Golden Core Era: Interweaving Creation
"Gone?"
The Heavenly Emperor's Eye searched the entire Tai Heng Star, and even the entire Tai Heng Star System, but could not find any trace of the Bao Xiang Ru Lai.
Perhaps, possibly, maybe, he really is gone.
But who knows? This kind of cultivator might be hiding in the shadows, secretly observing him.
Overthinking might indeed be creating unnecessary trouble, but it's better than not thinking at all and then dying of stupidity.
"But since he has already allowed me to have clones enter the temple, then let's continue!" Having more skills is never a bad thing, Yang Ning immediately arranged for the clones to continue to be sent to the Jinxiang Sect and the Diluo Temple.
We were too conservative last time, only sending 3,000; this time we need to send 30,000!
After arranging the matters, Yang Ning returned to the Taiheng Sect.
Yang Ning formulated several plans regarding how to restart Taiheng.
First: Cut off the fuel supply at the root
This strategy was designed to halt the Tai Heng Noble Families's development and trap them in internal strife.
From then on, the population of the Tai Heng Noble Families would naturally decrease, and if their cultivation level did not improve, they would naturally turn to researching other things, such as technology.
Second: Using a tiger to devour a wolf
Raising the cultivation level of commoners under the rule of the Tai Heng Noble Families increases the conflict between them and the aristocratic Aristocratic Clan.
Dealing with $28 billion is difficult, but what if you had allies worth $280 billion?
The common people under Taiheng's rule are his natural allies. As long as they are given the right guidance, they will naturally turn against the Tai Heng Noble Families once they have developed to a certain extent.
Third Strategy: Absolute Earth Heavenly Connection
Despite the seemingly thriving situation in the Great Ming Kingdom, while Yang Ning certainly deserves some credit, the root cause lies in Hengming's decree, which prevented powerful cultivators at the Spiritual Law Realm from interfering in Taiheng's affairs.
Thus, Taiheng was powerless to act and could only be engulfed in the vast ocean of war waged by the people.
Yang Ning needs to find a way to prevent the Spiritual Law Realm of Taiheng, and even Spiritual Law Realm of the entire world, from making a move in Tai Heng Star.
"The resources of the Tai Heng Star are Spiritual Qi, and the sources of Spiritual Qi are mainly four: the Solar True Force, the transformation of the Star True Force; the absorption of immortal artifacts; and the absorption of Spirit Vein."
"I can't control the absorption of immortal artifacts and Spirit Vein, but I can interfere with the Solar True Force and the Star True Force!"
"If some of the sunlight in the Taiheng region is blocked, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in Taiheng will decrease by one point."
"The Spiritual Qi that was originally enough for 10 people to cultivate has suddenly become enough for only 9 people to cultivate."
"In this situation, those ten people will not reduce the cultivation expenses for each person; instead, they will only kill one of them."
"So, what should we do, Dyson sphere?"
Yang Ning shook his head. Intercepting sunlight is simple, and with his technical skills, it's easy to do.
However, while it's easy to manufacture them, it's difficult to prevent them from being discovered by cultivators at the Spiritual Law Realm.
If a cultivator at the Spiritual Law Realm senses something amiss with the concentration of Spiritual Qi, they will naturally investigate the cause. What if they discover a Dyson sphere and simply smash it to pieces with a single punch?
"Not only will the strategy of 'cutting off the fuel supply' be disrupted by cultivators at the Spiritual Law Realm, but the strategy of 'driving a tiger to devour a wolf' will also be disrupted by cultivators at the Spiritual Law Realm, unless a heaven-defying genius emerges among the common people and reaches the Spiritual Law Realm within a few short years."
Yang Ning actually created several main characters and invested a great deal of computing power to support them.
However, the Three Pure Ones' cultivation has only reached the sixth level of the Talisman Realm.
"Holy crap?" Yang Ning suddenly realized that one of his subordinates had actually reached the Core Formation stage!
Yang Ning immediately turned his gaze over there.
As expected, the one who achieved the Golden Core stage was Nuwa.
She practiced her cultivation on a mountain in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, bordering the South Sea Man Family.
