"The difference between cultivation methods?"

Su Yuan was slightly taken aback; he hadn't paid much attention to the cultivation methods on Blue Star.

Because the cultivation method provided by the Gray Mirror was the most suitable one for him, there was no need to expend energy on others.

As Su Yuan pondered, characters continuously emerged on the Gray Mirror, further explaining the reasoning.

Ten minutes later.

Su Yuan's expression cleared.

"So that's how it is."

Su Yuan nodded slightly.

According to the explanation provided by the Gray Mirror, cultivation methods drive the continuous evolution of life.

It is not just Blue Star that possesses numerous cultivation methods; deep within the starry sky, those incredibly powerful factions and individual life forms also have their own respective methods.

Cultivation methods drive the evolution of life, and the evolution of life is divided into six aspects.

Or, one could call them six dimensions.

Namely—

Physical body.

Soul.

Will.

Wisdom.

Comprehension.

Potential.

The physical body is easy to understand; it is the physique. The vast majority of cultivation methods can promote the evolution of the physical level.

The soul is an illusory power diametrically opposed to the physical body; it can evolve into psychic power and spiritual power.

Will is the foundation of a life's existence. The higher the degree of life evolution, the greater the importance of will.

Wisdom... relates to intelligence and strategic planning.

Comprehension is the ability to learn.

Finally, potential is the underlying foundation of life evolution. Only when potential is sufficiently high can one continue to evolve.

The six dimensions of life evolution are also the direction pursued by all cultivation methods.

However, the vast majority of cultivation methods cannot simultaneously account for all six dimensions.

Therefore.

Judging the quality and status of a cultivation method can also be measured by how many dimensions of life evolution it covers.

A cultivation method that covers one dimension is a One-Dimensional Cultivation Method.

A cultivation method that covers two dimensions is a Two-Dimensional Cultivation Method.

A cultivation method that covers all six dimensions is a Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method.

In the vast universe, there are endless cultivation methods, and the most numerous are naturally the One-Dimensional Cultivation Methods, specifically those that only cover the physical body.

After all, training and improving the physical body is the simplest and most convenient, and the cultivation methods derived from this are countless.

"In that case, is the National Martial Arts cultivation method of the Xia Kingdom a Two-Dimensional Cultivation Method?"

Su Yuan thought to himself.

The National Martial Arts cultivation method, from Ming Jin to An Jin, focuses on training the physical body.

Upon reaching Hua Jin, one can cultivate psychic power and use it to face enemies.

And psychic power originates from the soul.

In other words, the National Martial Arts cultivation method covers both the physical body and the soul, making it a Two-Dimensional Cultivation Method.

"Not bad at all."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

He learned from the Gray Mirror that One-Dimensional Cultivation Methods are basically practiced by the natives of primitive planets, while in the universe and starry sky, Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional Cultivation Methods are the mainstream.

"How many dimensions is the cultivation method I practice?"

Su Yuan suddenly asked.

[Six-Dimensional]

The Gray Mirror replied.

The Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method perfectly balances the six aspects of life evolution. Only life evolution driven by this cultivation method is the most perfect, without a single flaw or shortcoming.

"I understand."

Su Yuan's expression was thoughtful.

Although his current cultivation level belonged to the Great Achievement of Transformation Energy, it was the Great Achievement of Transformation Energy according to the Six-Dimensional Cultivation Method.

It was a Great Achievement of Transformation Energy that balanced the six aspects of physical body, soul, will, wisdom, and potential.

Six dimensions advancing in tandem.

In terms of life and soul levels, Su Yuan was likely superior to even those at the Perfection of Transformation Energy.

"But why is my strength only ranked 48th in Magic City?"

Su Yuan thought of the ranking provided by the Gray Mirror.

Could it be that Magic City had 47 Grandmasters of the Dan-Holding Realm?

How could that be possible?

