Nothingness (@德尔西露米娅--大神认证)
Now, many Martial Dao Survivors only feel fear when they see Su Luo's Heartfire, but no longer regard Heartfire as a special Martial Will.
Martial Will and Heartfire are both extensions of the self, rather than forces imposed from the outside.
But the Essence of Martial Will is most vulnerable to being dissected, yet it is also impossible to dissect. It is the steadfastness of one's own path, even if your path is wrong, you must continue on it!
Even if it's wrong, even if it's biased, even if it's foolish, as long as you believe in it, then keep going.
You believe, therefore you are able to use and become stronger; you cannot Negation yourself.
But it's not idealism. After all, it's a force that follows conservation. Growth also requires a process and accumulation. If we really have to categorize it, it doesn't even come down to idealism.
The Essence of the Heartfire had already Negation by Su Luo countless times. Every advancement of the Heartfire was Negation of the old Heartfire and a reconstruction of the new Heartfire. Most of what Su Luo had learned and most of the systems he had dismantled and practiced could be reflected in the Heartfire.
Martial Will relies primarily on the strength of will, Heartfire relies primarily on Su Luo's depth and breadth of cognition; it is the weaponization of cognition.
Su Luo was fortunate that she developed her Heartfire relatively early, as the unification of abilities and the steadfastness of the system were extremely important.
Therefore, arbitrary changes, version rollbacks, Attribute conversions, and even skinning and reskinning are all basic operations.
The colorless Heartfire slowly transformed, splitting into five different colored forces.
One transformed into a golden blade, sharp as a knife. Another into a green vine, supple as silk. One into a frigid glacier, cold as winter. One into a wildfire, blazing as summer. And one into solid rock, heavy as a mountain.
The Five Elements Divine Powers within the Five Elements True Person's body were Perfect simulated before him, even surpassing his master.
The quality of the five Divine Ability of the Heartfire variant has surpassed any known Divine Ability in this world.
With the five Dao Foundations melted and his Divine Ability powers perfected, five beams of light shot out from Su Luo's body, intertwining to form a five-colored canopy above the Heaven’s Gate.
Su Luo switched to cultivating her own modified technique, using the Cycle Method as the framework, the Five Elements Divine Powers as the flesh and blood, and the spiritual body as fire, drawing upon the Heavenly Essence to prove her Dao!
Across a vast territory, mountains and rivers trembled, Spirit Springs gushed forth from a thousand peaks, and the earth's Leyline surged like rivers and seas. Auspicious rosy clouds descended from the sky, Colorful Phoenix phoenixes and cranes soared through the clouds, and wondrous flowers bloomed from the barren land in an instant.
Millions of living beings in the world looked up at the place where the Spiritual Light shone brightly.
"Who is it that has attained the Golden Core stage again?"
No one would attempt to attain the Golden Core Elixir without absolute certainty.
One is that the number of Heavenly Dao Fruit Positions is limited. Once Fruit Position has been attained, it cannot be attained by later generations until the death of the Dao Lord of the corresponding Fruit Position.
Another possibility is that if the certification fails, it will most likely be taken by the Dao Lord for refinement, and the cultivator will only be used as material...
"Interesting, interesting."
Above the Void Sea, now engulfed by Demon Insects, amidst swirling clouds and mist, two people played chess, each move made silently.
One player is playing white, and the other is playing black. The game is in its middle stages, and the player with white has stopped in mid-air, not placing a piece.
His gaze pierced through the sea of clouds and the Heaven’s Gate, landing on the five-colored pillar of light surging up from below.
"What a pity. He has the potential to attain the highest Fruit Position, but time waits for no one. The time required for the Condensed Golden Nature is as short as sixty years, or as long as a hundred years."
The time it takes for the Golden Nature to condense is determined by the cultivator's foundation and Divine Abilities; the longer the condensation time, the more abundant the Golden Nature.
