Chapter 472: Chapter 316: The Legendary Path (4K)_2

“`

Possibly in another month or two, Tianyuan might just pop out several High-order Soul Remnants?

The thought is indeed quite exciting.

I can’t lag behind either.

If by the next time we meet, I’m still not in the Legendary Realm, that would be rather embarrassing. I did just brag about it!

No problem!

After chatting for a few moments, Shen Linglong hurried off to take care of some necessary preparations.

The small auction at Tianyuan Territory went ahead as scheduled.

As expected, not everyone was as wealthy as the little rich lady Shen Linglong. It took time to arrange for the exchange of treasures, so naturally, they could not produce anything as precious as Miracle Blueprints.

Two Lords brought out Epic Level remains.

One of them was Jiang.

He added a piece of Superior Grade equipment, two Superior Grade materials, and a batch of Soul Crystals, exchanging them for the coveted Superior Three-order Holy Gun Ranger Remnant Soul.

“With a Superior Three-order ranged major character who can also buy all sorts of powerful enchanted bullets through Krypton Gold means, with this major character, the future of Luo Xing Territory is promising, gaga!”

The auction ended quickly.

Although he didn’t swap for Miracle Blueprints, Mu Yuan also obtained some treasures he had been longing for, which were of equally great value to him.

——Upgrading Fragments.

These fragments of rules that have a chance to be born at the junctions had also emerged in considerable numbers with the integration of Lanxing.

These are likely the last batch of fragments.

Perhaps due to the vast scale of Lanxing’s integration, these fragments, formed from clashing rules, were more resilient—shrinking in size slower than before.

A few days ago, the exploratory team of Tianyuan Territory restarted and discovered a Domain Fragment in the wilderness.

And today, he used two High-order Soul Remnants to exchange for a total of eight Upgrading Fragments, large and small.

“I’ve made a fortune!”

“I’ve made a fortune!”

Mu Yuan thought so.

The trading Lords thought the same.

To them, even using Upgrading Fragments wouldn’t help their major characters to breakthrough if they were slated to hit a plateau.

They simply didn’t have the conditions to make use of the fragments.

Is it not a great profit to exchange ‘bland-to-use, heartache-to-discard’ fragments for subordinates with immense potential?

Before the gathering dispersed, a Lord who didn’t manage to compete for a Soul Remnant couldn’t help but ask:

“Lord Tianyuan Giant, when will you hold the next auction for High-order Soul Remnants?”

“Hey hey…” Jiang Luoxing interrupted, “Are you really treating Tianyuan like General Duo Lai’s magic pocket? Such High-order Soul Remnants aren’t just available whenever you want, how could Lord Tianyuan give you a precise time?”

Mu Yuan opened his mouth.

He originally wanted to say definitely in a few days.

But on second thought, given the current unsettled circumstances and the fact that he was not planning on taking action against the Kobold Tribe just yet, he indeed could not confirm when he could acquire more High-order Soul Remnants.

It could be a few days, or half a month, or even longer.

He couldn’t make any promises.

…

Back in Tianyuan Territory, Mu Yuan closely monitored the movements deep in the wilderness while holding a copy of “Legendary Cultivation: From Beginning to End,” slowly flipping through it.

He had briefly looked over it before, but this time he read with more attention to detail.

Combining his current state with the teachings of the book, Lord Shepherd gained a deeper understanding of the Legendary Realm.

“The life tier of beings in the Legendary Realm has undergone a metamorphosis, which is reflected in every aspect, including the basic three dimensions, one’s own thought process, comprehension, and even lifespan.”

In the mundane realm, from zero-order apprentice to Fourth-order Leading Realm, there has been no enhancement to the essence of life.

Even though a Leading Realm strongman is capable of splitting mountains and rocks, they still possess a mortal body, with only a slightly longer lifespan than that of an ordinary person.

The Taixuan Alliance is still young, but scholars have conducted relevant research.

A Fourth-order Strongman adept in health preservation might live up to 150 years. However, in reality, Leading Realm warriors often do not reach such an age. They need to fight, and with fighting comes the inevitable sequelae of injuries, which may actually shorten their lifespans to just 130 or 120 years.

Furthermore, after reaching a certain age, their physical functions inevitably begin to decline.

The same goes for warrior types.

Warrior types are also normal living beings, except that under the influence of rules and Miracle Power, they skip the ‘juvenile’ and ‘growth’ phases and directly enter the ‘mature’ phase.

“`

Soldiers were born at the adult stage, but as time passed, they gradually entered old age.

Older soldiers were still a rare sight in the Tai Xuan Alliance.