This mountain, at an altitude of 12,000 meters, is also a place where Spiritual Qi gathers. Originally, a sect called the Dharma God Sect occupied this place.
However, the Fa Shen Sect was related to the Lin Family and was swept away along the way. Later, Hengming demanded the Ming Dynasty, this mountain was naturally among them.
Even if many people coveted this mountain, now that it's in Hengming's hands, there's nothing they can do.
This mountain is now named Kunlun Mountain, and it is home to a large number of Rogue Cultivator. The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Fuxi, the Queen Mother of the West, the White-Robed Empress, and other background figures from various novels, as well as powerful cultivators, all reside on this mountain.
Yang Ning planted a large number of Spirit Plant on the mountain and set up Spirit Gathering Formation, which greatly increased the concentration of Spiritual Qi on the mountain.
Although it's still not as good as Taiheng, with the White Dragon Swallowing Absorption Technique, it's not much different anymore.
Nuwa's natural talent was already exceptional, and the myth of "Nuwa creating humans" that began to circulate in the Great Ming Kingdom further enhanced her fortune, making her far surpass others.
It's quite normal for him to become the first Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Those below her each had their own strengths and were not much inferior to Nuwa.
Therefore, Nuwa's Golden Core Stage means that others are not much different.
A surge of Golden Core cultivators from the Spirit Realm is imminent!
"I'm almost there too!" As Nuwa entered the Golden Core Stage, Yang Ning immediately felt a tremendous feedback.
The Law Power of this feedback, both in quantity and quality, gave Yang Ning a jolt.
Too many!
After all, one percent of Golden Core Stage cultivator is equivalent to the entire cultivation level of the Talisman Realm cultivator.
Even Yang Ning felt that he could break through to the Golden Core stage!
"Okay, I was overthinking it!" After digesting Nuwa's insights from breaking through to the Golden Core Stage, Yang Ning suddenly realized that it seemed a bit difficult for him to form his own Golden Core.
The progression from the Talisman Realm to the Golden Core Stage appears to be a process of Law Power increasing from two-dimensional to three-dimensional.
However, Taiheng's Immortal Method deeply integrates Divine Ability and realms.
The reason why talismans can take shape is partly due to the abundance of Law Power, and partly due to the interconnected Supernatural Power Seed that act as a framework.
It's very easy to connect two Supernatural Power Seed together; even supernatural Divine Ability that seem completely unrelated can easily find some commonalities.
However, from the Talisman Realm to the Golden Core Realm, the Supernatural Power Seed are no longer connected in pairs. In the process of the talisman rolling up to form a Golden Core, the originally unconnected Supernatural Power Seed will inevitably collide and connect.
From this point on, the originally connected Supernatural Power Seed will become a three-dimensional structure of connected three-three and four-four.
Finding commonalities among three Supernatural Power Seed is much more difficult than finding commonalities among two!
"So, this is the meaning of Supreme Divine Ability?" Yang Ning suddenly understood.
This hurdle may seem difficult, but Taiheng has already provided a solution.
That is, you just need to cultivate a systematic set of supernatural Divine Ability.
For example, Supreme Divine Ability.
The Taiheng Sect inherits Eight Gates Peerless Divine Abilities, and their commonality lies in their destiny!
Therefore, these Eight Gates Divine Ability can be combined and connected at will.
The Tianyi Sect inherits seven Peerless Divine Abilities, all of which share the commonality of celestial phenomena.
These seven Peerless Divine Abilities can naturally be connected.
"No wonder Qu Heng told me not to practice the <Soaring Serpent Hidden Dragon Method>, but only to use it as a reference. So that's why?" Yang Ning's face darkened immediately.
He suddenly understood many things.
No wonder Qu Heng opened the repository of Peerless Divine Abilities to the Artifact Forging Master, yet few within the sect objected.
Because his vast library of Peerless Divine Abilities did not contain the Eight Gates Divine Ability related to the "Great Destiny Technique," these Artifact Forging Masters could only learn one or two, but they could not connect them, and their abilities did not form a coherent system.
Although it doesn't affect the formation of the Golden Core, the strength after the Golden Core is formed will definitely be inferior to that of a traditional cultivator who has practiced the <Great Destiny Technique>.
