143: Chapter 143 The Nine Revolutions Soul Refining Path
New Blue Star.
Tianjing.
Dome Martial Arts Academy.
At this moment, over a hundred figures were standing on the playground.
And right now, Ji Yebai was standing among them.
The Dome Martial Arts Academy was the first Martial Arts Academy established by humanity after arriving on this planet.
It possessed the largest library.
And Ji Yebai had taken a liking to this point; it just so happened that this Martial Arts Academy was hiring.
He applied for the position of library administrator.
Relying on his cultivation, he coincidentally passed through layers of assessments and steadily became a library administrator.
At this moment, it was the induction meeting for this batch of recruits.
"The Dome Martial Arts Academy is the first Martial Arts Academy after the human migration. It has a profound foundation, and you should all be grateful to be employed here!"
"All of you, work hard!"
"Don't bring in any bad habits!"
On the podium, the stern-faced director said loudly.
Ji Yebai looked at this scene and suddenly smiled knowingly.
Humanity, whether it was over three hundred years ago or now, whether it was back on Blue Star or on this planet, some things never changed.
The induction meeting lasted for over an hour.
"Alright, everyone, your IDs have been issued, so please proceed to your respective posts!"
In the end, the director announced the end of the meeting.
Led by some people, Ji Yebai and the group walked toward the library.
The Dome Martial Arts Academy's library was the largest library, so naturally, it wouldn't just recruit Ji Yebai as an administrator.
This time, a total of ten people were recruited.
And this was just for this recruitment drive.
If one counted the administrators already working, the entire Dome Martial Arts Academy had over a hundred library administrators.
After all, the Dome Martial Arts Academy had millions of students.
The library area was also very large; if there were too few administrators, it would be impossible to manage.
Soon, the group arrived at the library.
As one of the existing facades of the Dome Martial Arts Academy, the library was naturally very magnificent.
The area of each floor was extremely vast.
In the end, Ji Yebai was assigned to the history section.
Here, various historical materials from the past three hundred years were stored.
Ji Yebai had come specifically for the library.
He had been disconnected from society for too long.
He didn't know about too many things, and reading books was the fastest way to resolve this.
Now that he was assigned to the history section, he felt quite satisfied.
He would start by reading history books.
In this Universe, cultivation was prevalent.
Especially after life evolved into the Saint-Grade, it could survive in the Universe and control Laws.
Technology was basically useless for creatures at this level.
Even if it had some use, it was of very little use.
For instance, there had been civilizations that developed star-destroying warships, or even phase bombs, capable of easily destroying planets.
But unfortunately, such bombs were of little use.
Such weapons capable of threatening the Saint-Grade would trigger the Spiritual Sense of Saint-Grade lifeforms just by getting close.
The moment they discovered it, they could destroy the bomb through Laws.
Conversely.
When Saint-Grade lifeforms invaded their vicinity, they could not detect them.
Therefore, when technology developed to a certain level and posed a threat, most of those civilizations were destroyed.
Unless this civilization possessed its own Saint-Grade.
Because of this, the mainstream in the Universe was cultivation.
The current New Blue Star was the same.
Technology was secondary, while cultivation was primary.
This also resulted in the current library having all books related to martial arts in paper versions.
Because paper could carry Mental Energy and Concepts.
Martial arts Secret Manuals recorded on paper could allow observers to more easily comprehend Concepts.
Ji Yebai looked at the endless bookshelves before him and smiled.
He didn't read directly.
Instead, he found his seat and began today's work.
He placed the returned books back to their original places one by one according to their numbers.
Then he identified the damaged books, and even cleaned the place.
This was Ji Yebai's main job.
Picking up a stack of books, Ji Yebai started searching according to the numbers.
He tried his best to work in the way of an ordinary person.
As for cultivation.
At this moment, for Ji Yebai, there was no need to pay too much attention to it.
His body and flesh seemed to have undergone some unknown change.
This change was currently weakening, but it was still constantly changing.
He could feel that deep within his flesh, specks of Law power were condensing.
Law power was a type of world Origin power.
