In fact, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the two cultivation civilizations did not make much sense to Xin Yu. Because in essence, Xin Yu does not belong to one of these two types of cultivation, to be more accurate, Xin Yu himself belongs to the kind of cultivation category that absorbs the strengths of all families, and uses the "Dao" of Qi refining to practice...... That is, the "guiding program", and the "technique" in the practice of astrology...... For example, the method of visualizing the starry sky.

Blending together is Xin Yu's cultivation path, he is not exactly a qi refiner, nor is he exactly an astral magician. If there is a definition, then Xin Yu is actually the kind of cultivator who has gone out of his own way.

However, at this stage, although Xin Yu already has a certain amount of "self-preservation power", and in terms of actual combat effectiveness, he can also compete with the astrologists who have just entered the galaxy realm with a subtle realm. Speaking of which, it seems to be a bit "far away" to re-embark on the road of refining qi.

However, after Xin Yu carefully compared the benefits that the two cultivation could bring, Xin Yu still decided to return to the "breaking point" of the "original" Jindan Dacheng and resume Qi refining cultivation.

Because, for now, Xin Yu has entered a monotonous and stable ascent period in his astrological cultivation...... Even if you switch to "Qi refining mode", it will not interrupt this rhythm. It's as if someone already has a relatively idle career, which does not prevent him from taking a "part-time" job.

For astromagicians, the biggest difficulty is not to perceive any laws or anything like that...... At least before the Great Star Warlock realm, the only goal of the Star Warlock was to accumulate enough spiritual power to make his "realm" higher.

And Xin Yu himself has the method of visualizing the starry sky...... This is the benefit brought by the crossing, so that his soul and divine consciousness can withstand the impact of such a huge "potential". Coupled with the divine stones that can nourish the soul and purify the spiritual power exchanged from the Astrology Alliance, Xin Yu's process of astral cultivation is like a worker on the assembly line, always repeating this kind of work, just to improve his spiritual power...... Including improving the quality and total amount of meridian spiritual power, for Xin Yu, it has formed a routine like living in eating and drinking.

And on the road of increasing mental power, Xin Yu not only has some "boredom" emotions, in essence, the improvement of spiritual power brought by visualizing the starry sky is not as rapid as before...... This is because of the cruelest truth he faced after his astral level was raised.

Resuming Qi refining cultivation may not be able to increase Xin Yu's combat effectiveness much, nor will it be possible to cause a greater breakthrough in his cultivation, let alone increase his lifespan because Qi refining can continue...... Although the cultivators in Xin Yu's previous life all had the existence of "borrowing their lives from the heavens" and claiming to be "anti-heavens", even the cultivators in the god transformation stage actually did not have any special advantages compared to astromagicians in terms of lifespan.

At least compared to the lifespan of the Great Star Warlock calculated in 10,000 years, the Qi Refiner has no advantage at all in this regard, not to mention the life limit of the Sage-level Star Warlock who can easily reach the limit of hundreds of millions. Come to think of it, the small stone has lived for six million years, which is already quite impressive, isn't it? But of all the saints, the little stone has not the longest lifespan.

Although Xiao Shi has always regarded himself as a "veteran" sage and an "old-timer", in the astral world of the entire universe, as far as Xiao Shi himself knows, there are several sages who have lived for tens of millions of years, not to mention those who Xiao Shi does not know, as well as those powerful sages who are unknown in "history".

What is the concept of millions of years or even tens of millions of years? Ordinary people can live past 100 years, which is already very remarkable. And from the perspective of the normal "human" concept of time, even a thousand years of time is already far, far away. If you don't believe it, just find an earthling in the 21st century in Xin Yu's previous life and ask, what kind of existence did the first thousand years of AD have for them?

Don't think that in Taoist legends, words such as "Huiyuan", "Mixed Yuan Measuring Tribulation", and "Mixed Yuan Immeasurable Tribulation" are often used to express time, and you think that Taoist monks can really have such a long life...... If there is really such a power, it will definitely not remain unknown on the earth, at least Taoism will not be suppressed by scientific civilization after time comes to modern times.

