Chapter 2159 Potential Political Power
Things like mass Apprentice breakthroughs, Martial Heart, and Martial Mind breakthroughs were downright priceless as an asset. He didn't trust the integrity of the Panamic Martial Federation to withstand the force of the greed of the constituents to suspend the rules with some bullshit excuse to break open the secrets that lay within his mind.
However, it did make him wonder.
'Just how much legislative power would I get if I did contribute these services to Panamic Martial Federation?' He couldn't help but wonder as he admired the extensive Martial infrastructure that spread out across the entire tectonic plate.
He suspected that he would be able to drown out legislative authority dozens if not hundreds of Martial Masters.
This was not him being arrogant, but more so an objective evaluation of the value of the kinds of services that he was able to offer to the world. He could forever accelerate the growth trajectory of any nation far beyond their wildest dreams. He could give them power that they could dream of by drastically increasing the rate of breakthroughs to several Realms.
If he wanted, he could leave his mark in the Martial World by increasing the Martial power of the Panamic Martial Federation to such a degree that the political power he would gain within the halls of the organization would far dwarf that of other Martial Masters allowing him to veto the voices of his peers and singlehandedly decide all laws that the Master Council was authorized to.
Of course, he highly doubted that such a thing would be practically possible in reality. Surely, the Sage Council would step in and prevent Rui from autocratically dominating the Master Council deliberations with his personal political power.
After all, the power of the Master Council was authorized by the Sage Council. While the latter only decided the broad direction that the Martial World ought to look like, it authorized the Master Council to handle the rest.
Thus, his authority could essentially be revoked by the Sage Council if it deemed to do so.
The Martial Citadel had the highest Martial population density he had ever seen anywhere in the world. Never before had he seen so many Martial Artists gather in one place. Furthermore, any humans that were there were merely there in a position service for Martial Artists.
Rui had no doubt that each and every one of them had been thoroughly scanned by Martial Masters and Sages for ill intent against the Federation or Martial Artists at large. He was certain that they put in extra effort into making it almost impossible for the Beggar's Sect to stretch its tentacles into the Panamic Martial Federation.
After all, there was a clear class conflict between the Beggar's Sage and the Panamic Martial Federation. While the Federation did instate policies that sought to minimize the friction between human civilization and Martial Art, that was purely for the sake of Martial Art and not people.
Ultimately, it was still a Martialocratic organization that existed solely for the sake of Martial Art. Considering that the Beggar's Sage was essentially omnipresent within human civilization, it was questionable to what degree they had succeeded in isolating the Federation from the eyes and ears of the Beggar's Sect.
The way that his father and the Sage Council of the Martial Union had overcome this particular problem was to isolate the workers from the rest of human civilization forever. Furthermore, the manifold prevented any communication between the workers within the manifold and the Beggar's Sect.
However, given that they did not isolate communication, he wondered just how secure the Martial Citadel was from the Beggar Sage.
He knew that man was not to be underestimated just by virtue of having spent time with the Divine Doctor. If the man was as adept in his field of information and intelligence as the Divine Doctor was in medicine, then he was not to be trifled with.
He heaved a sigh, shrugging lightly.
It was none of his concern. He was sure that the Panamic Martial Federation had deeply considered this problem and probably instated many security policies to reinforce its intelligence security. He was more interested in indulging in everything that the Martial Citadel at the center of the headquarters of the Panamic Martial Federation.
"I can't wait to check this place out."
