High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 210 Forging the Celestial Weapon, Applying for Graduation! The Emperor's Might! The Canaan Sutra

Qin Feng turned his attention back to the core of this mission.

He gathered all ten team members and, together with the five chiefs of Blue Star, unfolded a holographic planet map made of light screen in the conference hall.

"I have a preliminary plan regarding the disposal of this planet."

Qin Feng's finger lightly traced across the map.

"First, according to our preliminary scans, in addition to 'Leviathan,' this planet is also inhabited by a large number of alien life forms. They are a malignant tumor on the planet's ecology and the biggest obstacle to the development of native civilizations."

His gaze swept over everyone present, and he continued, "My suggestion is that I take action and eliminate all life forms of all races on this planet with a life force index exceeding 90,000."

90,000 points.

This number made the hearts of the five chief executives of Blue Star jump.

They had just learned about the martial arts realm classification within the empire, and knew that it was a vitality index approaching the planetary level.

"As for those whose vitality index is below 90,000 points..."

"Leave it all to them."

Qin Feng pointed his finger at the five chiefs who were looking focused.

"These will be their best whetstones, and also their first 'start-up capital' to lead this civilization into the interstellar age. Whether it's the accumulation of combat experience or the materials obtained from the corpses of these creatures, they will all be invaluable assets."

This is a well-thought-out plan that teaches people how to fish.

This not only cleared away a potentially fatal threat for this nascent civilization, but also left them with challenges that would hone their skills.

"Secondly,"

Qin Feng continued, "This planet has an excellent ecological environment and a very high life index, which fully meets the Empire's standards for habitability."

Therefore, no additional biological modification is required.

"It will probably take about a hundred years for this world to truly and fully integrate with the human empire and be completely incorporated into the great tide of the Star River Martial Arts Era."

Qin Feng gave a final summary and looked at his ten teammates.

"In that case, the follow-up work is clear."

Please compile a list of coordinates for all the myriad life forms with a vitality index exceeding 90,000 and send it to me.

I will submit the mission as soon as I have dealt with these threats.

His gaze swept across the faces of the ten team members one by one, and finally he said with a hint of entrustment: "And for the next hundred years, I'll be counting on you all."

You will remain here, alongside these five chiefs, to guide the initial development of this civilization and establish the basic imperial order, until they are fully integrated into the empire independently.

"Yes! Captain!"

The ten team members responded in unison, their expressions solemn.

"Okay, Captain."

The two members of the Ultra Warriors squad immediately sprang into action. They quickly retrieved the data obtained from previous reconnaissance and scanning, filtered and integrated the coordinates of all high-threat targets that met the criteria, and finally formed a detailed list, which was then sent to Qin Feng's wrist terminal.

"very good."

Qin Feng nodded.

The next moment, under the shocked gazes of the five chiefs, his figure transformed into a barely perceptible spatial ripple and vanished instantly from the conference hall.

……

The dizziness from teleportation was now negligible for Qin Feng.

His figure, like a ghost, began a lightning-fast cleanup operation in every corner of the planet.

Qin Feng's figure was constantly teleporting between various coordinate points.

Each appearance was accompanied by a clean, decisive, and unsurprising kill.

"Hammer, scan the surrounding environment, watch out for high-energy reactions and rare materials."

During the cleanup, Qin Feng also issued commands to his auxiliary system in his mind.

Unfortunately, the trip ended in disappointment.

The so-called "life forms of all races" that he killed were mostly common races that were rated as "ordinary" in the Imperial Database.

Their body materials have no special value, and no noteworthy rare mineral veins or psionic resources have been found in the places where they reside.

After all, opportunities are always low-probability events.

The true path of spiritual practice is more about the daily, tedious, and arduous cultivation and accumulation.

When the red light at the last coordinate point completely went out on Qin Feng's map, he hovered ten thousand meters above the sky, looking down at the blue planet that had regained its tranquility.

He opened his wrist-worn device, brought up the task interface, and selected "Submit Task".

[Evaluation complete. Task completion: Perfect.]

[Task reward has been issued: Contribution points +50,000.]

A series of system notifications rang in his mind.

Looking at his wrist-worn terminal, where his contribution points had jumped from over 300,090 to over 359,000, Qin Feng nodded calmly.

He did not choose to teleport back to the conference room where the five chiefs were.

Qin Feng's mission has been completed, and this planet located in the void of the universe has embarked on a brand new orbit leading to the stars and the sea.

