"The Battle Power in the Dragon Balls World is a little ridiculous." Ling Yi rubbed his chin. It probably wouldn't be easy to gain story progress in this world.
For one thing, Dragon Ball was an exceptionally long anime, with far too much story.
If he used numbers to define the story, The Smiling, Proud Wanderer World had around thirty story points, and Xia Luo's world had only ten. The Dragon Balls World had to have at least several thousand.
In The Smiling, Proud Wanderer World, Ling Yi only needed to take part in or change ten story points to meet the story progress requirement. Xia Luo's world was even easier, requiring only three.
But in the Dragon Balls World, he would damn well need to take part in or change at least a thousand story points to gain enough progress to transmigrate to the next world.
That was absurd.
As for the Battle Power in the Dragon Balls World... better left unsaid. Forget Zeno and the Gods of Destruction; even Frieza's Battle Power of over a hundred million was frightening enough.
Of course, Ling Yi wouldn't sell himself short either. He had a system and could use cheats. As long as he didn't push his luck too far, one day he could smash everything.
Just then, a terrifying presence suddenly erupted from Ling Yi.
His cultivation began to soar at the speed of a rocket.
His Human Grade internal cultivation method ran at full power, and the Genki between heaven and earth poured into his body like a river flowing backward.
His Yang Soul grew rapidly, his Spiritual Power surged, his body grew stronger, and his mental power soared.
"Whoa, is this what Ascension looks like?" The sensation of his strength rising so rapidly left even Ling Yi at a loss for words.
Other transmigrators had to advance step by step, endure untold hardships, and scheme endlessly just to grow stronger. Wasn't his cheat a little too much?
Ling Yi guessed it was probably because the Heaven and Earth Genki in this world was too abundant and the world's upper limit was extremely high.
Before, the world's restrictions had left the Passive Cultivation Aura no chance to operate at full power. Only after he arrived in the Dragon Balls World did it truly reveal its might.
And so Ling Yi floated in the air, white Qi flames burning and rising around him. His terrifying presence pressed a depression into the surface of the sea, and enormous waves rolled outward in every direction.
After this state lasted for over an hour, the Qi flames around Ling Yi shifted from white to pale gold.
His Yang Soul seemed to have broken through. The Yang Soul, originally without form or substance, had actually become visible to the naked eye.
Ling Yi's spirits lifted, and his consciousness entered a certain special space.
"Is this my Sea of Consciousness? I've already opened up a Sea of Consciousness world?"
Sea of Consciousness was a term commonly used in cultivation novels. Only after reaching a certain cultivation realm could one open up a Sea of Consciousness world, and only after opening up the Sea of Consciousness realm could one truly step over the threshold of cultivation.
Ling Yi's Sea of Consciousness world really was a vast ocean, with a single island at its center.
At the center of the island, a pale golden "little person" sat cross-legged. Vast quantities of pale white Genki rose from the "seawater" of the Sea of Consciousness and entered the little person's body.
With every bit it absorbed, the little person grew larger and more solid.
It felt very similar to the "Nascent Soul" described in cultivation novels, but Ling Yi knew it wasn't a Nascent Soul, because his lower Dantian had already opened up a Spiritual Power world, just like his Sea of Consciousness.
The middle Dantian above the lower Dantian had likewise opened up a Spiritual Power space, where a "little person" of pure energy also sat cross-legged.
The little person in the middle Dantian's Spiritual Power space resonated with the one in the Sea of Consciousness world. Spiritual Power circled around this little person in a special pattern, forming a bridge between the Sea of Consciousness world and the Spiritual Power world.
That was a long-winded explanation. Simply put, the upper Dantian (the Sea of Consciousness world), the middle Dantian (at the center of the chest), and the lower Dantian had each opened up a space at the same time. With the Yang Soul Nascent Soul and Spiritual Power Nascent Soul resonating, they formed a complete Spiritual Power circulation system.
A Yang Soul becoming a Nascent Soul was an extremely high realm. Ordinary cultivators had nothing of the sort.
Ling Yi didn't know any of that yet, though. He only knew that he had leveled up and his strength had soared.
He didn't even know what level his current strength had reached.
By now, the effect of the Passive Cultivation Aura was gradually weakening, but even so, Ling Yi could still feel his cultivation improving.
Ling Yi instinctively opened the system panel. The data on it should be more straightforward.
