Chapter 684 -235: Chao Tian Sect Produces No Nameless Individuals! (10k)_5

“Hmm…”

He pondered quietly, already considering whether to incorporate the Taoist Sect into his plan. He felt that this sect was well-suited for his external publicity team to build his reputation.

It would make his cultivation progress soar!

Moreover, in case of any future public opinion battles, it would prove useful. Talent is such a thing; if you keep it in reserve, you might never need it, but on the day you do, it will be the ultimate weapon!

He could even take it to the Third Grade Continent.

He didn’t know if the Third Grade Continent really existed as he had never heard any related information, but he knew that the Body Integration Realm was not the end of the Cultivation Path, so there must be a higher-grade world waiting to be explored.

When the time came, he planned to venture into this high-grade continent with his external publicity team.

What kind of hero is one who always battles alone!

Suddenly, Chen Qiu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. It had been about 80 days since he began his retreat, and he became conscious again because his cultivation had broken through—

–

Cultivation: Void Refining Fourth Level (0.1%).

–

Void Refining Fourth Level!

That meant he was now in the mid-stage of Void Refining, finally leaving the early stage behind. He felt the spiritual energy within his Dantian become more majestic, and his Nascent Soul more robust. He hadn’t yet forged his “External Body”.

Void Refining mainly has two attack methods.

One is the “Void Refining Domain,” and the other is the “External Body”.

Forging an External Body requires consuming a large amount of celestial and terrestrial treasures. By satisfying the needs of different celestial and terrestrial treasures, one can create their own External Body, ranging in grade from First Grade to Twelfth Grade.

First Grade is the weakest; Twelfth Grade is the strongest.

However, whether First Grade or Twelfth Grade, the fighting power of the External Body is the same—a feelingless flesh body with 70% of one’s own combat strength, incapable of utilizing one’s own entries, using only spiritual energy to attack.

It’s controlled by Divine Sense.

It can carry out some simple tasks from a distance. Many sects like to use it for guarding the Dao or for exploring and stepping in for their subordinates, employing the External Body for this purpose—a very useful attack method.

He himself had never seen anyone use it against him, because this thing wasn’t meant for combat at the same cultivation level.

The grade of the External Body does not affect its combat strength but affects only one thing—if you can break through to Unification, it affects the grade of your “Unification Killing Move.”

A First Grade External Body can only result in a First Grade Unification Killing Move.

And so on.

A Twelfth Grade External Body results in a Twelfth Grade Unification Killing Move.

Moreover, the Unification Killing Move is the most powerful attack method of a cultivator in the Body Integration Realm. Therefore, in Xuantian State, many who are in the Void Refining stage have an External Body that is either First Grade or Second Grade—they are reluctant to upgrade even to Third Grade, feeling that it wastes celestial and terrestrial treasures.

After all…

Many are well aware that unless a huge stroke of luck descends, they have no chance of reaching Unification.

If one has no chance of Unification, then no matter how high the grade of your External Body, it’s meaningless.

It doesn’t affect your combat strength; its only significance might just be to waste more of your celestial and terrestrial treasures unless you are truly confident that you can break through to Unification later—you should naturally create a high-grade External Body.

And to strive for Unification, an External Body is also a necessary entity.

During the breakthrough to Unification,

you need a triple fusion.

That is, the self, External Body, and Nascent Soul must unify!

He had learned about this beforehand; the primary Nascent Soul would fuse with the self, but the created Nascent Soul can still remain in the Dantian, ensuring that he could open multiple Void Refining Domains even after breaking through to Unification.

Without having to combine all Nascent Souls into one, he can still open multiple domains at the same time.

So if possible,

he actually wanted to create more small Nascent Souls before breaking through to Unification, as there would no longer be such a chance in the future—it’s a one-time thing.

But…

Time does not wait for anyone.

Only when the twelve Thrones of State are firmly secured will the celestial and terrestrial restraints between states be lifted. To secure a Throne of State, one must satisfy the condition of heavenly pride by sitting on the Throne for a full year.

That means,

At the shortest, it will take one to two years for the celestial and terrestrial restraints to be lifted.

If it’s slow, it might take three to four years. All of this remains unknown to him; he does not know the situation of Throne disputes in other states, as the Thrones’ shifts in those regions are regulated by regional imperial decrees, not an overarching Heavenly Dao Decree encompassing the entire Vast Continent.

His situation is different; he is the first, setting the standard, and thus he is publicly announced by a Heavenly Dao Decree.

And he must enter the Body Integration Realm before the state restraints are lifted.

Otherwise—

With his current Void Refining realm, trying to contend for the Unique King among a host of peak Body Integration powerhouses would indeed be exceedingly challenging and fraught with difficulties.

But once he achieves Unification, it’s a different story.

With his tactics,

once he enters Unification, he would be invincible in Unification!

Time is of the essence, but the good news is that he had been planning to look for more resources after the current batch of Spirit Stones was depleted. Now with the Taoist Sect, he could peacefully focus on his cultivation without worrying about Spirit Stones.

Nevertheless…

He couldn’t help but send a letter back to Liu Zide, cautioning him to spend carefully. He understood, and he didn’t want to interfere too much, after all, it wasn’t his strong suit, and Liu Zide certainly had his own plans.

When letting subordinates handle tasks, one must grant them sufficient authority and trust.
