Chapter 49 True Meaning Cultivation
early morning.
Xiong Zhou finished a bottle of sweet and sour orange juice and stretched, watching the rising sun.
He took the blue futon, which was no longer of much help to him, walked to the center of the courtyard, placed it on the cushion, sat down with a thud, and reached into his storage bag to pull out a 1 cubic centimeter, pixelated, crystal-clear cube.
Xiong Zhou held the crystal-clear cube high and brought it into the sunlight.
In an instant, rays of brilliant light radiated from within, creating a dreamlike scene.
"It's really beautiful."
Name: Spacetime Cube (Fragment)
Level: Refinement Level 6 (half a step towards Refinement Level 7)
Category: Rare Item Description: A fragment of a spacetime-based immortal artifact that has exhausted its spacetime Dao essence, which, with the assistance of a Qi Refining Immortal from the Tai Li Immortal Sect, has been pixelated. Special Features:
1. Spacetime Anchoring: Forcibly anchors a 100×100×100 grid area (cannot be broken by those with primordial spirits).
2. Spacetime Convergence: Integrates with other objects possessing spacetime laws, enhancing their spacetime abilities to a limited extent (can be detached at any time).
Xiong Zhou muttered something to himself, his mind immediately sinking down. He used [Innate Divine Power: █ (Pixel Cube)] to store the spacetime cube into his inner world and pressed it directly onto the [Gate to Another World].
"boom!"
This special portal, which resembled a "near-world portal," suddenly burst into a bright light.
A phantom grass cube surrounded by rings appeared in the center of the portal.
Countless tiny pixel blocks seemed to be rearranging and reorganizing, causing subtle changes to the operating logic of this [Gate to Another World], as if a special plugin had been added.
"Splash..."
99
The sound of stacked pixel blocks rang out, and tens of millions of translucent pixel blocks overlapped, arranging themselves into a special panel in front of Xiong Zhou's eyes.
The Gate to Another World
[Anchor Coordinate 1: Refining World (Connecting)]
[Anchor Coordinates 2: Mountain and Sea Boundary (Connecting)]
[Anchor Coordinates 3: Azure Sky Boundary (Unconnected)]
[Anchor coordinate 4: Unknown (cannot be connected)]
Within the inner world, Xiong Zhou's solidified consciousness reached out and clicked on [Anchor Coordinates 3: Azure Sky Realm (Unconnected)], and two different connection options popped up.
[Connection 1: Information connection only (The origin of heaven and earth needs to be completely repaired before power can be projected into the Refining World to complete the connection. Estimated time required: 50 billion years)]
[Connection 2: Integration into the Refining World (It will transform into a semi-independent Hengxing Star System, losing its status as the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and gaining the status of an unknown Star God in the Refining World)]
Looking at the two different connection options, Xiong Zhou's lips twitched slightly.
"The repair process is ridiculously long. The very origin of heaven and earth needs to be completely repaired before I can borrow some power within the Qi Refining World."
"9
"A position that requires relinquishing dominance and losing the status of the master of heaven and earth."
Neither of these are good choices.
Actually, there is another option: to go to the Azure Sky Realm on your own.
However, to do this, one must either use the sect's five-colored altar or travel through the void sea on their own.
Using the Five-Colored Altar once would be too costly.
Moreover, it requires frequent travel between Chenming Mountain and the Azure Sky Realm, which consumes a tremendous amount of energy.
Traveling through the Sea of Void to the Azure Sky Realm on one's own, relying on a wisp of abundant Dharma principles that have been transformed from the path of the Saint, entirely belonging to oneself, and the positioning of the spacetime cube, is indeed feasible.
However, there are two problems: it takes too long and safety is not guaranteed.
Xiong Zhou complained, "I want immediate assistance to help me expand the Abundant Laws, and I have no choice at all."
Furthermore, Master Lu had already hinted to him that the overall development potential of the Azure Sky Realm was extremely limited; it was not a truly complete world.
Within the inner world, the solidified consciousness reached out and clicked on [Connection 2: Integrate into the Refining World].
Faintly, strands of translucent and bright silver light rose from the [Gateway to Another World], and countless brilliant, pure white, translucent, and bright silver threads rose from Xiong Zhou's body, spreading towards the Sea of Void.
"Buzz!"
