    Chapter 467

    Were the three Unity Realm cultivators angry?

    Of course they were.

    But when strength was insufficient, even anger had to be restrained.

    Every time it was about to erupt...

    ...the red-and-blue radiance from Su Hao's Bewildering Illusion Formation would descend upon them again.

    None of them wished to experience that terrifying sensation of completely losing their sense of direction ever again.

    After the Crystal Thief, who introduced himself as Jia Wei, took away the Unity Realm cultivators they had painstakingly collected over many years, their lifelong dream seemed to collapse before their eyes.

    Could dreams really be shattered so easily?

    Yes.

    Before reality, even the grandest ambitions were astonishingly fragile.

    One might possess lofty ideals...

    ...but they could not withstand a blade pressed against one's throat.


    ---

    Su Hao claimed he was only at the Nascent Soul Realm.

    His Spiritual Perception indeed possessed only the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

    Yet...

    How could three Unity Realm cultivators be pushed into such a miserable state by someone merely at the Nascent Soul Realm?

    The Immortal Master smiled bitterly.

    "Fellow Daoist Jia Wei..."

    "You must be joking."

    Su Hao looked genuinely puzzled.

    "Do I look like someone who enjoys joking?"

    The Immortal Master was left speechless.


    ---

    Su Hao continued,

    "I really am only at the Nascent Soul Realm."

    "There's no reason for me to lie about something like that."

    "I imagine..."

    "You're wondering why three Unity Realm cultivators lost to someone at the Nascent Soul Realm."

    The expressions of the Immortal Master, Lin Mei, and Lichi slowly grew serious.

    If Jia Wei was truly telling the truth...

    Then the implication hidden behind those words was terrifying.

    The Immortal Master couldn't suppress the question.

    "...Why?"


    ---

    Su Hao casually waved his hand.

    A Universal Saber floated before the Immortal Master.

    "You seem quite knowledgeable about formations."

    "Take a look."

    The Immortal Master accepted it.

    As the green glow faded, he carefully injected Spiritual Power into the artifact.

    The moment his Spiritual Perception entered its interior—

    His entire body trembled violently.

    His eyes widened in disbelief.

    "...Impossible..."

    "How could someone refine an artifact to... this level?"

    Its internal structure was unimaginably intricate.

    Every tiny space had been utilized perfectly.

    It appeared chaotic...

    Yet every component existed in flawless order.

    Numerous formations were nested within other formations.

    Each connected with remarkable precision.

    The Immortal Master had never seen anything remotely similar.

    Even imagining such a structure had never crossed his mind.


    ---

    Su Hao casually produced another Universal Saber.

    Then another.

    The Immortal Master examined all three one after another.

    By the end...

    He could no longer utter a single word.

    After a long silence...

    He sighed deeply.

    "...Our defeat wasn't unjust."

    Lin Mei asked curiously,

    "Immortal Master..."

    "What exactly did you discover?"

    The Immortal Master slowly shook his head.

    "It's not that we were too weak."

    "It's that..."

    "We never even qualified to become his opponents."

    "We aren't even playing the same game."


    ---

    After another pause, the Immortal Master asked,

    "There's still one thing I don't understand."

    "If Fellow Daoist Jia Wei possesses such strength..."

    "Why haven't you broken through to the Unity Realm?"

    Su Hao smiled faintly.

    "The Unity Realm?"

    "You mean that realm achieved by forcibly assimilating Spiritual Power of the same origin?"

    "The path itself is already wrong."

    "There's no future on that road."

    "So why would I walk it?"


    ---

    The three fell silent.

    "The path... is wrong?"

    Had someone else spoken those words...

    They would have dismissed them outright.

    But after seeing Su Hao's artifact refinement...

    They found themselves unable to reject the possibility.


    ---

    As their conversation continued...

    Su Hao gradually learned the true objective of the Immortal Master and his companions.

    Simply put—

    They wished to surpass the Unity Realm.

    Or more accurately...

    To obtain a lifespan long enough to continue pursuing cultivation.

    According to the Immortal Master himself...

    His physical body had already begun declining.

    At most...

    He had a little over two hundred years remaining.

    If he failed to break through within those two centuries...

    He would eventually disappear like everyone else.

    To him...

    Two hundred years was far too short.


    ---

    After countless years of researching Spiritual Power...

    The Immortal Master had developed an entirely new theory.

    Building upon the principles behind the Redspring Spirit Refining Liquid, he planned to establish a Spirit Refining Grand Formation.

    Its purpose was to continuously refine the vast, chaotic Spiritual Power accumulated within a Unity Realm cultivator into a perfectly unified whole.

    He called this refined state the Nascent Soul Realm.

    Afterward...

    He would gather even more Spiritual Power.

    Construct another Soul Locking Array.

    Break through into the Unity Realm once more.

    Then refine everything again.

    Thus creating an endless cycle.

    Unity Realm → Nascent Soul Realm → Unity Realm → Nascent Soul Realm...

    Repeating the process until every trace of impurity had been removed.

    In his imagination...