And what was very subtle was that even if Ji Yebai only grasped a little bit, he could use that bit to interfere with and leverage the world's massive Laws, thereby causing huge destruction in the real world.
From Ji Yebai's perspective, this was simply an expanded version of quantum entanglement.
Time passed.
Ji Yebai was immersed in it.
Once he finished his work, he would pick up a book and begin to immerse himself in it.
Immersed in the intense changes of the past three hundred years.
From peace to war, from war to seeking cosmic development, from the Void Land to the normal Universe.
The changes within this could be described as tumultuous.
Ji Yebai had missed these, but looking at these materials, he could also feel that turbulence.
Immersed in this state, a month passed quickly.
On this day, Ji Yebai picked up a book, and it made him freeze.
"Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path!"
Ji Yebai opened the manual, and Bai Zhu's name appeared before his eyes.
This was Bai Zhu's work.
Ji Yebai began to flip through it.
Upon reading this, Ji Yebai's eyes lit up.
This was the cultivation path created by Bai Zhu after he broke through to the Life and Death Realm.
It was, up to now, the only Cultivation Technique that explained the essence of Life and Death Realm cultivation.
Currently, all Life and Death Realm Martial Artists followed this cultivation path.
"Nine-Turn Soul Refining..."
Ji Yebai's thoughts fluctuated.
From this book, he understood Bai Zhu's martial arts path.
The Xiantian Realm strengthened the Divine Sense, and when the Divine Sense was strong enough, it could be used to stimulate the cells, beginning a transformation from a deep level.
At this point, one ascended to the Life and Death Realm.
And upon reaching the Life and Death Realm, nine turns were required.
Each turn involved fusing consciousness into a portion of the flesh.
According to Bai Zhu's deduction and hypothesis, after nine times, one could fuse consciousness into the flesh, thereby allowing the flesh to undergo an all-around transformation.
By this, it would also trigger the fourth sublimation and leap of life.
The first time, becoming a Martial Artist, birthing the Divine Brave Body;
The second time, becoming Xiantian, birthing the Treasured Body;
The third time, achieving the Life and Death Realm, stimulating the vitality of the flesh;
The fourth time, which was what Cosmic Civilizations called the Saint-Grade, accommodating the power of Laws.
"Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path, it truly lives up to Bai Zhu's reputation!"
Ji Yebai sighed with emotion.
This work pointed directly to the core of Life and Death Realm cultivation.
It explained the path clearly and plainly.
"Then what is my cultivation level now?!"
Ji Yebai rubbed his chin.
His current cultivation had already surpassed the records in this Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path.
And according to the descriptions of the Saint-Grade in Cosmic Civilizations in the records, he seemed to be lacking a little bit.
Sensing the changes deep within his body, Ji Yebai nodded.
Perhaps he was undergoing a transformation.
"Saint-Grade... could it be that I am even stronger than Bai Zhu now!?"
Ji Yebai was a bit surprised.
According to information learned previously, Bai Zhu was currently at the eighth layer of the Life and Death Realm.
According to the description of the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path, that was the eighth turn.
It was said that Bai Zhu had been in seclusion for over twenty years, aiming to break through to the ninth layer.
Thinking this, Ji Yebai suddenly became excited.
He had always made surpassing Bai Zhu his goal, and suddenly discovering that he had already surpassed him.
This feeling was inexplicably a bit dizzying.
However, Ji Yebai's state of mind was already extremely strong, and this little bit of excitement was quickly suppressed by his will.
But clearly, a trace of joy appeared on Ji Yebai's face.
"When Bai Zhu was the number one in the world, he first wrote the Longevity Fist, and then wrote this Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path!"
"Now that I am the number one in the world, I also need to contribute some of my own remaining heat!"
Ji Yebai was overjoyed in his heart.
Now that his cultivation was the highest, the heavy responsibility of opening up a new path naturally fell upon him.
He decided that he would also write a book.
Anyway, he was already in the midst of transformation, and once the transformation was complete, he would naturally step into the so-called Saint-Grade.
