Chapter 473 Ridiculous, Pitiful, and Regrettable
Next is the appointment ceremony, formally announced by Su Hao one by one.
Under the statue, Su Hao’s voice was full of dignity, his attitude serious, not to be refused, assigning corresponding responsibilities to each position.
From this moment on, the seven people present, in addition to their original identities as disciples of the Yunzhong Valley, also had another bond, which was the responsibility from the ‘Starry Sky Cultivation Technology Academy’.
Yashan served as vice president, also responsible for teaching “Social Cognition” and “Cultivation History and Change” courses.
Feng Hua served as the director of teaching, also responsible for teaching “Cultivation Basics”.
Feng Yan served as the deputy director of teaching, also responsible for teaching “Mechanics and Formations and Productivity”.
Feng Ling served as the disciplinary officer, unable to teach anything.
Feng Cheng served as the instructor of “Techniques and Spiritual Power”.
Feng Yuer served as the instructor of “Beauty of Nature and Spiritual Power” and “Algebra and Geometry”.
Yun Qingping served as the instructor of “Material Chemistry” and “Physics Exploration”.
After the announcement, Su Hao looked at Feng Hua and Feng Yan, smiling, and said, “Director Feng Hua, Director Feng Yan, what stage have your cultivations reached now?”
Feng Hua shook his head and said, “Stuck at the fourth level of the Golden Core, ‘Golden Firmness’, still exploring ‘Spiritual Sense’, but unable to enter.”
Feng Yan also said, “Me too.”
Su Hao said, “Tomorrow, you two go find Director Yue Ying. Let him help you find ‘Spiritual Sense’ and break through the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible.”
Feng Hua and Feng Yan were shocked to hear this, looking at Yashan incredulously, “Spiritual Sense can still help find it? And breaking through the Nascent Soul stage?”
Su Hao nodded seriously and said, “That’s right! At the latest within three years, it can help you break through the Nascent Soul stage.”
Feng Hua and Feng Yan both knew that since Su Hao said so, it must be true!
The astonishment on their faces grew stronger and stronger, unable to help but exchange a glance.
They had confirmed that what they had cultivated for so many years must be false immortality without a doubt!
At this moment, Feng Ling jumped out and asked, “Feng Wei, what about me? I also want to break through to the Golden Core stage! Can you help me?”
Su Hao asked, “Has the master prepared to draw the spiritual power structure of the five viscera?”
Feng Ling helplessly said, “I’ve practiced countless times, but I still can’t find the sensation of the five viscera. Even if I draw it out, it’s useless, so I dare not break through.”
Su Hao turned to look at Feng Yuer and Yun Qingping and asked, “Are you two the same?”
Feng Yuer and Yun Qingping nodded, “Indeed, without certainty, we dare not act recklessly.”
Su Hao understood and then pondered for a moment before saying, “The three of you, for the next month, adjust your physical condition first, prepare to draw the spiritual power structure at any time, and then wait for Yue Ying to find you. Within at most two months, you will be able to break through to the Golden Core stage.”
Feng Ling just casually asked, but didn’t expect that Su Hao really had a way to help them break through to the Golden Core stage. For a moment, she showed a joyful expression!
She didn’t have the stubbornness of ‘I’ll rely on myself’ at all. She didn’t want to sit still every day, searching for that elusive ‘sensation of the five viscera’. Not to mention the sore butt, the key was that she had no clue at all. For her, daily cultivation was simply torture.
She wasn’t afraid of cultivation; she was afraid of making no progress year after year!
Feng Yuer and Yun Qingping were the same. Both of them were not the kind of people who had to prove their strength. Maybe they were before, but not anymore. Could anyone be stronger than Su Hao?
So, what’s the point of proving oneself? It’s better to spend more time learning some knowledge. Recently, the article on spiritual power research sent by Teacher Yue Ying had shocked them, but they hadn’t had time to study and digest it properly yet.
As soon as Feng Yuer heard that Su Hao could help them break through to the Golden Core stage, her first reaction was surprise, followed by doubt: How could Feng Wei help them find the ‘sensation of the five viscera’?
The key was, the five viscera were her own. If she couldn’t find them herself, how could others find them?
Feng Yuer looked at Su Hao, her eyes sparkling, and thought to herself, “How smart is Feng Wei after all? It always feels like there’s nothing he can’t do!”