Even in the modern era, where National Martial Arts cultivation was much easier, Grandmasters of the Dan-Holding Realm were not so easily achieved. They were recognized by major forces across the universe as Level 1 lifeforms.

The Gray Mirror grew hazy and provided an answer once more.

"My life level is high, but my practical combat experience is lacking. Furthermore, some Transformation Energy masters within Magic City, seeing no hope of breaking through, have chosen to undergo human modification, leading to a surge in combat power..."

Su Yuan looked at the Gray Mirror's response, his mouth twitching slightly.

Indeed.

He did not have much practical combat experience.

However, Su Yuan did not need practical combat experience. Possessing the Omniscient Mirror, the most suitable approach for him was to hide behind the scenes and orchestrate plans.

Practical combat?

How dangerous that would be.

Even if there were unavoidable reasons that forced Su Yuan to engage in combat, it would be a Dan-Holding master fighting against Dark Energy or Transformation Energy practitioners—a Level 2 lifeform fighting a Level 1 lifeform.

He would only consider it if he were absolutely certain of victory.

On the top floor of Zhongshan Hospital, in Ward No. 3.

Not long after Su Yuan left, Zhou Weiwei, who had been lying on the hospital bed, woke up.

"Weiwei."

A smile appeared on Tang Zhien's face.

Although he had paid an unimaginable price, one that would very likely see the century of effort put in by three generations of the Zhou Family go up in smoke, it didn't matter. If Zhou Weiwei had died, the efforts of three generations of the Zhou Family would have been meaningless. With the Zhou family gone, what use was their legacy?

"Uncle Tang, I feel much better."

Zhou Weiwei looked at Tang Zhien, her tone no longer as weak as before, but instead revealing a hint of joy.

"It's good that you're better."

"It's good that you're better."

Tang Zhien nodded repeatedly. "The Old Master's spirit in heaven will surely watch over you, Weiwei."

The "Old Master" Tang Zhien referred to was, naturally, the first-generation head of the Zhou Family.

"Was it Dean Lu who saved me?"

Zhou Weiwei asked.

While she was in a coma, she had no perception of the outside world, yet in her hazy state, she had felt her body growing colder and colder, her consciousness fading away.

Just as she was about to lose consciousness completely, a bit of warmth spread from her limbs.

Then, Zhou Weiwei felt her body growing warmer and warmer, until she finally woke up just now.

"It wasn't Dean Lu."

Tang Zhien shook his head. If Lu Fusheng possessed such medical skills, Zhou Weiwei would never have suffered for so many years.

"Then who was it?"

Zhou Weiwei looked puzzled.

"I don't know who he is."

Tang Zhien was silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

"You don't know who it was?"

Zhou Weiwei was perplexed. "Then did you pay him? Or give him some other form of compensation?"

Since he had improved her heart condition, she certainly had to thank him properly; that was the most basic of courtesies.

"..."

Tang Zhien fell silent for a moment, his tone complex as he said, "If he wants something, he will come and take it himself."

Jinshan Villa District, Villa 66.

After studying hacking techniques for a while, Su Yuan looked toward the Gray Mirror once again.

"Is there any treasure that can provide significant help to me at my current level, which I can easily obtain without any hidden dangers or threats?"

Su Yuan asked aloud.

This was a question he asked every single day.

It was also known as his daily inquiry.

Since Su Yuan's strength improved every day, the conditions under which he asked meant that the prerequisites were constantly changing.

Therefore, every time he asked, the Gray Mirror would provide a different answer.

After all, for a Su Yuan who had only undergone two cultivation sessions, some treasures would require facing danger to obtain.

This contradicted the "safe" and "no hidden dangers" prerequisites Su Yuan had set, so they would not appear in the mirror's suggested methods.

However, for a Su Yuan who had undergone five or six sessions, those same items might pose no danger at all; when the same question was asked then, it often yielded unexpected surprises.

Sure enough.

The moment Su Yuan finished speaking, the surface of the Gray Mirror began to churn and blur, followed by characters emerging upon it.