Above Chenming Mountain, a tiny star appeared in the distant high sky.
The information on the panel has started refreshing.
[Anchor Coordinates 3: Azure Sky Boundary (Collapsed)]
[Rank: Lord of Heaven and Earth (Disintegrated)]
[Anchor Coordinates 3: Refining World, Abundant, Eternal Star System (Connected)]
Rank: Abundant Star God Level: Refinement Level 6 (Beginning)
Affiliation: World Refining Law: Way of Abundance Authority: Lv.6
Xiong Zhou looked up at the now-vanished Abundant Heng star system.
"I can sense that the affinity between this world and me has increased, and the blessing effect of the power of heaven and earth on me has returned by about half."
"Most importantly, I can also access the backend data. Even if this is just the parameter of the Abundant Heng galaxy, the reference and beacon for the derivation method are still there."
"[Rank: Abundant Star God], add points!"
"Let me see your limits!"
In the abundant star system hidden high in the sky, it reappeared and directly targeted the location of Chenming Mountain, dropping one after another tangible stellar essence.
In just a short while, strands of abundance, completely pixelated and entirely under the control of the bear boat, were generated on this sacred mountain.
The entire Chenming Mountain seems to be blessed by heaven and earth.
The progress bars for cultivation level and spirit cultivation level were piling up again at a near-frenzied speed.
The information on the panel composed of 【Innate Divine Power: (Pixel Blocks)】 was also refreshing at an alarming rate.
Until a certain point, all the data stopped changing, reaching [Lv.6], and hitting its limit.
Xiong Zhou immediately took out the "Enlightenment Pill" that his senior uncle Lu had helped him exchange, opened the bottle, opened his mouth, and poured it directly down.
"Glug... Glug..."
'
"Add some points!"
"breakthrough!"
The rising sun seemed to dim slightly, and the world seemed to darken, while the abundant star system high in the sky, which displayed its existence, shone even brighter.
The sound of the mighty waves rose on Chenming Mountain, and a dreamlike ocean emerged from nothing. A pixelated plain was projected, exuding a sense of tranquility and peace.
A slight cracking sound rang in Xiong Zhou's ears, and the power of his bloodline began to surge. His inspiration was rising, and the laws of heaven and earth seemed to be within reach at this moment.
The world before my eyes became blurred.
Countless "roads," some bright, some dark, some tranquil, some raging, appeared before Xiong Zhou, welcoming him to set foot on them.
"Ha, I must have been stupid to follow these clueless paths."
Xiong Zhou reached out and slapped his hand, shattering countless roads that had been bewitchingly beautiful in front of him into nothingness.
Only three paths, radiating azure, bright yellow, and shimmering gold, which had been marked in advance by Xiong Zhou, remained, growing ever more dazzling and ever closer before their eyes.
It was the paths of his father, mother, and senior sister Baiyu that gradually overlapped, giving rise to a unique and abundant set of principles that belonged only to Xiong Zhou.
Xiong Zhou stepped inside and strode forward, following the overlapping path.
"boom!"
The sublimation of life has begun.
The limits were broken, comprehension began to transform, physique began to transform, bloodline power was revived, and innate supernatural powers evolved further.
With all the help he received, Xiong Zhou felt his vitality rising wildly until he reached a certain limit, where he was firmly imprisoned and could no longer break through.
In some mysterious way, he had a certain understanding of this.
"This is a restriction imposed by Heaven and Earth on mortal beings. Only by advancing to the third level of Qi Refining, proving immortality, and allowing the essence of life to leap forward once again, can one break through this barrier."
"As for my current lifespan limit..."
"
"May it last forever!"

The strange phenomenon that had formed on Chenming Mountain slowly dissipated.
In the courtyard, Xiong Zhou reached out and touched his body, then a big question mark appeared above his head.
"Why do I feel that after advancing to the second level of Qi Refining, there isn't much difference compared to when I reached the limit of the first level?"
"Oh, you've grown taller again, I'd guess you're about two meters tall, and your muscles have become a little more toned."
"No, the increase in power is not noticeable at all."
"Is it because I haven't begun to cultivate the true meaning?"
Xiong Zhou was a little confused.
Then, he took out a long flute with coral patterns from the inner world and stared at it intently.
"Sigh, my celestial prodigy, what problem do you have now?"
