Chapter 467 Playing Different Games
Are the three Unity Realm cultivators angry?
Naturally, they are angry, but due to their insufficient strength, their anger cannot be fully expressed. Just as it was about to flare up, they were hit by the opponent’s red and blue rays…
They no longer want to experience that dizzying feeling of losing direction!
After the crystal thief who called himself Jia Wei took away the corpses of Unity Realm cultivators they had collected for many years, their dreams collapsed.
Are dreams so easily shattered?
Yes, they are. In the face of cruel reality, so-called dreams are indeed very fragile.
Ambition may be lofty, but it cannot withstand a knife at the throat.
The Nascent Soul realm mentioned by Su Hao is undoubtedly so in spiritual perception, but how could the three of them be pushed to this extent by a Nascent Soul cultivator?
The Immortal Master said, “Friend Jia Wei, you’re joking!”
Su Hao retorted, “Do you think I like to joke?”
The Immortal Master was momentarily speechless.
Su Hao continued, “I am indeed a Nascent Soul cultivator, there’s no need to lie about that. You must be very curious why you were defeated by a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like me, right?”
The expressions of the Immortal Master and the others gradually became serious. If what this Jia Wei said was true, then the hidden information within…
Unintentional associations made their scalps tingle.
The Immortal Master looked at the tall armored figure not far away and couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”
Su Hao casually waved, and an universal knife appeared in front of the Immortal Master. Su Hao said, “It seems like your array formations are quite good. This is a tool I refined, take a look.”
The Immortal Master took it, and as the green light of the universal knife dissipated, he examined it carefully. After injecting spiritual power and carefully sensing its internal structure, his spirit shook, his eyes widened in disbelief, and for the first time, he lost his composure and exclaimed incredulously, “How… is this possible, to achieve such a level!”
The internal structure was so intricate that it was beyond imagination, every bit of space was used rationally, chaotic yet orderly, crowded yet neat, and among the various refined structures, they could form various array formations.
This was something he had never seen or heard of before.
Not to mention the array formations, just the exquisite structure inside was beyond his imagination!
Yes, it’s not a matter of whether it can be done or not, he hadn’t even thought about it!
Su Hao casually waved again, and the second and third flying swords stopped in front of the Immortal Master one by one. The Immortal Master endured the tremendous shock in his heart, took them, and examined them one by one, but couldn’t utter a word.
After a moment, he sighed deeply, “It’s not unjust to lose!”
Lin Mei curiously asked, “Immortal Master, what’s going on?”
The Immortal Master shook his head and said, “Forget it! It’s not that we couldn’t beat him, but rather, we don’t even have the qualification to be his opponents. We’re not playing the same game…”
The Immortal Master said again, “There’s something I don’t understand. Since Friend Jia Wei is so powerful, why hasn’t he broken through the Unity Realm yet?”
Su Hao smiled and said, “Unity Realm? Are you talking about that kind of breakthrough achieved by plundering the same source of spiritual power? The path has already been wrong, there is simply no future. Why would I want to break through?”
The minds of the three Immortal Masters were shaken again. “The path is wrong?”
If this had been said before, he would never have believed it, but after seeing Su Hao’s universal knife, he couldn’t help but believe it to some extent.
After some communication, Su Hao finally understood the purpose of the Immortal Masters and others.
In short, it was to break through to a higher level beyond the Unity Realm, or, of course, to obtain a longer lifespan.
According to the Immortal Master himself, his body was nearing exhaustion, with probably only over two hundred years of lifespan left. He must make a breakthrough within two hundred years, or he would vanish in the blink of an eye.
Two hundred years were too short for them.
After many years of study and research, the Immortal Master had a very thorough understanding of spiritual power. Referring to the thoughts of his predecessors, he had devised a method to reach a higher realm.
Based on the principle of the ‘Red Spring Refining Spirit Liquid,’ he arranged the ‘Spirit Refining Great Array,’ thoroughly refining his own vast and chaotic Unity Realm spiritual power into a unity, forming a unique ‘Nascent Soul Realm.’
Then, by gathering a huge amount of spiritual power, repeating the steps of the Unity Realm, constructing a new ‘Soul Locking Array,’ breaking through to the ‘Unity Realm,’ and then arranging the ‘Spirit Refining Great Array’ again to refine into ‘Nascent Soul.’
