Inspired by the firefly, Chu Yunsheng had a general idea about how to obtain life force.
The simplest way to obtain life force was to "eat" it.
This method was used in the natural world. Although it was cruel, it was also the most natural law of the flow of life force. From the lowest level of plants to the top of the food chain, the energy of life force was constantly flowing.
The plants, including algae, and even some archaea that ate inorganic matter as food, were the foundation of this building of life force. Even ordinary bacteria did not belong to this layer of foundation, they all belonged to the predators of life force.
Archaea and photosynthetic bacteria existed in extremely harsh environments, and they were the earliest species on the planet. Not to mention that they were extremely rare now, even if they existed, they would not be able to support the foundation of this pyramid of life force.
Therefore, the plant world was the largest producer of life force. Through photosynthesis, which Chu Yunsheng also knew, it could combine inorganic matter into active organic matter, providing a steady stream of life force for the huge biological building.
Of course, this method, or in other words, this life force method was only limited to the biological system from the original nuclear world to the true nuclear world. It might not have any effect on life forms like Old Youling and the stone-like creature in the extreme north.
This was not a secret. Not to mention the underground dwarfs, even the people on the earth had already found a way to synthesize organic matter through chemical means, such as carbamide. But so far, they could not directly use inorganic matter to produce the basic active macromolecules of life — amino acids. They could only use biological methods to synthesize biomolecules, which was called pseudo-synthesis.
Therefore, the lowest basic source of life force still came from the natural world.
If the shadow man did not tell him that the firefly was a top creature that spanned the animal and plant worlds, he would also be able to remember the birth and repair method of the firefly.
Inside the firefly, there was a strict division of labor among them. Everything was for the purpose of war, including the plundering of resources and individual reproduction.
They continuously transformed one kind of fire elemental energy into life force nutrients to nourish the constantly born firefly. This method allowed them to survive anywhere as long as there was dark energy. Only the earth, which was locked by the dark energy at that time, could not survive.
Chu Yunsheng's body was originally integrated with the essence of the firefly, and it was a level 1 Min. If it were not for his insect body, he would have died many times already.
Although he didn't have a complete life cycle system like the giant tomb of the firefly, he had the essence of the Min body. Combined with the cultivation method of the senior practitioner, he could create a suitable method to obtain life force.
In other words, his insect body had the dual characteristics of a plant and an animal. If he didn't make use of it, it would be the greatest waste.
From this, one could see how powerful and terrifying the creator of the fire bug was.
However, they probably didn't expect that they could fuse with insects, right?
Chu Yunsheng was very familiar with the insect's way of survival. The best energy to cultivate Life Force was the fire elemental body, and the worm was a type of fire elemental body that was far inferior to the fire elemental body. But he couldn't do either of these two things. Even if he could, it was not the cultivation method he wanted.
He hoped that the method to obtain life force would be the same as the real circulation system of the fire worm. It could be obtained from anywhere where there was Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
But in fact, the senior practitioner didn't mention anything about how to obtain Life Force at all, except for a single record in the ancient book.
This was also one of the reasons why he didn't study it in depth.
As early as the battle in the arctic, Chu Yunsheng already knew that the senior practitioner was worried that he might not be able to resist the temptation of a long life and start cultivating life force prematurely.
Now, Chu Yunsheng also gradually understood that as long as he had the ancient book, he didn't need to worry about the problem of insufficient life force. Once he reached Yuan Tian stage four, the ancient book would not only have the function of a contract, but it would also give him enough life force from the Divine Kingdom. The only thing he needed to worry about was whether he would explode because of the huge amount of life force.
This method was similar to the way the cardinals of the five major countries in the new world obtained life force. It involved the chain of life force, which was very complicated and dangerous. The senior practitioner didn't explain it in the first layer of the ancient book.
In the senior practitioner's opinion, it shouldn't be too big a problem for him to break through Yuan Tian stage three and reach Yuan Tian stage four. Once he reached Yuan Tian stage four, with the support of the Divine Kingdom's life force, there shouldn't be any big problem. Even with such a guarantee, he still couldn't reach Yuan Tian stage nine.
But Chu Yunsheng had a problem. Now he had already left the scope of the ancient book and embarked on his own path, a path that no one had ever walked before.
He also didn't have the ancient book for a long time, so he couldn't count on the Divine Kingdom. Even if he still had it, he didn't have the mood to do it now.
For a long time, there were only a few ways for him to obtain life force. The first was one of the strongest seven nails, but the seven nails were long gone, just like the ancient book. The second was the black gas. The black gas was uncontrollable, and sometimes it didn't work, so he didn't have any clue how to do it. The third way was to obtain a very rich life force in the node, but just like the second way, there was no way that could be repeated.
The monster seal talisman was used to give life force and nourish the sealed creature with life force. Maldini's death formation was derived from the monster seal talisman, so it could extract life force. This was also one of the reasons why the cardinals of the five major countries kept him alive. This method was more intuitive and clearer than the mysterious chain of life force. Which cardinal didn't want it?
