Chapter 550: Chapter 301: High-Level World · Adventure King World

"I feel like I’m splitting apart," Gu Shanhai touched his face, which was continuously cracking and healing.

Now, he had reached the Heavenly Scenery Stage, having successfully cultivated the Spirit Vein in the previous world and broken through to the Heavenly Scenery Stage through the unification of the world’s wonders.

Normally, to cultivate a world’s wonder required great determination, and one must contend with it, gradually accommodating it through this tug-of-war process. However, the world’s wonder unified by Gu Shanhai was different; it was less like he imprinted upon it and more like it was a gift from Jiang Lu.

Thus, when integrating it into his body, not only was there no resistance, but it also fused very willingly.

It was like his own kin, unlike in the Xuanzhen Realm where it had to be seized by force.

"A world’s wonder indeed doesn’t need to be cultivated, but it does require more time," Gu Shanhai observed the Wuzhuang Temple and Longevity Mountain within him. Under the blessing of the world’s wonder, they continuously expanded and enhanced, constantly strengthening his physical body, mana, and soul.

As for his breakthrough Divine Skills in the Heavenly Scenery Stage, they naturally aligned with Qimen Dunjia, Taiyi Divine Number, and the methods of Liuren, collectively part of the comprehensive Purple Star Astrology series.

"Waiting for the world’s wonder to complete its expansion and transformation, it can become the Inner Scenery. Then, when my soul departs from the body, it can carry this wonder along."

"Now, my Spiritual Sense has also grown stronger, at least in terms of precision, far surpassing any scientific equipment at my disposal."

Gu Shanhai’s advancement wasn’t really based on the typical cultivation system but on his entire personal system.

"At the moment, it will take at least ten years for the world’s wonder to transform into the Inner Scenery," Gu Shanhai estimated.

For a normal world’s wonder to become the Inner Scenery, it would usually take at least a millennium. He was so much quicker because this unified world’s wonder was cooperating with his transformation.

It was like one was desperately resisting while the other was actively helping, the efficiency naturally much different.

"So the soul of the world also needs to be prepared, should I go back to the Xuanzhen Realm to get some?" Gu Shanhai pondered.

When it comes to the soul of the world, Gu Shanhai could also retrieve it from other worlds, provided he found a suitable one.

His gaze continuously wandered among the numerous high-tier worlds presented by "the First Era." Compared to returning to the Xuanzhen Realm, he preferred fetching it from other worlds.

The reason was simple; the soul of the world had evolved beyond a mere Spirit Vein and was genuinely integral to the world itself, hence it was tightly guarded and even if he could get some, the quality wouldn’t be very high.

The soul of the world Gu Shanhai sought might not reach the heights of the unified world’s wonder he possessed, but it could only be slightly inferior.

If the world’s wonder shaped the strength of the Inner Scenery, then the quality of the soul of the world would determine the strength of the Outer Scenery.

In the Cave Soul Stage, he could combine this Purple Mansion Spiritual Vein with the wonder to manifest it physically, providing both attack and defense capabilities and offering a place for cultivation.

It was akin to Gu Shanhai carrying a huge mountain. Setting other uses aside, it could be very handy for smashing people.

The strength of the Outer Scenery manifested was constructed by the soul of the world, meaning the better the soul of the world, the higher the potential and strength.

"Ah, there’s also the issue with my body, which can barely hold up at this stage," Gu Shanhai sighed as he scanned the high-tier worlds, occasionally sprouting a massive amount of plant roots, branches, or vines, fruits from his body.

He was deviating toward an indescribable direction in his cultivation journey. Although it was clear he was cultivating, his whole being had been plundered from the worlds, akin to the process of becoming a world.

Cultivators of the Xuanzhen Realm naturally did not have this problem because they solely focused on cultivation, unlike Gu Shanhai.

This time there was no explosion; it was thanks to the unified world’s wonder that cooperated smoothly, thus there was no triggering of a qualitative change.

Indeed, in Gu Shanhai’s eyes, this was not a weakening but a bolstering.

However, what could be delayed for a while cannot be postponed indefinitely. The Heavenly Scenery Stage might not change, but the Cave Soul Stage would definitely complete its transformation.

The later the transformation, the more prepared Gu Shanhai would be, and the better the effects post-transformation, hence the soul of the world also needed to be of sufficient quality.

"Eh? This world has emerged now? That’s right, the timing is almost right," Gu Shanhai’s moving gaze also paused.

He saw a high-tier world named Adventure King World. His mind quickly accessed the related memory.

This world was similar to the mid-tier realm, Hero World, which Gu Shanhai had visited before, both involving monster-slaying and leveling up. However, unlike the unfortunate heroes in the Hero World, the Adventure King World leaned more towards universal monster-slaying and leveling up.

This world had high towers and dungeons among other special arrangements where adventurers could receive divine blessings, possessing power akin to semi-data, and improve their strength by defeating monsters in high towers or dungeons, gaining various equipment and items.

It was the closest to a "First Era" player’s world. If there was any difference, it was that players could resurrect after death, while the natives of Adventure King World could not.

"The gods should be able to extract some top-quality soul of the world," Gu Shanhai’s eyes narrowed.
