The breakthrough in cultivation did not significantly impact Qin Hao’s life; after returning to Star Palace, the biggest change was that he dedicated more time to cultivation.
Having fully comprehended the Time Law, many Fusion Laws saw further progress, and Qin Hao began a new round of transformation, with various Fusion Laws constantly emerging in his mind and being calculated within his sea of consciousness.
However, the most important comprehension was the “Eight Tribulation Lifeform” that Qin Hao obtained from checking in after becoming a Universe Lord. The “Eight Tribulation Lifeform” is not just a cultivation method, but a complete inheritance; even a simple introduction reveals its uniqueness.
The first tribulation of the “Eight Tribulation Lifeform” requires separate cultivation of ‘Life Spirituality,’ ‘Source of Life,’ and ‘Life Body.’ Only after all three lines are perfected can one proceed to the ‘First Tribulation’ cultivation. The difficulty of cultivation is immense. Once the first tribulation of the ‘Eight Tribulation Lifeform’ is completed, every bit of one’s power will contain consciousness, allowing for easy manifestation of clones. One’s body will be like a vast world, possessing boundless strength and being unshakeable. Furthermore, one’s vitality will be inexhaustible.”
Even the visible part of it is an inheritance reaching the God King Level. The cultivation method for the Life Spirituality line that Qin Hao merely saw, with its various applications, secret methods, and profound mysteries, was something he could only understand a very small portion of, even after becoming a Universe Lord and comprehending numerous laws.
Qin Hao even sensed the obscure aura he had previously detected within the Yan God Clan, but the aura within the “Eight Tribulation Lifeform” was even more abstruse.
Although he was unsure of the exact origin of this inheritance, Qin Hao guessed that even on the Origin Continent, it should be a relatively profound inheritance. A cultivation inheritance reaching the God King Level, or even higher, was still too distant for the current Qin Hao.
At this stage, for Qin Hao, the most important aspects were still law cultivation and the God Power Route; completing these two foundations was paramount. After all, while the path of a God King is important, it is built upon these foundations. The comprehension of the Great Dao is also built upon the cultivation of laws.
Moreover, Qin Hao’s current will strength already exceeds that of a Universe Lord, and is extremely high even among True Gods, even approaching the level of a Void True God. However, compared to the vast inheritance, it is still very small. Without sufficient will strength and power, the inheritance would not be a good medicine for him, but rather a poison.
Collecting his thoughts, Qin Hao shifted his attention away from the “Eight Tribulation Lifeform.” As Qin Hao withdrew his soul’s power from the investigation, the spiritual light of the “Eight Tribulation Lifeform” began to shoot towards the depths of his sea of consciousness, as if something was attracting it.
Seeing this phenomenon, Qin Hao followed the spiritual light, passing through the contemplated celestial stars, and entering the core of the grand formation. Before a massive scroll, the spiritual light transformed from the “Eight Tribulation Lifeform” gradually stopped, resting in front of the scroll, constantly flickering, like a devout worshiper.
Witnessing this phenomenon, Qin Hao’s heart stirred. The scroll before him was the foundation of Qin Hao’s will and soul cultivation, as well as the source of his inspiration—the scroll transformed from the Nuwa Diagram Contemplation Method.
Qin Hao had observed the Nuwa divine image on the scroll countless times, but his greatest gains were in the progress of the Visualization Method itself. As for the other obscure auras, they were beyond Qin Hao’s comprehension.
Now, seeing the actions of the light spot transformed from the “Eight Tribulation Lifeform” inheritance, Qin Hao’s mind began to race. There were countless legends of Nuwa: saint, goddess, molding humans from clay, mending the heavens, and so on, all strongly connected to the Dao of Life.
It could be said that Nuwa herself was synonymous with the Dao of Life, bestowing life upon Earth and the world. In the entire grand world, no one should be able to compare to Nuwa in her comprehension of the Dao of Life.
At the same time, within Qin Hao’s divine body, a glimmering drop of light separated from his divine body and entered his sea of consciousness. A tear shimmering with Star Tears quickly appeared on the Nuwa Diagram Contemplation Method before Qin Hao’s eyes, integrating into the drawing. A hazy aura instantly permeated the entire image.
At this moment, the entire image began to change, its colors becoming vibrant, and the obscure aura becoming active. Qin Hao felt as if a cool breeze had swept through his entire sea of consciousness, as if he had awakened from a deep slumber. Even the three hundred sixty-five stars and star gods contemplated within his sea of consciousness became clearer.
Lines of laws began to intertwine before his eyes, constantly merging, constantly colliding, gradually forming streaks of misty light that enveloped the image.
And the light transformed from the “Eight Tribulation Lifeform,” nurtured by this aura, also began to become clearer, even seemingly evolving autonomously, undergoing a transformation, though the process was very slow.
Watching everything unfolding before him, Qin Hao immersed himself in these changes. Although there were many things he still couldn't comprehend, the faint aura and fluctuations of life made Qin Hao feel that his soul was also beginning to change under this aura and these fluctuations.
“The Dao of Life!” Qin Hao sensed the changes and gained a clearer understanding of everything before him. The Star Tears, the culmination of a Life God King's lifelong comprehension and cultivation; Nuwa, the master of the Dao of Life; the “Eight Tribulation Lifeform,” an inheritance of the Dao of Life—three different interpretations and collisions of the Dao of Life from different worlds were also evolving different paths of life.
It was a pity that the meteor tear had seemingly vanished directly. However, except for when he was on Earth, the meteor tear's enhancement to Qin Hao had also been weakening. As his strength increased, Qin Hao rarely found himself at a disadvantage in battles.
Now, transforming into nourishment for the Nuwa Visualization Chart, and evolving the Dao of Life within his sea of consciousness, it could be considered as paving a path for Qin Hao's future cultivation.
Although Qin Hao might not necessarily focus on the Dao of Life in the future, comprehending more Great Daos from the understanding and evolution of the Dao of Life was equally important to Qin Hao. Even if he wanted to create and walk his own Great Dao, drawing upon past references and insights was indispensable.
“Although I still cannot fully comprehend the Dao of Life, just a fleeting glimpse has made the future cultivation direction of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram much clearer,” Qin Hao remarked as he exited his sea of consciousness.
Since the last cultivation of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, Qin Hao had fallen into a bottleneck. Even the breakthrough to Universe Lord, which led to a genetic level increase, did not cause the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram to progress.
The reason for this was his insufficient comprehension and understanding of genes and life. Behind every transformation of the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram was a sublimation of life, which was originally more complex than what appeared on the surface.
In the early stages, one only needed to follow the cultivation method, but in the later stages, every advancement required a clearer understanding of the essence of cultivation.
