As for Cultivator Shen Yu at this mont, he was completely imrsed in the myriad Daoist skills.
The Star River Immortal Sect truly deserved to be a mighty immortal sect with the backing of the Cosmic Headquarters—the Daoist skills, scriptures, cultivation inheritances, and techniques within the sect resembled a boundless display of fireworks, countless and all imnsely powerful.
"Let’s start by learning an offensive technique, a defensive technique, and sothing for mobility." Cultivator Shen Yu discussed with the other Shen Yus in his mind.
"I’ve discovered that many cultivation techniques are actually linked to Martial Arts to so extent," Martial Artist Shen Yu interjected at that mont. "Put simply, after gaining these cultivation inheritances, when I try to extrapolate Martial Arts inheritances focused on Primordial Power, the consumption of Gray Mist drops by more than ninety percent!"
This wasn’t just a discovery of Martial Artist Shen Yu—everyone else felt it too.
Right now, they all cultivated several Extraordinary Paths.
Although these different types of Extraordinary Power coexisted harmoniously in their divine bodies, with no trace of conflict or chaos,
after all, it was their own power, so they could clearly sense the differences.
Among the three paths, compared to the other two, Magic was distinctly different—more inclined toward the soul, as if soul power perpetuated certain laws to alter reality.
Whereas Martial Arts and cultivation both paid attention to body and soul.
In fact, they all had a certain feeling.
Martial Arts Primordial Energy was just a specialized kind of Spiritual Energy!
More direct, more forceful, and much more intimidating.
"On the path of cultivation, every cultivation technique has its own specialties—it’s truly vast." Cultivator Shen Yu had noticed this too, and said thoughtfully, "Back when I was still in the Qi Refinent Realm, I’d hear senior brothers and sisters talk about the chaos in the Mortal World. So Qi Refiners from the very beginning were more focused on killing enemies, usually starting with Martial Arts to strengthen the body and Primordial Spirit, focusing on offensive techniques—which sounds a lot like Martial Arts."
"If Martial Arts can really be considered a form of cultivation, then things get easier—at the very least, extrapolating Martial Arts techniques would consu much less," Shen Yu added, "Plus, from what I understand so far, the cultivation path relies heavily on resources and comprehension. Comprehension, especially, seems as crucial as with Magic—easy to spread, but only a rare few can achieve real success."
During this period, Shen Yu had pioneered another Multi-Parallel Universe—already his third one.
With experience from the previous two attempts, the process afterwards beca unquestionably easier.
And Shen Yu now had more ti to research the newly acquired Extraordinary Paths.
It wasn’t just him—even interstellar world Shen Yu was involved.
He arranged for a group of semi-conscious bio-humans to attempt cultivation.
The results were abysmal.
Unlike their achievents on the Martial Arts path, when it ca to cultivation, the bio-humans were utterly clueless.
Even with abundant Spiritual Energy, they couldn’t make progress.
This was because, fundantally, cultivation techniques were deeply mysterious and arcane.
For example, starting with the Star Sea Technique, one had to distinguish Star Spiritual Energy from various energies, then use their own visualization to channel it and sense the boundless vastness of the Star Sea.
Bio-humans without self-awareness lacked imagination, so they couldn’t comprehend what exactly Star Spiritual Energy was or what infinite vastness ant.
They were even less adept than those practicing Magic.
So, even with a seemingly more powerful, deeper cultivation path, the Martial Arts path still couldn’t be abandoned.
It’s a road suitable for most people.
"Even cultivation thods are tough to optimize with AI," interstellar world Shen Yu chid in, "Much more arcane—AI struggles to grasp them. However, on the flip side, I’ve managed so results using technology to optimize certain cultivation techniques."
"Oh? Could you elaborate?" Cultivator Shen Yu imdiately looked forward to it.
Shen Yu had previously said, if cultivation couldn’t develop in interstellar civilizations, then try advancing technology in Immortal Cultivation Civilizations.
Chances were good these two aspects would integrate well.
Cultivator Shen Yu felt the sa way. From what he’d seen so far, even though Immortal Cultivation Civilizations hadn’t vigorously pushed technology, so technological applications were already evident.
Take the Flying Shuttle, for instance.
The Flying Shuttle’s shape and its thrust point matched aircraft flight technology perfectly.
This way, it could fly faster with the least energy expenditure!
"I haven’t done much yet—just tried simulating a laser gun’s energy flow with Spiritual Energy," interstellar world Shen Yu explained, "The laser gun is the simplest implentation of energy weapons—its formula binds energy together and channels it in one direction for concentrated fire. I actually succeeded, forming a thod that might qualify as a technique."
While he spoke, the corresponding ability already materialized in the other Shen Yus’ minds.
Cultivator Shen Yu took the lead in trying it out.
He extended his index finger, pointed ahead, Spiritual Energy flowed and swiftly gathered into a burning point, then shot out and struck the Scripture Pavilion’s protective array, creating ripples.
The result dazzled him.
No device—entirely simulated using Spiritual Power.
But compared to directly fighting with Spiritual Energy, or using fireballs or lightning, the destructive power was much greater!
"Compared with the powerful techniques I just reviewed, it’s still inferior overall—but for the Qi Refining Realm, this absolutely counts as a killer move!" Cultivator Shen Yu had only recently broken through to Qi Refining, so he understood well the power at that level.
At Qi Refining, cultivators usually could only rely on Martial Arts, talismans, or so low-level techniques to pull off arcane feats.
Yet those talismans and techniques all revolved around a core Heavenly Dao Rule, supplented by the cultivator’s own foundation and ntal training.
Take Sword Intent for example—so mysterious and extraordinary, hardly attainable for normal people.
But this new thod was different.
As long as you morized the formula, rembered the process of gathering and channeling Spiritual Energy according to that formula, and practiced more, anyone could master it, without needing to comprehend any profound Law or Taoist Rhy.
And the power wasn’t at all weak.
Even at the Early Stage of Qi Refining, a surprise attack with this move could potentially pierce the Late Stage’s Protective Techniques!
This was just the most basic technological application.
What about sothing more powerful?
Say, warships.
If one modified a cultivator’s Flying Shuttle with warship technology and refined a Cosmic Battleship into a Magical Treasure, what then?
"The scientific application of the cultivation path does look infinitely promising!" Cultivator Shen Yu was full of anticipation.
"This can only primarily rely on you all, with us as support," interstellar world Shen Yu replied, "It isn’t easy to popularize, but it could greatly enhance cultivators’ combat techniques, and even their cultivation techniques."
"I’ll organize a team soon for related research," Cultivator Shen Yu said after a pause, then turned to interstellar world Shen Yu, "How’s your side—need any help?"
From Cultivator Shen Yu’s point of view, the best way to get cultivators to value technology is to let them personally witness its power.
Ideally, a full-scale battle.
If interstellar world Shen Yu just happened to need help, that would be perfect.
"Over here, there’s no obvious crisis yet."
When talking about his own world, interstellar world Shen Yu’s tone grew more solemn.
"For now, things are still developing peacefully. But I keep thinking, since the enemy already discovered us, there’s no reason they wouldn’t be conducting surveillance—there’s a good chance the crisis is already here, and we just haven’t noticed."
That was interstellar world Shen Yu’s intuition—no evidence at all.
But for beings at their level, intuition wasn’t sothing to dismiss lightly.
"If you really can’t find anything, just use the Gray Mist," Shen Yu reminded, "The greatest danger lies with the Goddess of Hope—either find a way to boost her defenses, or reduce her authority. Otherwise, sothing’s bound to go wrong. If you wait until real damage is done, it’ll be too late."
