The Contamination of Predecessors, Guidance for the Road Ahead, and Resources
"These are the three orthodox paths of cultivation in the Milky Way."
"As for some races that seize the laws and authority of their own kind to take away their cultivation achievements, or cultivate puppets to devour and refine, the drawbacks are too great, tantamount to cutting off their own path forward, and should not be adopted."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, [the Light-Riding Ritual Master] gave a reminder.
"Fellow Daoist Heavenly River, don't think that inheriting the laws and authority of your predecessors is some kind of good thing."
"Although they cultivate extremely quickly and have a high probability of advancement, the first thing they face upon advancement is the contamination of the will imprints and law traces left by their predecessors."
"If not handled properly, the contamination will penetrate deeper, forcing us to either remain silent in the face of it, or we may end up becoming someone else entirely, albeit someone else."
"This was a last resort; otherwise, civilization might face the danger of High Tier extinction."
Upon hearing this, Wang An thoughtfully asked, "So, in the last battle against the Dinosaur Clan, only a few came, and the rest were fighting against pollution."
"That's right!"
The Queen of a Hundred Flowers felt this most deeply.
"In fact, the more ancient High Tier the race, the more severe this situation becomes. On the one hand, they extensively cultivate descendants to inherit the laws and authority of their predecessors, maintaining the number of High Tier."
"On the other hand, it also leads to newly promoted High Tier falling into slumber, often leaving only one or two to handle major civilizational affairs outside."
"Moreover, the longer the time goes on, the fewer people will prove themselves. In the end, the High Tier of an entire race will fall into silence in their fight against pollution, and thus slowly disappear into billions of years of history."
Hearing her say that, Wang An was surprised.
"It seems my previous question has been answered. Civilizations earlier than the Dinosaur Civilization have disappeared into the annals of history, and only three Transcendent Tier civilizations have been able to exist for over hundreds of millions of years."
Afterwards, the five talked for a long time, agreeing to send a medium-sized cave in three years before they all left.
After the True Lord's celebration ended, Lu Tianxin entered the Dao Palace to report to Wang An on the congratulatory gifts received during the celebration.
With a quick glance, Wang An got the gist of it.
No High Tier beings came in person, and the gifts they brought were all of a near -High Tier rank, which is considered the standard level of etiquette for major civilizations and races today.
After reading it, Wang An instructed, "Make a note of it. We should send the same gift for any celebration of similar scale in the future."
Lu Tianxin wrote it down as instructed and then reported the results of the past fifty years of development.
"To date, thanks to the extensive use of artificial womb technology, the federal population has exceeded two hundred billion, distributed across fifty planetary systems surrounding the New Solar System."
"In addition, drawing on the experience of several High Tier races in building their territories, we have designated the Demonic Beast Star Domain and the Spirit Plant Star Domain specifically for cultivating cultivation resources."
"The Black Iron Academy Star System is also under construction, and it will be our main window for external exchanges in the future."
After the report was completed, Wang An finally added, "Just keep developing steadily."
"As for Tianxin, you are the most likely candidate to advance to High Tier Golden Core stage. These matters can be overseen; leave them to your disciple."
"Now that I have created and attained the [Yin Five Elements] fruition, and you are now cultivating the Five Elements Dao Foundation, there are three paths to attain the Dao."
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxin knelt down and listened attentively to his master's teachings.
"Firstly, it proves one of the branch laws of the Five Elements, which can be considered Branch Position. It is the expansion of the imagery established by the master of the fruit position, and can also be considered a true lord, but its strength is much weaker, and it is subject to the master of the fruit position."
"Secondly, choose Dao Foundation the Five Elements Dao Foundation, deeply elaborate on its imagery and expand its Divine Ability. The laws are also based on the Dao Foundation, and finally, one achieves emptiness and attains the status of Heavenly Immortal immortal."
"Third, cultivate and verify the laws from the perspectives of Yin and Yang, swordsmanship, and the Eight Trigrams, and attain the fruition of emptiness."