In this way, continuously cycling between ‘Unity Realm’ – ‘Nascent Soul’ – ‘Unity Realm’ – ‘Nascent Soul’ until there was nothing left to refine.
In the Immortal Master’s imagination, the ultimate in refinement would inevitably lead to a new realm, which he tentatively called the ‘Cycle Realm.’
As for whether it would ultimately succeed, he didn’t know, but he planned to try it himself.
If it failed, he had a second plan, which was the ‘External Spiritual Power Soul Locking Array.’
In other words, if the internal spiritual power reached its peak and still couldn’t reach a new realm to extend his lifespan, he would continue to construct a new spiritual power cycle externally…
The core idea was infinite accumulation!
After listening, Su Hao just wanted to say, “Damn, that’s brilliant, this is true genius!”
You can’t underestimate the wisdom of any world’s humans!
Indeed, wisdom only sparks when colliding. After a conversation with the Immortal Master, Su Hao flashed with new inspiration.
After carefully analyzing the Immortal Master’s ideas, Su Hao nodded in agreement, and then shook his head.
The Immortal Master asked, “What, you don’t agree with my viewpoint?”
Su Hao said, “I agree with your method of prolonging life, but this approach will never achieve eternity. Whether it’s a thousand more years or ten thousand more years, fundamentally, there’s no difference. Time passes, and everything will eventually fade away.”
The Immortal Master said, “If successful, as long as I maintain my spiritual power, my essence will remain immortal. Isn’t that eternity?”
Su Hao said, “Do you know where that monster came from?”
The Immortal Master said, “I have investigated, and I speculate it’s the combination of the Six Masters from the Yunzhong Valley.”
Su Hao said, “That should be correct. Then you should know that simply stacking spiritual power is useless. Without solving the fundamental problem of ‘consciousness,’ it’s difficult to achieve true eternity.”
Theoretically speaking, as long as there is a continuous supply of spiritual power, that monster can exist indefinitely. But the problem is, it has lost its ability to think, only having the instinct to devour spiritual power. What’s the use of that?
Then Su Hao continued, “Moreover, where do we find a continuous supply of spiritual power? It can still be obtained through plundering now, but what about someday in the future when the spiritual energy dissipates?”
The Immortal Master frowned, “What should we do then?”
Su Hao said, “The eternity of spiritual power and your own eternity are not necessarily connected. Once you separate the two, it’s easy to find direction. You are you, and spiritual power is spiritual power. Your core goal should be your own thinking, not spiritual power as a tool! You rely too much on spiritual power, and by now, you’ve probably gone down the wrong path! Frantically stacking spiritual power inside and outside the body is just superficial cultivation.”
The Immortal Master was stunned, murmuring, “I am me, spiritual power is spiritual power…”
After saying a bunch, Su Hao’s actual expression was: Anyway, you guys are wrong, as for what to do, I don’t know either, but if you want to know more, you have to exchange knowledge for it!
The Immortal Master is also an extremely intelligent person. He saw a different way of thinking in Su Hao. There was something he wanted from this Jia Wei, perhaps providing him with a completely new breakthrough solution.
The only downside was that the crystal armored figure was too strong, he couldn’t defeat it.
Usually, if he wanted something, he would just take it. Now that he couldn’t, he would have to negotiate!
So, Su Hao and the Immortal Master reached a preliminary cooperation intention.
Data sharing, equivalent exchange.
This means that the research results of spiritual power are shared by both sides, and to obtain specific knowledge from the other party, you need to exchange it with knowledge of equal value.
Both sides have clear objectives, with their own needs, but without conflicts, this is a win-win situation.
The only losers were probably the dozens of Unity Realm cultivators lying still, or perhaps the other immortal sects in this world.
This destined the future pattern of the cultivation world to be completely changed. The beneficiaries now might not necessarily be the beneficiaries in the future.
By the end of the discussion, Su Hao and the Immortal Master became increasingly in sync, having long forgotten their previous life-and-death struggle.
Only Lin Mei and Lichi remained silent, their thoughts unknown.
Finally, the Immortal Master said, “Friend Jia Wei, no matter what, I still want to personally try out my previous ideas. I hope you will return those more than fifty living corpses.”
Su Hao smiled, “Of course.”
With that said, he waved his hand, and fifty-eight living corpses appeared one by one, and finally, the monster was also sent back.
Su Hao added, “I want to participate in your experiment.”
The Immortal Master nodded, “Sure.”