With a thought, Qin Feng chose to teleport in subspace and return to Canaan Star Martial Arts University.

The next second, Qin Feng's figure completely disappeared from the sky above this newly civilized planet.
-
The dormitory, which Qin Feng hadn't visited in a long time, was spotless, and the temperature-controlled air circulation system was working quietly, just as it had been when Qin Feng left.

This place holds nearly a century of memories for him at the Canaan Star Martial Arts University, from his struggles when he first entered the university, to his outstanding performance in the Newcomer Cup, and now his advancement to the planetary level and his impending graduation... This place has become another home for him in the universe.

The first is my home in the Qimingxing Yinou Community.

Qin Feng did not dwell on his feelings.

He sat cross-legged, and with a slight thought, a red and white light and shadow, shaped like a miniature flying dragon, was projected from his wristband, hovering gracefully in mid-air. It was his subspace intelligent assistant, Hammer.

"Hamer, inquire about weapon forging through official Imperial channels."

Qin Feng's voice was calm and steady.

"Yes, Master."

Hammer's crisp electronic voice rang out, his wings fluttered slightly, and a complex and precise light screen instantly unfolded in front of Qin Feng, listing the relevant regulations and procedures of the Imperial Trading House.

"Reporting to the master, the forging of weapons is mainly carried out through the 'Divine Craft Hall' of the 'Imperial Trading Post'."

You can submit core materials and design concepts, and the forging masters and even the intelligent matrix of the Divine Crafts Hall will evaluate and forge according to your needs.

The final contribution value required will be determined based on a comprehensive assessment of the weapon's grade, the rarity and completeness of the materials provided, and the difficulty of forging.

Qin Feng nodded slightly; this was roughly what he had expected.

The Imperial Trading Post has always been transparent in its pricing and fair to all customers, young and old.

His consciousness sank into the virtual interface of the Imperial Trading Post, a vast data space as boundless as the starry sea.

Instead of browsing the dazzling array of finished equipment, he directly initiated the application for custom forging.

Two options appeared before him: [Submit Materials], [Enter Ideas].

With a thought, two items from his subspace storage unit were selected.

The first thing was the enormous, mountain-like remains of the young Star Eater.

Although it is only a half-planetary level, the life essence and spatial attributes contained in its bones, fascia, and flesh are treasures that any planetary level powerhouse would dream of.

The second item was the "Tianyan Alloy" that was accidentally discovered in the deep sea of ​​Blue Star.

It floats silently in the virtual space, its surface flowing with a metallic luster like that of undeveloped chaos, as if it contains the ultimate mystery of the evolution of the universe.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Feng began to input his ideas.

Weapon form: spear.

"Core requirement: The ability to conduct and amplify psionic and spiritual energy to the maximum extent possible with current technology."

"Characteristic requirement: Possess the ability to grow and heal oneself."

As his concept was perfected, the intelligent matrix on the virtual interface began to operate at high speed, and massive amounts of data flowed through like a waterfall.

Just seconds later, a detailed forging plan and price quote were clearly presented before his eyes.

[Forging Scheme: Celestial Weapon (Planetary Level, Beginner)]

[Core Component: Celestial Alloy]

[Main keel: Star Devourer's spine]

[Energy Circuit: Galactus Neural Bundle]

【Characteristics: Omnipotent (can transform into any form according to the user's will), Devouring Growth (can evolve by absorbing high-level metals and energy cores, theoretically with no growth limit), Psionic Superconductivity, Mental Resonance.】

[Materials Assessment: The core material "Tianyan Alloy" has been satisfied; the main material "Star Devourer Larvae Remains" has been satisfied.]

[Missing material: To ensure the perfect realization of the 'omnidirectional' properties, 17 standard units of "Hermes Memory Metal" need to be added.]

[Supplementary Option 1: Submit "Hermes Memory Metal" yourself.]

[Supplementary Option 2: Provided by the Divine Crafts Hall, requiring a contribution of 2,000,000 points.]

"Two million contribution points..."

Looking at the number, Qin Feng checked his account balance. After receiving 378 contribution points as a reward from the Blue Star mission, his total assets were 210 points, still far from his goal of two million.

He subconsciously asked Hammer to check how much it would cost to buy a brand new, most basic version of the "Heavenly Evolution Weapon" directly from the Imperial Trading Post without these two core materials.

Hammer's research made him fully understand the significance of the words "Tianyan Alloy".

