Chapter 1592 Decision
Rui found Master Ceeran's words to be clarifying.
He was not nearly familiar with the nuances of how Martial Sects functioned on a fundamental level.
"So...if I do go ahead with this plan, the conditions I will need to fulfill is to create techniques that ensure that Martial Artists of all fields can adopt elements of adaptive evolution."
"Correct," Master Ceeran nodded. "Once you create a set of such techniques, you need only present them in the annual fiscal budget meeting that will occur in half a year. If they earn the approval of the constituent members, then you will gain some support and will secure yourself a handsome budget that will be used to promote and spread your Martial Path. However, if you don't care for the little budget politics, then you can spend your own money." Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Rui raised an eyebrow with interest. "I can?"
"Indeed, you can specify donations to a certain budget allocation and that money will be used for that," Master Ceeran replied, smirking. "It's actually one of the Martial Union's most convenient way of making money. We get grants, donations, and fundraisers for different budget allocations every year from each sect. Since the Martial Sects are wealthy, they can contribute to their own fields if they wish to. You, too, can do the same. Especially since you've earned a large windfall recently."
The wealth that Rui had earned from the Martial Union was quite substantial and could be used to kick off the dissemination of his Martial Art.
Still, Rui had some doubts. "Once the initial dissemination of my techniques occurs. I won't have any work to do until many years later, correct?"
While there was certainly some effort that he needed to go through; creating diluted and simplified techniques with elements of his Martial Path, and participating in a lofty annual fiscal budget allocation meeting to lobby for his Martial Path, it was not something that required sustained effort. He needed to tend to it once, and then wait for Martial Artists with elements of adaptive evolution to start popping up all over the place.
And then, and only then, could he reap the rewards should he ever run into a bottleneck where he needed insight and inspiration from those who adopted Martial Art with dominant adaptive evolution elements to show him something that he hadn't seen before.
Of course, there also was the remuneration from the Martial Union and the Ministry of Martial Art for contributing to a future with a greater number of Martial Masters.
He could empower himself, the Kandrian Empire, the Martial Union, and the world of Martial Art with this measure. It was a win-win-win.
As a Martial Artist, he did not want to live in a world where the age of Martial Art ended because technology outgrew it. Although Martial Art was the dominant force, esoteric technology had walked, at most, a few steps behind Martial Art, keeping up with its growth rapidly.
Rui knew perhaps better than anyone in this wide world what science and technology were capable of even without esoteric substances, let alone combined with the sheer magic of esoteric substances. If the Panama Continent ever gained the titanic information technology of Earth, then not even Rui was confident that Martial Art could keep up.
The Hungry Pain technique and the spreading of adaptive evolution were things that would protect and secure the future of Martial Art. Doing so would be beneficial to his development as well, since if Martial Art remained the strongest, then fulfilling his ambition as a Martial Artist would be a lot more achievable.
"So be it, then," A hint of determination entered his voice. "I shall sow the seeds for a Martial Sect centered around adaptive evolution in the future. It shall be known as the Water Sect."
