Chapter 47: The Feasibility of Creating Techniques in the Void God Realm
"Azure Emperor? How bold of this person to actually use 'Emperor' as a title..."
The onlookers were taken aback.
They looked at Fang Han in utter shock, as bearing the title of Emperor was a major taboo.
Those who dared to style themselves as emperors would trigger mysterious karmic retribution and suffer punishments from the heavens and the earth.
For Fang Han to dare call himself an emperor meant he was either ignorant to the extreme or arrogant to the extreme.
This was even more arrogant than calling oneself an "Immortal."
Shi Jian was aware of the taboos of the Perfect World, but he did not care in the least.
The members of the chat group were anomalies to begin with, and since the chat group possessed built-in shielding functions, its members were essentially immune to any kind of karma.
Even if Fang Han and the others used "Emperor" as their titles, it would be difficult for them to trigger the taboos of this world.
The taboos in this world concerning the Heavenly Court and the title of "Emperor" had been set by Cang, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
The Heavenly Dao of this world hadn't even detected Fang Han and these other extraterrestrial celestial demons, let alone a taboo set merely by a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
...
After Fang Han broke the records, Lin Dong and Yang Qi broke them as well, one after another.
Lin Dong broke the record for the most powerful offensive capability, while Yang Qi broke the record for explosive power.
They each left behind their own "titles."
The White Emperor and the Black Emperor!
The entire Void God Realm was completely shaken. In a single day, the records within the Void God Realm had been broken multiple times in succession.
On top of that, someone had violated ancient taboos by adopting the title of Emperor.
A series of events caused the fragile hearts of the people in the Initial Place to thump wildly in their chests.
Yet Shi Jian and the others, the masterminds behind it all, were completely unfazed by the outside commotion.
They bypassed the ever-growing crowds around them and ran off to explore other parts of the Void God Realm.
The group had originally intended to head towards higher-level blessed lands with spiritual caves, but due to Meng Qi's low strength, the idea was temporarily shelved.
For several consecutive days, everyone enjoyed the wonders of this "virtual world" in the Initial Place.
In addition to that, they challenged various other records in the Void God Realm.
Records for extreme speed, records for ultimate defense...
In any case, the Void God Realm had accumulated countless records over its long history.
Among these records, there were no shortage of utterly bizarre ones.
Even the original protagonist Little Budian breaking the Void God Realm's transmission channels had been recorded, which gave one an idea of just how absurd the Void God Realm could be when it came to record-keeping.
However, bizarre as these records were, one truly couldn't achieve them without a certain level of strength.
After playing in the Void God Realm for several days in this manner, the group finally left the realm with a sense of satisfaction.
Departing the Initial Place, they returned to the initial ruins, where Willow Deity opened a portal and guided everyone's spiritual consciousness back into their physical bodies.
"This Void God Realm is simply amazing... I completely cannot feel any difference between it and reality!"
Back in reality, Xiao Yan clenched his fists and then spoke with a look of excitement.
His sensations in reality felt no different from those in the Void God Realm.
Both possessed that genuine sense of control over his physical body.
The Void God Realm was a completely one-hundred-percent realistic simulation.
This was truly miraculous.
"What's even more precious is that all the insights I gain in the Void God Realm will be fed back into my physical body. This place is indeed a holy land for cultivation!"
Fang Han chimed in as well.
The greatest advantage of cultivating in the Void God Realm was not having to worry about death.
He could go all out and conduct all kinds of simulated training.
"The greatest utility of the Void God Realm lies in fusing techniques and creating paths!"
Yan, standing to the side, pointed out the Void God Realm's greatest value to the group.
Fang Han and his companions were all individuals of heaven-defying talent, destined to forge their own paths in the future.
To forge one's own path, creating techniques was an absolute necessity.
The chat group possessed a multitude of supreme divine arts, but human energy was limited, and the group could not possibly cultivate all of them.
They had each selected only a portion of these techniques to practice.
Cultivating in this manner could lay a solid foundation for them.
However, if they wanted to attain the realm of Supremacy and reach the Other Shore, they would have to gather the strengths of a hundred schools of thought from the chat group's techniques, create their unique divine arts, and walk their own paths.
Only in this way could they transcend and remain unconstrained by any single cultivation system.
Yet, creating a path was extraordinarily difficult.
Geniuses in various worlds who created paths only gathered the strengths of a hundred schools of thought based on a single cultivation system before forging their own ways.
The people in the chat group, however, needed to gather the strengths of a hundred schools of thought across *multiple* different cultivation systems to forge their paths.
The former simply integrated the powerful aspects of other people's techniques into their own, while the latter integrated the powerful aspects of *entirely different cultivation systems* into their practice...
This process was unimaginably arduous.
The philosophies of various cultivation systems differed, and their conceptual frameworks for cultivation were also distinct.
Meridians, dantians, seas of Qi—these were all sensitive areas of the human body.
The slightest carelessness during cultivation could lead to a deviation into madness and demonic possession.
The existence of the Void God Realm perfectly resolved this flaw.
Within the Void God Realm, everyone could boldly experiment with cultivation techniques from other worlds.
Furthermore, the Void God Realm could perfectly simulate the state of their physical bodies.
Even if they died, it would merely result in damage to their divine souls.
With Yan and Elder Yao around, damage to the divine soul was nothing more than a minor injury.
The Void God Realm allowed the members of the chat group to embark on the path of "path creation" ahead of schedule.
Yan shared this crucial insight with everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded.
None of them expected that Yan would have considered things on such a profound level.
As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.
They had only just determined their cultivation direction, yet Yan was already considering their future path to Supremacy!
After hearing Yan's thoughts, Shi Jian could not help but sigh inwardly at the far-reaching vision of this fellow.
Actually, he had also considered this matter.
Although the worlds of the group members could all be considered Great Chiliocosms, there were still differences between them.
The world levels of Xiao Yan and Lin Dong were far lower than those of Fang Han and Yang Qi.
In the future, even if the two of them achieved the Realm of Rulers within their own worlds, their strength still wouldn't match the top powerhouses from the worlds of the others.
By that time, if they wanted to advance further, they would inevitably have to borrow the cultivation systems of other worlds.
In other words, they would need to create paths!
It was just that Shi Jian had thought this was something to be considered much later on.
He hadn't expected Yan to introduce them to this aspect of cultivation right now.
"What Yan said is correct. We do need to forge our own paths... Especially you, Xiao Yan, and Lin Dong. The world levels of the two of you cannot compare to those of the others!"
Shi Jian voiced his agreement with Yan, looking toward Lin Dong and Xiao Yan:
"Even if the cultivation systems in your worlds are pursued to their absolute limits, they can at best rival the first-rate powerhouses in the worlds of Fang Han and Yang Qi, and cannot be considered top-tier!"
"If you want to advance further, you must create your own paths!"
Rome wasn't built in a day, and starting path creation early would be beneficial for everyone.
This path creation didn't mean making them directly invent a brand-new cultivation system.
The group's current strength was still far too removed from that level.
However, they could first attempt to create some cultivation techniques and divine abilities.
With their current strength and vision, creating some martial arts manuals from Meng Qi's world or Yellow-grade techniques from Xiao Yan's world was not a problem at all.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Lin Dong nodded solemnly, realizing the importance of this matter to them.
Standing nearby, Willow Deity listened to the group discussing such monumental matters as if no one else was around, feeling utterly dumbfounded.
Could it be that... it had discovered some kind of secret?