"Reporting to the master, according to the latest transaction records in the Imperial Central Database, an unclaimed Heavenly Evolution Weapon (Planetary Level, Initial Stage) has a market guidance price of 1000B contribution points."

"1000B..."

Qin Feng's eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

In the Empire's counting system, "B" is a unit so large that it can suffocate ordinary martial artists. One "B" represents a full one billion Empire contribution points.

One thousand billion, that's one trillion.

And he, simply because of the accidental discovery on Earth, has acquired this astronomical fortune.

This made him realize just how lucky he was to have found the Tianyan Alloy.

"The Heavenly Evolution Weapon is well worth the price."

Qin Feng thought to himself.

It can be used from the planetary level all the way up to the black hole level and beyond, and theoretically it can grow indefinitely.

This is no longer a weapon, but a "companion" who can accompany a martial artist on the entire path of martial arts.

Now, the problem is back to square one—how to gather those two million contribution points.

"To go on a mission?"

The idea flashed through his mind for only a moment before he dismissed it.

Planetary-level missions often take years or even decades, and the process is fraught with uncertainty.

He couldn't wait that long; the Cosmic Genius Battle was just three years away, and he had to get everything ready before then.

"Then, there's only one place left."

Qin Feng's gaze sharpened, and his consciousness instantly sank into that familiar yet challenging virtual space.

"Canaan Tower".

……

As the light and shadow shifted, when Qin Feng "opened his eyes" again, he was already on the ancient and somber stone steps of the Canaan Tower.

He has become a planetary-level powerhouse, and his life level has undergone a qualitative transformation.

This time, his starting point was the 301st floor.

Without the slightest hesitation or probing, Qin Feng's figure vanished from the spot as the guardian of the 301st floor—a phantom of a dwarf clad in heavy armor and wielding a battle axe—formed.

He didn't even use any killing techniques; he merely unleashed the terrifying power and speed inherent in his planetary-level physical body, delivering a punch.

The air was instantly shattered, producing a deafening sonic boom. The interstellar dwarf didn't even have time to react before his sturdy enchanted armor, along with his virtual body beneath it, exploded into countless points of light, like a meteorite struck by a star.

Instant kill!

Qin Feng continued his ascent without pause.

They swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum!

Those powerful guardians who once inspired fear in countless elite and core disciples are now as fragile as paper in front of Qin Feng.

He soon reached the 900th floor.

From this point onward, the atmosphere of Canaan Tower changes abruptly.

On the ancient stone steps, a powerful will that dominates the universe and transcends time begins to emanate.

Hammer's notification sounded at the right time: "Master, you have entered the 'Record of Images' area of ​​Canaan Tower. Starting from the 901st floor, you will be facing the strongest battle imprint left by graduates in the 2.2 billion years since the founding of Canaan Star Martial Arts University."

Two and a half billion years!
What an incredibly long timescale this is! In this period of time, long enough for countless galaxies to be born and destroyed, how many exceptionally talented and powerful beings, whose might shook the universe, emerged from Canaan?
Those who were able to have their photos taken here were all the most brilliant stars of their time and class.

Qin Feng's blood began to boil slightly.

On the 901st floor, his opponent was a burly man wielding a giant shield and a warhammer.

The first commander of the Titan Chapter.

The battle broke out.

The opponent's defense was almost impenetrable, and each strike contained the terrifying power to shatter a planet.

For the first time, Qin Feng felt the pressure. He no longer relied solely on his physical body, but instead incorporated many of his mastery techniques into his fists and feet.

The majesty of the imperial palace, the endless stream of boats racing, the imposing weight of the heavy spear...

After hundreds of rounds of fierce clashes, Qin Feng finally broke through the shield with his [Golden Luan] fist imprint, ending the battle.

On the 902nd floor, the opponent transformed into a woman whose movements were elusive and whose sword flashed like lightning.

Her swordsmanship was exquisite to the extreme; each strike was like a gazelle leaping over a cliff, leaving no trace, and could even evoke beams of light and illusion.

Qin Feng was caught in a tough battle.

His aggressive and sweeping fighting style left him constantly at a disadvantage against his opponent.

But with his terrifying experience honed in the Imperial Arena, spanning over a million battles, he was able to predict every single one of his opponent's attacks.

After nearly a thousand moves, he managed to close in and restrain his opponent at the cost of withstanding a single sword strike, winning by brute force.

This battle allowed Qin Feng to successfully leave his own battle mark on the 902nd floor.

However, on the 903rd floor, he suffered a major setback.

