Above The Sky-Chapter 1651 - 312: The Pioneer’s Kindred

Chapter 1651: Chapter 312: The Pioneer’s Kindred
What the Chengying Spire Master mentioned is exactly what they were worried about—the Arcane Pathway will completely shatter the inheritance hierarchy of the Bloodline True Form.
Indeed, the order of the Bloodline True Form is also a rigid and dead hierarchy, where any genius that appears will be absorbed and assimilated, but if the Arcane Pathway emerges, a ’genius powerhouse’ will truly appear who doesn’t need any resources, just needs to isolate and meditate for decades, and then comes out to shake the world.
Uncontrollable, authority challenged... even if the Arcane Pathway has a thousand benefits, if it really threatens their position, its promotional effect will be greatly reduced.
That’s why Ian had long been prepared with a countermeasure.
Because the Arcane Pathway also requires resources.
Computational resources.
A powerful supercomputing core can significantly accelerate the progress of the Meditation Technique and the inscription of Artificial Sublimation Organs. Ian can now build one, though without a standard model, but the Fourth Energy Level organ he needs just takes too long.
Major powers will undoubtedly accelerate developments in this area, ensuring resources can also create powerhouses. In that case, the Arcane Pathway is nothing more than a supplement to the path of Bloodline True Form, just an enhanced DLC, which will not affect their authority.
As for the stronger getting stronger... to be honest, it’s as if someone now can challenge the Fifth Energy Level. Even among the Elves, to deal with an aging Fifth Energy Level powerhouse requires elaborate planning and the help of other Fifth Energy Levels.
It’s stagnant waters to begin with, why care about frozen waters? As long as Ian himself becomes the strongest, he is confident he can shatter all established ’classes,’ and completely reshape the Terra World with his own will!
As for the Arcane Pathway making everyone equal, everyone practicing it and becoming harmonious members of a great unity world...
Uh, it’s okay to deceive oneself, but never say it out loud to deceive others.
In Ian’s vision, at the very least it requires conquering the world, solidifying the Heart of Terra within the common Domain of Void of all humans, elevating it into the ’God of Terra,’ and writing absolute equality permanently into the ’rules’ to make it possible.
Only absolute violence can achieve absolute order. If possible, Ian wants to call the divine position that the Heart of Terra will achieve in the future the ’God of Violence and Order’ or the ’God of Might and Justice.’
"Besides."
Shaking his head slightly, the black-haired Knight retracted his thoughts, knowing that all the researchers present had fully accepted his ’Arcane Pathway,’ but they were still hesitating, not fully understanding.
Because the power represented by the Arcane Pathway, though good, has little concern for those who are already ’vested interests.’
They can indeed use their existing resources to cultivate more and stronger successors, but so can others—what others can do, they must do too, which is the so-called competition.
No one likes competition.
Therefore, Ian threw out his biggest card: "Practicing the Arcane Pathway, adjusting the body’s energy cycle with the Meditation Technique and the Essence Furnace Core, can alleviate the pressure of power on the body."
"Above the Fourth Energy Level, I don’t know. But even at the Third and Fourth Energy Levels, one can extend life by decades through practicing the Arcane Pathway!"
"Even a Fifth Energy Level powerhouse, if the Arcane Pathway can be pushed one step further, could potentially extend their lifespan!"
Silence.
Death-like silence.
If before, the Knight’s revelation would provoke an exclamation of astonishment, now, what he’s dropped is a meteorite.
[Lifespan?]
An emissary from Whale Song Cliff said softly, [You mean the Arcane Pathway can extend life?]
"Strictly speaking, it’s ’returning the lifespan of a Sublimator to normal conditions.’"
The Knight glanced at the speaker, a Descendant of the Sea, similar in appearance to Green Tide and Shasha, whose rough skin looked somewhat like a Shark. Feeling a sense of kinship, he replied, "You are all among the most brilliant Scholars of Terra, so I’ll assume you already know."
"The lifespan of Sublimators is relatively short compared to their power because the path of Bloodline True Form has not fully elevated the essence of their life. We control divine power with human bodies, so naturally, it consumes our lifespan."
"Coupled with the abnormal origin quality environment of Terra, which cannot be easily controlled, the stronger one becomes, the more their power burns their own souls, leading to high life loss."
"Therefore."
Raising his hand, Mahdi held up a finger: "According to my calculations, with the dual balance of Arcane Pathway Meditation and the Essence Furnace Core, even if one takes the Bloodline True Form’s Magic Potion, the lifespan at the First Energy Level can extend to about one hundred and fifty years."
"At the Second Energy Level, the lifespan is nearly two hundred."
"As for the Third Energy Level, this is the peak of lifespan. Under normal circumstances, it can exceed two hundred and fifty years."
Having said this, Mahdi continued slowly, raising four fingers: "As for the Fourth Energy Level, just like the Bloodline True Form, due to the increase and consumption of power, there’s not much increase in lifespan, roughly around two hundred and fifty years, fluctuating depending on the number of all-out efforts."
"As for the Fifth Energy Level... I don’t have data for the Fifth Energy Level, could any of you provide it?"
