    Chapter 442

    Where there are cultivators, there is a jianghu.

    Where there is a jianghu, there are games.

    That has always been the case.

    The difference lies only in how deeply one understands the rules that govern society.

    Generally speaking, these games can be divided into three levels.

    The first is:

    "I must win, and you must lose."

    This way of thinking revolves around defeating one's opponent.

    Victory and defeat are absolute.

    Someone must fall for someone else to rise.

    The second is:

    "I must win. Whether you win or lose has nothing to do with me."

    This perspective is centered entirely on oneself.

    Others are neither enemies nor partners.

    They are simply irrelevant to one's own objective.

    The third is:

    "I must win, and you must win as well. If only I succeed, then I would rather not succeed."

    This is true win-win thinking.

    Naturally, these categories are not absolute.

    Different people may adopt different mindsets depending upon the situation.


    ---

    Su Hao had always belonged mostly to the second category.

    His first priority was always accomplishing his own objective.

    Before reaching that objective, everything else naturally became secondary.

    However...

    While pursuing his own goals, he was also perfectly willing to allow others to benefit alongside him.

    Or rather—

    He was happy to let the entire world benefit together.

    In that sense...

    He occasionally brushed against the third level of thinking.

    Only...

    Just barely.

    He doubted he would ever truly reach the point of believing,

    "If only I succeed, then I would rather not succeed."

    After all...

    He was fundamentally different from ordinary people.

    If his life lasted merely a century...

    Perhaps he really would pursue complete mutual prosperity.

    Unfortunately...

    His lifespan extended far beyond that.

    Creating win-win outcomes pleased him.

    But it was never his ultimate purpose.


    ---

    Another two months passed.

    Su Hao slowly opened his eyes.

    Although every strand of spiritual power within his body had not yet been completely refined into naturally obedient Nascent Soul spiritual power, the initial transformation was already complete.

    Its quality had reached a fully usable level.

    The remaining refinement merely required time.


    ---

    In several days, he would honor his agreement with Feng Qianye and report his cultivation progress.

    Before meeting her...

    He wanted to thoroughly evaluate the strength of his current spiritual power.


    ---

    As he considered where to perform his tests, another thought surfaced.

    Years ago...

    He had buried a positioning stone on Spirit Mountain Continent.

    More than two years had passed since then.

    Its power had gradually begun to weaken.

    Within another six or seven years, it would likely become completely unusable.

    Fortunately...

    He had already manufactured a new generation of positioning stones with much longer lifespans.

    Since he happened to remember it now...

    He might as well replace the old one.


    ---

    Su Hao rose to his feet.

    Golden Armament surged across his body.

    In an instant...

    He transformed into his Life Bearer form.

    Magnificent golden armor completely enveloped him.

    Immediately afterward...

    He activated the Absolute Defense formation.

    A thin blue barrier appeared across the surface of the armor.

    Within the blue radiance flowed faint crimson light—

    The unique color produced by Nascent Soul spiritual power.

    It looked exceptionally striking.


    ---

    Su Hao extended his right hand.

    Golden Armament flowed outward.

    A long sword rapidly took shape.

    Countless rune patterns appeared across its surface before quickly stabilizing.

    Finally...

    He infused it with Nascent Soul spiritual power.

    Hum—

    The blade released a soft vibration.

    A faint crimson aura wrapped around the sword.

    Su Hao casually swung it once.

    Perfect balance.


    ---

    This journey was to Spirit Mountain Continent.

    The continent was filled with powerful cultivators.

    No one knew what unexpected situations might arise.

    Preparation was essential.

    If he were unfortunate enough to teleport directly into the middle of a battle involving Unity Realm experts...

    Without enough time to deploy a Counter-Space Barrier...

    That would be troublesome indeed.

    Anything was possible.

    Being cautious never hurt anyone.


    ---

    Preparations complete...

    Su Hao activated the positioning stone.

    Blink.

    The next instant...

    His figure disappeared from Moonwatch Valley.

    Moments later, he appeared inside a secluded valley on Spirit Mountain Continent, exactly where he had buried the positioning stone years before.

    The instant he arrived...

    His Core Perception Rune activated automatically.

    Nascent Soul spiritual power surged through the rune.

    Immediately...

    His perception expanded to a radius of one hundred thousand meters.

    Every living being.

    Every fluctuation of spiritual power.

    Everything within that enormous range appeared inside his consciousness.


