Chapter 310: Lord·Old·Flame State Advancement!

When confirming that the "Old Days·Steam" is gradually coalescing a steam ring around the Mystic Cabin, it has not been blown away by the wind of the Barrier Wind Tunnel.

Ta Ke then gradually feels relieved.

If the settled "Old Days·Steam" were blown away by the wind, Ta Ke would have to move his position.

Fortunately, the binding power of the Steam Mystic Cabin is strong enough.

The coalesced steam ring circulates steadily within the Barrier Wind Tunnel.

Moreover, it actively draws source energy from the Barrier Wind Tunnel, letting it join the Steam Mystic Cabin's energy circulation.

The system opened.

Ta Ke examined the many suitable idle development sites on the system's search page.

The foremost are the several Steam Spires that Ta Ke selected at the hub node of Qianya Mermaid Island.

Qianya Mermaid Island aligns with the era's trajectory more than Ta Ke had imagined.

The number of Steam Spires there is indeed considerable.

Because each source‑energy tower competes for source‑energy experience, each Steam Spire that forms its own isolated steam ecosystem cannot provide Ta Ke with much source‑energy experience.

In a large ecosystem, it is best to have only one core where source energy converges.

This makes it more suitable for Ta Ke to anchor that core point for long‑term development.

In his thoughts, Ta Ke looks again at his Mystic Cabin.

This inevitably raises a slight furrow in Ta Ke's brow.

"In itself… this Barrier Wind Tunnel brings a massive amount of pure source energy; it's just a bit too violent."

"Normally it isn't easily absorbed by Transcendants, but the problem is that the system's anchored development zone doesn't care whether it's violent or not."

"Within a unit of time, the amount of source‑energy circulation passing through this area is quite large."

"The basic source‑energy experience can reach as high as 12.2."

"You should know that the basic source energy on Source Realm Island is only 18.2."

"The Second Ring State is around 25."

"If the Mystic Cabin supports a Third Ring State, or even a Fourth Ring State."

"The source‑energy experience would then approach nearly 40."

"A quite good development site!"

A faint smile tugged at Ta Ke's mouth corner.

"It's just that this place is too spacious; the ecological cycle's cycle only has source energy."

"But Qianya Mermaid Island is similar; talent fragments are also extremely scarce."

"It will take about a fortnight for the system to re‑anchor the development zone."

"During this period, I will steadily practice the Transcendent State."

"Currently, my need for source‑energy experience isn't high."

"Advancing the Transcendent State is the key."

In his thoughts, Ta Ke gradually concentrates his mind and enters the Steam·Old·Star Meditation.

Not long after.

"Wuwuwu…"

Behind Ta Ke, like the surface of a star sea, a faint rumble of steam sequences came, followed by a wave of Old·Star meditation phenomena rising from the star sea and reaching the sky above Ta Ke's seated area.

Continuously completing the steam ecological cycle with Ta Ke.

While performing the Steam·Old·Star Meditation, Ta Ke delicately feels his current Transcendent State.

【Transcendent State】

It is the core within the core of a Transcendent.

It can be said that a Transcendent who has condensed the Transcendent State is the one who truly touches the threshold of the transcendent world.

The essence of the Transcendent State is to use sequences as a foundation, constructing a new form of life, thereby breaking free from the frail constraints of flesh and soul.

Ta Ke heard that within Mo Lei·Shen Ting, those Transcendent sorcerers who have cultivated a special Transcendent State…

…once they condense the Transcendent State, they first yank out their own soul and crush it on the spot.

Then, using the Transcendent State in a stripping manner, they shed their flesh body and immediately turn the corpse to ash.

Afterwards, they continuously cultivate the outline of the Transcendent State's "dual‑phase of void and reality," eventually completing the construction of a 100% Transcendent State.

The sorcerers of Mo Lei·Shen Ting are thus marked by ruthless cruelty and incomprehensibility.

Is it because they bear such a great hatred toward their own soul and flesh?

Nevertheless, this also reveals…

【Transcendent State】's importance to a Transcendent.

【Lord·Old·Flame State】

This is Ta Ke's current Transcendent State.

A fourth‑rank Transcendent, with a Transcendent State cap of 20%.

And it requires reaching 20% to support promotion to the fifth rank.

A fifth‑rank Transcendent, with a cap of 50%, and must reach 50% to achieve the sixth‑rank promotion.

Sixth‑rank, bishop‑level Transcendent, whose perfect Transcendent State is naturally 100%.

Perfectly condensing a 100% Transcendent State.

In soul, flesh, or transcendent will, there will be no further shortcomings.

And this is why those senior bishops possess astonishing power.

With a 20% Transcendent State, Ta Ke can consume materials to ascend to the fifth rank.

But Ta Ke's current Transcendent State is only about 5.6 %.

If his Life Framework had not metamorphosed into Leader‑ and Lord‑tier, the Transcendent State cap would not have risen dramatically.

Now at level 49, Ta Ke can already ascend to the fifth tier.

Although Ta Ke's "Transcendent State" progression is relatively slow.

but the enormous advantages of Leader‑ and Lord‑tier Transcendent States.

they attract hordes of Transcendents like moths to a flame!

Whether in Saintland or in Padelin New Voyage Island.

Many Transcendents, even for a single elite Life Framework, will fight to the point of bloodied heads.

Up to 65 times the base Steam Wizard's vitality.

Moreover, as Ta Ke continuously draws in the "World Star Pattern," he can keep raising the ceiling of his Transcendent State's durability.

With such a high ceiling, the Transcendent State excels at endurance!

As a wizard, being a bit fleshy is essential; otherwise one has no soul.

As the Steam Wonder Cabin begins stockpiling more and more "Old Steam," the ecological cycle starts to take effect.

Ta Ke's 【Lord Old Flame State】 progression speed also keeps increasing.

About half a month later.

Just as the assassin who brought Ta Ke and Hai Yisha here, a fourth‑tier elite merfolk ocean warrior, said.

Indeed, fearless Transcendents from the East Continent Stone Golem Empire will come to raid.

Roughly forty to fifty individuals: third‑tier Transcendents plus a dozen fourth‑tier Transcendents, soaring on the wind.

Upon arrival, they brandished various magic scrolls, alchemical bombs, and even Transcendent firearms.

They unleashed a barrage upon the defenders stationed here.

The fifth‑tier Shadow Demon Spider Lord hasn't eaten in a long time.

When it saw the newcomers, it struck immediately.

Upon seeing a fifth‑tier Shadow Lord here.

The raiding Transcendents were instantly terrified, fleeing in panic with all their might.

After this brief raid incident.

Ta Ke invited Hai Yisha over.

He then began using the Old Star Meditation Book to transmit the Old Star Meditation to her.

Having Hai Yisha inherit the Old Star Meditation Scripture was also one of the agreements between Ta Ke and Flying Fish Lord Valentin Wood.

A few days later, after the transmission was complete, Hai Yisha left in great joy.

Ta Ke then steadied his mind and, inside the Wonder Cabin, began a steady cultivation to advance his Transcendent State.

As his level rose higher.

Ta Ke clearly felt that the required time kept lengthening.

Ta Ke also knows this.

These are all perfectly normal.

A wizard builds a secure high tower precisely to cultivate safely inside for long periods, doesn't he?

It is said that many high‑level Transcendents meditate for years at a time, even a decade or more.

Nowadays, as a fourth‑tier Steam Wizard, Ta Ke doesn't need such lengthy single‑session cultivation.

But each focused cultivation still requires two to three months, sometimes half a year.

Immersed in the Transcendent State's condensation, Ta Ke completely lost track of the outside world's passage of time.
