If you can't cultivate, you naturally have to find another way out.

Until the birth of a genius.

He tried to find other alien star energy in the space other than the origin star energy, and finally succeeded, becoming the first mutated cultivator.

There are many xenomorph star energy known to human beings, and only five of them can be sensed and absorbed by human cultivators, which are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

In addition, the known alien attribute star energy is wind, ice, thunder, electricity, poison, light, and darkness.

These attributes are not perceptible to humans, so they naturally cannot be absorbed and used for cultivation, but humans have seen them from demon beasts, so they know their existence.

The origin of the planet has no attributes, but it can derive all things, and the alien star energy is the energy with special attributes derived from the origin star energy, and the energy level is naturally one level lower than the origin star energy.

This level of xenomorph star energy is not something that everyone can sense, and those who can't sense it naturally can't cultivate, and in the end they can only become a waste body.

Most of the next generation of the Waste Body is a Waste Body, and the chance of giving birth to an astral body is less than 1 in 10,000. After countless years of reproduction, it eventually led to more and more waste bodies, and innate cultivators became more and more rare.

Because of this, the status of innate cultivators in people's minds is getting higher and higher.

Cultivators in the ancient period, in addition to cultivating star power, would also cultivate the physical body at the same time.

Cultivation is against the sky, and every time you break through a realm, you must survive a heavenly tribulation. Therefore, the purpose of cultivating the physical body is to cross the tribulation.

If you only cultivate star power and don't cultivate your physical body, the cultivators of the ancient period will not be able to survive the heavenly tribulation at all.

If the catastrophe fails, the cultivation will be completely lost, and you will become a wasted person. In the worst case, he died on the spot, and his bones were gone, turning into ashes.

They call the cultivation of the physical body the refining body.

However, the cultivators who had grown up through the mutated cultivation system later discovered that in the process of improving the realm, there would be no Heavenly Tribulation at all, and the only thing they needed to cross was the Flying Thunder Tribulation, and the power was much weaker than before.

In this way, refining the body for the sake of the tribulation almost loses its meaning.

Originally, cultivation would have to take a lot of time and energy, and if the star power and physical body cultivators would spend far more than twice as much time and energy. In the case of a limited lifespan, since the refining body has lost its meaning, it is reasonable to choose to give up.

Slowly, this concept and cultivation method began to spread.

Slowly, the ancient cultivation system was replaced by a mutated cultivation system.

Slowly, all the ancient cultivation techniques were lost.

Slowly, the body refining was forgotten, and the body refining exercises were also all lost.

This phenomenon, this mutated cultivation system, has continued to this day.

On the surface, there is not a big difference between the ancient and mutated cultivation systems, as long as they are not wastes, they can eventually become the powerhouses of the Star Continent.

As long as you survive the Ascension Thunder Tribulation, you can also ascend to the upper realm.

But in fact, the ancient peak powerhouse can kill the current peak powerhouse in seconds with one move, and the comprehensive strength is not half a star.

Moreover, a cultivator who ascended to the upper realm through the mutated cultivation system would become a waste with no future.

Why?

According to Zhu Gangguan's own understanding, it is because Heavenly Dao believes that this mutated cultivation system is not against the sky.

Cultivation is going against the sky, and if it is a cultivation method that does not go against the sky, how strong can it be? What future does it have?

In the process of realm ascension, it is estimated that this is also the reason why the Heavenly Tribulation was not caused.

The era when Zhu Gangguan was born was no different from today's cultivation system. If he hadn't met that person from the Upper Realm, he would have embarked on a path of cultivation without any future, just like all other cultivators.

Despite meeting that person, it took a lot of effort for Zhu Gangguan to return to the right path, and only then did he achieve what he is today.

Fortunately, Zhong Hou had never cultivated star power, it was completely a blank piece of paper, and how to write on it was very simple.

What Zhong Hou wants to learn now is the most ancient and authentic cultivation method.

Since the Star Continent has a mutated cultivation system, the Origin Star Energy no longer continues to be consumed, and it has slowly recovered. Although it was far from the richness of its heyday, it was far enough to supply it to Zhong Hou for cultivation alone.

This cultivation method relies on sensing and absorbing the origin star energy of the Star Continent as the basis, and refining the body as the auxiliary, and finally reaches the limit of the Star Continent, and finally soars to the upper realm.

The future is bright.

The only drawback is that every breakthrough will lead to a catastrophe, and the consequences of failure to cross the catastrophe are very serious.

The only way to reduce the difficulty of the Tribulation is to use a powerful body to fight against the Tribulation.

Reaching the peak of the ninth layer of the day after tomorrow has already reached the limit of the mortal body, and it needs to be transformed into the innate body.

In today's cultivation system, what is transformed is the meridians and dantian, and the physical body has not broken through to the innate body, it is still a mortal body, and it can only be regarded as pseudo-congenital.

The ancient cultivation system was that the meridians, dantian, and physical body were all transformed, and they were completely separated from the mortal body, which was a complete innate body.

After the congenital, the realm of refining the body is divided into quenching the body, forging bones, refining tendons, viscera, and blood coagulation, and each realm is divided into nine layers, corresponding to the star surface realm, star shell realm, star mantle realm, star core realm, and source star realm of the star power realm.

The later you go, the bigger the gap between each small realm will be.

Basic attack power and basic defense power mean that all external forces such as martial arts and equipment are eliminated.

In terms of basic attack power alone, in the same realm, those who simply cultivate the physical body are twice as strong as those who simply cultivate star power.

In terms of basic defense alone, those who simply cultivate the physical body have a strong physical body, and the higher the realm, the higher the defense, while those who simply cultivate star power do not have their own defense, and can only rely on external forces.

So in essence, those who simply cultivate the physical body are several grades stronger than those who simply cultivate star power.

If you want to successfully survive the Tribulation, physical defense plays a key role, because in the face of the Tribulation, any external support will be useless, and the Tribulation will ignore all external factors and directly attack your body.

However, those who simply cultivate star power can use external forces such as martial arts, star weapons, and even talismans and formations to achieve the effect of increasing attack power and defense power. Therefore, in the actual battle, in the case of the same realm, those who simply cultivate the physical body can often only lose in the face of those who simply cultivate star power.

And Zhong Hou took the most authentic path of cultivation, the star power and the physical body were initiates, combining the advantages of both. In addition, what he absorbed was the most primordial star energy, and the energy level was one level higher than that of the alien star energy, and in the case of the same realm, the competition of pure star power could completely defeat the so-called cultivators today.

In other words, measured by the current cultivation system, Zhong Hou is both a cultivator and a body refiner.

So from this point, it can be sure that Zhong Hou will definitely be an invincible existence of the same level in the future, and even has the ability to challenge beyond the level.

It is also conceivable that the ancient cultivators who are inscribed with star power and physical body are really not a little bit stronger in terms of comprehensive strength compared to the current so-called cultivators.
