My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World
Chapter 92: The Human Race, Possessing a Spirit of Exploration and Dialectics
Given the karmic connection between Zhao Xuan and Zhao Xuancheng, the power of their supernatural abilities is unimaginable.
Therefore, the formation used to suppress and protect Zhao Xuancheng was easily destroyed by the Seven Arrows of Nailhead.
To prevent the Seven Arrows of Nailhead from actually harming Zhao Xuancheng, Zhengli Wuying concealed his figure.
Then, using the Star Shift technique, Zhao Xuancheng was transferred to the Instant Realm.
Every step required precise execution; a slight misstep and the seven arrows would have killed Zhao Xuancheng.
After Zhao Xuancheng emerged from seclusion, he thanked Zhao Xuan and began discussing the Dao with him.
Through discussions with Zhao Xuan, it was learned that Zhao Xuancheng had been condensing supernatural talismans for over four thousand years.
Zhao Xuan then realized that Zhao Xuancheng wanted to pursue the path of becoming a supreme saint.
In ancient times, there were three paths of cultivation for the human race that could lead to the attainment of Dao Fruit: the Dao Fruit of the Human Emperor Path, the Dao Fruit of Creation in the Immortal Path, and the Dao Fruit of Faith in the Buddhist Path.
Other paths of cultivation do not have an eighth realm, so they only have the seed of the Dao but no fruit of the Dao.
Among them, the Dao Lord's Creation Dao Fruit is the most powerful.
The fundamental difference lies in the difference in the supernatural power of condensing the Dao seed.
The Human Emperor's Dao Fruit is formed from eighty-one kinds of immeasurable levels of divine power talismans.
The Dao Fruit of Faith is formed by the condensation of seventy-two immeasurable levels of supernatural talismans.
The Dao Fruit of Creation is formed by condensing one hundred and eight kinds of immeasurable levels of supernatural powers.
Therefore, you will find that there is a big difference between practitioners who are at the same level of supernatural powers.
After all, there is a significant difference between condensing one type of immeasurable divine power talisman and condensing dozens of types of immeasurable divine power talismans.
To elevate any supernatural power to an immeasurable level, the practitioner needs to devote a great deal of effort.
Despite the pressure of offending humanity, it would take Zhao Xuan about a hundred years to elevate a great supernatural power to the level of immeasurable supernatural power.
Others often need tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to improve a single supernatural power to the immeasurable level.
Moreover, these supernatural abilities are not chosen randomly, but must be related.
For example, the supernatural powers required for the Dao Fruit of Creation are collectively referred to as the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang and the Seventy Transformations of the Earthly Fiends.
The eighty-one supernatural powers of the Human Dao Fruit must be supernatural powers that contain the rules of the Imperial Dao.
The seventy-two supernatural powers of the Dao Fruit of Faith must also contain supernatural powers related to the rules of the divine path.
After condensing the Dao Fruit, one will attain eternal life.
However, the human race is a contradictory group, with some desperately pursuing power, strength, immortality, and transcendence.
Some people only pursue fleeting glory.
If condensing the Dao Fruit is so difficult, then don't try to condense the Dao Fruit. Instead, pursue ultimate combat power and unleash your most brilliant glory.
Thus, the level of spiritual treasures emerged above boundless supernatural powers or Dao artifacts.
When they discover that their supernatural powers have reached a point where they cannot be further improved, they will combine the supernatural talismans and Dao artifacts into one, creating a spiritual treasure-level existence.
It's not that having boundless supernatural powers to refine into spiritual treasures is so powerful, but rather that the essence of this world is still the material world.
Using supernatural talismans to unleash supernatural powers is merely mobilizing the power of the rules within those powers.
Once refined into a spiritual treasure, the supernatural power is no longer just a set of rules, but also includes the material of the artifact itself.
The Lingbao combines the advantages of matter and supernatural powers, possessing boundless might.
