Chapter 718: Chapter 654: Matter, Energy, Spirit, Space_3

After infinite energy, there is infinite spirit and will.

The spirit is immortal!

The will is eternal!

Eternal and dazzling immortality!

And beyond that...

The Void in Refining God Returning Void...

The Void!?

Is it space?

Infinite space?

"Matter, energy, spirit, space..."

Gu Jinlai had not used Qingguang, yet his mind still sparkled with Spirit Light.

After these four pillars, there is one last step, Refining Void and Unity.

The Dao!

Infinite Dao!?

No!

The notion of an infinite Dao is not quite accurate.

Harmonization!

It is harmonization, not practicing the Dao, nor transforming into the Dao.

But harmonization!

This concept should be...

Origin!

Tracing the origin of all Daos, ultimately returning to the ultimate, tracing back to the origin, and unifying with that source which has spawned all causes, all Daos, and all results.

With this thought emerging, Gu Jinlai’s divine sense became somewhat hazy.

But this haziness lasted only for a moment and he soon shook it off.

"I, who should be considered merely a cultivator on the path of ’Qi Refining and God Transformation,’ am pondering upon Refining God Returning Void and Refining Void and Unity—perhaps I’m aiming too high."

Gu Jinlai quickly collected his divine sense.

However, those thoughts gave rise to a speculation.

A speculation about the Heavenly Master System and those lives hidden within the Spirit Realm.

"The cultivation of ordinary beings begins with refining essence into energy, then from Qi Refining to Divinity Transformation, and finally Refining God Returning Void, progressing step by step. The Spirit Realm...or rather, the life forms within the Spirit Realm, do they start directly from Qi Refining and God Transformation? No, they don’t need Qi, they don’t need energy. Only the creator, in order to demonstrate their presence in the Material World, needs to utilize some energy methods to manifest in the world! The true lives of the Spirit Realm..."

Gu Jinlai’s mind burst with Spirit Light.

Refining God Returning Void!

The cultivation of true Spirit Realm life begins directly with Refining God Returning Void!

They devour countless ’Spirits,’ strengthen their own ’Spirit,’ nurturing endless ’Void,’ step by step...

Tracing the ’Dao’ from the origin point!

Gu Jinlai looked down, quietly observing the stars circulating beneath his feet.

In his eyes lay an uncontrollable awe.

His True Spirit had immediately entered the True Spirit Realm, searching for something.

"The Void!"

Gu Jinlai muttered to himself.

At this moment, he finally understood why the creator of that era and the Master Wushi, who sacrificed himself for the Dao, no matter how they searched, could never locate that terrifying existence hidden in the deepest depths of the Spirit Realm.

Because they overlooked the most crucial point, which was that the life form of the opponent was on an entirely different level than theirs.

Just like how mortals simply cannot find life forms that are entirely converted to energy.

The opponent could be the wind, the rain, the sunlight, the earth, or the sky. How can the inherent fleshy bodies of human consciousness "see" their existence?

Let’s take a True Immortal, for instance.

Fully energized, their forms are not fixed, they come together and disperse according to their will.

The reason they still maintain a human form is merely due to habit from when they were cultivators.

If a True Immortal does not deliberately condense their form, then it is a thunderstorm, a hurricane, a flame...

The terrifying existence hidden in the Spirit Realm is the same.

Without peering into the power of "Void," he can never find Its existence.

Lacking even the qualification to see It, let alone trying to drive It out, defeat It, or save the Longevity World.

Gu Jinlai let out a long breath.

He looked up, gazing at the vast and boundless cosmic starry sky: "The secrets contained in this world are like the countless stars and galaxies in the universe; the more I know, the more I can feel the vastness and magnificence of the world, and hence develop a reverence for the cosmos...Cultivators defy the heavens and compete with it, yet even if as strong as a Heavenly Immortal or Profound Immortal, what do they count for in the boundless universe? A lifespan of a thousand years? Several thousand years? Compared to the billions of years in the life of a constant star, it seems as insignificant as a grain of sand in the ocean."

The lifespan of an ordinary person doesn’t exceed one billion breaths.

In other words, in the time it takes for a single breath, countless True Immortals have experienced life, aging, sickness, and death.

What a vast difference in scale, isn’t it?

And compared to such a world, to such a universe...

Beyond reverence, Gu Jinlai couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

Thinking that one day he might have the chance to explore such a universe with its long history, to observe its transformations and progressions, Gu Jinlai felt an irresistible, slight trembling.

"Refining Essence, Qi Refining, Refining God, Returning to Void... correspond to matter, energy, spirit, space. We have completed the stage of Refining Essence and are probably in the Qi Refining Realm... that is, the energy evolution stage. This stage focuses on comprehending the mysteries of energy; achieving Mahayana is marked by converting matter into mastering infinite energy. However, the four are not entirely parallel; they are interdependent and complement each other..."

Gu Jinlai realized that his understanding of "Cultivation" had been somewhat taken for granted.

Stubbornly focusing on the Great Sun Eternal Method can certainly give him powerful combat power in a short time, but...

Just like working a job.

Even with twice, four times, ten times the effort invested in work, one can never get rich or make a class jump.

Outside of work, one must improve in other aspects, quietly amass assets, and wait for opportunity. When the opportunity arrives, perhaps one could undergo a complete Transformation, advancing to a new level.

"Other aspects..."

Gu Jinlai first glanced at the Great Sun Eternal Method: "Energy."