"Among the three, from easiest to most difficult, the last one requires changing Dao Foundation Spirit Transformation, which means one can only reincarnate and start over."
Lu Tianxin raised his head, pondering the pros and cons of the three paths, and finally said with a firm gaze, "This disciple wishes to take the second path, to attain enlightenment through Water Phase."
Seeing his determined gaze and clear resolve, Wang An did not try to dissuade him further.
Even if the certificate fails, it can still transform them into Divine Core, saving their lives.
Ultimately, whether one starts over or cultivates step by step, there is still a chance.
But I can't reveal these things to her now, otherwise, if I have a way out, it will be difficult to move forward without hesitation.
"Good!"
Then, Wang An lightly tapped his finger, and a scripture composed of three thousand laws and mantras was sent into Lu Tianxin's Purple Mansion, sealing most of it and leaving it within her body for her to comprehend on her own.
"This is the ' Great Five Elements Avatar Scripture ' written by your master. This scripture exhaustively explains the laws and imagery of the Five Elements' mutual generation. It should be of great use to you, and it should be of good reference."
"Go then, and cultivate diligently."
"Yes, disciple will remember Master's teachings."
After Lu Tianxin left, the Dao Palace fell silent.
Wang An took out six congratulatory gifts, which contained High Tier resources from various families.
Upon inspection, unsurprisingly, the quantity was extremely small.
Dots of light, metallic particles, small clumps of soil, and shallow spiritual water.
"Fortunately, the Primordial True Ancestral Qi creates all things."
With a quick glance around, Yang Spirit gained a general understanding of the characteristics and uses of these resources.
[Pure Transformation Yuyu Dharma Soil] is a gift from [True King Qingshang], specifically used to cultivate High Tier spiritual plants and roots.
He took a strand of Primordial True Ancestral Qi, transformed it into a piece of Dharma soil, and threw it into the Inner Scene Grotto-Heaven, beneath the spatial spiritual root tree.
What was originally only one cubic meter in volume instantly transformed into High Tier magical soil with a range of ten kilometers. Even though it was only a shallow layer, it greatly changed the surrounding environment.
The Earth Spirit surrounding the spatial spiritual root surged, Five Elements elements of immortal energy became more abundant and active. The spatial spiritual root rooted here became more and more lush and active, and the spiritual body and spiritual cultivators inside underwent visible changes, with their growth rate increasing by at least ten times.
"At this rate, they could be promoted in less than a century."
Wang An was also full of amazement at this.
"As expected of High Tier resource, not to mention the soil used to cultivate spiritual roots."
However, he did not continue to consume the Primordial True Ancestral Qi Creation Soil, as there were still many good things to come.
[Supreme Yin Moon-Radiance Dharma Light] was a gift from [Light-Riding Ritual Master]. Wang An, seeing its characteristics and laws, believed it to have been cultivated in his own temple.
This light, appearing in wisps like drifting white smoke, possesses the ability to nourish High Tier divine souls and spirits, and to enlighten Spirituality. It can accelerate the cultivation of the Yang Spirit and increase one's origin.
Although it is described as a resource of the Light Path, it can also be classified as a Fire Element resource. It can be refined into the [Sky-Gazing Moon Cave Dark Supreme Yin Bright Lamp] to enhance one's foundation.
The third type of High Tier resource is the [Tranquil-Heart Spirit-Purifying Dharma Water] gifted by the Silver Human Race's [Clear-Tranquility Ritual Master].
This water is extremely tranquil, possessing the ability to purify High Tier- level spiritual curses, inner demons, and evil spirits, cleanse the mind, and enlighten the heart to the Tao.
"It can indeed be refined into the [Six Laws Heavenly River], which aligns with the purification laws."
Next, the [Sacred Ever-Unmoving Dharma Metal] was gifted by the [Eternal Dharma King], and the [Heavenly Yang Immovable Dharma Light] was gifted by the [Ever-Firm Dharma King].
