Chapter 1425: Chapter 560 Spiritual Power Cultivation Method_2 Chapter 1425: Chapter 560 Spiritual Power Cultivation Method_2 If Earth truly was the World of Cultivation from the past, new questions arise. From Xuanhuangzi’s records, Yan Fei found that the people of the World of Cultivation could enter the Cosmic Starry Sky on their own, and when facing the vanguard of a High-Tech Civilization, they could easily kill their opponents. Cultivation Experts of such caliber require vast resources to be nurtured. Considering Earth’s resources, which are hardly abundant, even raising a single Cultivation Expert would be difficult, let alone a multitude of them.

The World of Cultivation had developed for over ten thousand years and had even ventured into the Cosmic Starry Sky. Yet, whether on Earth or on other planets in the Solar System, no traces of activities from a Cultivation Civilization have been found. For a species capable of cosmic expansion, would they really overlook the planets right at their doorstep?

If the Solar System was the battlefield between the two factions, then the war must have been cataclysmic. However, aside from the numerous meteorites in an asteroid, there are no signs of a great war on the other planets within the Solar System.

Moreover, the World of Cultivation, capable of countering a High-Tech Civilization for nearly a thousand years and even able to create Cave Heaven Paradises with Spatial Technology, demonstrates that they possessed incredible power. They could surely have transformed the planet they inhabited, leaving behind vast constructions. But now there is not the slightest trace of any modifications on Earth, nor any large structures possibly used by Cultivators, so the World of Cultivation may not be Earth after all…

Unable to discern whether Earth is indeed the World of Cultivation, Yan Fei simply stops obsessing over it and turns his attention to another question: which is stronger, the Cultivation Civilization or the Technological Civilization? Originally, Yan Fei had no definitive answer to this question, but he found a conclusion in the text left on the Xuanhuangzi Stone Stele. When two civilizations of Cultivation and Technology, of similar Strength, engage in all-out war, and without considering strategic factors, the Technological Civilization will gradually gain an advantageous position.

Technological Civilizations rely mainly on High-Tech Equipment for combat; individual Strength required to operate such equipment is not very high. With a few decades of rigorous training, an ordinary person can master the operation of High-Tech Equipment. Then, this ordinary person can join the Army and undertake various combat tasks. From this perspective, the potential of a Technological Civilization’s Army is tremendous. Even if they suffer heavy losses at the start, as long as their Production Capacity is not weakened and they still have a sufficient population base, they can quickly recover their Combat Power and could even grow stronger from the battle.

The World of Cultivation emphasizes individual combat ability, their high-end Martial Force consisting of powerful Cultivation Experts. However, the training of each Cultivation Expert is incredibly difficult, not only are strict requirements placed on personal innate abilities but the growth of each Cultivator also demands a vast accumulation of resources. Even so, the time it takes for a high-level Cultivator to fully mature is very lengthy, and therefore cultivating each Cultivator is extremely challenging.

Although the World of Cultivation initially had the upper hand in the war, killing many from the High-Tech Civilization Army, they too suffered casualties. As the war entered a stalemate, the Army of the High-Tech Civilization came in an unending stream, while the World of Cultivation saw its Experts dying one by one, leading to gaps in their Strength. The lack of potential in the World of Cultivation was glaringly obvious, rendering them without any chance of victory against the Technological Civilization. In the end, as power shifted between them, the High-Tech Civilization completely surrounded the World of Cultivation and erased it from the Universe.

If Earth was truly the battleground for both parties, then where did the victorious High-Tech Civilization go after the war? Considering that Earth’s resources do not seem to have diminished and other planets within the Solar System appear undeveloped, could it be that after fighting a war for nearly a thousand years, the High-Tech Civilization left Earth without taking any spoils of war?

Having only read the Oracle Bone Script content on the first Stone Stele, Yan Fei was greatly shaken. The content of the stele even changed his worldview, leading him to reassess the Space above and gradually uncover some of the true secrets of this World.

