Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 235 - 225 The Truth

"Golden Core Ninth Layers."

Alkaid assimilated these materials.

Unless anything unexpected happened, his "Qi Path" cultivation would follow this road henceforth.

This path was far more complete compared to the existing nine layers of Qi Refinement and the five major stages of Foundation Establishment.

Perhaps there was no increase in the upper limit of combat power, but in terms of application, it could leave the original realm far behind.

In other words, as long as he could successfully establish his foundation, he would at least have the combat power of a Fifth Rank.

The remaining stages, such as convergence and Core Formation, could make him even stronger.

"And moreover..."

Alkaid weighed slightly, "If all goes as expected, reaching the Fission level would allow me to kill a cultivator with a Crimson Red Golden Core from Cangwu Great World."

Yes, kill.

There was no such thing as entanglement, confrontation, or defeat.

There was only killing and not being able to kill.

Because...

Before reaching the Fission Realm, he might not withstand a single strike from his opponent.

After the Fission Realm...

As long as he could survive one strike, he would have plenty of ways to completely dismantle the opponent’s Golden Core stability, causing it to collapse and resulting in death.

The only problem giving him a headache now was...

"If I take an unconventional path, many of the elixirs available on the market will no longer be able to assist in cultivation."

Alkaid thought to himself.

However, this also gave him an idea.

He thought of the Immortal Alliance’s strong monopoly on elixirs, and how in the future, the Nine Cauldrons Sect might overtake others on the elixir market by focusing on new cultivation systems and new elixir systems.

"It’s a pity... the new ’Qi Path’ system also doesn’t involve elixirs..."

In the end, Alkaid could only suggest his needs to Wu Qingying.

He could only hope that Wu Qingying would be able to research elixirs that would assist his cultivation.

Otherwise, the cultivation during the Qi Refining Stage might drag him down even more than during the Star God Stage.

Contemplating, he digested the information about the Golden Core Ninth Layers again, paying particular attention to a secret technique.

Then, he shifted his focus to the heavily sealed Crimson Red Golden Core.

"External Elixir!"

He exclaimed.

This secret technique was called the External Alchemy Technique.

True to its name, it allowed one to refine a Golden Core that wasn’t their own into something they could use, just like a personal magical treasure, utilizing its power and strength.

"Creating an External Elixir is not an easy task, especially since this Crimson Red Golden Core has very poor stability, but... my advanced realm in divine cultivation provides me an edge... With this advantage, it might be possible to refine this Crimson Red Golden Core into an External Elixir."

A flash of determination sparkled in Alkaid’s eyes.

A decision had been made.

However, before officially cultivating the External Elixir, he needed to discuss something with Li Hanqiu.

With a thought, his consciousness projected into a space within the "Divine Nation" of the Void Divine Realm.

After he manifested his form there, the figures of Li Hanqiu and Li Qingshan soon appeared.

Surprise registered in both their brows.

"Alkaid? Have you called us here for some matter? Don’t be shy; speak freely."

Li Hanqiu said generously.

Li Qingshan nodded in agreement.

Having heard Li Hanqiu’s statement, he didn’t feel the need to say more.

"First, I must thank you for permitting some of my unreasonable actions even though you knew I had many secrets."

Alkaid bowed in thanks.

Li Hanqiu and Li Qingshan exchanged a glance, vaguely sensing something and feeling somewhat excited.

"We should be thanking you. Without you, the Nine Cauldrons Sect wouldn’t have its current glory," Li Qingshan quickly said. "As for secrets... everyone has them. Whether you reveal them or not, we respect your decision."

Alkaid nodded.

He pondered briefly and said, "My secret... you can understand that I received a legacy."

Li Hanqiu nodded, "We thought so, and moreover, this legacy isn’t from the Cangwu Great World, is it?"

"Hmm?"

Alkaid looked at him.

"Your improvements to Formation techniques and some Artifact Refining concepts, and even the design of the Purple Cloud 16-type Flying Sword, are so unconventional they don’t seem like they’ve originated within the Cangwu Great World. Also, considering the encounter with a squad from the Moon Demon Empire... I suspect that your inheritance came from a member of that Moon Demon Empire squad," Li Hanqiu explained with a smile. "Of course, there could be other reasons. After the Moon Demon Empire was defeated, most fled back to their world, but many who didn’t escape in time hid in the surrounding Subordinate Worlds. Depending on their status, they more or less left some things behind."

Alkaid listened but offered no rebuttal.

Since Li Hanqiu was understanding, he didn’t need to explain in detail.

And to some extent, what Li Hanqiu said wasn’t wrong.

He had indeed received many inheritances, it was just that the way he acquired these inheritances wasn’t quite what he had imagined.

"True Person Li previously mentioned something called the ’Northern Sea battlefield’, and the divisions of the Qi Refining Stage into nine layers and the Golden Core into nine layers. Do you know the details?"

Alkaid asked.

"I do have some knowledge."

Li Hanqiu said this and pondered for a moment, and it was quite a while before he continued, "Well, since we have some free time today, I might as well explain in detail to you and Qingshan about the battle against the Moon Demon Empire that decided the victor tens of years ago."

Upon hearing this, Alkaid and Li Qingshan both perked up their spirits at the same time.

What exactly was the result of that battle against the Moon Demon Empire? Whenever it came up, all Golden Cores were evasive and vague in their answers.

It was not hard to see that this victory...

Wasn’t as simple as they had imagined.

"I wasn’t actually with those top powerhouses who turned Golden Cores into black holes and counterattacked the homeland of the Moon Demon Empire. However, through the intelligence transmitted from the front, I learned the specifics of the battle, and the most critical among them is the Northern Sea Star battlefield."

