this infinite world

"… skipping classes?"

"Well, we've discussed this before, right? The three necessary characteristics to reach the advanced level of the fourth stage."

Seeing that Zheng Zha was a little confused, Yang Yun took the initiative to explain: "The subtle depth, the intensity of the light of the soul, and the nature of genes."

"The subtle depth. We realized the secret when we merged with the will of the world. And in the battle with Feimian, our bodies have completely absorbed this realm."

Zheng Zha counted on his fingers and said, "The essence of the gene should be related to the mythological gene, or the ability to comprehend the four elements. You are one step ahead of me in this. But in terms of the intensity of the light of the soul..."

"When there is no external matter in the Qi, the spiritual light can reach a thousand feet high." Zheng Zha still clearly remembered what Yang Yun said at that time, and he suddenly realized a blind spot: "Wait, although there is a gap in the intensity of our spiritual light, it is definitely not that big, so are you..."

"That's right. I use the light of my heart to contain the will of the three worlds."

As he spoke to everyone's surprise, a green light appeared again behind Yang Yun. As he looked at the members of the Zhongzhou team who were listening attentively, something suddenly occurred to him.

Even if we leave aside Yang Yun, Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan, the three strongest men who are fighting head-on, the fighting power of the remaining members of the Zhongzhou team has reached a shocking level.

Zhao Yingkong had already firmly stood at the fourth-order intermediate level in The Legend of Sword and Fairy. Holding the Yama Blade, no one dared to challenge him. Luo Gandao was not far behind. Relying on his amazing potential and the awakening brought about by the sacrifice of his teammates, he was infinitely close to the fourth-order intermediate level. And after experiencing a cycle of life and death, Zhan Lan would be reborn from the ashes like a phoenix, and leap to the fourth-order intermediate level.

Qi Tengyi is on the path of cultivation. His calculation ability is extremely strong and his cultivation has reached a certain critical point. He is only one step away from condensing the golden elixir to achieve a qualitative leap. In the future, he will have the non-face path of Chu Xuanxingnu as a reference, so his future is bright.

As a martial artist, Cheng Xiao not only built the foundation of internal force to transform it into true essence, but also condensed his Dou Qi into Dou Yuan. Except for not having the "power of space", it is unknown whether his corresponding level in "Fights Break Sphere" is Dou Zong or Dou Zun. He also achieved the leap of one plus one being greater than two through the principle of Tai Chi mutual generation. Even without the gene lock, his power is roughly equivalent to that of the fourth level.

Even after Zero Point had gone through this calculation in which he devoted himself to death, his brain and magic circuits had undergone a profound transformation under the extreme operation. Although it is not known whether it can be called an alternative foundation building, both the energy level flowing in the magic circuits and the subtle ability have reached the corresponding level.

As for Zhang Heng? He was the Zhongzhou member that Yang Yun was least worried about falling behind. After Zheng Zha was able to move planets at the level of the fourth order, it would be considered a positive move if he didn't suddenly turn on the game and use Hou Yi's real body as normal, or exchange it for the telekinetic floating cannon.

In addition, there is Luo Yinglong who has not yet been resurrected. Holding the Fuxi Sword, he is equivalent to a fourth-level intermediate warrior... In general, the Zhongzhou team can now truly be regarded as "fourth-level combat power per capita." This combat power is genuine, unlike Adam's God Team which is mixed with a lot of water.

But all the members were at level 4, which meant that there was a lack of reference for the road ahead. As the only one at level 4 in the team, the task of pointing out the way forward for his teammates naturally fell on Yang Yun.

"Cough cough..."

Although he had taught Qionghua disciples about cultivation in the Xianjian world, Yang Yun could not put on any teacher's airs in front of his companions who he had been with day and night. "I have said before that the fourth-order advanced macroscopic path is to cover the outside world from virtual to real, to replace the laws of heaven and earth with one's own spiritual light, and to get closer to the origin of the world. In the conventional sense, it is to evolve a world with one's own way, and evolve the spiritual light into a field that is similar to an independent small world."