His opponent was an ordinary-looking man who used an Imperial standard-issue long spear.

But it was this very person who made Qin Feng feel an unprecedented sense of despair.

The opponent's marksmanship had returned to simplicity, without any fancy moves, yet it perfectly embodied the three words "fast, accurate, and ruthless".

What's even more terrifying is that every shot from the opponent contained a terrifying mental pressure, which restricted Qin Feng's moves and made his mental energy-spiritual energy aggregation become sluggish.

Compared to Kaneki, the gunner I encountered in the Starry Sky Cup, this opponent is much stronger.

This is a level seven killing technique that only planetary-level experts can master, and the opponent has clearly been immersed in this art for countless years.

Qin Feng exerted all his strength, unleashing his self-created ultimate killing move, [Qian Yuan], but it was still easily neutralized by his opponent in a seemingly effortless manner. In the end, a single spear pierced through his chest, and his consciousness was transported out of Canaan Tower.

……

Inside the dormitory, Qin Feng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with a mixture of shock, emotion, and a sense of entitlement.

"The strongest graduates in 2.2 billion years... They really are monsters."

He whispered to himself.

This time, he finally accumulated 280 million contribution points by conquering the tower.

Including the existing assets, the total amount reached as much as 317 million.

"My current strength may seem to have reached the planetary level, but in reality, I am just a 'blank slate' with brute force."

Qin Feng calmly analyzed his current situation: "I don't have a real level 7 killing technique, I don't have any planetary-level equipment, and I'm still figuring out how to systematically cultivate at the planetary level. It's already quite an achievement that I was able to reach level 902 based on my past accumulation."

Without further hesitation, he reopened the Imperial Trading Post, selected to add 200 million contribution points, and formally submitted the forging order for the "Heavenly Evolution Weapon".

[Order confirmed, estimated forging time: 100 Imperial Years.]

Seeing 200 million yuan vanish from his account in an instant, leaving only 115 million yuan in balance, Qin Feng felt no heartache whatsoever.

He immediately opened the martial arts manual section and began filtering for level seven killing techniques.

"My path has been clear from the very beginning."

His will was unwavering: "Bold and decisive, charging forward without hesitation, emphasizing ruthlessness!"

After entering these keywords into the filtering criteria, a massive number of cultivation methods were eliminated, leaving only a few hundred thousand.

Qin Feng's gaze was quickly drawn to one of the techniques.

[Level 7 Killing Technique: Ninefold Blood Spear]

[Introduction: A level seven killing technique leaked from the Imperial military, created for offensive operations on the main battlefield.]

This technique is divided into nine levels, each level adding a huge amount of malevolent energy and power. When mastered, a single thrust of the spear can cause a sea of ​​blood to surge and even ghosts and gods to flee.

Its spear intent not only inflicts devastating physical damage, but also directly assaults and crushes the opponent's spirit and will with its intense killing intent.

Exchange Price: 1,000,000 Contribution Points.

That's it!

A glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes, and without the slightest hesitation, he directly chose to exchange.

After doing all this, he only had 15 contribution points left.

Contribution points have been used up again.

But Qin Feng felt a sense of fulfillment he had never felt before.

We now have the weapons of the future, and we also have the methods to kill them.

He accessed the academic affairs system of Canaan Star Martial Arts University and solemnly submitted his graduation application on that page that had been dormant for nearly a century. "The Cosmic Genius Battle will begin in three years, neither long nor short."

Qin Feng took one last look at his state of mind:
One hundred years from now, I will possess a Heavenly Evolution Weapon with boundless potential.

The level 7 killing technique, "Ninefold Blood Spear," has also been acquired.

However, the shortcomings are equally obvious: without planetary-level power armor, the specific training system for planetary-level beings, how to classify levels, and how to efficiently enhance mental power remain unclear.

Just as Qin Feng was pondering these questions, a gentle notification sound rang in his ear; it was a communication privileged by his mentor.

He immediately clicked on it, and his mentor Yu Han's familiar and dignified face appeared in the projection form, with the message already conveyed.

Qin Feng, your graduation application has been received.

Please proceed to Wuxian District immediately to collect your graduation reward and receive my final guidance as your mentor.

Qin Feng's spirits were instantly lifted.
-
Wuxian District.

The lush bamboo forest swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound.

The air was filled with the fragrance of earth and the fresh scent of bamboo leaves, which was refreshing and delightful.

