"This tool... to deduce a universal cultivation method that can reach the level of an ordinary Immortal King requires tens of thousands of years."
"To deduce a universal cultivation method that can reach the level of a Red Dust Immortal requires two thousand years."
"To deduce a universal cultivation method that can reach the level of a Great Emperor requires five hundred years."
Fang Ming had already fed many cultivation classics into this tool.
He didn't need a universal cultivation method that reached the Great Emperor level, as he himself was already at that level.
However, a universal cultivation method that could reach the Red Dust Immortal level after only two thousand years was something Fang Ming desperately needed!
He was confident in cultivating to the peak of the Great Emperor realm, but when it came to reversing life nine times to achieve immortality, he was unsure of which path to take, what steps to follow to become a Red Dust Immortal in nine lifetimes...
Fang Ming had no such certainty.
His previous plan was to rely on time for deduction, to grind it out with time. After all, a Red Dust Immortal was different from a Great Emperor.
Ye Tiandi, for instance, had become a Great Emperor around the age of three thousand.
But when Ye Tiandi reversed his life nine times to become a Red Dust Immortal, it was already the sixty-fourth millionth year of the Tiandi calendar. In other words, Ye Tiandi was already over sixty-four million years old when he achieved Red Dust Immortality.
The difference between three thousand years and sixty-four million years clearly illustrated the difficulty of becoming a Great Emperor versus becoming a Red Dust Immortal.
There was a vast gulf between a Great Emperor and a Red Dust Immortal.
Ordinary Great Emperors were one tier.
Peak Great Emperors were another tier.
Red Dust Immortals who had reversed their lives once or twice were yet another tier.
Red Dust Immortals who had reversed their lives seven times were known as Tiandi-level powerhouses in the Zihetian realm. Tiandi-level powerhouses were comparable to Perfect True Immortals, capable of killing an ordinary Great Emperor with a single finger.
In reality, the strength of a Tiandi-level powerhouse was far beyond this description. For example, Ye Tiandi, who had reversed his life five times, only used one finger to suppress the God-Slaying Emperor, a contemporary Great Emperor, causing him to vomit blood and sustain severe injuries. With a mere flick of his finger, he could cover the heavens.
This forced the God-Slaying Emperor to flee to the edge of the universe, a contemporary Great Emperor so terrified that he hid for the rest of his life, barely daring to show himself.
The strength of a Tiandi-level powerhouse who had reversed his life seven times was, therefore, unimaginable, far beyond that of a Great Emperor.
However, even Tiandi-level powerhouses who had reversed their lives seven times, while capable of contending with Perfect True Immortals, were not true Red Dust Immortals.
True Red Dust Immortals possessed strength beyond that of Perfect True Immortals, reaching the level of quasi-Immortal Kings.
The path of achieving immortality in nine lifetimes already transcended the strength of Perfect True Immortals and reached the level of quasi-Immortal Kings. How difficult it was, under normal circumstances, to research the method of reversing life nine times...
After all, this was the difference between three thousand years and sixty-four million years...
And the more difficult the situation in the Zihetian realm, the more it highlighted the usefulness of the Divine Deduction System. Deducing a cultivation method at the Red Dust Immortal level, reaching the quasi-Immortal King realm, only required a mere two thousand years...
"In two thousand years, I can receive this Red Dust Immortal level cultivation method."
"In ten thousand years, I can receive a cultivation method that can directly lead to the Immortal King level."
"No longer will I need to research the difference between Longevity Substance and Immortal Laws..."
Plans always change.
Fang Ming had originally intended to deduce the path to becoming a Red Dust Immortal himself, to research the connection between Longevity Substance and Immortal Laws...
After paving this path, he could even analyze the properties of Chaos Qi, thus extending the coverage and control of the Heavenly Net into the chaos...
But now, with the Zihetian system, relying on the Divine Deduction System tool, it seemed possible to overtake from a curve, advancing far beyond the Heavenly Net.
Naturally, Fang Ming chose to overtake from the curve first!
Tools were meant to be used for free.
Fang Ming, deeply influenced by technological civilizations, did not subscribe to the notion of not relying on external objects.
Having grown to his current state, how many external aids had he relied on from the system store? Was that not relying on external objects?
Absorbing the spiritual energy of the Primordial World, and Longevity Substance, was also relying on external objects!
Without the external object of Longevity Substance, Fang Ming would have long since run out of lifespan.
Without the external object of spiritual energy, Fang Ming wouldn't even be able to cultivate.
Having always relied on external objects, Fang Ming did not care about relying on them; he only cared about his Dao heart.
The Dao heart of the Zihetian system... in reality, it had merely not encountered a more powerful artifact civilization.
No matter how strong the Ten Great Ancestors, who were half a step beyond the Saint Ruins Immortal Emperor and had stepped into the Dao Sacrifice realm, theoretically, if Fang Ming produced the Chaos Opening Tribulation Decree, he could instantly kill the Ten Great Ancestors, even if the world collapsed and only he remained.
In the face of absolute, formidable power, that is, external objects created by beings in the Dao Manifestation realm...
As long as one had not reached the realm beyond Dao Sacrifice, omniscient and omnipotent, everything else was meaningless.
Absolute power was enough to crush everything.
The Dao Sacrifice realm where the Ten Great Ancestors resided could not be equated to the realm beyond Dao Sacrifice of the Three Heavenly Emperors of Saint Ruins.
Strictly speaking, Dao Sacrifice was still within the Immortal Emperor realm of Saint Ruins, merely possessing significantly more power than an Immortal Emperor.
It could be likened to the Great Perfection of the Immortal Emperor realm.
But it was not the realm beyond Dao Sacrifice, a realm of complete transcendence, omniscience, and omnipotence.
As long as one was not omniscient and omnipotent, the Dao Sacrifice realm of the Ten Great Ancestors, the Great Perfection of the Immortal Emperor realm, was merely beyond infinite multiverses, between the third and fourth layers of boxes. Facing a being in the Dao Manifestation realm whose power increased by tens of trillions of layers with a single thought...
Even just an external artifact created by them would be enough to instantly kill the Ten Great Ancestors.
This was the power of external objects.
In the face of powerful external objects, sometimes the Dao heart was useless.
Because artifacts were enough to crush the Dao heart.
Fang Ming's unhesitating use of the Divine Deduction System, this external object, to deduce a cultivation method at the Red Dust Immortal level, was precisely for this reason...
He had originally planned to spend hundreds of thousands of years researching the path to immortality in nine lifetimes, but how could that compare to cheating?
By using the tool to cheat for ten thousand years, let alone the path to Red Dust Immortality, even the path to Immortal King could be directly achieved!
"This spiritual treasure, this tool, is not bad."
Fang Ming silently gave the Divine Deduction System, this spiritual treasure, a positive review in his heart.
After dealing with the most crucial system, Fang Ming then turned his attention back to Guangchengzi, who was unconscious and had lost consciousness.
The golden finger of a transmigrator was their greatest reliance, so Fang Ming prioritized resolving his system.
As for Guangchengzi himself, after losing his system, he was merely a cultivator in the early stage of the Great Luo realm...
Such an early-stage Great Luo cultivator, if they were natives of the Primordial World, would pose no threat to Fang Ming.
If they were transmigrators, they would at most know the plot of the Primordial World, which was of no use, considering how much Fang Ming had already altered the plot.
Those transmigrators who relied on their knowledge of the plot to survive in this Primordial World, with only memories from Earth and no golden finger, would undoubtedly fail.
