The pioneering move was bound to be infinitely more difficult than following someone else's established cultivation method.
Fang Ming had no intention of undertaking such a thankless task.
After all, when there were no traps, following a well-trodden path was clearly simpler than forging one's own.
If there were no other options, then so be it. But with two established methods to achieve divine abilities, why bother creating a new one?
"The Tai Xuan Sect Master..."
"Analyzing his words, they do hold some truth. My current strength is already rigidly defined by the eighteen-star cultivation system."
Fang Ming sighed.
In truth, there was no other way.
In the three eras of the Void Sea, apart from the very first, where beings were free, the other two eras saw rulers forcibly suppress the strength of cultivators across myriad worlds with the origin of the Great Dao.
The six Great Dao True Saints, with their "Primordial Supremacy Theory," suppressed numerous powerful beings.
This not only victimized those outside the Primordial world but also those in lower and mid-tier Primordial worlds.
For instance, a True Daoist like the Primordial Origin was an invincible existence in a Primordial fictional world.
The six Great Dao True Saints would forcibly define this Primordial fictional world as a mid-tier Primordial world, then claim that any single powerful being from a high-tier Primordial world could instantly kill a True Daoist.
Why should two Primordial fictional worlds be ranked?
When forcibly defined as a mid-tier Primordial world, wouldn't the numerous omniscient, omnipotent, and logic-defying powerhouses who governed the three thousand Great Daos within that fictional world protest?
Therefore, the "Primordial Supremacy Theory" not only harmed the interests of powerful beings outside the Primordial world but also those within low, mid, and high-tier Primordial worlds. Only the supreme Primordial world, by virtue of this theory, stood above all other Primordial worlds, making it the sole beneficiary.
The Myriad Worlds楼主 (Myriad Worlds Master), with his "Wang Ba Die He Zi Theory" and "Mathematical Construction," suppressed numerous powerful beings.
This, in turn, classified fictional worlds possessing "Mathematical Construction" and "Die He Zi" as supreme.
This also harmed the interests of many powerful beings.
And it was clear that Fang Ming's current "True Dao realm," whether in the era of Primordial Supremacy or the era of the Myriad Worlds Master's rule, was destined to be suppressed.
The Myriad Worlds Master's eighteen-star cultivation system defined Fang Ming's strength as peak ten-star single-universe level.
If such a True Dao realm were placed in the era of Primordial Supremacy, it wouldn't be defined very highly either. It would likely be invincible within a mid-tier Primordial world, but any powerful being from a high-tier Primordial world could descend and obliterate it.
To put it bluntly, in a broad sense, both the Myriad Worlds Master and the six Great Dao True Saints were enemies.
In Fang Ming's current True Dao state, this constituted an infringement upon his interests.
"There's no choice. Since I lack the power to resist, I must first abide by their rules."
"This is an eternal truth. In any case, there are countless victims in the fictional worlds of the Void Sea, not just me. I'll just wait for them to finish their conflict."
"Some powerful beings, like the Tai Xuan Sect Master, are in a hurry, but I am not. If the sky falls, won't they be the ones to bear the brunt of it?"
"I should honestly focus on stacking boxes according to the eighteen-star cultivation system and strive to obtain the energy required to cultivate the methods beyond the Sacrifice Dao."
Fang Ming's current strength was approximately one layer of a box, infinitely close to two layers.
His initial goal was four layers of a box.
To stack boxes and engage in mathematical construction, he needed the energy from Jin Bifeng.
Fang Ming took out the energy converter and converted all the energy he had previously extracted from Jin Bifeng's body.
Name: Jin Bifeng
Original Earth Name: Jin Bifeng
Status: Sect Master of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, Second Generation Sect Master of the Jie Sect.
Cultivation: Peak Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal (considering only the carried-over cultivation, not that from the realm of nothingness).
Magic Treasure: Zhuxian Four Swords (Grade: Dao-Respecting Artifact, also known as Ultimate Dao Artifact), Zhuxian, which defies reason and logic, is invincible among peers.

Fang Ming, without any hesitation, seized Jin Bifeng's peak Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal cultivation and his five fully developed primordial worlds.
Rumble!
Fang Ming felt the five primordial worlds merge into his body.
These five primordial worlds were originally cultivated and developed to their peak by Jin Bifeng, hence his peak Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal cultivation, representing the apex of "quantity" and "quality" in the Great Awakening Immortal Dao.
Now, integrated into Fang Ming's body, Fang Ming's cultivation in the Great Awakening Immortal Dao directly advanced from the mid-to-late stage of Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal to the peak of Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal.
Even after this advancement, there was still a considerable amount of residual energy within Fang Ming.
"Should I break through to the Xuan realm?"
Fang Ming pondered. Jin Bifeng had mentioned that above the Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal was the Breaking Xuan realm, followed by the Great Venerable realm, the Master realm, the Immortal realm, and even beyond the Immortal realm across the Gate of Truth.
The Breaking Xuan realm, though a transitional stage, represented true perfect Immortal Emperor cultivation.
If he could break through to the Xuan realm, he would be no less than an Immortal Emperor with complete Emperor Dao laws.
After a brief moment of thought, Fang Ming shook his head and abandoned this idea.
Who knew how the Breaking Xuan realm was achieved? Fang Ming currently only possessed the cultivation method for the Great Awakening Immortal Dao, not the method for Breaking Xuan.
He didn't know how to cultivate to the Breaking Xuan realm.
Furthermore, breaking through from the Breaking Xuan realm to the Great Venerable realm was a matter of life or death.
He decided to forgo such a cultivation path, content with reaching the Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal stage and not delving further.
"By decomposing Jin Bifeng's five primordial worlds, not only did my internal primordial worlds reach the level of peak Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal, but there was also a significant amount of energy remaining."
"This energy will be used to enhance my Emperor Dao laws."
Fang Ming made his decision.
Fang Ming had only just stepped into the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, considered early-stage Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
The reason he was so formidable before, annihilating the Three Immortals and slaying Jin Bifeng, was due to several factors:
Firstly, the use of an unparalleled Emperor Dao technique, establishing himself in the Immortal Emperor's position.
Secondly, in addition to his powerful primordial spirit, physique, and magic power, Fang Ming possessed five primordial worlds of Hunyuan Great Awakening Golden Immortal. The strength of his internal world was something that Quasi-Immortal Emperors in perfect plots lacked.
Thirdly, Fang Ming possessed the True Dao body of the Primordial Origin, transcending logic.
The superposition of these multiple reasons resulted in such an outcome.
However, Fang Ming's cultivation was indeed only at the nascent stage of Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
The Emperor Dao laws of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor were incomplete, while those of an Immortal Emperor were complete.
Currently, Fang Ming's Emperor Dao laws were only one-tenth of the complete Immortal Emperor Emperor Dao laws, meaning they were nine-tenths incomplete.
This deficiency would naturally be filled by the energy.
As the energy poured in, Fang Ming's Emperor Dao laws continuously progressed from incomplete towards completeness.
Then, slowly, they reached ninety-five percent completeness.
