Chapter 474 Is this a low-level technique?
Su Hao was about to start collecting information about the immortal master’s body, and the immortal master did not refuse, gladly accepting Su Hao’s exploration.
Firstly, this advanced ‘cycle realm’ technique was jointly modified by Su Hao and him. Initially, it was also said that they would share each other’s cultivation information. Secondly, if Su Hao could go further on the path of cultivating immortality and pave a correct path, he would also be happy to see it happen.
The immortal master was born into a group of mining slaves from Lingsha Continent. When he embarked on the path of cultivating immortality, he vowed to change this world and free the ‘mining slaves’ who were not treated as human beings. However, as time passed and he encountered more and more things, he found that changing the world became increasingly distant and seemed like an unattainable delusion.
The long passage of time made him forget his initial purpose, even forgetting his own name, becoming someone who pursued longevity with all his heart.
However, deep down, he still hoped for a better world. He hoped that cultivating immortality could truly make him an immortal, truly manifesting the profound meaning of ‘immortality,’ and truly reaching the beautiful realm that everyone yearned for.
Instead of the current situation where the existence of the immortal sect was only for the convenience of plundering the same origin spiritual power and breaking through to the integrated realm.
The immortal master sighed inwardly, “Breaking through the Unity realm by plundering and killing is indeed not the right way of cultivating immortality. The cultivation world is divided into righteous and demonic paths, each accusing the other. One says the other wantonly harms living beings, while the other says the other is extremely hypocritical with a human face and a beast’s heart. In fact, the essence of both sides is similar.”
Looking at the tall crystal-armored man beside him who was lost in thought, he said, “Friend Jia Wei, is he the one who will break through all of this? Can he find the right path of cultivating immortality? Even if he does, I won’t be able to see it, will I? I only have about two hundred years of life left.”
At this moment, Su Hao looked up and said, “Friend Immortal Master, actually, achieving the ‘cycle realm’ can extend your lifespan. However, your physical body is extremely weak now, so this extension seems minimal. But in my calculations, if you breakthrough to five hundred years earlier, you will gain an additional five hundred years of life.”
The immortal master said, “A few hundred more years are meaningless.”
Su Hao smiled, “Don’t underestimate five hundred years. The power that can be unleashed with five hundred years of focused learning is beyond imagination.”
The immortal master also smiled, “I am now over two thousand years old, having experienced at least four five-hundred-year cycles, but I have never realized how powerful five hundred years can be.”
Su Hao said, “This is the limitation of the times. In another hundred years, you’ll see this world! The changes that occur will surpass the sum of the four five-hundred-year cycles you’ve experienced.”
Su Hao, who had gained all the information from the immortal master, learned about another way to advance in spiritual power, feeling pleased. Then he remembered that the immortal master still had two hundred years of life left…
Su Hao said, “Friend Immortal Master, would you like to accompany me outside for a look?”
The immortal master nodded, “Why not.”
Su Hao flew out of the immortal master’s palace, arriving at a deserted mountain, followed by the immortal master who arrived shortly after and stopped by Su Hao’s side, waiting to see what Su Hao would do next.
Su Hao said, “Friend Immortal Master, watch my technique first!”
After speaking, Su Hao extended a finger, and the tip of his finger burst into golden light, gently tapping.
‘Wind Bullet’!
A thin beam of light shot out from Su Hao’s hand, shining on the distant mountains.
The dazzling golden light shone on the distant mountains, causing the earth to suddenly tremble, thick mud and rocks rolled up, surrounding objects collapsed and flew out, dust and smoke billowed, quickly obscuring the view.
It wasn’t until this moment that the deafening sound reached this place.
“Boom—”
Su Hao withdrew his finger and turned to look at the bewildered immortal master, asking, “How powerful is this Qi Induction technique of mine?”
The immortal master was discerning. When Su Hao used the technique, he immediately recognized it as an ordinary low-level technique, just launching an ordinary spiritual power bullet! He could also…
Then the immortal master couldn’t say anything!
If this was a low-level spell, he would have just swallowed this spiritual power bullet!
At this moment, two streaks of light flew out from afar and stopped on the left and right sides of the immortal master, cautiously watching Su Hao. It was Lin Mei and Lichi. They were both alarmed by Su Hao’s Wind Bullet and ran out to investigate.
The immortal master waved his hand to signal the two not to be nervous, then said, “Friend Jia Wei, I don’t understand this technique of yours.”
Su Hao said, “It’s based on my understanding of spiritual power. The quality of the spiritual power I’ve cultivated is much higher than yours. It’s the result of my efforts over the past few years. Are you interested, friend Immortal Master?”