Moreover, because the artifact is in harmony with the cultivator's Dao, it loses all its power after the cultivator passes away.
If you're lucky, the spiritual essence of the materials used in the artifact may be preserved, allowing you to continue using it.
If you're unlucky, even the materials will crumble to dust.
The same applies to supernatural talismans. Although they can be given away, plundered, and inherited, all supernatural powers, regardless of their level, are bound to the cultivator's soul essence.
Once a new master is acquired, even if the original supernatural powers have been developed but are at the level of boundless supernatural powers, they will fall to the level of earthly evil and need to start developing and improving them all over again.
There is a consensus in the cultivation world that the lower the level of one's origin, the greater its power after it is elevated.
However, the more you improve, the harder it becomes.
For example, Zhao Tianming's Treasure-Dropping Coin is originally at the level of immeasurable supernatural power, so it would be relatively easy to develop it to the immeasurable level.
Zhongshan's Candle Nine Yin Eyes originated at the Heavenly Gang Divine Power level, and it is much more difficult to develop it to the Boundless level.
However, neither of them could defeat Hua Jun, because Hua Jun's Emperor's Descent Divine Power was upgraded step by step from Earthly Fiend Divine Power and Heavenly Gang Divine Power.
Similarly, the reason why Zhao Xuan's mind-fixing ability is so strong is because his mind-fixing ability was improved level by level.
The reason is simple: the higher the level of the origin of supernatural powers, the more rules of heaven and earth they contain.
Therefore, the space available for cultivators to develop their abilities is smaller, and those cultivators who can advance their supernatural powers are all geniuses.
The universe seeks balance, which may not be the path that practitioners themselves pursue.
Therefore, the rules of supernatural powers that cultivators complete themselves are not only more suitable for the cultivators themselves, but also more extreme.
The drop in grade of a magical talisman when it changes hands is actually the erasure of the original owner's understanding.
Therefore, it needs to be redeveloped and improved.
However, once it is refined into a spiritual treasure, the power of its supernatural abilities will be fixed.
The rules of supernatural power and the rules of matter are integrated and mutually protective, so even if the owner changes, the power of the magical treasure will not decrease.
This makes spiritual treasures more significant for inheritance than supernatural talismans.
Moreover, using spiritual treasures does not hinder cultivators from condensing supernatural powers.
Zhao Xuancheng gathered so many magical talismans because he wanted to create a spiritual treasure.
The Human Emperor's Holy Realm can condense fifteen azure dragons, but the Holy Path is not exclusive to the Human Path.
The Human Emperor's Way does indeed encompass many rules and paths, such as the Divine Way, the Saintly Way, the Imperial Way, and the Kingly Way, but in reality, the Human Emperor's Way is not subordinate to the Divine Way, the Saintly Way, the Imperial Way, or the Kingly Way.
The Human Emperor's Path simply came into contact with a portion of the rules of these Paths, which together formed the Human Emperor's Path, and can serve as a means of communication and connection with other Paths.
In reality, the Way of Gods, the Way of Saints, the Way of Emperors, and the Way of Kings are not weaker than the Way of Human Emperors.
It's just that it's difficult to achieve anything in the present moment, and spiritual practice is extremely difficult.
The Sacred Realm can condense fifteen azure dragons, not the Sacred Path itself, but rather the Sacred Path within the Human Emperor's Path, which can only support fifteen azure dragons.
The true path of holiness can condense three thousand dragons and elephants, each of which can merge with a primordial law. This is the path of cultivation pioneered by those primordial saints during the primordial era.
The next level of the Sacred Path is the Acquired Sacred Path opened up by the innate saints. It can condense 12,990 dragons and elephants, each of which can be integrated with an acquired law.
However, even the innate saints had not perfected the true path of holiness, so it was never passed down.
On the contrary, fragments of the lesser sacred path were transmitted to the world, which is the so-called supreme sacred path.
However, this sacred path was still prepared for innate races, so the foundation of acquired races was still difficult to support it.
