Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 687 The Sixth Branch of the Soul, Hope for the Ultimate Realm

"My current strength has basically reached the limit of a semi-primordial life form, or rather, surpassed any invincible God Emperor, and is comparable to a high-level primordial life form that has unleashed a trace of its power."

"Going further, perhaps only by achieving the theoretically possible integration of the four elements can we advance further."

Chen Yuan shook his head. The fusion of the four Great Daos? Unless he first becomes a world-class Chaos Origin and his computing power and comprehension surge again, he has no confidence in doing so.

Even with system assistance, it still doesn't work.

Based on the formation and manifestation of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Dao, the difficulty of the three-way fusion alone is at least ten thousand times that of the normal fusion of Daos, while the difficulty of the fusion of the four Daos is ten thousand times that of the three-way fusion!

In other words, only by increasing the comprehension, computational power, and other values ​​of a normal cultivator of the Fusion Dao by a hundred million times could one possibly master the power of the fusion of the four Daos.

Even so, according to Chen Yuan's calculations, the strength of a fusion of four and a half Chaos Origin beings is only comparable to a Mind Index of five or six thousand, which is still about half away from the bottom line of ten thousand points for a high-level Chaos Origin being.

"No wonder the higher levels of primordial chaos are described as 'breaking free from the cage.'"

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. "The gap is too big. For a half-chaotic life form to truly possess high-level chaotic strength, even five fusions might not be enough. At least six fusions would be needed to have any hope."

Six-way fusion? The difficulty is a hundred million times that of four-way fusion, and a hundred billion times that of normal fusion.

If a practitioner truly possesses this kind of enlightenment, breaking through the laws with force would be a piece of cake. Wouldn't it be better to ascend to heaven in one step?

"Fortunately, I can take a shortcut." Chen Yuan revealed a slight smile: "By embracing all paths with my mind and transforming billions of origins into mental indices, I am essentially breaking down the difficulty of the six fusions into infinitely multiple parts."

"Then, by combining the mental clone with the primordial life talent, one can quickly handle these low-difficulty analytical tasks, gradually increasing mental strength until reaching the advanced Hunyuan level."

"This is a cultivation method unique to me. Others, without the talent of a primordial life form, simply cannot learn it."

"If directly comprehending the Dao at the Hunyuan level is called 'breaking the law with force,' then my method of cultivation might be called 'proving the Dao with force!'"

Breaking the law with force is to directly grasp the Dao at the Hunyuan level, thereby ascending to heaven in one step and becoming the Lord of Hunyuan.

Chen Yuan's "proving the Dao through force" means elevating his power to a higher level of Hunyuan, forcibly breaking free from the constraints of the system.

Judging from the final result, it seems that proving the Dao by force is not as strong as breaking the law by force.

But don't forget, after Chen Yuan proved the Dao with force, he can still continue to comprehend the Dao at the Hunyuan level!

Because proving the Dao through force only elevates his divine body's power to a higher level of Chaos Origin, his own path is actually still at a semi-Chaos Origin level, and can continue to be sublimated.

"In fact, there is no limit to proving the Tao through force. As long as I have unlimited time, I can increase my spiritual index without limit, and sooner or later it will exceed ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or one million."

"Perhaps one day, even if I haven't mastered the Dao at the Chaos Origin level, my divine body will still be able to rise to the Ancestor level."

.

"Of course, that will take a long time. I still prefer to break through the laws with force and become a lord first."

"As for my divine body? It's not too late to improve it after I become a lord. As long as my mental index continues to rise, my divine body will eventually surpass any ancestral-level life form."

It should be noted that in the current endless primordial space, the progenitor level is already the highest level, which can be described as reaching the ultimate in all aspects.

Even if someone has a huge divine body, they cannot fundamentally crush life forms of the same level; they are merely more resilient.

But Chen Yuan is different. Even if he breaks through the laws with force to become the Lord of Hunyuan, as long as he has enough time, his divine body level can still continue to grow.

If his divine body were twice as strong as the other progenitors, he could crush any life form of the same level; if it were ten times stronger, he would even dare to face the combined attack of a hundred progenitors; if it were a hundred or a thousand times stronger—

Perhaps at that time, the entire Hunyuan Space will revere him.

"This is the power of the mind," Chen Yuan said quietly, then sighed. "It's a pity that, let alone the Dao at the Hunyuan level, my Dao of the Mind is still not complete in terms of branches, and in essence it still belongs to the second level of the Dao."