    ---

    "Twenty thousand meters away..."

    "Two Nascent Soul cultivators are fighting."

    "Four thousand meters from them, several others are secretly observing."

    "There are scattered cultivators elsewhere."

    "No immediate threat."

    After confirming the surrounding situation, Su Hao noticed another pleasant surprise.

    "My perception radius has reached one hundred thousand meters."

    "The amplification has become weaker now."

    "It seems the Core Perception Rune itself is approaching its design limit."

    "After cultivating Spiritual Intent, spiritual power responds much more naturally."

    "Even rune activation has become noticeably faster."


    ---

    Satisfied, Su Hao decided to begin testing.

    Blink.

    He appeared atop a towering mountain.

    Ahead stood a barren rocky peak nearly two thousand meters away.

    He raised one finger.

    Wind Bullet.

    A crimson-blue flash erupted from his fingertip.

    The projectile instantly crossed two thousand meters.

    Boom!

    The distant mountain shook violently.

    Rocks exploded into the sky.

    Dust surged outward.

    Several seconds later...

    The thunderous explosion echoed throughout the mountains like countless explosives detonating simultaneously.


    ---

    "Not bad."

    "The amplification provided by Nascent Soul spiritual power is remarkable."

    "Now..."

    "Let's test a strengthened version."

    Spiritual power surged.

    His fingers blurred.

    Another Wind Bullet shot forward.

    This time...

    The projectile struck almost the instant it was released.

    Boom!

    The entire summit bulged outward before exploding apart.

    It resembled a watermelon shattered by an enormous explosive.

    Countless rocks and debris erupted into the sky.

    By the time Su Hao Blinked again...

    Only drifting dust remained.


    ---

    Using Spiritual Intent, Su Hao carefully examined the result.

    The once-proud barren summit had completely disappeared.

    Only an enormous crater remained.

    Given enough rainfall...

    Perhaps it would eventually become a mountaintop lake.

    He nodded with satisfaction.

    "Very good."

    "The increase compared to the Qi Induction Realm is enormous."

    "Breaking a Nascent Soul cultivator's defensive barrier shouldn't be difficult."

    "Now..."

    "Let's test everything else."


    ---

    Over the next three days...

    Su Hao systematically evaluated every technique available to him.

    Wind Bullet.

    Wind Spirit Shield.

    Wind Escape Technique.

    He even found the situation rather amusing.

    He was probably the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire cultivation world who had mastered only three basic techniques.

    Afterward...

    He continued testing the enhancement provided by Nascent Soul spiritual power to runes...

    Artifacts...

    Formations...

    And every other ability at his disposal.


    ---

    Three days later...

    Su Hao finally stopped.

    After reviewing all the collected data, he reached a conclusion.

    "Compared with Foundation Establishment spiritual power..."

    "The overall increase in performance is roughly threefold."

    "Acceptable."


    ---

    Just then...

    He looked toward a distant direction.

    A trace of curiosity appeared on his face.

    "Strange."

    "I haven't visited Spirit Mountain Continent for only two years."

    "Why has it become so chaotic?"

    During only three days of testing...

    He had detected more than ten separate battles within his perception range.

    Participants ranged from Foundation Establishment cultivators all the way to Nascent Soul experts.

    Something had clearly happened.


    ---

    After thinking for a moment...

    Su Hao simply shook his head.

    Whatever had occurred...

    It had nothing to do with him.

    His priority remained unchanged.

    Cultivate.

    Research.

    Completely unravel the mysteries of spiritual power.

    As for the conflicts, grudges, and struggles spreading across this continent...

    Eventually they would all be buried beneath the advance of new spiritual power technologies.

    History had never cared about old disputes.


    ---

    Having reached that conclusion...

    Su Hao abandoned any thought of investigating further.

    Even if priceless treasures were being fought over...

    He had no interest.

    He had never been the sort of person driven solely by wealth.

    Once enough was enough...

    Anything beyond that simply lost its meaning.


    ---

    Taking out a newly forged positioning stone...

    Su Hao casually embedded it deep within a mountainside.

    After confirming its stability...

    He activated Blink once more.

    His figure vanished.

    Moments later...

    He returned to Moonwatch Valley.

    Tomorrow...

    He would pay Feng Qianye another visit.

    He genuinely hoped everything could be discussed calmly and rationally.

    There was no need for violence.

    After all...

    If matters truly came to blows...

    The one who suffered would almost certainly be the other party.