If it cannot bear the weight, then suppress it. Use spiritual treasures to suppress its own foundation so that it can bear more dragons and elephants without collapsing.
Lingbao is a fusion of supernatural and material rules, making it most suitable for suppressing one's own foundation.
However, it is not easy to condense a divine power of immeasurable level, let alone refine it into a spiritual treasure.
Fortunately, spiritual treasures can be bought and sold, which gave Zhao Xuancheng the possibility of acquiring them.
The human race has a hundred grotto-heavens, several of which can be used to forge spiritual treasures and for trading.
For example, among the thirty-six great grotto-heavens of the human race, there is a grotto-heaven called Lingbao Pavilion, which not only creates and trades spiritual treasures, but also travels between the Heavenly Court and the Underworld to hold auctions.
However, the items used in the transaction were neither purple gold nor spiritual objects, but rather supernatural talismans.
To put it bluntly, you just need to focus on condensing supernatural talismans, regardless of whether they are useful to you or not; they can be used as items for trade later.
This method of trading is also very popular among people in the heavens and the underworld.
After all, they have plenty of things, but they have a large number of cultivators. If each of them gathers a single piece, it amounts to tens of millions of pieces.
As for why Lingbaoge acquired the supernatural talismans, it is said that Lingbaoge had mastered the method of synthesizing supernatural talismans.
Although the Human Emperor's Path has the Heavenly Emperor Realm, all humankind knows that the Human Emperor Realm is the pinnacle; otherwise, it wouldn't be called the Human Emperor's Path.
However, some things have no limit, such as magical treasures and supernatural powers.
When everyone believed that Dao artifacts were the limit of magical treasures, the human race developed a method to integrate Heavenly Connections into Dao artifacts. When everyone believed that integrating Cave Heavens into Dao artifacts was the limit of magical treasures, the human race further developed a method to integrate supernatural talismans into them.
Similarly, if supernatural powers can be integrated into Dao artifacts to become spiritual treasures, then could Dao seeds or Dao fruits be integrated into Dao artifacts to become even more powerful spiritual treasures?
After all, the Dao Seed and the Dao Fruit are formed by the fusion of supernatural powers.
However, the throne of the Human Emperor and the realm of the Human Emperor are the foundation of the human race, so naturally we cannot use the very things that provide them with a means of survival to conduct experiments.
Humans cannot afford the losses from a failed experiment.
Therefore, the Lingbao Pavilion, which is responsible for researching and upgrading spiritual treasures, took on this responsibility.
Lingbao Pavilion discovered that identical supernatural talismans can be fused together to form a stronger supernatural talisman.
Ninety-nine identical Earthly Fiend level divine power talismans can be fused into a Heavenly Gang level divine power talisman, and ninety-nine identical Heavenly Gang level divine power talismans can be fused into a Boundless level divine power talisman.
So, could ninety-nine immeasurable level divine power talismans be fused into a single, even stronger divine power talisman? It's just that this level of divine power has never been recognized by the human race.
Zhao Xuan knew that there was a limitless divine power above the limitless level of divine power because he had mastered the limitless version of the Flower Blooming Moment.
Others may not know this, but they can prove through argumentation that the immeasurable level of supernatural powers is not the end of supernatural powers.
However, it is by no means easy to fuse together supernatural talismans of immeasurable levels.
First, you need nearly a million divine talismans of the same divine power at the Earthly Fiend level.
Secondly, luck also plays a role. These nearly one million Earthly Fiend level supernatural talismans must not only be of the same supernatural power, but also contain different principles and laws.
It's like building a jigsaw puzzle. Each talisman containing different principles and laws is a piece of the puzzle, and pieces that are already in place will naturally no longer be effective.
Therefore, although it seems that nearly a million Earthly Fiend level supernatural talismans can be fused into countless supernatural talismans above the level, they often have little effect because most of the principles and methods are repetitive.
On the contrary, it is difficult to integrate.
