Hiss! Aaargh...
The 'Heavenly Snake Academy' principal's first 'Dao-unification' experiment did not last long. After only a few months, a serpent's hiss rang out from the star in the simulated experiment.
Sitting cross-legged in the void, the 'Star Spirit Giant' body of the 'Heavenly Snake Academy' principal immediately formed a hand seal and struck the 'Void Heavenly Snake' apparition coalescing around him.
At once, the 'Void Heavenly Snake' apparition opened its mouth and sucked in a great breath. The entire star shook violently. The 'Star Spirit Body' projection and the 'Void Heavenly Snake' projection, both merged into the star, were wrenched out and returned to the 'Heavenly Snake Academy' principal's 'Star Spirit Giant' body and the coalescing 'Void Heavenly Snake' apparition, respectively.
That was the advantage of the 'Heavenly Snake Academy' principal's simulated 'Creation Derivation Path' experiment. Even if the simulated 'Dao-unification' failed, he could still extract the power and origin he had merged into the star, rather than meeting certain death by transforming into the Dao within it.
And once the power, origin, and other things he had reclaimed returned to him, the 'Heavenly Snake Academy' principal could sense and examine the information recorded within, including the details of the Dao-unification experiment, the condition of the Star Origin, and the factors behind its failure.
Using this retrieved information as a foundation for further study and deduction, he could continually refine the 'Dao-unification' experiment. Eventually, he would be able to deduce the optimal approach to 'Dao-unification' and make the experiment succeed.
When that time came, he could use the successful experimental records and information to make deductions and calculations for a Star Lord's own Dao-unification cultivation with their Natal Star. Naturally, this would let them avoid the various factors that could lead to failure, greatly increase their odds of success,
