Various Paths

[Mana—Elemental Orthodoxy Path]

Mana is merely a source of energy; what truly interacts with the outside world are ultimately various elements.

Choose an element that you are most familiar with.

You need to exhaustively explore all the possible forms of this element: solid-like, liquid-like, gas-like, plasma-like, diffuse-like, and numerous latent states...

It is important to note that the different World Rules will lead to subtle differences in the formation of elements and Spell models.

Less advanced cultivators don't need to worry too much; it will only slightly affect the power. As long as the source of Mana remains unchanged, it won't actually affect the success of the Spell or the generation of elements.

But if you want to advance, you must be able to exhaust all forms of this element with Primordial Mana within a short time after arriving in the new world.

This is the absolute mainstream of Mana Side advancement, because it is essentially imitating the World Rules.

Su Luo had mentioned this several times before:

Elements are Mana energy transformed by specific Attribute rules. When Primordial Mana is transformed according to certain specific rules representing the bottom layer of the world, it becomes elemental energy with distinct characteristics.

Su Luo learning, and it remains accurate now, laying an unbreakable foundation for the Survival System Skill Book.

"The God of Magic has a natural advantage in taking this path."

Su Luo flipped through the purchase information.

An ascendant must be able to directly generate the element, freely switch between all states of matter, and construct an elemental Cycle independent of the world's natural Cycles.

Su Luo is currently unable to do even this kind of thing.

The formation of elements is Essence a combination of Mana and external objects, creating a "special Mana".

This is equivalent to skipping Mana and directly producing the elements themselves, which is an extremely difficult task.

Over the long course of time, one comes to understand the true meaning of the elements. If one's will is not strong enough, one's personality will be assimilated by the instincts of the elements.

Su Luo believes this promotion method is flawed.

Besides the most mainstream path, there are many other advancement routes on the Mana Side, and Su Luo also took a fancy to a rather strange one.

[Mana—Self-Consistent Path]

Establish a closed system where your Mana reigns supreme, becoming your own master amidst self-consistency and self-interference...

It sounded strange, but after buying some more information, Su Luo discovered that this promotion method was also known as "[Secondhand Cup]".

Because the ultimate form of this is actually the construction of a Mana world, or more simply, Small World within the body.

The concept of self-consistency is not limited to Mana. Other extraordinary beings also have self-consistent paths, cultivating and designing themselves as a self-consistent, Cycle system like Small World. It sounds very sophisticated.

But in reality, it's also very high-level. Not to mention [Limit Breaker], even many [Demigods ] who have advanced for many years cannot achieve it. It is almost always the powerful who provide templates and resources for their juniors to advance.

This reminded Su Luo of the Heavenly Dao and the Forty-Nine Venerable Fruit Positions in the Second Era of the Large Dungeon.

The Heavenly Dao, combined with the forty-nine Fruit Position, is essentially a Self-Consistent Path.

One's own heart is the heart of Heaven; one's own body is the world.

Su Luo was very interested in this, and it was also very suitable for [Evolution], but he still had to take it slowly because he actually knew nothing about the Small World.

In addition, the main advancement paths on the Mana Side include [Mana-Infinite Life Path] and [Mana-Pure Soul Path], which heavily emphasize or even completely abandon one of the three Attributes...

In a strict sense, there are more paths to advancement in Martial Dao than in Mana.

The Mana relied upon by the Mana Side is a fixed energy, but it is so vast and its variations are endless that it directly forms a large category of extraordinary powers.

However, the Martial Dao realm is not limited to the [Vital Energy] used in Survival Games; it also encompasses a wide variety of energies from All Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds, primarily life energy.

The [Flesh Ultimate Path] and [Supreme Will Path] on the Martial Dao side are the main paths to advancement, but because they are too closely related to the advancement of the three Attributes, Su Luo skipped them directly.

Among other methods of advancement, there is also the [Martial Dao—Resonance Path].

The martial artist and their will constantly resonate with the world, using their own Martial Dao to Attunement the rules of struggle between heaven and earth, ultimately forging a mysterious connection and borrowing the combat power of heaven and earth.

It sounded very mysterious, Su Luo was also surprised to see it here.

Because during the Large Dungeon, Su Luo had actually analyzed the difference between the Second Era Daoist Rhyme and Martial Will. One is given by the world and becomes useless once outside the world, while the other is one's own and can be used by changing the environment.

But the abnormality of this Path lies in the fact that... in most places it can borrow "Daoist principles" or similar things. In some places it is the trend of the times, in others it is Heavenly Mandate, and in still others it is even code generated by a proxy in a global database...

There's a Survivor in Zone 76 who uses [Automatic Combat], and he actually has a pretty good chance of succeeding on this Path.

[Martial Dao - The Path the Mind]

This Path is even more absurd.

Projecting the rules of one's heart outward, using one's own mind to partially rewrite external reality.

The fewer the words, the bigger the matter.

Su Luo cannot attempt this Path.

Because it has no underlying principle.

If you're powerful enough, that's one thing, but if you're so powerful that your thoughts can influence the World Rules, then it's easy to talk about.

But you are so weak, what makes you think you can change the world?

These beings would theoretically not exist if it weren't for the occasional, scattered appearance of a few of them in various worlds.

Or perhaps, even the [Adrian Academy] didn't really understand the principles; they only had many hypotheses.

The more you know, the less you know.

Correspondingly, other extraordinary paths also have similar idealistic examples of advancement, and the principles behind them are also unclear. However, this situation is more common in Martial Dao can even be considered a complete Path.

Even at [Adrian Academy], there are still many unsolved mysteries.

Su Luo shook her head, and was about to turn to the cultivation section's Advancement Outline when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Across from him, someone had sat down at some point.

Each space in the Library of [Adrian Academy] is actually an independent space; only the area where materials are purchased can be considered a public area.

Su Luo had clearly driven everyone away, so where did the people on the other side come from?

"I see you've chosen so many Path advancement, what are your thoughts on that?" the person opposite asked.

"I believe that most of these advancement paths share the same underlying principles, but different extraordinary systems, civilizations, and even individuals have developed different emphases, and the same possibility has been developed in different directions by different entities."

"Explain it more clearly."

"It's more like a mountain where creatures have found many different trails. The starting points and focuses vary, but the obstacles they must overcome while climbing are strikingly similar."

Su Luo said this.

After recognizing who was opposite him, he felt a cold sweat break out, something he hadn't done in a long time.
