Starting with Growing Mushrooms-Chapter 481 - 377: The Proud Surya
On the outskirts of a town.
The Celestial Soldiers and Generals completely encircled it heavily.
The remnants of the Top Ten Companies have regrouped under the command of the Great Black Heaven over the years, once again centering on the Magical Treasure system, and vigorously developing commerce.
Their minions are spread across various industries.
Magical Treasures are also divided into various types.
Life Magical Artifacts, Flying Magical Treasures, Imprisoning Formations, Protective Armor...
The Rehe River Diagram in front of them is one of them.
It is a formation specially designed to imprison heaven and earth with the help of the Space Divine Object.
"Space and parallelism are twin brothers. This time, we will learn from the lesson and will definitely not let this person slip away again!"
"Take action!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the strongmen of the Top Ten Companies took action one after another.
Space instantly solidified like a quagmire, making it difficult to move an inch, as if carrying a huge Divine Mountain on their shoulders.
Seeing this, Surya frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
"The Top Ten Companies of this world, huh? Indeed well-trained, with a mature management and cultivation system."
"Now I am a mortal, without a Divine Object on me, nor top-notch equipment at hand."
"As a mere white-clad, dealing with these three thousand robust gold-armored Celestial Soldiers would have been tricky if it were before."
"However, now no longer relying on Divine Objects, and having learned the Taoist Natural method, just put on a few Magical Treasures with over 85% compatibility..."
"Might as well use them for practice once again."
With that, Surya stepped forward, conjuring a Magic Staff in his hand.
Even without the wisdom deity nature, as a mortal he remains a supreme all-knowing and all-powerful great Mage.
The Wisdom Divine Object can be lost, but the vast foundation he has cultivated with wisdom will not slip away.
Buzz——
A sudden slash of the palm.
The air suddenly became oppressive, giving the feeling of calm before a storm.
"Open." Surya waved his hand, and the space trembled violently, initiating a battle that left countless people in despair and shock.
"Space, how did he break through space?"
As everyone was filled with doubt, Surya stepped forward methodically.
Waving his Magic Staff. "Let there be water flow."
So the water flow began to inundate this formation.
"Let there be fire."
And then fire appeared.
As if showing off, the moves bloomed like lotus flowers, and Surya, the white-robed great Mage, wielded the staff as if dancing in a flower-bed of thorns.
"Wait, he’s not just using water and fire, but also space, evolution, fate... how is that possible?"
"He doesn’t have any corresponding Divine Power in him!"
"Could it be that this mortal is using Telekinesis to pry into these laws?"
In less than half an hour.
The entire army was wiped out completely.
Whether they were Martial Dao masters, formation masters, or their newly developed God-slaying Immortal-vanquishing Cannons, everything was turned to ashes.
The battlefield was also melted into magma.
Leaving only a group of onlookers who came upon hearing, all stupefied and looking terrified.
The power displayed by Surya has already surpassed everyone’s imagination, even overturning their worldview.
After a long while, people shouted:
"How can a mortal... be so powerful?"
"A mortal without any Divine Power reserves, how can he use the power of the Divine?"
All the Martial Dao top experts who came upon hearing this scene were shocked.
And an even more shocking scene appeared.
Looking at the ruins of the battlefield, Surya waved his hand,
"Sky, water flow, flowers and soil, return to your original place."
The next moment, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.
This tone, is he a God from another world invading ours?
But he is a mortal now.
He can no longer speak and have it come true; things won’t step out and shout: All as you wish.
Just as everyone thought that the God who had fallen to being mortal made a joke.
However, a scene that left them dumbfounded appeared.
The soil began to refill.
Flowers began to sprout and grow again.
Water vapor condensed into rivers flowing back into the area.
This area, everything has returned to its original state.
"How is this possible?!!"
"Speak and it becomes law, though he has already fallen to a mortal, how is he still the omniscient and omnipotent supreme one?"