Because Xin Yu hadn't come into contact with many cultivators in his previous life, he hadn't even heard of rumors of real cultivators. And he hasn't experienced such a long time of "testing", and he doesn't know how long he can live in the transformation period. But at least self-perception can be known, for example, at the moment when he transforms his internal force into spiritual power, he is indeed aware of a leap and change in the level of life...... However, relative to his feelings, it is also the lifespan of an ordinary Star Magician in the Galaxy Realm - because the ultimate lifespan of an Star Magician in the Galaxy Realm is completely dependent on the "quality" of the golden body cast when casting the alchemy body, so it seems to be no different from the five hundred years of life of Jin Dan Dacheng - but when Xin Yu integrated the law of time into the golden body, he could "estimate" his natural lifespan, which was only hundreds of years higher than that of the Star Magician who did not enter the Great Star Magician Realm...... In other words, it is only twice as much.

Doubling the evil lifespan and reaching the limit lifespan of two thousand years is already very remarkable, at least for the current Xin Yu, he feels that this is enough. Even after Xin Yu had already determined that he had entered the stage of transforming into a god, that is to say, after successfully transforming a wisp of Jindan Zhiqi into spiritual power, he did not feel that his body had greater "benefits".

This is because, objectively speaking, life span cannot be superimposed. Only when the physical fitness can be improved even more in line with the considerable facts, will you clearly feel that your life expectancy has been extended...... It's like an adolescent who always feels that he has unlimited energy, but when he reaches old age, he can obviously feel that every year is not as good as the year.

Philosophically speaking, at the beginning, life is always adding, and "plus" refers to the age of the person and the growth of the body. And after middle age, human life is doing swordsmanship, and what is "subtracted" is the "total length" of human life, as well as the physical and spiritual strength of human beings. However, for practitioners, all they can perceive is "subtraction".

It's not that a practitioner feels that he or she is not as good as he is a year after year, but because his spiritual power is strong and sensitive, he can feel the changes in his body from the subtleties, and he knows the limits of his physical fitness that can make him "survive".

Therefore, Xin Yu's ability to perceive the limit of his life is based on this "principle", and as mentioned earlier, because life itself cannot be superimposed, it depends on whether people's physical fitness is improved. Xin Yu didn't feel the change in his lifespan, and deduced the other way around, that is to say, Xin Yu didn't feel that his physical fitness had improved.

In this way, it seems that after entering the transformation god, the benefits that Xin Yu can get are still not visible. However, the benefit of Qi refining is not that the life span of a practitioner can be extended indefinitely...... Although all cultivators are a little "greedy" towards immortality, and the practice of refining qi itself is also aimed at immortality for a long time, perhaps it is "wrong and wrong", compared with astrology, the greatest advantage of qi refining is that it can make practitioners and nature "get along" more harmoniously, that is, the reason for the unity of heaven and man.

Therefore, after Xin Yu turned to practice qi refining and entered the realm of transforming gods, it was not without any benefits. On the contrary, after entering the realm of transforming gods, the benefits are far more than not cultivating. At the very least, that is, Xin Yu was able to come into contact with the law more easily, and not just perceive it through the formation formed by his Ten Peerless Star Treasures...... What's more, the laws contained in the Ten Absolute Formations are not comprehensive enough, are they?

Moreover, this state of unity between heaven and man can make it easier for cultivators to perceive the existence of the law. Facing the "imminent" arrival of the Great Star Warlock Realm, Xin Yu had every reason to believe that he would be able to buy that "threshold" very smoothly...... are all "double insurance", and the probability of success is naturally doubled.

As for following the path of gas refining in the future...... At least in the "general principles", it is easier to form a substantialized "realm", which is for Xin Yu's goal - to create his own world, after having the advantage of the unity of heaven and man, it is far easier to create his own world than the soul of any sage.

