As early as the beginning of his reincarnation, Wu Ming had noticed that this world, or rather, the universe, was very different from what he had imagined.
He had guessed that since this was a world where the almighty who had created the main shrine might exist, it would not be inferior to the Dazhou world, even if Celestial Immortals and Golden Immortals could be found everywhere.
But the reality was that this was a world biased towards the physical side. He did not know if there was any suppression of supernatural powers, but there were many different rules. The situation he faced here was not much better than when William had transmigrated. At the beginning, he had a mortal body, so it was quite difficult to use supernatural powers.
"It's not that I can't use them at all. This world's tolerance is quite high, but it seems to have some conflicts with the rules of the original Immortal Martial Universe, so I need to modify it a little …"
Wu Ming pondered for a moment. "With this body, practicing martial arts is just a dream. Although there are some problems with the mind, I should focus on nurturing it. When I'm three years old, I should be able to try magic. As for martial arts? I can only do it after I'm ten years old … "
In his previous life, Wu Ming did not agree with the saying that martial arts had to be practiced from infancy, and that it was best to start practicing in the womb.
He did not know if it was because of the different rules of the universe, but he did not feel any innate qi in his mother's womb in this life. It was true that it was easier to establish internal circulation than the outside world because the fetus was sealed.
But how could he accommodate the circulation of inner qi when his muscles and bones were not developed?
How could he circulate his inner qi in a mass of flesh and blood? Wu Ming did not think he had the guts to be so arrogant.
"For now, I can only be a baby …"
A trace of helplessness appeared in Wu Ming's eyes, and he could not help but look forward to this period of time.
…
Time passed quickly.
Mr. and Mrs. Sterling were also very surprised by Steven's talent.
When he was one year old, he could already walk very steadily and use simple words to express himself. For example, when he was hungry, he would ask for a bottle. When he felt uncomfortable, he would ask for diapers and clothes. Even when there was no one around, he was very obedient and did not cry at all.
This made Mr. James Sterling very satisfied. He thought that his son was a genius, and even had the idea of advanced education.
Of course, all this was soon interrupted by an interlude.
It was Mrs. Sterling. She was pregnant again.
This made Wu Ming heave a sigh of relief. At the very least, after having other children, the Sterlings wouldn't always pay attention to him.
Moreover, strictly speaking, this child was their true child, the continuation of their bloodline.
With their inherited karma, Wu Ming's troubles would be much smaller.
"Little Steven, do you want a younger brother or sister?"
Madam Sterling had changed into a loose maternity dress and was sitting beside Wu Ming. She rubbed her belly with a benevolent smile.
"Little brother, little sister?!"
Wu Ming pretended to be curious and approached Madam Sterling, secretly trying to sense her with his mind.
Unfortunately, the difference in the world made it extremely difficult for him to even execute such a simple technique. However, he could faintly sense the auras of two living beings.
"I want them all!"
Little Steven announced, thinking to himself, Looks like it's a pair of twins.
"You're so greedy!"
Madam Sterling smiled and rubbed Wu Ming's little head, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Hungry!"
Just after trying it for a while, Wu Ming immediately felt a little tired and immediately shouted.
"Hungry again? Little Steven, you're such a glutton. You'll definitely grow up to be a strong young man! "
Madam Sterling said helplessly.
Although this child was very obedient and did not require much worry, he was still a little troublesome. He could eat too much.
His appetite was almost twice that of a normal child, causing the couple to worry that he was sick. They only calmed down after seeing a pediatrician.
"Eating a lot is a good thing. It means that I'm growing up quickly …"
Wu Ming held the bottle and ate quickly, but he said in his heart, "It's too late.
"It's just a try, but there are still benefits to it. It's made me realize how different this world is from my previous one. Although it seems to be the age of steam, the bodies of people in this world are much stronger. I thought I'd have to wait until the age of three for my brain to develop to meet the requirements of training my mental strength. But now, I can do it at around a year old … Does this mean that my body is very suitable for extraordinary powers?"
Wu Ming's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this world was not as simple as it seemed.
Late at night.
Madam Sterling and Madam Sterling went to sleep after talking for a while.
In the pram, Wu Ming suddenly opened his eyes.
"The most basic requirement for training in Dharma has finally been met … No! In this universe, most Dharma has to be modified. What I can do now is only the most basic training of mental strength. Also … it's difficult to probe the outside world, and can only be used on myself? "
Wu Ming's expression darkened as he thought about how he had consumed a great deal of energy just to peek at Madam Sterling.