He felt he could start from this aspect.
"My situation is somewhat special, so it's not easy to write about it directly!"
Ji Yebai suddenly recalled his own cultivation experience and frowned slightly.
He had spent three hundred years in secluded cultivation, with his Soul, consciousness, cells, and flesh constantly tearing; it was not a normal Breakthrough.
This experience could not be repeated.
"How about I also practice this Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path once?!"
Ji Yebai thought while putting down the book.
Yes.
That's what he should do!
Ji Yebai's eyes lit up, and he made a decision.
All the Life and Death Realm Martial Artists in the world followed the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path, so practicing it would also be helpful for his future work.
Let's do it.
Reading the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path once more and memorizing the cultivation method in his mind, Ji Yebai, from his superior vantage point, directly grasped the key to the cultivation.
After a while.
Ji Yebai opened his eyes.
"This is the first turn?!"
Ji Yebai looked at his hand with a slightly surprised gaze.
He felt that his hand had come alive.
Of course, this was an illusion.
Every cell of Ji Yebai's flesh contained his own consciousness and Mental Energy.
And they were fused into one.
At this moment, he practiced the first turn and completed it in just a moment.
In fact, more essentially, through this cultivation method, he had activated the spirit within his flesh.
Each turn of the Soul Refining Path made the spirit and flesh combine more tightly.
But for Ji Yebai, this turn just allowed the spirit within his flesh to be activated!
"Not bad, not bad!"
Ji Yebai looked satisfied.
Previously, although his consciousness and spirit had already fused into his flesh, they had not been activated.
Ji Yebai had not noticed the difference before, as there was no reference.
But this time it was different.
With the spirit activated in his flesh, a vitality he had never experienced before appeared within his flesh cells.
Furthermore, Ji Yebai could clearly feel that his body, which was undergoing a transformation, had begun to accelerate.
"It has this benefit too?!"
Ji Yebai was a bit excited.
Originally, according to his estimation, his transformation would take at least several decades to complete.
But if this Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path could accelerate this progress, that would be great.
"The Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path, although it has nine turns and is extremely difficult to Cultivate, it is not a problem for me."
"When others Cultivate, even the most talented people must be extremely careful; after all, fusing will and spirit into the flesh is equivalent to fusing the ethereal Soul into it, and one careless mistake could lead to errors!"
"But for me, I have already fused my spirit and will into my flesh; it is equivalent to the house already being built, and now it is just like painting it; it is impossible for there to be any situation where the house is built incorrectly!"
Ji Yebai put down his hands, picked up the work ID on the table, and walked outside.
It was time to get off work.
"The path of cultivation is actually the path of evolution!"
"There are thousands upon thousands of Cosmic Civilizations, and the vast majority of races have their own cultivation paths."
"These cultivation paths all relate to the fundamentals of a civilization's continuation."
"The higher the level of the cultivation path, the higher the cultivation Realm one can achieve, and naturally, the more resources one occupies in the Universe, and the greater the right to speak!"
"In the Cosmic Union, cultivation Realms are uniformly divided into Bronze, Silver, Gold, Legendary, and Saint-Grade!"
"The Saint-Grade is already the stage of evolution where one can survive in cosmic space!"
"A single Saint-Grade is enough to suppress a civilization."
"And, it is said that above the Saint-Grade, there are even higher Realms..."
Ji Yebai walked out with his hands behind his back, slowly pacing.
"However, I must keep my cultivation a secret!"
Walking out of the library, Ji Yebai looked up at the sky.
The small Star Domain where this planet was located, although at its highest it was only a Legendary Civilization.
But if he exposed that he was on the path to becoming a Saint-Grade, he was afraid that other civilizations would cause trouble.
Although the Life and Death Realm was strong, it was not the Saint-Grade after all, and could not resist powerful dangers.
Here, there were many Legendary Civilizations in the surrounding area, and naturally, there were many Legendary-level experts.
Legendary experts were equivalent to Life and Death Realm Martial Artists.
Thinking of this, Ji Yebai's heart tightened slightly.
Fortunately, he was not a flashy person.
