Contemplating the Cultivation Method

Within the Heavenly Dao Tower on Lieyang Star, Pan Zhen entered alone.

"Pan Zhen, pays respects to My God!"

At that moment, a rune resembling a flame formation appeared within the Heavenly Dao Tower.

"You have returned. How did matters proceed?"

Pan Zhen: "Reporting to My God, most of the situation has been handled as required. However, at the very end, an unexpected incident occurred, causing the Nine Top-Level Warships of Lieyang to turn to ashes!"

"Oh? On Earth Star, aside from that monkey, what other surprise was there?"

Pan Zhen: "My God, after we bombed seven cities, a terrifying existence at the Chief God level appeared on Earth Star. Your subject senses that person's strength may already rival the King of Angels, Holy Keisha!"

As these words were spoken, the Heavenly Dao Tower fell into silence. After a long while, the voice of the Old Sun God finally rang out.

"I see. I never imagined that place truly still held mysteries. Leave this matter be. Take good care of that child Lena; it is not yet time for her to emerge. The Great Era has not yet descended. From this day forward, what Lieyang advocates is national peace and the people's safety. Do you understand?"

Pan Zhen immediately replied: "Yes, Your subject! Understands!"

"Good. You may go. Take care of Lieyang. Also, do not let this news leak out."

Pan Zhen: "Yes, Your subject understands! Your humble subject takes leave!"

Having said this, Pan Zhen respectfully withdrew from the Heavenly Dao Tower. Meanwhile, the rune flickered unsteadily, and finally, a sigh slowly echoed.

"Sigh. I never thought such a thing would happen in the end. Is Earth Star truly so mysterious? No wonder it has always been the place the Super God Academy studies and explores. Hmph, a new existence at the Chief God level. Not inferior to Keisha? How interesting this is!"

On the other side, most of the people of the Deno Civilization had already taken all Deno people and left Earth Star, heading toward other places. Only a small portion remained as scientific researchers to help Du Kao build, maintain, and manage Deno Three.

However, Jiang Zhen was completely unaware of these matters. At this moment, Jiang Zhen was exploring and observing various sects and those sects capable of cultivation. Because of his innate super learning ability, Jiang Zhen's reading speed was extremely fast—reading ten lines at a glance was slow for him. With just a sweep of his gaze, he absorbed all the knowledge from those books into his mind.

This speed allowed Jiang Zhen to finish reading all the knowledge related to cultivation across the Central Plains in just a month or two. Through this period of travel, Jiang Zhen also discovered something special: some people could forcibly absorb a small amount of Dark Energy with their bodies. Using their own meager Dark Energy to communicate with external Dark Energy, they could fight and unleash power no weaker than that of an ordinary First Generation Super Soldier. However, reaching this level was extremely rare and required a special constitution and talent. These people were called Immortal Cultivators or Qi Practitioners.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhen did not reveal himself. He merely observed their cultivation methods and then left. It was not until three months later, when Jiang Zhen reappeared atop the Nameless Peak, that he had already memorized countless ancient texts and classics.

Jiang Zhen looked at the sky and then slowly said: "What remains is for me to slowly handle. I hope I can truly create a cultivation method that allows continuous progress. Otherwise, scientific research is still too slow, especially with just me alone."

Having said this, Jiang Zhen directly activated his space talent and time talent, then set up a barrier over the mountain. In an instant, the entire mountain vanished from Earth Star without causing the slightest disturbance. It was not until Du Kao and Sun Wukong prepared to visit Jiang Zhen that they discovered the peak where Jiang Zhen had been had already disappeared.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong helplessly shrugged and said: "Looks like he doesn't want to see us. Let's go back. This matter, Old Sun here can't do anything about it. This one might really be an ancient great god."

Du Kao: "Wukong, do you really think that matter is true? That he is the legendary Yi from the tales? If he really is Yi, then are all the gods from Huaxia's ancient legends real?"

Hearing this, Sun Wukong shook his head and said: "This matter, Old Sun doesn't know and can't explain clearly. In short, I can feel a closeness from him, as if we came from the same place. But his feeling is purer than mine, giving me the sense that he is the real body while I am just a fake."

Hearing this, Du Kao's heart skipped a beat, and his vigilance toward the entire Central Plains of Huaxia grew even heavier.

On the other side, Jiang Zhen was currently pondering his own cultivation method.

"This is the Supergod Universe. Logically speaking, this should be a world of technology, yet there are still some special places here.

That is magic. Here, within the Supergod Academy, there are still people who can use magic.

Some can even wield power similar to runes, which makes it clear that this world is not purely a technological one.

Or rather, this world is not the kind that can only develop technology.

As for the so-called cultivation methods I obtained here, they essentially rely on a special or exceptionally strong physique.

They can absorb a bit of Dark Energy, merge it into the body, control it, and then, using a method akin to leveraging a small force to move a large one, use the internal Dark Energy to pry at the external Dark Energy, forming a relatively powerful attack technique.

However, their absorption method is rather crude, but that's not a big problem; it actually suits me well. It gives me a foundation, so I don't have to waste effort starting from scratch.

But this kind of simple cultivation brings no qualitative change, which limits them to at most matching a First Generation Super Soldier.

I recall that in Devouring, one can also devour the energy of the universe for cultivation.

According to their theory, one generally opens their heart to the heavens, sensing the Cosmic Energy between heaven and earth to devour it.

However, the difference is that before this, there is another condition: one must have reached a certain level of personal strength and speed.

This means that devouring Cosmic Energy also requires a powerful physique, and only after reaching a certain level can one begin to devour Cosmic Energy.

Yet, although this Cosmic Energy has never been specifically explained, it must be the various energies that exist within the universe.

However, before this, no one on Earth Star had ever reached that step. It wasn't until a virus swept across the globe that the survivors' bodies began to mutate.

Through training, they could strengthen their bodies to the point of being able to absorb Cosmic Energy, which allowed them to take the first step on the path of cultivation.

And with my Pangu Clan physique, if I want to devour Cosmic Energy, it should be a piece of cake.

After all, my physique is extremely powerful; mere Cosmic Energy can't harm me.

But before that, there is another issue: the problem of cultivation.

Here, simply absorbing Dark Energy alone won't cut it.

No matter which cultivation method, it's not just about absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to succeed.

When one reaches a certain level, a quantitative change must lead to a qualitative change.

In immortal cultivation, a golden core forms within the body. In some cases, a crystal core forms as well.

By this logic, it's all a transformation from quantity to quality.

In Devouring, the Apprentice Level involves training the physique and devouring Cosmic Energy for cultivation.

At the Planet Level, a miniature planet forms within the body, except that this planet takes shape in the Sea of Consciousness.

However, this issue requires further study and cannot be fully trusted. Logically speaking, what forms in the Sea of Consciousness should be mental or soul energy.

Next, at the Star Level, a galaxy forms in the Sea of Consciousness.

In the subsequent stages—Universe Level, Domain Lord Level, World Lord Level, and so on—this step involves beginning to comprehend the laws of the universe.

This is akin to starting to understand conceptual things..."
