First-time decryption free? A counter-decryption system!

"Getting back to the main point, System, you said I can only decipher his cultivation insights without deciphering his cultivation level, right?"

Lin Wan did not make any further jokes.

Yes, host, your essence, energy, and spirit haven't been refined to their peak yet. If you cultivate now, your foundation won't be perfect.

Leaving aside this universe, the geniuses of all realms generally hone their four dimensions to a hundred before beginning cultivation. A very few exceptional prodigies even hone them to tens of thousands, and when they finally begin cultivation, they soar to the heavens, breaking through several major realms in succession.

However, those are all exceptional cases with naturally special physical constitutions, some even born divine. My requirement for the host is that the four dimensions reach one hundred.

[Physical training for mortals is divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Beginner level training only requires strength, speed, and constitution to reach 30 to begin cultivation. Relying on such a foundation to begin cultivation already makes one a prodigy among mortals of lower races.]

[These extraordinary talents among mortals would be more than capable of cultivating even advanced or high-level immortal cultivation systems.]

The guy you just killed was one of those geniuses.

Lin Wan glanced at Fang Xiu.

How pitiful, even in death they are being used to whip their corpses.

Ignoring Lin Wan's expression, the system emitted a pleasant, youthful voice and became engrossed in its own explanation.

[Medium-level body tempering requires strength, speed, and physique to reach 60, and spirit to reach 30. Because spirit is difficult to cultivate for ordinary people, the difficulty is higher. This level of body tempering is generally the limit for mid-level major clans, and their foundation is considered upper-middle level in the entire universe.]

[Advanced body tempering requires strength, speed, and constitution to reach 90, and spirit to reach 70 or above. Even in your nascent universe, this would be considered top-tier prodigy.]

[But this isn't enough to break through the threshold of the universe. My requirement for you is ultimate body tempering, meaning all four attributes must be at least 100. Only with such a perfect foundation can one be considered a top-tier genius in the vast ocean of the universe, and it's also the threshold for cultivating the most advanced systems.]

After hearing the system's words, Lin Wan was somewhat puzzled.

"This doesn't seem too difficult. My mental state is already at 90%, it's just a matter of drinking a few bottles of medicine..."

[Ha, that's because this is a convenience bestowed upon you by the will of the universe, digitizing your methods of advancement. It's also one of the benefits of the universe's dimensional ascension, becoming a trial participant. In other universes, this would be an opportunity that's hard to come by.]

While the high-level mental enhancement potion awarded as a reward for completing the objective is valuable, it's impossible for it to strengthen your soul and body to their limits without any damage, not even considering factors like medicinal candles or foundational elements.

These are all conveniences provided by the will of the universe to the trial participants, with the aim of enabling them to create a cultivation system capable of supporting the dimensional ascension of the entire universe.

Although your nascent universe has many cultivation systems, none of them can reach the pinnacle of the universe.

Even Panzu, who chose to prove his Dao through force, though his creation of heaven and earth was very impressive, ultimately failed to perfect his cultivation system before transforming into all things.

However, it is also because of Him that the path of cultivation through force is much easier in your universe. The laws of the Great Dao favor this path, even giving rise to the principle that great force can produce miracles. All the monotonous systems ultimately revolve around this path.

Of course, that doesn't stop you from taking other paths. According to our system's understanding, prodigies are all arrogant and don't follow the old paths of their predecessors.

Lin Wan shook her head.

"Don't target me, I'm not a prodigy!"

"Since proving the truth through force is a good path and easier to follow, I won't be foolish enough to take any other path."

"After all, strength is also my philosophy. This universe is inherently based on power."

Lin Wan naturally did not believe that her comprehension, aptitude, and talent were better than Pangu's.

Pangu himself was born divine, so the path He provided must be easy to follow.

He's an idiot if he doesn't leave.

What do you mean by "Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die!"?

If you can reach Pangu, then you're really something.

There were no roads in the world originally, but as more people walk on them, they naturally become roads.

He only needs to build upon the foundations laid by his predecessors and refine his own cultivation system.

In his eyes, a good system is one that can quickly enhance combat power.

[You're actually a host who listens to advice; that's a good quality.]

Lin Wan: "Were the two seniors in front of me of bad character?"

[Hmm! They like to look down on people, they have the arrogance of a prodigy, but not the character of one. They rarely listen to me, and their strongest strength only reaches the galaxy-level combat power.]

Sometimes, I even have to resort to using a pleasant voice to coax them.

Lin Wan shrugged: "Hmm...that sounds pretty tragic."

[It's not tragic, because they're all dead!]

[While you, as the host, enjoy contradicting me, tease me, are quite immature, and even lack any sense of propriety, at least you have some self-awareness.]

Lin Wan rolled her eyes: "That's one thing, but don't use me as an example!"

"Hmm! If you can continue like this, you might be the best host I've ever mentored."

Lin Wan ignored her and touched Fang Xiu's body.

[Deciphering the target: Cultivation insights and philosophies of a cultivator at the peak of the third stage of cultivation]

[Required Decryption Points: 5000]

[Has it been deciphered?]

"Decoded!"

......

After successfully deciphering the cultivation insights of the third stage peak, Lin Wan's mind was filled with many new things.

Although their combat strength has not increased, their control over power has become much more adept.

"System, do you think this might be suppressing our combat strength?"

"What would happen if I directly deciphered the fusion of cultivation techniques from several different cultivation systems?"

Lin Wan raised a question.

Each cultivation system operates differently in relation to the body. Trying to combine two systems can easily lead to qi deviation; combining three or more will result in the body exploding and death! This is something even the quantifiable will of the universe cannot alter.

"Even you can't change it?"

[This system sincerely apologizes, but the requirements for the side-effect-free fusion system you desire are far too extraordinary, beyond the capabilities of my humble system ranked 33,800th in the myriad realms.]

"How many people are needed to achieve this?"

This isn't about the number of rankings; it's about... a losing proposition, you know? What isn't yours will never be yours in the end!

"It's quite profound. Sorry... I've read too many wish-fulfillment novels and become a bit mentally challenged. Anyway, I'm quite happy using this system of yours now."

Good to know!

That's why I suggest this path of creating a system. You need to combine their insights from spiritual practice with your own beliefs to create one that best suits you.

Once you truly create your own cultivation system, using it as a crucible, then you won't encounter this problem when deciphering other people's systems. At that time, everything will become your nourishment.

A towering building rises from the ground; host, keep up the good work!

"You've got a good way with words, huh? You're aiming to become a supreme being!"

Lin Wan complained.

I do not recite poetry.

Lin Wan:......

He seriously underestimated the system's human touch, as if a living, breathing person were in his mind.

He shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

Suddenly remembering that he hadn't claimed the target settlement reward yet, he turned to look at the talent panel.

The objective "Slay the man in black robes" has been completed, and the reward has been paid.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Mortal-grade Forbidden Stone *1]

"What exactly is the Forbidden Stone?"

Lin Wan was somewhat puzzled, so she immediately materialized it.

[Mortal Forbidden Stone]

[Introduction: Divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Spirit, and Mortal, each level has the function of improving one's aptitude.]

[Effect: Regardless of the talent system, as long as the aptitude is still below the planetary-level combat power cap, the current talent system's aptitude can be raised by one level.]
