Chapter 1192 - 1058: Gains from the East

Chapter 1192: Chapter 1058: Gains from the East

Qu Jianlei heard this and smiled bitterly, that was because under intense pain, I bit through my own tongue!

"Is this really...such an astonishing self-destruction above the Supreme?"

Granny Jia was most concerned not with the power of the fiery explosion, but with her boss’s injuries.

Qu Jianlei carefully performed an inner inspection and felt that aside from losing some spiritual power, there were no other major issues.

His complexion was still a bit pale, but he unexpectedly had the mind to joke.

"It turns out you can kill something above Supreme like this...I never thought there’d be such an easy method."

Granny Jia was not interested in this kind of joke and frowned.

"Boss, this is... didn’t we agree not to use water and fire attribute techniques?"

While experimenting with this physical shell, they made some discussions.

Both agreed that they couldn’t easily start projects with potential danger, such as fire and water attribute techniques.

Anyway, there were still gold, wood, and earth attributes to choose from, and since Qu Jianlei was originally attributeless, these techniques were all at his fingertips.

Qu Jianlei felt slightly wronged when he heard this.

"I was just testing the Golden Arrow Skill, initially unable to drive it, slightly increased the force, and it turned out this way."

Granny Jia frowned tightly upon hearing this, "What was... the cause?"

They had spent too much time on this physical shell, endured much hardship, and now it was all lost.

"Alright," Qu Jianlei revived his spirit, "It’s not that nothing was gained, I’ll take a few days to rest first."

Granny Jia feared he might take it too hard, knowing her boss’s temperament was somewhat stubborn.

"It’s nothing serious, if all fails, we’ll capture another Supreme for testing!"

Supremes are not like cabbages, right? Qu Jianlei forced a smile, "I am not lying to you, there really were some gains."

This time, he rested for a full three days, and upon reappearing, his condition had improved significantly.

Granny Jia, who had been constantly worried, felt somewhat reassured seeing this, "Any gains?"

"Some," Qu Jianlei replied with a smile, "I finally have some understanding of how to walk the path above the Supreme."

While researching the control of that shell, he had meticulously perceived each part step by step.

His familiarity with the physical condition of this person was second only to the original owner.

Therefore, he already had a rough outline and thought process on how the person had advanced to the Supreme, but it wasn’t yet very clear.

Until the self-destruction three days ago.

The shell was completely destroyed, his divine sense suffered, but simultaneously, a vast amount of information was received in his mind.

It was not the presence of a residual soul, but memories sealed in various parts of the body.

Just like the so-called muscle memory, including but not limited to muscles, bones, meridians...

This is a very magical feeling, Qu Jianlei didn’t know there was such a wondrous presence in the human body.

However, generally speaking, he felt this experience couldn’t exist in ordinary people.

That is, because the other was above the Supreme, possessing some profound mysteries others did not.

For example, legends on Blue Star speak of a "Light of Immortal Fall" or similar phenomena occurring when those great powers fell.

Greater powers falling might even cause phenomena such as bloody rain descending or the heavens and earth mourning together.

The underlying theoretical logic was that great powers extracted too much of the earth’s essence, returning to the heavens upon their fall.

Precisely for this reason, this shell’s parts preserved certain memories, making it understandable.

This belongs to the realm of metaphysics, Qu Jianlei couldn’t judge if his understanding was correct.

Yet undoubtedly, after absorbing these memories, he truly understood the logic and experience of this person’s impact on the Supreme.

It wasn’t a full active absorption, but the body doesn’t lie.

Upon hearing this, Granny Jia’s brows raised abruptly, eagerly asking, "Are you sure?"

She was well aware that all along, the boss has been calculating how to impact the Supreme.

Not just for himself, but for the team, and she was deeply anticipating the boss’s calculation results.

Granny Jia ultimately had attempted to impact the Supreme once, essentially dying once.

Supposedly, she already reserved some experience, and summarized some mistakes to avoid, increasing assurance on a second try.

But she’s unwilling to gamble, not just due to the failure of this body once, but because she’s somewhat psychologically scarred.

Meanwhile, like other team members, she had an almost blind trust in the boss.

If conditions allow, she’d rather wait until a more complete advancement path is calculated by the boss.

Of course, if she truly can’t hold on, she’d have to gamble once, for now, she can still wait a bit longer.

Now hearing the boss achieved such gains, she was genuinely overjoyed.

Qu Jianlei chuckled and nodded, losing one thing but gaining another, this improved his mood.

