Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#649 - The “Planet” Concept

"Mom~ I seem to have encountered some problems in my cultivation."

As soon as the message was sent, a spatial passage appeared in front of Liang Yue in just a few seconds.

The other side of the passage was the cliff top of the mountain where he had last met his mother.

Now, under the torrent of time, thousands of years have quietly passed. The peach tree growing on the side of the mountain rock appears even more gnarled, covered with ravines, its branches and leaves emerald green, full of vibrant vitality.

Peach fruits, each the size of a bowl, hang on the branches, crystal clear and jade-like, with a delicate and enchanting appearance that makes people want to take a bite.

Beneath the verdant branches, a fairy-like mother is sitting cross-legged beside a stone table, wearing a high-collared, wide-sleeved ancient costume.

I don't know when, but she has changed into an ancient costume~

After not seeing her for so long, the person is still the same, but her temperament seems even more ethereal.

Stepping into it, Liang Yue frowned slightly at this time, and walked to the opposite side of the stone table in a few strides.

"What's wrong?"

Mom picked up the teacup at this time and poured him a cup of tea, asking calmly.

"I just feel that my cultivation has been increasing too fast. It's only been a few days. In the blink of an eye, I've already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Liang Yue moved his body back on his own, then stretched out his arms and asked.

"Hmm~ Let me see… The Golden Core is solid, with a divine spirit inside, and the Dao patterns are complete. It is indeed a sign of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. It's normal~"

After Mom glanced at his dantian, she picked up the tea in front of her, took a sip, and said with a calm and indifferent look.

"Is this still normal? Over here… it's only been a little over a month since I returned last time. After entering the Golden Core stage, I've only cultivated for three or four years in total.

Most of the time in between, I didn't even have time to put in much effort. Yet, I've already reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Its level is high and its effect is extraordinary. Even if you have just started, it can greatly increase a person's cultivation."

As she spoke, Mom paused and put the tea in her hand back on the stone table.

Seeing this, Liang Yue quickly picked up the small kettle next to him and refilled it for her, looking eager to learn…

"You are only at the Golden Core stage now. In the vast universe, you can only be regarded as just entering the world of cultivation. With the blessing of the Great Art of Cosmic Fortune Transformation, you can naturally obtain many benefits that ordinary people cannot imagine.

Regarding this point, what do you think?"

"I just feel that since I constructed that Qi-absorbing Lotus, at least before leaving the realm of mortals and becoming an immortal master, I probably don't need to worry about cultivation resources anymore."

Liang Yue replied without thinking when he heard this.

"That Great Art of Cosmic Fortune Transformation can indeed break through the void in the area around you, and then draw energy and matter from different spaces, smooth it out and classify it, and then absorb it into your body.

Its levels are rich and its categories are complex. It can greatly improve your spiritual power level. However, in this case, the speed of your own cultivation also has a certain element of luck."

"Luck? What do you mean?"

"It depends on the location of your cultivation place, or rather, the spatial coordinates. When you run the Great Art of Cosmic Fortune Transformation, the spatial world broken through by the Qi-absorbing Lotus with you as the origin is not constant.

If your luck is bad, you may be connected to several worlds that are in the Age of Dharma Decline. The resources there are scarce, and the energy level is extremely low. Cultivating at this time is of little benefit.

But if your luck is good, and you find a few places mixed with high-level energy, you will see the situation you are in now."

"This… doesn't that mean that my future cultivation will still have to bear some risks? What if I connect to some strange places."

"The Great Art of Cosmic Fortune Transformation is not that simple. You can comprehend it yourself later if you can continue to improve it. Compared to these, I am very curious about what you plan to do next."

As she spoke, Mom suddenly changed the subject, and looked at him with a pair of big eyes that seemed to be able to talk.

"What to do next? Mom, are you talking about advancing to the Nascent Soul stage?"

"Hmm~"

"Regarding this, I probably already have two ideas. Well, speaking of which, after reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, the next realm doesn't necessarily have to be shattering the core to form the soul, right?"

"Indeed, shattering the core to form the soul is just a relatively safe path to advancement in the myriad worlds, but it is not the only one. It depends on your own choice."

"That's good! As for my future cultivation, I have actually made a lot of predictions~"

As he spoke, Liang Yue began to combine some of his previous inspirations and small ideas, and explained his plans to his mother opposite him.

Adhering to the principle that what suits you best is the best, Liang Yue has never stopped planning and thinking about his own cultivation path since he started on the path of creating his own techniques.

Whether it is some occasional sparks of inspiration that emerge from his heart, or the essence extracted from some fantasy novels in his previous life.

Or~ some signs that he observed in his own cultivation process.

All in all, as long as there are perspectives and ideas that are beneficial to his future cultivation and technique creation, this guy will secretly record them in his little notebook.

After a period of picking and choosing, summarizing, Liang Yue's ideas about the realm of shattering the core to form the soul are only two.

The first is a scene he observed when he passed through the Heavenly Tribulation and successfully condensed the Golden Core.

The dry Golden Core was covered with ravines and was on the verge of collapse.

In the depths of the ravines, there were patches of magma emitting terrifying heat, roasting the entire Golden Core from the inside.

The pond water containing a massive amount of vitality was being transformed into a large amount of rain under Liang Yue's control, scattering from the sky like a torrential downpour.

In addition, on the outside of the Golden Core, there were turbulent tribulation clouds surging, constantly stimulating lightning and thunder, constantly striking down with the rain…

This was originally a scene in his dantian when the Golden Core was completely condensed and quickly stabilized, but when Liang Yue observed this at the time, he inexplicably associated it with Earth.

According to his idea, the Earth must have gone through such a period before it was completely formed and gave birth to life.

Verifying each other, as long as he regards the wood-attribute Golden Core in his dantian as the main body of the Earth.

The fire-attribute power is internalized as the Earth's core magma.

The water vapor energy in the dantian pond is regarded as the atmosphere, and after colliding with each other to form raindrops, it can form rivers, lakes and seas, nourishing the Golden Core sphere.

The Heavenly Tribulation thunderclouds that he had foolishly absorbed into his body can be regarded as a catalyst for the birth of life.

As long as such a layout is in place, a "planet" existing within his dantian will be born.

Although, for a considerable period of time, it may only be a fake.

But as long as he follows the template of the planet and digs deeper step by step, as time goes by, miracles will always be born.

After all, his Golden Core is mainly composed of wood-attribute spiritual power, full of vitality and with its own spiritual rhyme!

Next to it, there is also the pond energy that is richer in vitality to assist, constantly nourishing the Golden Core sphere.

Under such conditions, it seems to be more reliable and more suitable for the birth of life than the pure soil ball plus H2O combination of the real Earth.

In addition, the magma inside the "planet" and the lightning outside also have their own attributes.

In Liang Yue's opinion, as long as he follows this path, sooner or later, some kind of magical power belonging to him will naturally be born!
