Above The Sky-Chapter 1652 - 312: The Pioneer’s Kindred

Chapter 1652: Chapter 312: The Pioneer’s Kindred
What kind of nonsense, you want to freeload!
All the scholars present were originally engrossed, but now they silently scoffed — data at the Fifth Energy Level is top secret, how could it possibly be provided to outsiders!
Not to mention, they actually aren’t even at the stage where they can access Fifth Energy Level data.
Unless...
[My data]
In the City of Knowledge, the Chief Scholar, Kerraith Inquiry, with a curious smile, raised his hand: [Mr. Mahdi, receive this, my data]
Ian looked at Kerraith with some surprise — he knew this Chief of the City of Knowledge had some inexplicably grand plan, and even external disturbances were initiated because of his plan... but he didn’t expect that this person would actually provide his data just for an answer.
This curiosity... made Ian feel a sense of ’kinship’ for the first time in a while.
"..."
Closing his eyes, Ian roughly browsed through the data sent by Kerraith, then frowned and said, "Fifth Energy Level, actually living under such pressure?"
"How is that different from sticking oneself into the sun?"
[Oh, the sun’s surface is only about six thousand degrees, you know]
At this, Kerraith chuckled: [I quite agree with your statement — High-Energy Advancers, are those who wield the power of gods in human bodies]
[So, is there a result? If someone practices the Arcane Pathway, how much longer can a Fifth Energy Level Sublimator live?]
Ian looked deeply at Kerraith and said in a deep voice, "...At most two hundred years. They live less than those at the Third and Fourth Energy Levels because the pressure borne by the Fifth Energy Level exceeds the limit that the Arcane Pathway can relieve. Fifty extra years is the extreme, almost not fighting at all, data."
"If you calculate based on fighting and frequency of action... one hundred eighty years, that is the new lifespan for a Fifth Energy Level powerhouse practicing the Arcane Pathway, living thirty extra years."
[Thirty years? That’s enough, very enough]
Upon hearing this, Kerraith nodded thoughtfully, then leaned back in his chair with a smile: [A generation’s time, truly long...]
[Incredible!][Unbelievable!]
After hearing the dialogue between Mahdi and Kerraith, everyone accepted Ian’s words as truth — a joke, are you smarter than a Fifth Energy Level?
It was precisely because of this that they felt indescribable shock... could the Arcane Pathway really extend life?!
Without any hesitation, right there on the spot, someone began practicing that ’Basic Meditation Method’ Ian released earlier.
The scholars present were the cream of the crop of the Whole Terra, as the Chengying Spire Master said before, they are the kind of monsters who can recite an entire book backwards from just a glance, solve supercomputer tasks with mental arithmetic, starting meditation for them is as easy as breathing, the reason they didn’t experiment before was merely out of researchers’ caution.
But now... that’s extending life!
[Yes, exactly like that!]
Not only that, if unlike meditation which takes weeks and months to see effects, the Essence Furnace Core shows results immediately once cultivated.
Master Sampo from Yanjiang murmured, he had forcibly condensed a basic Essence Furnace Core inside himself relying solely on his own immense computing power, without using any Meditation Technique: [Yes, by adding an extra pressure regulation organ, assisting in adjusting the flow of origin quality within the body — this benefit, in the past, we always tried to think of how to add inside the original essence organ. But adding an extra core, anyone would think it might lead to deformity, or have other side effects]
[If it were me, as someone already having achievements as a Sublimator, potentially bringing trouble, but if cultivated this way from the start, there absolutely wouldn’t be any side effects, also alleviating the coercion of the sublimation organ on life, thereby extending life]
He looked up with burning eyes at Mahdi on the stage: [If combined with the Meditation Technique... I really cannot imagine what a huge transformation this will be!]
[The societal form and structure of the Sublimators will be rewritten, this truly is a groundbreaking ’Path of the Dao’!]
This was the first major country representative to openly acknowledge Ian’s ’Pathway’.
Moreover afterward, Master Sampo dismantled the Essence Furnace Core within himself: [I can already sense that, in the body of the Ghost Valley Knight, there is a ’prototype essence furnace core’ with an output far surpassing ours. Compared to the foundation I just tried to condense, your prototype’s efficiency is even more terrifying]
This robust-bodied researcher confidently smiled: [But we in Yanjiang also have accumulations in this area — knowing this concept, we can also create our own powerful essence furnace core!]
– Please, just hurry up and create it.
Ian thought so in his heart. The reason he publicized the Arcane Pathway was precisely in the hope these people could create new modules and technologies that he didn’t have time for or wasn’t necessarily able to create himself.
Even though he is the world’s number one invincible researcher, time is limited, and also with research inclinations, having others helping to fill gaps would be fantastic.
"I’m looking forward to it."
So, finally, the black-haired knight said, thus he withdrew all the publicly available models: "This is my ’Arcane Pathway’. The presentation is over, thank you all for your enthusiasm."
Clap, clap, clap.
And just then, just as Mahdi was about to step down.
Kerraith stood up and was the first to applaud for him.
Immediately, soon, the entire great hall erupted into vigorous applause, for Mahdi, the ’Pioneer’ who proposed the new pathway, and also for the brilliant era that both sublimators and the Terra World mortals could foresee.
But just at that moment, alarms rang in Ian’s heart!
Because, in the Foresight View, the brilliant golden radiance on Kerraith’s body faintly lit up with a tinge of ’rainbow’ light!
– Could it be this guy is about to break through first because of his Arcane Pathway?!
At first Ian thought so in shock, but soon, he realized it wasn’t the case.
Because that rainbow light didn’t originate from Kerraith himself, but from something on his person.
No time to see more clearly, at this moment, the Chief Scholar brushed past Ian.
[Truly a pathway beyond my imagination, more perfect than I expected]
Ian heard the other’s gentle voice: [So, next, please listen to mine]
– Confidence.
The Prophet was silent, sensing the confidence in Kerraith’s heart, immediately understanding that after listening to the Arcane Pathway, the other could still be so confident, even thinking he could outdo himself...
Just how terrifying is the path he prepared?
In Ian’s heart, arose a pure and boundless curiosity: "Then I shall eagerly await."
So, Ian returned to his seat, transformed once again into a dragon, assuming a stance of absolute preparation, waiting for Kerraith Inquiry’s final presentation.
And the first sentence from this Chief Scholar opening the presentation, left everyone including Ian momentarily dumbfounded.
[Fellow compatriots]
This scholar, whose appearance could never be clearly remembered for some reason, stretched out his arms and said with utmost solemnity: [Have you ever thought that beyond our world, there are other worlds?]
[I’m not talking about continents, planets, or starfields of the Milky Way, such insignificant things... I’m talking about worlds, meaning ’universe’]
[Fellow compatriots, do you... ever believe]
[In the existence of parallel universes?]
