestra in the corner,
a group of officials from literary backgrounds began to gradually lose control of their poetic and artistic inclinations, and they all started to compose poems and verses with inspiration.
Subsequently, Renzong, at the head of the table, seized the opportunity and took the initiative to propose that all the civil and military officials present should display their poetic talents and offer blessings and encouragement to the numerous candidates in the upcoming imperial examinations.
If they did well, there would be prizes to be won.
At that time, in addition to some rewards, Zhao, the official, would personally wield his brush and ink, promising to use it as the official inscription poem for this year's imperial examination, to make it famous.
After finishing, he summoned the eunuchs in the palace to set up pens, ink, paper, and inkstones in the main hall.
Everything was voluntary. If poetic inspiration came, they could step forward and write themselves; if not, there was no compulsion.
For a time, the atmosphere in the hall was pushed to a climax because of this. Many literati and scholars in the hall competed to write, and regardless of their level, most of them would join in the fun, somewhat carried away.
Various loud recitations, laughter, exclamations, and cheers rose and fell in succession.
In the end, even Liang Yue couldn't help but pick up a pen and write two lines.
Of course, the poem he wrote was definitely not his own creation, but an impromptu use of a couplet from later generations to express his feelings.
His years of hard practice in the art of regular script finally had some use.
"Know that when young, one has soaring ambitions, once promising to be the best in the world."
… …
After the banquet ended, Liang Yue didn't stay in the Water Margin world for long, but returned directly to the base world.
Xiao Zhao, Hinata, Saya-chan, Shizuka-sensei, and others, didn't know where they got the news from, but after learning that the plot of this world had begun, they had teamed up and went out to travel in the past few days.
They even called it 'heart training in the mortal world' to prepare for the next breakthrough.
In fact, according to his divine sense exploration, they just ran to Yanggu County to see Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang…
Liang Yue didn't take it seriously.
First, he returned to reality to show his face, paid attention to the situation in the Marvel world from Xiao Wu, and after discovering that there was nothing wrong, he went directly to the DC world.
After planting the verdant little tree in his own mountain gate, Liang Yue began to retreat and cultivate again.
Although this trip to the heavens was short, the gains were definitely not small.
Whether it was the World Tree, the Fruit of Life, or the infinite energy device based on the S2 engine, they were all great gains, worthy of his further in-depth study and research.
In addition, the "Vajra Art" he had previously drawn from the system, as well as the "Human King Seal Art", "Five Elements Escape Technique", etc., drawn from the EVA world, were all very good techniques.
Although they were not the main cultivation methods, they could also make up for some of his shortcomings very well.
So Liang Yue felt that it was indeed necessary for him to retreat and digest these techniques properly.
As for the main cultivation method and the improvement of his own cultivation realm, it was not urgent for the time being.
In fact, after studying and deducing the S2 engine, he had now found a clear path to advance to the Void Refinement realm. If he continued to follow the current path step by step, he believed that he would soon be able to advance.
However, the simple advancement of realm and cultivation was obviously not his goal.
How to find his own path in this process, research more possibilities, and make up for his own shortcomings was what Liang Yue needed to do now.
Therefore, in order to better seek inspiration, what he first studied and practiced was the "Vajra Art" from the Mortal Realm of the human race!
This secret book was widely circulated in the Mortal Realm. Almost everyone in the human race's sphere of influence in the Spirit Realm could learn it, so that even some sects in the Mortal Realm had inherited it.
However, compared to the seven-level version widely spread in the Spirit Realm, this "Vajra Art" that Liang Yue drew from the system had a full nine levels.
After completing the cultivation, he could directly face the Transformation God realm cultivator with his physical strength alone!
The two extra levels were the content he wanted to focus on studying.
The reason was self-evident. This was already the closest technique Liang Yue could access to breaking through to the Transformation God and advancing to the Void Refinement realm.
Other things were either too profound and obscure (Creation of Fortune) or had differences in the cultivation system (martial arts technique Human King Seal Art), which was really a bit helpless.
… …
In this way, unknowingly, ten years had passed~
The timeline of the current DC world had finally arrived in 2012.
On this day, Liang Yue, who was in retreat and cultivation, suddenly felt something and withdrew from his state of complete focus.
His name is Kal-El. I now demand that you immediately send this person over to me for custody. This person, for unknown reasons, has chosen to live in anonymity.
You don't know his existence. He tries to blend in among you and looks very much like you, but he is not one of you. I want to inform those who know his location.
The fate of your planet is in your hands, and ~ what I want to say is, surrender within twenty-four hours, otherwise, you will witness this planet suffer the consequences it deserves~"
… …
"The Superman plot has begun?"
Looking at the familiar opening method in the light curtain, as well as the few uniquely styled spaceships staying in outer space, Liang Yue couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
He actually had a spaceship with a similar style to those spaceships.
Previously, it had served as an experimental product for the intelligent brain Xiao Wu's technological deduction and made great contributions.
It could be said that the several directions with the highest technological content and development level of his family today were almost all researched by Xiao Wu based on the Kryptonian spaceship.
And the spaceship that served as the experimental prototype was just a Kryptonian survey ship sent to Earth by Superman's father a long time ago. In comparison, the spaceships that came to Earth this time should be more advanced.
"So, in terms of pure functionality, those spaceships do have the ability to destroy the Earth."
"But as the core of the DC multiverse, the Earth is not so easily destroyed. Once those spaceships start to act, many characters will inevitably be involved. Superman alone can cope with the current situation."
"As for me~ well... I can't just watch."
"I should lend a hand at the appropriate time."
