"So this is what the Immortal Platform Realm and Dao Palace Realm!!!"
Inside the secret chamber, Chen An opened his eyes, a glint of purple-gold light flashing within them, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
I must say, the system is incredibly powerful!
In less than a quarter of an hour, the system helped him complete all three incomplete Immortal Platform Realm cultivation techniques and one incomplete Dao Palace Realm cultivation technique.
After integrating these supplementary techniques, he finally gained a clearer understanding of his future cultivation path.
According to these supplementary cultivation methods, the so-called Immortal Platform Realm and Dao Palace Realm are said to be two realms, but in reality, they are considered to be one realm.
This realm is called the Half-Saint Realm!!!
After the Half-Saint Realm comes the Saint Realm. The reason why saints are called saints is because they transcend the shackles of the Human Race Flesh Body Realm, can comprehend and control the fundamental laws of heaven and earth, and their words and deeds are in harmony with the operation of the heavenly way. They themselves are the carriers of the laws of the world.
Therefore, the so-called Half-Saint Realm, as the name suggests, is a transitional realm where one takes a half-step into the realm of sainthood, breaks free from the shackles of mortal martial arts, and touches the origin of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
The first step in cultivating to this level is to build Immortal Platform, which corresponds to the Immortal Platform Realm commonly referred to by the world.
After the Martial Emperor Realm reaches perfection, his essence, energy, and spirit will all be perfected. He will then need to invoke the Dao mechanism of heaven and earth within his sea of consciousness to solidify the Immortal Platform.
Generally speaking, as long as one has built one Immortal Platform, there is a chance to break through to the Dao Platform Realm.
However, the Immortal Platform is the foundation for achieving Saint Realm in the future. If only one Immortal Platform is built, there may not even be a chance to break through to sainthood in the future.
Even if one has an extraordinary opportunity to break through to the Saint Realm, their potential will be exhausted, and they will be unable to go any further.
Therefore, in the realm of Immortal Platform, the more Immortal Platform that are built, the greater their future potential.
Generally speaking, this level of cultivation can only forge a maximum of nine levels of the Immortal Platform!
The Nine Immortal Platform, one heaven after another, guides the Dao mechanism into the body, cleansing the foundation of one's Martial Emperor Realm Dao and stripping away the turbidity of mortal form.
Only when the Nine-Tiered Immortal Platform is fully completed can one be considered to have truly finished the first half of the path to becoming Half-Saint.
Once the nine-tiered Immortal Platform is completely stable and perfected, the next step can be taken: opening up the Dao Palace within the body, which is the Dao Palace Secret Realm.
Using one's own Immortal Platform as a foundation, one can create a private space within their body to store their Dao Fruits, refine their Primordial Spirit, and form a small world of their own.
"So that's how it is. To build a nine-tiered Immortal Platform and open a Dao Palace to condense Primordial Spirit, one must take two steps to perfection to become a true Half-Saint," Chen An murmured to himself.
"System, help me deduce the Dao Palace Realm using the < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture Grand Mystery Sacred Origin Scripture as the main text, supplemented by the < Five Elements Sacred Heaven Art >, < Heaven Origin Longevity Scripture>, and < Four Symbols Origin-Returning Chapter >."
[bite!]
[Deduction command received!]
[Deduction Target: < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture > + < Grand Mystery Sacred Origin Scripture >, < Five Elements Sacred Heaven Art >, < Heaven Origin Longevity Scripture >, < Four Symbols Origin-Returning Chapter > + Dao Palace Realm Techniques!]
[Estimated Consumption Balance: 332,629,820]
[Sufficient balance, confirm simulation?!]
[whether]
"More than 300 million?!"
Seeing that it would still require more than 300 million to deduce the < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture > to the Dao Palace Realm cultivation method, Chen An couldn't help but frown slightly.
Although it was nearly ten times less than the billions needed for the previous calculations, Chen An glanced at the system panel and saw that he still had about 350 million left. He pursed his lips and then said again, "System, change it to calculating the Immortal Platform Realm cultivation technique!"
Although the remaining balance was indeed enough for the system to deduce the < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture > to the Dao Palace Realm, Chen An decided to play it safe.
At the very least, some Yuan Crystal should be reserved to improve one's cultivation level.
"System, modify the simulation to reach the Immortal Platform Realm!"
[bite!]
[Deduction command received!]
[Deduction Target: < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture > + < Grand Mystery Sacred Origin Scripture >, < Five Elements Sacred Heaven Art >, < Heaven Origin Longevity Scripture >, < Four Symbols Origin-Returning Chapter > + Immortal Platform Realm Techniques!]
[Estimated Consumption Balance: 2,256,100]
[Sufficient balance, confirm simulation?!]