But for Chu Yunsheng, it was still not the most ideal way.
Although the senior practitioner did not write down how to obtain or forcibly plunder other life force, it recorded a trace of his insight after he broke the Spirit-level a long time ago. The reason why he wrote it down in the ancient book was because he later came into contact with the black monolith on the earth and remembered his insight. It was not to let him try it out, but to let him take it to the Divine Kingdom and let him study it. There might be a more in-depth description in the second layer of the ancient book, but Chu Yunsheng couldn't see it at that time.
But this part of the senior practitioner's record was exactly what Chu Yunsheng needed the most right now.
He had an insect's body, but he lacked a complete fire worm's life cycle system. To be precise, he only had the plant production capacity of the fire worm, but he didn't have the ability to convert it into raw materials.
In other words, if he had a fire element body, his insect body might be able to produce life force, but in the face of natural Yuan Qi, because of the lack of a complete system, he could only stare at it.
But this part of the senior practitioner's record had a very high foothold, and it might even involve the origin of life force.
It did not dwell on the problem of the origin of life force, but directly aimed at the core of life force.
The limit of life was not determined by the number of cell division. In fact, some of the cells that made up the human body would not divide even once in their lifetime, such as nerve cells. In the laboratory, human cells in vitro, regardless of the age of the person, the final number of division was about the same, which was about 50 times.
The real determinant of life was aging, but the cause of aging was not known. Any hypothesis and explanation would be flawed. Life force contained the energy that living creatures needed, but it was not bioenergy, it was a kind of life force, and it was the mysterious source of the chemical macromolecules that made up living creatures.
The normal way was to obtain life force to increase this activity, so as to obtain a longer life. But the senior practitioner's record did the opposite. He was trying to use Ben Ti Yuan Qi to transform living creatures, to enhance their activity and increase their life force.
This seemed to be contradictory, because the purpose of obtaining life force was to have more activity and a longer life. Since it could directly enhance the activity, why would he care about increasing life force? Or maybe it was the same thing.
But in fact, it was not. Life force was the source of activity, but it had more than one use. With the senior practitioner's level, he did not need to use life force to maintain his life, which meant that life force had more important uses.
Chu Yunsheng did not need to study such a distant problem. He only needed to combine the senior practitioner's record with the insect's body to produce life force.
Because the senior practitioner's record was only a trace of his understanding when he broke the spirit, it was not completely formed, so theoretically, he could not even practice it. It could only be regarded as a guess. Perhaps the second layer of the ancient book had new understanding after he came into contact with the black monolith, but that had nothing to do with Chu Yunsheng.
He only needed the method in the record. It helped Chu Yunsheng solve the problem of using Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi as the raw material. The problems that the senior practitioner had not solved, or the contradictory problems, could be left to the insect's body.
It was not that the senior practitioner did not think of the plant method, it was just that his foothold was already very high, so if he used the plant method, he would return to the origin of nature. If he wanted to find the ultimate solution, he would naturally use the method that he thought was the most perfect.
Moreover, according to the senior practitioner's record, if he wanted to use this method to obtain life force, he would first need to enter the zero-dimensional space, or even cultivate the original form of consciousness. Otherwise, he would not be able to succeed. This would completely conflict with the existing system of the ancient book, and it would inevitably reverse the order of cultivation.
For Chu Yunsheng, this was not a problem. Now that he had broken through the second limit, he could vaguely see the existence of the seed. He should be able to enter the microscopic world through the seed, thus reaching the prerequisite of the senior practitioner's record. Then he would use the insect's body and Ben Ti Yuan Qi to transform life force.
He had thought about it dozens of times, and he had made every step that he had made himself in great detail. He listed them on the table one by one and revised them over and over again. Even though he had a strong body of an insect, he didn't dare to try it before he couldn't find the problem at least for now.
This not only involved the problem of the body, but also involved the zero-dimensional space, the original form of consciousness, and a lot of fatal problems. If he made a slight mistake, he would be in danger of dying.
After everything was done, he did not immediately try it, but put it aside for a while. He was very cautious, and he had to wait for his mind to be empty for a while, in case he missed something important.
The problem of life force was solved. In fact, the problem of the Divine Cardinal realm was also solved at a glance.
The first temple master of Hai Kingdom did not have any big things to do for the time being. Among the several cardinals, he was the most senior, so he was immediately asked by Chu Yunsheng.
After its description, he realized that the cardinals of the five countries were different from what he had thought. There were indeed only two Divine Realms.
This was different from the system of the ancient book. Chu Yunsheng carefully recalled the content of the ancient book. In the realm of the cardinal, Yuan Tian Stage Four mainly cultivated the Source Body. After reaching the peak stage of Yuan Tian Stage Four, he could cultivate the Life Force and form the Life Force Source Body of Yuan Tian Stage Five. Then, in Yuan Tian Stage Six, he needed to fuse these two types of Source Bodies to form the Fusion Source Body, and finally break through the Origin Gate. Only then could he go to the zero-dimensional space and find a way to give birth to the spirit.
