Chapter 471: Growth Nourishment Needed for Abilities
The data ability is the biggest foundation for Jiang Yan to go all the way from an ordinary person to the current super powerhouse at the level of destroying the city and pulling out the village.
Read, parse, and rewrite data. This is his deepest understanding of his own abilities.
From Jiang Yan's perspective of supernatural abilities, from flowers and trees, earth, rocks, mountains and rivers, to all living beings of all races, and the laws of heaven and earth, they can all be analyzed, cognitive, and understood in the form of 'data', and even the composition and ability of the creatures themselves, he can regard them as a kind of data information, and then use his abilities to interfere with them to a certain extent, and scan, analyze, copy, or delete and modify them.
At present, Jiang Yan is not free to directly rewrite any data in "reality" with his own will.
Jiang Yan can analyze the constituent data of a human being, so as to scan out the 'data' such as the body's bloodline, soul memory, and natural skills of the human being, and even copy it in the form of pure 'data information' and save it into the information inventory of his own ability, and then through a rule similar to 'equivalent exchange', after paying the corresponding price, these preserved illusory 'data' will be embodied into 'reality'.
But he still can't directly rewrite the data of that human according to his own heart, such as directly modifying an 'ordinary human' to 'immortal', 'alien beast' and the like. Jiang Yan can only perform very limited operations on specific targets according to the rules that have been perfected by the ability itself.
However, he has already developed an ambition for this.
At this stage of the promotion from the third level to the fourth level, it is necessary to build a foundation and understand the path of the future, and when this step is completed, it means that the "Dao Seed" has taken shape.
After condensing the "Dao Seed", those powerful people can bring out the power that the "Dao Seed" possesses that has initially reached the realm of the "Dao" to a greater or lesser extent.
What is formed is the power of the realm, which usually has extraordinary power comparable to that of gods in the eyes of mortals in a single thought, and the life level will truly transform from 'mortal' to 'holy' or 'god' level.
Unless it is restricted by the rules of some special worldview, otherwise, the powerful and powerful people of this realm, Shou Yuan is often enough to survive for thousands of years to be able to see the vicissitudes of the mortal world!
With such great power, to achieve such a state, it is naturally not an idle person.
It is not easy for a cultivator to climb to the third level (Legendary Realm) by himself, and then to the higher realm, just by the crucial step of comprehending the "Dao" of the self and condensing the "Dao Seed", he can stump 99% of the people on the previous basis.
The way of comprehending oneself is to realize the power of at least one law of heaven and earth, and the way of the law, even if it is a relatively superficial and low-level side door and small way, is also extremely obscure for ordinary people, and those who can comprehend it must basically rely on an excellent understanding far beyond ordinary people.
Looking at the current Lingzi World, the number of third-level legendary realm masters on the bright side may even reach hundreds, but the only known fourth-level powerhouses are the 'Dragon God' of the Dragon Clan and the 'Lord of Holy Light' of the Holy Light Church.
One can imagine how difficult it is to comprehend the way of the law and condense the "Dao seed".
After Jiang Yan awakened his ability, his own comprehension was not bad, and he estimated that if he concentrated on enlightenment, sooner or later he would be able to advance to the fourth-level realm with his own efforts.
There are two ways to comprehend the way of the law, one is to rely on one's own understanding to condense one's own "Dao seed", and the other is to seize the "Dao seed" or the fragment of the way of the law from others, or you can also extract the fragments of the way of the law from some items that contain the power of the law, so as to condense the "Dao seed".
Jiang Yan had previously devoured the remnants of a clone of the Star Luo Venerable Lord, and had seized a trace of the Star Luo Venerable Lord's understanding of the laws of the way of "space", so that he had entered the threshold of the way of "space".
After spending more than a month under the Nederlys, where he meditated and comprehended the mysteries of the main material realm's restoration mechanism for the passage of the spatial plane, this perception of the way of space became more mature.
Jiang Yan was sure that as long as he spent more time and energy and continued to comprehend, sooner or later he would be able to directly obtain a realm comparable to that of the original Star Luo Venerable Lord in the "Space", so as to condense the Dao Seed and successfully advance to the fourth level.
Compared to other legendary masters who were still groping for how to obtain the "Dao Seed", Jiang Yan's path to the fourth-level realm could be said to have been basically paved.
However, Jiang Yan was still not satisfied with this, because in that way, the time required was still too long after all.