Filled with doubts, Yan Fei turned his attention to the second Stone Stele, reading its contents through real-time translation provided by the Auxiliary Brain, hoping to find the final outcome of this war. However, the writing on the second Stone Stele was standard and the lettering neatly executed, obviously professionally made, and seemingly completed a long time ago. It didn’t contain provisional instructions like those from Xuanhuangzi, nor any causes or effects, but rather detailed instructions on how to Refine the Control Boundary Stele.

After reading the contents recorded above, Yan Fei immediately cast his doubts aside, brimming with joy. He had been worried that he might not be able to fully control this Cave Heaven Paradise and that it might be intruded upon by outsiders. However, he hadn’t expected that Xuanhuangzi had already made preparations and had recorded the method of acquiring the Cave Heaven Paradise on this complete Stone Stele. As long as Yan Fei followed the steps noted there, he could obtain this Cave Heaven Paradise.

Yan Fei was not sure whether Xuanhuangzi was an Earthling or if there was any origin linking Xuanhuangzi’s race with the current Chinese ethnicity. Furthermore, Xuanhuangzi and the Cultivation Civilization that he represented had vanished; they had become history. Therefore, Yan Fei felt no emotional bond with Xuanhuangzi or his race. Nevertheless, after seeing Xuanhuangzi’s final arrangements, Yan Fei felt he still owed him a word of thanks. Thanks to Xuanhuangzi’s last arrangements, the largest Cave Heaven Paradise left from the ancient World of Cultivation was about to be inherited by Yan Fei.

On this Stone Stele, the method to refine and take control of the Control Boundary Stele was described in detail. The Control Boundary Stele contained immense Energy, and if one carelessly operated it without knowing the specific refining path, it could very likely cause the great energy within the Control Boundary Stele to explode, destroying both the refiner and the Cave Heaven Paradise altogether.

To refine this Control Boundary Stele, one must meet two prerequisites: the first being formidable Spiritual Power. Without sufficient Spiritual Power, one simply could not endure until the end of the refining process. The second prerequisite was a powerful physical constitution. As soon as one started to refine the Boundary Stele, the refiner’s body would endure an enormous backlash; if the physique was not strong enough, it would collapse under the strain.

Yan Fei’s physical constitution was four times stronger than that of other God-Level Experts, and his Spiritual Power was also much greater than theirs. Therefore, in Yan Fei’s view, he already possessed the prerequisites necessary for refining the Boundary Stele. However, considering the potential for an explosion upon failure, he proceeded with extreme caution, thinking thrice before acting.

But once Yan Fei refined this Control Boundary Stele, he would gain control of this Cave Heaven Paradise and could formally initiate it. With this Cave Heaven Paradise, Yan Fei would truly have a solid foundation and a way out. No matter what crises he encountered in the future, he could handle them with composure and no longer needed to worry constantly.

It seemed that Xuanhuangzi worried that those who entered here would not meet the requirements to refine the Boundary Stele; hence, at the bottom of this Stone Stele, he left a method akin to a Spiritual Power Cultivation Method, which allowed the person refining the Boundary Stele to enhance their own Spiritual Power in order to complete the refinement.

Yan Fei’s rise to becoming a God-Level Expert was filled with coincidences, largely due to the schemes of hidden forces behind the scenes. So even now, Yan Fei was unaware of how to cultivate and utilize Spiritual Power. In every major battle, he relied on his physique and innate ability, and when it came to Spiritual Power, it was nearly non-existent except for targeting enemies with Weiya.

It wasn’t that Yan Fei didn’t want to utilize Spiritual Power in combat, but that he simply did not have a method to cultivate it. As far as Yan Fei knew, it wasn’t just him; other God-Level Experts also seemed to lack a method for cultivating Spiritual Power, and research on Spiritual Power was at a standstill.

Thus, upon seeing such a method that resembled a Spiritual Power Cultivation Method, Yan Fei actually felt a surge of ecstasy. Still, Yan Fei couldn’t be reassured. He entered this method into the Auxiliary Brain’s technology extrapolation system, intending to have the technology system deduce it. Unfortunately, the technology extrapolation system had no reaction to the Cultivation Civilization’s methods. It seemed that Cultivation Civilization and Technological Civilization were inherently incompatible; the technology-leaning deduction system simply could not deduce or optimize Cultivation Methods.
