After everyone had rested, more than an hour had passed.

And as Ian himself speculated, after holding the power of the Dead Lord for a while, he already had a vague sense of the existence of the 'Heart Light Body'.

To be honest, after practicing the path of sublimation for so many years, Ian has long had an accurate understanding of the power system of the Terra world.

Essentially, the focus of Terra's ascension is not on the body at all, but on the 'soul'.

According to the many classics in the Imperial Capital Library and the few words about the pre-era civilization, Ian noticed that during the pre-era civilization, there seemed to be no sublimators above the 'fourth energy level', not even the first energy level of all the staff.

The whole art of ascension is a branch of alchemy, a spiritual sect that focuses primarily on the elevation of one's soul.

In the pre-era civilization, there were not many demonic beasts today, nor did they have so many rich power components, and the sublimators at that time could only temper their spirits while sharpening their bodies through continuous meditation and exercise, so that their spiritual will could reach a point of 'perfection', that is, to reach the limit of human beings.

After that, if you have the talent, you can gradually perceive the essentia and use the essentia to condense the source seed for yourself.

This is the first level.

Only when you reach the limit of human beings can you be qualified to condense the source species, and the success rate of the source species is not high, although at that time medicine was extremely developed, and you can save it if you fail, but since then it is extremely difficult to do it a second time.

The second energy level requires the essentia accumulated by the source species to reach a threshold, so that the spirit gradually matures, and then condenses the soul.

The third energy level is another metamorphosis - after the soul is condensed, it can move away from the body.

As we all know, human beings don't need a soul to think, the body itself has wisdom, and the soul itself also has the ability to think independently, and the two resonate in a way that transcends time and space, and think doublely, and this soul that comes out of the body even has all kinds of mysterious abilities.

At that time, the soul was called the psychic body, the substitute or superego...... All in all, that was already the limit of what the sublimation skills of the previous era civilization could reach.

After all, in a civilization that can reach and transform the virtual realm by relying on simple alchemy, the function of the soul can be completely replaced by many phase instruments and alchemy.

And the process of sublimation cultivation is very painful, and it depends on talent - here it refers to a state of mind that persists, and purely physical talent is meaningless to the civilization of the previous era - even if it is successful and has a soul, it is just that you can dive into the virtual realm without using instruments, and it is not a big deal.

There is only a third energy level, which is enough to become a master and a privileged person in the relevant field.

Because they have indeed proved their extraordinary will and wisdom, they can not seek the speed and convenience brought by any technology in this world, but analyze their own hearts and dig deep into the power of their souls.

Such a person can succeed in whatever he does, can achieve anything in his career, even if he is unlucky for a while, as long as he is not killed, he will be able to rise again, and he will not be discouraged and blame himself, but will rationally and objectively examine his mistakes.

Because his way of seeing the world has gone beyond the minds of mortals, they look at the world condescendingly as if they were manipulating game characters, and the physical body is no longer a cage that binds their thinking and perspective, but a starting point.

As for the fourth energy level......

Mankind has never reached this level of energy on its own in the pre-era civilization.

It is actually their creations that possess this power - originally those super creatures such as the 'Otherworld Colony Center' and the 'Space Battleship Carrier Carrier' that use the Aether Furnace as the core energy source, whether it is a crystalline dragon or a frost trap moth, they are the ultimate civilization war weapons created by the pre-era civilization by integrating the essence of the entire civilization, if it is placed on an ordinary planet, it is enough to suppress the entire planet.

Even in the vast stars of the universe, there are very few planets with natural fourth-level life, each of which is an extremely rare Titan planet, an ultra-high-risk forbidden place of death.

And such a heavy weapon of civilization, the civilization of the previous era has built countless kinds, God knows how many, how many.

Anyway, with the Tinder ships of alien civilizations, the Terrans of the pre-era civilization are full of inspiration, and they are fanatically absorbing those technologies and turning them from imagination to reality in their own way.

However, this originated from alien technology and even civilization forms, and also greatly affected the development of the Terra civilization itself.

The most obvious part of the performance is the sublimation technique.

This was exacerbated by the catastrophe of the skyfall.

Disaster from the sky. So far, no one knows what the truth of this catastrophe is that destroyed the civilization of the previous era, but the broken moon is enough to prove that it is a terrible disaster that is enough to completely destroy the civilization of Terra, and it is only the moon of vision that prevents the destruction for the people.

A significant portion of the surviving Terrans are Ascendants...... The individual strength of the sublimators is proven to be able to live comfortably and even better in the environment after the catastrophe of the Heavenly Fall.

Why did pre-epoch civilizations need to reach the limits of the human body in order to condense the source species?

To put it bluntly, in fact, the human species is too weak in flesh.

- Since the senses cannot capture essentia, then we transform our bodies.

Even if it is limited to the strength of the physical body and cannot perceive the source species as an adult, it can at least greatly increase the number of essentia perceivers.

At this point, the civilization of the previous era has adapted - they have transformed all of humanity, whether it is the people of white, the people of red, the people of iron, the people of gold, and even the elven dwarves, fish-people and sub-humans...... They are all adaptive 'templates' developed in the past for interstellar migration and corresponding to various different planets.

