Chapter 328

And one of the most direct and reassuring benefits brought by the Nascent Soul stage is that his lifespan has theoretically reached infinity!

For any practitioner, this is a milestone that is enough to be ecstatic and shake the Dao heart.

But in Jie Ming's heart, this joy was quickly replaced by a more urgent goal—advancing to a Tier 3 Wizard!

The breakthrough of the Nascent Soul stage is not only a leap on the path of cultivation but also completes the last and most critical piece of the puzzle for him.

With a knowing smile on his lips, he left the secret room where the spiritual energy had not yet completely dissipated and returned to his core laboratory filled with rune light and precision instruments.

It's time to organize the status quo and plan the road ahead.

The promotion to a Tier 3 Wizard has two core requirements: first, the spiritual power intensity reaches the standard; second, the mastery of a certain "law" reaches 0.1%.

In terms of spiritual power, Jie Ming has long been polished to be round and solid, far surpassing his peers, which is not a problem.

The real key lies in the choice and mastery of "laws."

Choosing which law to use as the cornerstone of one's own truth ring is a choice that almost every wizard who aspires to a high level must be extremely cautious about.

This determines the width and potential of the future path.

As early as the wizard apprentice stage, Jie Ming had thought about this question countless times, but due to the limitations of knowledge reserve and vision at that time, it had never been clear.

As he came into contact with higher-level information, especially learning that the promotion from Tier 6 to Tier 7 requires "deepening" or "expanding" the laws, and the promotion from Tier 7 to Tier 8 requires "fixing" one's own laws and distorting the similar laws of the plane where one is located, he understood the importance of the initial choice even more.

The "fixing" of Tier 8 is completely different from the "law solidification" of Tier 6.

Tier 6 is to ensure that the laws mastered by oneself remain stable in different planes and are not affected by local subtle differences.

Tier 8 is to forcibly distort the relevant laws of the plane where one is located, so that the laws of the entire plane are presented according to the "appearance" of one's own laws!

This is a great power that is almost tampering with the underlying rules.

It is precisely because of this that the promotion from Tier 7 to Tier 8 is so difficult.

Because the "deepening" and "expansion" of laws at Tier 6 will make the laws themselves more complex and more personal, and when you want to "fix" them at Tier 8, the difficulty will naturally increase geometrically.

Theoretically, the most ideal law should have both "uniqueness" and "expandability."

It sounds contradictory, but Jie Ming happened to find the perfect answer.

The law he is preparing to study and rely on for promotion is—Spiritual Energy!

Spiritual energy is the underlying rule of the cultivation civilization system and one of the sources that build the foundation of all laws. The changes and derivative possibilities it contains are almost infinite, and its expandability is beyond doubt.

At the same time, in the Wizarding World, spiritual energy is not a constant that exists naturally, which makes the "Spiritual Energy Law" possess absolute uniqueness in this world!

As for the problem that the Wizarding World itself does not have the law of spiritual energy...

The so-called "law" of wizards is not a specific energy, but a highly summarized and knowledgeable application of the internal laws of certain things or phenomena in the universe.

As long as he can understand and master its laws, no matter where the law comes from, it can be used for his own purposes.

Once the goal is set, the method becomes the key.

Studying a law that "does not exist" locally naturally cannot be like studying fire elements or gravity, collecting data directly through the natural environment, or accelerating through the plane origin.

He can only rely on the most primitive way—building a research environment by himself, collecting data, and summarizing the laws.

Therefore, a good research equipment or environment is crucial.

Initially, Jie Ming only planned to build a private laboratory to complete the conversion from elements to spiritual energy internally to conduct small-scale research.

But when he passed the elite trial and took the entire "Purgatory Sulfur plane" into his pocket, a more grand blueprint unfolded in his heart.

He wants to use this entire plane as the foundation for his Dao!

After continuous rectification, a crazy and bold plan gradually became clear and perfect in his mind.

What is the significance of a small laboratory?

He wants to treat the entire plane as his laboratory!

The core of the entire plan can be summarized as: building "Incense Divine Dao" in the Purgatory Sulfur plane!

Using the Purgatory Sulfur plane as the material foundation, using the Incense Divine Dao technology from the "Great Dao Book Pavilion" as the core framework, supplemented by the "Elemental-Spiritual Power Conversion Technology" he had already mastered and continuously optimized.

Now, various fragments have been collected.

Purgatory Sulfur plane, divine power belief network and Incense Divine Dao technology, elemental spiritual power conversion technology obtained through refining the Xuan Gang Red Dust Barrier and transforming the body-refining method, as well as Nascent Soul cultivation and massive military achievements as resources.

Jie Ming confirmed that he had the full ability to gradually and thoroughly transform the violent fire elements of this plane into pure spiritual energy!

At that time, he will have a world-scale law laboratory!