Yang Yun first "reviewed the old" and repeated the knowledge that everyone had heard once, and then turned to "learn the new" and said: "This process is actually to enhance the light of one's own mind until one can "carve" one's own way on the plane, and finally leave one's own traces and imprints on the plane's fetal membrane, or it can be called the prototype of the holy way."

"Isn't that equivalent to invading and plundering planes?" Luo Gandao asked doubtfully. He had just lost his comrades in the battle with Honghuang Heaven, and he hated the whole family. Naturally, he had no good feelings towards such plundering behavior.

"Indeed, the strong use their own spiritual light to forcibly rewrite the plane rules and plunder the plane source energy for their own use. This is undoubtedly a violent conquest. For the Honghuang Heavenly Court and our Samsara team, who can travel through planes at will, this is also the most in line with their own interests... However, this situation is not mainstream."

Yang Yun first affirmed Luo Gandao's understanding, but then shook his head and explained: "Don't forget, this multiverse is mostly about the countless living beings who live in the planes and coexist with them. The interests of these powerful people are often consistent with the interests of the plane as a whole. If they imprint their own spiritual light on the plane, unless it is in conflict with the origin of the plane or destroys negative laws such as destruction, it is actually equivalent to using their own spiritual light to expand the plane laws and make them more complete. The plane will be promoted as a result."

"That's right. Many planes will even actively seek this kind of promotion, turning part of the plane's rules into authority and divinity to grant to the strong, making them the guardians and gods of the plane." Qi Tengyi added: "For example, the gods who were cultivated and canonized in the Xianjian world are like this. Although they have obtained the authority of gods, they have also become part of the operation of the way of heaven. This is not plunder, but rather a merit to make up for the merits of heaven and earth."

"In addition, there are many demonic planes whose plane laws themselves are personified and become gods that govern the natural phenomena and laws of the planes. They are born as tentacles created by the plane consciousness consuming resources." Lingdian also combined his own knowledge and the relevant information mentioned by Qi Tengyi in his lectures and added: "The reason why the plane consciousness does this must be because it is beneficial to itself."

"Well, of course, the fourth level of the gene lock system is definitely much freer than the innate and acquired gods."

Yang Yun added on the basis of Qi Tengyi and Zero Point: "But whether it is the divine system or the gene lock, until this stage, it must rely on the energy from the plane itself. Unless it can draw energy from the vacuum field deeper than the plane, once it is exiled to the void between planes, it will be like humans below the fourth level falling into the universe. "Suffocation"... And this is the role of the microscopic road."

After several twists and turns, Yang Yun went back to the original topic: "I said before that the microscopic road is to use the ability of microscopicity to continuously go deeper into the microscopic world and get closer to the origin of the bottom layer of the world. This is actually not accurate enough. Whether it is observing energy flow or causal lines, it is actually just an introduction. The real purpose of this road is to rely on the power of microscopicity and use the characteristics of all dimensions in the microscopic world being entangled with each other to explore deeper and higher dimensions than the plane."

"A realm deeper than the surface of the plane..."

As a cultivator of space, Lingdian is no stranger to similar concepts: "According to the theory of Plane Physics, the surface of the plane is three-dimensional, and the multiverse base is high-dimensional. According to the string theory of our world, the multiverse may be eleven-dimensional or even higher."

"Perhaps the difference between the high-magic plane and the low-magic plane lies in how high a dimension the plane can link to." Qi Teng nodded: "For example, the Xianjian world has five saints inside, which means that the connection between its plane surface and the multi-dimensional base is extremely profound." "For example, your 'Light Wind'?" Zheng Zha said suddenly.

“It’s one of the ways to understand the world.” Yang Yun did not deny it: “It’s also the difference between immortals and mortals in looking at the world. But the key to my breakthrough to the advanced level of the fourth stage still lies in the help of the world’s will.”

"So, you took a shortcut by absorbing the entire world into your inner space."

Hearing this, Zheng Zha had completely understood: "I was wondering, how could you do that before? It turns out that it wasn't just your own strength, but also the help of the world's will..."

"Well, it's much better to renovate a house than to build a foundation from scratch."

