The proposed plan has been finalized, but how far it can go is still unknown. Li Xingkong can only communicate with the system to refine the subsequent cultivation plan.
One person, one system; it took them more than three months to finally put this plan on paper and create an initial draft for implementation.
The reason it took so long was that Li Xingkong and the system had to search and refer to a vast amount of literature when formulating the plan.
Learn from the successes and failures of those who came before, and use that knowledge to formulate your own plans.
"No, Xingkong, my computing power limit is already a bit insufficient. I need to put my immortal artifact transformation on the agenda as well."
After a long and arduous process, the first draft was finally completed, and the system itself felt a little dizzy.
It's nothing more than the aftereffects of operating at high intensity and overload, pushing data to its daily limit.
"That's true. The path to becoming Human Immortal is still unknown. Helping you advance first will allow you to better utilize your abilities."
The two were so engrossed in their research on the path to Human Immortal that Li Xingkong almost forgot that the system was still only at the Nascent Soul Realm.
It's time to give it a boost.
"So what is the process for the system's transformation into a celestial artifact? Does it also need to be transformed into a conceptual entity?"
Although the system may seem no different from a cultivator, it is ultimately still an artifact, and the path it takes to achieve immortality is different from that of a cultivator.
Different paths lead to the same destination; they are largely the same.
The system had already studied its own promotion path countless times. If it didn't need the host's help to promote itself, it would have been eager to do so long ago.
To upgrade to a Celestial Artifact, there is no need to comprehend the rules or conceptualize it yourself; the host only needs to assimilate it after conceptualizing it.
Strictly speaking, the system's transformation into a celestial artifact is equivalent to treating oneself as a part of Li Xingkong, just like refining Dharma Aspect during the Nascent Soul stage, simply refining the system into one's conceptualized body.
Just like Nezha's Wind Fire Wheels and Red Armillary Sash, these two treasures are inextricably linked to Nezha whenever he is mentioned.
Of course, after the system was transformed into a celestial artifact, it truly became one with Li Xingkong, and was truly bound to him. As long as Li Xingkong did not perish, the system would always be by his side.
The light cluster formed by the system gently exhaled, and a small bubble detached from its body.
Li Xingkong reached out and took it; it was a method for refining weapons.
The Taiyi Heaven-Refining Art
Although the name is unremarkable, this is the Primordial World, and the cultivation techniques in the system's possession come from the Jade Void Palace.
Therefore, the Taiyi" in the name of this cultivation technique is not just a figment of imagination, but truly the name of that immortal venerable.
Even though Li Xingkong was already Human Immortal, it still took him nearly half a month to finish learning the entire cultivation technique.
As one's cultivation level increases, the complexity of the cultivation techniques also increases.
This method is specifically for refining artifacts. If one cultivates it to the point of mastery, refining a celestial artifact will be a piece of cake. Even those acquired merit-based magic treasures that are famous throughout the Primordial World can be refined to some extent.
Although these cultivation techniques are kept secret by cultivators below the level of immortals, they are not particularly valuable to immortals who have already attained immortality.
The reason for keeping this secret from those below the level of immortals is that if one rashly consults immortal scriptures before becoming an immortal and without understanding one's own concept, one will be directly assimilated by the cultivation method. Even if the cultivation method is a righteous one and comes from a benevolent immortal, the trace of concept contained in the cultivation method is enough to wash away and cover up the self of a low-level cultivator.
Without becoming an immortal, this kind of conceptual overriding is unavoidable.
For those who have already become immortals, a cultivation technique from another immortal can only be used as a reference.
For a large power like Jade Void Palace, it's fine; within the power, concepts are shared. Li Xingkong, having obtained the " Taiyi Heaven-Refining Art," can also borrow the concepts of Perfected Taiyi to assist him in cultivating this technique.
If one is a wandering immortal, one must either personally seek permission from Taiyi to begin cultivating this method, or, without permission, directly cultivate without Taiyi's approval, one cannot even begin to learn the technique.
That's why, although this method of weapon forging is indeed very powerful, its value as a technique isn't that high.
Li Xingkong reviewed the newly acquired techniques in his mind, closing his eyes and remaining silent.
With such a powerful technique, how could Li Xingkong possibly learn it in a short time?
Fortunately, he no longer has any reason to be distracted by cultivation. The calculation power of immortals is almost limitless. He only needs to keep the cultivation method in his mind and let the Hexagram interpret and understand it. When he is cultivating, it does not interfere with his other activities.
"Okay, you're already practicing the technique. Once you've mastered it, you can begin your advancement."
"Great! This wasn't easy, I'm going to become an immortal too!"
Upon receiving Li Xingkong's reply, the system was immediately delighted. It had been at this level of strength since its debut and had not made any progress. Now, the opportunity for advancement was just around the corner, so how could it not be excited?
"Come on, don't get too excited yet. Who knows how long it will take to figure it out!"
Seeing the system already floating in the air, Li Xingkong felt it necessary to remind it.
"What's the big deal? I've waited all these years, why would I be short of a little more time?"
"Okay, okay, then enjoy yourself. After you're done, help me see what other concepts can resist the Dao Immortal's control over concepts."
The Taiyi Heaven-Refining Art began to be analyzed in his mind, but this did not prevent Li Xingkong from doing other things.
When he was in the Nascent Soul Realm, Li Xingkong experimented with various Daos for nearly ten years, much like opening blind boxes with the system, but all of them ended in failure.
That's how he became Human Immortal.
However, what Li Xingkong didn't expect was that even though he had already become an immortal, he still needed to find a path to cultivate first.
"Yes, there are a few more."
The system's high-load search took a long time, but it actually found a few results for Li Xingkong.
"The first is disguise. One can disguise oneself as the corresponding Dao Immortal, deceiving the concept and making the concept truly believe that he is that True Immortal."
"However, someone has already mastered this. If you want to learn it, you'll have to find that person first."
"Let's leave aside the concepts that have already been chosen; we can't exactly go to their door and arrest them! Besides, they're all True Immortal; who can defeat whom?"
"OK, there are two types of cases where no one was selected."
"The first type is piracy, which can be indistinguishable from the real thing. Even if you don't grasp the corresponding concept, you can still exert a third of its power. But the problem is, everyone condemns piracy. Even in the Primordial World, it's something that can't be taken seriously. After all, everyone is afraid that one day their wealth will be emptied out."
"The second is the self. This self is each person's own, and no one can break free from the rules of the self. After all, in the Primordial World, everyone was an immortal, so who would be willing to abandon their self?"
