Cao Ya noticed the excitement in everyone's emotions, as well as some indescribable psychological fluctuations.
After all, he had not truly ventured into the ancient world and experienced the human predicament firsthand. Even if he had some understanding, he did not have a deep appreciation for it.
However, Cao Ya's goal is not to reach the Supreme level, but to graft the martial arts of the "Nine Cauldrons Chronicle" world onto the universe, and to change the cultivation system of all mankind in the infinite planes, including the Primordial World, in the "After Ascension" universe.
Otherwise, how can one break through the four-star limit and reach a five-star level comparable to the God of Light and Darkness?
Cao Ya didn't want to see the tragedy of Feng Yun Wuji in the original work, or any other human tragedy.
Since there is a suitable path, why not give it a try?
The martial arts of the world, as described in "The Nine Cauldrons Chronicle," can most likely circumvent the limitations of the laws of balance by spreading throughout this universe.
Looking at Feng Yun Wuji amidst the storm, Cao Ya pondered:
"Feng Yun Wuji cultivates the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Profound Technique, right? I also saw this martial art inside the Holy Temple."
He added in his mind, "This is one of the few martial arts techniques I would never practice, even if you killed me!"
"That's right, it's the Nine Revolutions of Life and Death Profound Art. This is a martial art where nine out of ten people die but one survives. Legend has it that the last person to cultivate this martial art was a person from ten million years ago. It is said that he cultivated it to the sixth level of the Nine Revolutions of Life and Death Profound Art. At that time, there were only a handful of people in the entire ancient world who could defeat him, making him extremely powerful. It's just a pity that he still exploded and died when he was cultivating the seventh level." The attendant on the left sighed. If that person hadn't died, he would at least be at the seventh level of cultivation by now, and might even have become a Supreme Being.
Alas...
“I’ve read some records. I heard that the person back then was a martial arts prodigy who was said to have the talent of a god. I never thought that practicing this profound skill would end up like this.” A man in a long robe seemed to have a lot of insight. Hearing the words of the attendant on the left, he immediately added.
The waiter on the right glanced at the beautiful woman who had spoken first and said calmly:
"If you also wish to learn this 'Nine Revolutions Life and Death Profound Art,' you can go to the No. 1 Martial Arts Holy Land. At the 1,800th stone step, you can find the mental cultivation method for this profound art. I also have some understanding of this martial art. The first step in practicing the 'Nine Revolutions Life and Death Profound Art' is to disperse one's internal energy!"
Upon hearing the words "dissipation of power," everyone's expression changed, and they looked at each other in silence.
"We have cultivated for so long, expending countless efforts. How could we possibly give up our skills for a mere martial art?" Someone shook their head, suppressing the impulse that had just arisen in their heart.
"This person named Feng Yun Wuji has just ascended to immortality, no wonder he chose the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Profound Technique." Someone sighed.
Everyone else also showed expressions of nostalgia.
“I believe that Feng Yun Wuji can perfect the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Profound Technique and truly achieve its mastery,” Cao Ya said.
"I hope so," said the waiter on the right.
If Feng Yun Wuji can truly master the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Profound Technique, the human race will likely gain another supreme being.
Is there really any hope?
Apart from Cao Ya, no one else present was optimistic about the chances.
"By the way, Cao Ya, you just said that the martial arts of the Primordial World are too general and vague, and the realms are not clearly defined. From what you're saying, it seems you have some other ideas?" the attendant on the right asked with great interest.
After everyone figured out the root cause of the strange changes in the world's energy, they were all preparing to leave. However, upon hearing the attendant's question, they had a change of heart and decided to stay.
“I do have some ideas.” Cao Ya nodded. “The lower realm I’m in is quite special. Originally, only Emperor-level experts could break through it, but it’s still a long way from the late stage of God-level.”
Everyone listened attentively, knowing that the newly ascended being Cao Ya, whose life had just shattered, was about to reveal the secret behind his reaching the late-stage godhood in the lower realm.
It concerns something godlike; who wouldn't be curious?
If it touches on their minds... that would be a great thing for them!
Even the two temple attendants were extremely serious.
If any powerful cultivator at the late stage of the god-level were willing to reveal their cultivation secrets, countless people would be eager to know them.
However, this is difficult, since even if the human race is in a difficult situation, the internal struggles are not simply eliminated.
"Actually, I could have broken through many years ago, but I wasn't in a hurry. No matter what world I go to, strength is the most important thing. At that time, I didn't know the situation of the human race in the upper realm." Cao Ya said calmly, "Although I stayed in the lower realm, I didn't just focus on my own cultivation. I created some Dao songs to provide for all the people in the world. Even while working, people can cultivate and increase their strength. So the lower realm where I am has been upgraded. Now, even Emperor-level experts cannot break through, only early-stage God-level experts can."
"And I had many feelings during that time."
"I believe that pursuing the quantity of true qi in martial arts cultivation is not impossible, but the rules restrict it, so this path is not advisable."
"As for comprehending the rules..."
“When I was in the lower realm, I naturally had this thought as well, and I gained a lot from it. Because I did not experience the things in the upper realm, I am not clear about the various things in the ancient world, so my path is not the same as yours.”
Cao Ya spoke calmly, but everyone who listened was astonished.
The lower realm where Cao Ya is located used to be at the Emperor level, but now it requires the early stage of the God level to break through. This was beyond everyone's expectations, but it was not an isolated case. Even though the conditions had become more outrageous, it was still barely acceptable.
However, everyone was taken aback and surprised by Cao Ya's words, which suggested a different path.
In the universe, across countless planes, what difference could there be between martial arts and magic?
"What is your path?" the attendant on the left asked.
"They're both trying to comprehend the rules, so what's the difference?" the attendant on the right asked as well.
Cao Ya smiled and slowly said:
Even if they all comprehend the rules, their paths of cultivation are still quite different.
"In the ancient world, the martial arts of the Emperor level control the power of heaven and earth, the God level utilizes the rules, and the Supreme level goes a step further, but it is still within the scope of utilizing the rules. Even the supreme God of Light and Darkness is no exception. It is the difference between comprehending the Dao, mastering the Dao, and merging with the Dao."
The expressions of the crowd changed slightly. The God of Light and Darkness was the most powerful life form in the universe, invincible throughout history.
The predicament of the human race is precisely because of the lack of a human being with the status of a supreme god.
The temple attendant hesitated, wanting to interrupt, but since it involved the chief god, it was best not to say anything.
"I know what I'm doing," Cao Ya reassured them, sensing their concerns.
Seeing this, everyone felt a little relieved.
Then, Cao Ya scanned everyone, and the Yuan Qi storm beside him also stopped. Feng Yun Wuji, who was cultivating and had made some progress, had stopped and was listening to Cao Ya's speech with great focus.
Cao Ya looked puzzled and asked:
"I've always been confused. Why must I master the rules, conform to the laws of the universe, and wield the power over one or more systems of cosmic laws and rules, once I've comprehended them?"
Upon hearing this question, everyone's expressions became quite strange.
"What kind of question is this? If you want to become the supreme being, if you want to become the chief god, then you must do this and wield the power of the laws." The attendant on the right smiled smugly.
Everyone shook their heads and pursed their lips. They thought Cao Ya would say something insightful, but it turned out he was just a god-level late-stage cultivator with limited vision.
I really don't know how he cultivated to the late stage of the God level.
Is it really necessary to ask such a common-sense question?
However, considering that Cao Ya had just ascended to immortality, people expressed their understanding and hoped that Cao Ya's mindset would change as soon as possible.
"Otherwise, such a promising talent would be ruined like this," the crowd sighed.