He can observe the generation, circulation, and interaction of spiritual energy with the plane itself on a macroscopic scale to collect massive data, thereby rapidly advancing his mastery of the "Spiritual Energy Law."

The Purgatory Sulfur plane belongs to the Nuolun Plane No. 147 community, and within this community, there is a naturally formed "divine power belief network."

Jie Ming has devoted himself to studying the divine power belief network for these years, and his fundamental purpose is to analyze its operating mechanism and transform it into an "Incense Divine Dao" system that conforms to the norms of cultivation civilization!

Now, his Nascent Soul stage is complete, and he has the power to initially build and guide the Incense Divine Dao.

Coupled with the detailed technical knowledge support in the "Great Dao Book Pavilion," he already has the ability to establish an initial Incense Divine Dao in the Purgatory Sulfur plane.

Of course, completing the transformation project of the entire plane independently is almost a fantasy.

But Jie Ming never intended to fight alone.

Just like the three-phase plane infrastructure construction project completed before, he can completely outsource non-core standardized construction tasks to professional plane construction teams under the Nuolun Workshop.

He himself focuses on the construction and debugging of the most core and critical parts.

He called up his military achievement account to check the balance.

Although over the years, in order to expand the internal space, purchase plane origin, and maintain various money-burning research, the expenses have been huge.

But thanks to the continuous patent revenue brought by the 【Self-Stabilizing Field Adjustment Protocol】, he has quietly accumulated more than 10 billion military achievements!

This huge sum is enough to hire a top construction team to carry out the fourth phase of the transformation project for the Purgatory Sulfur plane.

What he needs to do now is to accurately plan the areas, nodes, and energy channels that need to be transformed based on his deep understanding of the divine power belief network and Incense Divine Dao, and draw a detailed engineering blueprint.

At the technical level, he has studied for hundreds of years and has a bottom line in his heart.

The real difficulty lies in other aspects.

Jie Ming's gaze fell on the "Tier 7 Large Elemental Pool Instruction Manual" next to him, which was as thick as a city wall brick, and he sighed helplessly.

Building Incense Divine Dao, in addition to requiring a fully controlled plane and profound technology, the biggest challenge lies in the initial stage of activation.

Before the divine Dao system is successfully established and the internal energy initial cycle is completed, massive external energy is required for driving, just like lighting a furnace fire requires initial fire seeds and continuous firewood addition.

According to the records in the "Great Dao Book Pavilion," in the cultivation world, if you want to establish Incense Divine Dao on a planet, you will usually choose a star system with binary stars.

One star maintains the basic ecology of the planet, and the other is specifically for the divine Dao system to supply energy.

If there is no such condition, you can also hire or cooperate with the legendary divine beast "Three-legged Golden Crow," asking it to stay in the world for tens of thousands of years to provide initial power with its own divine energy.

In the Wizarding World, naturally there is no binary star system or Three-legged Golden Crow, but Jie Ming has long been prepared.

The 【Tier 7 Large Elemental Pool】 he purchased at a huge cost is exactly to solve this energy problem!

Therefore, the most urgent task at the moment is no longer theoretical research, but practical operation.

He must thoroughly understand the extremely complex instruction manual of the Tier 7 large elemental pool as soon as possible and install and integrate this strategic man-made energy source into the core of the Purgatory Sulfur plane.

The foundation of Dao begins with the feet.

And what is blocking him now is to chew down this hardest "technology" as soon as possible.

Time flies, and another ten years passed in a snap.

Jie Ming stood in front of the central holographic projection in the laboratory, staring at the three-dimensional structure diagram in front of him that was dizzying.

This blueprint took a lot of his hard work, integrating the essence of Incense Divine Dao in the "Great Dao Book Pavilion," the analysis of the natural divine power belief network of the Nuolun Plane No. 147 community, and his own unique understanding of "Elemental-Spiritual Power" conversion.

On the blueprint, the landscape of the entire Purgatory Sulfur plane was accurately modeled, and countless dense energy lines, like the veins of life, outlined a grand network covering the whole world.

Nodes, hubs, conversion pools, belief anchors... all are available, forming the skeleton of the future Incense Divine Dao.

"Finally... completed the preliminary design." Jie Ming rubbed his temples, which were a bit swollen, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Dividing the transformation area and setting energy channels were far more cumbersome than expected.

Incense Divine Dao has many functions. It must consider the collection, purification, and storage of belief power, take into account the conversion and transmission of spiritual energy, and reserve interfaces for the divine Dao talisman system and possible future expansion. The energy circulation and rule interference involved are extremely complex.

He had to review the core technical points of Incense Divine Dao several times, repeatedly deliberating, before finally finalizing the specific transformation plan for the existing divine power belief network of the Purgatory Sulfur plane.

Fortunately, the most time-consuming theoretical design and planning have come to an end.

He reserved standardized transformation interfaces and array bases at all key and non-key nodes of the blueprint.

