"That's not right!" Lu Sheng shook his head.
"If I could set a goal at will, then I could directly set the goal of destroying the universe. That's not realistic." Lu Sheng understood in his heart that this so-called concept of setting a target for the modifier, Deep Blue, was more like treating Deep Blue as a supercomputer and assigning it a target calculation task. Then, he would gather all sorts of materials and calculation methods and let it run continuously until it finally came up with a result.
But this did not mean that any goal could be set.
This goal had to be confirmed to be achievable before it could become the goal of Deep Blue's calculation. Otherwise …
"Setting up a theoretical goal that can't be achieved would require too much information. Deep Blue doesn't have its own intelligence either. The final result might be some harsh conditions that can't be achieved through cultivation, and it would be completely stuck. That's not realistic … "Lu Sheng shook his head. "I need something that can't be too realistic or clear, but has limitless room for development. This way, Deep Blue can get infinitely closer to its goal. Even if it can't be achieved, it won't be completely stuck at a certain stage."
He sat upright on the ground, his eyes flashing as his thoughts spun rapidly.
"Most of the materials I can gather in this world are True Qi techniques, martial arts, demonic arts, and secret arts. And the most basic of these is actually the theory of Yin Yang. Whether it's Essence Qi that determines everything in True Qi techniques, or turning food into essence in martial arts, or taking in poison as energy in demonic arts, they're all the same. The core of all cultivation methods is Yin Yang. "
At Lu Sheng's current level, he was familiar with all the major systems. It was not difficult for him to learn from them.
"Yang is existence, and Yin is nothingness. Yin Yang can be summarized as existence and nothingness, but this conceptual level cannot be deduced with enough materials, so it's a lower level. Yin represents the earth, turbid and sinking. Yang represents the sky, light and rising. Heaven and earth, heaven and earth … "
Lu Sheng's train of thought expanded.
"Be it True Qi, inner force, demonic essence, demonic qi, etc., they all represent the Yang side. Because they're all pure energy. As for my heretic body, its various forms actually represent the yin side. They're all solid matter. In this way … this system will be able to accommodate everything that I have mastered so far. "
Thoughts and ideas quickly gathered and circulated in Lu Sheng's mind. Whether it was true qi, inner qi, demonic arts or secret arts, Lu Sheng didn't care. He gathered them all together, as long as he could use them. It didn't matter what system it was. Bring it all out.
Very soon, the various boxes on Deep Blue began to disappear. Be it Heretic Dao, True Qi, or Secret Arts, they all disappeared.
All of them disappeared and were replaced by a single cultivation technique.
'I've taken Yin and Yang as my concept. The plate is too big, and it has endless possibilities. I've also used Deep Blue as the furnace and Mental Energy as the blazing fire. I've harvested external objects and absorbed them into my body. After refining their essence, I've used them to forge my true meaning and Great Dao. This kind of Great Dao is limitless and should be named … "
"Infinity Technique."
Lu Sheng calmed down.
* Hiss … *
Suddenly, a new line of words slowly appeared in the box above Deep Blue. The name of the cultivation method at the top was written with the words' Infinity Technique 'in large letters.
'The Infinity Technique cultivates both Yin and Yang. It should be divided into four realms. The Mortal realm from mortal to Divine Prime, the Bind realm from Bind to Earth Prime Snake, and the Attainment realm from Earth Prime to Divine Weapon Master. And the Spirit realm from Divine Weapon Master to Devil Master and Holy Lord. '
As Lu Sheng's thoughts continued to clear up, lines of words about the Infinity Technique also appeared on Deep Blue's box.
From the Mortal Realm to the Spirit Realm, the Infinity Technique had basically copied everything he had experienced, step by step. Lu Sheng had broken through in the past, and the Infinity Technique had done the same.
Simply put, it integrated all of Lu Sheng's breakthroughs and cultivation experiences into a complete cultivation technique.
What was different from other cultivation techniques was that the Infinity Technique had limitless possibilities of development. It didn't seem to have changed much, but compared to the Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way, its biggest limitation was completely broken.
Lu Sheng could clearly feel that the various powers in his body were slowly merging. It was no longer as clear as before.
The first four realms of the Infinity Technique also slowly appeared on Deep Blue's modifier. As long as he looked, he could immediately see the subsequent sections of each realm, as well as the actual special effects and enhancements.
'Alright … now that I've confirmed the Infinity Technique, it's time to extrapolate the next steps …' Lu Sheng's gaze fell on the modify button at the bottom of the box. He focused and pressed it.
"Pfft."
Deep Blue flickered, and then returned to normal.
'The fourth realm of the Infinity Technique is a body and spirit comparable to a Divine Weapon. Now it's time to extrapolate the fifth realm. 'Lu Sheng quickly shifted his attention to the extrapolate button behind the Infinity Technique.
'Infinity Technique, fifth extrapolation.'
The moment he pressed the extrapolate button, Lu Sheng suddenly felt his entire consciousness tremble.
Large amounts of Mental Energy were swallowed by the mysterious region in front of his chest. Deep Blue was like a terrifying monster that didn't know how to be full. It rapidly swallowed the Mental Energy that Lu Sheng had painstakingly earned.
