Chapter 1706: Chapter 145: Improvement

All the principles of the human world are temporal.

What is treated as truth at one stage may fade over time.

The only constant is change, a statement full of logical contradiction yet perfectly capturing the essence of everything in the world.

Like ancient people who thought the stars were eternal and unchanging, simply moving according to some rules. When astronomers linked these changes to life, they endowed the stars with a mystical quality, leading everyone to believe that the stars were the eyes of gods.

But when a half-star was plucked from the Divine Court, all the beliefs of those astronomers collapsed.

As someone who has aimed to climb the heights of martial arts since childhood, Tang Luo never feared the complexities of research.

Adapting to environments and times, with the sole purpose of becoming stronger, and as for the means to that end, all methods are permissible.

Spirit cultivation is possible, physical cultivation is possible, tool cultivation is possible, Formation Cultivator is possible, meditation is also possible.

To others, Tang Luo might seem like a cultivator without any aspirations, but he does not see himself that way.

In his view, all the so-called methods of cultivation are just superficial appearances; the essence is the development and utilization of Spiritual Power.

Only by not restricting oneself to a particular school can one gather all their strengths and achieve the highest state of Spiritual Power development.

Thus, from strength improvement plan 1.0 to the current 7.0, from spirit cultivation to physical cultivation, and then to the research of Void Energy, all these are serving the same purpose. Isn’t that consistent?

It is because of this understanding that sometimes, when Tang Luo is filling in the details of his plan, a particular image would suddenly pass through his mind.

A simple wooden desk and paper. He bends over the desk, writing phonetics that only he understands. The Arabic numerals above have turned into a large number, and his power naturally improves continuously with this progressing plan.

Sometimes, just thinking about this scene can make Tang Luo feel peaceful inside, and even vaguely looking forward to it.

He feels that he has found that unchanging "one" in the path of martial arts, where he can stay calm no matter what he faces in the future.

But now he suddenly realizes that this "one" can no longer help him continue moving forward.

It’s like a cup that has already been filled. Unless the contents inside are poured out or the container is made larger, it can no longer hold new content.

If it were someone else, they would probably choose to expand the container, which is what cultivation refers to as an epiphany.

An epiphany is a process of widening one’s vision, broadening one’s mind, and expanding one’s awareness. Only cultivators who go through this process several times have new capacity to accommodate the fresh contents on their path to kingship.

But Tang Luo has another option, which is to seal all Spiritual Power into the star seeds and then forget about the cultivation altogether, trying to live again from the perspective of a sphere.

"So not only do you want to seal the memory of Spiritual Power cultivation, but you also want to perform a god-making plan on you?"

Yun Xiu rested her forehead in her hand, her face full of confusion and struggle as she did not understand the demands her husband, who had just returned, was making: "Just a trip to Zhongzhou, why do you want to become a sphere?!"

"No no no, not just an ordinary sphere."

Tang Luo waved his hands continuously, earnestly saying: "A sphere with the memories of a previous life and great aspirations!"

"..."

Unsure how to respond, Yun Xiu fell silent for a while, then murmured: "No matter the aspirations, isn’t it still a sphere."

"Eh~ How can it be the same."

Tang Luo shook his finger, and then pointing to the sky, proudly said: "Spheres are like people, seemingly no different, but actually worlds apart.

Some spheres get trampled underfoot, while others ascend and eventually break through boundaries to soar into the skies, becoming shining stars at certain points in the heavens. After countless years of absorption and growth—ultimately becoming an entire world!"

"...this kind of thing... this kind of thing."

Perhaps what Tang Luo said was so absurd that Yun Xiu didn’t even know from what angle to refute it, so she could only helplessly shake her head with a mix of laughter and tears.

"Really, right now only you can help me, please please~~"

Tang Luo stepped forward, grabbed Yun Xiu’s arm gently shaking it, speaking in a soft and delicate tone.

As the saying goes, nothing affects one more than seeing a tough man cry, or a straightforward man acting coquettishly. Caught off guard, Yun Xiu felt an electric shock through her body, with goosebumps all over.

"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you."

Unable to stand Tang Luo’s sweet tone, Yun Xiu quickly withdrew her hand and took a while to regain her composure before saying, "How would you like me to cooperate?"

"Hehe, very simple!"

Tang Luo, flashing a broad white smile and a thumbs up, said, "We’ll redesign a set of memories, about an ordinary noble young master who accidentally gets killed during a duel, then he wakes up to find himself transformed into a big ball on the top of a mountain, retaining only basic consciousness, unable to move or speak. Then there also needs to be a command-like voice warning him that if he doesn’t find a method to reincarnate as a world within two years, his consciousness will be erased! That’s basically it; see if there’s anything you want to add?"

"..."

As soon as the words ended, silence followed again.

It was already beyond Yun Xiu’s bottom line to fabricate memories for the god creation plan, and hearing this now was even more unbelievable.

She even started to doubt herself inexplicably, indeed, her clan was right, having Charming Eyes was truly a waste on her, if her own husband awakened such a bloodline...

No no no, that would be terrifying!

Yun Xiu quickly shook her head to dispel that frightening thought, then looked straight at Tang Luo, opening and closing her hand several times, her mind in turmoil.

"What’s wrong, is there something on my forehead?"

Tang Luo, after finishing talking about the grand plan and not hearing any response, looked down at his wife who was staring at him dumbfounded, touched the forehead focused by her gaze, and asked in confusion, "There’s nothing there, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing... I just feel, having this bloodline awaken in me, it’s wasted."

With an expressionless face and a flat tone, Yun Xiu said solemnly, "But given your astonishing Spiritual Power and wisdom, husband, even if I fabricate such memories, it won’t take long for you to see through it.

Moreover, during the period of invoking Void Energy to forge the body, husband’s body has already developed a great resistance to the Charming Eyes, trying to hypnotize and implant false memories would be very difficult, I’m afraid."

"There are always more ways than difficulties."

Tang Luo waved his hand with a smile and said, "But there’s one thing you must remember, the fact that I’m being a sphere on the mountain, you mustn’t disclose it to anyone. Then, check on it every few days and if there’s still no improvement after two years, you help awaken the sealed memories."

"Then... what counts as improvement?"

Yun Xiu, unsure about the criteria for improvement, hence asked.

"Improvement, well..."

Tang Luo hemmed and hawed, failing to come up with a reasonable answer, then he summoned the soul of the black sphere into his palm, saying, "Madam, you see, now my soul is like this, when you come up the mountain to check, observe it to see if there has been any change, if there has, that’s improvement!"
