Wang Fuyun felt a headache coming on as he listened to Li Pin's words. "Evaluation? Right now?" While he found this rather unexpected, he wasn’t too surprised by it. He had thought that Li Pin’s spirit would have flagged after the Highlord’s rejection, but it seems his temperament was still the same. Fortunately, Wang Fuyun had come prepared. "Not now," said Wang Fuyun, smiling. "The most authoritative method for ranking a cultivator's strength is the Supreme Ladder, and that exists only in the Astral World. Until you ascend to the Astral God Realm, you won't be able to access it." He studied Li Pin for a moment before suggesting, "You could try the Divine Transformation Peak instead. It's a simulation of the Supreme Ladder. While it doesn't reward contribution points like the real thing, it'll at least give you a rough estimate of your current capabilities." "Divine Transformation Peak..." muttered Li Pin. He had heard of this device before. It was a replica of the Supreme Ladder. Li Pin replied, "If I remember correctly, Divine Transformation Peak only has nineteen levels. That would be... simulating the first to sixth tiers of the Supreme Ladder? It's hardly a challenge for me. What's the point?" "That's the one circulated outside. The Divine Transformation Peak in the Humanity Sanctum has been extended to the twenty-seventh levels, corresponding to the first to ninth tiers of the Supreme Ladder... Uh..." Wang Fuyun trailed off, suddenly recalling that even before entering the Heavenly Prison World, Li Pin's strength had already rivaled the ninth tier. Now that he had spent time in the Heavenly Prison World, his cultivation ought to have grown even further. The twenty-seven levels of Divine Transformation Peak.... thought Wang Fuyun. With that thought, he admitted, "Yeah... that probably wouldn't mean much either." "Then I'll wait," Li Pin said calmly. "The Void Divine Treasure World will open in about ten stellar years. Once I return from there, I'll advance to Astral God. That would be a more fitting time for an evaluation." Wang Fuyun nodded. "That works too. For Astral Gods, the Starshine phase focuses on amplifying energy intensity, while the Solar Flare phase elevates energy levels. Given that you've nearly mastered the fourth level of a Supreme Technique, neither phase should be difficult for you. "And with your current inner spirit realm, all that remains is refining your control over the Eternal Oblivion Force. If all goes smoothly, within a century, your energy intensity should reach the Starshine Limit, which is four million." He sounded completely confident in Li Pin's potential, smiling as he continued, "After that, raising your energy level to the Solar Flare limit—a tenfold increase—will complete your energy accumulation phase. From there, the next step would be converting that power into combat effectiveness and preparing for the breakthrough to Cosmic Radiance." "Control." Li Pin nodded. "The Sacred Child's cultivation chamber allows direct adjustments of the Eternal Oblivion Force. It's perfect for refining control." "In that case, we won't keep you any longer. Let us know if you need anything," Wang Fuyun smiled. "I've been in the Humanity Sanctum for over a thousand years. I know my way around." Yun Lai added, "We may not have Senior Wang's experience, but if you need someone to run errands or gather information, just give the order." "I won't stand on ceremony when the time comes," Li Pin replied. With that, Wang Fuyun, Yun Lai, and the others took their leave. Li Pin didn't see them off. Instead, he headed straight for the cultivation chamber. Though called a "chamber," it was in fact a vast open area spanning over a thousand meters in diameter. Constructed from specialized materials and reinforced by the laws of the Primordial World, it could withstand even the force of an Eternal Solar Flare's strike—unless the cultivator deliberately sought to destroy the entire island. "Eternal Oblivion Force..." muttered Li Pin. He calmly controlled his strength, gradually intensifying the energy within him. As his power surged, invisible ripples spread outward, stirring up a fierce gale that swept across the training area. Yet, before the turbulence could escape the chamber's confines, an unseen force suppressed it, dispersing it effortlessly. Like a bullet slowed to a crawl underwater, the violent energy fluctuations were subdued before they could spread beyond the designated space. No matter how much he increased his energy output, the training area remained undamaged. "The Primordial World," Li Pin muttered. The Primordial World had absorbed his energy intensity. Unless his energy exceeded the world's limits, he wouldn't be able to harm this world, or even this training area. To a Supreme who had long surpassed the Perfect Realm, an attack with one unit of energy was no different from an attack with a hundred million. Both were equally ineffective. "My level of control has already surpassed my current energy and energy level..." Li Pin murmured. He activated his Sacred Child privileges, and an endless stream of energy instantly poured into his body, rapidly elevating his energy intensity. In an instant, Li Pin had reached the level of a Starshine Astral God. This was one of the Sacred Child's privileges—Realm Simulation. If he was willing to spend some contribution points, he could directly possess a Brilliant Starshine and personally experience the power of an Astral God within him. As his energy intensity reached 1.5 million, Li Pin felt a slight discomfort