Yu Yuan's figure emerged from the flute, transforming into a palm-sized, azure light and shadow that stood atop the flute.
"Actually, your understanding of the laws and principles of heaven and earth has already surpassed that of my time."
"Really, if you don't understand, it's hard for me to explain it to you."
Within Xiong Zhou's inner world, Yu Yuan witnessed firsthand how this prodigy of the Immortal Sect summoned a deity to descend and with a single spear pierced the corpse of the red-haired man.
He also witnessed firsthand that there was indeed an elder who was a true immortal cultivator, who gave Xiong Zhou private lessons, one-on-one lectures and answered his questions, discussed the situation of the heavens, and explained the threshold for attaining immortality.
Yu Yuan lay completely flat. Now he just wanted to be a proper artifact spirit and become a beautiful decoration.
Xiong Zhou stood up from the blue futon, sat on the stone bench, and placed the flute on the stone table.
"Well, what I really want to know is what it was like when you reached the second level of Qi Refining."
"Logically speaking, the increase in strength should be quite obvious when advancing from the first level of Refinement to the second level."
"This is one of the six special turning points in cultivation before attaining immortality."
The azure light and shadow of the fish-shaped disc moved from the flute to the stone table, its eyes filled with memories.
The burly male merman phantom nodded and said, "That's true. Advancing from the first level of Refinement to the second level is a significant change, with a particularly large increase in power."
"Back then, when I was at the first level of Qi Refining, I could barely control the water-elemental Qi within a radius of ten meters. After advancing to the second level of Qi Refining, I could directly control the water-elemental Qi within a radius of one hundred meters, which can be described as a qualitative change."
Yu Yuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable as she looked at Xiong Zhou.
"Then, my immortal sect's prodigy."
"When you were at the first level of cultivation, how many meters of space within a radius could you control? After advancing to the second level, how many meters of space within a radius could you control?"
Xiong Zhou did some mental calculations.
"At the limit of the first level of Qi Refining, the radius is approximately 100,000 li."
"Now that I'm at the second level of Qi Refining, I can still cover a radius of about 100,000 li, but I can hold out for a bit longer."
Yu Yuan spread her hands and complained, "Listen to what you just said!"
"That's an area of 100,000 li!"
"You are a prodigy of the Immortal Sect, while I was just an ordinary Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator in my previous life."
"Even the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, the understanding of the way of heaven and earth, is just touching the threshold of the evolution of laws, and then being killed with a blow."
"You ask me, but what can I say?"
"According to the normal logic of cultivation, if you want to make great progress, you either need to further your understanding of the laws and principles of heaven and earth, or you need to advance to the third level of Qi Refining, to prove immortality, and for your life essence to undergo another transformation."
"My immortal prodigy, you should decide which true meaning of heaven and earth you want to cultivate, and then begin your secluded cultivation."
Xiong Zhou nodded, then shook his head.
"I've already made my decision regarding the true meaning. The 'Tai Li Refining Method' focuses on cultivating both body and mind, cultivating the true meaning, which is essentially cultivating the true self, cultivating the true nature."
"I may study the principles and true meaning of the universe as a secondary pursuit, but I will never focus on it as my primary pursuit."
"Now, I have some doubts about the true meaning of spiritual practice. Is it to meditate and chant scriptures in the deep mountains, or to engage in worldly activities and observe the myriad sights?"
Yu Yuan was taken aback. Cultivating the "true meaning" is the same as cultivating the "true self"?
He had never heard of such a claim or such a method of reform.
After a moment of silence, Yu Yuan said, "Actually, based on my experience, whether it's meditating in the deep mountains and chanting scriptures or experiencing the world and seeing all kinds of scenery, it all seems to be about cultivating the mind."
"If you can, why not choose both?"
"Entering the world is also leaving the world; observing countless sights is also a form of quiet meditation and chanting scriptures."
"Of course, I'm just saying that. Cultivating one's mind is still very subjective, and you need to make your own judgment."
Xiong Zhou's eyes lit up.
Is engaging in the world the same as withdrawing from it?
Is enjoying the magnificent scenery also a form of quiet meditation and chanting?
He seems to actually have a way of managing both.
Xiong Zhou sat back down on the blue futon, focusing his attention on the [Gate to Another World], and began to meditate and chant scriptures, cultivating his true intentions.