Yang Yun shrugged his shoulders. "Although due to the size of the plane, I may lose to a strong man who has truly covered a plane the size of the solar system with his spiritual light in terms of total energy, but a three-core drive is always faster than a single-core drive... However, this method is closely related to my spiritual light 'Jianmu', and there is no way to replicate it on others."

Jianmu, although made of energy, can be transformed between reality and illusion, and possesses a wonderful spiritual light with spatial attributes. As Yang Yun continues to grow stronger, this "Jianmu" can even open up a world independently, or even accommodate an entire planet... In this way, it is somewhat similar to the world tree Yggdrasil in Norse mythology.

"So that's why you said you were skipping classes, right? I know this is a characteristic of your inner light, but you sound like you deserve a beating."

Seeing Yang Yun's calm tone with a hint of complacency, Zheng Zha couldn't help but gnashing his teeth. Obviously, everyone broke through to the fourth-order intermediate level at the same time, and everyone was facing the same non-face, but why was it Yang Yun who broke through, and not himself...

...Well, my fist is hard.

"Ahem... Although you, Zheng Zha, can't replicate my path, I still have some ideas."

Seeing Zheng Zha's face full of envy, jealousy and hatred, Yang Yun quickly restrained his expression and said, "As long as you recall our battle with Feimian, you will know that I reproduced the infinite combat system through the power of miracles. This is to simulate the cultivator's natal formation to achieve the macro path of 'evolving one world'. And using the light of the mind to drive oneself to obtain super computing power and perception to observe the microscopic world is also to imitate the cultivator's Yuanshen to achieve the microscopic path."

"And Zheng Zha, you can also use your own spiritual light, 'Heavenly Dragon', to sublimate your vision, thereby promoting the observation of the microscopic world, and in the process constantly comprehending the characteristics of the mythological gene... Speaking of which, you are not even at the fourth level, but you already have 'Zhu Jiuyin' representing time and 'Ouroboros' representing space in your body. How come?"

"This..."

Listening to Yang Yun's complaints, Zheng Zha scratched his head. Although he still didn't remember the herbal slime or the specific conversation in the gene bank, he still roughly described it with his vague memory: "I remember saying that mythical creatures are all powerful beings who have walked their own unique paths in the multiverse, which is equivalent to the manifestation of multiverse laws and authority. Even if they die, their legends and holy ways still exist in the multiverse... So, I probably set foot on their path through corresponding resonance?"

"It is precisely because these genes involve such advanced fields that even I can only use the power of these mythical genes for a short period of time."

The more Zheng Zha spoke, the clearer his thoughts became: "If you want to improve, you need to thoroughly refine your genes for your own use. At that time, the 'perfect body' will be sublimated into a 'mythical body', and you can borrow the power of the corresponding laws anytime and anywhere. This is the fourth level reached through the 'genetic road'. Isn't it easy?"

"No, you're the only one who thinks this is easy... you're so awesome."

This time it was Yang Yun's turn to complain about Zheng Zha's "Versailles": "Compared to me, you are not skipping class, you are cheating, right?"

"Oh, it's not that strong..."

"So, how do real cultivators do it?"

As the two switched positions, Qi Tengyi suddenly asked. He was naturally more interested in this question than Zheng Zha's genetic path.

"I'll answer that for you."

This time it was Chu Xuan's turn to speak: "The Way of Immortals and the Gene Lock System have the same goal. They do not need to engrave their own way on the plane or the multi-dimensional base, but they also need to create a 'fairyland', that is, the 'immortal realm'."

"Those who mainly cultivate formations need to use their own spirit as the key to the formation, construct the 'natal formation', and lay down a fairyland formation that can cover an entire world. Those who mainly cultivate runes need to transform their spirit into core runes, and then deduce a virtual plane completely simulated by runes, and then turn the virtual into the real, overwriting the plane with their own Tao system to turn it into a fairyland. Those who mainly cultivate weapons need to refine an entire plane into their own natal magic weapon or simulate an innate spiritual treasure, using the magic weapon as the fairyland."

“But no matter which path you take, you must eventually use the primordial spirit, that is, the light of the soul, as the foundation to derive a world, and then use this as the foundation to connect to the deeper realms of the multiverse, and then…”

"It is to understand the most basic and most important element among the four elements."
