This thought, once it surfaced, began to take root and sprout in Qin Luo's heart.
However, he quickly suppressed the doubts surging in his eyes and did not rush to verify them.
No matter how important Yaoyue's secret was, it wasn't as important as consolidating his cultivation right now. His gaze sharpened as he looked into the distance, and the next moment he transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the Spirit Abyss Treasure Vault.
Before long, after passing through a series of islands, Qin Luo arrived at his destination.
He handed the token to the elder in charge of the Lingyuan Treasury, and then stepped inside.
A familiar scene came into view: tens of thousands of orbs of light shuttled between the dome and the ground, blue light pouring down like the Milky Way, and golden light flashing like the blazing sun. But now, under his Saintly perception, those high-speed rotating orbs of light that had once troubled him were as clearly visible as still glass beads.
Without much hesitation, Qin Luo waved his hand lightly, and a strong wind suddenly arose from his sleeve, instantly covering a radius of tens of thousands of feet.
With simple manipulation of spiritual energy, it was like a hidden universe within a sleeve. The blue orbs of light that were originally darting around were attracted by a magnet and stopped in mid-air. Even the golden orbs of light hidden in the dark were drawn by this power and rushed towards him with their dazzling tails.
After removing the light spheres containing rare and precious materials, over a thousand light sphere carriers, each shimmering with a faint glow, floated before him. Qin Luo's gaze swept over them, a thoughtful smile playing on his lips:
"There are fifteen volumes of cultivation techniques at the Divine Technique level, which is a bit few, but the other techniques below the Divine Technique level are numerous. I don't know if comprehending these will be enough to support me in deriving the prototype of the supernatural power."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Luo had a thought, and thousands of light orbs suddenly transformed into streams of light that swirled around him.
As the "All Things Return to One" technique was fully activated, tiny, fine characters peeled off from the sphere of light, tracing dazzling paths in the air.
"go!"
Qin Luo let out a low shout, and with a light tap of his fingertip, all the characters that had been peeled off disappeared into the Origin Sea behind him.
The six divine soul figures simultaneously closed their eyes, beginning to fully comprehend the essence of the continuously flowing cultivation techniques and martial arts skills. In an instant, the five-colored spiritual energy within the Origin Sea surged wildly, unable to cease for a long time.
Qin Luo stared blankly at the tiny divine soul figure frantically deducing in the Sea of Origin, momentarily lost in thought. His memories involuntarily recalled the scene that had overturned his understanding when he viewed 'Transcendence' not long ago.
Looking back now, he seemed to see that figure sitting at the boundary between chaos and order again, with his sea of qi surging like molten gold, and what was boiling on the surface was a microcosm of the path of thousands of cultivators.
"Have I gone astray?"
The sound seemed to seep from a crack in the universe, causing the orbits of the stars to tremble slightly.
"The sea of qi is like a furnace, forging countless supernatural powers, but also trapping countless possibilities."
"The moment you build your Qi Sea, you put shackles on yourself. Your foundation is the chain, and your realm is the lock. Even if you cultivate to the highest level, your Qi Sea is still a finite sea. How can it contain the infinite Great Dao?"
In the scene, the powerful figure flicked his finger, and a small world actually appeared within his dantian:
Mountains stand tall, rivers and seas flow, and cultivators travel on clouds. Yet all of this is trapped beneath the dome of the Qi Sea. Though the trajectories of its operation are exquisite, they can never reach the surging primordial energy beyond the dome.
"Haha! So what if we successfully evolved the world, yet we're trapped in this small world? One wrong step leads to another! Why did we start right, but end up like this?"
He suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with desolation:
"Is this all there is to a lifetime? Ultimately, we cannot transform the finite into the infinite. This half-step is the iron wall I've erected for everyone..."
As the thought stopped, Qin Luo suddenly came back to his senses. The five-colored spiritual energy in his primordial sea was still surging, and his divine soul was still frantically deducing, but the phrase "transform the finite into the infinite" kept echoing in his ears.
The Qi Sea is the foundation of cultivation, but when the Qi Sea is strong enough to manifest the heavens and earth, does that mean one has truly reached the end of the Great Dao? Did the regret of that powerful figure before his death foreshadow his future path?
Qin Luo's fingertips unconsciously rubbed together, the image of the ancient powerhouse's laughter still echoing in his mind, and his mind became increasingly agitated.
"The Heavenly Origin Realm is not the end; above it... there is the Dao Realm."
As he muttered to himself, Qin Luo closed his eyes and meditated, recalling the descriptions of the Dao Realm in the book 'Transcendence'.
The so-called Dao realm is by no means an accumulation of realms, but rather a breaking of all existing perceptions, forging a path that no one has ever walked before amidst all perceptions.
One generation plants the trees so that another can enjoy the shade, but if one wants to see a wider world, one must cut off the branches that block the view.
In layman's terms, it means forging one's own path before being qualified to enter that realm. But for Qin Luo at this point, it's undoubtedly wishful thinking. He hasn't even attempted to comprehend supernatural powers, so he has no right to even dream of such a realm.
That's why he said it was fortunate that it wasn't too late. There are still five years before the simulated boundary river shatters. During this time, as long as he can comprehend more cultivation techniques, with the profound mystery of the Myriad Phenomena Return to One Technique, he will eventually be able to embark on his own path.
Integrating all laws and creating one's own supernatural powers—isn't this the prototype of stepping into the Dao realm?
The little soul figure in the Origin Sea was still deducing, but at this moment, his gaze was no longer limited to this trapped world.
"Perhaps, my path should never have been this way from the beginning..."
If the information recorded in 'Transcendence' is correct, Qin Luo had a general idea of what was going on.
The system he is currently cultivating should be the method created by that person as recorded in 'Transcendence'. Moreover, judging from his self-talk, the direction of his Qi Sea is correct, but something happened along the way that led to the deviation in the result, so that he ultimately failed to reach the infinite realm.
In the end, Qin Luo shook his head helplessly. The light in his eyes, though not extinguished, had dimmed somewhat. All of this was indeed too far away for him now. Even though he longed for it, he understood that one cannot become fat overnight, and one must take things one step at a time.
