Chapter 325

Emperor Qin Zheng No. 2: "This makes sense. Starting tomorrow, I too shall personally cultivate spirit herbs."

Emperor Qin Zheng: "I advise you to abandon those dangerous ideas! If you kill the spirit herbs, won't that be an even greater loss?"

Emperor Qin Zheng No. 2: "Underestimating me? I'm no pushover. Let's compete—see who grows more spirit herbs!"

Emperor Qin Zheng: "No competition. I am emperor of a nation—why would I compete with you in farming? 【Disgusted】"

【Ding, Xiao Bai has reached peak Qi Refining in the Profound Heaven Immortal Martial Dao, favored by Heaven and Earth, boosted in destiny, and become a Destiny Child.】

【Ding, the Profound Heaven Immortal Martial Dao is favored by Heaven and Earth; Ancestor Zhang Taixuan receives a fragment of the world's primordial source, the Yin True Art, and the right to establish a sect lineage.】

Su Xiao: "Yin True Art? They reward this kind of technique? Heaven and Earth are so stingy."

Ye Hei: "Will I turn into a monster after practicing it?"

Lin Fengjiao: "Judging by the name, it's clearly a orthodox Daoist technique. But—the original Grand Preceptor's appearance is truly unappealing."

Bai Suzhen: "Perhaps the issue isn't the technique itself, but the cultivator."

Xiao Mai: "@Zhang Taixuan, Brother Taixuan, how is this technique?"

Zhang Taixuan: "This technique is excellent. But like most Yin techniques, it's extremely difficult to practice. You shouldn't have forgotten—in my world, the Yin True Scripture cultivates supreme yin energy with boundless lethal intent; many who obtain the scripture cannot even master it!"

Su Xiao: "Is this scripture similar?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Exactly. Supreme yin energy is not easily condensed—it requires a special physique. Otherwise, you'll end up looking like the Grand Preceptor's ghastly form."

Su Xiao: "Still need a special physique? Did the Yin Emperor have a special physique?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Probably. There are two other methods: one is to first cultivate the Primordial Spirit, then use its formidable power to condense the yin energy. The other is to first practice a supreme yang technique, then the Yin True Art—balancing yin and yang, and then there's no problem."

Lin Fengjiao: "This is too hard! Current Daoist sects follow the path of refining essence into qi, then qi into spirit—precisely because the Primordial Spirit is hard to cultivate, they can only slowly nourish it with magic power. As for supreme yang techniques, they're just as unimaginably difficult as Yin techniques."

Han Paopao: "My Jin Dan and Nascent Soul path is the same—earlier realms are mostly preparation for the later Soul Transformation."

Zhang Sanfeng: "Most of our worlds are like this. To specialize solely in spirit refinement? The difficulty spikes instantly."

Chihonda Airu: "Brother Taixuan, what realm can this technique reach?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Equivalent to the Five Elements realm. It seems that although Xiao Bai's world has many mythic figures, its power ceiling is quite low."

Su Xiao: "That doesn't make sense—I remember Xiao Bai turned into a serpent and destroyed a whole city."

Hu Yifei: "Destroying a city isn't hard at all! 【Eager】"

Xiong Ba: "True. We can easily destroy a city at Qi Refining. At Five Elements realm, that Grand Preceptor could even flip it with a palm using his array."

Bai Suzhen: "The Grand Preceptor's array only sealed a small area—his power clearly isn't strong."

Zhang Taixuan: "I calculated—Xiao Bai's world is a standard small celestial world."

Xiao Bai: "Even a standard small celestial world has demons and monsters??!!"

Ye Hei: "This is unscientific. I recall Junbao's world is also a small celestial world, but its energy level is far lower—by several orders of magnitude compared to Xiao Bai's."

Zhang Junbao: "Indeed. Compared to Xiao Bai Miss's world, my world's martial power is utterly insignificant."

Zhang Taixuan: "World classifications may differ from what you imagine! Small, medium, and great celestial worlds evolve differently—their manifestations naturally vary."

Zhang Taixuan: "For example, a grotto-heaven can be infinitely large—but if it lacks the River of Time and Space, its cosmic rank is still lower than a teacup-sized universe!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Another example: Xiao Wu's world is just short of becoming a small celestial world, yet it has evolved a divine system where gods achieve immortality. Meanwhile, many great celestial worlds struggle to attain immortality—would you say the great celestial worlds are weaker than Xiao Wu's?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Energy levels are the same. Junbao's world evolved like a modern cosmology—with countless galaxies. Xiao Bai's world evolved as a mythic xianxia setting: heaven round, earth square, only the size of the Milky Way—but its energy level is several orders of magnitude higher, so its manifestation is naturally extraordinary."

Zhang Taixuan: "World rank isn't necessarily proportional to individual power levels. After all, power level reflects individuals, but worlds dwarf individuals in scale by an unimaginable margin."

Ye Hei: "It's like an exam: someone scores full marks in one subject but fails others; someone else scores average in all, yet has a high total. If you only compare one subject, you think the perfect scorer is absurdly strong. But reality? You compare the total! World evaluation is the same—it doesn't judge one metric, but the sum of many factors, right, Dao Jun?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Pretty much!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "I see. My world is at the small celestial level, probably because the universe is vast! Otherwise, by energy standards, it still falls far behind Xiao Bai Miss's world."

Xiao Wu: "Hasn't my world advanced to small celestial yet?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Almost. Haven't you appointed gods and spread the Immortal Martial Dao? Civilization is rising—your world is nearly ready to ascend. For the next few days, don't come over to play; when the world ascends, your gains will be greatest—don't miss it. 【Red Envelope】 I'll give you the complete technique—when Heaven and Earth ascend, break through."

Su Xiao: "How envious! Won't Xiao Wu soon reach spiritual perfection, maybe even enter the Yin-Yang realm?"

Xiao Mai: "Another saint-level being! Terrifying—I never expected Xiao Wu to have grown this far."

Xiao Wu: "【Hehe】 All thanks to my husband!"

Bai Suzhen: "This is all fate. Xiao Wu Miss governs the Divine Realm and drives world progress—of course she gains more. @Xiao Bai, you can too. Once you cultivate successfully and elevate your world, your future won't be lacking."

Ling Zun: "Can I do it too? @Bai Suzhen @Zhang Taixuan"

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course. Those of you in small celestial worlds must not underestimate yourselves—you're standing at the forefront right now. As long as you push your world to ascend, your future will be lords of the multiverse."

Xiong Ba: "Now that Dao Jun says that, I suddenly feel motivated."

Emperor Qin Zheng: "I feel the same. I used to lament my fate, but now I see—even in a small celestial world, there are advantages!"

Lin Fengjiao: "World ascension is indeed a great opportunity, but alas, this path is not mine."

Bai Suzhen: "The Immortal Martial Dao has already been recognized by my world's Heaven and Earth—the opportunity is in my hands; I won't let it slip away. Everyone, I'm logging off now—I'll cultivate for a while, then prepare to establish a sect."
