Cosmic-Level Demon God

"The Holy Embryo Stage, the most difficult part is how to 'refine the essence' after absorbing dimensional energy. Be it wind or fire, these natural attributes are like minerals full of impurities. If not purified, the spirit will be polluted."

Qin Shi once heard Super Little He talk about it. The biggest difference between the Spiritual Ability Path and the Martial Arts Path is that the latter brings powerful forces into oneself, while the former is like navigating through a stormy sea, with great risk of capsizing.

Before reaching the 'Manifestation of the Divine' level, the spirit might even experience a regression.

Falling from Sitting and Forgetting to the Holy Embryo, and then from the Holy Embryo to Meditation, even becoming an ordinary person.

Therefore, ancient classic stories often have similar plots.

Ordinary people go through the various states of mortal life, and suddenly achieve enlightenment to become immortal;

Immortals with perfected virtues fall into demonic ways at a single thought, losing all their cultivation.

These seemingly clichéd stories actually contain allegories about cultivation.

"I finally understand why Old He cultivates so monstrously fast."

Qin Shi operated the Void Meditation Technique, and in his Sea of Consciousness, an ancient altar appeared. The dimensional energy falling from the Netherworld fissures was absorbed into it, like iron being melted in a forge, purifying the impurities and leaving only the essence like liquid droplets.

He opened his eyes, revealing a look of surprise, not expecting Old He's self-created 'Void Meditation Technique' to be so fierce.

Operating his spirit, accommodating all phenomena, encompassing everything and integrating everything.

This inheritance is simply like a cheat, enough for one to forge ahead on the Spiritual Ability Path without worrying about any bottlenecks.

"Senior Sister Yu's Specialized Level characteristic is 'Domination.' If I reach that step on the Spiritual Ability Path, the characteristic I obtain might well be something like 'Instant Refinement.'"

Qin Shi used to doubt the strength of He Lanchan's inheritance, not living up to its imagined invincibility once fully cultivated.

Now he finally understood that it was because he hadn't reached the necessary level, unable to fully utilize its power.

"Unfortunately, the Iron Curtain defenses of Central City are even more solid than those of the Tai'an Metropolitan Area, making it impossible to absorb a large amount of dimensional energy."

Qin Shi felt a bit regretful, thinking that if he had another chance to bathe in heavenly light, he could operate the Void Meditation Technique to refine a vast amount of essence, filling the empty twelve-sided crystals.

"Little He, Little He, do you have any means to help me connect these two paths?"

Finishing his cultivation course, Qin Shi sought assistance from the nearly omnipotent Super Little He.

When it comes to climbing pathways, the latter is even more useful than Baidu Search.

"Didn't you already figure it out yourself? Why still ask me then?"

Super Little He remained expressionless. The Inner World is a weaving of spirits, unless Qin Shi deliberately conceals it, his thoughts would be revealed with emotional fluctuations.

"I want to discuss the feasibility with you."

Qin Shi rubbed his hands. His unusually active thoughts collided, leading him to comprehend a method that could potentially connect the Spiritual Ability and Martial Arts paths.

"He Lanchan has done it before. Do you know why he created the Void Meditation Technique? It's the bridge for the Unity of Spirit and Body to connect the two paths."

Super Little He said calmly.

"I thought the same as Old He."

Qin Shi punched his palm, feeling quite excited.

Since He Lanchan had personally practiced it, it proved that his idea was not wrong.

"Using the Void Meditation Technique to absorb dimensional energy, refine the essence, then train the physical body using natural attributes like 'wind', 'fire', 'thunder', and 'electricity', transforming the mortal body. In this way, both paths will progress simultaneously and be connected in one go!"

This was the method Qin Shi had figured out.

"However, this method is also risky."

Super Little He frowned as he struggled to recall:

"Before He Lanchan broke through both paths, he often mysteriously self-combusted, got struck by lightning, or suffered frostbite because he absorbed too much natural attribute energy essence. In the ancient times, this was called 'Transcendence,' as one's power attracted celestial tribulations."

Qin Shi's mouth twitched, thinking that he had just entered the Specialized Domain, unlikely to attract any significant tribulations.

...

The night gradually grew dense, and the brightly lit Central City pierced through the clouds, a large full moon emerged from them, casting serene and soft, bright light.

A flying device shaped like a long shuttle passed through, scattering the strands of cold clouds.

By rights, each capital city of an Administrative New Star would have a no-fly ordinance, even trains traveling on suspended tracks couldn't exceed a certain height, let alone a flying device brazenly appearing within the inner ring area of Central City.

But faced with this silver-white flying device bearing the three-legged bird emblem, all ground units remained silent, acting as if they didn't see it, allowing it to land flamboyantly on the helipad of the second airborne garden.

The young man wearing tailored high-quality clothes stepped out of the open hatch onto the soft grass.

His long hair reaching his waist was striking—fiery red and hot—not dyed but burning like flames, gently swaying with the night breeze.

This man was the first heir of the Ying family's lineage, Ying Huang.

"Ying Lin is confined in the little red building and can't come out, so I have to go see him myself."

Ying Huang had a handsome face, thin lips, exuding a touch of indifference.

Even when he smiled warmly, there was a hint of mockery and jest.

A middle-aged butler followed behind him, always half a step behind, yet maintaining a safe distance:

"Young Master Huang, Holvren has not yet responded, but sometimes silence is a form of expression.

If that descendant of Nanhuang Daoist School truly wishes to reconcile, it's impossible he would delay until now."

Ying Huang walked quickly and soon entered the door. The second airborne garden is the most luxurious high-end area in Central City, aside from the Governor's Mansion.
