Chapter 833 442: Xuandao Technique, All Beings Are Like Dragons_2

If you want resources, you can only work your hardest, put in effort, and the only outcome of giving up is death.

At first, the idea of becoming stronger without needing to cultivate might seem like a good thing. After all, everyone wants to get stronger without lifting a finger. But when the speed becomes so fast that it endangers life and causes a vicious cycle, that's very bad.

You are very strong, but you are in deficit to the point where you can't even move, and you're still becoming stronger. In the end, you'll end up as a corpse.

"It's the first time I've seen such a bizarre monopolization method. You really have to work or you die," Gu Shanhai complained helplessly.

As for orphans being unaffected? That's just wishful thinking.

You could lose your whole family, even your entire clan. The core of the 'Blood Returning Technique' is the bloodline and heritage. Even up to eighteen generations out, there's a faint connection.

It's even to the point where everyone in an entire civilization is related by blood, albeit to varying degrees.

"It's strong, but the daily consumption of resources is truly terrifying. Thankfully it's open for expansion; otherwise, it would be another Xuanzhen Realm, no, not even Xuanzhen Realm is that frightening."

At least not everyone in the Xuanzhen Realm is a cultivator, but in the Xuandao Universe, everyone cultivates.

Still, there are differences between the two worlds. The Xuanzhen Realm is extracted forcefully, while the Xuandao Universe is sustainable. Due to its system, resources are not overly strained but are actually very abundant. As long as you work hard and strive to improve, you don't have to worry about being in deficit and dying.

Moreover, as one's strength improves, the more jobs one can take on, the higher the rewards, and the more resources they can exchange for.

"This is truly labor becoming sanctified."

Gu Shanhai's mind flickered; it seemed to be true. In the Xuandao Universe, if you work hard enough and continuously expand your network of friends and relatives, you really can work your way to being part of the world's elite.

Even though there's severe monopolization in the Xuandao Universe, the promotion paths are very well established.

The strength of an ordinary person truly depends on how hard they work.

Wanting to sever relations to refuse the feedback from the 'Blood Returning Technique' is close to impossible, but if you want kin and friends, that's very easy. Simply recruit online, and you can gain countless kin and friends; the act of recognizing heritage is enough to determine this.

"This universe, how should I put it, is really quite extraordinary."

From the information Gu Shanhai gathered, no one has yet reached the upper limit of the 'Blood Returning Technique.'

Even though this cultivation method is the most widespread and practiced by the most people, it doesn't mean its upper limit is low or its potential small. On the contrary, it's the only cultivation method in the Xuandao Universe that hasn't reached its limit and is proclaimed to have unlimited growth.

It's arguably the least valuable divine skill.

"Unfortunately, I'm not very suitable for cultivating it." Gu Shanhai sighed; he did want to cultivate it, but after probing with concepts, he found it completely ineffective.

He has no kin or friends, making him a true orphan in this world!

Little White doesn't count; it actually belongs to Gu Shanhai's derivative. As for the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers and the like, they're even less applicable; those things are part of himself.

"But with some modification, it's possible." Gu Shanhai squinted his eyes. It doesn't work in this world, but if he could harness the affinity of the Rebirth Lotus, it could have great effects.

In other worlds, he has many disciples and friends. Over the years, especially as his abilities have grown, the number of people who indirectly became connected to him has grown.

Take the Xuanzhen Realm as an example. Shen An takes disciples, then those disciples take disciples, branching out bit by bit. Coupled with his Evading Disaster Avoiding Tribulation Method and his status as a Supreme Elder, as the Xuanzhen Realm grows, it's filled with friends and relatives, though there are degrees of closeness, the lineage of passing down the teachings is undisturbed.

Other worlds are also similar, so he can summon quite a few incarnations now, but to Gu Shanhai, the number of useful incarnations is not that many.

If he could reuse them through the 'Blood Returning Technique,' then with the Rebirth Lotus as the core, could Gu Shanhai achieve the desired effect?

Of course, this is just a preliminary plan; the most important thing right now is to analyze the power of concepts.

With the 'Blood Returning Technique' as a sample, Gu Shanhai's analysis of concepts like heritage, bloodline, ancestors, and kinship made rapid progress, completing it in less than an hour.

Some other conceptual powers were involved, but they weren't as quickly analyzed.

The Xuandao Technique inherently utilizes the power of concepts; otherwise, how could it be integrated into a cultivation method and exert special effects?

With a reference, Gu Shanhai naturally analyzed it quickly. When comparing starting from nothing with having existing data, the speed is incomparable.

"So I need to gather corresponding Xuandao Techniques, which could be a bit difficult."

"More common techniques are easy to gather, but the more advanced ones might not be so simple."

Besides the 'Blood Returning Technique,' there are 'Battle Star Technique' and 'Ten Thousand Radiance Technique' derived from the power of constellations, and 'Wrath Technique' and 'Heart Erasure Technique' from the power of anger, etc. These singular techniques are more supplemental methods, essentially skill types used in combat, with most people primarily cultivating the 'Blood Returning Technique' and a few using other more common techniques as derivatives.

"The power of constellations really exists in this world, but sadly it's not Didor's synthesized formula version."

Through the 'Battle Star Technique,' Gu Shanhai gained a lot of constellation-related conceptual power and realized that solar and lunar conceptual powers can't synthesize into constellation conceptual power. Concepts can only be related, not synthesized.

For instance, this world contains longevity-related conceptual power similar to life conceptual power, which piqued Gu Shanhai's interest, though he didn't conduct further research.

Longevity-related Xuandao Techniques are quite special and not widely available, so finding a corresponding technique will take time.

"Such foundations, truly terrifying."

Gu Shanhai collected a lot of information through his spiritual sense but, out of caution, didn't gather those techniques formed by high-end conceptual power.

He's confident he could acquire them, but it might cause unexpected troubles, which is not good for him.

These techniques, which he's able to acquire, already cover a majority of conceptual powers.

This kind of technique other than the foundational and quite special 'Blood Returning Technique,' other Xuandao Techniques actually have low ceilings and potential, similar to the folk-known Golden Bell Shield Iron Cloth Shirt, primarily meant for common people to practice more, then work harder as resources fall short.

Otherwise, relying solely on the 'Blood Returning Technique,' what if some people just lie down due to ample resources?

Thus, the cultivation difficulty is not high, especially with the 'Blood Returning Technique' support, even cultivating other Xuandao Techniques can be incredibly fast, almost absurdly so.

In other worlds, one can hardly imagine an ordinary person with average root bone and comprehension cultivating faster than a talent, even making the talent despair.

"The person who created the 'Blood Returning Technique' is simply a genius."

Gu Shanhai found traces of the 'Blood Returning Technique' in other techniques. The rise of the Xuandao Universe is inseparably bound to this universally cultivated technique.

It forcibly bonded originally scattered hearts with heritage and bloodlines.

"Unfortunately, I haven't found out how the 'Blood Returning Technique' was created or who created it." Gu Shanhai felt some regret; this is most likely a secret, and he doesn't have easy access to it currently.

Gu Shanhai also didn't intend to figure out this issue now; rather, he's focusing on exploring the Xuandao Universe.