A path paved with bluestone slabs winds its way into the depths of the bamboo forest, at the end of which stands an ancient three-story stone pagoda, quietly nestled in the greenery, as if it has become one with this world.

Qin Feng suppressed the overwhelming aura naturally released by a planetary-level expert, and walked step by step along the stone path toward the mentor tower like an ordinary student.

He could sense that a familiar, steady, and powerful will had already locked onto him; it was the aura of his mentor, Yu Han.

In front of the tower, Yu Han was already standing with his hands behind his back.

He was still wearing that simple martial arts uniform, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his eyes as deep as the sea.

As Qin Feng approached, a faint smile appeared on his face, a complex emotion that blended relief, appreciation, and expectation.

"coming."

Yu Han's voice remained as steady as ever.

"tutor."

Qin Feng bowed respectfully.

"I have received your graduation application and I have approved it."

Yu Han nodded, his words concise and to the point, without the slightest hesitation, "Congratulations on your official graduation."

He turned to the side, gesturing for Qin Feng to follow him into the tower.

The interior of the tower was very simply furnished, with only a stone table and two stone stools in addition to some necessary cultivation facilities.

"This is your graduation reward."

Yu Han stopped beside the stone table and said with a smile.

"Graduation reward?"

Qin Feng was slightly surprised.

"Ah."

Yu Han seemed to see through his thoughts and explained, "Every graduate has one. Although Canaan's rule is that you automatically qualify for graduation upon advancing to the planetary level, the school can't just let you geniuses, whom we've nurtured with countless resources, leave naked once you reach the planetary level."

His words carried a touch of the ruggedness and jest unique to the military, which eased the originally serious atmosphere considerably.

"The cultivation outline after the planetary level, some basic information about the major forces in the universe, a cultivation method, a standard planetary level power armor, and a matching planetary level weapon are all here."

Yu Han changed the subject, emphasizing, "Of course, the power armor and weapons are the most basic models, but their advantage lies in their versatility, which is enough for you to handle most situations. Once you are fully familiar with the power of planetary-level beings, you will still need to replace them with equipment that is more suitable for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Han waved his hand.

hum-

With a slight spatial fluctuation, a massive and ferocious war machine appeared out of thin air on the open ground inside the tower.

It was a full-body power armor in a deep blue color, with a style full of iron-blooded and powerful aesthetics, which inevitably reminded people of the ancient space warriors in the legends of the Empire.

It stands three meters tall, with shoulder armor as thick as a city wall, and the emblem of Canaan Starry Sky Martial Arts University branded on its breastplate. Every seam of the armor shimmers with the faint light of energy conduction.

Just by standing there quietly, a cold, heavy, and overwhelming aura of killing intent swept over you, making the air inside the entire stone tower seem to freeze.

Next to the power armor, a similar alloy spear was suspended in the air.

The gun is straight with smooth lines, and its surface is covered with intricate patterns for conducting psionic and mental energy. The tip of the gun gleams with a chilling light, clearly making it a deadly weapon designed for the front lines of battle.

"As for the refining method,"

Yu Han's voice drew Qin Feng's attention away from the power armor, "It is called the Canaan Sutra."

It was not created by a powerful individual, but rather it is a cultivation method that originated from Canaan Tower itself.

Well—you can think of the Canaan Tower as a supreme weapon forged by some unfathomable ancient being with unparalleled power, and the Canaan Sutra is a part of that being's legacy.

Among the countless refining techniques in the empire, its grade is considered quite high, enough to support your cultivation all the way to the Black Hole level.

As he spoke, Yu Han raised his wrist, and a data stream was instantly transmitted to Qin Feng's personal terminal through the subspace network.

"Directly connected to the level of a black hole?"

Qin Feng's pupils contracted slightly. He didn't immediately look at the invaluable document, but instead keenly grasped a key point in his mentor's words.

He raised his head, looking intently at Yu Han, and asked in confusion, "Mentor, what comes after the black hole level?"

"Um……"

Yu Han pondered for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts.

"That's exactly what I was going to tell you."

He gestured for Qin Feng to sit down, and then sat cross-legged opposite him.

"The path of a martial artist, from level one to level nine, is essentially about laying the most solid foundation for the final leap in life."

Through rigorous training, the physical body is tempered; through visualization and meditation, initial cultivation and spiritual power are strengthened; ultimately, a unique 'spiritual core' is forged within the body.

The moment the psionic core was forged, you completed the most important evolution of your life, transcending the shackles of the mortal realm.

