163: Chapter 163 Major Systems, The Road Ahead

This discussion began with Wizard Merlin explaining the new Wizard system.

"Wizards use rational thinking to understand the world and analyze its principles.

We use spiritual power as a chisel to solidify first-ring spell models composed of transcendent law runes within the spiritual sea.

From 1 to 10 Life, I categorize this as 3 levels of Wizard Apprentice.

At this stage, one can learn my [Fire—Energy] spell model visualization diagram to hone the spirit and harmonize with Fire-element Vital Qi."

After speaking, Wizard Merlin released his aura of laws, transforming the Vital Qi with a Level 1 energy concentration in the area.

As it transformed into Fire-element Vital Qi, it appeared around his body.

The various transcendent beings all used their own investigative methods to observe the nature of this energy.

The Incarnation grasped a wisp of Fire-element Vital Qi in his hand and felt it carefully.

"Explosive and burning; the nature of this Fire-element Vital Qi is extremely volatile. For life forms without a certain level of cultivation or resistance, absorbing it rashly could even cause self-inflicted burns."

"No wonder it requires a visualization diagram to hone the spirit; I suspect it is also to make the physical body harmonize with this type of Vital Qi."

After everyone finished experiencing it, Wizard Merlin continued his explanation.

"Besides this, one must also cultivate and nurture a compatible magical artifact as early as possible to serve as a vessel for the laws when ascending to the transcendent realm."

With that, he summoned a first-tier low-grade staff artifact covered in red patterns.

The imagery of burning and energy was revealed upon it.

The various transcendent beings were somewhat surprised by this method of foundation establishment.

Li Feibai touched the longsword artifact in his hand, its inner Celestial Dharma Sword True Origin interweaving with the [True Martial Celestial Dharma Sword].

"This is somewhat similar to the methods for completing our martial path, but the core is vastly different."

Grandmaster Li Xiping replied.

"They focus primarily on the spirit and secondarily on Qi, while we focus primarily on Qi and secondarily on the essence, and the Gene Fusion System focuses primarily on the essence and secondarily on Qi."

The Incarnation spoke up at this moment.

"Perhaps on this basis, cultivators who establish their foundation with magical artifacts could pioneer the lineage of Sword Immortals. By converging the three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit into a single sword, the killing power would be extraordinary.

It is even possible that depending on the sword forged, one could create sword pellets, flying swords, dharma swords, or even treat one's own body as a scabbard to nurture a supreme Sword Qi capable of shattering all laws."

With these words spoken, the various transcendent beings were reminded of the Sword Immortal characters from those cultivation novels and mythological legends.

Lu Tianxin felt he had some talent in using the sword and pressed for more details.

"Master, is it possible to achieve this?"

"What is impossible? There is only whether or not you dare to imagine it.

If we want to pioneer a path from nothing, we must imagine boldly and verify cautiously.

Moreover, in the Milky Way Galaxy, there is already a cultivation system of the Bronze Human Race that uses artifacts as their life-bound treasures.

Perhaps there are also systems based on formation domains, medicinal pills, or talismans."

"Our [Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation Cultivator] also has shades of talismans, but my original design was more thorough and closer to the essence.

Everything we comprehend—principles, imagery, and law runes—can be reduced to transcendent law runes.

Therefore, we place greater emphasis on the cultivation of Dao practice and magic power; only when comprehension and magic power keep pace will all miraculous supernatural powers naturally manifest."

After Wizard Merlin finished speaking, Grandmaster Li Xiping explained the martial arts system: refining the skin, tendons, bones, blood, and organs; refining Qi; forming radiance; and then reaching True Origin and True Intent.

"I believe True Intent is the union of martial will and the laws of heaven and earth. Therefore, it possesses the ability to break through force fields, influence the patterns of heaven and earth, and remain eternal, constant, and ever-present."

"However, given the insignificance of one person compared to the infinite vastness of heaven and earth, it is ultimately a delusional fantasy."

Grandmaster Li Xiping still felt a lingering fear regarding his previous attempts.

If it hadn't been for Li Feibai standing guard, he might have truly been lost within the infinite laws.