"Why didn't anyone tell me that I had cultivated so many Divine Ability?" Yang Ning immediately retrieved his memories, and then his face darkened even more.
The information he collected did indeed contain this taboo regarding spiritual practice.
However, it was just a simple sentence without explaining why.
Yang Ning was used to rebelling against authority, so he didn't take it seriously. But when he saw it, he became rebellious and thought that the reason why they couldn't learn so much was because they were not talented enough.
I'm awesome, so I'm going to learn other things, I'm going to learn all the Divine Ability in the world!
This has led to the current situation.
This can't really be blamed on the locals of Taiheng, because ordinary people, even super geniuses, have a limit to their aptitude. Even with several hundred years, it's already very difficult to cultivate four or five peerless Peerless Divine Abilities.
They never encounter the problem of having too much time, cultivating Divine Ability too quickly, and not having enough time to learn all the Peerless Divine Abilities.
"How did Nuwa set up her Divine Ability?" Yang Ning then went to study Nuwa's cultivation records.
Nuwa cultivated a total of sixteen Divine Ability.
White Dragon Swallowing Absorption Technique, Purple Gold Coiling Dragon Body, Crimson Dragon Crimson Cloud Strength, Heavenly Dragon World Ending Sound, Emperor Dragon Qi Gazing Technique.
The first four of these five Divine Ability can accelerate the cultivation speed of the Body Refinement Realm, while the fifth is very useful for combat or scientific research, making it an essential skill to learn.
The Heavenly Spirit-Word Spell allows one to manipulate destiny through the power of words; it is a very useful Divine Ability and a must-learn.
The Heavenly Sea Divine Art, created by Earthly One Profound Rock, is Divine Ability belonging to the [Great Celestial Phenomenon Art], which was obtained by a clone of Yang Ning's sect.
These two Divine Ability —the former controlling water and the latter controlling earth—are naturally not to be missed by Nuwa, a figure enthusiast.
In addition, there are also Part Rivers to Form Land Overturn Seas and Rivers.
She also learned the Divine Ability to control rivers and seas.
In addition, there is an upgraded version of the Soul-Slaying Technique: Dragon Eye Dotting Technique.
The Evil Dao Divine Ability of refining the spirit and controlling the soul: Soul Capturing Spirit Shaking.
Healing, life-related Divine Ability: The Vital Breath Secret Tome Essence, The Solar Golden Image Art.
Finally, there are two puppet-related Divine Ability: Thought Transformation Spirit Division and Dragon Tendon Formation.
Sixteen Divine Ability —they seem completely unrelated!
But Nuwa forcibly combined these sixteen Divine Ability together.
What they have in common is that the process of transforming a clay figure into a living person is applicable!
The five supernatural Divine Ability of the Great Dragon Physiognomy can endow a clay figure with sharp eyes, surging blood vessels, solid muscles, a clear voice, and the aptitude for cultivation.
Heavenly Spirit-Word Spell can grant the clay figure a certain amount of verbal power, but it may be very weak, roughly equivalent to a jinx.
The Heavenly Sea Divine Art, Earthly One Profound Rock, Part Rivers to Form Land, Overturn Seas and Rivers.
Needless to say, clay figures are made of clay and water, and the people they create are born with the ability to swim.
The Dragon Eye Dotting Technique Soul Capturing Spirit Shaking that it can bestow upon humans three souls and seven spirits.
The Vital Breath Secret Tome can grant humans the ability to heal themselves.
The Solar Golden Image Art can transform a human into a pure Yang body, allowing them to connect with sunlight and enhancing their cultivation.
Thought Transformation Spirit Division, Dragon Tendon Formation.
The former allows the human soul and body to merge into one, while the latter can forge a dragon-like set of meridians in a human, both of which are beneficial for cultivation.
Thus, the sixteen Divine Ability were combined together and transformed into a supreme Supreme Dao Arts!
Nuwa herself called it, "Interweaving Creation!"
According to the Taiheng tradition, this Divine Ability should be called: The Great Creation Art!
"So, this is how Supreme Divine Ability came into being?"