Let's not talk about taking shortcuts, at least you don't have to "take a long detour" like the sage, and you may even end up in a dead end. At the beginning, Xiaoshi didn't just walk into a dead end and didn't come out, even if he felt the complete law of temperature at the "last moment", he didn't touch other law fields, let alone form a perfect and complete law world.

Therefore, Xin Yu thought that he had stepped on the "old road" of refining qi, and it was definitely a "very wise" choice. Relatively speaking, although his behavior is a bit suspicious of "being greedy and chewing too much", thinking about the benefits of the future, it is impossible for him to give up "continuing the frontier".

As the author introduced before, for the current Xin Yu, astrological cultivation is also the accumulation of spiritual power, and he has stepped into a situation of "simple repetition". Even if Qi refining and cultivation didn't bring him any benefits, there was actually no hindrance...... This was under the premise that there was no conflict between his cultivation of Qi refining and his cultivation of astral arts.

Of course, the two cultivation methods of astral art and qi refining themselves cannot be completely free of conflict, but at present, Xingyu has not found anything inappropriate or incompatible between the spiritual power transformed by the Qi of the Golden Pill and the spiritual power "stolen" and transformed from the "potential" of the starry sky.

In fact, Xin Yu didn't know that if he didn't have the existence of the Divine Stone, a genius earth treasure that can be called an "artifact", he could purify his spiritual power to the same "material...... Or "frequency". In short, if there is no Divine Stone, the spiritual power generated by the two kinds of Qi refining and astral cultivation is also different.

Maybe in a short period of time, because the two spiritual powers belong to the same "master", there will be no "disputes" for the time being, but as time goes by, when the two essentially distinct spiritual powers are somewhat "irreconcilable", it will bring great trouble to Xin Yu.

Speaking of which, the reason why the sacred stone can be named after "god" is that its effect is definitely worthy of its name. Therefore, before he came into contact with the law, and even before he chose to turn the soul into a law, Xin Yu's simultaneous cultivation of qi refining and star magic would not cause any conflict in itself...... As for the conflict that will arise at that time, that is, whether the soul will be "natural" and have an impact on Qi refining cultivation, Xin Yu currently does not know, and he also feels that it is a very "distant" thing.

For the present, it is better to do the things now well, and the things in the future will be talked about later, isn't there a saying that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge? Although many times it is not the current that pushes the boat to make it change, but the boatman who supports the boat at the helm controls the boat to turn around, but Xin Yu feels that he can always find a way in the future, because if he wants to reach the realm of the sage, even if he is judged by Xin Yu's "genius high speed and efficiency", the minimum estimate will take more than a thousand years, right?

Therefore, Xin Yu, who was immersed in the mutual communication and transformation of Jindan and Divine Consciousness, did not worry about the future, nor did he worry about the fact that Qi refining did not bring him near-term benefits. Even if refining qi is not good for the present, in the long run, it is still a very meaningful thing for his future.

In the process of transforming Jindan Zhiqi into spiritual power, Xin Yu did not feel that this kind of work like a "porter" was so boring...... For practitioners, the first quality that must be possessed is to endure loneliness. And Xin Yu was able to endure the loneliness of sitting down, but he liked this transformation work very much from the bottom of his heart.

Although there was not much spiritual power transformed by the Jin Dan Qi, not even one ten-thousandth of the spiritual power he obtained by visualizing the starry sky once, his "novelty" or "freshness" made him want to stop.

Moreover, in the process of transforming Jindan Qi into spiritual power, it is not as unidirectional and irreversible as converting light energy into electrical energy. But at the same time that the Qi of the Jindan is transformed into spiritual power, there is also a part of the spiritual power that is transformed into the Qi of the Jindan, as if it is a kind of exchange and blending. It's just that in the end, what Jin Dan "gets" is not as good as divine consciousness.

So this triggered another interest of Xin Yu, what if his "mind" was not to transform the Qi of the Golden Pill into spiritual power, but only to call between these two energies, or just the other way around, to transform his huge spiritual power into the Qi of the Golden Pill?

What kind of results will it cause? Will it "break" Jindan and become a different situation?