According to conservative estimates, it would take at least 10 years or more to grind the water.
Every master of the third-level legendary realm basically needs at least decades to be able to achieve today's achievements, and if he can exchange this for the opportunity to be promoted to the fourth level at the cost of this, for most legendary masters, this time is really not long at all. Even if this time is extended to hundreds of years, it must be acceptable to the vast majority of people.
After reaching the Level 3 Legendary Realm, even if it is a short-lived race like a human being who is born with a relatively short lifespan, even if the life level has not yet undergone essential transformation, their lifespan will be greatly improved.
Especially for human beings, the changes in this regard are the most obvious, originally only human beings who can survive for about a hundred years, after cultivating to the third-level legendary realm, almost all of them can obtain the lifespan of immortal species that are not weaker than those born with the potential of the legendary realm, and can often live to at least five hundred or even thousands of years old, far beyond the range of the average life span limit of the human race.
The long life experience accumulated by a long life span allows these cultivators to often be able to concentrate on one thing for several years or even more than ten years.
However, Jiang Yan was different from them, mainly because he grew up too fast compared to most cultivators.
When he was in the Canglan Domain, it only took him less than two years to go from a humble cultivation of a mere Heavenly Realm martial artist to a first-level and third-order martial artist, and he soared to the realm of a third-level Heavenly Rank martial artist at a rapid pace.
Although Jiang Yan split his soul with the help of the talent of supernatural abilities for more than ten years, and divided into another will, he stayed in the Canglan Domain to take charge of the Red Jade Tower for more than ten years, but most of that will was rational components, and the nature of the mind was similar to that of an intelligent machine.
Jiang Yan, who has more emotional components, was reincarnated in the Lingzi world. Although it can be regarded as more than ten years, most of them are in a deep state of recuperation due to the injuries of the true spirit, and it is the spirit personality that has experienced this period of life outside, and his true spirit has not participated.
After the recovery of the true spirit, even if he fused the life experience of the split spirit, Jiang Yan's actual experience did not improve much, and he still did not get used to the kind of life of more than ten years of cultivation.
If there was no other way, Jiang Yan could also endure his temperament and slowly grind him for decades in exchange for the promotion and transformation of his cultivation.
However, he didn't really need to, as he found that if he focused on developing his data abilities, he could move that time forward considerably.
If it is said that the "space" path born from the 'Star Luo Venerable Lord' still needs Jiang Yan to spend ten years to blossom and bear fruit, then Jiang Yan estimates that it will only take four or five years at most for the data ability.
While comprehending the laws of the plane passage under the Nederlais, Jiang Yan discovered a phenomenon: in addition to his comprehension of the way of "space" becoming more perfect, the power of the data ability itself seems to be gradually growing and slowly becoming stronger.
It's just that this growth rate seems to be faster at the beginning of his enlightenment, and then it starts to get slower and slower.
At that time, Jiang Yan faintly had a kind of realization - if he could continue to grow his ability like this, he didn't need to comprehend the way of other laws, and he would be able to smoothly enter the door of the fourth-level realm by relying on the growth and progress of his ability alone.
So, why does the ability grow faster at the beginning and then slower later?
The answer to this question, Jiang Yan had a more reliable conjecture in a certain experience later.
It was when he entered the magical energy plane, Jiang Yan launched a war of conquest against the remnants of the demonic energy clan such as Camon, and when he used his ability to scan and copy a large number of higher-level program data from Camon and Rabail, he once again noticed that his ability suddenly increased significantly in that short period of time!
In addition, when analyzing the high-level magic puppet weapons of the Demon Energy Clan, Jiang Yan found that the ability had also increased, but the amplitude was much smaller than when copying the program data of masters such as Camon.
Perhaps, in the past, when Jiang Yan's ability copied the data of other creatures' memory knowledge, talent skills, bloodline inheritance and other programs, and when he used his ability to scan and record all kinds of intelligence information from the outside world, the ability itself also grew, but Jiang Yan didn't feel obvious about it at that time. And this kind of growth didn't begin to show up until Jiang Yan's cultivation realm was greatly promoted, and even became a new ability that he had awakened.
Jiang Yan felt that whether it was scanning and copying the program data of other living beings, or scanning and analyzing various intelligence information from the outside world, from the perspective of supernatural abilities, it was a process of collecting and absorbing new data.
