Chapter 446

After organizing everything properly, Su Hao returned to the meditation room and arranged his study plan: “I’ve already reached the Nascent Soul State, but I don’t know how to break through to the Unity State. It’s unlikely that I can exchange for Unity techniques in the disciple records. I’ll have to find a Unity cultivator to ask when I have time.”

Asking was certain, but the timing wasn’t right yet. Su Hao didn’t know much about the special techniques of Unity cultivators. It might be dangerous to chat with them casually.

So for now, he should focus on sorting out various cultivation knowledge, thoroughly understanding the core ideas of Unity cultivators’ techniques, and finding a way to counter them.

This wasn’t to say that Su Hao couldn’t defeat Unity cultivators. On the contrary, with his current abilities, killing Unity cultivators was entirely feasible. Just throw down a big bomb, and who could withstand it?

But doing so was meaningless.

Killing was just a simple and violent way to achieve one’s goals, and it had its limitations. Killing someone didn’t solve all problems.

Moreover, Su Hao wasn’t someone who took pleasure in killing.

What he wanted was to understand the attack methods of Unity cultivators, find ways to counter them, render Unity cultivators powerless against him, and make them willing to sit down and communicate with him.

As for those who stubbornly refused to communicate and cooperate, a single slash would suffice.

“First, I’ll organize the books I collected recently, read them carefully, and at the same time, practice controlling this heavy spiritual energy. Although the quantity is large, it’s not very easy to handle.”

The fundamental reason was that Su Hao’s spiritual energy was too vast, and his mental energy hadn’t been specially trained over the years, resulting in delays in controlling spiritual energy.

He couldn’t tolerate this!

Once someone had experienced 5G, how could they tolerate 3G?

Deep in the Lingshan Continent, inside a majestic palace.

A man emitting a scattered aura sat on a huge chair, his eyes slightly closed in contemplation. This man was the self-proclaimed Immortal Master. Not far in front of the Immortal Master stood a woman with purple lips named Lin Mei.

After a moment, the Immortal Master opened his sunken eyes, revealing a cold light, and muttered, “I didn’t expect that the Crystal Thief would actually have a connection with the Yunzhong Valley.

Lin Mei smiled and said, “It’s all thanks to the keen eyes of Left Hall Master. Otherwise, we might have overlooked the crucial cyan light artifact. At the time of besieging the Qianfeng Assembly, there was a low-level disciple who, relying on the sharpness of his artifact, actually killed seven Golden Core cultivators in a row. If multiple people hadn’t witnessed it, it would have been hard to believe it was true.”

“And then suddenly, the ‘Crystal Thief’ appeared, instantly killing the two Nascent Soul State cultivators from the Triple Phoenix Pavilion, forcing them to self-destruct. Coincidentally, the artifact used by the ‘Crystal Thief’ had similarities with the cyan light artifact used by that low-level disciple from the Yunzhong Valley.”

“Hehe, obviously, that low-level disciple from the Yunzhong Valley is related to the ‘Crystal Thief,’ or rather, the ‘Crystal Thief’ is related to the Yunzhong Valley. In this way, things become very interesting.”

A smile appeared at the corner of the Immortal Master’s mouth as he slowly said, “The truth doesn’t matter, actually. Even if the Yunzhong Valley has nothing to do with the Crystal Thief, as long as the two are connected, someone will find a way to gather evidence. In the end, the results will be the same.”

Lin Mei smiled and said, “What the Immortal Master said is true.”

The Immortal Master pondered for a moment before saying, “Since all major sects have been robbed by the Crystal Thief and harbor deep hatred towards it, we can take advantage of this. Lin Mei, convey my orders.”

“Firstly, collect as much information as possible about the ‘Crystal Thief,’ select it, and spread it out. The goal is to let interested parties figure it out for themselves, understand?”

“Secondly, inform Left Hall Master Ehuan to take full responsibility for the affairs of the thirty-nine mortal domains. Tell him that I not only want to crush the Yunzhong Valley but also want to severely damage the vitality of other immortal sects.”

