291: Will leave

The appearance of a Four Profound Heavens cultivation technique in such a place, the implications of this were already self-evident.

Chen De thought about it and realized it was true; besides the existence of the Four Profound Heavens, who else could possess such immense capability?

As Chen De had Xiao Dou continuously examine the Sky Vault Battle Shift in his hands, his surprise deepened, and he felt increasingly incredulous.

The nine levels within this cultivation technique corresponded to the nine realms of the Sky Vault Continent.

Through its contents, Chen De's previous views were greatly refreshed.

Originally, Chen De believed that this faction was based on the local cultivation system, supplemented and perfected.

However, it was entirely different from what Chen De had imagined; instead, the other party had created a new system based on the laws of this world and the cultivation system of the Four Profound Heavens.

The original system was called the Spirit Awakening system, and cultivating to its highest realm, the so-called Holy Spirit, could indeed reach the Heavenly Imperial Realm level.

But it was, after all, an indigenous system, too short in its existence, with too many loopholes and flaws.

Such a system would inevitably encounter various problems during cultivation.

To aspire to the highest realm, the probability was even lower than winning two lottery tickets in a row.

According to what was recorded in Sky Vault Battle Shift, in the previous Spirit Awakening system, no one besides its original creator had ever managed to break through to the Holy Spirit realm.

It was just like the Xuanzhe Continent Chen De had visited before.

However, this was not enough reason for the other party to create an entirely new system.

No matter how imperfect, how many loopholes and flaws this system had, it was still a clear and proven system capable of breaking through to the Heavenly Imperial Realm level.

This was not a dead end; it had simply existed for too short a time.

Supplementing and perfecting an existing system would definitely be much easier than creating an entirely new one.

Moreover, the new system was created based on the laws of this world, so it might not be effective elsewhere and lacked universality.

The cost of doing so seemed a bit too high.

Unless, the Sky Vault system harbored certain secrets, secrets that the Spirit Awakening system did not possess.

The other party needed certain characteristics or hidden maneuvers of the new system to achieve their specific goals.

However, as far as Chen De knew, based on the current clues, everything the other party did was essentially to help those peak powerhouses integrate with the world faster and better.

Most likely, the secret behind the creation of this Sky Vault system lies in this?

Firstly, it should not be simply to increase the probability of breakthrough; this could be achieved by perfecting the original system, making a new system unnecessary.

Then, it must be related to the effects of powerhouses integrating with the world, such as a certain kind of change it brings.

This change is something the original system did not possess, or the change did not develop in the desired direction.

However, the specific reasons, if one could compare the original and current two systems, some clues should be discernible.

So Chen De continued to flip through, and there were basically no descriptions of the Spirit Awakening system further on.

Instead, it mostly discussed how to cultivate the Sky Vault system and the related changes it produced.

This book could be regarded as both a cultivation technique and an exposition of the Sky Vault system.

Regarding this, Chen De had always been somewhat puzzled: did cultivation realms derive from cultivation technique realms, or did cultivation technique realms derive from cultivation realms?

Perhaps at some very early period, people used the levels of a certain cultivation technique as their cultivation realms.

And this Sky Vault Battle Shift in Chen De's hands, in a sense, could also be considered the original cultivation technique of the Sky Vault system.

Original does not imply powerful; if it were truly powerful, there would be no such thing as cultivation technique improvements in later generations; everyone would just cultivate according to the original.

It can only be said to be the first cultivation technique, but not the strongest.

But undoubtedly, all subsequent cultivation techniques of the Sky Vault system were improvements and refinements of certain parts of it.

However, for someone like Chen De, an original cultivation technique still held great research value.

After Chen De collected the cultivation technique and all other items he could gather here, he searched around for most of the day, looking to see if he could find any information on the Spirit Awakening system.

Then, apart from the things Chen De had already obtained, there was no other harvest.

Finally, Chen De, unwilling to give up, covered the entire room here with high-concentration black liquid, but still found nothing.

Now Chen De was finally sure that everything here had been thoroughly plundered by him.

In those days, for this faction to promote the new Sky Vault system across the continent, conflicts with the existing system were absolutely inevitable.

And in order to promote the system as quickly as possible, the other party was very likely to take action against the Spirit Awakening system.

Even to the extent of adopting strong measures, forcing everyone to switch to the new system, and fiercely suppressing the original system, destroying related cultivation information.

However, any action will leave traces.

No matter how cleanly the other party did it, some clues would definitely be left behind.

If Chen De wanted to find them, he would certainly gain something.

However, a very long time had passed.

The era of Eight Ancestor Zhan Tian alone was more than a million years ago.

And during the Hundred Ancestors period, from the first Ancestor Realm practitioner to now, it has been approximately thirteen million years.

Coupled with the fact that no one could preserve it, finding it would definitely be a very time-consuming task.

Even if something could be found, it would be impossible to piece together completely in a short time.

So Chen De decided not to search now, or rather, he decided not to search personally.

Chen De had already decided to establish the Sky Vault Continent as one of his bases.

Doing things here would definitely be more convenient and safer than in the Four Profound Heavens.

This place is currently under Chen De's absolute control, a territory that can be freely developed.

Moreover, its potential is extremely high; even now, one can still feel that the laws of heaven and earth are continuously being perfected.

This is probably the most powerful small world Chen De has encountered, apart from the Earth Immortal Realm.

That's why Chen De spent so much effort building this place.

During this period, Chen De had successively brought in a large portion of the Holy Mother Sect members who had remained in the Four Profound Heavens.

Only a small portion was left outside to maintain the normal and stable operation of the base.

Now, the task of searching for information on the Spirit Awakening system is perfectly suited for them.

Currently, Chen De's Holy Mother Sect dominates everything here.

There's no need to worry about anyone causing trouble or obstruction.

The Holy Mothers of the Holy Mother Sect can calmly and wholeheartedly carry out the tasks Chen De left for them.

In the process of investigation, Chen De had already passed the most difficult part, the Bai Zu Ruins; what remained was pure searching and looking within the Sky Vault Continent.

These minor tasks no longer required Chen De to constantly monitor and personally attend to them.

Entrusting them to the Holy Mothers, they would handle everything Chen De desired.

Chen De's most pressing matter now was how to deal with this sixth Devouring Evolution.

The bloodlines developed in his laboratory were adequate for dealing with lower realms.

But for the current Chen De, their effectiveness still couldn't compare to those bloodlines that were originally top-tier.

For example, bloodlines of the Heaven Forsaken Demonic Spider level cannot be created in the laboratory right now.

Therefore, what Chen De can choose now are definitely the existing bloodlines of the Four Profound Heavens.

If there's an opportunity to bring them back for research, that would naturally be even better.
