With the method in front of him and Wan Chongshan paving the way for Li Xingkong's entry, if he couldn't enter the gate of the Thousand Mountains Method, then Li Xingkong would start to doubt himself.
Fortunately, although the method was complicated, the one given to Li Xingkong was already a product that had undergone multiple rounds of secret testing. He didn't need to understand too much; he only needed to follow the steps of the method step by step to successfully complete the introductory stage.
With the control of the Hexagram over his entire body, and having cultivated to this point, Li Xingkong was quite experienced in mastering a new method. After nearly a month of cultivation, Li Xingkong finally found that connection.
He felt that he had made contact with a so-called Xingkong, but the awkward thing was that Li Xingkong had long since disappeared from that Xingkong.
After all, the development of each world is different, and Li Xingkong cannot guarantee that he will embark on the path of cultivation in every parallel world.
You're kidding, how could he not know how that Spiritual Qi was created? It must have taken countless years of luck to create one in such a short time.
In fact, it's likely that most parallel worlds will struggle to gather all the necessary materials even in a lifetime.
Fortunately, although he couldn't find himself, he had sensed a parallel world, so the entry requirements for this method had been met.
With the basic requirements met, the subsequent cultivation becomes simple. By following the methods step by step, everything progresses naturally.
It took Li Xingkong nearly five years to finally be able to use the Thousand Mountains Method.
Li Xingkong's computational power was sufficient for deduction; when faced with different choices, he could calculate thousands, or even tens of thousands, of different routes. However, his cultivation level limited the effectiveness of the technique.
Even if Li Xingkong used all his Magic Power, he could only create two different paths.
But this is already good enough. It's a choice between two options, which is better than having no choice at all before.
After mastering the basics of the Thousand Mountains Method, Li Xingkong turned his attention to his own cultivation.
The progress of his first Golden Core cultivation over the past few days has been slow, with only a tiny bit of progress. Looking at the 0.003% displayed after the materialized Golden Core progress bar, Li Xingkong finally understood the feeling of Golden Core cultivation slowing down more and more.
However, Li Xingkong was clearly not here to reminisce. Now that he already had the Thousand Mountains Method, Li Xingkong naturally wanted to use this technique to accelerate his cultivation.
Although Li Xingkong can only create two routes at a time, that's enough for him now.
This means that he doesn't need to calculate to the extreme every time before proceeding safely. Instead, he can make a gamble with a possible return path when the probability calculation reaches a certain value.
One route is calculated normally, while the other route is based on that probability and a gamble is placed; the two do not interfere with each other.
Not long had it been since his last cultivation session. It had taken him nearly 300 years to advance to the next level, and Li Xingkong hadn't forgotten that yet.
But this time the cultivation was different. The simple Hexagram had become Three Palaces, and with the blessing of the Thousand Mountains Method, the speed of cultivation naturally increased.
After a brief experiment, Li Xingkong decided that when the Hexagram reached 70%, he would use the Thousand Mountains Method to directly attempt to improve the divination.
The Golden Core Method's deduction process inherently takes longer and longer as you progress; between 99% and 100%, it can take up more than half the time. However, with the Thousand Mountains Method's assistance, Li Xingkong's cultivation has seen a rocket-like improvement.
In the blink of an eye, increasing progress by 1% is not a problem.
It was truly like a roc spreading its wings, or soaring into the sky. Since he began cultivating, Li Xingkong had never felt his cultivation level improve so rapidly.
The improvement of cultivation was addictive, and Li Xingkong unknowingly became immersed in it.
"Hello! Hello!"
Li Xingkong felt someone calling him, and he reluctantly broke free from his meditative state.
Time passed, and Li Xingkong found the voice somewhat annoying.
"Hey! Wake up, my God!"
Li Xingkong realized that the voice calling him sounded familiar, and he couldn't help but think back.
It seems to be a system?
No, system!
Li Xingkong snapped to attention and realized what was going on.
Everything around him seemed to return to reality, and Li Xingkong opened his eyes.
Everything around me felt so unfamiliar, even my own body felt uncomfortable, as if it wasn't my own body at all.
It was as if he had been drowning in the sea for an unknown amount of time and was suddenly brought to the surface from the deep ocean. Li Xingkong felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the whole world.
"Wow, you're doing something big without saying a word!"
The system's words brought Li Xingkong back to his senses.
"What's the big deal?"
Li Xingkong instinctively wanted to speak, but his uncontrollable Magic Power surged forth, clearing away a large area of asteroids in front of him.
"My goodness, please don't move! Let's check your cultivation level first."
Li Xingkong was startled by his own actions and subconsciously slowed down all his movements.
The most important thing is to observe your own cultivation level first.
Li Xingkong's biological clock told him that he hadn't actually spent many days in seclusion, and hadn't even reached the level of seclusion, but the surge in his cultivation level truly told Li Xingkong that his cultivation realm had undergone earth-shattering changes.
The most crucial point is that he himself almost no longer recognizes his own Golden Core.
Is this structure of blue flames before him truly his Golden Core? He vaguely remembers his Golden Core being golden with a hint of blue.
Moreover, the energy conversion efficiency of the Golden Core has reached a rather astonishing level.
If the conversion efficiency of his Golden Core previously reached about 10% of the mass-energy equation, then this Golden Core should now be at least 60%.
"Holy crap... Golden Core Six Revolutions?"
Li Xingkong himself was startled by the conclusion he had drawn.
No, what happened? I just reached the sixth level of the Golden Core after only one level.
Moreover, the immense magical Magic Power that had increased many times over, the drastically transformed physical strength, and the Divine Sense of information that even Li Xingkong struggled to process—all of this felt incredibly unfamiliar to him.
Is this really him?
Li Xingkong raised his hand and looked at it. It was indeed him, but there was a strange sense of unfamiliarity about him.
"No, this Thousand Mountains Method is so powerful! It can make you ascend to the heavens overnight! If I hadn't stopped you, you would have gone straight for the Golden Core Nine Revolutions, you know that?"
The system was also stunned by Li Xingkong's speed.
It really all changed overnight.