“Thirdly, take advantage of the chaos in the thirty-nine mortal domains, when they have no time to spare for Lingshan Continent, and accelerate the collection of Blood Spirits! Right Hall Master Lichi is in charge. If encountering tough opponents, report back and I will personally take care of it.”

Lin Mei: “Yes, Immortal Master!”

The Immortal Master slowly raised his head and let out a long sigh. “Above Unity is eternal life! For the future, sacrifices are worth it!”

One year quietly passed.

In the past six months, Su Hao had gained a lot. He had gained some insights into how to break through from the Nascent Soul State to the Unity State: by ‘implanting’ spiritual energy of the same attribute, forcibly breaking through the spiritual power limit of the Nascent Soul State, allowing the body to undergo a deeper ‘spiritualization,’ and gaining a longer lifespan.

After reaching the perfection of the Nascent Soul State, the proportion of spiritual power in the body had reached a relative limit and could not continue to increase.

When refined spiritual power was added to the body, the original same amount of spiritual power in the body would dissipate, maintaining a balance at the limit.

It was like sugar dissolving in water. When the concentration of sugar in the water reached saturation, adding more sugar to the water would not dissolve it further.

In other words, after reaching the perfection of the Nascent Soul State, the spiritual power in the body could not increase no matter how much one cultivated.

Cultivators in this world had long struggled to break through this limit.

So, some people came up with crooked ideas and targeted others: since their own spiritual power couldn’t increase, could they break through this barrier using external force?

Obviously, that person failed.

But this accidental idea became known to more and more people. Later, a clever and ruthless person used the spiritual power of his fellow disciples to implant into his body.

Although the implanted spiritual power dissipated soon after, resulting in failure! But he keenly discovered the difference: the implanted spiritual power from his fellow disciples was preserved for a period of time!

And this was the hope of breaking through the limit!

Then, he brought disaster upon all the fellow disciples of his sect.

Shortly after, he created the first Unity technique, some called it the “Three Spiritual Unity Method,” while others called it the “Three Spiritual Eternal Life Method.” Regardless of its name, the core idea was to use the similar yet different spiritual powers of three fellow disciples to form a ‘Three Spiritual Lockheart Array,’ implant it into the body, and completely break through the body’s spiritual power limit, achieving Unity!

This person was the first Unity in the world, shaking the world for a thousand years! He was called the Unity Yuan Immortal!

Later on…

Somehow, the secret of Unity became known, and many painstakingly cultivated, outdated disciples suffered.

More and more Unity cultivators were born!

Finally, there weren’t enough senior disciples, so some naive Nascent Soul State cultivators set their sights on their disciples…

The development of events gradually turned inexplicable. Strange sects emerged in the thirty-nine mortal domains, recruiting disciples eagerly, willing to nurture anyone with sufficient talent.

They were called: “For the inheritance of the sect, recruiting disciples widely.”

Since then, the era of prosperous cultivation began!

This outcome made Su Hao shake his head in dismay: The path of Unity, continuing upward, was probably not viable!

From the Nascent Soul State upward, the cultivation world seemed to have gone astray. But things were just so miraculous. Once it went astray, it was incredibly difficult to turn back.

Su Hao thought to himself, “Is breaking through the Nascent Soul State always about plundering the same-source spiritual power? Not necessarily! However, the idea of using external force to break through the limit does have its merits.”

Having learned the secret of the Unity realm, Su Hao temporarily abandoned the idea of breaking through the Unity realm along this path, even though he had three sources of the same spiritual power in his hands.

This path of promotion through plundering same-source spiritual power clearly didn’t suit Su Hao.

If he were to reincarnate into another world in the future, whom would he plunder? Yashan? Obviously, that wasn’t feasible.

Therefore, to obtain a longer lifespan, he had to find other feasible methods starting from himself!

“There must be other methods to break through the limit of the Nascent Soul State!”

Most importantly, Su Hao had an inexplicable confidence that he could find this breakthrough method!

“Give me some time, and I’ll pave a different path to the sun, spreading it openly and completely overturning this strange ‘Unity realm’.”

Let this unsightly cultivation world come to an end!

Then, let’s delve into practical spiritual power technology together.