Helping Feng Ling and the others find the rhythm of the five viscera was not difficult for Su Hao. It would take at most half a month to figure out a solution.
Su Hao thought to himself, “If they can’t find it, it’s okay. Change the approach, adjust the rhythm of the five viscera, and then actively find them, isn’t that better?”
As long as one’s mind doesn’t slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
…
Half a month later, Su Hao successfully developed a version of the “Five Viscera Coordinating Amplifier” rune, which could amplify the rhythm of the five viscera by more than ten times and could continue to enhance it.
With this, if Feng Ling and the others still couldn’t find the sensation of the five viscera, Su Hao wouldn’t bother!
Just as Su Hao was about to continue developing the spiritual power calculator, a prompt came from a small black room in the pinball space.
Su Hao opened it and saw a message from the big cat arranged by the Immortal Master.
The voice of the Immortal Master came: “Friend Jia Wei, I have completed the breakthrough. It can be considered a success, but also a failure. For the specifics, Friend Jia Wei can personally come and check.”
After seven years, the Immortal Master finally completed the breakthrough, two years slower than expected.
However, what did the Immortal Master mean by success, and what did failure entail?
“Let’s go and see.”
After checking the information about Immortal Master in pinball space and finding nothing special, Su Hao transformed into a [Child of Fate] and, using the Immortal Master as a coordinate, teleported to his side.
As soon as he appeared, he saw the Immortal Master waiting on the side.
The Immortal Master could hardly conceal his joy when he saw Su Hao in his tall golden armor. He even greeted him actively, “Friend Jia Wei, your demeanor remains unchanged!”
Su Hao asked, “What’s the result?”
The Immortal Master raised his hand, and a faint purple light circulated on it, faintly visible. He said, “According to the plan, I repeatedly superimposed spiritual power in the ‘Unity – Nascent Soul – Unity – Nascent Soul’ stages, using up the fifty-eight bodies of Unity spiritual power collected before plus one monster, and adding my own spiritual power. In total, I superimposed four layers, reaching the limit, and there’s nothing more to add.
The spiritual power in my body has now reached an unimaginable level. It can be said that in this state, I am firmly above Unity, almost reaching half of the ‘Cycle Realm’.”
Su Hao asked, “Then why do you say it’s a failure?”
The Immortal Master sighed and said, “My body is about to reach its limit. Although I forcibly piled up to this extent using a large amount of spiritual power, I can feel that my lifespan hasn’t fundamentally increased. It seems that two thousand five hundred years is already the limit of life.
Moreover, if I don’t actively refine spiritual power, my spiritual power will gradually dissipate. It’s very subtle, but I can perceive it. It can be imagined that as time goes by, this dissipation will accelerate. When I can no longer stop it, it will collapse like an avalanche, and that will be my end.
However, being able to explore the limit of life to this extent, I have no regrets in this life! It’s a pity…”
This kind of result was almost as Su Hao had expected.
It was inevitable to gain stronger power, but extending lifespan might not necessarily work. No matter how powerful the spiritual power was, it would still be limited by the physical body. After the body decayed, even the most powerful spiritual power would be like water without a source, eventually drying up.
Therefore, Su Hao became more certain that spiritual power was definitely not the main path to immortality. It was just a bridge, a tool, a tool used to explore the long-lasting consciousness.
Su Hao said, “What a pity.”
The Immortal Master looked at Su Hao and suddenly smiled, “Friend Jia Wei, if I hadn’t met you, it would have been more perfe! Because in that case, reaching my current level, I would think that this is the way to cultivate immortality. In two hundred years, I could die perfectly.
Now, although I have achieved the goal that I have been pursuing all along, I have found that I was wrong from the beginning. Everything I have done is meaningless. Even with such powerful strength, I still can’t defeat you, a mere Nascent Soul friend. It’s ridiculous, pitiful, and lamentable.”
Su Hao also smiled rarely, “I always thought that Friend Immortal Master was a person who single-mindedly pursued the Great Dao, but unexpectedly, you have such a sentimental side. As for whether I can defeat you… Heh, do you want to try?”
The Immortal Master shook his head and said, “No need. I know in my heart, and besides, I am already a person without a goal. It’s all meaningless!”
Since that was the case, Su Hao boldly made an unreasonable request, “Friend Immortal Master, may I investigate the changes in your body now?”