The oldest lords in Tai Xuan had ‘only about sixty years of lordship.’ Many lords and soldiers of the Tai Xuan Alliance had died in battle, but barely any had died of old age.

The group had yet to reach the phase where they had to worry about the old soldiers.

A lifespan of 150 years, this refers to humans, whose lifespans often differ greatly from one race to another. And humans don’t have particularly long lifespans compared to many other races. The Featherman Tribe, for instance, generally lives longer than humans do.

There are also those with lifespans shorter than humans, like Goblins.

Undead, such as Skeletons, also have lifespans, but it refers to the lifespan of the soul.

If it’s an Epic Life like a Giant Dragon, even if it can’t advance to Legendary, it has a considerably long lifespan. High Elves are similar in this regard.

“Once humans ascend to Legendary, their lifespans directly climb to 300 years. Not only that, Legendary beings can wield the Power of Heaven and Earth and can comprehend the universe. Looking back at the techniques one mastered before entering the Legendary Realm, one can have a completely different comprehension.”

Before becoming Legendary, mortals stand on a mountain surrounded by sheer cliffs.

After becoming Legendary, the strong stand at the peak, with all mountains within their gaze.

A Legendary being, even starting from scratch in some side professions, such as Pharmaceutical Making, Forging, Enchanting, or creating Scrolls of Magic, would need only a few short years to surpass experts who have spent decades on these paths.

“In ancient times, some small countries viewed Legendary beings as gods, and this is by no means an exaggeration.”

However, Legendary beings have many things to do.

Especially those striving for higher realms; they cannot possibly delve into side professions.

Three hundred years may seem long, but for Legends stuck at various bottlenecks, it’s quite brief, without a moment to waste.

“From the Legendary Realm onwards, the strong must study the true methods of cultivation, not just blindly absorb Soul Sand.”

In ancient times, true cultivation techniques were always necessary.

Warriors had their own training methods, while Mages had their meditation techniques.

Soldiers could grow stronger by absorbing Soul Sand—this was actually due to the favor of Miracle Power, setting them on a shortcut of cultivation.

Mage soldiers are not true Mages, and the root of the problem lies here.

These cultivation shortcuts have no side effects—after all, they’re Miracle Power—Soldiers themselves are a manifestation of miracles. But once one enters the Legendary Realm, these shortcuts come to an end. The strong must then be self-reliant and strive on their own.

Some are able to break through realms effortlessly, treating each bottleneck as if it were nothing.

Others stumble and stagnate at the starting point after entering the Legendary Realm.

“This primer is called ‘From Beginning to End’ because some Legends, until their death, have been unable to find the cultivation method that truly suits them.”

Mu Yuan stroked his chin, “Now that Duo Lai has entered the Legendary Realm, it also needs to find its own cultivation path. It… should be fine, right?”

Mu Yuan felt uncertain, which prompted him to start reading primers on becoming a Legend.

At the critical moment, it might even need him, the all-capable Lord, to dispel the confusion in Duo Lai’s heart.

It’s just…

“I feel like I’m about to ‘enter the earth’ just looking at these basic cultivation techniques!”

…

Before the integration with Lanxing, Mu Yuan had used a hefty amount of Contribution Points on the Taixuan Covenant Platform to exchange for a few basic cultivation methods.

Physical Series, Undead system, Fire Series, Blue Wood Series.

Legendary beings could directly learn these cultivation techniques and practice according to them, but the progress would be very slow. After all, these were basic versions with a wide range of applicability.

Mu Yuan exchanged for these cultivation methods mainly for reference.

Legends who wanted to find their own cultivation methods certainly needed reference manuals. The reason some old Legends hadn’t been able to find their path until their death was that they had no one to discuss with and no previous path to refer to.

With the backing of the Tai Xuan Alliance, he had quite an advantage.

On the Taixuan Alliance Platform, there were also some profound cultivation methods available for exchange. Those were expensive and difficult for beginners, so Mu Yuan planned to wait until Duo Lai’s advancement before deciding whether to exchange for them or not.

It’s just that his current Tai Xuan Contribution Points were running low.

Now isolated, he had no way to earn more Contribution Points.

“As for the future, I’ll think about that later.”

And now,

With two Epic ingredients on hand, the time needed for Duo Lai’s limit refinement could be shortened further.

The day General Duo Lai would enter the Legendary Realm was just around the corner.

With the right timing and location already prepared, it’s just the human element that’s pending.

With Tianyuan Territory about to give birth to a Legend, and Shen Linglong envisioning her legendary future, everyone’s tomorrow looked bright.
