Chapter 327: Chapter 194: The Hacking Gu Zheng

"Because they conflict with each other!"

Xu Jianzhu didn’t keep him in suspense and said directly, "When refining multiple Divine Seeds, you can’t process them all at once. You must do them one by one. The reason is that Divine Seeds are unable to coexist."

"Of course, nothing is absolute."

"If your Spirit is as vast as the starry sky, then you can refine any number of Divine Seeds and have them coexist."

"Alternatively, if you use special Marvels to give yourself a second heart, a third heart, multiple hearts... that would also work."

"But such cases are extremely rare. Throughout all of history, you could count them on one hand."

"..." Gu Zheng was silent for a moment before asking softly, "May I ask, my lord, when refining a Divine Seed, if the accumulated Union power is exceptionally strong, would that be beneficial for the breakthrough? Could it allow for the simultaneous refining of multiple Divine Seeds?"

"It would be faster."

Xu Jianzhu glanced at Gu Zheng. "But it comes back to the same thing: your Spirit must be vast enough to contain multiple Seas of Consciousness."

"A Sea of Consciousness is equivalent to a small world, a world that exists within your body."

"If this small world is only the size of a pond, then you can only refine one Divine Seed."

"Forcibly integrating multiple Divine Seeds will only shatter this small world, and the consequences will be extremely severe!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"I understand." Gu Zheng bowed hastily, his expression solemn.

"As long as you understand."

Xu Jianzhu nodded. "After refining the Divine Seed and opening your Sea of Consciousness, the next step is to create a Domain. This step requires even more insight—you must perceive the rules governing the external world, comprehend them, and then integrate them into your Sea of Consciousness, your own small world, to form your Domain!"

"If you don’t create a Domain, you’ll be a Half-King at best."

"I also heard about what happened at the exit of the Nine Heavens Shadow Realm," Xu Jianzhu said calmly. "Xiao Xing of the Xiao Family will do anything to create his Domain. The Kao Mountain King has already sent people to deal with him."

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, Your Highness!" Gu Zheng bowed in the direction of the Royal Capital.

"I mention Xiao Xing to make you understand the difficulty of creating a Domain," Xu Jianzhu continued. "Because it’s one Divine Seed, one Domain. And Domains, even more so, cannot coexist. The only exception is if they are formed simultaneously within the Sea of Consciousness at the moment of their birth. However, the difficulty of such a feat is unprecedented in history."

"Because multiple small worlds can’t be merged?" Gu Zheng chimed in.

"Exactly!"

Xu Jianzhu replied with a serious tone, "No one’s Spirit is vast enough to contain multiple small worlds. Even using Marvels to possess multiple spirits won’t work, because while it’s easy to keep them separate, merging them is difficult."

Gu Zheng fell silent.

But inwardly, he was thinking.

’Others can’t do it, but it seems I can?’

’The Artifact Embryo of the Human Emperor’s Seal!’

’This unrefined Artifact Embryo... I just tried sensing it, and it’s like a vast "world," a great "universe."’

’I can hear the thoughts of millions of people through it, and the reason is that the Human Emperor’s Seal is all-encompassing, as boundless as the starry sky.’

’With the help of the Human Emperor’s Seal, my Spirit can be magnified infinitely.’

’Otherwise, the moment I heard the thoughts of a million people, my Spirit would have collapsed from the impact of countless voices.’

’Therefore, with the Human Emperor’s Seal, I can absolutely refine multiple Divine Seeds and create multiple Domains at the same time!’

’The remaining problems are that refining multiple Divine Seeds requires a massive amount of Union power... ’

’...and creating multiple Domains requires an even greater comprehension of the external world.’

’For the latter, one Void Divine Stone probably isn’t enough.’

’But as for the former... ’

Gu Zheng focused his mind and opened his panel.

[Gu Zheng]

[Realm: Heroic Body·Divine Seed (Five)]

[Demon Points: 189,238 (Breakthrough requires 250,000)]

[Demon Techniques: Super-speed Self-healing, Spirit Capturing, ..., Fire Manipulation, Steel Claw, Water Manipulation, Earth Manipulation, Spear of the Soul, Underwater Walking, Wind Manipulation, Thunder Manipulation]

[True Skill: (Perfected), ..., (Perfected), ..., (Perfected)]

[Equipment Effect: Bronze Elephant Body (Inactive), Nether Heart Slave Seal, Deceptive Appearance, Lord of Hundred Insects, Eyes of Golden Flame, Fearless Hero, Electric Light Universe]

...

’Two hundred fifty thousand Demon Points?’

’It increased by fifty thousand?’

’That makes sense. Before, I had four Divine Seeds, so the breakthrough required two hundred thousand Demon Points.’

’Now that I have one more Divine Seed, an increase of fifty thousand Demon Points is logical.’

’By clearing the Tier-3 passages in various provinces and slaying Demon Fiends, I’ve earned nearly one hundred and ninety thousand Demon Points in total.’

’The remaining sixty thousand will just take a bit more time.’

...

...

"I’m also aware of your situation."

Xu Jianzhu continued, "With three Divine Seeds, it’s best to refine one every ten years. This way, opening your Sea of Consciousness and creating a Domain will be a bit safer, giving you enough time to gain control. Controlling the Domain is most crucial in the early stages. Once it’s consolidated, the rest is just a matter of following the steps."

"I will take your words to heart. Thank you, my lord!" Gu Zheng bowed respectfully.

Xu Jianzhu raised a hand. "I, too, hope to see a new King’s Body emerge in the Demon Slayer Bureau. If that happens, my voice will carry more weight in the Court, haha."

"I will not disappoint you, my lord!" Gu Zheng’s voice was firm and resolute.

"Just do your best." Xu Jianzhu didn’t think much of it. "The difficulty of refining multiple Divine Seeds has existed since ancient times. This kind of refining is extremely time-consuming. You must be patient."

"I understand!" Gu Zheng said, cupping his fist.

It was clear that Xu Jianzhu had grown to value Gu Zheng’s talent and didn’t want to see him destroy himself by rushing his breakthrough.

Throughout history, there has been no shortage of people who failed to break through to the King’s Body realm and ended up as madmen.

Nor was there a lack of those who died from mishaps during their breakthrough attempts.

Gu Zheng had come so far; for him to die while trying to break through to the King’s Body realm would be a great pity.

These were Xu Jianzhu’s thoughts.