Li Hanqiu said with some emotion, "This vast starry sky of ours has always talked about the three thousand great worlds, but the so-called ’three thousand’ is not a literal number, it’s a symbolic expression. The actual number of great worlds is far beyond this count, and Northern Sea Star... is one such world akin to our Cangwu Great World, one of the ’three thousand worlds’!"

"Another civilization?"

Neither Alkaid nor Li Qingshan found this surprising.

How many planets are there in a galaxy!?

Hundreds of billions.

How many subordinate worlds are there around the Cangwu Great World?

One hundred and eighty thousand.

Therefore, the presence of worlds outside of the Cangwu Great World was not at all unusual.

Wasn’t the world where the Moon Demon Empire resided also different from the Cangwu Realm?

Moreover, some of the methods Alkaid had obtained earlier, such as the Formless Dao and the Self-Centric Dao, were clearly not in the style of the Cangwu Great World.

"During the battle with the Moon Demon Empire, their world was at war with the Northern Sea Star. The reason we were able to quickly iterate through cultivation techniques and progress from Golden Core and Nascent Soul to the paths of Fission, Fusion, Crimson Red Golden Core, and Sunburst Golden Core was not solely due to the impact of the Moon Demon Empire’s civilization. It was the inspiration from the cultivation system of the Northern Sea Star, which bears a higher degree of similarity to ours, allowing us to transition in just a few hundred years, empowering Golden Cores with strength comparable to the fierce sun in the sky."

Li Hanqiu said.

"So, the original cultivation system of the Cangwu Great World was Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, and Nascent Soul? And that Northern Sea Star follows a system of nine layers of Qi Refinement and nine layers of Golden Core?"

"Correct."

Li Hanqiu nodded, "Above the nine layers is the Hollow Void stage."

Speaking of this, he sighed, "In fact, the cultivation system of our world is not bad either. Otherwise, so many people in our world wouldn’t have been able to forcefully collapse into the Chaos Void after just a few hundred years of contact with the Northern Sea Star. It’s just certain limitations in thinking, or to put it another way, some deficiencies in utilizing certain fundamental forces, which is why the destructive power of these cultivation systems always fall short, making it difficult even for a Nascent Soul to destroy one subordinate world without exerting a great deal of effort."

Alkaid showed understanding with this point.

It’s like modern people versus ancient people.

the things they come into contact with are different, and so are the ways they deal with things.

In ancient times, the most brilliant people, if placed in modern society and allowed to familiarize themselves with it, they would still be able to stand at the top. Read exclusive chapters at novelbuddy

"To some extent, we were able to finally defeat the Moon Demon Empire because we made contact with the Northern Sea side and received their aid. Hence, this matter wasn’t widely publicized... Those at the peak felt that it wasn’t a glorious victory. After defeating the Moon Demon Empire, that group of Golden Cores, along with the leading Hollow Void cultivators, did not choose to return but proceeded to the Northern Sea Star. On one hand, they sought to understand the more complete cultivation methods of the Northern Sea Star to address their own problems, and on the other hand..."

Li Hanqiu paused, "The Moon Demon Empire was only defeated, not extinguished. They had to ensure that when the Moon Demon Empire returned, they would have enough strength to resist, unlike the last time when they had relied on external help."

"Did everyone make this choice?"

Alkaid was somewhat surprised.

"That’s the choice several Hollow Voids made, after all, distorting space to return would further destabilize them... As for the Golden Cores... without the Hollow Voids to distort space, they lacked the power to return."

As Li Hanqiu spoke, he added with emphasis, "The so-called ’Hundred Year Agreement’ was actually the parting words of those Hollow Voids and Golden Cores before they left. Otherwise, how could all those at the pinnacle of the world silently comply?"

Upon hearing this, Alkaid involuntarily glanced at Li Hanqiu.

You seem to be the type who doesn’t exactly abide by the rules.

"Ahem... Alright, I have said what needed to be said,"

Li Hanqiu spoke again, returning to the main point, "Since you brought up the nine layers of Qi Refinement and Golden Core, that means you..."

Alkaid nodded, not hiding anything, "I have the related cultivation methods."

"The complete set!?"

Li Hanqiu’s eyes brightened.

"The complete set."

Alkaid spoke, and after a moment of thought, added, "The quality should be quite good."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Li Hanqiu nodded emphatically, "Even though our world’s cultivation system also has its merits, in today’s world, one must possess sufficient martial force to preserve the transmission of civilization... Qingshan, you should start promoting it vigorously within the sect..."

"True Person Li, hold on,"

Alkaid interrupted, "The promotion of a completely new cultivation method must proceed step by step; otherwise, if everyone switches to the new method, the sect will inevitably be very weak during this period. If someone were to take advantage of this..."

As soon as he said this, Li Hanqiu also calmed down from his excitement.

"I was not thorough in my thinking. You’re right; this matter should indeed be approached gradually and with caution."

Li Hanqiu thought for a moment, "I’ll select a group of loyal and talented people to practice the new cultivation methods. Judging by the smooth transitions many Core Formations made earlier to Golden Core, the compatibility between the two worlds’ cultivation techniques is very high. If the transition is truly successful..."

His eyes were filled with joy, "The comprehensive strength of the Nine Cauldrons Sect will definitely see a tremendous increase!"

"Not only that, with these techniques on hand, we will possess a significant moral advantage. In the future..."

Alkaid smiled, voicing the thought that many in the Nine Cauldrons Sect dared not even contemplate, "With this legacy, it is not a vain hope to contend with the Limitless Star Palace for the position of master of the Cangwu Great World."