"Therefore, if the laws of the great heaven and earth don't work, one can start small.

One can first merge with one's own transcendent laws, or even merge weaker supernatural laws with the principles of heaven and earth.

By honing oneself within this and ascending step by step, there will eventually come a day when, once one's own transcendent laws are perfected and can stand on par with heaven and earth, one will naturally achieve supreme True Intent."

"Therefore, I have further subdivided it here into Principle True Intent, Supernatural True Intent, Transcendent True Intent, and finally, Heaven and Earth True Intent.

In this way, the path is clear, and it can point out a bright path for those who come after."

The Incarnation had not expected that Grandmaster Li Xiping's talent in martial arts would be so peerless.

With these theories put forth, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a founding patriarch.

"Fellow Daoist Xiping's theory is truly incisive; he could well be the founding master of Martial True Intent."

The other transcendent beings nodded in agreement.

Immediately after, Lu Tianxin explained how she used the dharma sword to guide supernatural imagery.

"My supernatural power possesses the imagery of 'water dripping through stone,' from which I derive the intent to break through difficulties and obstacles. It is even more effective against rigid obstructions like force fields."

Chen Tianping then introduced to the transcendent beings how to use spiritual plants and spiritual medicines as sovereign, minister, assistant, and envoy to harmonize the medicinal properties of Kan and Li, and to assist in comprehending the principles of refining and creation.

The various transcendent beings listened intently to this explanation of refining and creation.

This is an extremely important method for handling various resources and balancing one's own three treasures in the future.

While the previously mentioned methods and theories were understandable to the transcendent beings of other systems,

when Ye Tianli spoke, it involved spell combinations, formation domain layouts, and rune arrangements that touched upon various cutting-edge theories of higher mathematics.

She even began calculating the mechanism of action for various energy particles within the first microscopic gate, specifically regarding the components of spiritual plants, spiritual medicines, and genetic medicinal properties. For the martial arts system, which lacks production capabilities, it sounded like gibberish.

Fortunately, Ye Tianli also knew that without foundational knowledge in this area, it would be difficult to understand. She only spoke about the general research directions and cutting-edge knowledge currently being pursued by the Advanced Research Institute.

Finally, the Incarnation stood up to broaden the horizons for everyone.

A mysterious sound was heard, drifting into the hearts of everyone.

"Heaven and earth contain ten thousand types of Qi; infinite principles exist within this realm.

Refine 108 wisps to form Innate Qi; marvelous methods will appear, and principles will emerge.

In the world, there are thousands of images; they are the collection of laws and constitute the first manifestation.

Therefore, forge a Dao foundation to carry its Dao, and transcendence shall exist.

When transcendence is achieved, supernatural powers are born. Be it Innate, True Martial, or Innate Talent.

Build three Dao foundations to ascend, refine the Yin Spirit, enter the Zifu, and roam the world; this is the carefree Rogue Immortal."

Zifu True Person Tianhe was clarifying everything at once—from refining the ten thousand Qi to forging the imagery Dao foundation, and ascending into the Zifu—to broaden everyone's horizons.

"There is the legend of Peng Zu living for 800 years, and in ancient times, there was the Great Dachun tree, which took eight thousand years as a spring and eight thousand years as an autumn."

"Today, our Dao Foundation Cultivators have a lifespan of 800 years, and the future Zifu True Persons will have eight thousand years of spring and autumn."

...

At the same time, a warship far away in the Dark Universe outside Blue Star was also silently observing this place.

Savage listened to Tianhe's discourse on the transcendent system and was somewhat surprised.

"I didn't expect this Zifu True Person Tianhe to already have conjectures on how to ascend to the intermediate stage.

This transcendent path generally offers longevity; newly pioneered systems rarely possess figures like 800 or 8,000."

Based on the current statistics of the entire Milky Way Galaxy regarding the lifespans of various tiers of transcendent systems, excluding some species with special longevity or short lifespans,

most transcendent systems fall between 500–1,000 and 5,000–10,000 years.

"And generally speaking, the longer the lifespan and the more perfect the system, the weaker the ultimate combat power might be."
