After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 323 Three Years to Nascent Soul, Five Years to Ascension
After explaining everything, Chu Ke returned to his cave.

He wanted to try to improve the cultivation level of this body.

In this world, there are three classic paths to foundation building: the Heavenly Path, the Earthly Path, and the Human Path. Different foundation building methods determine how far one can go on the subsequent path. The better the foundation building, the better the talent one will gain when reaching the Golden Core stage [Marrow Cleansing and Mortal Transformation].

Human Foundation Building requires taking a Foundation Building Pill at the peak of Qi Refining to overcome the bottleneck. Because the method is essentially to advance through a man-made object, it is called Human Foundation Building.

To establish a foundation in the underground realm, one needs to obtain a wisp of "source energy" naturally created by nature and refine it into the dantian. This wisp of source energy is somewhat similar to the "core" of spiritual energy. The relationship between the two is somewhat similar to that of a spring and a pool of water, or like iron ore and iron mother.

As for the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building, it requires consuming specific rare and precious materials while refining the source energy, so as to take another step forward.

Chu Ke's original body was nothing more than the head of an ordinary, remote sect, and naturally, he was at the most ordinary Foundation Establishment stage.

However, this is extremely precious. In this era, no one can achieve the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. Even the holy sons and daughters of some major sects, who devote all their sect's resources to cultivating them, can only use the Earthly Dao Foundation Establishment. The Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment has almost become a legend from ancient times.

Then some people might ask, why is it a rule that the older something is, the stronger it becomes?

It's very simple. Take a simple example: the original prescription for Angong Niuhuang Wan (安宫牛黄丸) used rhinoceros horn and antelope horn. However, after rhinoceroses were hunted and became protected animals, legislation was enacted that only water buffalo horn could be used.

Those special rare and precious materials were none other than this "water buffalo horn," which gradually disappeared under the wheels of time. In this era, it is basically impossible to gather a complete set of rare and precious materials needed for the foundation building of the Heavenly Dao.

One of the rare herbs, called "Phoenix Tail Dragon Heart Grass," is a recorded extinction. The only one remaining in the Heavenly Medicine Pavilion fifteen years ago has lost its medicinal properties because the other ingredients were not available and had been stored for too long.

As for whether Doritos can be used instead of buffalo horns, Doritos are cheaper than buffalo horns.
Anyone who can come up with this question will only ever eat Doritos for the rest of their life.

But this is not a problem for Chu Ke.

It doesn't mean simply using basic force to sculpt a piece; that would be too boring.

Aside from his omnipotent basic abilities, Chu Ke is backed by countless worlds.

An idea gradually rose in Chu Ke's mind: if it could succeed, then everyone's foundation in the Heavenly Dao would be within reach.

Once the foundation-building issue is resolved, subsequent cultivation is not particularly difficult. What others consider extremely precious high-grade cultivation techniques are merely the result of a few exhaustive searches under the unlimited computing power of the [Office].

The key issue is "ascension".

When Chu Ke extracted the Heavenly Dao's fortune from Ye Chen, he indirectly comprehended some of the Heavenly Dao's rules.

The ascension in this world is actually incredibly abstract, pure bureaucracy.

Simply put, it's a one-to-one system. Besides meeting the cultivation requirements, ascension also requires a "position" in the "Heavenly Realm" that belongs to you. Either you're incredibly lucky and happen to find a "position" that belongs to you and no one else can occupy it for the time being, or you have connections who can help you arrange everything in advance. Only then can you smoothly embark on the path to immortality. Otherwise, you will fail to ascend and your path to immortality will be broken, and you will die in the spacetime turbulence between the two realms.

It's disgusting beyond words.

This has created a situation where the earlier the era, the easier it is to become an immortal; currently, ascension is almost tantamount to suicide.

Chu Ke could guess with his own eyes that the one who orchestrated this was none other than the result of collusion between the Heavenly Dao and the immortals of the Upper Realm.

There's no other reason than that Heaven cannot directly cut off the path to immortality, nor can it arbitrarily unleash calamities to erase the lives of others. However, Heaven needs the deaths of cultivators to replenish the "origin" that has been plundered. According to the enrichment effect, the place where the origin is most concentrated is precisely this group of cultivators who are about to ascend. And the immortals of the upper realm can just happen to be able to influence these ascendants by sacrificing their own fortune, preserving their positions while being bribed by Heaven to replenish the fortune they have consumed.

The two are an unbreakable alliance of interests.

Of course, breaking this situation is actually quite simple—just make the ascendant's strength far surpass that of the immortal.

It sounds simple, but the difference in strength between different realms in cultivation is exponential, making it impossible to succeed.

Unless the product of the number of ascendants and the individual strength of each person far exceeds the product of the number of immortals and the individual strength of each person.

The gap between individual strength stats cannot be changed, but the number of people can be changed!

Their only flaw was the limitation on the number of immortals, as the number of immortals was limited.

The beings in the lower realms are almost as numerous as those in the Bitter Realm, who spawn at fixed points. With the addition of countless arrays or techniques that can lead to qualitative changes through quantitative changes, anything is possible.

Just thinking about it makes me excited.

With this in mind, Chu Ke took a jade slip from his cave and placed it between his eyebrows.

In an instant, a large amount of information was inscribed on it, and ten large characters slowly appeared on the surface of the document.

[Three-Year Deity Transformation, Five-Year Ascension Plan]

Of course, this is just a draft, only recording the first step of the plan—to achieve a foundation for everyone, and for everyone to build a foundation.

It is further divided into three parts: cultivation techniques, spiritual energy, and precious medicines!
The cultivation method is easy to understand. After all, without a sufficiently extraordinary cultivation method, some dull-witted people cannot even sense the Qi.

This was easy to achieve. Chu Ke simply imported the data of the people in this world, along with some basic environmental data, into the computer in the [office]. Combined with the Qingyun Sect's cultivation techniques, a powerful new cultivation technique was quickly generated.

Because the excellent name "Even idiots can practice divine skills" had already been used once before, Chu Ke could only regretfully name it "Qingyun Technique 1.0".

The second point about spiritual energy is easy to understand. When a group of people are cultivating, the spiritual energy in the environment will inevitably be insufficient. This is why some major sects equip themselves with spirit-gathering arrays.

However, the Spirit Gathering Array only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. In essence, it is "plunder" rather than "production." Chu Ke has some clues about this problem.

The third issue, which is the previously mentioned problem of "lack of rare and precious natural materials," is actually the easiest to solve.

Chu Ke opened the chat group after a long time and tagged V, who had been out of contact due to his carefree lifestyle: "@V, stop being carefree. Arrange a batch of cloning equipment that can be mass-produced, capable of cloning plants, along with the relevant production lines and complete cloning knowledge."

V: "1"

[V has sent you a batch of exclusive red envelopes.]
