[Innate Grand Pure Spirit Water Essence-Nourishing Mystic Qi], a mystic art illuminated the path to the extraordinary

The mystic art manifested by this strand of Innate Mystic Qi went far beyond Wang An's expectations.

Simply put, it was a Foundation Establishment method that could continuously nurture and increase his own potential.

What was a Foundation Establishment method? It addressed one's own inadequacies, sought out and remedied deficiencies, made one complete and without leaks, nurtured one's essence and nature, and elevated one's source.

Or, more specifically, it was a Foundation Establishment method that could lift Wang An step by step through the gates of the extraordinary.

By practicing this mystic art and savoring the principles of [Innate Grand Pure Spirit Water Essence-Nourishing Mystic Qi], he could use those principles to continuously nurture and refine the lake of essence qi in his lower dantian, transforming it into Grand Pure Spirit Water.

And in the process of continuously nurturing and refining it, bringing it closer to Grand Pure Spirit Water, he could use the two methods of Refining Essence into Qi and Refining Qi into Spirit to drive a slow qualitative transformation and growth in all three of his attributes: essence, qi, and spirit.

If the extraordinary was one, then the mundane was zero.

Yes, that was right. The mundane was zero, or zero point something.

That was the gap. Going from zero to one was a qualitative transformation.

How could zero become one, or rather, how could something come from nothing? It could be said to be harder than ascending to heaven.

But this method really could turn zero into 0.1, then 0.2, step by step, gradually raising it to 0.99.

This was a process of continually approaching the extraordinary, even though it did not explain how to refine Grand Pure Spirit Water.

But by savoring the principles of [Innate Grand Pure Spirit Water Essence-Nourishing Mystic Qi], Wang An could continuously nurture and refine the "water" in the lake of essence qi, bringing it ever closer to true Grand Pure Spirit Water.

This was a process of continually approaching the extraordinary, one that focused on improving quality rather than continually increasing the quantity of his three attributes.

As for whether the four steps of the [Qi Refiner] class-Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness, and Refining Emptiness and Joining the Dao-could elevate one's fundamental nature...

Wang An had already confirmed that the first two steps could only produce a slight improvement in quality of around 0.1. The latter two steps had long since been lost, and Wang An had never practiced them, so he did not know their precise effects.

Thus, the appearance of the new method pushed open a broader gate for Wang An's future path.

Wang An had also worried about his three attributes continually increasing. As they grew higher and higher, he would need an ever-greater intake of energy. How could he keep from starving when ordinary food could no longer provide the energy he needed?

A feng shui master's feng shui aura was one possible direction, but as the accumulated quantity increased, the feng shui aura would also need to grow stronger and stronger.

If he could never find a way for a quantitative change to cause a qualitative transformation, would he have to keep expanding the feng shui aura to supply energy? When would it ever end?

Now a turning point had appeared, and Wang An breathed a sigh of relief.

Even without this mystic art, Wang An would have researched a method to bring about a qualitative transformation. But principles analyzed from the qi of heaven and earth were, after all, more efficient and quicker than experimenting and speculating on his own, and safer as well.

At the same time, Wang An combined this mystic art with his insights into feng shui auras from this recent period.

He gradually understood that attaining the extraordinary required a qualitative transformation, energy, and an extraordinary cornerstone-that is, a Dao foundation, or what could be called a vessel and converter for extraordinary power.

A feng shui aura could help supply energy. As for the extraordinary cornerstone, perhaps he could refine several kinds of mystic qi together to produce a cornerstone suited to his own characteristics and capable of bearing extraordinary energy.

And the most critical point, the qualitative transformation, might lie within the principles contained in these strands of Innate Mystic Qi.

Besides the mystic art each strand of Innate Mystic Qi manifested outwardly, the strand itself was also supported by some kind of principle. If certain compatible principles were linked together, perhaps they could bring about some conceivable metamorphosis.

Moreover, from the perspective of the class rule rune, gathering and refining mystic qi and comprehending it could also be seen as a process of understanding, completing, and optimizing.

Wang An returned to his home and, in a quiet room, calmed his mind and entered a deep state of stillness. He concentrated his spirit and reached out to explore a mysterious place deep within his mind.

After his spirit attribute reached three points, he had suddenly discovered that he could forcibly concentrate his spiritual power at a single point.

He could directly scan every part of his body. This differed from the inner vision he had used before, which was a shallow, approximate form of observation.

Concentrated spiritual power, however, could penetrate every point in his body, allowing him to closely understand the mysteries deep within the human body.

Wang An had previously suspected that the patterns on the Class Change Stones might not have vanished, but had instead transferred to the class holders.

Or perhaps the patterns on the Class Change Stones were like several fragments of a class, brought together through the use of multiple Class Change Stones and a particular method to form a certain class.

The patterns on a Class Change Stone were clearly visible before use, but after it was used, nothing appeared on the class holder's body. Perhaps it was not that nothing appeared, but that ordinary people could not perceive these special, rule-like patterns.

So, when Wang An was able to use his spiritual power to probe and observe every part of his body, the first place he thought might hold the secrets of classes was the human brain, or perhaps the niwan palace, the upper dantian, and so on.

His spirit penetrated deep into his brain, and only when his spiritual power was on the verge of dissipating did he discover a huge rune hidden there, filled with rules and principles.

It was suffused with the aura of the truths of heaven and earth, and Wang An nearly became so immersed in it that he could not pull himself free. Fortunately, he had also cultivated a profound ability to enter stillness. After breaking free of the rule rune's influence, he observed it again and suddenly realized that it was riddled with missing and damaged parts, and that what appeared before him was only the tip of the rune's iceberg.

After coming into contact with the rune, Wang An could clearly sense something.

The corresponding positions on it for the classes [Intelligent Lifeform, Student, Martial Artist, Archer, Qi Refiner, Mechanical Engineer, Technician]-perhaps this was the origin of everything: the entire class system was supported by a single incomplete rule rune.

Today, Wang An had gathered and refined another strand of Innate Mystic Qi, and the principles of Grand Pure Spirit Water that he had just comprehended seemed to be gradually adding to the rule rune, causing new patterns to appear.

Perhaps by sorting the matching patterns and comparing the different ones, I can gradually understand the function of each part of the rule rune.

Of course, relying on one person's limited lifespan to complete this vast, profound rule rune was not very realistic.

There was another path he could take. For every class holder who possessed this rune, it was an opportunity to learn and reconstruct. Simply put, they could learn everything on the rune and use it to forge an extraordinary rule rune of their own.

To support extraordinary concepts in the physical world of reality, only a rule rune of this kind, involving changes to the rules of the world, could support and convert energy into true extraordinary power.

Thus, today, Wang An settled on gathering and refining Innate Mystic Qi, comprehending its principles, and using this incomplete rule rune as material to construct an extraordinary rule rune of his own within himself.

Externally, he would refine the Innate Mystic Qi that contained principles together to produce a cornerstone capable of bearing extraordinary power.

An extraordinary rule rune was a converter that transformed large quantities of other energy into a form of extraordinary energy.

An extraordinary Dao foundation, an extraordinary cornerstone, was the vessel or reservoir for extraordinary power.

The principles it contained resonated with extraordinary energy and could effectively control the effect of extraordinary power on the surroundings. Otherwise, the mere appearance of extraordinary power might cause a mundane physical body to collapse because it could not bear it.

Having understood all this, Wang An became completely clear about how he should proceed along his future path.

He would comprehend the rule rune and the principles of mystic qi, using each to verify the other, then design an extraordinary rule rune of his own and construct a corresponding extraordinary vessel based on it.
