Cultivation Time, Increased More Than Tenfold
The Bronze Priest System is ultimately based on spiritual refinement, with essence and energy as secondary elements, forming the unified [Power of Qing Sacrifice]. Its primary function is to drive and refine one's own natal artifacts and sacrificial vessels, and its ability to interfere with the outside world is weaker than that of magical power.
Next, Wang An recounted his deductions regarding subsequent cultivation, also seeking guidance from many senior practitioners on this path.
"After the Purple Mansion, besides continuing to perfect the Five Elements Dao Foundation, the focus is on cultivating and refining the Purple Mansion Divine Ability, nurturing a Golden Nature that lies between a complete law and its rudimentary form from a nascent law."
"The so-called Golden Nature is Imperishable. It no longer needs our nourishment with Daoist cultivation and knowledge to grow on its own, absorbing relevant Daoist cultivation and knowledge from the Transcendent System until it grows into a complete law, thereby refining the True Lord's Law Fruition."
"Even with a lifespan of 8,000 years, it is extremely difficult for Purple Mansion Perfected Person to complete the High Tier attainment of the Golden Nature within the limited lifespan of Middle Tier."
"Therefore, the five Dao Foundation, five Divine Ability, and Golden Nature are combined and refined into one, thus attaining the fruition of enlightenment."
"As for whether it is feasible, I would appreciate guidance from the seniors present."
As Wang An finished speaking, everyone present frowned and fell into deep thought, creating a momentary silence.
Shennong Yinmu remained relatively calm and raised a question.
"Does the True Man know just how difficult it is to cultivate even a single Divine Ability, or rather, our [Sacrificial Method], to the Golden Nature state you speak of, and to combine five Golden Nature into one fruition?"
Wang An had also thought about this question, but after obtaining a Golden Nature, he felt that it shouldn't be too difficult to cultivate and refine it after reaching the Middle Tier 3.
However, judging from the fact that this Middle Tier 3 expert had such a question, it must not be a simple matter. So I asked her about it.
"Although I haven't reached the Middle Tier level 3 yet, I believe that mastering five more Purple Mansion Divine Ability and achieving 108 thoughts in my Yin Spirit should be achievable within a few hundred years."
Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.
Several older, veteran Middle Tier 3 powerhouses even sneered, as if to say, "Where did this arrogant brat come from?"
However, everyone present was at least 500 years old and possessed the composure and refinement to refrain from making sarcastic or mocking remarks.
Shennong Yinmu was slightly taken aback by the Perfected Heavenly River's mention of several hundred years, and then explained some common knowledge about this to him.
"Fellow Daoist, let's take the time it took for True King Qingshang of my Bronze Human Race, to achieve the High Tier as an example."
"His talent is second only to [Qing], the founder of our Bronze Human Race Priest System. He achieved the Middle Tier [Law-Establishing Priest] realm in just 150 years. After that, he received the greatest resources from the race, including regular law resources, rare items, and spiritual plants. He also spent many years with the [Supreme Beginning Yu Heaven Azure Spirit Ding], High Tier- level Civilization Ritual Artifact of our Bronze Human Race, comprehending the law of [Ritual] within it."
"He reached the Middle Tier 3 in just 300 years. After that, he mastered a profound law every millennium, not much different from the Golden Faith you mentioned."
"Thus, at the age of 3450, he had already mastered the profound mysteries of the three great rites, and it took him 3000 years to evolve the [Seeking Rites] rites that suited him. At the age of 7000, under the Shelter of the [Supreme Beginning Yu Heaven Azure Spirit Ding], he achieved the High Tier [Supreme Beginning Yu Heaven Teaching True King Qingshang] Exalted Position."
"Fellow Daoist Heavenly River, how long would it take to cultivate the five profound mysteries of the laws? 5000 years? And how long would it take to deduce the laws that suit oneself?"
"Therefore, although it is easier to deduce the laws using the five profound principles of the laws, time is too tight. You do not have the laws of High Tier artifact that suits you to provide for your comprehension, and obtaining the relevant law resources is even more difficult. How long will it take?"
However, at this point, Shennong Yinmu's tone shifted dramatically.
"Of course, this is a rather pessimistic estimate. Considering that you have achieved the Middle Tier in just one or two years, the cultivation progress of our True King Qingshang cannot be used as a reference."
"I'm saying this to remind you that even after cultivating the Five Golden Nature, you still need to allow ample time to harmonize these profound laws until they become a complete law."
Shennong Yinmu's words, and the cultivation time of the True King Qingshang, also shocked Wang An.
Then he mentally estimated it.
"Based on this True King Qingshang's calculations, it's actually possible for him to achieve the Golden Core True Lord status within 500 years."
"First, I have Avatar to study alongside me, so the combined cultivation speed of my main body and Avatar is at least twice that of an ordinary person. Furthermore, my Avatar can undertake various dangerous trials, something others cannot do."
"This speed of comprehension is even faster, so based on that alone, it's 2.5 times faster than others."
"Furthermore, there was the influence of Qi Destiny, because the progenitor of the Bronze Human Race's extraordinary path died in battle before even leaving the trial, and thus did not enjoy the driving force of destiny in the later extraordinary interstellar society."
"Everyone after him will only receive this favor unless they make great contributions to the entire system. Therefore, in terms of Qi Destiny, this aspect of the bonus is two or three times greater."
"Unlike others, who need to find and deduce the laws that suit them, I have already planned for my future position."
"The Five Elements Dao Foundation —during my cultivation, I only practiced the Yin Five Elements Dao Foundation. The five Dao Foundation are extremely compatible with each other, without any conflict."
"Thus, as long as the Five Elements are mutually generating, one can attain the Yin Five Elements Attainment. As long as there are enough cultivators practicing the Yin Five Elements Dao Foundation, I, as the founder of the Dao, will have a continuous flow of Dao knowledge to supplement my understanding of the laws. On top of that, I can improve by one or two times."
"If we calculate it that way, it might take a little more than 500 years, but not by much."
"This doesn't even include what Shennong Yinmu just mentioned about the Law of Unity, the Law of Spiritual Plants, and the related Law-based scenarios. If I add those, my cultivation speed will be even faster, and I should be able to achieve the Golden Core True Lord status within 500 years."
Wang An was also taken aback by his own deductions. A speed more than ten times faster, High Tier existence of 500 years—this was definitely the fastest cultivation speed in the entire Milky Way.
He then calmed down immediately and carefully considered his next steps.
"It's best not to reveal these deductions of mine. Even if I did, no one would believe me, and I'd just become a laughingstock."
At this moment, everyone watched as the Perfected Heavenly River fell into deep thought, and murmurs arose from time to time. Seeing this, Gaoyang Zhenkong spoke after a long period of contemplation.
"As the founder of the Dao, Fellow Daoist Heavenly River is naturally Shelter by its fortune, and he is also exceptionally talented. I think achieving High Tier shouldn't be too much of a problem, it just will take a while."
"The issue of resources, however, is easily resolved for you, fellow Daoist."