Ultimately, the shell was just a vessel, without it, they can find another, and the Clone Skill can still be cultivated.

But the path to transcendence above supreme is not something that can be found easily; others’ insights might not be suitable for him.

The benefits this time are not only his comprehension of the awakening to transcend beyond supreme but also greatly aid the cultivation system.

He has explored the specific framework for breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Regarding the path to Nascent Soul, Qu Jianlei had performed numerous calculations before, having a general direction, but the details were quite vague.

This time, what he gained most were the details and insights, and the entire cultivation framework became clear.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be results in about a year or two; if I can wait a few more years, I can break through first."

"Is it really... so miraculous?" Rarely, the usually composed Granny Jia was stuttering in her speech.

"Listen to my careful analysis," Qu Jianlei explained the detailed situation, including his thoughts on these gains.

He even shared his speculation about "giving back to the world."

For him, the reason is simple: Cultivation speaks of companions and resources, and fellow cultivators are the companions.

Companions must support each other to go further; this is not the time to be selfish.

After listening, Granny Jia looked at him without speaking for a long time, eventually asking a question.

"World retaliation and feedback... these ideas, did you get them from your family’s inheritance?"

It was evident that she had been suspicious of Qu Jianlei’s inheritance for a long time but had deliberately held back.

Now she couldn’t hold it back anymore, nor could she.

Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I heard about retaliation from others, feedback... is that the conservation in energy transformation?"

He didn’t speak the truth, but he believes this is also the logic of the cultivation system—mysticism cannot be completely devoid of logic.

Granny Jia pondered for a moment and finally stopped dwelling on the source, "Just borrowing from a single individual, might the sample size be a bit small?"

Qu Jianlei’s mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this, "Do you think more samples are realistic?"

"Even with references to other individuals, it only saves some calculation time, not fundamentally different."

There are certainly some differences.

But compared to capturing transcendence above supreme, Qu Jianlei thinks these small difficulties can be overcome entirely.

Granny Jia thought for a moment and then asked another question, "In your understanding, how should transcendence above supreme be called?"

Qu Jianlei paused before replying in a deep voice, "That’s just a name, not important, maybe... Nascent Soul?"

Granny Jia’s eyes instantly became bright, almost shining, "Surely it’s the Primordial Warrior’s inheritance!"

She was so excited that she rubbed her hands together, pacing back and forth.

Qu Jianlei found it a bit strange, "You have a different understanding of these rumors?"

Granny Jia answered casually, "I was fortunate to know some secrets, but they cannot be shown lightly,"

Qu Jianlei looked at her wordlessly for a long time before speaking, "Still inconvenient now?"

Secrets should be kept in context, shouldn’t they? If this continues, we won’t be able to have in-depth communication.

"Alas," Granny Jia sighed lightly, "This is recorded from the Primordial Warrior, classified as top secret by the Imperial, many people died."

"The key is, I don’t know much, just a few words."

Qu Jianlei blinked, "Then I won’t trouble you, what’s the realm above Nascent Soul?"

Granny Jia hesitated for a while before speaking, "Seems hard to pronounce... Soul Departure?"

Qu Jianlei raised his hand to touch his forehead, not speaking for a long time.

Finally, he stated, "Then what do you know about Nascent Soul advancement?"

Granny Jia’s eyes suddenly revealed a playful glint, "I only know the Golden Core requires crossing the Thunder Tribulation..."

This statement clearly has implications, though she really doesn’t know much.

"This information isn’t particularly secret, but I truly don’t know about Nascent Soul, otherwise, it wouldn’t have failed."

"Tsk," Qu Jianlei clicked his tongue in regret, evident disappointment in his eyes.

But within a few seconds, he returned to normal, "Alright, let’s not talk about them, if there’s no path, then carve out one."

Next, Qu Jianlei elaborated on the information obtained from those body memories.

Granny Jia listened attentively, occasionally interrupting and presenting her views.

This exchange did not last long, only about two hours, as Qu Jianlei’s divine soul had just been injured.

The next day, their exchange continued, and this time it lasted a bit longer.

After several days of such exchanges, at one point, Qu Jianlei seemed noticeably distracted.

Granny Jia, being very perceptive, quickly noticed something was amiss, "Did something happen?"

Qu Jianlei didn’t want to hide from her, as the longer they spend together, many things cannot be hidden; it only increases the gap.

"The Omen Ship is coming."

Granny Jia didn’t ask him how he knew, she just frowned slightly, "Is it... trouble?"