in controlling the flow of power. There was even a feeling that if he wasn't careful, he might break the shackles of the Eternal Oblivion Force, causing its binding power to intensify. Li Pin frowned. "So... after dozens of stellar years in the Heavenly World, my Perfect Realm has only improved to 1.5 million? And to ensure enough safety margin for better control, it's actually just 1.2 million?" He found this progress rather slow. The next moment, ripples spread across his inner spirit lake as he swiftly began adjusting to this newfound energy intensity. With control already feeling strained, he constantly clashed against the Eternal Oblivion Force. At times, it felt like he was just a step away from triggering its full weight upon himself. This dual stimulation of body and spirit pushed his adaptation efficiency to its peak. A trace of realization crossed Li Pin's face. "I finally understand why true cultivators can only grasp the Perfect Realm after entering the Astral World..." It was like learning to swim. No matter how much theory one studied or how many videos one watched, it was impossible to truly feel its pressure or the fear of the unknown depths without ever touching water. The same applied to those who had never entered the Astral World. Enduring the dual oppression on both the physical and spiritual levels even for only a minute or two was ten times more effective than days of studying books and videos. Just like now. Li Pin could clearly sense the energy within him leaking out bit by bit, and the consequences of being perceived by the Eternal Oblivion Force. This constant threat placed his body and spirit in a state of high alert, leaving no room for carelessness. "And this is still within the Primordial World. No matter how realistic the Eternal Oblivion Force here feels, it can deceive the body and mind but not the inner spirit. Without the true life-or-death pressure, the inner spirit's survival instincts won't be triggered. But in the actual Astral World, where one's inner spirit remains immersed in that constant tension, no cultivator can afford to stagnate." Stagnation meant death. Why was the average lifespan of theoretically immortal Astral Gods so low? It was because too many new Astral Gods perished before even making it past the early stages. "Speaking of control over perfection, my Clairvoyance talent can finally be put to use again." Li Pin precisely sensed the interaction between his internal energy and the simulated Eternal Oblivion Force of the Primordial World. Under the influence of his Clairvoyance talent, his perception and control had never been sharper. A faint smile appeared on his face. "If it hadn't shown any results soon, I would have forgotten I even had this talent." It could be said that he had finally seen the limits of his Clairvoyance talent, at least to some extent. Its effects prior to the Cosmic Radiance stage were significant. As for the help it could offer in condensing a True Spirit, the results really spoke for themselves. His slow progress illustrated how little assistance his talent offered him in this area. The biggest distinction between Human prodigies and non-Human prodigies was whether their talent could help them ascend to Cosmic Radiance. "So, I don't actually qualify as a human prodigy," Li Pin murmured. Yet, he didn't feel disappointed, nor frustrated. Talent or not, he was still himself. That would never change. Besides... Clairvoyance had already helped him reach this point far faster than most. He was more than satisfied. As for the road ahead, he would have to walk it alone. Just as he had always done, never relying on external forces, and not wavering in his path. "Aside from increasing my energy level, I need to focus more on the Quantum Sword Intent as well." After adapting to the energy intensity of 1.5 million, he shifted his attention back to the Cosmic Radiance Sword Art. Being able to endure 1.5 million energy intensity only meant he could survive in the Astral World. It didn't mean he could wield that power perfectly in battle. It was like learning how to swim. It didn't mean one was ready to compete. He had merely learned to stay afloat, far from mastering competitive skills. Training in swordsmanship now was to ensure he gained an edge in combat. "Quantum Sword Intent essentially replicates the transformation process of the first four levels of the Supreme Technique. But my focus isn't on raw destructive power. I need to refine it to fully unleash the might of the Phantom Space Technique." Li Pin extended his arm, and a divine sword materialized in his grip. "The original Quantum Sword Intent condenses Strong Force, Weak Force, Gravity, and Electromagnetism into a singularity-like mass point, which then collapses and erupts to annihilate its target. But in the Phantom Space Technique, the four fundamental laws are matter, energy, space, and time..." Sword in hand, Li Pin pondered how to modify the Quantum Sword Intent to perfectly integrate with the Phantom Space Technique. The fundamental nature of matter, energy, space, and time in the Phantom Space Technique was exceptionally high—especially space and time, which directly pointed to the level of a Sacred Monarch or Heavenly Emperor. The only reason he couldn't fully wield their power was his lack of mastery. If he could truly unleash the full potential of the Phantom Space Technique, even if his Great Dao Radiance could only derive limited time and space power, his combat strength would rival a Starshine's, or even a Solar Flare's True Form.
