My Bottle Cosmos-Chapter 716 - 661 The Beginning of the Great Catastrophe

On the other side.

Sylvie and Sylph had just returned, complaining about how they were being increasingly monitored. Even when they casually tried to send messages through the glass, there was someone to catch them.

Moreover, the two began discussing cultivation techniques.

In the end, they decided to cultivate the existing Dharma Method.

Because the practicality of that Cultivation Technique was quite universal; it was the Five Elements Techniques, originally the basic commonly used method promoted by Celestial Emperor Xuli.

The powers they cultivated, earth and water, were among them, and transitioning would be rather swift.

Continuing to explore on their own, pioneering their own rough Cultivation Technique, who knew when it would be refined, and there was the risk of taking a wrong path, getting stuck at the Sixth or Seventh Layer, and turning it into an Incomplete Technique.

"It's better to cultivate the existing one," Sylvie thought earnestly, "Creating a Cultivation Technique oneself and cultivating an existing one, the cultivation speed is more than a hundred times faster!"

"Yes, we are in the late period of the First-Layer Gods, and the era of Second-Layer Gods is upon us. Cultivating this, we only strive to contend in the present age," Sylph swayed her tail in the ocean, silently making up her mind.

They began to re-cultivate the technique.

Believing that in a few hundred years, they could soon ascend to the level of Fifth to Sixth-layer Ancient Gods.

After all, the Supreme Realm in heaven, covered by the High-tier Dao, is the authority hub governing the entire vast universe and Myriad Heavens. These few hundred years of cultivation are not short, while billions of years have passed in the Lower Realm.

...

At this moment.

In the cave dwelling.

Nokron opened his eyes, exhaling a turbid breath, "Sure enough, nine is the limit; the human soul cannot bear anything higher."

As a Life Ancient God, mastering the creation of souls and bodies, he was among the strongest in souls.

Even after years of entering Ancient Dragons, Ancient Trees, and enduring the wash of massive amounts of information, a process of repeated baptism had made him more resilient.

But even so, the strength of the soul could not break through to the tenth power.

This seemed to be a godly forbidden zone; once broken through, one would no longer be human...the soul would expand infinitely and collapse infinitely, turning into a monster.

"Can humans truly never possess combat power comparable to Celestial Phenomena and nature?" He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing reluctance.

Humans have their limits.

Unless one ceases to be human.

According to such settings, he seemed to dominate the entire cosmos yet would inevitably be undone by the cosmos itself.

This wasn't something he could covet.

Would rebuilding the entire cosmos truly be making wedding clothes, becoming the Pangu who opened the sky and earth, only to perish along with its creation?

He had always kept a clear mind amidst comfort.

His thoughts also focused on eternity.

Though throughout cosmic history, no one had been able to achieve this, and even the ruling organizations of the previous two cosmos had perished, yet one must dare to dream.

"It seems raising the combat power of powers still relies on external things?" Li Qing glanced at Atabia and the others.

What they could think of, Li Qing, of course, could as well.

As the mastermind, the operator of the entire cosmic era, Li Qing naturally had to think further ahead!

But this method of enhancement using Dharma Artifacts seemed incredibly strong yet still wasn't the fundamental method for Li Qing.

For mortals, it sufficed for the era of hegemony, but not for him.

Li Qing knew better than anyone else how strong Celestial Phenomena were.

The Ninth Layer was the limit of the Realm.

Others could continue cultivating to break through to the Tenth-layer powers, Eleventh-layer powers.

Now, these two were even stronger than back then.

The current Ancient Tree had progressed to the level of the 187-layer Ancient God.

The current Ancient Dragon had progressed to the level of the 175-layer Ancient God.

They each controlled 1500 Innate Divine Artifacts, meaning their current limit was 1500.

As for during cultivation, pioneering a Cultivation Technique, there was a risk of getting possessed? Dying from fusion mistakes? But they were essentially dying once every few seconds, so this tolerance level wasn't daunting?

And is this terrifying limit still human?

Of course not, because their powers were too numerous, and they were overwhelmed by cosmic information within a few seconds.

The cost was corresponding.

And this was why Li Qing allowed these two "libraries" to roam free, allowing the books within them to continually organize themselves.

Let them continuously fuse various high-tier Dao.

Xu Li was researching the perfect fusion of a Ninth-layer Cultivation Technique.

Li Qing was researching the perfect fusion of a 3000-layer Cultivation Technique.

Yet, although the number of layers seemed high, the combat power didn't increase geometrically but grew more like the arithmetic +1, not multiplication, the further it progressed.

Previously, Li Qing's intention was just to rid of them after they completed their task.

But now the other party was growing rapidly, posing a potential threat to him.

"It's truly a headache," Li Qing stood up, "Oh well, many things are paradoxes rooted in the cosmos, not something that can be solved overnight."

He mused, feeling he had gone mad over the years.

He had schemed against many people, swindled too many, and had always been smooth sailing. Now facing a little problem felt uncomfortable, and his mindset should be more balanced.

"Better start with Dharma Artifacts, the enhancement from external forces is better than none."

If the fully armed overlays in large numbers, tens of thousands of Supreme Emperors besieging the Ancient Dragon, Ancient Tree, would still lead to death.

....

In the year 2000.

The cosmos officially entered a new millennial chapter.

For the Lower Realm's Ten Thousand Realms, thirty-six billion years have passed since the cosmos opened and the world was created.

Celestial Emperor Xuli, who has been in power for as long as sixteen billion years.

And this Celestial Emperor gradually showed signs of old age, with rampant Dao injuries in her body pushing her fully into her twilight years.

Meanwhile, in the Abyss, various strong individuals continued to emerge.

After Minis came to power, he governed with diligence, assuming the posture of an Abyssal Chancellor, and began planning new realms, integrating the order of the Abyss Realm.

Nine-layer Ancient Gods.

They are, 1 Earth Demon, 2 Celestial Demon, 3 True Demon, 4 Profound Demon, 5 Holy Demon, 6 Demon King, 7 Demon Emperor, 8 Demon Venerable, 9 Demon Emperor.

And categorized the Cultivation Techniques of the Heaven and Earth Dao into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

They even permitted the exchange of cultivation techniques through contributions, with some Yellow-level Ninefold Great Dao Techniques being spread among the upper echelons.

Because Xu Li was well aware, the combat power gap between these Low-level techniques and Advanced techniques was too enormous.

As long as she controlled the core research techniques, others were absolutely not opponents.

And researching a Tao Scripture leading to the Immortal Emperor Realm, if not for her having this capability, it would have required countless deaths and a sea of blood from the prodigies, spending eons to develop a weak Ninefold Great Dao Scripture.

Therefore, as long as she controlled the source of the techniques, it almost meant controlling the monopoly of combat power.

Simultaneously, in these years, Celestial Emperor Xuli also received feedback from Atabia, secretly escorting a group of Low Level Mortal Spirits from Origin Mainland to the Lower Realm.

Don't be deceived by their low realms; they were books created by Atabia, various Dharma Artifacts, embryos of Postnatal Divine Artifacts.

They were strictly protected all the way, crossing Myriad Heavens to the lowest Abyss World, cultivated into various Dharma Artifacts, becoming aids for cultivation.

The Abyss World thus made significant advancements!

At this time, Celestial Emperor Xuli has less than two hundred years of life. Upon reaching her twilight years, she was about to open the pathway to the Origin Mainland, initiating a real-world war between two realms.