"Cultivation in Dharma is mainly about visualizing and maintaining the spirit, or the cultivation of consciousness and mental strength. Once my mental strength is high, I can sense the outside world and refine qi into spirit … Now, I'll take it easy and steady. After all, it won't be fun if I go down the wrong path. I should focus on nurturing my body …"
Wu Ming was now a Golden Immortal, and he had visited many worlds. There were countless secret manuals stored in his sea of consciousness. Moreover, from a strategically advantageous position, he had analyzed these techniques from the most basic aspects. With the knowledge of a Golden Immortal, he naturally gained much.
"This is also a level of cultivation. Above Golden Immortal is the Grand Heavenly realm. Golden Immortals have a world status, but Grand Heavenly realm is a universal status."
The Grand Heavenly realm was acknowledged by all time, space, and the universe. Once proven, it was eternal, and it surpassed Golden Immortals by leaps and bounds.
Golden Immortals could reign supreme in their own world, but once they left their world and came to this universe, their ferocity would be greatly reduced. What about other conflicting universes? The current Wu Ming was the best example.
But Grand Heavenly Golden Immortals were different!
Once they achieved the Grand Heavenly realm, no matter which world or universe they were in, as long as they entered, they would have the same peak strength without any reduction!
If Wu Ming had already achieved the Grand Heavenly realm, even if he came to this universe now, he would also have the strength of a Grand Heavenly Golden Immortal, and he wouldn't have to be so restrained in the beginning.
"Level 8 Grand Heavenly Golden Immortal, the Grand Heavenly realm is universal in all universes, so it should be the use of the rules …"
Wu Ming seemed to be deep in thought, "Even though there are many conflicting rules between the two universes, there is still a very small overlap. This is the focus of the research!"
"Is there a part of the rules that is not only universal in the Immortal Martial Universe, Western Fantasy Universe, but also in all universes?"
"In the process of traveling to many universes, one would constantly eliminate the rules that one has comprehended, extract the essence, and get rid of the impurities. In the end, what is left is the most essential and purest power of the rules. Perhaps this is the cultivation method of the Grand Heavenly realm?"
Once one's cultivation reached the Celestial Immortal level, it was almost impossible to improve, and Golden Immortals depended on luck.
Even Wu Ming was barely able to distinguish the Level 9 Reincarnators from the information and materials in the Master Deity Palace.
However, he was still a little confused about the cultivation path after the Golden Immortal realm.
But now, he vaguely found some clues.
"The Path of Level 8 Grand Heavenly realm probably requires one to experience a large number of universes and constantly integrate oneself, like a hundred refinement of real gold, removing all impurities, leaving only the purest Grand Heavenly Dao rules, and finally condensing into one, only then can it be proven …"
Wu Ming's small eyes emitted a fiery brilliance, "Every time I travel between universes, it is a rare opportunity for me to cultivate."
"Now, I will first start from this steam world, integrate what I have learned, get rid of the impurities, and reorganize what I have learned to create a cultivation method that can be used in this world. At the same time as a preview, it is also a cultivation process."
The Path of Grand Heavenly Golden Immortal was to learn from the strong points of others and get rid of the impurities.
Now, Wu Ming had begun to walk on this path.
"The cultivation method that I have learned …"
His expression was slightly dazed, and in his sea of consciousness, many secret manuals appeared.
From the most basic Yin-Yellow Court Talisman Scripture to the Five-Lightning Palm Technique, then to the Darkwater True Technique, the Divine Abilities of the five elements, and numerous other divine arts and secret techniques. There were even more tricks, secret techniques, and so on and so forth. There were a myriad of them, and it was practically too much for the eye to take in.
"The first thing I need to do is to integrate all the cultivation methods, get rid of the parts that do not conflict with the rules of this universe, and then sort out the parts that do not conflict …"
Wu Ming only slightly estimated this project, and immediately felt a little dizzy.
"It is too huge …"
The implementation of this plan, with his current insight, knowledge, and computing power, felt a little overwhelmed.
"Maybe … I should design a computer for myself, like the deduction core of the Master Deity Palace, with a semi-intelligent system that can provide support for my computing power …"
Wu Ming immediately gave up on this whimsical idea. "Even in my previous life, this kind of subsidiary brain was only a product of science fiction, and it is even more impossible now. Do I have to use cultivation methods to create artificial intelligence similar to the 'tower spirit'? But if my magic ability can achieve this, I am afraid there is not much to fear in this world … "
He sighed, and then immediately threw this very tempting idea to the back of his mind. "In short, the tallest building starts from the lowest ground, so let me first start with the most basic deduction. Anyway, I still have a lot of time … It is a pity that I do not have much support from my main body. Otherwise, with the help of the Master Deity Palace, this progress can be greatly accelerated …"
The tranquil moonlight fell through the window, sprinkling on the baby's body, as if covering him with a layer of silver light.
If someone happened to be next to him, they would find that the moonlight seemed a little hazy, but upon closer inspection, it disappeared, as if they were seeing things …