Most of the subsequent basic construction work can be outsourced, and he only needs to take action personally to complete the construction and activation of the most core arrays involving the essential rules of Incense Divine Dao.

Without too much hesitation, Jie Ming connected to the logistics service system of the Nuolun Workshop through the magic network terminal.

Paid huge military achievements and hired a plane construction team known for efficiency and reliability.

Sent the blueprint data of some non-core parts, and conducted detailed remote handover with the other party's engineering supervisor, clarifying construction requirements, material standards, and progress arrangements.

Seeing the virtual icon of the construction team light up on the task list, marking the official start of the transformation project, Jie Ming felt a little settled.

He connected a part of his mind to the monitoring array spread all over the plane to ensure that he could know the progress of the project at any time, and then withdrew his attention again.

Next is another harder nut to crack—thoroughly mastering the installation and integration technology of the "Tier 7 Large Elemental Pool."

He sat back in front of the experimental bench, and the instruction manual, which was as thick as a mountain, floated in front of him again. The pages turned without wind, flashing with dizzying data streams and structure diagrams.

Understanding, memorizing, deducing, simulating... this process is boring and arduous, and it is a great test for spiritual power and computing power.

But Jie Ming's eyes were full of excitement.

He firmly believes that the input at this moment will surely far exceed the imagination in the future.

Once the Incense Divine Dao is built, what it brings to him will not just be an exclusive plane full of spiritual energy.

This plane will become the "foundation of Dao" for both his cultivation and wizard paths, greatly accelerating his advancement pace.

And the Incense Divine Dao itself is a treasure house with infinite potential.

Its most direct product is a unique conceptual material—the power of incense.

This power produced by the combination of pure belief and the spiritual opportunity of living beings can not only be converted into pure spiritual energy for his absorption with almost no loss, but more importantly, it is almost a "universal catalyst" and "high-level building material."

Whether it is refining tools, refining medicine, drawing talismans, arranging arrays, or even assisting in the cultivation of certain special supernatural powers, the power of incense can play a miraculous effect.

In terms of the breadth of application, it is even better than the Qi of the Red Dust he painstakingly collected.

In addition, Incense Divine Dao itself can fundamentally solve the problem of the production of the Qi of the Red Dust.

According to the data in the "Great Dao Book Pavilion," the initial birth of Incense Divine Dao originated from the dilemma of the shrinking production of the Qi of the Red Dust by the great powers in the ancient cultivation world.

Practitioners and mortals coexist for a long time. Even if practitioners try their best to avoid interference, over time, the relationship between the two sides easily alienates from the equal "society" components to the unequal "feeding" and "being fed."

This change in relationship will lead to the deterioration of the Qi of the Red Dust, and even eventually decrease.

High-level practitioners understood this point and cleverly used the religious tendencies naturally produced by intelligent beings in the evolution of civilization to create Incense Divine Dao.

By integrating into the "god" role of secular society, they reconstructed the connection with mortals, making themselves a part of the social structure, rather than feeders who are aloof.

This not only stabilized the output of the Qi of the Red Dust but also improved its quality.

For Jie Ming, this undoubtedly solved his worries and allowed him to continuously obtain these two crucial special resources.

And a complete Incense Divine Dao also possesses a capability that Jie Ming considers strategic—orthodox talisman and god-inviting techniques.

This is completely different from the "rune wizard tools" he studied that rely on mobilizing environmental elements.

An orthodox talisman is essentially an "application form" that has been encrypted and rule-certified, which can directly apply to the Incense Divine Dao system to invoke the internal stored divine power to descend, assisting in combat or completing specific tasks.

And certain specific rituals can even perform "god descent" or "god hitting," allowing the divine power in the divine Dao to temporarily possess the body, greatly improving combat power.

In Jie Ming's eyes, these two capabilities with different forms of expression have a common underlying logic—a technology for ultra-long-distance cross-space precision energy transmission!

Jie Ming still remembers the embarrassment of facing energy depletion on the Giant Spirit Realm battlefield back then.

If he had a complete Incense Divine Dao at that time, he could have completely transmitted the vast energy generated by the Tier 7 large elemental pool or even the divine Dao's own internal cycle in the Purgatory Sulfur plane to the battlefield in real-time across space!

He could even directly mobilize strategic strikes from the energy already stored within the plane through his own authority!

What does this mean?

This means that from now on, no matter where he, Jie Ming, is, he can almost call upon the energy reserve of a plane to fight at any time!

This is equivalent to carrying a "mobile wizard tower" with complete functions and infinite energy by his side at all times!

Thinking of that scene, even with Jie Ming's current state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a little surging.

Of course, all these fantasies are based on the perfect construction of Incense Divine Dao.

At the current stage, he still needs to work hard to overcome various difficulties.

He collected his mind, focused his gaze on the thick instruction manual again, and sank his consciousness into the vast technical data like the sea.

(There are too many things at the end of the month, and I haven't finished them yet. Today is still one chapter...)