If he had exposed his cultivation with great fanfare upon returning, he was afraid that he would have already attracted the attention of other civilizations by now.
Civilizations without a Saint-Grade were mostly subordinates of other civilizations.
Currently, the Blue Star Civilization had not yet become a subordinate civilization.
At the beginning of joining the Cosmic Union, one would receive protection, which was the so-called newbie protection period.
One thousand years.
If one could not ascend to a Saint-Grade civilization within a thousand years, then one had to prepare to become a subordinate civilization.
In a Star Domain, if there were only Legendary Civilizations, they would actually live in peace.
Generally speaking, if a Saint-Grade civilization was born.
Then some wars would erupt.
After all, even if these Legendary Civilizations would not resist, the Sect Master civilizations behind them would make them start fighting.
Time passed.
Three years passed in the blink of an eye.
Within three years, Ji Yebai worked steadily.
There were no accidents.
However, three years had passed, and in the academy, a batch of students began to be replaced.
Under the current system, there was no longer the term "university".
All universities had been changed to Martial Arts Academies.
Here, martial arts became a compulsory course.
Students graduating from here not only had to understand martial arts, but their scientific knowledge could not be poor either.
The Martial Arts Academy was a seven-year system.
Students participated in the unified examination to enroll and could study at the Martial Arts Academy for seven years.
After seven years, whether to stay or leave depended on their own abilities.
For three years, Ji Yebai maintained the state of going to work and getting off work normally.
Inside, he was also constantly cultivating the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path.
The Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path was as difficult as ascending to heaven for others.
But for Ji Yebai, it was as easy as flipping one's hand.
The only point he had not anticipated was that as the body's consciousness was constantly activated, the body's transformation became more intense.
Just like that time half a year ago.
Having just cultivated the fourth turn, he then directly cultivated the fifth turn, and as a result, the transformation suddenly intensified, nearly breaking through Ji Yebai's control.
If it hadn't been for Ji Yebai's timely reaction, the library would have been destroyed to dust.
Since then, Ji Yebai had not dared to accelerate his cultivation speed.
Basically, after cultivating one turn, he would wait until his transformation was no longer intense, and then begin the next turn of cultivation.
Giving himself time to adapt.
Now Ji Yebai had already cultivated the sixth turn.
This time, he estimated that he would have to ease off for quite a while.
As the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path went further, his transformation became more intense.
He had to spend more time adapting to this intensity.
The sixth turn.
Even in the entire current Blue Star Civilization, he was already an outstanding figure.
In the entire Blue Star Civilization, apart from Bai Zhu, who as the founder of the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path, was far ahead of everyone else.
Currently, the deepest cultivation was only at the fifth turn.
Most were stuck at the first or second turn.
That was the first or second layer of the Life and Death Realm.
The cultivation of the Nine-Turn Soul Refining Path, after all, involved the Soul and consciousness.
By the time martial arts reached this step, Aptitude and talent were already useless.
Even if you were a Genius, to complete the cultivation of one turn, it would take at least twenty years.
This was still the most ideal state.
And as cultivation progressed, this time would continue to extend.
Therefore, most people were stuck at the first or second layer.
That practitioner at the fifth layer had already been rated as being below only one person.
He was the person most likely to reach Bai Zhu's height today.
At noon.
After eating, Ji Yebai walked out of the cafeteria.
When passing by a shop, the discussion of the surrounding students reached his ears.
It turned out that a Genius student had been admitted to the Dome Martial Arts Academy.
And this Genius student had a very Legendary experience.
Originally a student with very poor Aptitude, he had unexpectedly been reborn after surviving a great disaster, and had fought to catch up.
He even fell off a cliff while traveling, and directly found the tomb of a top Xiantian Expert who had died while failing to break through to the Life and Death Realm.
Inheriting the legacy of the Xiantian Expert.
Now, at only twenty years old, he was already a First-rate Expert.
"Tsk tsk, this experience, it is truly Legendary!"
Ji Yebai also shook his head while listening.
This was definitely a novel protagonist!