    Absolute refinement would eventually produce an entirely new realm.

    He tentatively named it the Cycle Realm.

    Whether it would actually succeed...

    He didn't know.

    But he intended to test it personally.


    ---

    If even that failed...

    He still possessed another plan.

    The External Spiritual Power Soul Locking Array.

    If the Spiritual Power inside the body reached its limit...

    Then he would continue building another circulation system outside the body.

    Its core philosophy could be summarized in only four words.

    Infinite accumulation.


    ---

    After hearing the entire explanation...

    Su Hao could only think one thing.

    "Brilliant."

    "This truly is the thinking of a genius."

    No world's people should ever be underestimated.

    Wisdom revealed itself through the collision of ideas.

    The Immortal Master's theories gave Su Hao several entirely new inspirations.

    After carefully considering everything...

    Su Hao nodded.

    Then shook his head.

    The Immortal Master asked,

    "You disagree?"

    Su Hao answered,

    "I agree that your methods may greatly extend lifespan."

    "But..."

    "They'll never lead to eternity."

    "Whether you live one thousand years..."

    "...or ten thousand years..."

    "...there's fundamentally no difference."

    "Given enough time..."

    "Everything still disappears."


    ---

    The Immortal Master replied,

    "If my method succeeds..."

    "As long as Spiritual Power continues to exist..."

    "My essence will never perish."

    "Isn't that eternity?"

    Su Hao asked another question instead.

    "Do you know where that monster came from?"

    The Immortal Master nodded.

    "My investigation suggests..."

    "It was formed from the six masters of Moonwatch Valley."

    Su Hao nodded.

    "That should be correct."

    "So you also understand..."

    "Simply piling up Spiritual Power accomplishes nothing."

    "If the problem of consciousness isn't solved..."

    "True eternity is impossible."

    "In theory..."

    "As long as Spiritual Power is continuously supplied..."

    "That creature can survive indefinitely."

    "But what use is that?"

    "It has already lost the ability to think."

    "Only the instinct to devour Spiritual Power remains."


    ---

    Su Hao continued,

    "And where will unlimited Spiritual Power come from?"

    "For now..."

    "It can still be stolen."

    "But what happens if..."

    "One day..."

    "The Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth disappears altogether?"

    The Immortal Master frowned deeply.

    "Then..."

    "What should be done?"

    Su Hao replied,

    "The eternity of Spiritual Power..."

    "...and your own eternity..."

    "...are not necessarily the same thing."

    "Separate those two concepts."

    "The direction becomes much clearer."

    "You are you."

    "Spiritual Power is merely Spiritual Power."

    "Your consciousness should be the true core."

    "Not Spiritual Power."

    "You rely upon Spiritual Power far too heavily."

    "By now..."

    "You've probably already gone astray."

    "Constantly stacking Spiritual Power inside and outside your body..."

    "...is only superficial cultivation."


    ---

    The Immortal Master slowly repeated,

    "I am myself..."

    "Spiritual Power is Spiritual Power..."


    ---

    In reality...

    Su Hao's own thoughts were much simpler.

    "You're definitely wrong."

    "As for the correct answer..."

    "I don't know yet either."

    "But if you want more ideas..."

    "We'll have to exchange knowledge."


    ---

    The Immortal Master immediately understood.

    He recognized an entirely different philosophy of cultivation within Jia Wei.

    Something he desperately needed.

    Ordinarily...

    Anything he desired...

    He simply took by force.

    Now...

    He couldn't.

    So negotiation became the only option.


    ---

    Thus...

    Su Hao and the Immortal Master reached a preliminary agreement.

    Knowledge sharing.

    Equivalent exchange.

    Both sides would openly share their research concerning Spiritual Power.

    If one desired specific knowledge...

    It had to be exchanged with something of equal value.

    Each possessed what the other lacked.

    Their goals were similar.

    Their interests did not conflict.

    It was a mutually beneficial arrangement.

    The only real losers...

    Were perhaps those dozens of unconscious Unity Realm cultivators.

    Or perhaps...

    The countless immortal sects throughout the cultivation world.

    From this day onward...

    The future of the cultivation world was destined to change completely.

    Those who benefited today...

    Might not remain the beneficiaries tomorrow.


    ---

    By the end of their discussion...

    Su Hao and the Immortal Master found themselves speaking more and more naturally.

    Their earlier life-and-death battle already seemed like something that had happened long ago.

    Only Lin Mei and Lichi remained silent throughout.

    No one knew what they were thinking.


    ---

    Finally, the Immortal Master said,

    "Fellow Daoist Jia Wei..."

    "No matter what..."

    "I still wish to personally verify my original ideas."

    "I hope you'll return those fifty-eight living cultivators."

    Su Hao smiled.

    "Of course."

    With a wave of his hand—

    One unconscious Unity Realm cultivator after another appeared.

    Finally...

    The grotesque monster also returned.

    Then Su Hao added with a smile,

    "I'd like to participate in your experiment."

    The Immortal Master nodded without hesitation.

    "Certainly."