Host: Ling Yi Life: 250,000 Internal Energy (Spiritual Power): 320,000 Cultivation: Nascent Soul Stage Great Perfection Battle Power: 1,500,000 Cultivation method: unnamed Earth Grade martial art (Great Perfection) Cultivation Method Fusion progress: none currently Skills: none Points: 96,000 Story progress: The Smiling, Proud Wanderer (35%), Xia Luo's Special Troubles (50%), Seven Dragon Balls Z (0%) Passive Cultivation Aura lv3 (0/8,000) (active): when active, all learned cultivation methods and skills enter Automatic Cultivation. Current cultivation speed bonus: 4 times. Automatically activates the cultivation method and skill fusion function. Similar cultivation methods and skills automatically fuse into higher-grade forms, with no constraints or upper limit. Passive Transmigration Aura lv1 (active): transmigration becomes available once participation in the current world's story reaches 30% or higher. The destination world is random, and the timeline of each destination world begins at the start of its story.
The data on the attribute screen had become simpler.
A Battle Power attribute had been added.
The Earth Grade martial art had also finished fusing for some inexplicable reason and even reached Great Perfection. It was baffling.
Sensing the vast amount of information contained in the Earth Grade martial art, Ling Yi felt that the 1,500,000 Battle Power seemed to be only a base value. If he used his martial cultivation method, his peak Battle Power would probably be several levels higher.
One thing that spared Ling Yi some trouble was that he didn't need to adjust to the cultivation bestowed by the Passive Cultivation Aura at all. It seemed to become his own instinct immediately, with no risk of losing control.
"Well, all I can say is, the system is awesome."
His attributes were still growing and his cultivation was still improving, and the speed was still far from slow. It just lacked the wild intensity from before.
At the Passive Cultivation Aura's current rate, his attributes could rise by 10,000 in roughly ten minutes.
Or, in terms of Battle Power, he could gain around 50,000 every ten minutes.
In the early stages of Dragon Ball, that Battle Power was already enough to make him invincible.
Of course, Ling Yi also knew that this rate would definitely slow down as time passed.
His Nascent Soul Stage cultivation had brought Ling Yi far too many changes. It was a fundamental transformation from the inside out.
His 250,000 life meant that his lifespan had also reached 250,000 years. He could easily live long enough to become an old undying.
Ling Yi suppressed his presence and was about to release his Spiritual Sense to find the direction of the nearest continent when he saw something strange flashing not far away.
With a thought, he crossed the thousand-plus meters in the blink of an eye.
It was a little bald monk... a little bald monk without a nose. The flash just now had been sunlight reflecting off his bald head.
"That must be Krillin, right? Is he going to Kame House to become a disciple?" Ling Yi immediately recognized the little bald boy.
In Dragon Ball, Krillin was a standout character, known as the strongest Earthling in Dragon Ball.
It was a pity that he fell off a little later on. Especially after the Cell storyline, he married Android 18 and led a life that was much like living in seclusion.
Of course, Kakarot was the protagonist of Dragon Ball, after all. As the saying went, protagonists were forged of iron, while supporting characters flowed like water. Especially in an anime like this, which could easily run for hundreds of episodes, many characters who stood out early on disappeared later.
At that moment, Krillin was clinging to a piece of broken wood and looking curiously at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi could roughly guess that, nine times out of ten, his earlier "Qi burst" had caused a tsunami that Krillin's little boat couldn't withstand, ultimately breaking it apart.
"You're amazing! You can even cause a tsunami with your Qi," Krillin said, jumping out of the water and lying on the board.
"Sorry, I destroyed your boat. Where are you going? I'll take you there."
"Oh, I'm going to Kame House to become Master Roshi's disciple. Do you know where Kame House is?"
Ling Yi was a little speechless. He had gone out to sea looking for Kame House without knowing where it was? Did that mean this guy had wandered around like a blind cat and found Kame House through heaven-defying luck?
Ling Yi swept the area with his Spiritual Sense and quickly sensed the location of Kame House.
As a grandmaster of martial arts, Master Roshi was naturally no weakling. Finding him wasn't difficult, and Ling Yi easily picked up his powerful life presence.
"Perfect. I want to meet Master Roshi too. Let's go."
Ling Yi made a grasping motion with his right hand, pulling Krillin into the air, and flew toward Kame House with him.
Master Roshi was a very interesting person.
When Ling Yi had watched the anime before, he'd only thought of him as an old pervert. In the uncut version especially, many scenes were quite unsuitable for children.
But he had to admit that Master Roshi's understanding of the realm of martial arts had reached a very high level.
That gave Goku, Krillin, and the others an excellent foundation early on.
Ling Yi was very curious about the cultivation methods of the Dragon Balls World. He hoped they could give him some inspiration, and ideally allow him to begin fusing a Heaven Grade cultivation method.
