Chapter 436: Cultivation, the Imperial Supreme World Book

Tao Baibai is now, without a doubt, one of the Reincarnators with the highest "traffic" in the East District Shanty Town.

Title-level Reincarnators form their own system and rarely interact with low-to-mid-tier Reincarnators, and the high-profile ones among the low-to-mid-tier Reincarnators are not particularly well-regarded by the high-tier ones.

Tao Baibai, at this stage, is however very special.

On one hand, low-to-mid-tier Reincarnators still consider him to be in the same class as themselves; after all, Tao Baibai has not yet entered the Title-level and still remains in the low-tier area of the Shanty Town to set up his stall.

On the other hand, no mid-to-high-tier Title-level Reincarnator dares to underestimate this mysterious powerhouse, who is shrouded in layers of riddles.

Tao Baibai's rise was built upon the bones of a slew of renowned Reincarnators; his strength was forged using the Scarlet Drop Cards of a vast number of Reincarnators.

Bai Cangshu arrived at the Shanty Town, and his stall was still surrounded by many people, but those women from other districts and the Black Butler were not there.

Bai Cangshu knew that they were among the biggest clients he could currently encounter, so he first sent a message to the Black Butler, telling him that he had returned to the space and would go to the Training Institute to temper his abilities first, and that he could be ready for a trade at any time.

Subsequently, Bai Cangshu plunged into the Training Institute.

【You have entered the Training Institute. The time flow rate has been adjusted. Starting now, fees will be deducted at a price of 50 Dimension Points per minute.】

【Gravity change: 1.5x (can be actively adjusted up to a maximum of 3x)】

【Oxygen density: 0.75x (can be adjusted in the 0.5-3x range)】

【Extreme environment setting: None (can be selected from environments such as waterfall, lake center, seabed, volcano, etc.)】

"Adjust gravity to 3x, adjust oxygen density to 0.5, activate extreme environment: seabed."

The interior environment of the high-tech Training Institute changed instantly, as if a boundless ocean had submerged Bai Cangshu in a single moment.

The extremely high gravity caused the heavy Bai Cangshu to begin sinking immediately, and the high pressure of the seabed made the already thin oxygen almost disappear.

Bai Cangshu's physical state entered an extreme condition of high pressure and low oxygen in an instant; his heartbeat also began to accelerate, and his blood began to surge like a river.

This was not cultivation, but rather Bai Cangshu's current way of warming up; he was using this method to quickly awaken the "tension" in his body's cells, allowing his entire body to quickly enter a state of readiness.

After all, with his current physical capabilities, relying on "exercise" to make his body consume enough to enter that state was already a huge waste of time.

Ordinary-intensity exercise could not even cause his body to produce much consumption.

After a moment, Bai Cangshu surfaced from the seabed and changed the terrain to a volcanic crater.

In the scorching air, Bai Cangshu sat cross-legged in the volcanic crater, his entire body covered in Armament Haki.

Bai Cangshu's Armament Haki was not acquired through learning abilities, but was mastered by utilizing an abnormal learning ability when Kori possessed his Soul.

Therefore, he could not simply strengthen it rapidly by spending Singularity points.

Bai Cangshu could feel that as the intensity of the enemies he faced rose rapidly, this level of Armament Haki was already beginning to be somewhat unable to adapt.

Those small fry who could not break through his Armament Haki would basically be killed by the counterattack of the Blazing Flame just by attacking him.

But the enemies who could truly contend with him could all quickly break his Armament Haki, which made his defensive capabilities appear quite insufficient.

Bai Cangshu sat cross-legged, and a verdant leaf appeared in his hand; just as the leaf was brought out, that unusual fragrance entered Bai Cangshu's nasal cavity.

Bai Cangshu felt his brain become cool and refreshed.

It was as if in a single instant, there were no more obstacles in his brain, and thinking about problems felt completely unhindered.

The various problems and manifestations of Armament Haki all appeared in his mind.

Bai Cangshu leaped down from the volcanic crater, his pitch-black body rubbing against the crater wall.

