Chapter 196 The Drawbacks of the Unity of All Paths
Outside, people were just reveling in Fang Ping's victory over Ling Yiyi when they were told that Lu Hao had reached the sixth rank.
Who? Lu Hao?
In most people's memory, he is still that student who stood on the stage to give a speech before the Chinese New Year, followed by the announcement of the first and strongest fourth-rank martial artist.
The announcement in May also sparked a heated discussion, as they have now all broken through the sixth rank.
"Wow, this young man is so amazing! He broke through a major realm in just three months. He'll be a Grandmaster in another three months, right?"
"This kid is a genius! He breaks through a new realm every three months, unlike my son who only breaks through once a year."
"Lu Hao, awesome! I'm his classmate, I know how he succeeded. If you want his secrets, add me on 686832502..."
Most ordinary people online don't know the difficulty of cultivation; they just think it's difficult, but they don't know the true difficulty involved.
So in their eyes, Lu Hao was just a fast achiever, nothing special. At most, he was just a bit stronger in combat, so what?
In the martial arts community, this news caused a huge stir. They knew how difficult cultivation was, and yet Lu Hao had broken through to the sixth rank just like that.
Looking at his record, he's probably already an invincible sixth-rank warrior.
This shocked them immensely, and they also began to doubt whether they and Lu Hao truly practiced the same martial art.
Those with better connections had already learned from the Grandmaster that Lu Hao had not only broken through to the sixth rank, but had also manifested spiritual power.
This is quite embarrassing for a group of martial artists stuck at the peak of the sixth rank.
This also shocked those in the know. Manifesting spiritual power means that as long as he doesn't perish along the way, Lu Hao is guaranteed to become a Grandmaster.
Moreover, coupled with Lu Hao's astonishing combat power, it can be said that Lu Hao is definitely the person closest to a Grandmaster, even closer than those at the peak of the sixth rank.
Lu Hao's actions sparked a wave of interest in venturing into the underground caves. Many people wanted to try their luck like Lu Hao, hoping to find valuable items and eventually achieve great success.
On August 3rd, Lu Hao emerged from the Dharma Space. Just as he had expected, he had spent a thousand days familiarizing himself with the strength of a sixth-rank cultivator.
He gained a lot of practical experience, but the control over his internal energy that he really wanted to increase did not.
No matter how Lu Hao experimented, there was no increase whatsoever. It seemed that the upper limit of his control over Qi and blood was 90%, but Lu Hao knew that there was a way to control Qi and blood 100%.
Therefore, Lu Hao felt that it might be due to his current cultivation level. At this level, he could only reach a maximum of 90%, and the remaining 10% could only be increased by reaching a higher level or even coming into contact with the Origin Dao.
However, there is something that doesn't make sense: when Li Changsheng killed an eighth-rank official from a sixth-rank position, that sword strike must have been 100% controlled by his qi and blood. Otherwise, even a sword that has been nurtured for so many years wouldn't be able to kill an eighth-rank official.
However, it's also possible that Li Changsheng had almost no spiritual energy left, as it was all integrated into his qi and blood, which allowed him to control 100% of his qi and blood at a low level.
Should I also follow Li Changsheng's future path and pursue the unity of all paths? Although this would improve my control over qi and blood, I would no longer be able to follow the original path in the future.
Lu Hao was still very tempted by the boost from the Origin Dao. The unification of all Daos could guarantee his current combat power, but what about facing the Nine Emperors and the Heavenly Emperor in the future?
The process of unifying all paths is far too slow. In three years, the combat power would probably only reach around the seventh or eighth level at best.
Lu Hao shook his head and gave up on the idea. Although it could improve his current combat power, it would be harmful and not beneficial to his future.
If he had another ten years, he might have left, but now there isn't that much time left. He can only follow the original path, which has its flaws, but it's the fastest way to increase his combat power.
Moreover, I have room to develop my own methods. If all else fails, I can just keep pushing myself to the limit. If I still can't improve after reaching a high level, I can simply send my hand out to the outside world for a month to solve this problem.
In the context of the Dharma-Experiencing Space, that's almost a hundred years. With so much time, Lu Hao didn't believe he could be stuck on a problem of controlling Qi and Blood.
Stopping thinking about it, Lu Hao picked up his phone and called Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang. He had almost used up his kill points in August, and it was time to go down into the underground cave again.
It just so happens that the battle in the Demon City Underground Cave is still raging. I'll kill a few more Rank 6 enemies, and then I can come back and go into seclusion to break through to Rank 7.
Lu Hao tested it after entering the magic space, and it was indeed as he thought: killing points are a versatile high-quality energy that can also be used to help a sixth-rank sealing gate.
Sealing one gate requires around 30,000 kill points, meaning Lu Hao is currently just over 80,000 kill points away from sealing three gates and becoming a Grandmaster.
However, this is not how it is actually calculated. There is no problem with calculating Qi and Blood and the Gate of Life in this way, but there is a problem with calculating the Gate of Spirit in this way.
Lu Hao's spiritual power manifested ahead of schedule, so he had to pay more killing points to seal the gate, about 5, but Lu Hao did not regret it at all.
Although it's difficult to seal the gate, sealing the mental gate will greatly enhance mental strength. I estimate that once I enter the seventh rank, I can reach the middle stage of the seventh rank, which will save him a lot of time.
That's an extra 20,000 kill points, which isn't a big problem for Lu Hao. Right now, the Demon City Underground Cave is probably being retaliated against by Tianmen City.
High-grade items are unlikely to appear again, but mid-grade items will increase significantly. At that time, killing a few sixth-grade items won't be a big problem.
One hundred thousand killing points is equivalent to ten combined essence blood, which is more than ten high-level sixth-grade cultivators.
Lu Hao wouldn't kill a being with combined essence and blood as soon as he entered the arena; doing so would immediately attract the attention of high-ranking officials.
So he planned to take advantage of the chaos, first killing some low to mid-level sixth-rank soldiers, and then killing the high-level and peak soldiers when that was enough.
After all, with his manifested spiritual power, Lu Hao could kill with a single strike, unless the opponent also possessed a sixth-rank manifested spiritual power.
However, there won't be anyone like Lu Hao on the other side. They all broke through to the seventh rank when they manifested their spiritual power. There is no exception like Lu Hao. What those who have merged their essence and blood lack is that little bit of spiritual power.
"Hey? Old Wang, what's going on over there? Are you still in seclusion?"
"No problem, I broke through a few days ago and am currently getting familiar with my own condition. I'm ready to go anytime, just waiting for your news."
"Okay, let me see how things are going with Lao Qin. If there are no problems, we'll prepare to go into the fields in the next few days."
I received news from Wang Jinyang that he had just broken through to the peak of the fifth rank a few days ago. I have to say that with resources poured in, advancement is really fast. I broke through a major realm just like him.
Fortunately, they all fought their way through life and death; otherwise, even if you just poured resources into them, they would only become Qi and Blood Martial Artists.
Currently, all three have relatively stable combat strength and can fight opponents of higher levels.
After contacting Qin Fengqing, Lu Hao learned that the guy was just one step away from completing his meridian tempering, so it would take another two or three days. Lu Hao wasn't in a hurry; he could wait until Qin Fengqing broke through everything before going down to the next area.
It won't make a difference if we take a couple of days.