As for whether Su Hao, as an Nascent Soul State cultivator, was at a disadvantage against Unity cultivators, Su Hao’s answer was: “The advantage is mine!”

    Chapter 446

    After putting everything in order, Su Hao returned to the meditation chamber and organized his next research plan.

    "I've already reached the Nascent Soul Realm, but I still don't know how to advance into the Unity Realm."

    "It's unlikely that the disciple archives contain the Unity cultivation methods."

    "So eventually... I'll have to find a Unity cultivator and ask."

    That much was inevitable.

    However, now was not the right time.

    Su Hao still knew too little about the abilities unique to Unity cultivators. Approaching one carelessly could easily become dangerous.

    For the moment, his priority was to thoroughly organize everything he had learned about cultivation, understand the principles behind Unity techniques, and develop reliable countermeasures.

    This wasn't because he believed he couldn't defeat a Unity cultivator.

    On the contrary.

    With his current abilities, killing one was entirely possible.

    If necessary, he could simply drop a massive explosive formation.

    Who could survive that?

    But killing someone solved very few problems.

    Violence was only one method of achieving a goal, and it had obvious limitations.

    Nor did Su Hao enjoy killing.

    What he wanted was to understand how Unity cultivators fought, discover methods to neutralize their abilities, and leave them with no choice but to sit down and have a proper conversation.

    As for those who still refused to cooperate...

    One slash would be enough.


    ---

    "First, I'll organize the books I've collected over the past year."

    "At the same time, I'll continue improving my control over this enormous amount of spiritual power."

    "Although the quantity is immense..."

    "It still isn't responsive enough."

    The reason was simple.

    His spiritual power had grown far beyond normal limits, while his Spiritual Intent had not been refined over decades like ordinary cultivators.

    The result was occasional delays between thought and execution.

    Su Hao couldn't tolerate that.

    Once someone had experienced 5G, how could they willingly return to 3G?

    Deep within Spirit Mountain Continent

    Inside a magnificent palace...

    A man surrounded by an unfathomable aura sat upon a massive throne with his eyes closed.

    He was the self-proclaimed Immortal Master.

    Standing respectfully before him was a woman with violet lips—

    Lin Mei.

    After a long silence, the Immortal Master slowly opened his eyes.

    A cold light flashed within them.

    "I didn't expect..."

    "That Crystal Thief would actually be connected to Moonwatch Valley."

    Lin Mei smiled.

    "Fortunately, Left Hall Master was observant."

    "Otherwise, we would have overlooked that cyan flying sword."

    "During the siege of the Qianfeng Assembly, one low-level disciple relied solely on that weapon to kill seven Golden Core cultivators in succession."

    "If countless people hadn't witnessed it themselves..."

    "No one would have believed such a thing."

    She continued,

    "Later, Crystal Thief suddenly appeared and instantly killed two Nascent Soul cultivators from Triple Phoenix Pavilion, forcing them to self-destruct."

    "The weapon used then bore obvious similarities to the cyan sword that disciple wielded."

    "So..."

    "Whether Crystal Thief belongs to Moonwatch Valley..."

    "Or merely has connections with it..."

    "Either way..."

    "The matter has become extremely interesting."


    ---

    The Immortal Master smiled faintly.

    "The truth is irrelevant."

    "Even if Moonwatch Valley has nothing to do with Crystal Thief..."

    "As long as people believe the two are connected..."

    "Someone will eventually produce convincing evidence."

    "The final outcome will be exactly the same."

    Lin Mei bowed.

    "The Immortal Master's wisdom is unmatched."


    ---

    After thinking briefly, the Immortal Master issued several orders.

    "First."

    "Continue collecting information related to Crystal Thief."

    "Select only the useful parts."

    "Spread them quietly."

    "The people who should notice will eventually piece everything together themselves."

    "Second."

    "Inform Left Hall Master Ehuan."

    "The affairs of the Thirty-Nine Mortal Domains are now entirely his responsibility."

    "I don't merely want Moonwatch Valley destroyed."

    "I want every immortal sect there to suffer severe losses."

    "Third."

    "Use the current chaos within the Thirty-Nine Mortal Domains."