"Those who have evolved are called 'planetary life forms.' Their spiritual energy cores are like the cores of planets, bursting forth with energy and endlessly regenerating. At this stage, refining the physical body is no longer the only focus of cultivation."

Yu Han's gaze deepened, as if piercing through the stone tower and looking towards the endless starry sky.

“From planetary level to black hole level cultivation, the core can be summed up in just two words: ‘spirit’.”

What you need to do is to cultivate your spiritual power to understand, interfere with, and even control that spiritual realm known as 'subspace'.

The ultimate goal is to evolve the psionic core within you into a 'singularity' that possesses an indestructible projection in both the material universe and the subspace spiritual realm.

During this process, your physical life level will be influenced by the spiritual realm and continuously improved. For example, when cultivating the Canaan Tower, your physical characteristics will resemble a heavy ancient tower, making you far stronger than an ordinary planetary-level expert.

At the same time, your spiritual level will continuously transform during this process.

Qin Feng listened intently, imprinting every word of his mentor into his mind.

This is precisely the knowledge he currently lacks most; a magnificent picture of spiritual practice is slowly unfolding before him.

"The planetary level marks the beginning of this new phase."

The main practice at this level is to accumulate and purify your spiritual power.

The introductory chapter of the Canaanite Bible discusses this in detail. It divides the accumulation of planetary-level spiritual power into five distinct stages, which it calls the 'Planetary Five Limits'.

"The first limit, 'droplet'. Condense your current loose mental energy into a substantial first droplet of mental energy. This is a qualitative change from nothing to something."

"The second limit is 'cup and saucer'. When the droplets of spiritual energy accumulate to a certain number, they can be gathered into a saucer, and the spiritual energy begins to have the characteristic of 'bearing'."

"The third limit is 'lake'. When the cup transforms into a lake, one's spiritual power tends to be calm and profound, and one's will becomes like a mirror, able to clearly reflect both the inner and outer worlds."

"The fourth limit, 'rivers'. The lake breaks into a river, and the spirit and will begin to have the characteristics of a ceaseless, unstoppable, and forward-moving force."

"The fifth limit is the 'Boundless Sea.' Rivers flow into the boundless sea, and spiritual power is vast, unfathomable, and limitless."

Each of these five levels of development is incredibly difficult, and with each breakthrough, the immense spiritual power will, in turn, thoroughly cleanse and elevate your physical body, making your foundation ever stronger.

"When you finally reach the 'Boundless Sea' level, your spiritual power will have reached the required level in terms of 'quantity'."

Then you can begin to try to construct your own 'immortal projection' in the subspace.

Yu Han extended a finger, and a wisp of spiritual energy condensed at his fingertip into a miniature, crystal-clear phantom tower.

"The subspace projection constructed by the Canaanite Book is a tower."

Other top-tier cultivation methods also take on different forms. Some are a world-suppressing bell, some are a heaven-opening divine sword, and some are even an eternal ark or a simple dinner plate.

Regardless of its form, its core purpose is to anchor an absolutely 'stable' coordinate within the chaotic and violent subspace.

"Among all known forms, bells, towers, rulers, mirrors, stands, tripods, and knives are the most common because of their structural stability."

"If you can successfully construct a complete projection of this tower in the subspace using your own mental power, then congratulations, you have successfully advanced to the 'stellar level'."

From this day forward, as long as your warp tower stands, you will be immortal.

Even if your physical body is completely destroyed in the material universe, your soul and spirit can rely on the subspace tower to be resurrected, reshape their body, and theoretically, life is infinite.

Qin Feng was deeply shocked.

Immortality is the ultimate temptation for any life form.

“Stellar-level cultivation is divided into two steps.”

Yu Han's voice continued, interrupting Qin Feng's thoughts, "The first step is to continue to increase the 'quantity' of your spiritual power, and continuously expand the subspace tower you built with your spiritual power until its coverage is comparable to a standard spiral arm galaxy—that is, at least 100,000 light-years."

The second step is to refine the 'quality' of spiritual power, repeatedly tempering this massive subspace star system tower until it is entirely transformed into pure gold, indestructible, and eternally immortal.

Once you complete these two steps, you will be promoted to 'galaxy-level'.

"The next step is 'compression'."

Yu Han's tone became extremely solemn, "With supreme will and spiritual power, I will compress your enormous, subspace golden galaxy spanning 100,000 light-years infinitely, ultimately transforming it into a 'black hole singularity' with infinite mass and infinitesimal volume."