...
On the other side.
The Great Black Heaven sensed the astonishing aura emanating from the front lines and asked the strategy department beside him:
"What happened?"
A middle-aged lady from the strategy department quickly got the news through a stray-shaped Magical Artifact called the Monitor:
"The hunter unit found Mogan Nan and went after him, but they have lost contact at present."
The Great Black Heaven was silent for a while, "You’re telling me, this dreadful aura is from Mogan Nan?"
"You’ve got the wrong person."
"No need to watch, they must be dead by now, no one survived."
"Was this time-traveler Mogan Nan? Then who could it be?"
The order to hunt Mogan Nan was given by him.
After all, Mogan Nan had no combat power and would not cause damage.
If successful.
Gaining the Divine Power of "crossing the multidimensional Divine Era," they could leave this sealed world.
Soon, the Great Black Heaven began to focus on the battle, collecting vast amounts of data:
"This kind of omniscient and omnipotent power? Such a wide-ranging strike, no doubt he is the God."
A female ape suddenly appeared beside him, covered in fur, yet with a sleek slender figure, like a fabulous woman in a fur coat,
"Just don’t know which area’s God he is."
The Great Black Heaven said indifferently: "Judging by this style, it might be that legendary Surya."
"You’re saying he crossed over?" The female ape laughed: "An ancient mythology from the pinnacle of the Magic Era, came to our Immortal Path world?"
"Yes."
The Great Black Heaven analyzed: "You fear disorder in all under heaven, this is probably what you want to see, the almighty Magic God invading Immortal myth."
"Got married, had a daughter, but still doesn’t know how to restrain himself."
The Great Black Heaven glanced coldly at the female ape:
"Mogan Nan discovered our world, was chased by us, and then went back to file a complaint, the Gods got angry, Surya took the opportunity to come and find his place, this logic is not flawed."
The Great Black Heaven envisioned theoretically the most reasonable process.
"Indeed."
The female ape said, "Shall we initiate the Surya Capture Plan? He is merely a mortal now."
"Huh? Mortal?"
The Great Black Heaven did not argue, "Female ape, if you want to join the excitement, just send your husband."
"You must know, this mortal once challenged deities in a mortal body and fought against the true God!"
"The most critical issue is..."
The Great Black Heaven gave the other party a deep look, "He has displayed an entirely new ability capable of overturning the world and shocking it."
"Without using Divine Power, he achieved effects equivalent to it."
A deep puzzlement lingered in everyone’s minds:
"How did he do it?"
They began analyzing data rapidly, using a new super academic computer to analyze various logical possibilities and search for details.
Half a day later.
Another figure arrived.
The Pure Yang True Immortal obviously got the news and came here to seek answers:
"You are truly crazy! Why do you always want to provoke the Divine Spirit? Previously ambushing Mogan Nan, and now causing trouble?"
The Great Black Heaven sneered, "It’s always been like this in the struggle of the Immortal Path!"
How can you cultivate immortality without striving and competing?
You, the Longevity Seeker, appear not to strive or compete, but is it truly so?
You’re just more stable in your pursuit, not causing trouble easily.
Xu Changsheng shook his head, "I completely understand the matter now, and I roughly know how the other party achieved this."
The Great Black Heaven asked, "How was it done?"
"If I’m not mistaken, he is attempting to step into the Eighth Tier," Xu Changsheng honestly stated.
The Great Black Heaven asked, "Eighth Tier? The path has appeared? Is it because the multidimensional worlds over there iterated more than thirty times and the clues finally appeared?"
Xu Changsheng said:
"Simply put, breaking through the Seventh Tier is breaking and adding chains to one’s body."
"To break through the Eighth Tier, one must cultivate these chains, accumulating and adding a few more locks."
"In the World of Gods, the Seventh Tier involves three locks: time, space, and self, so their tier can use Telekinesis to mildly pry open time, space, and self...."
The Great Black Heaven instantly realized.
