Chapter 2754 - 559:
Nowadays, it’s been so long and still no return, I’m afraid the situation is grim.
Cao Zhen entered the only intact house, gently closed the door, and spat out a mouthful of bloody spit. The previous attack was truly terrifying.
He quickly took out a pill from his pocket, swallowed it, and began to operate his cultivation technique to restore his injuries.
He opened it simultaneously, randomly accessed the Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch’s document, and started to read.
User: Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch
Gender: Female
Identity: Skyeye Clan, Indistinct Sect, Reincarnation Palace, Palace Master.
"Indistinct Sect?
So, they, the Skyeye Clan, just like the Human Clan, also have numerous Great Teachings? But even with such strong cultivation base, she is merely a palace princess, not a Sect Hierarch, not even an Elder."
Cao Zhen paused slightly, and continued reading.
Cultivation Base: Golden Immortal Realm.
Gift: Reincarnation Immortal Body.
"Again with reincarnation! Her palace is the Reincarnation Palace, and her attacks carry a taste of reincarnation."
Power of Reincarnation?
He naturally knew of the Power of Reincarnation, but among the cultivators he had met previously, few had truly cultivated it.
He continued to watch.
"Turns out this is the Power of Reincarnation. Back then, facing my attack, she utilized the Power of Reincarnation, returning my attack back to its original state, hence I felt my attack suddenly disappeared."
After examining the opponent’s Way of Reincarnation, images of what the Celestial Wheel Immortal Monarch had spoken before resurfaced in Cao Zhen’s mind.
"I’m nothing like the master of my power, more of a user... actually, this statement couldn’t be more accurate.
My powers, apart from my swordsmanship, are rarely cultivated by myself. It’s not due to Zhang Daoling or Lu Ya Taoist and other experts, but because my disciples have won effortlessly.
Although I can wield these powers, as to how these cultivation techniques and spells were cultivated, I know very little.
These powers, aren’t they exactly what she says, just a user?"
"So, all these years, what have I been doing?"
All along, whether in the Core Formation Stage or later Golden Core Stage, Earth Immortal Realm, Immortality Regainment Realm, True Immortal Realm, he was the absolute invincible existence within the same cultivation realm, even possessing the ability to fight across realms.
Slowly and unconsciously, he began to regard himself as the number one under heaven.
Deep in his heart, there was even a thought: ’I may not be as strong as you now, but once I breakthrough, and attain the same cultivation realm as you, I will definitely be stronger.’
"But is it really me who is strong? Actually, my innate talent for immortal cultivation is just average, otherwise, back then I wouldn’t have failed to enter those higher peaks, but entered the Four Treasures Peak.
In truth, it’s not me who is strong, it’s Zhang Daoling, it’s Lu Ya Taoist, even my disciples are the strong ones.
It’s Zhonghua Cloud that is strong!
Without Zhonghua Cloud, what would I be?
Zhang Daoling, Lu Ya Taoist, including the Yang Jian I just accessed, they became top-notch experts without Zhonghua Cloud.
But without Zhonghua Cloud, I am afraid I would merely be an ordinary cultivator.
Indeed, using Zhonghua Cloud, I can become very powerful, and perhaps in the future I will breakthrough into the Golden Immortal Realm, but after that?
When I face another powerful entity, a real powerhouse, I fear I will still be defeated, even more disastrously than today.
Because, to speak it plainly, that power is not my own, but power given by others.
I was strong before because my treasures were stronger, my spells were stronger, my physique was stronger, but certainly not me myself!"
Cao Zhen recalled all the experiences since he arrived in this world and suddenly realized one issue: he had been overly reliant on Zhonghua Cloud.
"Before, I always thought I could continue to effortlessly win with Zhonghua Cloud. But now, I know that ultimately, it’s not a power obtained from my own cultivation.
For a cultivator, ultimately everything must rely on oneself, and only the power cultivated by oneself, bit by bit, belongs to you."
At that moment, Cao Zhen suddenly understood a lot.
"Only by relying on oneself and continually cultivating can one tread the true path of becoming a powerhouse! My persistent inability to become a Golden Immortal is not due to the grand era, not because Central Continent is still in the hands of the Alien Race, but because my comprehension is insufficient.
My disciples break through because I provided them with pills, but their comprehension plays a more significant role.
My comprehension is lacking, hence I’ve never become a Golden Immortal.
To break through in the future, one must rely on oneself."
Cao Zhen finally comprehended everything.
He suddenly muttered to himself: "Zhonghua Cloud, if I sever all connections with the supporters, what would be the consequences?"
He can communicate with Zhonghua Cloud. When he initially failed to access, Zhonghua Cloud briefly communicated with him, but he rarely engaged in exchanges with Zhonghua Cloud.
As his voice fell, the voice of Zhonghua Cloud sounded in his mind: "Just like those accessors who died after accessing earlier. You will no longer be able to view those accessed content in the future.
Additionally, actively severing connections with accessed users will result in backlash.
For every user you sever, your cultivation base will be significantly affected. The more severed, the weaker your cultivation.
Of course, since you’ve already mastered their knowledge, even if you sever the connection, the spells, talismans, formation knowledge learned from them won’t disappear."
"Then, can I choose to partially sever the connection with them? For instance, with my disciples, I only retain the ability to communicate but not receive the cultivation experience they provide?"
After understanding everything, his first thought was to sever all connections with the supporters through access, and in the future, rely solely on himself.
It’s just, his wife, his children, his disciples, these are his close ones.
Zhonghua Cloud fell silent for a while, and after some time, its voice rang again: "As an administrator, you automatically acquire the ability to utilize others’ experiences.
Of course, you wish to disable it, you have the authority, but I hope you are prudent, for that would be equivalent to self-crippling your martial arts."