And the cardinals of the five countries were only divided into two realms, the Divine Realm and the Divine Realm.
The Divine Realm was the foundation of the cardinal power, which was the Power Source Body, and at the same time, a large number of Life Force was obtained.
Unlike Chu Yunsheng, they did not have pure Ben Ti Yuan Qi. In order to reach a higher level, the best way was to choose a power of one attribute to cultivate to the peak.
For example, the Continental Nation's Cardinal's Metal Element Cardinal Power had reached the peak, achieving the Metal Source Body. The Extreme South Nation's Ice Element Cardinal Power was even more powerful, achieving the Ice Source Body. Meanwhile, the Sky Feather Nation's Cardinal had chosen the uncommon Secondary Element, which had its pros and cons.
But the non-sexual reproduction method of the Heavenly Feather Race gave them an advantage in being able to pass on and gather more Life Force. If not, how could the Heavenly Feather Race support three cardinals?
When the Divine Realm reached a certain level, they tried to fuse their Source Body with Life Force and break through to the Second Divine Realm. However, in the middle, the Divine Realm of Yuan Tian Stage Five was blurred.
Although Chu Yunsheng was not a spirit, he had been in contact with it for a long time. He could understand it after thinking about it for a while. About the cultivation of Life Force, even the spirit would not reveal much to them. It was completely up to them. At most, they could only find a general direction.
The cultivation of Life Force and the acquisition of Life Force were not the same thing. Regarding the acquisition of Life Force, the senior practitioner didn't mention anything about it except for a record, but he had written a lot about the cultivation of Life Force, and every word was the essence of it.
Therefore, for countless years, in order to reach the Second Divine Realm, the cardinals of the five countries tried their best to obtain Life Force, and then tried their best to fuse Life Force with their respective Source Body. Naturally, they lost more than they won.
In the end, only the Xue Yuanshi knew a little more than the cardinals of the other five countries. It was probably because he had cultivated Life Force, and it took him a lot of effort to reach the Second Divine Realm.
Otherwise, it was impossible for the cardinals of the five countries to stay in the First Divine Realm for so many years. This was not the gap between the cardinals, so why was it so difficult?
Of course, after so many years, the cardinals of the five countries had more or less understood some things, and they were also looking for ways to cultivate Life Force. This was also one of the reasons why Chu Yunsheng was nailed.
But the problem was that they had all started to fuse. Once they started, if they wanted to go back and start again, the difficulty would suddenly increase.
This problem could not be solved by Chu Yunsheng, but seeing that the Xue Yuanshi was able to forcibly enter the Second Divine Realm in the end, as long as there was the correct method to cultivate Life Force, there was still a chance.
Fortunately, the cardinals that Chu Yunsheng was facing now were all of the new generation. Except for the Grand Cardinal of Hai Kingdom and Little Zhang Yu, they had just become cardinals not long ago, and their Source Body had not been successfully cultivated, so they did not have this drawback.
Therefore, he revised the Cardinal Realm of the five countries. From two Divine Realms to three Divine Realms, the new Second Divine Realm corresponded to the Life Force cultivation of Yuan Tian Stage Five.
With the Life Force cultivation method, the Grand Cardinal of Hai Kingdom could immediately enter the new Second Divine Realm. As for Little Zhang Yu of Tian Yu Kingdom, Chu Yunsheng hadn't seen her since he came back, so he didn't want to give it to her for the time being.
Buterne, on the other hand, was a bit troublesome. Her current situation was more suitable for the cultivation of the Cardinal Power, but Chu Yunsheng didn't have the corresponding cultivation method. In the ancient book, the senior practitioner only briefly mentioned five kinds of cultivation methods with one attribute, and it was only for reference to cultivate Ben Ti Yuan Qi.
He needed time to summarize the cultivation method suitable for Buterne from the ancient book, or let the senior practitioner find a way. They must have this level of research.
As one of his own people, naturally, he must use a better cultivation method than the Grand Cardinal of Hai Kingdom. There was no need to be hasty.
After sending away the excited Grand Cardinal of Hai Kingdom, Chu Yunsheng looked at his revised steps to obtain Life Force again, and then decided to try it.
The next moment, he came to the zero-dimensional space through the crack of the spiritual seal, and then through the vague seed, he forcibly entered the microscopic world of his body, and began to circulate his self-made "cultivation method".
*****
This chapter took a lot of effort to write, but it might not be satisfactory. However, it was still necessary to sort it out so that the following plot could be developed.
In the last chapter, the metaphor of the camel, the lion, and the baby, you can see Nietzsche's Three Realms of Life.
In the end, I still need to ask for recommendation votes. I can't even see the recommendation list!
