Chapter 1048 - 457: Cultivation Technique Completed 2

He lightly tapped, and a figure appeared on the large screen—it was Wu!

"Currently, nobody knows the identity of this person, but according to intelligence analysis, he undoubtedly possesses power not inferior to ours, and is undoubtedly human."

"Some rats in the shadows have lurked too long, and finally they can’t hold back anymore."

His tone was cold, and his lion-like eyes flickered with murder intent.

"The Investigation Bureau will gather information on these people, but they’ve been in hiding for so long, they won’t easily show their tails," said the Venerable Supreme, "and such level of strong individuals require power of the same level to handle."

"Change is imminent; if you still wish to maintain your positions, you can no longer each fend for themselves like before."

"The battle in Peng City was a very good start; I hope you can continue to maintain it, and even go further."

The Supreme’s speech plunged the field into silence. Finally, the Longevity King spoke first: "The enemies have clearly gathered to aim their spears at us; at such times, I certainly understand the bigger picture, as long as some don’t sow discord."

The Martial Extreme King revealed his iconic smile: "Surely you’re not referring to me, I’m harmonious with everyone."

The King of Slaughter said indifferently: "I don’t like you two, but I know who the enemy is."

Seeing the three express their positions in succession, the Supreme’s face also eased and laughed: "If the enemies knew the three Celestial Kings would join forces because of them, they’d probably be scared to pee their pants."

The other three laughed too.

Their worries stem from prudent foresight, but as the ultimate victors from worldwide top strong individuals, each of them has sufficient confidence in themselves.

The three Celestial Kings departed in succession, and as the projector dimmed, only the Supreme was left.

He sank into the sofa, shadows enveloping him, resembling an elderly man deep in thought.

As the person in charge of Huaxia, he had many matters to consider, but now those involving livelihood, military, and politics, once of utmost importance, were all cast aside. In his mind was only the latest report received thirty minutes ago.

[Path to Divinity predicted start time: Four years, six months, and fourteen days.]

"Change is imminent indeed."

...

Seven months later.

Chu Xiu’s entire mind focused within the Spirit Platform, where thousands upon thousands of Cause and Effect Points burned crazily, like fuel in an engine, propelling some large object to unleash astounding power.

In Chu Xiu’s consciousness, a figure sat cross-legged, calculating swiftly. That figure was exactly like Chu Xiu, no, it was Chu Xiu himself! Yet he couldn’t capture that person’s thoughts, because everything proceeded too swiftly.

Under the effect of Cause and Effect Points, a week’s retreat felt as though hundreds of years had passed, with time compressed to the extreme before this unimaginable mighty force.

Suddenly, that little figure deep in thought opened his eyes abruptly, and at the same time, a torrent of information surged into Chu Xiu’s mind!

"Finally succeeded!"

After fully digesting that information, Chu Xiu’s consciousness irrepressibly rose with joyous emotions.

Throughout these seven months, he had been studying various texts, principles, and cultivation techniques, constantly verifying and optimizing his ideas, entirely consuming six million Cause and Effect Points, finally bringing his self-created Pill Formation Technique to a foolproof state a week ago.

And after that, he consumed another four million eight hundred thousand Cause and Effect Points, finally transforming everything he learned in these seven months into this cultivation technique—a technique capable of cultivation, aiding him in refining the nebula, and helping him form the core!

"Never expected, I actually managed to create it, and in just seven short months..."

"Without the assistance of Cause and Effect Points, perhaps even in seven hundred years, I would be hard-pressed to achieve it."

Chu Xiu felt somewhat emotional.

And this was merely a core formation cultivation technique, although somewhat special, essentially still just a core formation cultivation technique!

But even so, the computational speed of Chu Xiu, nearing Divinity Transformation, still took such a long time!

"And this still doesn’t involve rules; once reaching Divinity Transformation Stage, beginning to perceive the rules, the complexity of cultivation techniques will increase geometrically..."

Chu Xiu finally understood why those cultivation bigshots, once in retreat, wouldn’t leave the door for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

"However, despite the immense consumption, I’ve finally created a cultivation technique that suits me almost perfectly, allowing me to begin cultivation anew."

"Also, somewhat making up for my shortcomings. Now, perhaps I can truly be called a ’Cultivator,’ and not a puppet of the Abyss..."

Chu Xiu felt a faint smile rise within, the weight of a large stone finally removed, henceforth his path was clear!

"Then the next task is simple."

Chu Xiu didn’t hesitate, continuing to burn Cause and Effect Points.

"Add points!"

...

"I say, have any of you felt that the statue is actually quite bizarre?"

Meanwhile, not far from Chu Xiu’s stony figure, Li Mao couldn’t hold back and spoke.

The longer he stayed by the statue, the more he felt a chilling sensation, as if within that statue was a nuclear bomb on the brink of fusion, the stone layer suppressing that energy might explode him to bits at any moment.

The other two didn’t respond to him.

Sun Shisan and Red Swan were kneeling before the statue, devoutly chanting prayers.

More precisely, kneeling in front of Blue Boy.