Yes. Terra humans will show different adaptations depending on the area they live in.

Any human race that exists today is essentially a human being, but because of the drastic changes in Terra and the polarization of the ecological environment, they have shown adaptation to different planetary environments.

In this case, through the screening caused by a large number of deaths, the human race adapted to the post-disaster world was naturally born.

They are the Terrans of today. The Terra Clans.

Adaptation essentia and sublimation ethnicity.

But that's not enough.

The first energy level is too weak, except for the perception and energy greatly improved by the outside world, there is actually no strengthening of strength - all kinds of demonic beasts, sky-falling monsters, aliens and even alien monsters are wreaking havoc on the land of Terra, just with the weak power of the first energy level, it is impossible to fight with these man-made weapons and tools, and even alien monsters.

So, use their power for yourself.

The biotechnology of the Terra people of the pre-era civilization is extremely advanced, and they have long left the foundation for their flesh to carry various biological organs, and even loaded quite a few.

After the catastrophe of the Heavenly Fall, the people of Terra transformed their own flesh with the remnants of alchemy and sublimation skills, refined the essentia structure in the body of the demonic beast, and carried out a kind of refining to create the original potion.

That was the original prototype of the path of ascension that Ian practiced today.

Based on the information in the Sequoia base, as well as the hints given by the silver chip, Ian sorted out the evolution of the pre-era civilization to the present day of Terra's sublimation skills.

And from this, he keenly realized that the current sublimation technique is essentially two sets of cultivation systems.

One is Terra's original 'soul ascension'. One is the 'physical sublimation' that developed after the catastrophe of the Heavenly Fall.

The mixture of these two systems of cultivation allowed the 'Fifth Energy Level', a level that had not been fully touched by the previous era civilizations, to be born.

And the heart light body is no longer just a condensed soul with supernatural abilities.

It is a fifth element that is conceived after the organic combination of the soul and the physical essentia.

"Aether ......"

Standing on the edge of the black soil field, Ian stared at the mist in his hand that shimmered with a cyan glow.

It appears to be an entity, but if one touches it, it will never react to it.

Only Ian. Only Ian himself could manipulate this fifth element, conceived by the mixing of his soul and essentia.

The fifth element is unique and never the same for everyone.

He whispered slowly, "I see, psionic energy and essentia are essentially one. The reason why natural psionic energy is difficult to use is that it is the deepest integrated with essentia, it is the closest power to the primordial ether, so it is almost inexhaustible. ”

"Only when human beings have mastered the primordial Empress Dowager can they freely control the power of the world like a true transcendent being. The same is true of Warcraft, the giants of the Behemoths are unreasonably large precisely because they are supported by the Aether and the Divine Psychic Energy. ”

"Potions can only provide the material for 'physical sublimation', and if you really want to achieve the transition from the second energy level to the third energy level, the potion is just an introduction, it is just a simple 'source of power for the sublimator'. What is needed for sublimation is an extremely stable perception of the self, so stable that even if the body has no soul and the soul has no body, it can still maintain the 'consensus' that it is exactly the same and never goes wrong. ”

"And the solidity of this consensus can even make the initial mixture of the spiritual energy condensed in the soul and the essentia condensed in the body, creating the first 'primordial ether' in the human body."

"And the heart light body was conceived from this primordial ether."

"And it can affect essentia and natural spiritual energy, so that people who do not have spiritual energy can also create 'life spiritual energy' for themselves."

Ian didn't need this - he already had the Prophetic Horizon, and if his Psychic Body awakened again, it would only be an enhancement and support for the Precognitive Horizon, but even so, his Psychic Horizon would be extremely powerful.

And now, with the blessing of the power of the Dead Monarch and the extremely large amount of essentia nurtured by the ancient dragon's heart core, Ian's body has begun to condense a little bit of 'primordial ether' bit by bit.

He's already condensing his heart light.

But this is only the power of the Dead King, and it does not mean that Ian himself has completely crossed that threshold.

Ian is still thinking about his 'consensus'.

- What is it that I will never abandon and act on it, so that I will not be troubled, worried, or distracted?

Ian silently looked around the entire black earth pastoral, his scarlet bloody eyes looked around the entire subspace labyrinth, and his doubts seemed to be asking many souls: "What about you?" ”

【Revenge】

The revenants responded in unison: [And rest]

There was no hesitation in their voices, no distractions or troubles, no confusion or confusion.

That's what they've always agreed on.

Oh, yes. So, if a deceased king fully integrates himself into these revenant souls, he will break through the third level by leaps and bounds, having his own psychic body.

But Ian is different...... His sense of self was too strong to be affected by the Dead.

Even, he is still influencing the souls of the dead in turn.

But even so, the Revenants are still relying on their own consensus to condense the Psychic Light and provide Ian with valuable experience in condensing the Psychic Body.

At this moment, Ian heard the voice of the Huaiguang rescue team led by Huijian, who had finished resting.

Never mind. It's time to go.

He thought so.

So Ian turned and walked towards them.

Towards the end of this adventure.
