My Ability Pool is Superior - Chapter 379: Solution

Normally, to complete the target mission in a round of deathmatch duel, the “node” may not be absolutely essential, but it can provide great help to a large degree.

Lu Bai obtained the “node” this time relatively early.

However, after obtaining this node’s in the cultivation world, he at most used the immortal qi naturally emitted by this flower of immortality to stabilize his primordial spirit covered in cracks, and did not conduct any in-depth research on this flower of immortality.

He used his divine sense for internal vision, staring at the flower of immortality rooted on his primordial spirit, lost in thought.

This flower of immortality is indeed useful, as the mystical aspects of immortal qi are numerous; it is energy one level higher than spiritual energy.

Healing, breaking through realm, marrow cleansing and meridian strengthening, improving magic power quality, etc., and at the very least, inhaling immortal qi daily can extend lifespan.

The problem is that these effects are basically of no great use to cultivators above the integration stage.

At that realm, they already possess a body without blemish, and the effects that immortal qi can produce, such great powers can easily achieve.

Lu Bai studied it for a while and found that the only use this flower of immortality seemed to have for mahayana stage cultivators was gaining comprehension of the immortal path through the immortal qi it emitted.

“Better than nothing.”

After actually experiencing it, Lu Bai found that there was some comprehension, but in his view, it held little meaning.

After all, with his aptitude, the path to immortality was a smooth one.

If he had endured the ninefold heavenly tribulation of becoming an immortal back then, he would probably have ascended to the heavenly realm by now.

He truly looked down on this comprehension speed that was barely faster than a snail crawling.

…Wait a moment.

Looking at this flower of immortality continuously emitting immortal qi, Lu Bai’s thoughts suddenly took a turn.

He suddenly realized that this kind of thing did not necessarily have to be used by himself, right?

Admittedly, the speed of gaining comprehension of the immortal path through this immortal qi was not fast; it was a matter of slow and steady work.

At this rate, it would require years of comprehension, stretching the timeline to a millennium, to achieve noticeable improvement.

It was not surprising that he, who had sped through to the mahayana stage in less than two years of cultivation, despised such a slow method.

But the key is, this is a cultivation world.

Those spirit transformation and mahayana elders and renowned figures—which one did not spend hundreds or even thousands of years to achieve such impressive cultivation?

For mahayana stage cultivators, a seclusion of several hundred years is not uncommon at all; at that realm, even the slightest imperceptible progress in cultivation can be called a successful seclusion.

Not to mention such comprehension of the immortal path that is certain to bring improvement.

If Lu Bai gave away this opportunity for comprehension, the elders and renowned figures of various immortal sects would absolutely fight over it.

Setting aside exceptions like Lu Bai, for other mahayana stage cultivators, if they had the opportunity to glimpse the great dao, they would absolutely not mind a mere millennium of time.

Thinking this way, the expression on Lu Bai’s face gradually became somewhat strange.

One point to note is that the spiritual energy of this cultivation world has been substantially declining.

Even without Lu Bai making sweeping modifications to the social structure, the future he saw with the great evolution immortal art would still occur; it was just a matter of sooner or later.

The cultivation path that prospered based on spiritual energy would naturally fall into decline as the concentration of spiritual energy decreased.

From prosperity to decay, from decay back to prosperity, perfectly aligning with yin and yang.

It was just that world changes occurred on the scale of hundreds of thousands of years; even mahayana stage cultivators could not live that long.

In fact, the signs were already present now.

Lu Bai had learned that in the most active period of cultivation, almost every immortal sect had mahayana stage grand elders in residence, and every ten years or so, one could hear of some immortal sect’s grand elder or rogue cultivator passing the immortal ascension tribulation and ascending in broad daylight.

But now, only a handful of holy lands and top great sects still had mahayana stage cultivators as their foundation, and as for ascension to immortality, it had not occurred for over a millennium.

Under these premises, the flower of immortality guaranteed that as long as spiritual energy could support it, the possessor could steadily improve until transforming from mortal to immortal.

How important a path to immortality that could be touched with effort was to these cultivators was self-evident.

“So this time’s ‘node’ is not to provide help to the death fighter, but a carrot dangling in front of the donkey?”

…

After all, this flower of immortality originated from Lu Bai; he could do whatever he wanted with it.

Although he had not actually verified it, he could affirm in his intuition that as long as he was willing, he could transfer this flower of immortality to another person.

In addition, as the first possessor, he could leave his own trace on this flower of immortality.

In other words, he could completely pass down his will through this flower of immortality.

Previously, he had been thinking about how to adjust the system to ensure that the law’s implementation would not fade with his departure.

Unfortunately, the dark side of human nature does not disappear due to cultivation; any system is inevitably subject to decay one day.

Compared to relying on people’s inner morality to maintain it, sufficiently massive benefits could instead sustain it longer.

Lu Bai took out the flower of immortality attached to his primordial spirit.

He looked at the flower of immortality suspended in his palm, emitting shimmering radiance, and inexplicably felt a dramatic sense of traveling the world only to find the answer already in his hand.

He did not need to leave too many restrictions; he only needed to select the user.

To be rigorous, only one rule was needed: once the possessor did something to violate the law, this flower of immortality would dim as a divine object.

When the spiritual energy concentration further decreased, this flower of immortality would become the only path to immortality; no cultivator would give it up.

In the end, the purpose of cultivators cultivating is to become an immortal.

In other words, in the future, no matter what the cultivator possessing the flower of immortality truly thought inwardly, they would be forced to be a sage who cared for the masses.

Anyway, in this aspect, it judges the heart, not the deeds.

This way, it neither selects for disposition nor for talent.

Anyway, the effects of immortal qi are sufficiently powerful at lower cultivation levels: marrow cleansing and meridian strengthening, breaking through realm with immortal qi as easy as drinking water, basically ensuring the possessor’s combat power is in the first echelon, or even the strongest of their era.

Even better, after becoming an immortal, one cannot continue to linger in the mortal realm.

Perhaps, in the end, it still cannot guarantee that this characteristic cultivation system will last forever.

But such a positive cycle could sustain for a very long time.