Therefore, Jiang Yan had a guess - his ability might be able to grow and improve with the data and information he collected, and his own power would also grow, become stronger, and even continue to transform and upgrade!
And as long as the ability is upgraded, it is very likely that the relationship between Jiang Yan's cultivation level and ability level will be reversed, from the past cultivation level promotion led to the increase of ability level, to the increase of ability level, which in turn promoted the transformation of cultivation.
As a result, Jiang Yan made a decision: simply use the ability itself as the foundation "Dao Seed" for his path to the fourth-level realm, and go all out to develop it!
After all, it seems that the more advanced the data, the greater the growth rate after the ability scans and absorbs it, and the data of the "Dao" of the Law is undoubtedly advanced enough. It can be said that it is the best growth food for Jiang Yan's ability.
No matter which law he chooses to comprehend, the ability is likely to grow simultaneously, even if he doesn't deliberately work hard to comprehend, directly seize other people's Dao seeds, or collect various secret treasures containing the power of the law for analysis, he can achieve the same effect, and the key thing is that there seems to be no trouble!
You must know that seizing other people's "Dao Seeds", "Law Fragments" and other achievements, even if you can use them to advance to a higher realm, there is still a certain risk. After all, it is someone else's thing after all, and after you snatch it, it is of course best if you can digest it smoothly, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to refine at that time, resulting in 'indigestion', and even if you are unlucky, you will encounter the hidden hand trap left by others in the "Dao Seed" and "Law Fragment", but instead pit your own face full of blood and the like, then there will be no place to cry.
As his cultivation improved day by day, the more information he knew, Jiang Yan was now glad that he was at the beginning—he had devoured a fragment of the law of the Star Luo Venerable Lord, who was an old fourth-level powerhouse, without any accident, and fortunately did not suffer from the secret hand in the process.
Or rather...... Even if the Star Luo Venerable Lord actually had some secret hand on the Split Spirit at the beginning, it was also erased by the domineering power of the Ability at that time? Jiang Yan also inexplicably devoured the Star Luo Venerable Lord's Split Spirit at the beginning, and at that time he was extremely weak because of the heavy blows, and his memory of that time was a little vague, and he didn't quite remember if there were any details in it.
Anyway, if you think about it from another perspective, Jiang Yan feels that he will definitely leave behind, even if he falls in the future, he will definitely not let the enemy get any benefit from his corpse!
Ignoring the risk of directly robbing others of the results of the "Dao Seed", Jiang Yan still felt that focusing on improving his abilities would be more suitable for him. After all, if it were the most essential foundation, what could be more suitable for him than the ability that has supported him all the way to where he is now?
What is best for you is the best result. At this point, Jiang Yan still has points in his heart.
Therefore, the "Heart of Nature" in the hands of the Wood Elemental Elf Queen was extremely important to Jiang Yan. Not only is it a branch function that can be used to develop abilities in advance, but it also greatly promotes the growth of the nature of abilities.
For Jiang Yan, it was far less difficult for Jiang Yan to directly analyze the products of the existing laws and principles left by his powerful predecessors than for him to work hard to comprehend the visions of heaven and earth.
Because, the difference between the two is like reading an article, the former has already been translated by the predecessors, while the latter is still hidden with a password at the level of the Book of Heaven. If he had a choice, Jiang Yan certainly hoped to directly absorb the good results that his predecessors had created.
Jiang Yan didn't need to refine the power in the "Heart of Nature" into his own foundation, he just collected the data it represented, so he didn't have to worry about what hidden dangers would appear.
Now, although Jiang Yan's cultivation has not improved significantly, the power of his abilities is obviously much stronger than in the previous months.
The "data rewriting" that Jiang Yan showed when he fought against the Wood Elemental Elf Queen and slightly involved "reality" was the result of barely being able to do it after the essence of the ability was improved.
"Hmm, the fastest shortcut to the growth of the ability is to directly collect all kinds of secret treasures containing the power of the law, artifacts and other data, except for the 'Heart of Nature' on the side of the Wood Spirit Yuan Clan, are there any other treasures of a similar level in this world......
Looking at the Wood Elemental Elf Queen who had dispersed the dust light at some point and reappeared in front of him, with no injuries visible all over her body, Jiang Yan's thoughts were a little off track.
It seems that there is one thing on the side of the Holy Light Church...... I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