The immortal master said, “Very interested.”
Su Hao extended his hand formally and invited, “Work for me for two hundred years, until death, and my knowledge of spiritual power will be open to you, absolutely broadening your horizons, showing you a different world of spiritual power.”
The immortal master looked at the thickening smoke in the distance, then at the mysterious crystal-armored figure in front of him, and fell into thought, “What else do I have to do in the remaining two hundred years?”
Lin Mei and Lichi were anxiously waiting on the side, inwardly pleading, “Reject him, reject him…”
Under the despairing gaze of Lin Mei and Lichi, the immortal master nodded, “Alright. But…”
The immortal master’s gaze shifted to Lin Mei and Lichi.
Su Hao smiled, “They can be excluded. I’m not interested in them, nor do I need them to work for me. I don’t lack mere thugs.”
The immortal master smiled, while Lin Mei and Lichi stared blankly at Su Hao, hardly believing that such words were said to them, two dignified unity realm cultivators!
Someone actually said they were useless in front of them? If it weren’t for the fact that they couldn’t beat him, the two of them would have immediately risen up and sent this madman who dared to speak such words into the dust.
Su Hao ignored their reactions and said to the immortal master, “Then I’ll be leave. After handling personal matters, come find me!”
After speaking, he teleported away from the place.
After Su Hao left, the immortal master said to Lin Mei and Lichi, “Lin Mei, Lichi, I have now reached a whole new realm, the cycle realm, and possess powerful strength. However, I can neither become invincible nor increase my lifespan much. I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
The three fell silent. Lichi asked, “What about Avenging Hatred?”
The immortal master shook his head in silence.
Regardless of one’s inner thoughts, there were some things that simply couldn’t be achieved.
For life and death, the immortal master had long been indifferent and resigned. You kill him, I kill you… it’s all a cycle, irrelevant to good or evil, meaningless in the face of time.
But the immortal master also understood the pain of losing a dear friend, so he couldn’t console Lichi. In the face of such pain, all words seemed frivolous and inadequate.
Perhaps only the blood of the Crystal Thief can quell this hatred.
But can one obtain the blood of the Crystal Thief?
The immortal master shook his head. He couldn’t, and he couldn’t imagine who could.
Finally, the immortal master said in a deep voice, “Lichi, if you want to kill him, I won’t stop you. But I hope you understand, even as someone in the ‘cycle realm,’ I can’t do it. So, if you want to defeat him, first understand him. Consider seeking revenge for Avenging Hatred only after you become stronger than him.”
The immortal master knew that Lichi understood his meaning. After all, the three of them, who had grown into world-class unity realm cultivators, had experienced countless killings. They all understood the principle of ‘the weak have no right to resist, no right to be angry.’
‘Anger’ was just a helpless expression!
Lichi fell silent, clenching his fists tightly, his veins bulging.
Lin Mei asked, “Immortal master, what about you? Are you really going to leave with that Crystal Thief?”
The immortal master nodded, “Yes, I’m just curious and want to take a look! But, wait a few more years. In these years, I want to travel around, experience the world as an ordinary person, and see what this world is really like!”
Although he had lived for over two thousand years, he had never stopped striving to become stronger, nor had he ever taken a good look at the full picture of this world.
Lin Mei sighed deeply, “Immortal master, I’ll accompany you!”
Then she turned to look at Lichi.
Lichi remained silent, casting a deep glance at the two of them before turning into a streak of light and disappearing into the distance.
…
After returning to the laboratory, Su Hao entered the Pinball Space and carefully analyzed the immortal master’s body data.
From the immortal master’s body, Su Hao obtained a very important piece of information: the immortal master’s physical vitality was almost depleted, but his mind remained very clear and agile.
What did this mean?
It meant that spiritual power, to some extent, had replaced the medium for brain thinking.
In other words, Su Hao’s idea of using spiritual power as a springboard to free consciousness from bodily constraints was possible.
It was like a raw egg. Without the protection of the eggshell, it would spoil, but if the egg was cooked first and then peeled, it wouldn’t spoil!
So now the question was: “How to cook the ‘consciousness’ protected within the body?”
Su Hao made various hypotheses and attempts in the Pinball Space, finally turning his gaze to nature, murmuring, “How can guessing blindly lead to conclusions? Experiments must be done! I currently lack sufficient consciousness experiment samples, so I need to go out and collect some.”
Every day in this world, countless people were on the brink of death, and there were plenty of suitable experimental samples!
Anyway, they were all going to die. Was it excessive to borrow their consciousness for a bit?
If successful, he could revive them, and everyone would be happy!