Of course, the strength of his spiritual path is now linked to his spiritual index. As long as he completes the branches, this path will immediately transform into a semi-primordial level.

"Speaking of which, my willpower has been stuck at the limit of the God Emperor for a long time, and I haven't been able to find an opportunity to break free from this cage. Could it also be related to the incompleteness of the Great Dao?"

Chen Yuan's current mental index is 3871, which he calls the strongest level of a semi-primordial being, but this only refers to the strength of his divine body.

His mental and physical strength has always far surpassed that of a god.

Even before his mental index broke 1,000, his mental will had already reached the limit of the semi-primordial state. If quantified by mental index, it would be 9999 points.

If he strengthens his will even a little more, his mind and will will immediately break free from their cage.

Unfortunately, this figure has not been surpassed to this day.

In the past few days, Chen Yuan had tried many methods, but none of them worked. This made him wonder if it was because he had opened up the Great Path of the Mind and integrated his mental will into the Great Path.

This form has its advantages, namely that his mental will can be elevated along with the elevation of his spiritual path.

However, the downsides are also obvious. Because the Great Dao has not yet been completed, his will is also trapped in a cage, making it difficult for him to break free.

"Alas, I still have no clue what the last branch of the path of the mind is."

Chen Yuan sighed softly; he truly hoped that the Great Dao of the Soul could be perfected.

"Alright, I can't keep looking gloomy. I should think more about the good things."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face: "For example, the fact that I found the last branch of the Soul Path."

The sixth and final branch of the Great Path of the Soul. Once this branch is perfected, he can reach the ultimate realm of the soul!

The implications of the Ultimate Soul Realm plus a semi-primordial Dao are self-evident.

It can be said that Chen Yuan has already completed half of his path to becoming a lord. Once he achieves the perfection of the Great Dao of the Mind, he will be able to directly break through the laws with force and ascend to the realm of the Hunyuan Lord!

"Speaking of which, the last branch of the Great Path of the Soul is hidden quite well, as it is not even in any source world."

Chen Yuan shook his head. To be honest, his greatest achievement over the years was not the more than two thousand innate Great Daos, but the collection of 99 soul-related Great Daos!

"The Path of the Void, the Path of Illusion, the Path of Desire, the Path of Reincarnation, the Path of Death—and the Path of the Soul, are all innate soul-related Great Paths created from the endless primordial space, totaling one hundred types."

"I never expected that I would be able to collect 99 of them from all the major source worlds."

To be honest, if he wanted, he could choose any one of these 99 soul-related Great Daos and instantly achieve the ultimate soul realm. However, Chen Yuan always had some concerns.

Because there is only one chance to reach the ultimate realm of the soul, if he chooses another path, even if he gathers all the branches of the soul path in the future, he will not be able to break through to the ultimate realm again.

If possible, he would definitely still want to reach the ultimate realm of the soul through the most orthodox path, and the Great Dao of the Soul is the only choice.

"Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I haven't even perfected the Great Dao of the Mind yet, so even if my soul breaks through first, it won't make much difference."

This was Chen Yuan's idea at the time. That's why he deliberately kept the other soul-related Great Daos from being perfected, and only collected the information first.

When his soul path truly breaks through to the ultimate realm, that will be the time for the other 99 great paths to break through as well.

"Fortunately, I finally found the last branch of the Soul Path, and not in the Source World."

Chen Yuan smiled slightly. To be honest, the sixth branch of his soul wasn't hidden very well, and it had already come to his side a long time ago.

That's right, it's the Hundred Lifetimes Book of Innate Treasures that he exchanged for in the Infinite Treasure Vault.

"I always thought that the ancestral bloodline information in the Book of a Hundred Generations contained the Great Dao of Reincarnation, but when I actually saw the complete origin of reincarnation, I realized that I was terribly wrong."

Chen Yuan shook his head. "Actually, the Great Dao contained in the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes should be the Dao of Reincarnation and Soul Fusion."

"It can only be said that it is worthy of the bloodline of the Primordial Ancestor of Hunyuan. It can even fuse with the soul-type path. The creation of the endless Hunyuan space is truly amazing."

It was because he discovered the true information about the cycle of reincarnation that he understood that the path in the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes was far more complex than the cycle of reincarnation.

After mastering the Cycle of Reincarnation, Chen Yuan used the known information to reanalyze this secret treasure. After a hundred days, he finally discovered an unfamiliar branch in the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes, which was also the sixth branch of the Great Dao of the Soul.

True Spirit Branch!