Flame Dragon Scale appeared in an instant, and the Armament Haki fluctuated continuously; the intense friction and the high heat of the magma were both rapidly clashing with his Armament Haki.

Bai Cangshu popped the Bodhi Leaf into his mouth; the next moment, the Armament Haki re-condensed in a form almost visible to the naked eye, as he utilized "spirit" in a more efficient way.

Bai Cangshu did not lack spirit; he only lacked technique. Now, accompanied by this realization that was almost self-taught, his Haki strength increased rapidly.

Bai Cangshu perceived the power of this "enlightenment" state and did not waste much time.

He took that "Heavenly Book" directly from his Backpack—【Imperial Supreme World Book】!

This book, in which no connection to martial arts techniques could be seen at all before, recorded various fates and Calamities. As Bai Cangshu flipped through it at this moment, the electric current stored in his heart also continuously condensed toward his eyes.

Bai Cangshu fell from the volcanic crater at this moment and sat cross-legged in a depression at the center of the crater.

The temperature here was extremely high, and the air was filled with volcanic ash and the smell of sulfur; there was very little oxygen.

But Bai Cangshu did not notice at all; his eyes opened, lightning wandered within them, and his gaze was empty, as if his spirit had wandered beyond the Heavens.

Bai Cangshu still felt it was not enough and began to use the title ability of 【Wild Desolation Concealed Light】 to draw upon the lightning in the atmosphere. In an instant, thunderclouds gathered above the volcanic crater, and the dark clouds almost pressed down onto the crater.

Muffled thunder roared in bursts.

In this rare state, symbols began to appear in Bai Cangshu's mind; these symbols then transformed into human figures, and 【Information】 was displaying its own hidden mysteries in various different forms.

The 【Imperial Supreme World Book】 contained a certain principle of martial arts, but it did not appear in the form of conventional human language; it was stored within solely in the form of special information.

Furthermore, that kind of information was not fixed, nor was it limited.

Bai Cangshu looked at the ever-changing symbols, which seemed to contain infinite variations, his eyes dazed.

The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously; he wanted to see clearly, he wanted to understand!

Hum~

His pitch-black long hair began to drift backward, and the invisible spiral in Bai Cangshu's heart began to rotate once again.

A massive amount of information changed continuously in Bai Cangshu's mind.

At this moment, he had begun to understand why, in the original work, the cultivation methods that everyone realized from the 【Imperial Supreme World Book】 were all different.

Because 【Information】 is 【Information】; that is not something that ordinary humans can understand. Practitioners are merely observing from their own perspectives.

Whatever perspective you use to observe, you will obtain that result.

Different people observe, and there are different results; naturally, different realizations will be produced.

Blood gushed from Bai Cangshu's mouth and nose, and the hair behind his head also quickly began to turn white, but Bai Cangshu felt nothing; he wanted to see all the information with incomparable Greed Sin, he wanted to encompass all the power, until the blood from his mouth and nose began to soak that Bodhi Leaf.

Only then did he open his eyes, and his greed subsided.

"Such a good thing... Hongchen, you really should have traded it all to me~"

——

At the summit of ancient Mount Nanyue in Dongxia, there is a huge lake; legend has it that this was the place where Zuoci once refined pills, so it is called Alchemy Lake.

Hongchen lay in the lake alone, swimming happily; after shaking off the Sage, he felt that the world was vast and he could go anywhere, and since His Excellency Fate Eternal had also gone missing, for him, the outcome could not be better.

"Heh, Tao Baibai, if you aren't willing to take me in, then so be it; with my current strength..."

"Achoo!"

He suddenly sneezed, and a massive blast of gale Qi blew him out of the lake, instantly freezing the entire Alchemy Lake solid.

Hongchen knew that with his current Constitution and internal energy, it was impossible for him to catch a cold; this was likely some kind of spiritual intuition—someone was harboring ill intentions while thinking of him?!

Who on earth could it be!

Thinking of this, Hongchen decided to accept the invitation from Song Xian; he had heard that the protector behind Dongxia was that person from 【Blue Sky】...
