King of Assassins-Chapter 916 - 646: A True Man (2)

Therefore, almost no cultivator would choose to cultivate the Five Elements simultaneously. The more complex the rune seed, the harder it is to develop. Moreover, the rune seeds interfere with each other.

The cultivation system is too vast and complex. While it is beneficial to be inclusive, human energy and talent are limited; it is impossible to be strong in all aspects.

Finding one's strengths and breaking through them is the path to achievement.

Just like an Olympic champion, a decathlon champion can never be stronger than a champion in a single track and field event.

Balance means having no eminent strengths.

Only by choosing the best path can a cultivator reach the peak.

Simultaneously cultivating the Five Elements means walking a path five times when others only walk it once. In cultivation, this is even more complex and troublesome than walking the path five times.

The cultivation system has been established over a millennium, refined through the practice of countless cultivators, with rich experiences summarized to form a complete cultivation system.

Within the framework of this cultivation system, the standards for evaluating the grades of the Golden Core are also fixed.

Most paladins actually follow the Divine Power Rune Seed route.

Facts have proven that the Divine Power Rune Seed is the easiest to reach High Tier, Super Tier, and Divine Level.

Achievements have been made through other Source Power routes as well, though the proportion is relatively low. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

There are only a handful of powerhouses who have achieved success with dual Source Power seed cultivation. Only one person has achieved Super Tier with triple Source Power seed cultivation.

Super-tier powerhouses can freely harness various Source Power not because they cultivate each system but because their power has reached a peak, naturally commanding various Source Power.

From the beginning of his cultivation, Gao Xuan chose a path different from others.

He relied on his strong and pure Divine Soul to forcibly and perfectly fuse the Five Elements Rune Seeds.

Only at this Golden Core stage does he need to look and reflect further to see if he can directly condense a Super-grade Golden Core.

Condensing a Golden Core to directly reach Super-grade means leaping from Foundation Establishment directly to the Golden Level. This leap is too significant.

Theoretically possible, but in a millennium, despite numerous geniuses, no one has achieved this step.

In fact, there are only four cultivators who have condensed a First-grade Golden Core.

One of them is the current Holy Hall Master, Wood Origin. Known as the Son of Green Wood, he possesses unparalleled talent in Wood Elemental Source Power.

At three, he shared the breath, and at seven, established the Foundation. At twenty-seven, he refined a First-grade Golden Core, astounding the entire Alliance.

Within a hundred years, Wood Origin swept across the Star River, claiming invincibility.

Now, he is justifiably the number one powerhouse. Because of Wood Origin's rise, the once relatively weak Mu Family has become extremely powerful, now subtly poised as the top noble family in the Alliance.

The other three are also Purple Belt Saints, part of the Twelve Apostles. This illustrates the strength of a First-grade Golden Core.

Gao Xuan, now, can't say for sure, but he is quite confident in forming a First-grade Golden Core. However, with his millennial rebirth, his pursuit is not just the peak but surpassing the peak.

In his eyes, the current Alliance and Holy Hall aren't worthy opponents. This younger generation only counts as a nuisance.

His enemy is the Ksitigarbha King, the divines of a higher level across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Gao Xuan possesses this ambition and vision, but ambition and vision alone are insufficient; he also needs a realistic foundation.

Yuan Youyuan is unaware of Gao Xuan's thoughts; after spending a year on Xianyang Star, she wants to travel.

This overly comfortable life has left her feeling somewhat bored.

She said, "A few days ago, Shui Yunhao invited us to carry out a mission. He said it was in the Sea Emperor Star Realm, where there was a sudden outbreak of Evil God activity causing significant damage. His sister was tasked with investigating..."

"His sister? Shui Yunlan?"

Gao Xuan had meals with Shui Yunhao a few times, not calling him a friend, but they were familiar.

Shui Yunhao, a typical noble youth, inherently proud but generous and friendly, enjoyed boasting yet enlivened the atmosphere, making him well-liked among the current trainees.

Because Shui Yunhao liked to boast, everyone knew he had an impressive sister, Shui Yunlan.

Shui Yunlan is a Level 9 Investigator, just one step away from a Golden Emblem Investigator. In terms of ability and position, she far surpasses Shui Yunling.

However, in terms of lineage, they are a layer apart. The current Patriarch is Shui Yunling's direct grandfather, while Shui Yunhao and Shui Yunlan can only call him granduncle. This difference in lineage creates a significant gap.

In such a large noble family, only one line is truly the direct lineage. Beyond this, no matter how close, others are not of the direct line.

With a layer of lineage difference, Shui Yunlan had to work ten times harder. Despite this, her status in the Shui Family still falls short of Shui Yunling.

Fortunately, Shui Yunling died, leaving a position vacant and removing the greatest competitor. This year, Shui Yunlan quickly stood out.

Now, she is already able to independently lead an investigation team.

Yuan Youyuan said, "Shui Yunhao said there would be a high points reward this time..."

"Sea Emperor Star Realm..."

Gao Xuan was quite contemplative upon hearing this name; both Hercules and Helen vanished, leaving no trace.

It's unknown if they fled or what happened. Anyway, the information is entirely sealed.

A thousand years have changed everything. There is no related information on the Celestial Net.

Gao Xuan has never searched for information on the two. With Nuwa's control over the Celestial Net, such keywords would immediately trigger her alarm.

He is emerging quickly now, but in the thousand-year history, it amounts to nothing.

Over the millennia, the lower tiers have produced numerous extraordinary talents. There are even two among the Twelve Apostles now who rose from the lowest ranks.