It might take tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of talismans with the same supernatural power to assemble a complete set of principles and laws.
How many cultivators does the human race have in total?
Add to that those who are asleep, unwilling to be distracted in refining, or even those who don't believe in the theory at all, how many more make up the rest?
Therefore, even now, the human race has not yet fused together a divine talisman that surpasses the immeasurable level.
This is a strategy implemented by the human race as a long-term plan, and the human race did not expect to be able to integrate it in a few million years.
Therefore, Lingbao Pavilion both acquired supernatural talismans from outsiders and exchanged them for spiritual treasures.
Nearly ten thousand supernatural talismans can be fused into a supernatural talisman of immeasurable level.
Adding in various costs, the price at Lingbao Pavilion is 50,000 supernatural talismans for one low-level spiritual treasure.
This low-level spiritual treasure contains a supernatural talisman of immeasurable power.
Two hundred thousand supernatural talismans can be exchanged for a mid-level spiritual treasure, and three supernatural talismans of immeasurable level can be fused together.
One million supernatural talismans can be exchanged for a high-level spiritual treasure, which integrates nine immeasurable-level supernatural talismans.
Five million supernatural talismans can be exchanged for a top-tier spiritual treasure, which integrates twenty-seven immeasurable level supernatural talismans.
The reason why the supernatural talismans in Lingbao can be upgraded threefold is, as mentioned before, because the three-element structure has stable characteristics.
As for the spiritual treasure with eighty-one immeasurable levels of supernatural powers and talismans, it does not exist.
After all, the Dao Fruit of Faith requires the fusion of seventy-two immeasurable levels of supernatural talismans.
However, if you want to use a certain magical artifact, you yourself must also possess that supernatural power.
Supernatural talismans are not unique to humans; in fact, humans learned to condense supernatural powers from the demon race.
Therefore, supernatural talismans are obtained by killing demons and refining their flesh and blood.
Over the millennia, the human race has killed countless demonic beasts, but the method of condensing spiritual treasures only began in recent times. Therefore, the human race has not actually collected many supernatural talismans.
While the human race has not yet fused together supernatural talismans beyond the immeasurable level, they do indeed possess spiritual treasures condensed from Dao seeds or even Dao fruits.
This kind of spiritual treasure is called a primordial spiritual treasure.
The price of a Primordial Spiritual Treasure is one hundred million Supernatural Talismans.
However, these innate spiritual treasures are difficult for an individual to mobilize; they require the combined efforts of the Heavenly Court or the Underworld to use.
Just as humans must master certain supernatural powers to use a certain magical artifact.
For humans to use innate spiritual treasures, they must possess the Dao seed or Dao fruit of that treasure.
The Dao seeds or Dao fruits within these innate spiritual treasures are all condensed through the refinement of the supernatural powers of the demon race; the human race simply does not possess such Dao seeds.
Therefore, the only option is to use the power of the Heavenly Court or the Underworld to forcibly activate the innate spiritual treasure.
Demons only begin to condense supernatural powers upon reaching the Saint Realm. Therefore, to forge supernatural talismans from the flesh and blood of demons, one must kill demons at the Saint Realm or above.
That's why Zhao Xuancheng charged so enthusiastically; he had his own reasons.
Zhao Xuan didn't feel uncomfortable after learning about it. After all, if Zhao Xuancheng were truly so selfless, doing everything for the Great Zhao Dynasty, Zhao Xuan wouldn't have been willing to befriend him.
This kind of person is a saint; they're not suitable to be friends with at all.
After hearing this, Zhao Xuan handed a wisp of Yuan Qi to Zhao Xuancheng, leaving Zhao Xuancheng looking completely bewildered.
Zhao Xuan told Zhao Xuancheng to see for himself, not wanting to dampen Zhao Xuancheng's enthusiasm.
After receiving the vital energy, Zhao Xuan was completely dumbfounded, feeling as if he had eaten shit.