If you succeed, you will be promoted to 'black hole level'.

"Black hole-level powerhouses possess their own 'singularity domain' in the subspace, which they have absolute control over."

Their mental and physical strength had reached the pinnacle of what mortals could imagine. Having reached this point…

Yu Han paused, then gave Qin Feng a deep look.

"At this point, all known traditions, whether cultivation methods, killing methods, or nurturing methods, have reached their end. There is no longer any experience from predecessors to refer to, and no cultivation method to guide you forward."

"What you need to do is, like a real black hole, to keep swallowing everything in its path."

Devour all living beings that are useful to you, devour all knowledge that is useful to you, and in endless darkness and solitude, forge your own unique path... Create your own 'Dharma'.

"When you can forge your own path and create your own laws, you can possess your own domain and break through to the 'Domain Lord' realm. The sub-commanders of the major battle groups are basically at this level."

Above that are the powerful figures recognized by the will of the universe, holding the titles of Marquis, King, and Emperor. These individuals are the backbone of the battle groups, leading thousands of troops single-handedly, and subject to the orders of the battle group's commander at the next higher level. They can be called regional governors, each possessing the strength to oversee billions of star sectors and protect a region.

"The Lord of Limits is the military leader of my Limits Battle Group. He followed the Emperor in conquering the universe in his early years and made great contributions during the Great Expedition. He is still fighting in the boundless battlefield of myriad races."

"Of the million-strong Imperial Warband, only a small portion remains in the human territory. The high-level combat power of the warbands is fighting in the battlefield of all races, becoming an inexhaustible and precious resource for the human race."

"For example, various rare alloys and precious resources can only be produced in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. This is the main reason for the endless war. There is another reason, which you will know when you arrive at the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. I can't tell you about it for now."

silence.

There was a long silence.

Yu Han's narration had ended, but the vast amount of information it contained, and the clear yet incredibly difficult path leading to the pinnacle of the universe, swept wildly through Qin Feng's mental world like a cosmic storm.

Planets, stars, galaxies, black holes... and finally, the path to creation.

An unprecedented and magnificent panorama of martial arts unfolded before his eyes.

That grand blueprint for cultivation, spanning from planetary to black hole levels, slowly settled in Qin Feng's spiritual world.

Each description of a realm is like a star that has been lit up, illuminating the fog ahead.

However, as these stars came together to form a dazzling star map, a huge and deadly shadow also appeared in his mind.

That realm, known as "subspace," was, in his past understanding, synonymous with chaos, depravity, and evil.

The fall of Shidang and the madness of the Khorne followers filled him with the deepest vigilance towards that spiritual realm called the Subspace.

But now, his mentor tells him that the foundation of the entire path to heaven for human martial artists, starting from the planetary level, is actually built upon this perilous realm.

This is tantamount to building one's own temple next to a dragon's lair.

Qin Feng frowned, his doubts and unease almost overflowing.

He raised his head, looked directly into Yu Han's deep eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Mentor, I have a question. In the subspace, aren't there the legendary Four Evil Gods? I have come into contact with Khorne's followers and have also learned about the existence of the other three from ancient texts."

Not to mention, there are countless alien gods, like the "Second Brother Gomao" worshipped by the Greenskins, and the divine wills of other top races in the universe, all of whom may wander in the warp.

His voice paused, his tone becoming more serious: "Our path of cultivation relies entirely on constructing our own domain in the subspace. Isn't that... a bit too dangerous? Once these beings set their sights on us, wouldn't our 'subspace singularity' become something they can destroy at will?"

Yu Han listened quietly to Qin Feng's question, without the slightest surprise on his face.

This is a question that any powerful person who comes into contact with the truth of the universe for the first time will inevitably have.

After Qin Feng finished asking the question, his previously calm expression instantly became extremely serious.

"You've hit the nail on the head."

Yu Han's voice deepened, "This is also the fundamental foundation upon which the empire exists, and which allows all of us to cultivate in peace."

He slowly stood up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the top of the tower, looking towards that sacred place located outside the material universe, forever beyond the reach of the human eye—Terra, the Golden Throne.

"The emperor sits on the golden throne, unshaken for billions of years."

Yu Han's voice carried a deep reverence from the depths of his soul: "He burned his own soul to unleash supreme power, not merely to illuminate the path in subspace."

His true purpose was to single-handedly carve out a unique subspace paradise for our human race in that chaotic, filthy spiritual sea filled with evil gods and demons!
Half of the subspace was occupied by the Emperor's immense power, and he was constantly resisting attacks from countless gods..."