Adding a lock allows one to use Telekinesis to lightly move a fundamental law?
Their Immortal Path Seventh Tier is different from the Divine Path Seventh Tier nearby.
The locks added by them include four: essence, energy, spirit, emotions.
With these four basic elements as the foundation of the body, the life of their Immortal Path naturally possesses strong essence, energy, and spirit.
And then advanced to cultivate the Immortal Path.
The Great Black Heaven hesitated, "The foundational locks of our two civilizations focus on different aspects, and to break through the Eighth Tier is to constantly add lock after lock?"
Xu Changsheng nodded, "If I’m not wrong, Surya has added a few new locks to himself: fate, mystery..."
The Great Black Heaven was momentarily stunned.
So, can the other party gently manipulate the power in these areas?
This isn’t Divine Power; is this the interference of fundamental laws through Telekinesis based on Basic White Value?
Belonging to the pure mortal path of cultivation?
Xu Changsheng calmly said, "I suspect Surya discovered this realm only after coming to our place."
"Why?" the female ape asked.
"Because of compatibility."
"To cultivate other chains, you need a corresponding strong compatibility," Xu Changsheng said.
The compatibility of a Divine Object is like spiritual roots.
For instance, with a fire-type spiritual root, a fire-type compatibility of 100 allows you to quickly cultivate the foundational knowledge in the fire domain.
Yet, although Surya previously possessed world-shocking wisdom, he lacked the corresponding "spiritual root."
It’s likely that coming here and equipping various Magical Treasure spiritual roots produced an all-encompassing transformation.
Spiritual root threshold + world-shocking wisdom.
Thus, he quickly locked himself up.
This reflects prior suspicions that the God instead encountered epic enhancement due to the equipment adding various inherited compatibilities.
The Great Black Heaven listened in a daze, "So that’s it. Thank goodness for the God of Merchants, or else without corresponding abilities, the Eighth Tier would be so despairing!"
Being very clever, he instantly realized the difficulty.
Everyone’s compatibility varies.
You might be a 100-compatible genius in one aspect, and, elsewhere, a 15-compatible mediocre talent.
How do you cultivate?
Compatibility is the qualification of spiritual roots.
If your spiritual root is so poor, how many years down the road can you add other locks in cultivation?
Despair.
Utter despair.
In this world, hardly anyone possesses comprehensive aptitude.
Forcing cultivation with 5 compatibility points, how long will it take to succeed?
A breakdown to witness.
Thanks to the God of Merchants for bestowing them with various innate Divine Object capabilities, creating artificial talent, and enabling them to add various chains to themselves!
Having received all this information, the excited Great Black Heaven didn’t even care about the loss of an elite troop,
"It seems all previous Seventh Tier cultivation was wasted! Cultivating the chains for each law is the correct Seventh Tier path!"
After all, it is.
The neighboring Age of Gods had only recently entered the Seventh Tier period.
Only now is the proper cultivation path for the Seventh Tier fully found, advancing oneself to break through the Eighth Tier.
But, like Sixth and Seventh Tier.
Cultivating the chains is probably just a prerequisite foundational condition for breaking through.
What’s the maximum number of chains?
After cultivating the chains, how to completely break through?
Do you integrate the chains or unlock them together?
Will there be life-threatening dangers or various challenges?
Cultivating the chains is merely the true threshold for advancing in the Seventh Tier.
"However, Surya must have just realized this point, why would he so generously reveal it to us?"
Pure Yang Immortal Venerable Xu Changsheng smiled slightly, a complex look flashing across his face, gazing in the direction where Surya disappeared.
"Because he is an immensely proud God."
The Great Black Heaven sighed upon hearing this, silently observing the mysterious figure captured by the projection Magical Treasure,
"Surya..."
"He disdains hiding."
The pride of Surya is known to all.
In those days, during the divine civil war with the God Li Wei, he exuberantly displayed that point.