The person opposite didn't look up, but was quite interested, ignoring the game and throwing pieces onto the board like diarrhea.
"Why don't we go and take a look?"
The man seemed somewhat tempted by the suggestion, but ultimately shook his head. "Forget it, these are turbulent times."
He paused, then sighed and said:
"When visitors from beyond the borders arrive, those who once longed to the Returning Sea the seas are filled with hope, and more and more leave each day."
Here, the magnificent and seemingly boundless power of the Heavenly Dao descended upon Su Luo, surging into his body, his five Dao Platforms, and his five Divine Abilities, and began to Burn.
Burn Divine Ability, condensing the Golden Nature.
Su Luo watched leisurely as the Heavenly Dao manipulated her body and soul.
After the Divine Ability was exhausted, the golden flames of the Heavenly Dao began to Burn, and endless Qi poured in, consuming it frantically. After an hour, strands of Golden Nature condensed and attached themselves to consciousness.
A means of Abjuration one's consciousness.
It's an extremely rare method; currently, Su Luo only has the power of Heartfire, Dreamscape, and the deification of faith to some extent, and items can also achieve similar effects.
The reason why the Golden Nature is indestructible and the Dao Lord is immortal is Essence his consciousness is protected and immortalized by the Golden Nature.
Then Su Luo might be able to completely kill Dao Lord.
Seeing how slowly the Golden Nature was condensing, Su Luo checked the ancient texts and found that it would take at least sixty years.
Su Luo: "..."
Having learned the method of condensing the Golden Nature, Su Luo found it not difficult. With her Heartfire covering her Violet Palace, she began to use the methods of the Heavenly Dao to refine the Golden Nature.
The Heavenly Dao clearly paused for a moment.
Su Luo ignored him and frantically inhaled and exhaled Qi. Her inner Heartfire constructed a field around him that only allowed energy to enter and not exit.
The Qi surging from the Leyline was drawn towards him as if by Black Hole. He even stole the portion of Qi that the Heavenly Dao originally intended to consume.
The Heavenly Dao stopped, and it ceased its intervention.
However, this speed is still too slow, mainly due to insufficient energy. The condensation of Golden Nature is extremely difficult and consumes too much energy, far exceeding the energy scale that the Violet Palace should have. No wonder it takes a hundred years to condense gold.
Su Luo's mind stirred.
A quarter of an hour later, the Divine Firmament Heaven’s Gate was shrouded in black, and the temperature rose wildly.
Some of the furnace cauldrons that hadn't been tamed into dogs by Mu Hongyuan looked uneasily at the ground.
"This Heaven’s Gate has floated in the mortal world since ancient times, and apart from the turmoil caused by the struggles between Dao Lords, it has never encountered any accidents. What's going on today?"
"It's alright, it's alright, Dao Lord will naturally handle it," someone comforted them.
But in the next instant, they saw--
Suddenly, a stream of black water gushed forth from the foundation of the Heaven’s Gate, which was shrouded in mist.
No, it's not black water; it's highly condensed flames, flowing like water, carrying terrifyingly high temperatures and an all-consuming Attribute, Corrosion this world...
Palaces melted in the flames, pavilions collapsed in the flames, and flowers and trees turned to ashes in the flames.
Death is inevitable, and for the weak, it is as certain as two thousand testicles for a thousand Hamlets—an inescapable fact.
A cocoon of concentrated Black Flames, tens of kilometers high, enveloped the Leyline. Inside, Su Luo was endlessly devouring Qi, her body completely transformed into Chaos in order to receive it.
"How can one know the wonders of the Violet Palace and the mysteries of the Golden Core without experiencing this sea of fire firsthand?"
The towering Black Flames rose from the devoured Zixiao Thunder Sea, advancing upwards and burning the celestial palaces; they also advanced downwards, mercilessly devouring everything in the Mortal Realm.
Mountains and rivers withered in the flames, cities collapsed in the flames, and all living beings vanished in the flames...