One hundred … two hundred … three hundred … five hundred … one thousand … two thousand … three thousand …
Three thousand eight hundred!!
This terrifying rate of swallowing slowed down only when there were only about a thousand Mental Energy units left.
Lu Sheng was shocked. Although he'd guessed that extrapolating on his own would cost a lot of Mental Energy, he didn't expect it to cost so much.
'A body and spirit that surpasses a Divine Weapon or Devil Blade. Extrapolating to the next level of a Divine Lord actually costs almost 4,000 units of Mental Energy …' Lu Sheng took a deep breath. Even he couldn't believe it. Moreover, the consumption of Mental Energy hadn't stopped. It was still continuing.
He finally understood why Divine Lords and Devil Lords only belonged to the major forces. This level of consumption alone wasn't something an ordinary force could afford.
His Mental Energy was still being consumed. The Infinity Technique's frame was still blurry.
Lu Sheng waited patiently as well. Deep Blue used all of his current knowledge, experience, martial arts theories, and knowledge as materials to simulate the forging process. It was still unknown whether or not it would be able to create a cultivation method that surpassed Divine Weapons and Devil Blades.
Time passed slowly.
He waited for more than an hour.
The Infinity Technique's frame finally became clear. Lu Sheng was instantly overjoyed. He looked up.
'Infinity Technique, fifth tier, six levels of Collection. First level — Water Flower. Special Effect: Devil Body Reconstruction, Infinite Outer Dao … 'The Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way from before had all been incorporated into the Infinity Technique, including Bright Void Earth Stomp Technique, Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill, and other cultivation methods.
"Collection?" Lu Sheng shifted his gaze. Immediately, a large amount of relevant information entered his mind.
The key to the subsequent breakthrough of the method Deep Blue derived was to devour Divine Weapons and Devil Blades! Moreover, the first step was only a rudimentary one. To achieve great success, he had to devour a water-type Divine Weapon that was at least Golden Leaf rank.
Clearly, Deep Blue had already experienced the benefits Lu Sheng had gained from devouring Immortal Immortal.
'It was just a test in a moment of anger. Who would've thought …' Lu Sheng smiled bitterly. The method he derived for the breakthrough was actually this way.
He did not know how a Weapon Grandmaster advanced and broke through, but there was no doubt that devouring other Divine Weapons to strengthen oneself was more likely to be the path taken by Divine Weapons and Devil Blades.
'Whatever … I'll go down first.' Up until now, Lu Sheng had mostly relied on the Modifier, Deep Blue. Now, he could only trust the results of Deep Blue's extrapolations.
'I've derived and comprehended moves with a high concept before. That's how I got Star Destruction. It's a pity that if I'd comprehended it to this level back then, I wouldn't have to take so many detours now. '
Lu Sheng raised his hand and looked at the faint patterns that were slowly appearing on his skin. At a superficial glance, these patterns looked no different from ordinary skin patterns. However, in reality, he could feel the various mysteries and complexities contained within them.
It was like the cloud patterns of a weapon that had been tempered thousands of times.
'The fifth tier of the Infinity Technique corresponds to the breakthrough of a Divine Master to a Weapon Grandmaster. It's divided into six levels, and named Plucking. I'm afraid its purpose is to gather and devour enough Divine Weapons and Devil Blades. As long as I devour enough Divine Weapons and Devil Blades, and have enough Mental Energy, I'll be able to break through to the next level … This Infinity Technique … is truly terrifying! 'Lu Sheng exclaimed in his heart.
Although his strength did not increase by much, his direction and goal were clear now. He was also much clearer about his future plans and path.
After closing his eyes for a moment, Lu Sheng slowly opened his mouth and spat out a puff of smoke.
The smoke spiraled in three different colors — white, gold, and black. The three colors of smoke intertwined with each other, and slowly merged into a cold and numbing silver-white color.
After the smoke finished merging, it returned to Lu Sheng's body through his nose and mouth. This meant that the liquefied Inner Qi, Devil Essence, and True Qi could completely merge into one type of energy. This type of energy could easily imitate the characteristics of the three types of energy. More accurately, it had the characteristics of all three types of energy at the same time, and could be used to power all the martial paths of the three major systems of True Qi, Devil Arts, and Inner Qi.
'Merge all, replace all. This energy represents a part of the Yang in the Infinity Technique. It can be named Yang Essence.' Lu Sheng confirmed the name in his heart.
After the Infinity Technique reached the first level of Plucking, a large amount of Yang Essence began to rapidly merge with all the pure energies in his body — liquefied Inner Qi, liquefied True Qi, and Devil Essence. In a short moment, they were all swallowed and turned into silver-white Yang Essence.
Lu Sheng raised his right hand. His index finger trembled slightly, and immediately released threads of Yang Essence.
The silver-white Yang Essence first turned into the golden True Qi of the Thousand Sun Sect at his fingertip, then into a large ball of pitch-black Devil Essence, and finally into pure white liquefied Qi droplets.
All three major systems were absorbed.
'It's done … Next, I just need to collect Divine Weapons and Devil Blades, and then read enough books to provide nutrients for the next step of the derivation.'
Lu Sheng had completely understood his future path.
