Fifty years without any slack.
Wang Sheng has been tirelessly improving his cultivation, spending most of his time on Cultivation Techniques, particularly Inner Core Skill and Ba Duan Jin, except for occasional studies of Space and Time.
“Realm—
Refining God and Returning to Void. Yang Spirit: 99.5%
Cultivation Technique—
Inner Core Skill (Refining Qi into God): Breakthrough+7 (95%)
Ba Duan Jin: Breakthrough+7 (86%)—Undying Reincarnation Body (Undying Phenomenon): 40%
Five Elements Fist: Breakthrough+7 (2%)—Five Qi Chaoyuan: 53%
Yijin Scripture: Breakthrough+7 (2%)—Immortal Body (Telepathy): 49%
Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter: Breakthrough+7 (1%)—Virtual World (Causality): 35%”
Divine Ability Martial Techniques—
Curse: Breakthrough+5 (94%) Fate Skill: Breakthrough+5 (90%)…
Knowledge—
Space: Breakthrough+7 (36%)) Time: Breakthrough+6 (72%)
…”
In fifty years, all cultivation techniques have surpassed the limit six times.
No new entries appeared, but the effect of a seventh breakthrough is nearly a qualitative change, greatly enhancing power.
Merely the breakthroughs in cultivation techniques have improved combat power by two to thirty percent.
Then there are the various Divine Ability Martial Techniques.
Most of his time was spent practicing the Inner Core Skill, as its sixth breakthrough advances the Divine Ability Martial Techniques.
This time, fifty years devoted mainly to the Inner Core Skill has naturally resulted in substantial improvement.
Except for the Fate Skill and Curse, which had lower levels initially, most have reached a seventh breakthrough, boosting strength by another ten to twenty percent.
Overall, there’s been considerable improvement, significantly enhancing power.
Then comes the most important advancement, the realm.
Refining God and Returning to Void. Yang Spirit stage has reached 99.5% progress, practically just one step away.
He’s already prepared a large amount of Pure Yin and Pure Yang Materials, ready to cross.
He paused just to make adequate preparations, which is his habit.
Also, because this breakthrough is of utmost importance.
The Refining God and Returning to Void realm is not as complicated as before.
There are only three stages.
Immortal Embryo, Yang Spirit, and the final, most crucial realm, Returning to Void, though Wang Sheng prefers to call it Heavenly Gate.
Heavenly Gate, the gate to the heavens.
Reaching this realm brings one closer to the ultimate realm of the Inner Core Skill, the Immortal, even qualifying to be called an Earth Immortal, truly an immortal.
Heavenly Gate, where the Primordial Spirit fully transforms into Yang Spirit, becoming Pure Yang Spirit, verified in the Mud Pill, begins accepting guidance from the Void Dao, aiming to rise through the Heavenly Gate, breaking delusions.
Among these, choosing one’s Dao is the most crucial.
Heavenly Gate requires the Yang Spirit to carry the Dao principles.
This is the main reason Wang Sheng paused.
“Heavenly Gate, reverse the Void, break delusions, the chosen path must be emphasized, as it concerns future development, though for me, I actually already have a choice.”
Comprehending the Void Dao is inherently difficult.
Without insight, one might be stuck at this realm, unable to breakthrough in a lifetime.
But for Wang Sheng, who has progression bars, it’s all too easy.
Any cultivation technique or skill that has surpassed the limit six times is eligible for selection.
They are fundamentally Dao seeds.
“Space and Time respectively represent space and time, both breaking through seven times, with high comprehension, very suitable for my choice.
While Divine Ability Martial Techniques like the Eight Extremes Fist represent destruction rules, also an excellent choice for greatly enhancing strength.
Additionally, the causality derived from the God-slaying Sword is also a good option, ultimately even touching upon destiny…”
Progression bars offer him too many choices.
Any choice could significantly enhance his strength.
Hence, Wang Sheng himself is somewhat conflicted.
However, he quickly made a decision.
“Actually, there’s no need to overthink. With progression bars, each breakthrough strengthens control, in the end, even without choosing this path, I can ultimately master it. Right now, my best choice is actually the highest level, most familiar Dao.”
Thinking this way, he actually already has an answer.
Space and Time represented by Space and Time.
“Utilizing time and space, already formidable, unlike other rules, Space and Time are knowledge skills, unlike destruction or causality, merely derivatives of Divine Ability Martial Techniques.”
After confirming, the more Wang Sheng thinks, the more fitting it seems.
His heart gradually calms down.
Of course, there’s still a problem to resolve.
Refining God and Returning to Void. Heavenly Gate stage can only choose one path, connecting with the Yang Spirit, also anchoring the Void.
“Priority is certainly choosing Time, but having both may not be impossible…”
For average cultivators, naturally, one follows the rules.
Choosing the most suitable path, allowing the Yang Spirit to leap through the Heavenly Gate.
But Wang Sheng is very special.
With myriad opportunities and coincidences, he retains his most original physical body.
And the physical body grows alongside the Primordial Spirit, without a trace of difference.
“Yang Spirit carries one Dao, but the physical body might not forbid time and space, entering my body…”
Wang Sheng immediately decided to make a simple attempt.
With the chance to become stronger, he naturally won’t let it slip away.
The method of attempt is straightforward.
That is simply to invoke the Void Dao and see if the physical body can carry it.
If it cannot, he has room to maneuver without affecting himself; if it can, he’ll go with the flow and directly choose breakthrough.
“Let’s go a bit farther. Breaking through on the Source Star, it won’t drain it, but it will vastly shrink its foundation.”
With the current Source Star foundation, bearing an Eighth Realm or even Ninth Realm breakthrough is not an issue.