    "While those sects are distracted..."

    "Accelerate the harvesting of Blood Spirits."

    "Right Hall Master Lichi will oversee this."

    "If an opponent proves troublesome..."

    "Report directly to me."

    "I will deal with them personally."

    Lin Mei bowed deeply.

    "Understood."


    ---

    The Immortal Master slowly leaned back.

    His gaze drifted toward the distant heavens.

    "Beyond the Unity Realm..."

    "Lies true immortality."

    "For that future..."

    "Any sacrifice is worthwhile."


    ---

    One year later

    The year passed quietly.

    During that time, Su Hao gained tremendous insight.

    He finally uncovered the secret behind advancing from the Nascent Soul Realm into the Unity Realm.

    It involved...

    implanting spiritual power of the same attribute.


    ---

    After reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, the body's degree of spiritualization reached its natural limit.

    No matter how much one cultivated...

    Additional spiritual power simply could not remain within the body.

    Adding more refined spiritual power merely caused an equal amount to leak away.

    The total never increased.

    It resembled sugar dissolving in water.

    Once saturation was reached...

    Adding more sugar accomplished nothing.


    ---

    Cultivators had struggled against this limitation for countless generations.

    Eventually...

    Someone proposed an unusual idea.

    "If my own spiritual power cannot increase..."

    "Could I borrow someone else's?"

    The first attempt failed.

    However...

    An observant cultivator noticed something important.

    Although the borrowed spiritual power eventually dispersed...

    It remained inside the body for a brief period.

    That...

    was enough.

    It revealed a path forward.


    ---

    He immediately turned his attention toward his fellow disciples.

    Not long afterward...

    He slaughtered nearly everyone in his sect.

    Using the spiritual power of three cultivators sharing the same attribute...

    He created the first Three-Spirit Lockheart Array.

    The three streams of similar—but not identical—spiritual power stabilized one another inside his body.

    Together...

    They shattered the natural limit of the Nascent Soul Realm.

    The world's first Unity Realm cultivator was born.

    He became known as...

    Unity Immortal Yuan.

    For an entire millennium...

    His name shook the cultivation world.


    ---

    Eventually...

    The secret of the Unity Realm spread.

    The tragedy only worsened.

    Senior disciples became targets.

    When they became scarce...

    People began eyeing their own disciples instead.

    Thus...

    More and more sects began recruiting talented youngsters under the noble banner of:

    "For the continuation of our inheritance."

    And so...

    The great flourishing age of cultivation officially began.


    ---

    After reading all this...

    Su Hao slowly shook his head.

    "So..."

    "The cultivation path beyond the Nascent Soul Realm..."

    "Has already gone astray."

    Once an entire civilization walked down the wrong road...

    Turning back became extraordinarily difficult.


    ---

    He thought quietly,

    "Breaking through doesn't necessarily require stealing another person's spiritual power."

    "But..."

    "The underlying idea is worth studying."

    "Using external force to break through an internal limit..."

    "That concept itself has value."


    ---

    Although he now possessed three sources of Wind spiritual power...

    Su Hao immediately abandoned the idea of advancing through the traditional Unity method.

    It simply wasn't suitable for him.

    If he reincarnated into another world later...

    Whose spiritual power would he steal then?

    Yashan's?

    Impossible.

    If he wanted a path that transcended worlds...

    It had to rely entirely upon himself.


    ---

    "There must be another way."

    "A genuine method to break the limits of the Nascent Soul Realm."


    ---

    More importantly...

    Su Hao possessed absolute confidence.

    He believed that method existed.

    And he believed...

    He would find it.


    ---

    "Give me enough time..."

    "I'll create an entirely new path."

    "A path leading toward the sun."

    "I'll publish it openly."

    "And completely overturn this twisted Unity cultivation system."


    ---

    Then...

    The cultivation world could finally leave behind this ugly cycle of slaughter.

    And begin pursuing something truly worthwhile—

    the science of spiritual power.


    ---

    As for whether remaining in the Nascent Soul Realm placed him at a disadvantage against Unity cultivators...

    Su Hao only smiled.

    "The advantage..."

    "is mine."