"In this pure land, the emperor's power is omnipresent, like the sun shining brightly, dispelling all gloom."

No alien god, no chaotic evil god, can directly enter this area.

Therefore, the singularities of all black hole-level powerhouses and the subspace projections of all stellar-level warriors are absolutely safe in this pure land.

Yu Han withdrew his gaze and looked at Qin Feng again, his eyes sharp as knives: "At most, you will only be subjected to some bewitching words or desires that have been weakened by the Emperor's power by billions of times when you are at a critical moment in your cultivation or advancement.

But for a strong and determined individual, this is nothing at all.

"..."

Qin Feng was completely stunned.

His brain seemed to stop working for a moment.

An indescribable, immense shock, like the torrent of the Big Bang, instantly shattered all his previous understanding.

Emperor.

That supreme symbol of the empire that exists only in legends, books, and propaganda.

He had always believed that it was a spiritual totem, a symbol that sustained the rule of the empire.

But now he understands that it wasn't a symbol, but a fact.

It is a fact that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years, both incredibly cruel and magnificent.

"so……"

Qin Feng's voice was somewhat hoarse as he struggled to organize his thoughts, trying to grasp the full meaning of this earth-shattering secret. "The Emperor sealed himself forever on the Golden Throne, burning himself and enduring endless pain... all to ensure that our human race's path of cultivation could proceed unimpeded, and to ensure that our human race could continuously produce black hole-level powerhouses?"

"Yes, it is like that."

Yu Han nodded, his tone filled with endless emotion and respect.

"This is why we, and all the true high-ranking officials of the Empire, hold the Emperor in such high esteem."

Because everything he did was without any selfish motives; he had no self in mind, only the continuation of his entire race.

For this, he has paid the price of billions of years of freedom, and eternal torment…

Yu Han sighed deeply: "If it weren't for this pure land created by the Emperor, the path of martial arts for our human race would be limited to the planetary level."

Faced with those supreme races who are born with the ability to traverse the warp, faced with those chaotic evil gods who feed on souls, we would only be lambs to the slaughter, long since perished in the annals of history.

"Where would it be like now?"

Yu Han's lips curled into a ruthless smile. "When we're at full power, the Empire has countless black hole-level powerhouses advancing every year. Whether it's the mechanical race's creation legion or the Zerg's endless tide, their rate of troop production can't keep up with the rate at which our powerhouses are born!"

In the eyes of the top races in the universe, our human race is the largest and most capable of producing massive armies. It's no exaggeration to say that we can produce a top-tier battle group every few hundred years; it's just that we're limited by organizational structure and can't expand the number of battle groups, but our scale is constantly growing.

Qin Feng fell silent.

The shock he felt at uncovering the truth of the universe was gradually transforming into an indescribable sense of profound respect.

That is the purest respect for a supreme being who, for the sake of the continuation of the race, was willing to sacrifice himself and endure eternal solitude.

However, new confusions also arose.

"tutor,"

He spoke again, his tone tinged with confusion, "If the Emperor is so great, then why... why would there be powerful figures within the Empire who choose to betray him? I've even seen many people using the Emperor's name to spread religion throughout the Empire, fooling the people and engaging in despicable acts?"

"This is normal."

Yu Han's answer was calm and realistic, as if he were talking about something that was perfectly ordinary.

"The black hole level is not the end of cultivation. To forge your own path and create your own 'method' is far more difficult than you can imagine."

Not all martial artists who advance to the Black Hole level have the talent and perseverance to forge an unprecedented path.

At the same time, the higher the level, the more intense and brutal the competition for resources becomes.

"In the eyes of an emperor, there is no interest in any one person, only the gain or loss of the entire race."

His brilliance shines equally upon every human being.

Therefore, there will always be some vested interests who, due to personal gains and losses, or because their ambitions cannot be satisfied, choose to defect, and even turn around to smear and insult the emperor, attempting to undermine the order he established.

Upon hearing this, a cold killing intent flashed in Qin Feng's eyes.

"Deserves to be killed!"

He uttered those two words almost subconsciously, simply and directly, without the slightest hesitation.

Upon hearing Qin Feng's undisguised killing intent, Yu Han was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, his laughter filled with unbridled joy.

"Hahahaha! Well said!"

He patted Qin Feng on the shoulder heavily, his eyes full of approval.

"Yes, he deserves to die!"
