A cultivation method that transcended classification. That incorporated principles from every major power system. That was specifically designed for his unique physique combination, his unprecedented cultivation stage, his transformation toward energy-based existence.
A technique that treated the body not just as a universe, but as an infinite multiversal structure—where each energy-cell contained a complete universe, and those cellular universes connected through dimensional pathways forming a meta-cosmic network of unlimited complexity.
A technique that could absorb any form of energy—matter, radiation, space itself, even conceptual forces—and convert everything into cultivation advancement with perfect efficiency.
A technique that would gradually transform him from biological organism to living cosmic principle, an entity composed of pure condensed power shaped by will rather than physics.
A technique that, when perfected, would allow him to regenerate from a single atom as long as any energy existed in his environment, making him functionally immortal and nearly indestructible.
A technique that had no upper limit. No bottlenecks. No stages where advancement became impossible. Just infinite growth potential extending toward...
Toward what? Vaelor wondered. What lies beyond King-Tier? Beyond Emperor-Tier? What happens when you reach the absolute peak of cultivation?
His new technique didn't provide those answers. But it provided the pathway to reach heights where those questions became personally relevant.
Finally, after subjective decades of work compressed into hours of real-time, the synthesis completed.
Vaelor opened his eyes—glowing with satisfaction—and examined the finished product.
The technique manifested in his consciousness as a perfect crystalline structure, each facet representing an integrated principle, the whole radiating with self-evident correctness.
He tried to assign it a grade, comparing it against the standard classification system.
But...
No classification fit.
It exceeded Divine-Grade—incorporating benefits from multiple Divine-Grade methods while eliminating their limitations. But calling it "Transcendent-Grade" or "Mythical-Grade" felt inadequate.
The technique simply was. Beyond conventional categorization.
His system apparently agreed:
[New Cultivation Method Detected]
[Analyzing...]
[Analysis Failed]
[Grade Classification: ????]
[ERROR: Technique exceeds system's evaluation parameters]
[Default Classification: Unknown]
Even the upgrade system that had provided him with Primordial-grade talents and Divine-grade methods couldn't properly assess what he'd created.
Perfect, Vaelor thought with cold satisfaction. Something so advanced that even the system giving me advantages can't understand it.
This is truly mine. Not granted. Not inherited. Created.
He examined the technique more closely, studying its specific mechanisms:
Primary Function: Gradual transformation of biological body into energy-based lifeform composed of miniaturized universe-containing cells.
Secondary Function: Absorption of any energy form—physical, spiritual, dimensional, conceptual—with perfect conversion efficiency.
Tertiary Function: Creation of dimensional pathways between cellular universes, forming interconnected multiversal network that serves as both body and consciousness substrate.
Regeneration Capability: As long as single energy-cell survives and environmental energy exists, complete reconstruction possible. True death requires atomization combined with energy-void environment.
Growth Potential: Unlimited. Each cultivation advancement increases number of cellular universes, deepens their reality, expands dimensional network complexity.
Integration: Automatically merges all physiques, bloodlines, and special constitutions into unified energy-body framework, preserving their benefits while eliminating conflicts.
Wait, Vaelor's thoughts paused on that last point. It automatically integrates physiques and bloodlines?
He focused his Divine Insight on that specific mechanism.
Yes. The new cultivation technique included pathways specifically designed to merge his Eternal Cosmos Physique, Primordial Energy Genesis Physique, and even his still-dormant bloodline inheritance into a single unified energy-body constitution.
Instead of having multiple separate physiques that might eventually conflict or create bottlenecks, they would all fuse—becoming aspects of one transcendent physique that incorporated benefits from all sources.
Even better than I initially planned, Vaelor thought with growing excitement. This technique handles the physique fusion automatically as I cultivate. No need for risky manual merger.
But then a thought struck him—a realization that dimmed his satisfaction slightly.
If I'd created this technique before triggering the Divine Insight upgrade...
If I'd used THIS method to absorb the origin essence instead of the Eternal Cosmos Scripture...
His enhanced consciousness ran the calculations instantly.
The ???? grade technique's absorption efficiency exceeded the Divine-Grade Eternal Cosmos Scripture by orders of magnitude. Its conversion ratio was perfect rather than merely excellent. Its integration pathways would have channeled the origin essence more effectively.
I probably would have reached 70th stage, Vaelor calculated. Maybe 80th. Possibly even broken through to 100th stage and advanced to the next major realm entirely.
All that origin essence... and I absorbed it with a merely Divine-Grade technique instead of this perfected method.
He felt genuine regret. A sadness that surprised him with its intensity.
So much potential wasted. So much advancement I could have achieved but didn't because I hadn't developed this technique yet.
The emotion lasted for approximately five seconds.
Then his practical nature reasserted itself.
No. Not wasted. That origin essence allowed me to reach 50th stage, which gave me the comprehension and experience needed to CREATE this technique. Without going through that process, I wouldn't have understood the principles well enough to synthesize something this advanced.
This is the correct sequence. Foundation first, then optimization.
And besides...
He smiled coldly, looking toward the distant sun visible as a bright point among the stars.
I'm about to gain access to near-unlimited energy. The sun contains more power than I could possibly exhaust in lifetimes of cultivation. Missing out on some origin essence advancement barely matters when I'm about to tap into a stellar furnace.
Decision made, regret dismissed, Vaelor activated his new cultivation technique for the first time.
The effect was immediate and dramatic.
His body began... changing.
Not visibly—his external appearance remained the same. But at the cellular level, transformation commenced.
The biological cells containing half-illusory universes started their evolution toward energy-atoms containing fully-real miniaturized cosmos.
The process was gradual but perceptible. Each cell flickered, its molecular bonds loosening as matter began converting to condensed energy. The miniature universes within grew more solid, more real, more complete.
His neural pathways started transforming into energy meridians—consciousness substrate shifting from electrochemical signals to pure power circulation.
Most remarkably, his Eternal Cosmos Physique and Primordial Energy Genesis Physique began merging. The two distinct constitutions, which had coexisted as separate systems, started integrating—combining their properties into unified whole.
And his dormant bloodline stirred.
Mother's inheritance, Vaelor recognized as he felt ancient power waking in his blood. Finally activating fully.
The bloodline wasn't just awakening—it was being incorporated into his energy-body transformation. Whatever special properties his mother's lineage carried would merge with his physiques, becoming permanent aspects of his evolved constitution.
What was she? he wondered briefly. What bloodline requires this level of power to properly manifest?
But that was a question for later. Right now, he needed to test this new technique's capabilities.
Vaelor extended his consciousness outward, activating the absorption function.
