Enlightenment: Attaining the Dao at Age 8 - Chapter 57 - 56: Uploading the Martial Dao Evolution Path

Chapter 57: Chapter 56: Uploading the Martial Dao Evolution Path

He opened his eyes and stretched, feeling his Martial Dao strength had once again risen a level. The sensation made him feel light as a feather.

’The feeling of getting stronger is amazing!’

After savoring the feeling for a long time, Li Chang’an slowly exhaled and muttered to himself, “I finally see what the principal meant when he said the resource consumption after becoming a Reincarnator is more staggering than you’d think!”

“It’s easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but hard to go from extravagant back to frugal.”

“Once you get used to rapid cultivation by absorbing Energy Crystals, going back to normal training is torture. You can meditate your heart out for a day or two, and your internal Energy will barely budge… Wouldn’t that be so frustrating it’d make your skin crawl?!”

He had only been cultivating for half a day, yet by using the continuous supply of pure energy from the Martial Arts Energy Core, Li Chang’an had managed to restore his strength to its peak.

The results were far better than Li Chang’an had anticipated.

But that brought up a problem.

A single Energy Core cost 10,000 Rebirth Points, and that was just for the most basic Tier One Energy Core.

The subsequent costs would only become more and more outrageous.

If a Reincarnator wanted to maintain this pace of rapid cultivation, the resource consumption was terrifying to even think about. You’d have to measure it by the second.

Even for exceptionally talented Reincarnators, without the backing of a powerful family or a wealthy domain, the Rebirth Points needed just to purchase Energy Cores would be enough to make their heads spin.

No wonder the Human Alliance and the Reincarnator Association were able to manage the numerous and unruly Reincarnators in such an orderly fashion.

By controlling such a terrifying amount of resources, they had no reason to fear that Reincarnators would break the rules!

After restoring his strength to its peak, Li Chang’an thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and purchased another Energy Core. He wanted to see if he could break through the threshold of a Tier One Martial Artist and step directly into the ranks of a Tier Two Martial Artist.

After all, he had briefly broken through to the Martial Saint Realm before his death in his previous life, so he had already glimpsed the scenery at a higher level.

With his prior experience and a sufficient supply of energy, he was quite confident he could succeed.

However, imagination was one thing, but reality was another. He consumed the Crystal Stone, but the bottleneck didn’t budge an inch.

[Ding! A Tier One Energy Core cannot provide the energy required to break through to a Tier Two Martial Artist. If required, please purchase a Tier Two Energy Crystal Stone!]

Li Chang’an: “…”

’Why the hell didn’t you say so earlier?’

Having wasted an Energy Core for nothing, Li Chang’an was so angry his jaw ached.

He now had 120,000 Rebirth Points left, which should be enough to buy a Tier Two Martial Arts Energy Core. The only problem was that his Citizen Level was too low, so he couldn’t purchase it directly in the Rebirth Space.

Not being able to buy it directly meant he would get ripped off. The number of Rebirth Points Li Chang’an had might seem like a lot, but it wouldn’t last long if he kept getting fleeced.

He had to raise his Citizen Level immediately; otherwise, everything would be inconvenient.

There were actually many ways for an ordinary Reincarnator to raise their Citizen Level.

For example, they could complete special missions issued by the local Reincarnator Association, increase their domain’s population, expand their territory, or eliminate more Exotic Beasts that threatened human cities during the “tide”…

The methods were diverse. As long as one was determined, there was always a way to advance.

But for Li Chang’an, all these methods had one or two fatal flaws: they either required waiting for the right opportunity or would take a long time to show results!

And right now, Li Chang’an clearly didn’t have that much time to wait.

Therefore, he decided to choose the simplest, most direct, and fastest method to raise his Citizen Level.

—He would upload the Martial Dao cultivation method he had comprehended on the Celestial Yang Continent!

In truth, the Martial Dao Evolution Path was no longer considered a novel cultivation method in the Main World. It could even be said to be one of the very first cultivation and evolution methods the Main World had ever encountered.

A considerably large number of Reincarnators in the Main World currently cultivated the Martial Dao Evolution Path.

As a result, this cultivation path had already been made quite complete through the tireless efforts of numerous Reincarnators. Even if Li Chang’an uploaded the Cultivation Method he learned on the Celestial Yang Continent, it would, at best, be just one inconspicuous branch among the dozens, or even hundreds, of Martial Dao Evolution Paths.

He might receive a handsome reward for it.

But raising his Citizen Level by a full Level probably wasn’t that simple.

Of course, Li Chang’an was well aware of this.

But one mustn’t forget that he had used his Heaven-defying Comprehension on the Celestial Yang Continent to create the *Taiping Body Refining Divine Skill* and the *Taiping Qingyu True Scripture*!

These two Cultivation Techniques greatly lowered the barrier to entry for Martial Dao cultivation, even allowing ordinary people with no hope of ever pursuing the Martial Dao to glimpse the path to the Extraordinary.

Even in the entire history of the Martial Dao on the Celestial Yang Continent, they were absolutely epoch-making creations…

Their greatness was self-evident!

And what Li Chang’an needed to do now was use his Heaven-defying Comprehension to slightly modify these two Cultivation Techniques, making them more suitable for ordinary people in the Main World to cultivate.

Then, he would upload them to increase his contribution score with the Human Alliance!

If he could successfully lower the barrier to entry for the Main World’s Martial Dao Evolution Path, allowing thousands upon thousands of ordinary people to glimpse the path of the Extraordinary Martial Dao, Li Chang’an refused to believe the Human Alliance wouldn’t reward him handsomely.

Having thought it all through, Li Chang’an took a deep breath and said, “Mark, purchase the Cultivation Method for the Main World’s Martial Dao Evolution Path!”

[Ding! Your Citizen Level is too low. You may only purchase the Cultivation Method for the Tier One Martial Dao Evolution Path. This will cost 20,000 Rebirth Points. Do you wish to purchase?]
