Book 6, Chapter 122: Ascension
In the human cultivation system, there was a critical threshold that needed to be reached at every step in order to properly ascend
Qi Drawing cultivators opened their Dan Sea, Blood Boiling cultivators lit their heart laht Shaking cultivators for cultivators built their Divine Palaces, and Thought Manifestation cultivators opened their Yin-Yangs Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivators, then, would need to receive the Heavenly Temple in order to comprehend matters related to life and death and reach the pinnacle
Of course, this was a highly si
Put plainly, reaching the Ultihfare for the will of the Heavens As such, there was the need to construct a “reception hall” of sorts within an individual’s body that would join their will to that of the Heavens
Why was it necessary to reach this realm in order to comprehend Method Power? Because, at least for humans, it was only possible to receive the will of the Heavens at the Ultimate Emperor Realm
As such, the Ulti Method Power Su Chen had only ed to bypass that li Heaven inherently contained a conversion of death to life The process was incredibly dangerous, and even the slightest lapse in concentration would result in actual death
Su Chen hadn’t been in the Thought Manifestation Real, but because of his eyes, his cultivation rate was incredibly rapid, and his foundation very solid His understanding of the path to the Ultimate Emperor Real to break through anyti to his estimation, it would have taken him at least ten years to reach that point
However, his estimation was obviously not what fate had planned for him No one could have anticipated that he would be suddenly attacked by the consciousness conversion instrument
The consciousness conversion instrument stripped a person’s soul fro it to die That process, shockingly enough, just so happened to correspond with the first step of reaching the Ulti the Ultimate Emperor Realm elevated a human’s consciousness and physique at the sa the tith the will of the Heavens and producing an entity that was three-in-one
As Su Chen was dying, he had suddenly realized that the consciousness extraction instrument’s conversion process appeared to check off quite a few of the boxes necessary for humans to break into the Ultimate Emperor Realm As soon as that realization came to him, he decisively prepared to form his Heavenly Temple to receive the will of the Heavens and harmonize with it
Death followed by resurrection!
That was his decision In truth, it was a tremendous risk
But Su Chen had no choice If this opportunity passed hiain anyti to withstand the instruan toto the Ultian to lay the foundation for the Heavenly Te the will of the Heavens involved the second step in ascending to the Ultimate Emperor Realm: Illumination
In the process of ascension, Illumination was simultaneously the most important and the least important step
It was the least i at this step would not affect the ascension process much As such, it was quite secure
On the other hand, it was the most important because this step was the only step where one could coo after reaching the Ultimate Emperor Realm was very much tied to this step
Su Chen didn’t knohat others had experienced when receiving the will of the Heavens, but as soon as he finished constructing his Heavenly Temple and his body had withered, he suddenly became able to clearly perceive the countless profound mysteries that this world contained
Method Power!
Never before had the world of Method Power been so clear in his eyes
Most people’s vision was foggy and blurry during the process of Illu around him with unprecedented clarity
This was because this profound and mystical entity, which was in to Su Chen
He had ained so, and consciousness Method Power along the way
His comprehension of Method Poas far beyond as expected of hiiven his cultivation base, so this step, which was arduous for others, was actually the easiest for him
When Su Chen realized this, he made no attean to perceive the truest,in the areas in his knowledge that had been lacking before
But Su Chen also had his own struggles
The third step in ascending was Soul Joining
A person’s body and soul would e, then be joined to the Heavens
Su Chen had ed to do the latter but not the former, because the consciousness extraction instrument had separated his consciousness body froether
That was also the biggest difference between breaking into the Ultimate Emperor Realm and what the consciousness extraction instru into the Ultimate Emperor Realht about by the consciousness extraction instrument was very real
His body would actually wither, with no chance for regeneration Only his consciousness body would remain
If his physical body was incapable of resurrecting, then all of this effort would turn out to be completely in vain After all, humans did not see physical bodies as mere shells for their consciousnesses but as the very instrument of cultivation
Thankfully, Su Chen had the Lifesource Candles still on him
Lifesource Candles would increase an individual’s vitality te people the ability to “jump realms”, was incredibly powerful Actually, they were infused completely with vitality Method Power
The Lifesource Candles could be lit with one’s soul, so Su Chen decided to burn one and place it in his Heavenly Temple
This lick of fire became the final ray of hope that Su Chen could hold onto after death, and a tre the Ultilow that Menelaus saw surrounding Su Chen’s body ca around in Su Chen’s body, and as it burned, Su Chen’s body began to coain
Only now had Menelaus finally realized as happening
Su Chen actually wanted to use this opportunity to break into the Ultimate Emperor Realm!
“Don’t even think about it!” Menelaus yelled
He raised his tricolor gey shot towards Su Chen
This was the Withering Ray, but as in Menelaus’s hands it had beco Even real Ultimate E it
It surged straight for Su Chen’s soul, wanting to destroy it for good
Obviously, Menelaus had dropped the idea of turning Su Chen into a consciousness entity
“You’re too late,” Su Chen chuckled when he saw the ray of light shooting in his direction
The consciousness Su Chen lifted his hand and pointed in front of hi with it Shockingly enough, Withering Ray was actually incapable of advancing even a single inch A legendarily powerful Arcana Technique had been completely nullified
Menelaus was stunned