[whether]
"Two million two hundred thousand, that's enough, let's start the calculation!"
[Ding! Balance deducted: 2,256,100!]
[Current remaining balance: 348,125,233!]
[The cultivation technique deduction has officially begun!]
[Injected into the source: < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture > + < Grand Mystery Sacred Origin Scripture >, < Five Elements Sacred Heaven Art >, < Heaven Origin Longevity Scripture >, < Four Symbols Origin-Returning Chapter >!]
[Dissecting the underlying principles of the cultivation technique... Reconciling conflicts... Reconstructing the cultivation technique system...]
As soon as Chen An finished speaking, the system's cold voice appeared in his mind, and at the same time, a progress bar for system deduction appeared on the panel:
[Deduction progress: 1%...6%...13%...]
As time passed, the simulation progress bar also advanced rapidly.
[58%...79%...98%...99%...100%!!!]
Buzz!!!~~
When the progress bar on the panel reached 100%, Chen An felt a jolt in his mind, followed by a torrent of information flooding into his consciousness.
[bite!]
[The simulation has successfully concluded!]
[Congratulations, host, for advancing the < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture > to the Immortal Platform Realm!]
Chen An ignored the system's notification sound and instead focused on comprehending the newly deduced < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture > in his mind.
"I see!"
A moment later, Chen An opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing in them.
The brand-new < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture > has already pointed out the direction for his cultivation in the Immortal Platform Realm.
However, before he could cultivate the new < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture >, there was one more thing he needed to do!
"System, exchange eleven million years of cultivation time to cultivate the < Thunder Force Overlord Emperor Fist > and comprehend the essence of thunder!"
[Ding! System startup!]
[Eleven million years of Thunder Force Overlord Emperor Fist, Thunderous Intent, cultivation experience begins to be distributed...]
Boom!!~~
The next moment, countless memories of comprehending the essence of thunder flooded into his mind.
In the system space, time flies by like an arrow!
In the blink of an eye, eleven million years have passed!
"So this is the Origin-Returning Realm!!!"
Chen An opened his eyes and felt as if the world before him had completely changed.
The void that was originally empty now appeared in his eyes as countless particles appeared. These particles were of different colors: some were red like flames, some were blue and exuded endless vitality, some were yellow and heavy like mountains, some were gold and sharp like knives, some were purple and dazzling like thunder, and so on.
"Are these what is meant by the workings of Heaven and Earth?!"
Seeing the changes that occurred when his realm of intent broke through to the Origin-Returning Realm, Chen An was not too surprised.
After deducing the < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture > to the Immortal Platform Realm, he already knew that these particles were the Dao mechanism of Heavenly Dao Origin the Heavenly Dao.
The next stage, the Immortal Platform Realm, involves absorbing the Daoist principles of heaven and earth into the body to forge the Immortal Platform, thus undergoing a complete transformation.
"However, the opportunities of heaven and earth are too few. No wonder countless geniuses have been stuck at this step for so many years!"
However, looking at the extremely rare opportunities of heaven and earth in the void, Chen An couldn't help but sigh slightly, finally understanding why so many martial arts prodigies had been stuck at this step for tens of thousands of years.
It's not that they aren't strong enough, but rather that they are limited by the world!
No matter how powerful a cultivator is, they cannot surpass the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!
Moreover, to build Immortal Platform Realm Immortal Platform, one needs to continuously absorb the Dao energy of heaven and earth to build a foundation. However, the Dao energy in the world is now scarce and depleted, naturally trapping countless powerful individuals, leaving no one with any choice.
To give an example, imagine you are a farmer with good seeds and excellent farming skills, but you suffer from severe drought every year and your fields are barren. No matter how good your seeds or how advanced your farming skills are, you can't expect to have a good harvest.
Countless Martial Emperor Realm possess exceptional talent, top-notch skills, and profound foundations, much like seasoned farmers who hold unparalleled seeds and are skilled in cultivation.
However, the natural order of the entire land gradually dried up, resulting in barren fields that suffered from consecutive years of drought and depleted soil fertility.
No matter how superior one's own conditions are, without the "rain and fertile soil" to take root and grow, even if one spends a lifetime cultivating diligently, one will not accumulate enough Dao opportunity to forge the first Immortal Platform of the Immortal Platform. One can only be trapped at the peak of the Martial Emperor Realm and never be able to touch the threshold of the Half-Saint realm.
"I wonder if my system can solve this problem?!"
Chen An's eyes flickered, a hint of worry flashing within them. He then pursed his lips and said, "System, exchange for 1,000,000 cultivation time to fully cultivate the < Purple Sky Thunder Emperor Scripture >!"
